Chapter 60 The Devil's Sound Pierces the Ears
The doctor bandaged Xiao Jiuyue's wound, changed her into clean clothes, and she didn't go to Fengchunlou for lunch, but just had some noodle soup.
"If it weren't for me, Sister Xiao wouldn't have been injured." Tang Tian looked at Xiao Jiuyue with guilt and self-blame and said, "Sister Xiao, do you really not need me to take you home?"
"You really don't have to send me home. Otherwise, I won't be at ease when you come back." Xiao Jiuyue politely declined Tang Tian's offer and sent her all the way to her doorstep. "Over at the candy shop, just follow the plan. For those ten kinds of pastries, just pick two reliable chefs to teach you!"
Xiao Jiuyue left the Tang family and when passing by Zhiyin Pavilion, he said, "Stop the car."
After a cup of tea, Lianxin followed Xiao Jiuyue into the carriage, holding a zither. Looking at Xiao Jiuyue's injured arm, she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself.
"My arm is injured, so this is a good opportunity to kill time." Xiao Jiuyue said casually.
Lian Xin hugged the zither and said worriedly, "The doctor said that the young lady's wound is very deep. If she doesn't rest well, she might be in danger."
"The doctor is always exaggerating." Xiao Jiuyue chuckled and thought, if she doesn't take advantage of this good opportunity to practice the piano well, how can she learn the piano in the future?
You can't say that she won't play the piano anymore after she returns to Hongdu, right?
Xiao Jiuyue closed her eyes and took a nap. Before she reached the Xiao family's old house, she saw that the orange workshop at the foot of the mountain had already been built. Even from a distance, she could still feel everyone's joy.
"Yuer, why did you change your clothes?" When the beautiful lady Su heard that she was back, she came out immediately and saw that she was wearing a light green dress. Although it was still a light green dress, the pattern was obviously wrong.
Su's hand just happened to touch Xiao Jiuyue's wound, causing her to gasp in pain. Lian Xin, who was holding Qin, said, "Madam, the eldest lady's arm is injured."
Lian Xin vividly described the encounter they had with the thief today. Su's eyes were red from hearing it, and tears were dripping down her face. She wanted to touch Xiao Jiuyue, but she didn't know which hand was injured. She could only choke and say, "Yuer, don't go out from now on. It's too dangerous."
"Mom, I'm hungry. I want to eat the brown sugar rice cake you made." Xiao Jiuyue covered her stomach, looking very hungry.
"Then you take a rest, I'll make it for you right away." Su wiped away her tears and hurried to the kitchen to make brown sugar rice cakes.
"Lianxin, don't tell grandma about my injury, so as not to worry her." Xiao Jiuyue reminded her, sitting on the couch, her eyes fell on the guqin she had just bought. She raised her hand, her fingers fell on the strings, and the memories of the original owner came flooding back.
Pick, hook, wipe, pick...
When Xiao Jiuyue's hands fell on the zither, she felt an indescribable sense of familiarity. The sound of the zither came out...
"Miss, your arm is injured. Please don't play the piano anymore." Lian Xin hurried forward and wanted to put the piano away. Xiao Jiuyue raised her eyes. Lian Xin looked at her arm worriedly and said, "Be careful not to open the wound."
"It's okay, I won't use this hand." Xiao Jiuyue began to practice the fingering techniques one by one with her right hand. It didn't matter whether the sound was good or not. What was important was that she wanted to slowly play out the skills in the original owner's mind through her own hand!
Su came over with the prepared brown sugar rice cakes. Before she even entered the house, she heard the indescribable sound of the piano.
"Yu'er, now that you've injured your hand, it's not easy to play the piano with one hand." Su saw that she was only using one hand, and then said, "Here, the brown sugar rice cake is ready. I put more brown sugar in it. Come and taste it and see if it's sweet."
Su said, scooped up the food with a spoon and fed it to Xiao Jiuyue's lips. Xiao Jiuyue chuckled and said, "Mom, I just hurt my arm."
"Mom wants to feed you." Su gestured for her to open her mouth.
As soon as you put the sweet brown sugar rice cake in your mouth, the soft and glutinous texture combined with the brown sugar makes it sweet to your heart.
"It's delicious." Xiao Jiuyue looked at Su's cautious appearance, as if she was a treasure held in the palm of her hand. This thought made her feel sweeter than the brown sugar rice cake in her mouth.
At night, Xiao Jiuyue’s progress in fingering practice was not very good!
Practicing fingering over and over again, and the devilish pitch of the music, was a torture to her ears, boring and damaging.
At night, Xiao Jiuyue lay on the bed with her eyes closed, listening to the weird magic music.
Early the next morning, Xiao Jiuyue started practicing.
Xiao Jiayuan came over after hearing the sound, looked at Xiao Jiuyue in surprise and asked, "Sister, are you practicing some new song?" Why does it sound so bad!
"Your leg has just recovered, and you're already running around?" Xiao Jiuyue asked instead of answering.
Xiao Jiayuan felt a little guilty and said, "Sister, I'm not running around, but last night, I vaguely heard the piano music and I really didn't sleep well."
"Come on, you play it. It's just right. I want to see if you have been slacking off recently." Xiao Jiuyue made way for Xiao Jiayuan to play.
"Sister, can I not play the piano?" Xiao Jiayuan looked guilty. If he had known this, he would not have come here.
"No." Xiao Jiuyue was full of theoretical knowledge, but had nowhere to use it, so she just grabbed Xiao Jiayuan to learn from him. While teaching Xiao Jiayuan, Xiao Jiuyue also had the opportunity to practice it.
Xiao Jiayuan has learned so much that he looks like a bitter melon. If he had known this earlier, he would not have followed here out of curiosity.
"Miss, Miss Tang is here." Lianxin walked in hurriedly.
Xiao Jiayuan immediately winked at Ji Fu and said, "Sister, you have something else to do first. I'll go back and practice slowly."
Xiao Jiuyue saw through Xiao Jiayuan's intention to escape and reminded him, "Starting tomorrow, practice for an hour every day."
Xiao Jiayuan's chubby eyes were filled with disbelief, and then he responded with a wronged tone, "Oh."
As soon as Xiao Jiayuan left, Lian Xin said anxiously, "Miss Tang and Madam Tang came together. When they came, they happened to run into the old lady. Now... the old lady also knows about your injury."
"..." Xiao Jiuyue just stood up and paused. It seemed that she was going to be scolded again.
When Xiao Jiuyue arrived, Madam Tang was chatting with Old Madam Xiao. Tang Tian, who was very reserved, stood aside and looked very well-behaved. When she saw Xiao Jiuyue, she immediately became excited: "Sister Xiao, how is your injury? Are you feeling better?"
Even without looking at Tang Tian's concerned words, Xiao Jiuyue could sense her grandmother's gaze sweeping towards her. Xiao Jiuyue smiled and said, "Tiantian, I'm just slightly injured. It's not worth your making such a big show of thanking me."
"How can it be a minor injury, with such a long cut?" Tang Tian gestured and expressed her gratitude to Xiao Jiuyue again and again. At the same time, when Mrs. Tang saw Xiao Jiuyue, she praised her as a heroine, and praised her for her good looks and good character!
After hearing this, Xiao Jiuyue subconsciously looked at her grandmother. Although her grandmother had a smile on her face and responded to Mrs. Tang's words modestly, she could feel her grandmother's anger and worry.
