Chapter 25: Rongrong Wants to Learn to Play the Flute
The next day.
When Tang Yuehua came to class again, she brought a brand new court dance, which combined the characteristics of ballroom dance and dance from this world and formed her own style.
"You have one month to practice court ballroom dance, and the best group will be the lead dancer of the first graduation performance."
Tang Yuehua's words led everyone to practice dancing desperately, because it was a graduation performance of court etiquette, and the emperor, nobles, and even senior officials of the big sects would appear.
If you perform well, you will benefit a lot.
Unfortunately, after a month, the qualification of leading dance did not fall to Qin Jian and Ning Rongrong, but to Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke.
"Qin Jian, in fact, you two danced the best, but the lead dancer is not only about whether you dance well or not, but also about the overall effect..."
Tang Yuehua said: "You danced the best, but from a distance, Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke were the most beautiful, because Xue Qinghe is taller than Xue Ke, and she looks more agile and changeable."
As soon as she said it, Qin Jian understood what she meant.
Indeed, Qin Jian, who is the same age as Ning Rongrong, has not started to grow yet, so the two of them appear to be the same height, and the effect of ballroom dancing is a little worse.
"Qin Jian, Qin Jian, Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke have become the lead dancers, what should we do?"
Ning Rongrong was a little anxious, she didn't want to lose because of this.
Qin Jian shook his head and said, "That's just the opening dance, the most important thing is the individual performance afterwards."
"But that's also the first impression. If they perform too eye-catchingly, then we will be under a lot of pressure later." Ning Rongrong said.
"That's true..."
Qin Jian pinched his chin and said, "Don't worry, I will find a way to make us the focus of the whole audience."
Ning Rongrong nodded and said, "Qin Jian, we must be the first."
"What? Are you so impatient to change the name?" Qin Jian smiled.
Ning Rongrong pulled his left hand and pouted, "No, I just don't want to let you go, even if it's just talk!"
Qin Jian smiled and narrowed his eyes when he heard this...
"Okay, the lead dancer thing is decided..."
In the class, Tang Yuehua announced and said, "In the next five months, you can freely choose the final performance form. Whether it is singing, dancing, or musical instruments, I will coach you."
"The first place in this graduation performance will become my official student."
Her last sentence easily ignited the enthusiasm of all the students.
Because with her status, it is extremely honorable to be her student.
As a VIP of countless nobles and even the royal family, Tang Yuehua has her own aura, and being her official student will also be valued.
"Qin Jian, Qin Jian, what are we going to perform?"
Ning Rongrong came closer again, her face full of curiosity: "You said last time that you would prepare well, are you ready now?"
"Yes, I'm ready."
Qin Jian smiled and said, "Let's perform an ensemble. Originally, it would be best to play the qin and flute, but unfortunately I can't play the flute..."
"Playing the flute, Rongrong likes it, can Rongrong learn to play the flute?" Ning Rongrong suddenly said excitedly.
Qin Jian shook his head and said gently: "Rongrong, you like to play the flute, we can learn it later, but you can't learn this kind of wind instrument well in just five months. You can learn it quickly if you play it."
"Then what should I learn?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Qin Jian smiled and said, "Guzheng."
"Guzheng?"
Ning Rongrong was a little surprised: "I haven't heard of this instrument..."
"This is a simplified version of the guqin. The seven-stringed zither is too difficult for you, so I expanded it to twenty-one strings, which is much simpler."
Qin Jian explained: "And the guqin has excellent sound quality, which is very suitable for the accompaniment of our song."
"What about you, Qin Jian, what instrument do you use?" Ning Rongrong asked.
"Guxun."
Qin Jian mentioned another instrument she had never heard of.
"You know a lot..." Ning Rongrong's eyes were shining.
Qin Jian smiled and said: "I only know a little about the guqin. You will still need Teacher Tang Yuehua to teach you. Guxun was my interest in the past. The sound contains ancient flavor and is also an excellent accompaniment."
"What music are we going to play?" Ning Rongrong asked.
Qin Jian looked at her and said: "I believe you will be able to play this song very well, because it sings the story of Zhang Xiaofan..."
"Wow!"
Ning Rongrong really exclaimed: "Qin Jian, you are so amazing!"
She naturally attributed the credit for composing this song to Qin Jian.
"Okay, okay, next I will go and get the custom-made guzheng and guxun, and then ask Teacher Tang Yuehua to teach me. After all, I just know how to play them. If you want to achieve the best results, you still need the teacher's guidance." Qin Jian said with a smile.
So, when the two of them brought the guzheng and guxun to class the next day, it unexpectedly attracted Tang Yuehua's attention again.
"They are all very ingenious ideas, Qin Jian, the guzheng and guxun you brought have very unique tones."
Tang Yuehua gave them special guidance in a corner: "But if you want to combine these two instruments perfectly, you have to compose the music well."
"Qin Jian, your tune is good, but it's a pity that you can't compose music, so let the teacher do it."
Perhaps it was because Qin Jian repeatedly surprised her, so she liked him very much, and she was willing to take the initiative to compose music for the two of them.
"Brother, did you hear that? Teacher Yue is going to compose music for Qin Jian and the others in person! What should we do?" Xue Ke said on the other side with some concern.
Xue Qinghe waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, Xiao Ke. We have already found a professional teacher to customize our graduation performance this time. From instruments to music, from layout to dance, they are all top-notch."
"These things are extremely simple for our royal family to do, but they in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tiles Sect don't know how to do them, so it's okay even if Teacher Yue helps them." She said confidently.
Xue Ke breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. I don't want to lose to Ning Rongrong!"
Xue Qinghe nodded, looked at Qin Jian and the others again, and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
She was not worried about this kind of palace performance at all. The only thing she was worried about was Ning Rongrong's feelings for Qin Jian, and her inexplicably deepening affection...
Just like that, five months passed quickly as they were fully studying and preparing.
Except for the two groups of Xue Qinghe and Qin Jian, every other group also prepared for a long time and waited for the final assessment with full confidence.
Of course, Qin Jian didn't care about these. He and Ning Rongrong were just immersed in daily practice, and their feelings grew stronger day by day.
The only thing that bothered him was that, since some time ago, the Charm Sword had lost its effect on Xue Qinghe.
Could it be that she had used it too much and developed resistance?
Perhaps this was normal. After all, it was only the first soul skill. How could it infinitely increase favorability? That would be against the will of heaven...
