The Female Assistant of Wei Yuyan Shuangfei

In the orchid garden, there were waves of slightly chaotic yet orderly piano sounds, forming a unique rhythm that was like the sound of nature, touching and moving.

Li Shixian closed her eyes slightly and shook her head to feel the ups and downs of the piano music. From the initial drunkenness to the later infatuation, she could not help but admire it.

"Okay!~"

Li Shixian laughed loudly and casually threw out a five-cent silver ingot. The silver ingot drew a perfect arc in the air and landed steadily on the piano table.

Seeing Li Shixian's generous gift, Cui'er, the maidservant beside him, was a little surprised and said, "This gift is much better than that of Master Ningzhi."

Thinking of this, the maid glanced at Xie Shuting with a strange look, and muttered to herself: "He is also called Ningzhi, but it seems that they are not the same person!"

“Swish!~”

The piano music ended abruptly.

Xiyi stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you very much for the reward, sir. Would you like to listen to one more song?"

"Yeah!~"

Li Shixian nodded, waved her folding fan and said, "No need for music, I wonder what else Miss Xiyi can sing?"

Li Shixian's question was quite insightful, which made Xiyi at a loss for words. Should she tell the other party about their sexual pleasures?

But obviously not, because the two people opposite were not here for this at all.

From the moment she entered Orchid Garden and took one look at the two of them, she knew whether they were here for pleasure or for some other purpose.

Obviously, these two people are the latter.

Facing Li Shixian's question, Xiyi pondered for a moment, stroked her hand and said, "I have dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea. I wonder..."

"Okay, what a great art of music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea. How about Miss Xiyi show us the art of tea?"

"Then I'm sorry to bother you two gentlemen."

Xiyi bowed as she spoke, and apologized slightly, "I will go change my clothes first, please wait for me, gentlemen."

She winked at Cui'er beside her, and the latter understood and came to the tea table and started pouring water and grinding tea.

Li Shixian nodded and did not stop them, and then began to whisper with Xie Shuting. Because the two were too far apart, Cui'er could not hear a word.

When the water in the pot was boiling, Xiyi came out from behind the screen in a green dress. She bowed to the two of them and quickly sat down in front of the tea table.

"Brother Ningzhi! Please."

"Please!~" Li Shixian stroked his hand and said.

The two of them sat in front of the tea table, one in front of the other, watching Xiyi's smooth operation, and nodded with satisfaction in their hearts.

Compared with the upper class, the tea ceremony of the Song Dynasty was mainly based on matcha, while peddlers and hawkers drank brewed tea.

As the top girl in the brothel, Xiyi demonstrated the more advanced skills of matcha, the tea art.

Tea Opera is also known as Tea Division, Water Painting, Soup Opera, Tea Opera, etc.

It is a technique that uses tea and water as raw materials, and through specific techniques such as pouring and whisking the tea, creates various patterns and texts on the surface of the tea soup.

Some of these patterns resemble landscapes, some resemble flowers and birds, and some resemble calligraphy. They are ever-changing and amazing.

It is mostly loved by literati and scholars.

Looking at the scene on the tea tray, Xie Shuting couldn't help but frown, because the scene shown by the tea show was exactly the scene of the four of them at the moment.

Although the figures are vaguely outlined, the layout of the room and the positions of the four people are clearly visible.

The only difference was that the four people in the painting were all dressed as women, which surprised Xie Shuting.

Xiyi naturally noticed Xie Shuting's change, and with a smile, she served the brewed tea to the two of them, saying softly, "Please enjoy your meal, gentlemen."

"Is it a young master or a young lady? Why do you ask Miss Xiyi when you already know the answer?"

Li Shixian picked up the teacup and smelled the tea while chatting and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Not bad! The painting is beautiful and the tea is fragrant."

He took a sip from the teacup, closed his eyes and savored it carefully, then looked at Xiyi and said with a smile: "This tea is not bad, but it is still a little inferior to the young lady's piano playing. I wonder if the young lady has any other talents?"

Xiyi smiled slightly and replied, "Sir, you are too kind. In addition to playing the zither and making tea, I am also a little bit proficient in dancing."

"Oh?~"

Li Shixian asked with great interest: "Can you dance for us?"

Xiyi did not respond, but looked at Xie Shuting who had remained silent, and smiled softly, "Every time it is the young master who makes the request, but this young master has never mentioned it. I wonder what Young Master Ningzhi wants to see?"

"Me?~"

Xie Shuting was stunned for a moment, then she pondered for a moment and said aloud: "From the tea show just now, we can see that Miss Xiyi is also quite accomplished in painting."

"I dare not, it's just a little trail." Xiyi apologized with a smile.

"Since Miss Xiyi just mentioned 'qin, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, wine and tea', it is said that qin can nourish the nature, tea can nourish the spirit, and calligraphy can nourish the heart. I think Miss Xiyi is also quite talented in calligraphy."

"calligraphy?"

Xiyi looked a little strange, and in her surprise, she calmed down and said, "I have been in the brothel for decades. I have heard poetry, and I have also tasted tea, wine, music, and painting, but I have never heard of calligraphy."

"You heard it today."

Li Shixian smiled and waved her folding fan, looking at the maid behind her and said, "Clean up the piano table and make room for your master."

Cui Er didn't dare to move after hearing this, but cast a look at Xi Yi. Seeing her young lady nod in agreement, she quickly tidied up the table and placed the four treasures of the study on it.

The two of them followed Xiyi's steps and went to the desk, wanting to see what achievements she had made in calligraphy.

I saw Xiyi spreading out paper and grinding ink, picking up the brush and concentrating. As the brush moved, a short poem emerged as she splashed ink.

Xie Shuting looked at the ink that had not yet dried, and secretly exclaimed in her heart: "Although she is a woman, her brushwork is quite skillful. But I seem to have seen this word somewhere before?"

Just as Xie Shuting was lost in thought, Li Shixian walked slowly forward, looked at the small poem emerging on the rice paper, and couldn't help laughing.

"After removing her powder and applying oil, she changed her hairpins and put on a crown, and it was not difficult to tell the male from the female. With jade teeth and red lips, she tied her hair up with willow branches and covered her face with shame. She was not as heroic as Mulan, and was afraid of being ashamed to be with Yingtai. It's a pity that the beautiful scenery in front of her added to the resentment, and she saw Su'e wearing a green shirt."

As soon as Li Shixian finished speaking, Wen Xiyi looked at Xie Shuting with a twinkling eyebrow and said, "I wonder what is your relationship with Xie Ningzhi?"

"Oh!~"

Li Shixian fiddled with the folding fan in his hand and asked with a playful smile: "What is your relationship with Xie Ningzhi?"

Xie Shuting did not respond, but continued to look at the poem on the desk. After some thought, she seemed to know the origin of the person in front of her.

The calligraphy style is the same as that of Li Yunting, a famous prostitute in a previous life, except that it now looks a bit artificial.

In her previous life, she had heard of Li Yunting's name, because her handwriting attracted many scholars. She was also lucky enough to get the manuscript, and she was amazed at it at the time.
