Through the Window: Lin Luoxue's Lazy Cousin

Lu Qiaochuan glanced at him: "Mr. Ren, it's not 'us,' it's just you."

Xiao Haiyang patted Ren Yifan on the shoulder and followed him toward the main gate.

Ren Yifan: ? ? ?

Am I being pitied?

To ensure tourists have a good time, the boats here are open-air at both the bow and stern.

There is a small room in the middle, with windows on both sides.

There was also a small incense burner burning in the middle.

Su Chen and the others sat at the bow of the boat, feeling the gentle breeze on the river.

The scenery along the coast was exactly the same as before, but I had a different feeling.

"So beautiful~" Lin Luoxue squinted her eyes, appreciating the scenery of the ancient town.

A gentle breeze ruffled her hair, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

have to say.

Lin Luoxue's looks are still very striking, even when standing next to these three.

It still won't be suppressed.

Zhong Bai and Li Shuci followed Lin Luoxue, leaning against the railing and feeling the breeze from the river.

I feel exceptionally relaxed.

Roes went to the stern of the boat and saw the guqin (a traditional Chinese stringed instrument). He asked in surprise, "Boatman, you still have a guqin here? Can it be played?"

The boatman, holding up a long pole, said with a smile, "Of course it can be played. My child bought it for his granddaughter, but she stopped learning after two months. It was just sitting there unused at home, so I brought it to the boat so the guests could experience it."

Seeing Roes's eager eyes, Su Chen knew she had designs on the guqin.

He then asked the boatman, "Can we use this guqin?"

The boatman looked at Su Chen and said with a smile, "Sure, but don't break it."

"If you play well, this trip will be on me!"

Su Chen approached Roes: "How about it? The appearance fee is 250. Want to give it a try?"

Roes rolled his eyes at Su Chen: "You're the one who's stupid."

Despite saying that, she still did it.

Fingers plucked the strings.

She said softly, "I've been interested in traditional Chinese culture since I was a child, but I learned the guzheng. The guqin is still a bit unfamiliar to me."

"I won't embarrass myself by showing off."

Although the guzheng and guqin look almost identical, there are still significant differences between them.

In terms of artistic conception.

The guzheng is delightful.

The guqin brings joy to oneself.

In terms of appearance, the guzheng has 21 strings, while the guqin only has 7 strings.

But don't think that the 7th string is worse than the 21st string.

These seven strings can produce a very wide range of notes.

Lin Luoxue and the others also came over at this time.

Zhong Bai looked at the guqin and asked with delight, "Is this a guzheng? Can any of you play it?"

"This is a guqin. I learned it when I was a child," Li Shuci said timidly. "But I didn't learn it well, so I won't embarrass myself by showing off my 170cm height."

Without saying a word, Lin Luoxue pressed Su Chen into his seat.

"Cousin, let's take a picture first, before we even talk about playing it!"

Lin Luoxue took out her camera, ready to take a picture of Su Chen.

Who knew?

Su Chen had just sat down when he began to play the zither with both hands.

Zheng~

A single note from a zither drew everyone's attention.

Su Chen didn't get a chance to see the surprised looks from those around him.

I strummed the strings a few times with both hands to familiarize myself with the tone of the instrument.

Zheng~Zheng~

The deep, resonant sound of the piano slowly rose.

It complements the ancient city.

A gentle breeze was blowing.

In a trance.

The entire ship seemed to have traveled through time and space, returning to the most glorious era of ancient music.

Everyone closed their eyes, immersed in the melodious music.

The boatman grinned as he listened to the music.

It's been so long since I've heard the sound of the guqin. It seems like no one has played it for him since his granddaughter stopped practicing after starting school.

The boat moved slowly forward on the water.

A small bridge spans a flowing stream, and the sound of a zither lingers in the air.

The students who were playing around stopped and watched after hearing the piano music.

They stared in shock at the person playing the zither on the small boat.

A light boat in an ancient town, dressed in a blue robe.

Su Chen's every move captivated the hearts of every passerby on the shore.

Many people were puzzled after seeing this, wondering who this young man was.

Why are you playing the piano here?

The second thought was to take out their phones, start recording Su Chen, and post the videos to their WeChat Moments.

After a brief moment of rapture upon hearing the music, Jiang Yunming and his companions were captivated by the sound.

He then recognized Su Chen.

"Is that Su Chen?"

"Wow, he looks so handsome! Why didn't we think of taking pictures in ancient costumes?"

"Wait, there seems to be someone in that little house."

"It seems to be Lin Luoxue and Li Shuci from our class."

"Sigh, there aren't many girls in the class to begin with, and now there's even less of a chance."

Looking at Su Chen, Jiang Yunming felt nothing but envy.

Because he lacks the capacity to be jealous.

They are not as good-looking.

I can't compete with him in academics.

They can't even compete in talent, what's the point of playing?

Jiang Yunming looked at the others with resentment in his eyes.

"What are you waiting for? Take a picture now!"

...

It takes about forty minutes by land.

It takes less than 20 minutes by water.

throughout.

Su Chen's hands did not stop.

However, he only played two pieces.

But no one on the boat felt bored.

The charm of ancient music lies in this.
