The third sister, now known as the song fairy, all the singing, regardless of the Cantonese people and Yao Zhuang Shanzi, the song must be provided first, the wisher hides it, and the one who asks for the song will record it. It is not allowed to be carried out, and it gradually accumulates to several baskets. ”

Song fairy Liu Sanmei, there is a grandfather, father, mother and eldest brother Liu Aniu, and the family calls her "third sister".

Hakka folk songs are good at antiphons, which often requires singers to have the qualities and skills of seeing the scene, improvising, and being sensitive.

There is a young man named Luo Yin in the guest land, he has lofty ambitions to be the son of heaven, but in fact he didn't even get into the exam, he lived in seclusion in the mountains in a fit of anger, and entertained himself every day by composing mountain songs.

He wrote so many songs that he filled three rooms. Once, he heard that Liu Sanmei's mountain songs were singing well, and the people were beautiful, and he also let out a rumor: "Sing mountain songs, if someone can win over me, I will marry him."

After Luo Yin heard this, he hired three boats overnight to carry part of his mountain song script to Liu Sanmei to sing a duet. In fact, Luo Yin's mountain song book can fill nine boats, but if he thinks that three boats of mountain songs can't defeat a woman, then what is his surname Luo for?

When the boat arrived at the village where Liu Sanmei lived, she saw a handsome Hakka woman on the shore carrying water, so Luo Yin asked her about Liu Sanmei's residence, and specially explained that she had come to sing and wanted to marry her as a wife.

The woman carrying the water put down her burden, looked at him with a smile, and said, "May I ask sir, how many songs do you have?"

Luo Yin said heroically: "There are nine boats of mountain songs, three boats are in the provincial capital, three boats are in Shaozhou, and the three boats have reached the shore."

After hearing this, the woman smiled implicitly and persuaded: "Sir, please go back, it seems that you are not Liu Sanmei's opponent."

Luo Yin asked in surprise, "Why?"

The woman did not answer directly, but sang improvised with a light singing voice: "Liu Sanmei on the stone, Luo Xiucai on the road, everyone is out of the belly of the mountain song, how can there be a mountain song boat to support it?"

It turned out that this woman carrying water was the song fairy Liu Sanmei, her singing voice was really extraordinary, and Luo Yin was shocked as soon as she opened her mouth to sing.

He rummaged through the songbooks he had written on the ship, but he couldn't get a word right. He was so angry that he threw the Mifune Mountain Song Book into the river and retreated in shame.

The mountain songs that have been circulating in this area have long been famous for their lyricism, lingering, melodious, and tactful, and the image of Liu Sanmei represents the outstanding talent of Hakka women in terms of artistic ability. The reason why its image is so popular is also understandable.

The Hakka people like to sing mountain songs, mainly because of their living environment and the degree of labor, as well as their enthusiastic and optimistic character. As they sang in the song, "Singing is not greedy, singing is to relieve sorrow." ”

……

Liang Biao is a person with a temperament, he doesn't smoke big cigarettes or gamble on the dock outside, but he loves to eat and drink, likes to play with women, and sings mountain songs.

At that time, there were many fireworks women on the wharves along the Xijiang River and the Yangtze River, and the flower boats were often bright and fragrant at night. If the boat is moored on some pier, Liang Biao will go to the handsome girl at night to wander, and he loves to run to the flower boat by the river to seek the amorous woman who was once good to go wild.

Liang Biao is now a strong man in his early twenties, and his mother in the family just grew up to ten years old, so he wanted to ask the media to order a doll for him Zhang Luo, find a girl with a good family and good talent, and say that he will marry him in a few years, so as to start a family as soon as possible to inherit the Liang family, and his mother mentioned a few times that he was not happy, so he refused to agree, and usually only liked to come outside to mess with flowers and grass. often spend their hard-earned wages on the wild women outside, and even take the money to go to the water.

In this way, Liang Biao did not have a good life and saved a few more silver. At that time, the guys on the ship often made fun of Liang Biao, saying that he "had a bowl full of oily sherbets, and he had the intention to plant and not to harvest it".

If the boat passes through a village or ferry, he meets a woman who has a heart, and he usually likes to find words to talk to them, and likes to provoke people with mountain songs. Sometimes if he meets a cautious eye, the woman will scold him; If you meet a thin-skinned person, the woman bows her head and ignores it; If she met a generous person, the woman would sing with him.

Once, Liang Biao's boat passed by a village ferry in Xijiang and saw a handsome woman washing clothes on a boulder under the willow tree at the ferry.

Liang Biao found gossip to talk to the woman, wanting to provoke others. "Pretty girl, take a boat with my brother to Suzhou and Hangzhou to buy rouge gouache for you."

The woman looked up at him carefully, and Liang Biao saw that her big eyes were like water in a river, clear and bright, very charming. I saw her smile, "Don't come back?" ”

Liang Biao was so made by the woman's provocative eyes and smiling face that he almost forgot his surname.

"Okay?" The woman threw another wink at Liang Biao for further teasing.

"Okay! Don't come back, don't come back! Liang Biao couldn't hold back the passion that surged up all over his body, and shouted, "Pretty girl wait for me!" ”

Then he threw away the penny and jumped into the water, trying to chase the woman.

The woman turned around, and Liang Biao looked up to see her combing a delicate bun behind her head, and the rest of her hair hung down her neck to the back of her shoulders and chest, looking very charming. Hakka girls wear long braids, and young women wear their hair in buns. When the woman saw him swim ashore, she laughed and rolled back. Then he stroked a strand of soft hair beside his face and sang:

There is a river under the towering mountain, and the brother is a duck and a sister is a chicken.

The chicken is not the companion of the duck, so I persuaded my brother not to chase my sister.

Liang Biao Singing:

There is a river under the towering mountain, and the brother is the duck and the sister is the river.

How can there be a duck who doesn't love water, and how can there be a lover who doesn't want to be a sister.

Female Singing:

Big brother, don't be too careful, your wife is so spicy.

Go back and twist the back of your ear, and punish you for kneeling on the washboard.

Liang Biao Singing:

Brother really loves his little sister, and he hasn't married until he is twenty years old.

Sincerely tie the knot with my sister, I don't know if there is such a blessing?

Female Singing:

It's my sister who has no blessing to suffer, and my sister keeps an empty room at home.

The girl was born with shallow blessings, and she didn't dare to look forward to her brother being a lover.

Liang Biao Singing:

The stars in the sky are matched with the moon, and the pretty girls on the ground are matched with lovers.

Thousands of brothers don't love it, and they just want to be paired with their sisters.

Female Singing:

Brother is smart and handsome, and my sister is happy to sing.

Trick my sister into the middle of the water, and it's not a dilemma to go back and forth.

Liang Biao Singing:

Brother really loves his little sister, and he says it from the bottom of his heart.

If my sister still doesn't believe it, I'm willing to swear to the sky.

Female Singing:

My sister's family lives in Changhe Bend, and my brother's family is located in Tianlu Mountain.

In the end, my brother is so good to my sister, and it is difficult for each side of the world to become a pair.

Liang Biao Singing:

On the fifteenth day of August, the moon was bright, and I asked my sister to see the osmanthus blossoms.

The sister is the osmanthus fragrance ten miles, and the brother is the bee next to the sister.

Female Singing:

Brother Mo sings and thinks about it, my sister is not on your side.

The thrush only loves to live in the mountains, and the swallow walks away from home.

Liang Biao Singing:

The eighteenth sister is really hearty, don't always make excuses.

As long as your sister is willing, let you wear gold and silver.

Female Singing:

A lover is not afraid of poverty, as long as his brother has great ambitions.

The gold and silver treasure sister doesn't love it, but she only loves her brother as a lover.

Liang Biao Singing:

My sister is really well-behaved, and it's so coincidental that my sister is so good, and it's hard to tell if the affection is good.

In every way, only affection is important, and no one is allowed to lose anyone.

Female Singing:

Brother is smart and handsome, and no one is allowed to lose anyone.

If you have the heart to connect with each other until you are old, you are not allowed to rebel halfway.

Tiangui sings:

If you don't lose your life, you won't lose it, and you won't lose it, and you will be a rival to your family.

Sister, you want to leave my brother, unless the Yellow River flows backwards.

……

In this way, Liang Biao touched the heart of this beautiful girl with a beautiful song, and finally won the beauty.

Liang Biao's woman surnamed Ding won the return of beauty.

After Ding married Liang Biao, he had two in three years, and after giving birth to five female babies for the Liang family in a row, he did not bloom again for many years and bear fruit.

However, after that, I didn't expect that when she was in her forties, she was like a plant in autumn, and only a few days before the leaves and yellow branches withered, she sprouted and bloomed again, and she actually bulged a big belly at the same time as her married eldest daughter Chunhua, ushering in the second spring of her life.

Chunhua's child is a girl, and because of her poor family, it is not easy to support her mother-in-law for a month.

In addition to the poor family background, he suffered from measles when he was a child, and his high fever caused a soybean-sized pam to grow in his left eye. At that time, the eyelid disease was not cured, which caused her to become blind in her left eye when she grew up, her husband who married with a disability was unproductive, and she couldn't even drink sweet wine when the child was born, and she couldn't get milk, and the child was so hungry that she screamed.

When a woman gives birth to her first child for three days, the child's father should go to her mother-in-law's house to make three moves and report the good news. According to the etiquette of the locals, it is necessary to bring sweet wine, red eggs and chickens for the good news.

Of course, if it's a boy, hold a rooster. When a girl is born, she holds a hen. In this way, the mother's family can know whether their daughter is male or female without asking.

Then the mother's family chose an auspicious day, and led the clansmen and relatives to pick up two cans of sweet wine, hundreds of eggs, a few chickens and ducks, a few loads of rice, as well as children's bedding, clothes, hats, fabrics and other gifts, to celebrate the joy of the tile.

But there were no rules in the famine year, and Chunhua's family was already poor, so her husband could only go to her mother-in-law's house empty-handed to report the good news. At that time, Ding knew that his daughter had not eaten, but Ding himself only prepared five catties of glutinous rice sweet wine and dozens of eggs. And when a woman sits in confinement, she generally has to prepare sweet wine made of twenty or thirty catties of glutinous rice and hundreds of eggs before she can use it for confinement.

But at that time, the year was not good, and there was no way, so Ding had to divide half of the things he prepared for Chunhua to eat.

In the past ten days, Ding gave birth to a fat boy, and Liang Biao was so happy that he knelt under the altar in front of the hall, burning incense and paper while kowtowing, and thanked God for blessing his bloodline to spread out.
