Chapter 401 Help
"Your erhu skills should be quite good, right?"

Xia Le'an rolled her eyes at the girl's hands: "If you want to keep improving, you should consult those well-known masters. Why would you think of coming to me?"

"It's too late."

The girl blurted out, seeing Xia Le'an's curious eyes, she said softly that she recently participated in an erhu competition, and the competition has reached the final stage, including her, there are four finalists.

If she can get No.1 in this competition, then she will have the opportunity to enter a music academy she is looking forward to without taking the exam. Originally, she was quite confident in her own level, but...

Today, she heard the news that the other three students all invited very powerful masters to teach them, and they all wanted to get No.1 in this competition.

She also immediately asked her parents to help, to see if she could invite some more powerful erhu masters to give advice on the spot, but these masters basically couldn't spare the time, and the final will be held tomorrow.

She heard from others that Xia Le'an can help with anything here, so she came here with the idea of ​​giving it a try.

"Xiao Muyu released a side task to help her win No.1 in the provincial erhu competition. After completing this task, she can get rewards, and the erhu intermediate level will be promoted to advanced level. "

Hearing the word advanced skills, Xia Le'an responded without thinking: "Okay, I will try my best to help you."

"Accept Xiao Muyu's side mission to help her win No.1 in the Provincial Erhu Competition. "

"Are you sure?"

Zhong Qingxue approached Xia Le'an's ear and asked, "If you were to participate in the competition by yourself, then I might still have confidence, but can you teach others?"

"How could it not work!"

Xia Le'an overreacted to the words "No, no." Zhong Qingxue glared gloomily: "When the time comes, the signboard will be smashed, so don't think about throwing the blame away."

"No typing today?"

Xia Le'an rolled her eyes, and Zhong Qingxue walked aside with a suppressed smile and turned on her laptop to start typing.

"That promises?"

Xiao Muyu asked curiously, with some doubts in her eyes, Xia Le'an smiled slightly, and stretched out her hand: "Lend me the erhu."

Xiao Muyu habitually clasped the erhu in her arms, Xia Lean went to the corner to pick up the dusty erhu, went outside the store to clean up the dust and came back, lay lazily on the sofa, stretched out her hand to strum the strings, and played a piece he liked a lot An adaptation of the track, Horse Racing.

After playing the first piece, the look in Xiao Muyu's eyes immediately changed, and she looked at Xia Le'an with some respect: "Then what should I call you? Boss, or teacher? The competition will start tomorrow. If possible, teach me now." Okay? By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Xiao Muyu, you can call me Xiao Xiao."

Although Zhong Qingxue went to the side to type, but her attention was always there. Seeing Xiao Muyu's attitude change so obviously, she silently rolled her eyes.

"Anything is fine. My surname is Xia. You can call it whatever you want. Student Xiao Muyu, please play a piece that you are good at first, and I will listen to it."

Xia Le'an adjusted her sitting posture, lying on the sofa more comfortably, looked at Xiao Muyu with a confident and calm look, but actually panicked in her heart.

When I heard the word "advanced skills" before, I got excited and took over the task. Now that I think about it carefully, what Zhong Qingxue said is absolutely correct. He probably won't have any problems playing on the field, but teaching others, how and what?
"Okay, Mr. Xia."

Xiao Muyu adjusted her sitting posture in an instant, her back was straight, her head was slightly lowered, and she was tilted to the left, her right hand rested on the string, she was still for a while, and then slowly began to pull the string.

Xia Le'an smiled while listening to the very slow piece, but actually panicked even more. He didn't even know the name of this piece. When Xiao Muyu finished playing, what should he say?
During the performance, Xiao Muyu was very focused, her eyes were fixed on her erhu all the time, and she looked nervously at Xia Le'an until the end of the song. Seeing Xia Le'an's faked smile, she smiled instantly : "Mr. Xia..."

"Well, good, good, but."

Xia Le'an turned her head rapidly, and said while thinking: "There is always a slight sense of incongruity."

"Yes, yes, I feel the same way."

Xiao Muyu nodded immediately: "The teacher and the others gave the same advice. They all said that when I played, there was a feeling of dissonance and it was too blunt, but I didn't understand where the problem was..."

After saying that, Xiao Muyu looked at Xia Le'an expectantly, with little stars almost appearing in her eyes. Xia Le'an nodded slowly: "Since you understand this problem yourself, but you still have this problem, it means that you don't understand your own problem. Very thorough. The road to playing has always been easy to get started but difficult to master. Before you find that feeling, it’s really hard to improve..."

Xia Le'an's words were completely copied from the words in his head, and he didn't know whether it was the lines of the movie he had seen or the content of the novel. Xiao Muyu listened carefully, nodding his head from time to time, with a look of enlightenment. When Xia Le'an finished speaking, he immediately asked : "Mr. Xia, is there any good way?"

"How to, um, let me think about it..."

Xia Le'an got up, walked into the store with her hands behind her back, Xiao Muyu wanted to follow, but was stopped by Xia Le'an: "I need to think alone."

"Ok."

Xiao Muyu sat back in her original position with some disappointment, Xia Le'an immediately let out a long sigh of relief after walking out of the store: "Ah, how can I teach you!"

Xia Le'an can play the erhu, and the level of the intermediate erhu is considered very good in the eyes of ordinary people.

However, La and Sai are not the same thing at all.

If it's a performance, Xia Le'an can just go on stage and play a song. It's definitely not that bad, but speaking of it, she can't do it at all.

In layman's terms, Xia Le'an's playing level may be intermediate, but his theoretical knowledge is not even as good as that of a beginner who has just learned erhu. After all, Xia Le'an has never systematically learned the relevant knowledge.

After struggling outside the store for half an hour, he still had no clue, so he went back to the store and saw Xiao Muyu playing the same song as before.

To be honest, Xia Le'an couldn't hear anything wrong with this song. There was constant noise from the cars passing by outside the store. In this environment, it was impossible to carefully distinguish the tone and so on. He just listened to the sound and the rhythm.

As long as Xiao Muyu finishes playing the piece smoothly, it will be a good piece to Xia Le'an's ears. If you really want to ask him what's good, he will only answer one sentence at most, and the rhythm sounds quite comfortable.

After Xiao Muyu finished playing a piece, she opened her eyes, saw Xia Le'an standing quietly in front of her, and immediately asked expectantly, "Mr. Xia?"

"Don't worry, just sit down and talk."

After Xia Le'an sat down opposite Xiao Muyu, she folded her arms and closed her eyes to think, as if she had some clues.
