Chapter Holding Hands

I just got Cai Wenji's letter, and now I don't have any particularly urgent matters. Seeing Xiaoyu looking expectant, A Niu agreed.

Just think that it is for yourself to have a holiday and steal half a day of leisure.

Seeing that Cai Yan was struggling to hold the guqin, a city lord glanced at Xiaoyu, stepped forward and took it from her, and smiled and said, "I'll help you with it." Cai Yan's face suddenly turned red.

In reality, when a girl struggles to carry heavy objects, it would be strange if a man doesn't say anything. A Niu just showed a little so-called "gentlemanly demeanor". Even Xiaoyu felt that this move was natural and nothing wrong. But for an ancient woman like Cai Yan, such a thing obviously caught her off guard. Putting aside the difference between men and women, how could there be a reason for the lord to be a "piano boy"?

The Qin had been taken by a city lord, so Cai Yan had to give up. Xiaoyu had already pulled Cai Yan with him, while A Niu followed him leisurely and the group headed towards the theater.

The theater has already begun to operate. Before that, the theater could only provide singing and dancing and a small number of hundreds of operas (acrobatics) performances for the villagers in the territory. Fengxiang Theater has gained a little reputation in NPC. Only secondary cities can own theaters. So far, there are only three secondary cities, including Fengxiang.

Fengxiang's theater covers a wide area and has more than 200 seats, but this scale cannot meet the needs of the villagers at all. Usually, when there are performances, the theater is crowded with people, at least more than 500 people are squeezed into it!

The performances in the theater greatly improved the satisfaction of the villagers. At any time when the theater was open, there were full seats. As time went by, Fengxiang Theater gradually attracted a small number of performers to join, and more and more programs could perform. Taking the Hundred Opera as an example, there were only two Hundred Opera artists, performing walking tightropes and jumping on the fire circle respectively. But now, there are five Hundred Opera artists in Fengxiang, and there are more performances such as spitting out fire, swallowing knives, and playing monkeys.

In addition, the theater can also provide musicians with performance venues. Compared with hundreds of operas and singing and dancing, the musician's performance is obviously "elegant art", but don't underestimate the artistic taste and level of Fengxiang villagers - even a certain city lord doesn't know the so-called musician apprentice performance. The villagers all listen with relish. Many people can stand there and watch happily for a long time, without feeling uncomfortable with their feet.

If Cai Wenji was willing to go to the theater to play a song for everyone, the scene would be so hot that it would be shocking. The ones outside could not enter or exit inside would look like a small riot.

The same is true today. As soon as Cai Wenji appeared outside the theater gate, the whole theater was in full swing. If A Niu had not had supreme authority in the territory, it would have taken some time to enter the theater. A Niu noticed that there were many strange faces in the cheering crowd, and many of them were not Fengxiang villagers, but probably foreigners who came here to see them.

The man in white who sat by the window in the tavern was one of them!

After leaving the tavern, the arrogant man in white clothes came to the theater. Fengxiang's theater was not a free performance. Even the most ordinary Fengxiang people, as long as they work hard, their income level is enough to cope with such expenses. For people outside the territory, the cost of watching the show is not low, but the man in white clothes is obviously quite rich.

In fact, he had already visited the theater once yesterday, and today he was a revisiting place. When he saw Cai Wenji appear, his eyes suddenly lit up, "Elegant temperament and calm manners are indeed the beauty of the world. With this alone, this journey has not been in vain! I just don't know if her piano skills are as excellent as the rumor, and I hope I won't disappoint me."

When the man in white clothes saw A Niu walking with Cai Yan, he couldn't help feeling bored, "Wen Ji was actually walking with that kind of disciple, and the guqin in that guy's arms turned out to be..."

The burnt marks at the tail of the guqin were clearly visible, as if telling the bumps of the guqin. The man in white was shocked and a hot light burst out from his eyes. He had already recognized that this guqin was probably the burnt-tail guqin owned by Cai Yong!

This discovery immediately diverted the attention of the man in white clothes, and he wanted to snatch the piano from A Niu and carefully review it. If it weren't for the congestion in the theater and the man in white clothes had not completely lost his mind, I'm afraid the strange thing of "The Lord of Fengxiang was robbed in his own territory" would have officially begun.

When the villagers saw A Niu and others coming in person with Cai Yan, most of them came forward to say hello, "The City Lord is here" and "Miss Xiaoyu is good." The villagers all knew that the City Lord was very busy on weekdays and rarely had time to come and relax. When A Niu helped Cai Yan put the guqin on the stage, the Fengxiang villagers who were sitting in the golden seat in the front row quickly stood up and enthusiastically gave up their seats for A Niu and Xiaoyu.

"City Lord and Miss Xiaoyu sit here, you can see clearly here!"

"I'm not that crowded here. Although there are pillars blocking the view, it's not that important to listen to the piano now.

A Niu smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, let's just find a seat to sit down." At this time, someone had already set up a bench in the front position, and everyone gave up and sat down one after another.

The man in white could see that Fengxiang villagers were not pretentious about their enthusiasm for a certain city lord, and they were completely intent. The fundamental reason for their giving up their seats was not that A Niu was the city lord. This made him even more surprised, "It's strange that everyone in Fengxiang City is so convinced by this frivolous lord."

However, the man in white had to admit that his accusation of A Niu of "frivolity" was entirely the scene of holding hands on the long street. In addition, A Niu's humility and easy-goingness in dealing with people is also really close to people.

As he was puzzled, the venue suddenly became quiet, and Cai Wenji was already sitting in front of the piano.

Cai Yan was obviously very familiar with this guqin, and even the steps for the audition were useless. Her jade face was extremely holy, and her slender fingers were plucked, and she played it directly. The clear and tumbling sound of the guqin sounded in the room, and the ups and downs brought everyone into a wonderful state. People held their breath and were extremely careful in their breathing sounds, for fear that they could disturb Cai Wenji's performance. Apart from the guqin sound, they could hardly hear the second sound.

Xiaoyu likes music, so he naturally feels fascinated by listening to it. Even a certain city lord sits upright with a serious face.

After Cai Yan dialed the last note, the afterglow still did not stop.

After the song, most of the audience in the theater were still immersed in a state of selflessness and were still carefully savoring the sound of nature just now. Cai Yan had long been used to it. He looked up at the stage and saw A Niu staring at him, and stretching out his thumb to make a complimentary gesture. Cai Yan suddenly felt that the song just now was not played in vain.

At this moment, the applause sounded, which was a person's applause. Then the villagers who woke up like a dream finally reacted and gave a loud applause. Looking around, the arrogant man in white was the first to applause, and the appreciation in his eyes was very obvious.

When a strange young man looked at him in public, Cai Yan was obviously not very adaptable. After smiling politely, he was about to leave, but he heard the young man in white shouting, "Good song! What a piano! But why is there a faint sense of sadness in the sound of the piano?"

Cai Wenji's steps immediately stopped and her face looked surprised.

Confucius was a master of piano playing. When he first advocated the music of the piano, he taught that "a gentleman cannot get rid of his joy. A gentleman can compare virtue with the piano, but only a gentleman can enjoy it." Practicing the piano and music is the highest level of gentleman's cultivation. In the music of the piano, Confucius heard the voice of King Wen's sage virtue, and Shi Kuang heard the sound of King Zhou of Shang's destruction of the country. The ancients believed that the atmosphere of heaven and earth was contained in it.

The overall rhythm of the song Cai Wenji played just now was bright and exciting. The man in white actually heard the sad mood hidden in the piano music. This person is definitely a music master!

Although A Niu didn't hear these tricks, when he saw Cai Yan's reaction, he knew that what the man in white said was true. He immediately moved his heart and watched the changes. As for why Cai Yan was sad, A Niu thought it was not difficult to understand: no matter who his father was in danger, he would probably not be happy at any time.

The man in white saw Cai Yan stop looking over and gave a long bow. At this time, he also found that he was a little presumptuous when he said that words in front of so many people. He apologized: "I hope Miss Wen Ji will not take it to heart if she is offended in a hurry."

Cai Yan smiled faintly, "Young master is proficient in music, Wen Ji admires it."

These words have already acknowledged the words of the man in white about "the sound of the piano is implicitly sad." Although Wen Ji is a weak woman, she has a strong temperament and does not act slutty.

"Dare you ask what Wen Ji uses, but Jiaowei Qin?" the man in white continued to ask.

Cai Yan didn't say anything, but looked at the man in white and nodded, floated away, letting the guqin be placed there, and the theater manager would help her return later.
