It took a long time for Du Shiniang to get rid of the pain.
She put on her shoes and socks and said to Master Li in shame:
"Senior Sister, I disappoint you. It seems that my homework is really wasted."
Master Li shook his head and said:
"You are now pampered and no longer make a living from this. It would be a blessing for you to waste it."
Du Shiniang hugged Cao Bin's arm and said:
"Why don't Cao Yuan accompany me with a song for our senior sister? Our senior sister's singing voice is the most graceful and moving."
"If it can be matched with Cao Yan's piano skills, it will definitely be stunning."
Cao Bin looked at Master Li with questioning eyes, and she immediately nodded in agreement, with a little excitement in her eyes.
"Gently open your cherry lips and complain to your intestines, and the oriole's singing has a unique tone!"
Li Shishi is indeed worthy of being the first to perform in Tokyo. Just a random piece of music can lead people into the singing unconsciously.
However, Du Shiniang said with some regret: "It's a pity that there are no new songs. It sounds good, but it's a bit old."
Master Li also nodded and said, "It's hard to find a good song, especially a good one."
Cao Bin smiled and said: "What's so difficult about this? I don't have anything else here, but I have as many new songs as I want."
But his words were not exaggerated.
Since he obtained a "grandmaster-level proficiency in music", all the music from ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign, has been stored in his mind.
Hearing this, Du Shiniang immediately thought of something and said in surprise:
"A few days ago, Cao Lin seemed to have played a new piece of music."
Master Li nodded and said, "I've memorized that piece of music, but unfortunately I haven't been able to find the right words for it."
Cao Bin smiled and said: "I do have the words for that song, but it's not suitable for Miss Shishi to sing. I'll play a new song today."
As he said that, he played Butterfly Lovers under the expectant eyes of Du Shiniang and Li Shishi.
Although it is not an ancient song, it is more classic and more touching than ancient songs.
The lingering pathos in it can arouse the infatuation and resentment in anyone's heart.
The sound of music attracted Du and Li.
As the music gradually sublimated, they became tearful.
After playing it once, Cao Bin played it a second time, this time adding lyrics.
Speechless in front of me,
Share a glass of water with you,
There is a strong meaning in the clear,
The drunkenness in my heart flows out,
Regardless of injustice or fate,
Silently talk about butterfly dreams,
Give you this life,
This life and past lives,
Both of them fly through eternity and thousands of lifetimes
...
After Cao Bin finished singing, Master Li quietly wiped his tears and asked:
"Little Marquis, is this the story of Butterfly Lovers?"
The story of Butterfly Lovers has been circulating since the Northern and Southern Dynasties.
Cao Bin nodded and said, "How about this one?"
Du Shiniang nodded fiercely and said: "Great, I have never heard such touching music..."
Master Li looked at Cao Bin blankly and said:
"The young Marquis is extremely talented, but not known to the world."
"To be able to write such a piece of music, the sincerity of the young Marquis is enough to move the world."
Seeing their appearance, Cao Bin couldn't help but feel proud. He was about to brag a few more words when he suddenly heard a sharp shout above his head:
"What kind of thief dares to break into the Marquis's mansion and seek death!"
Then there was a sound of gold and iron coming from the air.
After being interrupted, Cao Bin suddenly lost his interest in bragging.
At the same time, the sedan ran out like a giant elephant galloping, closely guarding Cao Bin, and shouted like a tiger roaring in the forest:
"Brother Shi Qian, let the thieves in. I want to see who dares to act in front of me, Cao Jiaojiao."
At this time, countless lanterns and torches were lit in the Hou Mansion, and the servants on night watch had already taken their respective positions, sealing off the entire Hou Mansion.
Ever since the assassination by Bai Yutang, Uncle Fu had specially trained his family's servants.
Those healthy servants have been trained in military formations since they were young, so they already have a solid foundation.
Now that an assassin appears again, the entire Hou Mansion instantly becomes murderous and heavily guarded.
There was even a team of servants holding soft bows aimed at the beams of the house. Just waiting for an order, they would fire a volley of arrows to kill the assassin.
At this time, a voice sounded:
"Slow, slow, don't do anything. I'm here to seek refuge with Mr. Cao Xiaohou."
Shi Qian shouted: "Hand over the weapons..."
Seeing that there was no danger, Cao Bin nodded and said: "Let him come in."
At this time, Du Shiniang and Li Shishi had already hid behind the screen.
I saw a young man of medium height escorted by Shi Qian to Cao Bin.
There was a sack on his shoulder, like a treasure.
When the young man came to Cao Bin, he quickly clasped his fists and saluted:
"I heard that the young Marquis is called Xiao Mengchang. He is highly praised by his friends in the world. He is so talented that he came here to seek refuge with him!"
Cao Bin nodded, stretched out his hand and said:
"Sit down, strong man. I wonder who his last name is? Where do you come from?"
The young man smiled and said:
"Friends in the world gave Xiao Ke the nickname 'Flying Star Flower Butterfly'."
"As for ability? What I'm best at is flying and light kung fu."
Cao Bin was stunned when he heard his self-introduction. Why did this nickname sound so weird?
It's like some kind of indescribable profession.
Huadie continued: "In terms of Qinggong, I, Huadie, dare to say that I am unparalleled in the world."
Hearing this, Shi Qian immediately snorted coldly.
Hua Butterfly didn't take it seriously either, and said with a smile:
"I'm here to seek refuge, so I can't come empty-handed. I've brought a meeting gift for the young Marquis. The young Marquis will definitely like it."
As he spoke, he turned around and took out the sack beside him.
Then, he quickly untied the sack, revealing a stunningly beautiful woman.
The beauty's mouth was tightly blocked, and her eyes were full of fear and anger. As soon as she came out of the sack, she struggled hard.
Huadie didn't have any sympathy for her, she directly turned her palms into a knife and slashed hard on the back of her neck, knocking her unconscious.
Huadie turned around and smiled at Cao Bin: "Do you like this meeting gift, little Marquis?"
Seeing this scene, Cao Bin immediately understood, what kind of hero is this? He is clearly a flower picker.
Unexpectedly, my reputation as "Little Mengchang" would attract even such people.
Seeing that Cao Bin didn't react much and just looked at him curiously, Huadie quickly explained:
"I know there is no shortage of beautiful women around Mr. Marquis."
"But for a girl from a good family, the young prince rarely plays, right?"
"This woman is the proprietress of a wine shop, her name is Sai Xishi."
As he said that, he laughed:
"Little Marquis, do you think it has a different flavor?"
Cao Bin glanced at him with a smile and suddenly shouted: "Take it!"
As soon as the word "下" was spoken, the butterfly had already bounced out, and at the same time a handful of lime flew towards Cao Bin.
"What is Xiao Mengchang? He's just deceiving the world and stealing his reputation! Just wait, I will taste your female relatives one day."
The sedan chair was immediately furious, and with a swish of his clothes, a gust of wind was set off, which dispersed the lime.
At the same time, he shouted: "How dare you insult my young master? I will tear you alive!"
As he spoke, he took long strides to chase the butterfly.
It's just that the butterfly is extremely agile. With three or two jumps, it has already flown towards the ridge of the room.
Hua Butterfly laughed loudly while running: "A bunch of drunkards want to catch me, but wait until the next life."
At this moment, Shi Qian was seen flying up like a kite and shouted sharply:
"Little thief, just stay here!"
