Chapter 67 Unworthy to Play "Sun and Moon" [2 Updates]
This is one of Vera Hall's three piano pieces, "Sun and Moon".
Composed in 1756, it is a piano sonata.
A sonata is a multi-movement musical genre, and a sonata performance usually lasts about 15-20 minutes.
Unlike other ordinary piano pieces, sonatas are more complex, requiring performers to have extremely high piano skills and strong expressiveness and tension. They are also an important tool for measuring a performer's level.
Even if you are just slightly weaker, or your physical strength is not up to par, you will not be able to play the piece smoothly.
In the world ranking of piano pieces by difficulty, "Sun and Moon" is ranked ninth.
Ying Zijing rested her chin on her hand, finished reading the musical score that Ying Luwei had presented, pondered for a moment, and then understood.
Although most of them are the same, this is not the score she wrote.
The last time she left Earth was in 1782.
Before leaving, she did not make the piano sheet music public.
It must have been that people at the time heard her concert, transcribed the sheet music, and then it was passed down.
However, since it was only based on listening, there were quite a few errors in the score.
This is why no one can play "Sun and Moon" in its entirety now, not because it's actually that difficult.
Ying Zijing thought about why she had followed those top musicians to learn piano back then. It was because music could help her relax and wash away the superficiality of life.
It's truly unexpected that after all these years, she returned to Earth, and the name she casually chose, Vera Hall, has become a well-known figure in the history of the music industry.
She even became the target of Ying Luwei's attempts to gain popularity.
Tsk.
Ying Zijing tapped on the keyboard, her expression languid.
Unfortunately, without the actual sheet music, Ying Luwei will never be able to perform "Sun and Moon" in her lifetime.
As expected, because Ying Luwei's public image has collapsed time and time again, she was immediately ridiculed by netizens after posting such a Weibo post at work.
[I can't stand it anymore! He's even playing "Sun and Moon"! Even some of the top pianists in China wouldn't dare say they could play "Sun and Moon" perfectly. What's this pretty-boy pianist up to?]
[I won't even comment on their self-promotion of a serene and peaceful life, but to claim they're the next Vera Hall—where's their shame?]
[I simply can't stand this attempt to piggyback on Vera's fame. Does Ning even have the talent and diligence? He talks about making good music, yet he's still acting all high and mighty. He should learn from Ying, who truly embodies composure.]
This angered Ying Luwei's fans.
[Upstairs, we admit that Lu Wei is far inferior to Vera, after all, they're from different centuries, but comparing an adopted daughter to her is simply unworthy. Does Ying Zijing even know how to play the piano?]
[This adopted daughter must be from the countryside, what kind of piano can she play? She's not qualified to compare herself to Luvie.]
[Brainless fans, these days even being able to play the piano is considered showing off by socialites from wealthy families, it's hopeless.]
Ying Zijing accumulated some more popular phrases before putting down her phone, casually tapping her fingers on the keyboard, and hacking a computer.
She leaned back in her chair and opened a bottle of Coke.

Across the ocean, it's still that same basement filled with instant noodle boxes.
"Pfft... Holy crap!"
Staring at the black screen, the hacker choked on his instant noodles for the third time and nearly died.
His eyes were brimming with tears; he was almost completely heartbroken.
[Sister, what's wrong now? I'm so innocent, waaaaah!]
Wasn't it just that he hacked into her computer once out of curiosity?
What kind of mess has he made?
Three letters came from the other end.
【NOK】
Upon seeing these three letters, the hacker's expression changed.
Why did you suddenly ask this?
How was he supposed to answer that?
He typed carefully.
Sister, how do you know about NOK?
This time, Ying Zijin replied with two words.
【speed. 】
"..."
A hacker stared at those two words, and a few seconds later, slapped himself in the face.
Well, my sister isn't questioning him, she's forcing him to confess.
He estimated that if he hadn't explained what NOK was today, all of his dozen or so computers would have been rendered unusable.
Then his mission fell through.
Okay, sis, I'll send the website to your computer. You can check it out there.
His computer returned to normal after he sent the message.
A hacker sighed, wondering if he should report it to the authorities.
After thinking it over, he decided not to fight.
Anyway, it's not like it's his child, let that man worry about it.
He was happy!
A hacker picked up a ramen noodle and continued eating.

The First Hospital.
Zhong Manhua rushed over: "How is the old lady?"
The housekeeper, who was waiting outside the ICU, wiped his sweat and hurriedly said, "Madam, the old lady has not yet woken up. The doctors are trying to resuscitate her."
This time, Madam Ying fainted partly because she was angry and partly because she was frightened by Grandpa Zhong.
Zhong Manhua was also quite annoyed: "Have you contacted the Imperial Hospital?"
“Miss Lu Wei just called,” the butler said. “Miss Lu Zhi’s tutor will be coming over in person.”
"That's great." Zhong Manhua breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Let's have the First Hospital stabilize the old lady's condition first."
Although Lu Zhi's mentor studied traditional Chinese medicine, his medical skills were superior to those of ordinary TCM practitioners because of his connection with the Meng family.
Zhong Manhua waited another hour before the ICU door finally opened.
Seeing the attending physician come out, Ying Luwei hurriedly went to greet him: "Doctor, how is my mother?"
"The old lady's health is indeed deteriorating." The attending physician shook his head. "The situation is not optimistic, and I suggest you prepare accordingly."
Upon hearing this, all three of them were taken aback.
Is it that serious?
"However, it's not hopeless." The attending physician pondered for a moment. "I don't know if you've heard of Shaoren Hospital?"
Zhong Manhua frowned: "Then the traditional Chinese medicine hospital?"
She had naturally heard of Shaoren Hospital; it used to be very famous.
However, with the rise of Western medicine and the gradual decline of traditional Chinese medicine, Shaoren Hospital is no longer what it used to be.
“That’s good.” The attending physician nodded. “A new doctor has arrived over there. His medical skills are extremely high. You can go and see him.”
Zhong Manhua's expression softened, and she politely declined, "Then there's no need."
Lu Zhi's mentor is coming in person. What traditional Chinese medicine in Shanghai can surpass his skills?
