Chapter 52: Dong Xiaowan

"In the old moonlight, how many times did you shine on me, and the flute was played by the plum side? Evoke the jade people, regardless of the cold and climbing. He Xun is getting old now, and he has forgotten and written in the spring breeze. But it's strange, the flowers outside the bamboo are sparse, and the fragrance is cold into the Yao seat. ”

Thousands of guests in the audience were silent at this time, so drunk that they were about to hold their breath, just to let this beautiful female voice without any musical accompaniment be disturbed by a single noise.

After half singing, from the long-open door, the singer finally appeared. But I saw that she was tall, with long flowing hair, watery eyes, and a shy pink neck. And there is only a thin silk dress on her body, and her snow-like skin looms under the silk clothes, which has triggered countless reveries. A cold wind blew, the clothes fluttered, and it was pitiful, which made people feel pity.

In the stunned eyes of everyone, she walked forward while chanting: "Jiang Guo, you are lonely." Sigh and send the road away, the snow at night is accumulating. Cuizun is easy to cry, and the red calyx is speechless. Changji once joined hands, thousands of trees pressed, and the West Lake was cold and blue. When will you see it blow out again? ”

It wasn't until the song was sung that she slowly stepped onto the stage and was deeply blessed by the audience, and the guests broke out into cheers like waking up from a dream!

And Mao Xiang, one of the four sons, got up and took the lead in applauding: "What a 'fragrant and cold Yao banquet', Qinglian entered, which is exactly what this sentence should be!" ”。

The woman also bowed to Mao Xiang's seat again, and her eyes were full of tenderness and sweetness.

Zhu Youzhen saw that no one had introduced the woman on stage, and couldn't help but ask Li Zicheng next to him: "What is the name of this girl?" Is it called 'Qinglian'? ”

Before Li Zicheng could answer, a young man who looked like a scholar on the table next to him snorted with his nostrils and said disdainfully: "Even Dong Xiaowan and Miss Dong, who are at the top of Qin Huai Bayan, don't know that she came to watch the Oiran Competition, it's really a tyrannical thing!" No matter how much money you have, you are also a rich man who has never seen the world! ”

Only then did Zhu Youzhen know that this woman was Dong Xiaowan, no wonder she flirted with Mao Xiangmei, it seems that at least the plot of this garbage TV series is still faithful to history.

Lin Youkun saw that this scholar was quite rude to Zhu Youzhen, but he was furious, and subconsciously reached out to touch the sword on his waist.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhu Youzhen hurriedly pulled Lin Youkun by the hand, and said in a low voice: "What are you doing?" Don't use a knife or a gun at every turn, this person is not a robber! ”

Lin Youkun saw that Zhu Youzhen had spoken, of course he didn't dare to make a mistake, and retreated to the side with his head hung in frustration.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen didn't dare to say anything, the scholar was even more arrogant, raised his chin high, and disdained Zhu Youzhen. But I didn't know that if it wasn't for Zhu Youzhen, he would have already gone to Hades to report by now.

Seeing this, Li Zicheng comforted Zhu Youzhen in a low voice: "You Gongzi, just endure the anger for a while, don't be like this sour Confucian." This person has a meritorious reputation, and if he really wants to make trouble, we may not be able to get good fruit to eat. ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "How does Gongzi Li know that he is famous? He didn't have a label on his head. ”

Li Zicheng smiled when he heard this: "You Gongzi is also very funny. Look at this person's waist wearing jade, if ordinary people wear jade, they will be punished. ”

Zhu Youzhen asked in surprise: "As the saying goes, wearing clothes and hats, everyone has their own advantages, and the government is even in charge of this, so it can't help but be too lenient?" ”

"That's how wide the government is. During the Hongwu period, ordinary farmers could wear silk clothes, but merchants could not wear them, otherwise it would be a capital crime. Li Zicheng said sarcastically, "But the peasant families are poor and can't afford to wear silk clothes." The merchant is rich, but he only dares to wear silk clothes at home, which makes people laugh! Fortunately, the world has gradually changed over the years, and the government does not delve into these things, otherwise, the contemptible people would have to change into a patched coarse cloth coat to watch the Oiran finals in the world. ”

While speaking, Dong Xiaowan thanked the guests and was about to leave. But everyone refused to let her go backstage, clamoring for her to sing again. Dong Xiaowan was helpless, so she had to sing another song "Su Curtain Cover".

Zhu Youzhen has also heard a lot of tunes from Shanglin Yuan in Beijing to the current Menghong Mansion. The first time I heard it, it was very fresh, and I heard it a lot, after all, it was a bit the same. In his previous life, he was quite interested in pop music, and occasionally he was willing to go to the song hall and shout twice, building his happiness on the pain of others. Whether it is Wu Mengmei, Gao Yinger or Dong Xiaowan, the songs they sing are all elegant and melodious, tactful and low-back, although they are antique, they are always not very to his taste.

And Dong Xiaowan is a native of Jiangnan, and there is some Wu Yin in the singing, which makes Zhu Youzhen feel at a loss. After listening to a few words patiently, he was a little excited.

Lin Youkun saw that Zhu Youzhen was absent-minded, but Zheng Tuohai and Li Zicheng were listening attentively, and took the opportunity to whisper to Zhu Youzhen: "Your Highness, the bandits who attacked the convoy today are by no means ordinary thieves. According to the humble position, it seems to have come down against His Highness. ”

Zhu Youzhen was taken aback, and the bloody scene of the sword light and sword shadow in the afternoon resurfaced in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "How can you see it?" ”

Lin Youkun analyzed: "Ordinary thieves, no matter how cruel, only want to make money. But the robbers encountered today are only concerned with murder, and are indifferent to the belongings in the car. Especially the five black-clothed men at the back of the convoy, with superb martial arts, ruthless, and would rather die than retreat, and did not leave any clues that could reveal their identities, which made people even more suspicious. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought back to the situation of being attacked in the afternoon, and couldn't help nodding again and again. Especially when he thought of the moment when five sharp arrows flew towards his face, he was scared again into a cold sweat.

Lin Youkun continued: "I think that it is very likely that His Highness's hidden treasures have been leaked, and some heinous people, wanting to be unfavorable to His Highness, deliberately disguised themselves as bandits to rob, so as not to expose their identities. ”

Zhu Youzhen thought that he still needed to ask, it must be a good thing that Wei Zhongxian and his minions did.

At that time, it was too late to return to Beijing, so he agreed to enter Tongzhou City with Zheng Tuohai's convoy. Just now, I have sent my subordinates to return to Beijing under the starry night, and secretly reported that long live, please send more people to take His Royal Highness back to the palace. At the same time, the Tongzhou Guard, which was stationed in the local area, was notified and secretly deployed tightly. As soon as the Beijing master comes, His Royal Highness can return to Beijing. ”

Zhu Youzhen saw that Lin Youkun had arranged everything for himself, so he had to nod helplessly. Although he knew that Lin Youkun was doing it for his own good, he had only been out of the palace for two days, and he hadn't played enough, and he was about to go home again, so he was really a little reluctant.

Moreover, how Bao Yulian will be settled, how to cooperate with Li Zicheng, and how he will die in the future, these things are not yet clueless. If you go back to the palace in a hurry, I don't know if you can come out next time, and when you will come out. By that time, I'm afraid it's already a matter of fact, and even the daylily will be cold.

At this time, Dong Xiaowan was already singing the end of the song. There was another round of applause and cheers from the audience, and they were all impressed by Dong Xiaowan's exquisite singing voice and my pitiful charm.

Dong Xiaowan bowed deeply to the guests again, and when her eyes swept over the audience, she saw Zhu Youzhen with a sad face, looking at herself blankly, and couldn't help frowning slightly, thinking that this person is different from others, does he not like my talent?

At this time, Dong Xiaowan was the focus of the audience, she frowned inexplicably, and everyone followed her gaze and found Zhu Youzhen, who was still at a loss.

The audience was in an uproar in an instant, and Zhu Youzhen became the target of everyone. The guests also thought that he was dissatisfied with Dong Xiaowan's performance, which caused the beauty to frown, and they all glared at him angrily.

Especially in Mao Xiang, when he saw that someone made his beloved frown unhappy, his heart was on fire. But he was self-reliant, and he was proud of his identity, so he just glanced at Zhu Youzhen coldly and did not speak.

Zhu Youzhen shouted in his heart that he was wronged, wasn't this lying down and being shot? I didn't do anything, but I just didn't listen carefully, and even the teacher in my previous life was allowed to sleep in class, so why do you guys have to meddle with rats?

Fortunately, Dong Xiaowan did not delve into it, bowed and turned around and stepped down, and everyone no longer paid attention to Zhu Youzhen. This product also breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if my brother really couldn't hold back this little temper, he slapped the table and glared, this Lin Youkun next to him was even more fierce than a Tibetan mastiff, and when he saw who bit whom, he had to create a Tongzhou tragedy.

The next person to take the stage was Wu Mengmei. She had already carefully groomed herself, and she didn't see the slightest influence from today's events, and sang Huang Tingjian's "Water Tune Song Head".

In all fairness, Wu Mengmei is not inferior to Dong Xiaowan in terms of appearance and talent. However, the Jiangnan literary atmosphere in the Ming Dynasty was far superior to that of the north, and most of the people who attended the finals of the World Oiran were literati students from the south, so they naturally preferred Dong Xiaowan, who was also born in Jiangnan and was famous all over the world.

Although Wu Mengmei is a famous prostitute in Beijing, she is much worse than Dong Xiaowan in terms of fame. At the end of the song, except for Zheng Tuohai and others who applauded wildly, there were few others who responded.

Zhu Youzhen felt a little upset for Wu Mengmei in his heart, he had already seen that in fact, these so-called sons and literati were just a virtue with the star fans in their previous lives: as long as they recognize an idol, they will die to the end. Even if this idol farts, it's all fragrant. If this idol still has a competitor, regardless of three, seven, twenty-one, immediately drown in the water army on the Internet. Saying "pride and prejudice" is really a bit exaltation, or the word "brain-dead" is the most appropriate.

When she was sighing, Wu Mengmei retreated into the background. After a pause, a few handymen from Menghong Mansion came to the stage to set up, set up a table and a chair, and carefully moved a musical instrument and gently placed it on the table.

Zhu Youzhen didn't know what kind of musical instrument it was, but he didn't dare to ask out loud, for fear of being ridiculed again, so he had to whisper to Bao Yulian beside him.

Bao Yulian glanced at Zhu Youzhen and said softly: "Isn't this a guzheng?" Haven't even seen this? ”

At this moment, Zhu Youzhen was simply embarrassed, he just wanted to conjure a guitar and shouted at more than 1,000 people in the audience: "Do you know what this is?" It's called guitar! ”
