Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 432 What Song Is This? !

Li Guinian was a famous musician during the Kaiyuan period. He was not only good at playing, but also proficient in singing and composing music.

The emperor also liked Li Guinian very much, and invited him to play in the palace many times.

The officials and nobles in the imperial court were also honored to invite Li Guinian to play.

Li Guinian was the most famous musician in the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Su Nuan said that she was Li Guinian's disciple, and Cheng Ji didn't believe it.

Jiang Gui, the eunuch who escorted the band of musicians and dancers, also looked at Su Nuan and Yu Xiaoxiao.

Rehearsing songs and dances for the emperor to return to Chang'an to celebrate is a big event. The princess specifically explained that she must see the skills of the two musicians and dancers recommended by Shangbo.

Cheng Ji is willing to be the first bird, and Jiang Gui is naturally willing to let her touch the bottom of Su Nuan and Yu Xiaoxiao.

Su Nuan and Yu Xiaoxiao looked at each other and smiled. Artists basically have this kind of mentality, "I am the most beautiful and I am the best in the world", there is not much difference between ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign art.

The two of them had already prepared, and Su Nuan said in a gentle tone:
"It's dusty here, let's go back to Pipa Xing."

Unexpectedly, this Cheng Ji was also arrogant. She was the chief dancer when she was in the princess mansion, and was sought after by the guests of the princess mansion.

Some young scholars were even willing to spend a hundred taels of silver to buy her as a concubine.

But Cheng Ji flatly refused, and took out her treasure box, revealing jewelry worth more than a hundred taels of silver.

These were gifts Cheng Ji got from her performance at the Princess Mansion. Seeing a box of jewels, the scholar who offered to redeem her body could only leave with his face covered in shame.

If Cheng Ji wants to leave the Princess Mansion, she can do it by herself.

But she has been reluctant to leave the princess mansion because she enjoys the feeling of being on stage and being sought after by everyone.

Unexpectedly, Princess Yanguang asked them to come to Chang'an to arrange dance music with two musicians and dancers who came out of nowhere.

This made Cheng Ji feel the humiliation, so it was such a big smell of gunpowder when she arrived in Chang'an.

At this time, the music and dance troupe was at the gate of Fangshi in Anyifang, next to the Zongjie Avenue, this is indeed not a place for performances.

Eunuch Jiang Gui was also a slick person, he immediately said: "Master Su is right, let's go to the pipa shop and perform again."

But I didn't expect this Cheng Ji to be stubborn and stubborn, she said:

"My master said that there are many stories of dancers dancing in the street and musicians singing in the market. Isn't it a beautiful thing to perform at the gate of Anyi Square today?"

Jiang Gui was a little displeased, Cheng Ji was a little too aggressive.

Although Su Nuan and Yu Xiaoxiao looked young, they were also strange people recommended by the envoy who stayed in business.

Nowadays, there are rumors in the princess mansion that this handsome and handsome empress businessman is the princess' guest of honor.

Jiang Gui is the princess's servant, of course he knows this is nonsense.

But the princess's special attitude towards Shang Bo, the servants close to the princess knew, Jiang Gui naturally didn't want to offend such a person.

Jiang Gui was about to cough to stop Cheng Ji from continuing to be aggressive.

Unexpectedly, Yu Xiaoxiao suddenly smiled and said:
"That's right, dancing on the street is also a beautiful thing, Nuan Nuan, can you play?"

Su Nuan also smiled sweetly and said: "What's the problem, the pipa is not far away, wait for me to fetch the pipa."

Now everyone from the Princess Mansion Music and Dance Troupe got out of the carriage one after another and looked at the two of them in surprise.

Anyi Square was originally a square close to the center of Chang'an, and the entrance and exit of Anyi Square also faced the vertical street.

So many beautiful women got out of the car together, which also attracted the attention of the people.

After a while, the music and dance troupe from the Princess Mansion arrived in Chang'an, and the news that they wanted to compete with the owner of a pipa shop in Anyifang spread throughout the entire Anyifang.

Even people from the nearby square ran to the vertical street to watch the excitement.

This kind of thing was indeed often seen in Chang'an City in the prosperous age, but after the war, there was no such grand scene.

A large number of people quickly gathered on the vertical street, and now Cheng Ji felt even more proud.

She thought to herself: "I also said that my aunt Gongsun and Li Guinian's descendants performed in front of so many people, it depends on whether you can show your real skills!"

"If you can't convince the public, I can suggest to the princess that I choreograph the music and dance troupe as a gift to His Majesty Huiluan Chang'an!"

Cheng Ji's pride is also because she is No. 1 in playing and dancing in the Princess House.

Princess Yanguang invited many musicians and dancers who fled Chang'an to serve as instructors, and spent a lot of money and energy to train this music and dance troupe.

Cheng Ji was also the one who studied the hardest. Although she was only a dancer in the Jiaofang Division of Fengxiang Mansion, because of her hard work, she soon became proficient in dancing rhythms, and was ordered by Princess Yanguang to take off her status.

After a while, Su Nuan appeared at the gate of Anyi Fang holding a pipa.

A boy from a street tea shop moved a stool, and the shop assistants and customers from the surrounding shops stood on the side of the street, ready to watch their performance.

Yu Xiaoxiao drew out her sword, and exchanged a glance with Su Nuan who was already hugging the pipa.

"Choke choke!"

Su Nuan plucked the strings of the pipa vigorously, and the pipa made a sound of gold and stone, shaking the whole street.

Cheng Ji, who had studied playing seriously, immediately recognized the extraordinary, this is a master!

And with the plucking of the strings, the sound of killing from the pipa made both Jiang Gui and Cheng Ji tremble.

What the hell is this tune?
In addition to being the lead dancer of the dance troupe, Cheng Ji is also a musician who is proficient in rhythm.

The piece that Su Nuan played was something Cheng Ji had never heard before!
As Su Nuan continued to play, the little pipa actually made people feel a bone-chilling chill!
An oppressive killing intent swept over, and Cheng Ji felt her legs start to tremble.

The other musicians in the music and dance troupe, who are proficient in temperament, felt astonished when they heard Su Nuan's playing.

Can you still play like this here?

Can the tune be turned like this?
What kind of playing technique is this?

And Yu Xiaoxiao, who drew out her long sword, started the sword dance.

The sword dance is like a game of electricity, lingering and returning with the wind.

All I saw was that the shining sword turned into a wandering dragon, dancing continuously in Yu Xiaoxiao's hands!

Cooperating with Su Nuan's oppressive sound of the pipa, the sword dance, which was originally just for fun, actually had a killing spirit.

Moreover, Yu Xiaoxiao traveled all over the country with the eastbound group, and saw blood on her hands.

She killed a lot of bandits along the way, and the murderous aura in the sword dance also made Cheng Ji take a step back.

Could it really be Aunt Gongsun's sword dance!

The onlookers forgot to applaud and were completely immersed in the sound of pipa and the wonderful sword dance.

Yu Xiaoxiao's sword dance is getting faster and faster, and Su Nuan's pipa rhythm is also getting faster and faster.

At the climax of playing, Su Nuan directly pulled out the jade hairpin from her head, and plucked the strings with the jade hairpin.

Su Nuan swayed to the rhythm, and Yuchai plucked the strings faster and faster.

At this time, Cheng Ji only felt that she was standing among thousands of troops, as if she was surrounded by thousands of troops.

The sweat towel in her hand was covered with sweat, and the passionate music shook her soul here and there like waves.

Su Nuan played on Xingtou, and while plucking the strings with the jade hairpin, he hit the body of the pipa with the jade hairpin, making a sound similar to a battlefield drum.

It was obviously a musical instrument, but it produced two sounds of pipa and drum, and as Su Nuan hit the pipa for the last time, the jade hairpin in his hand also broke, making a transparent neighing sound like exhausted jade.

This sound echoed in the crowd along with the sudden stop of the sound of the pipa, and Yu Xiaoxiao also put away her sword at this time.

The song ended and the dance stopped, and everyone at the scene couldn't wake up from the illusion of the battlefield for a long time.

It wasn't until the sound of the broken jade hairpin disappeared that everyone woke up like a dream.

"it is good!"

"Xianle! Xianle!"

"That heroine is good at sword dancing!"

"so perfect!"

"This is the best song I've ever heard!"

"It's shocking! Pipa can play such a piece of music, it's shocking!"

This was the enthusiastic evaluation of a group of young scholars, who looked at Su Nuan and Yu Xiaoxiao with admiring eyes.

Although the people onlookers couldn't tell what is good about the rhythm and dance, they also applauded excitedly.

People in Anyifang have already started to inquire about the location of Su Nuan's Pipa Shop.

Cheng Ji's face was pale, this time she was completely defeated.

Whether the two people in front of them are playing or dancing, they are far above themselves.

It is even higher than the teaching level of those former court musicians and dancers hired by Princess Yanguang!
Cheng Ji Yingying bowed and said: "The two ladies are talented, and the little girl bows down!"

Su Nuan took out a wooden hairpin from her bosom, and tied up her messy hair again.

At this time, everyone saw Su Nuan's face clearly, and they also showed fiery eyes.

Su Nuan's already outstanding face, but because of the intense pipa playing, her cheeks were flushed, now she was even more charming.

After the sword dance, Yu Xiaoxiao's expression remained the same, and she didn't breathe at all. Her heroic appearance was in stark contrast to Su Nuan's charming appearance.

Only then did everyone notice that they were also stunning beauties.

Obviously, she can rely on her appearance for a living, and she has such a terrifying talent!

This still makes people alive!

But in the face of Su Nuan's pipa music and Yu Xiaoxiao's sword dance just now, Cheng Ji has no desire to win at all. God is too unfair!
But as a musician and dancer, Cheng Ji couldn't ignore the wonderful performance just now against her conscience.

Cheng Ji looked up at Su Nuan and asked:

"Master Su, I've never heard this piece before. Is this a newly popular pipa piece in Chang'an?"

Su Nuan and Yu Xiaoxiao looked at each other with a smile and said:
"This is the first time I play this piece in Chang'an. This is the score I wrote."

Cheng Ji was shocked, now she believed that Su Nuan was Li Guinian's disciple.

Cheng Ji asked respectfully: "Master Su, what is the name of this score?"

Su Nuan said loudly: ""House of Flying Daggers"!"
