Chapter 203: The Music of Parting (1)
[Ran^文^Library][]. []. On this day, the Nine Kings' Mansion is full of lights, the pearls are like a column, and the house is up and down, a lively scene. (Ran Library (7764))
In front of the gate, all kinds of luxury carriages are parked here, stepping in a team, regardless of the flying snow, the entire Dajin dignitaries and nobles are gathered here to congratulate the festival celebration!
The piano and music ceremony is the annual festival custom of the Great Jin Dynasty, although it is the supremacy of martial arts, but the book of cultural and musical rites is still indispensable, a country, relying only on the military generals can only be outside, only the combination of civil and military, in order to stabilize the country.
And this ceremony is also from this!
Martial arts and music as a gift have been the tradition of the Great Jin feast for countless years.
"It turned out to be Lord Zhang, please inside, please ...... inside" Lin Qian, who was sent by Lin Feng to greet him, stood at the gate and rubbed his frozen hands, with a smile on his face, and invited a court minister to the mansion.
When I turned around, I saw a carriage with a red tent stopped at the door, and before the carriage could stop, a hearty laugh came from inside: "Oh, Brother Lin Wang, why are you stationed in the wind and snow to welcome guests, I am really ashamed!" ”
When Lin Qian heard this, he immediately guessed who was coming, so he greeted him with a smile, "The wind and snow welcome guests are deeply meaningful, Brother Gongsun Wang has really not seen you for a long time." ”
"Where, where," as the words fell, the tent was opened, and the next handsome young king walked away, it was Gongsun Ming, since the previous coming-of-age ceremony, the relationship between several kings and grandsons was much better than before.
Now that Lin Qian greeted him in person, Gongsun Ming was a little flattered, he was Lin Immortal Master's own brother, and he could let Immortal Master's younger brother take over the dust, could he not be surprised?
"I haven't seen you for a few months, Brother Lin Qianwang is really unharmed." Gongsun Ming clenched his fists and smiled, he raised his eyes and saw that the house was busy, and suddenly his heart moved, and he asked in a low voice, "I heard that Xuan'er will attend the ceremony this time, is it true?" ”
The corners of Lin Qian's eyes were slightly curved, and his eyebrows were raised, "That's nature, Xuan'er has a zither in one hand, and she can play it well, it can be described as a heavenly immortal, and it is difficult to find it on the ground!" Brother Gongsun Wang, you just wait and see. ”
"That's really exciting."
"Brother Gongsun Wang, the wind and snow outside are too big, so let's go to the mansion and sit down." Lin Qian was afraid that he would miss the matter, so he hurriedly welcomed him in again.
Gongsun Ming entered the house with his fists, Lin Qian guarded outside the door alone for a while, and saw that the wind and snow were stronger, and there was no one on the street, and when he wanted to leave, he saw a man in a coat and a hood from a distance, walking alone in the wind and snow.
It was towards the Nine Kings' Mansion.
"This is the ......," he seemed familiar, but the snow was so heavy that the weather was so cold that he couldn't see who was coming for a while.
The man stepped forward, saluted Lin Qian, and said, "The villain is the entourage of Lord Zhang, the assassin of the Eastern Mansion, and the carriage was in a hurry just now and failed to catch up, and I hope that the lord will be accommodating." ”
Lin Qian remembered that there was indeed a Master Zhang just now, and there were many adults with the surname Zhang in the court, but he didn't know which assassin he was talking about.
There was no malice in this man, he had been standing in the wind and snow for a long time, and he finally greeted everyone, and his whole body was cold, where did he care if it was true or false, he waved his hand at will, and ran back with a smoke.
When he was far away, the man ripped off his hood, revealing a clear and resolute cheek, but he was a little helpless, "Lin Qian, it's great to see you again, I'm just here to see Xuan'er, for many reasons, I can't recognize you at this time, I'm sorry!" ”
Lin Ning muttered, put the hood on his head, and walked in.
……
In the courtyard, the shelter is sheltered from the snow, the banquet is swinging, the wind and snow are rumbling outside, but the inside is extremely lively.
The wine seat is set up, and the wide courtyard is already bustling, and the nobles of the court from all walks of life gather here to greet each other.
The housekeepers are busy delivering food and wine, and at the top of the courtyard, a red carpet stage has been set up, with musical instruments on the stage, from the guzheng to the recorder, from the long Xiao to the pipa, all of which are listed here.
Three dragon chairs were set up on the high platform directly opposite the stage, and the officials were still talking and laughing, when they saw a dragon man wearing a bright yellow imperial robe, sitting down calmly, it was the emperor who was seated.
On the field, it suddenly fell silent.
Hundreds of officials bowed their heads and said in unison: "Long live my emperor." ”
Lin Ning mixed in the crowd, dressed as a family member, but no one recognized him, he looked down at the emperor, and suddenly remembered the fortune of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and he couldn't help but feel ashamed in his heart.
Nowadays, it seems that the emperor has a blessed face, and after he takes away that bit of luck, I am afraid it will not have much impact.
I was also a little relieved.
"Aiqing is flat!" Emperor Chrysostom Yukai and hundreds of officials stood, and he looked at the Nine Kings Mansion family led by the crowd, and the smile on his face was even worse.
"King Jingxian, do you know why this year's Qin Music Ceremony will be held in your Nine Princes' Mansion?" The Emperor sat down again and asked slowly.
Lin Feng, who was at the head of the crowd, was stunned for a moment, a little unclear, and hurriedly knelt down, "Forgive the minister, the minister doesn't know the sage's carelessness!" ”
The emperor waved his hand, motioned for him to get up, and sighed: "The qin music ceremony is a traditional day, and it should be held in the palace to celebrate the festival, but your son Lin Ning has become an immortal and is my life-saving benefactor. ”
"He has lived in the Nine Kings Mansion for many years, and I am afraid that there is a little immortal energy stored here, bringing you all here, and also letting you get the qi of the immortal master, in order to seek happiness and well-being."
The first sentence was okay, but the latter sentence almost made Lin Ning laugh on the spot, what kind of Ming Hall is this emperor doing, he has indeed lived in the Nine Princes' Mansion for many years, but that is as a mortal, how can he leave a fairy spirit?
Even if there is immortality, it can't be in the main courtyard, and it should be in the back mountain bamboo forest.
However, the nine princes, all the kings and grandsons were present, and when he saw that everything was okay with you, the last trace of worry in his heart disappeared.
So you can leave with peace of mind!
"Thank you for your kindness." Lin Tian carried the family and thanked him.
"I see that the time is almost up, please sit down, today the monarchs and ministers gather, no need to be polite, you Aiqing can drink happily!"
He said a word, all the officials sat down together, the wine and food were noisy, and the sound of pushing the glass and changing the lamp was endless.
After a while, Lin Feng walked to the stage and preached to everyone: "Holy Longen, you have the love of all officials, come to the humble house, and next, the piano ceremony will start now." ”
When this sound fell, two young girls serving in palace costumes stepped onto the stage, and after the ceremony, the two of them each held a pipa and played it gently.
Suddenly, the clear rhythm of the music floated in the courtyard, and everyone was fascinated by it, I don't know how many!
At the same time, Lin Ning retreated, and he, who had been looking for Xuan'er's figure, suddenly saw the slender figure behind the stage.
Rose's long skirt, green clothes and slight Chang, extremely beautiful, "Xuan'er! The trembling voice, this glance, made Lin Ning feel like he had been separated for 10,000 years.
Thoughts are like a tide, surging, and feelings are like wisps, even if they are broken, they can't be broken!
Now seeing her again, dressed in wealth and dignity, with a jade basket and a flower bun, Lin Ning knows that he must not appear in front of her, and he must not disturb Xuan'er's life.
Lin Ning was very glad that he had made a very right choice. "Lin Qian, take care of Xuan'er." He exhaled, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and let him sit down slowly behind the people, leaning against the wall.
Xuan'er behind the stage, nervously holding the guzheng, a little cramped and uneasy.
Lin Qian came to her side, patted her shoulder gently, and comforted: "It's okay, you must be fine, you are already extremely talented in piano music, and with the practice of these days, it will definitely surprise everyone present." ”
"Hmm...... I'll do my best. Xuan'er looked at each other, closed her eyes, and took several deep breaths in a row, but it was the moment she opened her eyes.
She seemed to see the person she wanted to see in her dreams......
