Chapter 3 Mr. Teach the Piano
As time passes, time may pass faster. Before I knew it, nineteen years have passed since Xiao Wanli was born. Now Wanli is born at the age of nineteen and is so beautiful. Although her eyes cannot see it, her every frown and smile is enough to touch people's hearts.
Every year when camellia falls, the eldest lady followed the master to the Yutang Temple on the mountain to fulfill her wishes and pray for the younger generations at home. On such an important day, almost all the servants left the mansion and followed him up the mountain, but the eldest lady did not. Every year in early September, Li Muhong, the eldest lady of the Chu family, would use her discomfort or other reasons as a reason to stay at home, with the purpose of running to the Qingguan Temple on the hillside halfway up to secretly visit her daughter Li Wanli.
This is the most important thing she has to do in a year and the most deadly and tense moment.
The five carriages in front of the mansion left one after another. Listening to the sound of horse hooves getting farther and farther away, the eldest lady sat up from the bed, coughed gently, and made a few sounds to make sure there was no one else, so she looked out the door and called Zhu Ran's name softly.
"Madam, the carriage is waiting outside." Zhu Ran replied lightly, holding a dark red package in her hand.
The groom drove a carriage with a wine jug dripping on the rugged mountain road. In order to avoid meeting troublesome people in the process, they chose this bumpy road every year.
Sitting in the carriage, Li Muhong recalled the last time she saw her. At that time, she was sitting in the bushes behind the temple. The sun was sunny that day, with mottled shadows, and the sun shone on her face through the veil. It was a very beautiful and white face, with a beautiful and charming appearance.
For more than ten years, she has always been looking at her from afar. Perhaps because she didn't know what identity she was talking to her, she has always been standing ten steps away from her and quietly listening to the footsteps of her stepping onto the steps, and there was no more.
The journey was difficult, but fortunately the carriage finally stopped. In front of the temple gate, Zhu Ran carefully helped Li Muhong out of the carriage and knocked on the door. A Vinay opened the door. "Female donor, please invite him here." He knew Li Muhong's purpose, so he invited them directly.
Walking into the yard, there was a young monk sweeping the fallen leaves and flowers on the ground. When he saw Li Muhong, the young monk clasped his hands together and bowed slightly, "That is the monk who has been taking care of the late night since he was a child, and he is far away." Vina made a gesture to the backyard, "Please please, Mrs. Chu."
Before she could fully walk into the backyard, Li Muhong stopped straight away, and her eyes shone brightly under the trees not far away.
From afar, Li Muhong couldn't see her face clearly, but could see a red bead hanging brightly on a girl's neck and swaying slightly through the reflection of the sun.
The girl was wearing a light blue dress, and the edge of the skirt could touch the child's back foot. The girl sat on the ground, breathing warmly against a big stone behind her back. She fell asleep. This was Li Muhong Xinxin's daughter, Li Wanli, now she is nineteen years old.
Every year's encounter makes Li Muhong unable to stop crying. This feeling makes people unable to say, as if he lost something, he finally found it after losing it for a long time. He obviously met but was sad. An inexplicable sadness flowed into his heart through his eyes. He couldn't help but tremble slightly, but he was afraid that the sound would scare the night sitting next to him not far away.
Seeing that the wife was shaking slightly, Zhu Ran helped her from behind Li Muhong. It was like this every year. Zhu Ran still said nothing like before, but just accompanied Li Muhong quietly, silently keeping this secret for her by her side.
"Who in this temple is disgusted with Feng'er? After all, Feng'er's eyes..." This is a problem that Li Muhong has to worry about every year. Li Wanli in front of him was sitting beside the stone and blew a breeze. She couldn't see the sunshine, flowers and plants, but could only listen to the sound of the wind passing through the layers of leaves. This is a very boring thing. Li Muhong couldn't help but feel a little worried when she saw her so quiet.
"Xiao Wanli is one of the few girls in the temple and is cared for by all senior brothers. The female donor doesn't have to worry." Vina told her that although Li Wanli's eyes cannot see, his hearing is extremely good.
"How do you say this?" Li Muhongshen sighed, "No matter how good your hearing is, it is not as useful as a pair of eyes..."
Vina shook her head and told Li Muhong that Li Wanxi could not only feel the sound half inside and outside, but also hear the sound of slightly moving in the air.
"I don't quite understand what you mean." Li Muhong became more and more troubled as he heard it.
"Simply put, when your arms pass through the air, there will be a sound. The reason we can't hear is because our ears cannot hear such a too delicate sound, but Xiao Wanwei can not only hear it but also flexibly avoid it."
Vina looked at Li Wanwei and smiled faintly, "She no longer needs any of us to be her crutch."
After hearing Weina's words, Li Muhong felt relieved. This child was much stronger than himself, at least he would not be afraid of escaping reality just like himself.
God took away her eyes but gave her a pair of useful ears. This was the greatest gift to her. Thinking of this, Li Muhong felt a little joy in his heart, "If possible, I hope she can live in the temple all the time. She can't see it and will not want to go to a farther and wider place..."
"The female donor was surprised. Although the child could not see the little girl in the temple, he could feel it. Although she had no eyes, she still had a heart that could feel everything in the world. When she became an adult, we will respect her choice."
"I understand..." Li Muhong's eyes were always inseparable from the girl under the tree. She looked at her and smiled slightly, and asked, "Do you have any interest in Wanli?"
"Wan Li was born to be sensitive to the sound of musical instruments. There was an old guqin in the warehouse. I don't know when Wan Li was touched. I never let go after it was touched." Vina told Li Muhong regretfully, "It's a pity that the owner of the guqin passed away early, and no one in the entire temple can teach the guqin art..."
"Zhu Ran" Li Muhong summoned Zhu Ran to his side, "From tomorrow, I will find the best zither master for the evening zither, and ask him to come to the temple every three days to teach the evening zither skills." This is the second gift given by his mother, and as long as he sees her well, he will be satisfied.
Vina wanted to say something, but in the end she wanted to say something.
After the eldest lady said that, she left the temple happily.
In this way, Li Wanlu welcomed the first Qinxue teacher the day after Li Muhong left.
The taciturn little girl finally spoke after hearing the monk tell her that someone had found the best Mr. Qinyi. "Mr. Qinyi?" Wan Wei was not very happy when she heard the news. She just liked to play the guqin often to make it sound and listen to its sound. That's it.
She just wanted to listen to the crisp sound of her fingertips tapping the strings of the piano and the crisp sound of the piano body, but she didn't think about learning how to play the piano correctly. In order to respect the old man, she went there, and Nanba changed into a simple dress and was brought to the teacher.
His face was not visible in the evening, but from the smell of his body, it was definitely a smell that only the old man could have. Based on his height and his hoarse voice, this gentleman who taught the Qin was about to die of sixty years old and might be older.
"Is this the child I want to teach?" The gentleman was obviously surprised when he saw Wan Wei, "What's your name for a child?"
