Chapter 159: Shuangshu Douqin (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Then he clapped his hands, and several women came in with portable pianos, and when they reached the hall, they placed the two pianos in place, and then retreated to the door.
After a while, everyone saw two women coming in at the door, the one on the left was wearing a light veil, and a lilac dress wrapped in a light purple dress was Hua Ying of Zhengle Stage, she still pulled her hair into a loose bun at will, and then inserted a lilac hairpin flower obliquely, and the charm was casual and chic.
Since Hua Ying married into the Mu Mansion, she has never brought a veil in the mansion, but today she was entrusted by Xiao Mocheng to have a Su Jin birthday celebration, but she still wore a veil.
On the right, a person wearing a lake-colored long skirt, the pleats of the skirt flow like snow and moonlight, and the light on the ground is Wan Qing of Wanqinglou, her gait is soft, her temperament is like a lotus, and she is still so beautiful and elegant.
As soon as the two beautiful girls appeared, everyone held their breath for a while, and they had forgotten where they were.
Hua Ying and Wan Qing gently blessed the main seat of the hall and the congratulatory guests under the hall, and did not say much, Hua Ying sat casually, Wan Qing slowly sat down, after the two sat down, they both put their shoulders flat, the jade hand stroked the body of the piano, after some debugging, they glanced at each other, Wan Qing saw Hua Ying nodded, then smiled and turned around, after concentrating, both hands stroked the strings back and forth, and a string of light notes slipped out like flowing water. Immediately afterwards, Hua Ying's fingers were slightly bent, in the shape of a half-clenched fist, pressing the strings with her left hand, playing the strings with her right hand, and a piece of music slowly flowed out.
The two have been congratulating each other slowly in the first section, and when they reach the middle section, they wave their jade fingers together, and the rhythm suddenly accelerates, one left and one right. One after the other, alternately showing their piano skills, obviously competing with each other.
Hua Ying's whole body moves with the piano notes, and her demeanor is chic and natural, while although Wan Qing is gentle and demure, her jade fingers are like flying at this moment, as smooth and natural as flowing water. The sound of the piano is sometimes as rapid as the roar of a war horse, and sometimes it is light like the tinkling of flowing water, which for a while provokes the hearts and eyes of everyone in the hall to follow up and down, one is urgent and one is slow.
Hua Ying and Wan Qing are like piano friends for many years. One person raised his eyebrows to visit. One person smiled lightly, his demeanor was indifferent and elegant, and his movements were even more chic and smooth. It is not until the latter part that the sound gradually slows down. At the end, one person slowly presses the strings. One person gently stroked the piano back and forth with his jade fingers. The aftersound is like a slow-flowing stream, clear and quiet, gurgling and stretching.
Everyone looked at the two people in the hall in a daze. After a long time, I came to my senses, and I didn't know when the sound of the piano would end, and I didn't know which of the two sisters was better or worse. I only knew that I had seen the most exciting piano competition in the history of Dahuan in Su Mansion tonight.
Wan Qing swept away everyone's look of obsession and admiration, and slowly got up and said to Xiao Mocheng in the hall: "Your Highness, Wan Qing has come from a long journey, one is to celebrate Taibao's birthday, and the other is to fulfill a small wish!" Her red lips opened slightly, and there was a faint coldness at the corners of her mouth.
"Oh? Girl, please speak. Xiao Mocheng got up and looked at her tenderly and said, she can sail from Xiakou to the capital day and night, how can she fulfill one of her wishes?
Wan Qing raised her eyebrows, looked at the people in the hall, and said word by word: "Wan Qing heard that the magic hand doctor Jiang Mei's piano skills are above the two of us in Xiakou, since Wan Qing is rare to go to Beijing, I hope His Royal Highness can make Wan Qing also feast his ears!" As soon as her voice fell, everyone smelled the provocation in her words, and it turned out that this young girl was not the one to be messed with.
Mu Xiaohe and Xiao Mocheng were both slightly stunned, and then they also remembered Jiang Mei's shocking performance that night. Shuangshuang looked at Jiang Mei. Everyone in the hall also followed Xiao Mocheng's gaze, and for a while, dozens of pairs of eyes were fixed on Jiang Mei, who was sitting in the corner.
"Although Hua Ying has met Miss Jiang a few times, she has never heard Miss Jiang's piano music with her own ears, I don't know if the girl appreciates her face, which opened Hua Ying's eyes!" Hua Ying also looked at Jiang Mei with a smile, although her tone was humble, everyone could hear the slightest unconvinced rhyme.
Now that Da Huan and Shuangshu have spoken, there is even more drama to watch now, and everyone stretched their necks to see Jiang Mei's reaction.
Jiang Mei, who was originally drinking with her head down, saw that Wan Qing called her name, and Hua Ying also challenged it with a strong meaning, and smiled bitterly for a while, since there was no way to hide, she could only stand up to fight.
Jiang Mei put down her wine glass, tucked her dress lightly, and got up neatly, but she didn't look at Wan Qing and Hua Ying in the hall, but looked at Xiao Mocheng and the others in the hall.
Su Jin and Su Weixin glanced at each other as soon as they heard Jiang Mei's name just now, and remembered what Xiao Mocheng said that day, so they both stared at Jiang Mei, wanting to see who this woman who fascinated Xiao Mocheng was.
Jiang Mei nodded slightly to Xiao Mocheng, signaling that he was okay, and then walked lightly to the hall.
From the moment Su Weixin saw her, his pupils shrank, his heart tightened, as if he was blocked by something, he had a cramping pain in his chest for a while, and he couldn't get out of breath, but he just looked at her stupidly.
I saw her standing tall in a light blue robe, with a dashing and elegant bun on her head, long eyebrows like ink, and a pair of bright eyes with a touch of sorrow embedded in her delicate face.
Jiang Mei walked among the two, raised her eyebrows, and said proudly: "Taibao Yawang Qingzhong, for a generation of famous weapons, Jiang Mei is fortunate to see it today, it is to relieve the admiration of many years." ”
Jiang Mei then rolled her eyes and looked around at everyone: "It happened that Miss Wan and Mrs. Mu were warmly invited, and Jiang Mei used the girl's meaning to congratulate Taibao on her birthday, and also to cheer everyone up!" Jiang Mei is calm and indifferent, neither humble nor arrogant, and her demeanor is still the same.
"Good! The old man had already heard of the girl's name, but he didn't expect that Miss Jiang not only had excellent medical skills, but also could play the piano with her hands. Su Jin said with a smile on his face,
He is over the age of old, he has read countless people, and his intuition tells him that the woman in front of him is not simple, and it is no wonder that his precious grandson will take a fancy to her. As soon as Su Jin spoke, everyone in the hall nodded again and again, those who had seen Jiang Mei playing the piano showed expectant eyes, and those who had not seen it opened their eyes wide to see the skills of this famous medical woman in Beijing.
Xiao Mocheng couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw that Su Jin was quite interested, he believed that Jiang Mei's talent was enough to conquer anyone, he nodded towards Jiang Mei and motioned for her to start. Only Xiao Moheng looked at her lightly, without any expression on her face. It seems that everything is none of your business.
He didn't care about the competition in the hall, he just turned his head to toast Su Jin, "Although the Taibao has increased its teeth, it is as strong as before, Mo Heng respects the Taibao with a cup!" "Hide your face and drink it all,
Su Jin looked at him slightly, but he was quite shocked in his heart: he really underestimated this Seventh Prince all along. Su Jin also raised his glass and saluted back: "Your Highness is elegant and ambitious, Su Jin admires!" Then he raised his head and drank it all.
Xiao Moheng immediately raised his eyebrows, and his gaze swept over Su Weixin beside Su Jin. Seeing that his eyes were a little obsessive, he looked at the hall. Xiao Moheng was slightly surprised, and looked at him silently, but found that he was looking at Jiang Mei, and Mo Heng's expression moved. I was quite puzzled.
At this time, Jiang Mei in the hall turned her head to look at Wan Qing beside her and smiled: "I don't know if I can borrow the girl's piano to use it?" ”
Wan Qing nodded slightly. He then took two steps back. Giving up a seat to Jiang Mei, Jiang Mei smiled lightly to show her gratitude, and then sat down gently. After she sat down, she flicked her sleeves, leaned forward slightly, looked at the strings with soft eyes, stroked the strings with both hands at will, picked seven hooks and five, and hooked one in the small room, and when she got used to the strings, she let go of everything, and quickly plucked the strings with both hands.
Then a string of flowing water sounds floated out, she held down the strings with her left hand, plucked back and forth with her right hand, and so on several times, and the rhythm became faster and faster, the sound of the piano was delicate and resolute, and for a while it seemed to gather everyone's hearts on the strings, moving with the strings, and Jiang Mei closed her eyes, leaving only her white jade fingers waving on the strings. After a period of attack, the sound of the piano slows down, and the fingers pluck the strings finely, and a trick of the valley flows to the spring, and the sound of the piano comes like a soup water, bubbling up. Jiang Mei opened her eyes from time to time, her eyes were empty, and the whole person was quaint and clear, leisurely and free.
Such a graceful and elegant she has made several people look fascinated, Xiao Mocheng in the hall did not hide his obsessive and intoxicated expression, at that moment the only wish in his heart was to marry hand in hand with this woman, the mountains are high and the sea is far away, happy rivers and lakes, what throne or prince, he doesn't care,
Xiao Mocheng is not a person who loves power, and the throne is just a game for him.
Another person in the hall who looked at her with a confused look and a sad face was Su Weixin, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's too similar, it's really too similar, it's not that it looks alike, but it looks like a temperament and charm, but Dinglian is a little more cold, and the woman in front of him is a little more chic and broad.
Su Weixin sighed slightly, it was extremely gratifying to see a woman on a par with her in this life. The woman who has been thinking about Su Wei's faith is none other than Yun Yueyao's mother, Xiao Dinglian, the eldest princess of Xuanling.
Su Weixin has known Xiao Dinglian since childhood, and the two are also childhood sweethearts. Su Weixin has always treated her like a brother, and he has a lot of love for her in his heart, Su Weixin has always thought that he would marry her, but it is a pity that he killed a Yun Lingbo halfway and won Xiao Dinglian's heart in one fell swoop.
Failing to marry Princess Cheng Xuanling was the only setback of the Su family in the court, Su Jin was such a proud person, since he knew that Xiao Dinglian belonged to Yun Lingbo, he prevented Su Weixin from going to see her, and after Xiao Dinglian married Yun Lingbo, Su Weixin also obeyed Su Jin's arrangement to marry the daughter of the Huiji Yu family, that is, the cousin of Emperor Xiao Yu. Therefore, Su Junyi and Xiao Moheng have also been close to their two sisters since childhood.
Xiao Moheng looked at Jiang Mei with a smile, not wanting to take her eyes off, but also not showing her heart too much, Xiao Moheng smiled bitterly in her heart, and only hoped that one day she could be her own woman in a dignified manner.
Just like the night of the wedding, Mu Xiaohe was still looking at Jiang Mei in a trance, he seemed to have a feeling of unreality, and there was a strange emotion in his heart, he couldn't say it, he couldn't tell it, Mu Xiaohe's expression was quite complicated, just like Jiang Mei in his heart, he felt that she was suddenly leaving, and there was a sense of incomprehension.
Pei Yun and Su Jin also stared at Jiang Mei in the hall with fiery eyes, the only difference was that the two were not completely intoxicated by her piano sound, but each had another plan.
Unlike the six people in the hall who looked different, everyone in the hall was intoxicated and didn't know why. Even Su Junyi, who has a high degree of musical attainment, was once again amazed at Jiang Mei's piano skills, he looked at her stupidly, and muttered: "I thought that her skills were not as good as Wan Qing, but it seems that I was wrong again..."
After a gentle melody, Jiang Mei opened her eyes slightly, looked at the strings, the tone was from low to high, and then the rhythm suddenly became faster, she continued to speed up like a beat, and the sound of the piano was like a waterfall from the sky. At this moment, Jiang Mei seems to be a collection of the essence of heaven and earth, she once again buried for 14 years of grief and depression into the sound of the piano, her hands seem to be attached to the strings of the general, back and forth, like glue like paint, swaying freely, unconsciously, she has been heart and Tao, meaning and strings, do not know the piano to the hand, the hand to the piano.
At that moment, she was the only one in everyone's eyes, as if she was the spirit of heaven and earth, the master of all things.
Until the sound of the piano is so fast that it can't be faster, in an instant, she flicks her fingers, the sound peak turns, and once again plucks back and forth from fast and slow, the sound of the piano gradually returns to the bottom like water into a deep pool, and finally, her right hand gradually leaves the piano, and the left hand does not leave the fingers, the aftersound is ethereal, like a soft breeze slowly winding around the beam, like a fragrance lingering in the heart, endlessly...
For a while, there was silence in the hall, and everyone stayed for a long time before they came back to their senses, but the first to applaud was Su Jin, he looked at Jiang Mei fixedly, his misty and chaotic old eyes gradually brightened, and at this moment he had only one thought in his heart, that is, to let Xiao Mocheng marry Jiang Mei. And Pei Yun in the hall also has the same mind as him, no matter what, he has to try to get Jiang Mei to marry into the Pei family, Pei Yun said secretly in his heart.
Immediately, everyone on the stage applauded endlessly, praising her, calling her peerless piano skills, unmatched.
Jiang Mei still stood up with a faint smile on her face and bowed to everyone in the hall to show her gratitude.
Wan Qing, who was standing next to Jiang Mei, gently blessed Jiang Mei, and said softly: "Miss Jiang's skills and realm are above Wan Qing, Yun Qing sighs to herself, and I hope the girl will not care about Wan Qing's previous rudeness!" ”
Jiang Mei turned around and helped her shoulders, and said sincerely: "The girl is modest, Jiang Mei is ashamed!" ”
Everyone in the hall praised Jiang Mei, but Hua Ying, who was on the right side of Jiang Mei, stared at Jiang Mei, and there was a sneer on the corner of her mouth,
At this time, Wan Qing, who was standing opposite her, noticed her strange appearance and said in surprise: "Miss Huaying, you seem to be unconvinced?" ”
Everyone also looked at Hua Ying under her inquiry, Wan Qing has been willing to bow down, although the three women's piano skills have been perfected, but in a comparison, everyone has seen the high and low, is this Hua Ying girl still unwilling?
Jiang Mei also turned to look at Hua Ying, she had no intention of fighting for a high level, but Hua Ying's disdain made her quite puzzled.
Hua Ying sneered: "Dare to ask Miss Jiang, what kind of music is playing, and where does the score come from?" ”
Jiang Mei was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "This song is called 'Immortal Gully Floating Clouds', as for the score....Jiang Mei got it by chance." Jiang Mei dragged out her tail note, and then asked rhetorically: "I don't know why the girl asked about this?" ”
When everyone heard this, Hua Ying was unwilling to admit defeat, and deliberately made things difficult for Jiang Mei, with a lot of regret on her face.
Only Mu Xiaohe's face in the hall was a little surprised, he knew that Hua Ying was not that kind of person, but what was going on right now, I am afraid that Hua Ying would have to explain it himself.
Hua Ying didn't answer her, but then asked, "Where did the girl get this score?" And the girl knows the origin of the 'fairy gully floating clouds'? A look of pain flashed in Hua Ying's eyes. (To be continued......)
