Yan Na pulled me to sit down in a prominent position and whispered: "She is Shi Jingxian of the Shi family, she has just returned from abroad, she is a famous musical genius, and she is studying at the Conservatory in Vienna. ”

I nodded and complimented, "It's really talented and beautiful." ”

Soon, after the song was played, everyone applauded, Shi Jingxian bowed generously, and suddenly fell on me: "Everyone, we have a distinguished guest here today, Ms. Jiang Lin. ”

The corners of my mouth twitched twice, and with a gentle smile, I got up and saluted the crowd, who applauded politely.

"Ms. Jiang Lin is a well-known talisman master, and she is also a cultivator who has cultivated to the sixth grade, and a master among masters." She paused and said meaningfully, "Ms. Jiang Lin can come today to make Peng Sheng shine, and now we have invited Ms. Jiang Lin to play a song for us." ”

I squinted my eyes slightly, it was waiting for me here.

Shi Jingxian, the Shi family, seems to be holding grievances for their family.

The head of the Shi family knelt outside the door of the Zhou family for two days and begged for a stack of talismans, so Shi Mocheng, who was about to die, came back to life, his body was getting better and better day by day, and he could even go out and walk around.

The whole capital knew about it, although the people were saved, but the face of the Shi family was lost, Shi Mobo didn't care about his younger brother, but the rest of the Shi family didn't care.

But on the surface, they didn't dare to do anything, so they could only make some small moves to make me embarrassed.

But doesn't it feel too naïve to use this method?

After everyone applauded, seeing that I didn't move, a woman said bitterly, "What, doesn't Ms. Jiang know how to play a musical instrument?" ”

Another woman said: "I heard that Ms. Jiang's family was poor in her early years, so it is not normal for her to be poor. ”

Even though this is true, why does it sound so bad to me?

Shi Jingxian looked at me unrelentingly and said, "Even if Ms. Jiang doesn't know how to play an instrument, it's always okay to sing, why don't you come up and sing a song?" ”

Seeing that I was still sitting still, someone said dissatisfiedly: "Could it be that Ms. Jiang doesn't look down on us?" Don't even want to sing a song? ”

Someone laughed lowly: "It can't be a five-tone incompleteness, right?" ”

"It's possible." Another also whispered, "After all, I was born from a low background, and at most I can only sing a K, and it is impossible to take a formal course at all." ”

"So, that's the difference between the nouveau riche and the real aristocracy." Someone said in a weird way.

I couldn't help but roll my eyes, where did these people's superiority come from, but they were just vases that had nothing to do when they were full.

I said lightly, "I know a few instruments." It's just that I will, not here. ”

Shi Jingxian hurriedly said, "I don't know what Ms. Jiang will do?" The owner of this hotel is very passionate about music and has a collection of musical instruments. ”

"Sheng." I said, "I can play the sheng." ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment.

The sheng is one of the oldest musical instruments in China, it was very popular in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and in modern times, it is a very remote musical instrument, and there are not many people who can play the sheng in the whole of China.

These self-proclaimed aristocratic women are a little admiring and flattering, learning Western musical instruments, and very few of them learn traditional Chinese musical instruments, and a few don't even know what the sheng is, and secretly ask their companions.

Shi Jingxian's eyes flashed with anger, she thought I was deliberately talking about a part-of-the-way musical instrument like the sheng, if she couldn't find my instrument, then she would be embarrassed.

I lifted my chin slightly and looked at her proudly, and she said to the waitress standing next to me, "Go and ask your boss if you have any sheng collections." ”

"Yes." The waitress went out for a moment and soon returned, followed by a handsome young man.

Shi Jingxian's eyes lit up suddenly, because the waitress was holding a sheng in her hand.

"I heard that there is a lady here who can play the sheng?" The handsome man said gently.

"Your Excellency?" Shi Jingxian's cheeks were slightly red, this man was so good-looking.

The handsome man smiled and said, "My surname is Ji, this hotel is my property." ”

The ladies of the house were amazed.

"It turns out that this is the hotel owner, the famous Mr. Ji."

"I heard that Mr. Ji rarely appears in front of people, but I didn't expect him to appear here."

"It's as handsome as the legend says."

Shi Jingxian deliberately made me look ugly, glanced at me, and said with a smile: "Mr. Ji, it is this Ms. Jiang who can play the sheng." ”

Mr. Ji turned his head, glanced at me, and said with a smile: "Ms. Jiang is really a good blue heart, and she can even use a musical instrument like the sheng." I don't know if I have the honor to listen to Ms. Jiang play a song? ”

A few people who wanted to see my joke chuckled in a low voice, "I'll see how she ends." ”

"That's it, don't you just say no, but if you want to talk about a remote instrument, I really think I can mix it up."

"It's also her bad luck, Mr. Ji just happened to collect Sheng."

"Hee-hee, do you think she can make a sound?"

The corners of my mouth hooked up a slightly sarcastic smile, and said, "Of course, as long as Mr. Ji doesn't dislike me for blowing ugly." ”

After that, I took the sheng from the waitress's hand, slowly walked up to the stage, and skillfully checked the timbre, although this sheng is not an antique, but it is well-made, the materials selected are also the best, the timbre is crisp and melodious, it is a rare good sheng.

"Look at her like that, it's really like that." Someone whispered, "Can she really blow it?" ”

Mr. Ji's eyes flashed with appreciation, and he found a place to sit down and listened seriously.

I picked up the sheng and began to play, and a loud sound flowed out, and everyone froze.

What I was playing was an old tune called "Love".

This piece originated in the Western Zhou Dynasty and is a folk music, which tells the story of a beautiful girl who, when she was collecting veigloo, happened to meet the prince of the country who was traveling, and fell in love at first sight. But the status of the two is very different, and Gongzi will not take care of a small civilian woman at all.

The girl misses her son day and night, and every day she goes to the place where she first met her son, plays this song, and prays that her son will hear it one day.

The song was played day after day, year after year, and the boy never came again, and the girl grew old, until one sunny morning, when she finally played the song "Love", and then fell into a deep sleep, never to wake up again.

At the end of the song, there was silence in the side hall, and all the ladies were immersed in the artistic conception created by the song, unable to extricate themselves.

There are quite a few emotional, with tears on their faces, as if they are grieving for the girl's desperate unrequited love.

"Bang bang." Crisp applause rang out, and when I looked up, it was Mr. Ji clapping, waking up the dreamer with a word, and the ladies all applauded.

"I really didn't expect her to really blow it."

"yes, it's blowing so well, I'm getting goosebumps."

"Alas, it's just that the song is too sad and doesn't fit today's atmosphere."

At this time, Shi Jingxian was very embarrassed, she originally wanted to embarrass me, but I didn't expect that it was her who lost face in the end.

I deliberately got angry with her and said with a smile: "Miss Shi, what do you think of my sheng song?" ”

Shi Jingxian's face was red and white, and she was silent for a while before she reluctantly said, "It's a good blow." Merely...... Sheng, a musical instrument, is too vulgar. ”

Mr. Ji sneered and said, "Miss Shi, in ancient times, the sheng was a court instrument, and it was used in the major ceremonies of sacrificing Sheji, how could the sheng be vulgar?" ”

"Yes." Someone chimed in, "Some people are really uninformed. ”

Shi Jingxian's face turned red with anger, she looked at me unwillingly, and she really couldn't figure out why I could play this instrument.

I hooked the corners of my mouth, I really don't, my family used to be so poor, where did I have the money to learn any musical instrument.

But, Fei Yan will.

In my previous life, I lived for millions of years, and I went to the mortal world many times to pursue fugitives, drank tea at the same table with ancient celebrities, admired flowers and listened to the piano, how could I not know a few musical instruments?

In fact, in my previous life, I knew a lot of musical instruments, such as guqin, guzheng, dong flute, flute, pipa, etc., etc., I knew a little.

One of the best is the pipa.

The reason why I asked to play the sheng today is because I remembered my previous life, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, when I came to the mortal world and met a prince of the king of Zhou. He invited me into the palace for a banquet, and a noble woman who admired the prince embarrassed me by showing her talents, and I also played a sheng song, which made the noble woman ashamed.

Thousands of years have passed, and the prince and the noble lady have become a thing of the past, but the situation of that day is so similar to today that I feel a little melancholy in my heart.
