Although some of the guests present did not understand ancient Chinese poetry, they also experienced her sad mood from Zhu Xiaomeng's piano sound and poetry, and an indescribable sadness quietly permeated the entertainment room.

Zhu Mingjie stepped forward and patted Zhu Xiaomeng's shoulder gently, Zhu Xiaomeng came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and resumed his elegant smile, "Let everyone laugh." ”

Just when a smile appeared on Zhu Xiaomeng's face, the sad atmosphere in the air was also swept away, and Jessica took the lead in applauding, "Miss Zhu, you played so well, may I ask what is the name of the song you played just now?"

Zhu Xiaomeng smiled reservedly, and said, "This piece is called "Yangguan Three Stacks", which is composed according to a poem by the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei, and it is the one I just recited, because the whole song is divided into three sections, so it is called 'Three Stacks'." ”

Jessica smiled embarrassedly and said, "I only know the Chinese guzheng song "Alpine Flowing Water". ”

Zhu Mingjie said disdainfully, "Although the mountains and rivers are known as the world's top ten famous songs, they are not necessarily the most outstanding, the Chinese culture is broad and profound, and there are countless classic ancient songs that have been handed down, not to mention those that have been lost for a long time." ”

Jessica nodded slowly, this is the truth, many times, the most widely circulated is not necessarily the most classic.

Just like the two "Little Apples" and "the most dazzling national style" in Chinatown, there are people playing them every day in Chinatown, and many aunts dance their so-called square dances with no sense of beauty, but can you say that these two songs are the most classic songs in China?

"Then can I have the honor to invite you brothers and sisters to play a piece for all of us? I have always wanted to appreciate the beauty of Chinese classical music, but unfortunately I have never had this opportunity, I wonder if Mr. Zhu and Miss Zhu can fulfill my little wish?"

Zhu Mingjie looked around, and at this time, there was no longer the disdain and anger in everyone's eyes, but there was still some unconvincing.

The corners of his mouth lifted lightly, evoked an evil smile, took off his coat casually, sat in front of the guqin, and said lightly, "You only know the song "Mountains and Flowing Water", but you don't know that there are more excellent songs in Huaxia. ”

"It's just that it's more representative, and compared to other pieces, it's widely circulated because of its relatively simple performance. ”

Zhu Mingjie said as he gently tried the strings with his right hand, which was different from the melodious sound of the guzheng Qingyue, the sound of the guqin was low and simple.

If you use people to describe it, Guzheng is like a beautiful and elegant woman, and Guqin is like a mature and stable man.

The brother and sister looked at each other and smiled, and the sound of the piano, high and low, slowly flowed from their strings.

"Zheng...... Zheng Zheng Zheng ...... Zheng Zheng ......"

At first, they played easily and slowly, quiet and deep, faint and sparse, and slowly, the sound of the piano became heavy and depressing, revealing a sense of grief and anger.

"Zheng Zheng Zheng Zheng ......"

The next moment, the rhythm suddenly accelerated, the intensity increased, and I saw Zhu Mingjie's fingers strong and powerful, jumping and flying on the strings flexibly.

The sound of the piano suddenly became passionate and generous, majestic and powerful, and the sonorous sound of the piano was like the vast ocean rolling up the stormy waves, storms and rains, and it was like a golden iron horse, conquering on the battlefield, invincible.

Zhu Xiaomeng's zither occasionally coincided, and a sense of unyielding intent spread out from the song, making everyone feel that even in the face of monstrous waves, the two brothers and sisters in front of them would not give in, no matter how difficult they were, they would also rise to the occasion.

When everyone woke up from the sound of the piano, the Zhu brothers and sisters had already left, leaving only the room full of shocked "foreign devils".

"Oh, God, I seem to hear music from heaven. ”

"No, no, no, it's the music of the devil, and it will lure us into hell. ”

"There is such excellent music in the world? Huaxia, it's amazing. ”

"Now I can show off to my friends, the Chinese culture I know is not only Chinese food and Chinese kung fu, but also Chinese music, oh my God, great, what kind of song is this?"

A waiter interjected lightly on the side, "Miss Zhu said something to Mr. Zhu when she left, as if it was, 'Brother, your song Guangling is getting better and better', they speak Chinese, and I don't understand it, but I just wrote down these pronunciations." ”

Jessica's eyes widened and she muttered in disbelief, "Guanglingsan." ”

He turned his gaze to look at the position where the brother and sister were playing the piano just now, and suddenly looked stunned, he noticed that something seemed to have fallen on the ground.

He walked over and saw that it was a handkerchief, which should have been left by Zhu Mingjie when he took off his coat just now, because Zhu Xiaomeng's long skirt had no place to put things.

He bent down to pick it up, unfolded it and looked at it, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he saw that on the handkerchief was a very beautifully embroidered yellow dragon, this oriental dragon opened its teeth and claws in the clouds, as if it was about to jump out of the air.

The dragon seems to have been embroidered by hand, but that's not the point, the point is, the dragon has five claws.

Jessica didn't bother to greet the guests, and after saying goodbye for a while, Jessica hurried towards her study.

He pulled out a notebook from the shelf that looked old, quickly rummaged through it, and soon he found what he was looking for.

It is a record written by the ancestors of the Fisher family in the capital of China when they participated in the Eight-Nation Alliance more than 100 years ago.

"Dragons are regarded as sacred relics in China, and although dragons can also be used in common people's homes or clothing, all dragons have a maximum of four claws. ”

"Only the royal family can use the dragon pattern with five claws, and if a commoner commits a taboo, he will be beheaded at the least, and the nine clans will be punished at the worst, that is, the entire family will be killed. ”

Seeing this record, most of the doubts in Jessica's heart were eliminated, and sure enough, her previous guess was correct, and only this identity could be worthy of the noble temperament and extensive knowledge of the Zhu family brothers and sisters.

Only people born in the royal family will have that kind of wealth and aesthetics, and only those who grow up in this environment will get the most formal traditional education and learn so much traditional oriental culture.

Ordinary wealthy families usually let their children learn piano or violin, and only a very small part of them learn guqin and zither, and it is absolutely rare to be able to play the guqin and zither to this level.

Although Jessica doesn't understand why there is a royal family like the Zhu family brothers and sisters under the current national conditions in China, and she doesn't know why they came to the UK, it doesn't matter, I believe that I will have time to understand it slowly.

"The royal family, oh my God, I actually met the royal family of Huaxia, Ou, God, and I became friends with them, I am so lucky. ”

Jessica excitedly paced a few steps in the study, and suddenly sat down again, because he suddenly remembered the thoughts that had crossed his mind in the morning in the maple forest.

But now he suddenly found that that idea was not realistic at all, a woman like Zhu Xiaomeng was absolutely impossible, and should not belong to herself, she should have a happier life.

We...... It's good enough to be friends.

Yes, friend.
