Chapter 106: Bending the beam (Part 2)

Just now, they separated from Yuan Jin'er and returned to the second floor, the Su family was still discussing how to let Lu Xia come to their side. Even though they knew that there must be bargaining chips on the Xue family, Su Wengui and others were actually a little confident, mainly because Yan Cuilou and others often came. In the meantime, Su Wending was close to the big house, Su Wengui and Su Wenxing belonged to the second house, and Su Wenluo Su Wenji was the third house, so naturally they would not go together, but at this time they chose to join forces and combine the relationship that could be tied together.

As a result, it looked very beautiful. Some knew the more powerful managers in this building, some were very familiar with Chen's mother, and some had personally praised Lu Xia for several times. They naturally looked very confident. When they were integrated, they felt that they were sure to win. At this time, the people from the Su family had been making continuous efforts and also took out a lot of money. With Li Pin's poems, they were very confident.

If it weren't for Lu Xia and Xue Yan's relationship, as long as you give enough face and write a stunning poem or two lyrics, you might not have a chance to win tonight. But at this time, it is no longer a problem of fighting. Of course, what Yuan Jiner said about hiding outside and waiting for the singing and dancing before going in before going in. Ning Yi went up and smiled and told Li Pin about this, and Li Pin also laughed.

"Haha, no wonder I looked confident. I had long doubted it. So that's it." In the smile, the attitude was open-minded. I joked with Ning Yi, wrote the second poem with paper and pen, and still gave it to the woman next to me to take it down. The poem was neither satirical nor complaint, but it was still a poem that was supported by Lu Xia. Then, Lu Xia's second performance began below. After the performance, the Xue family paid 200 taels of silver, while the Su family had 300 taels of silver. The supporting poems were waiting for Lu Xia's choice.

When the final result appeared, the hall was as usual in an uproar, and the Su family members were also a little indignant. Soon after, Xue Yan, Xue Jin, Liu Qingdi and others brought Lu Xia to say hello. With Lu Xia's standpoint, they had written about the love of the Su family there. Xue Yan and others smiled happily and were talking at this time.

"Haha, I believe Miss Lu is extremely embarrassed about today. Choosing one side will inevitably make the other side unhappy. Wen Xing and Wen Ji, we have been friends for many years, so I will apologize first. If you are angry, you will be angry. Axia is in a difficult situation after all, don't take this matter to heart..."

Xue Yan's words blocked the arrogance of the Su family for Lu Xia. In fact, it was nothing more than disgusting the attitude of "I'm not angry". Everyone seemed to have a happy joke. Wen Xing and Wen Ji and others could only show an open-minded expression here, and their eyes were paying attention to the situation in the entire hall. At this time, most people's eyes had actually looked here.

While Lu Xia's apology and Xue Yan and others were talking, Li Pin also raised his glass and smiled and said, "We have known the love between Brother Xue and Miss Lu for a long time. Today's events are the beauty of adulthood. I feel very relieved. I don't know when Brother Xue will marry Miss Lu to join the family. We have achieved a good marriage story. This is a meaningful thing..."

"Brother Li... Why do you say this..." When Li Pin said this, Su Wenxing and others were a little confused. On the surface, they naturally showed a clear smile, but Xue Yan and Lu Xia changed their faces slightly. They knew the inside story. If Li Pin really knew the relationship between the two, it would make people believe it. Others would probably say that the Su family knew that they would lose or were willing to become a beauty. Instead, the Xue family was petty, and Lu Xia was even more troublesome. If she really married into the Xue family, she might have confirmed this statement. If this was the case, it would probably cut off her chances of entering the Xue family.

The light was slightly dark. After hearing Li Pin's words, Liu Qingdi came out and raised his glass and said, "Thank you Brother Li's auspicious words. Today's matter is indeed the surrender of the Su family. If Li Heng had also taken out a poem, I would probably not dare to write poems and show off his ugly words. At that time, it would be hard to say which side Miss Lu would choose..."

The words of disruption did not have much effect, because Ning Yi, whom he mentioned, was standing by the railing and watching the stage below. Lu Xia did not feel at ease because of this, and looked at Li Pin with a thorny expression. Li Pin then sighed, raised his glass and drank it all, smiling and said no more. When he turned to look at Ning Yi, his eyes also looked down. Not long after, Xue Yan, Xue Jin, Su Wenxing, Lu Xia and others also turned their heads and looked down.

The sound of silk and bamboo has quietly started.

The hall, which still seemed noisy, was a stage with a little dark light. A woman in white dress sat in the middle of the stage, gently stroked the guqin in front of her, and her long hair was tied back to her head and poured down. The white skirt spread out like a lotus lotus on the stage. The sound of the piano was ding dong, and the soft and comfortable feeling was mixed in this human voice.

The second floor of the Xue family and Su family talked on the second floor were the focus of the conversation. More people had already looked on the stage at this time. The noisy sound gradually turned into whispers, as if it was smoothed out by the soft and slow piano sound. Unconsciously, the piano sound seemed to be getting clearer and clearer, and the hall had become quieter and quieter.

The woman looked like she was painted on the stage by ink painting. Her slender fingers were gently plucked, and she had a elegant and attractive temperament. She surrounded her face with a veil, and she lowered her head slightly, but she showed her calm and leisurely eyes and pink lips. Although she couldn't see all her appearance, she was definitely a very outstanding beautiful woman. It seemed that she didn't have too many listeners in the Italian hall, but she seemed to be playing leisurely in the uninhabited mountains or lakes.

Perhaps only a few people could understand the infectiousness caused by the figure in just a moment.

"Who is this?"

Xue Jin asked softly beside the railing on the second floor, naturally, asking Lu Xia, but Lu Xia shook her head in confusion. Xue Yan looked at the people around her and whispered: "What kind of song is this?"

Liu Qingdi, who was beside him, frowned at this time, and subconsciously looked at Ning Yi. He saw Ning Yi tilting his head and looking down, his fingers gently tapping something on the railing, and shook his head and said, "It seems like I have heard it before, but... it is difficult to confirm at this time..."

"It's like a water tune song head..." Lu Xia replied softly.

"This song has been sung everywhere some time ago. I haven't heard it ten times and it's twenty times. This melody..." Someone whispered, "Did you play it wrong?"

The words were not very confident. Before the voice fell, the woman on the stage finally raised her head, swept across the audience with a clear gaze, and only stopped for a moment on the second floor. After the veil, the singing came out leisurely.

"When will the bright moon come..."

Water tune song head.

This music has been sung countless times in Jiangning in the past year. For many regular brothels, there is actually no new meaning. But the song is different from usual. It still follows the skeleton of the past, but the song gives people a feeling of leisurely and ethereality. During this period, it does not lose the grandeur of the lyrics, making it difficult to determine whether the sound is formal or deviant. For a moment, some whispers sounded in the hall, and then calmed down after a moment. These people probably realized that the song was good. If there were any words, it would be better to say it after listening to it.

Of course, no matter how the tune changes, the next lyrics are always the same.

That is: "Ask the sky with wine."

"I don't know what year it will be tonight... I want to ride the wind, but I'm afraid of the jade building and jade hall..."

There were not many people in the hall talking. The sound of the piano and the singing influenced everything around in this moment. In the white clothes, the guqin, long hair, veil, and the clear and melodious song sound, this scene seemed to be a spotless fairy, causing infection and impact. The music was different from usual, and the singing style was different from usual, but it was not out of the way. The skeleton still remained unchanged, but every turning point, every tremolo, and every tune seemed to have its own soul. With the combination of the ethereal and beautiful voice, it created its own new artistic conception.

"It's so cold that I'm dancing and playing with the clear shadows, it's like being in the world..."

After singing the song, the woman smiled slightly and focused on the piano. Ning Yi saw the gaze she had just cast inadvertently on the second floor and shook her head gently. Of course, this could not disturb the tranquility and smile in the woman's gaze below. She hadn't done these things for three years, and there was no need to do it.

Before this, Ning Yi had never really heard Nie Yunzhu sing in ancient style. But he knew how this song came about. Ning Yi taught her the modern singing style of the water tune song head and told her that she liked this style. She actually disagreed with it, but she never refuted it. Until this time, the song was like combining two songs in an almost magical way, but it did not give people any abrupt feeling.

“Several floors are so high…”

"At least in this matter, whether it is a variety of poems and music, or the folk songs that the young master said just now, if Yun Zhu can't do it, I'm afraid that few people in the entire Jiangning City can do it..."

Thinking of the words she said when she was either playful or confident, and when she heard his songs, Ning Yi probably understood it at this time, but now she could only listen to the song quietly like others.

"Turn the red pavilion, lower the beautiful house, shining without sleep... There should be no hatred, why should we be farewell..."

On the other hand, in a window on one side of the hall, Yuan Jin'er looked at the figure on the stage and listened quietly to the song. Mother Chen behind him was also listening, but at some point he frowned and said, "This is Yunzhu..."

She had heard Nie Yunzhu's piano music in the past, and she also listened to it at a professional level. Nie Yunzhu's attainment in this area was excellent when she was in Jinfeng Tower, but in fact, she was at least a bit arrogant and arrogant in temperament. Originally, this was also a kind of artistic conception that others liked. For example, Lu Caicai also had a similar temperament, but Lu Caicai's temperament was self-pity, and in the end she could not compare to Nie Yunzhu's cold and arrogance.

But at this time, the coldness was gone, and the once alienated arrogance had disappeared. Instead, it was just natural and gentle like a stream that enveloped everything warmly, moistening things silently. Almost no one was willing to disturb such songs and artistic conception. When she came on stage, she did not need to overwhelm everything with a high-profile attitude, but was like... she didn't need to be controversial about it, which directly infected everyone...

There is no need to compare it with Lu Xia and others, because it is not at the same level or system at all.

"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon has phases and waxing, and this is difficult to complete in ancient times..."

The woman sang the lyrics with a smile and joy. Not long after, when she opened her lips and sang the two lines of "I hope people will last forever and share the beauty of the moon from thousands of miles away", she seemed to feel a little reluctant. Her voice and the piano sound took a long time before she stopped. She lowered her head and sat there quietly, waiting for a while, and the applause finally rang.

Amid the applause, some people on the first and second floors began to ask the origin of the women around them, or excitedly began to discuss with the people around them to let her come over.

In this voice, the woman stood up from the stage, smiled and bowed slightly, not speaking to show her gratitude. Then she walked towards one side of the stage, but it was not the backstage. Just now, Lu Xia poured a glass of wine on the small platform next to her and sent it to Xue Yan. At this time, the woman also took a porcelain cup above, but did not touch the wine pot, but walked to the side and poured a cup of tea.

In the hall, people looked at this scene with some confusion, watching the next development in a whisper...
