Chapter 1036: The Pei Familyâs 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 companyâs listing, butâ¦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 decisionsâ¦
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 couldnât be envious!
At the end of December, there were still three days before the press conference and twelve days before Pei Huai and Su Jiâs one-month anniversary.
It was the weekend, so Su Ji came to her husbandâs house for dinner.
Du Meilan liked to be together with her children.
However, her eldest son didnât listen to her very much. Even if he had a girlfriend, he didnât 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 Duâs 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.
âMadam Du is really biased.â Pei Xi and Pei Huai came downstairs. Pei Xi flipped her hair and complained to Pei Huai. âBill doesnât have such treatment.â
Pei Huai held the car keys in his hand and raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
Pei Xiâs lips twitched. âWhatâs the meaning of that expression?â
Pei Huai replied with four words, âthink about it.â
How is his brother-in-law and his wifeâ¦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.
âDamn brat, bring my sister-in-law over earlier!â
âI know.â Pei Huai twirled the car keys in his hand. He was about to go.
An hour later, Pei Huaiâs 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.
âSu Ji.â Pei Song smiled.
Su Ji got out of the car, closed the door, and raised her chin in response. âPerfect.â Pei Song looked at his third brother. âLend me the car.â
âWhereâs yours?â Pei Huai asked expressionlessly. Pei Song said, âI sent it for maintenance.â
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, âleave the front passenger seat is empty.â
Pei Song laughed softly. âDonât worry. Third Master Peiâs co-driver belongs to Su Ji. Everyone in the Pei family knows about it.â Su Jiâs 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.
âSu Ji, Grandpa has a piece of music score here, but itâs not complete. Thereâs a
missing section in the middle. Can you help take a look?â
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.
âWhat kind of family heirloom that requires you to wait for your grandchildren to marry before you take it out?â Pei Huai got up jokingly and patted Su Ji on the shoulder. âYou guys continue chatting. Iâll go to the study to answer the phone. â
âDonât spout nonsense.â Pei Qingshen glared at him. âI just suddenly remembered.â
Su Ji said âokayâ 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 âJianzi scoreâ 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 itâ¦looked familiarâ¦
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 Jiâs expression gradually became meaningful.
âCan you think of a way to fill in the empty space above?â Pei Qingshen waited at the side for more than ten minutes and finally couldnât help but ask.
Su Ji touched her chin. âThe 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? Iâm afraid only the composer himself knows.â
Pei Qingshen nodded calmly.
âIn this caseâ¦that is indeed a pity.â
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.
âPerhapsâ¦â Su Ji seemed to have thought of something.
Pei Qingshenâs eyes lit up when he saw her change the topic. âIs there another way?
Pei Huai happened to finish his phone call and came out of the study.
Su Ji looked at him deeply. âYour grandson might be able to do it.â
â???â Pei Qingshen said, âPei Huai even knows music scores? When did he learn
âNot really, butâ¦â Su Jiâs gaze was deep and profound. âNo matter how much time has passed, he should still have some impression of what he wrote.â
Pei Huai sat back down beside Su Ji under his grandfatherâs surprised gaze.
Pei Qingshen took a while to react before he suddenly laughed out loud. âHow 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.â
Su Ji nodded calmly. âI seeâ¦â
In this way, she was even more certain who the score came fromâ¦
