Chapter 185: High Mountains and Flowing Water
As the name Huaian suggests, the whole dress is white. This white Hanfu is completely different from the cheap white prop Hanfu that Liu Lan wore when she met Xiao Keer.
This is a real Chinese dress. Its white color is very pure, the kind of white found in cotton and linen, not the pure white of modern fabrics. If you look closely, you can see the lapels and hems of the clothes, with individual locust flower petals embroidered with silk. They look very realistic, and what's even more beautiful is that when the light shines on these locust flower petals, the petals turn into a very light green.
Green and white are both soothing colors, perhaps that is why the designer named it "Huai'an".
After Liu Man changed her clothes, Tao Zhiyao clapped and praised, "The goddess of Hanfu is here again."
"Standard white," Li Xiaoru said with a smile.
Didn’t Liu Lan become famous because of her white Hanfu?
However, in this place, Shen Mozhen is the protagonist and Liu Lan is the supporting role. Her clothes are already very cool, so Miao Xiaomei toned down Liu Lan's makeup and only applied foundation and blush that matched her skin color to make her complexion look more even under the spotlight. Miao Xiaomei also combed Liu Lan's hair into a simple bun, not as complicated as last time.
By the time Miao Xiaomei had finished styling Liu Lan, Shen Mozhen and Wen Fangfei's performances had already begun.
The two of them performed a Guzheng duet, "Chang Xiang Si".
...
...
This piece of music is a freehand version of Bai Juyi's poem "Longing": "The Bian River flows, the Si River flows, flowing to the ancient ferry of Guazhou, and the Wu Mountain is dotted with sorrow. Longings and hatreds are endless, and the hatred will not end until I return home, and people lean against the building in the moonlight."
The song started with Wen Fangfei, and she played the first half solo.
Thanks to Professor Su's high-pressure teaching method, Liu Lan not only knew the life of Bai Juyi, but also had just memorized this poem, but she had never heard the music.
Since Wen Fangfei is Shen Mozhen's junior sister, her guzheng skills are undoubtedly very high. Liu Lan has also witnessed this when she rehearsed with her.
From Wen Fangfei's piano playing, Liu Lan could feel sadness and longing. Perhaps this song, like its lyrics, expresses the resentment of a woman in the boudoir.
The first section played by Wen Fangfei ended, and the next section was played solo by Shen Mozhen. When Shen Mozhen's piano sounded, Liu Lan's eyes suddenly lit up.
Because she felt a very obvious difference. The boudoir grudge is still the same boudoir grudge, but no matter how deep the love, how lonely, how painful the separation, it will eventually disappear in the clouds and breeze.
Shen Mozhen's realm is much higher than Wen Fangfei's!
Perhaps this is why Shen Mozhen is called the goddess of folk music. Her talent and understanding are indeed beyond the reach of others.
At the end of the song, there was another round of warm applause.
Shen Mozhen and Wen Fangfei stood up at the same time and greeted the audience.
Wen Fangfei left the stage from the left, while Shen Mozhen looked to the right with a smile on his face, making an inviting gesture.
At this time, the last piece of the night, "High Mountains and Flowing Water", was displayed on the screen, with Shen Mozhen playing the guzheng and Liu Man playing the guqin.
The audience seats, which had been solemn and quiet until now, were filled with low voices of surprise and discussions.
Everyone was whispering to each other, asking, "Is Liu Lan that Liu Lan?"
How many Liu Lans are there in Capital Conservatory of Music?
When Liu Lan appeared from behind the scenes and walked to Shen Mozhen, the audience was stunned.
It really is that Liu Man!
Liu Lan is the only one who can play the guqin.
But aren't they rivals in love? Shen Mozhen was actually willing to invite her to perform on the same stage! Everyone was very surprised.
