Jia Lian practiced musketry for half a day in the Imperial City Firearms Camp.

As the commander of the firearms battalion, he, an old man, naturally needs to be proficient in using firearms.

When he returned to Ningrong Street, seeing that it was still early, Jia Lian did not rush back to his home, but instead stepped into the Ningguo Mansion.

After summoning the housekeepers, asking questions and arranging some matters as usual, Jia Lian originally wanted to find the You sisters to relieve their boredom, but unexpectedly the You sisters followed You Lao Niang to the temple and went to the temple.

So Jia Lian thought about going into the garden to look for a wonderful jade or a precious hairpin to talk to.

When you step into the Tianxiang Tower, you can hear the sound of the piano. The melody carried by the sound of the piano seems familiar and yet strange. When listening to it, I just feel that the sound reaches my ears, like the sound of nature.

Jia Lian couldn't help but stop, stood for a moment and then walked towards Tianxiang Tower.

Because of the presence of Gu Qingyi and their respective maids, Tianxiang Tower changed its once quiet and deserted appearance and became lively and lively.

After stopping the two little girls who saw him and wanted to give him a gift, Jia Lian followed the sound and came to the west building.

Through the window, I saw in the attic, a stunning beauty in gorgeous clothes, sitting upright behind the guqin. The melody was generated out of thin air while she was stroking it with her bare hands, and struck in all directions, capturing the hearts of the listeners. .

Gu Qingyi’s musical instrument Jia Lian has long known that, what really surprised him was that the tune he was playing at this time was actually a song he liked very much in his previous life.

Unexpectedly, a piece of music that he originally thought sounded good, after removing the lyrics and playing it with a pure guqin, turned out to be so novel and amazing.

What surprised Jia Lian even more was that if he remembered it correctly, he had only shown this "Love Song of the West Sea" once in front of Shen Pan'er and his daughters. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingyi's talent was so high that he could not only memorize the melody but also play it out just once.

Jia Lian cannot compose music. Although he has an extremely large music library that is very fresh to this world, he also intends to enrich the entertainment color of this world.

However, considering that studying music intensively cannot be achieved overnight, he does not have much time to spend on this matter for the time being.

However, in his spare time, there is no harm in training talented women such as Shen Paner.

This is actually the reason why Jia Lian brought these four beauties back to the capital, not just because of their beauty.

The music of the piano gradually stopped, but the brows of the beauty in the attic were slightly condensed, as if she was thinking about something. Then I saw her getting up and walking to the desk by the window, picking up a pen and sketching in a notebook.

People say that men who focus on doing things are the most attractive. In fact, the same is true for women.

Not to mention, such a stunning beauty has no other distractions. When she is obsessed with things, her static beauty makes people forget about the ordinary.

Jia Lian couldn't help but wonder what she was doing so intently, so she quietly walked into the attic and came to the desk.

Only then did Gu Qingyi realize that someone was coming. He raised his head and was about to stand up to salute. Jia Lian waved her hand to say no, then pointed to the note that the beauty had just sketched and revised, and asked: "Is this the score you wrote for this piece?"

When Gu Qingyi heard this, he looked up at Jia Lian and nodded. The head said: "Hui Lord, that's right. This is the 'finger notation' commonly used to record piano music, also known as the subtractive notation. It was created by Master Cao Rou in the Tang Dynasty.

It is precisely this method The existence of the Qin Dynasty has enabled many Qin music that appeared in the past few hundred years to be preserved, and will not be lost to inheritance with the passage of time like the famous music handed down before the Tang Dynasty."

Gu Qingyi said While walking, he glanced at Jia Lian several times.

This musical score does not record the height and length of the tune in words, but uses special symbols. It is impossible for ordinary people to recognize it, but Jia Lian was able to tell in one sentence that this is musical score.

As a young master from the Duke's palace, it was not surprising that Jia Lian knew piano music. What surprised her was that in the past, Jia Lian had clearly argued that he had no musical attainments.

Even if he could sing some novel and beautiful melodies from his mouth, he would say that they were hummed casually and not worth mentioning.

Now it seems that these are just excuses. He clearly has extremely profound attainments in music.

Jia Lian can’t read minds, so naturally he doesn’t know what the beauty in front of him is thinking.

The reason why he could recognize the music score at a glance was just because he had seen it in Daiyu's place. As a truly talented girl, Daiyu naturally knows how to play the piano.

Not only can she play the piano, she can also read music scores. According to Daiyu, it was her mother who taught her, and her mother was also a talented woman!

The story of a talented woman paired with a handsome man was also a good story back then.

It was only after Daiyu arrived at Jia's house that she lived with Jia Mu, fearing to disturb Jia Mu's peace, so she never showed off her skills in front of others.

It wasn’t until I moved into the Grand View Garden and the quiet Xiaoxiang Pavilion that I picked up this hobby again.

Looking at the deleted symbols on the note, Jia Lian knew that Gu Qingyi must have written the score of "Love Song of the West Sea" from memory, and there must be some things that he didn't remember clearly or felt inappropriate, so he just played the piano. It's debugging.

I once again lamented the high talent of this woman. In future generations, she will definitely be a superstar of an era.

Then he saw a beautifully decorated booklet on the table, and Jia Lian picked it up casually.

When I opened it, I saw that they were all recorded musical scores. Some have titles, some have no titles, and he is familiar with all the titles.

Seeing Jia Lian looking down at her, Gu Qingyi looked a little shy and whispered: "Many of the tunes that Mr. Hou sang in the past were very novel and beautiful to the slave family, so they boldly followed the fingering method of playing the piano. , compile it into music for the piano, and hope that the Lord will forgive the crime of disrespecting the slave family."

"What crime is there."

Jia Lian smiled slightly, closed the book, Anyway, he only recognized it but could not understand the pitch and length of the syllables represented by each symbol.

I always feel that although this type of written notation is more scientific and accurate than the written notation in ancient times, it still has a long way to go in terms of the convenience of recording music compared to the five-line notation of later generations.

However, he had never systematically studied music notation in his previous life. Otherwise, if he taught this method to this girl, it would definitely help her reach a new level in music creation.

“The reason why I have brought you into my residence is not only to teach the twelve little opera singers music, but also to give you a place to stay and study piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Reason.

So, if these piano music you composed can be accepted by the world, it will not only make you and me famous for future generations, but also promote our Chinese entertainment culture and enrich the core of the spiritual world of our people, what fun? Why not?"

Although Jia Lian's words sounded strange, Gu Qingyi finally heard that Jia Lian was not angry because she secretly recorded her works, but was supportive, and she couldn't help but feel Get active.

"The realm of the Marquis is beyond the reach of the slave family. However, many slaves did not remember the tunes that the Marquis sang in front of the slave sisters very clearly, so they did not write the music score. At that time, there were many places where the slave family could only rely on their own shallow attainments and apply mechanically.

If the Marquis has leisure, could he allow the slave family to ask for advice in person..."
< br />It has been almost a year since Gu Qingyi and other women entered the mansion, but in fact she has not been able to see Jia Lian that many times. Most of the time, I was called to perform, and Sister Feng and other hostesses were present, so she naturally would not overstep.

She has had this idea in her mind for a long time, but she has never found a suitable opportunity. Please ask Jia Lian to condescend to demonstrate it to her again, so that she will be able to make these unique to the current generation, and she feels that they will be able to be passed down to future generations. The repertoire is all well compiled.

For her, this matter meantIt was of great significance, so after she finished speaking, she looked at Jia Lian sincerely and expectantly.

Jia Lian looked down at the beauty in front of him, but did not answer her words. Instead, he glanced in the direction of the curtain behind her, then stepped forward to the wooden chair where she was sitting, and looked into her beautiful eyes. Under his gaze, he bent down and picked him up from the chair.

There is no doubt about the beauty of Gu Qingyi. If Daiyu is the beauty of being elegant and graceful, Baochai is the beauty of the country's regular beauty, Qin Keqing is the beauty of all kinds of amorous feelings that make men feel lustful when they see it, then Gu Qingyi is the kind of beauty that is so radiant that it makes people lust after her. People will feel ashamed of their beauty as soon as they see it.

She and Miaoyu are the same type of stunning beauties.

Perhaps due to her background and experience, she understands and can show her own beauty better than Miaoyu.

If these four beauties were not so charming, Jia Lian would not risk leaving a lustful impression on Daiyu and other women and bring them back to the capital.

And Gu Qingyi is undoubtedly the most beautiful and talented woman among these four beauties.

The reason why he left them alone before was not because he did not dare, but because he was surrounded by beautiful women and he was not in a hurry to show his impatience.

Today, he came here for fun and was moved by the beauty of this woman, so Jia Lian stopped pretending to be Liu Xiahui.

Because he picked up the beauty’s delicate body, he walked inside. He had just seen that there happened to be a bed inside.

Gu Qingyi obviously did not expect Jia Lian's sudden move. After being startled, she realized that she had fallen firmly into Jia Lian's arms.

Feeling the strong and powerful arms holding her waist and legs, and the unique smell of men coming from the tip of her mouth and nose, Gu Qingyi suddenly panicked and couldn't help but struggle.

"Master Hou..."

Jia Lian stopped and looked down at her: "Are you unwilling?"

Gu Qingyi was stunned and struggled. His movements stopped immediately.

If she didn’t want to, she would not have stood on a small boat dressed in cold clothes and played a flute on the Qinhuai River that day, just to win the favor of the people in front of her.

If she didn’t want to, she wouldn’t be able to compete with all the beauties in Yangzhou and win the qualification to be taken away by the person in front of her.

If she didn’t want to, she wouldn’t spend her best years and be willing to be a geisha who could come and go when called upon in the Hou Mengong’s mansion...

Even if you are willing, you will inevitably be unwilling to do so.

But she knew deeply that Jia Lian was by no means comparable to the previous dignitaries who were hypocritical and coy.

This point,It can be seen from the fact that he has been with him for so long, but he can take him lightly, put him aside and ignore him.

She has full self-confidence. If it were any other dignitary in the world, as long as she entered the house, she would lose her innocence within a few days.

Therefore, the methods used to deal with other people probably have no meaning when used on Jia Lian.

Because, the opportunity given to her by the other party may only be this one.

With my own status, I am not qualified to bargain with the other party. It is better to mention everything after becoming the other person's woman.

Thousands of thoughts were running through my mind, but my body had softened.

Shaking his head, he met Jia Lian’s gaze and said in a sweet voice: “Please, Lord Marquis, have mercy on me...”

A simple plea in a sweet voice, listen here In Jia Lian's ears, it felt as if his heartstrings had been plucked.

I weighed my arms and felt that the beauty in my arms was as light as a swallow, and I was holding her like a beautiful jade. Jia Lian's mind, which he thought he had long been trained to be calm in the presence of beauty, began to ripple again.

This was an uncontrollable reaction brought to him by the beauty’s absolute beauty.

There were similar reactions before, when Qin Keqing and Miaoyu dedicated themselves to him.

His feet were anxious and he was about to speed up to walk inside. The voice of a panting maid echoed outside.

"Second Master, Second Master, the old lady has sent people everywhere to look for you. Grandma heard that you were here and ordered me to send a message..."

With The thump of embroidered shoes on the wooden floor was heard, and a silver butterfly appeared at the window.

When Yindie saw Jia Lian through the window, she was initially surprised, but then she stopped and showed hesitation.

After a moment of hesitation, she retracted her head, turned around and hid quietly where Jia Lian couldn't see her, and then hurriedly patted her bouncing breasts.

It’s terrible, it’s terrible, it seems to have ruined Er Ye’s good deeds!

Alas, originally there was little hope, but now I don’t know how many years and months I have to wait for my aunt’s big plan...

If I had known earlier, I shouldn’t have snatched it Here comes this errand.

In the attic, Jia Lian paused and frowned, holding the stunning beauty in his arms.

Although he is not eager to eat Gu Qingyi, it does not mean that he is willing to be interrupted when he decides to take action.

I believe that no man would like it.

　He deliberately ignored Yindie, and believed that he would not dare to continue to say anything to disturb his interest.

But if Jia Mu summoned her, it would be fine if she didn’t receive the order. Now that she knew it, she didn’t go and spread the word...

It wasn’t that she was afraid that Jia Mu would be unhappy. Today, he is no longer the grandson who feared Jia Mu like a tiger.

He just felt that if he ignored Jia Mu's summons in order to favor the beauty, and if it reached the ears of Daiyu and others, they would inevitably despise him.

After all, his character has always been that of a very filial and good son and grandson, and he has great respect for his elders such as Jia Mu.

Perhaps seeing Jia Lian's hesitation, Gu Qingyi smiled and said, "The old lady is in a hurry to see the Marquis. There must be something important. The Marquis should go quickly, and don't do it for the slave family. , which delayed the important matter."

Jia Lian glanced at her and couldn't tell whether she was lucky or regretful, but he made a decision and let her go.

Gu Qingyi changed roles very quickly. Not only did her face look normal, but she also came forward very considerately, gently adjusted Jia Lian's collar, and then signaled with her eyes that Jia Lian could leave. .

Jia Lian felt in his heart that despite the fact that this lady was usually quiet, she was the most scheming among the four girls.

But just as he likes Xue Baochai, he is not worried about scheming women.

A simple woman has the cuteness of a simple woman, and a woman with a blue heart also has her own charm. As long as she doesn't harm anyone, she is a good woman.

So he raised his hand and touched his smooth face, and whispered softly: "Wait, I will come to see you again at night."

In one sentence, Gu Qingyi just relaxed Her heart suddenly tightened.

Just before she could react, the person in front of her had already walked out of the attic, leaving her alone standing there, not knowing whether she was happy or worried.
