Chapter 107

The sun shone into the room through the tulle curtains, and an elegant large triangular performance-level piano stood quietly in the room, and moving music was coming from there.

Jian'er walked over gently, afraid of disturbing the person who was intoxicated by music.

In the shining sunlight, a lady in a snow-white dress was sitting gracefully in front of the piano. Her slightly undulating arms were lifted and fell, and her slender fingertips gently stroked the keys, bringing up a series of moving notes.

Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata"! Jian'er suddenly heard it. These are the few Beethoven's songs that Jian'er likes. Although Beethoven's music collection has achieved classical music, it also opened up the path of music in romantic periods, played an important role in the exhibition of world music and was respected by later generations as the "Saint of Music". However, Jian'er did not like his music very much, because the emotional conflicts in Beethoven's music were too strong, which was not loved by Jian'er. But this "Moonlight Sonata" is an exception.

Especially the first music chapter of "Moonlight Sonata", its emotions are extremely rich, with meditation tenderness, sad chanting, and dark premonition. Although the accompaniment, theme and strength do not change much, the author's heartstrings delicately through the changes in harmony, sound area and rhythm. It has a dream-like improvisational nature, delicate and quiet, and a little melancholy. Although it is the simplest of the three pleasures of "Moonlight Sonata", it is Jian'er's favorite. In order to better appreciate this song she likes, Jian'er also specially checked the background information related to "Moonlight Sonata".

"Moonlight Sonata" was not called this name from the beginning. It was written by Beethoven in 18o1, also known as "The Fourteenth Piano Sonata" and "The Sonata in #c minor". Beethoven dedicated its title to his first lover Juliet Kichardie. At that time, they had broken up, and the broken heart and ear disease brought great pain to Beethoven, and the work was created under this situation. The reason why it was named "Moonlight Sonata" was because the German poet Leershtabo said after listening to the first happy ending, "This song made me think of the bright moonlight on Lake Lucerne, Switzerland", and the publisher named the work "Moonlight".

Beethoven himself named the song "Fantasy Sonata" because it is full of the author's fantasy and exploration of production. Moreover, the structure of the work is also full of freedom and improvisation. This sonata also has a moving story.

According to legend, one autumn, Beethoven went to various places for a trip and performed, and came to a small town by the Rhine River. One night, he was walking on a quiet path and heard the intermittent piano sounds coming from a hut, playing his songs.

When Beethoven approached the hut, the sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and someone was talking in the room. A girl said, "How difficult this song is! I only heard others play it a few times. I can't remember how to play it. If I could listen to how Beethoven played it himself, how good it would be!" A man said, "Yes, but the ticket to the concert is too expensive, and we are too poor." The girl said, "Brother, don't be sad. I'll just talk casually."

When Beethoven heard this, he pushed open the door and walked in gently. A candle was lit in the hut. Under the faint light of candlelight, the man was making leather shoes. There was an old piano in front of the window, and a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old sat in front of her. Her face was very beautiful, but her eyes were blind.

The shoemaker saw a stranger coming in and stood up and asked, "Sir, who are you looking for? Did you go to the wrong door?" Beethoven said, "No. I'm here to play a song for this girl."

The girl quickly stood up and gave up her seat. Beethoven sat in front of the piano and played the song that the blind girl had just played. The blind girl was fascinated by the song. After the song was over, she said excitedly: "How skillful you play! How deep is the relationship! You, are you Mr. Beethoven?"...

Beethoven did not answer. He asked the blind girl: "Do you like to listen? I'll play it for you."

A gust of wind blew out the candle. The moonlight shone into the window, and everything in the hut seemed to be covered with silver gauze, which seemed to be particularly quiet. Beethoven looked at the brother and sister standing beside him, and pressed the keys with the quiet moonlight.

The shoemaker listened quietly. He seemed to face the sea, and the moonlight was rising from where the water and the sky met. The rippling sea surface was filled with silver light in an instant. The moon was rising higher and higher, passing through wisps of veil-like clouds. Suddenly, a strong wind blew on the sea surface, rolling up huge waves. The waves shining sharply by the moonlight rushed towards the shore one by one... The shoemaker looked at her sister, and the moonlight was shining on her quiet face, and shining her wide open eyes. She seemed to have seen it, and saw the scene she had never seen before, the turbulent sea under the moonlight.

The brother and sister were intoxicated by the wonderful sound of the piano. When they woke up, Beethoven had already left the hut. He ran back to the inn and spent a night recording the song he had just played, "Moonlight Song".

Jian'er sat gently on the stool beside her, put her hands gently on her legs, and narrowed her eyes and enjoyed her favorite music with a smile.

When the music slowly dissipated, Jian'er could not come back to her senses for a long time.

When Jian'er opened her eyes, she saw Jinxiu's mother looking at her with a smile. Jian'er's face turned red and she felt very embarrassed about her loss of composure.

Seeing Jian'er's appearance, Jinxiu's mother was happy. This girl was still so straightforward and cute. Recently, she also heard from her daughter that Jian'er had been doing good things during this period, and she had made several fortunes in succession. She was still worried that this girl would not be able to bear it, and her heart would rise up. Now she seemed to be in vain. This girl was still the same, no wonder she liked her.

Looking at Jinxiu's mother's smile, Jian'er couldn't help but blush and shouted in protest: "Aunt Yang!"

This scream made Jinxiu's mother unable to help laughing anymore. Jian'er's face slowly turned red from her cheeks to her ears before she could stop.

However, Jian'er's behavior made Jinxiu's mother determined, and just as her old man was there, she simply mentioned her thoughts.

Thinking of this, Jinxiu's mother couldn't help but say directly: "Little Jian'er, how do you think your aunt treats you?"

"It's great!" Hearing Jinxiu's mother's question, Jian'er couldn't help but be careful, her waist was straightened, and her sitting posture changed from the original free and relaxed to the standard etiquette sitting posture. Her face subconsciously brought the standard lady smile that Lu Wang had finally raised under the intensive training during this period.

In fact, it’s really not to blame Jian’er for reacting so much, because in terms of Jian’er’s experience, this is really not a good thing, because every time Jinxiu’s mother said this before, the next sentence is usually “Since my aunt is so good to you, it’s okay for the aunt to ask you for a little help?” Then Jian’er became the sandwich biscuit between the two mothers and daughters fighting.

But Jian'er really couldn't say with a conscience that Jinxiu's mother was not good to her, because if Jian'er hadn't known that Jinxiu's mother was not her own mother, and with Jinxiu's mother's attitude towards Jian'er and care for anyone would have said that she was a good mother who loved her daughter very much. In Jinxiu's mother, Jian'er could feel the deep maternal love, and at the same time she felt a kind of sisterly affection in Jinxiu. So although this "sandwich biscuit" was really hard to be, Jian'er still accepted this difficult job.

Looking at Jian'er's appearance, Jinxiu's mother couldn't help but feel secretly happy. She couldn't blame her bad taste, because every time she said this, Jian'er's expression was so loving. Especially when Jian'er turned into "lubricant" and turned around, both mother and daughter couldn't help but be happy. In fact, although Jinxiu's mother looked like a tender little woman in the water town of Jiangnan, Jinxiu and her daughter were very similar in temperament, and they could only be described in one word, that is "stubborn"! Although she knew that the other party was for her own good and did this for her own sake, understanding was the same thing, and it was impossible to do it...

Every time, as long as the two have different opinions, in the words of Jinxiu's father, it is "two stubborn cows in the family have met again." At this time, Jian'er's role as "lubricant" is very important, because she has made a good buffer for the two mothers and daughters in the middle. If it weren't for her, the two mothers and daughters would have been thunderous.

What? You ask Jinxiu's father why he doesn't act as a "lubricant"? Just kidding! For men who are modern standard "wife slaves" and "female controls", they can't afford to hurt the two most important women in their lives. As long as he goes up, no matter who says, as "wife slaves" and "female controls", he will only say "right!" as "wife slaves" and "female controls", which leads to the final result not only failing to ease the conflict. Instead, it becomes a big target for the two mothers and daughters to target, making the two more popular.

"Don't worry! This time it's not Jinxiu's business." Seeing Jian'er like this, Jinxiu's mother couldn't help but be happy.

With a dry smile, Jian'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Isn't it good!

Looking at Jian'er's eyes suddenly became soft, Jinxiu's mother said, "Jian girl, today is my aunt's birthday. Can you get a birthday gift from you?"

Birthday gift? Of course there is no problem! Unlocking the zipper of the bag, Jian'er wanted to take out the gift she had prepared long ago. I believe Jinxiu's mother would like this gift.

At this time, one hand was pressed on Jian'er's hand. Jian'er raised her head and looked at Jinxiu's mother in confusion. Didn't she ask for a gift? Why did she stop her from letting her take it?

Shaking his head gently, Jinxiu's mother said, "This gift is only for you to say a word." He stretched out his hand, Jinxiu's mother gently hung Jian'er's head scattered on his cheeks behind his ears, "Call me "Mom!"

Jian'er opened her mouth wide, unable to believe what she heard! In fact, Jinxiu's mother said this before, but Jian'er always listened to it as a joke. After all, her best friend's mother usually talks about her daughter. Jian'er never took it seriously. She didn't expect that Jinxiu's mother would mention it so carefully at this time. This time, Jian'er really didn't regard this sentence as a joke anymore.

"Auntie, your..." Jian'er didn't know how to express her feelings in words.
