Seeing the two were sincere, Zhang Shixun stopped being polite and began to instruct Ding Dusai: "There are two ways to pluck the strings: pinch plucking and lifting the strings. The difference is that one is to plucking from diagonally above to diagonally below, and the other is to plucking from diagonally below to diagonally above, at an angle of forty-five degrees..."

"Forty-five degrees?"

"Oh! Forty-five degrees is..." Zhang Shixun then remembered that the ancients had a different understanding of angles than later generations. So he placed his fingers on the strings and patiently demonstrated to her: "Pay attention to the angle between my fingers and the strings. This is forty-five degrees. Look carefully."

"Oh! I see it clearly." Ding Dusai and Li Shishi answered at the same time, and they stretched out their fingers at the same time and placed them on the piano table according to the angle demonstrated by Zhang Shixun.

"You have to master the angles, otherwise the sound won't be perfect. Also, avoid keeping your fingers stiff; they should remain naturally relaxed. Also, the depth, speed, and force of your contact with the strings will all affect the tone, and you'll need to slowly experience this as you play."

The two listened to his explanation very carefully and nodded frequently.

After explaining how to pluck the strings, Zhang Shixun explained to them the correct position and method of pressing the strings, and taught them all the playing techniques he had mastered without reservation.

Li Shishi listened very seriously, her concentration even showing a hint of piety.

Although she had many teachers since she was a child, no one was as generous as Zhang Shixun in teaching her. She cherished this opportunity very much.

In ancient times, most famous piano teachers were very proud of their own skills and were reluctant to pass on their skills to others.

On the contrary, Ding Dusai seemed nonchalant. Her favorite instrument was not the guzheng, but the pipa. Another key point was that she usually sang in brothels and faced a different audience from Li Shishi, so her requirements for the instrument skills were not as high as Li Shishi's.

Zhang Shixun patiently explained that in order to help them deepen their impression, he asked the two of them to actually play the piano separately, and he sat on the side to give them instructions. Of course, he could not help but take the opportunity to take advantage of them.

Ding Dusai's hands are smooth, while Li Shishi's hands are soft as if they have no bones.

I really can't touch the bones!

How come it looks so long? Zhang Shixun muttered to himself, and then he felt a little vulgar.

"Sir, I seem to have played this part incorrectly. What's the problem?"

"Sir..."

"Young Master..."

Zhang Shixun felt like he was going crazy, he couldn't do two things at once.

The two women were both beautiful and fragrant, distracting his attention all the time.

I was so distracted that I couldn't focus on teaching them how to play the piano. I often answered questions irrelevant to theirs, which earned me a lot of cold stares from them... It was so annoying.

"Miss Shishi, can I go to the bathroom for a while?" Zhang Shixun finally came up with the idea of ​​running away to pee.

"Is it convenient?" Li Shishi looked up at him, confusion in her bright eyes.

"Oh, I'm going to the toilet." Zhang Shixun had no choice but to speak plainly.

You can control everything in the world, but you can’t control shit and farts.

I can’t stand it anymore, I need to pee.

This was difficult to refuse, so Li Shishi turned around and called the maid.

The maid seemed to be just outside the door and came in.

"Take the young master to the toilet." After saying this, Li Shishi lowered her head and continued practicing.

The maid was average looking and a bit taciturn. On the way to the toilet, Zhang Shixun politely struck up a conversation with her, but she either responded with "hmm" or "ah" and immediately lost interest in talking to him.

I followed the maid to the toilet and found that there was a small lantern hanging inside the toilet for lighting. It was very dim, and there was obviously incense in the toilet. If I hadn't seen the toilet, I would have thought I had gone to the wrong place.

Zhang Shixun swayed left and right, humming the tune of "The moon is hazy, the birds are hazy". After finishing his work, he came out and wanted to stroll in the yard, but he saw the maid standing not far away waiting for him, so he had to reluctantly follow her back to the piano room.

After I came back, I saw that the two of them were concentrating on writing the music score. I didn't disturb them and just sat quietly by the side. When they finally finished memorizing the music score, it was already midnight.

"Mr. Zhang, thank you so much. I have learned a lot from you today." Li Shishi stretched lazily with a graceful posture.

"Sir, you must be tired. Let me give you a shoulder massage." Ding Dusai began to hit his shoulders with his little fists.

Zhang Shixun suddenly felt light and elated all over, it was such a pleasurable experience.

Li Shishi attentively brought over a cup of steaming fragrant tea.

Zhang Shixun didn't care about his image and drank it greedily in one gulp. He complained in his heart that it was served too late. He was thirsty a long time ago, so could he have another glass?

After drinking tea for a while, Zhang Shixun stood up and prepared to leave.

Although this place is nice, it is not a place where you can stay for a long time. The key is that people here will not stay here.

Having said that, even if the other party wanted to stay, he would feel embarrassed to do so.

But he was wrong. Li Shishi was still not satisfied and did not let him go back at that moment.

In the dim candlelight, Li Shishi smiled brightly: "Master, please take a moment to check the music. I'll sing it for you and you can point out any flaws... Master, aren't you tired?"

"Not tired, not tired!" Zhang Shixun heard her calling him "Young Master" in a friendly manner and singing, so of course he was happy to accompany her.

It would be a fortune for ordinary people to hear her sing.

Zhang Shixun tuned the strings again and began to play the prelude. When the prelude ended, Li Shishi and Ding Dusai were still standing there in a daze. Zhang Shixun had no choice but to stop and asked with a sullen face, "The prelude is over, why are you still standing there in a daze?"

Li Shishi came to her senses and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, your playing was like the sound of a fairy. I was so focused on listening to you that I forgot to sing."

"Yes, yes! I was just like my sister, I just listened." Ding Dusai also agreed.

Zhang Shixun was about to teach them a lesson, but he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips. It was because Li Shishi's face was very harmful to the country and the people, and her expression was very charming. She looked so pitiful that it made people unable to blame her.

When she said "I'm sorry", her sweet voice was so penetrating that it went straight to the heart, making people feel itchy.

Zhang Shixun sighed inwardly and shifted his gaze to Ding Dusai's face. However, this girl's smile was also at the level of turning everyone upside down, and coupled with... well! It was also full of affection, and its lethality was no less than that of Li Shishi.

It's over! They've got me for the night.

Zhang Shixun calmed down and tried to find an excuse for himself: It's not their fault for trying to please him, it's because I played the piano so well.

He coughed lightly and said, "Pay attention this time. After the prelude is finished, I will nod to signal you."

Li Shishi and Ding Dusai nodded repeatedly and became very focused.

This time it was good. When the prelude was about to end, Zhang Shixun nodded slightly to them, and the two of them started singing.

As soon as the two started singing, Zhang Shixun nodded in praise, saying that they were indeed unique.

They are the leaders of the entertainment industry of this era, with great musical talent, accurate pronunciation and very sweet voices. However, the transitions in some places are a little stiff, which is inevitable, after all, they are newly learned songs.
