Chapter 3: Lyrics (I)

The moon rises in the spring river, and the embankment is flat, and the girls on the embankment walk together. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Singing all the new words, the red window reflects the partridges in the trees.

……

On the shore of Chunping Lake, the singing is lingering, and most of the songs are folk songs.

Every year on September 9, a large group of unmarried men and women gather at Chunping Lake, who stand across the bank with a heaven-given voice, attracting the future partner with their singing.

It's the middle of autumn, and the summer heat has not completely subsided, and there are still a few cicadas chirping in the treetops, which makes people annoyed.

It was just after evening, and the residual heat of the day was still in the air, but where did the laughter and coquettishness come from? It's like a silver bell, and people can't help but want to find out and see whose girl is laughing and playing here.

Ask the next person, oh, it's September 9 of another year, no wonder it's so lively, then pack up and take your wife to Chunping Lake to join in the fun, when Mrs. also saw his voice to marry him, I don't know how the current life compares with him then.

On either side of the shore stood a group of young men and women, and the women were pretty and pretty, and they got a burst of applause before they could open their throats.

The people of the Cangyi tribe were open, and the young men and women who heard the applause did not feel embarrassed, but raised their heads and chests, and their faces were determined to win.

On September 9, singing love songs on the shore of Chunping Lake is a custom left by the ancestors, which has been passed down for thousands of years.

Why are there only unmarried men and women? That's another thing worth talking about.

……

A hundred years ago, most of the people of the Cangyi tribe made a living by cultivating farmland, and although there were also people who were attracted by the outside world and were drawn out of their family tree, most of them chose to stay here to raise them.

Chunping Lake has always been the most lively place for the Cangyi people, but there was no custom of boarding the bow of the ship on September 9 a hundred years ago.

Chunping Lake is very large, and in the past, it was surrounded by farmland, and the lake water could be directly irrigated into the fields, which saved a lot of effort for the tribesmen.

The people of the Cangyi tribe love to sing the most, and from time to time they can hear the singing sound from afar while farming in the fields. ”

September 9 is the annual duet song contest of the Cangyi clan, each family will send a few representatives to participate, the little daughter of the Yun family, Yun Zhanshu, is the pride of the Yun family, this is not Yun Zhanshu but beautiful, singing and singing is something that every household knows, plus there is always a group of delicate little sisters around Yun Zhanshu, which attracts the attention of the Cangyi clan.

Yun Zhanshu was born to be proud of capital, she didn't want to obey her father's arrangement to marry a man she didn't like, so she was coquettish to her father, Yun Zhanshu's mother was not satisfied with this marriage, if it wasn't for the old man who drank too much, where would he pull people on the street to get married, I didn't expect the man's mother to be a shameless person, every time he went to his house to mention this matter, his mother sat at the door of her house, and began to cry and scold her mother, when the people around her looked over one by one, Mrs. Yun felt that she couldn't see people. However, Mrs. Yun couldn't grasp the man's handle, and every time she was angry, she wanted to vomit three liters of blood.

This time there is finally a legitimate reason to withdraw from the marriage, the man's surname is Yu, he is an outsider, and he has a little money at home, but the son of the Yu family is really useless, colluding with the rich and noble children in the city to tease the crickets, drink flower wine, and have nothing to do all day long. He also tried to sneak out, but every time he was chased and killed by Mrs. Yu's dog, he was so scared that he didn't dare to go to the Yun family anymore.

This time, Mrs. Yun came to the door and made a request, in the duet contest on September 9 this year, if Yu Gongzi won, the Yun family unconditionally agreed to marry her daughter, and also used the Yun family's thousands of acres of fertile land as a dowry, but if Yu Gongzi lost, she would withdraw from the marriage, Mrs. Yu hesitated, she knew that her son was born with incomplete five tones, but the conditions offered by the Yun family were really tempting, so she agreed for her son.

"Mother, you are crazy, your son can't sing, you know best, how can you make decisions for me casually, then Yun Zhanshu will grow into an old girl in two years and no one wants it, and when the time comes, the son will come to the door again to propose marriage, and their family is not going to marry their daughter to me obediently." Yu Wanzhou jumped to her feet angrily, who of the Cangyi clan didn't know that Yun Zhanshu had already made a marriage with him, how could the duck with her beak let her fly.

"But the Yun family said, if you win, there will be other dowries, and thousands of acres of fertile land will be added, my mother has thought about it for you, the Yun family said that as long as you win this competition, you will marry your daughter to you, but you didn't say that you can't find someone to replace you, don't panic, my mother will bring the best man who sings in the Cangyi clan, don't worry, Yun Zhanshu will be our family's daughter-in-law sooner or later, you can be happy."

As soon as Mrs. Yu finished speaking, the two of them laughed stupidly, as if they had seen a good day in the future beckoning to them not far away.

Mrs. Yu hired a young man for a large sum of money, discussed with him, and waited until September 9, he sang to Yun Zhanshu for his son.

On the ninth day of September, at ten o'clock in the evening, every family opened the door, and out of the door came out of the well-dressed girls and ladies, and many men put on the family clothes that they would not wear when they worked on weekdays, and went to Chunping Lake.

Yun Zhanshu was dressed in a green robe, laughing and playing with several little sisters and went to Chunping Lake, while Yu Wanzhou took a servant and followed behind them.

When the song competition began, no one rushed up to steal the limelight, but everyone was coaxing to see Miss Yun and Yu Gongzi singing against each other, but they couldn't resist the clansmen, Yun Zhanshu had to take a step forward and began to sing to Yu Wanzhou on the other side, "Hey~~, look at the other side of the river~"

The singing voice was like a yellow bird, but before Yun Zhanshu finished singing, there was a singing voice from the opposite side.

"Hey~~, the lady on the other side is so handsome~, hey, my brother is waiting for you at home~" If you are so romantic, Yun Zhanshu blushed, and pointed to the other side with one hand on her waist and the other hand, "Yu Wanzhou, you are really stinky and shameless, how can you find someone to sing for you, no, this doesn't count, you have the ability to come by yourself, what kind of ability is hiding behind others." ”

Yu Wanzhou gently shook the paper fan in her hand, spread her hands at Yun Zhan, and said with a scoundrel face, "I have never been capable, didn't Miss Yun always know?" ”

"You...... Let's go, this man is a scoundrel, a hooligan, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, let's go. ”

"Hey~, if you leave, you'll admit defeat, lady, don't forget to go back and prepare the dowry, tomorrow I will pick an auspicious day to carry you in." Yu Wanzhou stood behind the servant with a wicked smile on her face.

"Hey~~, it's September 9 of another year~, bullying men and women every year~, hey, ouch."

Where did this song come from? It's clear but a little ethereal, like a breeze blowing on your cheeks, you can't touch it but it's very comfortable.

From far to near, a young man in a blue-gray short coat was rowing with a long bamboo artemisia, completely disrupting the otherwise calm waters of Chunping Lake, and at the same time messing up Yun Zhanshu's heart.

"Who are you? Don't think that there is something in your words that Ben Gongzi can't hear, while Ben Gongzi is not angry, I advise you to kneel down and kowtow to Ben Gongzi quickly and confess your guilt. Yu Wanzhou raised her head and said to the young man with her nostrils.

"Everyone knows that Miss Yun has no affection for Yu Gongzi, but Yu Gongzi has been biting hard, and finally both parties reached an agreement on this transaction, but I didn't expect Yu Gongzi to find a stand-in in the end, such a bearing is really not what a man should do."

The young man stopped the bamboo artemisia that had slid in his hand and let the boat sway with the waves.

"Who do you think you are, dare to talk like this to Ben Gongzi." Yu Wanzhou's nostrils were about to rise to the sky, and she didn't look at the people on the lake at all.

"I'm just an ordinary fisherman, I'm really sorry to disturb you Yaxing, I just hope that Yu Gongzi won't pester Miss Yun anymore, otherwise, the wicked will have their own harvest." The young man re-paddled the bamboo artemisia, but he didn't expect Yun Zhanshu to fall into the lake because of a slip under his feet, Chunping Lake is deep, ordinary young children dare not play by the lake, even adults with good water properties only dare to wash clothes and wash their hands at the edge of the lake, watching Yun Zhanshu fall into the lake and drift farther and farther with the water waves, a cadre can only stand on the shore and do it in a hurry.

Yun Zhanshu thought she was going to die, she was afraid of water since she was a child, and her sisters usually wanted to teach her to float in the water, but she refused, but she didn't expect to fall into this Chunping Lake this time, and she was really not left behind.

I felt a pair of powerful hands around my waist, but my eyes were uncomfortably tight from the stimulation of the water, and I couldn't open them even if I wanted to, the man seemed to have been dragging himself upstream, but he held his breath for too long, and his lungs were already swollen uncomfortably, and he didn't know if he could go up alive.

"Wake up, wake up, everyone back a little, you surround the young lady too tightly, it will make her breathless."

With the voice of the maid Xiaolian in his ears, Yun Zhanshu opened his eyes slightly, some residual water droplets slipped into the corners of his eyes, and Yun Zhanshu closed his eyes uncomfortably.

"Miss, are you alright? You can scare Lian'er to death, Lian'er has already hired a doctor, and she will be here soon, Miss, don't sleep, wake up, open your eyes and look at Lian'er. Lian'er's tears burst out of her eyes and dripped on Yun Zhanshu's cheeks, because her eyes were still a little uncomfortable, Yun Zhanshu stretched out her hand and touched the top of Lian'er's hair around.

"Silly girl, I'm fine, but my eyes are a little uncomfortable, you can ask the doctor to take a good look at me later, come, tell me, who saved me?"

"It's the fisherman who just helped Miss scold Yu Wanzhou together, thanks to that fisherman, otherwise Miss would have died." Lian'er's voice was a little choked, and she hadn't gasped yet.

"He's gone?" There was no sound of him around, it should have been gone.

"Yes." Lian'er saw through the crowd the fisherman who had gone away.

Who is he? Where did you come from and where are you going?
