A stunning mermaid dressed in the 1980s, the whole family lined up to pamper her endlessly.

Chapter 292 Learning Music
When he got home, no one asked him how he did on the exam; they just gave him a warm welcome.

This made Yun Chennan feel uncomfortable.

However, this enthusiasm largely disappeared after a day, and five days later, her parents began to complain.

"You've already finished the exams, why are you still holed up at home studying all day? Your nearsightedness is already so bad, you should at least go out for a walk and get some exercise."

"You child, I tell you to rest more and you don't want to. You used to at least go beachcombing with me, but now you're so lazy you don't want to move at all. Why don't you go out to sea with your dad? Don't stay at home all day and it's annoying to watch."

The younger children in the family said, "Third brother, can you please stop watching us do our homework? We finally have two days off, let us play a little longer. When you stand there, I think my homeroom teacher has come."

In less than ten days, Yun Chennan successfully experienced what it means to be appreciated from afar and disliked up close; his family went from being enthusiastic at the beginning to being disgusted by him now.

Yun Chennan: …………

"Third brother, I want to learn a musical instrument, will you come with me?"

Yun Chennan had just been told to go out more, so he agreed.

"Why did you decide to learn a musical instrument?"

“I’d thought about it before, but I didn’t have time. Now I’m learning anatomy and sewing from my fourth senior brother. I also went to the mountains to pick mushrooms and make mushroom sauce to give to my godfather and godmother, my eldest and second brothers, and Fu Mingyu’s side.”

As she spoke, she laughed, revealing her bright white teeth.

"Fifth Brother and the others have gotten even darker."

"I can't get a tan."

She said it with a rather smug and proud tone.

Yun Chennan glanced at his younger sister, unable to imagine what she would look like with a tan.

But she'll definitely look good, since her sister has that kind of natural beauty.

Yun Chennan couldn't ride a motorcycle, so he took Yun Jiao to the county on a bicycle.

She also brought gifts for her master and the Gu family.

“We’re going to find Grandpa Gu’s grandson. He can play the guitar and sing. He said my voice is nice and that if I want to learn a musical instrument, I should go to him. He knows people who can teach it.”

Yun Jiao kept chattering the whole way, which made her extremely thirsty when she arrived at her master's house.

Yun Jiao ran into her master's clinic, skillfully picked up her master's teapot, poured herself a cup, and drank it.

"Oh, Jiaojiao is here again."

Yun Jiao nodded and finished drinking before speaking.

"I've brought some delicious food again! Senior sister has your favorite prawns."

"Where's the master?"

Second Senior Sister Qin Xin brought her a plate of Poria cocos cake: "Master has gone to treat patients, so it's just me at the clinic now."

Watching Yun Jiao eat, she looked like a little hamster with her chubby cheeks, like a plump little bun. I couldn't resist reaching out and pinching her cheeks.

Yun Jiao dodged slightly, not wanting to squeeze the food out of her mouth while she was eating; that would be such a waste.

"Then I'll keep the things, senior sister. When Master and senior brother come back, please tell them I'm leaving."

Before leaving, Yun Jiao shamelessly took the whole plate of Poria cocos cake with her.

"Goodbye, senior sister. I want to eat chestnut cake next time."

Qin Xin laughed angrily: "You actually lit it."

Yun Jiao chuckled twice, then her short legs darted swiftly out of the clinic.

Yun Chennan was sitting to one side reading a book when he saw his younger sister come over, so he put the book back.

"Third brother, here's some Poria cocos cake for you. Master's Poria cocos cake is so delicious, but my favorite is chestnut cake. It's soft, sandy, and very fragrant."

Yun Chennan's mouth was stuffed full of Poria cocos cake.

"You took so much?"

The little one was stuffing the poria cocos cakes one by one into her light blue crossbody bag.

"No more, no more."

"Senior sister, let's go."

After greeting Qin Xin, who came out to see her off, Yun Jiao took her third brother's hand and left.

Inside the old antique shop, a birdcage hung by the old man's door. A black-feathered myna bird inside saw someone enter and immediately started chirping in a strange, exaggerated voice. "Someone's here, you old geezer, someone's here."

Yun Jiao stopped in her tracks and looked up curiously at the myna bird in the cage.

An old man in the shop was lying on a recliner, playing with two walnuts in his hands, resting with his eyes closed, swaying back and forth, looking quite content.

There were hardly any people in the shop; it looked very deserted.

That's how the antique business works: three years without business, then three years of feasting when it opens.

Especially nowadays, antiques and such things are just beginning to emerge, and they are emerging quietly. This place is very remote, and only a small group of people know about it.

Similarly, very few people are willing to spend money to buy antiques.

This hobby is quite expensive, and very few people can afford to pursue it these days.

"I thought a guest had arrived, but it turns out it's Jiaojiao."

The antique shop was quiet and the old-fashioned people didn't seem to care.

He opened this antique shop purely out of personal hobby; his real business is in antique restoration.

"Grandpa Gu".

Yun Jiao greeted him, then pulled her third brother over to introduce them.

"Grandpa Gu, this is my third brother."

The old man chuckled and said, "What, you've actually found me an apprentice?"

Yun Jiao scratched her head: "No, my third brother still has to go to university, he probably won't have time to study with you."

Yun Chennan: ? ? ?

"Come in for tea. What brings Jiaojiao here today?"

Yun Jiao held the tea and drank it, shaking her head and saying, "Good tea, good tea!" which made the old man laugh heartily.

"At such a young age, she already knows how to appreciate tea."

Yun Jiao was very honest: "No, but it tastes good."

Once you get used to this tea, you'll find that, apart from the first brew being a bit too bitter, the later brews are quite delicious.

"It's just regular green tea. You can take some back with you if you like."

Yun Jiao smiled, her eyes crinkling: "Thank you, Grandpa Gu!"

"Grandpa Gu, when is Brother Gu Chen coming? I want to learn a musical instrument and I need his help."

Old Gu stroked his beard: "Tell Grandpa Gu, what kind of musical instrument do you want to learn?"

Yun Jiao: "It's convenient to carry around."

"I see. I do have a recommendation."

He didn't want his grandson to lead such a good child astray, so that he would end up learning those loud, booming things.

"Come on, come on, Grandpa Gu will take you there."

"Grandpa Gu, are you closing your shop?"

"It'll be closed for a day, there's no one around anyway."

To be honest, these old men have really wide connections; it seems like they know people in every industry.

The old man didn't take them to a musical instrument shop, but to an old house.

As soon as you step inside, you can hear the melodious sound of a pipa.

Yun Jiao listened to it once and thought it sounded nice.

Mermaids are skilled singers and love beautiful music.

"This family has a history of being famous court musicians. The current head of the family, Xie San Niang, has been learning various ancient musical instruments from her mother since childhood, and has also been exposed to some Western musical instruments. She is now a song and dance teacher at the theater."

Yun Jiao didn't quite understand, but it sounded impressive. Anyway, it meant something like "very powerful".

"Let's go. You have a good appearance and a good voice. If you can win her favor, you can learn anything you want."
