Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 267 262. Initial test and vision, an early birthday gift?
Time goes back to 10 minutes ago.

The moment Li An received the message, he got up and stood up. Before leaving, he casually asked what discount he could get at the very least for the money he played just now.

The clerk told him [-]% off.

Ang Lee can only say it's okay.

Because he didn't know that the discount was given by the other party for Zheng Haitao's sake.

If it is, then usually the [-]% discount will definitely not be taken down.

If you can't get the [-]% off, the price of this piano seems a bit expensive.

Putting on a mask, Ang Lee waved thanks and left.

The clerk looked at the scene just now, and suddenly thought of something, hurriedly ran under the counter and took out a blue poster.

Unfolding it, he stood up abruptly and looked out the door. On the main road with people coming and going, Li An was nowhere to be seen.

Now think back to the half-hour-plus scales you just listened to.

He felt he had enlightened.
-
After returning to the campus, Li An went directly to Exit No. [-] of the examination room. Apart from Ji Chengguang and his wife who were waiting, there were several other people who looked like parents.
"Which number is she in?"

Ang Lee asked.

"The third one. The first one is a boy, and the second one is a girl. It's her who came over."

Ji Chengguang was talking about a girl who came out of the examination room.

Then it's Ji Yang.

"Brother Ji, at the end of this afternoon, you take her back to see the results of the preliminary exams in the afternoon. Tomorrow, you take her to choose a few re-examination exam rooms. I won't go to class, and we will arrange it the day after tomorrow."

The couple heard the words and moved closer, and the three of them walked to the side for a short distance.

"Early the day after tomorrow, you will let me go"
-
Studio stage.

As the end came as scheduled, the hands on the keyboard were visible to the naked eye and quickly lowered the palm support, with the palms lying flat and open.

The moment the first octave sounded, Ji Yang held his breath and focused all his thoughts on the four fingers.

"Dangdang, dang, dang, dang, dang."

Nine descending octaves are clearly pressed through from top to bottom.

Inhale.

Raise your arms slightly.

"when-"

"when--"

Lightly completed the last two sets of chords.

With a certain figure, Ji Yang raised his hand two seconds later.

He stood up and played the piano, turned around, covered his chest and bowed.

She smoothly completed the last movement of her initial test.

Then she walked out of the range of the piano bench in two steps and walked towards the exit, looking forward with her head raised, continuing the state she had when she came on stage.

Although she was not stopped during the period, she was very satisfied with her first attempt at playing.

When she was less than three meters away from the exit, a gust of wind blew in, and she suddenly felt her arms go cold.

Oops, down jacket!

The first time she stopped and turned around, she was caught in a dilemma.

The only eight people in the audience were all looking at her.

Forehead.
Examiner A: "What's wrong."

Ji Yang gritted his teeth and said, "I'm sorry, teachers, I, I forgot my down jacket."

Examiner D: "Go quickly."

Ji Yang picked up the hem of his skirt and trotted back to his seat. He was as elegant as before, just like a little rabbit.

There were a few chuckles from the jury.

The right-hand boy among the remaining two candidates in this wave suddenly felt that this girl was so cute, and couldn't help but look at Ji Yang a few more times.

Ji Yang picked up the down jacket and stared back at him, causing the other party to move his neck to the stage in fright.

Then it disappeared through the exit door in a flash.

Yeah!

She was in a great mood when she stepped out of the gate, so how about looking around?
No one greeted me!
Turning around again, I found three adults talking about something around the pine tree.

"teacher!"

The three of Li An looked over.
-
"Okay, okay, I understand."

While talking, Ji Chengguang took out a thermal bag from his bag to meet him, he thought Li An's method was really good.

Kung Fu Ji Yang ran over after a few steps between the words.

Just by looking at the smiling expression, you know that you are doing well.

Ang Lee: "It's over."

Ji Yang nodded: "It's over."

Ang Li: "Okay, let's wait for the music theory exam in the afternoon."

Ji Yang: "Teacher, you don't know that just now"

Ji Chengguang interjected: "Yangyang, let's talk as we walk, go back to the hotel first."

He had already agreed with Li An just now, when Ji Yang came out, he would go back to the hotel for a little refreshment before going to dinner.

"The girl finished playing just now."
-
Two 10 minutes later.

After changing his clothes and taking off his make-up, Ji Yang walked out of the hotel room accompanied by Hu Ronge, Li An and Ji Chengguang put out the cigarette at the elevator entrance.

The four set off for dinner.

It was approaching noon, and there were already no restaurants near the school.

Everyone asked Ji Yang what he wanted to eat, and Ji Yang said that he promised to treat Li An to a big meal at noon.

What kind of meal are you having?

Li An smiled: "Let's go, I'll take you to have some porridge."

Ji Chengguang drove, Li An showed the way, and after a while, the four of them arrived at Wanda at the junction of Yudong and Guangyuan.

The seafood porridge that Chen Xuan ordered for him last time was really good.

Scan the QR code to place an order.

Four people ordered a large pot of porridge plus three dishes.

Ji Yang rushed to pay.

"hey-hey."

Hu Rong rubbed the back of Ji Yang's head fondly, and sighed, "You're so old, you still know how to giggle all day long."

Ji Yang just likes to laugh: "I'm still underage, okay?"

At this time, a waiter came over to check the menu, "Are there any taboos?"

"No cilantro."

Because the mood is relatively relaxed today, when Li An heard this question, his subconsciousness followed, and then he waved his hands and said, "Yes, yes."

It was the first time Ji Chengguang heard that Li An didn't eat coriander.

In surprise, Ji Yang let out a smirk.

After she explained something, the couple realized what was going on, and they both smiled.

"Ms. Chen's family is not local, right?" Hu Rong asked.

Ji Yang answered quickly: "Sister Chen is from Yanshi."

Li Ang: "Well, she is far away from here."

Hu Rong: "The transportation is convenient now, and it's not just a matter of a plane ticket."

Li Ang: "You are right."

Hu Rong: "I think you two have been together for the past two years."

Li An smiled, the development of the relationship is indeed good, but there are still a few hurdles to go before that step.

A long way to go.

"I will fight."

Ji Yang clasped his hands together, his eyes full of little stars: "I'm looking forward to it~"

Hahaha-

The atmosphere at the dinner table became more and more relaxed.

Speaking of which, the waiter came over with a black casserole, and when the lid was lifted, the smell of the pot was delicious.

"Come to Teacher Li."

Ji Chengguang served the first bowl to Li An, and Li An was not polite, "It's too thick, Brother Ji, I'll do it myself."

Seeing that Li An thought the bowl was thick, Ji Chengguang asked Ji Yang again, and Ji Yang also thought it was thick: "Give it to my mother."

Hu Rong also thought it was too thick: "You drink it yourself."

After eating for a while, Ji Chengguang said in his heart that if you don't drink it, I will drink it myself.

"nud"

A relaxing lunch ends in this relaxed atmosphere.

Two hours before the music theory exam, on the way back to the hotel, Ji Yang mentioned the girl who played before him.

In the words, there is still some concern about why the other party can finish playing.

Li An felt that there was something wrong with Ji Yang's mentality.

Although he didn't hear the girl's performance live, but after half a year of training, he believes that Ji Yang's appreciation of piano music is no longer what it used to be.

According to Ji Yang's description, the girl obviously didn't even solve the basic problem of her fingers.

In Ang Lee's opinion, this is one of several common types of candidates in the art examination room.

Most players who have undergone professional learning can make a preliminary judgment on the other player's level through the performance of another player within two sentences.

For experienced academic piano teachers, the length of two sentences can be shortened to one measure, and they only need one measure.

In the examination room, there will be no situation where the player is very amateur at the beginning, and then becomes more professional as he plays.

Even if a candidate with a good level plays the wrong first note, it will not affect the examiner's judgment on his overall level.

Even if a candidate with a poor level does not make a single mistake from the beginning to the end, the judges will not list his level as a good one.

But there is a link in this that most candidates will ignore.

After all, the art test is a kind of test, and the test itself has the attribute of selection.

When candidates compare each other, more attention will be paid to who plays well and who chooses the best repertoire. In the eyes of the examiner, there are other things besides this, such as the state of performance, such as the overall performance of the person. Mental outlook, such as which children may have more potential.

Maybe the examiners felt that the girl's overall condition on stage was good, or maybe the examiners saw some kind of talent that the girl might have.

Take Ji Yang as an example, if Ji Yang's talent is not good, then no matter how hard Li An puts her effort into it, she will not be able to reach the level she is on stage today.

Another example, Ji Yang thinks that the girl is not much stronger than the boy before, not much stronger but she is a little stronger after all, maybe this is what makes the judges' eyes shine.

"Don't underestimate that."

"Anything can happen in the preliminary examination room."

He told Ji Yang another real event in the memory of the original owner.

There was a candidate in grade 16 who had never studied with any of the teachers in the college before the art exam. After taking the first exam in Rongyuan in the morning, he would go to the Agricultural University after the examination room, and was going to take the re-examination in the afternoon of the Agricultural University. I am planning to take the third grade of Rongyuan's preliminary examination, which means that I have given up on Rongyuan.

In the end, it was only under the persuasion of my companions that I stayed and took the junior three exams.

"Then he tried it for the first time?" Ji Yang asked curiously.

Li An: "Later, I also passed the re-examination, and then entered the Wei family class."

Ji Yang: "It's amazing, which graduate student is it?"

Li An smiled: "I even liked you last night."

Ji Yang opened his mouth wide: "Ah, Brother Zheng!"

Li An nodded and sighed, saying that good luck tricks people, if Haitao had given up the music theory exam that day, he would have no chance to make this little brother better.

"So we have to keep calm at all times and maintain a normal mind."

"Even if the girl you mentioned finally passed the exam, don't be too surprised."

Ji Yang still has one last small question in mind: "Teacher, do you think she is?"

She stopped in the middle of speaking, and the car fell into silence. Ji Chengguang held the steering wheel quietly, and Hu Rong looked out the window.

The three adults all knew what the second half of Ji Yang's unspoken sentence was.

Ang Lee: "Is this important to you?"

Ji Yang twitched her left eyebrow. She was probably a little sensitive. After all, she thought she was much better than the other party, and they both finished playing.

Li An tapped his fingers twice on his leg, "If the examiner stops you in advance, will your mind be balanced?"

Being punctured, Ji Yang scratched his head. She was not embarrassed in front of her teacher, so she nodded and said "huh" softly.

Li An's tapping fingers gradually stopped, and he felt that he had to remind Ji Yang.

"Ji Yang."

Hearing the sound, Ji Yang raised his face and looked at him.

"Everything you see right now is only temporary."

"Don't stick to looking backwards. Four years later, who will sit on the stage to play and who will sit in the audience to listen, you guess."

Ji Yang bit her lower lip, she really couldn't tell.

"Even including your college graduation, is college graduation the end of your music studies?"

Ji Yang shook his head affirmatively.

Li An paused: "Every stage of us can be regarded as our new starting point, but what we must do is to persevere and do our best for what we love."

moment
"I believe you."

Seeing Ji Yang's eyes focus again, Li Ancong took out his phone and sent Ji Yang a video.

"Take out your phone and give you a gift in advance."

Ji Yang was taken aback for a moment, then quickly took out his mobile phone, and when he saw the video sent by Li An, he immediately took out the earphones from his bag and put them on.

Although the video was a bit blurry, she could tell at a glance that this was the stage of the studio, the teacher in front of the piano, her hair almost covered her eyes.

A red banner hangs above the stage, Ang Lee and Lou Xiangtian undergraduate graduation concert.

ah! !Oh my god, it's actually a video of the teacher's undergraduate graduation concert! !
Hold your breath and click on the video carefully.

With preconceived ideas, she thought it sounded good at first listen.

But gradually she felt a little weird, did the teacher play it?But this is clearly the teacher playing.

Although she was a little reluctant to admit that the music played by the teacher at this time was far less attractive than it is now, but this was the truest thought in her heart.

Gradually, listening to the performance in the earphones, she seemed to understand what the teacher said just now.

After listening to the 4-minute video, she actually wanted to ask Ang Lee two more questions.

But think again, the teacher has already answered her these two questions just now.

Every stage of life can be our new starting point, but we must persevere and do our best for what we love.

The teacher can have today's grades, and the dedication behind it is probably only clear to the teacher himself.

moment.

"teacher."

"Ah."

"Actually, you still look good with short hair."

"Hehe, I agree."

Ji Yang's two lips sucked on one of them, made a click, and happily saved the video as a favorite.

She guessed it would be the most special gift she ever received at 18.

Hey, why didn't my mother give birth to me a few days earlier.

Putting away the phone and taking out the music theory book, student Xiao Ji carefully flipped through it.
-
In the afternoon primary three paper-based exams, Ji Yang once again completed the music theory and ear training ahead of schedule with excellent performance, but this time she did not hand in the papers ahead of time.

Checked carefully four times.

She made a small mistake in the subsequent sight-singing test, probably because she ate too much at noon, and burped while singing.

Innocent.

After coming out of the solfeggio examination room, she took out her mobile phone and turned it on, and two notification messages were swiped out one after another.

She passed the first test of Rongda University, which was within Li An's expectations.

She also passed Master Rong's initial test, which was within Ji Chengguang's expectation.

The problem now is that there is a conflict in the retest time of the two schools.

"Yangyang, tell me, which school will take the re-examination."

Ji Yang said without hesitation: "Rongda."

She really didn't want to see Professor Yu again.

Ji Chengguang nodded and said, "Okay," then looked at Li An again.

"Miss Li, let's do this today, and we'll contact you tomorrow after you're done."

"goodbye teacher!"

"Goodbye, Teacher Li."

Li An waved his hand and disappeared from the campus in the eyes of the family of three.

At the school gate, Ji Chengguang had already arranged a vehicle for him.

Drive all the way to Yudong office building, and stop in front of the beautiful teacher Xiaomi.

After meeting Luo Yitian by chance, Li An misses Chen Xuan a lot today.

As soon as he got in the car, he took the initiative to grab Chen Xuan's hand.

"Master Zhao, you can just send us to the Meizhuang Telecom business hall."
