12. Boating across the river
After hearing this, everyone present cheered, and Gao Yue was also inexplicably grateful, and looked at the group of kind-hearted female donors, "How can you afford such kindness?" β
"Alas, don't say that, Gao Saburo, the neighbors all know that you have a gambling contract with the saint Son of Heaven, and we don't want you to be beaten to death by the stick of Jingzhao Mansion because of the next rank." One of the eldest female donors said, and then the rest of them all nodded, clasping their palms together at ten, as if they were praying together for good luck in the coming spring for Gao Yue.
This scene made Yun Shao on the side also very moved, so he also blinked his eyelashes and closed his eyes, clasped his palms and muttered a few words, and couldn't help praying to the Bodhisattva for Gao Yue.
"What did he and his cousin do?" Yunhe couldn't help but have a somewhat complaining tone.
"Li Niang, on March 3 of the next year, if you can continue to participate in the banquet of Gao Langjun, how good it would be." Yun Shao didn't have any trouble, and laughed calmly, "I don't want Gao Langjun to die. β
Gao Yue was a little stunned at this time, looking at Yun Shao's sweet smile, he only felt that the entire Beishan Ten Thousand Trees were competing for flowers, and the colors were mixed with clouds.
"She should feel that she is very happy at this feast."
But what Yun Shao didn't expect for the time being was that her fate with Gao Yue was far more than that in the future.
At this moment, He Nanmu was out of breath, and climbed up angrily with a few maidservants, and immediately asked Yun Shao, Yun and the two sisters to leave quickly, but Yun Shao didn't do it.
"Mixed with these subordinates, the prince knows that it is not easy to spare!" He Nanny said intimidatingly.
But before the words fell, Wei Cigong next to Gao Yue raised his hand and made a gesture.
In the midst of an exclamation, a team of mules and donkeys, under the banner of "Little Sea Pool", came carrying countless splendid silks, "Supporting the curtain for Gao Langjun!" Then a side of brocade and silk was surrounded by bamboo poles, around the boundary of the North Mountain to the Moon Lantern Pavilion, a huge field screen was circled, and people exclaimed again and again - the mountain trees fell and the flowers fluttered down, and the splendid silk cloth complemented each other, which can be described as beautiful.
At this time, Emperor Daizong on the Ziyun Tower was also dumbfounded, he looked at the splendid color of Longhua Temple all over the mountains, and he couldn't find the words to describe it for the time being, but Li Sheng, the Divine Commander, reminded, "Xiao Haichi Xiao Yi said, immediately the cloth and silk that the Holy Lord rewarded the children of Shence Juju will come from." β
"Oh, Xiao Yi and Gao Sangu know each other?" Daizong didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional.
"I didn't recognize it before, but since His Majesty recognized Gao Sangu, why didn't he Xiao Yi get acquainted?"
"Oh, haha." Emperor Daizong seemed to be quite satisfied with Li Sheng's explanation.
Beishan, Mother He was surprised, standing in place, looking around in surprise, speechless, because she didn't know, why Xiao Haichi, who was so rich and rival the country, would come to help a student who was in the first place?
However, before she could come up with an answer, Gao Yue stood in place, raised his hand, and shouted to everyone, "How can there be no wine in the banquet, come to wine!" β
With Gao Yue's shout, a cypress boat slowly sailed out of a bay in Qujiang surrounded by new willow iris, and all the people in the banquet were immediately attracted to it.
On the big boat stood a delicate dancing girl, stepping lightly on the wine altar, with clear golden bells hanging from her arms, dancing to the beat of the bells, and eight painted clothes swaying in the wind, like a goddess descending to earth.
At this time, not only the people who went to the banquet were stunned, but the Shence sergeant who bowed to His Excellency Moon Lantern was also stunned, and they all turned their heads and looked at the dancers on the boat, even Gao Yue on the top of the hill was stupid:
"I didn't expect it, Cailuan refiner said that she was the first dancer in Zhongling (Zhongling, near Nanchang City, Jiangxi Province), I only thought she was half-bragging, and I was afraid that it was true when I saw it today, and I never thought that my master Cailuan was so beautiful under the costume!"
And on the moonlight pavilion, Xue Yaoying, who was dressed in a pure white feather coat, saw Wu Cailuan dancing on the boat through the flying eaves, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Sister Cailuan, it is as gorgeous as in the past, not less than it was back then." β
Wu Cailuan was hired by Gao Yue for a full five times, and it was really a blade, and as soon as he appeared on the scene, he would shine half of Qujiang.
After the boat, among several musicians, Wang Tuantuan sat on the pestle, his voice pierced through the clouds and cracked stones, and sang "Boating across the River":
"The river is wide and repaired,
Yang Du returned to the rock.
Painting the crane in the waves,
Flowers flying on the sail ......"
The cool singing sound floated straight to the Shangshu Provincial Pavilion on the other side, Zhu Sui and Wang Biao stayed for a long time, and then they seemed to wake up, turned their ears, and then saw the green flies circling around on the plate, and looked at the sleepy musicians and prostitutes on the seats.
Under the fluttering willow branches, the entire apricot orchard came and went, and there were no more than ten people.
The noisiest thing is still that Li Feng and Yu Wenhong, the two of them are standing at the entrance of the garden, making each other, and the politeness is endless.
The rest of the people seemed to have completely forgotten the apricot garden banquet of the new jinshi.
"Alright, let's all disperse." Zhu Sui retracted his clothes and said this sentence weakly.
"Fairy!" Your Excellency Moon Lantern, the officers and soldiers of the Shence Military Academy forgot to continue to bow, they all had their mouths long, and they stood in place, staring blankly at Wu Cailuan dancing on the boat.
On the north mountain, everyone who went to the banquet was even more silent, only the singing of Wang Tuantuan remained.
Soon when it came to the fifth beat of the dance, Wu Cailuan's dancing posture became faster and faster, like the spring breeze and the sun, gently twisting slowly, constantly covering his face with his left and right sleeves alternately, his eyebrows appeared and disappeared from time to time, and the last flute rose suddenly: Wu Cailuan spread his sleeves, and then the clothes and belts flew up, and the bang kicked a bow ball from the boat.
The bow ball was tied with a bell on it, and with a whistling sound, it drew a gray-white arc in the mid-air of the Qujiang River, and flew towards the heads of the group of Shence disciples of His Excellency Moon Lantern.
"Stay, stay!" Gao Chongwen was the first to shout.
Then Shang Kegu over there, a high-nosed and deep-eyed general surnamed Anxi, jumped up with Gao Chongwen's shout, and there were about seven or eight Shence disciples with him, all of whom wanted to stop Wu Cailuan's bow.
The crowd of people attending the banquet on the north mountain, including Yun Shao, held their breath.
The bell rang, Shang Kegu and all the children who jumped up all flipped to the ground, and Wu Cailuan's bow ball fell beautifully into the bamboo pole goal of the Shence Army.
Then, the people under the colorful silk screen and the shed all burst into loud cheers...... As the wine altar was placed on the shore from the boat, the whole feast reached its climax.
Under a big tree on the top of the hill, Gao Yue, Wei Cigong, Liu Deroom, Xie Shanji, Huang Shun and other Taofen Shed members picked up the wine cup, looked at the clouds in the sky, and congratulated themselves in unison: "Sooner or later, we will all be in time, the warbler will come out of the valley in the fire of a thousand torches, and the crane will rush to the sky after a bell!" β
With that, Gao Yue gulped down the wine in the cup, only to feel the heat rise from his stomach to his throat and hair, and then he shouted and raised his armβthe tossed cup rolled in the air, and then crossed the canopy of a tree on the slope of the North Mountain, and fell into the grass, never to be seen again.
