The Great Wei Music Bureau

Last time we talked about Bailing and the other two coming to visit again and asking Li Yi for a song about love. Li Yi looked up at the sky and saw that it was about to rain.

Li Yi set up his zither. Bai Ling and Hua Yu stopped playing and asked, "Master Li, do you have any music?"

Li Yi asked: "Do you know blue and white porcelain?" The three shook their heads.

Li Yi said: "Blue and white porcelain is a special color of porcelain, mainly blue-green, with sky blue being the best. To fire sky blue porcelain, you need a specific temperature and humidity, so it is only in the few days in June when the temperature is most suitable, and it also has to rain, and the rain has to be foggy and misty, not too heavy or too light. Only when these two conditions are met can you fire sky blue and white porcelain. Don't you think this is rare?"

The three girls nodded, and Ruolan asked, "It is indeed rare, but what does this have to do with our new song?"

Li Yi stroked the strings of the zither, and the prelude sounded. He said, "The name of this piece of music is "Blue and White Porcelain". Come and listen to it and see if you like it."

Li Yi played and sang at the same time, and purple air lingered around him, like light and fog, adding flavor to the song. Chen Liang and Fang Zhuo were stunned when they saw this scene, but Bailing and the other two were intoxicated by the song and were mesmerized by it.

As the tail sound faded away and the purple air entered his body, Li Yi smiled at everyone. Fang Zhuo sighed, "Little friend Li, you actually have such talent? A masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages? This is a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages!"

Li Yi smiled and said, "It's just an occasional feeling and an occasional gain. It's an unexpected work, an unexpected work."

His inner voice is: Jay Chou, check it out! YYDS! If this song can't be passed down, what else can be passed down? Look at you guys who have never seen the world. With the ability of my Chinese music library, I can sing all the songs I know, and you will be scared to death! Every song is a classic, and every song is passed down! I just want to ask you if you are convinced! Are you afraid? Isn't it awesome!

Hua Yu asked like a fanatic: "Master Li, can you write down the lyrics? I don't quite understand some parts, maybe there are some allusions we don't know, please give me some pointers."

Ruolan continued, "Yes, yes, I have to write down the score. This song is so beautiful. Listening to it reminds me of the scene of firing porcelain. He was thinking about his sweetheart while firing the porcelain. It was like I was watching him from the side. I could see the love and longing on his face. It's really beautiful!"

Bai Ling suddenly asked, "Does Music Master Li have a sweetheart? Otherwise, how could he write such beautiful lyrics and music? It's really enviable! If only Bai Ling had half the talent of Music Master Li."

What Li Yi was thinking was: Don’t stop praising me! Please keep praising me! I’m going to start showing off! Hahahaha, this feels so good! The feeling of being admired! Is this what it feels like to be an idol? Damn, this is too good! I’ve decided! I’m going to be an idol in the future! Charm thousands of girls! What’s the online name of that shameless Lin Gengxin? The dream of 900 million girls? Humph! I’m going to make this online name a reality!

Well, it seems a bit difficult. I'm afraid there aren't that many girls in this world. Besides, there's no TV or the Internet, so there are too few means of communication. Well, 900 million girls is indeed a bit difficult, but 10 million girls? Oh, forget it! Let's talk about this later!

Li Yi retracted his thoughts and waved his hand, saying, "Li has no lover, but I have heard the legend of blue and white porcelain, so I had this thought in my mind, and placed my waiting and longing in the porcelain, which led to this song."

Hua Yu and Ruolan were getting anxious, so they pulled Li Yi into the house and asked him to write down the song. Li Yi was carried back to the house by the two girls, and he wrote down the lyrics and score of the whole song in beautiful cursive script at the table, thanks to his experience of learning calligraphy in the Children's Palace in his previous life.

Chen Liang and Fang Zhuo also came to join in the fun. Chen Liang said, "Little friend Li, your calligraphy is really good! Hey, I don't quite understand the two sentences on the bottom of the bottle, the Han Li script and the copy of the Song style signature. Can you explain it to me?"

Hua Yu nodded and said, "Yeah! I don't understand this either."

At this time, everyone entered Li Yi's small house. The originally small house suddenly became crowded. Li Yi sat at the table. Everyone gathered around the table, looked at the song they had just written, and then looked at Li Yi, waiting for his explanation.

Li Yi thought to himself: Get out of the way! I'm going to start showing off! Li Yi cleared his throat and said, "The Han Li calligraphy on the bottom of the bottle that you don't understand is Han Li. Writing the year and kiln name on the bottom of the bottle is a common process for firing porcelain. Han Li is a type of font, very similar to Qin Li. The Song font in the copy of the Song font signature is the same. They are just a type of font."

As he spoke, Li Yi wrote the same words in both Han Li and Song fonts on another piece of paper so that everyone could see and hear them clearly.

Chen Liang said: "I didn't expect that you, Li Xiaoyou, are so good at calligraphy. This is the first time I've seen these two types of fonts. They are really good!"

The common fonts of this era were only regular script, running script, cursive script, Qin Li, and large and small seal scripts. So when everyone saw the words written by Li Yi in two completely new fonts, they felt that Li Yi was unfathomable!

Li Yi sighed in his heart: I just can't write the Slender Gold font. If I could, I would definitely let you see it! Let you feel the cultural heritage of China for 5,000 years! Ah! It seems that I still have to mix in the literary and artistic circle! I am really like a fish in water in this circle! Hahaha!

Li Yi withdrew his sighs and looked at the eyes of the crowd, full of pride. He finally found the joy of being a time traveler! Chen Liang and Fang Zhuo were amazed at Li Yi's talent. The three crazy girls were already full of hearts and infinite admiration.

The next few days were spent teaching and rehearsing music. Li Yi also went to see Xiao Ye and asked her about her recent situation. Xiao Ye replied indifferently, "What does my life have to do with you? Don't have any bad ideas! Don't bother me! Just be a good musician!"

After a few days, Bailing and her friends had performed "Blue and White Porcelain" very well. Li Yi also taught them some vocal knowledge to deepen their admiration for him. He really enjoyed the process.

Besides, Chen Liang and Fang Zhuo were more fond of Li Yi, and felt that this young man must be extraordinary and would soar to the sky sooner or later. As Li Yi's three songs were very popular in Liumoxuan, Li Yi's reputation had spread in Liumoxuan, and the girls all knew that this new musician was a very talented Confucian scholar.

One day, Bailing found Ruyun and asked, "Sister Ruyun, the weather has been very good recently and the temperature is suitable. How about we go out for an outing together?"

Ruyun looked puzzled and asked, "Why are you thinking of going for an outing?"

Bailing held Ruyun's hand and said coquettishly, "Good sister, look, the cold snap has passed, the flowers are blooming and the trees are green. We have been bored for so long, and I just want to go out and play together. Why don't you take us out for a walk?"

Bailing is Ruyun's favorite sister. Seeing the little girl acting like a spoiled child, she smiled and said, "You just want to go out for a walk?"

Bai Ling nodded and said, "Yes, I want to go out for a walk. I want to call a few masters to go out and see the mountains and rivers. I want Master Chen to paint a landscape painting, and let Master Li find his feeling again to see if he can come up with a new song!"

Ruyun stretched out her jade finger and pointed at Bailing's brow and said, "You, you want to go out for an outing with Li Yi, right? This guy is really talented. I also like these three songs. But you, girl, don't be tempted. Li Yi is not an ordinary person. He will leave here sooner or later. It's just that the time has not come yet."

Bai Ling shook her head like a rattle, "Sister, Bai Ling doesn't have that idea. I have no other thoughts about Li Leshi! It's just that Hua Yu and Ruolan asked me to take the lead and talk to you about the outing. We all want to go out for a walk. Good sister, please agree to us."

Ruyun thought for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go get ready. The day after tomorrow, if the weather is good, I'll take you guys out for a walk, but you have to come back before dark!"

"Yes, I'll listen to you!" Bailing flew away like a little bird. Ruyun looked at her leaving figure and sighed, "It's so good to be young, what a cute silly girl. I don't know how dangerous the world outside is, and how hateful these men are."

The three silly girls quickly told Li Yi and the other two masters about the outing. Chen Liang agreed to go with them, and Fang Zhuo said that he was too old to hang out with young people, but the three girls didn't care. After a day of preparation, the day of the outing arrived. The three girls washed and dressed up early, waiting for Sister Ruyun's departure order.

When the carriages were parked, Ruyun brought others with her, including a dancer, three girls who also wanted to go for an outing, and a few guards and servants. A group of more than ten people set off in a mighty procession, heading deep into the green mountains and clear waters outside the city.

Arriving at Qingshui Lake in the northeastern suburb of Qing'an City, everyone got off the car, set up tables and chairs under the shade of trees by the lake, and made a fire to cook. The servants caught a few fish, cleaned them and stuck them on tree branches, and asked the girls to roast them for fun. The girls were all very happy, laughing and playing like a group of crazy children, having endless fun. Although the food cooked in the countryside was not delicious, everyone gathered around the table, sitting, standing or squatting, eating with great satisfaction, with smiles on their faces.

Ruyun also smiled at the joy here, and said, "Sister is in a good mood today, let's play a game to add some luck! How about this, you can write a poem on the theme of mountains, water, spring, flowers, or people. The one who does the best will be exempted from morning classes for a month!"

These girls have to attend morning classes in the building in the morning. They have to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing and dancing, and are taught carefully by the masters. It is actually quite hard for them, so when they heard about the chance of being exempted from morning classes for a month, they started to think about it.

Ruyun watched these girls racking their brains to write poems, and said to Chen Liang: "Brother Chen, you see, these girls usually don't work hard, they only know how to flirt with those Confucian scholars and flatter them for a moment. Now that they have to show their real skills, they are all dumbfounded."

Chen Liang smiled and said, "Ruyun, don't ask too much of these children. They are all miserable people, and it's not easy for them now."

At this time, someone answered the question, "Spring is here, flowers are blooming, mountains are green, and the rippling water is moving. I don't know when the south wind will rise, and I can see the night sky full of stars."

Ruyun smiled and said, "Five themes in one poem, it's considered a lot of effort, but the parallelism and artistic conception are not satisfactory, it can only be said to be okay, not a masterpiece."

Afterwards, several people recited poems, but they were all mediocre and nothing special. After listening to a few poems, Chen Liang became interested, but not in poetry, but in painting. He set up his easel and began to paint. Stroke by stroke, line by line, he reflected the feeling of mountains and rivers on the paper. The painting was finished, but with a lot of white space left.

Chen Liang said, "Ruyun, whoever wins the prize today will write her poem on the blank space. What do you think?"

Ruyun smiled and said, "This is very good!"

Everyone gathered around to look at Chen Liang's paintings, praising Master Chen's painting skills. Li Yi also came over to look and said casually, "From a distance, the mountains are colorful; from close up, the water is silent. Spring is gone, but the flowers remain; when people come, the birds are not startled." The lavender talent emerged from the painting and slowly flowed into Li Yi's body.

When everyone saw this scene, they all saluted. Ruyun smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Music Master Li is not only good at music, but also has excellent poetry talent!"

Li Yi clasped his fists and said, "Sister Ruyun, you are too kind. I was just inspired by Master Chen's beautiful paintings. I am not a poet at all."

What he was thinking was: This is just a poem that primary school students must recite during the nine-year compulsory education. What does it mean? My famous poems have not yet been published! You guys wait, the situation is not right now, there is no need to bring out those famous poems! However, I just like to see your inexperienced looks and your eyes of worship towards me!

As soon as Li Yi finished writing this poem, the girls who hadn't written any poems yet were upset. "Sister Ruyun, Master Li is too rude to do this! After this poem is out, who among us can write a poem anymore? No, no, Sister Ruyun, please come up with another topic! Master Li is not allowed to participate!"
