Chapter Seventy-Seven: Goodbye Mei Niang
The Moon Viewing Pavilion is surrounded by a circle of half-hanging palace veils, with faintly patterned white palace veils, and round pearls falling at the hem, because of the weight of this fall, the wind blowing from the edge of the Taiye Pool in the distance only makes this gauze curtain shake slightly like water waves. The light palace veil www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" pavilion blocks the hot sunlight outside the pavilion, making the pavilion more shaded and private.
Li Ke and Concubine Yang came back to their senses in the sound of the Zheng that implied a reminder from the merchants, and the merchants who were sitting in front of them calmly continued to tune the strings as if they hadn't found anything.
"I wonder what song my mother wants to hear?" Shang Shang tightened the strings of the zither and raised his eyes slightly to ask Concubine Yang.
"I heard Ke'er mention, you have sung many good tunes in Luoyang Fang, and there is one song that Ke'er likes the most, called Yijian Mei, right?" Concubine Yang picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip to hide her gaffe, but her eyes looked at the serene face of the merchant with appreciation, and even the pendant on the glazed beauty hairpin inserted in the simple bun on her head did not shake a little.
The businessman didn't expect Li Ke to inform Concubine Yang about this, but after thinking about it, he was relieved that Li Ke was Concubine Yang's son, and it was common for him to tell the old owner of Yunshuifang that he had an old mother.
"Niangniang has won the award, the businessman is really ashamed, if the mother wants to listen, the businessman should play for the mother." After speaking, the merchant didn't say anything more, raised his wrist lightly, hung down on the zither strings, and slowly began to play.
"The red lotus fragrance remnants of the jade in autumn, lightly relieve Luo Shang, and go on the Lanzhou alone
Who in the clouds sends the brocade book, when the goose word returns, the moon is full in the west building
Flowers float and water flow freely, a kind of lovesickness, two sorrows
There is no way to eliminate this situation, so I frowned, but I was in my heart"
This song, Shang Shang is already familiar, now I see Yang Fei and sigh a little bit of her bleak and lonely, the sound of the Zheng played is more ethereal and lonely in it, it really seems that the autumn leaves have fallen, the red has fallen in the deep season, a bleak affection through the piano, lingering, with Shang Shang's slightly faint singing, that seems to be plain but deep, but there is nowhere to complain The emotion was interpreted by Shang Shang and Shang to three points, Yang Concubine couldn't help but listen to it.
"It's a good one to frown, but it's in my heart! Concubine Yang, you are really blessed today, can you allow Mei Niang to listen to a good song? ”
Concubine Yang and Li Ke, who were in a daze, looked at the voice, but saw a group of five people turning from the front yard, but the pretty woman who went first was not Wu Meiniang, who was it?
When the merchant turned his head to look, he combed a fallen horse bun, obliquely inserted a jade step, dressed in a light green palace dress, and Wu Meiniang, who was dressed extremely elegantly, smiled and led the palace maid to step on the stone steps of the Moon Viewing Pavilion.
"Slaves, maids, merchants, and merchants, see martial artists." The merchant hurriedly got up and saluted Wu Meiniang, different from the previous moment of salutation, she was sincere in this salute, as the only woman in Chinese history who ascended to the throne, no matter what her merits and demerits, she is also worthy of respect!
"Excuse me!" Wu Meiniang stepped forward and stretched out her hand to support the businessman, with a pair of watery eyes revealing some love.
"The last time I saw you in Luoyang, I felt that you were very spiritual, and I didn't want to be able to make this song, the words are shallow and affectionate, and the woman's heart is sung so clearly, it is a good word!" Wu Meiniang patted the hand of the businessman, listening to this song, which made her suddenly remember the original affair with Li Ke, but now, the original story is no longer the same.
"Li Ke has seen martial artists!" Li Ke bowed slightly to Wu Meiniang, the woman in front of him with eyebrows like distant mountains, red lips and white teeth, and a faint pure state, was his childhood sweetheart's playmate, but now she has become the concubine of her father, although she is only a talented person, but in the end she is also an elder, even if she is younger than Li Ke, Li Ke has to salute her.
"His Royal Highness King Wu, please get up, Mei Niang doesn't dare to accept it." Wu Meiniang looked at Li Ke who bent down towards her with some sadness, how long has it been? The distance between her and him is almost the end of the world!
She had to put on a light smile in an instant to hide the sadness in her eyes. It turns out that if the mask is worn for a long time, it will also become another face on the body, and make different expressions according to your command, without any mistakes! But my heart is cold, as if I am immersed in ice water, even if it is dog days, it is cold to the bone!
"Mei Niang, come and sit down with me, and listen to the businessmen sing for a while, I really like her singing!" Concubine Yang smiled and squinted slightly, beckoning Mei Niang to sit beside her, this woman with a beautiful face often came to her palace to see her, and talked to her to relieve her boredom, sometimes when Ke'er was there, she was not shy about it, from her eyes when she looked at Ke'er, she could see her thoughts, but she still didn't mind interacting with Mei Niang. Some people are far safer to keep in front of their eyes than in places they can't see.
"I wonder what else I want to listen to?" The merchant waited for the three of them to sit down again, and then pressed the strings.
"After listening to your singing, this palace also believes in your ability, and it doesn't matter what kind of tune! Sing wherever you want, and if you're tired of playing and singing, take a break and let's talk. Concubine Yang was so angry that she took Mei Niang's hand sitting on the side, glanced at Li Ke, and saw that he didn't look at Wu Meiniang, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, as long as Li Ke had no intention, she definitely had a way to make Mei Niang have no chance!
"Yes! Empress! Shang Shang lowered his head slightly, answered softly, raised his hand to stroke the strings of the zither, and casually played the common tunes he had learned in the workshop, and faded himself into complete background music.
Li Ke waited for Wu Meiniang to sit firmly, and got up out of suspicion and said: "Ke still has business to do, so he won't accompany his mother and concubine, and Ke will retire first." ”
Mei Niang saw that he was leaving, and subconsciously moved her body, wanting to keep him, but suddenly woke up that she was in the palace, so she had to swallow the words that came to her mouth, sat down beside Concubine Yang again, lowered her head and smiled self-deprecatingly, knowing that it was impossible, she also wanted to forget herself, but some people have long been engraved in the depths of their souls, and if they want to give up, they will be bloody and painful!
Watching Mei Niang's gaze follow Li Ke with cold eyes, and seeing him leave, the merchant sighed imperceptibly, love! It will always be an unbearable death in a woman's life!
Gently picking the zither strings, the merchant changed a soft and soothing song "Linjiang Immortal", this song has always been her favorite, Yan Jidao's freshness has always been very her heart, after a period of passing the door, the merchant opened his mouth and sang softly: "After the dream, the building is locked, and the curtain hangs low when you wake up." When the spring hatred came last year, the falling flowers were independent, and the light rain **. I remember the first time I saw Xiao Apple, the two hearts of the word Luo Yi, the pipa strings said lovesickness, when the bright moon was there, and the clouds returned. ”
This song, the merchant specially chose a palace tune to match, take its melodious and tactful and tranquil soft, and this phrase can really be said to complement each other, with the clear singing voice of the merchant and the merchant, it is like a flowing spring, meandering through people's hearts, with a trace of warm water, and in an instant people's hearts will flow up.
"At that time, the bright moon was there, and I was returning to the ---- according to the colorful clouds" Concubine Yang muttered in a low voice, and the hand holding Wu Meiniang gradually tightened, almost pinching into the flesh of her palm.
Wu Meiniang turned her head slightly unconsciously, looking at the direction of Li Ke's departure, her eyes were foggy, and the bright moon in her ears trembled slightly unconsciously, like the restless heart in her chest, churning slightly one by one, refusing to be peaceful.
Shang Shang looked at the two women in front of him who were caught in his thoughts, did not speak, just played the song over and over again, singing this gentle word over and over again, but the sigh in his heart became deeper and deeper!
In the aftermath, Shang Shang pressed the strings of the zither, stopped all the notes abruptly, sat on the stool, and quietly looked at the two silent women, a pair of apricot eyes sparkling. These are two women who are equally lonely, equally lonely! Waiting for that one or several times of luck, he bloomed all his elegance in this deep palace that no one appreciated, and when he turned his head to look, the blooming youth had already been silently buried in this deep palace.
After a long time, Concubine Yang came back to her senses, and chuckled in a trance: "Shangshang! Merchants! I've heard your tunes, how do you make me listen to other people again? Isn't that why I want to be more and more lonely in this palace? ”
"! Can I borrow pen and paper? Gently stroking her palm, Wu Meiniang, who was silent on the side, suddenly spoke.
"Ziyi, get a pen and paper." Concubine Yang glanced at Wu Meiniang a little apologetically, and finally didn't ask, just turned her head and whispered to Ziyi, who was standing on the side and listening.
"Yes! Empress. Ziyi came back to his senses and agreed, and only took a moment to get a pen and paper.
Mei Niang relied on her memory to write down the merchant's words on the paper, and when she finished writing, she picked it up and blew the ink, and handed it to the merchant: "Merchant, look at it, are there any mistakes or omissions?" ”
When the merchant took it, he saw that on the snow-white tribute paper, the neatly written "Linjiang Immortal" he had just sung, the font was extraordinarily atmospheric, not at all like the beauty of the ordinary boudoir woman, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it seems that Wu Meiniang can listen to the government for no reason! Even her words don't look like they're written by women!
Nodding to Wu Meiniang, indicating that there was nothing wrong with what she wrote, the merchant handed the paper back to Wu Meiniang.
"Martial arts people are really smart, and they can write it down word for word after only listening to Shang Shang sing it twice, which is really rare!" Concubine Yang praised on the side, and the smile on her face made the twilight on her face fade a little.
"Mei Niang is ashamed! I really like this song. Wu Meiniang smiled shyly, turned her head to Shang Shang and said: "I really like this poem, so let me bring this painting back to the palace, okay?" I want to frame it and hang it up. ”
"Martial arts are loved, how dare businessmen disobey?" Shang Shang smiled lightly and looked at the happy Wu Meiniang in front of her, she was like a child who had obtained a treasure, her eyes narrowed with a smile, and the innocent color in her eyes that had not faded was revealed at this time.
"You're so kind, just write one for me!" Concubine Yang chuckled and nodded Wu Meiniang's forehead, Wu Meiniang nodded with a smile, for reasons of loving the house and Wu, she has always been particularly concerned about Concubine Yang.
Wu Meiniang copied it again, asked the merchant again, and wrote the song card at the head, and then stopped. Ziyi, who was waiting on the side, didn't need paper and pencil anymore, so he took the little palace maids to remove the things on the table, leaving the three of them sitting in the pavilion drinking tea and looking at the scenery.
After chatting for a while, Wu Meiniang and Shang Shang saw that Concubine Yang was a little tired, and the traces of exhaustion in their eyes became more and more obvious, so they resigned together, and the two talked all the way, very well, until they left Concubine Yang's palace, the two parted ways, and when they broke up, Mei Niang also specially instructed Shang Shang to come to see her more if he entered the palace to perform dances, and he would find an opportunity to let her feast her ears! Shang Shang agreed with a smile, and then broke up with her and went back to Changyin Garden.
