On this day, early in the morning, not long after Zuixianju opened its doors, a woman dressed in white suddenly came to the door. She had light makeup and a hint of sadness. She was carrying a big baggage behind her.
Rectangular object.
This woman stood at the door, neither entering nor leaving, which made people feel strange.
Wu Furong at the counter noticed her for a while, so he asked Chen Anan to ask.
Chen Anan walked out and asked the girl: "Girl, are you here to eat?"
The woman shook her head and said, "I--I'm here to find someone?"
"Then who are you looking for?"
"Li Qi. He told me that he is the chef of your store."
Chen Anan was surprised and said: "Oh, are you here to see Brother Li?"
The woman nodded.
"Brother Li is not here yet. Please go sit in the store for a while. He will be here soon."
When Chen Anan heard that she was here to see Li Qi, he hurriedly invited her in.
About half an hour later, Li Qi rode the calm donkey to Zuixianju.
Ever since he rode this calm donkey to the eastern suburbs, Li Qi found that he could no longer leave it. It was so damn safe. After riding for so long, he still saw it running by, so he simply spent the time riding it.
Money bought it.
When Chen Anan saw Li Qi coming, he hurriedly greeted her and said, "Brother Li, there is a girl who just came to the store to look for you."
"girl?"
Li Qi was stunned and said: "What girl?"
"I don't know about that. I asked her what her name was, but she refused to tell me." Chen Anan shook his head.
"Then where is she now?"
"It's on the second floor."
"Okay then. You help me lead the donkey to the backyard, and I'll go up and take a look."
When he arrived on the second floor, Li Qi was slightly startled when he saw the woman's back. He raised the corner of his mouth and realized it was her. He walked forward and said with a smile: "Hello, Miss Ji."
This woman is that Ji Hongnu.
When Ji Hongnu saw Li Qi coming, he quickly stood up and saluted Li Qi.
Li Qi nodded and said with a smile: "I saw you haven't been here for so long, I thought you wouldn't come."
Ji Hongnu lowered his head and said softly: "I'm sorry, Brother Li."
"It's okay, just come."
Li Qi shook his head, looked around, and saw the bartenders arriving one after another, and said: "This is not the place to talk, let's go to the backyard to talk."
Li Qi took Ji Hongnu to the lounge in the backyard and helped her pour a cup of tea, which made Ji Hongnu panic.
Li Qi asked with concern: "Is your mother okay?"
Ji Hongnu's eyes turned red and he said, "Thank you for your concern, brother, but - my mother passed away three days ago."
"Uh...sorry."
Li Qi said humbly: "Then is there anything I can do to help you?"
"Brother Li, can you lend me three dollars first?" Ji Hongnu looked at Li Qida with tears in his eyes.
"Three Guan Qian?"
Li Qi looked at her eager expression, pondered for a moment, and guessed that she must have asked someone to borrow money to handle her mother's funeral arrangements. He smiled and said, "Three-string money is not a lot, so it doesn't hurt to lend it to you.
But are you here today just to borrow money?"
Ji Hongnu was stunned and said, "Didn't you say you wanted me to come to your shop to be a geisha?"
"Yes. But you don't seem to have given me the answer yet." Li Qi nodded.
Ji Hongnu lowered his head and said softly: "If you just let me sing, I--I will."
"Don't worry, I will never force you to do anything you don't want to do."
Li Qi smiled, changed the subject, and said: "But before that, I have to test you. After all, I haven't heard you sing, and I don't know if you can do it. But don't worry, no matter what,
I will lend you three thousand dollars."
When Ji Hongnu heard this, he raised his head and looked at Li Qi in surprise.
Li Qi raised his hand and pointed: "What are you carrying?"
Ji Hongnu was slightly startled, and hurriedly took down the bundle, placed it on the table, and opened the cloth, revealing a lyre.
Li Qi smiled and said: "It seems that you are quite confident. Do you think I will ask you to sing today?"
Ji Hongnu blushed and nodded.
"Then what if you drive away all my guests?" Li Qi joked.
"I--I--." Ji Hongnu hesitated, but didn't know what to say and looked very embarrassed.
"Okay, I'm just joking with you, don't take it seriously. Having confidence is a good thing, not bad."
Li Qi chuckled and said, "Are you very good at playing the piano?"
Ji Hongnu nodded, then shook his head.
Li Qi was confused and asked: "What do you mean?"
Ji Hongnu said shyly: "I used to play the piano alone, and rarely played for others, but--but Sister Hua from Qifeng Tower said that I played well."
"Hmm. Then can you compose music yourself?"
Ji Hongnu shook his head.
"For example, if I don't give you the music score and I sing a song, can you play it according to the melody I sing?"
Ji Hongnu frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "I don't know either, but I think it should be possible."
"Okay---Okay, let's try it first. You prepare yourself first, and I have to clear my throat. Damn it, it's been a long time since I sang a song so seriously. You're in luck."
Li Qi straightened his neck and adopted a very professional posture.
"Is it you who sings?" Ji Hongnu said in surprise.
"Of course I'm the one singing it. Don't look down on me. Let me tell you, I almost didn't go to the party - forget it, I tell you, you don't understand either."
Li Qi waved his hand and said, "You'd better prepare quickly."
Ji Hongnu nodded and started to prepare.
"Ah---, ah---, hum hum, hum hum."
Ji Hongnu was fiddling with the strings and listening to Li Qi's weird screams, her pretty face flushed red from suppressing her emotions.
After a while, Li Qi finished speaking and asked, "Are you ready?"
Ji Hongnu nodded.
"Okay. I'll give you a simple one first."
Li Qi sat up straight, with a serious look on his face, and started singing, "Two tigers, two tigers, run fast, run fast, one of them doesn't--"
"Pfft!"
Li Qi was only halfway through singing when Ji Hongnu couldn't help but laugh out loud, nodded quickly and said: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I--"
Li Qi's face sank and he said angrily: "Can you be more professional? If you want to laugh, just wait until I finish singing. If you laugh again, it will be very difficult for me to brew up my emotions."
"sorry Sorry."
"Forget it, listen carefully this time."
Li Qi coughed lightly and sang again: "Two tigers, two tigers, run fast--"
...
After finishing the song, Li Qi asked: "How was it?"
Ji Hongnu said in shock: "Ah? What is it like?"
Li Qi rolled his eyes and said, "How was my singing?"
Ji Hongnu had a strange look on his face and said, "Uh...very good."
"Don't be shy, everyone says whatever you want."
Li Qi smiled proudly and asked, "Can you play this melody?"
"——Can you sing it again? I was just listening to you sing."
Li Qi let out a long sigh, shook his head and said: "I don't blame you, it's all because my singing voice is so charming. Alas, to tell you the truth, this is not the first time. Forget it, I will sing it again. You have to sing it this time.
remember."
"Um."
Then Li Qi sang it again.
After listening to it, Ji Hongnu hummed the rhythm in his mouth, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then suddenly put his ten fingers on the strings and started playing with a clang.
When Li Qi heard this, he praised and said, "A master can pop it up with his eyes closed."
After finishing playing, Ji Hongnu opened his eyes and saw Li Qi looking at him blankly, his eyes full of joy, his cheeks suddenly flushed, and he said shyly: "Brother Li, how did I play?"
Li Qi was slightly startled, then immediately clapped his hands and praised: "Not bad, not bad, very good."
Ji Hongnu smiled shyly.
"However, this is still the simplest. Next, I have to give you something more difficult. Please listen carefully."
Li Qi thought for a while, then coughed a few times out of habit, and sang: "At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms were divided, and the wars were endless. The love of children was affected by the troubled times. Who will cook the wine? The intrigues are among the Three Kingdoms. It's hard to tell who is right.
Wrong, after thousands of years of trouble, everything starts over again, oh~~~~~~~(all the way up)---cough cough cough, cough cough cough."
Ri. I didn’t expect that I haven’t sung for so long and I can’t even sing high notes.
Li Qi coughed and his face turned red. Seeing Ji Hongnu looking like he couldn't help but laugh, he said sarcastically: "Well... because this is a test of your piano skills, I'll just sing this section first."
"Brother Li, did you compose these lyrics and music?" Ji Hongnu asked curiously. This was the first time she heard the style of this lyrics and music.
"good."
Li Qi nodded shamelessly and asked, "Have you remembered?"
Ji Hongnu shook his head and said, "I don't remember it completely."
"Okay, I'll sing it again."
...
In order to make her remember it clearly, Li Qi sang five or six times in a row. When he was about to sing the seventh time, the sound of the piano suddenly sounded, and Li Qi immediately followed the melody and sang it again.
"It's just you."
As soon as Li Qi finished singing, he immediately clapped his hands and said, feeling very excited in his heart. This girl is simply a musical genius. After a pause, he then said: "Let's do this. I'll give you the money first, and you can pay off the debt, and then we'll talk again."
Let’s talk about the contract.”
"Thank you, Brother Li, thank you."
Ji Hongnu didn't expect to pass the test so easily. He was stunned for a while before he realized what he was doing. He nodded and thanked her with red eyes.
