Chapter 160: An Erhu Rampage, and You Came Just to Crash the Wedding Banquet?

The atmosphere in the livestream room at this moment was utterly bizarre.

"If I told you guys the erhu has become a spirit, would you think there's something wrong with my head?"

"No, because it really has become a spirit, and damn it, it even knows how to mock people!"

"I don't know why, but I'm especially happy right now. Could I be the legendary lunatic this song was written for?"

"Ahhhhhhh, the Sect Leader's making his move! The Sect Leader's really making his move! Isn't the Sect Leader just insanely cool?!"

"Already screen-recording, already uploaded to Bilibili. Lunatics, what are you still waiting for? Come find the organization for the next step of treatment!"

"Sign me up, save me a treatment slot!"

"Sign me up +1, keep the formation downstairs."

"Sign me up +

, whose lunatic still knows to keep the formation?"

……

On the wedding stage, Su Meng picked up the microphone and said with a smile.

"Friends, are you all happy?"

"Happy!" quite a few people shouted instinctively.

But the moment they finished shouting, they immediately covered their mouths and glanced around cautiously.

Damn it, the fact that I'm mentally ill won't be discovered by anyone, right?

On the stage, Su Meng continued.

"Today is a day of great joy, so logically speaking, it should be a happy and cheerful occasion."

"But then again, there's also a small little regret here."

Everyone pricked up their ears, listening carefully to Su Meng's words.

Su Meng pointed at the bride and said gently.

"As you all know, the bride comes from the Western Frontier, a thousand miles away, and she married here for love."

"Because the journey was truly too far, her relatives and friends couldn't come to attend the wedding, which is somewhat of a regret."

"So the next piece is one I've specially dedicated to the bride."

"It's a piece in the Western Frontier style, called 'The Grapes Are Ripe'!"

A piece specially dedicated to the bride?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then immediately cast envious glances toward the bride.

The bride was even more thrilled, so excited she was about to leap up.

Su Meng closed his eyes slightly, and the bow in his right hand began to dance rapidly.

A erhu melody rich with Western Frontier flavor suddenly rang out across the entire wedding venue.

In the erhu's sound, everyone seemed to see—

In the vast and beautiful Western Frontier, great swathes of grapes had ripened.

Simple, kind-hearted people sang and danced among the vineyards, expressing the joy of the harvest.

"That's it, that's exactly it! This is the music of home!"

The bride suddenly cried out in excitement.

Then she gathered up the hem of her wedding dress and began lightly dancing a Western Frontier dance.

The people of the Western Frontier have always been known for their love of singing and dancing, and the bride was no exception.

Her dancing was lively and graceful, her steps light and nimble, the bright red wedding dress fluttering, making her look especially enchanting.

"I want to dance too!"

Boss Yang, drawn in by the music, suddenly shouted.

She ran straight over to the bride's side and began dancing together.

Although she wasn't much of a dancer, her figure was bold, and with just a casual sway, it was a sight of surging waves, possessing its own unique charm.

"I'm dancing, I'm so happy!"

Liu Tianxian and Deng Ziqi couldn't hold back either and joined in.

Xiao Yueyue also bounced around happily like a ball of flesh.

More and more people joined the ranks of the dancers.

Although most of them were middle-aged and elderly, who says middle-aged and elderly people can't dance?

How about square dancing? How about disco? How about breakdancing?

If all else fails, broadcast calisthenics can make do!

In music like this, does rhythm or no rhythm, moves or no moves, really matter?

Just dance and be done with it!

Even the elderly Master couldn't help twisting his neck left and right a few times.

His neck cracked a few times, scaring the old man into stopping immediately.

Otherwise today's happy event would have turned into a funeral.

With so many suona bands on hand, they'd have to start playing for him…

……

"Good!"

In a faculty office at Yinyuexue Academy, Hu Zhengyuan shouted "good" loudly.

Then he stared fixedly at the screen and muttered to himself.

"Rigorously structured, clearly defined musical form—a very complete and mature work."

"The melody is fresh and graceful, the style rich and distinctive, the rhythm bright and clear, the mood fervent and unrestrained."

"What a fine piece — truly a fine piece!"

Qin Qianyan also leaned over and said in astonishment.

"Teacher, although this piece is a solo on the erhu, it carries an extremely strong ethnic-minority musical style."

"The main theme uses the G mode common among the Uyghur people, and the melody consistently contains the rhythmic pulse of the Western Regions hand drum."

"A single erhu, and yet it can perform such a rich ethnic-minority flavor~~?"

Hu Zhengyuan nodded and said affirmingly.

"This piece will surely become one of the representative works of the erhu."

"Wonderful, truly wonderful — that boy Su Meng has indeed given me a tremendous surprise."

"Students of the erhu major, attention…"

He turned his head, just about to speak, and suddenly froze.

For by now the classroom had already become a sea of dancing…

……

This piece, "The Grapes Are Ripe," is not long — only a few minutes in total.

When the song ended, Su Meng waved at the bride.

"Beautiful bride, are you happy?"

"Happy! I'm so happy! It's been a long time since I've heard such authentic music from my hometown."
