When they had almost finished laughing, Zhang Shixun clasped his hands together and said, "Today is New Year's Eve. It is an honor for the Ding family to have you all here at the Lotus Pavilion. We are all guests, so how can we refuse to comply with your requests?"
"Good!" There was a cheer from the audience.
"Since everyone likes my songs, I'll reluctantly sing one more for you... Let me make a deal first, if anyone wants me to sing again after I finish this, I'll really beat you up!"
"Haha! Good!"
The audience burst into laughter.
"The song you just sang was out of rhythm and was just a casual song. This time, I'll sing 'Linjiangxian', which is worthy of being performed in a formal setting."
"good!"
Zhao Ji, who was standing in the stands, turned pale and murmured, "Sure enough! Sure enough!"
Li Shishi hurriedly asked, "Sir, what is it?"
"I just said that his music was not musical and could not be performed by a noble audience, but he already knew it. It really is related to the gods."
Zhao Ji took out a handkerchief and wiped his face. In fact, there was nothing on his face, he just used it to hide his uneasiness.
Li Shishi said, "Your Majesty, this may be just a coincidence. Zhang Shixun said that he is not an immortal."
"He also told me himself that he wasn't a god, but I always felt that what he said was not entirely true."
Li Shishi said seriously, "Zhang Shixun is a very honest man and doesn't lie."
"But seeing is believing. He has the Book of Heaven and can summon thunder from heaven. I saw it all with my own eyes." Whenever Zhao Ji thought of this, he felt uneasy.
The emperor receives his mandate from heaven, heaven is his father and earth is his mother. Now out of nowhere there appears an immortal who refuses to admit that he is a god. How should the emperor deal with this?
The Yangtze River rolls along eastward, its waves washing away all its might.
Success or failure is all in vain.
The green mountains remain, and the sunsets are still red.
The white-haired fisherman and woodcutter on the river bank are accustomed to seeing the autumn moon and spring breeze.
A pot of wine to celebrate our reunion.
So many things in the past and present are just a joke.
This song "Linjiangxian" was written by Yang Shen in the Ming Dynasty. The lyrics and music are generous and tragic, which makes people feel heartbroken and full of emotion when listening to it.
The rise and fall of history and the ups and downs of life will flow away like the waters of the Yangtze River, which is a sigh.
The last sentence "all become a joke" reflects a broad-minded mind, and the philosophy of life is realized from the success and failure.
Although Zhang Shixun's voice was pretty good, he did not have the deep and full bass of the original singer, Master Yang, so the effect of his singing was naturally greatly reduced.
Even so, it still won applause from the audience. As for how many people could understand something from this song, that is unknown.
Zhao Ji seemed to have realized something from the poem. He sighed and murmured, "I am used to seeing the autumn moon and spring breeze... I am used to seeing the autumn moon and spring breeze, but I still haven't seen enough, and I can't just treat it as a joke."
Li Shishi also had her own insights: "In life, whether rich or poor, in the end everything will turn into a wisp of smoke. Instead of that, it is better to stay away from the hustle and bustle, dedicate yourself to the mountains and rivers, and be accompanied by the autumn moon and spring breeze."
The two of them were talking about different things and their conversations were totally out of sync.
"You want to get away from the hustle and bustle, but I won't agree. If you want to indulge in the beauty of nature, you can go to Lianggen, where there are autumn moons and spring breezes."
Li Shishi said calmly, "Genyue is just a larger birdcage, not a real landscape."
She actually wanted to say that Genyue was built with the blood and sweat of the people, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
No need!
Zhao Ji understood the meaning of her words and said hurriedly, "Madam Shishi, I love you in every possible way, and I can express my love to you day and night."
Li Shishi said calmly: "Since the emperor dotes on me, please marry me into the palace. My request is not high, just give me the title of concubine." She knew in her heart that the emperor in front of her would never marry her.
Entering the palace.
Zhao Ji saw a hint of sarcasm in her smile and hurriedly explained: "Of course I want to marry you into the palace, but the ministers will not agree. It is not in accordance with etiquette."
"Really? You left the palace privately to listen to music with me. Is that in accordance with etiquette?"
"This..." Zhao Ji was speechless and his face flushed.
"Your Majesty, you are the greatest man in the world, and I am of humble status. There is an unbridgeable river between us. You should..." Before Li Shishi could finish her words, someone outside the curtain announced, "Your Majesty, the Grand Nuo Ceremony is about to begin. You should return to the palace."
The so-called Great Nuo Ceremony was a royal ritual to exorcise evil spirits. It was performed every New Year's Eve. As the master of the palace, Zhao Ji had to be present.
"Well! It's time to go back to the palace." Zhao Ji stood up and asked Li Shishi, "Do you want me to send someone to take you back?"
"No need. I'll go back with Sister Ding later." Li Shishi stood up and saw him off.
"Okay." After Zhao Ji said that, he lifted the curtain and walked out of the stands.
Li Shishi stood alone in the stands, lost in thought for a moment. Then she smiled sadly and muttered to herself, "The 'Spring Moon and Autumn Wind' in your eyes is very different from the 'Spring Moon and Autumn Wind' in my eyes!"
Zhang Shixun, the fake "god", naturally didn't know what was happening in the stands. He was currently in trouble.
"Sir, why is a woman looking for you?" Ding Dusai opened his eyes wide, waiting for Zhang Shixun's answer.
"A woman is looking for me?" Zhang Shixun was surprised. "Besides you guys, I don't know any other women. Am I right?"
"She's right at the back door, and she insists on seeing you by name. There's no mistake about it."
Zhang Shixun scratched his head. "Are your sisters looking for me... No, they can't come to me alone."
Ding Dusai stared at him for a long time, not pretending to be hypocritical, and said casually: "Since they want to see you, then go quickly to avoid hurting their feelings."
There is jealousy in his words.
"No! If we have to go, we should go together." Zhang Shixun answered firmly.
On major issues of right and wrong, we must stand firm and not be vague in the slightest.
"Oh! He keeps saying he wants to see you, so why would I go with him?"
"Where do you get so petty?" Zhang Shixun stopped talking nonsense with her, grabbed her hand and walked back.
This scene was seen by other people in the team. Some pretended not to see it, while others stared at the two of them with a smile.
"Let go of my hand." Ding Dusai quickly pulled his hand out of his clutches and said in a low voice, "I'll go with you."
She also wanted to find out what kind of woman came to see Zhang Shixun.
I've heard that there are few good men in the world, and they are always looking at the pot while having their fill.
Although Zhang Shixun is a decent person, who knows if he will be like those bad men?
You must watch it closely and not let other female cats take it away.
When Zhang Shixun and the other man opened the back door, they saw a woman standing outside in the night, but their face was not clear.
Zhang Shixun asked, "Are you looking for me?"
