Chapter 195: Boat Niang's Mountain Song
I accidentally encountered a large pothole, and the car shook a little. Yu Feng let out a soft cry and fell towards Lu Jinping. Lu Jinping naturally supported her, Yufeng seemed to have crispy muscles and bones, snuggled in his arms, and for a while, he struggled to sit up, brushed the messy hair on his forehead, and said with a flushed face: "Yes, I'm sorry, this road is too bumpy......"
Lu Jinping's warm fragrance of nephrite just now still lingered on his fingertips. I didn't dare to reminisce, so I casually asked, "What are you doing these days?" ”
"Well, I didn't do anything, I just wrote and played the piano."
"By the way, your piano skills are really good."
"Thank you for your praise, and later, I'll play a song for the lord."
Lu Jinping stroked his palms and smiled: "Okay, it would be more interesting to listen to your piano sound on the river." ”
As he spoke, the carriage went out of the city to the dock outside the city.
Sure enough, there was a painting boat parked on the dock, which was different from the painting boat that Lu Jinping was robbed by Lu Niang before, that one was a big boat, and this one was a small boat, with a pergola set up in the entire cabin, two rows of seats on both sides, and the entire cabin was transparent and bright, with an unobstructed view.
The bow is flat. There was already a yaoqin on the deck, and an incense burner was inserted.
Ye Qingqing boarded the boat first, and quickly searched the entire boat, there were no problems, and there was no one else, except for the boatman who was holding the boat. The boatman doesn't know martial arts when he looks at his body, so Ye Qingqing can rest assured. She has already made up her mind, this time, no matter what the reason, she will definitely not leave Lu Jinping for half a step.
Lu Jinping helped Yufeng to step on the pedal and got on the painting boat, and Su Sanmei followed.
Yufeng ordered the anchor to be raised. The boat slowly wandered towards the middle of the river, and the wind was gentle, blowing exceptionally cool in this hot summer. Although the sun is scorching, there is a pergola overhead to cover the sun, and you can't feel the heat of the sun.
Lu Jinping sat cross-legged on the soft couch. Ye Qingqing stood beside him. Su Sanmei and the maid brought by Yufeng were responsible for placing food and tea.
After packing up and standing, Yufeng personally burned a furnace of incense, sat down in front of Yaoqin, smiled at Lu Jinping, and slowly twisted his fingers and played.
Lu Jinping actually doesn't understand Yaoqin, but he likes the music of Yaoqin very much. It can make people very quiet, as if you have returned to the wonderful scenery of the mountains and rivers in ancient times.
At this moment, a dark cloud drifted over, and a light rain began to fall in the sky. At this moment, most of the sky is still bright and full of sunshine, and this kind of sun and rain landscape is really breathtaking.
It is a real pleasure to hear such a beautiful sound in such a view.
After the song was played, Lu Jinping listened leisurely and applauded. He said: "The classical sound of the piano is really refreshing. The girl is hard. Eat and drink something first. Talk, rest, rest. ”
Yufeng sat down next to Lu Jinping, reached out and took a fruit, sharpened it with a knife, and handed it to Lu Jinping.
Lu Jinping took a bite and looked sideways at the river. On the wide river, there are many painting boats wandering among the rippling blue waves. Large and small boats, among which there are many fishing boats, fishermen are casting nets. There are also those who wear hats and fish quietly on the river. What a pastoral landscape painting.
At this moment, a mountain song floated leisurely from the river:
I miss my brother and I can't see tears.
Thinking of my brother and thinking of breaking the liver and sausage,
I can't think of my brother in pairs,
Tears under the bed turned into a fishpond.
As soon as he heard this song, Lu Jinping opened his mouth to bite a mouthful of fruit, and he didn't swallow or spit out, his eyes looked straight at the river. Seems to be thinking about something.
Then, the distant woman's singing slowly drifted over again:
It's pitiful,
melon and bitter gourd common field,
The melon sweet man stole it,
Bitter gourd old to guard the empty field.
Lu Jinping thought he had misheard. And this time I heard it really, my chest was like a hammer, I stood up suddenly, walked to the side of the boat, held the railing and looked at the river, only to see the large and small boats on the river, but I didn't know that the song came from that boat, but the singing voice was pleasant, and Lu Jinping would definitely not forget it. It turned out that this was the Lu Niang who had kissed him in the water in this river.
In the distance, the beautiful singing voice followed:
Thinking of my brother,
Nine out of ten liver sausages were broken.
There is still one adoptive sister left,
Brother wants to be willing to share.
Lu Jinping screamed, rushed out of the cabin, and stood at the bow of the ship to look, but there was no familiar figure in the boat, and the singing no longer came.
Lu Jinping was disappointed, standing at the bow of the boat but unwilling to go in.
Ye Qingqing was very nervous, following him, she seemed to hear this voice was the noble lady that day. So I was afraid that a person would suddenly burst out of the river and pull the lord into the water, and I would really be derelict in my duty to get home.
Everything was calm. Lu Jinping rolled his eyes, turned back to Su Sanmei and said, "Do you know how to sing mountain songs?" ”
Su Sanmei blushed a little and said, "Sing mountain songs, of course our people in the mountains will do it." ”
"Okay, then you sing, I'll tell you what to sing."
Su Sanmei nodded and stood beside Lu Jinping and looked at him. Lu Jinping thought about it and whispered again. Su Sanmei didn't remember it for a while, Lu Jinping repeated it twice, she remembered, cleared her throat, and the melodious singing sounded:
Yangliu Qingqing River level,
Hearing the singing of Sister Jiangshang,
The sun rises in the east and rains in the west,
The Tao is ruthless but affectionate.
This poem is the famous "Bamboo Branch Words" by Liu Yuxi, a poet of the middle and late Tang Dynasty, which appeared seventy or eighty years later. But it just conveys the mood at this moment. Lu Jinping couldn't tell what kind of feelings he had for Lu Niang, but he felt that after such a long time, he had gradually forgotten it, but he didn't expect to be awakened by this unexpected song The past half a year ago, and he couldn't help but let Su Sanmei sing this poem when he was excited.
This is a quatrain that has been passed down through the ages, and it is not comparable to those slang songs that seem simple, and it happens that at this time the drizzle is falling and the sun is shining. This kind of sun and rain singing this poem is very pertinent. Especially the last sentence, the sunrise in the east and the rain in the west, the Tao is ruthless but affectionate, it really plucked such a scenery and the tender string in the deepest hearts of literati and artists, and for a time attracted many literati and artists on the river to stop and watch, and praise each other.
Listening to this song, it was sung by a pretty village girl, and there was a handsome boy standing next to her, who was far away but didn't know who it was. Many literati and artists wanted to come over to make friends, but a small boat rushed to Lu Jinping's painting boat like an arrow.
The boat lady pressed the cloak on her head very low, half of her face was covered, and she wore a very wide coarse cloth shirt, but she couldn't hide her hot body. Just looking at this figure, Lu Jinping couldn't help but jump in his heart, is Lu Niang here?
The thought came to his head, and the boat lady had already taken off the hat from her head, and she stood at the stern of the boat, looking at him with a smile. It's none other than Lu Niang, who has had a skin-to-skin relationship with her.
"Is it really you? Madame, you, are you alright? ”
Lu Niang smiled, blocked the hat in her hand on her chest, and gently fanned it twice, and the breeze blew her hair: "Your mountain song is not only a mountain song, but also a wonderful poem." If I don't come out to see you, I'm afraid that someone else will snatch me away. ――You're not going to let me talk to you across the boat, are you? Do you dare to come to my boat? ”
"Why don't you dare?" Lu Jinping said with a smile.
Lu Niang had already said that he would not come to arrest him again, and even if Lu Niang was entrusted to arrest him, he really wanted to follow this vine to find out who the person who arrested him was. Now that I have met Lu Niang, this clue has been renewed, and I hope I can gain something. Therefore, he did not hesitate to agree to the ship's owner to get off the ship quickly.
Ye Qingqing hurriedly stopped and said, "Sir, no!" ”
Lu Jinping patted her on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I really want to meet her, this is a rare opportunity, you should know." ”
Ye Qingqing remembered that Lu Jinping had said before that he deliberately let Lu Niang take him away, that is, to track down the person who entrusted Lu Niang behind, in order to catch the real culprit behind the scenes, this risk is still worth taking. Ye Qingqing had no choice but to slowly let go of his hand.
The boatman took the boat board and put it between the boat and the boat. Ye Qingqing wanted to support Lu Jinping, but Lu Niang jumped lightly on the pedal and reached out to pull Lu Jinping.
Of course, Lu Jinping would not flinch, reached out and grabbed her slender hand, and under her traction, walked over the flickering pedal and got on Lu Niang's boat.
At this time, several painting boats came from a distance, and several literati and artists stood at the bow of the boat to say hello. Seeing that Lu Jinping had already gotten on a boat with only one boat lady, he was a little stunned. I wonder what it means for this talented boy to be alone with a boatlady who holds a boat? Of course, they don't know the true identity of this boat lady.
Lu Niang's penny in her hand gently supported the edge of the painting boat, and the boat sailed forward like a sharp sword. The boat did not turn around, did not keep up with the boat, and in a moment it was left far behind by the boat.
Of course, Ye Qingqing and their boat also chased after them like crazy, but they didn't get closer, because after getting rid of those literati and artists who wanted to come up and talk to Lu Jinping, Lu Niang no longer held the boat and let the boat float on the river. So Ye Qingqing and their painting boat quickly caught up with Lu Jinping and their boat, but of course, they knew that they had to speak, so they could only follow from a distance and not get close.
Lu Niang put down the boat, sat cross-legged on the bow of the boat, looked at the landing Jinping, and her eyes did not blink. Lu Jinping was a little embarrassed: "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”
"I've been dreaming of you all this time, and I've finally seen it, of course, I have to take a closer look."
Lu Niang said it generously, Lu Jinping was a little embarrassed, thinking that this woman was really open enough. The Tang Dynasty was the most emancipated era of women's minds in feudal society, and this liberation was especially prominent in Lu Niang, who dared to say and do, dared to express, and did not lose to modern women!
