Chapter 423 - Boss Qin's Talent
"That's how it should be. That's why we need to do prenatal education regularly. We can do less now, but as he grows older we need to do more so he can thrive."
Shi Feiye also gave Qin Si and Qin Bu Ru an example:
"I've read online that babies who were accustomed to listening to violin music during prenatal education wanted to learn the violin from a very young age. Later on, they became better at it than others. This is the power of prenatal education."
Qin Si and Qin Buzhu: "..."
Qin Si picked up the book again and said firmly: "Then do it. It won't take too much time and energy. We should do more."
Qin Buzhu stopped the two people and said, "Let's eat first. We'll talk after dinner."
After dinner, Qin Buzhu asked Qin Si to study and do a live broadcast, while he accompanied Shi Feiye to the study, sharing the information and materials he had found and discussing various topics such as prenatal education.
As new parents, the excitement hadn't yet worn off, and the two of them kept rambling on, their conversation rambling without a clear focus. Even Qin Buzhu, who usually spoke with his mind analyzing, lost track of logic.
"What instrument do you think we should let our child learn in the future? I don't expect him to become a musician, but if he knows a little about music, he can at least distinguish some of the differences when appreciating it, so that he won't be completely clueless and unable to even appreciate it."
Master Feiye has been thinking about this question for a long time:
"I think classical instruments are great, like the guzheng, guqin, and pipa. Forget the erhu. Every time I listen to it, I feel like crying. I don't know why. But Western instruments seem pretty good too. Pianos look so expensive, and guitars are easy for kids to play and sing on their own. It's so hard to choose."
"So, have you decided? Which one do you want her to learn?"
Qin Bulu naturally wouldn't argue with Shi Feiye on this matter, but would just give some advice:
"I know some guqin. Guqin is played for myself, while guzheng is played for others. Pipa is similar. Once you master it, other classical instruments become easier to learn. Piano and guitar are also good. Both have chords, so mastering one will make it easier to learn other Western instruments."
"Can you play the guqin?" Shi Feiye's attention was completely drawn to the first sentence.
She pouted, with a cute expression, not quite satisfied: "Why didn't I know this before? I haven't heard you play it before. You have to play it for me."
"Okay..." Qin Bulu said helplessly and dotingly.
Shi Feiye watched Qin Buzhu take out a long box from the cabinet. She quickly leaned over to take a look. Qin Buzhu opened the box and found a guqin inside.
I had only seen this thing on TV before, and the guqin their crew used was just a model. This was the first time I saw a real guqin. Shi Feiye couldn't help but reach out and touch it, feeling something very strange.
Shi Feiye had no idea what types of guqin there were, nor did she know whether a guqin was good or bad, but any guqin that Qin Buzhu collected must be of good quality. Shi Feiye was just so mindless in protecting her husband.
"What kind of zither is this?" Shi Feiye, who was sitting next to him, tilted his head with his hands and asked Qin Bulu.
As soon as he heard it, he knew that he was a little fool who didn't know how to play the guqin at all. Qin Buzhu put the guqin away and tuned it while saying:
"Common guqin styles include the Fuxi style, the Zhongni style, the Lianzhu style, the Luoxia style, the Lingji style, the Jiaoye style, the Liezi style, the Lingguan style, the Shennong style, the Xiangquan style, the Fengshi style, the Shikuang style, the Ya'e style, the Zhongli style (Heming Qiuyue qin), the Jian style, and so on. Mine is the Zhongni style."
"Oh, when did you learn to play the qin? How did you learn it?" Shi Feiye touched the surface of the qin curiously. Actually, he didn't feel anything, but he felt a little satisfied.
Qin Buzhu was so amused by her cute appearance that he wanted to hug her and kiss her, but it was not convenient at the moment, so he held back and hooked Shi Feiye's nose:
"When I was about ten, my grandfather thought I wasn't calm enough, so he asked Master Wen to teach me. I studied for about three and a half years. After Master Wen passed away, I only played occasionally on my own. But I was too busy for the past year or so, so I haven't played at all."
"Have you forgotten its existence?" Shi Feiye felt that this must be the truth.
Master Feiye had also heard of Master Wen, who was said to be the master who single-handedly brought the guqin back to prominence.
After all, this family has a rich and profound background. Grandpa Qin was able to invite this master to teach Qin Bulu. Master Feiye had even more expectations for Qin Bulu's level.
After tuning the instrument, Qin Buzhu adjusted his sitting position, gently placed his hands on the instrument, took a deep breath, and then raised his hands to start plucking the strings.
Shi Feiye didn't know if it was her filter, but just from the way he raised his hand, she felt that Qin Buzhu suddenly had a more calm and elegant gentlemanly aura.
The deep and distant voice brought Shi Feiye into another world. Shi Feiye listened attentively and gradually felt the emotions contained in the song. Later, he was moved to the point of almost crying.
After the last call was made, Qin Buzhu slowly lowered his hand. Shi Feiye clapped his hands and glanced at him:
"It was played so well, I was moved. It felt so vast and lonely. What kind of song is this?"
"This is 'Guanshanyue'." Qin Buzhu looked at Shi Feiye and suddenly smiled, "I should play another song for you."
"What song?" Shi Feiye asked curiously. What song should be played for her?
"Listen first..." Qin Buzhu pretended to be mysterious, gave her a meaningful look, and then began to pluck the strings again.
Shi Feiye felt that this piece of music was different from the previous one. It had a more cheerful feeling than the previous one, and the piano sound was clear, which made people feel better when listening to it.
After Qin Buzhu finished playing, he gently pinched Shi Feiye's ear and asked, "Did you hear what it was?"
Shi Feiye was rather confused and shook her head obediently, but she reached out and took Qin Buzhu's hand away.
This person is really something, knowing that her ears are sensitive, he still pinched her ears.
Qin Buzhu sighed helplessly and dotingly: "It's 'The Phoenix Seeks the Phoenix'."
Shi Feiye was originally glaring at Qin Buzhu angrily, but now her face suddenly became hot again. She stopped glaring and instead glanced left and right to change the subject:
"Is it the 'Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix' by Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun?"
"Yes, but I still prefer the first part. Forget the second part, it seems a bit frivolous, and their ending is not good."
"Yes, Sima Xiangru changed his mind later. If Zhuo Wenjun hadn't replied to him and made him feel ashamed, he would have taken a concubine or divorced her. Humph, it was obvious that he had been plotting against Zhuo Wenjun from the beginning, and he was trying to marry someone above his station."
