"In the future, I will rely on my father-in-law and Lord Wang, let's go, go to Changhuan Building to listen to a song, today it is said that there is a good voice, only here for three days, and in three days I will go to the drunken flower building in Yucheng to sing music.

Gu Beijun was poured a lot of wine today, and he was not as calm as usual when he spoke, and he shouted that he wanted to go to Changhuan Building to listen to the tune.
"Changhuanlou? Why don't you go to the Huanlou to have fun? ”
The lord of the palace in the capital smiled evilly at Gu Beijun. This Changhuan Building is close to the Huanhuan Building, but it is a completely different business. This Changhuan Lou is a place to listen to opera and enjoy music, there are a lot of geisha and people who play music, the upper level of the old man and young master and wife like to go to Changhuan Lou to listen to the music, and this can enter the Changhuan Building to sing the music is the famous horn that enters the palace to sing to the emperor and the Empress Dowager Xiao every year.
And this Huan Lou is a bright and green business, and the drunken flower building is the most high-end green building in the city.
"Lord Wang, I am young, and it doesn't seem appropriate for my delicate lady to go looking for flowers and willows when I'm not at home, and besides, my father-in-law is still around."
Gu Beijun smiled and was comfortable with these things.
"Haha, okay, in this way, I will accompany the lord for a while."
Lord Wang laughed heartily, and the three of them walked towards Changhuan Tower not far away.
"Beijun, you said that Changhuanlou has a good voice today?"
On the way, Xi Zhongyun asked Gu Beijun.
"Yes, I usually like to listen to Kunqu Opera, this opera is a rare voice in the world, I heard it once last year when I was in the capital, and it is unforgettable. However, it is said that she was invited to Zuihualou by Ke Jingcheng, the owner of Zuihualou, to Zuihualou with a lot of money. Father-in-law, it seems that I will also have a blessing when I go back to Yucheng. ”
Xi Zhongyun was overjoyed after hearing this, and said:
"Is there really such a legendary person? I also happen to love listening to Kunqu Opera, and if the news is true, I will be able to listen to it more often in the future. ”
"Oh? Isn't my father-in-law's business in the capital? ”
Gu Beijun asked, slightly happy in his heart.
"I've been going to Jade City a lot lately."
Xi Zhongyun was thinking about Kunqu Opera, so he also said it casually. Gu Beijun was overjoyed, it seemed that Xi Zhongyun's suspicion of him had decreased, and he had revealed the secret of his recent stay in Jade City so easily.
It seems that Jade City is definitely a place worth investigating.
"Go, go."
Gu Beijun greeted and entered Changhuan Building, and spent a lot of money to buy the top position.
After listening to a few tunes, the person who came on the stage afterwards was a sight to behold: a blue-green skirt floated slowly down the upper floor, and a thin pale pink veil was covered with a thin pale pink veil on the mouth and nose, only leaking out of the forehead and eyes, giving people a very mysterious feeling.
When she went downstairs, there were bright red color pieces falling upstairs, which looked more like fairies descending to earth. Because of the veil, I couldn't see the woman's face clearly, but it was not difficult to see the elegance under her veil from her gentle eyes.
"Ou Meiyi! Au Meiyi! ”
On the guest officer's seat, there were already sharp-eyed ticket holders who recognized her.
"Father-in-law, she is the first voice in Jiangnan, Ou Meiyi."
Gu Beijun looked at her with his eyes and introduced it to Zhong Yun.
"If Shen Yu really falls into the wild goose, she sings Kunqu opera well?"
"No one beats."
"It's just that why didn't I know there was such a number one?"
"Ou Meiyi is not easy to invite, and people have personality, she is not for making money, just for self-cultivation, she spent most of her time in the south in the past few years, and she loves to play pipa and sing alone on the edge of the West Lake."
Such a pretentious and untainted temperament is what everyone is fascinated by, and the scene of holding a pipa and half-covering his face on the edge of the West Lake also makes people think about it.
"Strange woman."
Xi Zhongyun admired and sat there quietly waiting for her to open her voice.
Gu Beijun glanced at Xi Zhongyun, who was attracted by Ou Meiyi's appearance, with a cunning look in his eyes. This area of beauty is the special task that Gu Jin said to Gu Beijun the night before, let her come to Xi Zhongyun and be fascinated, and then let her go to the Drunken Flower Building, so that Xi Zhongyun will follow, the so-called hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, Gu Jin doesn't believe that the cunning Xi Zhongyun will not fold his head on a woman.
Gu Beijun was secretly happy, it seemed that his father Gu Jin had made a good move, knew what Xi Zhongyun liked, and did what he liked.
Gu Beijun also saw Ou Meiyi for the first time today, and he also admitted that she was a rare beauty, thinking of beauty, he suddenly thought of Xi Mo, Xi Mo is also a stunning beauty of the country and the city, but compared to Ou Meiyi, Xi Mo seems to be less charming that can hook the soul of a mature man, and more playful and agile simplicity.
Ou Meiyi sat in the middle of the stage, with the dulcimer in front of her, she elegantly picked up the silver batter, smiled at the people around her, and the music suddenly sounded.
"The swan song of the eternal pipa line."
As soon as Xi Zhongyun heard the prelude, he heard the source.
"Xunyang Jiangtou night send-off, maple leaves and flowers in autumn. The master dismounts the guest in the boat, and raises the wine to drink without orchestra. If you are drunk, you will say goodbye, and you will be immersed in the moon in the vast river when you are drunk..."
The warm voice slowly rose with the slightly sad music, and there was silence in the Changhuan Building, as if everyone was immersed in the song that showed endless sorrow.
Sometimes sad, sometimes excited, sometimes indignant, sometimes helpless, Ou Meiyi interprets the eternal swan song with an ever-changing voice.
Xi Zhongyun saw that he was drunk, and he was also drunk.
"Thank you all for your appreciation."
At the end of the song, when everyone was immersed in the endless aftertaste, Ou Meiyi had already stood up and bowed to face everyone, because sitting in the front row, Xi Zhongyun could see the little tears in Ou Meiyi's eyes.
"Good voice! Let's sing one more song. ”
A man suddenly stood up in the crowd, and he looked appreciative, hoping that Ou Meiyi would sing again.
"I beg your pardon. I only sing one song a day. ”
Ou Meiyi's eyes looked straight at Xi Zhongyun standing in the crowd, and smiled slightly apologetically.
Xi Zhongyun stood there, not feeling embarrassed, just nodded flatly.
...
"Father-in-law, this No. 1 voice in Jiangnan is well deserved, right?"
Without waiting for the next geisha to come out, Xi Zhongyun signaled to walk out of Changhuan Building, and Gu Beijun hurriedly asked Xi Zhongyun how he felt.
"It's a swan song. I'll listen to it again tomorrow when she starts singing. ”
Xi Zhongyun stood at the door for a long time and was reluctant to leave.
"It's still the same time."
Gu Beijun replied casually.
"I'll go in for a while."
After a long time, Xi Zhongyun walked in alone.
Gu Beijun and Lord Wang stood outside and said a few words, and in the end, Lord Wang insisted on going to Huan Lou, so he went alone.
Gu Beijun stood at the door alone, looking up at the starry sky and feeling happy, it seemed that this district Meiyi really made Xi Zhongyun interested.
PS: I went to the dentist today, and the doctor said that there was a tooth to be treated as a root canal, and when the small grinding wheel grinded the teeth, it was really painful, and the author had the heart to pull it out... Everyone must protect their teeth and suffer less pain.
