Soon, the Thousand Autumn Festival is coming.

The Thousand Autumn Festival is the birthday of the emperor, and the Sheng Country has the custom of sacrificing the Thousand Autumn Festival every ten years.

That is, every ten years, the emperor needs to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens on the Thousand Autumn Festival to comfort the heavens and pray for the well-being of all people.

And this year, it is just in time for the once-in-a-decade festival to worship the heavens.

The Chongwen Museum was selected this time to perform for the festival ceremony.

The festival is so majestic that 12 people, six men and six women, will be selected as the main instrument players, and the rest will also be required to participate, playing the tambourine or tambourine with their hands, and singing the poems in unison.

"Sister Yan, what kind of instrument are you going to play in the sacrificial music?"

After Zhen Yu got the news, he rushed to Yan Ran and asked.

Yan Ran smiled and said: "It's not necessarily whether you choose or not, how can you play whatever I want?" ”

Zhen Zhen looked like a matter of course, and said firmly: "With Sister Yan's talent, no matter what kind of instrument you can use, of course you can play anything!" ”

Yan Ran didn't answer and asked, "What about you?" ”

Zhen Yu showed a look of loss, and his originally cheerful tone lowered: "With my body, if I get sick in the process of sacrificing music, wouldn't it be a big taboo?" If I am qualified to go on stage, I can only mix in the crowd and shake the tambourine. ”

Zhen Yu said, and said with a smile on her face: "However, as long as Sister Yan can be selected, it is the same as me being selected, I will cheer you up below!" ”

Yan Ran looked at Zhen Zhen's expectant appearance, and after all, she couldn't bear to say that she didn't want to participate in the festival music performance.

Since her rebirth, every step Yan Ran has taken has been to pave the way for revenge, and if it weren't for the situation, she just wanted to keep a low profile.

Now, she has attracted Xiao Zun's attention, and she doesn't want to be too publicized and be targeted by anyone again.

But in the face of Zhen Zhen's earnest gaze, Yan Ran didn't want to disappoint her, so she still went to register.

Yan Ran chose the piano, but unfortunately Cui Jingshi also chose the piano.

Yan Ran's piano skills are outstanding, and Cui Jingshi is not far behind, but there is only one place, so the master asked the two to compete and be admitted on the basis of merit.

Cui Jingshi regards Yan Ran as an enemy, and during the competition, the music style is fierce and aggressive, which is always difficult to connect.

Yan Ran's style of music is wide and inclusive, like a highly elastic net, softly wrapping the knife stabbed by Cui Jingshi.

The two of them fight the piano, Hanmu Chunhua, regardless of superiority.

In the end, the master chose Cui Jingshi as the pianist for this festival.

Zhen Yu expressed indignation at this result: "I obviously think that Sister Yan plays better, why did the master choose Cui Jingshi?" ”

Yan Ran said: "Previously, every time there was music in the school, Cui Jingshi was the leader. The festival is not a joke, for the sake of safety, it is natural to choose someone with more experience. ”

Hearing Yan Ran's words, Zhen Yu's anger also dissipated, and he proposed: "Then Sister Yan will play the Zheng or Se!" ”

Yan Ran was a little embarrassed.

She is good at playing the piano and zheng, but she is not proficient in Yu Se and pipa.

However, the county lord of Min'an was good at zheng, and Yan Ran was unwilling to compete with her, so she gave up her qualification to play other musical instruments.

Yan Ran thought that her defeat had been decided, but she was still named by her master.

"Shang Yingying, Yan Ran, strike the bell."

Yan Ran was almost choked by the breath she exhaled, and looked at Han Xi who made the final decision in surprise and dissatisfaction.

She has never been willing to see Han Xi, so is this a personal vendetta from him?

Although bells and drums are the main performers and supplemented by other musical instruments, the bells and drums are placed at the end because of their large size, and the bell-strikers need to walk back and forth with a mallet and face away from the audience.

It is precisely because of this that Han Xi can only catch the strong man and forcibly arrange Yan Ran to the position of striking the bell.

Han Xi is a master after all, Yan Ran is not good at refuting in person, so he can only find him privately and express his idea of not wanting to participate in the festival.

Han Xi said: "The bell ringer not only needs to be proficient in music, but also needs to be physically strong, and I see that among all the girls, you are the only one who is up to the task." ”

Yan Ran was angry, daring to love Han Xi This is turning a corner and saying that she is stronger than the girl next to her, is she obviously very slender?

She huffed angrily: "No wonder Master Xu doesn't look down on you!" ”

This sentence was still very lethal to Han Xi, which made him very sad for a while.

Yan Ran was very disgusted with striking the bell, but Zhen Yu was very envious: "Sister Yan, the sacrificial music is the music of bells and drums, and you have played the most important role, which is really amazing!" ”

What else could Yan Ran say, she could only obediently go to the piano room to practice the ensemble under Zhen Zhen's adoring gaze.

When she came to the piano room, Yan Ran's eyes turned around and found that all the people in the room were acquaintances.

The East Chamber, led by Liu Fuzi, selected male students were Wen Rong'an, Wen Chengyan, Su Yu, Mu Changfeng, Song Xinhong and Shen Yu.

In addition to being obsessed with Danqing, Yu Xunle also has a lot of research.

He was supposed to be wholeheartedly preparing for his wedding with Xiao Se at home, and he was specially invited by the curator to participate in the festival.

The West Chamber's side was led by Xu Fuzi, and the selected female students were Yan Ran, Yan Yao, Min'an County Lord, Shang Yingying, Cui Jingshi, and Zheng Wan'er, who was good friends with him.

Han Xi, as the master of the music, is also the arranger of this festival music, and he conducts the ensemble.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, the three masters discussed and began to practice in the ensemble.

Although everyone has their own strengths, because it is the first time to play in an ensemble, there is no tacit understanding, and the effect is very scattered, and it cannot show the momentum that the festival music should have.

Cui Jingshi stood up suddenly, with a gloomy face, and pointed directly at Yan Ran: "Miss Yan, the sacrificial music is the music of bells and drums, and the two set the tone. How do we play the bell music in a chaotic manner? ”

Yan Ran was suddenly named and accused by Cui Jingshi, and she was a little stunned for a while.

Shang Yingying's face turned red and felt embarrassed, but she could only endure her anger and explained: "Miss Cui, I didn't use my strength, so I went out of tune, and it was none of Miss Yan's business." ”

Cui Jingshi choked, she looked at Shang Yingying with a straight face, didn't say anything, turned around and sat down.

Cui Jingshi's intention against Yan Ran was too obvious, which made the atmosphere of the entire piano room fall into embarrassment.

Han Xi asked Xu Fuzi, "Why don't you take a rest first?" ”

Xu Fuzi nodded, and the students walked around with each other and chatted.

Han Xi rarely had the opportunity to get close to Xu Fuzitao, so he pestered her under the pretext of asking for advice.

Yan Ran saw that Shang Yingying had put down the gavel and was rubbing her sore arm, and walked over to her and said, "Zhong Le is crisp and melodious, and you don't need to spend a lot of effort to hit. When you try to strike the bell, it should be much easier to flick your wrist lightly instead of using the strength of your arms. ”

Yan Ran said, glanced to the side, and said deliberately: "In the same way, drumming does not rely on brute force, but with skill, and it has to be beaten on the rhythm." ”

Wen Rong'an pursed his lips and smiled lightly when he heard this, and looked at Mu Changfeng with Yan Ran.

Mu Changfeng, who was using the drumstick as a long spear, realized that Yan Ran was mocking him, so he said: "Yes, I beat the drum music into a war drum and dragged everyone back, right?" ”

Shang Yingying used to be good friends with Yan Yao, and she targeted Yan Ran for this.

Now seeing that Yan Ran took the initiative to teach her how to strike the bell, she was feeling cramped, but she couldn't help laughing when she saw Mu Changfeng squeezing her eyebrows and eyes in a weird yin and yang on the side.

Shang Yingying tried it according to the method Yan Ran said, and the results were very good.

While a few people were talking and laughing, Wen Chengyan came over without looking at him.

He brought pastries and sweet soup, and said to Yan Ran flatteringly: "Cousin Ran, you should be tired after playing for so long, right?" Grab a bite to eat and take a break! ”

Shang Yingying knew that the two had made a marriage, and she was about to leave quietly to leave them alone space, but Yan Ran grabbed her arm.

Yan Ran lowered her eyes slightly, and said coldly: "Thank you little grandpa for your kindness, I'm not hungry, thirsty, or tired." ”

Yan Ran's merciless refusal made Wen Chengyan very embarrassed, and his face was a little unbearable.

Shang Yingying was puzzled, thinking that the two of them had made an awkward quarrel, and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but when she saw Mu Changfeng's long arm, she snatched the food box in Wen Chengyan's hand.

Mu Changfeng said with a smile: "I'm hungry, thank you little grandfather!" ”

Mu Changfeng said, eating things like a whirlwind.

After eating, he patted his stomach quite comfortably and hiccuped.

Wen Chengyan was hindered by his bad identity, and left with a blue face.

As soon as Wen Chengyan left, Mu Changfeng complained to Yan Ran: "It's all your fault, the young master originally wanted to eat less and lose weight, but now he has eaten so much!" ”

Yan Ran was skeptical about this: "It's okay to ignore him, I think you just want to find an excuse to eat, right?" ”

Mu Changfeng's expression was suddenly stunned, and he was speechless.

Wen Rongan walked behind Mu Changfeng at some point, and said faintly: "Cyclamen, you order, I'll pay the bill." ”

Mu Changfeng looked at Wen Rong'an in disbelief, and said in an exaggerated and joking tone: "Yo, I didn't expect that in my lifetime, the little master could still get a banquet from the eldest son of Wen, and the little master is going to throw off his arms and have a big meal!" ”

Mu Changfeng complained about Wen Rong'an's usual slamming of the door, and shook his shoulders cooperatively, and his funny actions made several people laugh.

After the school ended, the ensemble practice was over, and the male and female students went back to the school to pack their things and prepare for home.

Yan Ran walked with Zhen Zhen and Shang Yingying.

On the way, she vaguely heard someone say "Wen Gongzi", "Min'an County Lord", "Qin Fang" and other words.

Yan Ran wanted to stop the people who were talking and ask them what they were talking about.

But there were so many students who came and went that the sound was quickly drowned out, and naturally no one could be found.

Yan Ran thought, if people mention Wen Chengyan, they will call him the little grandfather, if they call Wen Gongzi, maybe they mean Wen Rongan?

There are many people who practice ensemble in the piano room today, but why only mention these two?

Yan Ran's heart froze, and she suddenly realized something, turned around and ran in the direction of the piano room.

Zhen Yu and Shang Yingying looked at each other, and then hurriedly chased after each other.
