The days when I was a maid in another world

A group of three walked towards the train station.

When passing by a piano store, a sentence suddenly flashed in my mind, "I want to caress the Yaoqin, and I will send you the song from thousands of miles away."Although I don't know where I read this sentence, I suddenly had the urge to play a piece of music to send Anna off.

"Let's go in and have a look, it's still early anyway!" I said something, and took the lead in pushing open the door of the piano store and walking in.

Although Anna and Alger were puzzled, they also followed in.

When the boss saw us coming in, he immediately stepped forward and asked enthusiastically, "Sirs and ladies, what kind of violin do you want to buy?"

Anna and Alger looked at me at the same time, and the boss immediately looked at me when he saw this.

"I'll take a look at the piano." As I said that, I walked towards a grand piano.

"Miss, you really have a good eye!" The shopkeeper came over and said to me with a smile, "This piano is produced by the Newmans Piano Factory in Wangcheng, and the sound is amazing!"

"Can you try playing it?" I didn't want to buy it at all, and I didn't have the money to buy it. I just wanted to play the first piece.

"Of course!" The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture.

I sat in front of the piano, smiled and said to Anna: "Anna, I will send you a piece of music to express my heart!"

I played the famous "For Alice".It is said that this piece of music was given by Beethoven to his student and good friend, the soprano singer Elizabeth.

The song not only depicts a gentle, beautiful, innocent and lively young girl at the beginning, but also expresses the friendship between the author and the giver, so it is appropriate to play it in my current mood.

I don't know how much Anna can understand, but when I finished playing, she said "Donnie..." excitedly, then covered her mouth with her hands and could not continue, and her eyes turned red.

I stood up, approached her, and said with a smile: "I have a chance to play a dance piece for you. Of course, it's best to have Alger as my partner."

Alger looked at me with sparkling eyes, and sighed, "Donnie, you must not be from an ordinary family..."

I smiled at him, avoided talking about it, and then dragged them out.Just as we were about to go out, the shopkeeper taunted behind us: "What's so proud of this level? Let's forget about it if you can't afford it, and you want to show it off!"

I:"……"

This song is really not difficult, and beginners in the third and fourth grades can play it.But I just play it because it fits my current state of mind, not to show off.

Seeing me stop, the shop owner continued to snort coldly: "I have also learned the piano, I still know how you play!"

If I were alone at this moment, I would just laugh it off and walk out of the gate calmly.But when I just gave this song to my friends present, he poured cold water on it like this. To be honest, it was hard for me to swallow this breath.

"Okay," I smiled at him and said, "Since you are also a piano learner, I'll play another piece for you to appreciate!"

After speaking, regardless of whether he agreed or not, I sat back in front of the piano just now, and pressed my hands on the keys.

One of Liszt's super skills etudes, "wisps of fire" - the piece I practiced desperately in order to beat my brother at a party.Because I practiced it day and night for a long time, I can still play it from memory to this day.

This piece is really difficult, and concert-level pianists rarely perform in public. If an amateur level-[-] pianist like me hadn't practiced hard for a long time, it would be impossible to play it smoothly, and there is still no score. Down.Of course, playing it can only show that the skill is good, and it doesn't mean how good it is, because I still can't play it lightly, interestingly, and full of aura.

After the song ended, the room was so quiet that breathing could be heard, but the notes played just now seemed to still linger in the room.

After a long time, the owner suddenly took a deep breath, and then stepped forward excitedly and said to me: "You, what piece did you play just now? Can you give me the score? Oh my God, it's so shocking. Play like this!"

I smiled at him and said, "Sorry, I can't give you the score without the original author's permission."

Since they are two different worlds, it is better for each of them to maintain their original appearance, so I don't want to mess around with cultural export.

The shopkeeper seemed really fascinated by the piece, and blurted out, "I'll trade this piano for it!"

I pulled Anna and Alger outside, and said to him with a smile, "Sorry, I can't exchange other people's things."

The main reason is that I don't want a piano. If I meet what I need, then I may exchange it immediately without hesitation... Anyway, the original author doesn't know, hehe.

Walking out of the store, Anna took my hand and said incoherently: "Donnie, you are so impressive! Although I don't know anything about music, I know it must be great to be able to play this piece! God, I just watch I was dazzled to see your fingers jumping and moving so fast on the keys... You are amazing! Not only can you dance, but you can also play the piano!"

Rao I have a thick skin, but if she continues to boast, I will probably blush.

"I've only learned a little bit, and I can play this one if it's difficult..." I patted her on the shoulder, signaling her not to be so excited.

"Donnie," Alger said hesitantly, "You are really surprising... If you want that piano, I can find a way..."

"Don't!" I immediately interrupted him, "Don't! I don't like piano, but I was forced to learn a little bit when I was young."

I really don't like the piano, and the reason why I worked so hard to learn it is because the woman made her son learn the piano.That woman claimed to be from a scholarly and literary family, and she looked down on my mother, a former state-owned enterprise worker who followed a man to resign and go to sea.Since she feels that her son is a born nobleman with all kinds of literary and artistic qualities, then I must jump out and slap him in the face!

Whatever that kid wants to learn, I will definitely learn, and I will learn better than him.So, on the surface, I seem to play everything well and easily, but in fact, only I know the hard work I have put in in private.

Thinking of those bad memories from the past, my mood also instantly deteriorated.

Probably because my complexion didn't look good either, Alger immediately nodded and replied: "Oh, so that's the case, then forget it."

After an episode, the three of us continued to walk to the train station.

After arriving at the train station, I had to feel a lot of emotion after seeing the modern train station.The trains of this era are still the most primitive small steam trains, and the stations are also very simple. The sneaky trains often seen in old movies can also be realized here.

The train ticket is still very expensive. Anna's hometown is in the northernmost part of the Tride area, not too far from Tlay City, but the train ticket costs twelve copper coins.

Alger and I stood on the platform to see Anna off.

"Here, a New Year's gift for you." I handed her the scarf wrapped in my hand.

She was stunned, looked at the scarf and then at me, and then said after a while: "For me?"

"Yes." I raised my hand and pinned the blown hair around her face behind her ears, and said with a smile, "You look good wearing it, and the temperature in your hometown is lower, so wearing a scarf can somewhat warm you up. "

It's a pity that I don't have enough money, otherwise I could buy her a thick coat.

"Donnie..." Her eye circles instantly turned red.

This little girl was so easily moved that her eyes turned red at every turn.

"Okay, the train is about to start, get on the train quickly." I patted her on the shoulder and motioned her to get on the train quickly.

She nodded, said nothing but hugged me, waved to Alger, and got into the car.When she turned around, she wiped her face with her hands, not sure if she was crying.

When the train left, I turned to Alger and said, "Let's go, let's go back quickly."

"You are so kind to Anna, just like an elder sister takes care of her younger sister." Argel walked side by side with me and sighed.

Obviously it's the elder brother who takes care of the younger sister, okay?I muttered to myself.

"Here, your New Year's gift." He handed me the cardboard box in his hand.

"Thank you!" I accepted the things generously, and after hesitating for a moment, I took out the lighter from my pocket and gave it to him, "It's for you, don't hold it against me."

I didn't see his expression, it made me feel ashamed to give such a poor gift for the first time.

"Thank you, Donnie." His tone still sounded sincere.

"When I have more savings, I will buy you a good one." I rubbed my nose in embarrassment.

"This is good, I like it very much."

"In short, as long as you like it." I still looked ahead without looking at him, "But it's better to smoke less, just like you advised me."

"Okay." He answered happily.

Not far from the train station, Alger saw a carriage passing by, so he reached out to stop it.

"Donnie, let's go back in the carriage, otherwise it will be dark when we go back."

Only then did I know that this kind of carriage is for rent, which is equivalent to a taxi in my world.This kind of carriage that can be rented has a yellow ribbon around the neck of the horse to distinguish it from private carriages.

Alger and I boarded the carriage, and when the coachman yelled, the horse started galloping.

The interior space of the car is very small, about four people can be seated.At this time, I was sitting opposite Alger. He seemed a little uncomfortable because he was facing me directly, and he looked out the window frequently.

I also chose to remain silent because I had nothing to talk about.The two of us sat down to our destination in relative silence.

Alger took out two copper coins and handed them to the coachman. The coachman said "please go, sir and miss" and drove away with his whip.

"Good night, Alger." I waved to Alger and took the initiative to say goodbye to him.

"Wait a minute, Donnie!" He stopped me.

I stopped to look at him, his throat moved, but he didn't speak for a long time.

"What's wrong?" I couldn't help asking.

"That..." He seemed a little hesitant, his brows were already slightly furrowed.

I waited patiently, but this sentence came——

"It's nothing, you go back, good night." His voice was very soft, and he seemed to sigh secretly.

I always feel that he wants to say something very important to me. It can be seen that he is like this, so I can't ask further.So, let him tell me when he wants to talk.
