It was getting late, Qin Mubai was preparing to take Yao'er to leave Qinxian Pavilion and go home. When Qin Mubai stood up, he naturally held Yao'er's hand, but she trembled in shock and her face turned red to the root of her neck. Her cold little hand instinctively shrank, but she didn't pull it back. Instead, she used her fingers a few times. Fen Anli tightly grasped Qin Mubai's thick and warm palm.
I am afraid that if I let go, I will lose it forever.
Qin Mubai smiled and led her to the door. As soon as the door was opened, thunderous applause suddenly broke out in the hall. All the drinkers, dancers, musicians, and waiters stood up and looked at the two of them, cheering and applauding for a long time.
At the corner of the corridor, two well-dressed women trotted over with their skirts in hand. Each looked overjoyed and surprised. They ran to Qin Mubai, bowed their heads and prostrated: "Meet my mentor!"
They are the other two of the three fairies in Qinxian Pavilion, Teng'er and Qinghe.
"No need to be so polite, get up." Qin Mubai said calmly.
"Thank you, Master!" The Second Fairy stood up in a hurry, looking at Qin Mubai with hot eyes and a hint of fear, but hesitated to speak.
It's already boiling downstairs!
The three fairies of Qinxian Pavilion only appeared in public once a month. At that time, they were not allowed to be seen by non-top-notch figures. Today, they appeared together without any warning. The drinkers and star-chasers were overjoyed and crowded forward to have a look. Not caring about propriety and reserve, he knocked down tables and chairs, and the scene suddenly got out of control.
The shopkeeper Wu Yuanqing suddenly panicked and hurriedly brought some nurses and waiters to maintain order.
"It seems that your popularity is really high." Qin Mubai glanced downstairs and smiled, "Wu Meiniang is really a genius in business, she knows how to package and hype."
The three girls were a little confused and didn't quite understand what Qin Mubai meant, but their joy was beyond words. After hesitating for a while, Qing He plucked up the courage and said: "Teacher, you are busy away from home all year round, and you rarely come back to Qinxian Pavilion once a year. You happened to be here today, how about asking your teacher to give us some guidance on our folk art?"
Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile, shook his head and said: "You are better than the old, you don't need my guidance anymore."
Qin Mubai was telling the truth. Music is just a dispensable hobby for him, and it is difficult to tinker with it in ten and a half days. But the three fairies are different. They make a living from this and almost regard music as the other half of their lives. Music has also brought them wealth, status and honor that ordinary people cannot reach.
Those who know are not as good as those who are good at it, and those who are good at it are not as good as those who are happy. Their musical attainments have obviously surpassed Qin Mubai's.
But often the more truthful it is, the less people believe it. This is the case with the three fairies in front of them.
Qinghe and Teng'er rushed to say: "Teacher, please don't break the disciples! Every bit of the teacher's skills are also unique skills that the disciples will never learn in their lifetime! We are willing to ask the teacher to leave one and a half moves, that's fine. Allow me to learn and practice in the future!”
Yao'er also smiled and said: "Third brother, look downstairs... We are all here today. If we don't make some gestures, the drinkers will not give up. Third brother, why don't you give us some guidance to play some tunes?" Let’s deal with it and go home early.”
Qin Mubai rolled his eyes, "That's fine!"
"Thank you, Master!" Teng'er and Qinghe were so happy that they almost jumped up.
When you are young, why should you be frivolous? How many opportunities can you have in your life to be frivolous and unruly
Thinking of this, Qin Mubai smiled and said: "Just now Yao'er played a song and attracted everyone on the West Market Street. Now there are many people outside Qinxian Pavilion. Let's do this. You can just stay outside the pavilion. Let’s set up a stage at the statue, and I’ll take the three of you to perform on the same stage!”
"Ah - really?" The three women were extremely shocked!
"Of course it's true." Qin Mubai smiled, "It's indeed a rare time for me to come here. Tonight, I will take you to have a good time together!"
"Very good!"
"I'll go tell the shopkeeper right away and let him make arrangements!"
The two girls ran away excitedly. As soon as we got halfway downstairs, there was a lot of noise, crowding, and excitement downstairs. Teng'er and Qinghe were used to seeing such formations, so they were neither surprised nor rushed. After standing still, they said loudly: "Today, the mentor of our three fairies, Qin Mubai, Master Qin, came here. The mentor said that they would be outside the Qinxian Pavilion. We set up a stage near the fairy statue and took the three of us to perform together, sharing the golden night without taking any money."
The drinkers were stunned. They burst into excited cheers and rushed out the door. The passers-by outside the Qinxian Pavilion saw the dignitaries rushing out in a hurry regardless of their appearance and vying for favorable terrain around the statue. They were confused and curious, and they also gathered around.
Soon, the fairy statue was surrounded three floors inside and three floors outside. Even the nine patrols responsible for martial law and public security in Chang'an were also attracted, shouting loudly and evacuating the crowd. Among the onlookers were many high-ranking officials and military generals. Instead, the patrolmen of the Nine Gates were scolded and scolded, and they did not dare to make any mistakes. So, they simply stayed and acted as spectators, and incidentally became "voluntary security guards".
Wu Yuanqing was trembling with excitement. Qin Mubai brought three fairies to perform on the same stage. This may be the grandest feat in the history of Qinxian Pavilion. Inspired by the genius businessman Wu Meiniang, his brain is no longer stupid. This is a God-given "hype" opportunity!
So he turned on his full power, called all the people in Qinxian Pavilion who could move, and nervously and quickly set up a temporary stage. All the eight-music instruments of "gold, stone, earth, leather, silk, wood, and bamboo" were fully prepared. The best dancers and top musicians are all ready.
Qin Mubai led the three fairies to watch quietly at the window sill of Sanxian Pavilion, and was really shocked by the grand scene in front of him.
Chang'an has all the prosperity and romance in the world, and people with abundant material resources have far greater pursuit of the spiritual world than ordinary people. The scene in front of me is really a bit like the scene when the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, held a concert!
The crowd is excited and passionate!
On the West Market Street, which is more than 100 meters wide, the already dense crowd rushed towards Qinxian Pavilion. The dazzling fairy statue, covered with jade and jade, stands out like a flock of chickens and dazzles the audience, becoming the focus and core of the stage.
In the past, the folk art of the Three Fairies, which could only be enjoyed by the top gentry in Chang'an, was now publicly available to the common people. It was hard to imagine whether the scene would be lively.
Yao'er and the other three were still a little frightened. Such a crazy crowd, if they show up later, I'm really afraid that the situation will get out of control...
Qin Mubai obviously saw through their worries and said with a smile: "Don't worry. Look, there are still nine city patrols here to maintain law and order! The number of people is getting bigger and bigger, and there are nearly a thousand people. It's no problem."
The three girls felt relieved now, but the excitement in their hearts could not be calmed down.
At this time Wu Yuanqing went upstairs in person to say that the stage was ready.
"Let's go!" Qin Mubai smiled, took Yao'er's hand and walked out first. Teng'er and Qinghe's eyes immediately spotted them holding hands. They were shocked and jealous, and followed them downstairs in silence.
"Teacher, what instruments and music are you playing?"
Qin Mubai smiled mysteriously and said: "Qinxian Pavilion is mainly about pipa, and of course it is mainly about pipa music. Let's do this, the three of you will each play a song. Teng'er and Qinghe will play "The Overlord Disarms" together. Yao'er will play your new song "Lanzhou Hong" again later. Finally, I have another secret song to present."
"Secret track?"
"No need to ask any more questions, just go ahead!"
Wu Yuanqing waited at the door while rubbing his hands, his palms a little sweaty. Although he had been running Qinxian Pavilion for a long time and had seen a lot of the world, this was the first time he saw such a big battle. He couldn't help but feel a little nervous and asked: "Are you ready?"
"Okay! Listen to my mentor, the two of us will go on stage first and perform "Overlord Disarms" together!" Teng'er and Qinghe picked up the pipa and stepped forward together. Yao'er also followed.
Wu Yuanqing opened the door in an exaggerated manner and said loudly: "I want to invite the three fairies!"
As soon as the three women appeared, the crowd roared with applause, which frightened them all. Qin Mubai held his elbows and watched with interest as they walked out of the Qinxian Pavilion and stepped onto the big stage. Each held a pipa and stood gracefully. Their clothes were fluttering and elegant, like fairies from heaven descending to the world.
The scene in front of him made Qin Mubai naturally think of Dunhuang murals. Could it be that the beauty in the painting was born from a stunning dancer like the Three Fairies
Gorgeous, elegant, and beautiful, it evokes lovesickness and idle thoughts that have traveled through thousands of years. Who doesn’t want to witness this magnificent and dazzling dynasty
The crowd was crazy and surging!
A chime rang, and the three fairies began to play the overture. The huge crowd instantly fell silent and waited eagerly. Yao'er sat aside with her lute in her arms, and Teng'er and Qinghe began to play "The Overlord Disarms" in unison.
This song can be regarded as the song that made Qin Mubai prosperous and famous. It is also the title song of Qinxian Pavilion. When the song ended, the crowd burst into thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.
Qin Mubai sat in the room and watched quietly, with a smile on his face. At this time, Wu Yuanqing came over with several servants from Qin Mubai's house and said that everything had been fetched and prepared. Qin Mubai nodded and smiled, told them how to arrange it, and then continued to enjoy the "concert".
Next, Yao'er played "Lanzhou Hong" alone.
This is a new piece of music. Apart from herself, Qin Mubai has only played it today. Everyone knows that Fairy Yao'er of Qinxian Pavilion is a blind girl. At this moment, she doesn't have many gorgeous movements. She just sits quietly on the futon, holding a pipa, her hands are trembling and nervous.
At this time, Qin Mubai walked out and walked straight onto the stage to Yao'er's side in front of a crowd of astonished eyes. Although Yao'er couldn't see it, she heard Qin Mubai's footsteps amidst the noise from all directions and felt the familiar body odor on his body.
"Don't be nervous, I'll play with you." Qin Mubai brought a pipa and stood beside her.
"Is that Qin Mubai?"
"probably!"
"Legend has it that he is the teacher of the Three Fairies! His Majesty the Emperor personally conferred the title of the great master of pipa music in the world!"
"Hey, isn't he a general leading troops? Is he going to be a prince-in-law soon?"
…
The crowd was buzzing. Obviously, Qin Mubai, who had not been in Chang'an for a long time, was not as familiar to these people as the three fairies.
Yao'er asked worriedly: "Third brother, you only listened to it once, do you remember the next song?"
"Maybe." Qin Mubai smiled, "This is a heart song. You will play the lead. I will only accompany you to your beat. Don't worry, there will be no problem."
"Okay..." Yao'er bit her lip and nodded.
The chimes rang, the overture began, and the crowd fell silent.
The song "Lanzhou Hong" started playing.
Yao'er has always been a person who plays with heart. Her qualifications are far inferior to those of Qin Mubai, Chaoting Taileling, Teng'er, and Qinghe. But the good lesson that hard work can make up for failure happened to be true for her. If others can master it after practicing it once, she will practice it ten or a hundred times. Her songs have the most sincere feelings and the deepest emotion. When the first note sounded, many people couldn't help but feel as if their heartstrings were being pulled.
resonance.
The impassioned prologue made the blood of the soldiers closest to him boil; in the middle chapter, which was a combination of strength and softness, Qin Mubai took up the pipa and played with it. With his eyes closed, scenes from the war seemed to appear in his mind. The accompanying ensemble only plucked the strings occasionally, but they were perfectly synchronized with Yao'er's string sounds, adding to each other's beauty.
The crowd became silent, leaving only the melodious pipa music flying in the night sky, and the heartstrings of millions of people were plucked together.
At the end of the chapter, Yao'er was still the only one left playing solo. The sadness and longing from the heart merged into a string of notes and flowed out from her fingertips, making many people present shed tears.
When the song ended, the audience was actually silent.
Qin Mubai slowly put down his pipa and was the first to applaud.
"Pah, pah, pah..."
After three shots, the crowd seemed to wake up, and their wild cheers and applause shook the night sky.
Yao'er bit her lip and trembled slightly, her gray eyes turned red, and she lowered her head, not daring to let Qin Mubai see her.
At this time, a dozen men came onto the stage carrying a huge object. The crowd's attention was once again attracted, and they began to speculate, what is this
Yao'er said in surprise: "Third brother, have you brought the piano?"
"Not bad." Qin Mubai smiled, "You have been practicing for so long. How good is it? Today is a good time to test it."
"Ah, no!" Yao'er waved her hands hurriedly, "I, I didn't practice well! This instrument is more than a hundred times more difficult than the pipa!"
"Don't worry, I'm here." Qin Mubai smiled and pulled her up, took her hand and sat in front of the piano, and put her hand on the keyboard.
"No, third brother... it really can't be done!" Yao'er was still very hesitant.
"Be confident, you are the best!" Qin Mubai whispered in her ear, "Let me play with you first... the title of the song is "Destiny"!"
"Okay, okay..." Yao'er was trembling with excitement. Because Qin Mubai held her in his arms like he was teaching her to play the pipa for the first time, feeling his strong and warm chest. Qin Mubai's ten fingers almost overlapped with hers, and she felt the power of his fingertips.
There were more curious and suspicious sounds from the crowd, and Teng'er and Qinghe also gathered around curiously, looking at the piano they saw for the first time in amazement.
"Yao'er, please remember... music requires emotion, but also confidence and passion!" Qin Mubai used some secret power with his hands and said to the musician next to him, "Let's start."
The chime overture rang and the crowd fell silent.
"Dong dong dong dong -"
A string of sonorous piano notes sounded like an earth-shattering sound!
Teng'er and Qinghe, who were the closest, trembled and turned to stone on the spot - what kind of musical instrument is this? The notes it plays can actually penetrate the soul!
The crowd of onlookers almost trembled in unison, shocking the scene!
Qin Mubai's fingers were flying, holding Yao'er's fingers and flying on the keyboard quickly and skillfully.
The passionate and high-pitched notes of "Destiny" rang in the night sky of Chang'an!
At first, the notes were actually not coherent, but people in the Tang Dynasty had never heard such a unique sound quality before, and they were attracted and shocked for a while. Halfway through the performance, Qin Mubai felt that Yao'er's body was trembling and heating up, and her hands were also filled with passion and confidence. The notes of the melody no longer seemed to come from her fingertips, but came directly from her heart.
He slowly let go.
Yao'er was completely immersed in the performance, and her delicate body twisted and danced to the beat of the music, crazy and crazy!
The smooth "Ming Dynasty" seemed to have gained life from her fingertips, shocking the souls of millions of people present and breaking the tranquility of Chang'an Night.
Qin Mubai crossed his hands in front of his chest, with an unprecedentedly gentle smile on his face, looking at Yao'er who was playing with abandon.
"Play it again from beginning to end."
Yao'er didn't seem to hear Qin Mubai's words and didn't make any expression. He was completely immersed in the passionate music. His fingers were flying like flies, his body was trembling rhythmically, and even his hair was a little scattered, adding to the passion, and even a little. A little arrogant!
This is definitely not the usual inconspicuous and humble demon.
Just like a foxtail grass on the roadside, it suddenly blooms with the brilliance of other flowers! The dazzling dazzle makes the wilderness eclipse!
This is the original color of life. Stubborn, strong, and humble dogtail grass also has the courage to not succumb to fate!
This is... "Destiny"!
…
The crowd of onlookers was getting larger and larger. Those who were closer, including those soldiers who were seizing advantageous terrain in the name of maintaining order, most likely opened their eyes in shock, opened their mouths, and their hearts followed. The beat of the music jumps shockingly!
This is the most shocking movement in the history of Chang'an, the ancient capital of thousands of years!
When the song ended, the crowd went crazy...
It was late at night, and in this huge city with a population of one million, thousands of lights were on, and the ancient city seemed to be waking up at this moment.
The silent and quiet night was completely detonated at this moment...
Qin Mubai still stood in front of the piano with his hands on his elbows. Even though he knew that Yao'er couldn't see him, he still raised his eyebrows and raised the corners of his mouth out of habit, looking at her with a smile.
Yao'er's hair was a little messy, and she was panting heavily with sweat. She placed her hands on the chain plate, trembling as if she was exhausted.
"Amazing, Yao'er." Qin Mubai's voice rang in her ears, "You are the most outstanding musician in the history of China, bar none."
