Chapter 365: Guzheng

"Hearing you say this, it seems that you yourself think you will lose?" Hearing Zhao Xiaoshi's word "also", Li Xiangqin couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Uh...... Hey, in fact, I had already made a bet with him before this, and I thought I would definitely win, but in the end, I ......," Zhao Xiaoshi squeaked.

"Oh, what's the matter? I'm a little curious, tell me what's going on!" Li Xiangqin suddenly felt interesting when she heard this. Seeing Zhao Xiaoshi's appearance, I knew that she must have lost, and the loss was incredible, otherwise it wouldn't be like that.

"Okay, here's the thing......" Things have come to this point, Zhao Xiaoshi no longer hides it, and tells her mother, there is nothing wrong, right?

"What? Promise to do three things for the other party? You won't be much older in "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", right? And what agreement did you propose to sign yourself? You are really speechless, and finally lift a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, right?" Li Xiangqin said with some amusement when she heard this.

"I thought I had already won, who knew I would lose in the end? After all, it was impossible!" Zhao Xiaoshi was also a little aggrieved.

"Hmph, it's impossible? That's just your wishful thinking! He's a man who is good at creating miracles, and this gamble, it seems that you are "more than lucky"! But that's okay, anyway, your "deed of sale" is already in the hands of others, and it doesn't matter if you lose. It's just a pity that Qian'er, and now she still has a dream of winning!" Li Xiangqin teased, and turned her attention to Zhao Xiaoqian, who was seriously explaining to Tang Chen.

"Mom, he's very good and good, but it doesn't mean that we will definitely lose, right? You know, even if he passes the piano level, the guzheng is not so easy to learn! Mom, you should know this very well, right?" Although Zhao Xiaoshi felt a little empty in her heart, she felt very uncomfortable when she heard Li Xiangqin's words of affirmation.

"Oh, yes, why are you flustered?" Li Xiangqin didn't answer her words, but asked with a smile.

"I ...... I didn't panic!" Zhao Xiaoshi said calmly.

"It's good that there is no panic. Okay, Xiao Chen is about to start playing, let's listen carefully! Let's see what kind of results the two of them have been talking about the score for so long!" Li Xiangqin smiled slightly, pointed to the piano and said.

……

Tang Chen on the other side was already ready, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, then opened his eyes, and his fingers began to move on the keys.

The prelude to "Croatian Rhapsody" sounded in the practice room, Tang Chen already had the ability to remember and the super learning ability, just now Zhao Xiaoqian had already told him a few important points of this song. Therefore, when he played it for the first time, he had some music in his mind, and he should be able to reluctantly complete it.

Sitting next to him, Zhao Xiaoqian, who was still smiling, gradually solidified the smile on her face as the song slowly passed through the front section to the middle section.

Although the key is still a little inaccurate in some places, and the coherence in some places is not smooth, but this is the first time to play it? Even if some music scores exist, and I have explained many important points to him, it will not be so exaggerated, right?

"Could it be that he would have known a long time ago, and now he is just pretending?" Zhao Xiaoqian couldn't help but flash such a thought in her mind, but in an instant she drove this thought out again.

Although she had a lot of opinions about Tang Chen at the moment, she still believed in his character. He is sometimes a little oily, but he is still above board in his actions. Otherwise, people like his father would not be impressed by him, and even praise him!

Moreover, when Tang Chen listened to her explanation just now, the look of listening carefully didn't seem like pretending. If this is really what he has been acting, Zhao Xiaoqian can only say that the Oscar winner is nothing in front of him!

"Is there really a genius in this world?" Zhao Xiaoqian flashed such a sentence in her mind.

At this time, Tang Chen's performance had come to the second half, which was the most complex and difficult part of the whole piece.

Zhao Xiaoqian also stared at Tang Chen tightly at this time, and at the same time, her two ears were also straight, for fear of missing any notes and details.

Li Xiangqin and Zhao Xiaoshi, who were sitting not far away, also looked similar at the moment. Tang Chen's performance just now had completely proved their guess. However, they didn't expect that this was the first time, and Tang Chen would already be able to play like this, which was also beyond their expectations.

But they who understand music know that now is the most critical time for the whole song. If Tang Chen can play here for the first time, even if there are some flaws, then the first game of this gambling game ~ piano, the Zhao family sisters will lose.

After all, with his terrifying talent, as long as he practiced a few more times, it would not be difficult to complete it smoothly and skillfully.

Under the nervous gaze of everyone, the music score in Tang Chen's mind appeared very clearly in front of his eyes, and the notes were like elves jumping in front of his eyes, and then they were played through his fingers.

Tang Chen's fingers were getting faster and faster, and although the whole tone change was a bit complicated, he still barely passed the test! So, he's done!

When Tang Chen dropped the last note, he closed his eyes and reminisced about the performance just now, and found that there were still flaws in many places, which made him a little frustrated. But then it occurred to him that this was only the first time he had played it, as it was still a foreign piece to him. Although he has the talent of "hanging up" and the ability to imprint the score of the whole piece into his mind with his memorization, it cannot be achieved overnight, and he needs to practice several times.

Thinking about it like this, Tang Chen's heart felt much more comfortable again. He opened his eyes and found that Li Xiangqin and Zhao Xiaoshi had come to him at some point, and they were looking at him with the same eyes as aliens with Zhao Xiaoqian.

"That, I know I'm handsome and powerful, but if you stare at me like this, I'll feel shy!" Tang Chen touched his face and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.

However, his smile was a bit cheap no matter how you looked at it, so the appearance of "gods" in the hearts of the three of them just now suddenly disappeared without a trace.

"Hey, I said you're too shameless, aren't you? Do you boast about yourself like this? Don't feel ashamed!" Zhao Xiaoshi said first.

"Why should I be ashamed? Am I not telling the truth?" Tang Chen asked with a strange expression.

"You ......"

"Okay, okay, you both don't have to say a word. That, Xiao Chen, is it really the first time for you to play this song? Oh, don't think about it too much! It's not that Auntie doesn't believe you, but this is really incredible!" Li Xiangqin knew that the other two girls also had questions in their hearts, so it was better to ask themselves.

"Of course, I can vouch for it with my personality! As for why I'm so good, I don't know. Of course, if you have to find a reason, it's simple. I think you all know that there is a type of person in this world who has become a "genius", and I belong to this type of person!" Tang Chen stood up and said with his head held high.

At this moment, the other three saw that Tang Chen seemed to have a holy light rushing straight into the sky, and that holy appearance was like a god descending from heaven.

Seeing that the three of them seemed to be shocked by themselves, Tang Chen was secretly proud in his heart. I haven't pretended to be forced for a long time, but I occasionally pretend at the moment, and it's a very successful wave, and I still have a great sense of accomplishment in my heart!

"Smack~"

Just when Tang Chen was constantly yy in his head, he was suddenly slapped on the head, which immediately woke him up.

"You stinky boy, it's great to have a little ability, huh? Even if you are a genius, what is it? Can you be proud in front of my aunt and me? If I don't hit you a few times, I see that your tail will be cocked to the sky! Look at the fight!" Li Xiangqin finished speaking, and the hand that had not yet withdrawn slapped towards Tang Chen's head again.

"Hey, I don't dare anymore, I know it's wrong, just spare me!" Tang Chen dodged one by one, then grabbed Li Xiangqin's hand with his hand, and begged for mercy.

Originally, I thought that I was quite successful in this wave of forced pretense, but I didn't expect to be "beaten" by Li Xiangqin, which made Tang Chen's heart feel a little lost.

"Haha~" Looking at Tang Chen's pitiful appearance, the two girls suddenly burst out laughing.

"Sister Qian'er, are you still laughing, I am going to win the first game of this gambling game!" Tang Chen immediately turned his head, the corners of his mouth curved, and he said with some smugness.

Hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the two of them suddenly froze, especially Zhao Xiaoqian, who was a little unwilling.

"Hmph, you're saying this a little early, aren't you? Besides, even if you finish the piano, there is still Xiao Shi's zither!" Zhao Xiaoqian snorted coldly.

"That's right! Guzheng is not so easy to learn, not to mention that you are still a boy!" Zhao Xiaoshi also said loudly.

Li Xiangqin also stepped aside at this time, planning to "watch the play" again.

"Really, then I'll finish the first item first!" Tang Chen didn't go with them to talk to them, he just smiled slightly, and started playing again.

No surprise, after twenty minutes, after four rounds of continuous improvement, he was able to play it completely smoothly. Although it is not as perfect as Zhao Xiaoqian's playing, it can be regarded as passable.

"Ahem, Sister Qian'er, this first level is considered to be completed, right?" Tang Chen coughed dryly and said with a smile.

"Barely count you done!" Zhao Xiaoqian pouted a little reluctantly.

"Hehe, since that's the case, let's start the next project!" Tang Chen didn't want to waste time, what he wanted now was to send the two of them away as soon as possible, and then go to "business".

Tang Chen took the lead and walked towards the position of the guzheng, and Zhao Xiaoqian leaned into Zhao Xiaoshi's ear and whispered, "Xiaoshi, are you sure?"

"No, this guy can't ...... at all" Zhao Xiaoqian seemed to be a little unconfident.

"It's true, but in this case, we may lose?" Zhao Xiaoqian was a little bottomless, "Hey, why don't you teach him later......"

"What do you mean......" Zhao Xiaoshi could naturally understand what she meant, but is it really good to do this? Violating one's conscience for the sake of one's own victory, such a thing......

"I'm just talking, of course we can't do such a thing! It's just that I lost such a gamble, I'm really a little unwilling!" Zhao Xiaoqian touched her nose, seemingly unwilling.

"Alas, let's take a look and talk about it!" Zhao Xiaoshi was also a little unwilling.

Li Xiangqin, who was walking at the end, saw the two girls getting together, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. She also wondered what they would do in the face of such a situation.

Finally arriving at the destination, Tang Chen sat down first, and then turned his gaze to Zhao Xiaoshi.

Zhao Xiaoshi was not timid, she came directly to Tang Chen's side and said, "You get up first, I'll tell you how to bring fake nails first!"

Tang Chen didn't say much when he heard this, and stood directly to the side.

Zhao Xiaoshi sat in her seat, wrapping her nails on her fingers while telling him the essentials. Tang Chen was a complete rookie, of course she had to teach him by herself. Of course, there will be no shortage of in-person demonstrations in this issue.

Li Xiangqin, who was standing on the side and watching, looked at Zhao Xiaoshi, who was explaining to Tang Chen step by step, and a relieved smile appeared on his face. These two little guys did not disappoint her after all.

After several clumsy attempts, Tang Chen finally tied the fake nails on the most difficult thumb with duct tape, and then tied the other nails in turn under Zhao Xiaoshi's guidance.

"Come directly, it's the introductory knowledge of Guzheng. Zhao Xiaoshi took the book "Introduction to Guzheng" that Tang Chen brought just now, opened it and said: "In fact, it is difficult to learn Guzheng, and it is easy to say that it is easy to say, it depends on whether you have talent in this area." Of course, junior brother, you must be fine, after all, you are a "genius"!"

Zhao Xiaoshi didn't know whether she was really praising or ridiculing Tang Chen, anyway, after she finished speaking, the smile on her face was very incomprehensible.

Tang Chen didn't care, moved a stool from the side and sat next to Zhao Xiaoshi, and listened to her carefully.

The first thing to say is the common way to play the guzheng, generally using the right hand, to hook, pluck, wipe, hit, pick, pick, finger and other techniques to pluck the strings, while the left hand is mainly used to press, slide, knead, tremble and other techniques to change the tone, which is the main work of the left hand. Of course, the left hand also has to be played. But compared to the tired right hand, it is very relaxed!

The next step is the division of the sound group of the guzheng. The types of guzheng have been divided into three types of strings, and now the most common is 21 strings. Now in front of Tang Chen is a 21-string guzheng. (To be continued.) )
