Chapter 29 The First Reversal
The hardships that Qi Xiubai endured and paid in order to rise step by step to the position of Grand Secretary are unimaginable to ordinary people.
It was after understanding this that Chu Yunshu gradually let down his guard in the face of Qi Xiubai's care and concern. However, he did not expect that these would later become opportunities for Qi Xiubai to betray and exploit him. In a fit of rage, Chu Yunshu killed Qi Xiubai with his own hands.
later......
What happened afterwards became very vague in Chu Yunshu's memory. He no longer remembered what state or mood he was in after killing Qi Xiubai.
It must be a hard feeling, because the only friend in your life died by your own sword.
In fact, Chu Yunshu is in good health now. He doesn’t have the piercing pain on the 15th of every month, nor is he so afraid of the cold.
It’s just that the memories of the past were too deep, so deep that even if he changed his body, he would still be afraid of the cold.
So after some struggle, he chose to play the piano.
The guzheng has been brought out, and the guzheng teacher has also come along.
This guzheng was borrowed from the Nancheng Guzheng Association. Because the program team wanted to use it to promote the guzheng culture, the person in charge of the association readily agreed and borrowed a better one from the association.
The teacher who came was also from the association. She originally thought that she would be the one to play the guzheng, but now it had to be given to someone who looked dirty and couldn't play it. She couldn't control her expression at all, and the disgust on her face could not be concealed at all.
"Are you sure you can play it? Don't damage the guzheng." She had confirmed this with the staff many times later. The staff also explained to her why the guzheng should be given to Chu Yunshu to play, and promised to help her watch it. As long as Chu Yunshu didn't really know how to play it, they would ask him to stop immediately.
I will never let Chu Yunshu damage the guzheng.
But she was still worried.
It’s not directed at Chu Yunshu, but I’m not confident about the entire program team.
Chu Yunshu could understand that people who love the guqin were like this, but he had lost his patience after being questioned for so long, so he said nonchalantly while wrapping his guqin nails, "I'm sure I can."
Perhaps because he was very skilled at wrapping the guzheng nails, the guzheng teacher did not ask any more questions.
In the Southern Yu Dynasty, guzheng nails were not often used when playing the guzheng. The guzheng at that time used silk strings, which were relatively soft. Unlike today, which use nylon steel strings, not using guzheng nails would easily hurt the player's nails, and it would also be difficult to produce good speed and sound quality.
Chu Yunshu's nails were relatively thin and easy to break, so even in the Nanyu Dynasty, he would use guzheng nails, but he usually used artificial nails made of natural materials such as crane feathers and deer antlers.
But they are all Guzheng nails, so it doesn’t matter, so the nails I use now are also quick to put on.
[Wait, could he really do that?] 】
[Can you tell whether you know how to play the guzheng just by wearing guzheng nails? 】
[Don't say it, I can really tell. At least I can tell that he wears it often. 】
【Will you be able to do it if you wear it often? My younger brother has studied for three years. He is not good at other things but is very skilled at playing the guzheng. But as soon as he starts playing, my mother feels bad for the tuition she has paid for him over the past three years. 】
[It’s already like this, and you still let him continue studying? 】
[If you don't have the talent for something, there's really no need to waste your money. 】
[But why do I feel that Chu Yunshu can do it? 】
While the discussion was still going on in the barrage, Chu Yunshu had already sat down in front of the guzheng. He plucked the string casually to test the sound.
With just this one action, the Guzheng teacher who followed her stepped aside. The anxiety on her face disappeared, replaced by full of expectations.
[Okay, there is no doubt about it, Chu Yunshu can definitely play the guzheng. 】
How did you know? Can we be sure that he can play it just with those two strokes? 】
[Without saying anything else, just look at the way he sits and the two times he tests the sound. Guzheng scholars can tell you that he just can do it. 】
[Being able to play and being good at playing are two different things. There are many people in the entertainment industry who set up the image of being a top student and a talented person, but many of them fail in the end. 】
[I’m dying of laughter. Has Chu Yunshu been established?] Didn't he just say he would from beginning to end? 】
[Yes, he said he could, but it would be embarrassing if he couldn’t play a decent piece of music later. Okay, I'll wait and see the joke. 】
[He hasn’t even started playing yet, how do you know he can’t do it? Are you still waiting to see me make a fool of myself? If you can do it, then go ahead and do it. 】
That's how the Internet is, there are always people who argue with you no matter where you are.
Perhaps there were too many insults directed at Chu Yunshu, and some people began to speak up to defend him.
But soon, the barrage of comments died down, because just as they were arguing, elegant and melodious music came from the live broadcast room. The unique music seemed to tell an ancient story deep in people's hearts.
This was a piece of music that even guzheng scholars had never heard of. The melody was clear and melodious. It seemed as if butterflies were dancing on Chu Yunshu's slender fingertips. The plucked strings seemed to have life, and every sound bloomed an orchid, quietly opening in the ethereal valley.
The scene was extremely quiet; even Director Qian, who had been scolding Chu Yunshu, fell silent.
After the song ended, everyone was still immersed in the music that was both simple and elegant as well as clear and bright.
The busy life and work were paused at this moment, and everyone got a moment of tranquility and spiritual comfort from the ancient music.
"Pa pa pa pa" some people started clapping, and soon more people followed suit. Excitement could be seen on almost everyone's face, and Xiaoyou was the most excited. Her eyes were even filled with tears, and when Chu Yunshu looked at her, the tears poured out in an instant.
She gave Chu Yunshu a thumbs up. She knew that Chu Yunshu would make a comeback one day, but she didn't expect that day to come so soon. On the first day of the program recording, in the first game session, Chu Yunshu could bring about such a big reversal. It was such a surprise.
There is also a very excited person who has already taken practical action.
By the time everyone came to their senses, the guzheng teacher had already rushed to Chu Yunshu. He did not look down on Chu Yunshu or even despise him as he did at the beginning.
Her cheeks turned slightly red - because she was too excited: "Xiao Chu, right? I just heard them call you Xiao Chu."
She reached out to grab Chu Yunshu's hand, but Chu Yunshu dodged her. She quickly said, "Sorry, I'm just too excited. Can you tell me the name of the song you just played?"
This teacher is actually obsessed with the guzheng. She is very interested in anything related to the guzheng. She also cherishes the guzhengs in the association very much and hates to see anyone destroying the guzheng.
That's why she was so disgusted with Chu Yunshu at the beginning, who seemed to have no idea how to play the guzheng. But now, facing Chu Yunshu, she felt like she had found a treasure.
