Chapter Thirty-Six: Coming to the Fore

I saw Xie Yan's two maidservants coming with a box, everyone was curious about what was inside such a big box, Xie Yan had already opened the box and took out the contents of it.

That thing is about three feet long, less than two feet wide, the body is made of mahogany, the two sides are painted with peony golden birds, Luan Ri and phoenix, the front is carved with the words rich and noble, everyone can not help but sigh when they see it, it is just a guqin.

But when Xie Yan showed the front of that thing to everyone, everyone's disdain disappeared, and their eyes widened and they couldn't utter half a syllable.

An ordinary piano is just a simple seven-string piano, but now there are more than 100 of these things, and it is obviously not a piano. What is this?

Most of the people present are all beautiful women, naturally proficient in music, and naturally know how difficult it is to grasp the pitch when learning music for the first time. Now this thing has more than 100 strings, how to play this?

Xie Yan was satisfied with everyone's astonishment, and slowly said while holding the qin: "This is a dulcimer, and it is a tribute from Xiling." When my father was dying, the Holy God rewarded him with this instrument. Since then, I have studied hard every day, and now I have finally made a breakthrough, but it is only a small achievement, and it is still difficult to reach the elegant hall. ”

Xie Yan said this, paused, and Hua Xiyan naturally guessed Xie Yan's thoughts clearly.

Sure enough, I heard Xie Yan continue: "You don't know, when I was in Chengzhou before, I had an intersection with Miss Wang Er, and I knew that Miss Wang Er was proficient in music and rhythm, so I came to ask for advice before, and I hope that Miss Wang Er will not hesitate to reward." ”

Xie Yan said, she had already turned to Huaxiyan, raised her head slightly, and said slowly.

Xie Yan's music is widely known in Shengtian, and it is said that all musical instruments are universal. As for this dulcimer, everyone has never heard of it, but now Xie Yan has taken it out, could it be that the rhythm of this new Miss Wang Er is a few points higher than Miss Xie?

Hua Xiyan put down the teacup in his hand, sighed slightly, and said to Xie Yan: "Miss Xie, I am not proficient in music. ”

It's just a joke, when she was in Shengzhou, Xie Yan saw her dabbling in jade at most, when did she ever see her play the piano? Is it really good to lie like this?

"Miss Wang Er, don't be modest. Your rhythm is naturally the best. Besides, everyone wants to see the sound of this dulcimer, Miss Wang Er can't ignore everyone's minds, right? Xie Yan stepped forward slowly and said slowly.

The golden gardenia vines of her skirt spread and coiled, from her feet to her waist, revealing a very luxurious arc. But now, it is extremely helpless to sway slightly in front of Huaxi Yan with the breeze, showing a confusing and luxurious state.

Just like her, she has no intention of blooming, but she has no choice but to bloom.

According to Xie Yan's meaning just now, if she doesn't play, it will be a blow to everyone's mind. All of you are dignitaries, and today is the first day that she meets everyone as Miss Wang Er, if she leaves a bad impression on everyone, I am afraid that she will be seen clearly in the future.

But if she plays, it will be too sharp. If you provoke unnecessary grudges, you will also invisibly make enemies for yourself.

"I won't." Anyway, it's all about offending. After thinking about it, Hua Xiyan chose the first one.

Xie Yan raised her eyebrows, obviously not expecting Huaxi Yanhui to be so frank.

Some of those who had hoped immediately had expressions of disappointment on their faces. Thinking of the remarks I heard just now, this Second Miss Wang is a woman from a small family from a small place, and she really can't get on the stage.

Wen Mei on the side of Huaxi Yan covered her lips and chuckled, the corners of her eyes were full of disdain, and she sneered: "I just said that I can't get on the stage, Miss Xie, what are you doing to raise her?" ”

"I can't get on the stage, please Miss Wen don't hesitate to give advice!" Hua Xiyan turned his head to look at Wen Mei with a serious look of seeking advice.

"Everyone is looking forward to you, why am I so noisy?" Wen Mei is very calm to hide the fact that she doesn't know how to play the dulcimer.

Seeing Hua Xiyan and speaking, Wen Mei continued to speak, and sighed: "It seems that not everyone can be a young lady of the family, and now this is not lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, laughing and generous?" ”

The maidservants behind Wen Mei all laughed when they heard this.

"Miss Wang Er, you are so proficient in music and rhythm, but now you are covering it up in every way, why is it? Could it be that they look down on me and don't want me to see it? Xie Yan stepped forward again and occupied a platform very close to where Huaxi Yan was sitting, aggressively and humanely.

Oh? The hat on his head seemed to be getting bigger.

"Sister Hua can't say it's okay, what are you doing so step by step?" Yang Jinrong seemed to be unable to stand it, and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Miss Yang here, Miss Yang had better take a look before she speaks, whether this person is worth your protection!"

Xie Yan glanced at Yang Jinrong and warned slowly.

"You ......"

Yang Jinrong was about to say something more, but Beihua Xiyan held down his hand and stopped his mouth very unwillingly.

Hua Xiyan looked at Xie Yan calmly, neither happy nor sad, and did not seem to be angered by the insult implied by her words. Her face was like autumn water, without any waves, but that focused gaze made Xie Yan frown.

The-for-tat people were suddenly relatively speechless, and the eyes of the guests in the hall were full of good shows.

"Miss Xie, enough is enough." Wang Qi, who was at the top, spoke slowly and said this coldly.

Xie Yan turned around unhurriedly, with a confident expression on her face, looked at Wang Qi and smiled lightly: "I naturally won't talk nonsense, Miss Wang Er's proficient in music is indeed what I have seen with my own eyes, such as Miss Wang Er's excuses, don't you look down on me as a mere dulcimer?" ”

Xie Yan's words fell, and the expressions of the people present instantly became a little solemn.

What Xie Yan said just now is very clear, this dulcimer is a gift from the emperor, and if you don't respect the holy thing, you don't respect the heavenly family. Xie Yan is now wearing such a hat, how can the world bear it?

Wen Mei covered her lips and coughed lightly, adding fuel to the fire and said, "Second Miss Wang, go quickly, it's better to lose your life than to lose your life, don't you say?" ”

has no intention of fighting for spring, and a group of people are jealous. Hua Xiyan somehow came up with such a sentence in his mind. Whether these people are willing and jealous of their own step-by-step pressure, but they have reached the edge of what a person can bear. Yes, what other crime is greater than disrespecting the Heavenly Family?

Xie Yan expected that she wouldn't be able to play, so she swore like this. If you go up and play something messy, it's still a crime of blasphemy against holy relics, and it's not much better.

I really can't imagine that I will come to such a play for myself today, it seems that this dulcimer, she has to play it, and she has to play it if she doesn't play.

Thinking of this, Hua Xiyan squinted slightly, looked at Xie Yan, who was determined to win, and Wen Mei, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and hooked her lips and smiled.

It was like a light smile like Xiaoyue Izumo, extremely shallow and light, and there was no peony national color of the country and the city, faintly implying a touch of cunning and warning, which made Wen Mei stunned, and a bad premonition rose from the soles of her feet and spread all over her body in an instant.

"Good!" A light syllable sounded in everyone's ears, and they saw Hua Xiyan smiling and slowly walking to the center.

"Since Miss Xie is so gracious, it's hard to refuse. I don't want to fend Miss Xie's kindness, but I just hope that if there is anything bad about it, I hope everyone will bear with me. ”

When everyone saw the more than 100 strings of the dulcimer, their scalps were numb, but now they saw that this woman calmly responded calmly, is she really able to play, or is it a helpless move under all kinds of persecution?

"Smoke." Hua Xiyan was slowly walking towards the screen, and suddenly heard Wang Yao's call.

She turned her head and saw Wang Yao's expression cold, wearing a dark purple brocade robe that made him thin but straight.

"Don't force it."

In just four words, the support speaks for itself. Although Hua Xiyan has been touched too much by the Wang family in the past few days, but now, in front of this full house of dignitaries and dignitaries, at the risk of the Wang family being dragged down by the so-called "disrespect for the heavenly family", Wang Yao's short four words made Hua Xiyan's eyes almost wet.

"Uncle, don't worry." Hua Xiyan shook his head at Wang Yao, and said these four words slowly but firmly.

It's just a dulcimer, she naturally will. It's just that he didn't intend to be in the limelight, but he was forced step by step. Naturally, she can't play the piano in vain, but I just hope that Xie Yan and Wen Mei can afford her to play the piano.

Hua Xiyan turned his head and smiled at Xie Yan, then turned around and walked behind the screen.

Yang Jinrong pulled Yang Jincheng's sleeve and complained in a low voice: "Brother, why don't you speak?" ”

Yang Jincheng's face had long since lost such a romantic and evil lazy state, looking at the faint figure behind the screen, and said a little irritably: "I speak? You still think she's less troublesome, don't you? ”

Yang Jinrong was a little aggrieved, but when he saw his brother's ugly expression, he also pursed his mouth and didn't dare to say more.

There was no sound coming out of the screen for a long time, and everyone looked at each other, a little unclear, but because of their identity, they couldn't go behind the screen to find out.

Suddenly, a syllable broke through the air, like a trickle, murmuring, lingering and tactful, light and bright, like the sparkling waves on the surface of the microwave rippling lake, people seem to see the beautiful mountains and rivers in front of the picture scroll slowly unfolded, a magnificent image of the wind and the sea.

Xie Yan's face suddenly became extremely ugly, I couldn't imagine that this woman could really play this dulcimer! And the purity of this artistic conception and the purity of the timbre are by no means something that novices can create. Seeing everyone's almost obsessed looks, she knew that she was building momentum for Huaxi Yan!

The sound of the piano flows slowly, fresh and melodious, and turns into deep and mellow, quiet and elegant. Like a horse's hooves treading lightly; The artistic conception is far-reaching, and the charm is endless, like flowing water. Strong as a waterfall splashing, turbulent, weak as a stream quiet, elegant and deep.

Everyone had already been silent in the beautiful picture constructed by the sound of the piano, and they were fascinated. Only Xie Yan stood stiffly in place, her hands tightly grasping the skirt at her side, so long that her nails almost pierced the splendid Luo skirt. On her beautiful face, the dignified demeanor of the young lady of the family was unconsciously dissipated, only the resentment and unwillingness on her face, the gaze that almost breathed fire, seemed to penetrate the screen, and the bones of the person behind her were gone!
