Chapter 318: Lanzhou Hong

[Well, keep asking for red tickets~!] ]

.

Princess Gaoyang accompanied Concubine Yin De and left the Xuanwu Palace to see Li Shimin. Concubine Yin De also took the dusty jewelry box to dress up, and wanted to turn back into the radiant Concubine De Niangniang.

Qin Mubai didn't stay long, and left the palace first.

He didn't know if this was a good thing or a bad thing for Concubine Yin De. He only knew that Concubine Yin De did not belong to the Protectorate Tianwang Temple or the Great Horn Temple after all. For her, the empty door of Buddhism is just a resting place after the hurried journey of life, and she cannot finally return. Maybe she is the grass that has been clinging to it for 3,000 years under the cobwebs in front of the Buddhist temple, or the infatuated person who has been exposed to the wind for 500 years and the sun for 500 years, she has her pursuit and the world, anyone can deceive, but she can't deceive herself.

tore off a disguised plain robe and continued her life as a concubine, completing her destiny in this life...... Compared with 3,000 years of looking up and 1,000 years of wind and sun, what is it?

This may be the comprehension of Concubine Yin De.

Qin Mubai will never be able to fully understand Concubine Yin De, her heart may be the peace of a flower and a world, or it may be the magnificence of the stormy waves of the sea.

What does it matter? The scholar who has seen the third mirror will recover from his illness once, why should Qin Mubai be entangled in the life of Concubine Yin De? He also knew that he was not a good man and a woman, and he would not completely change his outlook on life and values because of Master Qingshan's words, nor would he have an epiphany like Concubine Yin De, and sigh like Princess Gaoyang.

However, after all, there is also a bit of a heavy heart.

It's not sad, it's not easy, it's just a kind of sinking. It seems that the heart that has been hustle and flirtatious for a long time has indeed precipitated a lot at this moment.

Men just need to precipitate. Maybe Master Qingshan is right, Qin Mubai is indeed quite a Buddha root.

Leaving the palace, just as the lights were on. Xishi Street is as lively as ever, and this is one of the most prosperous street markets today.

And Qinxian Pavilion is a pearl of the West Market. At this time, it will be full of Chang'an's top poets and politicians and generals who are trending all over the world.

The imperial court is a big stage of history, directing the rise and fall of the world in Kyushu; Qinxian Pavilion is the gathering place of Chang'an's upper class figures, leading Zhenguan Datang to the fullest. Don't be surprised if you see the imperial relatives dancing with Youling Xiaoer here, and don't be surprised when the prime minister and the down-and-out Shizi taste the essay.

If there weren't these, it wouldn't be Qin Immortal Pavilion.

Towering and magnificent, it is not an exaggeration to describe the current Qin Immortal Pavilion. When Qin Mubai passed by the door, he couldn't help but stop and watch.

There is no ordinary wine shop at the door of the coachman Xiao Er, and there is no second-rate warbler standing at the door to show her breasts and expose her breasts to attract guests, only a high-platform jade statue - a woman with a hazy face wearing a milk veil, a golden hairpin and jade ring, holding a pipa, a lotus finger holding an amber jade cup, eyes half-closed drunk and slightly smoked, vivid.

There is quite a drunken charm of a concubine.

On the brightly lit and crowded Xishi Street, this statue stands almost on the street, standing out from the crowd.

It is said that this statue was made of Lantian white jade, and the gold and silver jewelry on the woman's body is also real; The amber cup in his hand was a tribute treasure from the Nannuma Kingdom that Emperor Li Shimin personally selected from his own treasure pavilion when the Qinxian Pavilion was renovated and opened. Every morning, no matter whether it is windy or rainy, the people of Qin Immortal Pavilion will pour a cup of Qin Immortal wine into that cup to feast on all kinds of immortals. Then, in the middle of the night, the glass is taken down and auctioned, and the highest price wins. Regardless of whether it is covered with dust or half of the rain and snow, it will also become a good collector's item, just because it has been drunk by the gods.

Seeing Qin Immortal Pavilion again today, Qin Mubai felt a sense of the vicissitudes of current affairs. Remembering that when I first met Wu Meiniang, Qin Xiange was still called "the first wine in the world", but it was just an ordinary wine shop in the West Market. Three or four years have passed, and the sparrow in the wine shop has become a phoenix, and he Qin Mubai himself has changed from a young boy who has just entered the career to a pivotal ...... "big man".

The corners of his mouth raised lightly and smiled slightly, Qin Mubai couldn't understand the meaning of his smile, it was just a ghost, he walked towards Qin Immortal Pavilion.

In Chang'an, those who can enter the Qin Immortal Pavilion are not small roles. On the road, there were all eyes of concern and envy, probably guessing that this young man was the second-generation gentleman of a prince, or the talented man of this year's new list.

Qin Mubai had a thought in his heart, it was not early, and it should be a good idea to pick up the demon and "go home from work" together.

The gate of Qin Immortal Pavilion was actually closed. It seems to hide the prosperity and luxury in its world, which is not enough to make ordinary passers-by in the West Market mess up.

When I walked to the door and was about to reach out and knock on the door, the door opened automatically.

"Organs?" Qin Mubai was also stunned.

In the next second, a young woman in a pink dress appeared in front of him, wearing a veil and dancing gracefully, and her cloud sleeves spread out in front of Qin Mubai, signaling him to step on her cloud sleeves and walk in.

On the left and right, there stood a row of "Xiao Er" with a beautiful face and dressed in men's clothes, and they all reached out and pointed inward, "Please." ”

Qin Mubai stood at the door and smiled.

Any woman in front of her deserves the word "stunning". But when too many "stunning colors" are put together, they don't look amazing, they only make people think of ...... Wine pond meat forest, pin gold cave.

However, Qin Xiange will never operate a skin and meat business. This may also be Wu Meiniang's cleverness.

"Lost" and "ungained" are perhaps the most precious things in the eyes of most people. Women, even more.

Qin Mubai was stunned for less than three seconds, and a figure passed in front of him and shouted, "If you don't enter, don't get in the way!" ”

The man was already half drunk, staggered past Qin Mubai, took out two money bags and opened them and sprinkled them all over the sky, mostly landing on the cloud sleeves of the maiko.

"Haha, didn't Lao Tzu come in again and be chic? Isn't it just money, what's the big deal! He laughed maniacally.

What came out was not an ordinary copper plate, but a piece of silver cake polished neatly and polished.

The two rows of women put down their hands neatly, and suddenly rushed up to catch the man and threw it out together!

is actually powerful, obviously with martial arts!

The man was thrown and fell to the open space in front of the gate of Qin Immortal Pavilion, and there was a burst of laughter on the road, which was obviously commonplace. The maiko shook his cloud sleeve in his hand, and as if by magic, gathered all the silver cakes into his sleeve and threw them into the air, and the rain of rain, wine, gold and silver fell on the man's side.

"Qin Immortal Pavilion, it's not a place to hide filth and dirt, Your Excellency will come back in the future!" The Maiko woman put away her cloud sleeves and spread them out again, "General Qin, please!" ”

Qin Mubai smiled with interest: "You know me? Who is this man? ”

"Back to the general's words, the first thing anyone who enters the Qin Immortal Pavilion to make a living is to keep the dignity of the Wu Dong family and General Qin in their minds." The Maiko woman prostrated on the ground and said respectfully, "This man is the son of a servant of the Ministry of Rites, and he will lose his temper in the shop after drinking, so he is no longer tolerated in the shop." ”

"Interesting." Qin Mubai couldn't help laughing, and when he looked back, the half-drunk man got up without saying a word, picked up the silver cakes on the ground, staggered into the crowd and left, and didn't scold a word from beginning to end.

As soon as Qin Mubai stepped on the woman's cloud sleeves and walked in, Wu Yuanqing, the shopkeeper of Qin Immortal Pavilion and Wu Meiniang's brother, personally greeted him, and said in surprise: "Mu Bai, it's really you here!" ”

"Well, it's me." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "It's doing well." ”

"Where, where, it is Mu Bai and Mei Niang who are capable, and Qin Immortal Pavilion has today's scene." Although he is Qin Mubai's wife's uncle, Wu Yuanqing is obviously a migrant worker's tone and tone, and he smiled cautiously, not daring to lose the slightest bit of courtesy.

"I'm just here to take a walk, you're busy!" Qin Mubai waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to exaggerate, and many of the drinkers who were sitting in the Tang Dynasty enjoying the large-scale song and dance drama were already looking at this side.

"That'...... Mu Bai will take care of himself, anyway, when he arrives here, it is the same as at home, hehe, hehe......" Wu Yuanqing was a little nervous, and after giving a salute, he obediently retreated.

Today's lobby of Qin Immortal Pavilion is several times larger than before. What you see is a stage several feet high in front of you, on which several women are performing the Jiangnan Green Waist Soft Dance and playing silk and bamboo music. The stage is divided into many small compartments with a fence, and the drinkers sit opposite each other to drink, among which there are many people who are familiar with Qin Mubai, and there are many members of the four or five grades of the court.

On weekdays, most of these officials had already come forward to greet Qin Mubai. But Qin Immortal Pavilion is like a paradise, as long as you enter this door, you will be the same size of your peers. As long as you can enter this door, even if you are just a down-and-out gentleman, you can also hook your shoulders and call your brother when you see the prime minister of the dynasty, of course, the premise is that you have this popularity.

Therefore, many people in the hall raised their glasses with a smile at Qin Mubai, although there was some surprise and hope in their expressions, but no one stepped forward to take it closely. Everyone abides by the current identity as Qin Immortal Pavilion wine guests.

This may also be the atmosphere exclusive to Qin Immortal Pavilion. When you get here, no one should play big names, and no one should be presumptuous. Drink the same wine and listen to the same music, all equally. The son of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites broke the rules and would be swept out of the house like garbage.

Qin Mubai was secretly a little funny: What makes Wu Meiniang so creative and "domineering"? Qin Immortal Pavilion is even more bullish and arrogant than me Qin!

A female junior walked up to Qin Mubai's side, bowed his hand to a gentleman's courtesy, and asked, "What does General Qin want?" ”

"Find a clean pavilion for me to sit and drink some tea." Qin Mubai said as he walked upstairs naturally, and ordered, "Oh, call the demon to sit with me." ”

A look of horror flashed in the eyes of the female Xiaoer, but after a while, she regained her tranquility and gently arched her hand: "General, please come with me." ”

Qin Mubai naturally didn't know that it was almost impossible for the current Qin Immortal Pavilion to invite the demon to accompany the song in person. Maybe she was just showing surprise out of habit, but Qin Mubai tasted the meaning from her expression, and it was not difficult to understand why Li Yuanchang, the king of Han, was obsessed with the demon.

Men have a desire to conquer, and the more they reject an unattainable woman, the more they have the desire to overturn and push her down, which may not have much to do with the woman's own appearance. Li Yuanchang is eyeing the demon, perhaps it is such a psychology.

Later, she led Qin Mubai to an accord on the second floor, the name of the pavilion, "Three Immortals".

"General, this Accord is rarely opened, and the owner said that it will only be opened if she comes in person or the general is here." Xiao Er said, "Also, the three fairies of Qin Immortal Pavilion gather once a month in this room to discuss and learn from each other. At this time, it is the day of the grand ceremony of Qin Immortal Pavilion. The three fairies performed on the same stage once and played the pipa music taught by the general himself. The people who can enter the Qin Immortal Pavilion on this day...... Manchang'an, by no means more than two hundred. ”

Qin Mubai thought of someone inexplicably in his heart, and asked, "Has the King of Han ever been here?" ”

"He comes every time he wants." Xiao Er replied, "And I want to be the closest seat to the stage, so I don't hesitate to make a fuss with Sun Chong, the captain of the horse." As a result, they were both blown out. ”

"Heh......" Qin Mubai smiled indifferently, "It's okay, you go get busy!" ”

"Yes......" Xiao Er retreated.

Qin Mubai walked into the room, in fact, the spring in the room was still the same as when he was the first wine in the world before, and it almost did not change at all. The ordinary yellowed wall and the old couch, the seat where she originally held the demon in her arms and taught her to play the pipa by hand is still there, and she can vaguely imagine the original sitting and scene.

"Mei Niang really has a heart......" Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile slightly, smiling softly. In his mind, Wu Meiniang's fragrant jade face that haunted his dreams.

"I haven't seen her for a year, I don't know how she is now?"

Qin Mubai had just sat down when he heard familiar footsteps from far and near, it was the demon whose eyes had lost their luster but could still walk lightly.

"Third brother!" The demon entered the door, and her voice was full of surprise, "Why are you here today!" ”

In front of the guests of Qin Immortal Pavilion, as one of the three fairies and entrusted by Wu Meiniang to take charge of the power, the "demon child" is the posture of the fairy who does not touch the smell of fireworks. But in the face of Qin Mubai, she is always humble and respectful.

It's like the grass under the cobwebs in front of the Buddha, looking up all the time.

The demon came alone, holding a teapot in his left hand and a small food box in his right hand, reflexively hooked the door with his foot, and walked straight towards Qin Mubai.

Qin Mubai has always wondered, her eyes can't see at all, why can she always tell the direction at the first time?

"You'er, are you happy?" Qin Mubai said with a smile.

"Of course. It's rare for the third brother to come once! The demon replied with a smile, while pouring him tea, and laid out a few fresh fruits and exquisite snacks, "Has the third brother had dinner, do you want to have some wine?" ”

"No, I'm full." Qin Mubai squinted his eyes and smiled, "I'm just here to pick you up and go home with you." ”

The demon's hand froze, and the tea almost overflowed the cup.

"What's wrong, it's unexpected?"

The demon bit her lip and smiled slightly: "A little." Does the third brother want to listen to the tune? ”

"Have you had a new tune lately?" Qin Mubai picked up the tea, took a sip, and asked.

"Yes! I just want the third brother to give me some advice. After that, the demon got up, took a piece of pipa hanging on the wall, and said, "Third brother, this is the pipa you used when you taught me to play music when we first met that day. ”

Qin Mubai smiled and said, "If there is any new tune, play it for me to listen to." ”

"Good. I created this tune, for sure...... It's not too good, the third brother doesn't want to make fun of it. The demon sat down in front of Qin Mubai with the pipa, caressing the strings with her bare hands, as obsessed as a caressing lover, and said softly, "The song is called "Lanzhou Hong". It's a piece that I wrote on my own over the course of a year......"

"Lanzhou Hong?" Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile, "Good song name." ”

The demon's face turned a little red, and her fingers trembled slightly, and she accidentally made an abrupt note.

"I'm in a restless mood, how can I play such a tune well?" Qin Mubai smiled and said, "Demon, you have a lot on your mind?" ”

"Huh? …… Nope! You'er was suddenly a little surprised and panicked, and muttered, "Could it be that the third brother can know before he hears it...... What kind of tune is this? ”

"I'm just guessing." Qin Mubai said, "Hong, is it the Hong of Hongyan's book?" Lanzhou? Not to mention the explanation. You should be a song that expresses your thoughts on the expeditionary soldiers, right? Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream. The family is out on the expedition, and the wife and children are leaning on the door and looking forward to worrying about their stomachs, isn't this such a feeling? ”

"Third brother is so smart...... You'er lowered her head a little shyly and muttered, "It seems that I don't have to play this tune." No matter what, it can't surpass the artistic conception of the third brother. ”

"Bounce." Qin Mubai smiled slightly, "Your own songs, expressing true feelings, are the best songs." ”

"Hmm......" The demon answered, took a deep breath to calm his mood, and played leisurely.

Qin Mubai took the tea and listened quietly.

In all fairness, this "Lanzhou Hong" is indeed unable to surpass the two soft and rigid tunes of "Spring River Flower Moonlit Night" and "Overlord Unloading Armor" just from the objective evaluation of the movement tune. Lanzhou Hong, the beginning of the early stage has the style of martial arts, impassioned and majestic, which should depict the grand scene when the army goes out; The middle part is a transition, sonorous and soft coexist, with the meaning of rigidity and softness.

This can't help but remind Qin Mubai of the time when he just left Chang'an to go to Lanzhou, and missed Chang'an and missed his family. At the banquet when they first arrived in Lanzhou, many people were drunk, and the sound of a melodious flute sounded in the night sky, and many soldiers burst into tears...... This scene is vivid.

Qin Mubai held the teacup in front of his mouth and stopped. Completely caught up in the genre.

The ending is a typical song of grievance and lovesickness, which is obviously depicting the family members who are leaning on the door and looking forward to it, and they are worried about the soldiers who are fighting abroad.

Lingering and compassionate, far-reaching, affectionate, and meaningful.

Qin Mubai couldn't help but cast his eyes on the face of the demon. Under the soft candlelight, her beautiful face and distracted eyes could never connect her with the city. However, the fiery and sincere affection hidden under her elegance made her bright and moving.

If there is really a "bosom friend" in the world, Qin Mubai can affirm without hesitation that he is the bosom friend of the demon. At least for the moment, he was.

He heard the lingering friendship contained in her song, and the selfless silent watch. Maybe she didn't look up romantically and persistently under the cobwebs in front of the Buddha for 3,000 years, and told the Buddha about her heart's desires and obsessions. She is more like an inconspicuous and even a little humble dog's tail grass growing on the side of the road, dancing with the wind in summer, reflecting the red flowers, and sleeping in the snow and returning to dust in winter.

Her arrogance and dustiness, the wind does not listen, the flowers do not ask, Chang'an does not understand; Her loneliness and persistence have always been buried deep in her heart, and have nothing to do with Fenghua and Xueyue.

When the song ended, Qin Mubai understood her.

At this time, there was a sudden silence around. The big singing and dancing outside the Accord seemed to have stopped. The high atmosphere of pushing cups and changing lamps and calling friends seemed to be cold in an instant, and the entire Qin Immortal Pavilion was quiet.

Everyone looked at the inconspicuous room in the right corner on the second floor, which seemed a little shabby and incompatible with the entire luxury restaurant.

Look up.

"Okay-" Suddenly, the whole restaurant erupted in a stormy wave of cheers and applause, shaking the world inside and outside the building, and the people on Xishi Street looked at it in surprise. They saw that many people who couldn't enter the Qin Immortal Pavilion were standing under the west wall and stretching their necks, looking up at the window where the pipa sound floated out, clapping their hands desperately, so intoxicated.

The crowd, almost boiling.

Qin Mubai gently put down the teacup and looked at the demon with a smile.

You'er's expression was a little cramped, blushing, and her head was lowered.

"You've outdone me, you're a demon." Qin Mubai smiled, "Did you hear it, I didn't see it, but the whole Chang'an cheered for you!" ”

The demon hugged the pipa in her arms tightly, as if she was afraid that it would be snatched away, she bit her lip lightly, and said in a voice that was so low that she could only herself: "Even if you can move a city, what's the use?" Eventually...... Still can't touch the heart of God. Because I'm just a mortal. ”

Qin Mubai looked at the demon and smiled.

At this moment, in his eyes, the demon with a slightly red face and gray eyes was more moving than the drunken concubine who drank with the gods outside the building.

Sparrow becomes phoenix?

Such things are not just legends.
