Chapter 006: A song that moved the emperor back then
While the two were talking, the stage had already taken turns to change a lot of beauties, either playing the piano and singing or playing the flute, listening to it for a long time was also annoying, when I was bored, suddenly my eyes lit up, and a woman with a delicate face and a body like a willow came to the stage with a pipa in her arms.

This woman looked very charming and enchanting, and as soon as she took the stage, the crowd immediately let out an explosion-like cheer, one after another.
The woman smiled lightly, leaned over slightly to salute, and said, "Listen to the turbid words and obscure songs, and listen to Uncle Yang Wan of Banyuelou playing for you." ā
Sun Yueling thought that what could be said had a lot of meaning, and on the surface it sounded humble, but in fact, it implied that other people's lyrics and singing songs were all 'dull words and obscure songs', but I wanted to see what kind of ability Uncle Yang Wan, the winner of the Oiran for the second time, had to dare to despise the crowd so much.
I saw her dingding dong play a few times at will, and a clear string sound fluttered out, slowly twisting and lightly, and the string sound sounded like a small bridge flowing water, sounding without stopping, light and continuous, as if the breeze blew a pool of spring water, like raindrops empty steps to the dawn.
Sun Yueling was surprised, but he didn't expect this woman to play very pleasantly, although he didn't know much about the rhythm, but he was still attracted by such an elegant and lingering sound, and he only heard Uncle Yang Wan singing.
When he heard it, he only felt that there was a lingering sympathy, resentment and obsession in the middle, as if there was a woman in the boudoir who was suffering from her husband's return, and she was haggard and sad, and she couldn't help but feel very pity and love for the person who sang the song, for fear of snubbing the beauty.
At this time, the string sound turned, as if jumping on the top of the nine nights, floating between heaven and earth, ethereal rhyme, free and easy, it seems to bring people to the cliff high and low, looking at the moon and stars alone; It is as if you are in a hundred flowers, drunk with the fragrance of blue musk.
She sang the lyrics in her mouth, and she also turned suddenly, and said: "The autumn scenery is worthy of the title, and the red leaves are full of mountains and streams." The pine path is appropriate, and the yellow chrysanthemum wraps around the east fence. Zhengqing bottle poured drum, and there was a white-clothed wine glass. What is the official character? Return, learn to get drunk. ā
Sun Yueling understood a lot of this sentence, "The official character is extreme, what is the goal?" Return, learn to get Yuan Ming drunk" doesn't mean that no matter how big the official is, it is better to go back to the countryside, learn Tao Yuanming to live in seclusion, and live a life without quarrel with the world and a harmonious life between husband and wife.
This is sung to the hearts of many literati, the officialdom is treacherous and changeable, and putting Manan Mountain and getting a boat to enjoy the moon is an ideal life that many people envy and are hard to find.
"It's a good one to learn and get drunk." Li Qifan was so excited that he blurted out.
After Uncle Yang Wan sang this song, his hands were wiped for a while, and a sound as fast as a bowstring sounded continuously, rising up, making a few turns, and rising again, the sound became denser and denser, more and more urgent, and finally there was a tremble, and the string sound disappeared silently, and there was no sound again.
There was silence all around, only the breeze was blowing, the shadows of the trees were swaying, and the autumn moon was in the sky.
The crowd was silent for a long time, and Sun Yueling saw Zhong Yansong of the Jinling Club shouting "Okay", shaking his arms and taking the lead in applauding. The applause in the audience immediately became thunderous, continuous, and Uncle Yang Wan retreated in the applause of everyone.
After listening to this song, Sun Yueling only felt comfortable and relaxed, as if bathing in the moonlight, refreshing to the bones, thinking that this Uncle Yang Wan really deserves his name, enough to be worthy of the "song of the emperor of the year", worthy of being the winner of the Oiran for two consecutive terms, according to this, it seems that this year's Oiran is also the second Shu.
Such a song, such a sound, such a rhyme, I am afraid that this song is only because it is in the sky, and it is rare to hear it in the world.
After that, several women took turns to perform on stage, but after listening to Uncle Yang Wan's song, all the music seemed to be discolored, and they couldn't arouse their interest anymore, so they couldn't listen to it interestingly, and said to Li Qifan: "Why didn't you see the beauty of our Tianxiang Courtyard appear?" ā
"Haven't you already performed it?" Li Qifan shook his head and sighed, "Where is your mind, the one who played the flute in front is it." ā
Sun Yueling thought about it, it seemed that there was a performance, but at that time he patronized and talked to Li Qifan, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and the woman was not very good, no wonder he would ignore the past, and said: "Our Tianxiang Courtyard is also a famous courtyard by the Qinhuai River, and it is on par with the Half Moon Tower under the Wende Bridge, why is the beauty who appears so unbearable?" ā
Li Qifan said: "I am also very puzzled by this, I don't understand why the beauties sent by Tianxiangyuan are always worse than those of Banyuelou, as far as I know, Tianxiangyuan used to have a peerless famous prostitute, which can be described as a beautiful Jiangnan, and later was actually brought to Yixiangyuan in Beijing by the old bustard Yunniang of Tianxiangyuan to accompany those dignitaries and dignitaries, which really made many people feel sad when they broke their glasses."
"Send our famous prostitutes from Jiangnan to Beijing to accompany those who are officials?" When Sun Yueling heard this, he was angry and said, "What's so great about being an official, is it worth slapping a horse like this?" Tianxiang Courtyard is so large, and it is a famous building in Nanjing, why do you want to do such a thing, and you don't rely on those officials to eat? ā
Li Qifan smiled bitterly and said: "I am also as you think, many people also think like this, and some people have questioned Yun Niang's actions, but unfortunately it is useless, Yun Niang said that it was her voluntary, not forced, and then someone went to the capital to see the famous prostitute and asked, sure enough, as Yun Niang said, the famous prostitute is greedy for the prosperity of the capital, and is reluctant to leave." ā
Sun Yueling was speechless for a while, thinking that he was greedy for wealth and glory, and it turned out that famous prostitutes were not exempt from vulgarity.
After some time, the moon was approaching, most of the courtesans had finished performing, only a few were still waiting to take the stage, many people had quietly withdrawn from the square, the crowd began to disperse slowly, Sun Yueling estimated that there was probably no wonderful show, so he invited Li Qifan to return together.
Li Qifan saw that it was getting late, and said: "It's okay, anyway, there is nothing to see this time, come back in three days, when the beauties compete for the top three places, it will definitely be exciting." ā
The two followed the crowd to go out, along the way back, through the square to the Wende Bridge, to the bridge, Li Qifan pointed to the Qinhuai River flowing under the bridge, said: "Legend has it that Li Bai in the Tang Dynasty came to this bridge on November 15, looked down at the flowing water under the bridge, and saw that the left and right sides of the bridge reflected half of the moon, so the 'half of the moon on the Wende Bridge' became the Qinhuai scenic spot, I don't know how many people came to watch, but unfortunately it is now the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, can not see this beautiful scenery, it is a pity in life." ā
Sun Yueling pointed to the half-moon tower with colorful lights hanging under the bridge in front of him, and said, "Could it be that the half-moon tower in front is named after this?" ā
Li Qifan nodded and said, "That's it." ā
