Hu Wenge, Li Shengsu, and Yang Ye smiled when they saw the two old men bickering. Obviously, they often saw such situations.
At this moment, another person entered the private room. This person had a head of white hair, but he had white hair and a youthful face. He was very energetic and very handsome. Moreover, he had come alone. When Li Xuan saw the other party, he immediately went forward and bowed."Master."
Fang Jinlong, the Pipa King of the Four Kings of Chinese Music, knew more than a hundred folk instruments. He could play all kinds of instruments, and he was a master. This person was also Li Xuan's master.
When Elder Fang saw Li Xuan, he smiled and patted his shoulder."Alright, the changes in the past two years have been quite big.”In fact, the art troupe that Li Xuan was in was not very strict. Sometimes, Li Xuan would go to them. However, after all, Li Xuan had already retired, so they looked at Li Xuan differently.
Elder Mei's eldest disciple, Li Shengsu, smiled when he saw Fang Jinlong and said,"Yo, the Four Heavenly Kings are here. Why is there only one? Where are the other three?”
"Who's calling us?" As they spoke, three men walked into the private room. They were the remaining three Heavenly Kings, the Erhu Heavenly King Chen Jun, the Pan Xiao Heavenly King Du Cong, and the Guzheng Heavenly King Wang Zhongshan.
When Li Shengsu saw that the Four Heavenly Kings had all arrived, he said,""Heh, speak of the devil.”
Li Xuan once again stood up to welcome them. These people had a pivotal position and status in the field of Chinese national art. Moreover, they were very familiar with Li Xuan.
After everyone was seated, the waiter began to serve the dishes. There were a total of ten people on the table including Li Xuan, so Li Xuan made a total of nine dishes and one soup. Most of them were Beijing court dishes.
When all the dishes were served, Old Master Yang immediately picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. Then, he closed his eyes. When he opened them again, he smiled and said,"The taste is even better than before. Little Xuan, your culinary skills have improved, but the familiar taste hasn't changed. It's still the taste from two years ago.”
When the oldest person present, Old Master Yang, moved his chopsticks, the rest did not stand on ceremony. They picked up their chopsticks one after another and began to eat. At the same time, they praised Li Xuan's craftsmanship.
At this moment, Old Master Yang asked Li Xuan,"Disciple, what are your plans for the future?”When Li Xuan heard Old Master Yang call him his disciple, he put down his chopsticks. Elder Yang was already 89 years old. Due to his age, although he had a master-disciple relationship with Li Xuan, Elder Yang usually still called Li Xuan his grandson. However, if he called Li Xuan his disciple, it meant that Elder Yang was a little serious.
Li Xuan thought for a moment and said,"I haven't left the army yet. Sometimes, I even dream of being in the art troupe, so I want to give myself a year to integrate into society. After that, I might not do live broadcasts as often as before.”This was a decision that Li Xuan had thought about for a long time before making. Li Xuan's transformation did not mean that he wanted to be an actor or anything else, but that he wanted to be a real artist. This was Li Xuan's biggest dream.
In fact, Li Xuan had already begun to change his career before he joined the army, but it was not complete. At that time, although his main income was not live broadcasts and the Internet, it was still very important. Now, Li Xuan wanted to change completely. He wanted to become someone who wanted to do his best in both music and other fields.
Everyone nodded when they heard Li Xuan's words. Elder Mei and Elder Yang looked at Li Xuan with gratification. This was because Li Xuan's words clearly meant that he was going to work hard on literature and art, not just the entertainment industry.
At this moment, Old Master Yang said to Li Xuan,"Grandson, I agree with your decision. You can use this period of time to refer to more information. If possible, you can take the postgraduate entrance examination in the second half of the year.”
When Li Xuan heard Old Master Yang's words, he immediately looked at him in surprise and said,"Master, do you want me to learn painting or calligraphy? Do you think I still need it?"
Old Master Yang said," No, your painting and calligraphy are already independent. If you continue to study, it will not be good. You can choose any major for the postgraduate entrance examination because your academic qualifications have become a criticism for your current achievements and honors. After all, whether it's the role model of an idol or an artist, academic qualifications are very important. This is also your current weakness.”
Li Xuan fell silent after hearing Elder Yang's words. Indeed, he was not short of money now. He had his own website and even his own dance troupe, but he did not have any education. His current education was only in junior high school.
Li Xuan thought that if his family knew that he was taking the postgraduate entrance examination, they would definitely be very happy, especially his father. Li Xuan still remembered that when he dropped out of school, his father sat on a bench in the courtyard and sighed for an entire night.
Li Xuan said to Old Master Yang,"Master, I'll do as you said. I'll start my postgraduate entrance examination next year. I just have to trouble you to find some information for me."”Li Xuan knew that it was very easy for Old Master Yang to find the materials for the postgraduate entrance examination for him. After all, Old Master Yang's identity was there. However, Li Xuan knew that Old Master Yang could only do so much. As for all the procedures for the postgraduate entrance examination, Li Xuan had to do it step by step.
"Apprentice, have you thought about what major you want to take?" Old Master Yang nodded and asked.”Li Xuan immediately nodded and said,"I want to take the History Department." The Department of Archeology and the Department of Chinese." Li Xuan was most interested in history and liberal arts, so all of them were liberal arts majors.
Old Master Yang nodded and thought for a moment before saying,"Grandson, let me give you a suggestion. If you want to get into the archaeology department, don't rely on the history department. Because these two subjects have a lot of similarities. The foundation of archaeology is history, so these two subjects are a little overlapping.”
Li Xuan thought for a moment and said,"Then let's choose the Department of Archeology and the Department of Chinese." Old Master Yang nodded and said,"Alright, I'll leave it to Master."”
Li Xuan then asked Old Master Yang's son, Yang Ye,"Brother Yang, I'm going to repair my courtyard house. Is your construction team free now?”
As soon as Li Xuan finished speaking, he attracted everyone's attention. This was because they all knew that Li Xuan's courtyard house could be said to be very imposing. It was completely like a big house. If it was repaired, it would definitely become famous in Beijing.
Yang Ye said to Li Xuan,"Have you thought it through?”Li Xuan nodded. The reason why Li Xuan asked him was because Yang Ye specialized in the restoration of ancient buildings and all ancient and modern buildings, so it was very suitable to find him. Moreover, Li Xuan had once asked Yang Ye to evaluate his courtyard house.
Yang Ye thought for a moment and then said," Little Xuan, I've sent people to inspect your courtyard house before. It can be said that it's no longer habitable. It has become a completely dilapidated house. If you want to restore it, you can only push it back to reconstruction."”
Li Xuan nodded. Clearly, he had already known this outcome. Yang Ye continued,"Because your courtyard house was a junwang fu during the Qing Dynasty, the files and design drawings of the courtyard house are still in the National Library. This can be solved. We can completely copy it according to its original appearance, but the price is a little high.”
In 2008, Yang Ye had already told Li Xuan how much it would cost to rebuild the courtyard house. Now that a few years had passed, it would definitely be even more expensive.
"How much?" Li Xuan asked.
"It's at least 80 million now."”After Yang Ye finished speaking, everyone present immediately sucked in a breath of cold air. Li Xuan was the same. What surprised Li Xuan was that in just three years, just the restoration and reconstruction alone was already worth the money he had spent to buy the entire courtyard house.
Li Xuan thought for a moment and said,"Alright, 80 million it is. If it's not enough, we'll talk about it. How long will it take to complete the project?”
"With the size of your courtyard house, it will take about half a year."”
Li Xuan nodded and said,"Alright, then Brother Yang, gather the team as soon as possible and start. As for where to focus on the transformation, send me the blueprints and I'll tell you."”Yang Ye nodded." Alright, don't worry. I won't take a single cent from you. I'll also restore your courtyard house to its original state."”
When the matter of the courtyard house was over, Li Xuan said to Fang Jinlong and the others,"Master, I have another thing to do this time. I want to expand the music academy and add more majors. Of course, most of them are ethnic music and instruments.”
When Fang Jinlong heard Li Xuan's words, he asked in surprise,"Little Xuan, have you decided?"
In 2007, Li Xuan bought an acre of empty land near the Ancient Pagoda Park in Chaoyang District, Beijing's Fifth Ring Road. Later, he established a music academy called the Blazing Sun Music Academy. Blazing was Li Xuan's character. Li Xuan's surname was Li Xuan, and his given name was Blazing Sun.
However, whether it was back then or now, the Blazing Music Academy was still only a comprehensive class. It was far from being a college. It was just that Li Xuan was more far-sighted at that time, so he directly registered a private academy trademark of the Blazing Music Academy in the Industry and Commerce Bureau. Later, in 2008, Li Xuan bought two acres of land next to the Blazing Sun Music Academy. A total of three acres of land should be enough to build a music academy.
At present, most of the students in this academy were learning western musical instruments, such as piano, violin, cello, drums, sax, and so on. There were also some Chinese folk musical instruments that everyone was familiar with. Now, Li Xuan wanted to slowly transform the Blazing Music Academy into Chinese folk music.
Li Xuan said to the four heavenly kings,"I want Master and the three uncles to set up a subject for their folk instruments at the Blazing Sun Music Academy. Then, we'll recruit students for them to learn. Then, I'll use the Internet or other channels to spread the reputation of the academy." Moreover, the academy had another important goal, which was to restore those lost musical instruments and carry them forward.”
When Fang Jinlong heard Li Xuan's words, he immediately said,"I agree, but on one condition. I want to set up a five-stringed pipa course at Blazing Sun's place.”The pipa of the Chinese Dynasty was four-stringed. The five-stringed pipa was introduced to the Chinese Dynasty through the Silk Road during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. It flourished in the Tang Dynasty and was lost in the Song Dynasty.
Later, because Fang Jinlong often went abroad to perform, during a trip to Japan, he saw a national treasure of Japan in a Japanese museum. It was a gift from the Tang Dynasty to a Japanese chieftain. It was a five-stringed pipa. After Fang Jinlong saw it, he immediately said a very famous sentence,"It turns out that we modern people have one less string than the ancients."”After that, Fang Jinlong had been working hard to restore the five-stringed pipa, so he attached great importance to it. This was because in the current China, the only people who could play the five-stringed pipa were Fang Jinlong and Li Xuan.
When Li Xuan heard Fang Jinlong's words, he immediately said,"Master, not only the five-stringed pipa, but all the instruments you know will be added. I won't stop until I squeeze you dry.”Everyone laughed when they heard Li Xuan's words.
Li Xuan then looked at the remaining three Heavenly Kings and found that they were a little conflicted.
