Chapter 992: Playing, Meeting the Officials, Queen Liu Wan

Because Song Yinzhang left the country easily, Zhang Haohao, who knew that Song Yinzhang and the others had the support of noble people, treated Song Yinzhang even better, and often went to Zhao Paner and the others to get closer, pretending to be close.

Zhao Pan'er was such a smart person and quickly noticed Zhang Haohao's abnormality. After thinking about it for a moment, he understood why Zhang Haohao was like this.

But she was not disgusted. She had also been in the Jiaofang Department before, so she could understand Zhang Haohao's thoughts.

Zhang Haohao is famous all over Tokyo. In fact, she admires her very much. She can sing to this extent with her own voice. Zhang Haohao is definitely a strange woman.

Therefore, Zhao Paner has a feeling of sympathy for Zhang Haohao, and will not refuse Zhang Haohao's closeness.

Zhang Haohao and Song Yinzhang performed extremely well in Jiaofangsi's July performance, overwhelming all the prostitutes. Soon after, the official issued an imperial edict for Zhang Haohao to perform at Xiao Qinyan's birthday banquet next month. Put on a show.

Although Song Yinzhang is no longer an official prostitute, she has a deep pursuit of Pipa and is naturally unwilling to give up this opportunity to improve herself.

"Master Hou, you gave me the Liangzhou Daban. I have practiced it to 70-80% in the past few days. I can play it to you, Master Hou."

When Zhou Chen came to Anyefang Mansion again, Song Yinzhang excitedly told Zhou Chen about his results and wanted Zhou Chen to listen.

Zhou Chen did not refuse. He remembered that there seemed to be a similar scene in the TV series, but he was the male protagonist.

However, Song Yinzhang's performance in the plot is a complete mess. This ancient song is a famous song outside the Great Wall. It talks about the happy drinking of soldiers before going to war. This ancient song should be impassioned and hearty.

As a result, Song Yinzhang based on his own understanding, played this ancient song into a child's joyful, gentle and graceful mood.

The artistic conception of a piece of music has changed, and what comes out is naturally different.

People who are not good at pipa music may not be able to hear anything, but people who are good at pipa music can easily hear the problem.

They said they were playing it to Zhou Chen, but Song Yinzhang also called Sun Sanniang and Yin Ping over. However, the Ge Zhaodi who appeared in the TV series has not appeared until now, perhaps because the plot has changed.

After everyone was seated, Song Yinzhang adjusted his Guyue Pipa and started playing.

Zhou Chen had already watched this pipa song in Liangzhou several times when he got it.

How should I put it? Based on his understanding and experience of music and rhythm, this Liangzhou song is overall very good. However, due to issues of artistic conception and environment, this piece has some flaws, but it is excellent. The flaws are covered up, so this is a very good pipa piece.

But it is not that easy to play the song Liangzhou well, especially for a simple girl like Song Yinzhang who has too little experience. It is even less easy to play the song Liangzhou Daben well.

In the plot, Song Yinzhang excelled at Xiao Qinyan's birthday banquet for the second time, and was highly praised by Ke Zheng;

But now, Song Yinzhang has not experienced those nasty and painful things, so it is really hard to say whether he can play this Liangzhou Daben well.

As the pipa played, Zhou Chen slowly closed his eyes. Although he didn't have high expectations for Song Yinzhang, he still had to listen carefully.

The prelude was pretty good, but as soon as the prelude ended, Zhou Chen frowned.

Sure enough, Song Yinzhang still didn't really understand the Liangzhou song. He only understood and played it based on the music and his own ideas, without involving himself in the music at all.

Just play, not blend in.

Sun Sanniang and Yin Ping were laymen. They only knew how nice it sounded but didn't understand its meaning at all, so they listened to it with gusto.

Zhao Pan'er, on the other hand, frowned slightly and glanced at Song Yinzhang, who was playing to his heart's content. He didn't say anything, but just followed the beat and listened.

She once also worked in the Jiaofang Department. Although she is not as religious as Song Yinzhang about pipa, she also understands music theory and has also read this Liangzhou song.

Song Yinzhang did not make any mistakes, but he failed to express the true meaning of this ancient song.

Soon, the song ended. Song Yinzhang picked up the pipa and said to Zhou Chen happily: "Master Hou, please give me your review."

Zhou Chen stood up, looked at her deeply, said nothing, just walked up to her and stretched out his hand.

Song Yinzhang didn't know why, but Zhao Pan'er responded quickly.

"Introduction to the chapter, Pipa."

Only then did Song Yinzhang react. He quickly held the pipa with both hands and handed it to Zhou Chen.

This Lone Moon Pipa was her true love. She would take it with her wherever she went. It was like her second life. She was usually reluctant to let others touch it, but she handed it to Zhou Chen without hesitation, showing that she was deeply attached to it. Zhou Chen has unconditional trust.

Zhou Chen took the pipa from her and said softly: "I'll play it once, and you can listen."

Hearing Zhou Chen's words, the women present were surprised. They didn't know that Zhou Chen would actually do such a thing.

Is this for teaching?

Although Song Yinzhang felt strange, she walked away obediently and gave up her position to Zhou Chen. However, she did not leave and stood on Zhou Chen's side.

Zhou Chen took the pipa and played with it a few times. After trying it, his face straightened.

"clang……"

At first, neither Sun Sanniang nor Yin Ping responded, but the expressions of Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang changed.

As Zhou Chen played, Song Yinzhang's face kept changing, becoming whiter and whiter, and his eyes revealed an incredible light.

Even Zhao Pan'er was shocked. During the recent time together, she felt that she had learned a lot about Zhou Chen, but Zhou Chen's pipa skills really shocked her.

Wasn't Zhou Chen born in the Marquis Palace of Military Generals?

Although Zhou Chen was a Jinshi in high school, could write good poems, and had excellent literary talent, she never expected that Zhou Chen could also play the pipa, and he could play it so well.

She didn't know what it means to be versatile in both civil and military affairs before, but at this moment, she knew that the man she was interested in was a versatile person in both civil and military affairs, and he was also the best among them.

After the song ended, Zhou Chen put down the pipa.

"Do you feel it?"

Song Yinzhang looked pale and at a loss.

"Master Hou, I, I..."

Not to mention her, even Sun Sanniang and Yin Ping, who didn't understand music, heard the difference. It was obviously the same piece of music. Song Yinzhang sounded good when he played it, but when Zhou Chen played it, he was impassioned and fierce. They are women, and they also have the impulsiveness to make their blood boil and roar.

Zhao Pan'er immediately stood up and comforted Song Yinzhang: "Yinzhang, you just got this ancient piece not long ago, so your playing is slightly inferior to that of Mr. Hou. Just practice more and it will be fine."

But Song Yinzhang is a master of pipa. Compared with the two, he is not inferior at all. He is simply inferior to the extreme and cannot be compared with Zhou Chen.

In one of her best skills, she could not compare with Zhou Chen, a Marquis who had never played the pipa before. It was a huge blow to her.

"Sister Pan'er, you don't need to comfort me, I can tell how bad I am myself."

After saying that, she bowed deeply to Zhou Chen again.

"Master Marquis, I'm sorry. You gave me this ancient song, but I played it like this. I really failed to live up to your expectations. I, I am so useless."

"Yinzhang, don't think so. This is not entirely your problem."

Zhao Pan'er hurriedly comforted Song Yinzhang, and then kept winking at Zhou Chen, trying to comfort Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen nodded towards Zhao Pan'er, and then said to Song Yinzhang: "This Liangzhou Daban is a famous song outside the Great Wall. It is very different from the ordinary pipa song. This song talks about the warriors drinking happily at the feast before going to war. , this song should be impassioned and impassioned.”

"And you just played it too much like a little girl, which is contrary to the artistic conception of this piece. If you play this piece with such a mentality, you will naturally not be able to express its artistic conception, so it sounds okay, but A knowledgeable person will be able to detect the problem as soon as they hear it. If you want to perform this Liangzhou Dabian at this level, you are really insulting this ancient song."

He said it very tactfully, but the last sentence was a little stronger.

But even so, Song Yinzhang, who was already weak-minded, had red eyes. She was not feeling uncomfortable because of what Zhou Chen said, but she felt that she was too bad and was sorry for Zhou Chen's gift of ancient music.

Zhao Pan'er quickly smoothed things over: "Then tell me, how should Yin Zhang change now?"

Zhou Chen said: "She can't understand the mood of a soldier before going to the battlefield, nor can she understand the joy of drinking freely between men, so the best way is to let her think about it for herself. Fighting and iron horses are murderous, not the love between children; You can imagine how you will feel when your beloved man goes to the battlefield, how you will feel when your man is killed by the enemy and you want to avenge your beloved man."

"If you can't relate to this, then think about your own experience. Why are others born noble, and you have to stay in Jiaofangsi since childhood? Why do others meet all good men, romantic talents, and you Everyone you meet is a liar; vent your unwillingness and anger, use your pipa as a sword, and stab them out fiercely."

"If you can't appreciate the impassioned and impassioned momentum, then turn it into murderous aura and vent the repression in your heart..."

Because Song Yinzhang didn't have the same experience as in the plot, Zhou Chen didn't know how to make her understand. He could only explain it to her according to his own ideas. As for whether it would work, he was not sure.

But whether it can be done or not, it is actually not very important. If Song Yinzhang is as skilled as the original work, it will be a good thing. If not, it is not a bad thing.

In the plot, Song Yinzhang became arrogant, arrogant and arrogant because he was in the limelight once. So if he can't be in the limelight, it's really not a bad thing.

…………

Zhou Chen followed Chamberlain Cui straight to Chui Gong Hall. On the way, Zhou Chen asked Chamberlain Cui in a low voice.

"Minister Cui, do you know why the officials are so eager to recruit me into the palace?"

Cui's servant kept walking and said quickly: "I'm sorry, Marquis Zhongyong, I really don't know about this matter, but besides the officials, there are also saints."

The saint is the queen. After hearing this, Zhou Chen frowned slightly. Did that old guy Xiao Qinyan tell the queen about their conspiracy?

But he quickly rejected it. Xiao Qinyan is an old fox. The two of them only have a verbal agreement now. Moreover, Xiao Qinyan is an ambitious person. Although he is a queen, he and the queen are of the same mind. , that’s not necessarily the case.

Therefore, Xiao Qinyan could not trust the queen wholeheartedly, and would rather use each other.

"Thank you, Ms. Cui."

Zhou Chen thanked him, and Chamberlain Cui was also very polite. He wanted to make friends with Zhou Chen, a new member of the court, and never wanted to offend him.

Soon they arrived at Chui Gong Hall. After reporting, Zhou Chen walked into Chui Gong Hall.

"I see the official, he is a sage."

"Get up, Zhou Qing."

Zhou Chen stood up slowly, faced forward, and saw the official Zhao Heng and the queen Liu Wan.

This is the first time Zhou Chen has officially met Queen Liu Wan. Liu Wan looks much younger than Zhao Heng. She is less than forty years old. She has a beautiful appearance, graceful and elegant appearance, and holds her head high, giving people a Extremely arrogant and arrogant.

This is fictional history, so Empress Liu's name was Liu Wan, but the name was changed, but the general trend remained the same. After the death of official Zhao Heng, the empress would listen to politics behind the curtain for more than ten years, which can be said to be the most important in the history of the Song Dynasty. A famous queen.

There is such a comment to evaluate her: She has Lu Wu's talents but not Lu Wu's evil.

Of course, this is the evaluation of Empress Liu in official history, but judging from the TV plot of Menghualu that Zhou Chen watched, the character of Empress Liu Wan is really different from that of Empress Liu in official history. Too far.

Zhao Heng treated Zhou Chen very well, and said in a kind tone: "Zhou Qing, I called you here today because I have something to do."

Zhou Chen immediately replied: "Please give me your orders, officials. I will do my best."

"Well, Zhou Qing must have heard about the hat demon that has caused trouble in the capital recently, right?"

"Of course I have heard about it, but the hat demon thing is strange. Originally, I was just out of town. I didn't expect that now I dare to come to the capital to do evil. It is really a heinous crime."

Zhao Heng said with great agreement: "You are right. Although I believe in Taoism, it does not mean that I am ignorant. The hat demon must have been caused by someone who made trouble and did it deliberately."

Over the years, he has vigorously promoted Taoism for his own sake, and the case of the hat demon was obviously deliberately caused by someone who took advantage of his belief in Taoism.

How could the emperor who had been emperor for more than 20 years not see this kind of strategy, so he never took it seriously.

But who would have thought that the hat demon case would dare to make trouble in Tokyo? What's even more disgusting is that it has been so long and the case has not been solved yet, which makes him very dissatisfied.

"I ordered the Imperial City Division to investigate this matter, but nothing has been gained, which makes me very disappointed. Now this hat demon is making trouble again and again, which is really abominable, so I want you to investigate. The Imperial City Division is investigating in the open, and you are here Investigate in secret and do our best to investigate this matter."

Zhou Chen did not hesitate at all: "I will obey the holy order and will do my best to investigate the hat demon case."

"very good."

Zhao Heng nodded with satisfaction. He was very satisfied with Zhou Chen, a young nobleman. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for Zhou Chen to serve as the deputy commander of the bodyguard and horse army. This was his bodyguard.

At this moment, Queen Liu Wan suddenly said: "Guan family, I have long heard that Zhou Qing is a rare young hero in the world. When we saw the young general of the Song Dynasty today, I did not disappoint. He is really full of energy and majestic appearance.”

Although Zhou Chen didn't understand why Liu Wan suddenly praised him, he still saluted very respectfully: "Thank you for the saint's praise. I am ashamed to deserve it."
