Fan Cheng sat in the living room for a while, chatting with his grandfather and Xie Yunzhi, after making tea, he got up and went to the kitchen to cook.Xie Yunzhi was led by his grandfather, and listened to his grandfather talking about his collection of antiques and musical instruments in the living room.Once the old man talked about his hobbies and collections, he couldn't stop, and Xie Yunzhi also listened with great interest.

Autumn is the season when hairy crabs are plump. Five crabs are steamed in a pot, and a pot of Shaoxing rice wine is served warm.Braised bamboo shoots in oil, stir-fried grass heads, and crystal shrimp are all local specialties.Fan Cheng is very familiar with it, and his movements are skillful and agile.

She had made an appointment with her grandfather a long time ago, and asked him to only buy vegetables, and cook after she came that day.She learned the craft from her grandfather, and she was very interested in cooking since she was a child.Later, I lived alone outside, and it was inevitable to cook.His grandfather was originally from Zhejiang, but after living in Shanghai for so long, his living habits have followed the locals', and his taste has changed to Shanghai's.Fan Cheng grew up eating the old Shanghai taste of thick oily red sauce.

Xie Yunzhi listened to the old man talk about antique musical instruments, while keeping his attention in the kitchen.The distance between the kitchen and the living room is not far, and she can see the situation in the kitchen as soon as she probes.The aroma of the food made her a little distracted, and she couldn't listen to the old man's words.She quietly looked towards the kitchen. From the angle she was standing now, she could just see Fan Cheng's tall and straight back.

She took off her windbreaker, only wearing a suit vest and shirt, with the cuffs rolled up, and a half-waist apron, giving her the impression of a western chef.She exudes a very unique charm that Xie Yunzhi has never seen before.Xie Yunzhi saw that she was cutting vegetables neatly and methodically, she was clearly a frequent cook.For some reason, my heart pounded, and my cheeks felt hot for no reason.Probably because Xie Yunzhi seldom cooks, and she is not good at cooking, so she looks forward to the kind of person who is good at cooking, not to mention that this person is Fan Cheng, which is twice as attractive to her.

"Ninny, you're tired from standing, go and have a rest." At this moment, grandpa smiled and gave her a hand, Xie Yunzhi came back to her senses, seeing grandpa's meaningful smile, she couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed.

"Oh, I'm getting older, it's rare to have someone to talk with, and I can't stop talking. You young people, not many like these things." Grandpa led Xie Yunzhi back to the mahogany sofa and sighed.Xie Yunzhi heard the words and hurriedly said:

"No, I'm very interested. My mother is a dancer of classical dance, and she often has contact with folk orchestras. I was taken by my mother when I was a child, and I often went to the folk orchestra to play. At that time, I saw all kinds of musical instruments. , I found it very interesting. Unfortunately, I have never learned it.”

"Well, your mother is a dancer of classical dance, what's her name?"

"Liang Yun."

"Ah, so it's Xiao Liang, so you are a girl from Xiao Liang's family." The old man suddenly realized.

"Grandpa, do you know my mother?" Xie Yunzhi asked in surprise.

"Not only did I know each other, I also wrote a lot of shakuhachi dance soundtracks for your mother."

"Did you write the flute song "Spring River Flower and Moonlight Night" in the dance drama "Tang Yun"?" Xie Yunzhi asked as memories flooded.

"Hahaha, niece, you've heard my song before." The old man was very happy when he heard that.

"We are very familiar with your songs. It's just that I don't know. So you and your mother know each other, and she hasn't told me about it." Xie Yunzhi smiled.

"Ninny, you are learning Han and Tang dances."

"Yes, Grandpa."

"Oh, no wonder you have such a good figure. Do you still dance now?"

Xie Yunzhi shook her head embarrassedly.

"It doesn't matter. Kung fu is in me. After so many years of dancing, I won't lose it. Dancing, even if it's not my profession, is still a very good hobby. By the way, Chengcheng and I will accompany you later, you dance How about a song?"

"Eh?" Xie Yunzhi was taken aback.

"How about just dancing "Tang Yun"'s "Spring River Flower and Moon Night"? That's your mother's solo dance, oops, I remember when I went to see the first performance of "Tang Yun" more than ten years ago, I was really shocked by this dance , It’s so beautiful. It’s a pity that I’m too old now and can’t travel far, so it’s hard to have the opportunity to see this dance back then.”

Xie Yunzhi was a little embarrassed. On the one hand, she didn't want to spoil the old man's good interest, and this was one of the few wishes of the old man. It would be too naive for her to refuse.But on the other hand, she hasn't danced for too long, her hands and feet are rusty, and she is worried that she will make a fool of herself in front of her grandfather and Fan Cheng, which would be too embarrassing.

At this time, Fan Cheng entered the dining room with a big plate of crabs, and shouted to the living room:

"Grandpa, Yunzhi, come to eat, let's eat crabs first."

Xie Yunzhi was temporarily rescued, and the three of them sat around the dining table.Fan Cheng first poured warm wine for the old man. The old man has no bad habits in his life, he only loves to drink, especially drinking rice wine when he eats crabs, which is one of the greatest pleasures in his life.

Fan Cheng glanced at Xie Yunzhi, and asked her if she wanted a drink, Xie Yunzhi was a little uncertain, she was afraid that if she drank alcohol, if she wanted to dance later, she might not be able to stand steadily.Although she has a good capacity for alcohol, she has never tried dancing while drinking, so she really has no idea.

In the end, after such a moment of hesitation, the jug in Fan Cheng's hand was snatched away by his grandfather:

"You girl, why don't you pour wine for others? It's rude. How did grandpa teach you?"

"No, grandpa, she shouldn't be able to drink Yunzhi..." Fan Cheng felt wronged.

"Naughty, can I have a drink?" the old man asked.

"Yes, I can drink." Xie Yunzhi glanced at Fan Cheng apologetically, and Fan Cheng could only smile helplessly.

"It's good to be able to drink, and have a drink with grandpa. If you eat crabs and don't drink some rice wine to warm your body, it will be too cold. This rice wine is Shaoxing Laotan Huadiao, which is brewed by grandpa's hometown. It is very mellow. Try it."

"Thank you, grandpa." The old man poured wine for Xie Yunzhi himself, and Xie Yunzhi raised his glass in fear and continued.

The three of them clinked glasses and had a sip first, and then they started eating.The hairy crabs picked by my grandfather are really plump and plump. With Fan Cheng's vinegar ginger, it is easy to taste the ultimate deliciousness.As old Shanghainese, Fan Cheng and Mr. Fan are unique in eating crabs. The old man can even spell out a whole crab after eating.In contrast, Xie Yunzhi is really clumsy. She is a girl from the north, and she really eats less crabs. Although she can be regarded as good at eating crabs, her skills cannot be compared with the old and young of the Fan family.

Fan Cheng probably saw Xie Yunzhi's embarrassment, so he stretched out his hand to help her remove the crabs, and his movements were smooth and smooth. In just a few minutes, Xie Yunzhi's bowl was filled with a pile of crab meat and crab roe, mixed with a little vinegar and ginger, and directly covered with rice. On the morning, Xie Yunzhi ate half a bowl of rice deliciously.She felt that all the crabs she had eaten since she was a child were in vain, and today she probably ate the most delicious food in the world.

In addition to crabs, there are also Fan Cheng's fried dishes, which are really delicious. Xie Yunzhi ate this meal very happily. She who has always controlled her food intake and can't eat very much, actually ate two bowls of rice today.In addition, she also drank two cups of wine, slightly tipsy, with a faint pink color on her face, which is indescribably beautiful.

After dinner, Xie Yunzhi asked Ying to wash the dishes, Fan Cheng went to help her, and the two went into the kitchen together.

"I'm full..." Xie Yunzhi whispered to Fan Cheng.

Fan Cheng smiled: "Haha, it's good to eat enough, you're just too skinny."

"What should I do, just now your grandfather asked me to dance." Xie Yunzhi said.

"Dancing?" Fan Cheng didn't quite understand for a while.

"Well, I talked to him about my learning of Han and Tang dances. The old man became interested and wanted to accompany me. He asked me to dance a song "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" for him."

"Okay!" Fan Cheng's eyes lit up.

"Hey, you can help me." Xie Yunzhi was anxious.

"Don't you want to dance?" Fan Cheng asked.

"It's not that I don't want to dance, it's just..."

"It's fine if you want to dance. Let me tell you, my grandpa will accompany you. It's a rare opportunity. You will be envied to death. I will record a picture later and keep it as a treasure." Fan Cheng said.

"Oh, but I... haven't danced for a long time, I'm afraid I can't dance well. Besides, "Moonlight Night on the Spring River" is my mother's representative dance..." Xie Yunzhi had a headache.

"Yunzhi, what are you doing so nervous? It's not performing on stage, it's just playing around at home."

Xie Yun was stunned by this sentence, she couldn't help sighing, she thought yes, it's not on stage, why would she have a rebellious mentality about dancing?Once upon a time, she liked dancing so much. When she was walking on the road, whenever she thought of a certain movement, she would jump straight away, and she was never afraid of other people's eyes.But now...she even wants to avoid the old man's kind request. After all, she still hasn't completely recovered from the shadow of giving up dancing.

"If you really don't want to dance, how about I tell grandpa?" Fan Cheng asked gently.

"It's okay, there's no need. It's rare for an old man to be interested. I definitely can't disappoint. You let me brew it."

"Well, good." Fan Cheng smiled, "Oh, by the way, it's not convenient for you to dance with your clothes on."

Xie Yunzhi looked at her high-waisted jeans and couldn't help laughing, it was really inconvenient for her to wear them like this.Fan Cheng asked:

"Is the action range of "Spring River Flower and Moonlight Night" large?"

"Fortunately, the general movements of the Han and Tang dances are not very big, but there are many movements of sinking the waist, squatting, lifting the hips and tilting the hips. It is suitable for dancing in a toga with large sleeves. My pants are a bit tight, and I lift my hips and kick my legs. It will be more troublesome." Xie Yunzhi laughed at the end.

"Then you can choose a jump with a relatively small range of motion, let's click on it." Fan Cheng said.

"En." Xie Yunzhi nodded.

After tidying up, the three of them sat around the coffee table, chatting and digesting food.Not long after, the old man took a shakuhachi from his collection with great interest, the commonly used flute and flute, and Fan Cheng helped to take the guqin from the shelf.

The two tune the instrument.Fan Cheng spread out the rolled carpet, sat cross-legged on the ground, put the guqin on his knees, and tuned the strings with harmonics.Xie Yunzhi looked at her posture and knew that she must have practiced for many years.She doesn't know guqin very well, so she can't tell what the style of the guqin used by Fan Cheng is, but she knows a little about the broken lines of the qin lacquer. If you carefully observe the broken lines of this piano, you can see that it is ice cracks , she reckoned that this piano was old and priceless.

Fan Cheng played a small piece first, and Xie Yunzhi could tell that it was the main theme of "Moonlight Night on the Spring River". The ancient song "Moonlight on the Spring River" was originally a pipa song, but later it was changed to a guzheng song. Grandpa Fan changed the flute version again. Xie Yunzhi really didn't know that there was a guqin version.The old man took a look at Fan Cheng and asked if she had any problems, Fan Cheng said, "No problem."

"Okay, let's play together first." The old man picked out a qin flute to match the guqin, not robbing the sound of the guqin.

"One, two, get up~" As soon as the old man finished speaking, Fan Chengxu moved his hands on the piano, and the elegant music drifted out, soaking into Xie Yun's heart like a clear spring.

The sound of the qin and flute cut in at the most appropriate time, making the melody of the guqin even more distant and melodious.Xie Yunzhi was fascinated by what she heard, she put her hands on her cheeks, her eyes fell on Fan Cheng's body and she couldn't take her eyes off her.Wearing a shirt and a suit vest, this person can give off the charm of ancient celebrities. If he is wearing a white cross-collar gown, wouldn't he be the fairy in the painting?

The music washed away Xie Yunzhi's body and mind, making her forget where she was, her identity, and those complicated and trivial matters for a moment.For a long time, she has never spent such a leisurely and peaceful time.Fan Cheng and her family are really unbelievable. They may be the real hermits who belong to this era.

After the song was over, the old man was very happy, but he still couldn't help swearing at his granddaughter: "How long has it been since you practiced the piano? Your fingering is unfamiliar. If your grandma knows, she must be sad."

"Oh, grandpa..." Fan Cheng felt embarrassed, "I don't have time."

"I don't have time, I think it's just an excuse." The old man reached out and tapped her forehead, and Fan Cheng stuck out his tongue.

"Ninny, look, do you want to dance?" The old man turned his head again and asked Xie Yunzhi again.

Xie Yunzhi glanced at Fan Cheng, and seeing her encouraging eyes, she smiled and agreed, "Okay, then I'll make a fool of myself."

"Wait a minute, I'll set up a mobile phone to record a video first." Fan Cheng put the guqin away, stood up and smiled.

Xie Yunzhi inexplicably became nervous again.
