the longest dream

Chapter 7 Elegance
After all, he was a veteran musician. Qi Ping didn't believe how his daughter was playing, so he took a guitar from the wall behind the bar, plucked a few simple chords, and looked at Zhang Qing.

Qi Juan was already dissatisfied and said: "Hey, what do you mean? People can listen to "Ode to Camellia", so you can use this to test?"

Qi Ping smiled and said, "It's not an exam, let's talk about it."

Zhang Qing didn't hesitate, seeing Qi Juan took out a pen and paper from her bag, and carefully wrote down the chords just now.

Qi Ping didn't even look at it, and played a series of complicated chords. In the end, Zhang Qing still didn't think about it for a moment, and wrote it down. This bowl of rice. Can you play the piano?"

Zhang Qing said: "No." But he hesitated for a while, and then said: "The music teacher in junior high school taught some, I should have forgotten it."

Qi Ping smiled when he heard the words, handed over the guitar, and said, "Try, it should be quick to learn if you have the foundation."

Qi Juan exaggerated: "That is, a genius!"

After Zhang Qing took the hand with a smile, he looked at the strings and gestured his fingering, and then, a little rusty, played the chords that Qiping played at the beginning, somewhat awkwardly.

Qi Ping is an old man, so he can tell at a glance that Zhang Qing really hasn't played the piano for a long time, and he is very unfamiliar.

This kind of unfamiliarity cannot be pretended.

It is impossible for him not to investigate the boys who are close to his daughter, especially those who are still brought home.

But then, seeing that Zhang Qing quickly became familiar with the guitar at a speed visible to the naked eye, and became more proficient in playing a few simple chords, and then continued to play complex chords, it seemed very difficult, Qi Ping hurriedly stopped him, saying : "It's not the time to work hard in this area right now, and come back after the college entrance examination."

Qi Juan laughed and said: "The old Jianghu is afraid!"

Qi Ping looked at Zhang Qing and sighed again: "The sense of music is very good. If you are born with this bowl of rice, you can take this path in the future. However, you should prepare for the college entrance examination first. The music industry does not mean that you can get ahead if you have real skills. You Understand?"

Zhang Qing nodded and smiled, "Vanity Fair, right and wrong."

Qi Juan warned: "There is someone in the circle here, be careful."

However, Qi Ping said again: "I'm not going to mix in your circle, but I want to learn some real skills, and I can earn some tuition and living expenses when I go to college in the future. After all, not every year is a bumper harvest of wheat, huh?"

Zhang Qing had a laugh, Qi Ping heard what was said, and he probably understood what was going on in his heart. He didn't ask him to borrow connections. Scales, intervals, what are chords, and voices. After learning the basics, you can learn other things, and you will get twice the result with half the effort.”

Zhang Qing bowed again and said, "Thank you Uncle Qi."

Qi Ping waved his hands and smiled: "Hey, you're too polite, let's make friends. What would you like to drink?"

How did Zhang Qing know what to drink: "Plain water?"

The waiter next to him laughed, Qi Juan patted him on the shoulder, and said: "Next time, I will come to Shen Shen, and today I will have fun today. I have agreed in advance that I will not be paid for cleaning the table later." After finishing speaking, she said to the waiter: " Two glasses of sherry!"

Zhang Qing was not polite either. After Qi Juan let Qi Ping go to work, his eyes fell on the piano on the stage, and he asked Qi Juan, "You must know how to play the piano, right?"

Qi Juan smiled and said, "Compared to you, I'm not too good at it compared to the piano department of the Conservatory of Music. Do you want to hear it?"

Zhang Qing nodded and said, "I always feel that people who play the piano are very elegant."

Qi Juan laughed and said, "Okay, let me show you how elegant I am."

After finishing speaking, he went to sit in front of the piano and raised his hand to play.

Maybe her playing was really mediocre, her father Qi Ping only glanced at it and didn't read much.

Zhang Qing watched it seriously, and applauded after Qi Juan finished playing.

Qi Juan smiled and said, "Elegant or not?"

Zhang Qing nodded, and turned his gaze to the piano keys.

Qi Juan stood up and said, "You want to come elegantly for a while too?"

Zhang Qing hesitated for a while, but sat down. After taking a breath, his fingers landed on the black and white keys.

The tune is exactly the prelude that Qi Juan played just now.

Although it is a bit rough, but...

"I rely on!"

Qi Juan cursed angrily, but was taught a lesson by a middle-aged woman who came from behind.

Qi Juan grabbed the woman's arm and said angrily, "It's all your fault!"

The middle-aged woman wondered: "What am I to blame?"

Qi Juan said: "Who told you not to make me such a genius? Look at this freak, listening to Wu Weiwei playing "Ode to the Camellia", he can write scores directly. Just now, my father played the guitar, and he became proficient after a few times." Even the piano is like this... It's strange, is it true that the Gobi in Xijiang really raises people like this? Mom, why don't we move?"

Zhang Qing had already got up and walked over, bowed and said, "Hello, Auntie."

Li Suzhi was wearing a pair of glasses, looked at Zhang Qing closely behind the lens, nodded and smiled and said: "Okay, welcome to be a guest, I heard Qi Juan talk about you."

Qi Juan warned Zhang Qing: "It may not be a good word."

Li Suzhi ignored her daughter's naughtiness, and said to Zhang Qing: "The hardships of life are a kind of tempering of life. Persist in hard work and never give up, and suffering will become the wealth of life. Otherwise, suffering is just suffering."

Zhang Qing pursed his lips, nodded and said, "Thank you, Auntie, I will remember."

Qi Juan said with a smile: "Mom, you haven't educated me enough at home, and educated my classmates too? Now he is a big hit in Lao Yang's eyes. He was expected to go to Qingbei, and he even changed my seat specially. Became his deskmate. Don’t blame me if you don’t entertain him well for me if you don’t get into college.”

Li Suzhi also has no temper with her daughter, she shook her head and said, "Have fun, and review tomorrow. It is necessary to combine work and rest, and you can't just study hard."

After all, he also left.

Seeing Zhang Qing looking at their family enviously, Qi Juan led him to sit down and asked, "What is your family like?"

Zhang Qingdao: "In the countryside, it used to be fine. It's just that my father was diagnosed with kidney disease the year before last, and my mother also fell ill, and owed a lot of foreign debts... However, I believe everything will be fine, and now it is changing."

Qi Juan's face turned serious, she looked at Zhang Qing and said, "I also believe that you will definitely change your destiny."

Say, raise your glass to each other.

Zhang Qing also raised his glass, looked at Qi Juan and said sincerely: "Thank you."

Qi Juan said dissatisfied: "It's not interesting enough, we are classmates... at the same table!"

Zhang Qing smiled, and saw a burst of lively greetings coming from the door.

"go!"

Qi Juan called to him, went to the door, and whispered as she walked, "Although not all of them are celebrities, many of them are old musicians. Just listen and learn some inside stories first."

Zhang Qing nodded and said: "Long experience."

Qi Juan smiled and went forward together.

Qi Ping and a long-haired middle-aged man came in side by side, and the man praised Qi Juan loudly when he saw Qi Juan: "Beautiful! Old Qi, I really envy you! Not for anything else, just for this well-behaved daughter. Think about that son in our family, he is like an enemy when he sees me, alas, don’t mention it.”

The person behind said unceremoniously: "Old Xiao, aren't you talking nonsense? You took Xiaosan and kicked out the mother and son. Can your son still turn to you?"

"Fart! I admit that I found a mistress, but I left the house, the house, the car ticket, all the fuck is left to the two of them!"

The long-haired man said seriously, but everyone burst into laughter.

The middle-aged woman with explosive hair and heavy make-up looked at Qi Juan and Li Suzhi and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, our girls are really... unparalleled in the world. Everything is good, that's the name... Sister-in-law, you are a learned person, why did you become like this?" a name?"

Li Suzhi smiled faintly: "Vulgarity is elegance."

Qi Juan said with a smile: "I really don't blame my mother for this, it's my grandfather's old antique."

A man with buck teeth laughed strangely and said, "It seems that the chairman of Tianhong Heavy Industry is not very sensible."

Everyone laughed again, obviously they all knew the background of the Qi family, only Zhang Qing couldn't figure it out.

But no one pays attention to him, perhaps only as a waiter.
