Three Kingdoms: From Hulaoguan to Global Hegemony

Chapter 448

"Ding, Zhuge Jin, strength 45, command 75, resourcefulness 86, mind 91, friendliness 80."

He has a strong ability in internal affairs and is very disgusted with the recommendation system, so he can be nurtured and cultivated. In the future, he will be responsible for the proposal and promotion of the imperial examination system.

Thinking of this, Liu Yu was afraid that something might happen, so he asked Zhuge Jin where he lived now.

"Where does Tzuyu live now?"

"I came down to Luoyang just to attend tonight's rally, and didn't book a post in the city."

The consumption in Luoyang city is so high, and the poor family did not recommend it. Many people who came late had to pay a lot of money to enter the Wenchang Palace.

Zhuge Jin was not rich at all, so he had no money to book a room after entering Wenchang Pavilion.

"That's fine, since Ziyu hasn't booked a room, let's take a stroll in Wenchang Palace first, and I'll arrange a place for you when I get back."

Seeing his embarrassment, Liu Yu thought he might as well let him stay at Xu Shu's house temporarily, so that he would not be afraid of him leaving without saying goodbye.

Hearing that Liu Yu had solved the problem of accommodation for her again, Zhuge Jin was very grateful, thinking that if she could really stay in Luoyang as an official, she would definitely repay this Mr. Wendao well in the future.

…………

Not all the disciples from the poor family are unrecognized talents, meeting a Zhuge Jin is already beyond Liu Yu's expectations.

After looking here for a while, I found that there were no talents worth recruiting, so I went to Chunlan Hall to watch the performance at Dong Bai's suggestion.

The scene in Chunlan Hall is much more upscale than that in Dongmei Hall.

There is no crowded crowd like a busy city, and there is no talent recruitment like a formality. Almost all the people here are well-dressed, and they are the children of wealthy families. .

Thinking about it, this poor person can't even guarantee two meals a day, so how can he have the leisure to engage in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

After all, most of the so-called art can only be played by the rich.

As soon as Liu Yu came in, Wang Kai was already waiting in front of the hall.

"Meet...you two."

Wang Kai didn't dare to say anything, and quickly pointed to the two sides of the hall.

"The villain has prepared a private room for the two of you, please come and have some cakes and rest for a while."

Tonight, Du Kui, the master of Luoyang temperament, will play a new song. Those private rooms are prepared for officials who like this place.

Liu Yu came here just for fun and didn't want to arouse other people's ideas, so he nodded in agreement.

The road to Yajian was very quiet, but Zhuge Jin who was following behind them was shocked again.

Before he heard that this Wang Kai was a celebrity in Situ's mansion, he thought he was just talking politely just now, but he didn't expect to actually prepare a private room for the Wendao couple, and judging by the location, it seemed to be at the front of.

After the three of them entered the private room, Wang Kai withdrew. At this time, Liu Yu found Cai Yan's figure along the window.

Originally, he wanted to ask Cai Yan to come in and watch it together, but he found that Cai Yan and Huangfuying were too far away, so he had to give up in order not to arouse other people's ideas.

Not long after, under the warm welcome of everyone, Yalelang Du Kui walked onto the stage holding the guqin.

Du Kui, courtesy name Gongliang, was born in Henan. He was good at temperament, was extremely intelligent, and was very proficient in various musical instruments such as orchestras. He was then Yalelang.

"Recently, I came across a copy of Guangling San, and I will play it for everyone to taste."

Du Kui didn't talk much, but when he talked about this song, he showed a proud face, obviously this is his proud work.

Putting the Guqin on, Du Kui sat down gracefully, stroked the strings a few times, felt that the pitch was correct, and began to play.

When the song was over, everyone applauded.

"This song is sometimes melodious, sometimes sad, and it really deserves everyone's work!"

"The melody is beautiful, but it also requires the skill of the player. Du Lelang's qin skills are unparalleled in the world. I was lucky enough to listen to the great Confucian Cai Yong play the qin. The tone is bleak, which is much inferior to Du Lelang's impassioned. "

This person was obviously trying to curry favor with Du Kui, and he said all his praises, and Du Kui on the stage was also very happy when he heard it.

But if you want to praise Du Kui, just praise him directly. If you have to use Cai Yong for comparison, this is how the daughter Cai Yan will be happy when she hears it, so she went out to question that person.

"The level of piano skills can also be judged by simply listening to it. You must know that each performer has a different mentality and technique when playing different types of music. How can you judge that the piano skills are not as good because of the different styles of music?"

What Cai Yan said was reasonable and well-founded, but the man was speechless on the spot. He only asked Du Kui to do something, so he came to join him. In fact, he didn't know any rhythm.

When Du Kui saw his people being taught a lesson, he felt that his face was dull, and he felt a little dissatisfied.

"The girl seems to know the rhythm quite well, so don't argue with an unknown person. If you have real skills, why not go on stage and compete."

Du Kui is proud, especially in the field he is good at, and does not allow others to question him, while Cai Yan is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, and stepped onto the stage without fear.

"Sir, the majestic atmosphere of Guangling San is really admirable, but the little girl also has a song here. Not only is the melody melodious, the style of the song is even more novel and special, and it also has lyrics that are very suitable for the occasion. Please appreciate it."

"Oh! Can you create a new style of music? You must know that I have worked hard for dozens of years and never dared to say that I have innovated in the style of music. You, a little girl, have a serious tone!"

Du Kui smiled contemptuously. In his opinion, what kind of novel style can a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old make.

Everyone also had the same mentality as Du Kui, so when Cai Yan finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

"Whose girl dares to talk about innovation in front of Du Lelang at this time, isn't she playing tricks!"

"Yeah, she looks like a delicate young lady from a rich family, she may be a bit superficial and think that she has outstanding piano skills and is comparable to a master! Haha..."

Everyone's ridicule made Cai Yan a little bit embarrassed, and Huangfu Ying, who came with her, wanted to stand up for her, but she had no idea about the rhythm, and she didn't know where to help.

Suddenly a loud voice suppressed the laughter of the audience.

"Haven't listened to it before, so I'm going to draw conclusions ahead of time. Isn't it too arbitrary? Du Lelang's Guangling San can be said to be a masterpiece through the ages, but I believe that the song that this girl will play later will definitely refresh your ears."

"Well, let me make a bet with you, if this girl's song is not novel enough, I would like to pay each of you [-] copper coins. If the song this girl will play later is a new type of music that has never been seen before, Then everyone should apologize to her on the spot!"

When Cai Yan said that the song he was going to play was accompanied by lyrics appropriate to the occasion, Liu Yu had already guessed what Cai Yan was going to play, so he was very sure of winning the bet.

But Gale Lang Du Kui on the stage didn't think so. Innovation is not easy. In addition to talent, it also requires a lot of life experience to be possible.

"I have been immersed in this way for decades, and I really don't believe that a young woman can create innovative songs, I bet you!"
