Chapter 024 The willows are in the shade

For most of the next half a day, the sound of the piano in the Lu family's piano room never stopped.

Lu Minglan's piano teacher was a pastor in a church in Luancheng, named Joseph, who was one of the first foreigners to enter Luancheng.

Joseph was fluent in Chinese and had a relatively accurate pronunciation.

He said that he was very interested in our history, and he also analyzed the local people and sophistication very thoroughly.

He came to Lu Minglan as a piano teacher for the sake of Master Lu's face.

When the church was built, their Lu family donated money.

But in the face of Lu Minglan, a rude and willful daughter, he really had a headache.

In other aspects, it is bearable, but every time he sees Mrs. Lu's expectant eyes, he can't feel ashamed.

He was eager to tell Mrs. Lu the truth that her daughter had little talent in music.

Lu Minglan not only has an extremely stubborn attitude, but he has not made any progress after studying for so long.

Joseph was planning to resign in the near future, until he met Gu Qingdai today.

Joseph saw Lu Minglan gritting her teeth and practicing the piano, and even ate lunch hastily, thinking that the eldest lady was stunned.

He secretly pulled Gu Qingdai aside, "Can you tell me what happened to Miss Lu today?" ”

Miss Lu suddenly opened her mind and felt that the piano was something she had to learn. Of course, the main thing is to be impressed by your accomplishments, Mr. Joseph. ”

Gu Qingdai naturally had to keep the little secret between her and Lu Minglan.

Gu Qingdai played the song and asked Lu Minglan to agree to her condition, that is, she must practice the piano for five hours.

Although Lu Minglan is rude, she is a child's heart after all.

Do things according to the logic of her thinking, and you will soon be recognized by her.

And Gu Qingdai found her "weakness" very accurately, she was very proud.

Gu Qingdai used her pride conveniently.

If you want to be proud in front of others, you have to work hard in the back.

Otherwise, it will be a matter of time before others are ridiculed, and not everyone will give face to the Lu family, let alone everyone flattering her, the eldest lady.

For several days in a row, Gu Qingdai was able to control Lu Minglan very well.

"You can play the piano and speak foreign languages, so I don't believe you can do foxtrot?" Lu Minglan pursed her mouth and sat on the leather sofa with her waist pinched.

Gu Qingdai smiled secretly, she really knew a little.

But she knew that it was not enough to suppress Lu Minglan, and she had to give some encouragement appropriately.

"I'm really not good at this, but I'm so good at abacus, can I teach you?" Gu Qingdai casually tinkered with the gramophone in the living room.

She couldn't help but sigh that the Lu family was too westernized, and their clothing, food, housing and transportation were all like gourds.

She accompanied Lu Minglan and was waiting for the dance teacher to come over to teach, but Mrs. Lu, who was hiding outside, quietly came to their door several times.

Mrs. Lu felt that in the past few days that Gu Qingdai had been here, her home had become extremely peaceful, and she even felt that her soul had been baptized when she was in worship.

Mr. Lu thought that Mrs. Lu was messing around, but Mrs. Lu only said that she should treat it as a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

However, in the past few days, although Master Lu didn't say anything on his face, he had acquiesced to Mrs. Lu's move.

On the contrary, Mrs. Lu's eldest son, Lu Mingze, was skeptical.

He told his mother more than once that Gu Qingdai was several years older than his sister, and he went outside early to do things.

Gu Qingdai might not have carried them behind her back and poured some ecstasy soup on her sister.

Mrs. Lu turned a deaf ear and reprimanded her eldest son sternly: "This girl can get into the eyes of Xu Lao, and she must not be wrong." Besides, as long as your sister can become a celebrity, I don't care about the rest. ”

Lu Mingze understood his mother's obsession, and knew that it was useless to say more, so he could rest assured that he would meet this Gu Qingdai in person for a while.

He did not go out to-day, but waited at home with his mother.

When Gu Qingdai first came, she was pulled directly into the room by Lu Minglan, causing Lu Mingze not to see her.

Seeing his mother tiptoeing around, he couldn't stop his curiosity and looked after him.

"You said that Miss Gu was with your sister, did she have to suffer a lot of grievances? I'm used to her temper. Mrs. Lu and her eldest son returned to another guest room.

Lu Mingze poured a cup of coffee for his mother, "Do you still know? If it weren't for the pampering you have been used to over the years, Lan Lan would not have been so disobedient to discipline as she is today. ”

The mother and son were talking, and the servants at the bottom suddenly ran in to report that the dance teacher had something to do today, so he sent someone to the house to say hello.

It just so happened that Gu Qingdai, who had just come out, heard this passage, and she stepped forward with a smile, "Mrs. Lu, then I will leave today." ”

Mrs. Lu hurriedly grabbed her, "Miss Gu, what's the hurry, sit down for a while before leaving." ”

Mrs. Lu asked Lu Mingze to pour another cup of coffee for Gu Qingdai, and then introduced her eldest son: "This is my eldest son Lu Mingze, who just came back from overseas last year." ”

Lu Mingze looks relatively fair, but Si Swenwen's hair is combed too neatly, and the ends of his forehead are a little bald.

Gu Qing Daixi smiled and said a few polite words to Lu Mingze, sat down and drank two sips of coffee, and then excused himself to take a step ahead of others.

"Are you not used to drinking coffee? Foreigners love this taste. Mrs. Lu was busy ordering someone to bring tea.

Gu Qingdai said again and again no, and asked Mrs. Lu not to be so polite.

Lu Minglan, who went back to the room to change her clothes, also rushed out, and when she saw that her mother was overly enthusiastic, she instantly choked: "Mom, Miss Gu has something to do, what do you have to force others to do?" ”

Mrs. Lu smiled.

Lu Minglan glanced at her mother, "It's better to let the eldest brother give Miss Gu a ride." ”

"Yes, yes, where is Miss Gu going? Our family didn't follow the trend and got a car back. Lu Mingze took it politely.

Gu Qingdai thought about it for a while, and didn't shirk again, "I'm going to go to the Zhong family's big opera troupe and meet with the master of the Xiao Zhong class." ”

Lu Mingze didn't say anything in front of his mother, and when Gu Qingdai got into his car, he asked tentatively: "What does Miss Gu have to talk about with Xiao Zhong's class master?" ”

Gu Qingdai felt that there was nothing to hide, so she briefly told Lu Mingze.

Lu Mingze stopped talking, and the speed of driving gradually slowed down, "Actually, the Zhong Family Theater was built by our Lu family, and I have some friendship with the head of Xiao Zhong." ”

Gu Qingdai's eyes lit up.

"Xiao Zhong's class master is not easy to deal with." Lu Mingze sighed with a smile.

"I've been rejected by her several times."

"Miss Gu, forgive me for taking the liberty of making money, businessmen must make money. If you can convince me, I'm willing to accompany you to talk to Xiao Zhong's class master. ”

Gu Qingdai saw that Lu Mingze was so dignified, and she also became cautious: "The Lion Dancing Tea House will become the No. 1 teahouse in Luancheng." ”

Lu Mingze felt that her tone was a little big.

"Lu Gongzi should have heard who I had invited, and he should have known that my tea house had been renovated to the final stage. In the future, it will be an honor for any opera troupe to sing in us. ”

"Do you want to create a ...... with the Zhong family opera troupe? Branding? ”

Gu Qingdai nodded in acknowledgement.

"Miss Gu, who is so ambitious, now deigns to do things in our family, I have to doubt your strength." Lu Mingze hit the nail on the head.

"Lu Gongzi succeeded by inheriting the family business, and Gu Qingdai was slower to rely on his own hands."

Lu Mingze looked at Gu Qingdai through the rearview mirror in the car for a long time.

He decided to give her a hand.
