Be green tea in a British noble school

Chapter 6 Green Tea Playing the Piano

After saying this, Tai Tan immediately regretted it: he is a big young master with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he can't speak his brains, but it doesn't mean he has no brains.

He can tease Shanchu, but he knows he can't complain about the Earl.

Meanwhile, Emily, Toby, and Brighton all cast "what the fuck are you talking about" looks at him.

Tai Tan immediately bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Earl. I didn't mean to say such words."

Shan Chu secretly smiled: So the usually mighty and domineering Titan would bow his head and apologize like this?

It's just that Tai Tan only apologized to the Earl, but completely ignored Shan Chu.

But the Earl felt that Tai Tan was a fool, but he still smiled and said, "Nothing, nothing." After speaking, Earl Gray looked at Shanchu again and said, "Please don't worry about it."

It was only at this time that Shanchu had a good impression of Earl Gray: No matter whether Earl Gray was pretending or not, he at least knew basic manners.

Soon, several guests came to the room one after another, all young masters and young ladies with certain family backgrounds.As a person of yellow race, Shanchu was very out of place among these people.

In Emily's words, she also pointed a gun at Shanchu, saying: "I heard that Asian students can't do anything except study. Is this true?"

Shan Chu thought to himself: Ah, are you noble ladies so low in rank?It's really low to taunt directly.

So, Shan Chu said weakly: "I heard that you are all very talented, I am really envious."

Emily didn't expect Shanchu to be so calm, so she held back all of a sudden.

But Brighton couldn't understand it, so he said, "Shanchu can play the piano."

Shan Chu was choked: Don't praise me, you should force me to perform later.

Sure enough, Emily's eyes lit up: "Really? Why don't you play a song for everyone?"

Shanchu was really speechless, thinking: My piano is at an amateur level.Anyone present who knows a little about piano appreciation can hear it.

Emily smiled again: "Speaking of which, I can also play the piano, why don't we play one song each, it can be regarded as adding to everyone's fun."

Shanchu understood: It's over, Emily must be at the performance level.

Shanchu guessed right, Emily is at the performance level, and has even held solo recitals.

Emily sat gracefully by the piano by the window and began to play.

The teens in the room quieted down out of politeness and listened to Emily play.

Emily wanted to show off her skills, so she rang the "Bell" when she came up.

Shan Chu knew that he was definitely no match for this young lady who had been trained by the devil since she was a child.

However, Shan Chu looked around with his eyes and found that the people present were paying attention at first, but after a few minutes, [-]% of the people began to lose sight, almost saying "Hurry up and finish playing, it's so boring" on their faces ".

Shan Chu understood at first thought that those who can sit here are either rich or expensive, that is to say, they are either like Earl Grey, who has a very high musical literacy and is used to listening to masters since childhood, so Emily is a little immature. Their expressiveness is not enough to amaze them. After all, no matter how good Emily plays, she can’t reach the level of a master; or it’s torture for them to listen to a piano piece attentively, even if Toby has no musical literacy. Even if Liszt climbed out of the coffin and played the piano for them on the spot, they would still yawn.

And Emily didn't want to understand this, she was only immersed in the emotion of "I can play such a difficult piece so fluently, my mother is so awesome", and she didn't pay attention to the expressions of the audience, just jingling "The Bell" ", during which he closed his eyes in narcissism.

At the end of the song, the audience applauded very cooperatively. Toby, who obviously didn't understand art, was still there, bragging: "It's great! Chopin can come back to life after listening to it!"

Brighton said: "This is Lister."

Toby was not embarrassed at all: "Can't Chopin live for Liszt?"

"..."

Emily smiled lightly, pretending to be modest: "I'm just making a fool of myself, but I want to hear Shanchu's performance."

Shanchu knew that he couldn't play a better piece than her, but he probably didn't need to.

Shanchu smiled and said, "Mine is just an amateur. Not one ten-thousandth of Emily's."

Emily knew that Shanchu must be inferior to herself, so she said, "Don't be humble, come here!"

Shanchu said: "Then I will play a piece that can represent our country's culture."

After finishing speaking, Shanchu sat by the piano and played "The Butterfly Lovers".

Everyone present had heard "The Bell", but most of them were listening to "The Butterfly Lovers" for the first time, so they felt a little fresh and continued to listen with interest.

The difficulty of this song is not high, and Shanchu can handle it easily, so he has enough time to make facial expressions and make eye contact with the audience.He played the piece in a short way to avoid the audience getting bored. At the same time, he rolled his eyes, and inadvertently swept his gaze over each audience, keeping the audience's attention at any time.

Shanchu is not as self-absorbed as Emily, who insists on showing herself in front of amateur audiences in large sections.

In order to keep the audience from getting bored easily, Shanchu only played a short piece, and finished it soon, which made people feel unfinished—it’s not that he played it well, but that he didn’t play it badly. His posture is really lovely and affectionate.

This piece is full of oriental sentiment, and it is played by an oriental beauty, bathed in the afternoon sun by the window, like an oil painting.

If Emily's performance is for listening, then Shanchu's performance is for watching.

Brighton knew that Emily played "The Bell" well, but he couldn't help but linger on Shanchu.

There is such a special charm in Shanchu.

Even Tai Tan, who doesn't like the piano and doesn't like Shanchu, is inexplicably quickened by Shanchu's eyes: Fuck, why do I think this idiot looks a little good-looking?

At the end of the song, Shan Chu smiled and said, "Thank you for listening to this song from China."

Earl Gray felt that Shanchu's playing was quite amateurish, but people said that this piece represented Chinese culture. Out of political correctness, Earl Gray must boast: "Ah, Chinese culture is really fascinating. This The first piece is very artistic and has unique cultural characteristics, which is really amazing."

Now that Earl Gray agreed, the others also agreed.Those who don't know the piano think Shanchu is better, and those who know the piano don't dare to disagree with Earl Gray, so everyone praises Shanchu's piano skills.

Emily was so angry that she almost pouted: Are everyone deaf? !Or is everyone gay? !Are you all fascinated by this contrived sissy who plays the piano and poses at the same time?

However, Emily insists that she is a lady, and she cannot jump up and question everyone's hearing or sexual orientation.

She could only smile and said, "Shanchu plays really well. I can't compare to it."

Shan Chu hurriedly said: "How come? You are a professional when you hear it. Compared with you, I am very amateur."

Toby sneered and said, "Are you worthy of competing with Emily? No need to compare, you are also an amateur."

Shan Chu nodded: "Yes, you are right."

Toby just felt a punch on the cotton, very weak.

Shanchu's piano skills are indeed inferior to Emily's, so there is nothing wrong with admitting it.

It's just that Toby's being so aggressive made Emily look bad.

Brighton said, "Toby, don't be so rude."

Toby blushed with anger: "Brighton, why are you defending this big asshole?"

Seeing that the scene was a bit ugly, Earl Gray said, "Emily and Shanchu both played well. Actually, there is no need to compare. This is not a competition."

Although Toby was not angry, he could only nod his head and say yes: "Yes, Lord Earl."

Shanchu looked at Toby's uplifting and stepping down like this, it was funny, he squinted his eyes and didn't speak.

In this tea party, everyone talked separately, and after Brighton was taken away, Shanchu immediately placed an order.Fortunately, Emily only cared about courting Earl Grey at this time, and Toby also followed Emily, so no one came to make trouble for Shanchu.

Shan Chu sat down on the sofa and was about to have tea, when he saw a young master sitting beside him, reaching out to him: "Hey, hello, my name is Zhefu."

Zhefu is also a student of the Athens Academy, not only that, he is the president of the student union of the Athens Academy, and he can be regarded as a man of the hour.

Zhefu took the initiative to talk to himself, and Shanchu smiled respectfully: "I've heard of you, you are the president of the student union. Your work is very admirable."

"Not to mention, the so-called president of the student union exists to serve every student. It is my honor that you are satisfied." Zeff smiled slightly, and those emerald eyes seemed to glow.

Shan Chu nodded and said, "I also want to serve every student."

Zhefu raised his eyebrows: "You also want to be the president of the student union?"

"That's not true." Shan Chu smiled, "How can I have such a good ability? I just want to be a valuable member. It's just that I didn't come in last semester, and it's too late to sign up now."

"If you have this intention, it's not too late." Zhefu said.

Shanchu showed a flattered expression, but he thought in his heart: I don't want to work under Zhefu.

If Shanchu is only bored with the Titans and Toby who bullied him, then he hates Zhefu.

However, Shan Chu has learned to keep a decent smile on people he hates, just like a mature hypocrite, who can be as gentle as jade when looking at shit.

But even so, spending too much time with poop can be uncomfortable.

Shanchu apologized first.

Although Zhefu is young, he is also a fine individual, and he can feel the rejection behind Shanchu's gentle smile.

This surprised Zhefu, he felt that it should be easy for him to gain Shanchu's trust.

But Shan Chu turned and left ungratefully, walking towards Earl Gray.Lord Gray smiled at him.Meanwhile, Toby and Emily cast unfriendly glances at Sun Chu.

Shan Chu pretended not to see it, but it would be inconvenient to talk to Earl Gray if they were there.So he asked Lord Gray himself, "Can I have two minutes?"

"If it's for you," Earl Gray said with a smile, "it can take 10 minutes." The afternoon sun shone into his blue eyeballs, shining as clear as glass beads.

The author says:

Regarding "The Butterfly Lovers", I always thought that this song should be very famous, but when I went abroad, I found that many foreigners had never heard of it, and many of them were from the Conservatory of Music, and many violin learners had never heard of this song.I was kind of surprised myself.Later, I found out that the most famous Chinese song overseas seems to be "Jasmine Flower"? (It’s also my own body feeling, not necessarily correct)
