Qiu Honglei's smile froze: "Oh? I'd like to hear more."
Although she said she wanted everyone to give their opinions and feedback, she was very confident in her own piano skills and didn't think these people could really offer any suggestions.
Having just been praised by everyone, she was inevitably somewhat pleased, so hearing these words made her slightly displeased.
Xie Xiu then said, "Miss Qiu, your performance just now was so moving that it brought tears to my eyes. Your ability to express emotions through music is truly superb. You are impeccable in terms of conveying emotions."
Upon hearing his words, Chu Hong's face turned pale, and he finally realized the mistake he had made.
Everyone knows that Xie Xiu has been pursuing women all these years, and although his cultivation level isn't great, his skills in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting are quite impressive. Since he said that, it proves that Qiu Honglei really did put a lot of emotion into her music.
No wonder I said those things and made her so angry.
Oh dear, I shouldn't have said such a risky thing just to show off.
As he was filled with regret, Xie Xiu continued, "Miss Qiu, you have done a perfect job in conveying your emotions, but there are a few flaws in your technique."
"When you were playing towards the end, perhaps you were too focused and swayed by the emotions of anger and sadness, so you played the symphony for a little too long, and you also played the final pentatonic note too fast, which caused a slight noise in the piece."
The altered note is equivalent to the key of F in modern Western music, and its tone is melancholic.
The Yu tone is equivalent to the key of A in modern Western music. It is higher than the altered Zheng tone and can express intense or high-spirited emotions.
Qiu Honglei was startled at first, then closed her eyes to recall, and only opened them after a long while:
"There's a saying circulating in the boudoirs of Mingyue City: 'If the music is wrong, Xie Lang will notice.' Today I've finally witnessed it firsthand."
"Thank you for your guidance, young master. Otherwise, I would still be complacent and unaware of my own shortcomings." Qiu Honglei bowed solemnly.
Xie Xiu hurriedly returned the greeting: "Miss Qiu, you flatter me."
At the same time, he felt ashamed. Although he was only slightly skilled at playing the zither and could fool young girls, he was still far inferior to a master like Qiu Honglei. Naturally, he could not have heard her fleeting flaw.
All of this was told to him by his older sister, Xie Daoyun.
Qiu Honglei showered her with praise, making everyone around her extremely jealous.
Even Xie Xiu was a little smug, thinking that she had impressed her today, and wondered if she would be chosen by her later.
At this moment, Xie Daoyun whispered behind him, "Don't forget to promise me that you'll take me with you when I invite you in later."
Xie Xiu felt a headache coming on. She thought to herself that she was probably the first person in the world to bring her sister to a brothel.
At this moment, Qiu Honglei suddenly turned her gaze and began to scan the other people in the room.
Those people stood tall and proud, hoping that they too could be questioned by Xie Xiu.
However, everything that needed to be said had already been said by others, especially Xie Xiu's critique, which everyone thought no one could surpass.
Looks like Xie Xiu is going to get a good deal tonight.
The entire hall was instantly filled with a sour smell.
But then Qiu Honglei suddenly spoke up: "I heard that the Chu family's son-in-law, Young Master Zu, has also come. I wonder where he is now?"
Upon hearing her words, everyone's eyes instantly focused on Zu An, causing him to freeze as he was about to eat the grapes that Leng Shuangyue was feeding him.
"What exactly is this woman trying to do?" Pei Mianman, on the second floor, had a dangerous glint in her peach blossom eyes as she was filled with inexplicable doubt.
This was also a question on the minds of others present, as there were many people with higher status and position than Zu An.
To put it nicely, he is the son-in-law of the Chu family;
To put it bluntly, he was nothing more than a lowly son-in-law.
Why does Qiu Honglei, who is as beautiful as a fairy, look down on everyone else but pay special attention to him?
Feeling everyone's gaze, Zu An frowned. Judging from the anger points he had just received, this woman clearly knew him, but was now pretending not to.
There must be something fishy going on here!
"You're Zu'an?"
Before he could say anything, a voice rang out through gritted teeth.
Chen Xuan's anger level increased by 1024!
Zuan glanced at Chen Xuan, whose eyes were practically spitting fire, and was puzzled. Based on his experience in collecting anger points, anyone who could contribute 1024 anger points at once must have a deep-seated hatred.
Did I kill this guy's father, or did I sleep with his wife?
Why such a strong reaction?
Zuan sighed: "I've been low-key enough throughout the whole process, just in case I stole your thunder and let you do whatever you wanted. I didn't expect to become the focus of the whole place. Sure enough, a man as outstanding as me is so cool wherever he goes."
