Chapter 248: "Nouveau riche"

。 "Superior piano room?" Liu Yufan took the key with some doubts, and then looked at the "Qin House Price List" in his hand

Ordinary Xinghai 120 piano room: free, key pressing 200 yuan; Yamaha and Cavaii 120 piano room: 5 yuan/hour, monthly/200, quarterly/500, yearly/1500......

Looking at the detailed price list in his hand, Liu Yufan felt a little emotional, it turned out that even if he was here, he had to divide the grades. But it's right to think about it, a good piano is also a high-quality educational resource, because high-quality resources are limited, and it is naturally impossible for people to practice for free like ordinary pianos.

Liu Yufan looked at the most expensive one: Steinway Nine-foot Piano Room, 200 yuan/hour, monthly/4000, quarterly/10000, and 32000 per year. With such an expensive price, he couldn't help but smack his tongue a little.

"Sure enough, the cost of renting a piano for a year can buy an original imported Yamaha piano, but after all, it is the king of pianos, Stanway, and it is a nine-foot performance-level piano, which is said to be worth the price." Liu Yufan thought to himself.

Of course, with his financial resources, such an expense is not unaffordable, but it is not necessary. From Mo Yan, he knew that the Steinway triangle only had a better timbre when playing, and as for the practice piano, in fact, Steinway's upright piano was enough, and the touch keys were exactly the same, but the timbre was a little worse.

Liu Yufan looked at the other five piano students, who were also holding the price list in their hands and looking at it carefully, obviously considering which grade to choose for practice.

Liu Yufan looked at the price of the Steinway 120 upright practice piano, and the annual package was only 8,000 yuan, and he had already made a decision in his heart.

"Mr. Qian, I want to handle this Kawaii's annual package." A girl was the first to walk up to Teacher Qian and said to her.

"Okay, here's a registration form. You fill it out first, and I'll handle it for you after you're done. Teacher Qian said and handed her an application form.

With this girl taking the lead, several other people stepped forward to get a form. It seems that no one wants to use the most ordinary free Xinghai piano.

For their performance. Liu Yufan can also understand, after all, those who can come here to go to school, the conditions at home are generally not bad, and it is estimated that the piano they play at home will not be a sea of stars for thousands of yuan a piece. Although renting a piano to play may seem a little inappropriate, a good piano can bring a better feel and musicality when practicing, and this money is still necessary.

The boy who received the form in front of Liu Yufan. The choice is a Yamaha grand piano room, and it is also an annual package, the cost of this piano for a year is the same as that of the Steinway upright piano, looking at the choice of this benevolent brother, Liu Yufan was a little disapproving, if he was allowed to choose, he would definitely not choose the Yamaha grand triangle. Even if it's a performance-level grand piano. But after all, it is only a second-rate product, and it cannot be compared with top pianos such as Steinway and Fagioli in terms of touch.

"Teacher Qian. I would like to choose this Steinway 120 piano room. Liu Yufan saw that it was his turn, and stepped forward and said to Teacher Qian.

Listening to Liu Yufan's words, Mr. Qian glanced at him with some surprise. Even Ling Yuan, who was standing on the side chatting with another teacher, couldn't help but glance at Liu Yufan.

"Is this it?" Mr. Qian pointed to a column on the price list and asked, as if he wanted to make sure.

"Well, this is it." Liu Yufan said with certainty.

Seeing that Liu Yufan chose this Steinway's upright piano room, the other students just now looked at him with a little strange eyes. There's envy in there. There is jealousy, and there is disdain. You can see that their mentality is complicated.

"It's enough to fit, 8,000 yuan a year, and you can rent an upright piano, even if it's Steinway, what can you do? It's not a big triangle, stupid. Chen Zheng, who had just chosen the Yamaha grand grand piano room, looked at Liu Yufan, and the corners of his mouth pulled with some disdain. ..., Liu Yufan took the form and filled it out a few times, handed it back to Teacher Qian, and then asked: "Teacher Qian, when can I get the key to the piano room to practice." ”

"Oh, you'll be fine after paying the fee." Mr. Qian took the form and looked at it, and said casually after seeing that there was no problem.

"Is it okay to hand it in now?" Liu Yufan said that he just had more than 10,000 yuan in cash in his backpack, which was left over from today's shopping, and he hadn't had time to deposit it in the bank.

"Now?" Listening to Liu Yufan's words, Mr. Qian was a little strange, but he still nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Then, in front of everyone's eyes, Liu Yufan gorgeously took out a handful of "old man's heads" from the bag on his shoulder, ignoring everyone's strange gazes, slowly counted out eighty sheets, and handed them to Mr. Qian.

"Damn, rich man!" Several students on the side who saw this scene all had surprised looks in their eyes.

"Cut, an old man, a nouveau riche, for fear that others won't know that he is rich, how can this product be admitted to the attached high school." Seeing Liu Yufan take out a roll of tickets from his bag as if he were pulling out toilet paper, Chen Zheng pouted.

After paying the money, Liu Yufan successfully got the key to Steinway's piano room, and after seeing that the time was still early, he decided to practice the piano for a while. In the past two days, I have been busy with school admissions, and I don't have much time to practice. Thinking that there will be an entrance test in three days, although Liu Yufan is not too worried about whether he can pass the test, it is better to prepare more.

The Stanway piano room is on the third floor, and Liu Yufan went upstairs and found that this piano room was different from the ordinary piano room.

First of all, the space is larger, the general piano room is only three or four square meters, but the Steinway piano room is full of 20 square meters. The larger the sound field of the piano room, the better the effect, and it seems that the money is well spent.

Secondly, the door of this piano room is burglar-proof, which is different from the ordinary wooden door below. This is also understandable, after all, a Steinway is expensive, even if it is this ordinary 120 upright piano, the price is close to 300,000, taking the price at the moment, it is enough to buy a house in a cheap area in the capital, and it is necessary to be careful.

Liu Yufan took out the key to open the door of the piano room, reached out and turned on the switch on the wall, and the bright lights immediately sprinkled all over the piano room.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a piano room, but it is better to say that it is a small piano room, Liu Yufan looked at this very spacious piano room, and was very satisfied.

Near the east wall, a black upright piano sits along. The piano is not big, but it exudes a delicate and noble atmosphere everywhere.

On top of the piano is a black wooden metronome, but there is nothing else, it is very neat.

There is a portrait of Beethoven hanging above the piano, this is Liu Yufan's favorite musician, looking at Beethoven's serious expression in the portrait, Liu Yufan suddenly felt that there is a lot more music in this piano room.

On the other side is a row of sub-gray bookshelves with some commonly used music reference books, and more places are empty to place some sheet music.

Near the window, the milky curtains are pulled up to the sides, revealing the night outside, and on the windowsill is a small pot of greenery, which can be seen to be carefully cared for, and the leaves are verdant and lovely.

Turning around and closing the door of the piano room, Liu Yufan pulled out the piano bench and sat down in front of the piano.

The piano bench is made of hardwood, which is not very comfortable, but it is very suitable for practicing. A piano bench that is too soft is easy for people to be lazy and not want to move.

The piano was wiped clean and clean, and even the position of the pedals exuded a yellow and clear light, as if it were new, and it could be seen that someone had taken care of it. Each Steinway is a work of art, and as far as the school is concerned, it is only natural that it needs to be taken care of. ..., gently lifted the lid, and a row of neat and delicate keys met Liu Yufan's eyes.

The exquisiteness of Steinway's workmanship is reflected in every detail, although this is just an ordinary upright piano, but the craftsmanship of the keys is far more exquisite than that of ordinary brands of top pianos. The neatly arranged keys seem to naturally carry a strong sense of art, which has a strong attraction to those who love the piano.

Gently stretched out his hands and put them on the keys, and a slightly cool feeling came to his fingers, which was a very familiar and comfortable feeling.

His hands sank slightly, and a quiet, subtle sound of the piano flowed faintly from his fingertips.

It's Chopin's Nocturne.

This is an eighth-grade repertoire, which is very simple, Liu Yufan could play it very smoothly four years ago.

But many times, Liu Yufan still likes to play this piece very much, which has nothing to do with the difficulty, but with the mood.

A good tune has nothing to do with difficulty.

The hands are like two lazy cats, deeply trapped in the keys, and from this, a soft and emotional tone is obtained. Liu Yufan's eyes were closed lightly, and the whole person completely enjoyed the artistic conception of music.

The top-notch touch of a Steinway piano attracts fingers like an irresistible magic. Every touch of a button is the ultimate enjoyment of the soul.

As the night darkens, this "Nocturne" seems to blend perfectly into the night, faintly, through the open window, drifting into the charming starlight of the night sky.

"It's Chopin's Nocturne." Ling Yuan, who had just left the music building, was about to walk home, when a sudden sound of the piano made her stop.

She doesn't know how many times she has played or spoken this song, she remembers every detail of it, remembers every expression, originally, she would not stop for such a simple song.

However, today, at this moment, this song is different.

In that familiar melody, Ling Yuan heard something different, something beyond technique. There seemed to be something that attracted her to the sound of the piano, which made her unconsciously stop and carefully capture every note.

It wasn't until the music was over that Ling Yuan looked up at the music building beside him.

"Is that him?" Looking at the light on the third floor, Ling Yuan said softly.
