Three Variations on Plum Blossoms is one of the ten most famous pieces of music in ancient China. It is extremely difficult to perform, let alone make changes to it.
Zhao Zhixu originally thought that this was just a simple exchange of music with Qin Yi, but he didn't expect to hear such an exquisite performance.
"Legend has it that this was a flute piece composed by Heng Yi of the Jin Dynasty. It was later adapted by the people and became a guqin piece. It was first recorded in the Shen Qi Mi Pu (Shen Qi Mi Pu) in 1425 AD. The popular music known as the Plum Blossom Three Variations originated from this music."
"And the Plum Blossom Trilogy I have in my hand is the original piece of music by Heng Yi from the early Jin Dynasty. What you just heard is the version I modified."
Qin Yi said slowly that the changes of dynasties in the secular world could not preserve some classic works, but the major secluded mountain gates and families would not be affected by the changes of dynasties, and the things they preserved could basically be passed down.
Their sect has been passed down from ancient times to the present day. Han Qingxuan is the head of this sect. The reason why Han Qingxuan has so many books is because of the accumulation of the sect's predecessors.
However, Qin Yi still doesn't know what his sect is called. Every time he asks Han Qingxuan, Han Qingxuan keeps silent, as if it involves some huge secret.
"What did you say? You have the original music score of Jin Hengyi? Was the piece you just played the version you modified?"
Zhao Zhixu was completely shocked. Jin State was nearly 2,000 years away from now, and Qin Yi actually had the original version of Hengyi's music?
What shocked her even more was that Qin Yi was able to make changes to this famous song, and the effect of his changes was many times better than the modern Plum Blossom Three!
Zhao Zhixu couldn't help but think: Qin Yi has such good flute skills, his knowledge of music must be very profound, plus the original version of Plum Blossom Three Variations is very exquisite, so it's no big deal if Qin Yi makes some changes.
After all, Qin Yi is too young, and it is not easy for him to have such superb flute skills. If he also has the ability to change famous songs, wouldn't he be a monster?
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhixu couldn't help but want to watch the original version of Plum Blossom Three Variations, because the original version of Plum Blossom Three Variations would be even more exquisite and beautiful than the one Qin Yi showed!
After a moment's silence, Zhao Zhixu asked, "Can I borrow the original version of Plum Blossom Three Variations? Is it an ancient book from the Jin Dynasty, or a handwritten copy?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Wang Huizhi who copied it himself." Qin Yi said slowly. He paused and continued with an embarrassed look on his face: "The library of the master's school, except for the members of the master's school, no one is allowed to enter and read it, unless..."
"Unless what?" Zhao Zhixu asked hurriedly.
"Unless you marry me, or marry my master, and have the status of husband and wife, which is equivalent to the master's sect, you will have the qualifications to enter and inspect the library." Qin Yi continued seriously: "My master is so old, I think it is most appropriate for you to marry me."
Han Qingxuan had told him this rule more than once, because the sect's library was the sect's greatest wealth. In addition to the classics and works left by famous scholars, it also contained other secret books, such as superior martial arts and the medical skills learned by Qin Yi.
Of course, the book "Thirty-Six Strategies to Control Women" was not passed down by our predecessors. It was written by Han Qingxuan and is the result of his decades of research.
"You wish."
Zhao Zhixu responded immediately, and then her eyes couldn't help but move to Qin Yi. She became more and more curious about Qin Yi.
She didn't have the chance to see Qin Yi's medical skills last time, but this time she really witnessed Qin Yi's flute skills, and she finally understood why Zhao Tiannan praised Qin Yi so much!
Master Wuming has reached the pinnacle of painting skills, and Qin Yi has reached the pinnacle of flute playing skills. In a sense, the two are at the same level.
Maybe Qin Yi's score was slightly lower, because she was not sure about the difference between Qin Yi's revised version of Plum Blossom Three Variations and the original version.
However, it is not unfair for her to be with such a talented person.
Now that Qin Yi has finished playing, Zhao Zhixu even feels a little regretful. Why didn't he turn on the recording device just now? If Qin Yi's performance were to be spread out, it would definitely become a classic.
After a long pause, Zhao Zhixu mustered up the courage to say:
"I'm good at modern instruments like the piano, and I've also done some research on classical instruments like the guzheng, but I know very little about instruments like the flute."
"If you don't know how to play modern instruments, we can learn from each other. If your skills are better than mine, or if you have no interest in instruments like the piano, I'm willing to pay you a high salary to teach me the original version of Plum Blossom Three Variations."
Qin Yi looked at the sincere Zhao Zhixu, and then slowly said: "I know nothing about piano and other instruments. We can teach each other. As for hiring me, forget it. I am used to freedom and can't stand constraints."
For Qin Yi, Zhao Zhixu's so-called high salary probably didn't mean much money. Being a tutor for Zhao Zhixu was essentially the same as being a coach in the Public Security Bureau, so he wasn't interested.
Qin Yi had been in the mountains for a long time and was tired of playing classical instruments. Trying something new was a good choice.
He was born with amazing comprehension and learned things very quickly. This is the main reason why he wanted to study modern musical instruments. Otherwise, he would not have enough time to practice, so how could he spend time to specialize in other things?
"Hahaha, that's great! Young people should communicate with each other! Brother Qin, the Zhao family's door is always open to you. Please come often."
Zhao Tiannan laughed heartily. No one knows a daughter better than her father. He knew that Zhao Zhixu was attracted to Master Wuming not only because of his character but also because of Master Wuming's talent.
The fact that Zhao Zhixu brought it up on her own initiative also meant that she had a good impression of Qin Yi and was willing to interact with someone with Qin Yi's personality. Not only did they have a chance, but it was quite a good chance.
"This piece of music, Three Variations on Plum Blossoms, is the most amazing piece of music I have ever heard in my life. Combined with the previous..."
Zhao Tiannan paused, blinked at Qin Yi, and continued:
"Brother Qin explained the flute playing techniques to me on the spot. These are rare opportunities for ordinary people. Therefore, I will not count the penalty for breach of contract by Zhao Group to Bai Group. This is a favor you did for the Bai family, Brother Qin!"
It is truly a rare opportunity to observe the painting skills of an unknown master, and this amazing song is something that money cannot buy!
So Zhao Tiannan wanted to take this opportunity to do Qin Yi a favor, so that he could watch Qin Yi paint in the future just as a legitimate reason!
"Thank you, Brother Zhao." Qin Yi clasped his fists. Although he didn't know how much the penalty was, it must be a lot.
But he was a little depressed. His first pot of gold was given to the Bai family, and he himself didn't get a penny. After all, Bai Qiong was his wife, right?
"Qin Yi, there is a dance party tomorrow. I would like to invite you to go with me and play this piece of Plum Blossom Three Variations."
Zhao Zhixu took the initiative to invite her, but she didn't know that Zhao Tiannan had already arranged this matter for her. Even if she didn't mention it, Zhao Tiannan would have brought it up!
