Text Chapter 1 Recruiting relatives for songs

Next Chapter

Just after noon, the Datang Street in Xincheng County, which was a pit for seven days, began to be deserted. This is a far cry from the usual bustling polders until the sun goes down, with most of the vendors closing early, and many shops closing their doors as they rush to North Street......

North Street, it looks like something big is about to happen.

However, judging from the joyful expressions of the people who flocked to North Street, even if something big happened, it was definitely a happy event.

However, no matter whether there is a happy event or a funeral, anyway, all this has nothing to do with Wei Shihao, who is in a hurry to go home.

Before dawn today, Wei Shihao and his partner in the village, Li Maozai, each carried a load of herbs and rushed to the Datang polder to sell. The scale of Datangwei is larger, and the price is higher than that of Jingliu Weichang, and Wei Shihao has to make at least two trips to Datangwei to sell herbs in a month.

Wei Shihao, an eighteen-year-old young man, is 1.8 meters tall, handsome and chic, although he is not as good as Pan An, but it is not much different.

Wei Shihao is not only outstanding in appearance, but the two thin mouths are more like smeared honey, and his voice is not good, the words that come out of his mouth can be said to be heard in every sentence, so his popularity is particularly good.

No, Datangwei dispersed very early today, but Wei Shihao's herbs had already been sold out, if he hadn't helped Li Maozai sell them, he would have closed the stall and gone home.

"Brother, let's not sell it anymore, collect, collect, hurry up and close the stall, it's too late." Li Maozi rolled up the rotten grass mat on the ground, and urged Wei Shihao to close the stall.

"What are you anxious about? It's still early, and after a while, it's sold out, and it's not too late for us to go home! There are only these two handfuls of herbs left, and at least a few copper plates can be sold! Wei Shihao was puzzled and persuaded Li Maozi to sell it for a while.

Wei Shihao's home is in Jingliu Village, only thirty miles away from Datangwei, both of them are martial arts practitioners, and they will be able to reach home after an hour or two. Closing the stall so early, Wei Shihao disagreed.

"How much is it worth? If you miss the show, you'll regret it. Li Maozai snatched the herbs in Wei Shihao's hand, put them in a roll of rotten straw mats, and hung them on the flat pick.

"What's the show? Look at your urgency. Wei Shihao couldn't help but be curious.

"Haven't you heard? The daughter of the rich man's family on North Street set up a singing platform at the entrance of the mansion to recruit relatives to the mountain song! Look at the flow of people pouring into North Street on the street, it must have reached the high * tide, no matter how late it is, you won't be able to catch up! Li Maozai said excitedly.

"Huh? You rotten cat, why didn't you say it earlier? Why don't you hurry up? If you catch up with Gewei, even if all the herbs are not sold, it will be worth it. Let's go, why are you still stunned? As soon as he heard that someone had set up a song piston, Wei Shihao couldn't help but feel excited, and pulled Li Maozai to North Street.

On the square at the gate of Xiangfu on North Street, it was already crowded with people.

I saw a big red cloth like a rainbow across the gate of Xiangfu, and there was a big red flower tied with a red cloth on the door, which was very festive.

In the square, about five steps from the gate, a small singing platform is made of bamboo and wooden boards, and five or six people sit on the singing platform. In the center, wearing a pink ayaluo, with a peach blossom face and Zhu Dan in her mouth, is the eldest lady of the Xiang family - Xiang Sina. This woman is outstanding, sixteen years old, and the matchmaker has stepped on the threshold of her family, but she has not yet had a matchmaker, let alone a relationship with others. She once vowed that she must find a man with outstanding singing talents and extraordinary looks to marry, or she would rather stay alone in the empty house for the rest of her life. The Xiang family couldn't screw Xiang Sina's stubborn temperament, so they agreed that she would take the stage to recruit relatives to Shange.

There is only one request to the rich man: the man who is with Xiang Sina to the mountain song, regardless of his status, must be an outstanding offspring, once he wins the mountain song, Xiang Sina will marry him.

Today, there are more than a dozen handsome young people who have come to meet Sina, but unfortunately the singing talent is average, and no one can match her, and they all go to the side to cool off.

At this time, Xiang Sina looked unhappy, felt that it was boring to talk about herself, and was about to sound the gong to withdraw the troops!

Located to the left of Xiang Sina, an old man wearing a top hat and a thin face is the famous Xiang Rich Man in Datangwei with a lot of wealth. At first, he didn't agree with his daughter singing mountain songs on stage to recruit relatives. And now that so many offspring have come, they have not been able to compare their daughters, which really gives him a face to his parents, so he is smiling and drinking tea with a teacup. The two maids behind him kept shaking fans for him.

After taking a sip of tea from Xiang Sina, she walked to the middle of the stage with light steps and sang again:

Sister's hydrangea table hangs,

I don't know which one it is?

Hydrangea when you don't pick it up,

Leave your hands free to play with the mud.

The year after that, my sister turned eighteen,

Sing a mountain song to find your mother-in-law's house.

Singing to the magpie bridge,

I didn't see Ah Ge all the way.

Xiang Sina's singing voice is crisp and slightly sad, like a lark chirping, and like a copper bell, it is as pleasant as a copper bell, and the love is sincere. She opened her mouth, and the audience applauded, but unfortunately, her singing voice was telling people that she didn't find the person she liked to sing, and this song was about to end here.

Wei Shihao, who had just arrived, heard Xiang Sina's song, and no one came to join him in the stands, Xiang Sina was a little embarrassed, so he sang happily, right:

The strong have their own strong hands,

The mountain song export town is Kyushu.

If Getai withdraws the marriage contract,

Brother is willing to sing two songs.

This song is mellow and very penetrating, and the song is even more domineering. Xiang Sina followed the prestige, her eyes lit up, a good brother from nowhere, tall, angular, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, is her ideal love brother, and this singing is not bad, I can't help but feel moved.

After squinting at Wei Shihao, who was singing to the rich man, he laughed out loud and said to a respected old man who invited him to listen to the song: "This is a good queen!" ”

"Well, yes, this song is also well sung. Good, good, good, it seems to be him. The old man said, and the two old men laughed to themselves.

Xiang Sina was secretly happy in her heart, wasn't the person she was looking for such a brother?

Xiang Sina, who wanted to close the stage, sang loudly again:

The little brother standing in front,

Do you really want to sing the right song?

Today, Ah Mei is interested,

Singing conditions are up to you.

Wei Shihao sang:

Sing and sing,

I'll talk about the singing conditions first.

If singing wins you,

……

Wei Shihao had just sung the third sentence, and Xiang Sina immediately picked up:

Your mother, my name is Mother!

Wei Shihao only sang and played with her, and then continued to sing:

I'll talk about the singing conditions first,

Let's test my sister's IQ first.

What bend, bend to the sky?

What is round, in the middle of the water?

As soon as the singing stopped, Xiang Sina immediately continued to sing:

The moon bent and bent into the sky.

The lotus leaf is round, in the middle of the water.

After that, the two entered a fast-paced duet.

Wei Shihao:

What is high, high to the sky?

What round round, sold on the street?

Xiang Sina:

The mountains are high and high to the sky.

Baba is round and sold on the street.

Wei Shihao:

What is long and sold on the street?

What round, sister?

Xiang Sina:

Penny is long and sold on the street.

The mirror is round, and the sister is in front of her.

Wei Shihao:

How do you stand tall, sister?

Xiang Sina:

Brother Lang......

You're high up in front of your sister......

After singing to Sina, she turned around shyly, her face flushed, and she didn't dare to face Wei Shihao.

"Haha, brother, look at it, she's shy." Li Maozai felt that Xiang Sina was interested in Wei Shihao, so he said jokingly, and everyone laughed along, and they all understood in their hearts that this Miss Xiang was confessing to the other party!

Wei Shihao smiled but did not answer.

Xiang Sina turned around and sang:

The moonlight illuminates the return to the family,

Mountain songs warm the hearts of sisters,

People have surnames and come to the mountains to be famous,

Dare to ask where is Brother from?

Wei Shihao just wanted to have a singing addiction, and he didn't want to have a relationship with Xiang Sina, but the other party had already asked his name, and it seemed rude if he didn't answer, so he sang:

Brother Kwa flies into the sky,

The song fairy couldn't be embarrassed when he heard it,

Singing Brother Jingliuzai,

The surname Wei Shihao did not dare to change.

At this point, the picky Xiang Sina has been impressed by Wei Shihao, who is a talent, and after drinking this sentence, he turned around shyly, walked to the background wall of the song platform, cushioned it with a stool, and took off the exquisite hydrangea hanging high in the upper left corner, wanting to throw it to Wei Shihao.

This hydrangea is embroidered by Xiang Sina with a needle and a thread, colorful and extremely beautiful. According to the customs and habits of the Zhuang people, when the sister of the family grows up, she will embroider the hydrangea, and when the favorite brother appears, she will throw it to the other party as a love object. This move represents that Ah Mei likes the man. If the man receives the hydrangea, it means that the man also likes the woman, and the two sides start to fall in love, that is, to talk about love, and even more so, to talk about marriage directly!

"Brother, you are so blessed! Miss Xiangjia, this is taking a fancy to you! Li Maozi excitedly poked Wei Shihao with his elbow.

Wei Shihao is not blind, why didn't he see the significance of this situation? He was already dumbfounded. Before the song, he had already stated that he had withdrawn the marriage contract, so he sang it, what is the eldest lady of the Xiang family doing?

But any elder brother of the Zhuang family can see what Xiang Sina is going to do.

"Let's go!" Wei Shihao is not a fool, how could he not understand the meaning? He pulled the corner of Li Maozai's clothes, and the two jumped to the cornfield behind them, and disappeared without a trace.
