Chapter Twenty-Seven: Linjiang Immortal Wins the Championship
Facing more than a dozen pairs of fiery eyes, Tang Xixi smiled faintly, lowered his eyelids, and said: "Thanks to the kindness of all the officials, the slave family is here. After a pause, her eyes moved, and she continued: "The following are the lyrics, you are all talented, and you must be handy.www.biquge.info ”
Rong'er, who was standing behind her, stepped forward and said, "Please sing the lyrics, if someone else says the name and author of the word, it will be considered a loss; If you can make words on the spot, no one will know it, and only one person is the best; If there are many people, then my girl will judge the merits. ”
Hearing the exam questions, everyone was silent for the time being. Analyze the meaning of the exam questions, singing the old words will be broken by others, and only what you do is a more sure way to win. But how many of these people have such literary talents?
"Guo doesn't know much about poetry, so he won't show his ugliness." Guo Chen was self-aware, so he first found a step for himself, and said in a low voice: "I can see the peerless appearance of the Oiran lady, and a certain wish is fulfilled." This school examination saw the two brothers show their talents. Two brothers, you must fight for a certain family. ”
Chen Hong was thinking intently, and only nodded slightly at Guo Chen's words.
Meng Jiucheng smiled and said in a low voice: "There are some things that the younger brother wants to figure out tonight, but it is not for the Oiran lady." It's just that Brother Guo is going to break the bank, and the younger brother will be in the future-"
"Don't say anything about paying back." Guo Chen's eyes rolled and interrupted unhappily, "Brother Xian, although he does something, he will add luster to his brother's face." ”
Chen Hong was gradually a little surprised, and glanced at Meng Jiucheng. If you are not in a hurry downstairs, how can you go upstairs, and you are so anxious, how can you be full of confidence? Is it to envy the beauty of this Oiran girl?
I'm not, but anxious and curious.
Meng Jiucheng's words could only be held in his heart. If Tang cherishes it, it is indeed beautiful, but later generations are used to seeing idols, stars, and dream lovers, and the makeup is naturally not comparable to ancient times, and even the aesthetic views are different from those at that time.
Seeing that the hour was not early, Meng Jiucheng wanted to find out Rong'er's origin and the deep meaning behind the anagram as soon as possible, so that he could go home early. It all shows that Tang Xixi is a performer and not a person, and he can't touch it, Meng Jiucheng really doesn't have that elegant bone to chat with the beauty for a night.
"Officials, which one will sing the lyrics first?" Rong'er smiled and asked.
Before anyone else could answer, Chen Hong gradually rolled his eyes and said: "Here, here, my brother Meng already has it, and I don't know anyone." ”
This guy! Meng Jiucheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but quickly guessed Chen Hongji's general thoughts.
Just now he answered Guo Chen, and he seemed quite confident, so Chen Hongjian might fill in the words, but he was afraid that he would not do well and be compared by himself, and his face would be dull; Listen to your own words first, feel that you can surpass, and then he will fill in the words, which is called preemptiveness.
Moreover, in front of the beauty, it is false to say that you are not tempted. Chen Hong gradually pushed himself out, and there was a sense of admiration in his words, although he was suspected of cheating him, but he also made himself resentful.
As soon as the words fell, more than a dozen eyes came over, and even Tang Xixi, Rong'er, and Mingzhong looked at Meng Jiucheng with pretty eyes. This cheating hasn't started yet, why did Meng Jiucheng jump out? Is it really talented and confident?
"Brother Xian, really give my brother a face." Guo Chen's mind was not so complicated, and he thought that Meng Jiucheng was already confident, so he stretched out his thumb to praise one, and said loudly: "This is Guo's good brother - Meng Zhusi, who is talented and has a good export." Let's listen to him sing the lyrics, finish the exam early, and leave early, so as to save noise. ”
Brother, you really dare to blow for your brother!
Meng Youtian smiled, and at this time he had no choice but to stand out, he got up and arched his hand to the four sides, and said, "It's ugly." Sing the song Linjiang Immortal in the next place, please give me a lot of advice. ”
Tang Xixi's eyes showed appreciation, stretched out his white hand, gently stroked the piano, and began to play, that is, accompaniment.
You must know that the oral performance of Song Ci had a considerable scale in the Song Dynasty, and it was especially prominent that the courtesans sang the lyrics.
Generally speaking, there are roughly two forms of its expression: one is that the lyricist fills in the lyrics on the spot, and the courtesan performs in public; The second is the words that have already been created and have been widely disseminated through writing, and the courtesans perform them according to the audience's on-demand.
To put it simply, the tune corresponding to the word card is relatively fixed, Meng Jiucheng said Linjiang Xian, Tang Xi regretted his kindness in solving the word puzzle, and wanted to express his gratitude, so he came to accompani.
As soon as the piano sounded, Meng Jiucheng couldn't sing anymore. Magnetic eyes were stunned, looking at Tang Xixi, his mouth slightly open, not knowing what he was thinking.
Tang Xixi's face turned red, he lowered his head slightly, and the piano stopped.
Everyone laughed, only thinking that Meng Jiucheng was fascinated when he saw the beauty, and some thought that he was deliberately showing off to attract the attention of the beauty, some whispered, and some showed disdain.
In fact, this wronged Meng Jiucheng. Because he was not very familiar with the ancient tunes, he did not know how to sing the lyrics in harmony with the accompaniment.
The sound of the piano stopped, but seeing that everyone behaved differently, their eyes were sarcastic, gloating, and disdainful, Meng Jiucheng rolled his eyes, we are thick-skinned, we don't take it seriously at all.
With a light cough, Meng Jiucheng stopped the scene and sang: "The Yangtze River is passing away, and the waves are sweeping away the heroes." Success or failure turns empty, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times. On the white-haired fisherman river, accustomed to watching the autumn moon and spring breeze. A pot of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”
In later generations, the theme song of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" can be said to be familiar, although many people do not know that this is written by Yang Shen, a master of Ming Dynasty poetry, and think that it was written by Luo Guanzhong. But Meng Jiucheng knew, no matter why he knew, he just knew.
The room was silent.
Haven't you heard of it, are you stupid!? Meng Jiucheng felt that he could, although his voice was not strong enough, but these turtles must have listened stupidly. He tried to suppress his smugness, arched his hands in all directions, and sat down peacefully.
At this moment, the crisp and delicate female voice sounded like a yellow warbler out of the valley, accompanied by the authentic Linjiang fairy tune, Tang cherished the piano and sang, "Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water, Waves Sweeping Away Heroes...... How many things in ancient and modern times are laughing and talking. ”
Awesome, my sister, still my sister. After listening to it only once, you can repeat it word for word, and you won't forget the magic skills?
Unlike Meng Jiucheng, who finished singing, Tang Xixi's singing voice fell, and shouts of applause erupted. Meng Jiucheng couldn't help applauding, but because of her intelligence.
"Well, that's the end of the exam." Chen Hong gradually sighed and arched his hand to Meng Jiucheng, "Brother Meng is good at learning, and he is convinced." ”
Well, if you don't accept it, it seems that you are really convinced. Meng Jiucheng hurriedly returned the salute, "Admit it, admit it." ”
