Meet the Gentleman

Chapter 29 Three Questions to the Musician

Inside the Bamboo House.

The smoke from the stove curls up, exuding a faint fragrance.

When the zither player Fang Wang's words came out, some people began to wonder, could there really be something wrong with the sound of the zither?
At this time, Helian Shan, Liu Ling and others who were kneeling in front discovered that Feng Qingyan and Zhou Chang had also come to the bamboo building to listen to the piano.

Liu Ling couldn't help but laugh and looked at Feng Qingyan as if he was watching a show.

If the person sitting down does not listen attentively when the player is playing the piano, but looks around, it is considered disrespectful.

Unless the player makes a mistake in the sound of the piano.

If you are unable to point out the wrong note in the piano, the player will definitely not be in a good mood and may even kick the rude person out.

Liu Ling was looking forward to it.

Is there a wrong pronunciation?
Bian Xing looked at Helian Shan with some confusion.

Helian Shan shook his head slightly, indicating that there was no wrong note in Fang Wang's piano and he just needed to observe quietly.

Zhou Chang, who was standing beside him, was also somewhat surprised. Could it be that Brother Feng really discovered the wrong note in Fang Wang's zither? However, he did not see a zither in Feng Qingyan's wooden house, nor did he see Feng Qingyan playing the zither.

In this case, it is very likely that Brother Feng was distracted for a moment.

This is indeed a bit rude.

Everyone was surprised and after confirming that the piano sound was correct, they all looked to see how Feng Qingyan would answer.

Feng Qingyan was stunned for a moment before he stood up. The other party said calmly, "May I ask, Brother Fang, when you played the zither, were you respectful, upright, calm, and peaceful?"

"This is what every qin player must do when playing the qin. If you can't do it, you'd better not play the qin." Fang Wang was a little surprised, nodded and said, "I learned qin when I was five years old, and I could do this after one month. May I ask, is there anything wrong with the sound of my qin?"

When everyone heard that Fang Wang could do this at the age of five, they were all amazed. No wonder he was an eighth-rank zither player.

After they were amazed, they looked at Feng Qingyan again.

"Brother Fang, when you were playing the zither, were you able to concentrate on it, neither too fast nor too slow, and be calm and composed?"

When Feng Qingyan said this, Fang Wang’s face turned slightly pale.

Everyone was also slightly stunned.

If one could concentrate on one thing, it would be impossible for him to notice Feng Qingyan's absent-mindedness...

If the player of the zither sees this, it means that he is not able to concentrate on the music. If the player of the zither cannot concentrate on the music, how can he expect the listener not to look around?
You can't even concentrate on playing the piano, so how can you expect me to listen attentively?

in fact……

That's a bit harsh.

But everyone knows that there is nothing wrong with being serious.

Fang Wang wanted to say that he had done it, but in front of everyone, he finally said with shame: "Wang, I failed to do it..." However, he was very unhappy in his heart, thinking that the other party was trying to find fault, so he asked again: "Brother Feng, please point out the wrong notes in Wang's piano."

"Third question, Brother Fang, when you were playing the zither, were you able to calm your body and hands, focus on nothing else, and be in harmony with the great harmony and the wonderful way?"

Feng Qingyan still did not answer, but asked the third question.

Most people didn't feel much, but Fang Wang's face turned pale, which made all the students confused.

This is?

Liu Ling looked at Helian Shan in confusion.

Helian Shan frowned in deep thought, as if he didn't see Liu Ling.

When he looked at Zhu Yan next to him, he found that his face was a little pale. He couldn't help but look at Feng Qingyan in shock. Could he be a seventh-grade zither player?

Could he even be a sixth-grade musician?

How can this be? !
Liu Ling didn't believe it, and Zhu Yan didn't believe it either.

How could a person whom they disdain to take seriously be a zither player, or even a zither master? If he were not a zither player or a zither master, how could he say such a thing?

Zhu Yan was a little confused.

The ninth, eighth and seventh ranks are qinshi, and the sixth rank is qinshi.

Zhou Chang was somewhat surprised as he looked at Feng Qingyan, who had shocked Fang Wang and everyone else with his three questions. He thought to himself that Brother Feng was indeed very good at hiding himself, no wonder he was so extraordinary.

I should have thought of it earlier... Fang Wang's face turned pale for a while, then he bowed respectfully to Feng Qingyan and said, "Brother Feng, please give me some advice."

"I dare not teach you, let's encourage each other." Feng Qingyan said, and after a pause, he said, "Focus on it, forget about the world, and you can make ghosts and gods weep, and shock the wind and rain. This is a gift to you."

At this time everyone stood up.

Although Liu Ling was somewhat reluctant and could not understand the magic power of these sixteen words, he had to do it. At the same time, he admired Feng Qingyan for suppressing the eighth-grade zither player with just three questions.

Could this person really be a zither player?

"Focus on it, forget about the world, you can make ghosts and gods weep, you can shock the wind and rain..."

Fang Wang muttered to himself.

Feng Qingyan bowed to everyone and walked out of the bamboo building.

When Zhou Chang saw him, he bowed and followed behind.

When Fang Wang came back to his senses, Feng Qingyan and Zhou Chang had already left for a long time. Only he and two bewildered maids were left in the bamboo building. After a moment's hesitation, he bowed towards the door and said, "Wang, thank you Brother Feng for your guidance."

Although my name is Wang and my character means detached from the world, I cannot forget myself and the world. I feel extremely ashamed when I think about it.

Fortunately, someone woke me up in time and pointed out the way to the art of playing the zither, and I was very happy.

……

en route.

The snow gradually began to melt.

"Brother Feng has kept this from me for so long." Zhou Chang sighed with a hint of complaint, "If it weren't for the three questions in the bamboo building today, which shocked everyone so much that no one dared to speak, I wouldn't have known that Brother Feng was a zither player."

"Who said I'm a zither player?" Feng Qingyan asked in surprise.

"Could it be a seventh-rank qin player?"

Zhou Chang asked with some curiosity, wanting to know what level of musical realm Feng Qingyan was at.

"I don't understand the zither." Feng Qingyan shook his head and said with a smile, "I read those words in a book. I was distracted for a moment and was afraid that I would be kicked out by the zither player, so I had to use them against my will to save myself."

Zhou Chang was stunned when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong and said, "Brother Feng, there is no need to hide it now."

"Brother Zhou, I really don't understand the piano."

Feng Qingyan helplessly spread his hands and said, "In the future, I will learn to play the piano, and it shouldn't be bad."

Today, more than ten people came to the bamboo building to listen to the music. Feng Qingyan's three questions overwhelmed Fang Wang, but they spread the story in a vivid way.

The students were amazed when they heard this and all regretted that they had not been able to witness it.

A day later, most of the students had heard about it, and they all wanted to know in detail what happened in the bamboo building yesterday when Feng Feng Qingyan asked Fang Wang three questions to suppress him. The three questions became more and more mysterious, and when the news came out that Fang Wang was suppressed by the three questions, he was extremely ashamed and covered his face and walked away.

There was also a rumor that Fang Wang had broken through after asking three questions and had become a seventh-grade zither player.

What's worse, it is said that Fang Wang died of shame by vomiting blood.

When he appeared in Bocheng the next afternoon, some students were surprised to see him and said, "So Brother Fang is still alive."

When Fang Wang heard these outrageous rumors, he almost died from spitting blood.

Because Feng Qingyan defeated Fang Wang with three questions, he was admired by many students. Some people jokingly called him Feng Sanwen...

……

The weather is gradually warming up.

The snow is gradually melting.

Outside Bocheng, a plain ox cart arrived.

A woman was sitting quietly in the carriage, reading a book. When she entered the city and heard the three people asking about the zither, she said, "The first question is about the zither player, the second question is about the zither master, and the third question is about the zither attendant."

She knelt in front of the window, quietly looking at the snow in the distance outside the window.

"He is so focused and focused that he forgets everything else. He can make ghosts and gods weep and even startle wind and rain..." She retracted her gaze and smiled slightly on her quiet face. "He is a great master of the zither. You must see him. You must see him."
