Rebirth 79: I opened a bank in the United States

Chapter 526 The Story of Liang Zhu

"Chinese national sentiment?"

Olivia's beautiful eyes looked strangely at Carter.
How do you know people's national feelings? !
"It should be, otherwise I don't know why there is such a difference. It just sounds, not as natural, comfortable and picturesque as Lina Yu's version."

Carter suddenly realized that he had slipped a bit. Ethnic issues are also some of the more sensitive issues in the United States.Especially, Blue State.
After explaining a sentence embarrassingly, Carter stopped talking and continued his study today:

This stage is also a time when Carter is progressing rapidly.

Wolfart's elementary etude, which Carter practiced in his previous life.As for Wolfart, it is basically for violin learning, which is only used in the enlightenment and elementary stages. After the elementary stage, it may be necessary to change to the first volume of Mazas.
When I started to try Lamazas' pieces, it was basically an amateur violin performance test, about level five.And it took Carter less than two months to reach this stage.
For Carter, his attitude towards his speed of progress is very indifferent.After all, this is the level he already had in his previous life. Although he didn't know music theory at that time, it was no problem to play "New Year's Music" during the grade test.

When I took piano lessons in the first half of the year, I could basically recognize the scores that should be recognized, basic knowledge of music theory, and a good understanding of twelve equal temperaments.At this time, the hands that already know how to play are added.
Not to mention how beautiful it is, but it is not difficult to quickly pull out these "newly learned" repertoires with a high degree of completion.

But this point, in the eyes of others, is a bit scary
Even Olivia heard from Carter that he learned the violin more than ten years ago.At this time, I couldn't help walking to Carter's side:
"Carter, do you have time in the evening? Let's listen to that record together in the evening, and then there is something I don't understand, especially in terms of culture. I may need to ask you for advice in some places."

Olivia's cheeks were slightly flushed.This is not because of the shyness of the little girl, and she is not a little girl anymore, so she doesn't care so much about the surprised onlookers.

"I know it's been a bit too troublesome these days. In return, how about I take you to practice with me at night? You obviously have a strong talent, but...you don't practice the piano well at night, do you?"

"It is true that there is less practice"

Carter fished his head awkwardly, climbing musical scales or something, baaaah~
"Tonight, I have time."

But if you can have a beautiful woman as a training partner, or a professional training partner, and you have nothing to do for the time being, that's still very embarrassing!

That night, take Olivia's Carnival and head east.Olivia's house is some distance away from Yale, and it is considered a relatively remote location in Donggang District.
When the vehicle drove into the community, there were many hooligans full of foul language on both sides of the road.
"Yo ho, isn't this Olivia? Look, what did I say, this wife doesn't want you, just because you are old and ugly."

"Heh, that pretty face is useless. It's just that she hasn't understood me."

The Fiesta car windows revealing a little bit of vicissitudes cannot prevent these words from coming in with the wind.Carter saw Olivia's small mouth open slightly, as if she wanted to explain something, but then closed it again
Olivia didn't speak, even though she was full of doubts, Carter didn't know where to start
In the slightly silent carriage, there were no strange ripples in some romance novels.While Carter frowned and said nothing, he was slightly nervous:
Living in such a community obviously doesn't fit Olivia's status!

As mentioned above, the United States prohibits discrimination on the surface, claiming equality, freedom and tolerance.In fact, the divisions between various nationalities, ethnic groups, and classes are extremely obvious.This kind of community is obviously not a place where a Yale teacher, a violinist, and a white woman with a decent income should live
Judging by the skin color of the people around me, it's clearly a Latino community.It may be a bit discriminatory to say this, but think about your own identity with a red neck.
It's discrimination, right? !
This abnormal situation had to make Carter worry that the other party would harm him.

Fortunately, the depressing journey always has an end
"mom!"

A crisp child's voice, and the little Lisa who jumped out of the house under the setting sun, seemed to cut through the darkness of the dawn, making Carter's heart return to his chest.

I haven't seen anyone who is a victim, but why would I bring a four or five year old kid with me?
And that means, does Olivia really live here? !

"Brother Carter! Why are you here?"

"I'm not welcome?"

Smiling and rubbing the tiger-headed little Lisa, Carter squatted down, usually looking at this little guy.

"That's not true, except for Essina, Lisa's other friends have never been here."

"Okay, let's go in!"

Lisa's words were interrupted by Olivia who got out of the car a little late because she wanted to pick up something.After greeting the owner of the house in front of him, Virginie Mensa, the three walked into a house next to them.
A slightly creaky floor, an old upright piano, a sofa with a slightly cracked cover, and a dining table are all that Carter saw on the first floor of Olivia's house.

"Are you surprised?"

When Lisa yelled to share delicious food with Carter, a big friend, and jumped into the kitchen, Olivia patted Carter who was stunned at the entrance.

"A little. You."

Carter turned around and saw a very strange expression on Olivia's pretty face.

It's not like embarrassment, it's not like misery, it's not like distress.

The woman's indifference seems to have long been used to other people's behavior, and according to Carter's logical reasoning, there should not be many outsiders here.In other words, Olivia is unlikely to get used to these.
"Sit down, you can see me here too. No coffee, no Coke, only this clean glass of water."

Pour a glass of cold water on the table beside her, and Olivia led Carter to sit down at the table.Obviously, that sofa doesn't look like it can sit on people
"The record player is on the second floor. After you have something to eat, you can follow me up."

"it is good"

At the moment of being swallowed by the darkness under the red glow of the setting sun, Carter sat beside Olivia's bed, with Lisa sitting on his knees, and beside him was the still indifferent Olivia.

The familiar melody of "The Butterfly Lovers" resounds faintly, and the foley of the two versions that outlines Chunjing in the introduction part is not much different. Even the one I'm listening to now has a better recording effect.But when the violin solo sounded, Olivia frowned instantly.
Even Carter suddenly felt his heart twitch, and a feeling of discomfort was so strong that it entered Carter's mind. Before this, Carter had never heard of this version.
Compared with the delicate and graceful performance of Yu Lina, Takako Nishizaki's performance is beyond reproach in terms of technique.But what she has seems to be only skills
This weird difference becomes more and more obvious as the music progresses.

It took nearly an hour to listen to the two versions of "The Butterfly Lovers" from beginning to end.
"Carter, you said this piece is based on a legend. Can you tell me about that story?"
