Chapter Twenty-Seven: What a Night?
Seeing that business was coming, the swaying captain hurriedly shouted and leaned the boat against the shore. Shui Xuanling saw that this painting boat was interesting, and before the captain could get on the pedal, he immediately jumped on it and jumped on it one by one. Liu Shaoyang and the three followed, and they all stepped on the pedals to the boat.
Liu Shaoyang saw Shui Xuanling lift the curtain of the cabin and get inside. Before she and Xiao Hei and Ye Xiaoqing also walked in, she suddenly saw her open the curtain again, and shouted to the captain with a flushed face: "Boat family, why are there still two greased and powdered girls sitting in the cabin of your painting boat, all ......?"
She wanted to say, "All of them are unclothed, so shameless!", but she couldn't say it, and if she used these eight words, she herself felt that it was a bit too much, so she swallowed it back raw.
The captain was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened, as if he had heard something incredible, and said strangely: "Why did the girl say this? Look at so many painting boats on the Qinhuai River, which one of them does not have one or two of them playing the strings and singing songs." The guests who come to Qinhuai River to have fun, whether it is an element or a meat player, which one is not accompanied by a few girls!"
Shui Xuanling heard this man say this, but he didn't understand the rules, his face was even more red and about to drip blood, and he opened his mouth to argue: "I don't care, before we got on your boat, I didn't see a singer sitting on this boat, we won't sit on this boat!"
Ye Xiaoqing, who was on the side, heard Shui Xuanling's words, his face changed slightly, the corners of his eyes twitched, and he couldn't help lowering his head slightly.
The captain said: "I have rowed on the Qinhuai River for several years, and I have carried many guests, but I have never seen a girl get on the boat like this and say that you can't sit on the boat!
Although Shui Xuanling faintly felt that there was something wrong with this matter. But when I heard this man say this, I couldn't help but feel angry. I was about to teach this person a good lesson, but suddenly saw Liu Shaoyang glaring at him, and said: "Boatman, since we have come up on this boat, we will definitely sit on it." This girl in white is joking with you, you don't have to take it seriously!"
Shui Xuanling saw him say this, "Hmph!", and thought to himself: "I didn't expect that my junior brother is also this kind of person, and all men in this world are really ordinary!" turned around and got off the boat in a negative mood and jumped ashore.
Liu Shaoyang saw that Shui Xuanling was playing tricks, and hurriedly took out a silver ingot from his bag and threw it to the captain: "The boatman! This is the silver money for the chartered boat, please wait for a while!"
After that, he jumped on the shore, took a few steps and grabbed Shui Xuanling, and said in a low voice: "Senior sister, don't go, can you listen to what I say?"
Shui Xuanling saw him catching up and holding him, so he simply stopped and said, "Okay, I want to hear from you, why do you want to help that captain speak!"
Liu Shaoyang knew that she had misunderstood herself, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Senior sister, have you forgotten? Miss Ye has also been a singer for a while, you just said that, I saw that her face changed, how uncomfortable it should be in my heart." What's more, most of those who play music and sing are children of hard-working families, so why should we bother with them. ”
Shui Xuanling just said the words in one go, but he didn't think of this. Now listening to Liu Shaoyang's words, I can't help but feel ashamed.
Liu Shaoyang saw her silently, knowing that she had changed her mind, and then gently persuaded: "We came to Jinling this time, and in just two days, we have grown many extraneous branches. If the captain wants to find bad luck, although we are not afraid, but we are also annoying, wouldn't it be cost-effective. Then go back to the ship with me, and the man will not say anything else after collecting the fare. ”
Shui Xuanling nodded slightly, and the two returned to the painting boat. The captain took the money, and sure enough, he put on a smiling face, shouting to support the boat to go offshore.
In a moment, the painting boat where a few people were sitting, in the sound of the skillful swaying of the captain, had already followed the vast smoke waves of the illuminated river, heading westward.
Shui Xuanling pursed her lips, and Liu Shaoyang pulled her into the cabin. I saw that the wooden table was embroidered, the carpet was sandalwood, and the wine and tea were all available. Xiao Hei sat on the soft couch, biting on the ginger candy fresh fruit, and his eyes followed the window of the curtain curtain, looking at the sparkling night scene outside.
Ye Xiaoqing and the two Luo shirt singers were talking in one place, not knowing what they were talking about. Seeing Liu Shaoyang and Shui Xuanling coming in, he hurriedly got up and beckoned them to sit down.
The four of them sat down, Xiao Hei saw that the anger on Shui Xuanling's face had disappeared, hehe smiled, and whispered to Ye Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, what did I just say?" No matter how angry Sister Xuanling is, as long as my Brother Shaoyang goes up to persuade her, it will always work. ”
Ye Xiaoqing was slightly stunned when she heard this, and whispered "Oh!", then her eyes sank and she stopped talking. Seeing her like this, Shui Xuanling thought that it was her own words that made her unhappy, so she turned sideways and talked to her.
Shui Xuanling is a straightforward character, and the past is forgotten in a blink of an eye. After a while, not only did she chat happily with Ye Xiaoqing, but even with the two singers she just talked to, she was also very funny.
The night view of the Qinhuai Inland River, when you sit in the boat and look at it, it has a special meaning. The boats and bridges in the water are staggered, light and dark, and the pavilions on the shore are extended, and the lights are brilliant. Liu Shaoyang and Xiao Hei sat on one side, served fine wine, drank each other, and looked at the night view of the two sides of the strait outside the boat.
After a while, Xiao Hei pointed to a place on the shore where the crowd was crowded and the lights were shining, and said strangely: "Brother Shaoyang, what kind of place is that, why is it so much more lively than other places?"
Liu Shaoyang looked in the direction of his finger, and saw a blue-tiled pavilion, a corridor and an ancestral temple, where the lanterns were shining brightly from far and near, juggling and selling one after another, and people inside and outside were crowded. He said with a smile: "That's the Gongyuan and the Confucius Temple! During the day, it is where the scholars are, and at night, it is a good place to watch the excitement!"
While speaking, in the lamp market of Confucius Temple, two colorful lanterns of several zhang square were hung high upwards, which attracted bursts of applause from visitors. Xiao Hei couldn't close his mouth through the window, and his excitement was beyond words.
Two singers wearing gauze skirts and light shirts also took out the singing board at this time. One of the girls with a goose egg face asked, "Guest officers, do you want to listen to some tunes?"
Ye Xiaoqing's expression was gloomy, and he said softly: "Sister Xuanling, you are all Xiaoqing's great benefactors, and you will leave tomorrow." When we get together, Xiaoqing won't do anything else, so I will sing a few songs to you with the sound of the two girls here!"
Shui Xuanling was also very reluctant, and whispered: "A song, taking advantage of the clear stream of this lamp shaking the cigarette rope, must be beautiful." Xiaoqing, you can sing it!" Liu Shaoyang and Xiaohei on the side heard Ye Xiaoqing say that they wanted to sing a song, and they also applauded happily.
Ye Xiaoqing straightened his clothes and temples, and said a few words to the two singers. In a moment, the two of them played the sheng pipe, and the other stroked the yaoqin. Ye Xiaoqing picked up his pipa alone, plucked the strings and turned the shaft, the tune slowed down a few times, and gently opened the throat of the warbler and sang:
"The bridge is like a rainbow. Water is empty. A leaf drifts in the smoke and rain. The Heavenly Sect is called the release of Weng.
side canopy to make the river breeze. The crab house is jagged and the fishing market is east. When the time comes, the twilight bell will be heard. ”
"Jade is cool, jade is cool. If you listen to the song, you must break your intestines, and you will be suspended from teaching and become sideburns.
Draw the west of the bridge, draw the east of the bridge. There are tears that are clear and clear, how to keep the drunkard. ”
The tone is melodious, soft and beautiful, with a hint of sadness in the cry of Zigui. Liu Shaoyang heard that these were two "Sauvignon Blanc" poems by the literati of the Southern Song Dynasty, the first one was written by Lu Fangweng, which was said to be the twilight waterscape in the south of the Yangtze River, and the latter one was written by Liu Guangzu, which was a poignant parting feeling.
He didn't expect Ye Xiaoqing to sing so much that the love words were intertwined, and they were as beautiful as this. Even though he himself has always been open-minded, he can't help but feel slightly sad along with the tune.
Ye Xiaoqing sang two songs, and sang new words. Later, Liu Shaoyang was moved to hear it, and then he was drunk, and couldn't help but sing softly.
Everyone listened to the song like this, and fell into a dream. The warm wind is intoxicating, the moon is in the sky, the scenery on both sides of the strait has never been seen enough, Qinhuai in the city of ten miles, but the painting boat has turned two nearly back and forth, and sailed towards the ferry.
Liu Shaoyang was slightly drunk, and gradually felt that it was not too early, and Ye Xiaoqing had already sung the last song at this time:
"There is no one in the Rigao Deep Courtyard, and the poplar flowers are warm in spring. The palindrome was not finished, the needle was silent, and the embroidery bed leaned all over. The green is incense, the green beard is greasy, and the spring is resentful. All the clouds, mountains and smoke, a wisp of tenderness, and secretly chasing, the golden saddle is far away. Luan Pei met very often, like back then, Liu Lang Xianyuan. With the appointment behind the shoulder, the thrush is new and ingenious, and it has never been used to it. The sound of the pillow falling hairpin, the curtain opening the swallow language, and the wind and clouds are scattered. It's very vague and hard to remember, in the heavens on earth, there is a fate to see again. ”
This song is lined with the high and low twists of the pipa, the plucking is slow and urgent, and the pianos and sheng on both sides are intertwined. At the end of the song, although there was still a lot of noise on both sides of the river, Liu Shaoyang and the three of them seemed to be in the silence of Wan Lai. Only the moon is clear, wrapped in the light of the lamps and candles in the painting boat, showing a sense of tranquility, forgetting this day and night.
In the morning light of Jinling City in midsummer, there are rare wisps of cool breeze. On the pier outside the Jinchuan Gate in the north of the city, Liu Shaoyang and the three of them were standing by the ferry boat that was about to anchor, waving goodbye to Ye Xiaoqing.
Shui Xuanling slapped the side of the boat and shouted crisply: "Little Qing girl, if you have time to go to Huai'an Mansion in the future, don't forget to find your Sister Xuanling!"
Xiao Hei also shouted: "If you come another day, we will also take you to see the mountains and lakes of Lianghuai!"
When Liu Shaoyang left, he didn't know what to say, so he just smiled at Ye Xiaoqing.
The boatman drank the trumpet, lifted anchor offshore, and sailed out towards the opposite shore. Ye Xiaoqing, who had tears in the corners of her eyes by the river, and the Yangliufang Pavilion on the shore beside her, as well as the towering city behind her, gradually faded away and blurred, and she could no longer see clearly.
