Chapter 9 Fei Xue Pavilion and the Piano Master

As the country of Yan, Jicheng is the residence of many dignitaries and nobles, and the carriages and horses of officials can be seen everywhere.

Vendors on both sides of the road are shouting and beckoning pedestrians.

Ye Chen led the horse through the streets, looking at the surrounding scene with great interest, while looking for an inn and other places to stay.

However, the strange thing is that the inn, which was originally sparsely crowded, has been overcrowded in recent days, and almost all the nearby residences have been booked in advance.

After some inquiry, I learned that the reason why such a thing happened was because of the arrival of a woman.

This person's name is Snow Girl, and she is a world-famous dancing girl, with a beautiful dancing posture and a mastery of music, poetry, and books, and is the object of coveted by countless male creatures.

It's just that because the Snow Girl was born in Zhao Kingdom, many people have not been able to see the beauty.

And just a few days ago, the first dancer of Zhao Kingdom left Zhao Land for some reason, came to Yan Kingdom, and spent a lot of money to buy a delicate building in the most prosperous area of Jicheng City, named Feixue Pavilion.

It was also announced that the Snow Maiden would appear in the Concubine Snow Pavilion in half a moon and perform a dance.

As soon as the news came out, countless people came to see the demeanor of Yan Zhao's first dancing girl. There are even many people who spend a lot of money to charter the surrounding inns in order to be close to the water.

Among them, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries, as well as businessmen who gather wealth, which shows how attractive this dancing girl is.

The arrival of the Snow Girl made Jicheng even more lively, many people were talking about it, and hearing the conversation on the streets, Ye Chen also had some interest in this legendary Yan Zhao No. 1 Dancing Girl.

After inquiring for a while, he knew where the Feixue Pavilion was, and after walking along the street for a while, he saw a magnificent attic in the center of the most trafficked section.

On the plaque are written three beautiful characters "Concubine Snow Pavilion".

When he saw the Feixue Pavilion, Ye Chen's expression moved slightly, and at this time, there was a long queue in front of the door of the Feixue Pavilion for some reason, and there were dozens of people.

When I walked over, I saw that everyone waiting in line was holding a guqin in their hands, which seemed to be the qinist, but why did so many qinists gather here?

Then he stepped forward and asked, "I wonder what happened here?" ”

The little guy guarding the door was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, and when he heard the question, he looked at the former, and saw that he was well-dressed and decent, and his temperament was refined, and he knew that he was not an ordinary person.

He replied very politely: "Xiao Langjun doesn't know, my master, the Snow Girl, plans to perform dance skills in this Concubine Snow Pavilion in a few days, but there is still a lack of a musician who is good at piano skills, so I want to hire a candidate in Jicheng." ”

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows: "Could it be that these are all people who want to be selected as a pianist?" ”

"Exactly, my master has extremely high requirements for the violinist, and ordinary musicians can't get into her eyes."

When the little guy said this, several men holding the guqin walked out of the door, with a look of loss, obviously not selected.

After being eliminated, a few more people walked in, but it didn't take long for them to walk out with a lonely look, and then a few more people entered......

Ye Chen's face moved slightly, he looked at these unsuccessful piano masters, and found that their fingers were all slender and agile, and they must have a certain level in piano skills, but they were all turned away, it seems that this snow girl's vision is really quite high.

According to this method of selection, I am afraid that the entire Jicheng may not be able to find a person who meets the requirements.

But this has nothing to do with him, he still has to find a place to eat first, and it is formal to have a beautiful meal, and his stomach is already empty after a long day's journey.

Thinking of this, he led his horse out of the place and walked towards a tavern not far away.

Half an hour later, Ye Chen was full of wine and food, and continued to look for a place to stay, but after looking for a while, there was still no vacant room.

I didn't expect that I would be lucky enough to meet a village in the barren mountains, but after coming to the capital of Yan Kingdom, I couldn't find a place to stay.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen also showed a slightly bitter smile.

led the horse past the Feixue Pavilion again, and at this time the violinists in front of the door were gone, and the little maid stood outside the door with some distress.

Ye Chen opened his mouth and asked, "I don't know if the Snow Girl has chosen a suitable pianist?" ”

Hearing this, the little girl shook his head: "My master said that it is better to be lacking than rotten, if the qin music is not worthy of her dance, it is better not to have it." ”

Hearing this, Ye Chen became even more curious about this snow girl, and wanted to see what kind of character the other party was.

At this moment, his expression moved, as if he had thought of something, and asked, "I don't know what the reward is for becoming a violinist of the Feixue Pavilion?" ”

"Thirty gold a month."

The little guy replied.

In this era, one gold can make a family of five worry about food and clothing within a month, and 30 gold is already a fairly high salary.

Ye Chen said: "I'm asking if the bag includes food and accommodation?" ”

Hearing this question, the little maid was also a little surprised, but he still nodded and replied: "As the pianist in the pavilion, the food and accommodation are naturally borne by the Feixue Pavilion." ”

When Ye Chen heard this, he smiled slightly: "In this case, maybe I can give it a try, it seems interesting to be a pianist." ”

The little guy was a little surprised: "You are also a luthier?" ”

"Why, isn't it like?" Ye Chen opened his arms and asked.

The little guy looked at it for a while, and replied very seriously: "No, looking at your dress, you should be a scholar, right?" ”

Ye Chen smiled: "Your vision is good, I am indeed a scholar, but who said that a scholar can't be a pianist, can't you want to play the piano when you're tired of reading?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Wu was also stunned for a moment, it was the first time he had seen such a wanton scholar, and he said that he would change his career.

However, he didn't turn the other party away, after all, all the applicants were eliminated, and it was nothing to have one more person to try.

A maid walked out of the pavilion, came to Ye Chen's side, bowed slightly, and said, "Sir, please come with me." ”

Ye Chen nodded, and then followed the maid who led the way into the Concubine Xue Pavilion.

The decoration in the pavilion is luxurious and not vulgar, and the delicacy reveals an elegant charm, which shows that the owner here should not be worldly, and has a very high taste.

On top of an elegant round platform, a table and cushion are placed in front of you, apparently for musical instruments.

"Sir, please be seated."

A particularly beautiful voice came, this sound was as wonderful as a pearl falling on a jade plate, with the faint coldness, there was a sense of detachment that did not eat the fireworks of the world.
