Chapter 137: The Son of God and the Piano Music
Time flies, and three months have passed quickly since Meiyi and Kira moved to Hualing.
During this time, Meiyi accompanied Kira to school every day. When he arrives at school, Kira attends classes and spends his time in the library or teacher's office. Wait until Kira is out of school and then go home with her.
They live in a small town in Linshui County, northeast of Hualing, and it is a two-hour carriage ride away from Hualing Academy. There are five people living in the family, in addition to Meiyi and his wife, there are Qiluo's bodyguard, Miss Feng Ling, Meiyi's bodyguard Mei Fan, and Mei Fan's youngest son Megan.
This strange family of elves and humans naturally attracts the attention of the surrounding neighbors. However, this family lives in a simple place, has a good heart, and is very kind to people, so everyone doesn't mind much. On the contrary, they often give them baked bread and picked fruits and vegetables.
In this secluded elven town, Kira and Meiyi feel the kindness of the elven world. Of course, all of these things were quietly thrown away by Feng Ling for safety reasons - she didn't dare joke about Meiyi and Kira's safety.
A lot has happened in these three months. Mei Yi was first dismissed from the position of lord of Linshui County, and then the title was reduced from viscount to baron, and then from baron to knight, which can be called a cliff-like demotion.
In the end, he couldn't even be a knight and became a commoner.
Everyone thought that under such a blow, Meiyi would be depressed all day long, and Qiluo would leave him. Unexpectedly, Mei Yi was not moved at all, and Qiluo was also indifferent, the two were still very affectionate, and they persistently fed dog food to the students of Hualing Academy every day.
Mei Yi spent more than a month in the large warehouse of Hualing Academy, and the students of the Department of Science and Music of the College spent more than a month, and finally changed a keyboard instrument in the elf world from plucked strings to percussion, forming the prototype of the piano in the previous life; It took more than a month to improve the piano, and the performance in all aspects is finally seven or eight percent similar to the piano in the previous life.
On a sunny afternoon, the students of Hualing Academy were gathering in twos and threes for lunch. Suddenly, a kind of music that I had never heard before came like a murmuring stream, making people feel light and comfortable.
They put down the lunch box in their hands, looking for the source of the sound. Eventually, they discovered that Mei Yi was fiddling with the new instrument called the "piano" in a corner of the college's teaching building.
This is also the first time that many people have heard piano music such as "Miss Zhiliuxi", "Kira by the Water", and "Kira's Whispers". The melody and timbre of the music are so beautiful and moving, as if they are striking directly on people's hearts. Everyone was so enchanted that they couldn't move their feet.
For the first time, they saw snow-capped mountains, the sea, forests, lakes and beautiful women through music.
When Mei Yi stopped playing, a deep sense of loss hit her. They want this concert to go on and on, never to stop.
Mei Yi stood up and said to Kira, "Do you want to try it?" ”
When Kira was making pianos with Meiyi these days, she had been in charge of tapping the keys and helping Meiyi tune them. During their breaks, Kira tried to play the brand-new instrument, and after a period of training, the level of performance was quite good.
She nodded, sat down, and played the songs that Mei Yi had just played very smoothly, the music flowed from her fingers like a spring, although there were a few flaws, but it was still intoxicating.
The scene where the two looked at each other and smiled, many girls felt a little sour.
Mei Yi said, "I want to make another one for Mary, she will love it." ”
Kira said, "I'll help you." ”
After the two left, some students wanted to come forward and touch the piano, but Teacher Ruoyi took the students of the music department to pull up the cordon, surrounded the piano, and said menacingly: "This is the property of our music department, don't touch it!" There is only one in the country, and you can't pay for it if it is broken! ”

According to the requirements of Count Peiyi, the Minister of Lordship Affairs of the Kingdom, Mei Yi must report to Dean Xilu or Acting Dean or Provost every day, report to the Duke of Hualing's mansion every week, and submit a report to the Department of Lordship every half month.
Pei Yi directly forwarded Meiyi's report to the Queen's Affairs Office, and Sakura Mai handed it to the Queen.
As soon as the queen heard that it was Meiyi's letter, she waved her hand impatiently and said, "Don't look, don't look, don't look!" ”
It was not for nothing that the queen said this. When Mei Yi first wrote to him, he had already been stripped of his position as Lord of Linshui County. In the letter, Mei Yi expressed her gratitude to the royal family for her arrangement, saying that he was unofficial and light, and in addition to taking Qiluo to and from school every day, he was painting, fishing, reading, and doing handicrafts, and lived a very leisurely and fulfilling life.
When the king and queen saw this letter, they were very unhappy, and by the way gave a second order, demoting him from viscount to baron, and the price was greatly reduced.
Half a month later, Meiyi's letter came again. In the letter, he thanked the royal family for the arrangement. This viscount was not interesting, he always had to attend the meetings of the Duke's palace, and the carriage came and went for hours, and it was annoying. Now the baron is not qualified to attend the party, and he can sleep at home in peace.
When the king and queen saw this letter, without saying a word, they stripped him of his barony and demoted him to knighthood, with a mere few dozen silver coins per annum.
Half a month later, Meiyi's letter came again. In the letter, he said that it was good to be a knight, and that Hua Ling was very peaceful and did not fight. Every time he went to the Duchess's house for training, the lady would prepare a lot of things for him to take home, and he could also gain the respect of elves and fairy warriors.
The king and queen couldn't laugh or cry, and with a stroke of their pen, they directly reduced him to a commoner, thinking: Look how hard you are still talking? There's no income now, right?
Half a month later, Meiyi's letter arrived as scheduled. The queen and the king were about to see Meiyi's joke, but Meiyi said in the letter: At the beginning, it was a little troublesome to lose income. She plans to work hard to earn money to support her family.
However, when he thought about it, he suddenly realized that he didn't need to work hard at all. His parents-in-law lack everything, but they don't lack money. After he wrote home, his mother-in-law sent him 500,000 gold coins without saying a word. Now he picks up Kira to and from school every day, and goes shopping with Kira.
It feels so good to eat soft rice, and the relationship with Kira is getting better and better.
When the queen and the king saw this letter, they were so angry that they scolded him for being corrupt and depraved, and that he was unambitious, brazen, and shameless. I want to punish him, but there is really nothing to punish him.
Two weeks passed in the blink of an eye. When the queen saw Meiyi's letter again, she immediately felt a headache, and threw it directly into the lake of Melotia outside the window, and after a few minutes, regretted it again. She rushed out the window to see that the letter was gone.
On that day, the queen was so uncomfortable that she couldn't sleep much at night.
This is Meiyi's sixth letter in three months. The queen said impatiently, "No," but in her heart she couldn't wait to know what Mei Yi had said in the letter, so she added, "Read it to me, don't read the nonsense!" ”
Sakura said, "Queen, no nonsense, just two sentences in the letter - I recently made a musical instrument called a piano, and everyone said it was very good. If only the queen and princess could hear about it......"
The queen was stunned for a moment, she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her eyes, so she rubbed her eyes and said to Sakura: "By the way, today I said that I would go to the main shrine to pray for the princess, let's go." ”
The main shrine is not far from the royal palace, which is an hour's drive. The queen and Sakura Mai stepped out of the carriage and entered the main shrine, accompanied by Cardinal Ruro, and as soon as they entered, they heard the sound of music like a spring.
The queen couldn't help but be a little drunk, and she asked, "Bishop Liuluo, what kind of musical instrument is this?" I've never heard of it, it's so good. ”
"Illya said that this is a brand new instrument, called the piano, and there are only two in the world, one in the Flower Spirit Academy, and one in our main temple. I don't know who sent it to her a few days ago, but she likes it very much, and she has been practicing non-stop, and now she is playing quite well. ”
The queen was stunned and said, "Piano, how come I seem to have heard this name...... Sakura dance, isn't this what Meiyi said about the piano? Could it be that this is what he made? ”
Seeing that Sakura Wu nodded heavily, Liuluo was startled: "It was made by Meiyi?" I should have known it was him. Who would have thought of such strange things but him? Who can write the score of "Miss Flowing Tide" in its entirety for Illya to practice? ”
Illya played four piano pieces in a row, "To Miss Liuxi", "Kira's Whisper", "Miss Kira by the Water", and "Endless Destiny" (adapted from Pei Shen's "Symphony of Destiny") before stopping.
When she heard "Endless Destiny", the queen was frightened by the "fate knocking on the door" at the beginning. Although she had not heard this music, the queen still guessed that this piano piece was about a man who fought bravely and fearlessly to something countless times stronger than himself, and finally failed.
Music and mathematics are universal languages.
After listening to this, the queen stood there for a long time, thinking: Meiyi, maybe this music is your current state of mind? Have you given up already? Are you so willing to let those nobles see your jokes? Aqilu never gave up, even if you were crushed into the dust.
Anyway, the music you want me to hear, I hear, it's really good.

Flower Spirit Academy.
Qiluo worked hard to get "Endless Destiny" ripe. She asked the same question as the queen: "My dear, does this piece of music represent your current state of mind?" I suppose even you are a little discouraged, right? ”
Mei Yi smiled: "Don't be stupid, this person in the piano music fought against fate until the last moment and lost, not admitting defeat." ”
