Chapter 58: Dao Ye, I like the dual cultivation of Buddhism and Taoism
It is still the north of Nalan Pavilion City, and it is still the fireworks willow lane that stands by the river, but the place of today's performance is not Na Yixiang Pavilion. Instead, the lights on both sides of the strait are like camps on the Lanting River.
Five flat-bottomed boats are connected by iron chains, covered with thick wooden planks, and decorated with carved railings around them, with a length and width of about nine zhang, and anchor in the center of the Lanting River, which is moored and slow-flowing. It is extremely stable, not to mention walking on it, even if it is an egg, it can stand still in the slightest.
At this moment, there are several women dancing on the platform, singing clearly, like a fairy Muyue, and the sound of silk and bamboo comes and goes.
The most brilliant thing is the woman who leads the dance, her eyebrows are picturesque, her eyes are turning, there is only a charm and innocence, the long sleeves are like a belt, the dance arc is like a circle, and the singing voice is ethereal, almost like landing on the moon, which provokes applause.
On the side of the river, there are already countless people who have climbed the building to admire. Duan Shaojun, his Ximen siblings Zhao Hengmei and Hu Jingfei did not climb the Yixiang Pavilion as usual, but sat upright on the second deck of a flower boat with a group of literati and wealthy gentry, and could easily see the stage built by the boat on the river.
The distance is neither far nor close, you can not only hear the singing clearly, but also see the beautiful faces of the dancers.
At a seat not far from them, it was Liu Changqing and a few literati, one or two pretentious and graceful people holding folding fans, sitting or lying, leisurely.
If the women on both sides of the strait look sideways, it will make those literati more and more public.
Seeing Duan Shaojun shaking his head again and again, the actions of these scholars are really no different from the open-screen peacocks in estrus in the zoo.
Liu Changqing, who is the leader, also looks good, but unfortunately he has a long eagle hooked nose, which looks annoying like an owl, dressed in a brocade robe, and the folding fan in his hand keeps opening and closing, like a butterfly. Unspeakably suave.
After the singing and dancing on the slipway was finished, Liu Changqing got up and commented: "Although this Xue Yu girl is good at dancing with long sleeves, her cooperators are unsightly, and her poetry is also vulgar, at most she is a high-class middle-class, not top-notch." ”
As the chief commentator of tonight, Lanting County, who had served as the overseer of the right summer camp in Xiazhou, was appointed to the left squire of the military department, and the old man surnamed Chen, who was nearly seventy years old, returned to his hometown, stroked his long beard and said slightly. "Changqing's words are quite true, what do you think?"
"Shangzhong can be ......" everyone gave the way, and several other flower boats scattered on the river also gave the same assessment of the middle and upper one after another.
"Compared to now, there are only two top choices, and Liu Changqing's Caifang Lou has got eighteen top floors, what can I do?" Dressed in a dark blue beard, under the lights, Ximen Chuchu, whose eyes were like stars, couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
"Don't worry, believe me, what's the fear of Caifanglou?" Duan Shaojun smiled indifferently with a smile on his face, with an expression of wisdom beads in his hand.
Brother Beast scratched his bulging head and flicked his bull's eyes. "I said, Brother Xian, can you really win? You see Liu Changqing's face is proud, and he wants to stab him twice. ”
"Don't worry, brother, we have seen Miss Su Su's rehearsal with our own eyes, do you think Miss Su Su will lose?" Zhao Hengmei poured a mouthful of Huadiao and smashed his mouth, his confidence seemed to be more than Duan Shaojun's.
"I don't think so." Hu Jingfei grinned.
"Hey, look at that, there's an old Taoist priest, Duan Gongzi, who seems to be looking for you again." Ximen Chuchu pulled Duan Shaojun's shirt and laughed in a low voice, with a kind of schadenfreude in his words.
"This old guy, why is he not dead?" Duan Shaojun followed Ximen Chuchu's gaze, and happened to see the silver-haired old Taoist Li Xuanzhen standing on the shore looking left and right, and after seeing Duan Shaojun, the old guy was overjoyed, and waved his arms very eagerly.
But Duan Shaojun smiled bitterly, he really had a headache about this old cow-nosed man like a piece of kraft candy.
"What to do? Let no one pick him up. Brother Beast scratched his head, got up and waved in response. Wouldn't it be okay not to pick him up? After all, he is the best friend of the master. ”
This old guy has not only harassed Duan Shaojun in the past two days, but also other people have been harassed enough, this old guy is treacherous and slippery, and he is still an old pervert, yesterday he went to Yixiang Pavilion to watch the rehearsal, this old pervert actually took care of the matter in the Qinglou to show a **** bulging fox woman palmistry, but he didn't know where to go.
Anyway, when Duan Shaojun and the others were about to leave after watching the rehearsal, they saw that this old and uncultivated bull's nose with disheveled clothes and lip prints on his neck returned to his seat.
This old rascal still has a word, why only allow Buddhism to have joy and Zen, Taoist I like Buddhism and Taoism.
Shengsheng followed Ximen Chuchu, who followed to see the excitement, blushed, and scolded this old man for not being ashamed. However, this old scumbag is not ashamed but proud, which really makes Duan Shaojun and others deeply admire the thick skin of this hooligan Taoist, which can be compared with the thickness of the city wall of the imperial capital Luoyang.
However, the pretentious and unruly beast brother is quite compatible with this old bull's nose, and he is almost a confidant.
Duan Shaojun shook his head, and the beast brother beckoned the boat by the flower boat to go over to pick up the old cow's nose.
"I said why didn't I see you today, it turned out that I came here to get away." The old cow greeted him with a familiar nose, picked up a glass of wine on the table and poured it into his throat, smashing his mouth with unfinished meaning. "The Lanting flower carving that has been hot for ten years, so-so, let's have another one."
“…… Dao Chief, this is my wine cup. Zhao Hengmei pointed to the wine cup with a black line on his face, and said stiffly.
"Oh, why didn't you kid say it earlier, over there, bring me a new wine cup." Li Xuanzhen looked surprised, and then shouted to the little guy next to him.
Duan Shaojun almost laughed out loud when he saw Zhao Hengmei's face that wanted to be angry but didn't dare to be angry, and hurriedly covered it up by lifting the wine jug.
"Oh, this little girl is really smart, you see, this little ass is twisted ......" Li Xuanzhen's eyes fell on the new woman, and his eyes were shining.
Next to him, Brother Beast also had a deeply approving expression. Only that Ximen Chuchu looked indignant, carrying a wine cup, not knowing whether to smash it on the head of this old man who was not ashamed, or drink the remnants of wine in the cup.
"This old pervert, Duan Gongzi, you must not agree to this old bull's nose to worship him as a teacher, just like him, if he does not mislead people's children, he can already be regarded as asking God to worship Buddha."
Seeing Ximen Chuchu's angry appearance, Duan Shaojun smiled and nodded vigorously. "Don't worry, I'm still waiting to marry a wife and have children in the future, how can I mess with this old bull nose who has no discipline."
Hearing Duan Shaojun's reply, Ximen Chuchu was greatly satisfied, especially his good-looking eyes fell on him with a smile, which made Ximen Chuchu's heart start to think crankily.
What does this bad guy mean by saying that to me, he is unintentional? Or are you hinting at me?
After seeing Ximen Chuchu nodded, he sat there and looked at himself in a daze, his expression seemed to be happy and worried, and Duan Shaojun looked inexplicable, what happened to this cute little girl?
At this time, after the people on the platform were emptied again, they saw several large drums being transported to the platform by a small boat, and four women with their hair tied and tightly dressed appeared on the field with drumsticks.
Then there were two men in their fifties, one on the pipa and the other on the guqin. Following behind the man who was covered in tulle and couldn't even see his body clearly, he slowly boarded the slipway.
"Hey, who is this woman? Why can't you see it when you cover it with green yarn? A lavishly dressed spectator said curiously.
