"What?"
Xia Yu suddenly felt something was not right. His performance was at a professional level, and Ms. Lin had only learned it for a few days, yet she could achieve such results?
"Don't believe it? I didn't believe it at first either, but your mother really has a talent for it. The songs she plays are all very nice."
Old Xia explained again, it didn’t seem like he was flattering, could it be true?
"You little brat, I gave birth to you. I gave you that artistic talent!"
Seeing her son like this, Ms. Lin, who was originally a little proud, couldn't stand it anymore. So what if he was a billionaire? He was still her son, right?
"Yes, yes, yes, Mom, don't be angry. I just think it's magical. How about you play a song for us after dinner to open our eyes?"
Xia Yu immediately admitted defeat, and at the same time he really wanted to see how good his mother was.
"Okay, I'll play you my best song."
Lin Shuqin was not afraid either. After all, she really could do it and was really good at it.
Although there were some minor setbacks at the beginning, the family still finished the dinner happily. They did not rush to clean up the pots and pans, and the family of three gathered in a tea room that was converted from the master bedroom study.
The Song Dynasty guqin that Xia Yu bought for Lin Shuqin is placed here. Listening to tunes and sipping tea, his life is so leisurely. Unfortunately, the new tea from the mountain is not on the market yet, and his mother is not his guqin player.
Lin Shuqin took a deep breath, sat down in front of the piano table, and stroked the piano with both hands. The sound of the strings stirred Xia Yu's arms, and goose bumps instantly appeared on his arms.
Is this the sound worth more than 3 million RMB?
No, art can be marked with a price, but it cannot be measured by money. Although this guqin is nameless, its tone is excellent. Just a few notes seem to bring people back to that period of history.
Lin Shuqin pressed the strings with her left hand and plucked them with her right hand, and the song "Yangguan Sandie" came out gracefully. The scene of "Sending Yuan Er to Anxi" instantly emerged in Xia Yu's mind.
"The morning rain has cleared the dust from Weicheng, and the green willows in the guesthouse are fresh and new. I urge you to drink another cup of wine, for there will be no friends west of Yangguan."
As a beginner, he did not understand the meaning of the poem, but the music composed based on the poem instantly brought him into that mood.
What great stuff! There’s a reason why music, chess, calligraphy and painting have been passed down to this day, but my mom’s playing is just too good, isn’t it?
They went to Hong Kong last month and returned to Shanghai in the middle of the month. Lin Shuqin had only been exposed to the guqin for more than a month, but her playing level of "Yangguan Sandie" was in no way inferior to those enthusiasts who had studied for several years.
Xia Yu did not deny that there was an equipment bonus, but Ms. Lin had already broken through the first level of "skill" and reached the second level of "art", which was very remarkable.
The guqin is an instrument that is easy to learn but difficult to master. If you can master the skills, you have already entered the door. However, if you lack understanding, you may never make a breakthrough in your lifetime.
After practicing the piano for more than a month, Lin Shuqin's piano skills are definitely not as proficient as those of the old pianists, but she can break through the limitations of her skills and reach the level of art, which shows her high level of comprehension. There is indeed a lot of musical talent in their family.
"It's okay!"
When the song ended, Lin Shuqin looked up and asked her son.
"Okay, that's great, Mom, you really gave me a big surprise. Let's bring the piano on New Year's Day and let my friends see it."
Xia Yu said excitedly.
Since my mother has this talent, she naturally wants to show it off. This shows that their family is not only rich, but also very stylish.
As for the super rich, no matter how much money you have, you are still a nouveau riche if you don’t have some background. People just want to be friends with you, take advantage of you, and maybe even mock you in their hearts.
Xia Yu didn't want to be such a sucker, so he has been improving his own and his family's taste. This guitar was bought by him for his mother. She was not very willing at that time, but now she really likes it.
"This, this is not good. I have never performed in front of others before."
The fearless Lin Shuqin was a little hesitant at this time. She had always practiced on her own and had performed in front of Lao Xia and his son at most. She had also performed with the chickens and ducks at the base, but that was just to make them taste better.
"Mom, what's the big deal? When I first appeared on the scene, I faced thousands of people. I didn't show any fear at all. You can just treat them as carrot heads."
Xia Yu cheered up his mother, and Old Xia also gave an assist at this time.
"Yes, Shuqin, I'm clumsy and can't learn it. Your Lao Lin has good genes in this area. If you perform once, people will probably envy our Xiaoyu!"
How can I not be envious? People say that there is only one good mother in the world, but when I grow up, I find that other people’s mothers are still better.
"Okay then. I'll practice two more new songs in the next two days."
Lin Shuqin finally agreed. She didn't feel anything about the guqin at first, but the more she practiced, the better she felt about it. Now she really likes this instrument.
Middle-aged people don’t have much entertainment and leisure time. They either watch TV or play with their mobile phones. She doesn’t like square dancing, so she has never had any hobbies. But now it’s different. She has found her own hobby.
A few days passed in a flash, and on the morning of January 1, 2019, the family of three was ready.
They got up early and everyone put on formal clothes. Lin Shuqin also dressed up a little and put on the emerald bracelet that Xia Yu bought for her.
Lao Xia wore a suit and a windbreaker, with a Patek Philippe 3979 watch on his wrist. He put some hair wax on his head, which was rare, and combed his hair into a classic slicked-back style.
Not to mention Xia Yu, he looks so handsome in whatever he wears. They carried an 80% full rice bucket, a 70% full water bucket, a guqin and some miscellaneous things, and went down the mountain together to the helicopter.
Xia Yu first asked his parents to go to the rear cabin, and then he walked around the helicopter, checked the condition of the aircraft, and then entered the cockpit.
