Chapter 170: Challenge (Two More)
Chapter 170 Challenge (two more)
“Sister Zhao said it well, how can the light of fireflies compete with the sun and the moon!” Yu Chaoyun covered his lips with a chuckle, and looked around the crowd meaningfully, “However, these flowers still need green leaves.”
Her last words moved the hearts of all the ladies of the noble family.
They were originally going to show their faces in front of the eldest prince today, and only by someone to set them off could they show their extraordinary piano skills.
Yu Chaoyun took the changes in everyone’s expressions into his eyes, and said with a bit of emotion: “I have just established the country for fifty-one years, just like flowers with brocade, flourishing day by day.”
“Since ancient times, the founding of a country has relied on military generals, and the governance of the country has relied on civilian officials.”
“That’s right, martial arts first and then literature. This is the case in all dynasties and dynasties.”
The emperors of the past dynasties wanted to make the country prosperous, and after all, they had to rely on civilian officials to run the country. Any emperor knew this, so the first emperor would defy all opinions and support the family again. Wenchen.
The direction of the emperor’s heart will inevitably affect the atmosphere of the whole scene. These nobles are still martial arts, but they will soon move closer to their aristocratic families, learn the six arts of gentlemen, and advocate the way of elegance.
Looking back at history, every dynasty has never deviates from this law.
Hearing what Yu Chaoyun said, Miss Zeng, Miss Zhao and other daughters from aristocratic families were very useful, and the feeling of suffocation in their hearts was swept away, each one’s eyes showed brilliance, and their waists became more straight.
Looking forward, there is a kind of detachment and pride that is superior to others.
The century-old family, even if the country and dynasties change, only their family will stand tall!
Their aristocratic family is flowers, and these so-called honorable people, their ancestors either farmed the land or herded sheep, or killed pigs and sold meat, and there were even merchants and blacksmiths.
“Sister Yu said it well.” Miss Zeng stroked her hand in high spirits.
The corners of Yu Chaoyun’s lips were slightly raised, with a dignified and gentle smile. It seemed that even the curvature of the corners of his lips had been carefully calculated and rehearsed countless times.
She continued meaningfully: “Now the eldest princess of Fengyang is still there, wait until she…”
She did not go on, the unfinished words were obvious.
No matter how brilliant the eldest Princess Fengyang has been, she is no match for the years. She is now over sixty years old, and she is old and weak, and I am afraid that it will not be a few years…
Miss Zeng curled her lips slightly, and said a little lightly: “These noble women usually dance with knives and swords, and they all talk about the eldest princess of Fengyang, saying that they take her as a model, hehe. , is simply holding chicken feathers as an arrow.”
After saying that, Miss Zeng gave Wei Jiaoniang a sideways glance, so she was about to name her.
The daughters of the aristocratic families exchanged glances again, mulling over what Yu Chaoyun just said, and felt more and more that what she said was reasonable.
Dajing governs the country with culture, and their family is the mainstay of the court. In the near future, Dajing women will only be modeled by their family daughters.
Green leaves are green leaves, so these vulgar and noble women should be exposed in front of the first prince, so that the first prince can understand that Wei Jiaoniang, Gu Yanfei and others are not very elegant, and they are not qualified to be the first prince concubine!
Miss Zeng raised her orchid fingers and stroked her sleeves, stood up calmly, and said with a smile, “Let me throw a brick and a jade today.”
There was a slight smile on the corner of her lips, full of confidence and meaningful.
“I’ll go with you too.” Miss Zhao also got up in a hurry.
In the eyes of everyone, the two walked towards the east side of the water pavilion, until they came to Wei Jiaoniang.
Wei Jiao Niang, who was sitting by the window, was drinking wine leisurely, feeding the fish, and occasionally talking to Gu Yanfei, just pretending she didn’t see it.
Miss Zeng looked around the crowd generously, and said loudly: “Miss Wei, Miss Lu, Miss Gu… It is rare for everyone to sit together today, and Miss Yu brought the famous qin ‘Chunlei’. Why don’t we fight the qin to add to the fun.”
“…” Wei Jiao Niang raised her head and drank all the wine in her glass, not bothering to care about her at all.
Mo Ming is amazing, who wants to play the piano with them!
Miss Zeng seemed to have guessed Wei Jiaoniang’s reaction long ago, and she said with a lively smile, “Just now in Shou’an Palace, I heard Miss Wei mention the eldest princess of Fengyang, and the demeanor of the eldest princess really makes me and the younger generation admire it.”
“I heard that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is not only strong in martial arts, but also has extraordinary piano skills. When she was young, she took the head of an admiral in the midst of Wanjun in Beixin City, such as exploring a bag to get things, and then a song shook the mountains and rivers, so that the enemy would not fight. and lost.”
“That song “Mountains, Rivers, Sun and Moon” moved the world with its name.”
As soon as she heard about the deeds of the eldest princess of Fengyang, Wei Jiaoniang’s eyes could not help shining, and she raised her head and praised: “His Royal Highness, the eldest princess, is brave and courageous, and she is not afraid to face millions of enemy troops. Living and dying together with the soldiers under his command, the pre-war book is absolutely inexhaustible: life and death are meaningless, and victory or defeat is nothing to fear!”
“Why do you have to be afraid of a victory or defeat!” Miss Zeng rolled her eyes and sighed, “Miss Wei admires the eldest princess of Fengyang so much, she is not afraid of victory or defeat, dare to fight with us?
Miss Zeng stared at Wei Jiaoniang without blinking. She was standing a bit higher than Wei Jiaoniang who was sitting, and her gestures showed a condescending look.
It’s almost as if Wei Jiaoniang didn’t dare to fight the piano with them, she would be afraid of defeat!
“Fight just fight.” Wei Jiao Niang slapped her palm on the table heavily, her brain flushed with blood, her chin held up in response, and two scorching flames burned in her eyes.
It’s not just the art of the piano that fights the piano, and they may not lose!
For this development, Lu Qin, who is a handkerchief, is not surprised at all.
Wei Jiaoniang has been like this since she was a child. When it comes to the eldest princess of Fengyang, she burns up. She doesn’t feel bored when she talks about having a cup of tea. Even when she was a child, she learned the piano in order to imitate the eldest princess of Fengyang.
“A word is settled.” Miss Zeng’s eyes were bright, and she said politely: “Then ask Miss Wei to ask the question.”
Douqin has rules for fighting the qin, anyone can challenge, but the challenger has the right to issue the question.
This is a rule and a kind of fairness.
Girl Zeng got her wish, so she went back to the same way with Miss Zhao, and walked towards Yuchaoyun and the others.
The surroundings were quiet, only the carp outside the window could be heard jumping from the water from time to time.
Lu Qin threw a handful of fish food out the window and whispered to Gu Yanfei who was sitting next to him: “Yan Fei, can you play the piano?”
Play the piano. Gu Yanfei held a sweet and sour candied fruit in his mouth and held his cheeks in one hand, and his mind drifted away accidentally, to the Yaoling Realm.
In her ears, there seemed to be a familiar sound of the piano, fresh and soothing, as ethereal as the valley breeze, as crystal clear as the morning dew, and like a trickling clear spring flowing slowly, lingering in her ears. Side, seems to be far away.
Her master is good at the piano, no, it should be said that the master is omnipotent, and there is nothing that the master is not good at.
She has been under the master’s school for two hundred years, and she often has a feeling that she only glimpses the tip of the iceberg.
Gu Yanfei’s heart lake swayed with layers of ripples along with the distant music, the blue waves rolled, and a slightly sour feeling appeared in his heart.
She misses Master.
Counting the days, Master should also come out of retreat.
Gu Yanfei was only stunned for a moment, but when Wei Jiao Niang saw that she didn’t answer, she thought she wouldn’t, so she quickly winked at Lu Qin desperately and told her not to ask.
Lu Qin was troubled, rubbed his temples and muttered, “Jiao Niang, you also know my qin…”
Her mother forced her to learn her piano back then. Later, her grandmother felt distressed that her hands were blistered by the strings of the piano, and she said that the girls from his Lu family should follow the example of the eldest princess of Fengyang, and only need to know how to ride and shoot. Swords are enough, as for the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, if you don’t want to learn it, don’t learn it.
But, fortunately…
“Jiao Niang, you can!” Lu Qin narrowed her eyes with a smile, looked at Wei Jiao Niang with a smirk, raised her hand and patted her shoulder, with the words in her eyes: “Everything is up to you”.
“…” Wei Jiao Niang pursed her cherry lips and coughed twice.
Anyone can see that she is not so confident about the outcome this time.
She has always been confident and never felt that she was inferior to others. However, this foot is shorter and an inch longer. When it comes to painting, calligraphy, chess, and painting, she still knows how much she has.
Wei Jiao Niang poured herself another glass of wine, while thinking about the way to fight the enemy, she drank the wine and muttered: “If you can’t match the enemy, then outsmart it!”
“You have to use your brains on the question.”
“So…” Lu Qin gave a light high-five, “We should take advantage of our strengths and the opponent’s weaknesses!”
The other girls were also thoughtful, and their eyes lit up little by little.
A few gusts of cold wind from outside the window ruffled their bangs and temples, but the girls didn’t feel the chill at all. They looked at each other and vaguely felt that they had caught something.
“Jiao Niang!” Several people excitedly tugged Wei Jiao Niang’s sleeve, leaned over and whispered to her.
They easily took Gu Yanfei over, the girls hugged each other intimately, the breath and scent on their bodies mixed together, and they giggled non-stop.
The chatter and laughter one after another attracted the side glances of Yu Chaoyun and others not far away.
Gu Yanfei smiled lightly, and summoned Eunuch He at random, and ordered, “Writing and ink will serve you.”
Eunuch He immediately prepared the four treasures of the study, and Wei Jiao Niang wrote the topics they negotiated on a piece of silk paper by hand.
After a while, the piece of paper was sent to Yu Chaoyun and the others.
Only two words were written on the silk paper:
War.
A palace servant lit a stick of incense in the open space in the center of the water pavilion, and Yu Chaoyun and the others had time to prepare the song for the piano fight.
Lu Qin didn’t know anything about the music, so she said casually: “You said, who will play first on their side? Miss Zeng? Miss Zhao, or…”
Gu Yanfei smiled lightly: “Yu Chaoyun.”
Yu Chaoyun specially brought a famous qin today, he must have a plan.
The incense stick in the center of the water pavilion was burning, and when it was half-burned, the ladies from the aristocratic family opposite finally moved, and Yu Chaoyun sat behind the qin desk.
A lingering sound of the violin broke the silence of the air.
The sound of the violin gushed out from under Yu Chaoyun’s fingers, and the ten fingers danced skillfully.
She turned her face slightly, stroking the piano with all her attention, pouring all her skills and all her emotions into this song.
She knew the eldest prince Xiqin, and knew that the eldest prince would definitely come.
She knew even more that although the Queen Mother called so many people into the palace today, she was the one who was most interested in her.
Because her surname is Yu.
