Of course, if you don't understand why Gu Qiancheng would talk so much about the six skills of a gentleman, Gu Qiancheng has never thought about humiliating herself or using her as a stepping stone for the Cheng family to step on her.
Following the guide's instructions, Gu Qiancheng and Cheng Sangong stepped forward at the same time, recreating the complex ancient rituals one by one with solemn and solemn gestures. Following every move of Gu Qiancheng and Cheng Sangong, everyone present unconsciously
He adjusted his breathing and calmed his mind, as if he had been transported into the long river of history by the actions of the two of them...
The ancient rituals are complicated. Except for some children of big families, many people only know how to attend guests and give gifts. Seeing Cheng Sangong and Gu Qiancheng execute the complicated sets of auspicious rituals to perfection, everyone who came again had a look on their face.
Stunning.
Everyone could understand that Cheng Sangong had practiced auspicious rituals, but seeing that Gu Qiancheng could also do it flawlessly, everyone present except Gu Cheng, who thought Gu Qiancheng was incompetent, looked puzzled.
Ordinarily, for a family like the Gu family, which has only three generations of inheritance, even Mr. Gu may not necessarily know the auspicious etiquette. Who did Gu Qiancheng learn it from?
Everyone present wanted to ask this question, but this occasion was not a good time to ask, otherwise it would make the Gu family think that they looked down on the Gu family.
Mr. Gu was the first to come back to his senses. He glanced thoughtfully at everyone present, lowered his eyes, and drooped his eyelids to hide the light in his eyes: No matter what, Qiancheng is a member of his Gu family, whether Qiancheng's reputation is good or bad
They are all closely related to his Gu family. If anyone asks, the Gu family will have to prove it for Qiancheng.
After the ceremony, Gu Qiancheng and Mr. Cheng stood quietly in front of the hall with their hands down. However, the solemn atmosphere in the hall was not affected. No one spoke for fear of ruining the solemn and solemn moment. In the end, it was the virtuous hermit who
Start by saying, "Very good, I will be afraid of you later in life."
This compliment impressed both Gu Qiancheng and Cheng Sangong. The dean of the academy knew the purpose of Lay Master Xian Yin's visit and hurriedly said: "I would like to ask Lay Master to arbitrate, who will win among these two boys?"
Only then did everyone remember that what they saw was not just a demonstration of auspicious rituals, but the most important thing was a competition.
Everyone looked at Xiang Xianyin in anticipation of his answer, even Young Master Cheng. The only person who didn't care was Gu Qiancheng.
Gu Qiancheng knew her own strength very well. After seeing that the moves she made were exactly the same as Master Cheng, Gu Qiancheng was even more sure that she would not lose.
Cheng Sangong learned ancient rituals, and she also learned ancient rituals that were restored according to ancient Zhou rituals after hundreds of historians and archaeologists spent decades studying them.
The layman Xian Yin said a few words modestly, and at the unanimous request of everyone, announced that the game was a draw.
Hearing this result, everyone felt that it was unexpected but reasonable. As Xian Yin said, both Gu Qiancheng and Cheng Sangong did a good job, without any mistakes, except for a tie.
What could it be?
Third Young Master Cheng also breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Master Xian Yin was very fair. If Master Xian Yin sided with Gu Qiancheng, then it was not impossible for Master Xian Yin to find fault with him.
After the etiquette competition, Gu Qiancheng and Cheng Sangong went down to change clothes and prepare for the fun competition.
The Six Music refers to the six sets of music and dance of "Yunmen Dajuan", "Xianchi", "Dashao", "Daxia", "Dayi" and "Dawu". All six sets of music and dance require the cooperation of people. The conditions of Donglin Academy are limited.
After seeking the consent of Gu Qiancheng and Cheng Sangong, they changed to playing ancient music.
The noble sound of the qin pleases one's own heart first, and a gentleman always comes first. Mr. Cheng San chose the guqin and played an ancient tune.
Learning the piano is not something that happens overnight, nor can you learn it well overnight. If you want to play a good piano, you need to spend a lot of time and energy. Obviously, Mr. Cheng San, who comes from a family of military commanders, is not this material. He just knows how to play.
, can never reach proficiency.
In the song "High Mountain Flow", Third Young Master Cheng could only speak fluently, but it could not be called good. Third Young Master Cheng also knew his own abilities, and was not surprised by the comments from everyone. After finishing the song, Third Young Master Cheng looked at Gu Qian
City, waiting for Gu Qiancheng to play.
Gu Qiancheng bowed to the wise hermit and asked everyone to wait a moment. Her musical instrument had not been brought yet.
"What can sister play?" Gu Chengyi was a little excited and pulled Jing Yan's clothes, hoping that Jing Yan could give him an answer.
Jing Yan shook his head helplessly, "You don't know what your sister knows, so how can I know?"
"The housekeeper of Prince Qin's Mansion is out. He must be looking for musical instruments for your sister." Feng Sijin was very attentive and paid special attention to Gu Qiancheng's affairs, so naturally he would not miss this detail.
Feng Sijin spoke in a moderate voice, just enough for the dean of Donglin Academy and the third son of the Cheng family to hear. The dean was very polite and immediately said: "It seems that Miss Gu didn't know that the layman Xian Yin would come.
I didn’t know that lay people would let them play ancient music.”
"No one knows the news that my master is coming." Feng Sijin nodded towards the dean of the academy.
Feng Sijin's character is still guaranteed. When the eldest young master of the Cheng family and the second young master of the Cheng family heard this, their expressions immediately improved, and the tense body of the third master Cheng also relaxed a little.
As if to verify Feng Sijin's words, as soon as Feng Sijin finished speaking, the housekeeper of Prince Qin's Mansion ran in sweating profusely, "Girl, you want the xun."
Xun?
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they looked at the musical instrument in the hands of the steward of Prince Gu Qin's Mansion. They did not expect that Gu Qiancheng would actually play with a xun.
Very few ladies learn how to play the xun. This does not mean that the xun is not good, but it is very laborious to play. When playing the xun, you have to keep it graceful and it is difficult to be weak.
"Your sister actually knows how to play the xun?" This time it was Jing Yan who asked Gu Chengyi.
Gu Chengyi raised his face and said proudly: "What's the matter? My sister knows a lot of things. What's so weird about my sister knowing how to play the xun? It would be weird if she couldn't."
Gu Chengyi is Gu Qiancheng's crazy fan. Everything Gu Qiancheng does is right and everything is normal.
Jing Yan was speechless, and Mrs. Gu nodded with satisfaction. He was a good grandson, and his mind worked quickly. If he said this, there would be no problem in Qiancheng Society.
After getting the xun, Gu Qiancheng went to the virtuous hermits and several other people to bless their bodies. After tuning the music, they sat down and prepared to play...
The sound of the xun was full, round, loud and steady, and the sound was long and sweet. Of course, when Gu Qiancheng started blowing it, the sound of "Uh-huh" came. For a moment, everyone thought they were walking into the thatched hut where a hermit and great scholar lived. The thatched hut was simple and simple.
, there was nothing, but the old man kneeling on the ground holding a xun was not affected at all and was intoxicated in his own world.
The sound of Xun has a strong sense of history, which can make people ignore the player and just indulge in this beautiful sound. Although Gu Qiancheng did not finish playing the song, there is no need for Xian Yin to speak, they all know this game
