In fact, Xu Ruqing played a song "Mountains and Flowing Water" with skillful Konghou skills, this is the first time Yan Yan herself listened to Konghou play, and she also knew that Konghou was originally divided into three types, lying Konghou, vertical Konghou and phoenix-headed Konghou.

The vertical gong hou was brought from Persia in the Han Dynasty, also called Hu Konghou, which is a bit similar to the harp, while the phoenix head gong hou was introduced from Tianzhu, which was later introduced from India, and was very popular in the Sui and Tang dynasties.

As for Wo Gong Hou, it is from the Spring and Autumn Period, and it has the same origin as Yaoqin, but unfortunately, I don't know if it is the prevalence of Wo Gong Hou or the prevalence of Feng Shou Gong Hou or something else, Wo Gong Hou gradually disappeared, at least the Gong Hou that Yan Yan saw in the previous life were all vertical Gong Hou, and there was no Feng Shou Gong Hou.

Of course, Yan Yan doesn't know that the vertical Konghou she saw in later generations is not the vertical Konghou she saw in this time and space, but the improved version of later generations, the real Konghou, whether it is Wogonghou or Vertical Konghou or Fengshou Konghou, have disappeared one after another with the changes of the times, and the earliest one to be lost is Wogonghou.

And what Xu Ruqing is playing at the moment is the vertical gonghou, not to mention, it really makes Yan Yan bet right, if Yan Tong and Chen Chen's Yaoqin is mellow and far-reaching, like a sense of coldness and immortality, which makes people think of ancient times, then Xu Ruqing's playing of Konghou is also clear and ethereal, like the sound of a clear spring in a snow-capped mountain, and the charm changes are also obvious, and the left and right hands can play the melody at the same time without hindering each other.

In short, at this moment, Yan Yan was also shocked by Xu Ruqing, not only her, but most of the people present were also shocked.

"Today I can really understand the words of my predecessors, such as listening to Xian Le's ears for a while, and what aftermath will linger around the beam for three days, etc., Sister Xu and Sister Fang Cai Chen's performances have their own strengths, but one thing is similar, they can hit people's hearts directly, I don't have the ability of a few sisters." Yan Yan said with a smile.

The original owner had never learned Konghou, so she naturally didn't know anything about it, but this didn't prevent her from appreciating it.

"It's true that all of them are talents, it's a shame to say, but our two princesses don't have any skills that they can handle." The queen glanced at the two little princesses sitting beside her.

"Back to the queen, that's different, the two princesses are still young. The courtiers heard that they have studied diligently, and they are real all-rounders. "Yan Yan is telling the truth.

These two princesses are just eleven or twelve years old, and according to Li Sui, they also have to study with the princes every day, but the royal family pays more attention to the cultivation of various talents and morals for them, rather than this kind of performance skills, after all, this kind of performance skills can only be used occasionally for entertainment, and there is no real help for daily life, and even a careless will change their minds.

And these princesses will marry the descendants of those vassal kings and county kings in the future, even if they do not marry the monarchs and relatives of neighboring countries, so for them, assisting their husbands' careers is the first priority.

"Or the lord of Baihui is right, we children from small families gather together just for fun, how can we compare with the two noble princesses, they have a lot more to learn than us." Old Madam Zhao spoke.

In a few competitions, her granddaughter Zhao Yan has been mediocre, which makes her a little unhappy, but fortunately, the queen mentioned the two princesses, which allowed her to regain some face.

"It's not just a fun fun, the purpose of this rally is to play well, eat well, be happy, everyone has any talent to show, no matter what form, jokes, poems, singing can be, as long as it can make everyone laugh or have an epiphany, for reference, it is good." Yan Yan proposed.

"In that case, I'll tell you a joke." Meng Jing stood up.

She has always been lively, and she looks like she is smiling, so as soon as she tells everyone a joke, everyone laughs first.

No, Meng Jing saw that everyone laughed before he spoke, so he simply played the treasure, stared at a pair of round eyes and said, "Hey, I haven't said it yet, you laughed first, don't you know what I'm going to talk about?" ”

"This child is good, it makes people laugh when they look at it, and he will be blessed in the future." The Queen Mother couldn't help but praise.

"The courtiers borrowed the auspicious words of the Queen Mother." Meng Jing rolled his eyes after speaking, and then said: "Once upon a time, there was a person who was particularly fond of lying, and he would say whatever he thought of every time, but fortunately, he had a particularly loyal servant who could clean up the aftermath for him every time, for example, one day, he bragged to others, saying that the wind was strong last night, and his well was blown to the next house." The people did not believe him, and they accused him of lying, but at the critical moment his servant stood up and said: 'It is true that the well of our lord's house is next to the wall of the fence of the neighbor's house, and the wind blows the wall of the fence through the end of the well, is it the same as blowing the well of our lord's house to the house next door?' When the people heard this, it turned out to be so, and there was some truth in it. ”

Because Meng Jing said that the fence was blown away with her hands, everyone couldn't help laughing when they saw her movements, Meng Jing saw it, seemed a little proud, and gestured hand and foot together: "Again, this person bragged to everyone again, saying, 'Someone shot down a goose and put a bowl of noodle soup on his head. The servants did not believe it, but the servant lied to him again, saying, 'It was a coincidence, and my master was eating noodle soup in the patio, when suddenly a goose fell down, and its head fell right in the bowl. ’”

As soon as he said this, the crowd laughed again, and then praised, "What a vigilant servant." ”

"No, this master saw that his servant could come back for him no matter what he could say, so one day he said to the people: 'I happened to have a good poem yesterday, and everyone said that he had won Li Du.'" When they heard this, they didn't believe it, and asked him to take it out for everyone to see, but the man could not take it out, so he habitually looked at the servant who was beside him, and the servant said with a bitter face, 'This is true, my master dreamed of it last night.' ’”

Most of the people present laughed when they heard the last paragraph, but Ma and Zhu couldn't laugh.

No, there is another one who can't laugh is the Queen Mother.

Because someone has seen this joke, the last paragraph of this joke is this man bragging and saying, "The Han family has a tent of warmth, which covers the heavens and the earth tightly, and there is no gap at all." When the servant heard this, he frowned in embarrassment and said, "The master has gone too far, and how can I cover up this big lie." ”

Therefore, Meng Jing specially changed the last paragraph of this joke, which easily reminded insiders of the festival between Yan Yan and Yan Yu.
