Chapter 073: The Woman in White

In terms of Northern Qin's musical attainments, the achievements can be said to rank first among several countries, and when it comes to why Northern Qin is so important to music, it is that the ancestor of the emperor was a music idiot.

After laying down the Northern Qin, the whole country was happy, and the ancestors of the emperor had to let the singers sing songs every day, although the ministers felt that "singing songs at night and night" was a very wrong thing, but fortunately, the ancestors of the emperor never treated the government sloppily, and this was the only hobby, so the courtiers turned a blind eye.

During the reign of the emperor, the ancestors made a lot of achievements, and in order to remember him, the common people regarded music as an important part of the humanistic culture of the Northern Qin, and compared with the civil and military officials of other countries, the Northern Qin had more ---- musicians who played for the emperor and major celebrations.

Most of these musicians are produced from the annual fighting music festival in the country of eight sounds.

As early as a month ago, people from other counties and provinces rushed to Quyang, partly to witness the excitement of the major music masters, and some to become musicians and come to participate in the competition.

It is the season of spring, the sky is clear, the wind is beautiful, the top is blue, but the ground is full of crowds, shoulder to shoulder and not congested.

The country of Eight Music is open to the outside world, and anyone with any identity, as long as they know music, can participate, because there is no threshold, and it also makes this early just a form of competition, which slowly evolves into an important festival now.

How can such a festival not be lively? There is a lively place, how can there be less Zhu Mo.

Because there are so many people participating in the competition, most of the first floor will be screened first, and the rest can go up to the second floor.

Zhu Mo came early, occupied the best seats, and squatted on the chair boredly waiting for Gong Xiru Bailang and a few people.

Finally saw a few familiar figures appear at the door of the first floor, Zhu Mo happily poked his head out of the window, beckoned and shouted: "Changyan, Cunjin--- here and here." ”

When Gong Xiru and Bai Lang went up to the second floor, he complained: "You two are also a little unkind, and you actually let me wait here alone to be bored, do you know how I came here at this hour." ”

Bai Lang asked Xiao Er to collect the mountain of melon seed shells on the table, and said with a smile: "I'm full of food and drink, what is missing?" ”

Zhu Mo smiled, hurriedly asked Xiao Er to send some more food, and said: "There are many more people fighting music this year than in previous years, Changyan, if you don't have an elder there, you must be the one who wins the championship this year." ”

Gong Xiru didn't speak, but Bai Lang said, "When will Changyan participate in this kind of competition?" Even if you win, being a musician for the emperor is a blessing for ordinary people, but it is a disaster for people like us. ”

Zhu Mo touched his head and said apologetically: "Isn't this just talking, I am reluctant to let Changyan enter the palace as a musician, he has entered the palace, if I want to follow, I can only castrate myself with one knife." ”

Bai Lang laughed, and even Gong Xiru's iceberg face couldn't help but hook the corners of his lips.

Zhu Mo's eyes looked around for interesting things, and he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Gong Chengyan and Gong Yunrui, who were on the second floor, and their mother Li.

He bumped Gong Xiru with his elbow and said, "Your father is here." ”

The Doule Festival has almost become a traditional existence in Northern Qin, and even the royal family has sent ministers from the Music Department to attend, not to mention that the Eight Music Country is the property of the Ling family, but all those who are good friends with it will participate.

Gong Xiru came with Bai Lang, he nodded slightly to indicate that he saw it, and only after Gong Chengyan and the three of them went upstairs and sat down, he walked over to salute.

Gong Chengyan asked him to sit with his family, but Gong Xiru saluted on the grounds that it was not good to let his friends go, and returned to his original position.

Gong Yunrui smiled and watched Gong Xiru sit down again, and then turned his gaze away, where a woman in red stood with her hands in her hands, and a long flute in her hand almost became the most dazzling scenery.

Of course, in addition to Gong Yunrui, there are also a lot of eyes that fall on the woman in red, because the woman's beauty really makes people a little unable to take their eyes off.

The first floor has come to an end, and the rest of the people have arrived at the second floor.

Zhu Mo disdains the small characters on the first floor, but those who can go up to the second floor have some skills.

He said to Gong Xiru: "Changyan, from your elder's point of view, who is most likely to win the championship this year?" ”

Gong Xiru's gaze fell on a woman who was covered in white sand.

Those who can go up to the second floor, in addition to some of the people who won on the first floor, there are also those who have received Doule posts, these people are all famous, and they have fame, fortune, money, and strength, so they go directly to the second floor.

Zhu Mo followed his line of sight and looked over: "Could it be that you are optimistic about this woman?" She has been sitting on the second floor, which famous person should be, her temperament is extraordinary, although her face is blocked, I can judge by my eyesight, this woman is definitely superior. The flute in her hand looks a little different from the ordinary flute, and it should have a great origin. ”

turned his gaze to the woman in red on the other side, and his tone was undisguised amazement: "But this woman in red is also amazing at first glance, you say, these two girls are both, who will win?" ”

Bai Lang was speechless at Zhu Mo's standard of judging strength by appearance, and shook his head: "The hand over there is indeed a Xiao, but this side is not a Xiao, it is similar to Xiao, but it is not the same." ”

"What's not Xiao?" Zhu Mo was curious, "Changyan, tell me, what kind of musical instrument is the woman holding in her hand here?" ”

Gong Xiru stared at the woman in white with a pair of sharp eyes, and after a long time, she slowly spit out two words: "Shakuhachi." ”

Bai Lang had heard of shakuhachi, and he also knew that it was not a common musical instrument in Northern Qin, so he was a little interested: "The effect of shakuhachi is different from that of the flute, but I am a little curious if this woman can blow such an artistic conception." ”

Zhu Mo didn't know much about the musical instrument, but he was full of interest in the woman in white, and her peach blossom eyes narrowed, "That woman has no one around her, how lonely, I'll go and accompany her." ”

Before he could stand up, he was sat down by Gong Xiru with a shocked look, "I --- I was talking about fun, and I didn't plan to go." After a pause, he was a little aggrieved: "You always protect the girl of the Ling family on weekdays, why do you protect a stranger?" ”

Gong Xiru didn't answer, but looked at the center of the stage, "It's started." ”

Zhu Mo's interest was immediately attracted, and he clapped his hands with a smile: "Let me wait." ”

In the fight on the second floor, Zou Quan presided over the overall situation, and when he came on stage, Ling Shandao, Lan and Zou Ling Hui also appeared one after another.

Gong Xiru took the lead and greeted Lan and Ling Shandao, followed by Bai Lang and Zhu Mo.

Returning to his seat, Zhu Mo was a little puzzled: "Why don't you see the big girl of the Ling family?" At this time, why did my sister come out? Could it be that you are locked up at home? ”

Zhu Mo still remembered the incident he had witnessed by his aunt bullying a child who had no own mother by pretending to be a coachman, and to this day, he still felt that Ling Yi was not doing well in Ling's Mansion.

Bai Lang frowned slightly, with his understanding of Ling Yi, what Zhu Mo was worried about would never happen.

Gong Xiru's face was expressionless, ignoring Zhu Mo's words.

This made Zhu Mo more and more confused, to be honest, the latter's almost unbelievable maintenance of Ling Yi made him a little sure, the Gong Ling family must have been married since childhood, although this kind of thing has not been confirmed, but Zhu Mo thought that it was not far away.

Zou Quan still said the old-fashioned opening remarks, but everyone was very supportive because he had the support of the Ling family, and he applauded almost constantly.

After introducing themselves, the contestants came to the stage one after another, either piano or se, sheng or zhu, singing and dancing wonderful.

The people who came here were all happy people, and the beautiful melody was mesmerizing, and after each round, the audience applauded and cheered like thunder.

Zhu Mo was irritated by the restless noise around him, and his eyes swept frequently between the women in red and white, "Why can't you get it yet, these tunes are all in the same tune, and I am almost annoyed to death when I hear it." ”

Bai Lang didn't miss the opportunity to tease him, "You shouldn't have come to this place, use four words to describe you like this, guess what?" ”

Zhu Mo pondered for a while, suddenly snapped his fingers, and said triumphantly: "Isn't it to play the piano to the cow?" You may say that I don't know how to play the piano, but ---- it's true. ”

Encountering this kind of cheeky person, Bai Lang was completely speechless, and just heard Zou Quan say that the next person was a person named Tsuji Niang.

Everyone moved with the white shadow, and the wind blew gently, but they couldn't lift the scarf on their faces.

The woman in white has slender hands, holding a shakuhachi in her hand, and gently puts it to her lips, and the melody comes out from the bamboo body, sometimes desolate and vast, making people feel like they are in the endless desert; Sometimes it was quiet and ethereal, like the rustling of leaves in the woods.

After a while, someone clapped and applauded, and then thunderous applause overshadowed the shouting.

The audience's reaction was the most real, although no one knew who the woman in white was, but that voice had conquered everyone.

Zhu Mo was dumbfounded, and it took a long time to close his mouth open, "Although I don't understand this ----, this --- sounds better than the others." ”

Gong Xiru looked at the woman in white fixedly, the corners of her lips were slightly raised, and the smile disappeared into her eyes.
