Piano

Lan Xuesheng clasped her fingers and lifted her chin: "So, I've always been conflicted."

"On the one hand, I think there is no problem with what my grandfather insisted on. On the other hand, I think that the old man's efforts to seek changes, catch up with the times, and minimize costs to get rid of the low-end market are also reasonable."

"I used to hear my grandpa say that my mother was sandwiched between him and my father like a biscuit, but in fact, when I really learned to chop the piano and stepped into the piano altar with one foot, I found that I was It's the actual biscuit filling."

"This feeling is undoubtedly painful and tormenting me." Lan Xuesheng closed her eyes as she said, "Therefore, I decided to enter the industry early, so as to experience this ancient, even slightly decayed world for myself as soon as possible. industry."

"I want to see if I can find the right balance between the two that makes everyone happy and reassured."

"So, in the summer vacation of the second year of junior high school, I took the Luoxia-style Guqin called 'Changliu' and officially stepped into the piano world under the name 'Cloud Color'."

"I entered the industry at the age of 14 and stayed in the industry for more than four years. I had just turned eighteen when I retired."

"Of course, I didn't expect to regress so early." At this point, Lan Xuesheng forced her lips together, showing a slightly pale smile, "But people are not as good as God, and plans can't always keep up with changes."

"Two things prompted me to retire early."

"The first thing is that my grandfather's heart failure symptoms worsened in my third year of high school."

"Actually, he was over 80 years old at that time, and he was older than Lao Chen now. I know that it is normal for him to have such a problem due to his hard-working temper all his life, but I know it is normal intellectually. It doesn't affect my panic and fear."

"During that time, I almost never had a good night's sleep." Lan Xuesheng lowered her head and lowered her voice, "Heart failure is just the beginning, and the most difficult thing will be when all the organs in Grandpa's body fail together."

"I kept going back and forth between the hospital and school every day. After a few months, I lost almost [-] pounds."

"But the old man still hasn't come back once, he only paid a lot of money for two very good-tempered and caring nurses—"

"But what's the use of just asking for nursing care? I know that my grandfather at that time was not afraid of death and didn't need any nursing care. He lived to be over 80 years old, and he has long been indifferent to life and death. The only things he can worry about are me, the old man and the Lan family foundation. .”

"—At that time, what he needed most was actually my father's company."

"But the old man is not here." Lan Xuesheng raised her hands to cover her face, her voice trembling uncontrollably, "I couldn't stand it anymore, so I called the old man to go back to Huaiyang as soon as possible, but when the call was connected, he But he told me that he was negotiating a very important business with others in other provinces, and he would not be able to return for the time being."

"I don't know if he really couldn't come back or if he just gave me an excuse." Lan Xue laughed, "In short, he didn't come back until Grandpa died with regrets."

"—He didn't get to see Grandpa for the last time. When he came back from other provinces in a hurry, he happened to catch up with the small funeral that I held for Grandpa with the help of Uncle Liu and others."

"He was very angry and asked me why I didn't wait for him to come back to bury Grandpa—"

"I'm more angry than him." Lan Xue said expressionlessly.

"I'm mad at him for why he insists on going to other provinces to discuss and handle his damn business when he knows that his grandpa's organs are exhausted and he is about to run out of fuel."

"So we had a big fight after Grandpa's funeral."

"There was a moment when I really hated him." Lan Xuesheng frowned slightly, and blinked slowly: "I hate that he never fulfilled the obligations of a father, and made me suffer from our father since I was a child." The students in the class ridiculed him, and he was said to be a 'wild child' who had no father or mother."

"I hate him for never taking on the responsibilities of a son in front of grandpa, hate him for never caring about grandpa's illness, hate him for rebellion, hate him for coming back too late... I really had too much to hate him at that time reason."

"At that time the college entrance examination was over, so after the quarrel with the old man, I took all my family and left Huaiyang without looking back, and went to the north alone to study."

"It just so happened that I was feared by my peers because of my youth and fame, and was slandered by malicious rumors—these two things piled up together, and before that, I already felt very uncomfortable with this overly self-important and arrogant circle. In a fit of rage, I simply announced that I would retreat."

"Since that day, the luthier 'Yun Se'," Lan Xuesheng said calmly, "has completely disappeared."

"At the same time, after graduation, I neither want to go back to Huaiyang nor continue to deal with the 'old friends' in the piano world, so I simply used the savings I saved when I was still in the piano world to come to Daicheng, which is located in China. In a small town on the [-]th line in the northwest, this 'Qiliang Piano Store' opened."

"'The seven strings are good friends, and the two ears are bosom friends'? (Bai Juyi's "Night Aiding the Qin on a Boat")" Feng Xi responded softly.

Lan Xuesheng's eyes flickered: "Yes."

"—In the final analysis, what I hate is the atmosphere in the industry, what I hate is the status quo that everyone in the industry is becoming more and more self-styled at that time, not Qin."

"I like Qin, the kind of love that is willing to spend my life for it." Lan Xue lowered her eyebrows, "But when I just regressed, I really had a shadow on this thing in my heart."

"To tell you the truth, Xiao Fengfeng, before I met you, I really didn't dare to play the piano for almost eight years."

"——I can't find a reason to play the piano, and I feel unreasonable fear."

After Lan Xuesheng finished speaking, she sighed sadly: "...these are probably the contradictions that exist among the three generations of our family."

"To put it bluntly, there are mainly differences in thinking." Feng Xi pondered over his words, "Besides, you seem to have some misunderstandings that you haven't been able to explain to each other."

"If you put it in the words of today's people, it is 'If you don't have a mouth, you won't be able to use it if you have a mouth'."

"...a misunderstanding that didn't make sense?" Lan Xuesheng frowned and turned her head when she heard the words, "Xiao Fengfeng, do you mean that there is still a misunderstanding between me and the old man?"

"This is really a ghost, what misunderstanding can I have with him? ——Is it true that he did all the messy bastard things back then?"

"Can there be a misunderstanding?" Lan Xuesheng was suspicious, but Feng Xi nodded calmly: "Yes, there should be a misunderstanding."

"I'm not sure about other things, but you say that your father is a pure reform radical, and this cognition must be wrong."

"If you don't believe me, you can find your mobile phone and log on to their official website of 'Konggu Yixiang' - he has completed the middle and low-end market in the past few years and has accumulated enough funds, and he is ready to open a second brand and attack the high-end pure handmade Guqin line. "

"If I'm not mistaken, he should be using the techniques your grandfather taught him that day, the ancient qin technique of your Lan family—"

It's time for Lan Lan to enter Jingxu again
