Time Travel: The Noble Family

Mingzhu was about to retort to Yueyao’s words when she heard Yueyao start to play a melody. The tune was cheerful, and although Mingzhu was very irritated, miraculously, she felt her anger subside as she listened to the music.

After Yueyao finished the melody, Mingzhu moved closer and asked cautiously, "If I seriously learn, how long will it take me to play like you?"

Yueyao had a foundation in music, so it took her less time. She was not familiar with Mingzhu’s specific circumstances, and after thinking, she said, "It depends on your talent and perseverance. If you just want to learn and casually produce a complete sound, at most half a month; if you want to play a complete and moving piece, without any foundation, it would take at least two to three years."

Mingzhu’s face fell somewhat. "Didn’t you say you learned it in just a few months? Why do I need three years?"

Yueyao patiently explained, "I had learned flute before, so it took only three to five months to play a complete melody. I am not familiar with your situation."

Mingzhu’s face fell.

After thinking a moment, Yueyao continued, "Persistence is necessary. If you start learning, you need to engage seriously. Don’t quit halfway. If you cannot persist, it’s better not to start at all. Learning half-heartedly is just a waste of time."

Mingzhu came down from the mountain without giving Yueyao a definite answer, still hesitating. To learn for two or three years, she didn’t know if she could persist.

In the afternoon, Yueyao went to the studio to paint, and Mingzhu seemed to have nothing to do. Here, unlike in the Marquis’ household, there were not many entertaining things to do.
