Second Piano Concerto

When Cao Nan and the others saw Qin Haiou like this, they started booing on the spot: "Finished wine, fined wine! Drink three glasses first!"

Nalan Jin took the flower and said: "Who said you will be punished? I like this flower very much." As he spoke, he took off a jasmine, pinned it to the button of his skirt, and said, "I am the biggest today, I have the final say, you guys Don't make fooling around."

Cao Nan and the others continued to yell, but they saw Liu Yang walking over with a tray full of snacks and side dishes, and Tan Shuo followed her, also holding a hand full of things, chewing something in his mouth .

Liu Yang put the tray on the table, and criticized: "There are so many people stuck here, and they don't know how to come to the kitchen to help me serve food. You all should learn from Tan Shuo."

Zhao Feidao: "Are you sure Lao Tan is here to help you serve food?"

Xiao Hei said: "Is there a few dishes missing in the kitchen, go and count them!"

Cao Nan said: "We all learn from him, you don't even have any plates left here."

Everyone burst into laughter.Tan Shuo put down the things in his hand, saw Jasmine on the lapel of Nalan brocade in a blink of an eye, hurriedly approached Zhuzhu and asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"

Zhuzhu glanced at Qin Haiou, and whispered back: "It's passed, don't mention it, you'll be fine."

Tan Shuo breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately actively diverted everyone's attention: "Come on, fill up the wine! Where are the candles on the cake? Plug them all in!"

When he yelled like this, it really made people forget about the gift and fine wine.Everyone hurriedly inserted the candles, and Nalan Jin made a wish, blew out the candles, cut the cake, and went through all the necessary procedures.Then everyone ate and drank, chatted and chatted together in twos and threes, and the scene gradually became chaotic and lively.

Nalan Jin talked with Zhuzhu for a while, and when he turned around and saw Tan Shuo was still eating alone at the table, he came over and sat beside him.

"Old Tan," she looked at him with a slight smile, "Today is a good day for you."

Tan Shuo picked up the last piece of sweet and sour short ribs and nodded again and again: "No! Ms. Liu's pork ribs are the most authentic, even Xiao Hei can't compare to them. You guys don't eat them, you really don't understand life."

Nalan Jin lowered his head and suppressed a smile, and it took a while before he regained his composure, and said again: "The flowers are so fragrant, thank you."

Tan Shuo proudly said: "Hehe, I picked it myself, can it not smell good?"

Nalan Jin couldn't hold back his mouth, and was about to hold back, so he hurriedly got up and walked away.

On the other side, Qin Haiou called Liu Yang aside and asked her about the house.

He knew that there were several old houses near Liu'an, some were inhabited, and some were vacant all the time, but they were not open for rent, so he wanted to ask her if there was any way to rent such an empty house.

Liu Yang was taken aback when she heard the words. She knew that Qin Haiou was helping Tan Shuo to find out, so she lowered her voice and said, "Even if there is a way, Tan Shuo will not agree."

"Why?" Qin Haiou asked in a low voice.

"It's too expensive." Liu Yang said.

The old houses near Liu'an are all courtyards with a long history and history, and there are many rooms in them. Even if they are rented out and sold, they will be traded as a set. It is impossible to use them for a small business like a rice noodle shop.Don't say that Tan Shuo can't afford to rent such a house now, even if he sells the rice noodle shop, he still can't afford to rent it.

Liu Yang knew in his heart that Qin Haiou probably came up with this method that was completely unsuitable for Tan Shuo because he had no experience in this field and was not good at thinking about money.But what Qin Haiou thought was actually a little more complicated.

After helping Tan Shuo find a house these days, Qin Haiou already knew Tan Shuo's budget for renting a house. He didn't intend to let Tan Shuo rent such a house directly, because it was obviously impossible for Tan Shuo.He was thinking that if he could rent out the house and rent out the one on the street to Tan Shuo at the current rent price of the rice noodle shop, then the problem would be solved.

But this method is not a long-term solution, and there are still many uncertain factors in it, so Qin Haiou only thought about it in his heart, and did not express this idea immediately.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Yang comforted him: "There is still some time until the end of the month. If we help you find it together, you may not be able to find it... In fact, Brother Long is the best way to do this, but his daughter is on summer vacation. The whole family is out of town, and they won't be back until the beginning of next month. If you still can't find it by the end of the month, let the landlord give it a few more days, and wait for Brother Long to come back, maybe he can find a way."

While listening to her, Qin Haiou thought about his own thoughts, but he didn't have a better idea for a moment, so he remained silent.

After a busy day, Tan Shuo finally had enough food and drink, so he wanted to smoke a cigarette to relax.He saw Ah Si squatting alone in a corner smoking a cigarette, so he walked over and squatted beside him, taking out his own cigarette.

"Why don't you go drink?" Tan Shuo asked while lighting a cigarette.

Ah Si looked preoccupied and didn't answer.

Qin Haiou turned his head and saw that Tan Shuo had finished his meal, so he wanted to talk to him, so he left Liu Yang and walked towards the two of them.As soon as he approached, Ah Si stood up and walked away.Qin Haiou glanced at him, didn't pay attention, went straight to Tan Shuo and squatted down, and said in a low voice, "I've almost finished practicing "Fantasy". When will you come to listen to it?"

Ever since he discovered Qin Haiou's crux, Tan Shuo began to ask him to practice some simple tunes on purpose.He hoped that Qin Haiou could forget about technique for a while, but it is not as easy for Qin Haiou to do this as it is for ordinary piano learners. Therefore, the most direct and effective way is to let him play those pieces that are not technically difficult for him. song.

However, this alone is not enough to achieve the desired effect of Tan Shuo.Tan Shuo wanted Qin Haiou to put more thought into music while forgetting about technology. For this reason, he deliberately selected some works that are very simple in technology but have a certain depth in art.He was not in a hurry for success, and he didn't tell Qin Haiou the whole story. He only brought up these works during normal chats and suggested Qin Haiou to practice more.

Qin Haiou didn't know why Tan Shuo asked him to practice these pieces, but he trusted Tan Shuo, playing in front of Tan Shuo made him feel very relaxed, and he also wanted Tan Shuo's approval, so he would practice whatever Tan Shuo asked him to practice After practicing, I will play it to Tan Shuo and see what Tan Shuo will say.In the past, Wang Yifu gave him a lot of guidance, but Tan Shuo never really taught him anything, but constantly inspired him to generate more ideas.Qin Haiou enjoyed this process very much. Those musical notes that he hadn't paid attention to carefully before have now become toys that he can play with repeatedly.

Recently Tan Shuo asked Qin Haiou to practice Schumann's "Fantasia". This piece is short in length, slow in rhythm and simple in melody, but there are rich emotions behind the sparse notes.If you just play it, it's a very simple thing, but if you want to express the emotion in it, it will be a great test for the player's musical accomplishment.Qin Haiou can play this piece even with his eyes closed, but after playing it over and over for the past few days, he found that these simple notes seem to have some kind of magical power. Every time he plays it, he feels that there is more and deeper content to be discovered , so that he had a feeling that the more he played, the harder he played.

The more you play, the more difficult it is, but the more you play, the more interesting it is.Qin Haiou figured out several different performances, the changes in which were extremely subtle, and he couldn't wait to play it to Tan Shuo, but Tan Shuo was too busy recently, Qin Haiou asked twice, and it happened that Tan Shuo was going to see the house.

Tan Shuo also knew that Qin Haiou had been holding back for several days, so when he heard him ask again, he said, "Tomorrow morning! I don't have to look at the house tomorrow." Then he complained, "The weather is too hot. If only I could soak it in the river and smoke it!"

Qin Haiou said: "I have seen a Cuban guitarist who can smoke a cigar while swimming. The cigarette will not get wet at all, and he can smoke it in breaststroke and backstroke."

Tan Shuo smiled and said, "That's not bad! If I have free time, I will also go to the river in Dongtou to practice."

Qin Haiou said: "No, there are security patrols over there, and they won't let them go down the river. If they are caught, they will be fined 200 each time."

Tan Shuo was surprised: "When did it happen? It didn't happen last year!"

Qin Haiou said: "I don't know either. I saw it when I was running. There was an uncle who got into the water in the dark, but he didn't know that the patrolling people were hiding behind the trees, and he was caught as soon as he stepped into the water." Living."

"It's too sinister!" Tan Shuo was very angry, so he recalled the days when there were no tourists in the town, and everyone could go down to the river to take a bath.The two were chatting vigorously, and suddenly found that everyone was gathering towards the small door in the backyard for some reason.There was no light in that place, and the light was very dark. From Tan Shuo and Qin Haiou, we could only vaguely see Xiao Hei waving at them, as if to let them pass.

"What's wrong?" Tan Shuo asked.

Xiao Hei made a silent gesture while running back, and then pulled Tan Shuo towards the small door.

Tan Shuo had no choice but to follow him.Seeing that he was the only one left in the blink of an eye, Qin Haiou also got up and followed.

The three of them came to the wall next to the door, and Xiao Hei repeatedly gestured for silence. Everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, and the surrounding area was very quiet. Tan Shuo and Qin Haiou soon heard voices coming from outside the wall, so carefully distinguish them It turned out to be Ah Si and Nalan Jin.

I just heard Nalan Jin say: "...I can't agree, it's impossible."

"Why?" Ah Si asked.

Nalan Jin was silent for a moment, then said, "Because I have someone I like."

This sentence caused a stir in the wall, and everyone expressed their shock with expressions.Cao Nan kept mouthing "Who is it? Who is it?" Zhao Fei went to see Liu Yang and Zhu Zhu, hoping to get an answer from them, but they also looked at a loss.

At this time, Qin Haiou had also understood what was going on outside the wall. He thought it was not good to eavesdrop like this, but everyone else was very excited. Looking at Tan Shuo again, he was maintaining order and beckoning everyone not to make noise. didn't move.

At this moment, Ah Si also asked, "Who is it?"

Everyone held their breath and focused, but Nalan Jin did not make a sound.

Ah Si was also silent, and after a while he said again: "I'll know if you don't tell me."

He seemed to become agitated after saying this, and continued on his own: "What's so good about him, you are so toward him? Don't you think he is playing with you? He is rich, but So what if you have money, can money make you happy?"

Nalan Jin finally spoke again: "If you don't know him well, don't judge him presumptuously."

Ah Si said: "Then do you know him well? How long have you known him? You don't even know his origin!"

There was another silent commotion inside the wall. Everyone was guessing, but no one could guess.Qin Haiou thought silently, it turned out that Ah Si liked Xiao Jin, but Xiao Jin liked someone else. Not only did he not know about this, but he didn't even see any traces of it, but seeing Tan Shuo and Cao Nan Their expressions seemed to be unknown to everyone, so they felt that they were not slow.

They were guessing, but when they heard Nalan Jin say "I don't want to argue with you about this", the small door was suddenly pushed open.The people inside the wall didn't expect the conversation to end so quickly, they were so shocked that they couldn't hide it, and Nalan Jin walked in from the door before they even got their poses right.

When Nalan Jin entered the door and saw everyone's embarrassing expressions, he immediately understood.However, she was relatively calm, walking back silently with her head bowed.

Zhao Fei looked outside the door, then turned back and said, "Where is Si?"

"Let's go?" Xiao Hei said.

Cao Nan couldn't help but catch up with Nalan Jin and asked, "Sister Jin, tell us who you're looking for? Do we know this person?"

Nalan Jin shook his head and did not speak.

Cao Nan was not reconciled, so Xiao Hei wanted to surround him, but Tan Shuo grabbed him back: "Didn't you say you want to cook longevity noodles? Noodles!"

Xiao Hei was stunned: "Oh! That's right! Longevity noodles, longevity noodles!" Then he ran to the kitchen.

Zhu Zhu said to Cao Nan: "Xiao Jin doesn't want to talk, so don't ask! The little girl is not as gossipy as you are!"

Cao Nan refused to accept it, and immediately yelled.Qin Haiou looked at the crowd and then at Nalan Jin, but Nalan Jin never raised his eyes.
