Chapter 22 Go to the Song(2/2)
It is indeed very different from those fixed card songs.
"You learn to hum first." Du Ruo said to Su Xiaomei.
He was a musician in his previous life and was very familiar with teaching people to sing. He wanted Su Xiaomei to hum and write melody carefully, and then teach her three or five times. It was almost time to know.
But he didn't expect that Su Xiaomei could hum the complete melody just by listening to her sing. Even if the process was shy and blushed, she did not go out of tune.
"Awesome little sister!"
Du Ruo gave Su Xiaomei a thumbs up, and then asked her to start singing according to the lyrics. Su Xiaomei's face was always red, which made Du Ruo feel moved. In later generations, she almost never saw girls blushing like this.
Although she blushed, with Du Ruo's encouragement, Su Xiaomei still started singing lyrics seriously, and the maid beside her also held her arm to encourage her.
After Su Xiaomei finished singing, she lowered her head in shame because she could clearly feel that what she sang was far worse than what Du Ruo sang.
Du Ruo smiled. Su Xiaomei's voice was as clear and pleasant as a spring, but she sang it really didn't sound nice, and she was unstable in all kinds of breaths, and the louder silences made the maids around her laugh.
But after all, she was not out of tune, she just didn't understand singing skills.
"Little sister."
Du Ruo called her softly, and when she blushed and looked up, Du Ruo pointed to her lower abdomen and said, "Try to use her lower abdomen to drive her voice."
"Use your lower abdomen?"
Su Xiaomei was puzzled and looked at her flat belly with a blue scarf. The maid beside her was also curiously touching her belly.
"This is what Taoism calls Dantian luck. Xue Xingshou and others use this singing technique." Du Ruo pointed to his lower abdomen and his throat.
So, Su Xiaomei tried it, and the song she sang was immediately different from before. Her breath was stable and melodious. After the song was sung, the maids beside her grabbed her hand happily and ecstatic: "Miss Wow, you sang so well this time!"
Su Xiaomei's face was blushing, but it was no longer shameful, but because of joy and excitement.
"It's very good. If you are familiar with me, it's better than what I sing." Du Ruo didn't praise him, Su Xiaomei did have this talent. She could understand it at one point and become more skillful at one point. "It's just that the voice is too small, and it's perfect to sing with it."
Su Xiaomei said softly: "How dare you sing here~"
………
Du Ruo only taught Su Xiaomei this song, and then took her out shopping. Once there was no one, Su Xiaomei would hum this song "Sweet Honey" in a low voice, having fun, even the maid learned it.
Du Ruo understood her. She became more and more addicted to singing the thing, especially after learning the new song.
After lunch, Du Ruo took Su Xiaomei to the mansion to meet Liu, saying that he would take Su Xiaomei to Qunfanglou to listen to music in the evening, and asked Liu to help inform the Su family.
In this era, brothels are just entertainment venues similar to later singing and dancing halls, so both men and women can go there. Liu grew up in a wealthy family in Bianjing and his knowledge is far beyond ordinary women. He does not object to his son's occasional brothels. These days, Du Ruo studied hard every day, and she saw it.
It was not the first time she met Su Xiaomei. She liked Su Xiaomei very much when she was young. She knew that Su Xiaomei was dignified and clever. She felt more at ease with Su Xiaomei following Du Ruo.
So in the afternoon, Liu sent his personal maid to the Su family to report that in the afternoon, the wife met Su Xiaomei on the street and invited her to the mansion to have dinner and asked Du Ruo to send her home in person to the evening.
If they were not engaged, the Su family would definitely not agree to this matter, but since the two had already had an engagement, that was nothing. When former Prime Minister Jia Chaochang was demoted to Daming Mansion, his seventeen-year-old daughter had to live directly into the engaged in the family for half a month because of the inconvenience of moving, and no one criticized him.
So, Du Ruo, who was wearing a jade crown and a lantern and brocade uniform, had a style that suited the master of Meizhou, and Su Xiaomei, who was wearing a Confucian robe and looked like a scholar in Wenxiu, came to the gate of Qunfanglou.
