Chapter 407: Singing and Joy
Gong Lou, 0M/Composed of five buildings of light and dark wine. The eaves are sub-lighted, magnificent, every night, the candlelight sways up and down the alum tower, and all kinds of colored lights compete for glory between the eaves and tiles. There is a long patio in the building, and on both sides are lavishly decorated private rooms, and the women dressed in fancy clothes gather in the corridor, the clouds and temples are shining, and Luo Qi is fragrant.
There are 100 singers and maiko in the building, which can be used for more than 1,000 people to feast and drink, singing and dancing, which is such a scale, but the guests received every day are overwhelmed, and it is a little late. Even princes and ministers may be turned away.
Soon after, the vehicle slowly stopped, and the splendid, majestic and elegant building more than 100 steps ahead was the destination of the trip, not that they didn't want to arrive directly, but as Song Qi expected, the alum tower came to gather with a lot of traffic. Maybe a few steps later, there really won't even be a chance to enter the building.
From the outside, the alum tower is convex and uneven, layer upon layer, and the delicate and exquisite carved windows of the vermilion column are scattered. The wings of the clusters are like flocks of birds flapping their wings. The momentum is magnificent, and the decoration seems to be even more gorgeous than a year ago, Chu Zhen sighed in his heart, looking at the magnificent pavilion. I recall the thatched huts where the poor people lived outside Hangzhou, which were so shabby that they could not withstand the wind and rain. It feels like a world away.
"Jing Chun, let's go."
It seems that Song Qi's reputation is still very effective. handed over the name post, and a guy came out to greet him. Invite them into the courtyard, where the fifth floor is connected. From time to time, you can see the ancient trees are lush and green, and the bamboos are green. Most of the houses between the buildings were closed, and occasionally a few birds hovered on the eaves, but bursts of laughter floated from inside.
"Master Song is here." At the right time, there was a soft voice, but when the kabuki in the corridor saw Song Qi and a few people, she hurriedly greeted them, surrounded them, and complained coquettishly: "The bachelor hasn't been here for a long time, have you forgotten the slave family?"
"I'm not wronged, I came here yesterday." Song Qi was gentle and defensive, but his behavior was very regular. However, he couldn't stand a group of charming women who hugged him lightly and rushed towards him.
As for Chu Zhen and Lu Xiaqing, well. has been squeezed to the outermost layer, what about the young and handsome, Bianliang City is full of streets, and it is not worse than the two of them. And he is also a green-robed official, he doesn't even have an octopus fish bag, and he is definitely not the son of a lord and magnates, how can he compare with Xiao Song.
"Brother Chu, I saw it, so I didn't want to come here." Patting Chu Zhen on the shoulder, Lu Xiaqing sighed: "It seems that I have no sense of existence." ”
"Hehe, in fact, Brother Lu should think about it from a different angle. If no one cares about us, who will pay the bill? Chu Zhen said with a chuckle.
"Brother Chu, that's a lot to say." Lu Xiaqing's eyes lit up slightly, and her heart knotted suddenly, and the bill was handed over at that time. With Song Qi's good-looking personality, how can he shirk it. At that time, hey, hey.
"What are the two boys over there? Let's go, Nuanchun Pavilion, there are still compartments there. Song Qi shouted, enjoying all the tenderness. Surrounded by several female playwrights, he walked inward
Go.
Walked a piece of Xuan. Everyone entered the Warm Spring Pavilion. I saw that there was a very spacious hall inside, which was decorated with elegance and luxury, and the innermost was a high platform, with two floors upstairs and downstairs, and the downstairs was an ordinary seat, and the upstairs was surrounded by elegant seats, separated by thick wood, decorated with red velvet, and was specially designed to entertain those who had status, status, or talent.
At this time, the hall was already crowded, and it was full of all kinds of people, most of whom were literati and wealthy businessmen. As for the dignitaries, they are naturally upstairs. As soon as Song Qi walked into the hall, he heard bursts of shouts, and sang and danced on the stage. The orchestra sang in unison, and a group of very pretty women sang and danced out, each holding a flower basket in their hands, singing movingly, dancing beautifully, and pleasing to the eye.
"Bachelor, upstairs, please."
After all, he has undergone professional training, and Song Qi is also a frequent visitor here, a high-ranking official of the imperial court, and the guy who is responsible for greeting the guests is naturally impressed, and immediately stepped forward to salute.
"It's Xiao Song!" "Master Song is fine.
Song Qi is a celebrity after all, and there are many people in the hall who know him, so they all got up to say hello, and some young scholars simply came over to greet him. If your skin is a little thicker, you may still be entangled with your peers.
For Song Qi, this is just a small scene, full of smiles and a slight return salute, but the pace does not stop. Walk straight to the building, only when you meet someone who can be friends, you will stop slightly, talk a few more words and then go away in harmony, and others will be flattered and accused.
This is the demeanor of celebrities, the aura of a big man, Chu quality. It's still far away, and the case in front of me can prove that there are hundreds of people in the hall, who can recognize who the attendant next to Master Song is, wooing and mourning the concubine. Chu Zhen should be glad that if he wasn't still wearing an official robe, he would definitely be mistaken for a low-status long-term servant.
Of course, gold will always shine, some people are like fireflies in the night, although there is only a little light, at least they still get the love of the little girl who likes to flutter fireflies with a light Luo small fan, just like now, in the corner of the pavilion, looking at the lonely Chu Qian, a pair of pretty eyes are shining with brilliance.
In the compliment, Song Qi was free to pay for it, but he couldn't shirk it, and he couldn't bear everyone's enthusiasm. smiled and said that he stepped forward to drink half a cup with him, and in a moment, before entering the wing, he had two points of redness.
"The two boys, especially Uncle Zhu, really don't have any eyesight."
Walking into the compartment, Song Qi immediately complained: "I gave you a few looks, but I didn't know how to step forward to block it, and I knew how to forget this grievance."
"Bachelor, it's not that I'm stupid, it's just that there are a hundred flowers around you, and you just have the heart to help, but you don't get involved in the gaps, Lu Xiaqing is naturally wronged.
This is also Song Qi laughed, and when several female actors next to him saw Lu Xiaqing comparing them to flowers, they were also happy in their hearts, and smiled and thanked them.
"Don't laugh." Sitting down, Song Qi said, "I specially brought you two young talents, but you left people out in the cold." I regretted it later, don't blame me for not reminding me in advance. ”
Looking at the two of them, the women's eyes lit up. But I heard Song Qi continue: "This Lu Gongzi. The secret pavilion is handsome, a future bachelor, as for him, "don't mention it, save me the limelight." ”
Naturally, it was Chu Qian, but the female trick next to him was skeptical, you must know that Song Qi is famous for his love of jokes, especially on Fengyue occasions, no one can tell whether his words are true or false.
A year ago, even if there was a female singer who had seen Chu Qian. knew his reputation, but he was not very familiar with it, and his current appearance was slightly different from before, so he naturally couldn't recognize it, and secretly guessed that maybe this person was just a petty official who didn't enter the stream, but he didn't know how to attach Song Qi, so he deliberately raised it.
Lu Xiaqing took the lead in saying: "Xiao Song always says some jokes to make people, I'm not you, let alone a scholar, even a scholar, I don't dare to expect extravagant in the future." ”
Of course, Chu Zhen would not admit it, and said with a chuckle: "As long as you are here, forgive the kid for being ignorant, I really don't know who else in Bianliang can win the limelight of the bachelor."
There was no doubt in their hearts, and several female servants nodded resentfully, and Song Qi became closer and closer.
Although I know that you two boys are flattering, how can it be so happy to listen to Song Qi smiled and beckoned the two of them to sit down. There is no need to command, there are guys serving delicious food.
The rooms are elegantly decorated and have plenty of space. The screen bed and couch are all complete, and the banquet begins, Song Qi does not hesitate to take off his shoes and half-lie down, and he doesn't need to do anything, he has his own red face next to him, warm fragrance in his arms, lip wine secretly crossing, and the orchestral music is faint and fluttering, which adds a bit of interest.
Relatively speaking, Chu Zhen is relatively thin with Lu Xiaqing, and he can't do such a profligate thing. can only obediently sit at the bottom and consider themselves. Mutual respect.
Chu Zhen was not surprised by this situation for a long time. This is a dynasty that embraces prostitutes and concubines, singing and dancing, when Song Taizu released the military power with a cup of wine, inspired and induced Shi Shouxin and other ministers to sing and dance more girls, drink and enjoy each other every day, in order to end his days. Since that time, the ethos of society has been
。
Above the imperial court, scholars and doctors can talk about the scriptures, history, festivals and political facilities, and after retiring from the court, they will wander in the fluttering red sleeves. drunk and laughing at life, and Song Qi's several romantic stories are even more talked about by the world, and they have been praised and recognized by the literati at that time, which is the great writer Su Shi in the future. also accepted a few concubines, the famous Wang Chaoyun, when he met Su Shi, he was just a thirteen-year-old girl, older than his eldest son Su Mai
The same is true for the elites of the times, even if there is a direct minister like Fan Zhongyan who is worried about the country and the people, what can he do, it is destined to become a tragedy. As for Chu Zhen, after entering the palace, he realized that he was vast and vast with thousands of officials, and Zhu Zi was mixed. What is the reason of the little Jixian School, don't take yourself too seriously.
And Chu Zhen doesn't think that Song Qixi is a bad person, just like you can successfully oppose Fan Zhongyan's new policy, but you can't stop people from worrying first and then being happy. And vice versa, even if you can't watch Song Qi singing and dancing, drunk and dreaming of death, you can't blame others for not, after all, this is people's attitude to life.
"The swallows murmur, the scenery is long and the day is long. Look at the garden, thousands of flowers like embroidery. Begonias are penetrated by the rain rouge. Liu Zhangong eyebrows, green whisk pedestrian heads.
To the suburbs, I am afraid of singing hand in hand. Drunk, still looking for fragrant wine. Asked the shepherd boy and pointed to the lonely village: "In the depths of the apricot blossoms, there are people there."
A song of brocade is sung slowly, but it is Song Qi's new words, which depicts the spring scenery of peach and willow green, flowers and birds, and vividly expresses the pride and joy of the outing and feasting, and the words are full of the infatuation and love for the spring scenery and the yearning and appreciation of the outing and feasting life, which is the true portrayal of Song Qi's attitude towards life. Jing Chun, it's a pity that you haven't come back that day Song Qi told him about the party that day, regretted it, and said as if he was happy: "Actually, for me, it's better if you're not there." ”
"Why is that?" Chu Zhen smiled and raised his eyebrows.
"Knowingly asked." Song Qi smiled: "But then again, I didn't have you to give some opinions." I'm not sure if it's perfect. ”
Several female actors looked at each other when they heard this, and seemed to be a little incredulous, looking at Chu Zhen with an indifferent expression. I wonder if I'm really blind.
"Master Song, you haven't introduced the slaves yet. What do you call these two handsome?
The waves are shining, and the voice is charming, but this female trick is clever and does not inquire directly. It shows that Song Qi is the mainstay, not commensurate with officials, highlighting the uniqueness of Chu and Lu Fuqing, after all, there is nothing in Bianliang City, and there are many officials, so it is too ordinary to call it so.
