Controlling the Five Thunders and the Two Worlds

Chapter 58 Smart Xiao Ya

Guangdong Provincial Culture and Arts Center.

After sending the two girls into the waiting room, Gu Zhao and Zhang Hang waited outside and continued to discuss what car to buy.

While waiting, people who had finished their interviews came out one after another, as did people who were rushing to be interviewed. Most of them were women, and they had exquisite makeup and were very beautiful.

The Guangdong Provincial National Orchestra, Dance Troupe, Singing Group, Cantonese Opera Troupe, Opera and Drama Troupe, etc. are all together, and many interviews for recent graduates are scheduled in the last few days, so the people who come are not only from the music department, but also other art students.

Those who were singing, dancing, playing instruments, acting and performing were all together, and there were not only Gu Zhao and his companions waiting outside, but also the boyfriends and girlfriends, parents and family members of the interviewees.

"No wonder those old guys like to go to art colleges to have fun. The girls who are into art are really beautiful." Zhang Hang commented.

"Indeed." Gu Zhao nodded in acknowledgment.

"But the key is still makeup. The four evil arts are well-deserved." Zhang Hang continued.

"Yes." Gu Zhao agreed.

"But most of them probably don't look as good as your two girls without makeup." Zhang Hang concluded.

"That's right." Gu Zhao nodded in agreement.

Zhang Hang pointed at Gu Zhao and said in a surprised tone, "Great! You actually admit that they are all your sisters!"

"Childish." Gu Zhao moved Zhang Hang's fingers away.

Zhang Hang hugged Gu Zhao and said, "Brother, we are a family and we should keep our distance. When the time comes, let those two introduce me to some reliable people. Your happiness for the rest of your life depends on you!"

……

A moment later, Jiang Shishi came out with a big bag on her back and she and Xiao Ya carried a suitcase together. Several boys nearby wanted to help, but they were all declined.

"We're done with the exam!" Jiang Shishi raised her chin towards Gu Zhao, "Come and give me a hand!"

Gu Zhao and Zhang Hang came over together and took the guzheng from them. "How did you do on the exam?"

"It shouldn't be a problem." Xiao Ya smiled gently. "We used our own instruments, and the results were pretty good. The interviewers were all quite satisfied."

Jiang Shishi patted Gu Zhao's arm and said, "Eat, eat. Come with us to look at houses this afternoon."

Gu Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Don't we have to wait for the results?"

Jiang Shishi raised her eyebrows and asked, "You don't have confidence in these two top students who receive scholarships from Yandu Conservatory of Music every year?"

Gu Zhao quickly shook his head, "I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare, I'm so disrespectful!"

"That's right. Besides, Yangcheng has a rich entertainment industry and the competition is not as fierce as Yandu. Even if you can't join the folk music band, it's easy to find a job, right?" Jiang Shishi said nonchalantly.

"That's right," Zhang Hang said. "It's trendy now to use classical instruments to play modern music. The effect is incredible. Suona even played in Walker's concert."

When it comes to music and musical instruments, Jiang Shishi and Xiao Ya are no longer sleepy, and each one is more energetic than the other.

"That suona master played Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix at a Vienna concert, not taking a breath for a minute. He stunned the musicians and received three rounds of applause."

"There are also the pipa and erhu, one with a crisp and bright sound, the other with a delicate and long voice, both of which are no less impressive than those Western instruments."

Zhang Hang looked at the guzheng in his hand and said, "I saw many people playing the guzheng upright in the short videos. How can they lift it up?"

"Guzhengs are made of different woods with varying thicknesses, so their weights vary," Xiao Ya explained. "Most of the guzhengs online that can be held upright are made of ordinary redwood, weighing less than 20 kilograms."

Zhang Hang lowered his head. "What about yours?"

He could lift anything weighing less than 20 kilograms with one hand, but he felt it was difficult to lift this guzheng with both hands.

Xiao Ya was a little embarrassed. "This is made of red sandalwood, about 60 kilograms." Gu Zhao subconsciously asked, "Small-leaf red sandalwood?"

Xiao Ya stuck out her tongue and said, "I can't afford small-leaf red sandalwood, so I used rosewood. Although it's not as precious as small-leaf red sandalwood, the tone is actually not much different."

Gu Zhao said, "So we can use small-leaf red sandalwood?"

"Any musical instrument can be made of small-leaf red sandalwood." Jiang Shishi smiled and raised her shoulders. "For example, if my pipa is made of small-leaf red sandalwood by a master, it can sell for over one million yuan."

"Wow, it's about the same as a Yangwang 8." Zhang Hang looked at the guzheng in his hand. "Wouldn't that guzheng be more expensive?"

Jiang Shishi said as a matter of course, "Of course, the guzheng is heavier!"

After leaving the art center, they returned to the hotel first and then went to eat. In the afternoon, they accompanied the two girls for a walk around the area, found a mid-range community, and rented a two-bedroom, one-living room house. A day passed.

……

"Hello? Mom?"

In the hotel, Xiao Ya received a call from her mother Su Lei and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

After all, she had lied to her mother and was even planning to stay in Yangcheng. Xiao Ya had never done such a rebellious thing before, not to mention that there was no inkling of anything between her and Gu Zhao.

However, Su Lei's voice was unusually gentle. "How was your time with Shishi?"

"I'm fine. Is there anything wrong?" Xiao Ya asked.

"Are you still angry with me?" Su Lei misunderstood Xiao Ya's dry voice. "You are too simple-minded. Isn't I worried that you've been deceived?"

Xiao Ya couldn't help but say, "I saw it with my own eyes."

"Just because you see it with your own eyes doesn't mean it's true." Su Lei habitually taught him a lesson, and then immediately said, "But the person you met this time was definitely not a liar."

"Huh?" Xiao Ya was stunned.

"And your grandfather's health has improved, and it is indeed thanks to your friend." Su Lei said on the phone.

"How do you know?" Xiao Ya asked tentatively.

"Master Yi Guan brought Master Yi Hong to our house to meet your grandfather. I just learned that there really are Taoist Qi and magical talismans and tools in the world." Su Lei is still a little bit incredulous.

Being friends with Xiao Yanhua and having seen the Taoist talismans, Taoist Master Yihong gave them a brief explanation of the Taoist cultivation theory and let them experience the feeling of magic power flowing through their bodies.

After experiencing it in person, Su Lei had no choice but to believe it.

"Is that so?" Xiao Ya breathed a sigh of relief. She thought her mother had connections in the Guangdong Folk Music Orchestra, and knew that she was here for an interview, so she was planning to trick her back.

"If you really have feelings for that guy, Mom wouldn't object to you developing a relationship."

Su Lei is not stupid. Her family is not short of money. Although they are not powerful, Xiao Yanhua is a calligrapher and she herself is a musician, so they are also from a noble family. Of course, the health of the whole family is the most important.

A blessed amulet! It was something that even the rich and powerful couldn't obtain. Even Taoist Master Yihong rarely made one, and wouldn't even sell it easily.

If everyone in my family could bring...

However, Su Lei couldn't help but hesitate, "Of course, the premise is that he wants to develop in Yandu."

Xiao Ya couldn't help but feel moved when she heard Su Lei's words.

She wasn't stupid, so she immediately seized the opportunity, "Mom..."
