"Cuckoo!" The sound of a rooster crowing came from afar.
Usually, she wouldn't pay attention to the sound of the rooster crowing because it was still very early. It was almost the time of the morning. She usually got up at the time of the morning, or even the time of the morning, if there were no guests.
At this time, Young Master Zhou had already sat up on Lee Shishi's bed and started to put on his clothes. She woke up Li Shishi from her deep sleep and asked,""Mr. Zhou, why are you up so early?”
"Sigh, I've been busy with work for the past two to three months. I have to get up early to go to work. Ever since this treacherous minister Cai Jing took office, our days have not been good.”Young Master Zhou replied.
"Oh, then go back to work. Official business is the most important.”Although Li Shishi had never seen the situation in the imperial court, she knew that it was not good to delay work.
"You're so beautiful. I'll come again tonight. You don't have to wait for customers on the first floor!”Young Master Zhou said to Exemplary Lee.
"Oh, okay, Master Zhou. Then Shishi will wait for you in this Shuxiang room tonight. You must remember to come on time!”Exemplary Lee said to Young Master Zhou. Then, she turned around and went back to sleep.
After Young Master Zhou woke up, he went downstairs and gave Li Yun ten taels of silver.
However, Li Yun didn't go to Li Shishi's room immediately because she knew that Li Shishi must still be sleeping. After more than two hours, she went to Li Shishi's room and gave Li Shishi the three taels of silver she had received last night.
She had no customers recently, so she didn't have any money. She wanted to go shopping with Daiyu, but she didn't have the money. She had used up all the pills she had bought while Qin Guan was away.
"If Lord Zhou still comes tonight, I'll accompany him. If Lord Zhou doesn't come, I'll continue to refine Qi!”Li Shishi thought.
At noon, Li Shishi dressed up and waited for Young Master Zhou. However, Young Master Zhou still hadn't come after waiting for more than four hours.
It was already 10:00 pm, and the sky was already beginning to turn dark." Sigh, I wonder if Master Zhou will still come tonight.”Li Shishi planned to start refining her Qi, but she was afraid that Young Master Zhou would come again and do it with her. If that happened, she would be finished.
Finally, there was a knock on the door. Li Shishi went to open the door and saw that it was indeed Young Master Zhou.
"Master Zhou, why are you only here now? This little girl has been waiting for you for more than four hours.”Li Shishi said with a hint of reproach.
"Sigh, there are a lot of official documents waiting for me to deal with. I went to work early in the morning and worked until I left just now. Once I left, I rushed to Miss 'place. There are still many official documents that haven't been dealt with. Sigh, this damn Cai Jing, he made so many documents and made us very busy.”Young Master Zhou complained.
At this moment, Exemplary Lee had already brewed the tea. She asked,"Master Zhou, what can I do for you today?”
Young Master Zhou sat on a chair and sipped his tea as he said,""Don't be anxious. Sit here first and let me admire you.”
Exemplary Lee sat on the chair opposite Young Master Zhou, letting him admire her. Her face started to blush again.
Young Master Zhou admired it for a while and then asked,""Whose songs do you know how to play?”
"Su Zizhan, Liu Qiqing, Qin Shaoyou, Yan Tongshu, Yan Xiaoshan, I know a little.”Li Shishi replied.
"What about mine? My name is Zhou Bangyan." Young Master Zhou asked with a smile.
"Not really. I've heard of your name, but I didn't expect you to personally visit my house.”Li Shishi said shyly.
"Hehe, you're so beautiful. You might even be more famous than me in the future!”Young Master Zhou teased.
"Master Zhou, please don't humiliate Shishi. Shishi's background is humble. She's just a little singer in a brothel. She makes a living by serving guests from all over the world.”Li Shishi said humbly.
"I'll teach you how to sing my songs. You're quite good at music. I heard you sing Qin Shaoyou's songs yesterday and felt it very well. If you sing my songs, you'll feel even better.”Zhou Bangyan said.
"Okay, then you can teach me how to play and sing your songs!”Teacher Li replied.
"I'll teach you a song called Butterfly Loves Flowers first." Zhou Bangyan said. Then, he walked over and picked up the pipa that Exemplary Lee usually played.
" The moon is bright and the crow is restless. The leak will be broken, and the windlass will pull the golden well. His eyes were bright and clear. Tears fall on my pillow, red and cold.
the frosty wind blows the shadows on my temples. I'm so sad that I can't hear my parting words. Upstairs, the railing is horizontal and the bucket handle is horizontal. The cold man is far away and the chicken is corresponding.”
Zhou Bangyan played the pipa and sang the lyrics. This was a song that Zhou Bangyan had written himself," Butterfly in Love with Flowers."
He didn't expect Zhou Bangyan to be so proficient in music. He was very good at playing the pipa, and the sound produced by the strings was slightly more beautiful than that of Master Li.
"As expected of the famous Zhou Bangyan, Master Zhou. When I listen to you play the pipa, I really feel happy. It's as if I'm immersed in a warm bathtub and taking a bath to my heart's content!”As she was not well-educated and had not seen much of the world, she could only use bathing as an analogy.
"Hehe, you can learn it too. When I heard you play the pipa yesterday, I felt that there seemed to be a problem with your hooking and plucking fingers.”Zhou Bangyan began to demonstrate on the pipa strings.
Then, he handed the pipa to Li Shishi. Li Shishi followed Zhou Bangyan's demonstration and mastered it after playing it a few times.
Teacher Li continued to play the " Butterfly in Love with Flowers " that Zhou Bangyan had taught her earlier.
Zhou Bangyan listened to Master Li play the pipa happily and indulgently. After she finished playing, he praised her,"Yes, you're improving very quickly. You're really talented and intelligent. You're so beautiful.”
Li Shishi was very happy to hear that. After all, she was a famous poet in front of her. It was naturally a very happy thing to be praised by such a famous person.
"Let me teach you another song,'Fragrance in the Courtyard'. This is also one of my proudest works.”Zhou Bangyan continued.
Teacher Li handed the pipa back to Zhou Bangyan, who started playing and singing again."“
The wind blows old orioles and young birds, the rain is full of plums, and the trees are clear and round in the afternoon. The land is low and the mountains are close. It takes a lot of smoke to make clothes moist. The people are quiet and the kites are happy. Outside the small bridge, the new green is splashing. I've been on the fence for a long time, yellow reeds and bitter bamboos, ready to sail on Jiujiang.
Niannian. Like the swallows of the community, drifting across the vast sea, to build rafters. And don't think about yourself, always close to your majesty. I am haggard and tired in Jiangnan. I can't bear to listen to you. I'm in a hurry. Beside the singing feast, put down the mat pillow first, let me sleep when I'm drunk.”
"This poem is slow, and there are some tremors in some places. You must pay attention when you play it!”After Zhou Bangyan finished playing, he said to Li Shishi and handed the pipa back to her.
"Yes." Teacher Li took the pipa and played it again according to what Zhou Bangyan had just handed in.
It was almost 10:00. Zhou Bangyan remembered that he had to get up early for work tomorrow, so he said to Li Shishi,"I still have to get up early for work tomorrow. Let's do it now!”
"How about a few days later, Mr. Zhou? I just got that today.”Li Shishi replied.
"Oh, okay. Since you're here, you can't force yourself. Then you have to sleep too. You have to wake up early tomorrow.”Zhou Bangyan said to Teacher Li.
The two of them took off their clothes and went to bed. Li Shishi blew out the oil lamp.
