Chapter 36: Allusions
Yu Shi said: "There have always been many varieties of peonies, and there are many colors, with yellow, green, flesh red, dark red, silver red as the top grade, especially yellow and green, peony flowers are large and fragrant, so they are also known as 'national color and natural fragrance', so they feel that the peony flower means 'national color and natural fragrance' should refer to women. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Luo Gong had no objection to what Yu Shi said, but he felt that Yu Shi had not yet been able to say the most crucial point in "Distant Mountain Flower Pavilion", and sure enough, Yu Shi then pointed to the octagonal glazed pavilion on the picture scroll and said:
"My lord, can you see the name of this flower pavilion?"
Luo Gong nodded, Bing Wei and Lin Chong listened to Yu Shi and Luo Gong talking about painting, and couldn't help but step forward to look at each other, Bing Wei frowned at a glance, but Lin Chong didn't admit defeat, he just looked at it a few more times, and he couldn't believe it!
After more than ten breaths, Lin Chong admitted defeat:
"The painting on the flat forehead of the flower pavilion is much smaller, where can you see it clearly?"
Yu Shi said: "That's if you don't look carefully!" ”
There are three words on the flat forehead of the flower pavilion - Peony Pavilion.
Lin Chong was stunned: "Peony Pavilion? ”
Bing didn't hear this answer and muttered in his heart - it seems that he heard an allusion about the Peony Pavilion somewhere?
Luo Gong saw that Yu Shi really saw Guan Jian in "Distant Mountain Flower Pavilion", and when he saw that the word "Peony Pavilion" was vaguely written on the flat forehead of this flower pavilion, he remembered an allusion like Bing Wei:
"This peony pavilion has an allusion, and when I wanted to attach Ma Ye to give this painting to the shopkeeper Fang, I already had a deep meaning."
Yu Shi sighed: "But this deep meaning killed the shopkeeper Fang, and my ......"
Luo Gong said lightly: "Whether you come to the door or not, the life of the shopkeeper will not last long." ”
Because of this "Flower Pavilion in the Distant Mountains", the life of the shopkeeper Fang was hung in the air as early as when Zhong Qingchi sent him to paint, and he would die at any time.
Lin Chong heard Luo Gong say that there were allusions in the picture scroll, and saw that Yu Shi and Bing Wei both looked clear, and did not have the same questions as him, so he couldn't help asking:
"What other allusions can there be to this Peony Pavilion? Could it be related to the death of Shopkeeper Fang? ”
Lin Chong was really confused, he was not as smart as Yu Shi, nor was he like Bing Wei who often followed Luo Gong's side, and he could guess all the beards and tails from Luo Gong's words and half a sentence.
In fact, Lin Chong also overestimated Bingwei, he did not speculate the full meaning of Luo Gong's allusion, he only knew that the allusion of the Peony Pavilion was about the tragic story of a rich prince and a woman in a dream.
This story is written in the book that cannot be elegant, and it is only circulated in the folk women's boudoir or the merry man, and some people change the story of the Peony Pavilion into an opera, and occasionally put it on the stage and drink it once or twice.
Lin Chong is an authentic old man, neither a boudoir woman who is bored and dreaming, nor a dreamy boy who lingers in the flowers, don't talk about the book, it is a serious book, he has not read one or two, as for the pear orchard of singing, unless it is necessary to run an errand, he has never stepped into it, and he has never heard the Peony Pavilion opera that is rarely sung once or twice.
Yu Shi glanced at Lin Chong, who was asking, and this glance was full of multiple meanings.
There are too many meanings, Lin Chong didn't understand everything, he only knew that Yu Shi was displeased, probably because he was Yu Shi's subordinate, Bing Wei was Luo Gong's subordinate, and what Bing couldn't understand and know, he didn't understand and didn't know.
Don't say that his family is a thousand adults, even if he himself feels shameless, he really loses even his skin!
Lin Chong hung his head with a bitter face, and he didn't dare to meet the beautiful eyes of Yu Shi, and secretly made up his mind that when the assassination of the horse master Zhong Qingchi was over, he must read a book or two, and listen to the opera in the pear orchard to him!
Luo Gong looked at the dissatisfied jade pick, and then looked at Lin Chong, who was about to lower his head to the ground, and only thought that this jade pick was very cute, how could he carry it with him because of his casual words at the beginning?
However, Luo Gong likes to see such a jade pick, rather than a jade pick with every word "lowly adult, adult lowly", and he is clean and clean with him in every word.
As soon as he was in a good mood, Luo Gong rarely had the interest to explain, he had never been interested in explaining to Yushi, which would make him happy, so he didn't hesitate to explain to Lin Chong:
"The allusion of this peony pavilion, this seat knows a thing or two, and this seat will tell you about it......"
It is rumored that once upon a time there was a son of a rich family, and when he was over the age and crown, the family frequently looked for a good family for him, but he himself was not careful, and he always pushed down the wife candidate that the family had tried their best to find for him for various reasons.
The boudoir women who were selected by his parents and elders were either as beautiful as flowers, or virtuous and virtuous, very gentle and lovely, but the prince did not care, and every time he looked at the beauties he looked at was like looking at a stone, and he himself always behaved like a piece of wood.
Over time, no matter whether the people in the city who have good girls of the right age, whether rich or noble, they all know the name of the prince, and they all say that he has a fancy to the fairy in the sky, and no matter how beautiful and good the woman is in the mortal world, he can't look down on it.
Although this is very sour, it is also true, and for a while, no matchmaker came to the door.
Seeing this, the prince was not in a hurry or dry, but was happy and relaxed, and had more smiles, and his life was more nourishing than anyone else, but his family was in a hurry.
A year or two has passed, and other sons of the same age in the city have married and had children one after another, and life is prosperous, but this prince still lives alone in the same courtyard, living every day plainly, and falling asleep happily every night.
Lin Chong felt strange when he heard this: "Fall asleep happily? didn't have a good girl to marry him, but this son was happy? ”
At this time, Yu Shi nodded to Lin Chong with great satisfaction, and raised his eyebrows as if demonstrating to Luo Gong.
Luo Gong saw Yu Shi's reaction in his eyes, and only felt that Yu Shi's little appearance that raised his eyebrows was just saying-How is it? Although the people under this thousand households are not wise, their understanding is still good, and they can catch the key health at once!
Lin Chong's performance also surprised Luo Gong, seeing that Lin Chong was just a little captain, but his understanding was really good, and he continued:
"You're asking the point, Bingwei, tell Captain Lin about the reason."
After all, a wolf is still a wolf, even if he doesn't eat rabbit meat for a while, he can't change the nature of the wolf, and he has to reveal his true nature after being docile for a few breaths.
Yu Shi hated in her heart, and listened to Luo Gong's words with hatred in her ears, and she couldn't wait to scratch Luo Gong's handsome face that was called a country!
Bing Wei said: "Yes, the reason why this prince falls asleep happily every night is because he can meet a girl in his dreams after falling asleep every night, and this girl is born like a fairy in the sky as rumored outside......"
The prince and the woman in the dream fell in love, and met every night in a flower pavilion on the high mountain in the dream, and parted before dawn.
There are words on the forehead of the flower pavilion, but the prince can't see it clearly, only to see the peony flowers around the flower pavilion, so he woke up and painted, not only painted the woman in the dream into the picture scroll with mountains and pavilions, but also painted a large piece of peony flowers, and named the pavilion Peony Pavilion.
But dreams are dreams after all, reality is reality after all, and no matter how much the prince and the woman in the dream fall in love with each other, it is also a dream that can no longer be virtual.
Lin Chong asked urgently: "What about later?" What happened to the boy and the girl? ”
Before Bing Wei could answer, Yu Shi had already gotten up and slapped Lin Chong on the back of the head, and said with great hatred:
"That's a dream! What do you say? ”
