"Here here!"
At this time, Wang Hao took the initiative to wave his hand.
The master of ceremonies nodded, "Please tell me."
Wang Hao chuckled and said, "It's not me who wants to say it, it's the guy next to me."
Then, Wang Hao urged Chen Qi, "Brother Chen, what are you doing standing still?
Come on quickly!"
Chen Qi was stunned, "Huh?
Didn’t you say that?”
"I know nothing about music, what do you want me to say?"
Chen Qi was speechless for a long time, and then he had to say.
"The music played by Li Xia Oiran just now has a gentle and pleasant sound, but the melody is single. If Chen's guess is correct, it should be played by Yue Pipa."
As soon as these words came out, inside the bead curtain, a pair of beautiful eyes that were originally downcast raised slightly.
Just listen to Chen Qi continue to say, "Le Pipa, also known as Yale Pipa, is a traditional musical instrument passed to Japan from the Tang Dynasty of China."
"The advantage of this instrument is that you can get a glimpse of the original sound style of the Tang Dynasty in China from its performance. The disadvantage is that it is not adapted to the past and has a poor sense of melody."
"However, in Li Xia Oiran's song just now, you can clearly feel the ups and downs of emotions in it. He must have put his sincere emotions into it. It is very attentive and worth listening to."
When everyone around him heard this, there was a sudden commotion.
"Hey, that one, what did you just say?"
"The music played by Li Xia Oiran is clearly the sound of nature. To be able to hear it is a blessing in my lifetime!"
"Yes, is it still worth listening to?
Haha, you sound like you know music very well, Li Xia Oiran's music is perfect, is it your turn to comment?"
"Where does this blind guy come from? He dares to talk nonsense here. Does he want to appear unique?"
"If you don't speak, no one will think you are mute!"
Everyone was fighting for the injustice of Li Xia Oiran.
It's no wonder that they previously praised Li Xia Oiran's music to the heavens, saying it was a "sound of nature" and "a rare thing to hear in the world", as if there was no better music in the world than this.
However, Chen Qi claimed that Li Xia Oiran's music has advantages, but it also has shortcomings?
He even used the vulgar word "worth listening to" to describe it.
Doesn’t this make them appear to be short-sighted and blindly following the trend?
However, a pleasant voice came from within the bead curtain, "Sir, you just said that there are emotional changes in my music. What kind of changes are they?"
As soon as he said these words, not only the guests present, but also the emcee on the stage were slightly surprised.
Because Li Xia courtesans have a habit of rarely speaking actively in public places like this.
Generally, if you want to say anything, you will let the master of ceremonies convey it on your behalf.
But this time she took the initiative to speak, which really surprised everyone.
Chen Qi chuckled for a moment, "The reluctance when parting, the longing after parting, then the pain of lovesickness, and finally the helplessness of accepting reality."
"Could it be that Li Xia Oiran is waiting for someone?"
Inside the bead curtain, silence fell again.
Chen Qi could not clearly see the expression on Li Xia Oiran's face at this time, but based on the music he had heard previously, Chen Qi thought he had guessed it almost exactly.
This Li Xia Oiran, after staying in [Tiben House] for so many years, must have met someone she really liked.
But the other person may have left her for some reason and never came back.
This situation is similar to that of many famous prostitutes in brothels in ancient China.
They fell in love with each other and made a vow to each other, hoping that the other person would come back from Huangbang High School to marry him.
In the end, she was ruthlessly abandoned because of her identity as a brothel girl or because the other party was looking for a new love.
This is the fate of most wandering girls, even courtesans.
Then, after obtaining the consent of Li Xia Oiran, the master of ceremonies continued with the second question.
I saw her taking out a painting and hanging it on a wooden frame for everyone to enjoy.
"This is a painting of [Sure Women Visiting the Garden]. It is an ancient painting that has been collected by Lixia Oiran for many years. It is said that it was given to us as a gift during the Kamakura Period when we, the Japanese, paid homage to the Chinese emperor."
"Lixia Oiran likes this painting very much, but because he needs some money recently, he wants to sell it, but he doesn't know how much he should sell it for."
"So, please help all the adults here to evaluate the value of this ancient painting?"
As soon as the master of ceremonies finished speaking, someone stood up and said.
"I recognize this painting! Isn't this the famous painting sold by [Sakura Auction House] five years ago?"
"It is said that this piece was made by a famous master in ancient China and has extremely high collection value!"
"I didn't expect that I would be here!"
"I remember it too!"
Another person stood up and said, "This [Picture of Pure Women Visiting the Garden], according to expert evaluation, is worth at least 500 million yen (approximately 30 million yuan), which is priceless!"
A slightly stout middle-aged man stood up and took the initiative to flatter, "Li Xia Oiran, you need money recently, right? I bought this painting, and I will pay 600 million, do you think it will work?"
"Six hundred million, you are really stingy," said a young man in a suit and leather shoes with disdain. "Since this is the treasure of Li Xia Oiran, it should have a higher value."
He waved his hand, showing his pride, "Li Xia Oiran, I will pay 800 million to buy your painting!"
“Eight hundred million is a lot?
If I pay one billion, I don’t want the painting anymore, it’s my gift to Li Xia Oiran!”
Everyone started bickering and competing with each other, and no one was willing to give in to anyone else.
Originally it was for everyone to appraise the painting, but now it has developed into an auction site?
At this moment, a sudden voice sounded.
I heard Chen Qi suddenly say, "If you ask me, this [Picture of Plain Girls Visiting the Garden] is worthless!"
As soon as these words came out, the scene immediately became quiet.
Everyone looked for a voice and saw Chen Qi holding a cup of tea, gently blowing away the residue on his face and taking a sip.
The spirit is calm and the demeanor is leisurely.
"Worthless?"
“Boy, is it possible that you don’t understand human language?
This painting has been collected by Li Xia Oiran for many years, and you actually say it is worthless?"
The middle-aged rich man sneered, "If you want to win the attention of Li Xia Oiran, why use such crude methods? It won't show how smart you are."
"This kid is obviously here to cause trouble. Someone, get him out of here!"
"My lords, please be patient."
At this time, the master of ceremonies suddenly spoke.
Then, with a smile on her face, she asked Chen Qi, "May I ask this gentleman, why do you think this [Picture of Plain Girls Visiting the Garden] is worthless?"
Chen Qi put down his tea cup and responded with a smile.
"I heard from the master of ceremonies earlier that this [Picture of Plain Girls Visiting the Garden] was obtained when the Japanese paid homage to the Chinese emperor during the Kamakura period."
"If I remember correctly, the Kamakura period corresponds to the Song Dynasty in China."
“Most of the paintings of the Song Dynasty were dominated by landscapes, supplemented by figures, but this painting of [Pure Women Visiting the Garden] by Li Xia Hua Kui goes in the opposite direction.”
The master of ceremonies turned his head and thought for a moment, "Even if it is true as this gentleman said, then it is not necessarily true that there were no people in the Song Dynasty who painted people?"
Chen Qi nodded, "Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out."
“However, the painting paper in the Song Dynasty was generally bamboo paper, which was yellow and thin and would turn black over time.
But since the painting in front of me is so old, why is it still as white as new?"
"Moreover, in this painting [Picture of Plain Girls Visiting the Garden], the handwriting of the inscription is slightly rough and not flowing. It seems like it was deliberately copied stroke by stroke."
"It can be concluded from this that the painting by Lixia Oiran is not an authentic work by a Chinese master from the Song Dynasty. It is more like someone in modern times copied it, but the technique was not skillful enough. Is it wrong to say that it is worthless?"
