Chapter 134 Pipa Skills
Feng Qingning nodded in agreement, then pointed to Miao Man, who was holding a rosewood and white jade pipa next to Shen Mingxing.
"Speaking of which, Miao Man is still Rong'er's close subordinate. She has been with you for so many years, so she can be considered someone you personally brought up. I'm not worried about her superb skills."
"It's just that this ancient pipa instrument, as I recall, is Rong'er's specialty. You gave the opportunity to others and left yourself out of it. What's the logic behind this?"
"You should go and replace Miao Man. The Ying family needs you to be a member of the family to complete the four corners."
……
Shi Rong put away the smile on his face, he was almost speechless, there was no need for this...
The reason why she let Shen Mingxing and the other two appear was to let the elders of the Huo, Xing and Song families notice their advantages, so as to pave the way for the subsequent marriage between the two parties.
What's the matter with her going up there?
But because there were so many people present, Shi Rong couldn't refute anything and could only nod in agreement.
"That's what Grandma said."
Shi Yang looked at his sister, who looked like he wanted to cry but couldn't, and covered his mouth with his hands, laughing uncontrollably.
People who know Shi Rong well know that what she hates most is showing off in front of others.
"Go down."
He walked lightly to Miao Man, took the pipa from her hands, held it in his arms, and winked at her.
"Yes."
She turned around and slowly sat down on the mahogany stool, lifted her long legs and folded them on her other knee, and placed the base of the pipa at the base of her legs.
"I told you that Miao Man couldn't replace you, but you refused to believe it."
Shen Mingxing, who was holding a jade flute next to her, teased her. Shi Rong smiled calmly, looking unhappy.
"Blow yours."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mingxing tried hard to suppress his laughter, fearing that he would laugh out loud and ruin the occasion.
The performance began with Shi Rong playing the pipa, followed by Xia Zhiyu's zheng, and then Shen Mingxing's flute and Ji Xinyue's guzheng.
The four women worked together to play a melodious and lingering melody. The overall effect was no worse than the accompaniment of the original song.
It can be seen that the four of them have superb skills in playing the ancient musical instruments in their hands. If they had not studied hard since childhood, they would never have reached such a level of proficiency.
Especially Shi Rong, her pipa playing skills are outstanding. Her slender hands have flexible and varied fingering, with her left hand on top and her right hand on the bottom. Every movement is just right on the strings, as if a lively elf is dancing to the music.
"Brother, Ah Rong is really amazing."
At some point, Huo Qiye came up to the lonely Huo Jiuzhou and quietly sat down.
For no other reason than that he saw that his elder brother was quite lonely and wanted to come and have a couple of drinks with him.
"Ah."
In front of outsiders, Huo Jiuzhou was as usual silent, cold and reserved, like a moving iceberg.
It seemed that only in front of Shi Rong did he act like a normal person with emotions.
Seeing that he didn't seem to want to pay attention to him, Huo Qiye curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Brother, Ah Rong is the legitimate daughter of the Ying family. Aren't you happy? Now no one can stop you two from being together."
Huo Jiuzhou's burning gaze rarely shifted away from the woman in the field and glanced at him.
"I am very happy."
I am really happy.
The only thing that made him unhappy was that he knew too little about his Ah Rong in the past.
……
After the prelude, a song as sweet as an oriole's cry sounded:
Sigh, this longing is like red beans filling the branches
My sleeves are wet with tears, yet I can't stop feeling sad
It's hard to control your emotions, waiting for you to look back at that time
Never forget but already lost
When I cherish you, you don't know
When you cherish me, I will leave
I hated too early and you loved too late
Meeting each other is always wrong
It's better than not meeting each other
Why bother to leave a sad thing in my heart
When I think of you, you don't think of me
I've left you, but you're still crazy
Fate is like flowing water, the wind and moon pass away quickly
Even if I write all the unfeeling poems
Even though I swear there will be no turning back
When I woke up from the dream, my eyes were already wet...
This is a modern song "I Cherish You, But You Don't Know It", but Shi Rong replaced the original accompaniment of this song with a live performance of ancient instruments, while the lyrics and music remained unchanged.
The person in charge of the lead vocals is Xia Zhi, who truly deserves to be the Huo Group's appointed singing, dancing and body trainer!
This beautiful singing voice with clear pronunciation, melodious voice and tender voice is really fascinating and beyond the expectations of the three people from the Xing family.
"You're a pretty good girlfriend, Jiashan, huh?"
Song Qianchen touched his chin, smiled ambiguously, and blinked his beautiful eyes at Xing Jiashan.
Isn't this much better than the ordinary band performances that the four of them would see when they go out and book a private theater?
"Look at how happy uncle and aunt are! Congratulations! Good things are coming soon, right?"
Xing Jiashan's handsome face turned red at his teasing and he glared at him.
"Um…"
No wonder when he asked Xia Zhi about the meeting between both sets of parents, she said she would give her two months. It was because two months later, it would be the time to reveal the truth.
After the song ended, the four stood up to take a bow, winning warm applause.
Feng Qingning smiled and looked at Xia Zhi, who was wearing a pure white gauze dress, with loving eyes.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Zhi'er's singing skills have improved again. It seems that Master Xia and his wife have put a lot of thought into you."
Xia Zhi chuckled, and every time Feng Qingning praised her, she couldn't help but reveal her two adorable little fangs.
"Grandma, you're too kind. Zhi'er's singing and dancing teacher is Dad's best friend. Grandpa even asked her to teach the young master before~"
After Xia Zhi said this, Feng Qingning remembered that it was true, so she smiled at Xia Chengfeng on the other end.
"That's great! It seems the young master is also grateful to you. Go down and prepare."
"Yes~"
The four men bowed and left, leaving everyone present to compliment and toast each other.
"Eh? Rongrong, why did you come out with us?"
Seeing Shi Rong also holding her pipa and following the three people out of the venue, Xia Zhi couldn't help but lean over with her playful and cute little head.
Shi Rong raised his hand and gently brushed the bangs on her forehead.
"Come out for some fresh air."
Shen Mingxing took the pipa from her arms and put it into the matching collection box.
She opened the wardrobe in the dressing room, picked out a few brand new, unopened haute couture dresses, and waved them in front of Shi Rong's eyes.
"A change of clothes?"
The latter thought about it.
"How long until it's over?"
Shen Mingxing lowered his head and glanced at the watch on his wrist.
"About three or four hours."
Shi Rong nodded and pointed at the black one in Shen Mingxing's hand.
"That's it."
"Okay~"
Shen Mingxing called Miao Man to help Shi Rong change clothes and put on makeup.
15 minute later.
When returning from the locker room, Shi Rong deliberately went through the side door next to the main seat to avoid being seen.
At that time, the opera performances in the center of the venue were still going on.
"Wow~ Ah Rong's legs?"
When Huo Qiye saw Shi Rong again, who was returning with a man and a woman, his pair of brown eyes instantly widened.
