Chapter 238: Fighting openly and secretly
After Lin Fu woke up from the shock, he was still amazed. He even looked at Gu Beichuan's face and said with undisguised surprise in his tone: "You can actually make such a song!"
"It's rare, it's really rare."
"It's no wonder that over the years, the reputation of Jiangnan's literary world has become less and less popular than that of Huainan's."
"The reputation of Tianshang Wenqu is not in vain."
"It doesn't matter. Facing such music, just bow your head. There is no shame in it."
"I was wrong. There are people like you in the Huainan literary world. I'm afraid they will have great potential in the future."
Gu Beichuan frowned slightly when he heard this.
Because he noticed from Lin Fu's tone and state that the other party's words seemed to be sincere.
In other words, the other party seems to have never been hostile to himself or the Huainan literary world from beginning to end.
If this is the case, why should you tempt yourself to write poetry?
Strange, really strange!
However, there were people who were more puzzled than him.
This person is the instigator of today's farce, the singer Lan Rushi, one of the two great oirans.
At first, Lan Rushi wanted to use Gu Beichuan's talent to make a name for herself.
And now, when this song "Qingping Diao" is recited.
She was completely dumbfounded.
Because she discovered... that with her own skills, she might not be able to sing this piece of music.
But who is she?
Oiran who makes a living by singing!
If it comes to singing, I'm afraid that even if one person is present, 99% of the people can't even come close to it.
After all, being able to win the position of oiran with your singing voice means that you have a certain talent in this area and have been immersed in it for more than ten years.
Only in this way can you make a living with your singing skills in a place like Qiandu where little land is at a premium.
However, it is such a good skill and such a high level.
Facing Gu Beichuan's "Qing Ping Diao", he was quite intimidated and did not dare to speak.
You can see how difficult this song is!
To be honest, she was not completely sure that she could sing this song well.
It may take some time to delve into it.
However, at this moment.
A graceful figure in green clothes descended from the sky. For a moment, her clothes were flying and she was dancing gracefully.
When it landed, everyone came back to their senses and looked at it intently.
But he saw a girl with smooth skin and a pretty face.
It's just that this girl has a pair of sharp eyebrows, so that there is a heroic spirit between her eyebrows, and her temperament does not fall into the conventional style.
After seeing the person clearly, everyone exclaimed: "Dancing Girl Liu Jianfei!"
If we say who is the most popular on this flower boat, then it is undoubtedly the singer Lan Rushi and the dancer Liu Jianfei.
After all, this entire flower boat was built by the Fu family and Hua Manlou to support them.
So many people gathered here, even following the boat away from Gandu, just to see these two people.
However, on weekdays, as if out of a tacit understanding, the two of them have never appeared on stage at the same time.
Now, it was because of Gu Beichuan's song "Qing Ping Diao" that no matter what, they both appeared in front of many spectators.
As expected, the already lively atmosphere became even more lively the moment Liu Jianfei appeared, and even... boiled.
What a blessing it is that I can hear two courtesans performing on the same stage today!
There is only one person who is unhappy, and it is Lan Rushi!
Logically speaking, she sacrificed her face to ask for this song "Qing Ping Tiao", and she even almost offended Gu Beichuan for it.
The purpose is to make a name for myself and stand out in this flower boat parade.
But now, what does it mean that you, Liu Jianfei, have run out again?
Are you trying to gain my fame?
However, even if you are angry in your heart, you still have to look peaceful on the outside.
The corners of her mouth were raised slightly, forming a charming smile, and she said in a soft voice, "Sister Liu, I remember it seems that it's not yet time for you to take the stage, why did you come out early? If the stewards know, you will definitely be punished."
"Hey, what did Sister Lan say?"
"When a person like Gu Shijun from Huainan comes to visit, if my sister still keeps track of the time and doesn't come out to receive her until after the hour, she will inevitably be rude to the distinguished guest, lose her etiquette, and make things difficult for the steward."
"On the contrary, if my sister comes out at this time and plays the song "Qing Ping Diao" with her sister, it will leave a good story. Even if the steward knows about it, how can he refuse to agree?"
In the eyes of everyone, what Liu Jianfei said was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it.
However, to Lan Rushi's ears, it was completely different.
Doesn't this mean that she has a share in the poem "Qing Ping Diao" and she wants to take a share?
"Sister, I don't care what I said. This "Qing Ping Diao" was clearly written for me by Gu Shijun. It should be sung by me, so I don't need to bother my sister."
"That's the truth. It's just that when I look at the song "Qing Ping Diao", it seems to be extremely difficult. Can my sister really sing by herself?"
"Of course, no matter how difficult it is to sing "Qing Ping Diao", it is just a piece of music. I have been immersed in lyrics and music for more than ten years, so why can't I sing it?"
At this time, even if it doesn’t work, you still have to say it does.
Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that a huge opportunity would be handed over to others?
"Yes, my sister's lyrics have always been excellent. But with the lyrics alone, all the judges present will inevitably find it a bit boring. How about you help your sister dance with you?"
"Just think of it as relieving the fatigue of the officials."
Liu Jianfei's words seemed to be entirely for the sake of Lan Rushi and the judges in the audience. If Lan Rushi refused again, it would be unsightly and it would be easy for people to see clues.
As a result, Lan Rushi could only sigh and said: "The poem Mr. Gu wrote to me is extremely difficult. If my sister can dance to it live without any preparation, then let's do it."
Lan Rushi's words are equally wonderful. They not only show his generosity, but also declare the sovereignty of poetry.
However, Liu Jianfei seemed not to have heard it, and nodded and said sweetly: "Don't worry, sister, I have been dancing for more than ten years, so there is no need to prepare. I will definitely be able to play Mr. Gu's poem together with my sister."
"Huh, let's get started." Lan Rushi hummed, then opened her throat and sang out a melodious and melodious voice.
She knew very well that for courtesans like them, once they get on stage, it would be difficult to stop.
If something happened on stage and ruined the audience's enjoyment, it would be a huge mistake.
However, she sings and Liu Jianfei dances.
The whole stage rhythm still falls on her!
And to be honest, she is confident that her attainments in singing are still slightly higher than Liu Jianfei's dancing.
As long as the time comes to get on stage, she will deliberately change a few tunes to make it difficult for Liu Jianfei to change her dancing posture. It is best to dance in a nondescript manner.
