"Didn't the Qing people smoke opium*, have withered faces, black and yellow teeth, have strange braids, and wore complicated robes, like ghosts in wax museums?" A viscountess was chattering with her female companion, "Is this oriental gentleman in military uniform sure that he is from the Qing Dynasty?" He looks so young. Doesn't seem to be as lewd as a Japanese dwarf monkey, and his female companion is also an Oriental? Or a hired gypsy, hehe. ”

The discussion of several eight women was in Low German, and Wu Chenxuan couldn't understand it, so he still took his female companion to shuttle through the banquet with a smile on his face. But the female companion beside him was a rare linguistic genius, frowning slightly, as if she was still lamenting that she could not carry out the next set of experiments, and that spending an evening with these unscientific vulgar fans was a blasphemy against science.

"We are organizing such a banquet here today to welcome a scientist and military strategist from the East, a friend of the German Empire, General Wu Chenxuan from the Qing Kingdom." The bearded Duke of Württemberg rang his glass, and all the noble men and women in the banquet hall calmed down very obediently. Their eyes focused on a figure wearing an iron-gray military uniform, and Wu Chenxuan was waving.

"For the friendship between Germany and the Qing Dynasty, for the friends who came from afar. Cheers" The Duke of Württemberg is also a standard Junker nobleman, no matter what kind of discrimination he has against Wu Chenxuan in private, but he still has to maintain the demeanor of a nobleman on occasions like a cocktail party.

As the reception progressed, the aristocratic men and women began their own socialization, and Wu Chenxuan, the titular protagonist, was only accompanied by several business nobles from Krupp and the Bavarian consortium. Miss Wang Zijin had been forgotten in the corner, and she just took the opportunity to rest her brain, so as not to be affected by this chaotic scene.

The young man in a black stand-up collar tuxedo saw this scene, and he walked onto the stage with a smile that seemed to have some purpose. After bowing to the men and women in the audience, he sat down in front of the Steinway piano in the center of the stage. Gently stretching the arm, a string of light notes emanates from the resonance box of the piano, this is a piece by Liszt "Dream of Love".

Liszt was a gifted composer and pianist who was born in Leidinku, Hungary. Since childhood, he has loved music and can play the piano. Liszt studied piano under his father's tutelage from an early age, and at the age of nine he gave a recital that attracted the attention of many people. His father saw Liszt's musical talent. Determined to send him to the cradle of musicians, Vienna, they moved their family to Vienna. After a year of studying at Vienna, the eleven-year-old Liszt gave a recital that caused a sensation in the Vienna music scene. Later, Liszt went to Paris to study music. He began living in France for 26 years. Liszt's playing skills and the art of playing the piano have a kind of magic, and he is known as the first pianist and the king of piano in Europe. He is also a talented composer, famous for his Faust Symphony, Hungarian Rhapsody, Dante's Divine Comedy, etc.

Like Chopin, Liszt was not German, but his piano etudes were the pinnacle of piano etudes, both technically and artistically. In Germany, this song "Dream of Love" is still widely circulated, but this song is played in public, and the young man's eyes have been wandering over Wang Zijin, and everyone understands the meaning of this. Uh, it should be said that it does not include a natural female scientist, although she looked at the menu in front of her, but she was already pondering Wu Chenxuan's theory repeatedly, is her research really close to a dead end? Is there really no way to help her open the door to the analysis of active ingredients in drugs?

Wu Chenxuan, who was talking about business in French with several veteran business tycoons, suddenly came to the scene in the hall, it seems that this young Junker aristocrat seems to be very attracted to oriental charm, but unfortunately he doesn't understand that female doctors, creatures and women basically have nothing in common except for appearance, and this level of romance is not as effective as giving her a state-of-the-art microscope. Wu Chenxuan, who shook his head, felt that the female companion he brought was openly pried by others, and it seemed that he was too faceless. Naturally, he pushed down the conversation of the others, and Wu Chenxuan also walked to the piano, and suddenly applauded when the young man had come to an end but had not been seen by the beauty.

The men and women around him didn't understand the mystery, but they felt that the young man played in style, so they all applauded. The lost young man was angry by this applause, but he couldn't have a seizure, and the guy in front of him who was the first to cheer seemed to be the companion of the goddess, and the young man who got up from his heart got up and gave up his seat, and applauded and respectfully put Wu Chenxuan in front of the piano, just waiting for this guy with big braids to make a fool of himself.

Looking at the ivory keys that were black and white, shining with a charming luster in the light, Wu Chenxuan's heart swelled with a familiar and intimate feeling. Feeling the gaze of everyone in the audience, and the focused expressions of several old nobles with titles, every cell in Wu Chenxuan's body was slightly excited, full of playing **, this is a famous product that was placed in the museum in later generations, and it was really used for him to play, compared to the holographic piano at home, this is the real guy.

Yes, Wu Chenxuan is such a live performer, commonly known as people come crazy, the stage, the audience, the famous piano, all of this can make his desire to play soar, and his passion is ignited instantly.

Hands raised, elegantly placed on the smooth ivory keys, a feeling of water and milk* blending spontaneously, as if seeing the most beloved and precious thing, it was a wonderful feeling.

Looking at Wu Chenxuan's series of preparatory actions, everyone showed a satisfied look on their faces. The layman looks at the bustle, the insider looks at the doorway, which seems to sit casually and lift his arms, these ordinary starting movements, but they can reflect the quality of a performance. It's an indescribable feeling, but every senior nobleman can feel it personally, and this is a style that can't be imitated by a guy who doesn't know the piano no matter what.

Wu Chenxuan sat in the most comfortable position in front of the piano, his hands tapped on the keys, and a string of beautiful pite notes crescinated from weak to strong, ringing in everyone's ears.

This piece of music is like a clear stream. It flows in every corner of the concert hall. Every listener feels as if they are in the beautiful scenery depicted by the sound of the piano. Immerse yourself in it and linger. It's like drinking afternoon tea in the back garden on the top floor of the city, and before you know it, your heart has been filled with a touch of happiness and tranquility. The emotional tone of self-pity is transformed into a warm narrative poem. At the same time, everyone present imagined such a scene: a beautiful girl was there talking to herself calmly and gracefully, and even a faint smile and kind eyes could be seen on the corners of her mouth.

Wu Chenxuan's clean and slender ten fingers played gently and delicately on the keys, every note was so soft and transparent, and Wu Chenxuan's expression naturally revealed a trace of tenderness. From time to time, his gaze swept over his ten fingers. Sometimes I look in front of the piano, as if I am looking into the distance. The view was hard for him. The eyes are deep, as if with the freedom of insight into the world, but they are as clear as a pool of clear water, without a trace of impurities, so that the hearts of everyone who sees those eyes are immediately calm.

"What beautiful music, so beautiful eyes." , The eighth woman who was talking about Wu Chenxuan just now sighed comfortably in her heart, and watched his performance with enjoyment, as if she was in an illusion.

This is the French Elena of later generations?? Huo Lai's song "My Name is Elaine", after waiting for half of the time, Wu Chenxuan's eyes also drifted to Wang Zijin's face, and Wang Zijin, who was infected by this fresh music, also sensed this discharge in his eyes, just now she was a lonely and arrogant goddess, but now she is at a loss like a shy little girl.

A girl wearing a tight iron gray military uniform with the same oriental face walked gently to Wang Zijin's side, pulled her up and walked to the stage, a waiter opened two microphones on the stage in time, the girl put a lyric on the teleprompter in front of Wang Zijin, looking at this familiar French, Wang Zijin's mind was attracted by this simple and bright lyrics. At this moment, the music of the second loop sounds, "Hélène, jem'appellehélène jesuisunefillemelesautres..."

This simple and almost transparent lyrics, led by the light voice of the girl in military uniform, Wang Zijin also let go of his posture, and sang in slightly hoarse French.

Every listener was deeply fascinated by the wonderful world depicted by this song, with a look of enjoyment on their faces, sometimes with a hint of dazedness or loss, the ladies seemed to be reminded of the fantasy of girlhood by the song, but in an instant they were abandoned by the reality that time could not be traced. But at last, the song became distant, faded, like the waves of the sea, and finally fell asleep, and entered a sweet dreamland. The two Oriental girls in front of the microphone used their oriental charm and delicate and elegant voices to make the German aristocrats at the whole reception crazy like them, and the Germans, who had never seen such a light narrative song, almost immediately fell in love with this simple "My Name is Elaine".

Wu Chenxuan's hand crawled on the keys, lazily, as if he was about to fall into the keys, and the soft end flowed out of the piano, with a trace of nostalgia and reluctance, and gradually drifted away.

At the end of the song, the huge main hall was silent, and everyone was immersed in the memories brought by the sound of the piano, unable to extricate themselves.

"It's so beautiful, my name is Elaine, ah, it's so beautiful that it feels unreal. Wu Chenxuan, what is in your inner world? What kind of experience did you have that allowed you to play music that seemed to forget everything? ", sighed intoxicated in the hearts of the Duke of Württemberg and other old nobles.

The old duke thought as he slowly applauded "snap, snap".

This applause, like throwing a pebble on the surface of a calm lake, instantly awakened people's minds, and everyone realized that they had not yet congratulated themselves on this wonderful performance.

In an instant, the hall burst into thunderous applause
