marriage contract

"It works?" Gu Chengzhi was a little puzzled.

"That's right, get up and let's go." Chu Junyi hooked his fingers at him.

Gu Chengzhi was speechless for a moment, but he got up and went back to the main room.

In the small study room at the west end of the main room, in addition to desks, chairs, soft couch with bookshelves, there is also a piano table. After fetching the Guqin and moving a chair, Chu Junyi is also satisfied after all the preparations are done. nodded.

Gu Chengzhi, who was standing by the side, raised his eyebrows. Most of these things are done by servants, unless he is a person who loves the piano, he is reluctant to let others touch his piano, but he doesn't think Chu Junyi is That kind of person, but judging from his actions, he should have done a lot.

After thinking about it, I felt that I could understand it. After living together for a few months, I got to know each other a little bit. They didn't really like being surrounded by waiters.It was because of the habits he had developed during those few years at the border, and Chu Junyi...should have been stimulated by those "zombie faces". into his room.

As soon as Chu Junyi sat down, he began to adjust the sound of the piano. He raised his head when he felt that it was okay after a few dials. Seeing that Gu Chengzhi was still standing aside, he was stunned for a moment, then pointed to the soft couch next to him and said, "Lie down. "

"..." Gu Chengzhi looked at him, then at the couch, took two steps and sat on it.

"Letting you lie down is not letting you sit." Chu Junyi shook his finger, looking like an old god.

Gu Chengzhi glanced at him again, turned around and lay down. He folded his arms and tilted his head, intending to see what kind of medicine he was selling in this gourd.

Seeing that the person was already lying down, Chu Junyi turned his eyes back to the piano, and tried to pluck the strings again, adjusting the inaccurate sound. When he was done, he took a deep breath, half-slumped He closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

If you want to play the piano well, you must first be "quiet", not only the environment must be quiet, but the mind of the player must also be calm.

The distant and deep sound of the piano sounded, and the melody was soothing and peaceful, as if it could reverberate to the bottom of my heart.

A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Chengzhi's eyes. He glanced over the piano, and he could roughly tell that it was a good piano, and it was not too young, otherwise it would be impossible to produce such a tone.

But what surprised him even more was Chu Junyi's piano skills, he didn't expect to be able to play it so well.

He is good at literature and martial arts, but he is not good at musical instruments, but this does not mean that he has no appreciation ability. His teacher is very good at piano art, and he has some understanding of rhythm from childhood.

Chu Junyi's heart is quieter than he imagined, but even a little impatience can't play such a piano sound. It didn't take him long from preparing to play the piano to starting to play the piano. If his psychological quality is not strong enough to quickly If you can't control your mind, then it can only be that his state of mind has been calm and unwavering, and he can keep him in this state at any time.

Seeing Chu Junyi's fingers walking back and forth on the strings, listening to the soothing and deep sound of the piano, Gu Chengzhi frowned slightly.

There seems to be something unusual in the sound of the piano, it is not obvious but when it appears, it feels very abrupt, as if...

At the end of the song, Chu Junyi stared blankly at Qin in front of him for a while, but when he raised his head, his eyes widened and he asked, "Why didn't you sleep?!"

Gu Chengzhi, who was still thinking about the unusual trace in the sound of the piano just now, was taken aback by his question, sat up and wondered, "Why should I sleep?"

"Eh..." Chu Junyi was a little stuck, how should he explain this...

Gu Chengzhi remembered what he said before, and asked, "Does it make you fall asleep when you play the piano? Who said it? Father?"

"En..." Chu Junyi touched his nose in embarrassment, and then said, "My father has never listened to the end of the song, and every time he fell asleep halfway through the song..."

"..." Gu Chengzhi really didn't realize this.

"You really don't want to sleep?" Chu Junyi asked again.

Gu Chengzhi shook his head, and took another look at the piano, "You play it very well."

"Thank you." Chu Junyi noticed his gaze, and he also shifted his gaze to the piano, and said softly: "This piano is left by my mother. My mother's piano skills are superb. I learned this piano from my mother." .”

"Father will fall asleep listening to you playing the piano, but what about mother?" Gu Chengzhi asked.

"Mother can't." Chu Junyi looked up at him again, making sure that he really didn't want to sleep, then he said doubtfully: "Every time my father suffers from insomnia or is upset, he will ask me to play the piano for him. If you can sleep, why doesn't it affect you?"

Gu Chengzhi was left speechless by his question, it's not strange to fall asleep listening to the sound of the piano, but it's strange that he falls asleep every time he hears the sound of the piano, okay?

"Why don't you keep playing?" Gu Chengzhi suggested.

Chu Junyi nodded, feeling that the proposal was acceptable, and he also wanted to see if Gu Chengzhi could sleep.

"Why do you want me to sleep?" Gu Chengzhi suddenly thought of this question. Originally, he was supposed to be reading in the front study, but now he started to study the issue of sleeping...

Chu Junyi's eyes moved sideways unconsciously, and his face was a little unnatural.

Gu Chengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly, lowered his voice and said, "Speak."

Chu Junyi's body froze, the feeling of scalp numbness came again, and the cold hair on his body entered the fighting state again, he moved his body a little awkwardly.

"I just feel that you are studying hard in the study, while I am sleeping with my head covered on the bed... I'm a little stressed..." Chu Junyi said slowly, and even wiped a hand on his forehead that didn't exist yet. The sweat that always feels like it's coming soon.

"..." Gu Chengzhi was speechless for a moment before he said: "Haven't you always been like this, why do you suddenly feel stressed? It's like when I practice martial arts, you sleep again."

"Who said that?! I was watching when you were practicing sword!" Chu Junyi retorted, and after thinking about it, he added: "I mean after the full moon, the previous ones don't count!"

"..." Gu Chengzhi rolled his eyes and asked, "Are you still playing?"

"Now, close your eyes this time." Chu Junyi felt that he didn't sleep just because he had his eyes open.

Gu Chengzhi glanced at him and lay back on the soft couch, and closed his eyes under Chu Junyi's burning gaze.

This time the tune has been changed, but the feeling of the long and long piano sound has not changed, and it also has a little more distant feeling, which is deep and pleasant, which is very pleasant.

But Gu Chengzhi frowned again, and that sense of discord reappeared, what exactly was it?

This song plays the mountains and forests, the thick peaks, the gentle breeze, the luxuriant vegetation and the active...creatures...

- Creatures!

Gu Chengzhi suddenly opened his eyes. When he looked at Chu Junyi, there was still a strange color on his face. After observing for a while, he saw that Chu Junyi didn't notice him, so he closed his eyes again.

He already knows what the dissonance in the sound of the piano is. Chu Junyi's sound lacks vitality. Whether it is mountains, rivers, wind and rain, or vegetation, he plays it very well, but when it comes to life, the sound of the piano will be become bland.

Third Master Chu would fall asleep when he heard him playing the piano, but Mrs. Third Chu would not. If Mr. Third Chu didn't find the problem with the sound of the piano, what about Mrs. Third Chu?

Chu Junyi said that Mrs. Chu's piano skills are superb, so could she also not find the problem in Chu Junyi's piano sound?

It is said that words are like a person, and the sound of the piano should also reflect a person's heart.

Chu Junyi's piano sound lacks vitality, does that mean that his heart also...

"If you don't want to listen, you don't have to force it."

Chu Junyi's voice reached Gu Chengzhi's ears. When he opened his eyes, he realized that the sound of the piano had stopped, and Chu Junyi was sitting there looking at him helplessly.

"It's not that I don't want to hear it, it's just..." Gu Chengzhi suddenly wanted to ask him if he knew about the sound of the piano, he hesitated for a while but still asked: "Do you know that there is something missing in your sound of the piano? "

Chu Junyi was taken aback for a moment, then as if thinking of something, he waited for a while before saying: "My mother also said it, but I don't know it, you know?"

Gu Chengzhi didn't answer, but just asked, "What did mother say?"

"Mother said, let me find the answer myself." Chu Junyi was still puzzled.

Gu Chengzhi nodded, closed his eyes and lay down again, "Then find it yourself, I'll sleep for a while."

Chu Junyi was still a little dazed, what did he mean by this?

When Gu Chengzhi opened his eyes again, it was already afternoon, and the piano table and guqin next to him had been cleaned up. When he walked out of the small study, he hesitated and turned into the bedroom. Chu Junyi was lying on the bed and fell asleep quietly. , but frowned slightly.

He stood by the bed and looked at it for a while, then turned and left the main room.

After that day, Chu Junyi often stayed in the small study, playing a piece of music from time to time, but he still didn't find the problem in the sound of the piano. He knew that Gu Chengzhi couldn't speak, so he didn't ask.

Gu Chengzhi would sometimes go to the small study to listen to him play, and then leave without saying a word.

The winter solstice was coming in a blink of an eye, and the family was supposed to gather around to eat dumplings, but Sanfang was excluded again.

In this regard, Chu Junyi has long accepted the strangeness, and Gu Chengzhi didn't regard the Chu family as his relatives, so naturally he didn't care.

In the afternoon, a girl came to Sanfang to spread the word, saying that the old lady Chu missed her grandson, and asked Chu Junyi to come over.

Chu Junyi greeted Gu Chengzhi, and then went to Mrs. Chu's yard with the corners of his mouth twitching.

In other words, he hasn't seen Mrs. Chu for several months, and he was stopped outside the courtyard to greet him on the first and fifteenth day of the new year. Now he suddenly says that he misses him. Is it because of something wrong with his ears or Mrs. Chu's brain? problem?

Entering the main room, I saw the old lady Chu sitting on the Luohan bed, and there were four wives and four grandmas of the Chu family below.

The people are so neat... Chu Junyi rolled his eyes in his heart.

After seeing the ceremony one by one, the room became quiet again, and the atmosphere became very dull.

Chu Junyi bowed his head and stood silent.

When Mrs. Chu saw Chu Junyi standing below loading logs, she felt very angry, but she still smiled and said, "Xiao Liu, I called you here today because I have something to tell you."

"Oh." Chu Junyi bowed his head in response.

Mrs. Chu began to grind her teeth, and after grinding her teeth, she smiled and said, "You see, you are not too young. It is shameful that there is not even a room in the house. In this way, Auntie will help you to be the master and raise two girls for you." When Tong Fang, the third house can't be extinct, right?"

At this time, Chu Junyi raised his head and looked at Mrs. Chu coldly.
