After Wang Fuchou finished speaking, everyone suddenly understood.
No wonder a high platform was set up downstairs, and the purpose of doing it for a long time was not to sell pianos, but to... fight pianos!
This is the first time Li Sheng has seen this kind of business activity.
In previous lives, if there were similar competitive activities, it was most likely that some merchants were trying to gain popularity in hopes of subsequent product sales.
This competition to win prizes is itself a mixture of discounts and goods.
In fact, sports activities such as NBA are mostly like this.
But this time it was obviously not the case, because this mysterious wealthy businessman packed up all the pianos and used them as prizes.
Calculating the total price, it is about dozens of taels per instrument. There are more than a hundred pianos of various types here, which is several thousand taels.
A few thousand taels is nothing in a place like Chang'an. After all, it is a city where nobles and nobles gather, and where His Majesty Li Er personally lives.
But no matter what, this move was still very arrogant.
Such a bold move, just for a competition of piano skills, made Li Sheng feel that it was really an eye-opener.
Sure enough, no matter what era there is a need for aesthetics, and music is undoubtedly a part of aesthetics.
certainly……
Li Sheng would never have thought that in this piano competition, her own mother saw that he had no partner, so she specially looked for talented girls for him...
Regarding the issue of children's marriage, Empress Changsun probably looked at Li Er's wishes.
But recently, Li Er was somehow brainwashed by Li Sheng and began to promote free love. As a woman, Queen Changsun naturally had her own methods.
As a queen, she knew a lot, and of course she also knew that after the implementation of the imperial examination, the word "family" would become more and more valuable.
So instead of finding a daughter from a wealthy family who is actually not very reliable, it is better to find a talented girl as much as possible.
No, Li Er said that Li Sheng was going to participate in the piano performance.
When Empress Changsun learned that her child was interested in piano art and had such a need, she naturally made trouble in secret, so she directed such a scene...
At this time, after leaving Tiance Mansion, she booked a table with several female companions at a nearby restaurant.
At this moment, I am observing across from the teahouse.
…
Of course, it is impossible for Li Sheng to know this.
After hearing the news, Li Sheng's first reaction was to recall how the business activities in his previous life were different from those in the Tang Dynasty.
The second reaction is...
The warbler beside him poked him.
Turning around, she saw Ying'er smiling and pointing at Mian'er across the table with her chin.
Mian'er's little face was red with excitement, but she lowered her head and didn't dare to move. Her arms moved, and you didn't need to guess that she was rubbing the corners of her clothes.
Li Sheng suddenly understood, "Mian'er, do you want to go on stage?"
"No, no, no, sir, my piano skills..."
"Let's go."
Li Sheng directly took the lead in the charge, and Ying'er behind him immediately pulled Mian'er out.
Several of the guys who came with us were very excited when they saw that the shopkeeper Ying'er's best friend was about to take the stage.
——If Miss Mian'er became famous, would it be reasonable for Zichengzhai's business not to increase several times?
Besides, in ancient times, material conditions were scarce and opportunities for learning were rare.
Having someone around you who knows how to play the piano is really something that people admire even more than in modern times.
All of a sudden, the focus was on Mian'er, but she looked very nervous.
Li Sheng yawned directly.
"If you are really nervous, then let's go back. Anyway, others have bought it, and you can't buy it if you don't go on stage."
"No, sir, I will participate, I will participate!"
When Li Sheng said this, Mian'er finally got his fighting spirit.
Smiling slightly, he led a group of waiters downstairs.
…
After a while.
Li Sheng came downstairs.
The proportion of women is really quite high, no wonder there were wolves howling upstairs...
While the crowd was cheering, four men and four women took the stage separately.
"I don't care about my background today, but I won the first prize with my piano skills!"
"The four winners can take the four pianos first and enter the next round. If they continue to win, they can continue to take the piano!"
The rules are very simple and clear.
Li Sheng was a little surprised. If he kept winning, wouldn't he be able to win 25 pianos along the way? This ancient man really knew how to play.
Then, the piano playing began.
Whoever's piano sound can surpass the others will be rewarded.
Li Sheng felt that this competition was not easy. First of all, there were too many people here, and eight people played the music they knew at the same time, so they had to overwhelm the others.
This is obviously not easy.
But soon, he found that he still underestimated the ancients.
As soon as the performance started, the sound of the piano immediately overwhelmed the noise!
There are string types and plucked types, but no matter which type you choose, your playing skills are in place, and the penetration of some key syllables is really incredible!
After a while, the winner was gradually decided.
Li Sheng identified three people with good piano skills, but there were four people who passed the test. There were also four places where onlookers gathered.
You can also tell who is better and who is worse by looking at the number of onlookers.
then……
Suddenly a gong sounded and the host announced:
"The victory has been decided!"
…
In this competition, Li Sheng felt that his level could not be said to be very high, but it was definitely not low either.
And this is only the first round, obviously there will definitely be strong players later.
But what Li Sheng is most curious about is that the organizer...
Like this, eight people perform in Bagua directions, and onlookers who get closer can naturally tell who is more powerful.
But what about the organizer? Someone with such a distinguished status would definitely not be crowded here. He should be in a nearby restaurant or something.
But the question is, since we are so far apart, can we still hear the music?
Unless this person is here specifically to select players!
Li Sheng felt very strange. If it was for this, then the scene would be big enough.
But considering that the older generation likes to be lively, it doesn’t seem surprising.
The four huqins of various types that had been arranged in advance were put aside. At this time, the host announced.
"The winner will be determined in the first round. The four guqins are worth twenty taels each and now belong to four talented men and beauties!"
"The next round begins!"
…
Then, four more people took the stage!
The second round of piano fighting begins!
Seeing that Mian'er beside him had gradually changed from nervousness to excitement, he was mesmerized in distinguishing the piano skills of different contestants.
Li Sheng knew that this little girl had almost integrated into the atmosphere and entered the state.
So it was the third round.
Li Sheng patted Mian'er on the shoulder, leaned in and whispered, "Go up if you want, don't miss the opportunity to be in good shape!"
"Yes, sir!"
Mian'er took a deep breath and then decisively took the stage.
I took a harp with a bow and started playing!
There were noisy sounds all around.
After Mian'er took the stage, it quickly became much smaller. People nearby looked at Mian'er in surprise.
"This girl is very good at playing the piano!"
"This craftsmanship, once the screen is blocked, it is clearly our style!"
Soon, Mian'er, who came from a humble background, began to attract the attention of onlookers with her powerful piano skills.
In less than a minute, almost everyone gathered here!
Li Sheng smiled and commented silently in his heart.
Although it's still a little short of heat, it's really good.
