The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

In the Lanyuan wing of Huanqing Building, Li Shixian was drinking and chatting happily, tapping the folding fan in his hand from time to time, showing his carefree and unrestrained attitude.

Although Xie Shuting was wearing a men's blue robe, her embarrassed appearance was completely different from Li Shixian, and the former's heroic figure was surprising.

"Good! What a great song "Spring Rain in Jiangnan". I wonder if this girl can sing another one."

As Li Shixian spoke, he casually threw another small ingot worth five cents of silver, which landed steadily on the piano table.

Upon hearing this, the woman immediately stood up and saluted, saying, "Thank you very much for the reward, sir. What do you want to hear?"

"Yeah!~"

Li Shixian pondered for a moment, then looked at Xie Shuting and said, "Brother Ningzhi! Do you have any favorite songs?"

Xie Shuting suddenly came to her senses and realized that the "Brother Ningzhi" Li Shixian was talking about was herself, and a hint of resentment instantly appeared on her face.

Li Shixian seemed not to notice and continued to look at her jokingly with a smile on her face.

Unable to escape from the situation, Xie Shuting raised her eyes slightly and said, "Since it is the Red Mansion, the elegant music is not appropriate. Then I'll trouble this girl to play a song of "Spring Tide Rising."

"I obey your orders."

The girl bowed and then sat down again.

Immediately! The girl took hold of the strings and heard the sound of the zither.

In the orchid garden, for a moment, there was only a spring tide of vitality, accompanied by the sliding of the girl's fingertips. The mystery of this song even surprised Li Shixian.

It is hard to wake up from a sweet dream.

Invite the moon, hold the cup and watch the rising tide.

Ten fingers clapping the piano without noticing the sound,

The sound of the strings lingers in my heart.

After a while, the song ended.

Then Li Shixian was the first to applaud, clapping and cheering, "Not bad! I didn't expect that in this Red Mansion, there is such a master of piano skills as you, you really make me admire you."

Upon hearing this, the girl quickly stood up and returned the greeting, saying, "Your words, 'I don't feel the sound of the zither with my fingers, but the movement of the strings lingers in my heart', also made me feel your talent."

As the two were discussing, Xie Shuting, who was immersed in the conversation, suddenly came to her senses. She blushed and gave Li Shixian a look, as if to say, "See what you can do."

Seeing Xie Shuting's expression, Li Shixian's ears moved, and he smiled evilly and said, "I didn't expect that Brother Ningzhi had reached a state of selflessness just listening to the piano. I admire him."

As soon as Li Shixian finished speaking, Xiyi's hand, which was about to push the door open, paused. She withdrew her hand in a daze, and the people in the room did not even notice.

Xie Shuting did not realize what Li Shixian meant by that. She just smiled softly and said, "I only know a little bit. However, your piano skills are indeed profound, and I admire you."

Hearing this, the young girl nodded with a smile on her face and said, "Thank you both gentlemen for your kindness. If we talk about the art of playing the zither, it must be Sister Xiyi, the courtesan of Huanqing Tower. If it is..."

Before the girl finished her words, she heard the door creak open, and a pretty figure in a peony-colored green dress stood at the door.

There was another maid standing behind the visitor with her arms around a guqin.

When the girl saw the person coming, she stepped forward with a smile on her face and said, "Sister Xiyi, it's true that if you mention the devil, he will appear. Please come in."

Xiyi nodded slightly, first bowed to Li Shixian, then looked at Xie Shuting with a strange expression before coming to the piano table.

"Sister Xiyi! I haven't seen you receiving guests for a while, Mammy..."

The girl was still chattering away, and Xiyi sat down in front of the piano table and said with a smile: "Sister Taohong! If you have nothing to do, you can go down."

The girl was obviously stunned when she heard this. She had never seen Xiyi so unkind and such abnormal behavior made her feel a little uncomfortable in an instant.

"Xiyi..."

The girl wanted to speak again, but just as the words came to her lips, she heard Xiyi's cold voice: "Sister Taohong! You and I are both trying to make a living in the dust. You talk too much, and what you say is inappropriate."

Xiyi directly pointed out the girl's little thoughts. What does it mean that she hasn't received any customers for a while? This sentence has a deeper meaning in the eyes of the benefactor.

As a prostitute, she had no freedom at all. Even if she was about to have sex, she was forced to go upstairs. She would only be forced to stop working if she was unwell.

The girl's seemingly unintentional words caused her patron to overthink things and ended her livelihood.

The girl had some hatred in her heart, but she still smiled without showing it: "Sister Xiyi! There are two nobles here, I'm afraid you can't entertain them alone! How about..."

"They are not your guests, you can leave." Xiyi said calmly while plucking the strings of the zither.

The girl stamped her feet upon hearing this, pretending to be weak and walked towards Li Shixian, crying with tears in her eyes, "Sir! Do you want me to serve you?"

Hearing this, Li Shixian smiled and lifted the girl's chin with his fan, waved his hand and took out a silver ingot and said, "This Xiyi girl is right, this young master is her type today."

Having said that, the girl didn't pretend to be so. She took the silver ingot from Li Shixian's hand, bowed with a smile and said, "Sir, please give me some when you come next time."

"Of course, of course." Li Shixian nodded repeatedly.

After watching the girl leave, Li Shixian turned to look at Xie Shuting and said, "Brother Ningzhi! How about ordering another song?"

“Swish!~”

Unexpectedly! Xiyi heard the word "Ningzhi" again, and her fingers subconsciously plucked the strings of the zither, and the chaotic sound of the zither attracted the attention of the two people.

Li Shixian smiled and said as if he had not heard anything: "Miss Xiyi! Since you are the most beautiful woman, I think you should be a good zither player. I wonder if you can take over the music that my brother is singing?"

"I am not talented, and I am just a musician. If the conversation is not going well, please forgive me, gentlemen."

"That's not true. Anyone who can win the title of Oiran must have some skills."

As Li Shixian spoke, he turned the folding fan in his hand and said with a devilish smile: "Brother Ningzhi! What are you still thinking about? It's just a song."

Xie Shuting rolled her eyes at Li Shixian helplessly, and after a moment of contemplation, she suddenly had an idea, and stroked the cup and hummed softly, "The horn string that the girl plucked just now, the so-called horn string is in tune, the wine is not real."

Li Shixian unfolded her folding fan and chuckled, "Miss Xiyi, please!"

Xiyi instantly understood that the piece Li Shixian had chosen was "Drunkard", a relatively special piece of guqin art.

The techniques of playing the guqin are different for different people, and each person's understanding is different due to their different comprehension. Especially for the piece "Jiu Kuang", it is extremely difficult.

Li Shixian and Xie Shuting did not urge them. They just sat aside quietly drinking and waiting.

Fortunately, Xie Shuting also likes wine, so she and Li Shixian clinked glasses and drank several cups of wine. Although Xie Shuting's face flushed, she was not drunk at all.

“Swish!~”

In an instant! A melodious and graceful string sound suddenly sounded.

The sound of the piano is like a stream of clear water flowing by, making people feel relaxed and happy. It is also like the state of madness caused by alcohol, showing the savagery.
