Chapter 51 Three kinds of musical instruments can slap the face
Mr. Qin did not answer, but just admired quietly.
Zhou Yuqi finally panicked. This piece of music was indeed played with superb technique. The transitions between breath and rhythm were smooth and without any noise or white sound.
The sound of the flute stopped and the cheers began.
Even though the people below didn't understand music at all, they still thought the song was really nice.
The performances after that seemed to be affected by the flute music and were not as good as before. Perhaps after hearing the amazing music, the judges had become more eager and set stricter standards, so the subsequent results were not very optimistic.
In the first round of competition, only ten were left from so many people.
When the comprehensive results were calculated, the cubicle where Lu Wenxue was located was ranked eleventh.
When the curtain of the partition where she was was opened, revealing her angry face, Chen Suyue and Wen Haiyue both felt relieved.
The most regrettable thing is that Lian Yuyan is not here, otherwise she could have personally witnessed the lonely scene of Lu Wenxue, the cheating monster.
"There must be something fishy going on here!"
Qin Lao stood up calmly and said directly, "Next, I would like to invite the county lady to witness with me and see whether all the selections are fair. I believe that with the county lady's help in supervision, the results will be more convincing."
Lu Wenxue was trapped there, and if she didn't agree, she had no way to get off the stage.
"It was originally agreed that I would perform, but you're making it seem like such a big deal. Since you've invited me so sincerely, I'll just begrudgingly supervise you."
After saying that, she tore off the moon robe she was wearing outside, stepped on it twice, then left the compartment and walked over to sit next to Master Qin.
She also looked at the paper in Qin Lao's hand and found that he had just given the highest score to the person who played the flute.
Although she knew that the man was really good, she couldn't be happy at all after seeing the grade behind her cubicle number which was just "passing".
"Master Qin is indeed strict..."
“No, no…”
It’s not that Mr. Qin didn’t understand the complaints and blame in her words, but he just pretended not to hear them.
The second round started soon, and this time everyone seemed to be more serious.
The partition where I just played the flute was replaced by the Xiao this time.
The sad and mournful voice makes people want to cry.
After all, Lu Wenxue was taught by a palace musician, so she had some appreciation ability. She knew that the flute music this time was also top-notch.
She quickly wondered in her mind how many people in Dizhou City had the ability to play the flute and the pipe to such a level.
After thinking for a long time, she still had no impression.
"Where are these people from now? Could they not be from our Dizhou City?"
She asked Mr. Qin doubtfully, how could there be someone she didn't know?
But Qin Lao said: "Of course."
Everyone cheered again, and Zhou Yuqi felt the pressure again.
He comforted himself, fortunately he was playing a wind instrument this time, as these instruments were inferior to the piano.
After all, the qin is the king of musical instruments, as long as the chimes are not there.
Only three people are left in this round of competition, and the elimination rate is quite high.
Lu Wenxue was still curious about who had passed two rounds with the best scores, but she was surprised by the result of one of the eliminated contestants when the curtain was lifted.
"Zhou Qinzhu? Why are you in there?"
She felt like she was being stabbed in the back. Zhou Qinzhu participated in this competition, but she didn't know about it. Moreover, she was eliminated in the first round, but Zhou Qinzhu actually advanced?
She stood up and walked over, unable to hide the doubt in her eyes.
"Don't you have anything to explain?"
Gu Ruanci in the cubicle really wanted to say, "You're so stupid. You have to explain even if you don't ask."
Sure enough, Zhou Qinzhu didn't even bother to take off her robe, but looked at Lu Wenxue with a sincere and apologetic expression.
"Wen Xue, you know my third brother has been the champion for several years in a row, and your piano skills are also so good. I have expressed my envy of you countless times and asked you for guidance."
"I'm not talented, I'm stupid, and I've been misunderstood by some people over the years. Only you and I don't look down on me. I want to be as good as you, so I practice hard in private."
"I believe that with your true strength, you will definitely advance. Although I don't know what just happened, you were the one who made it to the finals last year and competed with my third brother for the championship. Everyone will think that you just made a mistake."
"I thought that as your friend and my third brother's sister, I couldn't lose face no matter what, so I was too serious just now. Maybe it's because I didn't have such a heavy burden, so I played it well."
"But in my heart, you and my third brother are both equally good at playing the zither."
After Zhou Qinzhu's explanation, Lu Wenxue really believed it.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known you were fighting alongside me, I wouldn't have been so nervous just now."
Zhou Qinzhu apologized again and said, "So, I will discuss with you what I want to do in the future..."
"Okay, let's leave it at that this time. Anyway, no matter who stays until the end, they are no match for your third brother."
The crisis of trust was resolved, and Zhou Qinzhu returned to the Zhou family in a relaxed mood, still muttering that he had brought shame to them.
Zhou Yuxiu said, "Little sister, you're already amazing. You made it to the second round. You're much better than that Gu Ruanci. She's someone who doesn't understand music, but was chosen to be a judge. Even if it's not important, it's enough to make people laugh. She might have fallen asleep by now, and she won't even know what's so good about the other person's song."
Zhou Qinzhu advised, "Brother, please don't say that. Aunt passed away and she has been living alone for so many years. It's a blessing that she can come back alive. How can we expect her to be well-educated and proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting? Just give her some time to let her resolve the knot in her heart."
Zhou Yuxiu was still unhappy and said, "Little sister, kindness has to be used in the right place. Ever since she came back, you and mother have been saying good things about her even when she's not in front of her. Look at her. Does she have any intention of reconciling with our Zhou family? It was clearly her own choice back then, but now it's like everyone owes her something. You're just like mother, too soft-hearted."
While they were discussing, the third round of competition had already begun.
The previous two times, the sound of the flute and the xiao came from the compartment, but this time, the sound coming from the compartment was actually the guzheng.
Some people exclaimed, how come she knows everything?
In just a short while, there are already three instruments, and the performance level is so high.
Zhou Yuqi began to feel anxious. If she could also play the piano and her level was so high, would he still have a chance?
