On the contrary, Li Yu did not cry, it was his own choice to choose this path, he would rather go to the wild land in Lingnan to open up wasteland and farm, rather than be frightened all day long in the prosperous place of the capital. So he didn't cry, but watching them cry was still very uncomfortable. I couldn't help but have red circles under my eyes. Choked up and said to Qingnu: "Don't be sad, I am actually very happy to go to Lingnan, it is better than being frightened and scared here, and washing my face with tears." ”

Qingnu was even more sad and cried so much that he couldn't cry.

Li Yu leaned over and was afraid that Qingnu would help him up, and said: "You can come to see me, and it can be regarded as our master and servant, be happy, don't cry when you leave." Then he said to the concubines: "Lord Wang, they are still here, don't cry." ”

So, Qingnu and the concubines collected their tears. Follow Li Yu and sit down in the big tent. Zhao Tingmei ordered the soldiers in charge of escorting the other wine and food to be carried to the boat to hide from the rain and drink.

In the big account, after everyone sat down, Zhao Tingmei picked up the wine glass and said: "Today, Chongguang will have to travel far away, and I don't know how to meet each other, so let's say today that we must conspire to get drunk!" "Anyway, raise your glass and drink.

One by one, they all drank.

After several glasses of wine in a row, because I didn't eat vegetables, I quickly got on my face.

Zhao Tingmei came to Li Yu with a glass of wine and said, "Brother Chongguang, the foolish brother is incompetent, I can't help you, I'm really ashamed." When I went to Lingnan, the people who accompanied me were all henchmen selected by the foolish brother, and they would not wronged the brother along the way. The officials in the Lingnan penal colony also have old friends with me. I have already sent a book to take care of it. Brother can also rest assured that there will be no loss over there. ”

Li Yu's handcuffs rattled, and he said with a glass of wine: "Thank you, brother!" Foolish brother is grateful! ”

The two drank three glasses in a row.

Leng Yi and his wife also stepped forward to toast, and also drank three glasses with Li Yu. Then there was Qingnu. Qingnu is not good at drinking, but he also drank three glasses with Li Yu despite being strong. After three cups, he ran out of the big account and vomited. This time, the atmosphere in the field was enlivened up a little, and everyone was no longer so sad.

When Xiao Zhouhou came over to toast, Li Yu had already drunk nine cups, and his eyes were hazy, but he drank three glasses in a row with Xiao Zhouhou.

Xiao Zhou is not good at drinking, and three cups of belly are also peachy.

Li Yu said: "Don't be sad for me, although Lingnan is bitter, my heart is sweet." So, bless me and don't shed tears for me. Let's sing goodbye! With that, the drunken took a glass of wine and began to stagger and sing in the big tent.

When he sang, Zhao Tingmei and others also felt justified, parting was inevitable, instead of being sad, it was better to sing, and they also sang.

In the noise, Li Yu pulled Xiao Zhou Hou and asked her to sing and dance in the audience.

This is the first time Leng Yi has seen Xiao Zhouhou's dance, although he did not prepare an instrument musician in advance, he just danced with everyone's singing, and the graceful dance posture still made Leng Yi's eyes straighten.

At this time, it was still raining outside, and the tent was crackling, and inside the tent, everyone was drinking and singing, singing and drinking, and drinking crumblingly. The sound of the rain seemed to be the beat of their singing and dancing.

Zhao Tingmei looked at Leng Yi with drunken eyes and said, "You! Why not sing? ”

Leng Yi doesn't know the songs of the Song Dynasty, and he can't sing them if he wants to. However, he was drinking while watching, and after every song was sung, he had to step forward to drink with Li Yu, let Li Yu feel free, and he himself drank it all. So I didn't drink less. At this time, I was already a little drunk.

Hearing Zhao Tingmei say that he didn't sing, Leng Yi smiled bitterly: "I don't have all five notes, I'm afraid that singing will scare you." Still don't sing it, right? ”

Li Yu had already drunk a lot, came over with a cup, and said: "Today is to say goodbye to me, but as long as you sing it, don't talk about the singing voice, if you want to talk about the singing, I'm afraid that no one can compare with my beloved wife." Is it possible to let her finish singing alone? Come on, come on, sing a song, and leave it for me to come to Lingnan and say that it is lonely as an aftertaste. ”

Leng Yi said: "Since I said so, then I will sing a song, but my song is a mountain slang song, it is difficult to get into the elegant hall, and the five tones are incomplete, and if you don't sing well, you can't laugh at it." ”

Xiao Zhouhou was also drunk and said with a smile: "Lord Leng, you sing, I'll help you." ”

Li Yu said: "The lady's words are wrong! You and Mrs. Leng are called sisters, how can you call Lord Leng an adult? ”

Xiao Zhouhou's eyes were like silk, and she smiled and said: "That's what I said, how should I call the concubine?" ”

"If Lord Leng doesn't mind, how about you call each other brother and sister?"

Zhao Tingmei smiled: "This is very good, - Brother Leng Xian, what do you think?" ”

"Of course it's good, it's of course my greatest luck to have such a beautiful sister who is the most beautiful in the world."

This compliments on the beauty of the other party are very common in modern society, and even a kind of politeness. But in ancient times, there was no such habit, either in front of frivolity or in front of ulterior motives. Therefore, when Xiao Zhouhou heard this, his pretty face immediately turned crimson, and he lowered his head shyly. Everyone in the audience turned their heads in embarrassment, deliberately pretending not to hear.

Li Yu has always been worried that his wife will stay in the capital and no one will take care of her, so she wants to please Leng Yi as much as possible and let him take care of her, as soon as she heard this, she thought that Leng Yi was interested in her wife, and Leng Yi would definitely take care of her wife in the future. Madame, if you sing a song with your brother, it will be counted as a farewell to me! ”

Xiao Zhouhou nodded slightly and looked at Leng Yi: "Brother, what song should we sing to say goodbye to my little brother-in-law?" ”

Leng Yi doesn't know the songs of this era, and there is no way to sing with Xiao Zhouhou. He said, "You can just sing a song for me." ”

Li Yu said: "That's not good! It's okay for your brothers and sisters to sing together. How did she become a soloist? ”

Xiao Zhouhou saw Leng Yi's embarrassed appearance, he didn't know that the people Leng Yi crossed over didn't know the songs of this era, and thought that he was unwilling to sing with himself in front of Li Yu, and he sang to Li Yu, so it was a little embarrassing. The husband was drunk and only thought about how to make a good living for him in the future, but he neglected one of them. Then he smiled and said: "Husband, my brother said just now, we haven't heard his songs, so the concubine may not be able to sing together, so let's listen to my brother sing first?" ”

Zhao Tingmei also slapped his hands and smiled: "Exactly!" I have never heard Brother Leng Xian's songs, saying that they are mountain and wild tunes, which are often fresh and pleasant, refreshing, and sing them, sweeping away the filth of us. Hey hey"

Li Yu heard Zhao Tingmei say this, so he had no choice but to agree, and said to Leng Yi: "I'll listen to it!" ”

Everyone in the audience fell silent, and they all looked up at him.

Leng Yi no longer shirked, coughed lightly, and sang:

Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green.

The evening breeze helps the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain.

The end of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered.

A pot of turbid wine is full of joy, don't dream cold tonight.

Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green.

Ask you when you will come, and don't linger when you come.

The cliff of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered.

Life is rare for reunions, but there are many separations.

Outside the long pavilion, by the ancient road, the grass is green.

The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountain.

The cliff of the sky, the corner of the earth, the acquaintance is half scattered.

A scoop of turbid wine is all over the place, don't dream cold tonight.

Leng Yi sang the famous song "Farewell" by the versatile monk Hongyi Master (commonly known as Li Shutong) during the Republic of China, which is a famous song popular in modern society, the lyrics depict the long pavilion, the ancient road, the sunset, and the flute, revealing the desolation and loneliness at the time of parting, and setting off the reluctance to give up the feelings of the friends who are about to leave, which is described very sincerely and touching, coupled with the sad and poignant tune, so that everyone present was stunned. Until he finished singing for a long time, he was still silent.

Leng Yi smiled and said, "It's ugly!" ”

Then the crowd cheered and admired. Li Yu stood up, held a jar of wine, poured a big bowl with a bang, picked it up, and staggered to Leng Yi. When his wife and concubine were sad and wept before, he didn't cry, but at this moment, he was already in tears, and choked up: "Lord Leng! - No, Brother Leng Xian! In your lyrics, you are commensurate with acquaintances, and since you regard me as a confidant, you should be called a brother, please allow me to call you a good brother! ”

Leng Yi nodded and arched his hand: "Brother Li! ”

Li Yu said: "The tune of this song is not like a mountain slang song, the lyrics are elegant, and it is not a mountain song colloquialism. If Brother Fool expects it to be good, it should be Brother Xian's own lyrics, right? ”

Zhao Tingmei also came over and said: "That's right, I also feel this way, such lyrics and songs are definitely not mountain and wild tunes." Only Brother Leng Xian's poetry can write such affectionate and meaningful words that contain Zen machines. ”

Leng Yi couldn't tell the difference, just smiled.

Li Yu choked up and said: "Thank you Brother Xian for giving me such a moving parting song, which will accompany me ...... in the years to come, come, I respect Brother Xian!" ”

With that, he took a breath and drank a large bowl of wine.

Leng Yi also drank a big bowl with him.

Li Yu said: "Brother Xian, this song and song Brother Fool wants to write it down, I was stunned just now, I'm afraid I didn't remember it all, I want to ask Brother Xian to write it down, how about it?" ”

Leng Yi didn't know how to write song scores, and he didn't understand the ancient song scores, so he looked at Xiao Zhouhou and said, "That's it, didn't you let me sing with my sister just now?" - By the way, what is my sister's name, ......? ”

Li Yu hurriedly said: "Humble Jing's surname is Zhou, her maiden name is Jiamin, and her name is Nuying." ”

"Oh, just let Nuying help me write the score, I'll write the lyrics, it counts as our cooperation, and I give it to my brother as a parting gift, how about it?"

"Fabulous! Bring pen and paper! ”

Zhao Tingmei's servants hurriedly took pen and paper, vacated a table, and Leng Yi wrote the lyrics first, and then Xiao Zhou wrote the song score. Xiao Zhouhou is proficient in music, although he has only listened to it once, he has memorized it all, not to mention that this song is divided into three sections and sung three times, so he wrote down the humming and checked it for Leng Yi, and it was not bad at all.

Li Yu is erudite and talented, and he is also proficient in music, picked it up, hummed it by himself, it was completely correct, and carefully folded it into his arms, and at this moment, the official of the yamen who was in charge of escorting quietly came in and whispered a few words to Zhao Tingmei. Zhao Tingmei frowned, and said horizontally: "What are you afraid of if you delay?" ”

Li Yu's ears were sharp, and when he heard it, he hurriedly said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing! Drink! Keep drinking! ”

Li Yu's concubine Yu Liuzhu was next to him, and he had already heard what they said, and said to Li Yu in a sad voice: "The escorted lord said that it will be dark soon, and according to the rules, you must leave the capital dock before dark before you can set off." Urging us to get on board. ”

But it turned out that before I knew it, it was already dusk.

Li Yu staggered to the tent entrance, and looked at the still slanting wind and drizzle outside, and sure enough, the sky was already dark and it was almost dark. Busy said to Zhao Tingmei: "There is no banquet in the world, let's say goodbye!" I'm also drunk, and I'm going to pour it if I drink it again. ”

Zhao Tingmei sighed and said, "That's it!" ”

Li Yu put down his wine glass and glanced at everyone. There was a sudden silence in the tent. He slowly walked in front of Xiao Zhouhou. Xiao Zhouhou raised his eyes to look at him, looked at each other with his hands, his eyes were already full of tears, and he choked up: "Husband, ......"

Li Yu took her arm, pulled her, walked to Leng Yi, and said to Leng Yi: "Brother Xian, Wenying will entrust it to you, although you and I have been dating for a short time, but since you wrote "Poppy Beauty", my husband and wife still regard you as a confidant. Now, I want to go away, but I am afraid that I will not be able to see it in this life and this life. I'll entrust her to you, and I'll be relieved......"

Speaking of the back, the words were choked, and they couldn't be continued.

Leng Yi said: "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to take care of Wen Ying." ”

"Thank you......!" Li Yu said sadly.

Xiao Zhouhou had already cried into tears, and looked at Li Yu: "Husband, when you are leaving, can you write a poem for your concubine and make a thought?" ”

Li Yu looked at Leng Yi with teary eyes: "Brother Xian, my heart is in turmoil, you are my brother and Wenying's brother, please write a poem for me and give it to Wenying, how about it?" ”

"This ......," Leng Yi hesitated.

Zhao Tingmei on the side knows that Li Yu is quick to think, and this kind of sad parting moment is often more able to use the context to lyrically write masterpieces. But Li Yu found an excuse to let Leng Yi fill in the words for his wife, obviously he knew that he was going to Lingnan, but he was afraid that it would be goodbye, and he was worried about his wife in his heart, and wanted to use this method to make Xiao Zhouhou treat Leng Yi as him and stop thinking about him.

After understanding Li Yu's intentions, Zhao Tingmei sighed very much, stepped over, and said to Leng Yi: "Brother Xian, since you have this wish to come to Goodbye, you can promise him, don't let him stay and worry." ”

After listening to Zhao Tingmei's words, Leng Yi and Xiao Zhouhou immediately understood Li Yu's good intentions. Xiao Zhou was even more heartbroken, and turned to look at Leng Yi.

Leng Yi nodded slowly and walked to the table. Li Yu went over and helped him study ink.

At this moment, the sound of rain outside the tent has gradually become smaller, Leng Yi muttered for a long time, and then he picked up the pen and completed it overnight. After writing, he held it to Li Yu with both hands. Li Yu took it, blinked his drunken eyes, which were already full of tears, and slowly whimpered and said:
