Chapter 7: Attracting Bees and Butterflies to Dance
Second Young Master Yue scolded and scolded, explaining a simple truth, he was not the one who kidnapped Qin Huaiyu.
If he kidnapped him, he couldn't still be full of resentment, but should be full of pride.
The two listened secretly, and were about to turn around and leave, when there was a "bang", and there was a louder shouting and scolding, "What then? Jingshi came to catch the head of the bullshit, I really thought that Young Master Ben was afraid of him, hum, if he wasn't afraid of being angry with the old man, Young Master Ben would have rewarded him a few times. ”
Xiao Yan pursed his lips and turned his head to look at Ishikawa, the latter's brows were entangled together, squeezed his eyes again, and slightly motioned to Ishikawa, "Go, teach that thing that doesn't know the height of the sky!" ”
Ishikawa didn't answer, "Forget it, Lao Tzu won't give him general knowledge, go, go back." ”
Despite this, the two were still not at ease, and searched the house carefully, and everything was normal on the surface, and there was nothing suspicious.
The only suspicious thing is that this house is very large, and there are only two brothers from the Yue family living in it, which is cold and does not look like a home at all.
However, it is his family's business to look like home, as long as he doesn't kidnap people and doesn't do illegal things, he can't care about anyone at all.
After a look, the two quietly retreated again.
On the way back, Xiao Yan asked Ishikawa: "That stinky boy just said that he was afraid of hurting his old man, who do you say this old man will be?"
"Don't guess, just send someone to keep an eye here, if you can't find anyone, you can't completely rule out his identity as a suspect, hum!"
After Ishikawa snorted angrily, Xiao Yan took on leisurely, "I'd rather offend the king of Hades than offend the stone catcher!" ”
As a result, Ishikawa rewarded Xiao Yan with a punch.
The next day, Mu Qing rested in the post house, and Xiao Yan and Ishikawa came to Baicao Garden again.
Xiang Xuemei and Huai Jue were waiting for them and immediately came forward.
Ishikawa hung his head and told everything he had seen and heard, and Xiang Xuemei, who was a little disappointed, still invited them to sit down.
After sitting down, Huai Jue hesitated, "Actually, I still have one more thing to tell you!" ”
"Say it quickly!" Ishikawa is the most impatient for others to talk halfway.
"Even I heard that in Zhongzhou, there was also a famous singer named Lin Zishu last month, who also disappeared, and he is the same as my eldest brother, he is a famous Danjiao, and he is also good at singing "The Legend of Concubine Mei" and dancing the Thrilling Dance."
Ishikawa immediately jumped up, "You mean, this person specializes in kidnapping the name of Concubine Mei." ”
"At least the two people who are missing at the moment are of the same identity." Huai Jue nodded in affirmation.
"What does this person want to do, kidnap if he wants, kidnap if he wants, and is there any royal law? Are we all dead when we catch fast? ”
"Shi Ye, you are alive, you go and arrest him back!" Looking at Ishikawa who was jumping, Xiang Xuemei couldn't help but speak excitedly.
"Catch, you have to catch it!" The instinct of the long-term arrest told him that this man would continue to commit crimes.
This is exactly what Xiao Yan was worried about, looked at Xiang Xuemei and Huai Jue, and asked in a deep voice: "Then here, is there still a famous Dan who is good at singing Concubine Mei?"
"Yes, it's Yun Yanlan from the Double Happiness Class, this time in the Liyuan Spring Festival, she is going to sing "The Legend of Concubine Mei", and she said that she wants to compete with her brother?" Huaijue knows the movements of the pear orchard line well.
"So, you mean, Yun Yanlan could be his next target?" Xiang Xuemei also stood up in surprise
"Yes, most likely, he'll keep going." Ishikawa, who has been dealing with criminals for many years, is sure of it.
"Then we'll go over now......" Xiang Xuemei stood up and rushed out.
Ishikawa also rushed out after her, only Huai Jue, who was preoccupied, and Xiao Yan walked at the back.
Fortunately, after rushing to Yun Yanlan's residence, he happened to be playing silently at home, and he didn't disappear, and he was very surprised to see a large group of people coming to look for him.
Huaijue told him about Huaiyu's disappearance, and for the sake of safety, advised him not to sing Concubine Mei on stage tonight.
After hearing this, Yun Yanlan thought carefully for a long time before saying, "I have been preparing for this time on stage, and I can't give up easily. Besides, it's all speculation, so why did he kidnap me? ”
"Criminals commit crimes because their way of thinking is abnormal, is there no reason? Got it! So, you better stop singing, safety first. Ishikawa had a black face, he didn't want someone to be kidnapped right under his nose.
"No, this is my business, I must sing, please go back!" Unexpectedly, Yun Yanlan was also very stubborn.
Ishikawa just wanted to get angry, Xiao Yan and Xiang Xuemei pulled the corners of his clothes left and right, and dragged him out.
"What are you dragging me for? If you have something to say, say it quickly. Ishikawa was not angry, Yun Yanlan didn't listen to his warning.
"Shi Ye, wait for him to sing, it's best if that person doesn't come, when he comes, he will use Yun Ye, follow the vine and touch the melon, and find out Huaiyu and them." Xiang Xuemei blinked her eyes wide.
"Yes, I just gave some of your things to Yun Ye?" Xiao Yan is even more desperate, and he has already finished his work.
Ishikawa touched his sleeve pocket in surprise, and sure enough, the Qianli tracking powder was gone, and raised his head to stare at Xiao Yan, who honestly returned a small bag to him.
"You two bad guys, you know that you have a bad idea, alas, there is no way, who told the master inside to be too stubborn and want to be bait?"
……
At night, the lights are on.
In the box on the second floor of the Taihe Tea House, Ishikawa stood vigilantly by the window.
Xiao Yan, Mu Qing, Xiang Xuemei, and Huai Jue all sat quietly and drank tea.
"Come and sit down, there's still more than half an hour to start, so don't sniff around like a hound." Xiao Yan hurt people in his mouth, and his hands didn't stop, pulling Ishikawa and sitting down.
Ishikawa is not a quiet lord, he sat down but couldn't be still, "I said, why is this pervert tied up two in a row, both of them are singing Concubine Mei's name, this Concubine Mei, what's so special?" It's puzzling. ”
Glancing at the restless Ishikawa, Xiang Xuemei smiled and said, "Otherwise, I'll tell you the story of Concubine Mei." ”
"Okay, tell me about it! To be honest, except for knowing that she is the emperor's concubine, I don't know anything else, I don't know anything. Ishikawa rubbed his big hands together and smiled heartily.
"This, we have to start with Emperor Tang Ming, the ancestor of Liyuan Xing." Xiang Xuemei cleared her throat and spoke like a storyteller.
In the spring, Emperor Tang Ming saw that the spring in the garden was bright and the flowers and willows were about to bloom, and he sighed: "How can this scene not be judged by him", and then made a song, called "Good Time":
The mustache is more suitable for the palace shape, the lotus face is tender, and the body is red and fragrant. The eyebrows do not need to be open, and the temples are long.
Mo Yi leans into the country's appearance, marries one, and is affectionate. When each other was young, they had a good time. ”
After making this song, Linxuan beat the drum, the drum stopped, and the apricot blossoms in front of the pavilion were in full bloom in response to the sound.
He looked up and sighed with a long smile: "Why don't you call me a god?" The world called the Ming Emperor's Linxuan drumming as: "Flower Urging Order." ”
When this song "Flower Urging Order", Gao Lishi was selected from Huguang and Guangdong for the Ming Emperor's beauty pageant, and then Jiang Caiping, who was beautiful and peerless, was named Concubine Mei after returning to Chang'an. ”
After speaking, he clapped his hands and sat down.
"That's it, I haven't understood the good old days?" Xiang Xuemei's casual chanting, Ishikawa really didn't understand.
"This good time is that Emperor Tang Ming is praising a young woman who has the appearance of a country, and when she marries a young man in time, she will not lose this good time." Xiao Yan knew that Ishikawa was the worst at dancing and writing, so he quickly explained to him.
"And then?"
"And then? , then you have to concentrate on listening to the play! Xiang Xuemei raised her eyebrows.
On stage, the play has begun.
Suddenly, I heard a flute sound, which was ethereal from far and near, and I saw a woman slowly walking out from the backstage.
She has a beautiful face, light makeup, a slender waist that is unbearable to hold, one step at a time, looking at her face, she must be in a very sad mood.
"The willow leaves have not been drawn for a long time, and the residual makeup and tears are red." Her slender orchid fingers were slightly upturned, she cared for Luo Shang, looked lonely, and sang in a low voice.
Although the voice is soft, the aftermath is lingering, and the audience is even more real.
She immediately threw out the water sleeve, and quickly retracted the water sleeve, with a graceful posture, and then sang: "Nagato has no grooming, why bother with pearls to comfort the lonely." ”
The audience forgot to applaud, in the sad flute, in her poignant lyrics, as if they substituted themselves and grieved for her sorrow.
Suddenly, the sound of the flute turned, from the initial sadness to melodious and wide, and Concubine Mei danced with the flute.
I saw her waving her long sleeves, dancing, dancing with the water sleeves, sometimes charming looking back, sometimes flying with the wind, sometimes wanting to welcome and refuse, the posture is soft and elegant, fluttering like a frightening lightness, and just like the falling plum as elegant, dancing and melodious flute sound into one, seamless.
The sound of the flute is melodious, gradually changing from slow to fast, conveying the sound of tenacious courage.
Concubine Mei also danced faster and faster, her body was as light as a spring swallow, spinning and dancing in circles with the wind, really like the swimming dragon, flying in the nine heavens, looking at all beings.
The audience was fascinated and did not dare to make a sound, for fear of disturbing the solo dancers on stage.
Xiao Yan twisted his body and sat down, marveling at the dancing skills of Concubine Mei in his heart, and wanted to talk to Mu Qing several times, but the other party's expression was solemn, so he gave up.
"Huh!" Ishikawa next to him let out a loud exclamation: "This Concubine Mei was relegated to Shangyang East Palace, it should be very desolate, why is this dance more and more vibrant?" Even Ishikawa saw the tenacity of the dancers and asked puzzled.
Xiao Yan was about to speak, but Xiang Xuemei sighed softly: "What about this beauty, when she lived in the cold palace, she wrote "Lou Dongfu" and the white jade flute together with Tang Xuanzong, hoping that she could take care of the old feelings and meet her. But what about this Tang Xuanzong, although he remembered the old days, he was afraid of the new favorite Yang Yuhuan and would no longer see him, so he only sent someone to give her a pearl. ”
"So what happened after that." Getting to the bottom of it is Ishikawa's old business.
"Concubine Mei saw that the pearl did not see Tang Xuanzong, so she was proud, and replied to a poem "Thank you for giving pearls", and returned it with Tang Xuanzong together with the pearl to show her absolute decision. Xiao Yan patiently explained to Ishikawa.
"This is another strange woman." Ishikawa nodded in approval.
"Concubine Mei was originally born in a family, and since she was a child, she has been talented and noble, she has been able to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she knows how to write poetry, and she has compared herself to Xie Daoyun, a talented woman in the Jin Dynasty, and she is indeed a strange woman." Xiang Xuemei's words were all praises for Concubine Mei.
Seeing Ishikawa listening intently, he continued: "She often plays the white jade flute, and creates her own "Amazing Dance", every time she makes this dance, Tang Xuanzong praises it, a brilliance, just imagine such a woman, can she not be arrogant?" If ......"
"What if?" Mu Qing, who never took the initiative to speak, asked.
"If she just marries an ordinary person, her fate will be a thousand times better."
Xiang Xuemei lowered her eyes and sighed, Mu Qing glanced at her several times, her eyes were deep.
On the stage, the dance was over, and Concubine Mei actually broke a plum branch, held it in the palm of her hand, and Shi Shiran walked into the backstage.
The applause was like thunder, waiting for Concubine Mei to come out for a curtain call!
The applause was like thunder, waiting for Concubine Mei to come out for a curtain call!
It's quiet backstage!
"Something's wrong!" Ishikawa was the first to stand up and rushed backstage......
