Girl Manqing, whose full name is Shen Manqing, was originally the daughter of a civil servant in the capital, but because of her father's guilt, she now came to Yinzhou, a land of insecurity. She has always been a lady among everyone, and no one has ever dared to tease him at such a close distance.
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 gentle voice from such a man beside her.
"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!"
"You, you, you, how dare you offend a beautiful lady!"
A group of scholars and young men began to smash the table in anger again.
hypocrite!
Liu Zheng smiled coldly, but he didn't believe it. Who here didn't want to see what this girl Manqing looked like? Given this opportunity, you still don’t know how to thank me, but you actually 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: "Master, if you really can win, I'll only show it to you, okay?"
good!
Liu Zheng laughed.
When everyone saw that this guy was so over the top, they almost took action. They were insulting and taunting him with all kinds of insults and taunts.
Liu Zheng was too lazy to care about them.
Sitting in front of the Yao Qin, playing the Qin with both hands, he slowly closed his eyes.
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Liu Zheng's movements of playing the piano were quite charming, and it seemed that he was not someone who was not proficient in this art. As soon as I put my hands on the piano, my 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 unlike Shen Manqing's "Grudge" just started, Liu Zheng came directly, with a big rhythm! Don’t you like hatred between family and country? good! Then go straight to the hatred of 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 of 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 fusions 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.
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 end use relatively clear and translucent overtones and ups and downs of dexterous Sanban. Especially this section begins with an overtone, creating a peaceful atmosphere in the empty mountain and valley. The overtones stop, and thoughts unfold with the ups and downs of the tones.
But in Liu Zheng's hands, 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.
In the second level, the sound is even more sonorous. It is not the lingering and pathos in the original version, but the short and fast 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 coldly, recalling the past.
The third and fourth sections are also high-pitched sections, with the rhythm of the expedition advancing layer by layer, thoughts tumbling, 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, was covering her mouth and sobbing. The affairs of the court were similar to the wars and conquests of this country. Shen Manqing's father was also exiled because of partisanship. The intrigues and deceptions involved are even more brutal than the wars between countries!
This song directly evokes 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 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 song!"
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 these words came out, people once again came out to support him.
After all, in this era, many people still can't 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. She was probably 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's 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 nearby. When she saw Liu Zheng's smile, for some reason, her heart jumped suddenly. I have a strong impression of people who are proficient in music, not to mention the confidence on his face at this moment...
"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 song with a style beyond the Great Wall, paired with the poet Li Bai's classic poem "Guan Shan Yue", then this level is simply not high.
"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 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 blows tens of thousands of miles across 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 barbarian has a clear view of the bay!"
"I came to conquer the land, but no one returned it!"
"good!"
Shen Xing couldn't help but stood up and burst into tears.
Xiliang is located in the northwest. Going north is the home of the Huns. The Longyan Dynasty was repeatedly invaded by the Huns, that is, the Hu people! These few sentences also describe the heroism of the soldiers who defend their home and country and wrap their bodies in horse leather.
Shen Manqing was stunned.
This was just a song called "Remembering an Old Friend", which describes the fighting on the battlefield and the suffering of the people. And now the song "Guan Shan Yue" seems to show her that war has been inevitable since ancient times. Wherever there are people, there will be strife. Generations are changing and disputes continue. Under such circumstances, we are still living in a peaceful environment. What is there to feel sorry for?
"The garrison looks to the side 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? I can write about love, but I can also write about this family's national poem. Is he really the rumored No. 1 dude in Liangzhou?
finally.
Finished with one song.
"good!"
"This song should only exist 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, real talent and learning cannot be deceived.
"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, let me 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...
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 then tell me whether you want to cross Wanhua Tower!"
Liu Zheng took it suspiciously and was stunned when he saw it.
What's happening here?
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?
Zheng Yueru smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Liu, please look carefully."
Liu Zheng was indeed speechless when he saw it.
It has been five years since this Wanhua Building opened. However, in these five years, not a single month was profitable! There is no other reason than that Yinzhou is too poor. The only people who can come here to have fun are the young men from aristocratic families and the lackeys and traders.
However, in a place like Yinzhou, who can do business and make a lot of money?
It's okay to play occasionally, but who can bear 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 all kinds of 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 seems to have been founded by Miss Zheng, so why is 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 brainchild. 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 five thousand taels! In the past five years, I have lost another 10,000 taels. How much should I sell? Liu Zheng was not happy if he 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 buy shares. 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?"
