I opened the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 62 Talent Competition

Another beauty in blue showed her superb musical skills, and we needed to make corresponding movements according to the rhythm of her music.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled slightly, and he seemed to be full of anticipation for this contest. He gently stroked the strings in his hand, as if communicating with it.

As the music started, the musical skills of the beauty in blue were like the sound of nature, gentle and melodious, making people intoxicated.

I took a deep breath, letting the fresh air fill my chest, and then slowly exhaled, as if to expel all the distracting thoughts in my heart. Then, I concentrated all my energy, fixed my eyes firmly on the piano keys, and began to play along with her soul-stirring music rhythm.

At first, I was a little unfamiliar with playing, my fingers were a little stiff on the keys, and the notes flowed out a little unnaturally. However, as the music progressed, the surging rhythm was like a torrent, surrounding me tightly. My heartbeat began to resonate with the melody, and every note was like a fire, igniting the passion deep in my heart.

The stirring melody was like the waves in a storm, hitting my heart wave after wave. I felt as if I was in a vast ocean, surrounded by turbulent waves and endless power. My fingers turned into a brave helmsman, struggling forward in this ocean.

As the melody stirred, my playing became more fluent. My fingers fluttered on the keys like a group of nimble butterflies. Every note was full of power and emotion, and they intertwined to form a colorful musical picture.

In this surging music, I felt an unprecedented freedom and passion. I seemed to transcend the limitations of time and space, immersed in the pure world of music, and fully released my emotions and energy.

Lu Xiaofeng's playing was full of agility and passion, and his fingering was skillful, as if dancing on the strings.

Our playing echoed each other, like a beautiful conversation.

As the melody became faster, Lu Xiaofeng and I played more vigorously.

At a certain moment, I seemed to enter a state of ecstasy.

A scene of an ambush from all sides appeared before my eyes, with swords, weapons and murderous intent.

I played more and more passionately, as if I wanted to bring out the scene to its fullest.

Lu Xiaofeng's playing is like a hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, full of vitality and vigor.

His fingering is as light as a flying bird, and his music reveals a sense of freedom and joy.

Our playing blended together to create a unique atmosphere.

The eyes of the beautiful woman in blue revealed surprise and admiration.

She obviously didn't expect that we could play such a moving melody by playing with cotton.

In this competition, we forgot everything and were completely immersed in the world of music.

The people around us were also attracted by our playing and gathered around, immersed in this wonderful music.

When the last note fell, the whole audience fell silent.

Then there was thunderous applause.

Lu Xiaofeng and I looked at each other and smiled, our hearts filled with satisfaction and joy.

This cotton-picking competition with the beauty in blue allowed us to experience the infinite charm of music.

It is not only a display of skills, but also an exchange and collision of minds.

Since then, Lu Xiaofeng and I often played together, and our music became more and more exquisite.

And the beautiful lady in blue also became our good friend, and we shared our love and pursuit of music.

Some beauties are good at poetry and songs, and asked us to answer questions about poetry with them.

Lu Xiaofeng and I came in front of the beauties and sat opposite each other. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant.

A beautiful lady was the first to ask a question. She opened her red lips and recited a line from a Tang Dynasty poem: "The bright moon rises over the sea, and we share this moment across the world."

I smiled and replied, "I raise my cup to invite the bright moon, and my shadow and I become three people." This is a famous line from Li Bai and one of my favorite poems.

Not wanting to be outdone, Lu Xiaofeng said, "When will the bright moon appear? Let me raise my cup of wine and ask the sky." He naturally brought up Su Dongpo's classic work.

The beauties smiled and asked another question: "The endless fallen leaves rustle down, and the endless Yangtze River rolls in."

I pondered for a moment, and recalled Li Bai's "Song of the Wine", and said aloud: "Have you not seen that the water of the Yellow River comes from the sky, rushes to the sea and never returns."

Lu Xiaofeng then said: "When life is happy, you should enjoy it to the fullest, and don't let the golden cup face the moon empty."

The atmosphere gradually became heated up. We interacted with the beauties and recited Tang poetry, Song lyrics and Yuan opera.

When talking about Song Dynasty poetry, the beauties mentioned Su Dongpo's "Water Melody".

I recited with deep affection: "May we live long and share the beauty of the moon together even though we are thousands of miles apart."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled slightly and said, "Where will I go when I wake up from my drunken stupor tonight? By the willow bank, with the morning breeze and the waning moon." This is a famous line by Liu Yong, which makes people feel as if they are by the river in the early morning, feeling the faint sadness of parting.

A beautiful woman whispered, "The flowers fall and the water flows, one kind of lovesickness, two kinds of idle worries." She recited the words of Li Qingzhao, revealing delicate emotions.

I nodded and responded: "After dusk, I drink wine under the eastern fence, and my sleeves are filled with a faint fragrance. Don't say I am not heartbroken. The curtain is rolled up by the west wind, and I am thinner than the yellow flowers." This line of poetry perfectly displays Li Qingzhao's elegance and sorrow.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Qi Qing's words are graceful yet bold, such as 'My clothes are getting looser but I will never regret it, I am exhausted for her.' It is really full of deep affection."

The beauties nodded in agreement.

Then, another beauty said: "The lyrics of Yi An Jushi, such as 'Searching, searching, cold and desolate, sad and miserable,' really make people feel the same way."

I couldn't help but sigh: "The beauty of Song poetry lies in its delicate and profound emotions."

At this time, Lu Xiaofeng recited a line from Liu Yong's poem: "Holding hands and looking into each other's tearful eyes, we were speechless and choked with emotion."

The atmosphere on the scene became more and more harmonious, and we were immersed in the beauty of Song poetry.

A beauty said: "Li Qingzhao's "Ru Meng Ling" is also a classic. 'I often remember the sunset at the pavilion by the stream, I was so intoxicated that I didn't know the way home.' It makes people feel as if they can see the woman who was intoxicated by the beautiful scenery."

I continued, "Yes, and the line 'Last night the rain was light and the wind was strong, and I couldn't sleep off the hangover.' is also very moving."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Song poetry is like wine, the older it gets, the better it tastes."

Then we talked about Yuan opera.

I said, "Guan Hanqing's "The Injustice of Dou E" can be regarded as a classic of Yuan opera."

Lu Xiaofeng added: "Yes, that line 'Earth, if you can't tell good from evil, how can you be called earth? Heaven, if you misjudge the wise and foolish, you are unworthy of being heaven!' is really full of sorrow and indignation."

A beautiful woman said: "Ma Zhiyuan's "Tian Jing Sha: Autumn Thoughts" is also very popular. 'Withered vines, old trees, crows, small bridges, flowing water, and people's homes.' What a beautiful picture."

We are immersed in the world of Yuan opera and feel its charm.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the scene reached its climax.

I sighed: "Tang poetry, Song lyrics, and Yuan opera are all treasures of Chinese culture."

Lu Xiaofeng nodded and said, "It is a great pleasure to discuss this with you all."

The beauties smiled and said they were having a great time.
