Chapter 187: Yang Zhao, King of Jin
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, drums were popular.
Legend has it that the big fat man An Lushan beat a good drum.
The people in the hall of Yunyun Mansion were playing the drums.
Sima Jiu listened for a long time before signaling Luo Shixin to continue to lead the way.
"The dance music of our Yunyun Mansion is famous all over the world, and even the palace tricks often come to learn from it." Luo Shixin took Sima Jiu to the inner hall and introduced Sima Jiu from time to time.
Sima Jiudao: "The sound of Gongsun Lingyin's piano is indeed the sound of nature, which is endlessly evocative. ”
Sima Jiu followed behind Luo Shixin and passed through a lobby, where countless scantily clad women were practicing Hu Dance, and their movements were very unrestrained.
Suddenly, Sima Jiujun's face was slightly red, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to look more.
Some of the dancers couldn't help but laugh when they saw him so shy and handsome.
It wasn't until Luo Shixin glared at them that he relented.
"These are the best maiko in Daxing City, and even the appearance fee for each dance they perform is not less than one gold ingot. However, Miss Xue said that they do not have the spirituality of dancers, so they can only be counted as dance puppets, not dancers. When it comes to singing and dancing, Luo Shixin is like a treasure.
Sima Jiu couldn't help laughing, and thought to himself: "Luo Shixin, this fat man, shouldn't he gang up with another black fat man to do business that doesn't cost anything?" How could it be in this Yunyun Mansion that he is still like an expert in the entertainment industry. ”
Subsequently, Luo Shixin took Sima Jiu through several halls, playing the piano and soothing the seer, and also dancing with Hua Geli. It's just that now that it's over, these people are still practicing hard, which makes Sima Jiu can't help but be amazed.
Finally, when they came to a corridor outside the hall, Luo Shixin stopped, no longer forward, made a gesture of inviting in, and said, "Childe, my young lady is waiting for you in the hall." ”
When Sima Jiu saw a row of shoes in the corridor, he knew that he had to take off his shoes and enter the hall, he was curious, and after taking off his shoes, he walked down the corridor.
Outside the hall door at the end of the corridor, four guards dressed in armor who looked like left and right guards saw Sima Jiu and were about to step forward to ask questions, until there were two applause in the hall, and they didn't give up.
"No matter how pomp and circumstance there is in Lejia Yunyun Mansion, it won't use the left and right guards to watch the door, right?" Sima Jiu was secretly surprised.
Then, as soon as he entered the door, he was shocked by the luxury in front of him.
Yang Su's mansion has always been known for its luxury, however, compared to this hall, it is also a little inadequate.
The hall is magnificent, the surrounding walls are inlaid with hundreds of night pearls to reflect the hall as if it were daytime, around the hall, every five or six steps, there are people-high corals, and the coral is hung with exquisite jade and agate pendants.
Directly opposite the hall, Gongsun Lingyin, dressed in pink, was stroking the piano with her hands, chanting Wang Wei's Yangguan Three Stacks, and behind her, there was a beautiful screen.
Her music is extremely well composed, showing the spirit of Wang Wei's poems.
She seemed to be indulged in the three stacks of Yangguan, and it was not until she finished chanting that she noticed Sima Jiu.
Gongsun Lingyin stepped forward and saluted: "Ninth Prince, the little girl knows that you are attending a banquet in Lord Yang's mansion, so I am really sorry to invite you so late." ”
Sima Jiu recalled the situation when Gongsun Lingyin lifted Yang Jishan off the high platform, and knew that this woman was reckless, so he hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Miss Lingyin doesn't have to be polite, there is Miss Lao who composed music overnight, and she is ashamed in the next place." ”
"The song has been composed, whether it is suitable or not still needs to be tasted by the ninth prince."
"Lingyin girl composes music, she is extraordinary."
"Jiugongzi praised it, the little girl played it several times, and she always felt a little unhappy, but I don't know why? I also have to bother the ninth prince to give me a lot of advice. Gongsun Lingyin looked a little annoyed, her eyes rolled, and she grabbed Sima Jiu's hand and was about to go to the place where she was stroking the qin.
Sima Jiu smelled a natural girl's body fragrance, and couldn't help but want to stop.
Gongsun Lingyin didn't shy away from suspicion at all, just pulled him away.
"Lingyin girl, this poem is just sent by the feeling, and I am not good at the piano music, I am afraid that love cannot help."
Gongsun Lingyin pulled Sima Jiu to the place where he stroked the qin, smiled brightly, and sat down to prepare to stroke the qin.
"Okay, okay, you're welcome, you're not done yet, this girl is playing from the beginning now." Gongsun Lingyin showed her innocent and interesting side.
She tuned the piano, her jade hand fluctuated, and she sang along with the melody: "Weicheng is light and dusty, the guest house is new and willowy, persuade you to drink a glass of wine, and there is no reason to ...... in Yangguan in the west."
Her voice was poignant, as tactful as the eighteenth beat of a mustache.
After Sima Jiu listened to a paragraph, he knew the problem, after all, the artistic conception of this song was slightly different from Cai Wenji's song.
The pride in his chest suddenly swelled up, recalling Xiao Maha who died in Pingyao and the Han army soldiers at the head of the city of Bingzhou, and said: "When I recited this poem, what came to mind was the feat of my imperial soldiers to conquer Tibet and Tuyuhun in the west. ”
Subsequently, Sima Jiu signaled Gongsun Lingyin to stroke the qin from the new, and he cooperated with the melody of Gongsun Lingyin, and sang in a vicissitudes of voice: "Persuade you to drink more wine, and there is no reason to ...... in Yangguan in the west."
Perhaps it was integrated into the real feelings, Sima Jiu's tone was accented with the melody of Gongsun Lingyin, which suddenly made this Yangguan three stacks have a unique flavor.
When Sima Jiu finished singing the last word, Gongsun Lingyin stabilized his gesture and applauded happily, adoring Sima Jiu.
"Hahahaha! has a good feeling for the family and country, and I, Yang Zhao, said, how can a person who can be a person who has no reason to go out of Yangguan in the west, how can he be an ordinary person? ”
Suddenly, a man and a woman walked out from behind the screen behind Gongsun Lingyin.
The man looked to be in his twenties, with big ears and a mighty face, and his deep eyes were filled with appreciation, and he kept clapping his hands.
Next to the man, there is a woman in a plain white tights, this woman wears a crystal forehead, her eyes are like water, her skin is like cream, and the snow white is pink, which seems to be able to wring out water, and the exquisite tights make her graceful figure particularly eye-catching.
Then, the man turned his head to look at the woman next to him and pointed at her with his finger, showing a smug look.
Yang Zhao?
Sima Jiu's mind turned sharply, and he secretly wondered: "Isn't it Yang Guang's short-lived son?" I didn't expect to meet him here today. ”
Yang Zhao, the eldest son of Yang Guang, the current king of Jin, was made the imperial prince in the first year of the Great Cause, but only a year after being made the crown prince, he died young due to illness.
His status is respectful, no wonder there are left and right guards waiting outside the hall.
Sima Jiu hurriedly stepped forward and saluted Yang Zhao: "Sima Jiu has seen the King of Jin, but he didn't know that the King of Jin was here, so he took the liberty to come here and hope to forgive his sins." ”
"Hahahaha! Childe doesn't need to be polite, let's be flat. Yang Zhao's words were very bold.
"Today, this king made a bet with the Snow Maiden that the person who made this poem was absolutely extraordinary, and he listened quietly behind the screen."
Sima Jiu said: "The little talent is shallow, how dare he show off in front of the King of Jin, and beg the King of Jin for more guidance." ”
"Come, sit down and talk."
Sima Jiu saw that Yang Zhao did not have a princely posture, so he obeyed the order to sit under Yang Zhao.
It turned out that after Gongsun Lingyin left Yang Su's mansion, he returned to Yunyun Mansion less than an hour before composing the song.
It happened that Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, and Qian Chengxue were in Yunyun Mansion, so they tasted together, however, they listened to it for a while, and they couldn't understand the essence of it, so Yang Zhao, the king of Jin, proposed to invite Sima Jiu, the initiator, to come to evaluate.
And the reason why Yang Zhao appeared in Yunyun Mansion with Qian Chengxue was because of their unusual relationship.
