Chapter 25: Three Strings (1)

Kuo Tianchen looked at Xia Qian's right hand and said with an evil smile: "Princess, don't you know, Xia Qian's qin music is a thousand times better than the girl in this Liuyun Pavilion!" ”

"I love your songs, especially when you're singing a cappella!" Huo Zun smiled at Xia Qian.

Seeing that Xia Qian was sitting at the table without moving, Xingping sneered disdainfully: "I heard that the people cultivated by the Brewing Mountain Leyi Mansion are all wonderful people who are rare in a thousand years, and it seems that they can't get on the stage, not even the girls on the second floor of our Liuyun Pavilion." ”

"Miss Xia, please!" Kuo Tianchen pointed to the table not far away.

It was a sandalwood table with a seven-stringed piano on it. The brown body is carved with exquisite orchids, and the strings are crystal smooth and smooth, and you can see that it is a rare and good piano at a glance.

Xia Qian walked to the table, glanced at the guqin, looked up and commanded Bai Bing: "Bring the five strings!" ”

"Five strings?" Lu Jingheng looked at her in surprise.

Among these people, in addition to Xia Qian, the one who knows the most about piano skills is Lu Jingheng, who is full of excellence.

The five-stringed piano is the earliest piano in the world, King Wen of Zhou added one, King Wu of Zhou added one, the two of them are one Wen and one Wu, and the addition of the piano means both civil and military.

Because the addition of two strings widened more than a dozen ranges, the music played was more graceful and listening, so the five-stringed instrument was rarely used again thousands of years later.

When Bai Bing walked in with an old ukulele, a burst of laughter rang out in the room.

Not only them, but even Xia Qian herself was like the mountain waterfall in her heart, flying down 3,000 feet.

The dilapidated piano is not what Xia Qian cares about, and the long-standing guqin is probably not properly preserved. However, the five strings of the bow, Shang, horn, emblem, and feather on the piano were also damaged to varying degrees, and one of them was already loose and crumbling.

"It seems that Xia Qian is going to give us a peerless good song!" Kuo Tianchen laughed heartily.

Xingping glanced at Xia Qian with a sneer, and slowly sent a piece of fruit into his mouth.

The moonlight shone in through the window, just shining on the place where Xia Qian was sitting. She looked out the window, and the moon was shining in the night sky, and the stars were shining.

"You only said you wanted to sing me a tune, you didn't say you wanted to play the harp. No need to play, just sing a little song! Huo Zun looked at her gently.

Xia Qian turned her head and smiled, and replied leisurely: "Since you want to give, I will naturally give you the best!" ”

As she spoke, her fingertips snapped twice on the strings, tearing off the two strings on the guqin that were about to break. Sit down, hang your right hand on your lap, and stroke the piano with your left hand.

She pondered about this three-stringed piano for a long time and thought it was impossible to realize, and it was not until she was injured in her upper right side that she could no longer play the piano, and she suddenly had a glimmer of inspiration.

- Seven strings require two hands, and five strings can be played with dozens of ranges with one hand when the movement of the five strings is sensitive enough.

The three-stringed piano in front of me, although the vocal range is less than half, but when I played it, I found that it was a superb piano.

The body of the piano is made of hundred-year-old paulownia wood, with a rich, mellow and penetrating sound, like a stone falling into a deep pool, with a long rhyme.

As soon as the piano sounded, everyone was shocked!

Obviously, none of them could have imagined that such a tattered scrap of wood could flow into her hands with a melodious and melodious rhythm.

"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky, I don't know the heavenly palace, what year is it in the past? I want to go back by the wind, there is time for Qionglou Yuyu, and the height is unbearable......"

Although these small states are not recorded in history, it does not mean that they did not exist. If you convert it by time, it is probably in the five dynasties and ten kingdoms.

There is no Tang and no Song, no Su Shi, no "Water Tune Song Head", and there is no famous song for enjoying the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

With the longing for his hometown, the admiration for the beautiful scenery of the good day, and the nostalgia and blessing for Huo Zun, Xia Qian played and sang this famous song with deep meaning.

Her piano sound is clear and ethereal, and her singing voice is pure, sweet and ethereal, expressing the beautiful scenery of the bright moon night of the Mid-Autumn Festival and the bold and romantic feelings of Su Dacaizi, and integrating her homesick feelings into it, and finally bringing everyone's thoughts into the vast night sky.

The sky is bright and the moon is shining, and the breeze is blowing in.

The eyes of the people under the moonlight are like clear waves, the skin is like clotted fat, the eyebrows are like green feathers, and the elegance is like a bunch of orchids.

"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, but it is difficult to be complete at this time. I hope that people will last a long time, thousands of miles together! ”

She repeated this sentence three times, once to herself, once to the princes and nobles at the banquet, and the last time she sang to Huo Zun.

Although she was born in different eras and different places, she hopes that these people in front of her can live in harmony and cherish each other.

At the end of the song, the audience was silent.

Huo Zun looked at her affectionately, Lu Jingheng froze there like a sculpture, Xingping's eyes moistened, and he quietly glued a few times with a handkerchief.

"If it weren't for the Jade Mountain, I would meet Yaotai under the moon!" Li Mao praised softly.

Kuo Tianchen didn't say a word, and swept the wine jug and poured himself three glasses in a row.

Bang –

With a crisp sound, Xingping plucked off a bright crested hairpin from his bun and threw it on the table, and said with a complicated expression: "This is my favorite jewelry, I will reward you!"

The princess's words were still domineering, but her voice trembled slightly.

Looking at this woman who had cried twice in half a day and her eyes were rosy and swollen, Xia Qian felt some sympathy for her inexplicably.

The other party is vicious and domineering, and he wants to take his life everywhere, but in the end he is a resentful woman who has gone crazy. And at this moment, Xia Qian believes that she is not humiliating herself.

Thinking of Huo Zun's coldness, Lu Jingheng's city, and Xingping's ending, Xia Qian seemed to have seen it in his eyes. I couldn't help but sigh - do it yourself, princess!

"Princess, the reward is for the singer, although Xia Qian is from Leyi Mansion, but how can I say that she is also Brother Huo's wife, isn't your reward a slap in the face?" Kuotian said sullenly, and poured himself another glass of wine.

Xingping was stunned, turned his head and looked at Kuo Tianchen angrily, and said, "This princess can reward whoever she wants, do you care?" ”

Kuo Tianchen was choked, and smiled dryly and picked up the wine glass again.

Suddenly, Aunt Yun hurriedly ran over, and laughed before she entered the door: "I didn't expect that there was such a good wonderful person in our Liuyun Pavilion, but there is someone next door who has paid a lot of money......

After running in, she froze suddenly, who was sitting next to the guqin was the person in their Liuyun Pavilion, obviously the woman who was sitting next to Huo Zun just now.

Kuo Tianchen leaned back with a smile, pointed to Xia Qian in front of the guqin and said, "This, the young lady of the Zhenguo General's Mansion, Huo Zun's woman." Why, do you feel like the singer in your Liuyun Pavilion? ”

Aunt Yun glanced at Huo Zun, knelt on the ground with a "poof", and scolded herself for not being a thing with eyes.

"Speaking of which, what's wrong with someone spending a lot of money just now?" Kuo Tianchen asked unrelentingly.

Aunt Yun knelt on the ground in fright, and kowtowed to Huo Zun for a while.

Kuo Tianchen slammed the wine glass on her head, and scolded angrily: "Bastard thing, if you know that you are afraid of Huo Zun, don't you know that you are afraid of this king?" Did this king take too much care of you in the past? ”

"The prince spares his life, how dare the little one. Just now, after Mrs. Huo finished stroking the piano, someone offered a hundred taels of gold, please listen to the young lady stroke again! ”

"One hundred taels of gold, it's very generous!" Kuo Tianchen stared at Aunt Yun, pressing step by step.

"Back to the little prince, the man said that if he is willing to play "Spring River Flower Moon Night", he will be rewarded with thirty taels of gold and ten night pearls!"
