40 panaches

Anti-theft chapter, replaced after eleven o'clock, the following excerpt is from the author's short story - "How to know that spring is like a promise"

"Sir, it's here."

Zhao Jingmo came back to his senses, the rickshaw had arrived at the door of the house, he lifted the suitcase, paid for the car, and the dark-skinned coachman continued: "Mr. is a scholar, the school has not been peaceful recently." ”

Zhao Jingmo smiled and didn't answer, he hadn't worn a tunic for a while, and he was really a little unaccustomed to taking off his school uniform without glasses, but it was expected that some people still recognized him.

It seems that there is no place to post his portrait.

When he entered the house, Aunt Seven came to greet him in person, wearing the most popular dark blue cheongsam, and said with a smile while twisting her waist like a water snake: "I have already received the words of the master, young master, even if you live here, don't worry, those group of officers and soldiers do not dare to be presumptuous in Aunt Seven." ”

After saying that, she was about to take the luggage from Zhao Jingmo's hand, but after being stopped by the other party, she laughed dryly a few times, and continued as if she was round: "Ouch, they don't look at it, but what is hanging at the door of the seventh aunt is the flat that General Li personally mentioned back then, don't say that you are taking the lead in the demonstration this time, even if you kill someone, who has the courage to break in." ”

Zhao Jingmo didn't reply, he didn't know any General Li, but he had heard of it, and he sold a few thin noodles in black and white locally. To this day, he has had to borrow the place of the seventh aunt to take refuge, his father's aunts, he looked down on the seventh aunt the most, vulgar powder, sophisticated and sleek, not to mention that he was engaged in the work of serving people in his early years, but even so, what can he do, after the parade failed, his Zhao Jingmo's scenery and dignity are just like the autumn scenery in this courtyard, a depression.

Autumn?

He pointed to the clusters of splendidly blooming peonies in the courtyard, and asked with a look of surprise: "Aunt Seven, how is this peony ......?"

Seeing the young master talking to herself, the seventh aunt was simply flattered, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, yes, in previous years, it was defeated at this time, and this year I don't know why, I don't thank you for a long time, presumably it is expected that the young master will come, so I want you to have a glimpse of the flowers." ”

Zhao Jingmo ignored it, he looked at the peony, the color was pure, white as snow, and smart as jade; In the withered yellow leaves in the sky, it is full of vitality and a scene of its own, and even in the air, there is a faint sweet floral fragrance.

"Young master, your room is in front, I found a few careful girls to clean up yesterday, the quilts and sheets are all brand new." Aunt Seven trotted in front to lead the way, and after a detour in the corridor, she pushed open the door of a room, which was elegantly furnished, and the four treasures and bookshelves in the study room were all prepared, and it was clear at a glance that she was currying favor with Zhao Jingmo, and deliberately came according to his preferences.

Zhao Jingmo nodded, quite satisfied with this house, he put down his luggage, turned around and said to the seventh aunt who was still standing behind him: "You go out, go back to dinner time and call me." ”

Before leaving, Aunt Qi said a few more irrelevant words with a smiling face, and then closed the door.

Suddenly cleared, as if he could finally relax, Zhao Jingmo couldn't help but breathe heavily, he looked around, and gradually his eyes were moist and hot, he can have a place to live now, but several classmates in the prison don't know if they are okay, thinking of this, he really regrets not being arrested with them, but thinking about parting, the classmates held his hand, firm eyes, and the same firm hope: "Jingmo, if we sacrifice, the rise of New China must contribute to us." ”

Behind the crowd was the roaring gunfire.

Zhao Jingmo smiled bitterly, walked to the window, took a pen, and wrote the word "forbearance" on a white piece of paper, right now, he can't go back to school, and he is a fugitive, and this future can no longer be described as "worrying".

Suddenly the song jumps out:

"Come into the garden and see! Gallery gold dust is half scattered

Ah, Miss, it's a goldfish pond

The pond is mossy and green

Treading grass is afraid of mud and new embroidered socks

Cherish the flowers and hurt the little golden bell

Haruka: I don't come to the garden

How do you know that spring is as promised

Is

It turned out that the purple and red bloomed all over

It's like this, it's all going to be broken

The beautiful scenery of the good day is not a day

……”

The sound of glamour, intermittent, Zhao Jingmo frowned, thinking that the seventh aunt sang a song in her own room, and the national disaster was at the head, he was very disgusted with these lazy behaviors, but for some reason he suddenly thought of Du Liniang in the song, who was originally a figure representing new ideas in that dynasty; Retracting his thoughts, Zhao Jingmo realized that there were more lines of words written by himself on the paper: how do you know that spring is as promised.

At dinner time, the seventh aunt sitting opposite him didn't dare to pick up vegetables for him, so she had to push the good dishes in front of him, and said with a smile on her face: "Taste, the cook in the seventh aunt's house is no worse than your own family." ”

Zhao Jingmo took a bite of food, and pretended to ask casually: "Aunt Seven sang "The Peony Pavilion" before?" ”

"Don't laugh at Aunt Seven, I'm old, I can't sing anymore, I haven't opened my voice for several years."

Zhao Jingmo stopped his chopsticks, he thought it was Aunt Seven who didn't want to admit it, but when he looked at it, under the heavy fat powder on Aunt Seven's face, there were obviously subtle wrinkles that couldn't be hidden, thinking that his father had been marrying Aunt Seven for a little years, he couldn't help but start to be suspicious.

At night, the original singing became clearer and clearer, and after Zhao Jingmo put down the book and turned off the lights and went to bed, the singing was even more noisy, with gongs and drums ringing in unison, as if a troupe had been invited from the courtyard.

Zhao Jingmo put on her coat unhappily, why did this seventh aunt disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night.

Opened the door suddenly, a gust of wind struck, it was as warm as spring, mixed with the petals of the sky, and the fragrance was overflowing; When he fixed his eyes, in the curling clouds, a tower like the sky was appearing in front of him.

"Yuyan both surround Cuixuan, butterflies fly and dance, and the music is endless

Thousands of flowers compete for beauty, and the green willows are delicate and leaning on the poolside with the wind

Worried about the changes of the years, once glamorous and smoky, sighing that the spring is fleeting

……”

A young woman who looks like she is twenty-eight, dressed in a dusty white cheongsam, with light makeup on her delicate eyebrows and eyes, frowning and frowning, and indescribable thousands of styles; She stood in the clouds, her body sprinkled with cold moonlight, her orchid fingers upturned, her thin arms raised, a few steps and a turn, singing babbling tunes. Behind her, sat a row of girls of the same age, with the same hair in a bun, and musical instruments in their hands, who were accompanying the singing women.

This song and this scenery can only be seen in a dream. Zhao Jingmo walked forward in a daze, and did not notice that her coat had fallen off, and when the woman sang a sentence "Spring is sultry and intoxicating, and the peony pavilion sleeps with flowers", Jingmo, who has always been insensitive to opera and is not good at it, actually said ghostly:

"Like a butterfly, flying over the green water temple and flying to the depths of the courtyard,

Go to the plain heart jade face, gently walk to the stone pavilion,

Witnessing the shadow of the flower sleeping, the fragrance is secretly transmitted, and the gods are drunk,

loves her more decently, and is so happy that she is close to the fairy letter

The woman was not surprised that someone was there, and sang the next few words, both of them stood in the center of the stage, and Jingmo continued to sing: "You don't have to cover your face with an incense fan, you are really famous for your beauty and beauty, and it is upside down to see you today." ”

"Hugh is full of vulgar words, I am a famous lady" The woman laughed before she finished singing this paragraph, she couldn't make that shy and angry appearance, she invited Zhao Jingmo to sit aside and drink tea, and the action of making tea was skillful. The purple sand tea set placed is beautiful, and when the fragrance of tea wafts out, the surrounding drum music stops and is replaced by a crisp pipa sound.

Zhao Jingmo thanked politely and asked the woman in front of her, "Is this my dream?" ”

The woman sneered, and in an instant the peonies all over the ground opened, and she replied, "What is a dream?" Zhou Gong dreams of butterflies. The butterfly is Zhou Gong. ”

Faced with Zhao Jingmo's confusion, the woman stood up, she only thought she was very beautiful before, but now when she took a closer look, she was really dazzling and her temperament was unparalleled, she pointed to the surroundings and said: "You can choose to stay here, you see, there is no turmoil here; Here the four seasons are reincarnated, and the grains are abundant; Everyone is free, but everyone is equal.

"Of course," the woman leaned down, kissed Zhao Jingmo's cheek lightly, and whispered like a sigh, "You can also sing this "Garden Dream" with me every day." ”

Suddenly there was a moment of silence in the world, the broken moonlight sparkling, drunk with the bustling sea of flowers.

"But "Peony Pavilion", I prefer Du Liniang's first solo visit to the garden." Zhao Jingmo smiled slightly, the meaning of the smile was naturally clear, he rejected the temptation of the woman, although the feeling of playing against the woman was very wonderful, but at least "Butterfly and Zhou Gong", he has always understood it.

I didn't expect someone to give up beauty and enjoyment, the woman's expression was stunned, and after being stunned for a moment, she laughed out loud with relief, sat down and poured tea for Jingmo, and said in a heroic tone, "I thought that in the duet just now, Mr. would fall in love with me at first sight." Since my husband rejected me and insisted that it was just a dream, did you think that after leaving here, the next fate would be a cold prison and a cold bullet? ”

"'If you don't come to the garden, how can you know that spring is like a promise', Du Liniang came to the garden for the first time, and the old and the new stirred in her heart. I am a person who is not fascinated by opera, but it is not only her who is moved by this. Zhao Jingmo drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, and the meaning of leaving was written on her face, and the woman was not in a hurry, and said leisurely: "There are three major temptations in the world, among which the beauty in the secret room and the windfall Mr. Fortune are not shaken, and the little woman feels admired and wants to give Mr. a parting gift." ”
