Chapter 357 The saddest thing is "Liang Zhu"

After a crazy day of playing outside, the two finally returned to the longed-for courtyard in the evening. After washing off their fatigue and enjoying a wonderful and sumptuous dinner, Lin Fan and Xia Yan gathered in front of the Steinway piano in the hall.

Lin Fan flexed his fingers: "I haven't played the piano for a while, I don't know how much I've regressed."

Xia Yan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. I like all the songs you play."

But the key is, I only know that one song!

Lin Fan coughed dryly and placed his fingers on the black and white keys. The skill [Soul Musician] was activated, and a melodious, lively, romantic and dreamy "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Variations" flowed from Lin Fan's fingertips.

Xia Yan supported her small chin with one hand and listened attentively to Lin Fan's playing.

This was the first time Xia Yan heard Lin Fan play the piano live. Compared to the version of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" that was secretly filmed by fans and posted online when he first played it, Lin Fan has made great progress now.

The skills and emotions he had before were all very good, but the unfamiliar feeling of not having touched the piano for a long time had completely disappeared. It was obvious that Lin Fan had not played the piano for a long time as he said. On the contrary, Lin Fan should have practiced frequently, otherwise there would not be such obvious progress.

In the field of piano, Xia Yan is an expert! At the end of the song, Xia Yan did not hesitate to praise: "Excellent! No matter how many times I have listened to this song, you still play it with the most feeling."

Since Lin Fan released this piano piece, yes, Lin Fan also released this piano piece to the Tianlai music platform. A music platform not only has pop songs, but also a special piano music section. Lin Fan uploaded "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Variations" to this section.

Although it cannot compare to the number of downloads and revenue of popular songs, this song is still very popular in the professional field. Many students from music schools like to use it as an exercise, and many people also upload the songs they play to the Internet.

Even Xia Yan himself had played this piece of music before, but no one, including Xia Yan himself, had as good a grasp of the piece as Lin Fan, as if there was something missing inside, something that only Lin Fan knew.

As for Lin Fan, at this moment, he had something to complain about in his heart: If your entire childhood was brainwashed by the children's song "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", you would also be able to play out this feeling.

“That’s the only song I know.”

The main reason was that I had never been able to draw a suitable piano piece from the system. I didn't remember other piano pieces very well, so I couldn't show them off even if I wanted to. "Do you want to try other instruments?"

"Anything else?"

Xia Yan turned his eyes and saw another instrument on the instrument stand. "By the way, can you also play the violin?"

violin……

Lin Fan thought of the music score of "Paganini's 24 Caprices" that he had locked deep in the drawer. When he saw it, his fingers felt uncontrollable, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Of course, he could come. After all, Lin Fan still had so many system skills. If he didn't challenge playing 24 songs in a row... Well, that was too exaggerated. Let's change it - if he didn't challenge the songs with the highest difficulty, Lin Fan could still play one or two of them.

It's just that the effect can be understood by everyone.

But in addition to "24 Caprices", Lin Fan remembered that he had another violin piece, which was "Butterfly Lovers".

This piece of music can be regarded as the pinnacle of classical music. Compared with technical pieces like "24 Caprices", Lin Fan has a deeper sense of identification with this piece of music. After all, it is a work belonging to his own country.

What's more, it is one of the four major love stories in ancient folk culture.

Well, Lin Fan felt that he needed to teach Xia Yan about the four great ancient folk love stories from Earth. After all, with "A Chinese Ghost Story" as an example, Lin Fan felt that Xia Yan still liked him telling her these stories.

"I have a violin concerto called The Butterfly Lovers, or The Butterfly Lovers for short."

"The Butterfly Lovers?"

Xia Yan's eyes sparkled. "Is this the song you composed yourself?"

"Well, sort of..."

Although he had been a plagiarist for a long time, when someone asked him about it in person, Lin Fan still couldn't help feeling guilty, "This is not important. What's important is that there is a very sad and touching love story behind this song."

Hearing this, Xia Yan became even more interested: "Is it the same story as the last time, "A Chinese Ghost Story"? "

"A different story, do you want to hear it?"

"Yes!" Xia Yan nodded repeatedly.

"It is said that a long time ago, the Zhu family wanted to marry their daughter Zhu Yingtai to the governor Ma's family to consolidate the family's status. However, because Zhu Yingtai was different from other girls in society at that time, she knew nothing and had a cheerful personality. Her parents were afraid that she would not be able to get married, so they wanted to send her to a college to study for a few years. After she had knowledge, she would be able to match the status of her future in-laws in the future."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

There are too many versions of the folk story of "Liang Zhu", and many people claim that their version is the most authentic. Some even say that Liang and Zhu were not from the same dynasty. However, after verification, this statement is untenable.

So Lin Fan chose and chose, and what he told was not a traditional folk tale, but a story based on the 1994 movie "Liang Zhu".

The daughter of a high-ranking official disguised herself as a man and went out to study, where she became a classmate of the son of a poor family. The two people, who should have been like parallel lines and never intersected, were drawn together by fate, and then performed a love story of separation and death, and the vow to follow each other until death.

The boy and the girl fell in love with each other in the academy and became close friends. As their two passionate hearts grew closer, the girl's secret could no longer be hidden, and love came so unexpectedly yet so naturally.

However, this love is destined to be a tragedy.

The lovers were forcibly separated. Liang Shanbo was severely beaten by the Zhu family and forced by Zhu's mother to write a farewell letter. While writing, he spat blood on the paper and finally died of a sudden illness.

Zhu Yingtai became haggard in an instant, her tears dried up, and then she started bleeding... In the end, Zhu Yingtai agreed to get married, and her only request was that she could pass by her lover's grave on the way.

Even without the skill of [Photographic Memory], Lin Fan would never forget that scene: Zhu Yingtai, in her red wedding dress, cried until her eyes were blinded, and groped her way to her final resting place: Liang Shanbo's tomb. She threw away her phoenix crown, removed her red dress, and knelt in front of the tomb.

The heavy rain washed away the layers of rouge on her face, and restored her pure face in the academy. After a sudden earth-shaking break, the tomb collapsed, like a silent invitation, and Zhu Yingtai jumped like a frightened soul and threw herself into Liang Shanbo's arms.

In silence, the master of the academy took out the paper butterfly painted by Yingtai, peeled off the blanks bit by bit, and held it in his hand. Then he opened his palm slightly, and two gorgeous butterflies, symbolizing the spirit of love, danced in the afterglow of the sunset...
