Neither Xia Shang nor Li Youlan noticed that this broad street suddenly became quiet for some unknown reason.
All the pedestrians in Chunxiang Tower and Xinghe stopped and closed their mouths. No one made a sound.
Anyone who speaks out immediately becomes the focus of the surroundings, and then becomes the target of public criticism. They also become quiet amidst the condemnation of others.
"What happened?" Xia Shang became quiet unconsciously.
The people around him said softly: "Young Master Qin performed a song for Miss Xian'er in Chunxiang Tower in order to see him. Later, there will be many other young masters who will show off their talents in order to win Miss Xian'er's favor. Take a look at the Star Pavilion.
The people sitting in the middle group are all well-known young masters in the capital. They rarely appear in public on weekdays. It is rare that they can show their talents in front of the world today. How can we not feel at ease and listen quietly?"
After listening to what others said, Xia Shang turned his head and looked, and saw that there were many young masters scattered in the star pavilion above the galaxy. Under the pavilion, there was a young man with long hair, shawl, eyebrows like an eagle, sitting cross-legged.
Facing Chunxiang downstairs, a guqin stood quietly in front of her, with a pair of slender white hands lying on it, waiting for the surroundings to become quiet before playing the guqin.
Although this person has a female appearance, he is not as handsome and harmonious as Xia Shang. He is tall, slender and has a feminine look, which made Xia Shang a little curious.
"That is the so-called Mr. Qin? Who is he?"
"Are you a foreigner? Even Mr. Qin doesn't know about it?"
"Please clarify my doubts."
"The grandfather of Mr. Qin is one of the 'Three Saints', Qin Shuran, Taigong Qin. His name is Qin Xiangqin, and he is the most famous among the younger generations of the Qin family. He is a well-known scholar in the capital, and his piano skills are...
He is one of the best in the capital, and he is ranked among the top ten in the world. Even the emperor would have to spend ten thousand taels of silver to listen to his zither music. Now that he plays it openly, aren't we convinced? So rub it.
Open your ears and listen."
"Wow!" Li Youlan whispered, "It's so awesome that even the emperor has to give money to listen to it. Why don't I listen to it?"
Just as he was talking, the sound of the piano came.
The surroundings became quieter, and apart from the sound of the piano, there was only a faint sound of water, which became the best harmony of the piano.
When the piano sounded, everyone around him was in a state of intoxication and confusion.
Even people like Xia Shang who don't appreciate classical music very much feel that this person plays well, and he has a vague style of playing.
Looking at Li Youlan again, I was already intoxicated and couldn't extricate myself. I thought I had never heard such a good song.
Everyone was immersed in the music and forgot about time.
Only Xia Shang was still thinking about one thing - why so many women like to be called "Xian'er".
Hearing what people around him said, the girl upstairs was called Xian'er, so Xia Shang naturally thought of Xian'er, who was familiar with him.
When you are far away in Beijing, you will inevitably miss the beauty of Yangzhou.
Although Xian'er has a somewhat eccentric temperament, she is still an infatuated woman who values love and justice and dares to love and hate. If she hadn't risked her life to stop her master at the Heroes Conference, she might not have survived until now.
He also thought about how the scene he met for the first time with Miss Xian'er was somewhat similar to the scene now.
At that time, it was Xian'er who was playing the piano upstairs, and everyone was obsessed with it.
Thinking back on it, it feels like it was the other day, and it makes me nostalgic.
There was a smile on Xia Shang's lips.
At some point, the sound of the piano stopped.
The man who played the piano stood up, and everyone came back to their senses. For a moment, there were praises everywhere, and everyone was impressed by Mr. Qin's superb piano skills.
"Mr. Qin's music is a fairy sound from another world. We are lucky enough to hear it and die without regrets."
"Young master Qin's piano skills seem to have improved again. I'm afraid he will never have an opponent in this world, right?"
"This piece of music, let alone this fairy girl, even if it's really a fairy girl in the sky, I'm afraid I can't help but move the hearts of mortals, right?"
"It seems that today's guest is none other than Mr. Qin."
Mr. Qin smiled and gestured to the praisers around him one by one, and then said: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment. I just want to hear what Miss Xian'er upstairs has to say."
This place is more than ten meters away from Chunxiang Tower. If the surroundings are quiet, there will be no problem in communicating with the girl upstairs in the Star Pavilion.
Mr. Qin's voice also reached the ears of Miss Xian'er, whose face was invisible upstairs.
After stopping like this for a moment, I heard a soft voice from upstairs: "Master Qin has excellent piano skills, which is really rare in this world. However, there are some shortcomings in the music just now. The little girl thanks Master Qin for his contribution."
"Um?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, staring at what the girl upstairs was saying, but the next words seemed to be gone.
"Is this going to be gone?"
They all don’t understand a bit.
"Does Miss Xian'er mean that Mr. Qin is not good enough to be the guest of honor?"
"I heard from Miss Xian'er that she was a little dissatisfied with Mr. Qin's music, saying it had some shortcomings."
"How is this possible? Mr. Qin's music is still lacking? Isn't this Miss Xian'er's demands too high?"
Everyone was talking a lot, but the young Master Qin, who was still graceful before, turned purple at this moment, and even became a little ferocious. He suddenly shouted: "Shut up!"
This roar startled everyone, and they all fell silent.
I saw Mr. Qin walking quickly to the front, getting closer to Chunxiang Pavilion, and asked loudly: "Please give me some advice from Miss Xian'er. I wonder if there are any shortcomings in the music played by Mr. Qin."
Then I heard a soft voice from upstairs: "If Mr. Qin wants to hear it, I will explain it to you."
"Everyone, the qin played by Mr. Qin is the Wutong qin. The sound of the qin has the characteristics of lightness, looseness, greenness, and smoothness. The sound of the qin is clean, crisp, flat, and not sloppy. He is a gentleman who plays the qin. He should bear the ups and downs.
The visit was quick. However, the music played by Mr. Qin was poignant, melodious, and connected, which was completely contrary to the sound of the Wutong trees. Mr. Qin had excellent piano skills, but he did not understand the most basic music theory.
You need to choose the right piano when playing, just like you need to choose the right bowl when eating, you need to choose the right person when ordering, and you need to choose the right bait when fishing, and you must not be careless at all. The right piano and the right person are lifelong partners, and they combine with each other, no matter when and where
, played according to one's own spontaneity, not afraid of astringency of the sound, not afraid of wandering the mind, the music will be completely natural. I would like to ask, can the gentleman's qin played by Mr. Qin with a subtle sound be regarded as a person who understands the music? This is an insult to the qin, fairy
I should have been angry, but I thought of Mr. Qin's good intentions, so I restrained myself. But Mr. Qin, you don't know how to advance or retreat, and you still chatter endlessly, and you behave like a gentleman? Fairy, I don't want to see such people!"
After the conversation, everyone felt as if they were struck by lightning.
This girl Xian'er is extraordinary and a rare talent.
Mr. Qin's face turned even redder, and he was so ashamed that he wished he could get into the water and disappear from everyone's eyes.
Only Xia Shang looked horrified. He was very familiar with this passage. Isn't this the exact thing he said when he was arguing with Xian'er? (To be continued)
