Heavenly Dao Formula

In a fiery atmosphere, the performance kicked off.

The regular programs are usually the ones that precede the festivities.

Such as lion dance, opera and acrobatics.

Xia Fan followed the convention on this point.

Most of the invited performers are locals, and many of them are on such a formal stage for the first time, and the tension is so overflowing that it can be seen with the naked eye. Although there were several rehearsals in advance, mistakes and small flaws continued one after another, and the level of performance was far lower than that of professional teams in big cities such as Gyeonggi.

In particular, the slightly trembling tone of their speech was amplified under the effect of the loudspeaker. Whenever this happened, the crowd in the audience would burst into laughter.

But laughing and laughing, the lively atmosphere not only did not diminish, but continued to rise.

It's the first time for the performers to be on stage, and it's the first time for the audience to participate in such a grand celebration? Her Royal Highness was sitting on the roof not far away, enjoying the performance with them. The experience alone is worth mentioning.

What's more, many neighbors and folks came to support the people on the stage, and the excitement is the first. As for how well the performance is, it is not the focus of people's attention.

At least most people aren't.

"Oh, it's a farce!" Mr. Chen clapped the teacup in his hand and said angrily.

If there are people who are dissatisfied, the few sons and scholars in Jinxia City seem to be one of them. They didn't bother to compete with the common people for a place close to the stage. Instead, they found a second-floor attic on the side of the square, and opened the window to see the performance in the center of the square.

"That's right, this level is not even as good as my family's folk artist." Someone around immediately echoed.

"Stuttering even when speaking, and daring to perform on stage, it's a joke in the world!"

"It's not their fault, and the celebration was not organized by these people. I asked someone to check the news. Xia Fan is a refugee, how can he appreciate it? I guess after this grand ceremony, the princess will be disappointed in him."

These words caused several scholars to nod repeatedly.

After all, Princess Guangping came out of the palace, so her experience in this area is naturally much higher. The first time she spoke to the whole city was on the New Year's Eve, so she obviously valued it very much. As a result, the celebration turned out like this, it's no wonder His Highness is not annoyed.

"I don't know what's going on with Big Brother Zhou." Mr. Hu sighed, "If he was here, he should have come up with a new counterattack strategy, right?"

The atmosphere in the room was condensed.

This remark made everyone realize that since the disastrous defeat in the school battle and Zhou Sheng went to Shangyuan to rush for the exam, they have never been able to make any waves. Although the reception and poetry reciting will remain the same, everyone's state of mind can't return to the way it was half a year ago. There are fewer and fewer familiar women in the brothel, and the changes in Jinxia City are getting bigger and bigger, but they... seem to be forgotten by the world, let alone being invited by the government to participate in various banquets, and now even the scholar Names have become commonplace.

What ceremony did Jinxia City want to hold before, how could the prefect not send someone to ask their opinion first?

Even if you don't accept it in the end, you have to show enough courtesy.

"There's nothing to be depressed about. We should be happy for Zhou Dacai instead of thinking that he can come back!" Mr. Chen frowned, "If he passes the general examination, he will be a Jinshi. Or go to another place to be an official, you can get rid of this filthy place, this is our goal!"

"Young Master Chen is right!"

"After all, this is not a place for scholars to stay."

Just when everyone was filled with righteous indignation, a burst of brisk and melodious music came from the direction of the square.

It is "Yangchun Baixue".

This song is considered a classic, and everyone is familiar with it. Compared with the previous performances, it is obviously much more superb. The flow between the fingers and the switching of the pipa strings are smooth and smooth, and the whole tune is full and smooth, which immediately raised the level of the celebration to a higher level.

This is not something they want to see.

Mr. Chen raised his binoculars and looked towards the center of the square——

They are two women who have never seen before. The player is slightly older, with a calm and dignified posture, and the singer is obviously much younger. It seems that he will not be more than fourteen or fifteen years old, but his accent is just right, and every line is full of youth. Vitality, just like the scene of winter passing and spring coming in the song, has a sense of comfort like the spring breeze blowing on the face.

Both of them were good players, he realized.

It seemed that Xia Fan kept the main event behind.

I don't know where he found such an artiste, it's simply enviable.

However, the general public was a bit dull, and there were only sparse applause at the end of the song, probably because they failed to recover from the previous "noisy".

"Playing the piano to a cow." Someone couldn't help muttering.

Mr. Chen thinks so.

In all fairness, being able to play a classic piece that has been performed by countless people to the point where it still feels fresh is definitely not something that can be achieved just by practicing it a few times. Only after years of accumulation can the meaning of the song be presented little by little.

It's a pity that ordinary viewers with little knowledge can't appreciate its beauty at all.

This is also the difficulty of public celebrations - it has never been an easy task to achieve both elegance and vulgarity. If Xia Fan wants to turn the situation around with one or two people, it is undoubtedly a dream.

At this time, a familiar figure walked onto the stage.

"That's...Miss Liu?" Hu Gongzi stared.

"Liu Ruyan—" Chen Gongzi sneered, he should have thought of it a long time ago, since this girl is secretly connected with Xia Fan, it is only natural for her to come out to help at this time.

The piano sounded.

Everyone couldn't help being taken aback.

The prelude to this song is completely unfamiliar, and it is not like any piece of music they are familiar with. The monotonous sound of the strings plucked back and forth, and the sound changed from light to heavy, and then disappeared suddenly. Before everyone could react, a string of melodious melodies composed of overlapping pianos, zithers and pipas flowed into everyone's ears!

Isn't it hard to tell who plays better?

But the effect brought by harmony is much richer than that of solo. Multi-layered strings appear alternately, instantly making this overture patchwork, with a lingering aftertaste. Even if it is the first time they hear it, everyone can immediately understand it. The great advantage of this play!

At the same time, Liu Ruyan also opened his mouth.

"In my arms..."

"In your eyes..."

"The spring breeze is intoxicating there, and the grass is green there."

Mr. Zhang was startled, the lyrics for this song are... vernacular?

...

"Oh? Is this the listener's song?" Ning Wanjun moved her body and leaned forward slightly with interest, "What, isn't this very nice?"

Xia Fan twitched the corner of his mouth, "Is Your Highness waiting to see my joke?"

The princess couldn't help but grinned and said, "It would be nice if I could see you in embarrassment."

"Hey, this is a grand celebration for your fiefdom."

"Didn't I say that there is no difference between a celebration and a speech in essence, the focus is not on the program itself, but on who to participate with." Ning Wanjun said lightly, "By the way, what's the name of this song?"

"By the lakeside of Baixue Mountain." Xia Fan replied. As the organizer, he took great pains in selecting the songs. Due to the particularity of Chi's voice, he planned to gradually transition from classical music to modern songs, minimizing the differences between performances before and after. And this solo song with a simple style and a beautiful melody stood out from the many candidates and became the finale before Chi's stage.
