Ye Shuping called a waiter and asked him to pass on a message to He Jing, asking her to come down. However, He Jing just sat on the stage and glanced at her indifferently, ignoring her.
Ye Shuping gritted her teeth in anger and shouted, "You worthless piece of trash!"
She learned so many musical instruments at the Cheng family's house—piano, harp, cello, violin… Of all the things she could do, she had to play the erhu. She just wanted to get revenge on her because she saw her there.
Her group of wealthy girlfriends were also amused, gloating, "She really pulled it on; she's finished now."
When the entire venue is filled with the sound of sawing wood, everyone will know that He Jing is terrible at playing musical instruments.
Cheng Yi, who plays heavenly music, will become the focus of everyone's attention, and her mother and brother will be impressed by her excellence.
Wang Feifei sat down in front of the grand piano and said, "Let's begin."
Immediately, the entire audience held their breath, anticipating this duel between the real and fake heiresses... no, it would be more accurate to call it a bloodbath than a duel.
A classical piece combining Chinese and Western elements slowly began to play.
As the hostess of the banquet, Wang Feifei naturally started the event first, followed by Cheng Yi's guzheng. The clear and melodious piano music, accompanied by the lingering guzheng music, filled the entire venue.
It must be said that Cheng Yi's skill level was excellent. She plucked the strings methodically, and her playing was perfectly coordinated with Wang Feifei's.
Her guzheng playing neither overshadows nor dims the music; the combination of the two different sounds creates a more serene and ethereal quality than the original, with a touch of tender emotion.
He Jing's erhu performance was delayed.
Wang Feifei and Cheng Yi played a five-minute piece for a minute and a half, while He Jing remained seated, unmoved.
Wang Feifei started to panic. Could it be that He Jing doesn't know how to play the erhu?
The audience below couldn't help but show surprised expressions one after another. They thought He Jing would pull him, but seeing this situation, it seemed... she wouldn't?
Shen Qiuyu nervously grabbed Shen Fu's arm, and Shen Fu endured the pain, saying, "Sister, be gentle."
He actually suggested she pinch her own arm.
He Chen, however, was in no hurry. He was waiting for He Jing to demonstrate her skills. If He Jing didn't know how, she definitely wouldn't go on stage.
Ye Shuping was so angry that she couldn't speak at all. She could almost hear what others would say about the Cheng family after this ensemble. Outsiders would say that the Cheng family mistreated their fake daughter so much that they wouldn't even let her learn an instrument, and that the fake daughter couldn't utter a sound on stage for a long time.
Just as Wang Feifei was getting anxious and kept glancing sideways, hoping that He Jing would make a move so that she herself would play a few wrong notes, He Jing finally made a move as she wished.
The erhu's "hum" sound, like a vibrant spring, breaks the monotony of the piano and guzheng, elevating the entire piece to an extraordinary level. The unique sound of the erhu instantly becomes the dominant force in the entire piece.
He Jing did not do this intentionally. She listened for a minute and a half before she noticed the problem between the two. Since it was a duet, she had to make up for their shortcomings.
Driven by the erhu's high-pitched and vigorous melody, all the romantic sentiments of nature are transformed into the rolling Yellow River, and all the melancholy of autumn and spring are transformed into the vast ocean of stars. This is a piece that retains the charm of the original but has been given new life, making it refreshing and delightful.
Everyone was amazed. The erhu could not only produce such a sorrowful tone as "Moon Reflected in the Second Spring," but also such a grand melody. Is this the true charm of a national treasure?
Yes, it is!
