Chapter 814 The He Family Regrets Causing Trouble
Sun Shan never expected that just after he asked Gui Ge'er to go back to get the erhu, all the young and old in the He family came together to listen to him play the erhu.
This, this is too much of a fuss, isn't it?
I'm a little scared, what should I do?
If I make everyone present cry, that would be a sin.
Thinking back to when I was studying in Zhangzhou Prefecture, Li Xinyun took me home and let my grandmother and mother play the erhu.
As a result, the two sentimental women cried bitterly and wished they could ascend to heaven on the spot.
Sun Shan was very scared at that time.
Now seeing the huge crowd, Sun Shan felt his scalp tingling and he wanted to run away.
He Shujun sat on the left side of the old lady and said to Sun Shan, "Ashan, play a song quickly. I want to see how miserable you are today."
I just heard from the servants that Master Sun played the erhu for the old master and the old lady.
He Shujun and his group brought their stools to the inner courtyard without saying a word to listen to the music.
Sun Shan escaped during the day, haha, we must not let him go this time.
He's cousin was sitting on the right side of the old lady, and he said with a smile on his face, "Grandpa, Grandma, thanks to you, I can hear Brother Shan playing the erhu today. Haha, I've always heard that Brother Shan is a good erhu player, and today I have to see it for myself."
The second grandson's wife, who said, "Like grandfather, like granddaughter", said lively and active in the female seat: "Grandfather, grandmother, I also heard that grandson-in-law is good at playing the erhu. Today, I am blessed to hear a piece of music in person."
Jiujin and his friends were eating snacks below while clapping their hands and shouting, "Uncle Shan, please pull it quickly. I want to hear it. I want to hear it."
Gui Ge'er, Sun Dali and Sun Dingnan, three members of the Sun family with little presence, squatted in the corner and looked at Sun Shan happily.
Sun Dingnan asked: "Gui Ge'er, is it true that Ah Shan is best at playing mourning music? Does it really make people cry when they hear it?"
Sun Dingnan had heard the passionate piece of music before, and he thought that Sun Shan played it indeed well, better than the so-called erhu experts who made a living by playing the erhu.
At that time, Sun Dingnan thought that Shanzi was talented and could make a living by playing the erhu for others without relying on studying.
People are different. All the advantages of Sunjia Village are borne by Sun Shan. Sun Shan can support the entire village.
Because of Sunshan, Sunjia Village is extremely glorious.
Sun Dali had never heard Sun Shan play an elegy, but like Gui Ge'er, he was a blind fan of Sun Shan. As soon as Sun Shan stood there, he seemed to understand everything.
He said confidently: "There are 36 trades, and each one has its own top talent. Our Ah Shan is proficient in everything and is the top talent in every trade. Haha, he is a master of the erhu."
Gui Ge'er looked at Sun Dali with satisfaction and said proudly, "Uncle Dali is right. Brother Shan can learn anything. It's just that he only learned one talent before in order to study hard. If he studies other skills carefully, he will definitely be able to learn them well. Brother Shan learned it in just a few days at the prefectural school and mastered it. He asked the erhu teacher of the prefectural school to come and become his disciple. Brother Shan is really amazing."
The Sunjiacun trio doesn't even need to hear Sun Shan playing the erhu, as they think that Sun Shan's erhu playing is the best in the world, which is a state of seeking defeat alone.
Is Sun Shan good at playing? Of course he is good.
It’s just that so many people came to listen to him playing funeral music, which made his scalp tingle. They were afraid that it was too sad and they couldn’t bear it.
Especially for Old Madam He and the student who failed the exam four times, what if they couldn’t stop crying while listening to this?
He can't just stop halfway through. He is not the kind of person who does things without starting or finishing them.
Minister He waved his fat hand and said, "Ashan, start."
Sun Shan looked at the sky. After dinner, it was already pitch black, and the whole house was lit.
To say it's bright is a lie.
There was still a hint of chill in the capital city during the spring, and Sun Shan was sure that their hearts would be even colder if they heard his funeral music.
Is this really a good idea?
Seeing that Sun Shan was still hesitating, Old Lady He said gently and kindly, "Shanzi, please sing a song for Grandma."
Since everyone said so, Sun Shan had no choice but to sit in the middle and play for the He family.
The atmosphere has been set to this point, and if he delays any further he would be inhumane.
As for crying when hearing his music, Sun Shan said in advance that it had nothing to do with him.
Sun Shan was very skilled in playing "Erquan Yingyue". Especially in the provincial school, he was asked to perform there and had already memorized it.
Sun Shan played the sad music and immersed himself in the sad atmosphere.
Even though he was not sad in his heart, the dark night always left a sense of sadness.
Late at night is the best time to reminisce about the past. Sun Shan reminisces about the past over and over again in his mind, but his hands never stop moving.
Once the beginning is played, you will be immersed in it later.
Sun Shan is serious about his work, his life, and playing the erhu.
He played for everyone and for himself with great concentration until the last note ended, and then Sun Shan came back to his senses.
When the song ended, there was complete silence.
Sun Shan widened his eyes and looked at the people around him.
Except for the kid who couldn't hear anything and was still eating snacks, the others couldn't recover for a long time.
Sun Shan immediately looked at Madam He. Fortunately, the old lady was still normal. He was most afraid that the old lady could not bear it.
Then I looked at He Shuhuan, the student who failed the college entrance exam four times. Oh my, it turns out that what I fear the most will come true.
Listening to the sad music, I recalled the four times I failed the exam. I traveled thousands of miles from the southernmost part to the northernmost part, each time with hope, but each time I returned disappointed. It was not only a waste of money, but also very discouraging.
Take the test once and you will be exhausted. Take the test twice and you will try your best. Take the test three times and you will be hysterical. If you still fail after the fourth time, you will be very brave if you don’t hit your head with a piece of tofu.
When I think of the fifth time that seems so far away and yet so imminent, I feel like I’m going to collapse.
He Shuhuan sat there coldly, looking away and saying nothing.
At this time, it was the head of the family, He Shilang, who spoke first: "It is indeed as sad as the legend says. Alas, I didn't expect Ashan to be able to play such a good sad song. Listening to him play the erhu is really heartbreaking."
Minister He's experience is richer than anyone here. He has experienced joy, surprise, and dullness. He also has deep feelings about the joys and sorrows of the world.
When I heard the funeral music played by Sun Shan, I thought about the decades of my life, my deceased parents, friends and even political enemies, and I felt sad.
But what storms and waves has Minister He not seen? That’s why he can still be so calm and maintain his composure.
Madam He sighed, "This song is indeed sad. No wonder Shanzi kept saying no. Oh, it's really uncomfortable to listen to."
He Shujun felt sad when he recalled his two failures in the exam. Then he looked at his cousin’s four failures and tried to find a sense of balance.
People need comparison.
Feeling a little better, he said, "I never thought that Ah Shan's famous song would be like this. Oh, if I had known, I wouldn't have listened to it. It would have affected my mood."
Who says it's not true? Listening to such a sad song late at night, it's hard not to feel sad.
Oh, I regret joining in the fun. If I had known it would be like this, I would have come to listen in broad daylight.
