257 Little LAN is more than enough to be my teacher!

Although elder Xu was old, he was still in good spirits.

He walked into the garden with steady steps. When he saw s.h.i.+ qinglan, his expression finally became much more kind.

Teacher, An mu smiled sweetly. I used to want to invite you to the capital to teach the piano, but I couldnt even get you to come. Why are you here today?

Elder Xu had a deep understanding of the zither.

However, he had stayed in Ying city for a long time and was unwilling to move. He was even more unwilling to partic.i.p.ate in the disputes of the wealthy families in the imperial capital. Therefore, these wealthy families had invited him to the imperial capital to teach the zither, but he had not been moved. If he really wanted to be a master and learn the zither, he had to come to Ying city to pay a visit.

His eyebrows twitched, and he glanced at an mu inexplicably. a student who gave up halfway is not qualified to call me teacher. Anyway, my coming to the capital has nothing to do with you.

Hearing this, an mus face instantly turned pale.

She gently pinched the corner of her dress. She didnt expect elder Xu to have such a strange temper. He didnt even want to leave her face in public!

However, she secretly thought that this did not matter

Even if he felt that it was too difficult to give up on the guqin, it was still better than s.h.i.+ qinglan, who had never even touched the piano and guzheng before!

An mu comforted herself, but the next second

LAN girl! Elder Xu walked toward s.h.i.+ qinglan with a smile.

He put his hands behind his back and looked at the girl with a kind expression. I made an exception today and specially flew to the capital to attend your family reunion dinner. No one else could invite me even if they wanted to!

s.h.i.+ qinglans Red lips curved into a smile. thank you, elder Xu.

Elder Xu hurriedly waved his hands. no, LAN girl, dont be polite with me. You can shorten my life then If you really want to thank me, why dont you play a few more songs for me?

Looking at the two people who were very familiar with each others interaction

An mu was a little stunned. dan Playing the zither?

A look of surprise and confusion flashed across her eyes. She could not figure out how s.h.i.+ qinglan knew him, and even more so, why would old master s.h.i.+ suddenly mention zither to s.h.i.+ qinglan!

An mu was slightly startled. Xu Old Mr. Xu, could it be that s.h.i.+ qinglan was your student back in Ying city?

He saw elder Xu chatting with s.h.i.+ qinglan.

A few families that had hired elder Xu to be their childrens zither teacher couldnt help but surround them.

Elder Xu raised his hand and touched his little stubble. a student? Youre saying that LAN is my student? How is that possible?

An mu and the others were relieved when they heard that.

She knew it was impossible. Old Mr. Xus fee for his lessons was so high, and he had a strange temper and did not accept it from just anyone. Before s.h.i.+ qinglan returned to the s.h.i.+ Financial Group, although she was in a favorable position in Ying city, she was just an ordinary girl from the slums

There was no honor to be elder Xus student!

Elder Xu, please come in. s.h.i.+ qinglan smiled sweetly as she looked at elder Xu and welcomed him in.

s.h.i.+ Qing sized up these people indifferently from the side.

His dark eyes darkened a little. He waved his hand and called Ji Lin over, then whispered, help me keep an eye on these people. If anyone dares to say anything bad about LAN er, drive them out immediately.

Alright, he said. Ji Lin nodded slightly and went to do it.

Elder Xu did not bring Xu Cheng along this time. When he heard that the s.h.i.+ financial magnate was going to hold a family recognition banquet for s.h.i.+ qinglan, he shamelessly used his connections to get an invitation letter and flew to the capital alone

He had no interest in drinks or desserts. He was just trying to keep up appearances for s.h.i.+ qinglan, so that the mediocre people in the imperial capital would not think that she could be looked down on just because she came from ye city.

Elder Xu strolled around the garden casually, not wanting to pay attention to the others, but there were countless people who took the initiative to curry favor with him.

old Mister Xu,. ve long heard of your name

I heard that elder Xu is quite accomplished in the zither. My daughter has just turned three years old and would like to be your disciple!

my girl has also admired old Mr. Xu for a long time

Elder Xu couldnt take in these compliments. He was too lazy to pay attention to them and pretended not to hear them.

Until someone asked, old Mr. s.h.i.+, could it be that the s.h.i.+ financial magnate hired you as a teacher for their daughter? is that why you came to the capital and are still ignoring us?

The woman had just noticed the interaction between elder Xu and s.h.i.+ qinglan. In addition to his indifference towards her at the moment, she naturally thought that he was trying to curry favor with the s.h.i.+ family.

The woman said, I heard that the young lady of the s.h.i.+ financial magnate doesnt understand music theory. Im afraid its impossible for her to learn such a difficult instrument as the guqin when shes an adult, unlike our daughter

Wait, Elder Xus brows furrowed.

He slowly turned around to look at the woman, and a little puzzlement flashed in his weathered eyes. you said that girl LAN doesnt understand music theory?

The woman was slightly startled. yes Thats right,

That was what everyone had been discussing at the banquet just now. Moreover, miss an seemed to have asked about it, and the daughter of the s.h.i.+ financial magnate had admitted to it. She had only heard about it through hearsay.

Elder Xu almost laughed out of anger at this long-tongued woman.

He put his hands behind his back and raised his voice to shout at the n.o.bles, I heard Are you all talking about how s.h.i.+ qinglan, the daughter of the s.h.i.+ financial magnate, doesnt understand music theory?

Hearing this, the guests immediately looked at elder Xu.

Everyone looked at each other and did not know what old master Xu was up to. Was he going to expose his shortcomings in public? they could not help but want to watch a good show, and an mu even covered her mouth and laughed secretly when she saw it.

She strode over to elder Xus side and pretended to be kind as she reminded him, elder Xu, even if miss s.h.i.+ doesnt understand music theory, its not appropriate for you to undermine her in this situation, right?

the s.h.i.+ financial magnate is one of the top rich and powerful families in the imperial capital. We dont dare to talk about it casually, for fear of bringing disaster to our families

Hearing this, old Mr. Xu sneered angrily.

He strode steadily to the center of the crowd and looked sideways at s.h.i.+ qinglan, who had a delicate smile on her red lips. He shook his head repeatedly.

Everyone thought it was a sign of regret or disdain.

However, elder Xu said, if little LAN doesnt understand music at this level, Im afraid that all the rich young ladies in the capital are deaf!

An mu was stunned, and she did not understand what he meant.

Even the others were confused. They carefully savored old Mr. Xus words, and their brains couldnt quite wrap around it

The Empress heard him say sternly, I didnt know that the rich and powerful circle in the capital has become so arrogant You think that our Grandmaster level guqin player doesnt understand music?

An mus face instantly turned pale, and she looked at elder Xu in disbelief. you What did you just say!

Old Sir Xu continued to sneer.

His solemn eyes moved slightly as he swept his gaze over the people who were discussing s.h.i.+ qinglan. little Lans guqin performance has long reached the Grandmaster level! She can even be considered my little teacher, more than enough to teach me!

Oh, thats right. The owner of the famous zither, Qing Xun, is the daughter of the s.h.i.+ financial magnate who doesnt know music.

Upon hearing this, the guests were in an uproar.
