Chapter 13 The Piano Master Who Loves to Drink
Chen Qi settled down in the brothel, he is really confident in his piano skills, because he believes in his master, he feels that no one in this world can play the piano better than the master, and there is no song that can compare to "Wind and Rain".
In fact, the bustard accepted Chen Qi at the beginning not because of how well Chen Qi played the piano, but because he looked too attractive, just like a handsome boy who came out of a painting, and it just so happened that now rich people are popular in Longyang, if he is trained to become the top brand in his own store, he will definitely be able to attract a lot of business for himself.
The old bustard didn't let Chen Qi do anything, but just let Chen Qi follow him all day long, intentionally or unintentionally told him a lot of nasty things, and even taught him how to serve men as a man.
Chen Qi didn't know what the bustard was thinking, he was just very depressed, so one day he borrowed a piano from a geisha and sat alone in the room to play it, one song after another.
In this way, he played until late at night, until he was tired, and when he was about to go out to fetch water, he pushed open the door only to find that the corridor was full of people, and many people blocked in front of his door, and he realized that he had played the piano all night, and the people in the brothel also listened to him play the piano all night.
Later, the old bustard didn't let Chen Qi follow him, and she was also listening to Chen Qi playing the piano that night, and the sound of the piano reminded her of when she was young, and thought of the innocent and romantic little woman. So there was an additional pianist in the brothel, named Chen Yan.
Chen Qi sat in the brothel and played the piano every day, sometimes the geisha in the brothel danced and invited him to come over to play the piano, and sometimes the brothel had a drinking party to play the piano for everyone.
He doesn't feel ashamed to play the piano for these people, he thinks that as long as someone likes his piano and can understand a little emotion in the piano, it is not a defilement of his piano.
"Hey, do you know where that young man came from?"
"I heard that it is the cousin of the fish girl next door, and one day the fish girl came back to have such a young man around her, who likes to wear white clothes, and has a white paper fan, and the fan is also a poem of the fish girl!"
"I really can't imagine that both brothers and sisters are so talented, but it's a pity that they are not born into good families, so they can only bury their talents in this brothel door......"
"Okay, what does it matter to you, we are here to have fun, not to feel the road of life."
Chen Qi couldn't hear any sound when he played the piano, nor could he hear what others were talking about him, he could only hear the sound of the piano, hear the sound of his fingertips gently rubbing the strings, and he would squint when he played the emotional place, and even his breathing stopped, and his whole body seemed to be out of the world.
He doesn't care what others say about him, because in his eyes, all gossip people are ordinary people, and he doesn't listen to what others talk about.
He likes to sit and listen to the wind at night and listen to the rain during the day like Yu Youwei, and realize how old the sky is and how the moon is lacking. After spending a long time in a brothel, he also contracted some bad habits, he liked to drink, and he was very drunk.
He found that when he was drunk, he played the piano more like his master, so he drank a lot of wine every day, and the more he drank, the better he played.
The bustard didn't allow anyone to stop him from drinking, because Chen Yan drank too much and didn't make a noise, so he hugged the piano and started to play, until he got drunk, but now he is getting more and more drunk.
His fame soon spread, like Yu Youwei at the beginning, and even many lonely women disguised themselves as men just to listen to him play the piano. There is a legendary person in Chang'an City, and people call him "White Fan Piano Master".
Once a person becomes famous, there will be a lot of right and wrong, not to mention that Chen Qi is a person who doesn't care what others say about him, he only cares about what he guards and what he insists on.
People made up a lot of stories for him, some people said that he was the illegitimate son of the old bustard, some people said that he was the husband of Yu Youwei's fingertips, some people said that he was a little piano boy who ran out of the palace, and some people even said that he was the stars in the sky and used the sound of the piano to help the world.
His favorite among them is probably the husband of Yu Youwei.
He has seen Yu Youwei less and less recently, and Yu Youwei knows a person named Wen Tingyun, who is a talented man and a bachelor.
It stands to reason that Wen Tingyun, a character with a head and a face, would not go to a place like a brothel, and he should not have heard that there is such a talented woman as Yu Youwei in a prostitution brothel, but some things seem to be predestined, destined to happen, and there is no way to change them.
One day he drank too much wine again, and fell drunk on the piano, and the fan in his arms fell out, but it was mistakenly taken by a scholar who also drank too much.
The scholar is Wen Tingyun's disciple, and he usually likes to drink flower wine, and it is the kind of flower wine that finds a geisha to play the piano and drink all night, but it is harmless.
As a result, when he went to class the next day, the poem written by the fan in his hand was seen by the master, and the disciple said, "This fan belongs to the white-clothed qinist, and the poem on this fan should be his cousin, Yu Youwei." ”
Wen Tingyun took the fan and looked at it repeatedly, reading it over and over again, but he never believed that this poem came from an eleven or twelve-year-old girl, so he decided to meet Yu Youwei for a while, he couldn't bear to live in a brothel for the rest of his life, if he could, he was willing to be a ladder for Yu Youwei to climb out of the abyss.
