Chapter 36: The Toad Palace
Early that morning, in the inner city, Qishengfang.
In the early morning, the eldest princess of Luanmei was playing the piano in the garden, and it didn't take long for a young girl to walk through the flowers and walk towards her: "Sister the eldest princess?!" ”
It was Xiaomeng who came to the eldest princess's mansion, she is now in the eldest princess's mansion, and she is wearing the title of "female guard with a sword", theoretically, she is the eldest princess's personal bodyguard, so she can naturally come in casually. In fact, due to some well-known reasons, the people in the palace did not treat her as an ordinary female guard, and the eldest princess was also like a sister to her.
Seeing Xiaomeng coming, Princess Luanmei held down the strings and said, "Sister Xiaomeng!" ”
Xiaomeng said: "Sister Eldest Princess, my brother asked me to bring you a poem!" ”
The eldest princess of Luanmei said happily: "Take it and take a look!" ”
Xiaomeng took out the Shu note with new words written, and the eldest princess of Luanmei took it, spread it out and looked at it, and said happily: "This is the song of "Toad Palace Introduction"! ”
Xiaomeng said with a grin: "My brother said, he wrote it for you, ask if you like it?" ”
The eldest princess of Luanmei's face was slightly red, and she looked at the words on the note over and over again, and she couldn't put it down.
At this time, a maid came to report: "Your Highness, the spring note of the Meiyutai has come to ask for a meeting." ”
The eldest princess of Luanmei said: "Let her in!" ”
The maid went as ordered, but Xiaomeng was puzzled and said, "Chun Jianli? How did she come here? ”
Princess Luanmei said: "Two days ago, Chun Jianli came to see me and confessed that she had stolen the sword dance of Thirteen Niang during the Lantern Festival, and said that she had made amends to Thirteen Niang. I asked Mingmei, and Mingmei said that there was indeed such a thing. Since she knew she was wrong, I forgave her. In the past two days, she often came to play the piano and discuss music with me, with unique insights, which is rare, and we talked for a long time yesterday afternoon, until the queen mother sent someone to let me enter the palace, and it was interrupted, I said that I would talk again today, but I didn't want her to arrive so early. ”
Xiaomeng thought to herself: "The knife I cut on Chun Jianli's back is not light, she has only been back to Meiyutai for a few days, why is she jumping around?" Thinking again: "My brother said that she is most likely a Zoroastrian, just because, now we are facing Zoroastrianism, only she has a clue, so she can spare her life, and now she finds the eldest princess sister, is it really just to play the piano, or is there another purpose?" ”
Confused, Chun Jianli had already been led in by the maid, and saluted in front of the eldest princess Luanmei: "Jianli has seen Her Royal Highness the eldest princess!" He smiled again and said, "It turns out that Sister Xiaomeng is also here?" ”
On the bright side, Xiaomeng and Chun Jianli have only met twice, once in the Luzhong County Palace, and the other time on the third day of the third month of March, by the river outside the city...... Although this was in the case that Chun Jianli didn't know that the "Twin Knife Filial Daughter" who almost killed her was Ning Xiaomeng.
Since the other party took the initiative to show affection, Xiao Mengzi also returned the gift. Chun Jianli said: "Little Dream Sister came to the mansion of Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, but Ning Gongzi made a new word?" ”
Since that time, after Ningjiang wrote "The Sky Connects the Clouds and the Dawn and the Mist" in the December drum song in Kongshan, he used popular music to "fill in the words", which slowly began to prevail. Especially a few days ago, Qin Hongyun, a famous prostitute from Yuehu, moved Jinghua with a song "Red Lotus Fragrance Residual Jade Autumn", and the talented and beautiful people in the capital were all happy to fill in the lyrics.
The poetry world, which has almost reached a dead end, has emerged with a new atmosphere because of the prevalence of lyrics. Although there are some old stubborn and large numbers of "lyrics" kitsch, difficult to get into the elegant hall, etc., but they can't stand the love of the talented and beautiful people all over the city. The famous prostitutes in Fengyue also asked people to help write new words, and all kinds of ancient songs also radiated new vitality because of the prevalence of lyrics.
It's just that although talented and beautiful people have written lyrics and composed music and showed their talents, Qin Hongyun's new word "Red Lotus Fragrance Residual Jade Autumn" made by the ancient song "A Cut Plum" is a standout, although no one knows that Qin Hongyun's words were actually copied to her by Ning Jiang.
There is kindness to repay kindness, and there is revenge to revenge! Ning Jiang and Qin Hongyun did not have any friendship, but at that time, Qin Hongyun risked offending the prince of the county prince's mansion, Bao Qing and others, and reported the news, if Ning Jiang hadn't killed Bao Qing, Bao Qing, who had already found her, would never let her go.
Counted as a reward for Qin Hongyun's secret news that night, Ning Jiang copied the famous lyricist Li Qingzhao's "Red Lotus Fragrance Residual Jade Autumn" to her in another world, anyway, he couldn't use this poem, after all, he was a man, and it was impossible to write a sentence like "Explain Luo Shang lightly and go to Lanzhou alone". And Qin Hongyun, with this song, stood out from the famous prostitutes from all over the world.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, "filling in the words" is still a new thing, and at present, it can compete with Qin Hongyun's "Red Lotus Fragrance Residual Jade Autumn", only Ningjiang's song "The sky is connected to the clouds and the clouds", although both words were copied by Ningjiang Li Qingzhao, but of course others did not know.
Later, the eldest princess of Luanmei asked Xiaomeng to ask her brother to help her make some new words, and Ning Jiang copied a few more songs, although they are not as good as "The Sky Connects the Clouds and the Fog" and "The Red Lotus Fragrance Remnant Jade Autumn", but they are also talented masterpieces.
At present, the beauties in the capital are all happy to sing Qin Hongyun's "One Cut Plum" and Ning Caizi's words, this situation is probably like in another world, the wind of "filling in words" has just begun to prevail for a long time, and everyone is competing to sing Liu Yong's new words. It's just that everyone knows that Ning Caizi is only willing to fill in the words for the eldest princess Luanmei, so he stared at the eldest princess's mansion with a blank eye, just waiting for the eldest princess to squeeze out a lot of new words from Ning Caizi.
As for Chun Jianli, Ning Xiaomeng suspected that she had ulterior motives for approaching Princess Luanmei, which really misunderstood her.
Although she was humiliated by Ning Jiang in the Ministry of Shangshu's Mansion, Chun Jianli also let people see her amazing piano skills. The sword dance is better than Duan Thirteen Niang, and the piano art is almost not lost to the eldest princess of Luanmei, the piano and sword are both unique, and the "first beauty in the capital" is also worthy of the name. Especially Duan Shisanniang is getting older and more popular, after all, Princess Luanmei has a special identity, she is the sister of the Son of Heaven, and it seems to have the peculiar attribute of "the groom who died on the day of marriage", so only Ning Jiang's madness dared to tease her.
Although Chun Jianli is a double sword and a sword, known as "the first beauty in the capital", but the sword dance in the palace of Luzhong County, was pressed by an "unknown mysterious girl", although the piano skills are good, but at present, the wind of lyrics in the capital is rising, only good songs without good words are not good.
Naturally, she can't snatch Qin Hongyun's "Red Lotus Fragrance Remnant Jade Autumn" to sing, but the new words that are currently popular in the capital, except for the new works of the eldest princess's mansion and the first talent in Tongzhou, are mostly mediocre.
As a "beautiful woman" who was humiliated by the first genius in Tongzhou at the banquet, Chun Jianli is of course not good at singing his new words.
It's just that for some reason, since that day, after being rescued by Ning Jiang, I have always remembered him in my heart. On the one hand, he was moved by his almost meticulous and wholehearted care after she was seriously injured, and on the other hand, his "disgusting" was still in his ears, and he was ashamed every time he thought of it.
Only in this way, for Ning Jiang, she didn't want to care about him, but somehow she cared more and more, wanting to be grateful to him and repay him for saving his life, but she couldn't forget his humiliation of herself.
I want to hate him and hate him, but I feel inexplicably that this person is completely different from those who can only bee and butterfly around her, only know how to spend time and drink but do not have many real talents, although maverick, but there is real talent and real learning, although arrogant and hateful, arrogant and arrogant, I don't know how to pity flowers and cherish jade, but, but when I take care of people...... It can be so gentle.
On the one hand, she swore never to sing Ning Caizi's new words, on the other hand, every time Ning Jiang had a new work flowing out, she would involuntarily copy it, lie on the bed, play with it in every way, only feel that it is subtle everywhere, every sentence is read, and the aftertaste is endless.
And the reason why she came to the eldest princess's mansion, although it was in the name of talking about the qin and music, but, deep down, she would also ask herself in a low voice, is it really just because of this? Or is it because I just want to get close to the water and get the moon first...... Was it possible to see his new words earlier?
That kind of indescribable feeling is so wonderful that even Chun Jianli herself can't figure it out, how can Xiaomeng understand?
Seeing Chun Jianli making an excuse to approach her brother and wanting to steam and braised the eldest princess sister, she naturally suspected that she had ulterior motives.
Ning Xiaomeng will be here, Chun Jianli actually doesn't know, but somehow, after seeing Xiaomeng, she can't help but want to please her, and the reason is difficult for her to explain. Ning Xiaomeng was wary because of her deliberate flattery...... You said that my brother called her "disgusting", and I also stabbed her, and she smiled so sweetly when she saw me...... There must be a ghost behind this, right?
It's impossible that because she is a masochist, she was scolded and cut and then happy?
When Chun Jianli saw the Shu note in the eldest princess's hand, a strange wave floated in her heart, and the smile on her face did not decrease, and she said, "Your Highness, this is ......"
The eldest princess of Luanmei said softly: "This is the tune of Ningjiang Gongzi leaning on the tune of "Toad Palace Introduction", the lyrics of the new work! ”
Seeing that Ning Xiaomeng was here, and the eldest princess was holding a Shu note in her hand, Chun Jianli had actually guessed that although she wanted to pretend not to care at all, her eyes were already bright. pretended to be careless: "It turned out to be a new word for Ning Caizi, I don't know...... Can you take a look at it? ”
The eldest princess of Luanmei knew that there was a mustard between Chun Jianli and Ning Jiang, especially when Chun Jianli was in the capital, and she wanted to pursue her family son and wealthy young master, and Ning Jiang's two-word criticism of her made countless famous children dissatisfied. Fortunately, Chun Jianli does seem to like lyrics and songs, although she has a holiday with Ningjiang, but in her house, the two talk about Ningjiang's poems and lyrics the most.
She had the heart to resolve the conflict between the two of them, so she smiled and handed over the Shu note.
Ning Xiaomeng naturally didn't take it to heart, she really didn't understand the lyrics, she only knew that what her brother wrote could be used to sing, and it seemed to be very powerful. In fact, at this moment, her mind is not all here. The reason why she came to the eldest princess's sister's house early in the morning today was actually because of her brother's explanation.
Not only her, but Qin Mo, Qin Ze, Qin Kan, Qin Wuyan, and Qin Xiaoya'er all either left the city or appeared in a crowded place, my brother said, this is called "alibi evidence". The last time my brother did this, there was a big case of dismemberment in the capital, so I don't know today...... What does my brother want to do?
Chun Jianli spread out the Shu paper, read it carefully, read it word by word, and was surprised and delighted in her heart, this poem, I am afraid that it can be compared with Ningjiang's own "Heaven Connects the Clouds and Clouds" in Kongshan, and Qin Hongyun's "Red Lotus Fragrance Residual Jade Autumn", its dexterity, and even exceeding, are enough to pass on the masterpiece.
After reading it once, I couldn't put it down, and I couldn't help but reread it several times, and the joy in my heart was indescribable.
Until he noticed the gaze on both sides, he looked up reluctantly, only to see the eldest princess looking at her suspiciously, Ning Xiaomeng tilted her head, staring at her with wide eyes like a new thing. Her face was inexplicably hot, and Hongxia flew up her cheeks inexplicably......
***
At the same time, a high slope outside the city.
Qin Mo and Qin Kan were looking up together, looking at something in front of them.
Qin Kan spread out the drawings in his hand and carefully studied all the details. Qin Chuan's five meanings are different, although he is known as the "Drill Ghost", but in addition to the art of drilling the ground, he actually learned the technique of the wooden armor mechanism passed down by his father-in-law.
It's just that the things in front of them have nothing to do with their father-in-law, and they are all made according to Ningjiang's design.
Qin Mo also looked at this slightly huge thing and said, "This thing, can it really fly?" ”
Qin Kan said: "For the aerodynamics that the master said, in fact, I don't know too much, the materials and shapes are made according to his design, especially the thin wings on both sides, which are the things that were created with great difficulty, some of the small parts in it, please help the cadres who are good at casting, they don't know what we are doing, let them build, are disassembled parts, today is the first time to assemble." ”
Qin Mo said: "Then fly and take a look?" ”
Qin Kan said: "This ...... Theoretically...... There is no problem, the master is a reader, and there is only a golden house in the book...... What he designed, there must be no problem. ”
Qin Mo said: "Then fly quickly!" ”
Qin Kan said: "Besides, didn't the ancients have records? There was once a master of the Mo family who was proficient in the art of wooden armor and created a wooden bird that could fly on the beam for three days and three nights......"
Qin Mo said: "I know, I know...... So fly fast! ”
Qin Kan hesitated for a moment and said, "Boss, you said, this time, what did he want to do when he asked us to leave the city either in front of the soldiers defending the city, or to appear in a crowded place?" The last big case of dismemberment, was it really done by the master? But he was obviously in the tribute courtyard......"
"That's not what you should ask," Qin Mo said, "You fly for me!" ”
"That's it, that's it!" Qin Kan gritted his teeth and strode forward, "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return...... Boss, if I plant it......"
"Don't worry, I'll collect your body!"
"Hey, I mean save me," the man cried, "don't just give me up the treatment, okay?" ”
