Lu Fei knew that women in ancient times were very particular about hairstyles. Although he had seen many high-end hairstyles, he didn't know how to do them. He could only braid her hair into a tight braid.
Seeing this, Zou Yuzhi hurriedly said, "No, there will be guests at home today. Father asked me to play the pipa. You make it look better."
"Oh." Lu Fei was a little embarrassed. After removing the braid, he thought for a moment and began to get busy. He had once seen someone make a bridal hair style, and it looked very beautiful. Fortunately, Zou Yuzhi had a complete set of tools. After busying himself for half a day, he finally succeeded. He put some gold ornaments on it, but in the end, he always felt that something was missing. With a flash of inspiration, he picked up a gold comb and used the Nine Yang Divine Art to pinch the top of the comb into the shape of a small crown. He also took a few crystal jadeite from the jewelry box and pressed it on top of the head of Zou Yuzhi's hair.
This was the finishing touch. It immediately showed Zou Yuzhi's noble status and extraordinary identity. Zou Yuzhi shook her head with satisfaction and said, "You have some skills."
At this time, the servant girl downstairs came up and gently knocked on the door. "Miss, are you up?"
Zou Yuzhi responded, "Put the toiletries outside. I'll go out and wash my face later."
"Okay." The servant girl immediately busied herself outside. Zou Yuzhi got up and picked up the pipa. She sat at the table and played it twice. She looked up and asked, "You haven't told me who you are and why you were chased."
Lu Fei sat opposite her and said, "Did you see the appearance of the person who chased me yesterday?"
Zou Yuzhi nodded and said, "She was a very beautiful girl."
Lu Fei said, "That was Mo Weiting from Mu Cang Sect. Have you heard of her?"
Zou Yuzhi said in surprise, "Mo Weiting? I often heard from my father that you were able to escape from her hands. That means your kung fu is very powerful. "
Lu Fei said with a wry smile, "Not necessarily. I provoked them in order to save people. It was not easy for me to escape."
Zou Yuzhi looked as if she didn't understand. "Judging from your accent, you don't seem to be a local."
Lu Fei said, "I'm from Zhuo County in Youzhou. I came out for a stroll and happened to run into these things, so I came here to take refuge."
Zou Yuzhi frowned and said, "But you … It's not appropriate for you to hide in someone else's room like this."
Lu Fei sighed inwardly, thinking that Zou Yuzhi was trying to drive him away. Suddenly, he heard Zou Yuzhi say, "I remember now. You can pretend to be my musician. Do you know anything about music?"
"Music?" Lu Fei nodded. "I know a little."
Zou Yu said happily, "That's good. What instrument do you know?"
Lu Fei thought to himself, I know how to play the piano, violin, and drums, but you don't have them here. But if you know one instrument, you can learn other instruments very quickly. So he said, "Erhu will do. I played it for a while." In fact, he had only played it once.
Lu Fei immediately snuck out of the house. Zou Yuzhi circled outside and brought Lu Fei back, saying that he was a newly recruited musician. She openly brought Lu Fei to her own attic. But this time, Lu Fei could only stay in the small hall outside the bedroom. After all, the servant girls were walking up and down the stairs. If they really found out that he had entered the lady's boudoir, it wouldn't be good.
Zou Yuzhi ordered someone to bring an erhu over, wanting to see if he could pass the test.
Lu Fei took the erhu. He thought to himself that he hadn't played it for a long time. He didn't know if he could fully display his strength. The two servant girls stood to the side and watched. Zou Yuzhi wanted to send them away, but she was afraid that they would be suspicious. She was a bit nervous. If Lu Fei's skills were really bad, it would be embarrassing. After all, her zither skills were famous throughout the county. If she found a musician with such bad judgment, it would be bad for her reputation.
Lu Fei casually played the erhu a few times to test the sound. The quality of the instrument was good. He immediately got into position, his arms shaking violently. The song he played was the widely praised "Horse Racing."
When Zou Yuzhi first heard it, he was moved. Lu Fei's skill was passable, but the song he played was really not ordinary. Zou Yuzhi was already in a daze after listening to it. The two servant girls nodded their heads as they listened. Later on, they followed Lu Fei's rhythm and began to nod their heads in tune. When Lu Fei saw this, he played even more vigorously. He thought that this song was really a brainwashing song. When he reached the part where he forgot himself, he also crossed his legs and stood on tiptoe to the rhythm.
When the song ended, Zou Yuzhi fell into deep thought. One of the servant girls clapped her hands and cheered. Zou Yuzhi woke up and asked, "How come I've never heard of this song before? Did you compose it yourself?"
Lu Fei chuckled, "You can say so." He thought that stealing a song from a later generation was a good choice.
Zou Yuzhi sighed, "I didn't expect you to be so talented in music. Let's play this song in a while."
The two played the song together. Lu Fei said, "I have another song that might be more suitable for playing."
Zou Yuzhi hurriedly asked, "What is it? Play it for me to hear. "
Lu Fei nodded, "That's right. With the zither in tune, along with the big drums and chimes, it will be very imposing."
Zou Yuzhi looked at Lu Fei with a smile. There seemed to be a hint of worship in her eyes.
Lu Fei stroked his chin, smiled, and asked, "I wonder what kind of guests will be coming later?"
Zou Yuzhi said, "It's the current governor of Yuzhou, Lord Kong Yi. He's bringing his son here today to discuss marriage."
Lu Fei was stunned, "Marriage? Could it be that they're here for Young Miss? "
Zou Yuzhi said, "You can say that. They can't do anything about the matchmaker's words." Zou Yuzhi's face looked a little unsatisfied. Lu Fei thought that the women of this era didn't care about their marriages. He thought that whatever their parents arranged would be done. Since Zou Yuzhi had an unsatisfied look on her face, it meant that the idea of women's rights and freedom had been awakened.
Lu Fei looked at the two maidservants behind him and said, "Perhaps I can help Young Miss."
How could Zou Yuzhi not know what he meant? She immediately sent the two maidservants away. Lu Fei said, "Since you don't agree with this marriage, it's just a matter of using some tricks to refuse it."
Zou Yuzhi asked, "What tricks? Please tell me."
Lu Fei said, "Use your brain and think. Who has the authority to promote this marriage?"
