Chapter 121 After spending good time together, the beauty walked away. Chen Yao was in a bad mood. He jumped and cursed at the backs of Ruth, Ke Han and Liu San. Then, he angrily asked for another girl and hugged Chao.
Walk upstairs
Chen Yao is the direct grandson of the Marquis of Zhenbei, and is a well-known bully in Kyoto. No one dares to say "no" to what he wants, but just now he was pushed by a little inspector and fell down.
He forcefully took away Ruth, whom he had coveted for a long time, from under his nose. Because the place he came to was not too bright, he didn't bring any bodyguards to protect him. But this small oversight actually caused people to
He took advantage of the loophole and suffered a loss!
Hey, what is an inspector? Chen Yao was filled with anger. Chen Yao suddenly thought of a serious question. There was no such inspector in Dashun Dynasty. He must have been deceived? He was actually restrained by his hands and feet.
, it’s really embarrassing!
"I have to get my face back quickly. Why do I still have the heart to get married with you? Get out!" Chen Yao seemed to have taken the wrong medicine and cursed at the girl who was hugging him, "I still need money."
?You still want money these two times? I can’t kick you to death?! Get out of here!——"
The girl was so scolded by him that she was blinded, with tears and snot flowing out. Finally, she was kicked out by Chen Yao. It was not enough, and he cursed: "Please wait a little longer before negotiating the price with me. I am not just fooling you."
Just two clicks will do!”
Everyone was surprised. When Chen Yao came out, they still saw him generously giving two large-denomination banknotes to the madam Sally. He expressed his dissatisfaction and went home. He vowed to find someone.
Deal with that so-called inspector who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth.
…
In the evening, at Liu San's rented place, Ke Han couldn't resist the warm welcome. He was cleared to sit down and accepted the kneeling bows of Liu San and Ruth. He always felt a little awkward, but he still resisted the urge to leave and talked about the old things again.
Said: "I also have a wish, that is, I hope that you can grow old together, love each other forever, and live every day in harmony! Okay, you will get married soon. We are all about the same age. There is no need to be so serious right now.
, it is most important to plan the future carefully!"
After a brief silence, Ke Han said with a smile: "In my opinion, Liu San can really sell aquatic products and seafood. No matter how hard it is, you still have brute strength, so you can work as a porter at the cargo terminal."
Liu San nodded and said thoughtfully: "What you said is true, I also have such a plan!"
"Oh, come on, come on, serious things have to be done. Come on, let's have a glass of wine. I must have a glass of wine." Ke Han still likes the fun. If he really starts to have fun, there is really no formality. He is holding a pot
, poured wine for Ruth and Liu San, and blessed, "Have a son soon!"
Ruth smiled shyly and lowered her head in silence.
At this time, a burst of piano sound suddenly came from the room next door. Although it was intermittent and even had some intonation problems, it could be heard that it was a beginner's hard-working performance.
Ruth was actually attracted?! She put down the dishes and couldn't help but walked towards the room. This is another typical music expert. As long as there is music, there will be her passion and hope!
The door next door was ajar. Looking through the crack in the door, I saw a little girl sitting next to the guzheng and playing it seriously. Although her fingering was not very skilled, she was very persistent. It could be seen that her
It’s been training for a while
"You're so nervous!" Ruth couldn't help shouting.
The girl stopped and looked at Ruth blankly, her eyebrows raised, as if she didn't bother to respond.
"According to your fingering, you can actually play better!" Ruth changed her explanation, and the girl turned around silently, waiting for Ruth's explanation.
"Can you play another song for me to see?" Ruth asked kindly with a smile.
The little girl didn't say anything, but she really started playing again. It was not much different from before.
"Relaxation is the key to the guzheng playing method and an important link in the success or failure of the performance. After watching your performance just now, I can only say that you were not able to relax completely, you were still very nervous! Relaxation during the performance, specifically, is psychological,
When the relaxation of emotions and mentality reaches the level of relaxation of shoulders, arms, elbows, wrists, and fingers, the external feeling should be that the playing posture is relaxed and you seem to be very rigid. Your upper body is not naturally straight, but rigid and stiff during the performance.
, we must pay attention to the natural relaxation of the entire body to achieve the unity of self-relaxation and natural relaxation. Therefore, relaxation is the primary issue during performance and must be achieved seriously! Shoulder tension is a common problem. The movements of our shoulders, hands, and arms must be
Coordinate the wrist, fingers, and forearm to form a horizontal plane without protruding. It is appropriate to abduct the upper arm and form a 45-degree angle with the side chest wall. If the upper arm is too abducted, the elbow will be raised too high, causing tension in the upper arm! During the performance, the arm
It is necessary to relax while maintaining support in all aspects of the arm. Common problems with the wrist include wrist collapse, also known as wrist collapse. Wrist stiffness is in a state of complete muscle tension, making it difficult to flex and extend, and the hand loses its ability to move independently.
Resulting in clumsy and slow movements of the wrist and fingers. Generally, the correct hand shape is that the hand and forearm are basically in the same direction, with the wrist slightly tilted to the right. The fingers must be relaxed correctly. During performance, the fingers touch the strings. When the fingertips
When there is no contact with the strings, the fingers should hang down naturally, without any effort, and be completely relaxed." Ruth seemed to be giving music lessons to a group of children, and she spoke clearly and logically.
"Pah, pah, pah, pah!" When Ruth finished speaking, there was a burst of powerful applause, followed by a series of compliments, "Well done. It is my first time to explain a difficult-to-understand theory so thoroughly.
I heard it once! May I ask the girl where she studied? What position do you serve?"
Ruth turned around and looked back. It turned out to be an old man wearing an old gray cloth gown. As if he had discovered a treasure, he stared at Ruth without any scruples, his eyes shining.
"The little girl is bored and is just telling her what she knows. She has no other intentions. It's better for the old man not to make fun of her!" Ruth felt embarrassed when the old man stared at her. She quickly explained, and then humbly said
After giving a salute, he was about to leave
Ke Han was also curious and had already walked out. He happened to encounter the conversation between the old gentleman and Ruth. He pulled Liu San and continued: "This is my fellow countryman from Huai County, Leizhou. The person you are talking to is
This is his newly married daughter-in-law. She usually likes to sing and play music. I just listened to this little girl's performance. I was so interested that I said a few words. Don't worry too much, old man!"
"Haha, where, where?" the old man smiled happily, pointing to the girl playing the guzheng and said, "She, the three-legged cat's skills can be mastered so carefully by the lady, it is a blessing! Oh, forget about yourself
To introduce you, my name is Lao Qiu, and I am half a fellow villager like you. My ancestral home is Huai County. I am now a musician at the Great World Theater in Kyoto. The little girl is called Xiaofen. She is the daughter of a female actor in our theater. She also likes to
I just came here to play with this guzheng when I have time. If I can get the girl’s guidance for a long time, it will definitely become a great instrument!”
"Thank you, sir!" Ruth nodded and whispered, "I am new to Kyoto and am not familiar with the place. I am thankful to have a place to stay. I don't dare to expect too much!"
"You just moved here...?" Lao Qiu looked at Ruth and the two men beside her in surprise, "If you need any help, just ask, it's not easy for you all as foreigners!
So, where are you working now?"
"They have nowhere to go yet, and they are thinking about this matter," Ke Han replied, "I also came to Kyoto temporarily to do business, and I am not able to do enough, so I am worried. Not to mention these, today is their great joy.
It’s better to be happy on this day! Since we are all fellow villagers, you might as well come and join in the fun and share the joy!”
"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey!" The old man was also a straightforward person, and he did what he said. In an instant, the originally deserted small room became lively!
For many years, Lao Qiu has been renting in this small courtyard house without anyone to talk to. It can be said that he is so lonely that his balls hurt, and he is so deserted that he becomes crazy.
At this moment, Lao Qiu was so happy that he almost went crazy. But when he saw that he was carrying the crucian carp he had just bought from the market, he put it directly into the kitchen of Liu San and Ruth, and even cooked it himself.
He created his best "more than enough joy"
A few people drank a few more cups of Laobaigan. Drinking this stuff in summer is definitely quite strong!
After a while, all the men were a little dizzy, but Xiaofen shouted to go back, but Aunt Qiu hadn't come back yet. At this time, only Ruth was the most sober, so she saw her off.
Now, Xiaofen's house is not too far from here, so everyone has no objection and lets her go.
Stepping out of the small courtyard and walking to the intersection, you can see the tube building where Xiaofen's family rented.
In the evening, the alleys were full of busy people cooking on the stoves. This scene reminded Ruth very much of her childhood in her hometown in Ningbo. She always cuddled up to her mother obediently and sat there.
At the mouth of the stove, I pulled the bellows "Hula Hula", looking at the jumping flames, my face turned red. Soon, I smelled the aroma of rice. Often at this time, my father was about to go home, so at this moment
, there is often a warm and cozy feeling filling my heart, a full sense of happiness, surrounding myself, and the moment when laughter is infinitely magnified in the kind and caring eyes of my parents, how happy I am!
The past is unforgettable! At this moment, Ruth actually shed a long string of tears, and her infinite emotions were wrapped in the string of hot tears.
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Xiaofen asked Ruth puzzled and worried, "What did Xiaofen provoke you and make you angry?"
Ruth quickly wiped away her tears, shook her head with a smile, and said, "No, it's my sister who suddenly felt homesick!"
Xiaofen stared at Ruth in confusion, then took Ruth's hand and pointed in the direction of home, and said eagerly: "Xiaofen has a home, and Xiaofen's home is my sister's home!"
Ruth nodded excitedly and said, "Well, let's go home right now!"
At this moment, a black carriage rushed from behind. When it approached Ruth, it suddenly stopped.
