Chapter 1036: The Pei Family’s Heirloom!
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
In the following days, everyone in the Pei family was nervously preparing for the global press conference that was coming at the end of the month.
The person in charge of the project had revised his speech dozens of times.
It was hard not to be anxious about a major event that was second only to the company’s listing, but…only their CEO remained calm.
Pei Huai was obviously looking forward to his trip to Continent O with his wife next month.
Shen Mu was a little worried about this at first, but soon, he saw his CEO strategizing during the press conference. He rarely cared about it, but he could still accurately grasp all the processes at the critical moment and make the best decisions…
Shen Mu understood that his worries were completely unnecessary.
If he was still in school, their CEO would definitely be the kind of perverted academic b * tch who never studied, but always got full marks in all his exams and ranked first!
Ordinary people couldn’t be envious!
At the end of December, there were still three days before the press conference and twelve days before Pei Huai and Su Ji’s one-month anniversary.
It was the weekend, so Su Ji came to her husband’s house for dinner.
Du Meilan liked to be together with her children.
However, her eldest son didn’t listen to her very much. Even if he had a girlfriend, he didn’t like to bring her back. He spent all his time showing off to his future mother-in-law.
However, he had no choice. Who asked him to have poor conditions?
Of the two sons, Du Meilan was indeed more biased towards the younger son.
If someone dared to bully her youngest son, that person would see the truly terrifying side of Madam Du, even if that person was Madam Du’s soft spot, Pei Shizhan.
She might be able to forgive Pei Shizhan for falling in love with someone else, but if he hurt her youngest son in any way, she would definitely not show any mercy!
She was biased towards her youngest son, and now she even loved Su Ji, her daughter-in-law.
Knowing that Su Ji was coming to the old mansion today, out of the dozen dishes for lunch, two of them were made by Du Meilan.
The dessert was also lychee flavored.
“Madam Du is really biased.” Pei Xi and Pei Huai came downstairs. Pei Xi flipped her hair and complained to Pei Huai. “Bill doesn’t have such treatment.”
Pei Huai held the car keys in his hand and raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Pei Xi’s lips twitched. “What’s the meaning of that expression?”
Pei Huai replied with four words, “think about it.”
How is his brother-in-law and his wife…comparable?
He did not seem to have said anything, but at the same time, he seemed to have said everything. Pei Xi rushed at his departing figure in exasperation.
“Damn brat, bring my sister-in-law over earlier!”
“I know.” Pei Huai twirled the car keys in his hand. He was about to go.
An hour later, Pei Huai’s car returned to the old mansion. Su Ji arrived.
When she got out of the car, she happened to bump into Pei Song who was about to go out.
“Su Ji.” Pei Song smiled.
Su Ji got out of the car, closed the door, and raised her chin in response. “Perfect.” Pei Song looked at his third brother. “Lend me the car.”
“Where’s yours?” Pei Huai asked expressionlessly. Pei Song said, “I sent it for maintenance.”
Pei Huai threw the car keys to him.
The throw was very accurate. Pei Song casually raised his hand and caught it.
Pei Song got into the car and heard his third brother add, “leave the front passenger seat is empty.”
Pei Song laughed softly. “Don’t worry. Third Master Pei’s co-driver belongs to Su Ji. Everyone in the Pei family knows about it.” Su Ji’s ears were a little red.
Second Master Pei whistled as the car turned and left.
Seeing that he was in such a good mood, she knew that he must have gone on a date with his girl.
In the living room, Pei Qingshen came out of the inner room. The butler was beside him, holding something that looked like a picture frame in his hand.
She was wearing white gloves, and it was obvious that she was very important.
“Su Ji, Grandpa has a piece of music score here, but it’s not complete. There’s a
missing section in the middle. Can you help take a look?”
Su Ji looked over. The butler smiled and turned the frame in his hand over. Su Ji saw that it was not a painting, but an antique lute score.
The paper was already extremely yellow and would shatter at the slightest touch. It had been carefully fixed in the frame to preserve it, but there were still a few pieces missing in the middle. Just as the old man had said, it was incomplete.
“What kind of family heirloom that requires you to wait for your grandchildren to marry before you take it out?” Pei Huai got up jokingly and patted Su Ji on the shoulder. “You guys continue chatting. I’ll go to the study to answer the phone. ”
“Don’t spout nonsense.” Pei Qingshen glared at him. “I just suddenly remembered.’
Su Ji said “okay” and her gaze fell back on the frame.
The ancient scores were different from the modern ones, and the characteristics of each dynasty were also very distinct.
The score in front of him was a “Jianzi score” made up of Chinese characters and strokes. It did not directly indicate the sound, but a manual.
There were two reasons why Su Ji was interested in this score.
Firstly, the Chinese characters used in this score were not from any other dynasty, but the language of the Great Shang.
Secondly, the handwriting on it…looked familiar…
Su Ji had never heard of this song before, but she could tell that the composer wanted to use this song to ease the feelings of parting.
Su Ji’s expression gradually became meaningful.
“Can you think of a way to fill in the empty space above?” Pei Qingshen waited at the side for more than ten minutes and finally couldn’t help but ask.
Su Ji touched her chin. “The missing parts happen to be on the transition note. I can give a few suggestions according to music theory, but which one is the correct answer? I’m afraid only the composer himself knows.”
Pei Qingshen nodded calmly.
“In this case…that is indeed a pity.”
Su Ji also felt that it was a pity because from the complete melody in the front, although this song was used to express longing, it was not stammering. In other words, it was not pretentious at all. The first tone was gloomy, and the second tone was lonely. It flowed throughout the entire score, showing how deep the emotion was.
“Perhaps…” Su Ji seemed to have thought of something.
Pei Qingshen’s eyes lit up when he saw her change the topic. “Is there another way?
Pei Huai happened to finish his phone call and came out of the study.
Su Ji looked at him deeply. “Your grandson might be able to do it.”
“???” Pei Qingshen said, “Pei Huai even knows music scores? When did he learn
“Not really, but…” Su Ji’s gaze was deep and profound. “No matter how much time has passed, he should still have some impression of what he wrote.”
Pei Huai sat back down beside Su Ji under his grandfather’s surprised gaze.
Pei Qingshen took a while to react before he suddenly laughed out loud. “How could this score be written by him? This is the heirloom of our Pei family. It was written by our ancestors and passed down from generation to generation.”
Su Ji nodded calmly. “I see…”
In this way, she was even more certain who the score came from…
