Chapter 3 My tryst with the courtesan was exposed by Ci Hong(2/2)
Tonight, he witnessed that Mr. Li was the current Zhao official’s favorite. He, an old man like him, really didn’t dare to have any evil thoughts of “getting involved”!
At this time, Zhou Bangyan endured the numbness in his limbs and slowly stood up.
Master Li apologized: "Student, I really didn't know that Zhao Yan would come unexpectedly tonight. Thank you, Mr. Zhou!"
The reason why she calls herself a "student" is because many of the famous songs that Li Shishi played and sang were composed by Zhou Bangyan. Therefore, Li Shishi has always respected Zhou Bangyan as a teacher.
Zhou Bangyan once said to Li Shishi: Even if he can write good lyrics, if he doesn't have a lark-like voice like Li Shishi to sing, then his lyrics will lose a lot of color. He called Li Shishi "the best friend of lyrics and music".
But this time, after Master Li heard that Zhao Yan was ill and could not visit tonight, he did not refuse Zhou Bangyan's request and let him enter the boudoir to ask for a new song and song.
First of all, Li Shishi loves lyrics, music, and literature, and it is her dream to get good lyrics.
Secondly, now Master Li is only making money for Fanlou by performing his art without selling himself.
Nowadays, in any brothel in the capital, if anyone can get a new song by Zhou Bangyan and have it played and sung by the top girl, it will attract many literati and flirts to come and listen to it while drinking wine, and the business will be extremely booming.
Nowadays, singers are worth twice as much because they can sing Zhou Ci.
Every once in a while, Li Shishi would ask Zhou Bangyan to fill in new words. This was also a task forced by Mrs. Li, the old madam of Fanlou, to Li Shishi.
"Alas!" Li Shishi sighed: "Tonight, I thought Master Zhou could give the students a new poem, but Zhao Ling suddenly arrived in the middle, disturbing Master Zhou's literary thoughts. The night is already deep, sorry for the students, I can't send them far away.
Mr. Zhou!"
"Huh?" When Zhou Bangyan heard Master Li's tactful eviction order, a look of anger appeared on his old face.
Zhou Bangyan felt that Li Shishi treated Zhao Guan's family like "it's already been three o'clock in the city, who is the gentleman going to spend the night with? It's better to leave because the horse is slippery", but he politely kicked him out. This made his
My self-esteem was severely hit.
The arrogant and arrogant temperament of the Song Dynasty literati broke out, and Zhou Bangyan felt that he was embarrassed and was thrown into his grandma's house in front of the person he liked.
"Huh!" Zhou Bangyan said displeasedly: "Master, do you think I am too old to write good words anymore?"
"Students don't dare!" Master Li said cautiously.
"Stop talking what you mean!" Zhou Bangyan said: "Master, bring me a pen, ink, paper and inkstone. I can now compose a good poem that will be passed down through the ages."
Teacher Li said happily: "Students obey."
Master Li helped grind and lay out the rice paper.
Zhou Bangyan dipped the wolf hair into the ink and wrote on the rice paper:
"Youth Travel" three words.
Li Shishi took a look and saw that this was the title of a new work written by Zhou Bangyan. She knew that the sages Yan Shu and Su Shi had also written lyrics using "Youth Travel" as the title.
She doesn’t know what kind of amazing new words Mr. Zhou will come up with tonight?
I saw that after Zhou Bangyan thought about it for a while, he wrote:
"With swords like water, Wu Yan beats snow, and his delicate hands break new oranges.
The brocades are beginning to warm up, and the smoke from the beasts is constantly rising. They sit opposite each other and tune the sheng.
I asked in a low voice: Who am I going to spend the night with? The city has already been updated three times.
The horses are slippery and the frost is thick, so it’s better to leave because there are only a few people traveling.”
Zhou Bangyan finished writing the lyrics and the inscription, but did not use the seal.
At this time, he felt that the jealousy in his heart was getting stronger, and he secretly lamented that the lover in the poem was not him, but Zhao Guan's family! I fight but dare not fight, it really makes me angry!
"Alas!" He sighed and said, "Master, I'm leaving."
After Zhou Bangyan left, Li Shishi looked at the song "Youth Travel" with the ink still wet on the rice paper, and was stunned...
Bingxue is smart, and she has already figured out that this song "Youth Travel" is about what happened to her, Li Shishi, and Zhao Ling!
"The horse is slippery and frosty, it's better to leave" were the exact words that Master Li said when she persuaded Zhao Liang to stay on the road at night!
Li Shishi shuddered. She had foreseen that Zhou Bangyan's lyrics for "Youth Travel" were so accomplished that they would be passed down through the ages!
However, if this poem that tarnishes Zhao Yun's reputation spreads, it will definitely have a negative impact on Zhao Yun.
She is going to destroy the song "Youth Travel: Swords Like Water",
However, at this moment,
The maid Cui'er led the madam Li's mother and pushed the door open.
Mother Li said happily: "My teacher is really capable!
Unexpectedly, just after sending away the wealthy businessman Zhao Daguan, Mr. Zhou left behind a masterpiece of calligraphy.
Let mom take a look! If it’s well written, all the girls in our family who can sing can learn from it.”
"No!" Li Shishi said as he rolled up the rice paper with the poem "Youth Traveling, Knife Like Water" written on it.
But, it's too late...
