Chapter 977 Liang Yue (4)
Guyu came out after a long while and said, "There is only one Jiaowei Qin in Bixiao Tower, Madam..."
The scorched tail harp had a unique sound, and Guyu knew it well. After following Shen Miao for so many years, she had never seen her play the harp before. She secretly resented the Ye family's daughter for having bad intentions, forcing Shen Miao to do such a refined act. At the same time, she felt a sense of embarrassment for Shen Miao. If she tried to act pretentious, the only face she would lose would be her own. Especially in this unfamiliar foreign country, no one would show any respect to Shen Miao for the sake of the Shen family. Most people here harbored ulterior motives, eager to take advantage of her misfortune.
Especially with Ye Mei's unique ink dance as a shining example, everything Shen Miao did pales in comparison.
“No problem, just take it.” Shen Miao said.
Upon hearing this, the ladies and girls around began to whisper to each other.
"Isn't he said to be a rough and uncouth man? Why do you still want me to play the piano for you?"
"He must be trying to compete with Miss Ye. He's really competitive."
"Alas, what a pity for Prince Rui's Mansion. I'm afraid it will be humiliated today."
"The people of Mingqi are truly unworthy of the stage. They don't even consider their own worth."
They spoke in low voices, but their mocking gazes could not be concealed. Luo Tan was full of confidence. Although she had never heard Shen Miao play the piano, she always felt that Shen Miao was omnipotent. If she could say it, she must be able to do it.
Ji Yushu whispered to Gao Yang, "Sister-in-law can really play the piano? The information we found out at the Fengxian Pawnshop wasn't even from hiring a pianist. Self-taught? That's amazing."
Gao Yang shrugged: "I don't know either, let's wait and see."
Pei Lang was among the guests at the banquet. Guangwen Hall offered qin lessons, but Shen Miao had chosen not to repair the qin. Pei Lang had also heard the teacher there complain that Shen Miao couldn't even distinguish the strings. Seeing Shen Miao gladly accept, he couldn't hide his surprise. He couldn't help but glance at Xie Jingxing, thinking that Shen Miao was so competitive, probably because of Xie Jingxing.
Xie Jingxing frowned slightly, but his hand holding the wine cup tightened slightly.
Shen Miao burned incense and washed her hands, then said calmly, "This piece of music is called 'Blood Ode'. It's about a young princess who was forced to marry an enemy country and condescend to marry a rude enemy leader who was over fifty years old. She was confused and uneasy about the future, but she could do nothing about it. She hoped to change her father's mind, and she composed this piece out of grief and despair." Her voice was faint, like the faint moonlight, and it actually calmed people down quickly after the passionate dance of Madam Mei, as if she had entered the story with her words.
She plucked the strings.
The sound of the Jiaowei Qin is heavy, unlike the clear sound of ordinary Qin, and it is difficult to move people's hearts when it is plucked. But she played it bit by bit, for a long time.
It was clearly the sound of an inexplicable piano, yet each note gripped the heart. From the first pluck, the hall fell silent.
She opened her mouth slowly and sang slowly.
"The Yangtze River flows majestically from the west, with clouds and mountains on the surface and pavilions on the mountains. The mountains and water are connected, the pavilions face each other, all arranged by heaven."
"Walking under the moon, running under the stars, a lonely house with cold food in my hometown in autumn, worry on the pillow, worry on the horse, rest after death."
Her voice was usually gentle and clear like water, but now it was filled with sorrow, making people's eyes red and their hearts ache. As she sang and played the piano, people seemed to imagine the young princess, who was as lovely as snow and rain, but was forced to wear a phoenix crown and a red robe, sitting in a corner of the palace in bitterness. The palace was majestic and deep, originally
At such an innocent age, he has to face a not easy fate.
