Chapter 65: Not as Good as a Village Girl Who Grew Up on a Desert Island?
The Han family has lost face today, and Shen Fangrou is dissatisfied with Shen Qinghe's fame, so she can't help but approach and say: "Big sister, today is a good day for you and Lu, so many official wives and young ladies came to watch the ceremony, just to show their talents to show their gratitude." ”
Shen Qinghe deliberately replied lightly: "The sun is popular here in the front yard, and the ladies and ladies have been appreciating their faces for a long time, so it's better to show their talents another day." ”
Shen Fangrou's smile became more and more pleasant when she heard this: "Look at what the eldest sister said, the guests are looking forward to it, what the eldest sister is good at, my accommodation is all kind." Pipa, gonghou, flute, horizontal flute, guqin...... But if you name it, there will be no one who can't find it......"
Before Shen Qinghe could finish Shen Fangrou's words about selling melons from Wang Po, she directly interrupted her: "I need the guqin." ”
Shen Fangrou's face froze, as if she didn't expect this Shen Qinghe to dare to ask for the guqin, she pondered carefully, and she could be sure that the government did not send Mama Xi to the island to teach this wild girl the piano skills, and she was relieved. felt that Shen Qinghe was slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, and he didn't know how to pretend to understand.
This guqin has not been practiced hard for more than ten years, and it is difficult to achieve success, just because Shen Qinghe, who grew up on a desert island, also wants to play well? It's a dream!
Shen Fangrou smiled and said to Xia He, the maidservant next to her, "Go and get the guqin for the eldest sister." ”
Xia Hewan said with a graceful body: "Yes." "Go to the backyard.
Here, Aunt Su was a little surprised, she had already understood Shen Qinghe's methods, so naturally she would not be untargeted, seeing that Qinghe was confident, contrary to the Han family, Aunt Su was a little looking forward to it.
After a while, Shen Fangrou came back, and the maid Xia He was holding a guqin obliquely, bowing her head and following her master.
Shen Fangrou ordered someone to carry the wooden shelf that supported the guqin, and moved a round stool and placed it in front of Shen Qinghe. Shen Fangrou smiled maliciously and said, "Eldest sister, my sister hasn't heard your piano music yet, and I'm really lucky today." ”
Shen Qinghe was too lazy to be gentle with Shen Fang, and bowed gracefully: "The little girl's piano skills are shallow, please forgive me." ”
When Shen Fangrou heard this, her heart was even happier. I am sure that even if this wild girl is lucky enough to play one or two tunes, it is estimated that she will be at the level of indiscriminate filling and will not be able to get on the stage.
Shen Fangrou is waiting to see a tragedy, and then she will go to remedy it, play a few carefully prepared tunes, and all the limelight of this ceremony will be concentrated on a few people. And when people talk about this Shen Qinghe in the future, they will only think of her embarrassing scene today.
At this time, Shen Qinghe had already sat down, and Qingyue's voice came into everyone's ears: "Qinghe is willing to dedicate a song "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" to you. Her slender fingers rested on the strings.
When everyone heard this, they were surprised. This "Flat Sand and Falling Geese" is a famous guqin song, and without more than ten years of hard practice, it is difficult to play the charm. Even the musicians in the court music workshop, few people can play this piece well. This eldest lady of the Hou Mansion is really bold, and she picked such a difficult one at once.
Some people are looking forward to it, some people are worried, and some people are waiting to see a good show. For a while, the expressions on everyone's faces were different.
Shen Fangrou listened to Shen Qinghe report the name of the song to be played, and couldn't help but evoke a sneering smile, leaned over and whispered in Han's ear and laughed: "Mother, Shen Qinghe is too self-conscious, even the master who taught her daughter the guqin didn't dare to play this piece easily." Just because of her, Shen Qinghe also wants to play well? It's a dream! ”
Han sneered, "Let's just wait and watch the show!" ”
Here, Shen Qinghe tuned the pitch of the guqin, and immediately picked it up with his fingertips, and the melodious tune sounded.
Everyone was stunned.
In the song, it is like a group of lonely geese crossing the river, and their wings fall on the riverside one after another. There are geese falling and not singing, and there are geese falling and singing. Sometimes it seems to lead the neck and shout, and sometimes it seems to bend over and rush.
After a few geese took off into the air, flipped their wings, and competed to land.
The piano notes are rapid, the melody is high, and it enters the climax. The flocks of geese may fly jaggedly, or feathers fly down. The sound of feathers is intertwined, and it is really quiet in the noise, and there is noise in the quiet.
The plain finger is plucked lightly, and the sound gradually stabilizes. The lone goose gathers its wings and returns to the flock, the water waves flow sparklingly, and on the bank of the river, the flock of geese gradually fall asleep in the deep twilight.
After the song, there was silence.
Shen Qinghe stood up and bowed: "Qinghe is ugly." ”
Only then did everyone come back to their senses, and the praise suddenly poured out like a tide.
"This eldest lady of the Hou Mansion is really amazing! When it comes to piano skills in Beijing's ladies, there are really few who can compare to her! ”
"It's really a lingering sound! I'm afraid that only the court musicians who specialize in this way can compete with one of them! ”
Listening to the admiration of the audience below, Shen Wei, who was sitting at the top, stroked his beard, and was in a happy mood, feeling that the eldest daughter had given the Hou Mansion a lot of face today!
Shen Fangrou, who was sitting on the left side of the lower head, was so angry that her face was pale, her arm trembled slightly, and her right palm on the armrest was almost about to cut off a piece of the relief.
Shen Fangrou looked at Shen Qinghe, who was standing calmly in the middle, still feeling a dazzling panic. Why! Why did the marriage contract fall on her head, and why did she put down the elaborate dress as soon as she appeared?! Why do you have been practicing the piano for many years, and you can't compare to the village girl who grew up on a desert island?!
Shen Fangrou was still angry and angry. And from time to time, there were sighs of regret and discussion in the crowd of spectators.
At this moment, a team of eunuchs walked in. The head was about forty years old, and some knowledgeable people recognized at a glance that this eunuch was on an errand with the emperor.
The eunuch held a scroll of bright yellow embroidered gold silk dragon scroll holy decree, stepped into the inner courtyard quickly, and said with a smile: "Lord Shen, your family is very happy!" Take it. ”
Shen Wei was overjoyed, the eldest daughter's ceremony was even alarmed by the emperor, with the wind under his feet, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, lifted his robe and knelt on the ground: "Minister Shen Wei takes the order!" ”
Naturally, everyone also knelt down. Han also pulled his daughter forward and knelt down, and Shen Fangrou behind him also glanced at Shen Qinghe hatefully.
The eunuch spread out the decree, and a shrill voice sounded in the courtyard.
