Chapter 512 I suffered a little loss and got them all together
Chu Pingsheng said: "What's so rude? She is a dancing prostitute. Her professional ethics is to please her sponsors with singing and dancing. Wang Shangshu is hosting a banquet today. She must please me as a guest, then she must satisfy me. Now that I don’t like this piece of music, why should I stop it in the middle? Is it possible that if I don’t like it, I still pretend to like it, torment myself, and please me? Is the host called polite? Rather than hypocritical pandering, I think sincerity is the basic principle of the host-guest relationship."
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "You don't know yet, Miss Xiufang. It's not something that ordinary people can ask for. If she doesn't want to, no one, no matter how powerful or wealthy, can make her submit."
"She can refuse to perform, but since she has come to the palace, she will wait to establish a contract. It is the professional ethics of a kabuki prostitute to serve the emotions of the host and the guests. My request is not excessive. I just want her to suffer a little grievance. Is there a problem? If she can't bear the grievance at all, she doesn't have to do this business. "
To everyone's surprise, the girl who was offended by Young Master Chai bowed her head and said softly: "Since this song has ruined Young Master's interest, let's change it to another one, Mr. Lei... …”
When the musician was about to respond, Chu Pingsheng said first: "I have a song that is very suitable for the dance that the girl interrupted. How about I continue the zheng and the girl continues the dance."
"Young Master, are you sure?"
This was not the first time that Shang Xiufang encountered a family member who was doing everything in front of her. She was not too surprised, because the final result of those people was to be disgraced and return in despair.
You must know that her title of the most talented woman in the world is not for nothing.
Shuanglong didn’t understand Shang Xiufang’s talent. Rong Fengxiang, the president of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, knew it very well. He laughed and said: “Since Mr. Chai is so elegant, we might as well listen attentively and enjoy the good news together.”
Wang Shichong and Wang Xuanying also looked at each other, with sneers hidden in their eyes. They were independent in front of Shang Xiufang. There are hundreds of young masters from aristocratic families who are doing everything in their power. Chai Shao? The business may be good, but playing music? Isn't that self-humiliating?
Shang Xiufang sighed and waved to the musician. The man stood up and stepped aside, looking at Chu Pingsheng's back with a hint of contempt.
“Let’s get started.”
Chu Pingsheng put his hand on the string without any intention of showing off his skills, and just played it casually.
Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding...
Ding ding dong ding ding...
In just a few breaths, the expressions of Wang Shichong and his son changed, not only because Chai Shao played the guzheng well, but also because they had never heard of this piece of music.
Luoyang was the capital of the Sui Dynasty, the center of rites and music. Most popular songs first became popular here and then spread to other places. However, they had never heard of the music played by Chai Shao.
Shang Xiufang was stunned.
This song... is nice.
At the end of the prelude, Chu Pingsheng looked at the guzheng and sang casually: "Green bricks are accompanied by tile paint, and white horses tread new mud."
"Mountain flowers and banana leaves are clustered in the dusk, dyed with red scarves."
" Raindrops are falling from the eaves, and smoke is rising from the kitchen. "
"Wandering around, where are you?"
"Looking and searching, it's deserted."
"The moon falls, the crow crows, and the crescent moon falls into the lonely well."
"Little bits and pieces, bit by bit."
"There are flowers in the dream and green grass in the dream."
At this point, he suddenly stopped and looked at the absent-minded woman in front of him with a look of displeasure on his face: "What are you doing standing there? Dance."
The fashionable beauty finally came to her senses and hurriedly turned her waist and showed off her style. Cloud sleeves dance lightly to the melody.
"Long hair makes ripples, and white cloth spreads over the rocks."
"The kappa swings a long boat on poles to cross the ancient times."
He plays the kite and sings in a low voice, relaxed and freehand.
She danced slowly and gracefully, but for Lei Qin, the accompanying musician, something was obviously wrong. Shang Xiufang's heart was confused. It was a kind of falling into someone else's melody, such as Like a puppet, it has lost its spirituality and even the dance of its soul.
This art form is called backup dancing. As a backup dancer in the past, Shang Xiufang was always the focus of the audience, with eyes wide open. However, this time, she was really just a backup dancer.
The most talented woman in the world actually became Chai Shao's foil.
Shang Xiufang herself knew something was wrong, but it didn't matter. She was very happy to be the green leaf dancing with this song. From being involved in the world to being a singing and dancing prostitute, didn't she just want to go one step further? Looking back on the past, no one's piano music could surprise her.
To put it bluntly, the music played by Chai Shao and the lyrics of the music are indeed much better than what she did.
"Where are you, wandering around..."
After finishing the song, Chu Pingsheng moved his fingers away, and the lingering sound lingered several times before it subsided.
Shang Xiufang also retracted her jade arms, pulled up the ribbon, panted slightly and walked to Chu Pingsheng. Her beautiful eyebrows stretched and her beautiful eyes smiled: "Excuse me, sir, what is the name of this song?"
"Slow voice."< br>
"The voice is slow, the voice is slow..." Shang Xiufang murmured a few words, looking forward to the glory, and smiling as brightly as a spring peach: "Young master is good at playing the piano."
Wang Shichong and his son were quite speechless.
They have never heard that the Chai family has such talent.
Kou Zhong looked unhappy, and felt a sense of loss in his heart, as if... he had lost something important.
Rong Fengxiang's face was gloomy, but his daughter's eyes were filled with excitement. She looked with great interest at Mr. Chai who was playing Miss Li San around. She felt that the rumors outside were wrong. This man was interesting. Very. In fact, there is a woman behind the screen where Wang Shichong is sitting - the other beauty of Luoyang Shuangyan, who is also Wang Shichong's niece Dong Shuni.
Originally she wanted to sit down, but Wang Shichong refused to let her go. Even if he asked "Rong Jiaojiao can do it, why can't I?", her uncle, who had always doted on her, would not let her go. Let go.
Just now she took a look at the edge of the screen and knew that it was Chai Shao playing the piano.
The music was indeed nice, but so what, she didn't like the things that Kou Zhong didn't like either.
"Master Shangshu, Xiufang will not disturb you and your distinguished guest, and will leave."
Shang Xiufang walked up to Wang Shichong, bowed and resigned.
“Xuan Ying, send someone to send Miss Shang back.”
“Yes.”
Shang Xiufang walked up to Chu Pingsheng again: "Xiufang will go first. In the years to come, the Manqing Courtyard will be empty and waiting. I hope that the young master will go there at his convenience to learn piano skills and have fun together."
< br>"Okay."
Chu Pingsheng nodded in agreement and returned the gift.
Shang Xiufang smiled at him, left the hall with Lei Qin, and walked towards the door of the mansion under the guidance of the servants.
Chu Pingsheng was not surprised that there would be such a development. Shang Xiufang's lyrics and music followed the characteristics of the Southern Dynasties, which were soft and delicate, lifeless, while the pursuit of Tang poetry was a kind of beauty, so that there were paintings in the poems and paintings in the paintings. In the realm of sentience, although it is not the prosperous Tang Dynasty yet, it is the late Sui Dynasty, but this change in the trend has already appeared.
At this time, he adapted an ancient song and played it on the guzheng. In the eyes of a musically gifted girl like Shang Xiufang, from the song to the lyrics, it was naturally full of novelty and talent. How could he not be shocked and like it?
As for arrogance and rudeness, which talented person doesn’t have a little temper? Isn't she a good example herself?
"My nephew, I didn't expect you to learn good piano skills."
When Chu Pingsheng came back and sat down next to him, Wang Shichong said kindly.
“It’s just a daily pastime.”
Kou Zhong pouted and whispered: "Master Ling, look how proud he is."
Xu Ziling patted his good brother on the shoulder: "Master Zhong, have you fallen in love with the girl just now?"
>
"Hey, how is that possible? Don't talk nonsense. I just can't stand her. She keeps saying that she wants to marry Xiuning, but secretly she is hooking up with this one and ogling that one. She is a gangster."
While the two brothers were whispering to each other, Wang Shichong said seriously: "Today I invited Mr. Rong to my house to make him a witness. Can my nephew put down his hatred with Gao Zhong and Xu Ziling for my sake, and turn the hostility into friendship? ?”
Chu Pingsheng said in a nonchalant manner: “Uncle Shi, is this what you call a major event that will affect the future of the Chai family?”
Kou Zhong heard the implication of his words, picked up the wine glass and drank hard.
“Chai Shao, do you look down on us?”
Xu Ziling’s face was as dark as water and he remained silent.
“Ahem.” Wang Shichong coughed lightly and said, “My nephew, I’ve heard about you and the third lady of the Li family. It’s true that you can’t be sweet. Even if you marry into the Chai Mansion in the future, she will If I don't agree with you, I'm afraid my life will be uncomfortable. I think it's better to reject this marriage and I will marry my niece Shuni to you. "
How about this? As soon as they came out, Rong Fengxiang and his daughter, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were all shocked. They never thought that Wang Shichong would play like this.
It is indeed a major event that can affect the future of the Chai family.
"You have also seen Miss Jiaojiao's appearance. My niece and Miss Jiaojiao are known as the two beauties of Luoyang, as good as Miss Li's."
"Uncle, I don't want it!" "
Dong Shuni, who was hiding behind the screen, couldn't suppress her inner emotions and rushed to the hall to object loudly: "I don't want to marry him"
"Shuni!"< br>
Wang Xuanying walked over and grabbed her wrist: "Why did you run out?"
"Cousin, you actually..."
"Dad is also doing it for your own good."
< br>"But I don't want to."
Dong Shuni was very excited, her bra embroidered with thunder patterns and star patterns kept rising and falling, her teeth were lightly grinding, her red lips were spread wide, and her pink fists were tight Hold.
An angry face is generally unattractive, but the combination of those mysterious eyebrows, the slightly raised corners of the eyes, the straight nose, and the bangs that move with the breathing fully explains what it means to be angry and happy. ", even Chu Pingsheng was complaining in his heart, how could such an ugly guy like Wang Shichong give birth to such a beautiful daughter? It's really off the mark.
"Huh." Wang Shichong snorted coldly: "My parents ordered me to match the matchmaker. I have asked your parents for their opinions on this matter. They have given me full power to make the decision. How can you stop it if you don't agree?" ?”
“Uncle...”
“It can be said that I grew up watching Chai Shao. He is well-educated and talented. His father is also the Duke of Julu. His family is rich and wealthy. But the enemy country. Did you hear the song just now? Even the arrogant and talented girls like Miss Xiufang admire you. If you can marry into Chai Mansion, it will be a blessing that has been cultivated in eight lifetimes. "
Wang Shichong turned to look at Shuanglong: "Kou Zhong, Xu Ziling, do you think I am right?"
