Zou Yuzhi said, "Of course it is in the hands of my father and Kong Ci daren."
Lu Fei nodded and said, "Then work on them. It is very difficult for your father to refuse the Yuzhou Provincial Governor. After all, he is a high-ranking official. A marriage alliance is beneficial to your Zou family. If you don't marry and offend the Provincial Governor, he will make things difficult for you."
Zou Yuzhi said, "Correct."
Lu Fei continued, "Then it is very difficult for your father to change his mind. What's more, you are father and daughter. If your father insists, what can you do?"
Zou Yuzhi fell into deep thought. Lu Fei reminded, "Think about the women you have seen. Which one of them can't be married off?"
Zou Yuzhi raised her head and said, "The daughter of the Zhang family in the east of the city is unruly and domineering. She often beats and kills people. Many people don't dare to marry her." She paused and said, "Master Liu's daughter was defiled when she was seventeen. Until now, no one has married her … but … but this will damage her reputation. It won't work." Finally, she sighed, "Why don't I become a monk? There is a Taoist temple behind me … but, but it is really a bit rushed."
Lu Fei laughed and said, "Since it is like this, why don't you listen to my suggestion?"
Zou Yuzhi knew that Lu Fei was full of schemes, so he immediately listened attentively. Lu Fei said, "Tell me, if the Provincial Governor Daren knew that you are seriously ill and will die soon, will they still be willing?"
Zou Yuzhi said happily, "You are so smart. Then how do we let him know that I have a terminal illness?"
Lu Fei said, "When the time comes, you just have to cough up some blood in front of them. Then, when your parents ask, you can tell them the symptoms. There will definitely be people who know what illness you have."
Zou Yuzhi nodded and said, "Let's do it like that."
Following that, the two of them discussed the specific details. In the afternoon, the servants in the residence began to busy themselves with slaughtering pigs and sheep to prepare for the banquet. Zou Yuzhi gathered all the musicians in the residence together to play the song Lu Fei had "composed". During this time, Zou Yuzhi kept coughing and wearing a thick cloak. Lu Fei said that this was called foreshadowing, so that the servants would know that she had this symptom first.
Lu Fei changed into the musicians' uniform and mixed in with the group to play the erhu. At night, everyone gathered in the backyard of the hall and practiced again under Zou Yuzhi's guidance. During the break, Lu Fei saw the female dancers practicing martial arts. They put several drums of different sizes together, and then used an iron frame to hang the cymbals used for opera. They smashed the cymbals twice with a wooden club. The effect seemed to be pretty good. Lu Fei chuckled and waved the drum hammer in his hand, rapidly hitting the drums of different sizes, forming a strong rhythm.
The female dancers couldn't help but dance along with Lu Fei's rhythm. Many of the servants nearby also stopped what they were doing and stopped to watch.
Lu Fei hit the drums for a while, then said to a young man who was watching from the side, "You do it." The young man immediately stepped forward and picked up the drum hammer, imitating Lu Fei's previous tune. Lu Fei picked up the pipe beside him and blew on it. The young man used Lu Fei's self-made drum to accompany him. The two of them played more and more in tune. The female dancers also danced more and more energetically. Some of the weaker ones were so tired that they stood to the side to rest. Lu Fei was playing the Spanish bullfight song.
The people in the residence had never heard such music before. For a moment, they were all stunned. The surrounding musicians were excited and followed the accompaniment. Their faces were red and their necks were thick. The scene seemed to have gone out of control.
The beautiful female dancers retreated to the side, covered in sweat. They watched Lu Fei and the others play. After a while, Zou Yuzhi came over and gestured for them to stop. "Everyone, take a break. We'll be going in an hour."
Everyone rehearsed the order of performance again and sat on the ground to rest. All the musicians surrounded Lu Fei and asked curiously, "Did you compose the song just now? Is there anything else? "
Lu Fei pulled out some brainwashing songs. A middle-aged musician sighed and said, "I've never heard such a song. It's just a little tacky." Lu Fei wanted to establish his prestige among the musicians, so he played some more elegant songs. A group of musicians surrounded Lu Fei and listened quietly. Zou Yuzhi stood in the distance and watched.
Lu Fei saw her figure and immediately changed the tune to "I Like You". His eyes met with Zou Yuzhi's. Zou Yuzhi suddenly trembled and froze in place. She understood Lu Fei's music and read Lu Fei's eyes. In an instant, an indescribable feeling of joy rose in her heart. She had never experienced such a feeling in her life.
In the end, Lu Fei did not know what kind of music he was playing. In short, all the emotions in his heart were expressed in the music. He felt a kind of joy rising in his heart, and he unconsciously used his power on the erhu. In an instant, his spirit and Genuine Qi combined, creating a huge influence. Everyone nearby who heard the music was affected by him, and they slowly stopped playing. In their minds, the moment when they were aroused unconsciously appeared.
After the song ended, many people came back to their senses and only then did they realize that they had unknowingly stopped. They felt strange and hurriedly went back to work. Zou Yuzhi was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes. She had never experienced music with such strong emotions. In fact, it was all because Lu Fei had accidentally combined his power during the playing process to affect people mentally. His spirit was mainly directed at Zou Yuzhi, so this phenomenon occurred.
After Lu Fei finished his performance, his heart was also incomparably shocked. Just now, he seemed to have faintly experienced a kind of powerful martial art that could influence the enemy's mind with the help of sound. If he could have such an effect on the enemy, wouldn't he be in an invincible position? Thinking of this, Lu Fei was happy. He didn't expect that an unexpected performance would have such an effect.
At this time, someone came from the front hall and said, "Musicians and dance team, quickly come and get ready. Miss, you also have to get ready."
Zou Yuzhi hurriedly picked up her pipa and walked with everyone to the courtyard behind the main hall to wait for orders. The person who came out of the hall said, "In a while, when I wave my hand, you all walk in in an orderly manner. Don't mess around, understand?"
Everyone nodded together. Most of them were a little nervous. After all, the person who came this time was the provincial governor of Yuzhou. Lu Fei looked at Zou Yuzhi and saw that she was looking at him. He smiled at her. Zou Yuzhi also smiled slightly. Lu Fei made a gesture of coughing. Zou Yuzhi nodded gently and waved the bloody handkerchief at Lu Fei.
