Chapter 92: A Song "Mountains and Flowing Water"
In fact, just when everyone was surprised, Ye Qingge could no longer contain the ecstasy in her heart.
Because this guzheng obviously has modern elements, especially the strings, which are made of German high-carbon hexagonal steel core and made of the latest materials. If they are well maintained, they can still be used for decades even if they are used continuously.
If it is used sparingly, it will be stored indefinitely. It is already in her space. These twenty-five strings are the standard number of strings in the previous life. Very few people in Yunlan Kingdom use a guzheng with twenty-five strings.
Looking at this guzheng, Ye Qingge felt as if she had met an old friend. The fact that this guzheng was here meant that a senior had traveled through time before her. When she thought of this, Ye Qingge had mixed feelings.
I gently brushed the guzheng with my fingers, tried the sound twice, made fine adjustments, and fiddled with it a few times from time to time, and it produced a very pleasant sound.
"Look, this Ye Qingge can actually use 'Yijun'!" Several low exclamations came from the crowd.
Then someone else said: "That's right, this is 'Yijun'. According to legend, it has existed on this continent for nearly a hundred years. There have been countless people who loved the zheng who fought for it, but they all gave up because they couldn't master it. Does Ye Qingge have something?"
What kind of talent can produce such an excellent tone?"
...
While everyone was discussing quietly, Ye Qingge had already adjusted the tone.
Ji Yao was a distinguished guest today. She sat in the front and couldn't help but admire Ye Qingge's movements while playing the piano.
Ye Qingyao and Mr. Shen had already seen Ye Qingge playing the piano, and they didn't find anything strange this time. However, Ye Qingyao always felt uneasy, as if Ye Qingge would be in the limelight.
Mrs. Gu sat with several ladies from aristocratic families, and Gu Wanxi also sat next to her. Because Gu Wanxi was not only beautiful but also good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, after Ye Qingge went up, several ladies from aristocratic families also sat next to her.
Zeng said with a bit of regret that if Gu Wanxi had gone up, she would have stunned the whole audience.
Mrs. Gu smiled and said nothing while listening to everyone's praises for her daughter, and just sipped the tea gently. As for Ye Qingge playing the piano, she showed little interest. On the other hand, Gu Wanxi watched Ye Qingge tuning the piano seriously.
Soon, Ye Qingge smiled knowingly, nodded to everyone, and started playing.
This time, she chose the famous guzheng song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters".
Ye Qingge plays the Zhejiang Zheng School's "Mountains and Flowing Waters", with beautiful and melodious tunes.
At the beginning, the right hand spans three octaves to express the majesty of the mountain and the clarity of the water at the same time. In the middle of the song, the right hand is as smooth as water, and the left hand's cooperation in the bass position is like a mountain. In the second half, the flower fingers are used to continuously play the sound of flowing water hitting the mountain.
It's turbulent. It ends with overtones, as soft and crisp as drops of water.
At the banquet, with Ye Qingge's knowing performance, even Emperor Tianjing couldn't help but smile. Chu Linglong secretly glanced at Queen Chu, only to see Queen Chu's face was expressionless, her face was ashen, and she was looking at Ye with clenched hands.
Light song.
As Ye Qingge slowly stopped his hands, the song "High Mountains and Flowing Waters" was completed.
"Well, you really can play the piano well." Emperor Tianjing immediately praised him.
"I didn't expect that Miss Ye, who had just come to Beijing not long ago, would be so capable."
Listening to Emperor Tianjing's praise, Queen Chu immediately agreed.
"Well, this is a good opening, so I should reward you!" Emperor Tianjing said, and then he called his personal Eunuch Zhuo and gave Ye Qingge a set of jewelry.
Queen Chu on the side watched Eunuch Zhuo go down with the reward, clasping her hands so tightly that her nails almost dug into her palms, but she still held back her expression and said: "Since Miss Ye has such a talent, then this guzheng will be played as before." I gave it to Miss Ye as a gift."
"Qingge thanks the emperor and the empress!" After receiving the rewards from the two of them, Ye Qingge immediately leaned over to salute and thank them.
In the crowd, Ji Yao looked at Ye Qingge and smiled with praise. Mrs. Gu slowly poured the tea she had been holding for a long time into her mouth. The ladies from the aristocratic families who had been praising Gu Wanxi just now began to praise her. After listening to Ye Qingge, Mrs. Gu also echoed a few words.
When Gu Wanxi saw that her mother looked bad, she went up and peeled an orange for Mrs. Gu. Looking at her daughter's face that looked like a fairy, and then comparing it to Ye Qingge's face, Mrs. Gu straightened her back and smiled. Then he took the orange handed over by Gu Wanxi.
At this time, Ye Qingyao couldn't sit still anymore, and when she was about to stand up, Shen Mengrou grabbed her.
Next, Queen Chu arranged several more songs and dances, and everyone enjoyed them while having tea. Emperor Tianjing left first because he had something to do.
After watching the singing and dancing for a while, Queen Chu invited everyone to go to the back garden to enjoy the flowers. Just when Ye Qingge got up, a little maid passed behind Ye Qingge carrying soup, and she accidentally knocked it over. took the soup basin in his hand.
Ye Qingge reacted very quickly and quickly hid aside. The soup was not splashed on her body, but some soup was still splashed on her skirt.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! It's my fault, please forgive me!" When the little maid carrying the soup basin saw the soup spilled on Ye Qingge's skirt, she knelt down in panic and kowtowed to the ground, crying. Begging for mercy.
"Miss Ye, what's wrong?" Queen Chu was just about to lead everyone to the back garden when she heard the maid's cry and hurriedly turned back and asked.
Seeing Queen Chu bringing someone over, Ye Qingge nodded and said, "It's okay. It's just that the maid accidentally knocked over the soup basin, but it's okay. She just splashed some soup on her skirt."
"Queen, it's all my fault. It's my maid who didn't hold the soup basin steady, so the soup splashed onto Miss Ye's skirt. It's my fault!" The little maid who was kneeling on the ground cried and crawled over. Admit your mistake vigorously.
Empress Chu ignored the maid, but stepped forward and said: "Miss Ye, I'm afraid these clothes need to be changed, so let her take you down to change!"
After saying that, Queen Chu glared at the little maid and said, "Why are you crying? Why don't you take Miss Ye down to change clothes quickly?"
When the kneeling maid heard this, she quickly stood up and wiped her tears and said: "Miss Ye, come with me, I will take you to change clothes." After saying that, she wiped her tears and took Ye Qingge down. .
