Don't ask her why she learned the erhu; just say it's a national treasure and that she simply loves it.
Wang Feifei said, "Miss Cheng Yi would also like to play a duet with us, is that alright?"
He Jing smiled and said, "Okay."
Wang Feifei was finally completely relieved. She sent someone to tell Cheng Yi to come up, and then decided to say to herself, "Then I'll do something simple, like playing the piano."
Piano playing is an essential skill for almost all socialites; anyone with hands can play a few notes.
Wang Feifei chose a simple piece. She didn't know if He Jing could play it, or if her playing would match her piano playing, but she decided to play it as slowly as possible.
Therefore, Cheng Yi's guzheng should be fine.
As Cheng Yi slowly stepped onto the stage, a commotion erupted in the banquet hall.
This... the heiress of Liuxin Jewelry is up to something!
Ye Shuping, who was standing below the stage, changed her expression drastically. She slammed down her wine glass, both angry and anxious.
Cheng Yi wanted to make things difficult for He Jing without even consulting her. What if He Jing ends up shooting herself in the foot? Where would the Cheng family's reputation be then?
He Chen remained expressionless and ate a strawberry with a smile.
He asked Shen Qiuyu in a gentle tone, "Jingjing, what instrument are you best at?"
Shen Qiuyu hesitated and said, "It should be... a piano, right? Almost everyone can play this, and Sister Jing must play it the best."
He Chen focused his mind on imagining He Jing playing the piano, and his thin lips curled up even more.
Shen Fu didn't know what level of strength He Jing possessed, but he heard He Jing's name from Shen Qiuyu's mouth eight hundred times a day, so he thought He Jing must be very powerful.
Others present also speculated: "The real and fake heiresses are coming on stage together, are they going to play a four-hand piano duet?"
If that's the case, then it's easy to see who's more skilled.
“The fake heiress has lived in the Cheng family for so many years and has been practicing the piano since she was a child. She must be better than the real heiress.”
“You’re wrong about that. Playing the piano also depends on talent. There are many keys on a piano, and you can make a sound with any of them, but the fake heiress has never won any awards in terms of talent, while the real heiress received a bunch of certificates as soon as she returned to the Cheng family.”
"Have you seen the video of the real heiress dancing? She even received praise from a famous dancer. A person with a flexible body must also have very coordinated limbs. The real heiress is definitely more talented than the fake heiress."
I think so too.
...
Although neither of them has ever performed publicly, and their talents and abilities remain a mystery, it doesn't stop people from casting their own votes for the one they believe will win.
However--
Cheng Yi sat in front of the guzheng, while He Jing picked up an erhu.
The guzheng is fine, since it's popular with people of all ages, but what the heck is the erhu?
The public's impression of the erhu is still based on "Erquan Yingyue" and the blind musician Abing. When they saw He Jing holding an erhu, they almost thought that He Jing was going to put on a blindfold and play "Erquan Yingyue" for them.
Shen Qiuyu was so startled that she dropped the strawberries, and sighed with relief, "Thank goodness it wasn't a suona."
Otherwise, the people in the banquet hall might not receive a good reception.
He Chen was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Jingjing is getting better and better at having fun."
Is there anything she couldn't think of?
Shen Fu, a lover of traditional Chinese music, said: "What's wrong with the suona? The suona silences all birds."
Ye Shuping felt ashamed, utterly humiliated. Even though He Jing was her former daughter, she couldn't stand seeing her playing the erhu on stage like a beggar.
She even felt that He Jing was doing it on purpose!
