Chapter 79 Kou Baimen
Kou Baimen entered the cabin and greeted Li Sihong first. "I don't know your name, sister. How should I address you?"
"My name is Li! Please do it, young lady!" said Li Sihong.
Kou Baimen sat down, and Zhao Xiaofei and I followed suit. Kou Baimen said, "I just heard my sister sing "Wang Ningmei" with a unique flavor. I wonder where this music comes from? I've never heard it before!"
"This is the singing style of the South Australia Country! It was brought from a foreign country by the current Princess Kunxing's husband!" said Li Sihong.
"Oh! I didn't know there was such a way of singing! Are there any other songs that I can appreciate?" Kou Baimen said with a smile.
"Sure!" Zhao Xiaofei was delighted. It was his first time seeing an ancient celebrity. She was truly a natural beauty, much better than those celebrities who looked flawless with makeup on but looked awful when they took it off.
Zhao Xiaofei had a servant bring a guitar and tuned it. He played "Swords and Swords Like Dreams," and Kou Baimen applauded. He smiled and said, "I wonder what the customs of Nan'ao are like? What's it like?"
"The country of South Australia is thousands of miles south of Qiongzhou. The land there is fertile. The animals there are different from those in the Central Plains. The female animals there have a pouch, and the cubs live in the pouch when they are young." Zhao Xiaofei described the scenery of Australia again.
"I really want to go there in my lifetime and experience the charm of all nations!" Kou Baimen said with a longing look on her face.
"Here's how! I'll draw the animals I've seen and show them to the girl." Li Sihong, who had been silent all this time, said.
"Yes! My wife is the best among all the paintings, no less talented than Mr. Wei," Zhao Xiaofei said. (This Mr. Wei refers to Wei Zhihuang.)
"My dear husband, you are too kind! How can I compare with Mr. Wei?" Li Sihong said with a smile.
By this time, the servants had already set aside the brush, ink, paper, and inkstone. Li Sihong stood up, and Zhao Xiaofei hurried to help her. He then ground ink for her. Kou Baimen watched, envious of the couple. He wondered what good life he would have in the future. Unfortunately, he was born into a family of prostitutes, and at best, he would be married off as a concubine. One day, when he grew old and lost his beauty, he would be driven out. If only he could meet someone as caring as Master Cao, how wonderful it would be.
Li Sihong's brushstrokes flew, and in just a few strokes she sketched a kangaroo with a baby kangaroo in its pouch grazing on the grassland. Then, with a few more strokes, she sketched a koala crawling on a tree, carrying a baby koala on its back, both eating leaves.
After finishing the painting, Zhao Xiaofei gave it to Kou Baimen. Kou Baimen took the painting and admired it with great joy. The cute animals inspired the tenderness in the woman's heart. But when she turned around, she saw Zhao Xiaofei wiping Li Sihong's sweat, which made Kou Baimen feel dog food again.
Kou Baimen said, "I have listened to the song and have the painting. I will not disturb your leisure time. We are almost at the destination. I will take my leave first."
"Then I won't see you off!" said Li Sihong.
In fact, Zhao Xiaofei wanted to keep Kou Baimen for a while longer. Who wouldn't want to admire a beautiful woman? Kou Baimen got off the boat and slowly walked away playing the pipa. Li Sihong smiled and said, "Does my husband like this Kou Baimen?"
"I just admire her. I see a heroic spirit between her eyebrows. If she knew some martial arts, she would definitely become a heroine like Huang Rong in the book." Zhao Xiaofei said.
"I don't see it. If you marry a woman like this, she will just be a vase, just for the eyes to be seen at home," said Li Sihong.
Zhao Xiaofei didn't respond. He was thinking: What does Li Sihong mean by this? Is she implying that I like Kou Baimen and can marry her? Or is this just slander between women, especially beautiful women? Why is this woman trying to embarrass another woman?
Seeing Zhao Xiaofei silent, Li Sihong asked, "Why aren't you talking, husband? Do you disagree with my point of view?"
"Have you heard the story of Meng's mother moving three times?" Zhao Xiaofei said.
Li Sihong nodded, and Zhao Xiaofei continued, "Raising a woman is no different from raising a child! One thing depends on her character, and the other on the environment she marries into. If she has a good character and marries a man who loves her, I believe she will be a good wife. But if she marries a man who is always flirting with other women and doesn't care about her, what will she become?"
Li Sihong laughed and said, "Husband! Are you implying that if she marries someone like you who loves her so much, she will definitely become a better person?"
"That's not what I meant! There are so many good men in the world, why should I be the best? Only you and the princess like me and treat me as your treasure." Zhao Xiaofei said hypocritically.
"Husband, why do you have to belittle yourself? How many men in this world respect their wives like this? If other men had the status or wealth you have today, they would have had three wives and four concubines. But you always give in to me and think of me everywhere. You even gave your first child the surname Li. Not many men in this world can do that." Li Sihong said.
"How could I not know? Am I really that good?" Zhao Xiaofei asked. He thought to himself, a scumbag like me is actually a good man in your eyes. Your standards are too low. I wonder if you will have any danger during childbirth. Should I wait until you give birth and send you to a modern hospital? Or should I find a female obstetrician and gynecologist who is about to be released from the prison? I don't even know if there are such female doctors in prison. Zhao Xiaofei's thoughts were so wild that he could actually think so far.
"Husband, you can go and ask if there are men like you!" said Li Sihong.
Seeing that Zhao Xiaofei didn't respond, Li Sihong waved her hand in front of Zhao Xiaofei's eyes, and he came back to his senses. Li Sihong smiled and asked, "Are you thinking about Kou Baimen, Miss Kou?"
"That's not the case! I'm just thinking that when you give birth, I have to go to Taixu Fairyland to ask a female doctor to deliver your baby, otherwise I'll be a little worried!" said Zhao Xiaofei.
