Chapter 160: The start is unfavorable
Master Qin's face was straight, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he shouted softly: "Good! What a Chang'an Li Shilang, I hope you will be a good opponent, don't let this little sister down. ”
All the spectators were stunned, why, tonight is a grand gathering in front of everyone, and now the two of you are singing and harmonizing like just the two of you? This Oiran can't be a woman who likes a husband, right? Luckily, so am I......
Look at these two gossipy thoughts, although the Wanhua Fengya Building is called the land of elegance, all the people who come are literati, ink scholars, officials and nobles, but in fact, the quality of each person is good or bad, and the benevolent and the wise see the wise, after all, the most important thing in this world is hypocrites.
The steward on the stage saw that the time was almost up, and announced loudly: "Tonight, the first game of the Oiran competition, Qin!" The rule is that Miss Qin will personally play a song of mountains and flowing water, there is a way to meet a bosom friend in the mountains and rivers, if any guest officer in the field can play a song of the same height, it is a pass, and the cost of the piano trial in this building is 1,000 taels. ”
After saying that, the steward retreated, Master Qin saluted slightly, and then sat down and began to stroke the qin.
I have to say that this recognized first Oiran does have real skills, the sound of the piano together, all the hustle and bustle in the building, as if the ice and snow saw the sun, met the nemesis, and soon all calmed down, the whole Wanhua Fengya Building, only the beautiful sound of the high mountains and flowing water penetrating the heartstrings, countless people are fascinated by it, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the aftermath is lingering.
But it's just such beautiful music, and there is still such a layman who is distracted, who is it not Li Yuanying? He was a scholar in his previous life, but he was not from the music department, this kind of guqin music, he really can't, if he is a piano, he still dares to show his hand, but this kind of piano? It's over, but how can it be done for a while? Li Yuanying was a little worried.
He didn't think of replacing it with a piano, firstly, there is no piano in Datang, and secondly, other musical instruments are not as good as the piano in today's era, even if it is a well-known musical instrument such as the flute and the dong flute, because since ancient times, the piano is a gentleman's instrument! There has always been a saying that the sword is brave and the heart is the heart.
Of course, this question is still not the biggest doubt in Li Yuanying's heart at this time, what he wonders is, what did the steward say just now about a thousand taels?
With this doubt, he listened to the whole piece absentmindedly in such a daze, after all, he is a modern person who has seen countless divine comedies in later generations, and he didn't think that tonight's 'weird' tune was so amazing, so Li Yuanying was the first to 'wake up'.
At the same time, he unceremoniously woke up Yuwen Chengdu, who was intoxicated next to him, "Lao Tie, is this the end?" With such a tune, there are so many people tonight, if everyone has to compete with her, won't they be able to finish this piano at dawn? ”
You...... Yuwen Chengdu is so angry, Lao Tzu is reminiscing, why are you embarrassed to interrupt? It's like you beat the bowl of rice halfway through a bowl of good rice, and you're not a good thing!
Glancing at Li Yuanying fiercely, Yuwen Chengdu explained angrily: "Want to be qualified to compare with her?" But not everyone is qualified, I didn't listen to the shout of the steward, the trial fee is 1,000 taels! This is a registration threshold, just imagine coming here tonight, how many can be a thousand taels in one shot? ”
"Huh? Isn't that an audition fee? Can I bring my own piano? Li Yuanying asked rhetorically.
…… Yuwen Chengdu knelt down, it's really weird, you come here to understand the rules or come to see the excitement, and you, how do I think it looks like you're here to smash the field, by the way, and your daughter.
First, no one will bring their own piano, second, even if you bring yourself, you can not use the piano in the building, but the money has to be paid, otherwise you are not allowed to occupy everyone's time to talk about playing at this time.
Li Yuanying suddenly realized: "So that's the case, then this Oiran is quite good at playing, although it is good, it is not something that money can buy, and you can even buy it without money, but in fact, she is the one who is the best at making money, one person occupies four games, and one game alone is one person who pays a thousand taels, which is already more than others, tsk...... Fight a good hand! Hehe, I thought it was amazing, but I didn't expect it to be just a means of making money, so boring......"
"Abacus? The abacus was invented by you, and it was just passed on to the household, so outsiders wouldn't do it, right? Yuwen Chengdu didn't understand, but at the same time retorted: "You are wrong, this money is not received by her, but Wanhua Fengyalou earns it, as long as Qin Shishi is famous, Wanhua Fengyalou borrows her name to make money, and the two are a cooperative relationship, so this Oiran will stand out and be looked down upon." ”
"Oh...... Understood, if no one beats her, then she is not just an Oiran, but the title of the Tang Qi woman, with a greater reputation, if someone beats her, then she is either rich or expensive and talented, and when the time comes, she will be committed to marrying, tsk, better calculation, in this way is actually choosing a son-in-law, amazing, this woman is smart and tight! Li Yuanying said with emotion.
Li Yuanba next to him coughed lightly: "Fifth brother, don't say it so ugly, people may just win or lose, even if they lose, they may not be married......
Li Yuanying and Yuwen Chengdu glanced at each other, and laughed at the same time, it was really hammered, Li Yuanba definitely fell in love with others.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Qin has finished playing, I don't know which guest officer wants to try her art?" The steward asked.
Master Qin looked at Erlang Li Yuanying's Accord, and the steward asked again, but Li Yuanying panicked, turned his head and asked, "Which of you can stroke the qin?" ”
Everyone shook their heads, isn't it, you look at the images of these one by one, all of them are military generals, Yuwen Chengdu smiled bitterly: "We are all five big and three rough generals, and we are not the beauty of the Three Kingdoms, you are a little embarrassed for us." ”
Qu Tushou nodded again and again, but no, we just came to see the excitement, and we didn't want to compete with others.
Among the few people present, only Li Junxian did not speak, and Li Yuanying said in surprise: "Okay, Junxian, so you can stroke the qin?" Great, the first level for you! ”
Li Junxian waved his hand again and again, "No, no, no, the last general, although the last general knows a little bit about it, but the piano skills are not good, it is difficult to get into the elegant hall, and she can't compare, as soon as she plays, she will lose directly, and she can't explain to the princess when she turns back." ”
That's right...... Hey, Bai is happy, the start is not good!
"By the way, let's not talk about who is on it, do we have money?" Li Yuanba exclaimed.
Everyone looked at each other again, no, Qu Tushou also shook his head, don't look at me, I am all bookkeepers.
What about the little pocket? I seem to have heard them say just now, a table is spent?
It's over, let alone the competition, and I can't afford to pay the registration fee.
But seeing that everyone was asking, Li Yuanying said in his heart that a loser can't lose the battle, so he replied loudly: "A song of liver and intestines is broken, where to find a soulmate at the end of the world!" My son's piano skills are too high, and others will not be eligible to enter the competition as soon as they make a move, so let others come first, and I will be the last. ”
After finishing speaking, Li Yuanying didn't forget to say to Qu Tushou, "The thousand taels, can you hang the account in your name?" I'll make it up to you later. ”
"No problem, since His Royal Highness said it, directly hang it on my father's account, and I'll report it to my father when I go back, where can I pay it back with His Highness? That's not a slap in the face. Qu Tushou said with a smile.
This? Hang on the old general's account? At such an old age, do you still come to the Qinglou to consume? Tsk, Qu Tushou, you are a pit father.
Ooh! It's a big breath, everyone is dumbfounded, almost no one believes his nonsense, and they all mock this Chang'an Li Shilang who brought the child in their hearts, you don't dare to fight, and you are not afraid to blow the cow to death!
On the contrary, it was Master Qin who praised: "What a sentence, where to find a bosom friend at the end of the world!" It seems that Li Gongzi is also a master of music and law, and the teacher is looking forward to Gongzi's methods. I wonder who else would like to advise? ”
Soon someone spent a lot of money to sign up, and the steward was pleasantly surprised, because there were four people who signed up, and it was 4,000 taels at once! I'm really afraid that Master Qin's piano skills are too high and no one will respond to the battle, wouldn't it be a loss in business?
