Chapter 334 Lu Jinxi is a judge
At noon, a welcoming ceremony for Emperor Yuanfeng and thousands of officials was held at the Honglou Restaurant.
Moreover, in the whole Hengzhou, only the Red House has such a grand venue that can accommodate thousands of people for dinner at the same time.
This shocked Li Shimin and other officials once again.
Because of the scale of the Red Mansion, its luxury, and especially its avant-garde decorative style, there are only one or two houses that can compare with it, even in the imperial capital.
Although, the Wang family also imitated the Red Mansion in the imperial capital, invested several million taels, and built a Mingyue Tower with a very similar style.
However, when everyone tasted the delicious food of Honglou and the particularly friendly and natural service of Honglou.
Only then did I realize that there is still a big difference between them.
In fact, it is the so-called corporate culture and atmosphere.
Fairness, equality and freedom are emphasized within the Datong Chamber of Commerce. There is no obvious class distinction between all employees. Even the lowest-level employees have the right to appeal their rights through the Supervisory Department.
Moreover, most of the employees of Datong Chamber of Commerce are very satisfied with their salary and career opportunities.
Therefore, when everyone is working, they are completely sincere from the bottom of their hearts.
Unlike Mingyue Tower, it feels very fake.
It becomes more obvious when we finish our lively meal and go to the performance venue to relax.
Because Sun Shan simply arranged for Emperor Yuan Qing and others to watch the Datong Cup Singing Contest that day.
In addition, he also asked the Minister Lu Jinxi, who was proficient in music theory, to play the role of a judge.
He and Zhang Yuliang once again co-hosted the show.
With the appreciation of the emperor and high-ranking court officials, those outstanding contestants who have entered the finals are all as excited as if they were injected with chicken blood.
There were even contestants with superb dancing skills who sang and danced in order to impress the emperor and high-ranking officials.
Won applause from the whole audience.
"Contestant, your tone and rhythm are very good!"
After watching the comments of the other four judges for a while, Lu Jinxi began his first judge's show.
Although he is in his early sixties, he likes to use opera to vent external stress when he is under a lot of pressure at home.
Over time, coupled with his own talent in this area.
Gradually, the news spread among senior officials.
Some people jokingly said that he was the number one musician in the court of the Sui Dynasty.
This naturally made him more fascinated by music, but due to work and social constraints, he rarely had the opportunity to perform.
Today, under Sun Shan's deliberate instigation, he drank a little too much and was eager to take over Sun Shan's position as a judge.
"But I feel that your emotional investment and attention to detail are not quite up to par."
Sun Shan saw that Lu Jinxi was in a good mood. He just learned from Ding Zhilai that Lu Jinxi liked to be a teacher and also liked to sing.
So, the interface smiled and said, "Mr. Lu's comments are very pertinent, but I think that although Mr. Lu knows where the contestant did not handle it well, it would be better to let Mr. Lu sing a part himself and give the contestant a demonstration. What do you think?"
At this point, all 3,000 people in the performance hall applauded and cheered.
Even Emperor Yuanfeng clapped his hands and said to Lu Jinxi: "Mr. Lu, since you hold this position, just give a demonstration."
Lu Jinxi, who was still hesitant, agreed when he heard the emperor speak: "Okay, then let's listen to the emperor. I will sing a short piece of the details that contestant No. 8 didn't handle just now to set an example."
"Okay! Let's applaud and welcome Mr. Lu to sing!"
"Clap! Clap!"
Sun Shan interspersed jokes and joking around, which immediately made the originally dull program lively.
After saying this, Sun Shan picked up the improved guitar and gestured to Zhang Yuliang.
Zhang Yuliang quickly retreated to the drum set, ready to start the beat at any time.
"Outside the long pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and endless. The evening wind blows the willows, the sound of the flute fades, and the setting sun shines beyond the mountains. At the end of the sky, at the corner of the earth, half of my friends are gone. A pot of muddy wine will make me happy, and I will not dream of the cold tonight."
As Lu Jinxi's singing began, Zhang Yuliang gently added in the sound of drums, and Sun Shan also gently plucked the strings of the zither.
Soon, the hoarse and weathered singing voice and sad melody made the auditorium with more than 3000 people silent.
As Lu Jinxi sang, he forgot what he had said earlier about singing only a short passage.
Gradually, I remembered my deceased wife, my parents who had died long ago, my old friends who were now living in different places around the world, and the troubles of the world.
I couldn't help but feel tears in my eyes, and the song became even more sad.
Until Sun Shan saw him singing almost three times, his voice choked with sobs and almost crying, he quickly tightened the strings of his zither and ended his accompaniment with a high note.
Lu Jinxi finally reacted.
But at this time, Lu Jinxi was already in tears.
She calmed down somewhat embarrassedly, took out a handkerchief from her arms, and wiped the tears from her face.
He pulled the corners of his mouth and choked up: "I'm sorry, I recalled a lot of past events at once, and my emotions are a little fluctuating."
Then, he gave a thumbs up to Sun Shan, who was standing tall and straight on the stage, and said, "Sun Yat-sen, your farewell song will probably be the crown of music for the Sui Empire. Both the poetry and the melody are perfect!"
Hearing Lu Jinxi's evaluation, Sun Shan waved his hand modestly and said, "Every generation has its own talents, and each of them leads the trend for hundreds of years! I am just a student who has come across this by chance. I believe that in the long history of China, there will be more and more artistic talents in the future, and there will definitely be songs that are more perfect than mine."
As he spoke, Sun Shan bowed to Lu Jinxi and said, "For example, Mr. Lu, who would have known that you, who is so busy with official duties, would actually study and love music so much, and be able to reach such a high level. It is really amazing!"
In fact, Lu Jinxi and others were even more shocked.
Because, Sun Shan casually said that every generation has talented people, and each of them leads the trend for hundreds of years.
It is really memorable!
"My talent is like a firefly in front of Mr. Sun Yat-sen's talent."
Lu Jin was delighted to see Sun Yat-sen evaluate him in this way, as if a mountain had met a stream, and he felt that he had found a soulmate.
"Just because you have a country where talented people emerge from generation to generation and have been leading the trend for hundreds of years, it speaks volumes about the longevity and heritage of China. I, Lu, believe that with the leadership and inspiration of Mr. Sun Yat-sen, the arts and literature of the Sui Empire will create new brilliance!"
"Well said! I also believe that our Great Sui Empire will achieve greater glory!"
Following Emperor Yuanfeng's words, thunderous applause broke out throughout the auditorium.
When the applause died down, Sun Shan said loudly: "Next, please allow Mr. Lu to continue his comments-----"
Lu Jinxi calmed down, thought for a moment and said, "Contestant No. 8, when you reach the first hill outside the sunset mountain, you should pause. At the same time, a picture should come to your mind. Imagine that you are standing on the mountain, watching your relatives and friends go away alone. When you think of the backs of your relatives and friends, who are about to disappear in the shadows of the distant mountains, you will feel a strong sense of loss."
"Also, for the line 'At the end of the world, at the corner of the earth, half of my friends are gone', your tone should be a little higher, the emotion should be stronger, and there should be a sense of the pain of parting forever-----"
Sun Shan looked at Lu Jinxi, who was sitting on the judges' table and speaking so eloquently, and couldn't help laughing.
Unexpectedly, I actually scratched Lu Jinxi's itch.
It seems that the subsequent communication will be much smoother.
