Chapter 278: Suddenly Cued

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

He was 73 years old this year, and was dressed in a simple gray Tang outfit and wore a pair of black sunglasses.

Of course, he wasn’t blind; the glasses were to help him focus.

He played a song that everyone was familiar with, “Second Spring Reflects the Moon.” It was a poignant and gentle tune, which was also very heartfelt. It made everyone’s hearts go soft; it felt like a spring that was about to flow over!

Everyone was left wanting more, and they became emotional and sad.

Then came suona master, Xiao Qifang.

When he blew on the suona, there was great joy and great sadness! It was full of intense and passionate joy, but also contained extreme sorrow which gripped the heart. Everyone was enthralled by every breath he took. As expected of a master!

Then, there were the sanxian and the tambourine.

The four masters performed their very best on their instruments. Everyone present flushed with shame!

This was the soul of their nation; it turned out that even their own traditional music could sound so good.

Compared with the piano or guitar or whatever, each had their own strengths; they didn’t lose out at all!

When the performance ended, there was endless applause.

Everyone in the studio and in front of the live stream couldn’t help but tear up!

They saw how worried the older generation was about traditional music dying out. They saw how absorbed the older generation was in their performances, and how happy they were to showcase this music. The audience saw many things, and how the older generation did all they could to protect their music.

On the side, Lu An couldn’t help but be a little moved. She recalled how there were many similar and cute grandfathers in the other world.

All of them were so proud of their performances!

The little girl raised her and applauded them quietly. They were awesome!

Who would have thought that she would be cued in the next second?

“Director Lu Xiao’an, I heard that you have astonishing talent at playing the piano. I wonder if you can also play some traditional instruments?”

“Huh?”

It was the oldest of the masters, erhu master Liu Erlan.

Master Liu was all smiles and had a kind old face. However, he was wearing sunglasses, so it was difficult to see his expression. Somehow, the wrinkles on his face gave off the feeling that he was a bad old man who was up to no good?

The other three people also looked at Lu An after Master Liu cued her — why were they looking at her like that?

Lu An was dumbfounded. The live stream viewers immediately perked up —

[Ahhh, it feels like Lu An is being led around by the nose! Why do I want to laugh so much? These grandfathers are too cute!]

[Say, if Lu An says no, will she be beaten to death?]

[Hahaha, I suddenly want to see my little sister beaten down! Don’t hate me~]

Everyone was so excited. After being asked again, Lu An barely managed to react, and answered a little awkwardly, “I… I do, just a little.”

“Then, why don’t you come and try it?”

The masters took advantage of the situation and directly offered the best instruments which they had long prepared for a disciple.

“I, I think I shouldn’t.”

Lu An found it very difficult to refuse.

How should she put it? She admitted that her skills weren’t bad, and she even thought that she was pretty good, but that was just how she felt; her masters in the other world, however, had said that they had never had a disciple as terrible as her.

Perhaps it was because she loved to play around too much, but she often couldn’t help but fool around with the instruments, so her masters all wanted to beat her to death, even though she really did die in the end.

But let’s not scare the old men here.
