Chapter 28

After Yuxi went back, she wrote a hundred big characters, then sat on the chair and didn't speak for a long time. No one knows what she is thinking.

Mo Ju boldly called Yu Xi: "Girl, it's time for supper."

Only then did Yu Xi come to her senses: "What did you do today?"

Mo Ju served a sweet white porcelain bowl, and said, "Girl, it's three silver fish soup." Her master has loved fish since he recovered from his illness. Nowadays, the kitchen will make fish every now and then, and there are many ways to do it, such as braised, steamed, boiled, fish porridge, fish soup, etc.

After Yu Xi finished eating the fish soup, Mo Ju asked tentatively: "Girl, what were you thinking just now? Thinking so deeply?"

Yu Xi glanced at Mo Ju, and said, "I'm thinking about something." It's good to know some things by yourself, and you don't need to tell others, even if this person is a confidant.

Mo Ju was a little disappointed.

When Yuxi arrived at Yulanyuan the next day, she was a little surprised to see Mr. Song boxing in the yard. Yuxi didn't bother, but asked Mrs. Ding who was waiting with a towel: "What is Mr. Xian practicing?"

Mrs. Ding said with a smile: "This is Wuqinxi. If you persist in it every day, you can keep fit. Mr. has persisted for several years, and now he seldom gets sick."

Mr. Song had a serious illness a few years ago. After recovering from his illness, Mr. Song felt that his health was not as good as before. Later, I learned this set of Wuqinxi, and I have been persisting in it all these years.

Yuxi's eyes lit up when she heard the words "being able to keep fit".

Seeing the longing in Yuxi's eyes, Mrs. Ding said with a smile: "However, if you want to learn this Wu Qinxi, you must persist every day. If you can't persist, the effect will not be great."

Yuxi watched Mr. Song punching seriously, but did not speak.

After playing a set of Wu Qin Xi, Mr. Song went into the room to freshen up. Yuchen just arrived at this time. Yuxi looked at the maid behind Yuchen holding a piano, and blushed. She didn't even think about bringing a guzheng, well, she didn't have a guzheng at all.

The musical instrument room is the room where Yuxi rested before. As soon as Yuxi walked in, she saw two tables inside, with a zither and a zither on them.

Shi Shu stepped forward and took away the qin from the qin table, Shi Qin wiped the table and chairs again, at this time Shi Qi put the qin in his hand on it.

Yuxi didn't seem to notice what these maidservants were doing, she went to the front of the guzheng and plucked the strings a few times, making a piercing sound.

Yuchen frowned slightly.

When Mr. Song entered the room, he saw the piano in Yuchen's hand at a glance. He saw the black and red lacquer on the surface of the piano, with plum blossom broken patterns and snake belly broken patterns intertwined, and cow hair broken patterns on the back. Mr. Song asked: "Is this Duyou?"

Yuchen nodded and said, "Sir, this is Duyou, a relic left to me by my mother."

Mr. Song nodded, and said: "Then you should learn the piano well, and you will be worthy of this piano when you can play the moving music in the future."

Yuxi has never heard of Duyou, even though she knows that this piano must be very expensive, otherwise Mr. Song would not even look sideways. Cough, Yuxi looked at the clothes made of brocade on Yuchen's body, she had never worn the clothes made of brocade in her two lifetimes combined! So don't compare, it's very depressing to compare.

Yuchen has been learning the piano for more than a year, and there is no problem playing the piano for a long time. However, Mr. Song waited for her to finish playing a piece of music and said: "Well, it's very good, the technique is proficient, but there are still some deficiencies, and you need to practice hard." Learn the skills first, and then talk about other things.

After instructing Yuchen, Mr. Song walked over to teach Yuxi. Yuxi has no foundation and has to teach from the beginning: "When playing, you should use the four fingers of the right hand to pluck the strings." After the demonstration, Mr. Song said: "The left-handed method is still on the left side of the zither column. Comply with the tension of the strings and control the changes in the sound of the strings to adjust the pitch and perfect the melody."

Then he talked about the fingering when playing the guzheng: "The right hand has hook, hold, chop, pick, wipe, pick, hit, shake, pinch, etc., and the left hand has press, slide, knead, tremble..."

Yuxi was dizzy when she heard that,

I didn't know what I had learned in the morning.

Because of the relatively tight schedule, the maid who served breakfast this day delivered the meal directly to Yulan Garden, and the two of them ate in Yulan Garden.

Yuchen looked at the eighteen dishes placed in front of his desk, and then at the six dishes placed in front of Yuxi's desk, and said, "Fourth sister, let's use them together!"

Yuxi shook her head and said, "No need." Yuchen's breakfast was rich in varieties, but the amount was relatively small. She was afraid that she would not be full after eating Yuchen, and the old lady would have to settle accounts with her.

Yuchen felt a little sorry in her heart, but she also knew that if she said more, Yuxi might be disgusted.

The class in the morning was okay, and Yuxi could understand it. It was not so wonderful in the afternoon, Yuxi had never been in touch with chess and painting, and Yuchen had already learned it for more than a year and had already started. The two were not on the same starting line, and Mr. Song spoke very quickly, which made Yuxi feel miserable.

After class, Mr. Song gave Yuxi two books: "This is a chess record and a picture book, the fourth girl takes it back and read it carefully." Learning chess not only depends on talent, but also on acquired training.

Yuxi took the two books and said sincerely: "Thank you, sir." Including the score, there are already three books.

Back at the Rose Garden, Yuxi sat on a chair and recalled what happened today, and couldn't help feeling emotional. Yuchen's learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting is like playing, but she seems to be climbing a mountain, especially Guzheng, which can be said to be completely ignorant. Fortunately, she has worked hard all her life and has a strong mental capacity. If it were someone else, with Yuchen on top of her, she would be tired of studying.

Yuru's face changed when she heard that Mr. Song started teaching piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in the main courtyard. After going back, I asked Zhu Xuan: "Go and find out, has Mr. Song really started teaching piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Zhuxuan actually heard the news yesterday evening, but she didn't tell Yuru because she was afraid that Yuru would feel uncomfortable. Now, if you want to hide it, you can't hide it.

When Yuru heard the news was true, she pinched her fingernails to the palm of her hand: "Why didn't you say Mr. Song taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting at the beginning? Do you want to teach now?" Yuru thought that Mr. Song only taught piano, chess, calligraphy and painting to the students she recognized. , I don’t know that I will teach in a month. If she had known earlier, she would have persisted no matter how difficult it was.

Zhuxuan said her guess: "I think Mr. Song must have taken a fancy to the third and fourth girls." This means that Mr. Song is going to accept two students, Yuxi and Yuchen.

Yuru shook her head and said: "Impossible. Mr. Song is only willing to teach one student at a time. It is impossible to make an exception for Yuxi." Yuxi doesn't have such a big face to ask Mr. Song to make an exception for her.

Zhu Xuan persuaded softly: "Girl, no matter what Mr. Song does, it has nothing to do with us." They are no longer qualified, and there is no point in worrying about them.

After hearing this, Yu Ru was immediately discouraged.

To learn something, sometimes hard work alone is not enough. For example, Yuxi, after learning for half a month, still played disturbing noises. Most importantly, she didn't even know what she was playing, so don't be too ashamed.

Mo Ju saw Yuxi's frustration, and comforted her: "Girl, the music played by the third girl is so good because she has a good piano. If the girl also has a priceless guzheng, she will definitely be able to play it well." Beautiful tune."

Yuxi was speechless: "It's talent, it has nothing to do with whether the instrument is good or not."

Seeing that Yuxi was angry, Mo Ju didn't dare to say anything more. In the past two days, the girl's complexion was very ugly, presumably it must be because the third girl performed too well and was hit.

On the second day, Yuxi looked for Mr. Song after class, with a dejected look: "Teacher, I don't want to learn Guzheng anymore."

With Yuchen as a foil, Mr. Song knew that Yuxi was under a lot of pressure, but what surprised Mr. Song was that Yuchen would give up. Yuxi has always given her the feeling that she is very strong, not the kind of person who retreats in spite of difficulties. Mr. Song said: "Learning something requires perseverance and perseverance, and you can't just give up if you don't learn well."

Yuxi shook her head and said: "Sir, although chess and painting are relatively difficult, I have reached the threshold after learning these days. But I have learned Guzheng for so long, and I don't know what I have learned. Sir, I heard It is said that learning music theory depends on talent, if there is no talent, no matter how persistent and persistent it is, it will be useless." Yuxi's words are almost saying that she has no talent in music theory.

Mr. Song looked at Yuxi and said, "You want to give up halfway?"

Yuxi corrected Mr. Song's words: "Sir, I didn't give up halfway, but I didn't have the talent in this area. It's just a waste of time to persevere." Yuxi gave up so quickly, lack of talent is one aspect, and the other is She thinks learning an instrument is useless. Since it is useless, it is better to use this time to learn something useful.

Mr. Song said: "You dare to argue with me, you are very courageous."

Where is Yuxi's boldness? She was completely forced: "Sir, I really can't learn anymore. Sir, I don't know that when I was practicing in my own yard, the maid and mother-in-law wanted to stuff them with cotton. ear."

After hearing this, Mr. Song couldn't help laughing.

Seeing that Mr. Song still didn't agree, Yuxi said: "Sir, the third sister learned two years earlier than me, and she learns things very fast. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up with her progress if this continues. If I don't learn music theory, I won't Have more time to spend on other homework.

Hearing this, Mr. Song finally nodded and said, "Since you don't want to learn, then forget it." Judging from Yuxi's performance these days, she really has no talent in this area. Like chess and painting, she only needs to teach it twice, but it is useless to teach Guzheng more than ten times.

Yuxi was ashamed.

Mr. Song said with a smile: "Although you have no talent in music theory, you have a good grasp of color. As long as you study hard, you will definitely be able to learn painting well." Qualification is very important, and so is talent. Yuxi's qualifications are very good, and she also has a talent for painting, she doesn't want Yuxi to be wasted.

Yuxi was a little ashamed, and said: "Thank you for your compliment, sir." After a pause, she said: "Sir, I want to learn Wu Qinxi from you."

Mr. Song was a little strange and asked, "Why do you want to learn Wu Qin Xi?"

Yuxi said: "I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I often fell ill. Mother Ding said that after learning Wuqinxi and persevering every day, I will not get sick frequently in the future, so I don't have to take hard medicine anymore."

Mr. Song looked at the rosy-faced Yuxi, and asked suspiciously: "Are you often sick?" Judging from Yuxi's appearance, she doesn't look like a sick child.

Yuxi said shyly: "I used to get sick a lot, but now I'm much better."

Mr. Song understood a little bit, but she didn't agree to Yuxi's request, she just said: "Let's talk about this matter next year!"

Yuxi didn't know why she had to wait until next year, but now it was November, and the Chinese New Year would be one month away. She only needs to wait two months.
