Liu Yaqin's residence is decorated in an elegant Chinese style, creating a home atmosphere close to nature with logs. The novel is simple Chinese furniture, natural and simple, strong and durable log furniture gives people a comfortable and comfortable feeling. Savor these simple Chinese furniture, revealing a hint of zen in the mind.

When Sikong Yao entered, he was attracted by simple rather than elegant Chinese furniture, wandering in a space with a distant artistic conception. This is a decoration style that she has never been exposed to before, and what she has seen before is probably a magnificent European-style building, and now she tastes such a simple and elegant living style, but it also has a unique flavor.

In particular, there was a mahogany zither in the hall, which aroused Sikong Yao's interest. The guzheng lying quietly on the table has a faint sandalwood fragrance. Each string is as thin as a hair, and between the touch of the fingertips, the notes emerge beautifully.

The shape of the guzheng is also in line with the ancients' idea of the unity of heaven and earth. It is recorded in ancient books that the zither "is like the sky on the top, flat like the ground below, the hollow is quasi*, the string pillar is intended to be in December, the four images are set up, and the drum is five tones", which is a precise description of the idea of the unity of heaven and earth embodied by the guzheng.

Sikong Yao was aroused by this guzheng, turned to Liu Yaqin and asked, "Teacher, is this guqin yours?" ”

While brewing black tea, Liu Yaqin explained to Sikong Yao: "Well, it's mine, interested?" ”

Sikong Yao smiled lightly and said a little helplessly: "I don't have a different rhythm, but I like it." One of your two siblings plays the guitar and the other plays the guzheng, are you from a musical family? ”

Liu Yaqin laughed lightly, and immediately replied: "My father is proficient in several musical instruments, but he is still mediocre in music all his life, so he puts his hopes on the two of us. ”

Sikong Yao let out a sigh in surprise and said, "Huh." In this way, it seems that Brother Hui did not disappoint his father. He's doing so well in his current band. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Yaqin shook her head a little helplessly and said, "Actually, this is not the case. ”

Sikong Yao's eyes showed a little curiosity, and he was more interested in Liu Yaqin's words, wanting to know more about the Stinging Snake Band. Or the matter of Liu Minghui.

"Why do you say that?" Sikong Yao asked.

The black tea leaves boiled in a teapot already give off a faint fragrance. As the tea boils, the mellow and sweet flavor immediately spreads out, making people feel calm.

Liu Yaqin poured eight points full of tea red with a white porcelain cup. put it on the table and gently pushed it in front of Sikong Yao, and said, "Let's have some tea first, I listened to the concert in the evening, and that kind of thing happened again." The nerves will be very excited, and black tea can condense the mind. And it's cool at night, warm up. ”

Sikong Yao took the black tea handed over by Liu Yaqin, nodded immediately, and thanked him. But another thought came to me.

Although black tea has the effect of concentrating, it also has the ability to refresh the mind, according to reason. It's so late at night, damn when you wash up and rest. It is not easy to drink tea. And Liu Yaqin also made such a pot of black tea, so I'm afraid she won't go to bed early, presumably there are other things to say.

Sikong Yao took a sip of black tea, and let the fragrance of the tea spread in his body, and his spirit improved a lot.

Liu Yaqin picked up on the previous words and explained to Sikong Yao: "My father taught Xiaohui to play the piano, hoping that he would follow the musical path of classical praise. ”

Sikong Yao muttered for a while, and said: "This is too old-fashioned, even if it is rock music, it also has its meaning of existence and the field of music, isn't there a 'Rock and Roll Hall of Fame' that is dedicated to giving awards to rock musicians?" ”

Liu Yaqin nodded, and said helplessly: "That's true, but my father and Xiaohui disagree, and the two often quarrel when they meet, and I, as a sister, are also very embarrassed." ”…

Sikong Yao smiled helplessly, why does this matter sound like an acquaintance? Between sisters and brothers, the love between brothers and sisters is very different from the thoughts of the young one.

Not wanting to delve deeper into this issue, Sikong Yao turned to say, "What about you, teacher?" ”

Liu Yaqin laughed lightly and said: "The ancients said that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, I don't have a strong sense of autonomy like Xiaohui, for me, a peaceful life is more worth cherishing, and my father did not impose too many requirements on me, so I am now a teacher at St. Yi De Lu Cuisine Academy, and my father did not object much, but was always wary of me to practice diligently." ”

Sikong Yao said in surprise: "In this way, seeing that this piano is so well maintained, the teacher must be very careful to take care of it, right?" ”

Liu Yaqin refilled the tea for Sikong Yao, and then said: "Don't dare to forget my father's advice, the ancients said, 'Parents teach, you must listen respectfully; Parental responsibility must be accepted. Although I think this sentence is a bit too extreme, if it were not an act that violates personal principles and disobedience, I would probably have followed what my parents said if it was within my ability. When I came home for the holidays, my father would also test my piano skills, and if I didn't practice well every day, I would be reprimanded by my father if I slackened. ”

Sikong Yao said in surprise again: "That's it...... Wouldn't that be tiring? ”

Liu Yaqin shook her head lightly and said: "No, I have always liked music and rhythm, and I have a little ear staining in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my father's meaning seems to be to pin his hopes on his grandchildren." ”

"So, the teacher must have played well?" Sikong Yao was a little envious, except for dessert cooking, she didn't have any other hobbies.

Liu Yaqin smiled lightly: "What, are you interested?" I can teach you. ”

Sikong Yao shook his head lightly and declined: "No, I probably don't have that patience, but I enjoy listening to it." ”

Liu Yaqin got up slowly and said, "Then I'll play a song for you?" ”

Sikong Yao's eyes overflowed with a strange look, and he said happily: "It's okay!" ”

Liu Yaqin sat down gently before coming to the guzheng, raised her hair braid back, slowly raised her head, smiled faintly, raised her right hand lightly, and turned her head slightly.

The jade finger is a flick, such as the slow-flowing stream, clear and quiet, the stream is murmuring, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the green grass and wild flowers are competing to open, like the wind and clouds, the waves are crashing on the shore, and suddenly there is a majestic and passionate feeling of showing the grand scene, and sometimes there is a feeling of distant longing that makes people break their hearts.

Interpreting the heroism, depression, sadness, resentment, agitation and other emotions in the world is exactly what the "king of musical instruments" Guzheng can do. At most, the guzheng can produce 1 note at the same time, and the rest can only produce 4 notes at the same time.

"When playing a strong note, it is like a tiger descending a mountain, and when it is weak, it is as thin as a gossamer", and the person who expresses the rich and colorful things in the world is none other than the guzheng.

At the end of the song, the aftermath lingered, Sikong Yao's eyes showed a little admiration, and he looked at his beautiful hand that was not inferior to Liu Yaqin, and only sighed that he didn't have the leisure, otherwise maybe he could play such a beautiful rhyme, right?

Liu Yaqin gently wiped the strings with a clean cloth and asked, "Do you like it?" ”

Sikong Yao nodded hurriedly and said, "Good to hear!" When the tune is excited, if thousands of troops and horses sing in unison, and when the song is low, if the evening breeze caresses the grass, it is quiet and peaceful, this will take a long time, right? ”

Liu Yaqin smiled lightly and said, "Just this song, twenty years." ”

Sikong Yao took a deep breath, couldn't hide the shock in his heart and said in surprise: "Twenty years......"

Liu Yaqin said with a smile: "Although my piano skills are not as exquisite as those of famous artists, I can practice a song hard, and the rhyme can also be collected in my heart." Once a person is able to calm down and concentrate on a certain thing, he will definitely be able to realize something. ”…

Sikong Yao nodded and sighed, "Yes." ”

Liu Yaqin suddenly raised her head, looked at Sikong Yao, and said lightly: "Then what about you, Xiao Yao, do you have anything you have to do?" ”

Sikong Yao was speechless for a while, countless thoughts flashed in her heart, but she couldn't find a thing that could make her focus for twenty years, so she could only smile reluctantly: "If I have to say one specific thing, I'm afraid there really isn't, but if I want to be able to keep me going for the rest of the twenty years, it's cooking." ”

Liu Yaqin asked again: "Why?" ”

Sikong Yao pondered for a while, if she wanted to say why, she really couldn't think of a reason, she didn't want Bai Xia to have her own goals that she had to achieve, and she didn't want Meng Xiyao to cook the most delicious Western food, all she wanted was to enjoy the process of cooking, and the idea of "becoming a world-class pastry chef" was just dispensable, a long-term goal.

Sikong Yao smiled awkwardly, but said without feeling ashamed at all: "No why, I don't have any big ambitions, but I like desserts very much, and I also like the process of cooking." I don't think you can enjoy the process of cooking even if you don't have any goals or ideas, right? Isn't cooking supposed to be a process of enjoyment and an experience of specialization? ”

Sikong Yao didn't feel ashamed at all because he didn't have great ambitions, but instead said everything he thought in his heart, and then when he looked up at Liu Yaqin, he found that he was nodding with satisfaction.

Liu Yaqin said with a smile: "Very good, I really didn't mistake you, He Laiqiang left you in the sweetheart department, I can understand more or less now." ”

Liu Yaqin slowly straightened up, and Sikong Yao also sat up straight, she knew that Liu Yaqin was about to start getting into the topic next, so she also showed her respect.

Liu Yaqin's lips and teeth moved slightly, and she said lightly: "Then Sikong Yao, do you know what kind of people will be the judges for tomorrow's dessert assessment?" (To be continued)
