Chapter 6 Singing
The wine is in a line into the glass, and there is a loud noise,
Zeng Shiquan gestured with his eyes, suppressed Li Yichen's slightly raised posture, and said coldly: "Good voice, Mr. Guts, it can be said that it is not small,"
Mr. Zhu was not afraid, resting the pot and leaning firmly on the back of the chair, and smiled clearly: "Is the master talking about me, I really don't know where to start, hehe, in this winter, I can avoid the warm room, drink wine and listen to the wind, isn't it wonderful and happy, the interest is high, chanting two lines of poetry, what courage do you need?"
Zeng Shiquan's smiling eyes suddenly shot out a sharp light like a blade, as if he had pierced Mr. Zhu's face, scraping and peeling.
He leaned forward slightly, and said gloomily: "The sun and the moon are the bright characters, and the east wind is the East Factory, isn't this just sarcastic for me to talk about the wind, take advantage of the momentum of the East Factory, and cover the sky with one hand?"
Mr. Zhu said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the master is really too careful, and the poem I just chanted is called." Yongliu', written is a small spring in winter, the east wind rises, the willow branches shake chaotic, this warm wind meets the cold, it gives birth to snow, such as flowers scattered in the world, covering the sky and the earth, under but to drink the body of wine warm, think of the outside or snow such as frost, for a while to think of this poem, this poem is made by Zeng Gong in the Song Dynasty, Zeng Wending Gong Zi Gu, is Fuzhou Nanfeng people, Yuanfeng years Zeng official worship in the scholar, the article has great achievements, and its poem is covered by the name of the text, the world may not be widely recited, this poem is made by the Song Dynasty, and how can it be a satire of Dongchang and the master of you, ”
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the Hanlin Academy edited Zhu Youxuan's Tang and Song Dynasty articles and achieved great achievements in eight people, compiled into the "Eight Mr. Anthology", since then the world has been known as the Tang and Song Dynasty Eight Masters, Zeng Gong is one of the eight, said that his poems are not widely recited, in fact, in order to take care of Zeng Shiquan's face, so as not to make him ashamed too much, but in the eyes of the scholars, this is a greater irony, Chang Sihao has a limited understanding of literature, Shao Fang and Gao Yang both understand Mr. Zhu's use of the past to satirize the present, The trick of transferring flowers and trees, but the two of them have no good impression of Zeng Shiquan, so although they know it in their hearts, they are happy to listen to Mr. Zhu's ridicule and tease this boring man.
Li Yichen does not have much Chinese ink on his chest, and he doesn't know if there is really such a "Zeng Wending Gong", but looking at his face, he always feels that the other party is playing tricks on his side, a face gradually turns blue, the wrinkles between his eyebrows are twisted like hemp ropes, and he can't help but look at Zeng Shiquan, and he has the intention of doing it at any time,
At this time, there was an uproar outside, the applause rose, someone placed five waist drum type four hollow embroidered piers on the stage, the stunning quadruplets each held a musical instrument and walked on the stage, two separated, Shui Yanxiang embraced a fragrant mahogany five-string pipa appeared behind, she has changed into a snow-colored collared skirt, the sleeves, the skirt feet have a dark blue flower print, the lamp shimmers, with light steps, bring out a beautiful momentum,
There was no one in the hall who spoke, coughed, or even breathed heavily, and everyone quietly saluted her.
Shui Yanxiang was not in a hurry, sat down on the embroidery pier in the center of the stage, gently lifted his left leg, pressed his right knee, and when the skirt was settled, it just covered the surface of his feet, and only a small tip of his shoe was exposed.
These shoes have also been changed, no longer the wooden style when dancing out, but with a white background and green edges, the fabric is bright and shiny, and has the texture of porcelain.
She steadied the pipa in her arms, her eyes slowly swept forward, people's breath was condensed, and the hall was full of heartbeats.
Shui Yanxiang smiled,
The silence after this hustle and bustle made her face flush with drunken redness, as if a little girl had seen the shyness of the living person for the first time, making people feel that she was now and she who was laughing on the railing outside just now, seemed to be two completely different existences.
A loud sound was loud and clear, as if a small dragon flew away from the string, and in the bard hall, its rhyme was endless,
She pressed her fingers, smiled lightly, and said, "Xiaoxiang has recently written a new tune, do you want to listen to it?"
People smile knowingly, the answer is naturally yes, but some nonsense is only wonderful when it is said, too high expectations even if they are perfectly met, it will also make people disappointed, and this sentence makes people feel relaxed,
Shui Yanxiang snapped her fingers, and the four sisters sat down willingly, kneading the strings to make Xiao, the music floated, and the tune was soft, like an empty mountain condensing mist, dew sleeping pandan,
A faint pipa timbre, unexpectedly slowly injected, the singing of the water and fragrance also followed, singing is: "Melting snow into ice at night, the street is deserted, the clouds are like passing water, meteors and rains are fierce, silent, countless dreams through the ages, but lonely and difficult to wake up, I don't know who is with Xu Jinsheng, I wish to sign the flower for the thin, the pen walks the snake dragon, hook the fate, change an encounter; wipe all kinds of things, and have a calm ...... for a lifetime."
Her mouth is light and round, her breath is smokeless, and her voice is light and soft, like a clear spring bubbling into a stream, forming a frictionless penetration with the music.
The music of the pipa occasionally tinkling winter is as crisp and transparent as jade, like the starlight that gives the sky a counterweight.
"Lonely and hard to wake up......"
Chang Sihao's eyes were discolored, his eyes were detached, and a picture appeared in his heart, which was a courtyard where chrysanthemums bloomed like complaints, and the sound of water was dingdong, on the second floor of the small building, there was a girl who stroked the railing, her long eyelashes drooped, looking at the waterwheel running slowly in the courtyard, her expression was quiet and lonely,
Everyone in the hall listened quietly, only to feel that a heart also went with it, each fantasy heart, each enjoying its feelings,
After singing a song, the jade fingers left the strings, the water and fragrance slowly collected the breath, and the body was slightly indebted.
However, the hall was silent, silent for a long time, and no one cheered.
She was a little surprised, raised her head, and looked left and right: "What, isn't it good?"
When Chang Sihao heard the sentence "I don't know who is with Xu Jinsheng", his heart was a pang, thinking that Qin Ziyin woke up from loneliness, but he wanted to love others, and finally met himself, the world is impermanent, it always makes people so powerless, inadvertently, he felt that there was weight on his eyelashes, he instantly collected his mind, hurriedly stretched out his hand to applaud, cheered loudly, and gently covered this irrepressible emotion,
The expressions of everyone in the hall were stunned, still immersed in some kind of illusion, Chang Sihao's colorful voice made them come back to their senses, and the sparse applause rang out, and suddenly it became a torrent of torrents of rain and wind.
Shui Yanxiang turned a pair of wonderful eyes, stopped on Chang Sihao's face for a moment, smiled like a flower, looked back at the appearance of everyone, seemed to think that this was like words, raised his hand and snapped his fingers to ask for wine,
Some people couldn't help but admire: "The song of the water girl, the song is wonderful, it is really a fairy masterpiece, it makes people forget their worries," the people around nodded after listening to it, and some people echoed: "Not bad, this song sounds like warm water slowly pouring down from head to toe, and the whole body is warm, I really listen to it so intoxicated that I can't even remember where I am for a while," for a while, many people praised it, and suddenly there was a humane: "Bad, bad," the hall was quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on him,
This man is about thirty years old, thin, with a yellow and scorched skin, with a short beard, dressed as rich and noble, in the winter, he still has a small bamboo fan in his hand, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he stood up and said, "You don't hear it" Lonely and difficult to wake up' four words, lonely and difficult to wake up, this song is by no means a pleasant work, the truth is the loneliness of life, it is a sad article through the ages, you have experienced a midnight dream back, dressed and stayed, but see the window between the fragrant cold, the bamboo in the courtyard is lonely, the sky leaks the stars, the ground is covered with moon frost, people only feel choked in the heart, a wisp of bitterness in the chest, ten thousand kinds of loneliness, difficult to describe, this song is soft and delicate, such as appealing to the heart, is singing out of the desolation here, so I think that all the princes are misunderstood, "When speaking, the head shakes the north and south, the fan points to the east and west, and looks sour,
As soon as these words came out, some people nodded in agreement, some people retorted, several groups of people held their own opinions and debated with each other, and some people disdained to participate, looking at these people shaking their heads again and again, closing their eyes, and reminiscing about the aftertaste,
On the stage, Shui Yanxiang held a wine pot and drank freely in the sky, very proud, and Chang Sihao longed for it for a while, and thought: "I thought there was no music except for Brother Cang's Bailangqin, but I didn't want this water girl's pipa to be so good, but her lyrics seem to tell the thoughts of her daughter's family, which is very different from the feeling of the poem on the wall of Koufuju, look at her drinking and singing music in it, and worry-free and bitter, Cheng's daughter, I'm afraid most of them won't have such a mood," The hand moves with his heart, stroked along the neck, the jade pendant in the bag is still there, and under a press, the sternum hurts slightly, but a wave of disappointment strikes in the bottom of his heart.
"Hahaha,"
A few bursts of laughter suddenly suppressed the noise in the hall, and a person on the east side stretched his arms and said loudly: "You debate all kinds of tricks, but you don't think about it, the song of the water girl is wonderful from nature, and it is inseparable, but you take it apart, this one is wonderful, that one is beautiful, this one is outstanding in fingering, and that one praises her for her high ability to write words.
The sour man struck the small fan in the palm of his hand, and said: "This is reasonable, no matter how much we say, it is also a blind man's image, and the melody of the words and texts is a charm, such as people climbing to the top, Fang Ming's lotus tip is wonderful, the paper is a stream, and the blank space has its own spring sound, all the hearts, why Yong repeatedly, "Say a small fan and sit down,
The man in the east said: "Well said, in fact, the water girl has a graceful appearance, like a fairy, and she is drunk when she looks at it, no matter what song she talks about or sings any words, isn't it all the same?"
Wen Acid Gong pointed at the distance: "I thought you understood, it seems that you are also a stupid thing, you are good-looking, what does it have to do with the tune,"
Dongmian said: "It doesn't matter, everything is one, if this is an eighty-year-old woman playing the pipa, no matter how beautiful it is, I'm afraid you won't come,"
Wen Acid slapped the table and said, "Why not, even if it is another forty or fifty years, as long as the water girl is still playing here, I will still come to listen,"
He said this very sincerely, which moved several people, and the people in the east shouted "hypocrisy", the two quarreled, and the rest of the people started to talk again, and Cha Jijia laughed loudly: "Everyone, you don't feel sorry for your saliva, but you feel a little sorry for the silver, haha, I think everyone should stop fighting, it's better to ask the water girl to play another song to fill our everyone's ears," As soon as the people heard this, they woke up and closed their mouths, and the people who argued had no opponents, so they also fell silent, and the noise disappeared for a while.
Shui Yanxiang watched with interest while drinking and watching people comment on the dispute, at this time the wine in his hand had already drunk more than half of the pot, seeing this scene, he smiled and said: " Okay, just now I saw how lively you said, I really can't bear to bother, in fact, you praise too much, praise me for playing well, Xiaoxiang is grateful, after all, it is hard to practice day by day, praise me for being beautiful, what do I say, this face is given by my father, you praise me, I can only thank my father, but ah, after all, youth is limited, people will always have the day when they are old, you will always get used to me, tired of me, tired of me, at that time, how should Xiaoxiang deal with herself...... Hehe, don't say more, fortunately, now, I still have a lot of youth in hand, you are still my food and clothing parents, confidants and friends, come, all those who have wine are served, Xiaoxiang is here to give everyone a glass,"
She didn't wait for others, she raised her head and poured a big sip of wine,
Everyone was stunned by her words, the wine was in their hands, and they forgot to drink it, and some people heard the infinite loneliness and sorrow in her half-drunk and half-awake words.
Shui Yanxiang bent down, put the remaining half pot of wine at his feet, and muttered to himself, "Sing something,"
She straightened up and looked stunned for a while without making a sound, as if she had bent down just now to make the wine stronger, a little intoxicated, holding the pipa in her hand, unconsciously adjusting the string shaft, her eyes spilled around, and when she turned to Chang Sihao's table, she paused slightly, her eyes narrowed, and she muttered: "Well, let's take the topic just now as a guide, let's take a while,"
The false armor is rotated, and the song starts, singing: "I want my eyes to be cloudy, my body is like Qiu He withering, Qiu He is decaying and Xiao, but it is the beauty of the world, I want to happen in vain, ascend and get drunk with tears, there are joys and sorrows in the past in tears, without youth regrets, I want to live in Fengdu, thirsty to drink yellow spring water, marry a goblin as a mother-in-law, and give birth to a nest of ghosts...... Ha ha...... Hahaha...... "She played the song and shook her head, now she made up and sang, she was very happy, and when she sang the last two sentences, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, her chin was raised high, and the snow chest under her collar trembled with laughter, and the time marks were bright,
Check the chicken rack grinned, couldn't help shrugging her shoulders and rubbing her hands, knowing that it was not good for her to be so nonsense, looking back at the master, I saw Xu Sangongzi shaking his head and slapping his head, it seemed that no matter what Shui Yanxiang sang, it was wonderful, everyone listened to this song melodious and pleasant, and sang soothing and good, and shouted loudly in the interlude.
Shui Yanxiang sang happily, picked up her toes, and grabbed the pot and drank wildly, one of the four sisters on the stage leaned forward slightly, smiled and looked at the four leaders, and suggested: "Girl, most of the guests who came today are talented and rich people, why don't you let them compose lyrics on the spot, you can sing it,"
As soon as everyone heard this idea, they immediately became possessed by the disciples, and they came to the spirit again, and immediately said gossipily: "The words we wrote can be sung in the mouth of the girl who hits the water, it is a great honor, you want to get, you want to get," "Haha, the talented man fills in the lyrics and sings it, I am really a blessing, this matter will achieve a story through the ages, quickly take a pen, I will be the first to write,"
Shui Yanxiang smiled and put down the wine jug, and looked at everyone: "All of them are talented and rich and rich, so Pan Anzijian is all over the street," Cha Jijia hurriedly smiled: "There is no talent, it seems that the girl should go down, come to be a beautiful woman in the main exam, it is also a beautiful talk," Shui Yanxiang laughed,
Xu Sangongzi was unprepared for this, seeing that Shui Yanxiang was happy, and everyone was enthusiastic, naturally he was very happy, and he was busy taking pen and ink and distributing it around, but when he saw that there were many people asking for paper, he couldn't help frowning, and he looked at the chicken rack, and said loudly: "Everyone, the water girl is delicate, hundreds of words, I'm afraid she can't finish singing until dawn, it's better to write a limit of one per person to the writer, the collection is selected by her, and the selected one will be sung, how,"
Although everyone was reluctant, they didn't want others to think that they didn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, so they nodded and accepted, and Wen Sour Gong suddenly said: "Water girl, if the word is chosen, there should also be a reward," someone refuted: "One in a hundred, it is a great fortune to be selected, what reward do you want," Wen Sour Gong smiled slightly, pointed at Shui Yanxiang's feet with a fan and said: "There is no need for anything else, as long as the girl rewards the half pot of residual wine," Suddenly the hall was booed, and laughter broke out,
Chang Sihao shook his head when he saw it, his consciousness retracted to his side, and his face stiffened.
