72 Using Test as Presen (1/2)
Yan looked at Soujin with dark face. ”When exactly Jun Min told you about his sister?”
”When we are fighting,” Soujin answered. ”Besides, these arts are not that important once you're married.”
Ming Hui nodded. ”Only a few of them will continue to use it to please their husband.”
”Ming Hui, you're not allowed to participate in this conversation.”
”Why?”
Soujin let the two people banter as he looks at the stage calmly. The test is about to begin.
The first test is for the girls. They all lined up to get their draw before returning to their seat. Jun Hua stared at the word on her paper.
Music
”Jun Hua, what did you get? I got music,” Fan Lanying asks excitedly.
Jun Hua shows her paper. ”I got the same with you.”
”Then when is your turn?”
”I got… the first.”
Jun Hua sighed. It seems that she will have to stand first and become the laughingstock of the people in the capital. After the girls had finished their draw, those who got drawing will start first as the one who got music play their pieces.
”Jun Hua.”
Jun Hua goes to the stage. As she walks, many people gazes are headed towards her. They could see a petite girl walking. Despite Jun Hua keeps wearing her veil, people know that she's a really pretty girl. Most of the men are lamenting why didn't she opened up her veil and let them see her face? They want to!
Jun Hua head towards the zither and took a seat before it. Although she knows that she cannot play well, she has to at least play her best. She never like string musical instrument, but the girls need to learn them so she got no choice.
Jun Hua placed her hand on top of the zither and her finger started to move. Her move is still stiff and rough, but she could remember the note clearly. She picks one of the songs she had used to play for her practice. The song is not long, but it still consists of a lot not's.
Her finger moves across the zither, but she cannot play it smoothly as there are still some tempo messed up and a few not's wrong. Her play cannot be considered good, but it's not too bad either. Compared to when she first learns the musical instrument, she had learned a lot. But for people in the hall, she plays really bad.
”Is this the standard of the academy?”
”It's really bad.”
