Volume 3 Spring and Autumn with a Pen Knife Chapter 198 Singing Songs

Different from the angry atmosphere of the Shen family, Cao Yi still had a warm atmosphere here, and he spent the Spring Festival happily, and it was the seventh day of the first month. Cao Yi had already visited all the elders who should be visited, including Cheng Yi Cheng Gong in Jiangning Mansion School, who had also visited him personally. In the next few days, he followed Yang Xingwen and played with the children of various official eunuchs.

On the afternoon of the eighth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Lin, Wang Ji, Ding Yu and others met in Cao Yi's drunken immortal building, everyone has been to each other's home to visit and party in the past few days, and today it is Cao Yi's turn here, everyone naturally will not choose to go to Cao's mansion, but choose to be in the drunken immortal building. After the last banquet, Cao Yi knew that these brothers used to often go to Jinfeng Tower to see Yu Youwei, and they accidentally bumped into it last time, so he specially asked Yu Youwei this time if she wanted to attend together.

Yu Youwei thought about it for a while, and then readily agreed. On the one hand, because Cao Yi has never asked her to do anything since she ransomed her, although she was also asked in a consultative tone at the moment, Yu Youwei felt that since Cao Yi had mentioned it, she naturally hoped that she could attend, if she didn't want her to attend, she didn't have to bring it up. On the other hand, because these people used to be her benefactors, and they have always been gentle and elegant, following the style of a gentleman, so Yu Youwei has a good impression of them. In addition, they are all friends of Cao Yi now, and Yu Youwei naturally wants to give Cao Yi face.

Gatherings of literati and scholars are generally poems against poetry and songs about wine, so Yu Youwei feels that she only needs to play the piano and sing to help the fun and perform during the banquet. But after all these people arrived, they all ridiculed Cao Yi for buying the first Oiran after the golden house was hidden, and also jokingly called Yu Youwei a younger brother and sister, Yu Youwei was naturally shy, but she didn't refute it, and even had a little joy in her heart.

Cao Yi didn't pay attention to the ridicule of his elder brothers, it was nothing more than his brothers ridiculing his younger brother, and he thought it was normal, didn't he and his friends tease each other like this in the previous life. As for Yang Xingwen and others, seeing that neither of them refuted, they felt even more that these two people are now talented men and women, and it is difficult to say that they have become a pair. Everyone felt that if nothing else, Yu Xuanji, who is now renamed Yu Youwei, will definitely become Cao Yi's concubine in the future, so the next thing is to look at Yu Youwei as a younger brother and sister, and never mention what happened in Jinfeng Mansion before.

"Brother Zhaozhengxian, eldest brother, I was reprimanded by my old man yesterday because of you." Yang Xingwen said with a wry smile.

"Me? Why did I provoke Yang Gong? Cao Yi pointed at himself with his finger and asked curiously, could it be because of the matter of letting Yang Xingwen sit as an intermediary and witness before, it stands to reason that this was all acquiesced by Yang Gong at that time......

"That's right, why did Cao Yi provoke Uncle Yang?" Everyone also asked curiously, even Yu Youwei, who had just played a song at the moment and was sitting and resting, leaned her body in the direction of Yang Xingwen, wanting to hear it more clearly.

"Brother Xian, did you write three poems to Duke Lu a few days ago?" Yang Xingwen asked.

Cao Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Yes, what's wrong?" Before, because I wrote 'one shoulder of the bright moon, two sleeves of the breeze' to Yang Gong, it was not, and then Yang Gong must have told Lu Lao. When I went to visit that day, the old man was unhappy and angry because I gave Yang Gong a landscape painting and inscribed it, saying that I would only give him wine and rich eggs during the New Year, and there would be no extra gifts

to him. So that day, in order to please the old man, I wrote three poems and sent them to him. ”

Cao Yi frowned suddenly, and then said with a wry smile: "Brother Xingwen, according to what you said, did Old Lu show off in front of Yang Gong afterwards?" ”

Yang Xingwen shook his head, "This time it's not in front of my father alone, there are also crazy fathers, it's their older generation's New Year party, according to my father, at that time, Lu Lao showed them these three poems, and specially pointed out that you wrote them within the time of a cup of tea." It is said that the madman is very fond of your manuscript written in wild cursive, and asked Lu Lao on the spot to ask for it, but Lu Lao naturally didn't give it, and then the madman muttered that the next time he met you, he would definitely ask you for a few words to ......"

"......" Cao Yi's eyelids jumped after hearing this, and he sighed in his heart, these old naughty boys are so old, how can they still be like children snatching toys.

"That's also a madman, that Yang Gong ......" Cao Yi asked puzzled.

Yang Xingwen took out three pieces of paper from his arms and spread them out on the table: "Oh, my father was like this at the beginning, he also put these three pieces of paper on the table, and then asked me, I will imitate them for you." After speaking, he stood up, facing Cao Yi and them, imitating Yang Gong's voice and said.

"Xingwen, look at these three poems, they were written quickly by Cao Yi in the time of a cup of tea, and the direction of the words was given by Lu Gong on the spot, you take a good look, I don't ask you to write a poem in three teas, you give me three hours to write a poem, and I will be satisfied with my father!" After speaking, Yang Xingwen was still stroking the underside of his chin and short beard, obviously imitating Yang Gong's movements at that time, and then continued to say in a thick voice: "You said that you have been staying with Cao Yi recently, why don't you see you grow in this regard?" Father, I don't have high requirements, as long as you can have half of his poetic talent, you can be regarded as a glorious ancestor! ”

Everyone was made to laugh by Yang Xingwen's vivid imitation, and even Yu Youwei and Jin'er, who was standing, were covering their mouths and snickering.

Wang Ji coaxed at this time: "No wonder when I went out today, I told my father to come to Cao Yi, and he even said to me very gently, 'Stay a little longer, don't rush back!'" ', I said how the sun came out of the west today, usually as soon as I said go out, he couldn't wait for me to walk two steps at the door and hurry back, for fear that I would go out and make trouble, it turned out to be Cao Yi's credit, it seems that I really want to go out in the future, just say that Cao Yi got a ...... here"

"That's a good idea, I'll say the same to my father in the future." Ding Yu followed and said, causing everyone to laugh again.

"Come, let's take a look, our first genius in Jiangning, Cao Gongzi, has written something earth-shattering that has provoked the praise of Elder Lu and many elders." Chen Du spread out the paper that Yang Xingwen put on the table just now, and the others gathered around to watch, Yu Youwei and Jin'er, who were on the side, also wanted to come forward to watch, but they were surrounded by everyone at this time, and as a woman, it was not easy to squeeze in anymore, so he came to Cao Yi, who was sitting on the side, and asked in a low voice: "Childe, which three songs did you write, why didn't you take them out for us to sing a few days ago." ”

Cao Yi said calmly: "Then I can't write a song and tell you again, people who don't know still think that they are deliberately showing off and showing off in front of you, and these three words may not be suitable for you to sing......"

"Hmph, Childe, you don't look down on people, Miss has been familiar with all kinds of lyrics and songs since she was a child, and there is no word card that she can't sing well, so I don't believe that these three young ladies will sing badly." Yu Youwei hadn't said anything yet, and Jin'er, who was behind her, couldn't help but feel sorry for her young lady.

Cao Yi was not angry, still smiling faintly, "Wait until they finish reading it, you can take it and take a look, what I said may not be suitable and not nonsense." ”

When Cao Yi and the three of them were chatting here, Chen Du, Wang Ji, Ding Yu, Liu Chen, and Zhang Lin were also reading the three poems written by Cao Yi to Lu Lao, and while reading them, they had words in their mouths: "What a good word!" ", "Sure enough, he is worthy of Jiangning's first talent", "Don't say three hours, even if I am given three days, I won't be able to write a poem in three months!" "I'm looking forward to Cao Yi going to Guozijian now, and I can earn a good face for our Jiangning scholars!" "Hehe, not only do you have to earn a face, but you also have to slap them in the face like crazy! "Hahaha, that's right! That's right! ”

Yu Youwei and Jin'er, who couldn't be seen, glanced at each other, and then looked at Cao Yi together, Cao Yi shrugged his shoulders as he looked at them, with an expression of "I also want to be low-key, but unfortunately my strength doesn't allow it".

Yu Youwei waited for a long time, and saw that the others were still watching together, and she didn't mean to disperse at all, so she had to clear her throat and say, "Ladies and gentlemen, can you also show Youwei a ...... or two?"

At that moment, Yang Xingwen hurriedly picked up the note, glanced at Cao Yi, and then handed it to Yu Youwei, and said with a smile: "I forgot Miss Youwei, Zhaozheng, you don't want to remind you loudly, let Miss Youwei see our jokes!" ”

Cao Yi had no choice but to shoot back with a white eye for this white eye that flew over, what does it matter to me, I just sat here and didn't say anything.

Jin'er lowered her head and looked at the three pieces of paper roughly, all of which had the names of the words written on them, namely "Linjiang Immortal", "Yongyule", and "Jiangchengzi", pouted, and secretly slandered herself in her heart, Gongzi really looked down on people, these three words, Miss didn't know how many times she sang them, how could there be anything that was not suitable for singing, and she was about to open her mouth to complain about Cao Yi, but her hand was pulled by Yu Youwei.

The two have lived together for so many years, what kind of character is Jin'er, Yu Youwei is naturally familiar with it, and knows that Jin'er is going to fight for herself at the moment, but she only watched a song "Eternal Happiness" just now, and found that it seems that the style is indeed different from what she usually sings, just from the above que, if you want to sing well, you have to practice well, otherwise you can't sing the broad artistic conception inside, Yu Youwei shook her head at Jin'er, continued to look down at the three songs, and after a long time, she raised her head.

"Childe, these three words, it is indeed very difficult for Youwei to sing well, judging from the content of the words, it seems to be more suitable for a strong man, holding a copper pipa, an iron plate, and singing, but Youwei still wants to try it......" Yu Youwei said eagerly.

"Haha, Miss Youwei said it too appropriately, I also think that these three words of Brother Zhaozheng Xian are more suitable for Kansai Han to sing, but Miss Youwei, you are familiar with the rhythm, it doesn't hurt to try, maybe there will be another mystery!" Chen Du echoed at this moment and said.

Cao Yi looked at Yu Youwei with a smile and said, "Anyway, just a few of us, Youwei, you are willing to sing, we still can't wait for it, you are familiar with it first, and then you can start your performance!" ”
