In addition to the three evaluation Confucians sitting in the middle, the other two people on the round stage were Luoyang Ling Yin Han Luzhi, who presided over the event, and Wan Baochang, who evaluated singing and dancing.

Han Luzhi can be said to be a very familiar acquaintance of Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo has a good relationship with Han Luzhi because of Old Man Han.

As for that Wan Bao Chang, although Xiao Mo had not seen it, he also had some understanding of this person. After all, this man is a well-known musician.

This Wan Baochang's identity is a court musician, which sounds like a very good identity, but in fact, the identity and status of this court musician can only be regarded as average in Da Sui at this time.

After all, Yang Jian didn't have time to enjoy music and art at this time, and the founding emperor of the Great Sui was focused on people's livelihood and military affairs at this time. Therefore, although this court musician is not a decoration, it is almost the same, so this Wanbao often sits on the round platform and looks very restrained and nervous.

However, Xiao Mo knows that this person's artistic accomplishment in music is indeed very high, and he is also very famous in history, and he is a real music master.

In the legends of later generations, it is said that this person is good at the unique Xuanwai eight sounds of the fairy palace: gold, stone, silk, bamboo, bamboo, earth, grass, and wood, and is a real immortal.

But now that Xiao Mo saw the real person of Wan Baochang, he didn't believe in that kind of legend.

This Wan Bao is often a true musical genius, and it is not exaggerated to the point that he is an immortal. It's just that this man has some special skills that make his music performance completely different from others.

This treasure is often unique in the pipa, and there is no one who can compare with it in these years. At this time, the tone of the instrument was generally only five tones of Gong Shang Jiao Zhengyu, not the seven tones of later generations.

But this Wan Bao Chang is an exception at this time, he through careful study and exploration of a turtle musician Su Yuanpo performance, discovered the mystery of the seven tones in the music, so that the seven tones into the pipa performance, so that his pipa skills are superb, is completely different from others, the music is born is amazing to the world.

At this time, people don't understand the mystery, and under guessing, they say that Wanbao is often an immortal and is good at the eight tones outside the strings, which is understandable.

But Xiao Mo comes from later generations, and he is familiar with history, so he naturally knows such secrets, plus Xiao Mo himself has studied music, although he is definitely not a musician, but in this year, when it comes to the seven-tone method, Xiao Mo naturally knows better than anyone else.

Among the rumored gimmicks of Sihailou this year, there is Xiao Mo himself singing. Xiao Mo's song is from later generations, that day in the Sihailou and Yun Yuhan practice, ordinary people don't know the mystery, just feel that it sounds like a fairy sound, and it is divine, as if Xiao Mo really went to the fairy palace.

If that song is put here in Wan Bao Chang, I'm afraid that as soon as he hears it, he will know that it contains the mystery of seven tones. It's just that Xiao Mo is a little different from the seven tones that Wan Bao is often good at. In later music, there is usually a high note after the seven tones, and Xiao Mo's song is not just as simple as seven notes, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is eight notes.

As Han Luzhi's introduction ended, after a burst of cheers, the scene fell silent for a while.

Everyone knows in their hearts that the real highlights of the event will be presented one by one.

In the eyes of people's expectant eyes, only nine drums were heard in unison, and then they saw that the buildings and boats of each family were moving slowly and regularly.

In the end, all the ships are facing the direction of the high platform, in a semi-arc in front of the high platform, and the deck of the building ship is opposite to the high platform, and the appearance of the people on the high platform can be seen more clearly at this time.

Mingfeng Pavilion and Meixian Courtyard fell at the apex of this half-arc, and the two families were closest to the high platform, and from the high platform, the people on the decks of these two buildings were also the clearest. The rest of the houses were lined up to the left and right of these two houses, and they were far away from the high platform in turn.

This kind of ranking method is not a special case, but it is the same every year, and whoever ranks high will naturally be at the top. The presentation of each building ship is very spectacular when viewed from the high platform on the shore. As for the real dragon boat race, it's not really the point.

There is also a certain amount of attention to this way of ranking. First, it can highlight the status of each family, and secondly, even if it is the front-end building boat, there is a certain distance from the high platform. In this arrangement, whether it is the people on the high platform or the people on the boats of each building, they can clearly see the scene of the performance.

Xiao Mo was not surprised by the ranking of the various building boats at this time, because the beginning of the drum and flower picking was not directly the talented Wenbi and the dragon boat crossing, and the front of the beginning of this grand event was the performance of the major families. It is also the most attractive link in addition to Wenbi.

The top names of each house are either dressed in costumes or energetic costumes, dancing on the high platform in front of the deck of the ship, which is a pleasure for anyone. And this enjoyment still comes in turns, and each is different. Therefore, this performance session has also become a wonderful link for each family.

After the buildings and boats were stabilized, the people on both sides of the strait couldn't help but start shouting and cheering.

It's just that compared to other families, Sihailou's fan group is the least, and in comparison, Sihailou's voice is naturally the smallest.

This phenomenon is naturally inevitably related to the rules set by Sihailou itself. Xiao Mo remembered that when he went to Sihailou for the first time, he was told by Wang Zhiming that there were non-literati in Sihailou, and high-ranking officials and nobles were not allowed to enter. In the words of later generations, Sihailou positioned itself in a high-end consumption place and did not receive ordinary people. Such rules naturally make Sihailou lack grassroots support for a long time.

Sihailou, which lacks the mass foundation, although it is not much worse than the four courtyards, but over the years, Sihailou has stopped before the title of the courtyard, and has never won the title of the courtyard. Those most famous talents are not fools, and the best way to make a name for themselves is naturally to choose the top-ranked Qinglou.

After such a cycle, it will only become more and more difficult for Sihailou to be called a compound. This is also the reason why Sihailou wants to press on Xiao Mo's body this year, and tries his best to build momentum before beating the drum and picking flowers.

At this time, the boats are arranged like this, which means that the drum picking festival has begun.
