Being in the public eye is normal for her. When she was selected as the chief among the flowers in Jiangling City, she shocked everyone with her song. The scene was much bigger than this one.
It was my first time to perform for a king, so I was a little nervous.
And... this is too crude.
Someone brought her a short table, which can barely be regarded as a piano table, but it is not suitable. Because of her height, she used to play on a specific piano table. The short table used by ordinary people is not suitable for her.
It's a bit high, so you have to raise your arms when playing, which is very laborious.
Especially since the emperor always sat on the floor, she couldn't be too particular about it. She could only sit down on the ground, which hurt her.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her. The little girl was sitting in a group by the table. She looked handsome and had lively eyebrows. She was neither shy nor strong.
Just sitting calmly on the ground, she showed a bit of elegance and calmness. When most people saw her, they said in their hearts that she was worthy of being a famous prostitute in the south of the Yangtze River with such grace.
Ma Zhou looked at this scene with some confusion, wondering why the emperor brought a famous prostitute with him when he was traveling? A chance encounter? How come I have never encountered such a good thing?
Play a song here...
If word gets out, wouldn't the reputation of Chang'an Maritime Academy be linked to that of a prostitute? What the hell is that?
Thinking of this, he felt very unhappy in his heart. He didn't dare to say anything even though he spoke softly. The emperor was lustful and didn't care about the importance? If these words were spoken, he probably wouldn't need his head.
………………
Lu Xiangjun fiddled with the strings a few times, mainly tightening the strings. Playing the piano does not entertain everyone. This is the basic common sense of a violinist.
Because the sound of the qin should be transmitted in a quiet room, in the days when there were no microphones or amplifiers, the Yao qin was subject to great limitations.
Therefore, in such an open place with many people and clutter, the strings need to be tightened to make the sound stronger, and the piano player must exert more effort.
In fact, before playing, Lu Xiangjun was already complaining secretly. It seems that at least his hands are going to suffer today. His arms will be sore for a few days after he goes back. He was also caught in the rain before, so he must not get sick.
…
At the same time, she also had to work hard to calm down her state of mind. Musicians usually have to bathe and change clothes when playing the piano. What's more, they have to burn incense to comfort the world. In fact, it is not about the form, but to eliminate distracting thoughts in the process, be sincere and upright, and stay focused.
.
Just like Buddhists practicing meditation, they have to knock wooden fish, play with Buddha beads, and recite Buddhist scriptures. In fact, they need to borrow foreign objects to exclude money, beauty, and beauty from their minds.
………………
Lu Xiangjun is an expert in this regard. As he continued to play with the strings, he quickly put aside his distracting thoughts and his eyes gradually became clear and focused.
No matter what she had thought before, in front of someone who could write a poem like the Sapphire Case, especially if the person was a noble person, she had to be extremely energetic to deal with it.
………………
"What kind of music does the Supreme want to listen to? Is it to welcome guests or to praise feelings, is it to be aspirational or to express emotions?"
Obviously she made an exception again. Since she became famous, she has not asked anyone to ask for any music. She can play whatever music she likes. This is the prerogative of a famous prostitute.
But today's situation was special, and she had no idea, so she shamefully turned into the music seller again, playing whatever the customers ordered.
Li Po was unaware of this, and would not feel honored even if he knew about it. He knew nothing about qin music, and only knew a little about the titles of "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" and "Feng Qiuhuang".
The high mountains and flowing water are for meeting a close friend, and the phoenix and the phoenix are for seeking a mate. They don't seem to be suitable, and I don't know if they have been lost in the world.
Fortunately, he was already used to this situation. He said trouble in his heart, looked around, and then said to Yan Shigu: "You are knowledgeable and talented. What piece of music do you think is appropriate to play today?"
Yan Shigu blinked his eyes and answered brilliantly, "Since we met by chance on the road, why not just play the song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters".
Everyone nodded secretly, looking at the flattery and calmness of this person, and then looking at this Yun Shangshu, there is no comparison.
Li Po secretly cursed, "Fuck you, you look so sanctimonious on weekdays, but you turn out to be a flatterer, and you're also blind. How could you tell that I regarded this little girl as a close friend?"
In fact, entertaining the king is also one of the responsibilities of the ministers. The emperor's lust is nothing, as long as it does not delay the official business, the ministers will be happy to see it happen.
High mountains and flowing water... Boya meets Ziqi, a famous ancient song. When friends meet, this song is often played to express the joy of getting together.
Lu Xiangjun has played "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" countless times, so he knows that the music is hard to find.
When she wanted to fool herself, she would play the music "High Mountains and Flowing Waters". Someone would pretend to shout a few times while she was playing, "It's as tall as Mount Tai, and as vast as a river."
Very upsetting.
In fact, she is not Boya, and those people will not become Zhong Ziqi.
From the perspective of luthiers like them, some music will cease to sound as soon as it is played. No matter how imitated by future generations, they will not be in the same state of mind as the person involved. It is just a matter of appearance.
Thinking of this, she sneered in her heart. The person who could suggest this song was just a layperson... Well, luckily it wasn't Guangling San...
At this time, Li Po nodded helplessly, "Then let's go to the high mountains and flowing water." As usual, he muttered in his heart. Actually, I want to listen to Guangling San more. I don't know if Ji Kang has become the most famous one.
From this point of view, it can really be said that there is a clear understanding...
So everyone sat upright and pretended to listen to the loud music. Not to mention that except for Li Po, the people here knew nothing about it. Even if the others were not very familiar with it, they could at least hear the quality of the music.
.
People like Yan Shigu, Wei Zheng, and Yao Qian were able to entertain themselves, but Ma Zhou was a little worse. He was from a wild family and had no conditions in his early years, but he didn't know anything about it.
"Then I'll play a song called "High Mountains and Flowing Waters", and I'll ask you for your grace and integrity."
………………
Lu Xiangjun lowered his head and closed his eyes, imagining the gloomy mountains and the roaring rivers. These are just appearances. The meaning is that the moment a close friend met, it became an eternal legend. The free and easy and sincerity of the ancients are all contained in the mountains and rivers.
.
If you can't play these emotions and arouse the feelings of others, then you can't be called everyone.
This is a piece that Lu Xiangjun is familiar with, but it takes some time to mobilize her emotions, so her hand rests on the strings and does not move for a long time.
But no one in the room urged her. As soon as this gesture caught the eye of the Fang family, they knew that a big dinner would be served later, and those who urged her were ignorant and stupid, and they were not qualified to sit together with others.
