On weekends, Yang Jingxing still went to the conservatory. The two professors seem to have agreed that He Hongchui will occupy Saturday morning and give Li Yingzhen the rest of the time.

He Hongchui's new task for Yang Jingxing was to write melodies, monophonic instrumental melodies, which of course were pianos.

Li Yingzhen is also supervising Chopin's first piano concerto, which is also the first concerto for Yang Jingxing's formal training. In the first movement, the solemn Adagio E minor seemed to be really not in line with Yang Jingxing's character, and he practiced for several days.

Li Yingzhen scolded: "Many listeners regard this piece as a touchstone for a performer, romantic, sad, and beautiful...... You don't have Chopin's temperament at all!"

Zhang Chujia couldn't help it: "Why do you always like to break the rhythm, are you too bold?"

Yang Jingxing hehe: "This is my own understanding. ”

Li Yingzhen was furious: "Can you understand "Notre Dame de Paris" as a comedy?

On Monday, the results of the midterm exams came out. Yang Jingxing scored 106 points in Chinese, 124 in mathematics, 126 in English, 132 in physics, and 21 in general. With an overall score of 509, he ranked tenth in his class and thirty-third in his grade.

Tao Meng Chinese 128, Mathematics 110, English 148, Physics 118, Comprehensive 26. With an overall score of 530, he ranked sixth in his class and 24th in his grade.

The teacher said that the test questions were difficult this time, and affirmed the students' efforts and achievements. Compared with before, Yang Jingxing's grades have improved slightly, and Tao Meng is a little higher.

Tao Meng helped Yang Jingxing analyze: "You didn't play well in mathematics. ”

Yang Jingxing rejoiced: "Fortunately, the language makes up for it." ”

Tao Meng also regretted his mathematics: "I shouldn't have made a mistake in that question, I didn't read it carefully...... Mathematical ideas, physical ideas, are really important. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Come on." ”

Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing, analyzed whether he was making a mistake again, and after making sure that he didn't, he was a little speechless, and nodded: "You too." ”

The midterm exams seemed to be encouraging and stimulating, and the atmosphere of learning became even more tense after that. Yang Jingxing still maintains his rhythm, taking classes, practicing, learning music theory, and trying to compose. Occasionally tease Tao Meng, and urge each other to study with her. Tao Meng seems to have adapted and no longer resents Yang Jingxing's bad jokes.

The third year of high school seems to be the first urgency and the first struggle in life. Time is hard, but it flies.

It wasn't until Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, and it was Saturday and Sunday, that there was finally a reason to relax. In fact, Friday was lively, and the students were discussing how to play, especially if their home was not in Puhai. Some people have already booked a KTV a few days ago, some people have asked for a car and are ready to go shopping, and many parents are coming to reunite.

Only Yang Jingxing rejected the kindness of a few people and prepared to spend a lonely Christmas Eve in the piano room.

Tao Meng also advised Yang Jingxing: "You have to relax yourself appropriately, Mr. Jiang also told you!"

Yang Jingxing asked, "How do you relax yourself?"

Tao Meng said seriously: "Listen to music, go home and play the piano, go to the gallery...... Sometimes snacking. ”

Yang Jingxing was angry: "You still eat snacks, you haven't given me a share!"

Tao Meng said: "I didn't eat as much as Ren Chuyu. ”

Yang Jingxing said again: "How do you guess I can relax myself?"

"Huh?" Tao Meng was interested.

Yang Jingxing said: "I was taught by others, I feel the breath gently when I relax a little, I breathe deeply when I relax when I relax, and I do both at the same time when I relax a lot." ”

Tao Meng is certainly not so stupid: "How do you breathe lightly and deeply?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I didn't understand it at first, but then he told me that this is for someone who has two nostrils. I've been practicing for three years, and I've had a little success. ”

Tao Meng smiled and looked at Yang Jingxing with disdain.

Yang Jingxing also looked at Tao Meng: "I just watch beautiful girls laugh to relax." ”

Tao Meng smiled and groaned, but took the opportunity to turn around and not let Yang Jingxing see it.

Yang Jingxing said: "Okay, I'm relaxed, I wish you a Merry Christmas first." ”

On Sunday night, Tao Meng suddenly said to Yang Jingxing: "Yang Jingxing, let me tell you a joke." ”

Yang Jingxing, who had done a lot of bad things, looked at Tao Meng with a little fear.

Tao Meng asked, "Do you want to listen?"

"Say yes. ”

Tao Meng himself laughed first, which was considered a warm-up, and then said: "Say, the beggar's wallet was stolen by a fool, the blind man saw it, the dumb man roared, the deaf man was startled, the camel stepped forward, the lame man flew up, and the hemp man said, forget it for my sake...... Hehe. "It's like she's reading poetry.

Yang Jingxing said after a while: "I've heard another version, it's not funny." ”

"How?"

"The deaf man heard the dumb man say that the blind man saw love. ”

"Ah......" Tao Meng thought for a moment, "It's not funny." ”

Christmas is over, followed by New Year's Day, and it's Sunday. Xiao Shuxia came to Puhai and took Yang Jingxing to buy him a lot of winter clothes. Because Yang Jingxing has to spend a lot of time in Puhai during this winter vacation, he will attend the tutorial classes of music theory and ear training held by the Conservatory of Music.

It stands to reason that according to Yang Jingxing's current level, there is no point in such a tutoring class, but Li Yingzhen and He Hongchui both suggested that he follow along.

Another important thing is that the head teacher told the parents that Yang Jingxing had a good learning attitude and grades in the cultural class.

This made Yang Chengyi and Xiao Shuxia have some ideas, and felt that it was a pity that such a precious son was sent to the conservatory of music like this. In case Yang Jingxing becomes an artist who does not succeed but does not give up in the future, Yang Chengyi also has a bit of a family business, but what should I do?

But no matter what, the exam of the Conservatory of Music has to be taken first, otherwise Yang Jingxing will definitely not follow.

There will be a holiday on the 13th of January, and there will be more than a week of final exams, and the students are cheering. Li Yingzhen also gave Yang Jingxing a holiday, saying that he would not have to go to the conservatory to practice the piano on the last two weekends. In fact, on the eve of the holiday, she herself was quite busy.

It was really cold during these days, and there was heating in the classroom, which made the students reluctant to go out. However, the first snow of this winter fell on the 5th of January, and it was quite heavy, so the students couldn't resist the impulse of youth and rushed out of the city to play.

Puhai's school uniform coat is a dark purple-blue tweed fabric, which is not very thick but quite fashionable, and the students also like it. A rare snow that can turn the ground white, and many people seize the opportunity to dress up and take pictures.

Tall and handsome goods like Yang Jingxing and Shao Lei are more popular with girls, and Yang Jingxing is even better.

Ren Chuyu said: "You have broad shoulders, so you look particularly stylish." ”

Yang Jingxing patted the snowflake on his shoulder: "Then don't freeze it." ”

Tao Meng was also in a good mood, taking pictures with the girls, and taking a few photos with a few boys. She really has high requirements for herself, and she uses a DSLR for her camera. She and Yang Jingxing did not take a group photo, but exchanged cameras with each other to see each other's gains.

There are a few snow photos in Yang Jingxing's small number, and then a few photos with boys, and more than a dozen photos with girls.

There are a lot of photos in Tao Meng's camera, and she also allowed Yang Jingxing to look at them, and also explained: "My grandmother's cat...... Don't look at this, scribble...... My dad took a picture of me...... My mom...... Hehe, the ...... Ah, I was afraid that I would lose it, so I took a photo. Yang Jingxing flipped to the photos that Tao Meng had taken of his manuscript.

Yang Jingxing hehe: "Xie Luxie." ”

Tao Meng was embarrassed: "It's your labor anyway." ”

On the morning of the 13th, the school was full of cars, all of whom came to pick up the children. Yang Chengyi also came, he and Xiao Shuxia went to Puhai last night to arrange Yang Jingxing's life in Puhai for the next ten days. After waiting for his son for a long time in his own Audi, Yang Chengyi had the urge to change cars.

Yang Jingxing went back to the dormitory directly after the exam, and went to meet his parents with his suitcase and guitar. On the way, I met Tao Meng and her father. Tao Meng's father looks a few years older than Yang Chengyi, and his temperament is not much better, not as tall as Yang Chengyi, but he maintains a good figure and has not seen a fortune.

Yang Jingxing took the initiative to say hello: "Hello uncle." ”

Tao Meng's father smiled enthusiastically and nodded, and looked at his daughter again.

Tao Meng said: "Classmate. ”

Yang Jingxing was interested: "See you again and have a good year." ”

The father helped his daughter and said, "You too." ”

Yang Jingxing's pre-exam tutoring class has been registered, starting on the 16th, to the 20th, two classes in the morning and afternoon every day, which are music theory and ear training. So first find a hotel near the conservatory for him to stay.

In fact, Li Yingzhen invited Yang Jingxing to live at her house, but of course Yang Jingxing didn't dare to disturb. After settling in at the hotel, the family went to lunch.

Admitted to the Conservatory of Music, after all, it is a big deal, Xiao Shuxia wants to stay in Puhai to accompany his son. But Yang Jingxing was very reluctant, which meant that as long as he had money, he was really angry.

The son is only seventeen years younger, and he has to fight hard for the future alone, Xiao Shuxia is really sad and proud, and asks her husband to put enough living security into her son's bank card.

On the weekend, the family visited a lot of places and bought a lot of things, and then Yang Chengyi and his family went home. Before Xiao Shuxia left, he really gave a thousand instructions, and one hundred and eighty people were not at ease.

Yang Chengyi was impatient: "Just tell him not to bully others!"

Yang Jingxing, who had sent his parents away, began to practice guitar after returning to the hotel. There is no way, the Conservatory of Music is also on vacation, Li Yingzhen has also gone home, and Yang Jingxing can no longer go to the North Building to practice. And he refused to go to other people's houses to disturb, so he could only count the top of this rotten guitar.

Li Yingzhen told Yang Jingxing that there are actually many places to practice the piano near the Conservatory of Music, and the most common is the kind of simple piano room rented for candidates from other places. It's the kind of partition room, a small area, and you can squeeze a single bed after putting down a domestic upright piano. It's a very popular place. There are really many people who practice the piano and have suffered a lot.

However, this kind of piano room, Li Yingzhen guessed that Yang Jingxing couldn't stand it. The kind of hotel room with piano configuration is not bad, but Yang Chengyi is not generous to that extent.

Yang Jingxing also had to call Lu Lin and apologize. At this time in previous years, the brothers had been doing nonsense together.

Lu Lin's first reaction was: "Faint!" and then asked Yang Jingxing about his specific plan, and expressed his blessing after the last.

Xu Wei's first reaction was: "Ah...... Great!"

Zhang Yang's first reaction was: "Watermelon, chicken feathers!"

Du Ling called by herself: "You are engaged in watermelons! What kind of conservatory are you going to!"

On the morning of the 16th, Yang Jingxing went to the Conservatory of Music to attend classes. At this time, Hu Yiqing couldn't follow, so he made a phone call to care.

I thought that no one would come to this kind of class, but when I looked at it, I found that this tutorial class was really lively, with a class of thirty people, and three or four at the same time.

When I went to class, I found that the tutoring class is really a powerful tool for exam-oriented education. The test questions are all-for-tat, even if you have never touched music theory, as long as you come to these ten lessons well, it is estimated that there will be no problem with the exam.

And there must be a few people in a classroom who are competitors. The Conservatory of Music has not expanded its enrollment, and each major accepts so many people. Every year, thousands of people apply for the exam, and only three or four hundred people can finally enter the school gate. The cruelest thing is that the vast majority of these thousands of people have worked hard to prepare for a long time.

It is inevitable that everyone will secretly observe each other. Looking at Yang Jingxing's bird-like appearance, most of them were admitted to the modern department. You see, the people who listen to the lecture basically have a voice recorder, but he doesn't even have a pencil.

After the morning class, a large group of people walked out of the gate of the conservatory in the cold wind and went their separate ways. Yang Jingxing is really unprofessional, and only at this time did he look for a small advertisement for the rental of the piano room on the billboard. I feel that his hands are itchy if he doesn't touch the piano for a day, but in fact, with his current skills, although he was scolded upside down by Li Yingzhen, it is really no problem to take the piano department.

Yang Jingxing first went to see the situation of the first piano room. It's pretty good, although it's also a small room, but the sound insulation is good, and the piano is not very bad. And there are no beds here, no accommodation is provided, and the sanitary conditions are OK.

However, all the pianos here were actually packed by others all night, and only two pianos were still free for a few hours in the afternoon. Classes are coming up in the afternoon!

Yang Jingxing walked a long distance and found a second one. This is the kind with a bed. The hostess welcomed Yang Jingxing very much, saying that there was just one room that had not been rented out, and it was a hundred yuan a day. These poor young people who are still struggling on the road of art are really inhumane.

Yang Jingxing bargained without relenting, saying that he only practiced during the day and did not need accommodation. In the end, it was negotiated for sixty-one days.

It is about a large room of about 100 square meters, divided into eight small rooms with a corridor, and a shared bathroom. Of course, Yang Jingxing, who was the most reliant, was unlucky, so he could only use the one near the bathroom.

The piano is also poor, although the tone is accurate, but the timbre is not flattering, and you can only sit on a single bed to play. The surrounding sound insulation effect is not good, and the sound of the piano is around the beam, all day long.

Sending off the landlord with today's rent and closing the small door that was virtually empty, Yang Jingxing sat in front of the piano and felt that he would play the first movement of "Pathos" first.

Two minutes after his piano sounded, the surrounding houses fell silent. Yang Jingxing is not afraid of leaking military planes, and continues to play him, and hopes that those people can learn and motivate. Anyway, except for him, most of the people here are struggling towards the piano department.

After practicing the piano for so long, I can finally find a sense of superiority.

Yang Jingxing Beethoven for an hour, and Chopin for an hour. And it's pure nonsense, looking for the perception and comprehension of music in the nonsense. If you want to play according to Li Yingzhen's request, it will affect the mood of the neighbors too much.

Look at the time, I have to go to the afternoon class. Yang Jingxing opened the door and went out, and the people in the room diagonally opposite were also coming out, a girl who was white and beautiful, wearing a down jacket and jeans.
