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

Mo Ju boldly called Yuxi: "Girl, it's time for supper." ”

Yuxi came back to his senses at this time: "What did you do today?"

Mo Ju served a sweet white porcelain bowl and said, "Girl, it's three silk whitebait soup." "Her master has been very fond of fish since he recovered from his illness. Nowadays, the kitchen will cook fish every three or five days, and the methods are also very diverse, such as braised fish, steamed, boiled, fish porridge, fish soup, etc.

After Yuxi finished eating the fish soup, Mo Ju asked tentatively, "Girl, what were you thinking about just now?"

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

Mo Ju had some disappointment.

When Yuxi arrived at Yulan Garden on the second day, he was a little surprised to see Mr. Song boxing in the courtyard. Yuxi didn't bother, but just asked Mrs. Ding, who was waiting with a towel, "What is this practice that Mr. Xian is doing?"

Mrs. Ding said with a smile: "This is a five-bird play, and I insist on strengthening my body every day." He persevered for several years and now rarely 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 five poultry operas, and I have insisted on it all these years.

Yuxi's eyes lit up when he heard the words "I can strengthen my body".

Seeing the eagerness in Yuxi's eyes, Mrs. Ding said with a smile: "But if you want to learn these five bird plays, you must persist every day, if you can't persist, it won't have much effect." ”

Yuxi watched Mr. Song punch seriously and did not speak.

Mr. Song finished playing a set of five poultry plays and went into the house to freshen up. Yuchen happened to arrive at this time. Yuxi looked at the maid behind Yuchen holding a piano, and his face turned red. She didn't even think about bringing a zither, well, she didn't have a zither at all.

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

The waiter stepped forward and took the piano from the piano table, and the waiter wiped the table and chairs, and then the waiter put the piano in his hand on it.

Yuxi didn't seem to see what these maids were doing, so he walked to the guzheng and plucked the strings a few times, making a harsh sound.

Yuchen frowned slightly.

When Mr. Song entered the house, he saw the piano in Yuchen's hand at a glance, and saw that the surface of the piano was black and red, the broken lines of plum blossoms and the broken lines of the snake's belly were intertwined, and the back of the cow hair was broken. 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 can learn the piano hard, and when you can play beautiful music in the future, you will be worthy of this piano." ”

Yuxi had never heard of Duyou, and she knew that this piano must be very expensive, otherwise she wouldn't even look sideways at Mr. Song. cough, Yuxi looked at Yuchen's clothes made of Yunjin, she hadn't worn clothes made of Yunjin in her two lives combined!

Yuchen has been learning the piano for more than a year, and there is no problem playing it for a long time. However, Mr. Song waited for her to finish playing a piece and said, "Well, it's very good, the technique is skilled, but it is still lacking, and it needs to be practiced well." "I learned the tricks first, and then I talked about the rest.

After instructing Yuchen, Mr. Song walked over to teach Yuxi. Yuxi has no foundation and must be taught from scratch: "When playing, you should pluck the strings with the big, index, middle, and nameless fingers of your right hand." After the demonstration, Mr. Song said, "The left-hand method also includes adapting to the tension of the strings on the left side of the zhengzhu and controlling the change of the string tone to adjust the pitch and perfect the melody. ”

Then he talked about the fingering when playing the guzheng: "The right hand has hooking, supporting, splitting, picking, wiping, ticking, beating, shaking, pinching, etc., and the left hand has pressing, slipping, kneading, trembling, ......etc."

Yuxi was dizzy when he heard this, and he didn't know what he had learned after a morning.

Because of the tight schedule, the breakfast maid on this day sent the meal directly to Yulan Garden, and the two of them dined in Yulan Garden.

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

Yuxi shook his head and said, "No need." Yuchen's breakfast is very rich, but the amount is relatively small, she is afraid that she will not be able to eat Yuchen enough, and the old lady will have to settle accounts with her when the time comes.

Yuchen was a little reluctant in her heart, but she also knew that if she said more, she was afraid that Yuxi would be disgusted.

The morning class was okay, and Yuxi could understand it. The afternoon is not so wonderful, chess and painting Yuxi have never been in contact, and Yuchen has been learning for more than a year and has already started. The two of them were not on the same starting line, and Mr. Song spoke quickly, which made Yuxi feel bitter.

After class, Mr. Song gave Yuxi two books: "This is a chess game and a picture book, the four girls take it back and take a good look." "Learning chess is not only about talent, but also about learning.

Yuxi took the two books and said sincerely, "Thank you, sir." "With the sheet music, there are already three books.

Back at the Rose Courtyard, Yuxi sat on a chair and recalled today's events, and couldn't help but sigh. Yuchen is learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting as if she is playing, but she seems to be climbing a high mountain, especially the guzheng, which can be said to be ignorant. Fortunately, she has lived a lifetime and has a lot of bearing capacity, if it is replaced by someone else, there is Yuchen on it, I am afraid that she will be tired of studying for a long time.

Yuru heard in the main courtyard that Mr. Song began to teach qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her face changed. After going back, he asked Zhu Xuan: "You go and inquire, did Mr. Song really start teaching qin, chess, calligraphy and painting?"

Zhu Xuan actually heard the news yesterday evening, but she didn't tell Yuru, for fear that Yuru would feel uncomfortable if she knew it. Nowadays, I can't hide it.

When Yuru heard the news, her fingernails pinched her palms: "Why did you say that Mr. Song didn't teach qin, chess, calligraphy and painting at the beginning? If she had known, no matter how difficult it was, she would have persevered.

Zhu Xuan said her guess: "I think Mr. Song must have taken a fancy to the third girl and the fourth girl." This means that Mr. Song is going to accept the 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's impossible to make an exception for Yuxi. "Yuxi didn't have such a big face to let Mr. Song make an exception for her.

Zhu Xuan tactfully persuaded: "Girl, no matter what Mr. Song does, it has nothing to do with us. "It's no longer qualified, and there's no point in worrying.

When Yuru heard this, she was immediately deflated.

To learn something, sometimes hard work alone is not enough. For example, Yuxi, after studying for half a month, still plays with disturbing noise. The most important thing is that she doesn't even know what she's playing, so it's not too embarrassing.

Mo Ju saw Yuxi's frustration and comforted: "Girl, the music played by the third girl is so good, all because she has a good piano." If the girl also has a priceless zither, she will definitely be able to play beautiful tunes. ”

Yuxi was speechless: "This is talent, and it has nothing to do with whether the instrument is good or not." ”

Mo Ju saw that Yuxi was angry and didn't dare to say anything more. The girl's face in the past two days is very ugly, and it must be because the third girl's appearance is too good, and she was hit.

On the second day, Yuxi looked for Mr. Song after class, looking depressed: "Teacher, I don't want to learn Guzheng anymore." ”

With Yuchen by his side, Mr. Song knew that Yuxi was under a lot of pressure, but to Mr. Song's surprise, Yuchen would give up. Yuxi has always given her the feeling that she is very strong, not the kind of person who retreats in the face of difficulties. Mr. Song said: "You need perseverance and perseverance to learn things, and you can't give up if you don't learn well." ”

Yuxi shook his head and said, "Sir, although chess and painting are more difficult, I have also touched the threshold after learning these days." But I've been learning Guzheng for so long, and I still don't know what I've learned. Sir, I have heard that learning music theory depends on talent, and if you don't have talent, even perseverance and perseverance are useless. "Yuxi's words almost mean that she has no talent for music theory.

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

Yuxi corrected Mr. Song's words: "Sir, I'm not giving up halfway, but I don't have the talent for this." Stick to it, it's just a waste of time. "Yuxi gave up so quickly, and her lack of talent was one thing, and on the other hand, she felt that learning musical instruments was useless. Since it's useless, it's better to use this time to learn something useful.

Mr. Song said: "You dare to argue with me, you are bold." ”

Yuxi was bold, and was completely forced: "Sir, I really can't learn anymore." I don't know, sir, when I was practicing music in my yard, the maid and the maid hated to stuff their ears with cotton. ”

When Mr. Song heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that Mr. Song still didn't agree, Yuxi said: "Sir, the third sister studied two years earlier than me, and she learns things quickly, I'm afraid that if I continue like this, I won't be able to keep up with her progress in the future." When I don't study music theory, I have more time to spend on other studies.

When Mr. Song heard this, he finally nodded and said, "Since you don't want to learn, forget it." Judging from Yuxi's appearance in the past few days, she really has no talent in this area. Like chess and painting, she only needs to teach it twice, but Guzheng has been taught repeatedly, and it is useless to teach more than ten times.

Yuxi looked ashamed.

Mr. Song smiled and said, "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." "Qualifications are 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 waste it.

Yuxi was a little ashamed and said, "Thank you, Mr. for the compliment." After a pause, he said, "Sir, I want to learn the Five Fowl Opera from you." ”

Mr. Song was a little strange and asked, "Why do you want to learn Wufowl Opera?"

Yuxi said: "I have been in poor health since I was a child, and I often get sick. Ding's mother said that if I learned Wufowl Opera and persevered every day, I wouldn't get sick often in the future, so I wouldn't have to take hard medicine anymore. ”

Mr. Song looked at Yuxi, who was ruddy, and asked with some suspicion, "You often get sick?" Looking at Yuxi's appearance, it doesn't look like a sick seedling.

Yuxi said embarrassedly: "I used to be sick a lot, but now I'm much better." ”

Mr. Song was a little clear, but she didn't agree to Yuxi's request, but said, "Let's talk about this next year!"

Yuxi didn't know why she had to wait until next year, but it was November now, and the New Year was just over the corner in a month. She only had to wait two months.
