Xiao Jinglin took the initiative to go to the princess and said that she was going to play, which surprised the princess who knew her daughter's temperament well. However, the princess was very pleased with the result. As long as Xiao Jinglink is willing to play, the scene will not be too ugly.
Ren Yaoqi said with a smile, "I only found out when I accidentally saw the princess dance once before."
Xiao Jinglin said blankly, "Let's start quickly." Xiao Jinglin didn't feel nervous, she was just a little awkward. After learning martial arts for many years, I never thought that it could be used to entertain relatives.
The princess looked at Xiao Jinglin and then at Ren Yaoqi, and asked with concern, "Do you need to prepare anything?"
Ren Yaoqi thought about it and asked, "Is there a piano in the villa? I didn't bring it."
The princess smiled and said, "It's a small matter."
After saying that, the princess turned her head and instructed Madam Xin, "Go and fetch my qin." Madam Xin immediately ordered her to go down.
Ren Yaoqi was busy saying thank you.
The princess asked them a few more questions, until Qiluo came over and said that the old princess and the others had already changed their clothes and came back. It was almost time, and the princess patted their hands and turned around to go to the seat.
Madam Xin took two maids and placed a qin on the qin table in the field. Many of the ladies were well-informed, and some people recognized it on the spot as a guqin.
"Huh? It's Taikoo's legacy." Qiu Hong said.
Ren Yaoqi was also a little surprised when she walked over to see the violin brought by Xinmao. She remembered that she had borrowed Xiao Jingxi's "Great Sage's Legacy" when she was in the Yanbei Palace. The one in front of her was However, it is the "Imperial Legacy", which is as famous as the "Great Sage's Legacy".
Mother Xin smiled and said, "This is what the second son found for the princess. The princess likes it so much that she keeps it well on weekdays."
Ren Yaoqi hurriedly said, "Thank you, Princess."
Mother Xin smiled and went down with the maid.
Ren Yaoqi turned a blind eye to the many scrutiny and inquiries betting on her, she lowered her head to tune the strings, then turned her head to look at Xiao Jinglin, Xiao Jinglin nodded at her.
Ren Yaoqi turned his head and lowered his eyes slowly, but in the blink of an eye, the momentum of Ren Yaoqi changed. This kind of imposing manner is not fierce, nor aggressive, and even makes people feel like a spring breeze, but it attracts people's attention involuntarily, and even the breathing is much shallower, for fear of disturbing something.
Ren Yaoqi seemed to be unaware of the changes in her surroundings. She picked the strings and plucked the strings, and the sound of the piano flowed out from her fingers.
There was silence all around, and gradually there seemed to be the sound of wind ringing in the ears, from far to near, like weeping.
Suddenly, the cry of a geese cut through the silence and echoed for a long time. As far as the eye can see is a desolate scene.
The weeds are mournful, and the walls are broken.
The sound of the qin suddenly turned low, and it became urgent and sonorous again, the horses neighed and people roared, and the sound of the golden horse and the iron horse was faintly heard.
At this moment, a very gorgeous and beautiful skirt rose in the wind, and the girl's beautiful face was looming in a phoenix dance and wild sand, like a sunset flower that bloomed to the extreme beauty. The graceful figure, the light pace, walking along the mountain of bones, the river of blood, and the sword, light and sword, all the way.
The sound of the piano gradually softened, the clouds rose and the snow flew, and the pearls fell on the jade plate. The snow-white dagger in the girl's hand was like a treasure, it couldn't be lighter, it couldn't be softer, it didn't have murderous aura, it only made people feel elegant, even a kind of sacrificial dignified solemnity.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the dancing light figure in the field, as if she was the only one left in the world.
But at this moment, the sound of the piano changed again, the silver screen suddenly broke, the sound was like cracking silk, and the fierce sword qi made the hearts of the people present tighten.
The sword stance in the hands of the girl who danced the sword also changed. Come like a thunderbolt to receive anger, stop like a Jianghai condensing clear light.
A stack of sharp piano sounds cut through the ears, like a flash of snow sword light.
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly at this moment, and the girl who danced the sword also stopped.
There was silence in the arena. Everyone looked at Xiao Jinglin who had put away the sword and Ren Yaoqi who was getting up from the Qin desk, but they couldn't come back to their senses. Everyone was still immersed in the atmosphere just now.
Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin looked at each other and smiled. This was their first time working together, and they didn't even have time to practice, but the result was surprisingly good.
Although Xiao Jinglin didn't know much about the piano, she could understand every sound of the piano and every subtle expression in Ren Yaoqi just now. She was even more excited when she was dancing the sword, and the two cooperated perfectly.
This is the so-called heart-to-heart between confidants, right? At this moment, the two of them thought so in their hearts at the same time.
Or was the princess the first to come back to her senses and say in surprise, "This is the long-lost "Song of Sad Wind"?"
It is said that "Song of the Sad Wind" was written by an anonymous person hundreds of years ago. The song records a beautiful girl dancing on the battlefield with the blade of a knife when the enemy troops approached the city.
Her beautiful appearance and graceful dancing pose confuse the army of the enemy country. In the end, the imperial general who was intoxicated by the girl's dance was unexpectedly assassinated by the girl. Although the girl also died under the arrows of the enemy, the soldiers in the trapped city were waiting for reinforcements.
The source of this story is no longer known, and it may be fabricated by people, but this "Song of Tragedy" is very famous. It's a pity that this piece of music requires very high skills for people who play the piano, and most people can't control it at all. Even if I can barely finish the song, I can't express the charm of the song.
By the end, the song was even lost.
When the princess made her voice, the field became lively, and the ladies began to discuss in a low voice.
"Isn't "Song of Tragedy" lost? How could she play it?"
"I just thought I was standing on the battlefield and was startled..."
"I didn't expect the princess' sword dance to be so good. I don't know who taught it?"
…
Mrs. Xu stood up happily, walked over and asked Ren Yaoqi, "I remember that the "Sorrowful Wind" on the sheet music I gave you is a fragment and not complete. You make up the rest of it yourself. did it?"
Ren Yaoqi pursed his lips and smiled: "I didn't make it well, I made you laugh." The piece she played today was indeed from the piano score that Mrs. Xu gave her before. Complete, so she completed a small part of the latter part by herself.
Mrs. Xu smiled and sighed: "I knew that my book was not sent to the wrong person. No, you made it up very well, it's really good. Can you copy me a copy of the sheet music you wrote? Sort out some old remnants of music, and plan to record the well-written qin pieces for later generations."
Ren Yaoqi nodded: "I'll write to you later."
Mrs. Xu looked at Xiao Jinglin again and laughed and joked: "When I saw the sword dance of the county master, I almost thought I saw the woman in "Song of the Sad Wind" who danced all over the city. There are many more women who want to learn to dance the sword."
Xiao Jinglin was not at all embarrassed when she heard the words, she just smiled.
The princess smiled and said, "I said how could they lose the lost "Song of the Sad Wind", so it was Mr. Yao who gave Yao Qi the score."
A lady sitting with Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Mrs. Xu, when did you accept another apprentice? I remember that the princess also worshipped under your name when she was in the boudoir. I'll call you Mr. One of the most beautiful women in Yanbei has become your door."
The other ladies also smiled and agreed.
Everyone thought that Mrs. Xu gave Ren Yaoqi her collection of piano scores because Ren Yaoqi had already worshipped her.
The princess did know some of the truth, but the princess didn't point it out.
Mrs. Xu did not deny it, but smiled: "You all saw it today, how many beautiful women in Yanbei are there? It's unreasonable for you to envy me."
The eyes of the ladies looking at Ren Yaoqi became a bit complicated.
There are those who admire, there are those who envy, there are those who are envious, and there are those who naturally disdain.
On the other hand, Wu Yiyu, who was sitting on the top and watching Xiao Jinglin show the limelight, turned pale with anger, and stared at Xiao Jinglin and Ren Yaoqi with red eyes that could drip blood.
Xiao Wei gave the old princess a wink, and the old princess said, "It's getting late, let's finish the comparison earlier, which girl's turn will be next?"
The princess and several ladies also stopped talking.
Ren Yaoqi bowed his knees and bowed, then stepped back.
Xiao Jinglin smiled and winked at her, and returned to her seat.
When Ren Yaoqi returned to the sisters of the Ren family, he saw different faces.
Xiangqin came up first, squeezed out the apple, and held Ren Yaoqi's arm very eagerly, sitting her on the dog's legs and asking, "Fifth Miss, are you thirsty? Do you want to drink water? Are you hungry? Eat No snack?"
Ren Yaohua glared at Xiang Qin, and then retreated.
Ren Yaoyin smiled and nodded at Ren Yaoqi: "Playing very well, Fifth Sister's piano skills have improved again."
Ren Yaoyu pouted: "It's the first time I've heard of the 'Sad Song', it's an eye-opener."
Ren Yaoying's face was so white that it was a little transparent, which made her eyes darker. She looked at Ren Yaohua, and pulled the corner of her mouth to reveal a weak smile: "When did the fifth sister have a famous teacher, why haven't you heard of it? "
She paused for a moment, then smiled again: "It's not surprising that we don't know, the third sister must know it, right? Apprenticeship is also a big deal. With the third sister."
As soon as Ren Yaoqi heard this, she knew that Ren Yaoying hated Ren Yaohua and took away her maid for her, and wanted to provoke the conflict between her and Ren Yaohua.
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help but glance at Ren Yaohua, and just wanted to say something, but Ren Yaohua sneered: "Do I know it's none of your business? As soon as I take a break, I think about provoking right and wrong. Relying on some shady means to get out of position, in the end there is no luck. If I were you, I would go home and hide from anyone, shameful thing!"
