Modern Chinese Guide

孺悲想见孔子，孔子推说有病不见。传话的人刚出房门，孔子就取过瑟来边弹边唱，故意让孺悲听见。

James Legge Translation

Zu Pei wished to see Confucius, but Confucius declined, on the ground of being sick, to see him. When the bearer of this message went out at the door, (the Master) took his lute and sang to it, in order that Pei might hear him.
