108. Chapter 108 Orchid in the Empty Valley
Chen Hao's bet regulations made everyone laugh. Chen Hao was determined not to drink the tea that Zhang Lan'er gave him.
Su Xun smiled at Chen Hao with a relaxed smile: "Okay, it's up to you, Lord Chen!" He said that Chen Hao would ask for it first. In Su Xun's opinion, as long as Chen Hao competes with him for music, everything else is no longer important. There have been rumors that Chen Hao is so great, but there have been no rumors that he is proficient in music. Therefore, he is confident that Chen Hao is not his opponent in music.
"Haha, Mr. Suo is older than Mr. Chen, Mr. Suo invites me first!" Chen Hao gave in, and then sat back to his original position and continued to drink.
Seeing Chen Hao sitting back, Suo Xun stopped giving in and asked his servant to bring the guqin he brought with him. Finally, he sat down firmly: "I'm so ugly!"
After saying that, the ten fingers were waving, like the sound of the wind dancing, the beautiful rhythm flowed at the fingertips like gurgling streams, and the tune was clear and gentle. Listen quietly, and then it was clear that the sound was faint and the ambition was far away. Smile carefully, the melody slowly came, reflecting the elegant and simple orchid, and the quiet and distant artistic conception, expressing the depression and sadness...
"What a song "Yuelan" with a lofty artistic conception and its profound meaning is even more clear!" Chen Hao drank and talked to himself. When he looked up at Zhang Lan not far away, he found that his face was blushing and his eyes were flashing and his eyes were quite gloomy.
How could a person who knows the music do not know why Su Xun chose this song? This is obviously the Tang Dynasty version of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun. Sima Xiangru of the Han Dynasty expressed his love for Zhuo Wenjun, and then successfully counterattacked and accepted this talented woman. Today, Su Xun's song "Youlan" signaled Zhang Lan'er to express his love for him.
Chen Hao couldn't help but shook his head, but he didn't expect that he would be innocently involved in the emotional entanglement between the two. The song sound was slow and long, and the meaning was deep and sincere. Chen Hao was amazed in his heart. Suo Xun was indeed well-known, his fingering was flexible and changeable, and the whole process was like flowing clouds and water, which was perfect.
At the end of the song, everyone was amazed, and even Chen Hao had to slap in the high-fives and praise: "What a wonderful thing, it is a song of orchids, a song of white snow! Its meaning is profound, and Chen admires it!"
Suo Xun was very helpful to return the gift: "Thank you for your praise, it's hard to touch it, Lord Chen, please!"
Suo Xun, who walked off the stage, looked at Zhang Lan'er intentionally, but what disappointed him was that Zhang Lan'er turned her head and said nothing, and she looked at him with no expression. She couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, and then she imposed all her anger on Chen Hao.
"Mr. Chen needs to use that kind of musical instrument, so that Xiaohuan can prepare it for you!" Zhang Lan'er looked at Chen Hao and asked softly with a smile.
When Suo Xun just returned to his seat, he saw Zhang Lan'er treating him and Chen Hao, he felt even more annoyed when he showed such a different attitude. However, as the grandson of the Suo family, he was naturally a little more upbeat and suppressed his anger and was depressed and drunk alone.
"Brother Suo, there is no need to be like this. The song just now can be said to have reached the level of level, so Lord Chen will definitely not be as good as you. As for the sister, please rest assured, I will help you!" Zhang Huaiding came to Suo Xun and comforted him.
"Hmph!" The Lan'er he loved had never served him tea and danced. When did he whisper to him, it must be this hateful Chen Hao who took away his Lan'er. The more he thought about it, the more angry Suo Xun became, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, so he regarded Chen Hao as his enemy!
Zhang Qianyi, who was in the chief, saw that Chen Hao did not set off and did not ask for any instrument. He thought to himself, could he know that he would not be able to admit defeat? Zhang Qianyi asked in a puzzled tone: "Mr. Chen, Lan'er is right, I don't know..."
Chen Hao stood up and interrupted Zhang Qianyi: "Mr. Zhang, no musical instruments are needed! Just prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone!"
"What to do?" Zhang Qianyi asked in surprise.
Chen Hao smiled profoundly and took out a bamboo leaf from his sleeve: "It's enough!"
Although I felt incredible and felt that Chen Hao was not good at playing bamboo leaves, it was not easy to refuse, so I asked the servant to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of Chen Hao's desk.
Chen Hao pinched the bamboo leaves with his left hand and blew it gently, and a beautiful string of music flowed out. Then he held a brush in his hand and dipped it in ink and wrote on the rice paper.
The song is far and sad, making people feel sad without feeling sad, and the ethereal tune makes people forget everything that is deeply intoxicated. When everyone is moved by the beautiful song, on the desk, an empty mountain is surrounded by towering clouds, and on the cliffs in the valley, an orchid stands tall. The whole painting style is splashed ink and freehand, with profound realistic, and the orchid is lifelike and beautiful in the wind.
The combination of music and painting makes people amazing how clever the techniques are, and they can't help but admire Chen Hao's distraction. They are not surprised to be able to do one of these things well, but if two are synchronized, it is difficult to reach the sky.
The song slowly came to an end, and Chen Hao's speed of writing was much faster. When everyone heard the song, they saw a line of small characters next to the orchid picture, and they touched it. Zhang Lan'er was closest to Chen Hao. After seeing it, she couldn't help but lose her mouth and said: "Your Excellency Tianyin, the seven strings are full of elegance in the prosperous era, the white jade is flawless, and the rain blooms in the jade. Looking back, the time is like quicksand, and the scenery passes by several spring and summer. After the song, people disperse and end at the end of the world, the valley is in vain!"
The song ended, and the painting was full of meaning, but everyone didn't know what to say, as if everything they said at this moment had become redundant...
Zhang Lan'er looked at Chen Hao with bright eyes: "Sir, this song and this painting are called "Empty Valley Orchid"?"
Chen Hao smiled gently and nodded, it was because Chen Hao was not deliberately showing off. Before making a bet, Chen Hao didn't know that Suo Xun was proficient in music and was the number one player in Hexi. This was also a big mistake for Chen Hao, so if he wanted to go unbeaten, he could only go two-pronged, at least he wouldn't be embarrassed in the end.
"What a good dress "Orchid of the Valley". I really didn't expect that Lord Chen is not only quick-witted, but also a master of music painting! But I'm poking my eyes!" Zhang Qianyi sincerely praised Chen Hao.
"Mr. Zhang is so frightened, I'm afraid!"
Next is the moment of judging the level of Chen Hao and Suo Xun. Zhang Qianyi pondered it over and over again, pondered for a moment and said solemnly: "The two are hard to tell the difference between the two in terms of music, but Lord Chen has a little advantage in terms of essence. Therefore, I judge that Lord Chen will win!"
"I'm not convinced!" Suo Xun came to the hall and retorted.
"Oh?" Zhang Qianyi looked at Suo Xun with a little displeasure in confusion.
Although Suo Xun knew that this move would make Zhang Qianyi unhappy, he felt aggrieved and dissatisfied. A pot of tea was nothing, but since then, how did his Hexi Qinyin talent do what he did! So he said with a tough forehead: "Mr. Chen is so famous, and I really admire him. However, I don't like to win by taking advantage of tricks, so I am not convinced!"
"Bastard! Go back!" Zhang Qianyi saw that Su Xun had no demeanor as a grandson of the Suo family, so he angrily shouted out.
Seeing that Zhang Qianyi was really angry, Suo Xun lowered his head and held back his resentment. When he looked at Chen Hao, a sharp look flashed in his eyes. Chen Hao smiled coldly when he saw this, he would not care about others hating him, because he was never afraid of others hating him. He did not want to bully others, but it did not mean that he would not bully others.
Seeing Suo Xun drinking the pot of tea with gurgling water, Chen Hao thought to himself, if there was really laxative in this tea, I'm afraid this pot would be enough
