Chapter 247: Phoenix Seeking Phoenix

Gu Yue started to play the piano, plucking the strings with her hands. Su Wan didn't understand music, she only knew whether it sounded difficult or not.

Hers is just average-sounding.

In this regard, Jiang Yu might know more than her, and he should be able to tell the good from the bad.

After the song was over, Su Wan didn't even know what song she played, she looked quite cheerful.

As soon as she finished, Murong Sheng was the first to start applauding for her, showing his special support.

"Yueyue plays the piano very well."

Hearing this, Gu Yue smiled sweetly at him and turned to look at Su Wan:

"What do you think, Su Wan?"

"The rhythm is not well grasped, and the strength of the hand is not well controlled. The heavy parts are not heavy, and the light parts are not light. There are a few places where the connection is too hasty, which sounds a bit awkward. I need more practice."

Before Su Wan could comment, Jiang Yu spoke first, looking like an expert and sounding very professional.

This evaluation can be said to be very bad. It was too detailed, so much so that Gu Yue felt a little embarrassed and her face turned pale for a moment.

"Thank you, Prince Jiang, for your guidance. I will pay attention to this in the future. I have only been studying for less than a year, and there are indeed many areas that need improvement."

Gu Yue seemed to accept it humbly, but in fact she was defending herself, saying that she had only been learning for a short time, so it was normal that she didn't grasp it well.

Seeing this, Murong Sheng also came to her rescue:

"You've worked really hard. You've been able to play like this in less than a year. That's great."

That’s right, other people’s opinions are actually not important to her, as long as Murong Sheng feels good about it.

"It seems that Prince Jiang is very proficient in music. I wonder if this prince has the honor to have his ears cleansed?" Murong Sheng, in turn, tactfully instigated Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this and looked at his little girl. Su Wan was not in a good mood tonight, and she must be bored here. It would be better for her to find something to do.

So, Jiang Yu followed Murong Sheng's wishes. He leaned forward slightly and asked Su Wan:

"Do you want to play the piano?"

Hearing this, Su Wan looked at him blankly and replied:

"But I can't..."

How could she play the piano? She couldn't even play the five notes in tune.

"Can I teach you in the future? Let me play a song with you tonight?" Jiang Yu guided her patiently and gently.

Su Wan thought this was possible, but she didn't expect Jiang Yu was also good at playing the piano, which was not mentioned in the original book.

She naturally couldn't miss this opportunity and wanted to see it for herself.

Moreover, if he said he was willing to teach her, then she would be willing to learn. It is always good to have many skills, but she was afraid that she would not meet a good teacher.

"Okay, then I'll try it!" Su Wan nodded in response.

"Then I'd like to trouble His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince to find a zheng for me." After Jiang Yu and Su Wan had reached an agreement, he asked Murong Sheng to get the zheng.

Murong Sheng waved his hand, and soon a maid came with a guzheng and placed it in the center of the pavilion.

Gu Yue was also very curious about how good Master Jiang’s piano skills were.

Jiang Yu took Su Wan's hand and left the seat, then walked to the piano table and sat down. Su Wan sat on the futon, and Jiang Yu held her hand from behind and led her.

Jiang Yu first checked the strings, tried the tone, and then checked the surroundings to avoid the string breaking in the middle of playing. If he accidentally hit his hand, it would be no joke. Because he was bringing her along, he was extra careful.

The workmanship of this piano is average, it can only be said to be okay.

Afterwards, he taught her how to position her hands. The two of them were very intimate, one teaching seriously, the other learning seriously, both as if they were oblivious to the people around them.

Murong Sheng and Gu Yue also realized that this Prince Jiang was not indifferent or unkind by nature, but his gentleness and patience were unique.

"Are you ready? Let's start?" Jiang Yu held her hands and whispered in her ears.

At this moment, Su Wan was completely wrapped in his arms. The unique fragrance on his body wrapped her tightly. Leaning on his chest, she seemed to be able to feel his strong heartbeat rhythmically.

"Hmm..." Su Wan responded, and then the piano in his hand began to produce music.

He asked her to relax and give her hand to him, and he started to play with her in a very familiar manner.

"Relax your fingers, don't be afraid." Feeling her fingers stiffen, he would comfort her softly.

The song sounded very nice, gentle and melodious, and progressive. It was not a particularly high-pitched tune, but was relatively steady from beginning to end, with relatively few climaxes. Forgive her for not being familiar with it, as she really didn't know the name of the song.

After the song was over, Su Wan felt like it had passed in a flash, with her hand still held by him. The player played the whole song steadily, and the listeners could also hear some of his skills. After all, he had to lead others to play, and he could play to this level. It can be said that Jiang Yu's skills have been based on at least ten years of practice.

After the song ended, Murong Sheng began to applaud, joking as he did so:

"What a song of phoenix seeking empress, what an elegant young man, Lord Jiang!"

He praised it like this, and he was really convinced in his heart. He must be good at it. He could even flirt with girls while playing the piano.

Feng Qiu Huang is a song played by a man to express his love to a woman.

This piece of music is not easy to master. In the early stage, it seems to have no ups and downs. But when you play it in the later stage, you will find how complicated it is and how much it tests your technique.

"So this is the legendary Feng Qiu Huang. I finally heard it with my own ears today. It's wonderful." Gu Yue followed suit and applauded.

It took Su Wan a long time to figure out that the song was called Feng Qiu Huang. She tilted her head back slightly and looked at Jiang Yu with a questioning look on her face. The two of them were already close to each other, and their gazes were like a pulled silk thread, and their eyes were unclear to each other.

"Do you like it?" Jiang Yu looked at her and asked.

"I like it!" Su Wan decided that the first piece of music he should learn in learning the guzheng should be this one, Feng Qiu Huang.

"Do you want to learn? Do you want to learn?" Jiang Yu asked again.

As long as she wanted, he would teach her well and spend more time with her alone.

"You have to learn, you have to learn."

Of course Su Wan wanted to learn. She wanted to learn something. So, when she felt sleepy, someone handed her a pillow.

"Then let's go to the zither shop tomorrow and pick out a good zither for you to practice on. When you've mastered it, I'll give you my Fengqiuhuang zither."

Jiang Yu started planning for the future before he even started teaching. He didn't even know if Su Wan was the right material.

"It turns out that Fengqiuhuang is in the hands of Prince Jiang. No wonder, no wonder."

Murong Sheng suddenly became excited when he heard Jiang Yu mention that his zither was called Fengqiuhuang.

"Brother Sheng, is there any connection between these two?" Gu Yue asked.

Jiang Yu and Su Wan's attention was also attracted and they all looked at him.

Murong Sheng slowly explained:

"My mother, Consort Shu, is very good at playing the zither. Over the years, she has spent a lot of manpower secretly searching for the whereabouts of Feng Qiu Huang, but to no avail. Unexpectedly, it is in the hands of Prince Jiang. The prince is not often in Kyoto, so it is no wonder that she can't find it.

However, if possible, this prince is willing to pay a high price if Prince Jiang is willing to part with it."

"No!" Jiang Yu refused without thinking.

I haven't heard that he wants to give it to Su Wan? He won't sell the flower no matter how high the price is.
