Sleep well tonight [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 21
It was getting late, and the setting sun spread a large golden afterglow from the sky.
The venue of the competition was the largest theater building in Baitao Town.
Its most special place is to create an underground stage and loft-style auditorium.
The semi-circular bluestone stage sunken inside is surrounded by red cloth, and a string of small white lanterns are pulled up with ropes, which look like stars at night.
The lotus pond surrounds the stage, and the builders followed the characteristics of the landscape of Baitao Town to create a place with empty mountains and swaying water, and several wintersweet trees were planted around it.
The venue has been specially designed so that the sound of performances on the stage can be clearly transmitted to the surroundings.
There are seven musicians sitting on both sides of the stage, and behind each musician there is a servant and a maid.
Lu Qi stayed in the end, and he sat next to Pei Jinxin.
The sky gradually darkened, and the lights of various lanterns, torches, and pearls in the gloomy sky reflected on the stage, setting off the silver glow in the sky.
The stage and auditorium are separated by a small pond.
Opposite the stage is a stepped pavilion, in which the flowers and paintings are all exquisite.
The bottom floor is also the one closest to the stage. There are three referees and some merchants and officials who sponsored the game.
The pavilions on the middle floors also have a wide view, and you can clearly see the stage. These boxes have already been booked.
And the uppermost floor is the ground of the original Baitao Town, surrounded by a crowd of people.
A large group of people in the nearest few rows sat down and looked down. The people behind stood upright and looked down desperately. Even the wind could not blow into the sleeves of those audiences.
Chen Jing reserved a box on the second floor in advance, and stood beside him were Chen Yu and a few people brought by Chen Yu.
They talked and kept an eye on the dynamics on the stage.
As the night darkened, the game kicked off.
Before the competition, other musicians played first, and a group of dancers came onto the stage slowly and danced.
Pei Jinxin was sitting on the back chair at the innermost side of the stage, and his slender fingers touched his shoulders.
Pei Jinxin tilted his head and rubbed his face against the back of his hand, nodded slightly as his hair drooped, and asked the person behind him in a low voice, "Is my suit tonight pretty good?"
Yu Zhiye in the back was wearing black servant clothes, with a thin red belt less than a finger wide binding his figure, making his waist look slimmer and his legs longer.
Yu Zhi Yequ touched Pei Jinxin's face with his fingers, and said truthfully, "You look better."
Pei Jinxin laughed silently: "I remember you like to eat chestnuts. I heard that at night there is a small vendor under the Furong Bridge that makes sugar-fried chestnuts very well. Do you want to try it tonight?"
The maid standing at the side only knew that the good-looking waiter next to him came to replace Xiao Yu'er, and when she saw him talking to the musician in front, she wanted to dissuade him, but after thinking that their voices were not too loud, the guests above couldn't see clearly. People on the inner side, think about it, forget it.
Seeing the two good-looking gentlemen talking in a low voice, she didn't know what they were talking about, so she quietly raised her ears curiously.
The organizers are also quite scheming.
The first musician to appear in the final was He Licheng who played the xun. He faced the expectant eyes of the crowd and blew a fast-paced song "Colorful Clouds Chasing the Moon". As the opening piece, he easily ignited the atmosphere of the final night .
Then one musician after another came on stage, and there were more than one musician who performed better than He Licheng.
The referees are also superb in their speech skills, and their comments are watertight, completely covering up their own tendencies.
Pei Jinxin listened to the music all night, he was the sixth on stage.
Dressed in pale white shirts and trousers, she moved with pale tulle clothes, black hair scattered behind her back like a waterfall, and the hem of the clothes was smudged and dyed like a natural layer of cloud and mountain blue, and there was a clear moon breeze when walking.
"The sixth contestant, Pei Xian, plays the guqin." Pei Jinxin's voice was clear and clear, and his voice reached everyone's ears. "The song I brought today is "Sleep". I wish you a good sleep today."
There was another round of cheers.
Pei Jinxin gently placed the guqin on the bamboo table on the stage.
After sitting down, he lowered his eyes and rubbed his fingers lightly a few times before raising his head and smiling slightly at the crowd watching.
The man sitting on the stage was young and white, with a graceful demeanor. He nodded and lowered his eyebrows, and plucked the strings casually.
The fingertips touch the strings, and the music played is as warm as moonlight.
This is a revised version of "Sleep".
Pei Jinxin changed the tempo of the original song to a slower one, focusing on overtones. Even the more cheerful melody in the original song was slowed down by him. When the piano sound was about to stop, the next note caught up.
In all fairness, this song is not suitable for competition, it does not have the ups and downs that can quickly ignite the enthusiasm of the audience.
Lu Qi sat on one side and listened quietly for a while, then turned his head slightly and asked Yu Zhiye: "Was Pei Xian ready when he came?"
Yu Zhiye lowered his eyes, then raised his eyes to look at Pei Jinxin: "Yes."
"Including preparations for losing?" Lu Qi didn't leave Pei Jinxin's eyes either.
Yu Zhiye glanced back at him, his eyes were calm, but he seemed puzzled by Lu Qi's question.
"Winning or losing is not that important to Pei Xian," Yu Zhiye said lightly, "What he wants is experience, the full experience of life."
Lu Qi recalled Yu Zhiye's words, sat up straight, and chuckled lightly, with a bit of bitterness in his laughter: "He is very brave, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have planned to come tonight... Fortunately, I am lucky to hear this song.”
The revised "Sleep" is more gentle, affectionate and coherent.
Yu Zhiye had listened to Pei Jinxin's song "Sleep" countless times, including the tune after the revision. He was familiar with every shift, but with the help of the stage, it gave him a completely novel feeling.
The noisy crowd subconsciously fell silent, and in an instant, only the sound of Pei Jinxin's piano could be heard in the surrounding area.
"He is the one who should win the championship the most." Lu Qi said again.
The level of other people is equally superb, and some musicians have incorporated many difficult skills into the music.
However, Pei Jinxin's songs are not sharp, and all the skills are hidden, but they are radiant, and full of the strongest enthusiasm and warmth.
Yu Zhiye stared at Pei Jinxin, and replied without humility: "Indeed."
In the sound of Pei Jinxin's piano, you can forget the time.
Pei Jinxin's fingers stopped, and after half a quarter of an hour after the lingering sound had dissipated, the whole venue was still silent.
And after the silence, I don't know who took the lead. One applause overlapped with hundreds of applause, and the scene boiled all of a sudden.
The faces of the two referees were not very good-looking.
Pei Jinxin stood up amidst the applause, and bowed to the crowd in thanks with pursed lips.
He sat down on the seat next to the stage again, quietly stretched out his hand behind him, hooking Yu Zhiye's little finger with his little finger.
"It's great." Yu Zhiye lowered his body slightly, and leaned closer to his ear and said.
Pei Jinxin smiled very contentedly and humbly. That smile carried the sense of relief from a certain moment of playing the piano, without any care about gain or loss.
"My hands are shaking a little, do you feel it?" Pei Jinxin was a little excited.
Although he has performed on many big occasions, he has not been nervous for a long time when playing in front of more people. He has never been in such a mood.
He knew he did it and it was a great show tonight.
Yu Zhiye turned an angle with the hooked little finger, and held Pei Jinxin's other three fingers in his hand instead: "I can feel it, your hands are quite cold."
"Shall we drink ginger soup tonight?" Pei Jinxin asked.
"Yes." Yu Zhiye responded.
The last contestant to appear was Lu Qi. Before getting up, he looked back at Pei Jinxin and Yu Zhiye, opened his mouth to say something, but finally said nothing.
He walked to the center of the stage with his Sanxian in his arms, first bowed to the audience, and then stood still.
"Sanxian player, Lu Qi," Lu Qi was silent for a moment, then sat down, and whispered the piece he was going to play, ""No Name."
The voice was deep and solemn, with waves and grandeur, and with the romantic color of a hero's sacrifice. In the end, he actually used the sanxian to imitate a piece of "Sleep" that Pei Jinxin played just now.
Pei Jinxin was wearing thin clothes, and his hands were always cold. Yu Zhiye had paid a lot of attention to Pei Jinxin's body in the past two years, and he also cared about him.
Yu Zhiye kept holding Pei Jinxin's hand after he finished playing, transferring the warmth from his hand to his.
Even if the instrument is changed, Yu Zhiye can easily recognize that the last melody is from "Sleep": "What does he mean?"
Pei Jinxin didn't expect Lu Qi to use other songs, and his eyes showed surprise.
Lu Qi didn't look up for a long time, and the pick in his hand stayed on the strings.
After the applause rang out, he stood up and said, "Due to personal reasons, I am withdrawing from the Baitao town musician competition."
There was an uproar in the audience, whispers among the crowd, and some people asked why loudly.
The referees frowned, and one referee said angrily, "Nonsense!"
Lu Qi held the pick in his hand, and said calmly: "The piece just now was given to Pei Xian, he is No.1 in my mind."
Pei Jinxin was stunned for a moment, then got up and bowed to Lu Qi in response: "Thank you."
Many people in the crowd advised Lu Qi not to give up the game, but Lu Qi sat back on his seat unmoved.
After Lu Qi sat down, Pei Jinxin said thank you again, and sincerely praised him for the nice music.
Lu Qi also seemed to relax a lot after sitting down: "Impromptu, with some flaws, but it's not bad."
Pei Jinxin was even more surprised now: "Master Lu, you are too strong."
Unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, at the end, the melody I created and the melody of "Sleep" were integrated so well.
Lu Qi's mouth curled into a faint smile.
After deliberation, the last three referees agreed to Lv Qi's withdrawal.
Two referees voted No.1 for He Licheng, and one referee voted for Pei Jinxin.
Pei Jinxin won No.2 and another musician won No.3.
When the award was presented, Pei Jinxin didn't care about anything.
Holding the bonus in his hand, he stood beside He Licheng, a foot away from him, and the referee stood on the other side to applaud them.
The crowd above kept talking in a low voice, and after the ranking was announced, all kinds of noise became more and more intense.
After hearing that it was indeed He Licheng who took No.1, Yu Zhiye silently smiled mockingly, and stood aside looking at the backs of the three of them leisurely.
A voice suddenly erupted from the crowd: "Not convinced."
Then there was a loud voice, a small group of voices said that He Licheng was not worthy of No. 1, and another group of smaller voices retorted that He Licheng deserved to be the leader.
Each of the seven musicians is talented and has supporters. Various voices are mixed together, but the voices supporting Pei Jinxin can be clearly heard.
Everyone chattered and started arguing.
Suddenly, there was a heart-piercing voice, ""Sleep" is No.1, and the others are unworthy." That extremely excited tone suddenly made everyone laugh.
The referee who voted No.1 for Pei Jinxin also said leisurely: "I also think that Musician Pei deserves No.1."
Both He Licheng and the referee looked ugly.
They tried to send men to stop the turbulent voice, but the men they sent were drowned in the restless crowd,
Pei Jinxin was surprised by the development of tonight's events, but the surprise did not cause any waves in his heart.
He himself is satisfied with his performance, and he doesn't care whether he can get No.1, anyway, justice is at ease, and the most important thing in life is to be at ease.
After taking the bonus, he hugged him in his arms, passed He Licheng and shook hands with No.3, then turned and walked towards Yu Zhiye.
Pei Jinxin opened his arms and hugged Yu Zhiye, then smiled and stuffed the money bag he got into his hand: "They actually exchanged all the bonuses for silver haha, it's heavy, and I feel very good when I pick it up."
Yu Zhiye hugged him casually, and put his mouth close to Pei Jinxin's ear: "Actually, I hired two people to complain after the game with the reward of being a servant."
