Chapter 162: Xu Chen's Drum and Qin
Cheers and cheers, but in the end, the piano competition was postponed to the next day. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info As for the reason, it is Mao Ji who said that this literary meeting is for many scholars after all, not a special session for Su Mo and Li Zhaoxian.
Of course, this is an excuse on the surface, and the real reason is that Li Zhaoxian is Li Dongyang's son after all. Mao Ji looked at Li Zhaoxian's state very wrong, and was worried that if he continued to compare, Li Zhaoxian would have something to do, and it would be really difficult to explain. Speaking of home, he still thinks that Li Zhaoxian can't win than Qin Dao.
Except for the scholars who were a little unhappy with this resolution, including Li Zhaoxian, everyone else did not complain and accepted it calmly.
Just as Mao Ji was worried, although Li Zhaoxian was the lips, he was actually worried about his body in his heart. Before, he was shaking even standing, and his head was dizzy for a while, and Venus appeared in front of him. This will be the township test in a few days, and his son Li Dongyang has great expectations for this, and he doesn't want any accidents.
Not to mention Hua Long and the others, Li Zhao had an accident first, and they had to follow the bad luck, and there was no second result.
Therefore, when the decision was passed, several people left without half a word of nonsense.
Su Mo and the others also said goodbye to Mao Ji and the others and went back, but this time the team that went back expanded again, with three more He Ying and Wang Yu's master and servant.
Wang Yu didn't think it was good, but He Ying dragged her away with a big grin, without even saying a kind word.
Not only did he not say kind words, but he also complained at Su Mo. said that I was deceived for a long time, and I took a lot of heart, and this squint should be expressed.
Well, because of the two competitions with Li Zhaoxian this time, Lady He felt quite relieved, so her attitude towards Su Mo was much better. Therefore, the title has also been upgraded from a thief to a squint.
Although it is still a derogatory term, but it is better to get rid of the thief status, isn't it? Su Mo felt that he should be more generous and not care about her. You can compete with a man or a woman, but is it fun to compete with a cheerleader?
Everyone returned to Zhuangzi, and Chu Yushan took his subordinates to serve. Xing'er also came out to help He Ying and Wang Mi arrange temporary accommodation.
As soon as He Ying saw Xing'er, she was not good again, she smiled and smiled, and her hands were also groping, Su Mo almost lost her nose. immediately stepped forward and pointed to a servant woman to entertain He Ying, and asked Xing'er to arrange only the master and servant of Wang Yu.
Xing'er was like an amnesty, but He Ying was so angry that she opened her teeth and claws, shouting and fighting with Su Mo. It's a pity that Su Moli ignored her, and only turned his head to talk to Zhang Yue.
He Ying jumped to her feet and screamed for a long time and found that there was no market, so she had to stop stupidly. It's just that the eyes stared at Su Mo again and again, like a knife.
After getting along for most of the day, Wang Mi finally had some resistance to this situation. Although I still feel embarrassed, I can already deal with it calmly. After thanking Xing'er for her arrangement, she sat down in the shade of the tree in the courtyard with everyone.
He Ying couldn't find anything, so he could only sit next to Wang Yu, but he sat there as if he was covered with lice, and he couldn't be quiet for a moment, and finally he simply got up and went to the side of the eight strong pawns and the stone, and after a while, the conversation was quite speculative, which made Su Mo and the others sigh.
After everyone talked about the experience of today's day, and the excitement had passed, the sky gradually darkened. So he set up a big table and simply gathered around a table in the courtyard to eat. It was not until the moon was on the branches that they were happy, and they went to their rooms to rest.
Nothing was said all night.
The next morning, after breakfast, in the shouts of Xu Pengju and He Ying, everyone went out again and went to the venue.
It's just that Wei'er was quite yearning after listening to the excitement that everyone said last night, and looked up at Su Mo without speaking, but his eyes clearly showed a luster of hope.
Su Mo sighed in his heart, relieved himself, and asked Xing'er to take him to Xing'er's house to play, so that he could easily get out.
On the way, Wang Mi asked about Wei'er, but Su Mo passed by and didn't say much. He is not too familiar with Wang Yu, and Wei'er's affairs are quite weird, and he doesn't want to cause anything out of thin air.
Wang Mi sensed what he meant, and did not continue to ask. It's just that there was a little more thoughtfulness in her eyes, and it was obvious that this smart woman also noticed something strange inside.
Let's talk about it all the way, and when I came to the venue again, all the scholars in the audience had been waiting for a long time. Seeing Su Mo and his entourage coming, many people came up to greet him, which made Su Mo very addicted to being a star.
made a smirk and kept coping, until Mao Ji and a few people also came, and after taking a seat on the stage, everyone stopped and returned to everyone.
He Ying hated Su Mo's attitude towards her yesterday, and said with contempt on the side: "Fake appearance, the so-called hypocrite is like this." Also, just look at those eyes, you can see that there is a bit of a good person. ”
Su Mo let out a breath and looked up at the sky: "The sun came out of the west today? Why did you suddenly stop scolding people and don't say anything, but also changed people." Weird, really weird. ”
He Ying was dumbfounded, thinking hard, and couldn't figure out that the sentence just now was praised. Wang Mi and Lu Ting were also puzzled, Xu Pengju came over with a wicked smile and explained a few words in a low voice.
After he finished speaking, the king's master and servant suddenly realized. Lu Ting is giggles, thinking that this Brother Su is really interesting.
Wang Mi's cheeks were dizzy, and he glanced at Su Mo with slanted eyes, crying and laughing in his heart. This Su Gongzi is really not a polite person, how can he take the flirting and scolding between men and women as the standard? Not to mention frivolousness, such a narrow-mindedness is too bad.
Just thinking like this, I suddenly thought that according to Su Mo's theory, if I said that he was bad like this, wouldn't he mean that he was good? Secretly stomped his feet, quickly driving this strange thought out of his mind.
On the stage, Zhang Wenmo loudly announced that the competition would continue, and the first game was the third competition between Su Mo and Li Zhaoxian. The audience burst into cheers and applause.
Li Zhaoxian's face was still not good today, with a little unhealthy flush on his cheeks, and he coughed twice from time to time. Only those eyes were still bright and abnormal, and when they occasionally looked at Su Mo's side, they were as cold as ice.
After hearing Zhang Wenmo's announcement, he only raised his hand and waved, and Xu Chen walked out with a guqin in his arms.
When everyone saw that it was not Li Zhaoxian himself, it immediately caused a wave of boos, but Li Zhaoxian ignored it. Only next to him, Hua Long stood up and explained a few words loudly, saying that this was at the invitation of Su Mo yesterday, and he wanted to challenge several of them by one person.
Everyone was in an uproar again, and they spit on it, and they almost threw rotten eggs and rotten leaves. Hua Long hugged his head and retreated, embarrassed.
Su Mo was also a little curious, Zhang Yue whispered Xu Chen's origin on the side, and Su Mo was stunned. Nodding to a few people, Shi Shiran came up to the stage and waved his hand at the people below, and everyone in the audience gradually quieted down.
It wasn't until this moment that Su Mo turned his head to look at Xu Chen, who was panicked by everyone's face. first smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Young Master Xu, let's talk about it if you want to compare." ”
Xu Chen's eyes dodged, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Zhaoxian. After seeing Hua Long and the others clenching their fists at him, his face finally calmed down, turned his head to look at Su Mo, and plucked up his courage to say, "This time, this time it's still me...... I'll come first. ”
Su Mo shrugged, pushed two steps aside, and stretched out his hand to gesture for please. Xu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and sat down behind the little man, put the piano on the table, and closed his eyes slightly. It's just that in a moment, the whole person suddenly seemed to be a completely changed person, and there was no longer half of a cowering and cowardly appearance, but a kind of quiet aura loomed, which made Su Mo can't help but sigh lightly, and there is a flash of appreciation in his eyes.
Everyone in the audience also saw Xu Chen's strange appearance at this moment, and they all held their breath and condensed. After another moment, Xu Chen stretched out his sleeves, and suddenly raised his hand to stroke the strings, and in an instant, a clear sound suddenly appeared, and he began to play.
The music is melodious and ancient. Although it is in the middle of the city, it makes people smell as if a picture of mountains and forests and clear springs suddenly unfolds in front of them.
This kind of piano skill suddenly made the eyes of the scholars below look at him changed, after all, people who are really capable can always be respected. Even Mao Ji and others couldn't help but bow their heads slightly, secretly praising this son of the Ministry of Rites is indeed extraordinary.
There was silence on and off the stage, and they all sank into the sound of Xu Chen's piano. Only two people listened and listened, and suddenly frowned slightly.
One of these two people is Wang Mi, and the other is Su Mo. As a talented woman, Wang Mi has a great understanding of music and rhythm, but although the sound of this piano is beautiful, there is always an indescribable awkwardness. But if you want to say what's wrong, you can't say it for a while, just think hard.
But Su Mo relied on the accumulation of countless famous songs in later generations, and he could hear that something was wrong when he heard it.
Xu Chen's playing is really good, whether it is fingering or skill. If he could open his mind and play naturally, Su Mo really felt that he was afraid that it would not be easy to win him. It's a pity that this young man deliberately blindly seeks that clumsy artistic conception, but he doesn't know how he, a teenager, has not experienced any worldly events, how can he understand the true meaning of that artistic conception?
Su Mo looked at Xu Chen, who was contemplating the piano, sympathetically, and then looked at the smug expressions of Hua Long and the others on Li Zhaoxian's side, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked. Standing quietly on the side, he seemed to be confused by the sound of the piano, and his face was full of indifference.
In the middle of the sound, Xu Chen's fingers hooked, and a few single notes were played one after another, and then there was an abrupt stroke, and the piano sound stopped. Slowly opened his eyes, let out a long breath and stood up. first glanced back at his companion, and then turned his head to Su Mo and raised his eyebrows, full of provocation.
Su Mo shook his head in his belly, but there was no color on his face, he just smiled and nodded, raised his hands slightly, and applauded one by one.
Everyone in the audience was silent at first, but after a while, some people applauded along with Su Mo's rhythm. The applause gradually increased and grew, and finally converged into one piece after another, resounding throughout the venue.
Xu Chen was stunned, he didn't expect him to treat Su Mo like this, but Su Mo had no complaints, but responded to himself with applause. Unexpectedly, the scholars in the audience applauded themselves, and they were stunned for a while, but then their faces flushed. Although his expression was twisted, his eyes were full of excitement.
There was a round of applause on and off the stage, which lasted for a long time. Li Zhaoxian and Hua Long's faces were not happy at all, but became more and more gloomy.
Xu Chen, the fool, was completely stunned by this face, and at this moment, he stood in place like a fool, accepting this kind of recognition initiated by Su Mo, and he was faintly inferior. Even if you win in the end, it will definitely make the effect of winning greatly reduced.
"Hmph!" Li Zhaoxian squinted at Hua Long and snorted heavily.
Hualong Jiling shuddered, finally came back to his senses, and couldn't care about anything else, he immediately got up and walked to the stage, pulled Xu Chen behind him, and then arched his hand at Su Mo with a smile, and said in a dark voice: "Master Su, let's finish making ugly, it's your turn." ”
