Chapter 155: Convincing
When he sat down at the piano table, Tang Tong rolled up his sleeves and adjusted the strings first. Put your hands on the strings, hold your breath, and pull out the thumb of your right hand, the sound is crisp and loud, and you play the mountains and rivers in a fast rhythm. If Su Jinglong plays at double speed, then Tang Tong is one point and two times the speed, that is, people who don't understand the strings think that Tang Tong plays well.
Su Jinglong has reached the extreme of playing the mountains and flowing waters, if you want to surpass him, you can only be fast-paced, whether it is a master or a person who does not understand the art of the piano, he has a slight advantage in the senses. And the whole song, not only fast but also without mistakes, a crisp pause at the end, echoing the beginning of the distant imagination, a song of mountains and flowing water in one go.
When Tang Tong stood up and saluted, applause resounded throughout the hall, and even Su Jinglong could only shake his head and clapped his palms. Tang Tong had to salute the crowd around him again. This time Huqin's face was heavy, she was in no mood to applaud anymore, but the waiter next to her clapped her palms, and Baoqin stared at it with some ill will, but the waiter didn't think so.
"The master and the master have made moves, the focus is to capture the hearts of the people here, now Su Gongzi has nothing to say!", Liu Qinglian, who was sitting in the front row of the right hall, spoke all the time.
"I think that the mountains and rivers are better than others, but my skills are not as good as others, and I will admit the judgment under him!", Su Jinglong waved his hands very gracefully, and he couldn't see any anger in his heart, and he talked and laughed freely in his manners, which couldn't help but make people admire.
All of you here are string players, and you know the difference in skill, and no one is talking about it for a while. Suddenly, a voice came: "Isn't there anything better than this in the hall?", everyone saw that it was Zheng Liang, who was embarrassed just now.
Seeing everyone looking at him with strange eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little weak. He is a face-loving person, pretending not to understand and then asking: "Can you just admit defeat like this?", as soon as the words came out, the people present couldn't help but despise him, he was obviously an alien imbecile, I don't know who brought him here, he really looked away, and some people also laughed.
"The Suntai Association is to meet friends with the piano, how can it only be compared with the high. Besides, everyone has good strengths and weaknesses, I just have some advantages in the high and exciting piano music, if you want to say that the love is long, it must be Mrs. Lu, and then I will ask Mrs. Lu to present a song for me, everyone is welcome!", or Tang Tong broke this embarrassing situation.
Everyone was in the piano pool, and they knew Liu Qinglian's weight, so they immediately applauded together. Zheng Liang seemed to have something to say, but he was drowned in the sound of enthusiastic anticipation. Liu Qinglian stood up, saluted everyone, and slowly walked to the piano table.
After sitting down, he bowed his head again, held the strings and paused for a while, and a song of plum blossoms rose softly. This is a slow-paced tune, naturally to calm down and listen, some people closed their eyes, in the careful recollection, most people look at Liu Qinglian's figure, especially men, not only the sound of the piano is good, people are even more handsome, the combination of the two makes people happy, and women are for her exquisite piano skills. But there are also people who are different, the most obvious is Baoqin, she only has Su Jinglong in her eyes, whoever plays well among the women will arouse her jealousy, and she looks disdainful and indifferent, but everyone is focused on Liu Qinglian, and they don't notice her, that is, they see that a concubine is not worth caring about at all in their hearts, but Baoqin is self-righteous.
I have just heard the passionate sound of the piano, and then I have heard a good piano music, and it is such a long piano sound, it is really refreshing. So as soon as Liu Qinglian finished playing, the hall burst into fierce applause. At this time, Qin Yunhou stood up and praised: "Since Mr. Zhou's death, the old man has heard such an elegant piano sound again. Mr. Zhou's closed disciples are not ordinary, and Mrs. Lu is even more of a dragon and phoenix among people.", turned his head and said to Luo Yan: "Old Luo! What do you think?".
Luo Yan nodded, did not stand up, and said, "What Qin Ge Lao said is true!" I used to just hear it, but now when I hear the sound of Tang Tong's piano, I really have the demeanor of Mr. Zhou, which makes me feel very gratified!".
To get the praise of the two seniors, ordinary people will get carried away, but Tang Tong said respectfully: "The two pavilion elders praise it!" How can I be side by side with Mr. Zhou, I want to get Mr. Zhou's allocation back then, and the younger generation will be fortunate in three lives!".
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tang Tong waved his hand and said, "Can you ask the two pavilion elders to play a song, let me listen to it later!".
Qin Yunhou and Luo Yan hurriedly waved their hands, only to hear Qin Yunhou say, "No!" Or you young people cut themselves, and you don't show ugliness when you are old.", Ai Zheng also nodded yes, it seems that he also agrees with it, and he is also here to be an audience.
The performance in the back is still very exciting, but with Tang Tong and Liu Qinglian's finale, no one can surpass them. Everyone enjoyed it, not just to watch the two perform, it was just right to make a mistake.
Tang Tong and Zhou Zhitho sent Luo Yan first, Qin Yunhou and Ai Zheng left, and the three of them inevitably praised Tang Tong in front of Zhou Zhitho. Luo Yan and Ai Zheng left first, Qin Yunhou was waiting for Qin Xinyi, still standing by the gate with Tang Tong and Zhou Zhitho.
When Qin Xinyi and his party were about to come to them, they followed Zheng Liang, only to see that his face was heavy. Qin Yunhou bowed slightly and said, "I'll leave first, and when I have time, I will invite the two of you to the mansion to listen to the sound.".
Tang Tong just bowed deeply, and Zhou Zhixuan bowed his hand and said, "Qin Pavilion old man is going well!".
When Qin Xinyi walked in front of Tang Tong, Tang Tong said with a smile: "It's a pity that I didn't hear Miss Qin play today, he will definitely ask for advice one day, so let's go!", completely ignoring Zheng Liang who was following her.
Everyone in the hall today could see that Tang Tong was fond of her, which made Qin Xinyi feel embarrassed, so she gave up playing in the hall, not wanting Tang Tong to provoke herself, so she couldn't help but stare at him. Tang Tong was just smiling, but he didn't care. When Zheng Liang walked by, he flicked his sleeve viciously in front of him and followed.
At this time, Xia Xunqiu and Jianchun also came over, Tang Tong just lowered his body, but Zhou Zhitho said politely: "Miss Xia hasn't played a song today, it's a pity, I hope I can hear you play next time!".
Xia Xunqiu stopped, and replied in a long voice: "Mr. Zhou has a successor, I don't know if I can see Lord Tang next year, otherwise it will be a pity.", After speaking, he glanced at Tang Tong.
Zhou Zhitho was a little puzzled, and said in a puzzled tone: "Won't the junior brother be in the capital next year?", looking at Tang Tong with puzzled eyes, and then at Xia Xunqiu, expecting to give himself an answer.
"I'll be going to the literary exam next month, and it's hard to see if I'm out of office, and I didn't come to Kyoto last year, let alone outside.", Xia Shunqiu replied first. Tang Tong didn't know what she meant when he heard it, did he miss himself?
Zhou Zhitho looked at Tang Tong in surprise, and said enviously: "Senior brother originally participated in the spring exam, I wish junior brother the first class in high school.".
"Cheng Senior Sister Jiyan, I will take the exam seriously, and then invite Senior Sister to drink.", there is an inexplicable confidence between the words, speaking very easily, and his eyes are constantly looking at Xia Shunqiu.
At this time, a mocking voice came, "The Gongyuan is opened by your family, and it is like a house. Be careful of falling off the list, I don't know where to cry.", the three of them looked at it, it turned out to be Song Yunshi and Yi Junke walked over, and Yi Junke couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.
Before the three of them could react, Yi Jun said unforgivingly: "Show off in front of the hall now, how can you play with the women in the world, be careful of stealing chickens, burn your eyebrows.", as soon as these words came out, Song Yunshi felt that it was a little too much, so she taught: "You Nizi!" What nonsense!", as he said he pulled her and was about to leave.
"No wonder there was a big sour smell, it turned out that Miss Yi was jealous. It's a pity that I am too young, and there are three peerless paintings in my house, otherwise it would be a beautiful thing to give them to Master Yi in exchange for Miss Yi.", Tang Tong shook his head and said very meanly.
Yi Junke's father, Yi Nengchang, painted like his life, and sent three treasures to the door to propose marriage, and he definitely agreed. This is poking Yi Junke's shortcomings, how can he not be angry, and he was about to step forward to theorize, but he was pulled by Song Yunshi. scolded unforgivingly: "Just you rough man, marry a pig and a dog, and don't marry you hypocrite!", looked at him viciously, and was reluctantly pulled away by Song Yunshi.
Since that time to save Yi Junke, the two of them will have to fight as soon as they meet, and it can't be said that Yi Junke likes himself, at least he cares. Xia Xunqiu and Zhou Zhitho don't know the reason, but only Song Yunshi knows Yi Junke, who has always been spicy, just to sneer at those who care.
So Xia Xunqiu also teased: "Lord Tang has been in Beijing for three years, his reputation is increasing, and his business is hot, how can he not recruit a woman to be treated, if he really takes the test, it is a civil and military jinshi, which girl is not hot, be careful not to be dazzled.", said and smiled unintentionally.
"This Miss Yi is probably also like this, but it's a pity that it's fierce, it's better not to provoke the junior brother.", Zhou Zhitho kindly persuaded.
"One thing descends one thing, Lord Tang may be the brine, don't say it! Master Zhou, the little woman says goodbye!", after saying that, Xia Xunqiu saluted the two, and then left with Jianchun.
Looking at the background of Xia Xunqiu's departure, Zhou Zhitho asked puzzledly: "Miss Xia seems to have something to say, what does the junior brother think?"
Tang Tong changed the topic and said: "We have known each other before, and when we heard that she was going to get engaged to Master Li, we were very reluctant. Masters! You go back and see if there are any more guests, don't slack off!".
Zhou Zhitho didn't figure it out, but Tang Tong was reasonable, so he walked to Suntai Hall alone.
