Chapter 2015

The languid warm golden sun slowly falls down, mixed with the fresh smell of sea water and the faint fragrance of grass roots, lingering under the nose. The green all over the mountains is spread out in the corner of the field of vision. The vast sky and the vast ocean are spacious and unobstructed in the whole world, and the mood becomes open and clear. I can't help but close my eyes, Wandering in the light of warmth and geniality.

The breeze brings warm water vapor, which falls on the surface of the skin lightly. It is slightly hot but not irritating. It just makes the muscle tension and stiffness gradually ease down. A melodious and moving melody comes along with the wind, and clear musical symbols are scattered all over the ground.

That's... Chopin!

Who is playing Chopin?

Arthur hall can't help but stop. He looks a little surprised. He looks left and right, trying to find other potential sources of the melody. But in the end, he falls on the wooden villa in front of him. This is the only answer. He steps forward again, pushes the front door with doubts, and searches the room with curiosity, The steps follow the source of the melody.

Then, Arthur saw Randy and Edith.

Lan Li is wearing a simple white casual shirt with loose sleeves rolled up to his elbows. His messy hair and sloppy beard make him look a bit slovenly. Like a wandering artist, he sits barefoot in front of the piano, but he has no formality and embarrassment. The melody flows slowly under his slender fingers, It seems that nothing can affect his enjoyment of music.

It's always like this. It's always unexpected. It's always unexpected. It's always out of the ordinary. Arthur shouldn't be surprised, should he?

However, the situation was slightly different this time. Arthur heard that Langley was suffering from severe influenza and returned to Hawaii after his "Star Trek" Asian publicity trip. Then he fell ill and had a high fever. He could not even immediately get involved in the filming of "Jurassic world.", Asherton was aware of the seriousness of the problem - otherwise, how could Langley have delayed the production of the film? This also means that lanli really has no way to insist.

As usual, even if he was worried, Arthur would not act. The relationship between their families was not so close. The most important thing was to send a greeting through the housekeeper or the nanny. That was all. As for the illness, it was a problem that everyone had to face alone. Anyway, it was not a critical moment for life and death, Why should they panic - even if they are, there is no need for them to panic.

But now the situation has changed a little. Arthur, Langley and Andre are working in North America and become an important part of Sisyphus film. After all, the two brothers are different. After much hesitation, Arthur bought a ticket to Honolulu from Los Angeles.

Arriving at Honolulu International Airport, Arthur meets Edith, who flies over from London.

For this encounter, both of them were very surprised. They didn't expect each other's actions, but they both closed their mouths and didn't ask each other why they came to Honolulu. They just separated silently and drove their own rental car out of the airport, as if they had never met each other from the beginning to the end. But deep inside, they all knew that, Two people came for the same purpose, which undoubtedly means something.

Sure enough, now Arthur saw Edith in Langley - she seemed to arrive a little earlier than Arthur.

Arthur cast a puzzled and surprised look at Edith: what's the matter? Why is Langley playing Chopin when he is ill? Is there nothing wrong with Langley's health?

People didn't expect that when the whole world was crazy about lanli, and the whole world was marveling at lanli's miracle, lanli was pretending to be a literary youth? What's the matter with the piano playing? Did you overdo it?

So everyone said, there is a huge gap between fantasy and reality, do not bring the screen image into reality, otherwise you will soon disillusioned with your idol. Arthur agreed with this. Just look at the blue Li in front of you. Please, this is not a male god, but a madman, OK?

"Wake up Arthur really wants to shout to all don Quixotes: do you know that your object of worship is a lunatic from Wenqing to Zhonger? Please wake up!

And... Why did Edith pick up a violin and start tuning?

Arthur rolled a big white eye. He couldn't believe it.

But Edith didn't pay attention to Arthur's doubts at all. She adjusted the violin strings wholeheartedly. She not only ignored the scene full of confusion, but also didn't plan to ask why, and even prepared to join in.

Is this really good?

Then, Edith found a transitional passage and just joined in the performance. The melodious string music immediately enriched the piano music level. The harmony of interpretation and cooperation made the graceful and elegant melody of Chopin more mellow and moving. It seemed that we could see the skirt, step switching and posture rotation dancing on the dance floor, It disturbs the sunshine all over the ground, and becomes more flexible and charming when the seasons of midsummer and late autumn crisscross.

Arthur stood in the same place, the smile at the corner of his mouth showed some helplessness, but gradually understood.

After that, Arthur turned his head and looked around. The main house of the wooden villa was full of the flavor of artists. The hand-painted oil paintings on the walls, the hand-made ceramics on the tea table, the hand-made low tables in the corner, and so on. The details of the corners all showed the unique taste of the owner; The most eye-catching is undoubtedly the musical instruments in the right space.

In addition to the violin, guitar, bass and other common musical instruments, we can also see such a small number of large-scale instruments as the harp, as well as horn, saxophone, flute and so on. Different from the professional hobby of collecting guitar, we want to be a professional composer and arranger.

After a rough look for a moment, Arthur also made a decision, took the initiative to move forward, moved the heavy cello from the listed instruments, sat down in the side chair, and began to bend his head to tune.

Hereditary nobles have a tradition of learning musical instruments, not to learn skills, but to cultivate sentiment. At the same time, they can also polish the edges and corners of emotions and find a way to calm themselves in the melody, which is an indispensable part of noble education. The hall family is no exception.

ALF is the harp, Arthur is the cello, Edith is the violin, and Langley is the piano.

Once upon a time, in order to perform in front of the guests, the four brothers and sisters of the hall family also practiced ensemble, and gathered the strength of the four to present a wonderful classical music performance for the guests. Undoubtedly, this is the best way to show that the despondent nobles still follow the historical glory and class superiority.

Arthur still remembers those days when their four brothers and sisters were forced to practice their ensemble together. Alf was always serious and lenley always went his own way. He and Edith always sat by to eat melons and watch the fun. If they could match afternoon tea, it would be a play without script.

It was also at that time that he and Edith faintly noticed something wrong. It was obvious that ALF and Langley were fighting each other, but somehow they were both scolded. ALF seldom complained in front of George and Elizabeth, but always habitually mentioned him and Edith. Then Edith would push him out to block the gun - as a gentleman, He has no way to condemn Edith, and finally can only face the "punishment" without tears. George and Elizabeth will give him serious mental pressure, not scolding, but better than scolding.

He and Edith felt that something was wrong, but they couldn't tell why. Later, they realized that it was lanli who brought disaster to the East in silence.

But the problem is that they always can't find the crux of the problem. If they choose to fight back, the end result is often their own misfortune. What's depressing is that no one believes them even if they tell others that Langley is the devil.

Now looking back, it was a wonderful and happy time.

It's not that he missed those years when he was being framed, but that his young troubles were always so simple and pure. He practiced the Cello for less than 30 minutes, secretly changed the cook's whisky into wheat tea, deliberately corrected the music score of the tutor, and was worried about how to uncover the devil mask of Langley Depressed dinner, not able to eat the heart of the steak... Those trivial things occupy all of life, and then gradually grow up, they will gradually go away, troubles will become more and more complex and more heavy.

The first one to break the ensemble tradition is lanli. Of course, it's lanli, and it can only be lanli.

From one day on, Langley refused to play for any guests or practice ensemble. Even if he was locked in a small dark room, he could always find a way to escape.

This behavior completely angered George. He directly demolished Langley's study, but unexpectedly found a large number of professional performance books and videos. At that time, they knew that Langley had been exploring the world of performance for a long time in secret, which made George and Elizabeth angry, and thus opened a period of history of the Hall family.

In fact, Arthur was secretly happy at that time, because they finally stopped playing together. The practice day after day was a kind of torment. Obviously, cello was not his interest. Lan Li's rebellion made him escape from the prison successfully, which made him feel happy in his heart.

Today, more than ten years later, Langley and Edith are playing together again, arousing the memories hidden in their minds. Although they don't understand what it is for, Arthur still joins in, just like Edith.
