The three of them arched their hands together and said, "Please also ask Master Hou to ask the question!"

Liu Haojia said: "You scholars always say that you are good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, so the first item is the piano!"

Hearing Liu Haojia's question, the scholars who were still happy were a little silent! The piano is a good thing, but this thing is not tested in the exam! But it's really hard to get them to talk about the topic! Because just like Liu Haojia said, we readers don't always say that piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are basic skills, but now there is no way to change our words!

The servant looked at the two of them left and right, and his face was a little embarrassed when he saw the question, but he couldn't lose face in front of Liu Haojia, so he simply said: "Students and others have a little knowledge of the qin, then it's the qin!"

Liu Haojia looked at the other two people, and when he saw that they also nodded, he directly sent the piano to them. So immediately a maidservant girl laid out two brocade carpets on the ground, and put two piano cases on it, and finally put the guqin on it.

It's not that Liu Haojia is exquisite, but that's what playing the piano looked like in ancient times. In ancient times, there were generally two postures for playing the piano, one was to play the piano on a formal case like this. After the piano is placed, the person sits cross-legged next to the piano case and raises his hand to play. This type of playing is played on a relatively long scale.

The other is that people sit cross-legged on the ground and put the piano on their laps to play directly, but this kind of piano is relatively short and can be regarded as travel size!

Seeing that the piano was set, Liu Haojia waved his hand casually and said, "Which of the three of you will come first?"

It seemed that Jin Pu had a relatively high status among them, and the other two looked at him with expectant eyes, so he gritted his teeth and said, "The student will take the lead!"

After getting Liu Haojia's signal, he walked to the brocade carpet, took off his shoes, crossed his knees, and slowly played an ancient song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" after brewing for a while.

Liu Haojia listened to him playing, but he was a little disapproving! Because Jin Pu's playing is really average! However, he still listened patiently, and after listening to it, he applauded him with the scholars, which made Jin Pu's face much better!

Then Liu Haojia motioned for him to sit down, and then said to the other two, "Which of you two is going?"

Wu Jifeng took the lead in getting up and saluting, and then went over to play the piano without saying a word. Liu Haojia listened to his playing and affirmed one thing, that is, his playing is not as good as Jin Pu's playing!

After Jiang Lin came on the field, Liu Haojia knew that this was also a very ordinary level, at most it was the level of an amateur. And coincidentally, the three of them played all "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"!

The three of them finished playing, and all the scholars looked at Liu Haojia with blank eyes, hoping that he would quickly admit that he couldn't! Maybe they thought that how could such a martial artist be good at playing! But he didn't want to be buried by Liu Haojia first, and said, "Why do you just play "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", do you have nothing to do for a day and think about women! Let's just play the same tune as you, or it won't be easy to distinguish between you!"

Then Liu Haojia got up and sat down on the brocade carpet, and after a while, he began to play! But as soon as Liu Haojia's "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" was played, the faces of the scholars sank! Because anyone with long ears can hear it, Liu Haojia's playing level is definitely above the three of Jin Pu! Even people who don't have a sense of musicality can hear it, and his playing is at least much smoother than that of Jin Pu!

In fact, it is too simple for Liu Haojia to win against them! First of all, the guqin is a very expensive instrument, but it is the instrument that best represents Confucianism! But the guqin has one characteristic, that is, it is expensive!

Ordinary guqins cost tens of hundreds of taels of silver, and it is common for some to have a large number of hundreds of taels. If it is the best thousands of taels is also him, tens of thousands of taels of silver are also him! Therefore, these ordinary scholars have the opportunity to touch such a lofty thing!

After all, it is already very difficult for the family to provide them with education, and if you add learning guqin, you basically don't want to be able to afford it! Because in addition to the high value of the guqin itself, the maintenance is not much cheaper than the pen, ink, paper and inkstone!

And Liu Haojia is different! The Liu family cultivated him in the direction of a scholar in the early years, so he naturally made a lot of money! And although the Liu family said that they were poor at that time, it was also relative! After all, when Zhang Shunping rented the Hou Mansion, the Liu family also had hundreds of thousands of rents a year. So let Liu Haojia learn to play the guqin

Playing is as simple as it gets!

And since accepting the famous pianist Tan Cuiying in Beijing as a concubine, even for the pleasure of the boudoir, I have studied with her to play for a period of time! Under Tan Cuiying's guidance, it can be said that his piano skills have improved by leaps and bounds, where can these people who can't touch the piano a few times a year be able to compare!

And these people probably don't learn the piano seriously, it's just vassals and elegance, saying that they can play the piano! Even the piano they use to practice is probably borrowed a few times from their classmates' homes, or they simply learned some when they were laughing with their sisters when they were drunk in the Qinglou, and they can play coherent tunes now!

Waiting for Liu Haojia to return to the table and sit down steadily, he took a sip of the teacup before saying, "How is it, how is it playing this time?"

The scholars here, including Jin Pu and others, are basically people who don't know how to bend, and they really can't pull their faces and say that you can't play, so what answered Liu Haojia was silence!

It wasn't until a moment later that Jin Pu arched his hand and said, "I didn't expect Hou Ye's piano skills to be so superb, and he admitted defeat at the inferior level!"

But then he raised his head and said, "But I think there will be a competition in the future, and the students may not keep losing!"

Liu Haojia high-fived and said, "Okay, a little backbone! So let's move on to the next one, which is shooting! Come, bring up bows and arrows, and firearms!"

At the mention of the word "shooting", the faces of all the scholars present changed! They are all scholars, how can they shoot arrows? Isn't that something that martial artists can do? But they already understood that Liu Haojia was probably competing with them in the six arts of gentlemen, and they couldn't allow them to argue, so they all blushed one by one! ap.

Liu Haojia looked at their appearance and knew that they were simply a group of mallets on the word "shooting"! So he laughed and got up and said, "It seems that you have eaten all the things taught by the saints!"

After speaking, Liu Haojia picked up his bow and arrow, aimed at the target more than 20 steps away, and shot three arrows in a row! Although no arrows hit the red heart, they are all dangling on the seven or eight rings, which is much stronger than these scholars who can't pull the bow of their faces!

After shooting the bow and arrow, he grabbed the fire gun again, aimed at the target, and shot! It stands to reason that the firearm does not have such a high accuracy at all, but today God gave face, and the lead bullet hit the bullseye directly!
