Chapter 919: A Song of Five Strings
Shenjing, Beauty Building.
When a bloody and cruel and inhumane tragedy occurred in the distant Taiyang, it was a song and dance in Shenjing's Shenmiao Street.
Today's night, two yellow lanterns were hung at the entrance of the beauty building early, and the door has not been opened.
In Shenmiao Street, when the Oiran who is qualified to open the building alone is willing to open the door to welcome guests, they will hang two red lanterns at the door every time, and then the little servants guarding the door will know that the Oiran will open the door to welcome guests tonight, and then happily report to their masters, and when it is time to shi, their masters will come in full costume.
The two blue lanterns hanging on the gatehouse indicate that the Oiran has not returned, but the Oiran is still open, except for the Oiran family, everything else is the same, and there are still prostitutes who can accompany the wine and have fun, and recite poetry as a companion.
This is also the meaning of those oirans who will raise a group of prostitutes by themselves after they become independent, to avoid the loss of popularity of their flower buildings when they can't welcome customers, after all, the flower field is like a love field, those high rollers can fall in love with them at first sight, and naturally they can also fall in love with others at first sight.
This is exactly the elegance of Yanzi is happy, the falling flowers and flowing water are suddenly in the west and the east, how many times has there been true feelings in the party?
The yellow lantern hanging at the door means that it is inconvenient for everyone to receive customers today, or they are ill, or they are inconvenient to take customers, and they do not accept customers up and down, and generally this situation will not be hung for many days.
But the yellow lantern of the beauty building has been hanging for ten days in a row, and the little guys who inquire about the news at the door are all confused: is this beauty building going to be open? Or are the sisters all coming to red? But this red hasn't been coming for ten consecutive days, right?
What the hell is this beauty building doing, and is it still in business?
Among these small houses, there are also some servants of other flower buildings, they see that the beauty building has been closed for so long, and there are faint bursts of piano sounds in the building, obviously rehearsing behind closed doors, in order to prepare for the Chunlan meeting in the next few days.
"It seems that everyone Yu wants to make a splash!" A black-robed little girl rubbed his chin and looked thoughtfully at the two yellow lanterns hanging in front of the beauty building.
A young guy next to him looked extremely young, and he asked timidly, "Dare to ask this big brother what does this sentence mean?"
The black-robed guy looked the young guy in front of him up and down, and said with a smile, "Where are you?"
The little guy arched his hand and said, "Qianshan family." ”
The black-robed little guy was stunned for a moment, and said, "Qianshan family, which Qianshan family?"
This little guy who was originally submissive and a little timid couldn't help but have a little pride on his face at this time: "Which Qianshan family is there in the world?"
The black-robed little guy was suddenly in awe, and his face was much more enthusiastic: "It turned out to be the Qianshan family of the Third Taishi of the Fifth World! Disrespectful and disrespectful! The old man of Qianshan will return to Beijing just in time! In seven days, it will be the Chunlan Meeting! When the time comes, the capital of our Daqi Oiran will show off its skills, then it will be blessed! Now the flower buildings of the major leaders are staring at each other, and they all want to find out what famous hall the other party is rehearsing. ”
The young guy asked curiously, "What are you doing with these?"
This black-robed little guy was triumphant, with a ** lake attitude, and said: "You don't understand this, right! In this green building, there are many intrigues, and I am cheating! These leaders seem to have a deep sisterhood, but in fact, they are secretly wary, those oirans are not fuel-efficient lamps, which one is not holding back and wants to make a splash at the Chunlan Meeting, and steal the limelight of these leaders? Since ancient times, this happy flower building is like a battlefield, although the battle between women is bloodless, but the cruelty and ruthlessness in it is no less than that of men!
The young guy honestly asked for advice: "Not long after I came to Shenjing, I also asked my eldest brother for advice." ”
The black-robed guy said with a smile: "The battle for the head of the eight major lines back then seemed to be competing on the same stage, but stealing music scores, prying corners, and even poisoning and killing people in private, I didn't do less!"
The young guy couldn't help but be shocked: "There is still poisoning and killing?"
The black-robed little guy sneered: "Hey, don't you think that these famous prostitutes and oirans are as beautiful as fairies, but in fact, there are some people, they are ruthless and poisonous like snakes and scorpions!
The young guy smiled bitterly and said, "When I first arrived in Shenjing, I naturally didn't know. ”
The black-robed little guy said again: "There are also Oiran who secretly found out the song and dance content that the other party wants to perform, and deliberately arranged the same play, but because they appeared in the forefront, they naturally took advantage of it!"
This young guy looked eye-opening, and couldn't help but sigh: "I follow the boss to live in Taizhou, I only know that Taizhou is barren and hard, the people are fierce and martial, and I only see swords and soldiers in the countryside on weekdays, where have I heard that such a secret affair of Hualou is so secretive!"
The black-robed guy said again: "Hey, just look at it, this Chunlan Meeting, it must be another battle without a sword soldier! Yu Xingshou is not out of the door, he must be holding back in the flower building to make a splash! Don't you see that they haven't even released a single person recently?"
The young guy immediately said, "What does it mean that no one is released?"
The black-robed little man said: "In these major flower buildings, they all have their own eyeliner, but some of them have bright lines and some dark lines, which are used to send news out at critical times." Everyone knows this, so in order to prevent the news from leaking, they completely closed the Hualou, and these days they will be centrally managed, so that these dark line spies can not pass the news outside, so as to achieve the purpose of completely closing the news!"
The young guy sighed: "Hualou is like a battlefield, powerful!" He said: "Then this Yu Xingshou seems to be going to win the first place this time?"
The black-robed little guy pursed his lips and said, "That's not necessarily, the eight leaders have their own strengths, not to mention that there are two big bosses who are good at singing and dancing, Nalan Qian and Miao Keren, who are all sworn to turn the eight leaders into the top ten leaders!" he said, and couldn't help but shake his head: "This time, but Chunlan Qiuju, each has its own good scene, a hundred flowers gather, and the same field is beautiful!"
As he spoke, he sighed, his face full of anticipation.
Just when these two little guys were talking to each other outside, in a small courtyard in the backyard of the Beauty Building, Yu Meiren and Chu Chu and several other pipa musicians were watching Mingzhu play a musical instrument that they were both familiar with and unfamiliar, the five-stringed pipa!
This lute is exactly the same shape as the four strings, but the only difference is that there is an extra string and a bass string, but it is this extra bass string, which makes the music they were familiar with at this time The momentum and taste of the performance have changed dramatically.
Yu Meiren, Chu Chu and these pipa musicians are all experts, so they can naturally hear the changes, and they can understand that although there is only one more string, this has brought earth-shaking changes to the expressiveness of the music!
Mingzhu played a section of Qianshan Xue's new song "General's Banquet" at this time, which is still the description of the earth-shattering battle of Jiuyuan, when Mingzhu played with the five-string pipa, although the expressiveness of the usual sections has its own merits, and even the four-string pipa has more advantages in tactful and melodious, soft chanting and whispering, but once the music enters the part of depicting the battlefield, the resonance and low of the bass strings perfectly improve the expressiveness of the whole piece by several grades.
As the pearl continues to play, the five lines continue to sound at the same time, creating a shocking effect in resonance and momentum, whether it is a poppy or Chu Chu, or several other pipa musicians, at this time, all five bodies are on the ground, looking at the pearl with bright eyes, as if looking at the heavens!
After Mingzhu finished playing the last note, Chu Chu was already so excited that he couldn't bear it, and applauded vigorously, even the reserved poppy couldn't help but step forward, grabbed Mingzhu's hand, and said: "Sister is really a happy immortal!
Chu Chu also nodded vigorously quickly: "Extremely yes! Gongsun is far inferior to Sister Mingzhu! Moreover, how did my sister think of adding this string? This is simply a stroke of genius! With this change, everyone in the world must respect my sister as the ancestor of the five-stringed pipa!"
Yu Meiren said again: "If you want me to say, my sister's song is really good, majestic, passionate and generous, although I have only listened to a paragraph, I already feel that this song is the first of a hundred songs!
Mingzhu felt proud and sad at this time, she held the pipa and bowed slightly to Yu Meiren and Chu Chu and others, she smiled bitterly: "This song is not written by me......"
Yu Meiren's eyes lit up, and she held Mingzhu's hand tightly, and said, "Where did everyone write it?
Mingzhu was silent, and her heart turned upside down: this person is unparalleled in the world and invincible in terms of music and dance talent, but he is also full of evil, and his hands are stained with human life and blood!
It can be said that his death is not a pity!
But...... Do you want to watch his earth-shattering talent be buried like this? Just watch the "General's Banquet" that he painstakingly composed and rehearsed like this?
Mingzhu fought for a while in her heart, she took a deep breath and said, "When I go back and ask, I can answer my sister's ......."
Chu Chu said quickly: "Oh, this is not good, now our beauty building is closed! No one is allowed to ......."
Before she could finish speaking, Yu Meiren stopped her and said, "It's okay, sister, it's okay to go, but it's a very good time now, sister must go and come back quickly, pay more attention to safety." ”
Mingzhu was moved in her heart, and bowed to the poppy with the five-stringed piano.
Chu Chu watched Mingzhu leave, and she whispered to Yu Meiren: "Sister, you are not afraid of her......"
Yu Meiren shook her head and said, "Don't be suspicious, don't be suspicious of employing people! With such earth-shattering talent and ability, she is more than enough to be the head of the Oiran industry, but how can she be a fly camp dog? Don't underestimate her, and don't underestimate me!"
Chu Chu laughed embarrassedly: "It's my sister, my villain's heart." ”
Just when the two were talking and laughing, Mingzhu quietly left from the small gate under the escort of the sturdy guards sent by the beauty building, all the way to the southwest of Shenjing, Mingzhu arrived at the entrance of the slum of this shantytown, jumped out of the carriage, and sped up her pace to go back, she couldn't wait to share the news with Qianshan Xue.
In her opinion, this is the best way for Qianshan Xue to forgive her sins!
However, when Mingzhu was out of breath and pushed open the door with joy on her face, her smile suddenly froze on her face.
