Like weeping and complaining, when the mood is depressed, the zither sound has a touch of lightness. Each sound seems the same, but it gradually dissipates the sadness that shrouds the whole body. The light sound, the iron cavalry...
As the last note falls, the initial lingering feeling seems to be joined by a sound of tenderness. It is different from the sweetness of the first love at that time. The atmosphere at this time is like fine wine, the more mellow it is, the more fragrant it is. Even if there is only the aftertaste, it is enough to linger in the ears for three feet.
There was silence in the building for a while, until someone started to applaud, and the atmosphere instantly became lively. Even people who didn't understand music could be infected by the music, let alone people who did.
Chen Tang covered his heart, which was beating violently, as if it would jump out of his chest if he didn't hold it down. He had listened to countless pieces of music, but none of them could be so shocking.
"This music must be found only in heaven," Yun Hui slowly stood up and stood by the fence, gazing at the curtains. "I wonder what kind of person could play such a piece of music. If I could see it once, it would be a lifetime well spent."
"Zi Yu is also an expert in music, can you understand the meaning of this?" Chen Tang's expression had returned to normal when he walked to his side, but an idea came to his mind.
"I only know a little bit about it, but I think that song has all the emotions and feelings. It's a rare perfect song. But I'm not as good as you, Jingchen, in this respect." Yun Hui said.
This was definitely not something that someone with a slight knowledge of music could detect, so Chen Tang just thought he was being modest.
Amidst the cheers, the waiter stepped forward and shouted, "Who wants to guess? If you guess right, you can skip today's drinks and food. If you guess wrong... you'll have to write a poem for this visitor for everyone to enjoy."
"This shop owner is indeed a gentleman," Yun Hui chuckled. Even such punishment was considered a refined thing, which really made people fascinated.
The crowd's slightly noisy followers stopped thinking, and one person raised his hand and declared, "I'll come. The sound of the zither carries the sound of swords and horses, the blood of the soldiers guarding the border on the battlefield."
Someone was deep in thought. The waiter lifted the curtain and peeked in, seemingly asking something. When he came out, under everyone's expectant gaze, he shook his head and said, "Only part of it is right."
The man felt a little sorry, but he immediately picked up the paper and pen beside him and buried his head in writing a poem. Yun Hui didn't see anyone around, and was about to answer when he heard the person next to him say in a high voice: "If I answer, don't skip the wine and food tonight, just ask the musician to come out and see me, how about that?"
He was flamboyant in appearance and in words. When the people in the building saw who it was, they all fell silent. Could it be that the young master of the Shen family really came to cause trouble?
"This..." The waiter hesitated, then poked his head back into the curtain. After a while, he came out and said, "The musician replied, sir, if you can figure it out, we can play a new piece. However, the musicians in this building are not the kind to play around in brothels. They only use music to entertain friends."
This was said with applause from the whole room. The literati were somewhat noble and could not help but look down on the decadent music in the brothels. Moreover, the songs there were so different from those played by Yunlai Ke that it was hard to find a song. They were definitely not comparable to those played by the actors.
Lin Su didn't have these ideas. Unlike the class differentiation ideas of the people here, for him, no matter what profession one has, it's just a way to make a living. As long as they don't cheat or steal, it's a legitimate job, and no one is superior to anyone else.
The purpose of his doing this was just to whet the appetite of the peacock. It was so difficult to arouse its interest, and it would be meaningless if he succeeded too easily.
Men are inherently fond of conquering and pursuing. The harder something is to get, the more they want it, especially smart men who have power.
It would be very interesting to see the little peacock spread its feathers towards him.
Chen Tang had anticipated that it would not be so easy to see her, but being rejected like this, the fire in his heart seemed to burn even brighter. Even if we don't see each other today, we can always see each other again in the future, so there is no rush.
"The song contains five emotions: childhood sweethearts, sending you thousands of miles away, cavalry, returning home in glory, and supporting each other through thick and thin." Chen Tang said.
The song tells the story of a couple's love from childhood to old age, and also about the husband's ambition to achieve great things. It makes people feel that such a life cannot be more perfect, so the lingering sound is lingering and memorable.
Yun Hui listened to his interpretation of the music, and a look of admiration flashed in his eyes.
The waiter asked again, and when he came out, he bowed and congratulated: "Young master, you are so talented that you can say it all. The musician Su Wen has found a soulmate and will give you another song."
"His name is Su Wen?" Chen Tang asked.
"The musicians at Yunlai Ke all have code names, not their real names," the waiter replied, then turned around, carried out the zither, and sent in the piano.
"Musician, please come in," Chen Tang extended his hand.
The cheerful sound of the piano flowed from it, dancing in people's hearts like running water playing with pearls. It was full of tenderness and longing, which made Chen Tang's hand, which was originally beating, stop suddenly.
Yun Hui was a little surprised when he heard the meaning of the song. The love proposal was very obvious in the song. If the two of them played it privately when they were in love, it would be a confession of their true feelings. But now, in front of the audience, it had a teasing meaning.
Chen Tang naturally noticed many people's surprised looks, but he didn't feel like he was being teased. Instead, he found it novel. Usually, he was the only one who teased others, but this guy was very brave.
The original curiosity became tenfold.
After the song ended, Chen Tang came back to his senses, a smile on his lips: "He's teasing me."
But he still had that playboy look as if he had been lingering among the flowers for a long time.
Yun Hui was relieved to see that he was calm: "This song is also very wonderful."
"He does have some skills," Chen Tang twirled his fingers lightly, savoring the feeling of the fine threads entwined around his heart. "If I can buy this Yun Lai Ke, I'll ask him to play as many songs as I want."
When the music ended, no one came out from the curtain. Only those with quick eyes could see one of the figures fly up and disappear. The others were a little surprised when the curtain rose, but the regulars here were already accustomed to it and were discussing today's new song.
"These two pieces of music can only be composed by great people. This Yunlai Ke is truly a hidden dragon and crouching tiger."
"I'm afraid it's going to be all the rage in the capital again, which would be a real treat for us."
Xiao Huang frowned and said, "It's not Qinggong." He didn't feel any fluctuations in his internal force, and he went directly to the fifth floor without any help. Only a master at the grandmaster level could do it.
"It's a trap," Chen Tang's eyes were filled with excitement, and he couldn't help but pace around twice. "If I can't get this Yunlai guest as I wish, I'm going to rob him openly."
Everything here is his favorite, even the mechanism is unheard of. If he was not sure that there is no such clever person among those he has made friends with or offended, he would have suspected that someone did it on purpose.
Someone else came in from outside the compartment. When the waiter came in, he was holding a scroll and handed it to Chen Tang: "Master Chen, this is the music score of the two songs just now. It was given by the musician Su Wen. Please accept it."
"Where's he?" Chen Tang took the music sheet, unfolded it, and almost couldn't hold back his expression. "Never mind, he disappeared today."
The waiter nodded and left. Xiao Huang noticed that he looked a little strange and asked, "What's written on the music sheet?"
