Yuqin suddenly said: "I see, that's why Miss He can avoid it and avoid going back to the main store as much as possible?"
Thinking of Zuo Siyuan's usual behavior, Yuqin couldn't help but smile.
He Wanci sighed: "That's pretty much it. It's not a big deal, but I really don't know how to deal with Zuo Siyuan."
Wei Jing smiled and said: "Actually, although Brother Zuo is usually a bit glib, he actually has a good heart. Miss He is not as good as..." Before he finished speaking, He Wanci quickly interrupted Wei Jing and waved: "Okay. , Okay! Second boss, please spare me!"
All three of them smiled knowingly.
After that, the three of them chatted for a while, during which He Wanci finally ate some pasta with Yu Qin's kind persuasion, and then left the two of them for a while to do other things.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and this day is the day for the joint selection of the three kings. Wei Jing and Yu Qin each dressed up as a wealthy businessman and a geisha, and came to the Yise Building again. They saw that the place was already crowded with people, mostly from Xinyang. Local residents in the area came to join in the fun and witness the big scene. The open space in front of the building had been transformed into a stage for the girls who participated in the selection to show off their talents.
And above the Yisei Building, there are three very gorgeous seats in the outer corridor. They are empty. Many people are coming in and out. Tea and snacks are prepared and thoughtfully arranged around them. They seem to be waiting for three extraordinary people to come. Sit back and relax.
At this time, Wei Jing first took Yuqin to look for Xue Jian, and asked Yuqin to report under the name "Liu Yin", and then met with He Wanci and others who had arrived early. After everything was settled, the two of them sat quietly in the audience Waiting for the competition to begin.
Not long after, the time came. Xue Jian walked onto the stage. He first calmed down the emotions of the audience and calmed down the surroundings. Then he bowed in all directions and said to everyone: "Thank you for your honor! Today's selection meeting is about to begin. Wait a minute." If you see any girl with outstanding talents, please don’t begrudge your applause and cheers!”
At this time, someone at the scene had noticed that the three seats upstairs in Isshiki were all occupied. They must have been the three princes.
At this time, Wei Jing took a look at the three people. The person sitting on the right was plump, always had a smile on his face, had a bold temperament, and interacted with others the most. This person was none other than King Liang Xian, whom Wei Jing had been tracking for a long time. The prince on the left seems to be more restrained. He is just stunned and thoughtful when sitting on the chair, showing no emotion or anger. This person's performance is also consistent with the results of He Wanci's investigation. He is the relatively low-key Prince Jing Gong.
The prince in the middle seemed calm and didn't speak much, but he was not angry or intimidating. His eyes were very sharp. Wei Jing couldn't help but think to himself that this man was probably the King of Shu Zhao who was most involved in the martial arts. He must be one of the three. The most difficult one to deal with.
There were a large number of people in this selection, and Yu Qin was arranged to play in the third to last position. Therefore, she and Wei Jing were in the audience first to watch the performance of other people. Unexpectedly, after more than a dozen people passed by, they realized that there were many Girls also play the piano.
Wei Jing couldn't help but think that if the three princes had listened to too much qin music before, they would inevitably be tired. Unless Yuqin could clearly outperform the others, the performance would not be outstanding. Moreover, when a few people played just now, the three princes' reactions were dull. , doesn’t seem to be particularly fond of piano music, which is really nerve-wracking now.
Among these performances, some sang, some performed dances, and some played different musical instruments, among which the guqin was the main instrument. The contestants had already been screened by Xue Jian, so they all had a certain level of proficiency.
After the previous rounds of performances were over, it was finally Yuqin's turn to take the stage. At this time, her full face was exposed, but due to the heavy makeup, even if she took off the gauze, others could not see her true face clearly.
This must have been a deliberate arrangement by Wei Jing and asked Zuo Siyuan to put a lot of effort here. After all, Yuqin used to be a famous prostitute in Qingyanlou. Although this place is far away from Nanjing, there is still a risk of being recognized. Therefore, Wei Jing took precautions and asked Yu Qin to go into battle with heavy makeup.
Since there is no clear number of people to be selected in the selection, as long as the princes like them, it is possible even if everyone is selected, and vice versa, the girls can only perform their best to win the prince's favor.
After Yuqin came on stage, he bowed to the three princes first, and then slowly sat down. When the surroundings became quiet, Yuqin's delicate hand moved back and forth, and the music of the piano sounded leisurely. The sound was brisk, clear, and continuous, just like a young knight riding a horse all over the world. , traveling among the mountains and rivers, makes people feel like "the spring breeze is triumphant and the horse's hoof is sick".
The three princes had just listened to a lot of qin music, and were feeling a little less interested. At this moment, they suddenly heard the Yuqin music. King Shu Zhao seemed to have something in his heart, and he began to look at Yuqin differently.
At this time, the music has reached the middle section. From time to time, there are different sounds that stand out in the music, like the sound of gold and iron, but it is not abrupt. Instead, it is like a knight shouting "drive" when he spurs his horse. It complements the main melody and is inspiring.
At this time, Wei Jing was listening to the playing of the elm qin in the audience. After just a few notes, Wei Jing felt that the music was quite familiar. After another long while, he finally heard that the music implied the image of majestic mountains and rivers, and also had a hint of drunkenness. The unrestrained and uninhibited meaning of Jianghu turns out to be an adaptation of a piece Yuqin composed on the spot during a sword duel between Wei Jing and Sima Sect Master.
This song was conceived under the excitement of swordsmanship on the two paths of "Poetry and Painting Jiangshan Sword" and "Dongfeng Drunken Sword". However, it was in the middle of the sword competition that Sima Sect Leader temporarily invited the song, so the song did not have a beginning at that time. Go directly to the climax. Today, Yuqin's performance has already filled in the beginning of the song, and modified many details in the middle to be more perfect. The whole song sounds melodious and lively, with horses' hooves interlaced and the swordsmanship flowing.
When the Yuqin song was finished, the crowd cheered loudly, and the three princes smiled and clapped one after another to show their encouragement.
But in Wei Jing's view, although the princes praised the song, they didn't seem to be deeply moved. After all, he was the prince of the court, and his vision was naturally extraordinary. It was really hard to say whether Yuqin was sure of winning. .
At this time, the last two people also finished their performances. Just when Xue Jian was about to announce that the selection was over, King Shu Zhao suddenly said a few words to the minister beside him. The man hurried downstairs and conveyed the words of the prince to Xue Jian. .
Hearing this, Xue Jian was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, then nodded to indicate that he understood, and then said to the audience: "King Shu Zhao has an order. There are too many girls playing the piano today. Please invite the players to come on stage together. , Your Majesty has other exam questions that I would like to test you all against."
The whole audience was in an uproar after hearing this, and the dozen or so girls playing the piano didn't know why, so they had no choice but to walk onto the stage holding the piano. At this time, an old piano player also held a piano and walked out from Yiselou, followed by him. Get on stage.
Xue Jian added: "This Mr. Fu will play a piece of piano music later. This piece only has the main tone and no accompaniment. Girls, if you feel like it, you can play the piano by yourself and provide accompaniment for Mr. Fu's piano sound."
One of the onlookers asked: "If everyone plays the piano at the same time, wouldn't it be a mess?"
Xue Jian nodded and said: "Yes, so when to add accompaniment, so that the music can still sound beautiful, it is up to you to test whether you should compete with others and not give in to each other, or whether you should stay on your own and be harmonious, it all depends on your own performance. "
After Wei Jing listened to what Xue Jian said, he discovered that King Zhao of Shu was not indifferent to the music, but quite the opposite. He must have a special liking for the music, and his requirements would naturally be stricter. This question can be said to be very profound. It’s not easy, but I don’t know whether King Shu Zhao will really include this question in the selection criteria, or is it just a whim and fun?
Just when Wei Jing was a little worried, he saw Yu Qin looking at him on the stage. Then he smiled and nodded slightly. Wei Jing immediately smiled back and thought to himself: "Miss Qin is so good at playing the piano. How can she still do it?" What’s there to worry about? I’ll just watch.”
At this time, more than a dozen girls had sat down and formed a circle. The piano player named Fu sat in the center of the circle with a guqin in front of him. Seeing that the time was right, Xue Jian said to the piano player: "Mr. Fu, please!"
The piano player nodded, flicked his fingers, and the sound of the piano sounded faintly!
