Chapter Ninety-Three: Qin and Chess
Lianbu moved slightly, Master Li walked to the center of the wooden platform, and saluted the scholars under the stage, she wanted to greet the scholars with a smile like her sisters, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't wring out that expression after all, and she couldn't say that kind of words, as if her words should only be said to one person.
Since he couldn't speak, Master Li simply knelt on the futon in front of him, ready to stroke the qin, this is the practice of Tianxianglou, every geisha who welcomes guests for the first time must choose two performances in the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, she naturally can't make an exception, and don't prove to others your talent first, who knows how much ink you have in your stomach, and why should others like you......
Exhaling slowly, Master Li stroked the piano lightly with his bare hands, and the sound of the piano rippled from her fingertips.
After thinking of the prelude, the scholars couldn't help but be stunned, Master Li actually played "Guangling San", the melody of this piece is passionate and generous, it is a piece of music with a killing and fighting atmosphere, the general geisha will not play this song, because it is not easy to control, it is difficult to play the charm of the song, it is far better to play some elegant tunes, not to say, and suitable for green. Love in the building. Move.
The sound of the piano, the mysterious tune, from her fingertips overwhelmingly rolled around, like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, the sound of the piano wave after wave into the hearts of everyone, just a moment, the expressions of the scholars have changed, or solemn, or surprised, or stunned...... No one could have imagined that her seemingly delicate hands could play such a soul-stirring music.
Master Li's slender ten fingers jumped and danced on the strings, sometimes soothing and sometimes rapid with the tune, and the deep gaze always swept over Lin Xifeng's body, and disappeared in a flash, every glance of this short time seemed to bring her some strength, as if this qin song was not for everyone, but for one person.
At the end of the song, Master Li withdrew his jade hand, his eyelids drooped slightly, and his hands gently stroked the surface of the piano, not knowing whether he was thinking about his thoughts, or reminiscing about the charm of this qin song alone.
The soldiers in the audience were still immersed in this beautiful music, and there was a brief silence in the courtyard, and then almost at the same time there was thunderous applause, and the applause came one after another.
"Good! This is the best "Guangling San" I have ever heard! It's heavenly! ”
"Miss Shishi is really beautiful and wise, and her beauty is unique!"
"Today, I am fortunate to be able to witness Miss Shishi's boudoir and live up to the good night!"
“……”
Listening to everyone's applause, Master Li still hung his head indifferently, his eyes wandered on the strings, and he didn't say a word, compared to the hypocritical promise of pretending to laugh, her slightly indifferent expression was even more arousing everyone's **, the more people who don't want to laugh, the more people will feel how precious it is for her to laugh once.
After a while, when the noise of everyone stopped, Master Li turned his head to look at the maid guarding the right side of the wooden platform, and beckoned to her gently, and immediately a maid came to the stage to move the guqin away and replace it with a pair of chess.
Master Li raised his head slightly, glanced at the people in the audience, opened his mouth slightly, and after a few efforts, her crisp voice sounded: "I don't know which son...... I am willing to discuss chess with my teacher. ”
Hearing her beautiful ethereal and crisp sound, the audience immediately became commotion again, Master Li put her eyes on the chessboard, she didn't need to look at everyone's expressions, she also knew what they were thinking in their hearts, it was nothing more than Cheng Huan who got her on the bed. Bad thing, her delicate. How wonderful would it be to gasp and moan...... These usually sanctimonious scholars have something in their hearts, and she has heard her sisters who are red people say many times.
"I am willing to give 500 essays and discuss chess with Miss Shishi."
"Seven hundred texts are under the order!"
"I'll pay all the money!"
“……”
The voices of the audience competing for prices come and go, and the prices are higher than one another, which is also the rule of Tianxianglou, if you want to play chess with geisha on stage, you have to compare prices.
Seeing everyone's rising emotions, Master Li hesitated slightly, and after a while, he lightly opened his red lips: "Presumably, there are also people with superb chess skills among your sons, so you can choose one to play chess with your master!" ”
When everyone heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and the noise suddenly became dumb, Master Li's meaning is obvious, if you want to play chess, you have to play with people with superb chess skills, she doesn't want people who don't know how to play chess with her, no matter how high the bid is.
"Then let Wang Huan and Wang Gongzi discuss the chess skills of Miss Teacher!" I don't know who suddenly said such a sentence.
"Well, Wang Gongzi's chess skills are also quite famous in Hangzhou City, and he also agrees to let him come to power."
"There is no objection to the same."
“……”
After a while, the scholars also chose a candidate, and a young man in a blue shirt stood up with a smile, hugged his fists and said with a smile: "Wang is recommended by you, then please ask the teacher and the girl to give advice." ”
After speaking, Wang Huan slowly walked up to the wooden platform with a folding fan in his hand and sat down opposite Master Li.
"Please go first!" Master Li didn't have the slightest politeness and went straight to the point.
"Uh......" Poor Wang Huan's words of appreciation were blocked by Master Li before he could say anything, and when he saw the black chess pieces in the chess jar in front of him, he knew that he had let himself go first, so he laughed dryly and picked up a piece of the board.
Master Li didn't say a word, and followed closely behind, and in this way, the two kept crossing and falling.
Wang Huan's mind is basically not on the chessboard, every time he falls, he raises his head to admire the beauty opposite, although through the white veil, but so close, he can still see a little bit of Master Li's face outline, the delicate red lips are particularly dazzling, Wang Huan's little heart is pounding, after all, Master Li is out of the boudoir for the first time today, not to mention the body, it is estimated that even the little hands have not been touched.
The only regret for Wang Huan was that Master Li's attention was always on the chessboard, and he didn't raise his head to look at him from beginning to end, and his appearance of pretending to be elegant and waving a folding fan was in vain.
Playing chess in Wang Huan's state, let alone Master Li, who knows chess well, even a person with a higher average chess skill can beat him, after a cup of tea, Wang Huan was defeated, and hugged his fists with a smile: "Miss Shishi's chess skills are really extraordinary, and she is convinced of losing." ”
"Bang Bang!" The audience resounded with the applause of all the scholars, and naturally it was a great compliment.
Master Li picked up the chess pieces one by one and put them back into the chess jar, his eyes kept rotating between the chess pieces and the chess jar, but he never refused to raise his head, but said softly: "Wang Gongzi's chess skills are good, and the master is just a fluke win, if it is a few more games, the master may not have such good luck." ”
After saying this, Master Li turned around and beckoned to the maid, signaling her to come up to the stage and retreat the chessboard, which obviously meant to Wang Huan, I am going to continue the next performance, and you should go down too.
When Wang Huan saw this, he knew that Master Li was not interested in him, and if he was interested, he would naturally take the initiative to talk to him, and then he could only laugh dryly and retreat.
Master Li stood up from the futon, vacated the seat and asked the maid to clean up the chessboard, and then raised his faint eyes to look at the scholars in the audience: "Today is the first time that the master welcomes guests, and the state has not been adjusted to the best, so let's perform the qin and chess for the time being!" Xingshu, painting, singing, and music will be presented to you another day, and it is time to announce the best answer to today's question, as for which son, the first son, and the teacher chooses it......"
