Prince Lingwu's face was still very good, and several people soon met Ouyang Ku in the hall of Kucha Zhai.
A skinny little old man with a sparse goatee, sallow complexion, and hazy eyes. He may seem inconspicuous, but he is a well-known Qiqin ambassador in China.
"I've met Master Ouyang." Jing Qianyu bowed and saluted, and Lu Zheng and others also raised their hands in salute.
Ouyang Ku returned the courtesy, sat down, looked at Jing Qianyu and his entourage, and said in a seemingly polite but distant manner, "I wonder, Princess, why are you here?"
"This is Mr. Lu Zheng. He heard about Master Ouyang's reputation and wanted to invite Master Ouyang to listen to a piece of piano." Jing Qianyu said.
Lu Zheng and others are not bullies. Even when Si Lingxi asked someone to play the qin, she first played a piece for ten famous qin masters. Of course, the final competition between the ten famous qin masters would be Si Lingxi is okay.
"Oh?" Ouyang Ku looked at Lu Zheng and found that he was a young scholar in his early twenties. He couldn't help but despise him, but he still nodded, "It happened that a friend gave me two cans of Western Region Snow Top, so I invited him It depends on the princess’s taste.”
Because of his reputation, many luthiers were afraid of losing face and did not dare to come to him to cut the qin. After all, it was one thing to be humble, but it was another thing to be rejected by Ouyang Ku.
However, those who dare to come to visit are more or less capable. It seems that today I can listen to a pretty good song.
Attitude is attitude, but Ouyang Ku has his own standards for whether to play the piano or not, otherwise he would not have his current status.
"Master Ouyang is welcome, please!"
After the words fell, another waiter hurried in and whispered a few words in Ouyang Ku's ear.
Ouyang Kun couldn't help but raise his brows, "What a coincidence. We haven't had any guests for a few days, but today we have two guests. Princess Qianyu and Mr. Li Yang also brought a piano player to visit. They didn't mind, so they How about sipping my snow-topped tea together?"
Jing Qianyu looked at Lu Zheng and saw that Lu Zheng was doing everything he could, so Jing Qianyu nodded, "It's up to you to do whatever you want, of course we don't mind."
Ouyang Kun nodded and asked the waiter to lead the guests directly to the backyard, while he took Lu Zheng and his party to leave first.
…
After a while, Lu Zheng saw Jing Taihua, the young master of Liyang, and the piano player he brought with him, Yue Ziyan, the Zhiyang Taoist piano master.
"Princess Qianyu."
"Young Master Taihua."
The relationship between King Lingwu and Duke Li Yang is not very close, but Jing Qianyu and Jing Taihua are both from the royal family and they still know each other.
Then Lu Zheng noticed that Yue Ziyan looked at him with inexplicable hostility.
"I wonder where Mr. Lu is from and who he studied under?" Yue Ziyan asked.
"The Lingbei Taoist family has never learned from anyone, just Ye Luzi." Lu Zheng said.
"To be able to catch the eyes of the little princess of King Lingwu is not to be called a wild person!"
Yue Ziyan chuckled and said, "Then Yue will wait a while to greet Mr. Lu's music."
Lu Zheng rubbed his chin, wondering why Yue Ziyan would target him.
"I know the purpose of your visit." Ouyang Ku picked up the Yuebaijiao porcelain cup next to him and took a sip of Western Region Snow Top Tea. The bitter tea had a refreshing fragrance, which was evocative.
"And you must also know my rules." Ouyang Ku said calmly, "I haven't cut the piano in person for more than nine years, and in March, it will be another ten years.
Although you came a little early, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I have already come out of seclusion, and I have already studied what needs to be studied. "
Lu Zheng blinked and looked at Jing Qianyu.
Ten years? What ten-year period?
Jing Qianyu also blinked and slapped his forehead fiercely, "Is the ten-year period coming soon?"
After reacting, Jing Qianyu hurriedly said to Lu Zheng, "Master Ouyang has a rule. Unless the luthier's music sounds to his liking, he will also pick up a qin every ten years to verify the results of his ten years of study. art.
This piano is mainly to verify Master Ouyang's own Tao, and the conditions will be relaxed, so many violinists will come to visit at this time, hoping to defeat other violinists and get Master Ouyang's new piano. "
"Is there still such a rule?"
Lu Zheng raised his eyebrows and knew why Yue Ziyan was hostile to him. He regarded himself as a competitor.
However, Lu Zheng's performance made Ouyang Ku and Jing Taihua look sideways.
Don't you know this?
Are you really prepared to let Ouyang play the piano based on your strength?
You know, Ouyang Ku has been famous for fifty years, and only three people have allowed him to play the piano based on his true skills!
No matter which one of these three people is taken out, they are all the top luthiers in the world today!
Some people have even said that if nothing unexpected happens, there will be no other luthier in the world worthy of the piano played by Master Ouyang Ku.
"laugh--"
However, Yue Ziyan sneered, curled up the corner of his mouth, nodded clearly and said, "Master Lu, as a piano master, comes to Ku Cha Zhai, but he doesn't understand Master Ouyang's rules. Yue admires him."
Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes, there was something in his words!
He said it was admiration, but in fact it was ridicule. It was clear that Lu Zheng was being clever and using psychological tactics.
Jing Taihua's eyes flashed, and he looked at Lu Zheng with a slightly strange look.
But Ouyang Ku didn't care at all. Listening to the piano is of course a very subjective thing, but he is not deaf, so how could he be psychologically suggestive because of some small tricks?
"The sun is shining right now. I wonder which of the two of you will play the piano first?" Ouyang Ku asked.
"I'll do it." Yue Ziyan said immediately.
As the saying goes, preconceptions prevail. After many people have heard or watched many similar things, when the overall quality is not much different, they will always feel that the first thing they hear or see is the best.
Although Yue Ziyan thought that Lu Zheng was playing tricks, since the other party dared to enter Kucha Zhai, he must have had his wits about him, and Yue Ziyan would certainly not be careless.
In that case, I'll go first!
"please!"
Ouyang Ku made a gesture of invitation, and the servant who had been following Yue Ziyan took off the Yao Qin on his back, opened the box, and placed the Yao Qin on the table in front of Yue Ziyan.
"Flying Leaf Qin?"
"It is the Flying Leaf Qin, made by Master Lin Xuecheng under the Ku Cha Zhai sect."
Ouyang Ku nodded with satisfaction, "It is indeed Xuecheng's handiwork. It seems that it has made some progress in the past few years."
Yue Ziyan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and played the song "Yangguan Wild Goose Flying Nine Turns Back".
Standing at Yangguan on the Zhiyang Road, the mountains are nine-locked and difficult for birds to cross, the wind is rushing and clouds are rising in chaos, and the geese are flying in all directions nine times.
The whole song has climaxes and twists and turns. Even in Lu Zheng's opinion, it is not inferior to many famous ancient songs in the history of Blue Star.
only……
Lu Zheng glanced at Yue Ziyan. Although his skills were perfect, his emotions were unfortunately not full enough. Although he had tried hard to integrate, maybe his skills were still slightly lacking, he didn't integrate enough, or the performance was not realistic enough.
However, Ouyang Ku still nodded, indicating that he played well, but had no other expression.
Then, everyone focused their attention on Lu Zheng.
The next moment, Lu Zheng smiled slightly, patted the gourd on his waist, and the Phoenix Tail Qin appeared on the table in front of him.
Ouyang Ku's eyes flashed and he frowned slightly.
Yue Ziyan was startled at first, and then quickly calmed down. Then when he saw Feng Wei Qin, he couldn't help showing a trace of sneer.
