Miss Manqing, whose full name is Shen Manqing, was originally the daughter of a civil servant in the capital, but because of her father's crime, she now came to Yinzhou, a land of insecurity. She has always been a lady of the family, and no one has ever dared to see her so close. Tease him.
As for Liu Zheng, although he is a dandy, his appearance is not bad. Most Liangzhou people are tall, and he is about 183cm tall. He is not a white-faced scholar, but he is also sharp-edged, handsome and majestic.
Such a man beside her, such a gentle voice.
"What do you want to hear?"
This would be unbearable for any girl who is new to the world.
"Mr. Liu, I, I..."
Manqing's little hands were tangled together.
Liu Zheng was quite amused, and while he was drinking, he laughed and said: "How about this, Miss Manqing, if I, Liu Zheng, are really better than you, how about you take off this veil and show it to everyone?"
"Shameless person!"
"You, you, you, how dare you offend a beautiful lady!"
A group of scholars and young men began to smash the table again in anger.
hypocrite!
Liu Zheng smiled coldly, he didn't believe it. Who here doesn't want to see what this girl Manqing looks like? Given this opportunity, you don't know how to thank me, but you even scold me?
Do these people have any conscience?
really.
Being teased like this by Liu Zheng, Manqing lowered her head and said in a voice as loud as a mosquito: "Sir, if you really can win, I can only show it to you, okay?"
good!
Liu Zheng laughed loudly.
When everyone saw how excessive this guy was, they were about to take action. All kinds of insults, abuses and taunts were made. The ridicule continued.
Liu Zheng was too lazy to care about them.
Sit in front of the Yao Qin, play the Qin with both hands, and slowly close your eyes.
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Liu Zheng's movements of playing the piano were quite charming, and it seemed that he was not proficient in this skill. As soon as he put his hands on the piano, his whole temperament changed.
From being bold and bold just now, he has become gentle and elegant.
Can this guy really play the piano?
Chen Xiang was the first to not believe it!
Zheng Yueru also looked at it curiously, isn't this young man talking nonsense?
"Dong dong dong..."
Liu Zheng moved his fingers lightly, and the sound of the piano followed. It was also a song "Remembering the Old Friend", but it was different from the "Grudge" Shen Manqing had just started. Liu Zheng came straight up, with a big rhythm! Don't you like family feuds? Do you hate it? Okay! Then just come to hate the family and the country!
This is a cross-century adaptation!
In the Yao Qin, everything is performed with iron bones, soldiers on the battlefield, hatred between the country and the family, and corpses floating thousands of miles away.
"Oh My God!"
"This is......"
"ah!"
Liu Zheng always kept his eyes closed. In his previous life, he was forced by his family to learn guzheng since he was a child. Although there are some differences between guzheng and Yaoqin, the difference is not big.
There are thousands of tracks in his head!
In addition, he has a thorough understanding of the various changes and integrations of music over thousands of years!
Adapting a piece of music is naturally something he can do easily.
And coincidentally, this song "Remembering Old Friends" was the adaptation assignment assigned to him by his guzheng teacher back then.
This "Remembering an Old Friend" is also called "Remembering an Old Friend in the Mountains". The whole song is divided into six sections. The beginning and the end both use relatively clear and translucent overtones and ups and downs of dexterity. This section, in particular, begins with an overtone, causing There is a peaceful atmosphere in the empty mountain valley, the overtones stop, and the thoughts unfold with the ups and downs of the tones.
But in the hands of Liu Zheng, great changes have taken place!
The same overtones, but the rhythm is different.
This will give people a very close and tense feeling. It seems that there is a chilling atmosphere in the mountains.
I am sitting on the top of the mountain.
The second level is even more sonorous. It is not the lingering and pathos in the original version. The short, fast and flat tone represents the mutual conquests on the battlefield and the turbulent vastness of the national war.
at this time.
The person playing the piano is either strategizing thousands of miles away, or watching the battle with a cold eye, recalling the past.
The third and fourth sections are also high-pitched sections, with the rhythm of the expedition advancing layer by layer, thoughts rolling, and new trends rising and falling.
The fifth paragraph, the sixth paragraph...
at this time.
The whole audience was shocked.
Each one of them looked at Liu Zheng with a look of shock.
"this......"
"What song is this?"
"Is this still "Remembering Old Friends"?"
Many people who knew the music of silk and bamboo asked questions one after another.
At this time, Shen Manqing, who was beside Liu Zheng, had already covered her mouth and started sobbing. The affairs in the court were similar to the national war and conquest. Shen Manqing's father was also a partisan. Dai Zui was exiled. The intrigues and intrigues involved were even more brutal than the wars between countries!
This song directly brought back Shen Manqing's memories.
Born into such a scholarly family and a privileged family, she was envied by others and received a good education since she was a child. Then something unexpected happened, and she was reduced to this land of fireworks, making a living by selling jokes...
This feeling, this scene, this song.
Who can not feel sad?
Ding dong.
Liu Zheng finally stopped in his hands, then slowly opened his eyes and smiled slightly.
The entire Wanhua Tower fell into a deathly silence.
The lingering sound lingers, this is the real lingering sound.
"good!"
Among the group of scholars, Shen Xing was the first to stand up with an excited look on his face: "What a great piece of music! A piece of music that tells the story of the chaotic world, a divine comedy!"
Others nodded in agreement.
Shen Manqing has always been blessed by Liu Zheng's side: "Young master is a great talent, Manqing is not as good as..."
Zheng Yueru was also shocked. It seemed that meeting this young master of the Liu family for the first time really gave her a lot of surprises.
"What divine song? Shut up!"
Chen Xiang was already mad at this time and shouted: "Is this also called a divine comedy? Tampering with the ancient classics is a treason! Does being a heretic count as a divine comedy?"
As soon as he said this, people once again came out to support him.
After all, in this era, many people still cannot accept this kind of arrangement.
"What do you think, Miss Zheng?"
Liu Zheng smiled.
Zheng Yueru laughed: "Brother Liu is proficient in music, there is no doubt about it. But Mr. Chen is right, this piece of music by Brother Liu is indeed a bit of a coincidence."
Next to her, Shen Manqing wanted to say a few words to Liu Zheng. I'm afraid she was the only one present who knew that Mr. Liu's piano skills were already at the master level.
But Liu Zheng stopped him with a chuckle: "Okay, let's play another song!"
Everyone was shocked.
Did Mr. Liu come prepared, or did he just come by surprise?
No matter what it is, it is really shocking.
Liu Zheng played the piano again and pondered for a moment.
As for playing those classics that everyone in the world knows, he naturally disdains it. If he wants to play, he will play something shocking and completely shut up these people!
Got it!
Liu Zheng smiled slightly.
Shen Manqing was beside him. When he saw Liu Zheng's smile, for some reason, his heart jumped suddenly. He has a strong impression of people who are proficient in music, not to mention the confidence on his face at this time. .. ....
"Ding ding dong dong..."
This time, Liu Zheng played "Guan Shan Yue" directly!
This is a piece of music that absolutely does not exist in this world. It can be played and sung! A piece with a style beyond the Great Wall, paired with the poet Li Bai's classic poem "Guan Shan Yue", then this level is simply extraordinary.
"What kind of song is this?"
"I've never heard of it..."
"this......"
The whole audience was slightly shocked.
This "Moon Over the Mountains" was originally a piece from the "Collection of Yuefu Poems". It is a military music played by the border guards on their horses. The music expresses the feelings of the border guards who miss their hometown and serve their country.
"The bright moon rises from the Tianshan Mountains, among the vast sea of clouds!"
And at this time.
Liu Zheng paired with this poem is a perfect match.
"The wind that stretches thousands of miles blows through Yumen Pass!"
Suddenly, Zheng Yueru stood up with a look of shock.
The literati present were instantly intoxicated.
With just two lines of poetry, the majesty and the style beyond the Great Wall of this piece have been fully demonstrated in one go!
"The Han descends to the road in vain, and the barbarians take a peek at the clear bay!"
"The place where you came to conquer the battlefield, but no one has returned!"
"good!"
Shen Xing couldn't help but stood up and burst into tears.
Xiliang is located in the northwest, and to the north is the home of the Xiongnu. The Longyan Dynasty was repeatedly invaded by the Xiongnu, that is, the Hu people! These few sentences also describe the heroic spirit of the warriors defending their homes and country, and wrapping their corpses in horse leather.
Shen Manqing was stunned.
Just now, this was the song "Remembering Old Friends", which described the fighting on the battlefield and the suffering of the people. And now the song "Guanshan Yue" seems to show her that since ancient times, war has been inevitable. Wherever there are people, there will be war. There are disputes. Generations change and disputes continue. Under such circumstances, we are still living in a peaceful environment. What is there to feel sorry for?
"The garrison looks around and looks sad when thinking about returning home."
"The tall building is like this night, and I have no time to sigh!"
The whole audience was shocked.
In fact, the song "Guan Shan Yue" is not very difficult, but this poem is very classic.
“What a poem!”
“Great song!”
Zheng Yueru couldn't help but exclaimed.
What kind of person is this young master of the Liu family? He can write love stories, and he can write national poems of this family easily. Is he really the rumored No. 1 dude in Liangzhou?
finally.
Finished with one song.
"good!"
"This song can only be heard in heaven, how many times can it be heard in the human world!"
"Master Liu is a great talent!"
Now, it was no longer Chen Xiang's turn to question.
After all, you can’t deceive people if you are truly talented and knowledgeable.
"This, this..."
"Someone else must have made it up for him, that must be it!"
Chen Xiang looked at Liu Zheng and wanted to vomit blood.
"how?"
The literati and poets in the audience cheered one after another. Liu Zheng also smiled slightly and looked at Shen Manqing beside him.
Shen Manqing was so ashamed that she lowered her head.
Liu Zheng had already agreed to win without any suspense, so naturally she couldn't cheat on him.
"Hahahaha, don't worry, I will discuss the restaurant with Miss Zheng first. We will talk about it later, we will talk about it later..." Liu Zheng chuckled, this Shen Manqing is really a wonderful person. Son...
Then he looked at Zheng Yueru, cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Miss Zheng?"
Zheng Yueru smiled faintly, as if she had been prepared for it. She had already asked the shopkeeper of Wanhua Building to take the bill here, and said with a playful smile: "Brother Liu, are you serious? I can't deceive Brother Liu anymore. Just wait and see." Look at this account book and tell me whether you want to cross Wanhua Tower!"
Liu Zheng took it suspiciously and was stunned when he saw it.
What is going on?
Are you losing money every month?
Come on, this is a green restaurant! The land of fireworks!
You are almost doing business without capital, how can you lose money?
It has been five years since this Wanhua Building opened. However, in these five years, not a single month has been profitable! There is no other reason. Yinzhou is too poor. People who can come here to have fun
, that is, those young masters from aristocratic families, and those lackeys and traders.
But in a place like Yinzhou, who can do business and make a lot of money?
It's okay to play occasionally, but who can tolerate it if you come often?
In addition, these fans of Wanhua House are all slaves bought from other places at high prices. Yinzhou is remote and the transportation costs are extremely high.
Therefore, business was bleak and we could not make ends meet.
Deficits are naturally inevitable.
Liu Zheng glanced at Zheng Yueru.
Suddenly he realized a problem. This Wanhua Building seemed to be founded by Miss Zheng, so why was she still persisting in losing money every month?
Could it be...
Does she have the same idea as herself?
This is a very dangerous signal! Could it be that the Zheng family, like him, wants to sit in Yinzhou and covet the world?
No!
The Zheng family probably doesn't have such strength yet, at least the branch of the Zheng family in Yinzhou is not that powerful.
So, it seems that the Zheng family wants to secure their position as the most prominent family.
Thinking of this, Liu Zheng felt a lot more relaxed, but he was already wary of the Zheng family.
"Brother Liu, Wanhua Tower is my hard work. Even if I want to give it to you, how much money should I give?"
Zheng Yueru smiled bitterly.
yes.
When she first founded Wanhua Building, she had already spent 5,000 taels! In the past five years, she has lost another 10,000 taels. How much should she sell? Liu Zheng would not be happy if she sold too much.
Zheng Yueru must be unwilling to sell less.
It's okay for Liu Zheng not to look at the bill. After seeing the bill, he realized that this place of fireworks is really the best organization that can do business with the world and collect intelligence from the world!
He must win it!
Liu Zheng suddenly smiled: "Miss Zheng, don't you think so?"
"I, Liu Zheng, will become a shareholder. Can we make a betting agreement?"
As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was stunned.
Zheng Yueru also looked dumbfounded: "Liu...Brother Liu, what is this gambling agreement?"
