Chapter 28: The end of the song
Yue'er looked outside anxiously, Wang Niang knew that she was waiting for the pipa, so she said, "I have asked someone to get Yue'er's musical instrument, everyone wait." ”
"Why, the Frost Leaf Pavilion is the landlord, and he hasn't even prepared the musical instrument, shouldn't Miss Yue'er keep the piano in her hand?"
"Yes, but there is a reason for it, the concubine will go and see."
After Wang Niang finished speaking, she lifted her dress, turned around and ran out, in fact, she had no bottom in her heart, she had entered the Frost Leaf Building for seven days, Yue'er had never touched the pipa at all, she really brought it, can she play it well?
Seeing Wang Niang leaving, Murong Qi'er deliberately said: "Yes, Miss Yue'er heard that Mother Wang just bought it from an acrobatic class in Yangzhou, she turned out to be a rope trick, and she was worth only one hundred taels!" She looked gloating, clearly deliberately belittling Yue'er.
When Epic Qin and Zhu Ziyi heard it, they both looked surprised, and then showed contempt again, and the two were next to each other and whispered quietly.
"It turns out that she is a cheap maid bought for a hundred taels of silver, and she is actually worthy of participating in the little oiran?"
Sikong replied, as if he had suddenly realized.
Except for Shang Wenda, most of the guests didn't care, Xiao Oiran only talked about appearance and talent, and being from a humble background was not a criterion for judging, besides, selling himself to places like Sansheng Pavilion, who was not a slave or a lowly person, why hurt each other? It's just a hundred taels of silver to buy such a beautiful girl, and everyone doesn't believe it.
Sikong Fu said at this time: "Miss Yue'er, in this way, you can't play the piano at all, so do you think it's an honor to participate in the little oiran?" ”
The derogatory meaning of these words is obvious, Yue'er was so angry that her body trembled, which of these Qinglou women was not sold into slavery, is there still a distinction between high and low? She suppressed her anger and said, "I will, but I haven't brought my instrument yet." ”
Murong Qi'er pulled Yue'er to his desk and said with a smile: "Then sister, can you play a tune to listen to?" ”
"What if I don't?"
"Qi'er thinks that in that case, it would be better for my sister to consciously withdraw from the little flower competition, if I write "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming" like that, I guarantee that I will not have the face to stay here."
With a snap, the brush in the clerk's hand fell to the ground, and he smiled wryly, picked up the pen, and said to himself, "I'll go and change the pen, I can't remember this paragraph." ”
Yue'er glanced at the clerk, the man was only in his twenties, like a down-and-out scholar, his face was white and clean, with no features, but there was a birthmark on the back of his neck, which was easy to remember.
Cao Gongzi's face was difficult to look at, although these people were targeting Yue'er, they were actually secretly ridiculing him, the previous topic was from him, Yue'er won two games, completely relying on his ability, even if the first game was almost written, the second game of chess was also based on comprehension.
Murong Qi'er drew her sword just now, Yue'er didn't get angry now, she gritted her teeth in her heart and said: "Miss Wei, Miss Wei, I thought just now, even if Steward Mo brings the pipa, I will just make a show, don't fight with you, if you want to be so persecuted, then I will miss the love of the old man and compare with you!" ”
Murong Qi'er bullied the Yue'er sisters when she was a child, and the old love that Yue'er thought about was naturally not really any friendship.
Yue'er stretched out her hand to pluck the strings and played the "Mountains and Flowing Water" that she had just practiced in the past two days.
The sound of the piano is murmuring, the flowing water is quiet, and the mountains are clear.
Murong Qi'er, Epic Qin and Zhu Ziyi were waiting to see Yue'er's jokes, but they didn't expect her to really know how to play.
Sikong Fu was a little surprised, looking at Yue'er's fingering, it is not something that can be practiced in three or two days, although it sounds a little rusty, in terms of the sound of the piano alone, this song is not much worse than Murong Qi'er and Zhu Ziyi, and it depends on how well she sings.
Suddenly, there was a snap, a string was suddenly broken, Yue'er played to the emergency place, her fingers slipped, and the second and third strings were also broken one after another.
Murong Qi'er sighed.
"You, do you know what kind of piano this is, this string is made of the best celestial silk, you can't buy it even if you have money!"
Yue'er didn't mean to, and she was also angry.
"It's a big deal, I'll pay you!"
"Okay, then let your mother Wang compensate me, I don't want money, I just need the same silk strings!"
Hurried footsteps could be heard outside.
I saw Wang Niang walking in quickly, and Steward Mo followed behind with a piano case.
"Here comes my piano."
"Hey, little girl, you really know how to play, what instrument do you know?"
Li Dahao couldn't help but ask.
Yue'er opened the piano case, inside was a delicate straight-necked pipa, she picked it up and held it in her arms, and gently played a note, although she had not touched the pipa for nearly ten days, but this piano was held in her arms, and her heart suddenly felt like a reassuring pill, she looked up and smiled, and said: "That Yue'er is ugly." ”
Cao Gongzi shouted hello.
Sikong Fu was a little surprised, and then sneered in his heart, and said secretly: "What if you can play the pipa, this question, no matter what, you have to be at the bottom!" ”
Yue'er nodded, holding the pipa with both hands, she was calm, and suddenly her right hand moved, and a string of pianos sounded.
This string of pianos was noisy like a torrential rain, and as soon as he made a move, he felt like a rock breaking the earth, Li Dahao was so excited that he slapped the table and shouted: "Okay, what a "will toast"! ”
This prelude is like the description of the poem in Bai Juyi's "Pipa Xing" - the silver bottle bursts through the water slurry, and the iron rider highlights the sound of swords and guns.
Yue'er plays the pipa in the Baihua class, just like her practice, it is a daily homework, and this song "Will Toast" is full of resentment in her heart.
"You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns. You don't see it, Gao Tang Mingjing has sad white hair, and the morning is like green silk turning into snow at dusk——"
Yue'er's singing rang out, her voice was clear, and she was always sad in her tactfulness.
At the end of the song, the aftermath lingers.
"Okay—"
Someone shouted, and it was actually the clerk, who was holding a pen in one hand and a notebook in the other, as if he was fascinated by it.
Li Dahao patted the table and said: "Play well, sing better, if you want to say the last song, this king likes Miss Yue'er the most!" ”
Most of the people in the guest table agreed.
Sikong Fu frowned, and secretly scolded Li Dahao in his heart for being a grass on the wall, he glanced at Cao Gongzi, and said coldly to Yue'er: "Although your pipa playing and singing is good, the key to this question is not skill, but knowledge, so this son's judgment is that Miss Shiqin won this question, Murong girl is second, Ziyi is third, guests, are you right?" ”
Ouyang Mu nodded, his question was now inclined to Yue'er, but Epic Qin did a good job in answering the question just now, and he was about to say his opinion, when someone shouted crisply: "Wait." ”
It was Yue'er who spoke, and Sikong Fu saw her staring at herself with burning eyes, and sneered in his heart.
"Miss Yue'er, what do you have to say?"
"This girl has a question that she wants to ask Sikong Gongzi."
"Please."
"There were poems in the Tang Du Ministry of Industry, and they died before they left the school, which often made the heroes full of tears, and now Su Bachelor also has poetry clouds, the great river goes east, and the waves are all over the ages, and some people write down who is the opponent of the heroes in the world, Cao Liu, I don't know what Sikong Gongzi thinks, which general is the most powerful in the Three Kingdoms?"
When Yue'er was a child, her father liked to talk to their sisters about the Three Kingdoms the most, and these words were the teachings of her father in Yue'er's memory, and she wanted to get it back here.
Sikong Fu laughed, and secretly thought in his heart: "You come around a bend to ask me, Zhuge Kongming is the unsuccessful teacher, Chibi Huaigu is Zhou Lang, and the opponent of the hero in the world is Sun Zhongmou, but in the end he asked me who led the troops to fight, this little trick wants to ask me, it's a joke!" ”
"Okay, this son answers you, if according to the official history, it is naturally Cao Cao's general Zhang Liao, the battle of Xiaoyaojin, 800 broken 100,000, he also angrily beheaded the Huns in the White Wolf Mountain, which can be described as a megatron in the world, but some people think that it is the general Wen Yuan at the end of the Wei Dynasty and the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, Wen Yuan's single cavalry retreat is also recorded in the annals of history, if according to the history and folklore, the most powerful is Guan Yu Guan Yunchang, he is respected as a martial saint by later generations, of course, the Tiger Prison Pass three Ying battle Lu Bu, Lu Bu Lu Fengxian is also an immortal general."
Sikong Fu's face was triumphant, he thought he was erudite, and he said so many people in one breath.
