Chapter 57: Lao Yan Flies Separately
The moonlight sprinkled on the sparkling Qinhuai River, like a layer of broken jade. Yang Muyun and Shiso strolled along the Qinhuai River.
"This should be the second time we have joined hands to swim this Qinhuai River, right? The first time we were just poetry confidants, but I didn't expect that this time we were already husband and wife. Shiso said with emotion.
"Are you really going to have them do the wedding on a river?" Yang Muyun looked at the Qinhuai River in front of him.
"Isn't that good? If we could have another wedding, I would like to do the same. Shiso's beautiful eyes shone brightly.
"You are provoking tradition and provoking the inherent concept of etiquette in people's hearts." Yang Muyun reminded.
"So what?" Shisu glanced at him, his face full of indifference.
"This is not the most important thing, you let them do this, you are slapping the face of the Song family of the Marquis Mansion of Xining in front of the people of the whole Nandu."
"Song Ping has broken away from the Song family."
"His surname is Song, isn't he?" Yang Muyun sighed leisurely, "You are so naïve, you can really turn a blind eye to an angry agreement." ”
"What do you mean?"
"The Song family will definitely do their best to stop it, because this is not only about the face of the Marquis of Xining, but also about the face of the imperial court, which is not something that you can fight against as a small national color pavilion."
"Husband, you're thinking too much."
"Yes," the corners of Yang Muyun's mouth hooked slightly, "Madam, I hope you're right." ”
————————
The next day, an open-top boat draped in red and hung colors, in the earth-shaking sound of gongs, drums and suona, against the flying firecrackers and red chips, sailed away from Taoyedu Wharf.
"Come and see, there is a flower boat here...... "The people of Nandu rushed to tell each other, and they gathered by the Qinhuai River to watch the excitement.
"Sisters——, each of you carry a flower basket, and then go to each bridge on the Qinhuai River together, and when the flower boat sails under the bridge, sprinkle the petals in the basket on the flower boat, do you understand?" Shisu instructed all the red faces of the National Color Pavilion.
"Respectfully the girl's command—" Hundreds of beautiful ladies responded in unison, and the scene was quite spectacular.
"Song Ping, I—I feel a little nervous." Butterfly Rain's beautiful eyes swept to the crowd gathered on the shore, and said uneasily.
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you not afraid of heaven and earth? Song Ping held her hand and smiled: "Don't worry, there is me!" ”
......
Yang Muyun looked at the leisurely flower boat with a solemn expression.
"Husband, why are you so serious, aren't you happy for them?" Shiso came to his side and was surprised to see his expression.
"It's okay, I'm just feeling a little nervous." Yang Muyun tried to squeeze out a smile, but he didn't.
......
"Whose family is this happy event?"
"I heard that this is the Song Gongzi of the Xining Hou Mansion and the Butterfly Rain Girl of the National Color Pavilion......"
"What? The son of the dignified court Yipinhou Mansion actually performed this ceremony with a Qinglou woman under the blue sky and the public in this court, where is the face of the court? ”
"This time, Xininghou's old face is big enough."
There was a buzz of discussion in the crowd.
"The men and women in the boat, it is shameless to do such an immoral thing in broad daylight." An old master waved his arms and shouted.
"yes, it's really stinky." A woman raised her hand and threw an egg in a basket towards the boat. "Pop" the egg hits the railing of the flower boat, and the egg whites splash everywhere.
"Ahh
"Don't be afraid, I'm here—" Song Ping hugged her tightly and patted her fragrant shoulder to comfort her.
For a while, the sound of abuse suddenly started, and eggs, stones, vegetable roots and other sundries smashed into the flower boat like raindrops, and Song Ping tightly protected the butterfly rain under him, so that she would not be hurt in the slightest.
"See, they are challenging the etiquette that most people adhere to in their hearts......," Yang Muyun's stern face twitched.
"You, among them, huh?" Shiso glanced at him coldly. The flower boat was about to sail under the Wende Bridge, and Shiso walked quickly to the bridge and stood with the girls of the National Color Pavilion.
"Dieyu, Song Gongzi, we support you. I wish you all the same, and grow old together. Shiso shouted.
"Dieyu, Song Gongzi, we support you-" The girls of the National Color Pavilion shouted together. With the sound of blessings, the rain of flowers fell from the sky, covering up the scars on the flower boat.
Yang Muyun's eyes looked west, and in the distance, a big ship was coming from west to east, and on the bow stood a boy in brocade with a grim face, surrounded by a group of men in strong clothes. Yang Muyun's heart tightened, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
The flower boat crossed the Wende Bridge and soon met the big ship head-on.
The brocade-clothed boy with a grim face waved his hand, and someone immediately threw out an iron hook to hook the flower boat and pulled it over. Before the two boats could be stabilized, several men in strong suits jumped onto the flower boat, picked up Song Ping and dragged him to the big boat.
"Let go-" Song Ping shouted, his eyes staring at the brocade-clothed boy on the big boat: "Big brother, haven't I already broken off with the Song family?" Why are you coming to arrest me again? ”
"Ignorant fool, the face of the Song family in the Marquis Mansion of Xining has been lost by you." The boy in brocade snorted coldly, "Take it away!" He turned and walked towards the cabin.
"Xianggong-" Dieyu screamed and dragged Song Ping to death, but was pushed away by a big man.
"Lady-" Song Ping stretched out his hand to grab her, but he was already dragged to the cabin of the big ship by a group of powerful men.
The iron hook that had caught the boat was released, and the big boat sailed westward. Only the flower boats were left whirling in the river, and the cries of butterflies and rain.
"Husband, they took Song Gongzi away, what should I do?" Zi Su ran down from the bridge and said anxiously to Yang Muyun.
"Hurry up and pull the Butterfly Rain girl's boat over, and we'll talk about it when we go back no matter what happens." Yang Muyun looked at the big ship that was gradually moving away with a blushing face.
————————
National Color Pavilion.
"Miss, Miss Dieyu cried like a tearful person, and she didn't listen to any persuasion." Jinxuan came over and said to Zisu.
"Husband, what should I do?" Zi Su asked Yang Muyun for help.
"This is a family matter of the Marquis of Xining, and it is definitely not appropriate for me to come forward as a Jinyi guard." Yang Muyun paced back and forth in the room for a few circles, slowly raised his head, and his eyes became deeper: "It seems that the only way to find them is to find them." ”
......
On a painting boat on the Qinhuai River.
"Brother Jiang, come, do it-" Zhang Tianhe raised his wine glass.
"Brother Zhang Xian, please—" Jiang Wenying raised his glass.
The two of them drank the wine in their glasses together.
"There is only wine in the cup, but there is no singing and dancing, it is really boring to drink!" Jiang Wenying wiped the corners of her mouth and sighed.
"If you talk about singing and dancing vocal music, there is no right of the National Color Pavilion on the entire Qinhuai River, but unfortunately, today the National Color Museum is closed for one day, and they all went to support the wedding of Song Ping and Dieyu Girl." Zhang Tianhe sighed.
"I really don't understand, what kind of crazy thing you said Song Ping was smoking, the son of the dignified Hou Mansion, instead of marrying a Qinglou woman as his wife, he actually fell out with the family because of this, alas-" Jiang Wenying said and shook his head again and again: "It's really a kind of love that loves beauty and doesn't love the country!" ”
"This is good, Xining Hou is furious, and Song Ping can bear it now." Zhang Tianhe raised his glass, "From now on, there will be one less son of a family on the Qinhuai River." ”
As the two were talking, a melodious sound of the piano came along with the breeze on the water, and the two followed the sound to see a small painting boat floating in front of them.
On the bow of the boat, a white-clothed beauty with a plain white scarf on her face, her hair like a dark cloud, her hands caressing the strings, a wisp of breeze blowing across the river, blowing up her thousands of green silks, her jade hands are lightly raised, revealing her slender and white jade fingers, caressing the piano surface, concentrating and calming, the sound of the piano is like a raindrop falling in the water, the sound is like a raindrop falling in the water, the sound is crossed, clear and euphemistic. Like a birdsong mountain stream, like a spring hitting a mountain cliff, it emits a gurgling and bubbling charm......
Her jade fingers danced back and forth on the strings, like elves in the sun, stepping on the gorgeous beats. The bright notes converged into a trickle under her slender ten fingers, and flowed into the distance with the water of the Qinhuai River with a beautiful whirl.
In front of her, a beautiful girl in a rouge tight-fitting dance dress danced to the beat of the notes. Her graceful posture is as soft as a cloud, her arms are dancing lightly, and lotus flowers are born under her feet, dancing gracefully with the music, like a butterfly fluttering, like a fallen leaf swaying in the air, like a bouquet of flowers blooming in the bush with charming brilliance. The girl twisted her slender and soft waist with the rhythm of the piano, blooming with a charming charm, and her sweet smile always rippled on the beautiful and delicate beauty, elegant as a summer lotus, with a beautiful waist and thousands of graces, charming and moving rotating, and even the skirt rippled into a hibiscus in the wind. Her jade-like hands lingered gracefully, her skirt was flying, a pair of watery eyes like smoke were circulating, and the whole person seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, which made people look dreamlike.
Jiang Wenying and Zhang Tianhe were dazzled and fascinated by what they heard. I can't help but admire: I don't know where a pair of stunners came from, the dancing girl is only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she can dance out of such a style, which is not much better than the Butterfly Rain girl in the National Color Pavilion. The woman who played the piano was even more obedient, covering her face with a plain veil, revealing only a pair of clear and delicate eyes, which were already intoxicating, if you take off the veil...... The two glanced at each other and shouted at the captain who was holding the boat, "Boatman, come over quickly." ”
When the two women in the bow saw someone calling, they stopped dancing on the piano and entered the cabin after a little tidying up. The bow of the ship turned and went in the opposite direction. Jiang Zhang and the others were willing to give up, and urgently ordered the captain on his boat to quickly support the boat and move over.
As soon as the two painting boats leaned together and did not stop, Jiang and Zhang couldn't wait to jump up, and before they could enter the cabin, they saw a handsome young man about fifteen or sixteen years old walking out of it and smiled at them: "Brother Jiang, Brother Zhang, don't come unharmed." ”
"Ah-Yang Gongzi, it's you!" The two exclaimed in surprise.
"The presence of the two of you really makes me feel brilliant, two of you, please-" Yang Muyun lifted the curtain and made a gesture of please.
Jiang Zhang and the two glanced at each other, nodded slowly, and stepped inside.
A table of banquets was set up in the cabin, and Yang Muyun led the two of them to sit down.
Yang Muyun filled the two cups with wine, and then "popped" three high-fives, where the cabin curtain was lifted, Jiang Zhang and the others only felt a fragrant breeze blowing on their faces, and there were two more shadows in front of them. If you take a closer look, it is the two peerless beauties who are playing the piano in the bow of the boat, and the veil on the face of the white-clothed beauty has been removed, revealing her stunning face that even heaven and earth have lost color.
"Miss Shisu—" Jiang and Zhang screamed in surprise.
"This is Uchiko Shiso, the two of you should have seen it," Yang Muyun pointed to the beautiful girl in a rouge dance dress next to her, "This is Uchiko's personal maid." ”
The two of them were slightly blessed and saluted Jiang and Zhang.
"The two sons are not outsiders, so Madame might as well play a song and let Su'er dance to cheer up the two sons." Yang Muyun said.
"The cheap concubine played a little rough sound, which made the two sons laugh." Shiso smiled charmingly.
"Where, where—" Jiang Zhang's eyes flickered, and the smiles on their faces were a little stiff.
The melodious sound of the piano sounded, and the flutter danced.
"Brother Jiang, Brother Zhang, please—" Yang Muyun raised his glass.
"Young Master Yang, please—" The two of them drank the wine in their cups with apprehension.
"Young Master Yang brought me and me here, but what's the matter?" Jiang Wenying asked.
"Why, I haven't seen the two of you for a long time, can't you just ask the two of you to get drunk?" Yang Muyun lifted the wine jug and poured wine for the two, "It's just a pity that without Brother Song by his side, this atmosphere is much weaker than when we first met......"
Jiang Wenying and Zhang Tianhe looked at each other slightly, and said secretly in their hearts: "It's finally here!" ”
Yang Muyun's words stopped abruptly, raised his wine glass and smiled slightly: "Brother Jiang, Brother Zhang, please-"
"Yang Gongzi might as well say it directly, we are not outsiders." Zhang Tianhe drank the wine in his toast, and a touch of red appeared on his cheeks.
"Brother Zhang has a good amount of wine, this is the aged daughter red in the cellar of the National Color Museum. Come, please have another drink-" Yang Muyun didn't answer his topic, and filled his wine glass again.
"Young Master Yang—" Jiang Wenying put the wine glass aside after drinking, "If you don't say it, you will look down on the two of us." ”
"Brother Jiang is serious," Yang Muyun smiled slightly, "I want to invite Brother Song to come over for a gathering, is that okay?" ”
Jiang Wenying and Zhang Tianhe's faces became solemn, and they were silent for a while.
"I also know that Brother Jiang, Brother Zhang, and Brother Song are all from a princely family, and they are all in the same spirit, how can they have mutual discord with each other, although this matter is a gesture for the two of them, it is a matter of several exchanges, and it is appropriate for the two of them to consider it carefully."
"I'm afraid it's impossible for you to meet Song Ping," Zhang Tianhe raised his head and said slowly, "His brother Song Jie escorted him into the mansion, and he has been heavily guarded, and tomorrow morning, Song Jie will escort Song Ping to board the big ship to Beijing by the river in Jinchuanmen, and send it to their father, Song Ying, Marquis of Xining." ”
