Chapter 54 Amazing 4 people

"Singing a song?"

Wen Ruqing seemed to have heard a joke. She covered her lips and asked, "Can you?"

The noble ladies around also started laughing. They wanted to see how this illiterate man who couldn't even play the piano, chess, calligraphy or paint could compose music for them.

Song Shiwei was too lazy to pay attention to Wen Ruqing. She asked the Marquis of Yongning, "My Lord, can I borrow a zither?"

Gu Tinglan volunteered: "I can lend you my Jinglan."

As she spoke, she ordered the maid behind her to fetch her "Jinglan" zither.

Jinglan is a famous musical instrument, and Gu Tinglan treasures it very much. It is difficult for ordinary people to even see it, let alone play a tune on it.

Wen Ruqing said, "Miss Gu is really generous. You are willing to lend her such a valuable piano. You are not afraid of tarnishing your peerless piano."

Gu Tinglan has never liked Wen Ruqing, as their identities and status are similar.

It’s just that because Wen Ruqing was promised to the prince, she always felt that she was more noble than her.

She snorted and said, "This piano is mine. I can lend it to anyone I want. What's it to you?"

Wen Ruqing's face looked a little ugly. She turned her head away with a look of disdain.

Song Shiwei rejected Gu Tinglan's kindness: "Thank you Miss Gu, but Jinglan is too expensive, so I can use the most ordinary piano."

"why?"

Gu Tinglan didn't understand why she refused?

The reason why Jinglan is called a famous piano is that its tone is much better than that of ordinary pianos, and the music it plays is more beautiful.

Song Shiwei explained: "Because if I win by chance, some people will think it's because of Jinglanqin.

I believe Miss Gu doesn't want anyone else to touch your piano except me, so just use the most ordinary one."

Gu Tinglan understood that even if Song Shiwei defeated them with Jinglan, they would not accept it.

So she has to use the most ordinary piano to prove herself.

She nodded, asked the maid to put Jinglan away, and then prepared the most ordinary piano and placed it on the piano table.

Song Shiwei sat in front of the piano table, first carefully checked the strings, and then plucked them a few times randomly.

The piercing sound made everyone want to cover their ears.

Wen Ruqing mocked, "Do you know how to play the piano? If you can't, you'd better admit defeat as soon as possible and stop pretending here."

Song Shiwei smiled, looked at Gu Tinglan and said, "Miss Gu, this song is for you. I would like to use this song to congratulate you on your birthday."

As she spoke, she flicked the piano with her index finger, and the sound of the piano came slowly.

Everyone pricked up their ears and listened to the melody Song Shiwei played, but it was a melody they had never heard before.

Someone asked, "What is this she plays?"

"I haven't heard it before. Could it be some unknown tune?"

"It doesn't sound that bad. I can play better than her."

They were full of confidence and thought Song Shiwei was bound to lose today.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also an expert in music. He thought Song Shiwei was hiding her talent, but it seems that is the case.

He relaxed his brows, his eyes swept over the tiger talisman that Xiao Jingheng placed on the table, with a light flashing in his eyes.

Xiao Jingheng was listening to Song Shiwei's music very seriously. At first glance, the music did not sound anything special, but he knew that Song Shiwei would never let him lose.

After an unremarkable prelude, the sound of the piano suddenly changed, like a waterfall rising straight up, trying to break through the sky.

Everyone followed the sound of the piano, their heartstrings all tensed up, they seemed to have turned into birds flying in the sky.

You can even clearly hear the chirping of birds, and there are more and more of them, until the sunlight is blocked out and the shadows of the birds are everywhere.

Someone exclaimed, "Look! There are so many birds in the sky."

Everyone looked up and saw colorful birds circling in the air, as if dancing to the music.

Some people found it incredible: "These birds were attracted by the sound of the piano? How...how is this possible?"

Anyone who is well versed in music knows that there is a piece of music in the guqin called "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix." It is said that when a person and the guqin reach a state of unity, the sound of the guqin can attract hundreds of birds to sing in harmony.

However, throughout history, there are very few people who can do it. It is said that there is only one person in Nanli who has this unique skill.

Now they actually saw such a magnificent scene with their own eyes and were simply amazed.

Wen Ruqing looked at the birds flying above her head and her face turned pale.

There was shock and doubt in her eyes, and she refused to believe that this was Song Shiwei's masterpiece.

Everyone had different expressions, it was very exciting.

Only Song Shiwei was immersed in the music and had reached a state of self-forgetfulness.

Countless pairs of eyes fell on her, as if they saw a fairy descended to the earth.

Xiao Jingheng stared at the flying bird above his head with a serious expression on his face. He didn't expect that Song Shiwei had such a skill.

However, while she amazes everyone, it may also bring her disaster.

Xiao Jingheng retracted his gaze and looked at Song Shiwei who was playing the piano seriously.

She sat there with an elegant posture, her beautiful eyes moving around as if they were glowing.

She is not a weed growing in the countryside; she is clearly the brightest sun.

The song ended, but the lingering sound was still there, even the birds circling in the sky had not left.

Song Shiwei stood up and said to everyone, "Sorry, I'm embarrassed."

Gu Tinglan reacted and clapped her hands in praise: "You are amazing. This is the first time I have seen such a spectacular sight."

She looked up at the birds flying away one after another and said, "This is the most surprising gift I have ever received."

Song Shiwei smiled, and just then a flying feather fell down.

She reached out to take it, gave it to Gu Tinglan and said, "Miss Gu, I'm glad you like it."

Gu Tinglan's eyes lit up when she held the colorful feather.

She said to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, "Crown Cousin, you lose."

The prince's face looked a little ugly, so he had to force a smile: "Miss Song is really impressive."

Wen Ruqing was not convinced, she stood up and said: "You cheated!

Didn't you say you have never been to school and you are not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting? You are obviously deliberately misleading us."

Song Shiwei turned her head and looked at her and said, "When did I say that I am not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? I clearly said that I am not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"you……"

Wen Ruqing was choked by her and was speechless. What is the difference between "not proficient" and "unskilled"? Don't they both mean "unskilled"?

She said, "You are cheating. You said you have never been to school. If you have never been to school, how can you recognize the music score? You have obviously learned it."

Song Shiwei shrugged and said, "I said I grew up in the countryside and didn't have much education, but I didn't say I didn't learn anything after returning to Beijing?

After my father brought me back, in order to prevent me from losing face for the Cheng'en Marquis's House, he hired a teacher to teach me. I only learned the basics, as my sister Song Mingzhu can attest."

After a pause, she remembered something and said, "Oh, I forgot that my sister Song Mingzhu was driven out of the mansion by the prince and is not here.

But Song Mingzhu is close to Miss Qian, so she must know it very well."
