After rebirth, I became Qingmei's white moonlight

Chapter 246 Chapter 244 Meeting a Famous Teacher at a Concert

"Little Deer, are you planning to go to the concert with Little Tree today?"

On the second day of New Year's Day, Qi Wanling couldn't wait to call Jiang Shu after seeing her daughter had just finished breakfast. When she thought about the two of them going on a date again, her face was filled with smiles.

"Yes, I made an appointment with Xiaoshu a long time ago." Bai Lu nodded: "However, it's not just Xiaoshu and I, there are also Zhuzhu and Yaoyao. The four of us will go together."

Qi Wanling was stunned: "Why are Zhuzhu and Yaoyao still here? Aren't there only two tickets?"

"Well, I invited Zhuzhu and Yaoyao to go, and then Xiaoshu somehow found a scalper to buy two tickets for today."

"Uh……"

Qi Wanling's breathing stagnated, and he didn't know what to say for a moment. Should he praise his daughter for her innocence or praise the boy for his ability?

But my daughter, do you know why I only bought two tickets instead of four? Isn't it just to create the best conditions for you and Xiaoshu to date?
Qi Wanling had mixed feelings, but since things had come to this point, he could only let them go.

She couldn't help but start to doubt herself, wondering if she was thinking about some things too early, as if she was trying to snatch a man for her daughter in advance.

It turns out that the adult world is too dirty and not as innocent as children.

"Mom, Xiaoshu sent me a message, so I'm going out." Bailu said.

"Would you like to come back for lunch?"

"Well, I probably won't be back."

"Well, be careful out there, okay? Do you have any money? Take some."

"No, no, I have it. Goodbye, Mom."

Watching her daughter go out happily, Qi Wanling sighed softly, hoping that she was overthinking it.

"Hello, hello everyone~" Bai Lu greeted everyone with a smile.

Jiang Shu looked at the energetic little deer and smiled: "Should we go to the concert directly or go shopping?"

"Let's go straight away. Hurry up. It will start in half an hour." Bai Lu urged.

The Jiazhou concert lasts for three days, with one show per day, and the content and time of each show are different.

Today's session started at 9:00 a.m. and ended at 11:30 p.m. Those who watched the concert yesterday were full of praise for the entire concert.

Jiang Shu hailed a taxi on the roadside and headed straight to the Xinyouxin Theater on East Street.

他坐在副驾驶，从随身挎包里拿出两张音乐会门票递后边儿去，跟白鹿拥有的两张门票一样，上面时间写着1月2号上午9:00-11:30。

The downside was that the seat numbers for the tickets bought from the scalper were not in the same row as Bai Lu's, which meant that the four of us had to be separated into groups of two.

He scratched his head and said, "Divide up and team up with each other."

Bai Lu pursed her lips. She definitely wanted to sit with Xiaoshu, but she was afraid that Zhuzhu would be unhappy.

Xu Xinzhu was also thinking about this problem. In her opinion, Xiaoshu and Xiaolu should have come to watch the show together today, and she and Yaoyao were both superfluous.

If I shamelessly snatch the tree away again, the deer will definitely be very unhappy, right?

Moreover, she had many opportunities to be alone with Xiaoshu, and they even slept in the same bed, but Xiaolu didn't know any of this.

If he had to say that he felt guilty, Xu Xinzhu felt even more sorry for Bai Lu.

"Let Yaoyao and I sit together. We don't understand music and we're just here for fun. We won't disturb Xiaolu from enjoying this audio-visual feast."

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhu Zhu and asked, "Really?"

"Of course, it's more real than real gold! Hehehe~"

"Thank you, Zhuzhu."

"You're welcome, we're good friends!"

Zhong Yaoyao looked at the two of them in a daze. She also wanted to sit with Brother Xiaoshu, but Sister Zhuzhu and Sister Xiaolu seemed to subconsciously ignore her.

Seeing Zhuzhu actually gave in on her own initiative, Jiang Shu felt a little happy in his heart. This girl has definitely grown up.

A few minutes later, the four got off the car in front of the theater. They followed the crowd into the theater and saw that the theater was not very large. Including the small second floor, it could only seat less than four hundred people.

At this time, a group of old men and women with an average age of 40 or 50 years old were sitting on the stage, all holding erhu in their hands. The screen showed their organization, which was the Erhu Association in the city.

Jiang Shu thought it was quite interesting, so he pulled Bai Lu to sit in the front middle seat, while Xu Xinzhu and Zhong Yaoyao sat slightly to the back.

“Is Xiaolu familiar with the erhu?”

Bai Lu stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm not very familiar with it. I tried it at the beginning, but later I found that the people who liked to play the erhu were all grandpas and grandmas, so I stopped learning."

Jiang Shu chuckled and said, "The erhu, as a traditional musical instrument of the Chinese nation, has a very long history."

But as Bai Lu said, playing the erhu always gives people a feeling of being old-fashioned, and the music is always gloomy and sad. Under the long-term solidification of thinking, erhu playing is almost equivalent to street performing.

To put it more bluntly, in the eyes of many children and even parents, playing the erhu is rustic, while the piano and violin are elegant, noble and tasteful, giving people a strong sense of sophistication.

It can even be said that in many cities, there is not even a systematic and scientific education model for the erhu. However, many famous Western musical instruments, which symbolize the literary and artistic aristocracy, already have a mature training system.

In such a comparison, it is no wonder that fewer and fewer children like traditional classical instruments.

Even if Jiang Shu was given a choice, he would probably prefer to play the more gentlemanly piano rather than the erhu.

He suddenly understood why the Municipal Radio and Television Station and the Cultural Bureau wanted to hold such a concert and let the Municipal Erhu Association take the lead. It was probably to promote traditional culture.

After a brief opening speech by the host, today's concert officially kicked off.

Dozens of erhus started playing at the same time, and the whole theater was suddenly filled with a sad atmosphere. Bai Lu whispered, "It's Erquan Yingyue."

Jiang Shu suddenly realized that this was said to be the representative work of A Bing, a blind erhu player. He suffered a lot in his life, and this piece of music was almost integrated into his life experience and emotions. No wonder the melody was so sad.

He turned his head and looked at Bai Lu who was listening quietly with her eyes closed. Although she was studying piano, music has different paths but the same goal, so they could always find common ground.

A few minutes later, Erquan Yingyue, which sounded sad and painful, slowly ended, and Bai Lu had mixed emotions.

Since she awakened her extraordinary musical sense, her understanding of the emotions expressed by music has also deepened. This is why the teacher of the interest class said that there was nothing more to teach her.

"They played well, but I still like the piano." Bai Lu whispered. Jiang Shu patted her hand gently: "There is no good or bad instrument, each has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you like it, just chase your dream. We are just here to listen to the music today, don't think too much."

"Ok!"

Bai Lu nodded. Today's concert was like an experience for her to see the world. She could feel the charm of different musical instruments and experience how the real music masters incorporated their own emotions into the music.

Only by realizing the gap can we make better progress!
Afterwards, the Erhu Association played famous Erhu pieces such as "Horse Racing", "Good Night", "Birdsong in the Empty Mountain" and "Butterfly Lovers". Then the well-known domestic Western symphony orchestra, which was hired by the Municipal Musicians Association at a high price, played seven or eight world famous pieces in a row. All the music lovers present were fascinated by the music.

Xu Xinzhu silently looked at Jiang Shu and Bai Lu who were standing diagonally in front of him and found that they rarely communicated with each other. They would occasionally say a word or two and were mostly listening to the music seriously.

Thinking about it this way, music is not as good as dancing. At least every time she danced, Xiaoshu's eyes were fixed on her.

Huh, huh, huh, you stinky little tree, you big pervert, always staring at her legs and breasts.

The final stage was the piano solo that Bai Lu had been looking forward to for a long time. The performer was a middle-aged woman who was wearing a dress and high heels and had a very elegant temperament.

The host introduced her as a director of the Provincial Piano Society and a member of the Provincial Musicians Association. She graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music and currently teaches at the School of Music of Jiazhou Normal University. She has rich performance experience and superb playing skills, and has won performance awards and guidance awards in many well-known music competitions at home and abroad.

The pieces performed this time were all Chopin's famous piano pieces. Bai Lu was very excited listening to them. This was the pianist in her mind!

The same piece of music was played differently from the one played by the piano teacher. The control of rhythm and melody was simply perfect.

One can imagine how powerful those more advanced piano masters are.

Jiang Shu noticed Xiaolu's expression, and during the intermission, he smiled and said, "Xiaolu, after the concert is over, shall we go get her autograph?"

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment: "Can I sign it?"

"Of course, if you don't want it, let's just go eat."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Bai Lu agreed hurriedly.

"So do you have anything ready to sign?"

"Ah?" Bai Lu looked down and found the small notebook that Jiang Shu had seen before. "Can I sign here?"

"You can sign anywhere you like."

Listening to the performer playing Chopin's E-flat minor Nocturne again, Bai Lu asked nervously, "Xiao Shu, can we really go get her autograph later?"

Jiang Shu looked around carefully. There were not many young people coming to the theater to listen to music. It should not be difficult to find her for an autograph after the concert. Especially for a teacher at a music conservatory, she would probably be happy to do so.

"Well, if you want, leave it to me."

After Jiang Shu finished speaking, he kept silent and signaled Bai Lu to continue listening to the piano music with peace of mind.

Time passed quickly, and at around 11:35 am, today's concert came to a successful conclusion.

Jiang Shu watched the crowd in the theater slowly leave, then turned to Zhuzhu and Yaoyao and shouted, "You two go wait outside for a while. I'm going to take Xiaolu backstage for something."

After saying that, he took Bai Lu's hand and ran to the backstage of the theater.

Xu Xinzhu was stunned by this scene. What were they going to do?

After asking the theater staff, Jiang Shu took Bai Lu all the way to the backstage lounge.

At this time, Liu Liping was removing her makeup. Suddenly, a young couple found her and wanted her autograph. She felt a little surprised.

She is just a music teacher, not a well-known figure. This concert is just an official music exchange event, not a formal competition.

Unexpectedly, after the solo, some people actually became her fans.

"Hello, Teacher Liu. My name is Bai Lu. I am 12 years old and have been learning piano for nearly 7 years. After hearing your solo, I thought it was amazing. I would like to have an autograph from you. Is that possible?" Bai Lu said politely.

"Autograph? Sure, sure." Looking at the beautiful girl in front of her, Liu Liping smiled and nodded.

No wonder she has such a good temperament. I wanted to get her autograph again. It turns out she also studied piano. It seems that she really likes piano and did not sign up for a useless piano class due to pressure from her parents.

Hearing this, Bai Lu quickly took out his notebook and said excitedly, "Teacher Liu, just sign on the cover."

"Okay." Liu Liping took the pen and wrote her name carefully in the notebook.

Bai Lu was full of excitement. Liu Liping closed the pen cap and asked casually, "Little girl, you have studied piano for seven years? Have you passed the tenth level?"

"I passed and am preparing for the performance level exam." Bai Lu replied.

"That's pretty awesome."

Liu Liping was slightly surprised. In her eyes, the so-called tenth level of piano was too amateurish. She once studied at the Central Conservatory of Music, and the third-grade students of the elementary school affiliated to the Central Conservatory of Music could easily pass the tenth level.

However, Jiazhou is not an international metropolis like the imperial capital and Shanghai, and there is no soil specifically for cultivating music. Even the music school where she teaches now is just a scientific institute under the Normal College.

To put it bluntly, Jiazhou Normal University is just a technical college, and the students taught by its music college may become music teachers in primary or junior high schools after graduation.

Many children like Bai Lu learn a specialty when they are young, and never touch it again after passing the tenth-level amateur exam in elementary school. Even fewer are prepared to continue studying in depth, so their time and energy have to be put back into studying.

"Do you want to pursue a career in music in the future?" she asked curiously.

"Well, yes, I want to be a pianist like you." Bai Lu answered seriously.

"I?"

Liu Liping was stunned for a moment, then laughed and shook her head: "I am not a pianist. Compared with those people, I am far behind."

Although she graduated from the Central Conservatory of Music and has some musical talent, she entered the industry too late and has never won any decent awards in major competitions, otherwise she would not have been teaching at a technical college.

"How could that be! You play the piano so well, much better than my teacher!" Bai Lu said admiringly.

Liu Liping smiled and thought that this pretty girl spoke sweetly.

But what Bai Lu said was quite right. She was being modest when she said that her skills were not good. In any case, she was much better than those messy piano training class teachers in the city.

Liu Liping is now willing to give some advice.

"Bai Lu, huh? Do you want to try playing it once or twice? Let me see how good you are."
