"Guest?" No wonder she stopped at the door of the private room next door just now, presumably to temporarily arrange the guest there.
"What guest?" Zhao asked casually. He knew that although Ming Zhaoxia was lively by nature, sometimes she seemed to do things that were out of the ordinary, but she was actually very measured and would never do anything truly out of the ordinary.
"Please be patient and calm, officials." Ming Zhaoxia walked slowly to the door, then opened the door suddenly, and saw a woman standing at the door, wearing a milky white dress and skirt, with a light touch of makeup, but she had crow's hair on her temples.
The emerald green, the phoenix and the maiden are green, the autumn water is the divine jade and the bones, the hibiscus is like the face and the willows are like the eyebrows.
She also has a graceful and elegant look, a cool temperament that is completely beyond her appearance. Coupled with her slightly sad expression, it is so charming that it makes people have the urge to protect her.
Zhao Si looked up and down.
He had many people to protect, so he didn't care about this one. He turned to look at Ming Zhaoxia and asked, "Is this beauty your guest?"
"Yes, she is my concubine's good sister, the famous master Li Shishi who lives in Qianqian Lane."
Good guy, Master Li and my concubine have actually become good sisters.
Oh, Li Shishi is not an official prostitute, she is a free woman. She used her erotic arts to please the rich and powerful. Nowadays, it is not shameful, but she is highly sought after. According to later generations, she is a socialite, and she is a trend-setter.
A socialite blessed by top traffic in the fashion, literary and art circles.
"So you are Master Li? It's better to meet him if you are famous. Please sit down, please sit down quickly." Zhao said calmly and generously.
"I am here to pay my respects to the official."
Zhao Shi's unusual attitude made Li Shishi a little confused.
She had met all nobles, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen before. They were either arrogant or lustful; they were either pretending to be aloof or vulgar. There were a few who were fresh and refined, and they behaved inappropriately when they met her, as if they were souls.
Floated away.
Only when this official saw him, he felt as if he were seeing an ordinary woman on the street. His stunning appearance should have attracted his attention, and he looked him up and down. But his eyes were very clear and clear at all.
The lustful look is like appreciating a famous painting and then moving away after reading it.
"Presumably Master Li is also the backbone of your Women's Self-Strength Association."
"The official's guess was accurate. Li Shishi was warmly invited by my concubine and became the permanent director of the Women's Self-Strength Association."
The officials couldn't help but smile, their own Concubine Ming was really quite clever. When she invited Li Shishi to join the Women's Self-Strength Association as a permanent director, and when she raised funds for the Self-Strength Association, many wealthy businessmen must have been crying and vying to be the top brother on the list.
.
"Mrs. Li is a member of the Women's Self-Strengthening Association, and she is willing to work hard and work hard for women's rights. She is so kind." Zhao Si praised.
Li Shishi quickly replied: "The official Miao praised it, but the civilian women only did their meager efforts."
"Don't neglect a good deed because it's small. When you do good deeds, you don't see how much money you spent or how much you contributed. You only see how sincere your heart is."
Li Shishi lowered her head, feeling that she had completely lost her composure today. In the past, with any man, including the extremely noble His Highness King Cai (Zhao Ji), she had firmly held the initiative.
But today, I feel like a cow being led by the nose, following others.
Ming Zhaoxia saw the clues, smiled softly with Li Qingzhao, and said: "Sister Sister, didn't you say you have finished practicing the lyrics and music of the song? Now that the original author is in front of you, why not sing a song and ask him to comment?
.”
Master Li stood up and bowed in salute, "I've been disrespectful. I'm afraid I might offend the saints. Please forgive me."
She took a pipa from the door, sat aside, tried the sound first, and then started playing it with a tinkling sound. The sound was as sweet as jade beads falling on a silver plate.
As soon as the prelude was over, Li Shishi's red lips opened slightly, and the singing began.
"You live at the head of the Yangtze River, and I live at the end of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day without seeing you, and drink the water of the Yangtze River together..."
Like an oriole singing softly, like a nightingale whirling mournfully.
Zhao turned his head abruptly and looked at Ming Zhaoxia.
The original author of this poem was Li Zhiyi, who was known as Su Dongpo's "number one lackey". After he came to the throne, he lived a very happy life with Su Gong.
After the death of Da Su Gong, he was promoted to the right secretary of the College of Liberal Arts of Sungkyun University and the editor-in-chief of the Dongpo Library of Hongwen Academy, specifically responsible for sorting out the writings left by Da Su Gong.
Moreover, he was also a disciple of former Secretary Fan Chunren and Duke Fan Zhong... so he was not demoted to Taiping Prefecture; if he had not been demoted to Taiping Prefecture, his wife and children would not have died of illness due to the fatigue of the journey, and he would not have met Yang Shu. All of this is
It won't happen. How could Li Zhiyi write "Businessman. I Live at the Head of the Yangtze River"?
We cannot let the splendid poetry culture of the Song Dynasty have any shortcomings. I happened to remember this poem, so when I went up the Yangtze River, I wrote it down. Yes, there is no doubt that Yang Shen's "Linjiang Fairy. Rolling Yangtze River"
"East Passing Water", I also "sent out my feelings" and wrote it down smoothly.
Alas, in order to ensure that future generations will not have any regrets and that Chinese culture will not be missing, I am really worried.
The lyrics I wrote were circulated in a small area. Even if I couldn't hide them and were published in newspapers and magazines, I would still use a pen name and wear a vest, which made the scholars of the Song Dynasty a sensation. When did another poetry genius appear in our country?
Alas! I can’t help it, I’ve always been so low-key.
It happened that the words she had just written were relayed to her best friend by Ming Zhaoxia before the ink was dry. This girl is not tight-lipped at all!
After the song ended, everyone could not get away from the lingering singing for a long time.
"Singing so well!"
"No, it was Guan Jia who wrote this poem well."
"We don't need to praise each other here. My lyrics are very good, and Mrs. Li sings even better." Zhao Si made the final decision.
Ming Zhaoxia couldn't help laughing, and even Li Qingzhao couldn't help covering his mouth with his sleeves and chuckled. Li Shishi looked at Zhao Si, his eyes flashing with a complicated expression.
After laughing, Ming Zhaoxia whispered in Zhao Si's ear: "Master Li is proficient in music, calligraphy and painting, and is famous far and wide. As I know, she likes sad and desolate poems the most, especially singing sad and lingering songs. This song "Bu Suanzi. I"
"Living at the Head of the Yangtze River" and the last episode of "Touching Fish. Yanqiu Ci", I can't put it down, and I can't bear to not sing it for a day. I really love it."
She likes sad and desolate poems and sings sad and lingering songs? It should be related to her miserable childhood.
"Guanjia, what do you think of Shishi's singing?" Ming Zhaoxia asked.
"It's very good, and the emotion of the lyrics is vividly sung."
"Nothing else?"
"No more. I can only listen to singing songs, but I can't comment on them. I only know that if they sound good, they sound good, and if they don't sound good, they don't sound good."
Zhao Si's straightforward answer stunned Li Shishi, who was sitting opposite.
I used to sing songs to other people, and when the song ended, the people listening to the music were filled with praise and words of praise. They wished they had a Cihai dictionary with them and picked out the most beautiful words to describe it, regardless of whether the description was appropriate.
Inappropriate.
Only no one is as straightforward as Zhao Si, "I can only listen to singing songs, but I can't comment on them. I only know that if it sounds good, it sounds good, and if it sounds bad, it doesn't sound good."
It's just that his words are much more powerful than other men's thousands of words and gorgeous comments and praises, and they go straight to the heart.
"Master, don't you have one more song that you want to ask the officials for advice?" Ming Zhaoxia urged from the side.
Li Shishi quickly broke away from his random thoughts and said: "Guan family, I have sung the song "Linjiang Immortal" many times, but I still don't get it. I would like to ask the official family for some advice."
""Linjiang Fairy. The Rolling Yangtze River Passes East"? This song is so heroic that it requires the use of Kansai drums and Hebei iron plates to bring out the momentum. And your voice is too clear, beautiful and soft to sing this majestic meaning.
"
"Guan Jia, you are the original author, why don't you sing a song so that we can know how this song should be sung in Guan Jia's mind?"
Ming Zhaoxia encouraged from the side. Li Qingzhao also opened his big eyes, full of encouragement.
"Okay, I'll sing a song." Zhao Si stood up and thought about it for a while.
I am Yang Hongji, and now I am Yang Hongji of the Song Dynasty.
"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward..."
Zhao Si's voice is not as deep and strong as Yang Hongji's, but it is high-pitched and powerful enough. In addition, he once led hundreds of thousands of troops to fight in the north and south, and was invincible. The kind of artistic conception in his heart came naturally, and he actually sang this song to gold.
A strong iron horse can swallow thousands of miles; a powerful spirit can fill your heart, a majestic and healthy spirit.
Li Shishi's eyes were full of light and his eyes were dancing.
"Guan Jia's singing is really good. Master, you are a great singer. Please give me some comments." Ming Zhaoxia said.
Before Master Li could speak, the door of the house rang, and someone knocked on the door outside.
"Come in!" Zhao Si said.
The door opened and Liang Shicheng stood at the door. He was about to come in and salute when he saw that in addition to the official, the imperial concubine, the concubine De, and a woman, he quickly stopped in his tracks.
Zhao Shi cast his doubtful gaze over, and Liang Shicheng quietly made a gesture.
There's something important.
Zhao Si turned to Ming Zhaoxia and Li Qingzhao and said: "My two ladies, I have to leave beforehand. You stay to accompany the guests and return to the palace as soon as possible."
Then he nodded to Master Li: "Ms. Li, I have something to do. I will be here today. See you later."
After that, he left without looking back.
Looking at Zhao Si's back, Li Shishi had a lot of thoughts. People say that officials have weird temperaments, but I didn't expect that when I saw him today, it was indeed weird, so weird that it made people...
She was startled, turned around and found Ming Zhaoxia and Li Qingzhao staring at her blankly. Her face turned red involuntarily. This chapter has been completed!
