0232 Tribute
Driven by curiosity, Jiang Guanyu still activated the Qi Watching Technique.
Name: Paulie.
Gender: Female
Age:17
Strength: half-step martial artist
Identity: The daughter of the Bao family, one of the seven powerful families.
Jiang Guanyu was completely stunned. He didn't expect that the person playing the piano music was actually Bao Li.
But what surprised him even more was that Baoli turned out to be a rich man.
This made his mind go blank and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
After a long time, he vaguely understood why Paulie refused to be his girlfriend in the first place.
It turns out that she is the daughter of a wealthy family, so how could she marry a poor boy from a mountain village like herself?
Although it is said that generals are useless, men should strengthen themselves.
But he knew very well in his heart that this world was far more hierarchical than the Chinese social class.
What is a gate valve?
They are a distinguished family that has been officials for generations.
It is a wealthy family that has been passed down for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Some powerful clans can even influence a country's political affairs and economy.
Such a super aristocratic family has deep-rooted family views.
Without the accumulation of years and the hard work of several generations, there is no way to be called a famous family.
In other words, even if he can become the world's richest man as quickly as possible, in the eyes of the wealthy, he is just an upstart without any background.
If they are not in the right family, even if they are forced to be together, they will not be happy.
Jiang Guanyu's inner shock and frustration made his face turn pale instantly.
He has never been a person who gives up when faced with difficulties, but the huge gap in status between them made him feel timid for the first time in his life.
"What kind of musical instrument is this? How can it be so melodious and beautiful?"
Jiang Xia listened to the beautiful piano sound intoxicated, and asked in a low voice with a curious face.
"piano."
Jiang Guanyu replied casually.
His demeanor has returned to normal.
Despite having to reconsider his relationship with Paulie.
But after all, as two people in two lifetimes, their state of mind is far from comparable to that of ordinary people.
Unexpectedly, his answer was heard by Nangong Yu.
She glanced at him in surprise, with a hint of interest in her eyes.
You know, the piano is not a product of this country, but comes from the distant Western Continent.
That is to say, only some prominent families with superb skills are willing to spend a lot of money to buy such elegant Western musical instruments.
But he didn't expect that in a desolate and remote place like Lanling Mansion, there would be people who knew the piano.
This made him feel a little curious about Jiang Guanyu's identity.
The higher you stand, the further you can see.
Everyone knows that the Seven Gates have already stood at the top of the pyramid.
But only the children of a big family like Nangong Yu know that there are people outside the world, and there is a heaven outside the world.
There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this world, and some ancient families that have been passed down for a long time, even the Seven Gates do not dare to easily provoke them.
You must know that the Seven Gates are just aristocratic families that have been inherited for hundreds of years. In the eyes of some ancient aristocratic families with a longer inheritance, they are just a nouveau riche who has succeeded in speculation.
Therefore, Nangong Yu did not dare to underestimate Jiang Guanyu, who had extraordinary bearing, and wondered whether he came from one of those ancient reclusive families.
Otherwise, why would you know a piano that only wealthy families have access to?
"Piano? What a weird name. Is it a piano made of steel?"
Jiang Xia looked like she was curious about the baby, and what she said was very childish, which made Nangong Yu, who was eavesdropping with his ears bent, burst into laughter.
Jiang Guanyu forced himself not to think about Baoli and patiently explained to her to distract his attention: "No, piano is just the name of Daxia people. Its original name should be pianoforte, which means weak and strong."
"Because this instrument can produce both weak and strong sounds, it has such a very vivid name. Later, perhaps for the convenience of naming, people omitted the forte for strong sounds and only retained the weak sounds.
piano, and it is still used today."
"In order to sell this instrument to Daxia, Westerners lied about it being made of steel, and the Chinese called it a piano."
"The piano is a keyboard instrument in Western classical music. It is known as the "King of Instruments". It consists of 88 keys and a metal string soundboard, including 52 white keys and 36 black keys..."
As he talked, Jiang Xia looked at him with admiration, not hiding the admiration in her beautiful eyes.
Nangong Yu, who was eavesdropping on the side, was also shocked and became more and more certain that this young man must be from the hidden ancient master.
Otherwise, why would I be so familiar with a Western Continental instrument like the piano?
Moreover, he actually understands the common language of the Western Continent - Romon language.
You know, even for a wealthy family like them, it is very difficult to go to the Western Continent.
As for the reason, it is very simple. Canglan Continent is so big that there is no direct route between the continents.
In other words, if you want to fly from the Eastern Continent to the Western Continent, you must transfer in the Central Continent.
The Central Continent is the territory of the Canglan Continent Martial Arts Alliance headquarters.
Even if a leader of a country wants to visit other continents, he must obtain approval from the Martial Arts Alliance headquarters in advance.
Therefore, even for the owners of the Seven Gates, it is not that easy to go to other continents.
Only those hidden ancient clans with profound heritage and inheritance for thousands of years have the face to allow their children to travel to other continents at will.
In fact, what Jiang Guanyu is telling is the history of pianos on Blue Star.
Whether it was the same in this world, he wasn't sure.
But he just wanted to say something to distract himself at the moment, and he didn't think about it at all.
Anyway, there is no place in Jiangxia to conduct research, so they can just cheat.
Unexpectedly, a sentence he said in English unintentionally made Nangong Yu think about it, and he became more and more sure that he was a member of the hidden ancient tribe.
Just as Jiang Guanyu and Jiang Xia were whispering to each other, they suddenly felt a chill running down their spines and shuddered uncontrollably.
Subconsciously he looked up and found Paulie on the stage staring at him fiercely.
This made him feel guilty, and he sat up straight as a reflex, widening the distance between him and Jiang Xia.
Only then did Baoli retract her gaze with satisfaction, her singing voice spread out, and her beautiful singing voice instantly echoed throughout the entire scene.
"Life is too short, but the nights are so long. The wind brings the sorrow of longing..."
Jiang Guanyu stared blankly at Bao Li, who was playing the piano and singing softly. He didn't expect that not only did she play the piano well, but she also had such a beautiful singing voice.
Everyone present listened in ecstasy, as if a loved one was whispering their inner longings and attachments in their ears, but in the end they had to be separated from their loved one due to the pressure of reality, feeling helpless and sad.
This is an extremely sad love song called "The Night Is So Long". The lyrics are pathos and touching, expressing the sorrow of a pair of lovers who are deeply in love but cannot love each other.
Until the end of the song, when Paulie stood up and bowed slightly to leave the stage, the audience was still silent, and everyone was immersed in the sad melody.
It wasn't until half a minute later that someone finally woke up and realized that tears were already streaming down their faces.
Then, they clapped vigorously.
The sparse applause soon woke up more people.
Immediately, the audience burst into applause.
Countless people couldn't help but stand up, clap their hands desperately, and pay tribute to the performer!
Chapter completed!
