After Qin Tian waited for Cheng Chumo and others to finish singing, he walked to the front of the stage: "Everyone said, are you still satisfied with the song that our Chang'an Band brought to you just now?"

"Good..."

"Satisfied, very satisfied.."

"Can you sing it again, I haven't heard enough of it"

"yes, yes, sing it again."

.....

"I've already felt everyone's enthusiasm, today is just a trial opening, we will have more exciting performances in the future, absolutely unseen and unheard of, okay, next, I will bring you a song, before singing this song, I will tell you a story"

When the audience heard that Qin Tian was going to tell a story, they all quieted down and listened to what story Qin Tian was telling, even the people who sat down in the corner were very curious, if it was Li Ke and they would be surprised if they saw it, that's right, these people are the parents of these second-generation officials.

"In ancient times, there was a dignified character, affectionate and temperamental poor students, after the death of his parents, he built a thatched hut in front of the grave, studied hard during the day, and kept the spirit of his parents at night, and his filial piety spread in the township, and was praised by the people."

"After the expiration of the three-year period of filial piety, remembering the ancient precept that there are three unfilial pieties and no queen, this poor student wants to find a wife and start a family. Perhaps it was destined in the dark, but by chance, a poor student met a woman with a good figure by the lake, and he was shocked at first sight. The two talked for a whole afternoon, and they had the feeling of being friends at the end of the world and hating each other. ”

Qin Tian's story is very old-fashioned, but in the current Tang Dynasty, the story of talented and beautiful women is a topic that all people never get tired of hearing.

"That night, they went home separately, and the talented man of the poor family was full of the woman's voice and smile, and after opening his eyes until dawn, the talented man asked someone to inquire about the origin of the woman, and wanted to conclude a good relationship with the woman." Just when everyone thought that the talented and beautiful woman would love the marriage and achieve a good story, Qin Tian's words changed, and the story made waves: "I thought that woman was a young lady from a big family, but the final result was beyond the expectations of the talented man, she turned out to be a famous local Oiran, a Qinglou woman." ”

"Hey."

When Qin Tian revealed the identity of the woman, Situ Yanran, who was standing behind the scenes, may have thought of her origin, and couldn't help but empathize and sigh heavily. Not only Situ Yan, but also Shangguan Wan'er and Murong Xian, who came with them, were the same.

On the one hand, he recognized the woman he loved in this life, and on the other hand, there were secular rituals, and the talented man of the poor family fell into a great entanglement. He had tried to forget, but the woman's every move, a smile seemed to be engraved into his bone marrow, and it didn't linger at all. After several devastations, the talented man of the poor family made a decision and wrote the poem "If you have to become a star, why die, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal". ”

"Well written!"

Qin Tian's ability to tell stories and render the atmosphere is extraordinary, and when he said the poems written by that poor genius, the audience couldn't help but clench their fists and applaud.

"If you have to become more than your eyes, why die, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal...... I'm afraid there is no such infatuated man in the world. ”

The corners of Murong Xian's eyes were slightly moist, and she felt empathy, if that person was willing to do this to her back then, I was afraid that she would let her die for him, and she was also willing.

"Qin Gongzi, what happened later, are they together?"

Many young ladies and maids below asked, and the others also fell silent in an instant.

"Later, the talented man of the poor family was under tremendous pressure, and took out the only ten taels of silver and asked the matchmaker to propose marriage."

Qin Tian continued:

"Some people say that the talented man is a toad who wants to eat swan meat, and some people say that he has a hot brain and will definitely ruin his future future, but he can't care about it."

In fact, the Qinglou Oiran has also been obsessed with the talented man since she saw it, and even had the idea of following him from Congliang, but the scientific examination is imminent, and she doesn't want her appearance to affect the life trajectory of the talented man. When the matchmaker came to propose marriage with all the belongings of the talented man - the ten taels of silver, the Oiran almost agreed to him desperately, but in the end, she controlled her ** and decided to leave everything to the sky. ”

When the matchmaker was leaving, the Oiran handed her a note and a heavy hundred taels of silver, and told the matchmaker that if the talented man of the poor family could match the upper link on the note, it would be the destined marriage of God, and she would immediately redeem herself from the Qinglou, and go away with the talented man incognito; If he can't do it, then the two of them have no chance, let him take the one hundred taels of silver to Beijing to catch the exam. ”

"The matchmaker told the words of the Oiran to the Hanmen genius completely, and the genius opened the note, but saw a line of beautiful small characters written on it: '氷 (Tong Bing) cold wine, a little water, two points of water, three points of water'."

"Qin Gongzi, what about below, what about below? Did the poor man come out of this couplet? Did he get together with that Oiran? ”

Just as he was talking about the key point, Qin Tian suddenly shut up again, and those young ladies and maids just now urged anxiously.

Qin Tian sorted out his thoughts and continued: "After entrusting the couplet and silver to the matchmaker, the Oiran waited for three months in a row, and there was no news from that talented man. Oiran only chose to take the silver to Beijing to catch the exam, and for a while he was ashamed and annoyed, anxious and angry, and finally spent all his savings to redeem himself from the Qinglou and fled away. ”

"Is this the end?"

The maid at the bottom had a trace of anger on her face, and took advantage of Qin Tian's pause to interject: "This Oiran is also really, since you like that talent, go find him!" Now that I have left unclearly, I have no conscience, and I wasted the infatuation of the talent! ”

"I said it's all because of that genius, after taking the couplets and silver, why didn't he hear from him for three months? If you want me to see, all the things he did before were pretended, and the purpose was to deceive the Oiran of money! Another little maid apparently had a different opinion.

"Qinglou, Oiran, hehe, how can anyone really like her with such a woman?" Murong Xian's face was bitter, obviously supporting the little maid's statement.

"The story isn't over yet."

The maids chattered and quarreled, Qin Tian rolled his eyes, Ya, if you can guess the direction of the story, how can you mix it up?

Oiran went away, buried his feelings for the talented man from a poor family, married an ordinary farmer, and lived a dull life for three years. For the past three years, Oiran was tormented by the pent-up feelings in her heart every day and night, and finally, with the encouragement of the farmer, she returned to her homeland and decided to find a talented person and ask what was going on. ”

"After much inquiry, Oiran finally found the matchmaker back then, and after telling the matchmaker about her intentions, the matchmaker looked at her with a very strange gaze, and finally sighed: 'Let's go, I'll take you to meet the genius.'" Oiran was extremely nervous, it's been three years, he should have become an official, right? Will you remember this woman who once lived on flesh and skin? ”

"The matchmaker took Oiran out of the village, and the more she walked, the more desolate it became, and the more sparse it became, the Oiran was puzzled, so she couldn't help asking, 'Haven't you arrived yet?' The matchmaker stretched out her hand and said, 'Here it is, there it is.' Looking at the matchmaker's finger, the Oiran was suddenly struck by lightning! Ahead is a mass grave, and what the matchmaker is referring to is a small dirt bag, a dilapidated lonely grave! ”

"Ahh

The story has taken a huge turn at this point, and Zong Qin Tian didn't explain it, but how could the young ladies and maids present not know the meaning of the lonely grave? For a while, the hall was amazed, stunned and sighed, all with a desolate look on their faces.

"The matchmaker told the Oiran: 'When the old woman handed over the couplet to the talented man, the talented man did not think about tea and dinner every day, and meditated hard, but he never thought of the next couplet. Later, when I heard that you left the Qinglou and didn't know where to go, the talented man cried and coughed up blood and died of depression. After he died, it was the old woman who cooked for him, and the house was full of papers, and all the writing was the couplet you came out of—a little water, two water, three water'. ”

"Oiran's heart is like a knife, and she kneels in front of the grave of the talented man in a daze, and tears are like rain! She hates it so much, hates her willfulness, and causes the tragedy of the genius's life, and she also hates this providence to make people and destroy lovers! In the midst of the tears, Oiran saw that the clusters of lilac stamens behind the grave of the talented man were blooming brightly, and she wept blood and said, "Lilacs, 1000 words, 1000 words, 10,000 words." The talented man from a humble family used his life to make this mournful couplet. ”

Almost all the stories of talented and beautiful women circulating in this era end in a match made in heaven, but Qin Tian's story is off the beaten path, and the story is full of ups and downs, but in the end it ends with this kind of tragedy, pointing directly to the hearts of the people! Where can those sensual ladies and maids still be able to control their emotions, bowing their heads and sobbing, even Murong Xian, Shangguan Wan'er, and Situ Yan's eyes are shining.

That's too easy to fool, isn't it?

The audience was almost shrouded in deep sadness, Qin Tian came to the side of the guzheng, sat down cross-legged, and said in a low voice: "Do you think this is the end?" ”

"Zheng Zheng!"

After plucking the strings a few times, the audience, who were immersed in grief, were shocked by the sound of the piano and looked at Qin Tian in confusion. Qin Tian didn't pay much attention to it, and his ten fingers gently twisted and slowly twisted on the strings: "After leaving in front of the grave of the talented man, the Oiran made a song with all her hard work, and then committed suicide and died, following the talented man. This song "Lilac" is tactful and desolate, but it is the truest portrayal of Oiran's heart. ”

The sound of the piano was first paused, and then a mournful rhythm flowed out of the fingertips, shocking: "The grave is full of flowers, how beautiful you desire." Look, all over the mountains, do you still feel lonely? Listen, someone is singing, that song you love the most. How much is the world, and there is no need to worry about it anymore...... You left in such a hurry, leaving me to worry about ...... rest of my life."

"Woooooo

This is amazing, this story is distressing enough, coupled with the mournful melody, deep voice, and easy-to-understand lyrics and songs, the little maids who are not deeply involved in the world can no longer hold back and cry happily.

"Brother Qin, this person is necrotic, and he tells a story that makes people's hearts and intestines broken!" Situ Yanran wiped the corners of her eyes and said with red eyes.

The sound of the piano gradually slowed down, the sound became smaller and smaller, and finally the piano was silenced.
