Chapter 49: Top of the Piano Rankings
Qi Huan is wearing a juan gauze gold silk embroidered brocade skirt today, and the sleeves and skirt are embroidered with gold silk embroidery thread, which looks particularly dazzling in the sun.
The crowd below let out exclamations, among the many official ladies, Qi Huan's appearance belongs to the middle and upper-middle, and then today's dress, there is a feeling of overwhelming the crowd, so that everyone has long forgotten the other female students who have played just now.
Qi Huan was very satisfied with this effect, and began to concentrate on stroking the piano, the song she chose was the falling geese, the melodious sound of the piano floated, the tune was smooth, and it sounded pleasant.
She didn't choose this song, but because Shen Yuyan found someone to send her a message yesterday, saying that it was a song chosen by Shen Yanshu, and it was well prepared.
Even if he is confident in his piano skills, he can't help but think when he hears such words, Zhuyu is in front, after listening to her song, if there is another song of falling geese, I am afraid that Shen Yanshu's results will not be too good.
After the song was finished, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Da Si Le gave a score of nine, Mr. Qinglan gave a perfect score, and Wu Bo Jushi only gave eight points. Twenty-seven points add up, which is the highest score so far.
"It seems that Mr. Qinglan and Wubo Jushi have different opinions on this song. Yan Xiao, who was sitting in the position of the chief inspector, suddenly spoke, "Can you two talk about it?"
Mr. Qinglan said: "Your Highness, everyone has a different opinion on the piano art, the little woman is not talented, I think that Miss Qi's music is skillful, it is really rare, and it is not inappropriate to give a full score." β
Wubo Jushi said: "Mr. Qinglan's words are wrong, the study of music and techniques are neither the only criterion for examination, nor the most important criterion. The song "Falling Goose" borrows the ambition of the bird and the bird, and writes the heart of Yishi. Although Miss Qi is skillful, her mood is too floating, but she can't hear the original timeless freshness of the song, which is quite a pity, so I think I can only score 8 points. β
As soon as Wubo's voice fell, there was a noisy discussion on the stage, some people felt that Wubo was nitpicking, and some people felt that it was very reasonable, and there was constant controversy for a while.
Both of them have a point. Yan Xiao said, turned his head to look at Yan Qinghan again, and asked, "Fourth brother, what do you think of Miss Qi's song?"
As soon as Yan Xiao's words came out, everyone focused their eyes on Yan Qinghan.
Yan Qinghan's face was indifferent: "It's very ordinary, it's not distinctive." β
Yan Xiao was stunned for a moment, then reacted again, and said with a smile: "It seems that the fourth brother must be good at listening to the music on weekdays." β
And Qi Huan felt very uncomfortable after hearing Yan Qinghan's words, so he saluted stupidly and returned to the position under the stage.
"Next, No. 18 Shen Yanshu. β
Hearing the sound of this announcement, the eager hearts of everyone in the audience boiled again, most of the people who came here to watch the game this year were still coming for Qi Huan and Shen Yanshu's gamble, and now Qi Huan has played well, and Shen Yanshu who will appear next is the biggest attraction!
Shen Yanshu was dressed as usual, wearing a white dress with plain makeup, which formed an obvious contrast with the other female students who had been carefully dressed before, and her posture was light, like a fairy who had fallen into the world by mistake.
Yan Qinghan's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
He wanted to see how capable this Shen Yanshu was, and he actually refused his help.
Although there were a lot of exclamations in the audience, there were also many voices that were not optimistic.
"It's like this, it's still compared to Miss Qi, I really don't know how thick the sky is!"
"Her reputation is so bad, I really don't know how she still has the face to take the school exam!"
"Dressed so poorly, it's not as good-looking as Miss Qi......"
The more the people below talked, the louder they talked, the more people said, the Buddha was like an appointment, loudly denouncing Shen Yanshu's mistakes, and it seemed to be noisy.
Shen Yanshu had already sat down, ready, and looked up at the people in the audience who were looking at her like a joke, and there was something else she didn't understand.
Her eyes moved to Qi Huan's body, but she saw Qi Huan looking like you and me.
Fuqin needs a relatively quiet environment, but Qi Huan secretly found some people to make a scene, and it was a mess, and few people could calm down and play, let alone let others enjoy the beautiful music.
Although there were people who tried to stop it, it didn't work, and those people simply turned a deaf ear and continued to make a loud noise.
Shen Yanshu's expression was still calm, he couldn't see a trace of panic and uneasiness, raised his slender hand, and was about to stroke the qin, but he heard Yan Qinghan's gloomy voice.
"It's noisy. Come on, let's see who is still bothering the king listening to the music below, and pull it out and cut it directly!"
As soon as the words fell, the entire competition venue fell silent for a moment.
Cruel! King Ling is indeed as brutal as rumored!
Shen Yanshu was unmoved, and plucked the strings directly.
"Qiangβ"
A sonorous and powerful piano sound stunned everyone, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.
Shen Yanshu continued to play, the sound of the piano was high-pitched, exciting, everyone was stunned, as if they were in a fierce battlefield, their ears seemed to be echoing the sound of the horn on the battlefield, and the tragic scene of thousands of troops and horses fighting to the death was depicted in front of him.
I don't know how long it took, but the song slowly and tactfully went down, and the victory or defeat of the war was decided, and it was brisk, which made people breathe a sigh of relief, and the joy in their hearts also arose.
However, the style of the song suddenly jumped, and suddenly became deep again, which caught people off guard, from light and joyful to tragic and poignant, as if it had experienced a huge disaster, and formed a strong contrast with the previous one, but there was no sense of abruptness, only felt that I felt endless sadness from the fluttering song.
Shen Yanshu on the stage seemed to have already entered the realm of selflessness, and at the end of the song, tears also crossed his cheeks and dripped on the strings.
The competition hall was still quiet, and there was no sound, and even after Shen Yanshu stood up and saluted, everyone did not come to their senses.
"Okayβ"
Wubo Jushi suddenly clapped his hands and applauded, breaking the silence: "This is the song that really deserves full marks!
Da Si Le also nodded approvingly: "It's really rare." β
In the end, the three examiners all scored 10 points, and the total score was 30 points!
Qi Huan was unwilling, his eyes were frighteningly red, and when he saw that Shen Yanshu not only did not make a fool of himself, but also received such a high evaluation, he couldn't wait to tear Shen Yanshu apart directly.
Among so many subjects, she is best at this piano skill, she didn't think about losing to Shen Yanshu, how could she be willing!
Yan Xiao looked at Shen Yanshu, this seemingly weak woman, but there was cold perseverance in her bones, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and seemed to understand why Gu Ziyi hit a wall.
This woman is not simple.
"What kind of music Miss Shen played, this king has never heard it before. Yan Xiao asked.
Shen Yanshu replied: "This is a piece I made myself, named "God of War Words". β
"Interesting. Yan Xiao said, "The word God of War is appropriate, but why is the second half so sad, could it be that the God of War died on the battlefield?"
Shen Yanshu's eyes were dim and uncertain, and a trace of imperceptible hatred flashed in his eyes: "No." The god of war did not die on the battlefield, but he ended up bleak. β
Yan Xiao: "It turned out to be a sad ending. β
Yan Qinghan's eyes flashed, staring at Shen Yanshu, trying to see something from her face, but he had checked it many times, the third lady of the Shen family was extremely cowardly since she was a child, and her life in the Shen family was difficult, and she really didn't look like the same person as Shen Yanshu in front of her.
At the end of the first school exam, Shen Yanshu topped the list with a full score, which surprised many people.
For a while, Chang'an City set off another wave of public opinion, but this time, it was no longer a scandal about Shen Yanshu.
Shen Yanshu's song amazed the four seats, and many people talked about it, and those who didn't go to the school exam were very sorry to hear such remarks, wondering what kind of song could make so many people praise.
At the same time, regarding the bet between Shen Yanshu and Qi Huan, many people felt that Shen Yanshu might really win, and felt regret that they didn't choose her in the first place.
"Sister, you are so amazing, you don't know, I was so shocked at the time, your song is so shocking!"
On the way back to the house, Shen Yan'an kept chattering in Shen Yanshu's ear, Shen Yanshu felt that her ears were going to be calloused, she regretted that she agreed to take the same carriage with him, and she was still talking when she arrived in the mansion.
Shen Yanshu got out of the carriage and couldn't help but turn around and say to him: "My good brother, don't talk any more, I still want to go back and review the next subjects!"
The second brother was only happy for the third sister. Shen Xi'er, who got off the other carriage, stepped forward with a smile and said, "Today's third sister's song is unforgettable, and it deserves to be at the top of the list, congratulations to the third sister!"
"It's over, and the fourth sister is not bad. Shen Yanshu replied.
Shen Xi'er played smoothly and achieved average results, and she herself was already very satisfied with such results.
The whole family got out of the carriage, and Steward Cao had already greeted him.
Shen Jun instructed: "Let the big kitchen cook a table of good dishes, and everyone will have dinner together tonight." β
He is really happy, the Shen family has been unknown all these years, but in the past few days, not only his second son has been promoted to the secretary of the ministry, but even his granddaughter is so competitive, which really gives the Shen family a face.
Steward Cao could see that Shen Jun was in a good mood, and wanted to come to the two young ladies with good grades, so he hurriedly responded.
Shen Jun looked at Shen Yanshu, her face was very calm, as if all this had nothing to do with her, there was no sadness or joy. Since she was rescued from the water last time, she has always been this indifferent, and people can't guess her thoughts.
He knew that the Shen family had too much debt to Shen Yanshu over the years, and it could not be resolved overnight, maybe it would be much better when Shen Kangzhi came back.
In the evening, except for the Meng family and daughter, who were still grounded, the people of the Shen family all came together to eat together, which seemed a little happy, which reminded Shen Yanshu of the days in the Qi family, and ate with the family every day, which was the real happiness.
