Chapter 243: The Night Banquet (6)
After a while, the maid who had just gone out walked into the hall with a young woman with a high hairpin, a long skirt and a colorful veil, and a pipa in her arms.
This woman has a good posture and can score eighty points. Na Zhe thought to himself in his heart.
Han Xizai patted the table, and the hall gradually quieted down.
Han Xizai said loudly: "Gentlemen, please be quiet, this little lady is Li Ji, the younger sister of Li Jiaming, the deputy envoy of the teaching workshop, she talks about a good pipa, please play a song for us to help the wine." ”
Everyone applauded, and after Li Ji saluted everyone, she sat down on a chair.
She adjusted the lute and began to play.
The sound of the pipa sounded, and the silent night in the south of the Yangtze River was stirred.
The reels plucked the strings three or two times, and the sound was like a complaint, and even the humid air of Auge seemed to condense, and everyone listened intently, indulging in the melodious lute music.
Han Xizai sat on the couch with his eyes slightly closed, playing with the jade cup in his hand, and quietly listening to the pipa music.
Li Ji's performance skills were very superb, everyone listened to it as if they were drunk, time passed quickly, and at the end of the song, the hall resounded with warm applause.
Li Ji stood up with the pipa in her arms and thanked everyone.
Han Xizai shouted loudly: "Okay, Li Ji's skills have improved again!" Reward! ”
Li Jiaming, the deputy envoy of the Department of Education, hurriedly stood up and thanked Han Xizai for his generous reward.
A maid came over with a tray and brought the heavy tray to Li Ji.
Everyone looked and saw that the pallet was full of silver ingots.
Li Ji looked happy, put down the pipa in her hand, and gave a deep salute to Han Xizai, thanking him for his generous reward.
Han Xizai said happily: "No thanks, the old man is happy today, everyone has fun." Li Ji, tonight, Mr. Na Zhe will play a novel instrument, you should take a serious look. ”
Li Ji stood up straight and asked the maid beside her. The maid smiled and pointed at Na Zhe, Li Ji looked at her like autumn water, and Na Zhe raised his wine glass and smiled at her.
Li Ji picked up an empty cup from a table, took the pot and poured a glass of wine, and then walked over to Na Zhe.
Na Zhe stood up, also picked up the wine glass, and waited for Li Ji's arrival.
Li Ji slowly walked in front of Na Zhe and smiled and saluted, "I have heard Mr. Na's name for a long time, it is rumored in Jinling City that your harmonica skills are unparalleled in the world, and today the slave family can finally see it, which is really a blessing!" The slave family toasts you with a glass of wine and wishes you a smooth performance. ”
After Li Ji finished speaking, she covered her face with her sleeve and drank it all.
Na Zhe was a little helpless, he only took a sip, and then said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I'm very shallow, I really can't drink more." Otherwise, if you get drunk for a while, you won't be able to play for you, please understand. ”
Li Ji put down the wine glass, then smiled and said, "Sir, please feel free, the slave family will listen to your performance in a while." ”
Han Xizai laughed and said, "Haha, Li Ji, you find a seat and sit down, eat something first, and listen to that gentleman's unparalleled skills for a while." ”
Li Ji thanked Han Xizai, walked to the door of the hall, and found an inconspicuous place to sit down.
At this time, a petite and delicate girl wearing a blue skirt walked up to Han Xizai and said in Wu Nong's soft language: "Bachelor, the slave family is itchy for a while, and I want to dance a "Green Waist" to cheer up the banquet. I ask for your permission. ”
Xu Xuan interjected: "It turned out to be Wangwushan, your dancing skills are outstanding, and you are a must in Jinling City." You can give everyone a dance, a certain family is very much looking forward to it. ”
Many people shouted and gossiped for Wang Wushan to dance.
Han Xizai nodded, "You can dance a song for the guests, and the old man will beat the drum for you himself." ”
"Come on, loosen clothes for the old man."
Han Xizai stood up, and the two maids hurriedly came over and helped Han Xizai take off his black robe, revealing the yellow underwear inside.
Several servants brought a drum and handed the drumstick to Han Xizai.
Han Xizai took the drumstick, weighed the weight with his hand, nodded to Wang Wushan, slowly raised the drumstick, and then began to beat the drum.
"Knock, knock, knock."
A rapid and loud drum sounded, and Wang Wushan, who had a beautiful face and a full waist in his hand, turned his back to Han Xizai and began to dance.
She turned half of her face from the top of her right shoulder, dressed in a sky blue long-sleeved dance dress, tilted her head slightly, lowered her eyebrows slightly, her sleeves danced, her back was behind her, her right foot was about to step down, and her hands behind her back seemed to be separated from bottom to side, fluttering her long sleeves, with a subtle and charming expression.
When Na Zhe was in the Conservatory of Music before, he once read the information that "Green Waist" is the name of the Tang and Song music and dance songs, and it belongs to the Tang "soft dance" category. It is also known as "Six", "Record", and "Le Shi". The dancers wear long-sleeved narrow shirts, and their dancing postures are light and feminine. The movements are dominated by dancing sleeves. The rhythm changes from slow to fast, and the dance is elegant and agile, like a bird flying in shock. The music of "Liumo" is very widespread, so there is a poem "Liumo Water Tune Sings by Families", and it is often performed as a pipa song.
Na Zhe suddenly remembered, isn't this Wang Wushan the character who appeared in "Han Xizai's Night Banquet"? And Li Ji, who also appeared in that painting!
That Zhe was in a trance, he was able to witness such a historical event with his own eyes! If Lao Tzu can travel back to modern society, then there will be a blow! I don't know if the image of Lao Tzu will appear in the later "Han Xizai's Night Banquet"?
No, the time is wrong, "Han Xizai's Night Banquet" should be a work five or six years later. Moreover, the authors of this picture, Gu Hongzhong and Zhou Wenju, did not come. It seems that Lao Tzu is empty and happy, and it is estimated that there will be no image of Lao Tzu in the "Han Xizai Night Banquet" in later generations.
Na Zhe was thinking wildly, and the hall erupted in applause and applause.
Wang Wushan has finished the whole dance and is thanking the audience.
Gao Yanei took the lead in applauding loudly, but Zhang Yuanheng still looked cool, drinking alone, and it seemed that he was not interested in Wang Wushan.
Han Xizai felt a little tired after some drumming, he went back to sit down, one maid wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the other maid served him to wash his hands.
Han Xizai sat on the chair with his undressing plate, bare his chest, waved a fan to drive away the heat, and then picked up a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp. Wang Wushan stood beside Han Xizai and poured wine and cloth dishes for him.
Cao Deshun came to Na Zhe's side, touched the cup with him, and then asked, "Brother Xian, when are you going to play?" ”
Na Zhe said with a smile: "Brother Cao, I haven't eaten yet, don't worry, don't worry." ”
Xu Xuan next to him also asked: "Then sir, did you promise me that you must come up with a high-level song and lyrics in a while." ”
"Xu Shilang, you can wait patiently for a while. As the saying goes, 'a good meal is not afraid of being late'. I'm sure you're going to be happy today. ”
"Then I'm ready to listen to it and see how many amazing things Nalan Rongruo has, haha."
At this time, five brightly dressed women rushed in from outside, most of them were about seventeen or eighteen years old, some holding Dong Xiao in their hands, and some holding flutes.
Na Zhe saw a graceful woman in the middle, as if she had been struck by lightning suddenly, and her whole body trembled involuntarily.
The woman was dressed in a lake-green skirt, her hair pulled up high, revealing her fair neck. She has a white complexion, like condensation, eyebrows like spring mountains, and eyes like autumn water, and she is an extremely outstanding beauty.
Na Zhe felt his heart beat sharply, and his palms were soaked with sweat. He had never seen such a beautiful girl since he came to this era. Qi Jiuniang, Fu Hongyu, and Cui Yinger are also beauties, but none of them are as outstanding as this woman.
Na Zhe secretly swore in his heart that Lao Tzu must get this beautiful little lady in his hands! No matter what the cost!
The servants brought five chairs and arranged them in a row in the middle of the hall.
Each of the five women sat down and began to try to play with their instruments.
Na Zhe saw the woman in the green dress sitting in the second place on the left, she lightly opened her lips and began to blow the hole flute.
! Looking at the woman's cherry mouthful, Na Zhe swallowed a few saliva and kept YY in his heart.
The five women tried the sound, and at the signal of a woman in a green robe, they began to play.
The sound of the dong flute was low and low, the sound of the flute was crisp and loud, and the melodious music echoed in the hall, and everyone stopped talking and listened carefully to this beautiful music.
The old man who looked at the woman in the green dress with a straight look, opened her mouth wide, and unconsciously drooled.
Seeing this, Cao Deshun gently stabbed him a few times. Only then did Na Zhe come back to his senses and wipe his mouth with his sleeve.
Cao Deshun asked in a low voice, "That virtuous brother, do you have a crush on any woman?" ”
"Huh, how do you know?" That's weird.
Cao Deshun smiled and said: "I see that you look like you are not giving up, staring at a few girls, you must have taken a fancy to others." Brother, am I right? ”
Na Zhe nodded and said categorically: "Yes, I fell in love with the woman in the green dress." I decided that I must take her back to Qishan Island, no matter what method is used. ”
Seeing his resolute attitude, Cao Deshun said softly: "It's not a big problem, she should be the musician of the Han Mansion, if you make Han Xizai happy, and then ask for this woman, I guess he won't stop you." You can take this girl away. ”
Na Zhe shook his head: "Don't be so troublesome, Lao Tzu will take care of her by himself." Brother Cao, just take a look. ”
At the end of the song, the hall burst into applause. The five girls stood up and bowed to thank everyone.
Na Zhe hurriedly stood up and walked straight towards the girl in the green dress.
He walked in a hurry, and his steps were a little staggering. Many people were surprised and didn't know what was wrong with Na Zhe.
Han Xizai frowned, and immediately ordered: "Go and see, what is the matter with that gentleman." ”
Wang Wushan beside him agreed, and then walked quickly towards Na Zhe.
