Because Lu Ying'er said she wanted to play the piano, the group moved to another ear room that was used as a piano room.
After washing her hands, burning incense and changing clothes, Lu Ying'er knelt down in front of the guqin with a solemn face, raised her arms wrapped in narrow sleeves, and played the qin with Qianqian Su's hands. The light, deep and deep guqin music sounded at her fingertips, with an unparalleled tone and superb skills.
It can be heard that Lu Ying'er has worked hard on the guqin. Such a level cannot be achieved overnight. She is much better than the girl from the music school who was Lin Wanwan's teacher in college, and Lin Wanwan is even worse.
Although she is not as good at playing the guqin as she is, she can still listen to it. Lu Ying'er's guqin gives people a sense of déjà vu with her skills. It is the level where a layman would say "Wow, that's amazing" and then walk away laughing.
, cannot move people's hearts.
Simply put, it has no soul.
The harp player is the heart.
Playing the piano is not to entertain others, but to cultivate oneself and respect others, and to communicate with heaven and earth, nature, and close friends.
From this point of view, Lu Ying'er's level is that of an outstanding graduate from a music school. Although she is professional, she is far from "everyone" and is even more different from Xiao Chong's piano skills.
After the song ended, Lin Wanwan had a pale look on her face, and the other noble ladies all praised her. It was hard to say whether they were sincere or not. After all, she is the daughter of the county magistrate. Among the young ladies attending the banquet today, there is no one with a higher official status.
She is tall.
Lu Ying'er looked at Xiao Chong and said in surprise: "Cousin Zifang, do you think my piano skills have improved compared to last time?"
Xiao Chong said calmly: "Well, it's slightly better, but I still need more hard work."
Brother! You are too honest. You say it so bluntly, which makes people unable to get off the stage!
Lin Wanwan raised her lips in a funny way. She thought Xiao Chong would be polite, but she didn't expect him to tell such a truth. But for some reason, she was still very happy. You must know that every time he listens to her playing the piano,
They all had the same half-smiling expressions, as if they could just say, "You're too good at your level."
Fortunately, she never asked the other party's opinion, nor did she need the other party's comments, unlike Lu Ying'er, who had to ask him.
Although Lu Ying'er's level is higher than his own, it is only in terms of skill. It would be too hypocritical for Xiao Chong to praise Lu Ying'er's playing skills like others.
Lu Ying'er's face fell, she pouted, and said coquettishly: "Compared to cousin Zifang, you are naturally far behind. I will practice hard and never slack off."
Xiao Chong smiled and said nothing, and his emotions could not be seen from his expression at all.
At this time, Mrs. Lu came over, first praised her daughter, and then said to Xiao Chong: "Zifang, you are the most powerful in Qindao, but you need to give more guidance to your cousin."
Xiao Chong saluted and said with a slight smile: "My aunt, forgive me, but my cousin has hired a famous teacher, so it's not my turn to show off."
Mrs. Lu sighed and said: "That lady has gone home now and will not come back until after the Lantern Festival. No one is around to guide her these days. Fortunately, Ying'er is talented, diligent and studious, and is good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting.
Don’t dare to waste a moment.”
Xiao Chong didn't answer. Xiao Jingkun beside him had already taken over and praised him.
Lin Wanwan was watching her cousin's rich vocabulary of horse-playing, when suddenly Lu Ying'er called out: "Aunt Lin, please play a song for everyone. I heard that you studied with a hermit in the mountains when you were young, so you must be very proficient in these things, so she
Let us open our eyes. I have heard that those celebrities who live in seclusion are all very capable, and I think Master Ling must also be such a person."
Lin Wanwan didn't expect that the fire would reach her. She was slightly startled, but she quickly reacted.
Isn't it just a public performance? What's the big deal? Coy and coquettish is not her style. She is a person who stands on the exhibition stage and has no shyness in front of as many strangers as cabbage heads below. Is she still afraid of this?
What's more, since she got the Jiaowei Qin made by Cai Yong as a gift from Xiao Chong, she would strum the strings every day to entertain herself, and immediately smiled calmly and said: "Okay, no problem."
Then a maid led her to wash her hands and burn incense, change out of her wide robe and long-sleeved coat, and put on the narrow-sleeved Hanfu that Yunshang gave her to carry with her. In ancient times, noble ladies had many rules, and they had to bring a lot of things with them when going out, including a change of clothes.
Nature is one of them.
Lin Wanwan would not usually prepare these things. Today, because she was attending a gathering of celebrities from the Tang Dynasty, she followed Yun Shang's suggestion and allowed him to bring two sets of clothes for herself and Xiao Qingyu. She didn't expect that they would actually be used.
Xiao Qingyu, who had always been with her, raised her little head and shouted: "Mom, can I play? I want to play too, and I also want to change my clothes."
Lin Wanwan gently lifted her chin and said with a smile: "How about you listen to mother play first, and then mother will listen to you when you get home?"
Xiao Yuer blinked her eyes and said, "Okay."
After changing clothes, Lin Wanwan thought for a moment and decided to find a new way and not play famous guqin songs. Playing famous guqin songs at her level, among a bunch of ladies who have been practicing guqin hard since they were young, would be just a trick. She might as well play and sing.
Let's play the song "Swordsman" by Master Huang.
It is unique and charming, does not require high skills, and is absolutely novel.
Since it's not stable, then look for surprises.
After playing the prelude of Happy Gratitude and Effort, Lin Wanwan opened her voice:
"The sea is smiling, the tide is rolling across the Taiwan Strait
Ups and Downs, Follow the Waves to Remember the Present Day
The sky is smiling and the world is full of tides
God knows who will lose and who will win.
The country is smiling and the rain is far away
How much do you know in the world of mortals?
The breeze's laughter actually causes loneliness
There is still a night photo left of pride
The common people laugh no longer lonely
The pride is still smiling foolishly.”
She doesn't have many skills, and her overtones are not up to standard, but Lin Wanwan gives the impression that she is stretched, confident, domineering, majestic and thorough, and she has captured the essence of freedom and ease, flowing freely.
Everyone who was still whispering to each other gradually became quiet, and only the deep voice of the guqin and Lin Wanwan's clear voice were left in the air, never to return.
After the song ended, everyone felt unable to comment. Only Xiao Chong's eyes, which had been sleepy all day, suddenly lit up.
Mrs. Lu paused for a moment before commenting: "What kind of music is this? There is no doubt that it is indeed good to listen to, but it is too simple. The melody always repeats 'Gong, Shang, Jiao, Zheng, Yu', which is a little bit
Xun Wen Cai. Zifang, what do you think?"
Xiao Chong was called by name and said casually: "Well, great happiness must be easy, and the great way is simple. The simpler it is, the more it can impress people. Minimalism is extremely beautiful, wonderful and wonderful."
Lu Ying'er said unhappily: "But there is no skill at all, and I can't even play the overtones well."
Xiao Chong laughed heartily a few times and did not refute. His star-like eyes were full of smiles, giving people the feeling of "Why are you so stupid? I am too lazy to argue with you, a summer insect cannot talk about ice".
