117 Catch the wind and wash the dust
Smoke and rain building.
The inside and outside of the pavilion illuminated by red lanterns shine slowly.
The VIP box on the third floor was already full, all of them were occupied by mysterious guests from all sides, and the staircase was all guarded by first-class masters, and no one knew who was on the third floor.
The halls on the second and first floors are crowded, and the big gangs and tycoons of Wu County, as well as the wealthy businessmen who come and go from the south to the north, the local magnates of Wu County, and the sons of wealthy families, thousands of people gather together, full of friends, greeting each other, talking about who the Oiran is famous tonight, and the hustle and bustle is very lively.
The deputy gang leader of the horse gang personally sat on the second floor and led the horse gang masters to watch the field to prevent chaos.
For tonight's Oiran Conference, the caravan attaches great importance to it.
In the battle with the Giant Whale Gang in Taihu Lake, the elite disciples of the Ma Gang killed nearly 300 people and injured no less than 1,200, and the pension alone was a huge expense. Coupled with the merit bounty given to the disciples who participated in the battle, the expenses were like running water.
Tonight's Oiran Conference, there are many Qingqi people who are about to leave the cabinet, just the first night of the cabinet right auction, can return a lot of money for the horse gang, relieve the pressure.
The deputy gang leader of Wu personally sat in charge to ensure that tonight's grand event was foolproof.
The Oiran Festival of Kure County finally opened.
In the center of the hall on the first floor, there is a huge stage for singing and dancing.
Qing people from dozens of green buildings in Wu County appeared one after another, competing one after another, showing the eighteen kinds of singing and dancing skills they had learned.
"Good!"
"One more song!"
All night, several hours, in the middle of the night. As the so-called Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold overnight, Qinglou is not drunk and does not return at night.
Naturally, the finale is always at the back of the line.
The high-rollers were excited to see it, and the enthusiasm for anticipation was getting higher and higher.
Mama Li walked on the stage and said enthusiastically: "Please, tonight's finale, Yanyu Lou Feishi, Miss Anu!
The central stage of the Yanyu Building was shrouded in hazy pink and white tulle.
It is like an ethereal Moon Palace fairyland, with a fluttering tulle and dreams.
In the center of the stage of Yanyulou, there is a delicate fairy dancing in a delicate manner, holding a light pipa, holding the pipa and half-covering her face, gently twisting it slowly. The low-brow letter continued, as if it was narrating infinite things in his heart.
If the large beads and small beads fall crisply on the jade plate, if the silver bottle breaks through the water slurry and splashes around, the iron horse highlights the sound of knives and guns.
Playing the neon dress song and dancing the feather coat dance, it is like a dream.
For a moment, in the smoke and rain building, the guests gradually looked intoxicated and confused.
From time to time, the room erupted in applause.
Anu danced in the center of the stage, watching the cheers of the guests, but he didn't see the once familiar figure, and he didn't feel the unspeakable sadness in his heart.
Unconsciously, the sound of the pipa gradually became sad, and the cold strings of the ice fountain condensed.
"Qiang~——!"
The sound of the four strings is like a cracked silk, and the strings of the pipa are broken.
Anu couldn't hide the sadness in his heart, fell on the stage, and his pretty face flowed silently with two lines of tears.
A song of neon clothes, dancing and breaking the bowels!
The Yanyu building was full of guests, and there was silence and silence for a while.
...
Third floor.
A large luxury box.
Jiangzhou Sima Bai Juyi, Wang Shoucheng Qincha envoy and Wu County Taishou Zhao Juzhen, the three adults sat at the main table.
The county commanders of Wu County accompanied the last seat, and the rest of the officials stood aside.
Wang Shoucheng was almost out loud, and sighed after a long time: "I have followed His Majesty for many years, and I have seen the singing voice of Huo Xiaoyuna, a famous prostitute in Chang'an, and I have also watched the "Sword Dance" of the palace dance of Gongsun Auntie, and appreciated the famous dance "Golden Thread Clothes" by Du Qiuniang, a famous prostitute in Jinling! ”
Lord Bai was stunned for a while, and then asked left and right, "By the way, what's her name?"
Wang Xian Ling hurriedly said: "This is really not clear, I only heard about Fei Shi Anu just now." However, the county government has all the registered prostitutes with their full names on them, but do you have to go down to the officials to check them?"
"Let's check it out. ”
Zhao Juzhen instructed Wang County to order.
"Yes!"
Wang Xian Ling nodded hurriedly and rushed to the county government with several officials.
After a while, Wang Xian Ling hurriedly returned, his face seemed to be a little frightened, pale and bloodless, and whispered back to the three adults:
"Three adults, I found it. Gusu Yanyulou Le prostitute Feishi, Fei Xingnu, seventeen years old. Orphan, sold himself at the age of nine, and a month later, he was sold by the hostess of the main family in the Yanyu Building. There is a younger brother, who is one year younger, and the rest of the records are unknown. ”
Wang Shoucheng Qin almost couldn't help but praise: "A good name is enough to be on a par with Huo Xiaoyu, Du Qiuniang, etc.!" Xing, Xingrong also. She started from a humble beginning, but she prospered and prospered, and she was a great omen in the world!"
"Fihinnu, people are as their name suggests!"
Lord Bai also nodded slightly in approval.
Wang Xianling's face turned white, and he didn't care about wiping the sweat on his face, so he hurriedly interjected and said: "Three adults, the key is not whether her name is good or not! This Fei Xingnu is Fei Xingchou's sister." And Fei Xingchou, isn't he the hero of the Aquila Gate? I heard that this Chou and Su Shangxian have a friendship that is not ordinarily deep, but a small friendship.
But Anu sold herself eight or nine years ago, and the relationship between her and Ah Chou is surprisingly few people know about it, and no one has heard of it at all. If Su Shangxian finds out, I'm afraid something big will happen. Lord Zhao, the lower officials were afraid that something would happen, so they hurriedly brought the book of prostitutes. ”
He hurriedly handed over the book of prostitutes.
Zhao Juzhen's expression changed, and he took the book of prostitutes and looked at it, and his expression suddenly became heavy: "Well, you did a good job in this matter." If you're not careful, something big will happen!"
When the other two adults heard this, they noticed this detail, and they were all surprised.
"Or, the lower officials quickly asked the Ma Gang to hand over Fei Xingnu's deed of sale and cancel the prostitute registration on the official register, lest Su Shangxian be guilty after he found out?!"
Wang Xian Ling said carefully.
"No!"
Zhao Juzhen's expression was calm, and he shook his hand and said, "Don't do this!"
"It's... Why is that?"
Wang Xianling was stunned.
"This Anu is Ugly's sister, and Ugly and Su Shangxian have had a deep friendship since childhood. Su Shangxian will definitely save Anu for the sake of Ugly. But if you take the lead and come forward to save people, it will be tantamount to making Su Shangxian owe you a favor!
We worldly people are still unwilling to owe favors easily. Immortals, I'm afraid that this matter will be even more taboo, which immortal would be happy to have another personal debt for no reason?
You let Shangxian owe you a favor, so how do you plan to let Shangxian repay you this favor, thinking about you every day?
Zhao Juzhen said in a deep voice.
Wang Xian Ling suddenly thought about this thoroughly, his expression was terrified, and he shook his head again and again: "Don't dare! ”
"This matter has to be carefully considered!"
The officials, big and small, thought that this matter was not an ordinary tricky matter.
In the name of Su Shangxian, it was easy to ask the horse gang to immediately sell his body deed and release people.
But who would dare to go to Yue Yu to do this before Su Shangxian. In disguise, Su Shangxian received a favor.
Affection is the most subtle.
Debt of affection, pen and pen are debts, so people who value love and righteousness are unwilling to owe debt of affection. If you owe it, you must want to pay it back as soon as possible.
But if the two identities are so different that the high one owes the humble a debt of favor, this is probably worse than a knife.
Even if it is a high-level member of the Ma Gang, once this relationship is discovered, I am afraid that it will be a headache for the Ma Gang, and I don't know what to do in order to release people, and not let Su Shangxian owe the Ma Gang a favor.
Gusu County can't afford it, how can their horse gang afford it!
Let Su Shangxian owe them a favor, I'm afraid that the whole gang will have trouble sleeping.
"Before Su Shangxian came... Nothing can be done. Wait for him to come and redeem the man. ”
"However, does Su Shangxian know that this Fei Xingnu is Ah Chou's sister? Su Shangxian has not known where to go in the past two days. Will he appear? In case Su Shangxian doesn't know about this relationship at all... If you can't come... I'm afraid it's not good. ”
The hearts of the people were heavy.
Zhao Juzhen pondered for a long time and said, "It's okay, I have one last strategy here." Su Shangxian also has a court reward of tens of thousands of taels of silver obtained by the bandits, which has not yet been received. If the Oiran Conference ends and Su Shangxian still fails to come in person, then he can only spend this silver in the name of Su Shangxian, redeem her, and return her freedom. ... In this way, she is still rescued by Su Shangxian, not by others. This favor will not be recorded on anyone's head. ”
Wang Qincha nodded in agreement: "That's the only way, wait first, let's see if Su Shangxian will come tonight." ”
The crowd could only wait.
Bai Juyi thought for a moment and said, "Come here, pen and ink are waiting!"
His entourage immediately laid pen, ink, paper, and inkstone on the table.
Bai Juyi thought for a moment, and splashed his pen and ink.
"Pipa Xing"
After a long time, he came out, still holding the pipa and half covering his face.
Gently twist and slowly wipe and pick up, at the beginning of the neon dress after six years.
Noisy and staggered, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate.
Wuling is young and entangled, and I don't know how many red silk songs are played.
This year's laughter will be next year, and the autumn moon and spring breeze will be leisurely.
The younger brother went to join the army and the aunt died, and the twilight went to the past.
It was sad and not like a forward voice, and the whole audience wept when they heard it.
...”
With the last stroke, Bai Juyi seemed to be in a daze, and sighed slightly.
Zhao Juzhen and Lord Qincha watched from the sidelines.
Wang County Order, Wang Zhubo and other officials, large and small, are all looking forward to it.
Lord Bai is the first-class talent in the Tang Dynasty, and the celebrity in front of His Majesty. It was a great blessing to see him write poetry with his own eyes.
Zhao Juzhen meditated, breathtaking, and praised: "Lord Bai is talented." I watched the dance of the neon clothes and feathers of the Fixing slaves, and although I thought about it in my heart, I couldn't write anything. This song "Pipa Xing" is tear-jerking, and it must be a swan song for the ages, which will amaze you!"
Bai Juyi shook his head and said indifferently: "I just write realistically, writing about the life of Fei Xingnu, without adding a point or subtracting a color." The trip to Wu County, I met Miss Fei Xingnu, it was my Bai's luck, and this poem was a complete trip. ”
Zhao Juzhen sighed and said with envy: "My Zhao family's famous brother Sijinshi will be forgotten by the world after a few decades. Brother Bai's poem is a swan song that has been passed down through the ages. This "Pipa Xing", I am afraid that thousands of years later, the world will still sing it from mouth to mouth. She's more famous and lucky than me. “
"Lord Zhao's words are wrong~!"
Bai Juyi shook his head and said, "With her Fei Xingnu first, Bai can write this "Pipa Xing". It wasn't me who made her a fissinu. Besides, Lord Zhao and Miss Fei Xingnu can't compare.
Lord Zhao is the dignitary of this life, enjoying the glory of his life... It's just that the reputation of later generations is not obvious.
And she Fei Xingnu, I am afraid that she will suffer in this world, so she will leave a famous name for thousands of years. ”
"We mortals in the world have a short life of 100 years, and who doesn't want to live forever! I don't want to make a note in the history books. ”
Zhao Juzhen is still envious: "Lord Bai, why don't you also help me write a poem?" just write a poem, and when the world mentions Lord Bai's poems in the future, they will also think of it by the way." ”
He can also write poetry himself, but it is not very good, and there are not many people who appreciate it. Only the poems of Bai Juyi, a first-class talent in the Tang Dynasty, will be praised by the world.
"Write about you?
Bai Juyi was surprised.
"I'm on the official side, and I've destroyed the Giant Whale Gang!"
Zhao Juzhen hurriedly said.
Bai Juyi smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Juzhen couldn't help but hurriedly asked: "Why, this merit of exterminating the Giant Whale Gang and guarding Wu County is not enough to write into a poem?"
Wang Qin almost couldn't help laughing, patted Zhao Juzhen's shoulder and said, "Lord Zhao, don't think about it." His Majesty thought of him a poem of praise, hinted at it several times, but he still couldn't get it, and he was very angry. You and me, how can you be so blessed.
Don't look at you and me, there are dozens of officials here, tonight's smoke and rain building is full of heroes, it seems that each of them is famous, and there are countless of them. But after decades, all of them disappeared in silence in this rolling red dust world, and they couldn't set off half of the waves.
There are thousands of people in this hall, and the only ones who can really live through the ages are Lord Bai and the Miss Fei Xingnu in his "Pipa Xing". ”
Of course, Zhao Juzhen also knew this, her face was full of resentment, and she sighed: "Alas, we vulgar people can only fight for the rise and fall of the past few decades!"
"It's just that, Fei Xingnu, this life is bumpy!"
Bai Juyi put the pen down and suddenly sighed.
Wang Qincha smiled and said, "Lord Bai, why should I sigh. Since ancient times, which generation of famous prostitutes who has been famous all over the world has not suffered all her life? Even if she can escape from this small Qinglou and escape from this small Wu County. However, can she escape the fate of that life? Even if she is the emperor's beloved concubine, she will be favored in a thousand ways, and she will have a good death in more than ten years?"
The officials were silent.
The death of Yang Guifei, who was favored by the emperor in every way, is still vivid.
Who in the world can be more noble than the emperor?
The emperor can't shelter his beloved woman, who can change that fate.
Wang Qincha shook his head and said: "The fate of the red face is destined by God. Slavery is just a fate on paper, whether it can be sold or not, in fact, it can't change the destiny of heaven. Not to mention us petty officials, even if we are favored by the emperor and taken by our side, we can't change our fate. ... This destiny can only be changed by immortals. This Wu County's immortals, only Su Shangxian. It's just that I don't know if Su Shangxian is willing to change her life in this life. ”
"Yes! The destiny of heaven is difficult to change, only the immortals change their lives. The world, who doesn't envy the true immortals!"
Bai Juyi sighed a little, got up, and left the table and said: "I went to Jiangzhou to take up my post on this trip, and I came to Gusu halfway, and I met Miss Fei Xingnu by chance, and I got a "Pipa Xing", and my wish was fulfilled.
The rest of Fihingnu's life depends on her life. For the rest of the rest of the matter, I asked the two adults to take care of Fei Xingnu. Wang Qincha, Lord Zhao, farewell!"
"Master Bai go well, go all the way!
The two adults hurriedly got up to see each other off, and ordered a team of officials to escort Lord Bai out of Wu County.
----------------
PS: There are always people complaining, I wrote to death ugly.
I don't want to.
If you want to complain, just complain about Lord Bai. Why did he write this sentence in "Pipa Xing": 'My brother went to the army and my aunt died', (my brother died in battle, and my father and mother died early).
The first four chapters of "I Am Xianfan" are based on "Yebo Fengqiao": "The moon falls and the sky is full of frost, and Jiang Feng is sleeping." Hanshan Temple outside the city of Gusu, the bell rings in the middle of the night to the passenger ship. ".
According to the first sentence, the moon fell and the sky was full of frost, and the image of a fisherman, Su Chen, fishing, was written.
According to the second sentence, Jiang Feng Yuhuo was sad and wrote down the two sad characters of Father Su and Mrs. Su.
According to the third and fourth sentences, the story scene of the Hanshan Taoist Temple was written respectively, and the images of Li Jiao and her father and mother Mi Shang were written.
Some people think that this is unreal, a completely fictional world of cultivating immortals, that is, they don't even understand the first four chapters. The allusion to the origin of the protagonist in it is from the famous poems of the Tang Dynasty.
Some people think that Bai Juyi's appearance as a poet is too abrupt. But the two sisters and brothers, Fei Xingnu and Fei Xingchou, follow a sentence in the original characters of "Pipa Xing", "The younger brother went to the army and the aunt died", the father and mother died early, and the younger brother died in the battle.
