Chapter 8 The Outstanding Piano Artist of the North

The girl held the piano and watched with joy, she was silent for a long time, and her teeth were sour for a long time.

"Oh, Miss, you really know how to bargain!" Wang Shentong snatched the piano back from the girl's hand. The girl was so frightened that she took two steps back and looked at Wang Shentong in confusion.

"Two thousand!" Wang Shentong said exaggeratedly, "I really can't make money with two thousand!" paused, "But if it's two thousand, I can't give you the piano box, are you willing?"

"I do!" replied the girl, almost scrambling.

He always thought that this sounded weird.

"But," said the girl hesitantly, "I don't have any money with me......

"You wait for me," without waiting for Wang Shentong's reaction, the girl continued, "I'll give you the money tomorrow...... No, tonight, I'll go back and get it right now. ”

"Is your house close to here?" asked Wang Shentong.

"Walk for half an hour. ”

Wang Shentong and Ji Lin glanced at each other.

Wang Shentong sighed: "Forget it." ”

"Ah......" the girl panicked a little, "can't you wait an hour, if you are in a hurry to close the stall, I can run faster!" she thought that Wang Shentong was unwilling to sell it to her.

"What he means is that you can come tomorrow with the money to buy it. He explained.

The girl looked at Wang Shentong, and after getting his approval, she was so happy that her whole body lit up.

"Miss, can you tell us your name?" asked Wang Shentong.

"My name is Shen Yi!"

"My name is Wang Shentong, and this fool's name is Yilin. Wang Shentong introduced, "So, Miss Shen Yi, will you come to fetch the piano tomorrow? I'll be waiting for you here." ”

"Hmm!" Shen Yi nodded with all his strength.

"Then you should go back early, it is not safe for girls to be alone outside when it gets dark. What's more, she is so beautiful, Wang Shentong felt that this sentence might be too frivolous, so he didn't say it.

After Shen Yi left, more than a dozen people came to ask the price one after another, and a total of six pianos were sold, four of which were customers because of their worship of Yilin.

"It's not like you, and you'll do a loss-making business. On the way back, Ji Lin asked Wang Shentong, he was referring to the sale of 2,000 pianos to Shen Yi, "Like her?"

Wang Shentong suddenly stopped, looked at Ji Lin seriously, and asked him, "Do you remember the polynuclear pill I gave you on your twelfth birthday?"

Although he remembered how old he was, he didn't remember the specific date of his birthday, so Wang Shen's family took the day he met him.

"Yes. "That pill and effect, before Wang Shentong sent it to him, his father-in-law gave it to him, but Wang Shentong didn't seem to know, and he didn't debunk it.

"In order to buy that pill, I copied my father's bills day and night for more than half a month to save enough money. Wang Shentong looked up at the sky, "People who can carefully prepare gifts for children should have a happier life." ”

"Besides," Wang Shentong added, "who said that I was doing a loss-making business, I originally bought the piano for two thousand." ”

Now Wang Shentong has more than 100,000 cash in his hands, and before going to bed, he blew the cattle of his business empire to Yilin as usual, and Yilin listened casually as usual, unlike in the past, Wang Shentong was also talking casually.

Before dawn the next day, Wang Shentong went out with the rest of the piano. He glanced sideways at him and went back to sleep.

At noon, Xiaoliu brought lunch, and after waiting for a while, he suddenly realized that it was different from a few days ago, Wang Shentong was already so rich, and he ate casually outside. As soon as Ji Lin picked up the rice bowl, Wang Shentong came back with the piano.

"The last one didn't sell?" asked Younglin.

"Sold. Wang Shentong replied weakly.

Ji Lin expressed his doubts with his eyes.

"I bought it. Wang Shentong explained.

Ji Lin expressed his greater doubts with his eyes. Wang Shentong looked at him and took out a few books from his pocket with an expressionless face.

"Sheet music?"

"Hmm. ”

"Sold your feelings?"

"Definitely. Wang Shentong threw the piano on the bed and sat down beside him, "Shen Yi came to fetch the piano today." ”

Ji Lin thought for a while before he realized who Shen Yi was.

After Wang Shentong confirmed that he remembered, he continued: "After she came, she happily handed me a stack of crumpled money, her family conditions are not good, even you can see it, I thought I could save her a little bit, I secretly sandwiched Zhang 500 into it, I said, 'Miss Shen, the price that was finally talked about yesterday, why do you still give me 2,005 ah', she said how could it be, her money was counted several times, I said, look."

As she spoke, she took the money and counted it carefully three times, and found that it was indeed five hundred more.

'Haunted,' she said, she said that she only had a little more than two thousand in her hand, how could she come up with an extra five hundred, I said, maybe you counted it wrong in the first place. She thought for a while, and then gave me the five hundred, and I said Are you stupid, don't want money

She said, boss, you sell the piano, you will definitely play the piano, right?

Without waiting for me to answer, she continued, "This five hundred should be the performance fee I asked you for, I know it is very little, and you don't look down on it, but can you please play a song for my little sister, just use your piano."

I asked her, "Can't you play the piano you bought for your sister?"

Shen Yi said that she would, she learned it when she was a child, but now she ...... Not very convenient.

I guessed what was going on, so I didn't ask.

Shen Yi hurriedly said again, and asked the boss to promise me, if I could play the piano myself, I would definitely not dare to use such a little money to disturb the boss.

I said, "If you take this money and go to a piano shop, you can find a good luthier, and you can ask him to play."

After I finished speaking, Shen Yi stopped glowing.

At that time, I felt a chuckle in my heart, and I felt very uncomfortable.

She said that she went back to tell her sister last night, that she met a very good boss today, told her about the two of you, and told her about your courage to fight bullies in Los Angeles, and she was very happy, and said that she must meet you. I don't mean anything else by saying this, and I don't want to kidnap you morally, the boss is very busy, and it is impossible not to do business because of these little things......

But she did kidnap me. ”

"And then you agreed?" said yes.

"Hmm. ”

Ji Lin put down the bowl and applauded: "Warmly celebrate the first public performance of Young Master Wang Shentong, an outstanding pianist in the north." ”

Wang Shentong looked at Yan Lin meaningfully: "You are also together." ”

Ji Lin was stupid: "Are you pulling me along to embarrass me?"

"That's why I bought the sheet music!"

"How long have you been dating her?"

"Tomorrow afternoon. ”

"Farewell!"

"Don't," Wang Shentong took out a piece of candy, "Xiao Jilin, can't you feel how deep my love for you is, I usually treat you so well, don't you want to accompany me to meet a friend?" I also specially bought candy for you," Seeing that Yilin was a little loose, Wang Shentong quickly stuffed the sugar into his mouth, "I'm a genius, and I spend a whole day learning the piano, which is more than enough." ”

"I'm giving up!" Wang Shentong wailed an hour later.

"Two hundred and eighty-seven......" Yi Lin hung on the beam of the house and did pull-ups, "so why did you promise people what you couldn't do in the first place." ”

Wang Shentong collapsed on the bed: "Do you know, the moment I agreed to come down, Shen Yi smiled slyly, and I knew that I was tricked by her, but I wasn't angry." ”

"Three hundred. Yilin jumped down and picked up a towel to wipe his sweat, "Why?" In his memory, Wang Shentong really liked to be angry.

"Because the girl is shining again. ”

Yilin threw the towel on him: "I'll go outside and call a reliable teacher back." ”

He went to the piano shop and found the oldest pianist at a high price, and asked him to let Wang Shentong learn "Yue Fu" within one day, because he was going to perform tomorrow.

"This song is not simple, what is the foundation of that young master?"

"You can count how many strings there are...... Don't go, I'll pay five times the price in the market. ”

Under the teacher's training in the afternoon, Wang Shentong has been able to play Chu children's songs more proficiently, but he is still far from performing on stage.

"Is there any quick way for the old gentleman?" said Wang Shentong with red eyes.

Wang Shentong's learning progress is already very surprised by the old pianist, but any excellent pianist has to go through a lot of practice, and in just one day, it is basically impossible to start from scratch.

"Otherwise, you can just teach me that piece, and don't teach these basic music theories. ”

"Learn "Moon Fu" directly without doing basic training?"

"Uh-huh!"

"The old man has never heard of anyone who can do it. The old luthier stroked his beard and said. He has been immersed in the piano for most of his life, and he has seen a lot of geniuses, but they are still within the scope of people, and the only one who can be called a near demon is Yuen Long, which has been spreading in Los Angeles in the past two days. Wang Shentong is very smart, but the fingering of "Moon Fu" changes hundreds and the rhythm changes thousands, how can it be done purely by memory.

"You'll be able to see you today. ”

Under Wang Shentong's strong request, the old violinist still did so. He first demonstrated it himself, and Wang Shentong smiled and said again. The second time, Wang Shentong's brows tightened, and the old pianist secretly thought that he was going to give up, and when you entered the gate of the piano road, you would find that there were many doorways inside. After playing the song, Wang Shentong bit his nails and said come again, and the old pianist was about to persuade him to give up, but was stopped by Yan Lin, so he played it again.

After playing it three times, Wang Shentong fell into deep thought, and for a long time, he stood in front of the piano, plucked a few notes with his fingers, and asked the old violinist with his eyes if he was correct.

"The fingering is completely wrong, but the good thing is that the sound is still right, and the young man's memory is still good. ”

The old luthier nodded.

Wang Shentong played dozens of notes, but they all matched, Wang Shentong stumbled and finished playing the whole song "Moon Fu", and he stood in the opposite direction of the piano. The old luthier's brow furrowed.

But Wang Shentong was still not satisfied: "I feel that something is wrong. He bit his nails and asked the old luthier to play it again.

Nonsense, everything is wrong with you, except that the tone is right.

The old pianist played again at Wang Shentong's request, and this time Wang Shentong only thought for a moment, and then asked the old pianist to give way, and he wanted to sit on the piano bench and play. The old pianist thought that Wang Shentong was afraid of playing the wrong way upside down, but Wang Shentong said: "My legs are sore after standing for too long." ”

Although Wang Shentong's performance this time was still very difficult in some places, it was much smoother than before.

What a strange person this is, I wonder if I can really pop up this "Moon Fu" tomorrow. The old luthier thought.
