Chapter Thirty-Eight: Cao Mengde's Falling Flowers Are Intentional, Master Li's Water is Ruthless

After listening to Cao Cao's story, Master Li did not speak, but turned away, wiped away his tears, and then turned his head and said with a smile: "Gongzi is really an expert in storytelling, and the woman in the story is indeed quite pitiful. ”

"Hey, this man is too much of a thing, such a good woman, how can I not know how to pity." Yue Fei said angrily, obviously he didn't understand the story.

Cao Cao and Master Li looked at each other and smiled, but they didn't break it.

Master Li sighed, frowning slightly: "It's rare to have a fate, but it's hard to find a true person." The world is impermanent, the time is fleeting, even if the elegance is peerless, it is just a footnote to the times. ”

"People like to hear stories, and no one cares how the main character of the story is doing. Maybe the surface is shiny, then it's called happiness. ”

Cao Cao saw that Master Li was not in a high mood, and explained: "Everyone has their own ambitions, some people feel that this is very happy, but some people think that this is a tragedy. ”

"The key to living a life depends on what you want."

"If she pursues glory and wealth and is famous all over the world, she will naturally be happy; If she pursues love, then she is pitiful. ”

"It's a pity that people change their original intentions over time, and there are few people who work tirelessly for a goal."

Master Li smiled and raised the teacup: "It's really good, Shishi respects Gongzi for a cup of tea, thank you for your story, I like it very much." ”

After Cao Cao finished drinking tea, Master Li asked expectantly, "I don't know if Gongzi can play the piano?" ”

"I know a little bit about it." Cao Cao replied modestly.

"Oh? Childe might as well play a song to see if the teacher can hear the deep meaning. Master Li looked at Cao Cao's short hand, and became interested, and was very skeptical about what kind of music could be played by this kind of stubby finger.

Cao Cao couldn't shirk it, so he had to come to the piano.

Yue Fei leaned over and asked worriedly, "Big brother, are you okay?" She is a famous character in Beijing. Guan Gong played a big knife in front of him, but don't lose his ugliness. ”

Yue Fei and Cao Cao didn't get along for a long time, and he had never seen Cao Cao play the piano. But he has observed Cao Cao's hands, which are indeed incompatible with art, they are black and short, and it is impossible to cover the surface of the piano, how to play?

Cao Cao didn't speak, looked at the guqin under his hand carefully, was extremely surprised, and then praised: "This piano is lacquered like snake scales, and it is absolutely extraordinary." ”

Master Li pursed his lips and smiled, explaining: "Childe has good eyesight, this piano is called the snake belly qin, and it is a guqin. ”

"Due to the long time, the lacquer on the body of the piano has become yellow-black, and there is a pattern like the horizontal scales under the snake's belly, so it is called the snake's belly qin."

"I see." Cao Cao knew that this piano was not small, so he didn't ask any more.

Cao Cao looked at Master Li, thought for a moment, and played the song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix".

When the song sounded, Master Li first pursed his lips and smiled, and as the song progressed, he gradually became surprised.

The traditional "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" mainly describes the love story of Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun, which is tactful and melodious, lingering and compassionate, and moving.

However, Cao Cao played a version that Master Li had never heard before, and the tune was desolate and atmospheric, majestic and powerful, which made people listen to it and be excited.

Yue Fei felt this way, listening to Cao Cao's music, he actually had a feeling of wanting to ride a fast horse and gallop across the endless grassland.

Yue Fei's eyes changed when he saw Cao Cao, and for the first time, he felt that this man was so unfathomable, and he admired Cao Cao even more.

After playing the song, Cao Cao got up, and Master Li raised his hand and applauded.

"When I first heard the tune, I thought that the son was not exempt from vulgarity, and the drunkard did not mean to drink, but later I found out that I was narrow-minded."

Master Li has been immersed in music theory for a long time, so she naturally knows the meaning of Cao Cao's playing, and she thought at first that Cao Cao, like many swingers, fell in love with her at first sight and wanted to pursue her.

This kind of person, this kind of thing, Master Li has seen a lot, and he is used to it.

However, then Master Li found out that she misunderstood Cao Cao: "The "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" played by Gongzi is not asking for the love of men and women, but the ideal in Gongzi's heart. Childe's ideals are lofty, his ambitions are not small, and his teachers admire him. ”

Although Master Li said this, a trace of imperceptible disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Men like to pursue careers, and they feel that they will naturally not worry about having wives and concubines when they have a successful career, but what Master Li wants is not a man's career, but sincerity.

In terms of career, who can compare to Zhao Ji, the emperor of the current dynasty?

But so what?

The one who hurt her the most was precisely the lord of the Song Dynasty.

Cao Cao laughed and played a dumb riddle: "Didn't the girl think about why I played this tune?" Career is important, but people's hearts are complicated, how do girls know that there are no things in my ideals that girls think. ”

Cao Cao naturally fell in love with Master Li, whether it was her beauty or her talent, she was deeply moved by Cao Cao.

Master Li didn't speak, as if he was thinking about something, and the scene was very embarrassing.

At this moment, Yue Fei's stomach gurgled and Master Li pursed his lips when he heard this, and beckoned the maid Fluttershy: "Tell Mother Li, prepare a table of food, plus two pots of good wine, and send it to my room." ”

When Mother Li heard Fluttershy's words, she thought she had misheard, and she couldn't figure out what was going on with Master Li today, meeting and eating again, which wasn't the case before.

What makes Li's mother even more puzzled is what kind of ability that black and fat man has, he is ugly, he has no money, he plays a song that is nondescript, why can he let the teacher and the girl be so hospitable?

She shook her head and ordered, she only knew that no matter how much she didn't understand, the instructions of the God of Wealth could not be disobeyed.

The good wine and food were ready, the three of them sat down again, and Master Li also took off his veil at this time.

Although Cao Cao was mentally prepared, he could vaguely see the outline of Master Li's facial features through the veil before, but when he really saw Master Li's face, Cao Cao was stunned.

Cao Cao thinks that he has seen a lot of beauties in his previous life, but there are not many who are as graceful as Master Li.

He couldn't help but think of a poem he saw a few days ago: "Looking at Yingchuan flowers all over the world, it's not as good as a teacher." ”

When Master Li saw Cao Cao's expression, he smiled, a woman is a person who pleases herself, and when she sees a man's obsessive gaze, which woman will be unhappy?

Especially that person is still his bosom friend.

After a long time, Cao Cao came back to his senses and blurted out a poem:

"Fang Nian's sound price is the crown green building,"

"Jade looks are rare."

"Looking back and smiling,"

He was ashamed of the strong man and bowed his head.

Master Li came into contact with many literati and scholars, and there were also people who wrote poems to compliment her, and Cao Cao's poem was no exception.

Master Li naturally heard the meaning of praise in Cao Cao's poems, raised a glass of wine, and smiled: "A thousand gold is easy to get, a bosom friend is hard to find, and the master respects the son with a cup." ”

Cao Cao: "Girl, don't call me Wuzhi." ”

Master Li was slightly embarrassed: "This ...... I don't know what Brother Wu is doing in Kaifeng? ”

Cao Cao told the truth: "Today, there are thieves everywhere, and in Yanggu County, where I am located, there are Tianhu rebellion in the west and Chao Gai Juyi in the south. ”

"I was worried that one day it would endanger the people of Yanggu County, so the county order ordered me to come to Beijing to mediate and form a Yanggu regiment to practice in case of contingencies."

After hearing this, Master Li frowned slightly: "I don't think this matter is so easy. ”
