Chapter 317: Abandonment of the race
Tang Yu shook his head and said, "You don't understand what I'm talking about. In fact, the old man did not disapprove of her because of the flaws in her performance, but aside from the performance skills, what she made the old man most unacceptable was this way of playing. Don't you think it's a bit of a juggling? In the old man's opinion, this is no different from the monkey show on the street. A man who loves music will never win applause with such a show-off skill. What's more, the old man didn't see her respect for the rhythm from her performance at all. The way of rhythm is vast and profound, and musicians only play one instrument in their lifetime, and they have not yet been able to get a glimpse of its full picture, let alone others. ”
Everyone pondered silently, what Tang Yu said also made some sense, after all, Tang Yu is a recognized contemporary master of music and rhythm, and his attainments are no longer at the level of skills. His demands on people have long gone beyond the skill of playing, and this is not deliberately nitpicking.
"If a man has a mouth, why should he use one mouth to play two pipes? People have hands, why do they use their feet to play the yaoqin? If she has two births, or a person with a broken arm, the old man will not come to her. Musical instruments are not playthings, the ancients still need to bathe, change clothes and burn incense before playing the qin, which is a kind of respect for the instrument and the rhythm. This is the sound of elegance, not to mention the act of taking off your shoes and playing the piano with your feet, which is a kind of blasphemy. Even if she has a good voice and excellent skills, so what? In the old man's place, she can only make a judgment. ”
Tang Yu's words made everyone nod again and again. The people who could sit on the judge's seat were all outstanding people in the world, and of course they understood what Tang Yu meant. In Tang Yu's view, skill is not the most important thing, but the most important thing is to respect the rhythm. Think about it, although Feng Susu's performance just now was amazing, it was indeed a bit like a monkey show. Moreover, playing the piano with the feet, although it is an extremely difficult skill, is indeed a little indecent and even a little blasphemous.
Tang Yu's words persuaded most people, and in the subsequent judgments, three people gave the next evaluation, five people gave the middle and lower evaluations, two gave the middle and lower comments, and Tang Yu even gave the lower comments. Four others gave a rating. On the whole, Feng Susu's performance was hit with a middle and upper rating. The results of the judging are sealed in a wooden box, and no one knows the results for the time being, and these will not be taken out and compared one by one until all the sessions are over.
On the scene, Zhao Zimo appeared again.
"The performance of Miss Feng Susu of Mingfeng Academy made the old man almost faint to death, there is such a genius in the world, it is really unbelievable. I hope that the families that appear later can be more restrained, and the old man still wants to live a few more years, and he doesn't want to die here. ”
The people burst into laughter, and someone shouted, "Sir, hold on, I'd like to see you preside over next year's Oiran Contest." ”
"Sir, don't panic, my Rejuvenation Hall Quick Acting Heart Pill can relieve fainting and palpitations. Come on, come on, send two boxes to my husband. ”
The people burst into laughter again. Zhao Zimo also laughed, waved his hand and said, "Don't laugh, do business." At this moment, the referee is judging the completion of the scene just now, and the next one to appear is the Wanhualou of my Hangzhou Mansion. Chu Xiangxiang's name is known all over the world, so there is no need for the old man to talk too much. ”
When the people of Hangzhou heard that the next scene was Chu Xiangxiang from Wanhualou, they immediately cheered like thunder. This is the Hangzhou government's own family, which is to be supported no matter what. Eighty or ninety percent of the people present were Hangzhou people, and the local Qinglou appeared, which was naturally thunderous, much more lively than when Feng Susu appeared just now.
"Please!" Zhao Zimo stretched out his hand and pointed in the direction of the Wanhualou Flower Boat, and the wooden row slowly rowed and disappeared into the shadows.
Everyone looked excitedly at the flower boat in Wanhualou, and they were ready to give the biggest cheer when the flower boat came. However, the strange thing is that everyone waited for a long time, but the flower boat of Wanhualou never moved. Soon after, a small boat quickly rowed from the side of the Wanhualou boat to the rest area on the water, and finally, in the surprised eyes of everyone, Zhao Zimo's wooden row was drawn out of the rest area again and came to the water in front of the stage.
Zhao Zimo's expression was a little wrong, and he seemed to be a little frustrated, but he still had a smile on his face and arched his hand towards the crowd of people who were talking about it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, there is an unexpected situation that needs to be reported to you. Miss Chu Xiangxiang of Wanhualou sent someone to inform me that Wanhualou ...... Announcing the absence! ”
"What?"
"What's going on? Why the abandonment? ”
The people of Hangzhou in the audience blew up the pot, and they suddenly became a mess.
"Do you need to say anything? I must have felt that my skills were inferior to others and there was no hope of winning the championship, and I was so frightened by our Feng Susu in Yangzhou just now that I didn't have the courage to go on stage. but it is wise not to bring shame upon yourselves. ”
The people who came to watch Yangzhou Mansion were overjoyed, and they couldn't rest without a few words of ridicule at this time.
"Fuck your stinking fart." How can the people of Hangzhou next to them tolerate it, they are already on fire, how can they be subjected to words again? A group of people got up and cursed, and it looked like they were going to do it again. Ning's naval soldiers hurriedly scolded both sides and threatened to take people away, which quelled the group fight.
On the VIP seat, Wu Chunlai Shen let Liu Sheng and more than a dozen officials look happy, although they no longer said some heart-wrenching words in order to take care of King Liang's face, but they squeezed their eyebrows and covered their mouths and snickered at each other, but they were full of schadenfreude.
Guo Bing's face was pale and he sat silent, but Guo Kun didn't have the same cultivation as King Liang, so he couldn't help but turn his head and whisper angrily to the little county lord: "What's the matter? What the hell is Lin Jue doing? Girl, that's how you prepared for the Oiran Contest? Is it the fear of abstention? Do you want to give up the Oiran? ”
Guo Caiwei was also stunned, shook her head and said, "It's impossible, I don't know why Lin Jue did this." ”
"Shen Tan, go find Lin Jue and ask him to give us an explanation. This and bastards, how dare they play with us. Guo Kun said angrily.
Shen Tan took the order and left. Guo Bing frowned and glanced at Yan Zhengsu who was sitting not far from him, Yan Zhengsu was expressionless, but he also looked very calm.
"Lord Yan, what do you think? Lin Jue: What is this going to do? Guo Bing asked in a low voice.
Yan Zhengsu looked ahead, didn't turn his head, and only said in a deep voice: "Since Lin Jue is in charge, why question his decision?" Regardless of the reason for withdrawing from the competition, it is important to respect his decision. The so-called employment is not suspicious, and this is the case. What's more, you and I both know what kind of person Lin Jue is, if he doesn't want to participate in this Oiran Competition, he won't agree to the prince to take charge at all. I think he should have his considerations, and I trust him. ”
Guo Bing was stunned, frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded slowly and said, "What Lord Yan said is that this king also believes him." ”
Shen Tan came back soon after, and replied in a low voice: "Lin Jue said that he didn't have time to explain, so he only asked his subordinates to inform the prince and the little prince, just sit down, don't worry." ”
"What! He said lightly, okay, he won't come, I'll go to him and ask him what happened. Guo Kun said angrily.
"Kun'er!" Guo Bing shouted: "Why are you so breathless? Do you want to show people a joke? Hangzhou lost the Oiran today, so what? Give me a quiet stay. ”
Guo Kun puffed out his eyes and frowned, but finally sat down helplessly, but his face was gloomy.
The little county lord said in a low voice: "Daddy, I'll go and take a look." Ask to understand, so that Daddy and Brother can rest assured. ”
Guo Bing thought for a while and nodded, "It's okay, Wei'er can go and ask, but don't blame him." Perhaps he had other plans. You tell him that the king supports any decision he makes, and that he won't be blamed even if he falls tonight. ”
Guo Caiwei agreed in a low voice, stood up, and under the escort of several guards, boarded a small boat from the side pier and rowed towards the red boat of Wanhualou.
……
Wanhualou abandoned the competition, although it was unexpected and made the people of Hangzhou feel depressed, but the Oiran competition still had to continue. Due to the haste of the matter, there was a brief confusion on the scene before the draw was drawn before Fengyue Lou, who was in third place on the field, came on the field. But soon, the flower boat of Fengyue Tower in Jiangning Mansion slowly started and sailed towards the stage located on the north side.
The people gradually settled down, after all, Liu Yiyi of Fengyue Tower in Jiangning Mansion was rumored to be able to dance in the palm of his hand. Feng Susu's performance has proved that the rumors are true, so this Liu Yiyi's palm dance is worth looking forward to.
Nearly twenty women in colorful clothes on the Fengyue Louhua boat entered the backstage, and after the red curtain fell, there was silence all around. Suddenly, in the sound of drums, the curtain opened rapidly, and the lights on the stage were dazzling, and hundreds of red lanterns were lit, illuminating the stage with joy. In the sound of drums, the side curtains on both sides were lifted, and two teams of slender and beautiful women in colorful clothes flew out like stepping on Lingbo.
The women's long skirts are on the ground, their figures are slender and well-fitted, and their temples are high to reveal their swan-like slender necks. Just one woman is amazing, but there are twenty beauties on the stage at the moment, which is really beautiful. Many people in the audience who are mixed in the willow alleys of the flower world, seeing the full spring at this moment, can't help but roll their throats, their eyes protrude, and their index fingers move. It turns out that the quality of women in the flower world of Jiangning Mansion is so high, it is really beyond imagination. I thought that the woman in the flower world of Hangzhou Mansion was already the best in the world, but there were such a number of beauties on the first floor of this Fengyue Building, and it seemed that this trip to Jiangning Mansion was going to be put on the agenda.
On the stage, in the palatial lights, twenty women in colorful clothes began to dance. They danced their arms and kicked, in unison. When the jade arm rises and falls, the colored sleeves are like clouds and clouds, bringing out the fragrant wind. When the long legs are raised, the long skirt rises and falls, and there is a sound. When the skirt is flying, it is like a wave surging, wave after wave, beautiful, and this scene is indescribable.
The drums began to beat rapidly, and the formations on the stage began to change, and in just a short tea time, twenty women changed seven or eight formations. Or round or square, or composed of blooming flowers, or as the shape of auspicious clouds, or in the shape of a phoenix, or into the posture of a colorful bird, the changes are wonderful, wonderful.
Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded, and when it came to watching the dance, many people in the audience had seen too much. For example, King Guo Bing of Liang, there are dozens of dancing girls in the palace of King Liang, and when feasting and drinking on weekdays, the dancers also come out to dance in groups. The musicians and dancers in the house also make many new dances on weekdays in order to please the prince. But even so, Guo Bing still had to admit that this dance of the women of Fengyuelou was the most pleasing group dance he had ever seen.
There was a sound of admiration in the audience, some people applauded loudly, and applause also rose spontaneously.
