Chapter 576: Classical Music Expert
A vigorous flame is rising in the fireplace in the wall, and the mischievous flames are cheering on the charcoal, but if you look closely, you will find that the so-called fireplace is just a huge LCD screen built in the wall, and these false flames are not for heating, but simply to set off the atmosphere.
A handsome young man in a tuxedo was standing by the 'fireplace', and at the moment he was leaning his shoulders and chin against a violin, closing his eyes and pulling the bow, and playing a soothing violin song on the strings.
The principal and the duchess sat at the head of the table, Alice naturally sat at the table next to her mother, and Hao Meng, Qianyu and others could only succumb to the lower positions.
For this separate sitting, Hao Meng took the initiative to choose, completely in accordance with the order of seating in the British dining etiquette, and it was not random sitting at all.
And this long dining table, is full of all kinds of tempting delicacies, in addition to Longhua delicacies, even according to the palace standards, there is a roast suckling pig, but the strange thing is that these obviously make people look at the index finger, can't help but pounce on the delicious food, everyone here is slow and methodical to taste, even the sound of chewing things everyone try not to make out, using tableware to eat every move can not be said to be elegant.
As for the little Lori who sits at the table to eat, her standardized and elegant manners, her every move can be called a textbook model.
In fact, at the dinner table, it is possible to really examine whether a person has the quality of aristocratic recuperation, and the duchess is not really hungry, but wants to see if this little girl has any background through table manners.
To the Duchess's surprise, from the current point of view, this very young girl has maintained a very high manners from beginning to end, and there is no flaw in etiquette at all, even compared with those noble ladies and princesses in the royal family of her country who have been forced to educate since childhood, she is not inferior at all!
It can be seen that this cute-looking little girl is probably also a noble family with a background behind her, otherwise it is absolutely impossible for ordinary children to have such cultivation at a young age......
This made the duchess can't help but be curious about Xiao Lori, put down the chopsticks in her hand that she was not used to, wiped her mouth, turned her head to look at Hao Meng, and suddenly asked a question.
"I heard my daughter say that you are highly accomplished in music, so I wonder if you can hear what kind of music you are playing now?"
"Mother~"
Alice frowned, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said to the Duchess a little unhappily.
"People are in the field of ACG music, and if you don't understand classical music, don't be embarrassed for her."
It's no wonder that Alice is so nervous, she remembers the scene when the teacher asked Hao Meng about the name of the song in music class, it is obvious that little Lori doesn't know anything about classical music, this question is not right at all, I am afraid that it will only make Hao Meng unable to answer and be embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Alice hurriedly turned her head and cast a distressed glance at Qian Yu beside Hao Meng, hoping that she, who has a deep knowledge of classical music, can hint at the answer to Xiao Lori.
However, Qian Yu didn't notice Alice's eyes at this moment, and at this moment she also put down the tableware in her hand, and turned her head to look at the little Lori beside her with the same interest and expectation, as if she was very confident in this opponent who had defeated her on the piano.
This scene made Alice anxious, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Hao Meng worriedly.
But who knew that Hao Meng not only did not have a trace of embarrassment on his face when he heard this, but took out a handkerchief and elegantly wiped the corners of his mouth that were not greasy at all, put down his handkerchief and replied slowly in a standard London accent.
"This is Mozart's Serenade for Strings in G major, Duchess, am I right?"
After speaking, Xiao Lori turned her head to look at the noble duchess with a smile, and this answer was naturally exchanged for a satisfied nod from the other party.
Bang Bang Bang ......
The old man of the principal suddenly raised his hand and clapped his hands a few times at this time, he was not applauding for Hao Meng's wonderful answer, but turned his head to look at the violinist while applauding, his eyes were clearly indicating something.
The violinist nodded to the principal, and then the music changed, and the soothing music suddenly became cheerful.
And the Duchess turned her head to Hao Meng again and took out an inquiring gaze.
"Bach's Brandenburg Concerto"
Hao Meng just listened to the prelude for a while, and then blurted out without thinking.
The principal was slightly stunned when he heard this, as if he was very surprised, and then he hurriedly clapped his hands at the violinist and motioned for the other party to sing the next song.
"The first movement of "Spring" from Vivaldi's Violin Concerto "The Four Seasons", ......"
"Dvořák's Symphony No. 9, From the New World, Fourth Movement! Burn the Divine Comedy! Everyone who plays HIFI knows it! ”
"This is Schubert's 'Trout' third movement of Schubert's quintet in A major, 'Humor'......"
"Haha, I know this! Elgar's "Majestic March" may be a coincidence, as far as I know, there is an ACG song in the second metaverse that is also called "Majestic and Powerful"......"
After speaking, Hao Meng picked up the crystal goblet containing Sprite and shook it, and took a sip calmly and elegantly.
……
The reason why Hao Meng was able to quickly answer the correct answer was not that she was really an expert in classical music, but that she relied on the system at this time to provide the answer.
The system comes with a function that is equivalent to the music playback software on the mobile phone'Listen to the song and recognize the song',Whenever the violin plays music,As soon as the prelude melody comes out,The system suddenly lists a dense and explosive song information about the music in front of Hao Meng,From the score to the author's information to the anecdotes and allusions during creation,It's even more detailed than the content on Wikipedia。
Thanks to the credit of AR holography, only Hao Meng can see these answers, and others don't know that someone is blatantly cheating, so they are naturally in the dark.
The reason why she was able to eat at the table before was elegant and calm, in fact, it was all due to the system's AR prompt demonstration.
At this moment, the strong convenience of the system upgrade is fully reflected!
The old man of the principal stopped clapping, he glanced at Xiao Lori deeply, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and continued to eat with his head bored, his clapping hands hurt; And the violinist was also tired, and the depressed expression on his face that looked at the principal was clearly saying, 'Principal, who are you trying to test?' ’
The Duchess's face was full of surprise, as if Hao Meng's extensive knowledge had opened her eyes; Qian Yu nodded secretly from the sidelines, as if Xiao Lori's performance was expected by her, and there was a trace of pride on her face.
As for Alice...... Now her demeanor is not elegant at all......
Staring at the elegant and calm little Lori, she was dumbfounded, and she could almost stuff a duck egg in her mouth, but fortunately, this indecent scene was not seen by the Duchess who was staring at the little Lori with appreciative eyes, otherwise it would definitely make the noble Duchess feel shameless.
In shock, Alice didn't realize her gaffe, and she was horrified at the moment.
Hao Meng...... When did she become an expert in classical music?
Or is it ...... When she was in music class, she didn't know anything about classical music, but she was actually pretending?! She herself really has a deep knowledge of classical music at a young age?
Oh, my God! How many secrets does Hao Meng still have to hide from us! Isn't there enough surprise?
