Chapter 47: Melody and Wang Ximeng
"The two Langjun are boring just drinking, why don't you sing a little song to help you two."
The wine and food had been arranged, Chu Feng and Xiao Ting had a moment of gossiping, and a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl with a mediocre appearance walked up with a pipa in her arms.
There was a faint shyness in the girl's expression, especially after seeing Xiao Ting's luxurious brocade clothes, this shyness gradually turned into cringe, lowered her head and bit her lip.
Xiao Ting glanced at the girl and frowned slightly.
There are often such singing girls in restaurants and restaurants, but according to the different levels of the restaurant, the appearance and singing of these singing girls are naturally different from each other.
Seeing this girl's unsightly face, Xiao Ting felt a little bored. Coupled with the washed cloth on her body, Xiao Ting felt more and more disgusted, and was ready to open her mouth to ask her to retreat.
"What will you sing?"
But at this time, Chu Feng asked with a smile.
Xiao Ting was a little puzzled, glanced up at Chu Feng, and saw the latter's slightly bright eyes looking at the singing girl, and his heart was immediately relieved.
Probably because there is no such custom in Hangzhou City, Chu Feng rarely sees such a singing situation, so he is curious.
So Xiao Ting also smiled slightly, took out a few scattered copper coins from his waist, put them on the table casually, and ordered: "Pick the best hand and sing." ”
The girl responded timidly and a little excitedly. She hurriedly dragged a long stool from the side, and even at this time, she was protecting the pipa in her arms like a baby, so the whole movement was very difficult.
Seeing this, Chu Feng got up to help.
The girl was startled, and even said "no", but as soon as she spoke, the stool had already been set up not far from Chu Feng's table.
Xiao Ting looked at Chu Feng helplessly. The girl's chin was about to reach her chest. His face was red and dripping blood.
"It's okay, sing it." Chu Feng smiled and comforted.
The girl didn't dare to look up again, so she hurriedly sat down on the stool, changed her fingers, and came to a prelude in a little panic.
Xiao Ting has been in this kind of place for a long time, and he can be regarded as half an expert. Listening to her plucking the strings, I immediately heard her amateurishness, so I smiled and shook my head.
"If Brother Chu likes to listen to music, next time we go to Qingliu Building, everyone's pipa can be said to be the best in the capital." Xiao Ting said with a smile.
Chu Feng said: "Actually, I don't understand this, and I can't hear anything good or bad at all, but I just think it's interesting to listen to it occasionally." ”
"There is a tea flat in Wumi Alley, and the erhu there is also a must. It's a pity that it's an old man who plays and sings, not a young girl. There's always a little less flavor. Ha ha! Xiao Tingdao.
"Brother Xiao is really a middle and high master, and he seems to be quite good at this."
"I don't dare to be, it's just that there are more people messing around......"
The girl's lute-beating voice gradually became quieter, and she reorganized her sitting posture, secretly cleared her throat, and spoke tactfully.
"Leaning on the willow inscription, when the flower side hat, the appreciation should be better than driving. Wrong teaching the temples to suffer from the east wind. Look at the green shadow into silk early ......"
As soon as she opened her mouth, Xiao Ting and Chu Feng were stunned for a moment.
Xiao Ting was almost electrocuted. stared at the girl with wide eyes, and couldn't imagine that such a mediocre and boring character could have such a natural voice.
And Chu Feng's stunned was because of the lyrics she sang......
This is the "Tasha Xing" he wrote in front of Fan Lou and Huizong that day. At that time, I forgot about the second half. It was only made up yesterday and handed over to Ma Gonggong. Why does this girl sing?
Chu Feng was full of puzzlement, but he listened to the girl continue to sing: "Golden Palace jackdaw, jade step spring grass." On the cold and warm and who is the way. Xiaolou Mingyue is idle, and everything in life is old. ”
A complete poem, a song "Tasha Xing" that Chu Feng just got in this world yesterday, was simply sung in a small wine shop. What the hell is going on?
When the girl sings, she doesn't look up at people, she only lowers her gaze slightly, and her fingers pluck the strings, bit by bit, but gracefully.
After singing the song, the girl gradually came back to her senses from the afterglow of the song, and the trace of calmness disappeared immediately, leaving only a slow shyness and fear, and secretly glanced at the copper coin on the table, but she didn't dare to reach out to take it.
"Who did you learn to sing?"
"Where did you hear this poem?"
Chu Feng and Xiao Ting spoke at the same time, but they asked different questions.
The girl listened to the sudden question, and shrank back in real fear, and hugged the pipa tightly.
Chu Feng and Xiao Ting glanced at each other, and couldn't help but think carefully about each other's questions again, and became curious about the answers to each other's questions, so they looked at the girl again.
The girl was even more flustered, and at this time she stood up almost to the point of electricity, bit her lip and raised her eyes, and when she saw the eyes of the other two, she was so frightened that she actually lifted her skirt, and even didn't want copper coins, and was ready to run away.
"Don't be afraid of ...... girl"
"Don't be afraid of ...... girl"
The two of them spoke at the same time.
Xiao Ting hurriedly got up and chased two steps, and said softly: "Girl, we are just amazed by your singing skills, there is no other meaning, you don't have to be afraid." ”
"Xiaoqing, what's wrong?"
The shopkeeper just came out of the back kitchen with a plate of cold cuts, and saw the girl holding the pipa with a frightened appearance, and thought that she was taken advantage of by someone, and there was anger on her face immediately.
As if she had seen a savior, the girl hid behind the shopkeeper like a butterfly, not daring to look at anyone again.
"It turns out that her name is Xiaoqing," Xiao Ting stepped forward and bowed slightly to the shopkeeper, "I'm really sorry, we seemed to scare her just now." But rest assured, we don't mean anything other than to marvel at her singing. ”
"Ah, Xiao Langjun!"
The shopkeeper had long known Xiao Ting's character, and knew that although he was the son of a family, he was definitely not the kind of person who would flirt with women from good families, so he naturally understood the reason and origin of the matter, and sighed.
"Xiaoqing, don't do this." The shopkeeper turned sideways, exposing the girl behind him, and accused, "I know these things are not easy for you. But you also have to learn little by little, don't be too afraid. Xiao Langjun is a good person, how can you be so rude? Don't apologize to Xiao Langjun soon! ”
"No, no. I'm afraid I really scared her. Xiao Ting looked at the girl's slightly trembling appearance, and couldn't help but feel a little self-blame in his heart, and didn't dare to say more to her. only asked the shopkeeper, "Are you familiar with her?" ”
"Hey-" The shopkeeper glanced at Xiao Qing helplessly, sighed, and first brought the cold-cut plate to Xiao Ting Chufeng's table, before he smiled bitterly and said, "The two Langjun are good people, otherwise she wouldn't know what she would encounter now." This is my uncle's child, before the Jiangnan flood, the family is gone. She was the only one who came to me. She doesn't know what to do, she says she can sing tunes...... I didn't want to, after all, it's a girl's family, how can I show my face outside? She insisted on trying it herself, so she borrowed a pipa from outside and tried to sing, but no, this kind of thing happened on the first day. Fortunately, I met two Lang Jun, otherwise if I offended the unforgiving guests. I don't know what's going to happen. ”
"The lute is borrowed?" Xiao Ting nodded, "I can't complain." The singing voice is first-class, and this pipa is really ...... Hey! ”
Xiaoqing listened from the sidelines, and lowered her head at this time.
"She is just figuring out by herself, what can she sing or not, she can sing a tune." The shopkeeper wiped the oil on his hands on the apron in front of him and sighed. "I didn't dare to let her go out to sing, just wander around this little shop, afraid that something would happen to her if she ran out by herself. Hey, after all, there is only such a lone seedling left...... But now it seems that she has such a temperament. I can't keep singing anymore. ”
A trace of panic flashed on Xiaoqing's face, she quickly raised her head and took two steps forward: "I can do it, I, I ......"
Xiao Ting looked at her face that was really not good-looking, and sighed slightly.
Chu Feng heard it on the side, and couldn't help but think in his heart, it turned out that Lang Jun, a son from a big family like Xiao Ting, was not completely unsympathetic to the suffering of the world.
took out a piece of broken silver from his arms, Xiao Ting casually put it in the shopkeeper's hand, and said lightly: "If she still wants to continue singing, she will use this money to buy a good pipa and practice it herself." If you don't sing it, just take it to ease your life, which can be regarded as a solution to your urgent need. ”
After that, for some reason, Xiao Ting always felt a little bored, and there was a faint sense of loneliness in his heart, so he asked Chu Feng with a light smile: "Brother Chu, is there anything else you want to ask?" I suddenly remembered that there were some trivial things to do at home, and I was afraid that I would have to go back now. I'm really sorry for the rush to end this time, and I will definitely make amends next time......"
Chu Feng smiled and said, "Occasionally push the cup and change the lamp, naturally you can't delay the business." ”
In the end, his heart was full of questions, Chu Feng couldn't help but ask: "That, little young girl, can I ask, who taught you the song "Tasha Xing" you sang before?" ”
Xiao Qing shrank and didn't dare to step forward, and glanced at the shopkeeper before answering.
"It's not taught, it's heard." Xiaoqing lowered her eyes again, and her voice was as low as a mosquito fly, "I heard it from the big restaurant over there, I, I, I learned to sing." ”
Chu Feng was even more puzzled when he heard this, and frowned: "Who did you learn from?" Did she say where the word came from? ”
Xiaoqing shook her head and replied truthfully: "My sisters are all singing, and many people are singing, so I have only listened to it a few more times." Now I'm—I'm just going to do that. ”
It's just that "Tasha Xing", which was completed by him yesterday, why did it spread all over Beijing just one day later?
It's a little weird.
"I don't know where my sisters heard that. I just heard them say that the person who filled in this word was called, well, it seems to be Chu Feng. The Chu of the Chu State, the wind of the wind and rain, the wind of Chu. Xiaoqing added.
Xiao Ting listened from the sidelines and was stunned for a moment.
……
……
"The sentence 'When the flower side hat', the tuning of the palace tune is too orthodox, and it is also an allusion to Dugu Xin, which is more elegant and uninhibited. Well, use Feather to debug it instead. ”
Huizong only wore a casual single dress, which was still stuffy, so he unbuttoned his neckline twice, and frowned: "What are you doing with the window in the northwest corner?" If you don't turn on the blowout, do you want to make decorations? ”
Seeing that Huizong was faintly angry, the servants dared to speak out, and they didn't dare to come out, so someone hurriedly trotted to open the window.
After taking a bite of watermelon, the iced juice slipped from his throat to his stomach, and a chill ran through the entire esophagus, and the sultry breath in Huizong's chest could be regarded as dissipating a little.
changed the feather tune of the sentence "danghua side hat", which was sung by the female officials in the court at this time, which is really good.
"Official, you are really a saint. Such a change does seem to be a lot more careless. ”
Wang Hao said with a smile on the side. He was the one who walked into Fan's calligraphy and painting with Huizong on that day.
Huizong smiled lazily, holding a wat board in his hand, and followed the rhythm of the tune.
The ritual utensils held by the ministers when they went to court were just a thing in Huizong's hands to play the rhythm.
"Jiang Ming, didn't I say it that day, I always felt that the name Chu Feng was a little familiar." Huizong smiled playfully, "Do you remember the painting we saw at Shishi?" It's still the one that the old horse retrieved from nowhere, so peculiar that he couldn't even distinguish the paint for a while. The signature on it is Chu Feng. ”
Wang Hao was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Maybe it's just a coincidence." How could a seventeen-year-old boy really paint such a strange painting? ”
"Maybe, maybe not." Huizong was obviously not in a hurry to find out the facts, he just played with the wat board in his hand and lazily listened to the beauty's singing.
Ma Gonggong brought some snacks and sent them, said something with a smile, and saw that Huizong was not interested in chatting, and seemed to be a little drowsy, so he gave Wang Hao a look, and the two withdrew together.
"My Lord Wang, have you figured it out? What is the official's attitude towards that Chu Feng? Finding a place where no one was, Ma Gonggong listened to the light and leisurely music in the palace, and said with a smile, "After Wang Ximeng's kid 'died' of illness, the official family has never 'observed' anyone like this anymore." What did the official family like about this Chu Feng, and even made a name for him and helped him find a step to enter the body, what the hell is this for! The old slave is stupid and can't figure it out for a while, so I have to ask your old man. ”
Wang Hao laughed when he heard this, and thought: You eunuch is also a bastard, turn around me, Wang Ximeng's kid 'died of illness', you also have a share, what kind of confusion are you here!
So he smiled and said, "I don't understand what Grandpa Ma said." You have been by the side of the official family all day long, what is on the mind of the official family, if you still don't know, what else can we know who can only see the holy face in the cold! ”
Ma Gonggong narrowed his eyes and laughed. (To be continued.) )
