Chapter 24: Listening to Music

With a burst of piano sound, slowly, the beauty was dressed in bright red clothes, the collar was made in the shape of a lotus, embroidered with gold thread, shining in the sun, a white belt was tied around the thin waist of the willow, and a lotus leaf green skirt was tied underneath, and the skirt was embroidered with gold thread full of lotus flowers.

Wearing a red lotus-shaped corolla on her head, the corolla hangs behind this crimson light veil, the beauty's makeup is very light, the most conspicuous thing is that there is a golden lotus-shaped flower on the center of the eyebrows, which is shining.

A gust of breeze came, the lotus leaves danced, the beauty's lotus collar and lotus leaf skirt, and the crimson veil all danced with the wind, very elegant, just when everyone was amazed by the beauty's outfit, she began to lightly open her lips and sang:

Green leaves, pink petals bloom in the middle of the water, looking at the sky, the sun will blush when it sees you, you smile, thousands of turns to fascinate the emperors and gods of heaven and earth, people see pity, thin red face, for who fell into the mortal world and waited for thousands of years, still not returned, the origin of the fate of the extinction, who can change, the cadre will Mo Xie also cut off the continuous affection, just like the lotus root broken thread, true love is endless, let you love you forever, the lotus is a fairy in the water, out of the mud and not stained, innocent living in the red dust, the whole world has changed, Only you haven't changed, the water to the moon year after year, the whole world has changed, only you haven't changed, wait for another 10,000 years for the moon in the water.

After singing, four more boats appeared, and there was a beauty on the boat, and the clothes on her body were the same style as the beauty in red, but the color of the blouse and collar was changed to pink, the skirt was still lotus green, and the veil was changed to white.

The lotus-shaped flower in the center of the eyebrows was replaced with a silver one, which was also very beautiful, and it was shiny silver. The singers began to sing the song with their lips open, and the beauties in the first boat had left the boat and ascended to the pavilion in the middle of the pond and danced. In the singing, in the lotus dance, the beauty wearing the red lotus dress dances calmly, with wide sleeves and light comfort, sometimes raising her wrists and low eyebrows, and sometimes gently soothing her hands. Flying high like a magpie bird night terror, light walking Man dancing like a swallow nesting, Luo Yi fluttering from the wind, long sleeves crisscrossing left and right. The endless posture flew and scattered, and the twisted figures merged hands and feet. The beautiful dance is leisurely and soft, like a fairy in a flower.

For a while, the noise in the four water pavilions stopped, and they were all quietly enjoying the singing and dancing. After a long time, the singing stopped, and the four boats also disappeared into the lotus, and the dancing beauties had already taken a boat from the pavilion. Everyone is still immersed in the beauty of what was just now. Suddenly, a cheer erupted from the water pavilion in the west, followed by continuous cheers in all directions.

Chen Wenhui and the others were also immersed in singing and dancing, waiting until the cheers came to mind. Chen Wenhui hurriedly instructed the mothers-in-law to put the paper door back on to isolate the noise outside. Wan Meizhen and Wang Yaozhen were very excited, grabbed Chen Wenhui and said, "Sister Hui, your singer's performance is so good, much better than ours." It's really beautiful. ”

Lan Caiyu was still stunned, and said softly in her mouth: "Out of the mud without staining, live innocently in the red dust." Chen Wenhui smiled and said: "It's amazing, Sister Caiyu is stunned, this is my fault, you quickly pull her into the pond and live with the lotus." Lan Caiyu blushed and said, "I'm stunned, I think this song is really well written, and the beauty of the lotus flower is written." Wang Yaozhen said: "I don't know many words, I don't understand what lyrics are good or bad, I only know that they are good-sounding, good-looking, really like a lotus fairy." Wan Meizhen said: "Zuo is just a singer, where is the fairy, and Sister Hui is the lotus fairy." But her song is so good that I've never heard it before. ”

Qiu Bi was about to speak, but Chen Wenhui's eyes stopped. She didn't want anyone to know that she had taught the song. He said, "This is the fun that our shopkeeper bought from the capital at a great price, and I have been rehearsing for a long time." If only it could be in your eyes. ”

Chen Wenhui began to greet everyone to eat vegetables and drink tea again. A group of little girls chattered and discussed the song and dance just now. Chen Wenhui also instructed Yin Hong to give Fangfang, who was dancing just now, a high-grade red, a medium-grade red-red for the four singing, and a medium-grade red for each of the pianoists. For a while, after the meal, the girls were reluctant to go home.

Two days later, after dinner in the evening, the Chen family of five gathered in the Bai family's upper room as usual. Chen Wenjun said to his little sister: "Sister, the lotus song you made in Qinghelou two days ago has been spread all over now, but I haven't heard it." ”

Chen Yuanheng also said: "Yes, everyone has been talking about this for the past two days, I thought Chen Qing asked the musician to get it, and I was still wondering where Chen Qing found such a talented musician." How did Hui'er write it? Does Madame know? Bai Shi was confused: "What kind of lotus song, I naturally don't know it when I'm in the inner house." ”

Chen Wenhui said: "Ah, no, is there such a strict zhòng, I just made it out of a moment of joy, and it's not a good thing, in fact, the songs and dances are all made up by that Fangfang of our Qinghe Building." You won't know I did it, will you? Chen Wenjun hurriedly said: "That's not true, we just heard that Qinghe Lou rehearsed a new lotus song, and they all went crazy, I felt strange, and I asked Chen Qing." Chen Qing said to the outside world that he bought the tune from Beijing. To tell me the truth, it was the tunes and lyrics that you wrote. ”

Chen Wenhui breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm glad I don't know, I don't want anyone to know." Chen Yuanheng was surprised and asked, "What song is it?" Chen Wenlin hurriedly took out a piece of snow note from his sleeve: "Father, you see, I got this from a friend." Everyone has been copying it these days. Chen Yuanheng took it and read it with Bai: "Well, it's easy to understand, and it's not right, but it's better to be natural and beautiful." Hui'er, how can you think so much. "Where did Chen Wenhui dare to say that it was a song from her previous life, she plagiarized it.

She hurriedly replied: "It's a sentence that I occasionally look through from a book, and it's not from a book." I found a lot of poems and articles describing lotus flowers, and then I copied a sentence in the east and a sentence in the west, and put them together. Chen Yuanheng said: "So that's the case, although it's a collection, it's difficult for you to get it very smooth." It can be seen that these days of learning are long. You two see that your sister is so smart, you have to pay attention to your studies. The two Chen brothers hurriedly agreed.

Chen Yuanheng said again: "Since everyone doesn't know that Hui'er made it, they simply follow Chen Qing's statement and say that they bought the song from Beijing." Just performed in Qinghelou, it was not in vain that the singers and dancers choreographed it for so long, and it can also improve the reputation of our Qinghelou. ”

Chen Wenhui clapped her hands and said, "It's best if my father is still shrewd." I don't want fame, where is the silver for fame. Bai Shi smiled: "Hui'er, you have been clothed and fed since you were a child, how can you be interested in silver?" ”

Chen Wenhui disagreed: "There are not many people who know the book of sages, but those who don't know the benefits of silver are probably not, I know what it is." Chen Yuanheng said: "What Hui'er said is very reasonable, what's wrong with the silver, our family is not one of those fake families, even if the word silver is pickled?" No. Which can be separated from food, clothing, housing and transportation. I hope that my sons and daughters know the wonder of life, and that they can't be fake and high-minded. Bai nodded yes.

Chen Qing was very happy to learn that the lotus song could continue to be performed. In the past two days, all the guests were asking about the lotus song, and he was noisy. Now he can continue to perform, but it makes him feel a lot less stressed. After thinking about it for a while, I went to ask if I could announce the lotus banquet together. Bai was also curious about what a lotus feast was. Chen Qing explained, and the Bai family also nodded and agreed, but asked Yin Hong to also teach the chefs in the mansion the lotus banquet, and they should also be in the mansion often.

Chen Wenhui thought that it was so hot in summer, it was easy to get angry, and the lotus porridge was very hot, so she told her mother that she would make lotus porridge in the summer in the future. At this time, the two Chen brothers were very happy and had new dishes to eat.

In the past few days, the big families in Anseong have a new topic, that is, the lotus song and lotus banquet in Qinghelou. Even the lotus costumes with those lotus fairies were also rumored, and when everyone inquired, it turned out to be made by Cuijinlou, and suddenly Cuijinlou's reputation was also great. It all spread to Deqing City. People who have good deeds come to Ancheng from Deqing City to eat lotus banquets, enjoy lotus songs, and buy lotus costumes for the female dependents of the family when they leave. At this time, the reputation of Ziqinghelou and Cuijinlou has spread. Business is also better. When the Bai family saw the extra silver at the end of the month, he smiled.

Several of Chen Wenhui's friends are also very happy, they are the first batch of people to eat lotus banquets and enjoy lotus songs, so they naturally show off everywhere, but they don't know who the author is, even so, it is enough for them to show off for half a month. Of course, the day after the banquet, they went to Cuijin Building and bought the latest lotus costumes. For a time, these little girls have become a fashion trend in the circle of big families in Ancheng, in addition to lotus costumes, they also like Chen Wenhui's yarn clothes, all called Cuijinlou to tailor-made, all of a sudden, Ancheng upper-class society has lotus clothes and yarn clothes two styles are popular together, Cuijinlou's treasure clothes orders suddenly increased, and they can't be done.

Chen Wenhui, the initiator of this storm, lived her own life leisurely. Every day, I still read, write, follow the Bai family's schoolgirl, and deal with housework. The days flew by, and summer passed in a blink of an eye. Autumn has arrived, and it is also the season of autumn harvest. Bai thought that there was nothing to do in this section of the city, and the business of Qinghe Building and Cuijin Building was also on track, so it was better to go to the Grange to live for a while, and I didn't go for half a year, and I didn't see how the Grange was built. However, Chen Yuanheng has to deal with the affairs of the yamen, and he can't leave until the rest of the day. The two Chen brothers also have to go to school every day, and they can't go until the rest of the day. So, the family summed it up and waited until the rest day and everyone went together.
