Volume 1: Luoyang in the Troubled Times Chapter 27 On Talent and Wine Tasting (4)

"Come on, get on the piano!"

When Guo De heard the order, he immediately asked people to take more than 30 Yaoqin and put them in front of everyone standing on the table.

"Talents, which one will come first?"

Li Zhi made a cameo appearance as a master of ceremonies

"Under Sun Wei and Sun Bo'an, I am the first to offer ugliness"

Standing out of the crowd, a man spoke loudly

"A song of mountains and rivers for everyone to enjoy"

As he spoke, he sat down cross-legged in front of Yaoqin

"Buzz...... Wow......"

There was a sound of the piano, although I don't know whether it's good or bad, after all, Li Zhi doesn't understand this, but it's quite pleasant to listen to.

"Wow......"

The last syllable fell, and Sun Wei stood tall and looked at Cai Yong with expectant eyes

"Please comment on Cai Gong"

Cai Yong nodded when he heard this, and thought about the language for a while

"The virtuous nephew has only learned the piano in recent years, right?"

"Cai Gong Mingjian, but this is the case, Wei Nai started learning the piano three years ago"

He nodded slightly

"The talent of the virtuous nephew Qin Dao is very good, but unfortunately it is a little late"

Speaking of which, Cai Yong looked at him with some regret.

Hearing what Cai Yong said, Sun Wei was not disappointed, but said very freely

"Cai Gong doesn't have to feel sorry for Zaixia, he has spent all his time learning the piano to study."

"It's just that although I have read a lot of books in recent years, there are still many doubts that have not been solved"

"The younger generation learns the piano, just to bypass the class"

Cai Yong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he praised it greatly

"Playthings without losing heart, virtuous nephews are kind."

"If the virtuous nephew has time in the future, he can discuss the lyrics and music with the old man."

"Junior, thank you Cai Gong"

Sun Wei was very happy when he heard this.

"But who else wants to come up and play a song for everyone?"

"...... so-and-so"

Time is like water, gradually flowing away, and before you know it, most of the more than 30 people have finished playing.

Including Cao Cao and Yuan Shao, they also went up to play a song.

There was only one last man left, and he came forward and saluted the people.

"Down there is Du Kui Du Gongliang

A song of Guanglingsan, everyone laughs at chat"

I saw him walk to the piano and sit down, first closed his eyes and thought for a moment, calmed down, and began to play.

"Wow......"

As soon as the piano sounded, the originally noisy venue slowly quieted down.

Even the people who watched the excitement from the periphery stopped talking and listened quietly to him playing the piano.

Playing slowly in front of the kiss, a picture slowly appeared in everyone's minds.

How a man full of grief and indignation is grief-stricken.

then get up and lie down to taste the courage, and finally there is the kind of joy after revenge.

These stories are presented in everyone's minds little by little through the sound of the piano.

"Whew..."

The last note fell, and the whole room fell silent.

"Hoo ......"

Cai Yong was the first to come to his senses and let out a sigh of relief

"The ancients were cloudy, and they circled the beam for three days without stopping

The old man didn't believe this, but now he feels the same way.

One of the virtuous nephews said, in order to surpass the old man" Speaking of this, he was quite emotional.

"Don't dare, Cai Gongmiao praised it"

Du Kui said modestly

At this time, everyone in the venue slowly came back to their senses and breathed a sigh of relief.

And the more than 30 people who participated in the competition all looked at Du Kui with complicated eyes, and they knew in their hearts that they had lost.

At this time, Cao Cao said with some regret on his face

"This contest is my loss, do you have any opinions?"

"I'm convinced"

Everyone replied, although there was some regret on Cao Cao's face, but Du Kui was so skilled that the others had nothing to say.

"You have conceded,"

Du Kui saluted everyone.

"Today's piano is a competition, with Du Kui and Du Gongliang as respect, you can have opinions"

Cai Yong asked everyone at this time

"We have no opinion, Qin Yidao, Brother Gongliang has indeed become superb."

At this time, Yuan Shao opened his mouth and sighed

"In this way, the honor of today's piano is a good and virtuous nephew"

"Congratulations to the virtuous nephew"

Cai Yong announced, and then asked Du Kui

"Gongliang and virtuous nephews don't have to participate in other competitions"

"I'm only good at piano skills, and I'm not a mess of anything else, so I'm no longer ugly."

"So please come to the stage and sit under the old man."

After Du Kui came to power, Li Zhi spoke to everyone

"Today's time is urgent, and the painting will start with the chess, do you have any questions?"

As soon as Li Zhi's voice fell, he heard someone ask

"What if there is one more person when I wait for two to play against each other?"

"Everyone who participates is decided by lot, and if someone has a bye, he is lucky, and others can't say anything

Do you have any other questions? ”

Seeing that everyone was silent

"If not, those who want to participate in the game of chess can come to the next place and draw their opponents"

Hearing this, one after another, about twenty or thirty people walked out.

After everyone finished drawing lots and sat in front of the chessboard in pairs, Li Zhi asked Cai Yong

"Cai Gong, what is this painting?"

Cai Yong pondered for a moment when he heard this, and then stroked his beard

"Since the chess and painting are competing in the same game, then it is convenient to draw a way, let him wait for the chess drawings of the scholars."

Li Zhiyan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he admired Cai Yong.

"Cai Gong is really talented, this method is very wonderful!"

After that, he faced the audience

"If you want to participate in the painting, you can stand up now"

After talking to everyone, he went to a few cases himself.

When the crowd got up, there were about fifty or sixty people.

One by one, the servants put pens, ink, paper, and inkstones in front of everyone.

"Cai Gong's question is, all the scholars are playing chess."

"When one of the chess players decides the winner, I can't draw a pen, so let's start now."

After speaking, Li Zhi leaned over and drew on top of several cases.

I saw that he first looked at the person playing chess.

Then he drew a rough outline on the paper with charcoal, silently calculated the proportions in his mind, and then began to write and draw.

Time passed bit by bit, but one of the games came to an end.

"Whew...... I conceded it. ”

One of them wiped the sweat from his forehead and arched his hand

"Thank you brother for your mercy"

The people who played against him were also sweating profusely.

But he didn't bother to wipe it, just stared at the chessboard with his eyes, and finally sat down on the ground as if deflated.

"When...... When ......"

A gong sounded, but it was Guo De who saw that the two had already decided the winner.

He struck a small gong to remind the painters that the time had come.

"Hoo ......"

Li Zhizhi exhaled deeply when he heard the sound of the gong, and wiped the sweat on his forehead,

Holding the scroll in both hands, looking at his work, he nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Guo Debian led a group of servants to collect the paintings.

After Li Zhi handed over the painting to Guo De, he stretched his waist and looked at the place where he was playing.

Although several groups of opponents have already decided the winner, more than half of them are still being killed.

He shook his head when he saw this, and thought to himself, this is only the first round, and he doesn't know if he can decide a chess venerable today.

Just when Li Zhi was thinking wildly, Cai Yong was also seriously reviewing every painting.

I saw that every time he turned over a painting, his face changed.

I saw that sometimes he was smiling, sometimes he was frowning.

The most interesting thing is that there is a painting that makes him angry, and I don't know what kind of painting can make a good old man like him angry.

He flipped through the pages and froze when he saw a painting.

He held the scroll in both hands, staring blankly at the vivid figure above, and his heart was very shocked.

"How can you still draw like that?"

Some muttered in disbelief, and then as if thinking of something, he quickly looked up at the painting, where the name was written.

I saw two big characters written crookedly on it

Li Zhi
