Chapter 76 Selected
There are long sheds on both sides of the corridor in the government office, and seats are arranged to allow candidates to rest. However, compared to yesterday, there are not many candidates who are resting here today. Many of them are surrounded in front of the main hall and looking inward. There is a sound of piano sound inside, accompanied by a low chant... It seems to be drunk.
"This is drunk fishing singing in the evening." Zhang Shuangtong whispered in Xue Qing's ear, "He also used drunk songs to reconcile, and this piano song is all... "
Although the sound is very small, there are still people around him glaring: "Don't quarrel, listen carefully to Jiaqu."
Zhang Shuangtong also glared: "I will come on stage and let you hear what a real good song is."
The clerk standing by the door looked over and took a few warnings. Although this exam in the LeCourse was forbidden to watch, no noise was allowed... so as not to affect the performance of the candidates and the appreciation of the examiners.
Zhang Shuangtong curled her lips and turned around and walked away from the door. Xue Qing followed when she saw it.
"I won't listen anymore, it's all about to toss and turns." Zhang Shuangtong said.
Xue Qing said: "You will be here for the next game, go and have a rest."
The two walked back to Changshang and came to Chang'an Prefecture to rest. Although all the candidates in Chang'an Prefecture have come today, they will not all participate, and they will no longer draw lots in the state government, but will draw the number of individual games... Today, everyone is from the same state government but they are also opponents.
This exam was divided into singing, dancing and chess skills, and you can also participate in all the musical instruments and chess skills. Pang An only participated in the chess skills, but his expression was not relaxed at all.
"I didn't expect that Prince Xiliang was so powerful..." He sighed, "This is not something I can learn well in a day or two."
Thinking of the scene when Suo Shengxuan came on stage just now, it was still amazing... The young man in white robe played the piano and sang brightly and sang in a simple manner. He did six music... It was still the ancient Zhou Dynasty, and just like yesterday, all the candidates in Xiliang participated and all the ancient Saturday music... It was shocking again.
"Although the people of Xiliang are good at singing and dancing and are unique, they can do this in the Yunmen, which shows that they have worked hard. There are few people doing six joys in this game." Pang Andao, with an admiration, "I'm not as good as that."
Zhang Shuangtong sat down with her sleeves and said, "I don't deny that he did a good job, but it's still Sanshilang's words. He is not necessarily bad for others." While shaking his own zither and flute fan, "I can sing the piano, flute alone, and dance...it will definitely be a high score."
Pei Yanzi turned his head aside and said, "You can't get the top scorer in the end, just pass the test, why bother to compete for this?"
Pang An laughed, Zhang Shuangtong spat at Pei Yanzi, Pei Yanzi ignored him, and saw Xue Qing sitting silently, looking in one direction...
Pei Yanzi reached out and picked up the teacup and said, "Do you want to drink tea?" Look at Xue Qing.
Xue Qing nodded, and Pei Yanzi reached out and handed the teacup over... Xue Qing put his hand in front of him without moving, but leaned over and leaned over him Pei Yanzi's hand bit the teacup and raised his head...
Zhang Shuangtong raised her eyes and saw a whisper: "...Juggling should be considered Leke, you can do one of them in Sanshilang."
Pang An laughed again. Just now he laughed, but there was a noise in the other side of the hall.
"Hurry up, hurry up."
"Call the doctor, the doctor..."
The candidates under the long shed all looked and saw a few officers carrying a candidate along the corridor. The candidate's eyes were closed and his face was as white as snow, and his clothes were covered in blood... What happened? The candidates were in a state of chaos.
"... The candidates in Puyang... played an ancient song and seemed to be too devoted and vomiting blood..." The candidates watching outside the hall came to explain.
The candidates under the long shed all laughed.
"What are you singing... Are you mourning your dead wife like this?"
"Is that kind of scolding Cao?"
It is understandable whether you laugh or not. It is a matter of joy to express emotions, and it is common to make the listener cry and it is naturally a pity that makes oneself feel sad.
Zhang Shuangtong pointed at the candidate who was carried away and said, "This is the battle."
Xue Qing said: "This is so... it's really admirable." He put the teacup he was biting in his mouth back into Pei Yanzi's hand, "I'm going to fight too."
Pang An said in surprise: "Young Master Qingzi, what are you going to fight?"
Xue Qing said: "Of course, it's the top spot." After that, he took a few deep breaths, slowly raised his hand and stroking it slowly, "Don't forget that I am determined to take the top scorer..." Looking at Pei Yanzi: "Young Master Yanzi, what are the musical instruments provided by the government?"
Is this what I really want to do now? Zhang Shuangtong was so sad that she said, "Okay, it's so arrogant."
Pei Yanzi said: "There are all drums, zithers, zithers, bells, chimes, gongs, and gongs."
Xue Qing was indeed thinking, Zhang Shuangtong laughed, and a polite official stood on the road and whispered: "In the fifth game, candidates will enter the venue."
The candidates in the Changshang moved in a mess, and the candidates who had won the fifth game stood up and walked into the corridor. This was the case with seven or eight people including Pei Yanzi Liu Chunyang and Zhang Shuangtong on this side of Chang'an Mansion.
Xue Qing stood up and said, "I'll choose the drum." He shook his sleeves and walked slowly behind his back.
The little boy, with his blue shirt fluttering, walked out of the long shed and sunlight shone, which made the person watching him stunned in an instant... Zhang Shuangtong shook his head and said, "I'm so crazy." He raised his heels and broke the stagnation at this moment. More than a dozen candidates gathered on the road, and Xue Qing was like everyone else.
But Liu Chunyang stopped and took his steps back.
"What's wrong with Mr. Chunyang, go quickly." Pang An urged.
Liu Chunyang said: "I gave up the exam."
Pang An said, "Abandon the exam?" If it doesn't work, he shouldn't have taken the lottery draw from the beginning. Why do you regret it now?
Liu Chunyang said: "Young Master Yanzi is right. He can't get the top spot anyway, so why should he play?" After that, he also shook his sleeves and put his hands behind him, and walked towards the main hall from another direction... The reference walk to the side hall to prepare for the exam, while the other onlookers were casually watching.
Pang An looked at Liu Chunyang walking away with his hands behind his back, scratched his head and said, "No... Young Master Yan Zi and others are considering whether to compete for the top spot, but Young Master Chunyang, what you have to consider is whether you can be selected, right?"
.....
.....
"You want to choose the drum?"
The ritual officer in the side hall said in surprise.
The other candidates also looked over and looked surprised... Drums are not suitable for solos, let alone singing and dancing... Seeing the young candidates who are only thirteen or fourteen years old, thin and thin, playing drums... this is because they give up on themselves.
The ritual official shook his head and laughed again, "It's interesting. Xiliang is doing ancient Zhou music, but you should use the Qigong that Xiliang is commonly used."
Xue Qing seemed a little uneasy and said, "This is not considered a violation, right?"
The official of the etiquette said: "Of course, I am the Great Zhou Guang and I praise the Western Liang candidates for the ancient Zhou music. Naturally, I am happy to see the Zhou people playing the Western Liang music." He waved his hand and sent the drums.
Xue Qing took the salute and thanked him, walked slowly forward. The door of the side hall was opened, the curtain was lifted up, and the two civil servants shouted loudly.
"...Fifth Game...No.7...Enter..."
Xue Qing carried the drums and walked through the curtains into the hall.
The five examiners in the hall stopped talking and looked over. They were also slightly surprised when they saw the young man standing in the field. Is it a drum?
Xue Qing bowed to the examiners, sat cross-legged, drummed in his arms, and raised his hand to slapped.
Depressed, boring, monotonous, one sound, one sound, one sound after another...
The candidates watching outside the hall looked at each other, and regardless of the warning from the clerks, a commotion broke out.
"What is this?"
"It's better to hit a zither than hit a drum..."
"Ye, it's Qi Gu."
A group of teenagers in white robe turned their heads, and surprise appeared on their jade-like faces.
"Do you have a drum?" Suo Shengxuan gently pinched his chin, his bright eyes shining, "What an honor."
A little official who was leaning against the pillar on the other side, stood up straight and listened to the drum sounds from inside.
"...This is..." murmured in a low voice, and the man looked at this side from the column, casting shadows on his face, hiding half of his face.
The drum sounds in the hall became rapid, and the examiners straightened their backs, watching the sitting young man stand up, holding the drum and taking steps, and the pace is slow, but one step seems to be like a thousand troops...
"Lanling King Entering the Formation Song!"
An older candidate blurted out of the hall gate.
