Chapter 233: Righteous Action
Qin Huai Bayan's fame in later generations was so great that Pang Gang was shocked when Chen Yuanyuan and Liu Ru appeared.
On October 22 of the ninth year of Chongzhen, Pang Gang met two of Qin Huai Bayan for the first time in the mansion of Wu Yadong, the governor of Zhejiang.
The two famous concubines of Qin Huai fought like this on the stage, and they didn't need to do anything else, so they attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, one of them was wearing a white shirt, the other was wearing a yellow shirt, and there were no other accessories on their bodies, so they seemed to have taken away all the brilliance of the world and the eyes of men.
It was Liu Ru who wore a yellow shirt, and Chen Yuanyuan who wore a white shirt, only to hear Liu Ru say prettyly: "Today, the little woman is fortunate to be invited by Lord Wu to celebrate his birthday, and it is a blessing to be accompanied by a good sister, and I am even more happy in my heart. ”
After speaking, Liu Ru took the pipa handed over by a maid beside her, plucked the strings lightly, and when she heard a clear sound, she lightly opened her lips and sang: "The horizontal bridge of the Qingyin Pond Pavilion will make it rain." The slight cold is not delicate, and the soul is lost at this time. ”
When singing here, the music gradually became elegant, just when people were immersed in the lyrical music, they finally saw that Chen Yuanyuan, who was originally self-pitying, moved, his sleeves were light, and his delicate body was turning, like an elf dancing among the flowers brought people into the best situation.
I only heard Liu Ru let go of her singing voice and sang: "Outside the Qingmen Embankment in the past, the powder incense is chaotic. The jade face is lonely and pale red, and there is no tonight. ”
Accompanied by the singing, Chen Yuanyuan's body fluttering in Taiwan, gradually jumping like the wind, dazzling.
The music is getting faster and faster, and Chen Yuanyuan's dance is getting faster and faster! The music was sonorous, and her dancing became more and more rapid, until the music slowed down, and her dancing softened. When the singing stopped, Chen Yuanyuan also turned his back to the audience and stopped, just when everyone was still looking at her reluctantly, immersed in the beautiful artistic conception just now. But seeing Chen Yuanyuan turn his head and look back and smile, everyone felt that it was really a beautiful woman who smiled and smiled, and suddenly felt that the people in the hall were collectively demented for a moment, and after a while, they applauded desperately, and the warm applause almost toppled the roof of the hall.
Looking at Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan, who bent down to thank everyone on the stage, Li Xuezhu, who was sitting next to Pang Gang, woke up from the shock, grabbed Pang Gang's hand and said: "Master, the two sisters on the stage sang so well, and the dance was too good, I have never seen such a beautiful dance and heard such a beautiful tune." ”
Pang Gang smiled slightly, and said in his heart that it was not just you, even if you were a father-in-law, I had hundreds of years of knowledge more than you, and it was the first time I saw it.
Just when Pang Gang thought that the two of them were about to retreat after the performance, he saw a young official wearing a square scarf and a cyan official uniform standing up and arching his hand towards the second girl on the stage and asked: "Dare to ask Miss Liu, who made the song you sang just now, Zhao has never heard of it, I am really ashamed." ”
Liu Ru pursed his lips and smiled, "It turned out to be Lord Zhao, I didn't dare to ask Lord Lao Zhao, the lyrics and songs were written by the little girl's friend Chen Zilong, and the name was 'Painting Tang Chun'." ”
"Chen Zilong? Who is this, so literate and so ignorant of us? Xi Lianglin, who was at the same table as Pang Gang, also asked Liu Ruis curiously.
Liu Ru said with a smile: "Chen Gongzi is a person from Songjiang Huating, and he just happened to be promoted this year, and it is common sense that adults don't know Chen Gongzi." ”
"Oh, I see, but I also hear from this poem that this man does have some talent." When Xi Lianglin heard that he was just a lifter, he didn't take it to heart, and just commented in an old-fashioned manner. After all, the status of the two is too far apart, they are like later generations, one is a provincial and ministerial-level senior official, and the other is just a student who has just entered college, and the two are very different in terms of power and social status.
However, Pang Gang, who was closer to Liu Rusi, saw that although Liu Ru was smiling, a trace of disdain flashed in her big black and white eyes.
Pang Gang laughed secretly in his heart, he had heard of this Chen Zilong, and in later generations, he was praised as "the first lyricist of the Ming Dynasty" by many famous critics, and his reputation was louder than Xi Lianglin, I don't know how many times.
Pang Gang also saw that Liu Ru was not in the mood to accompany these officials here at this time, and saw that she was about to retreat after saying a blessing to everyone, but a young man stood up again, he was wearing a cyan robe, wearing a fluttering scarf, handsome appearance, and a standard handsome man, but there was a pride on his face, but he couldn't hide it.
I saw him say aloud: "Miss Liu, in the lower Hangzhou Mansion Xie Yuan Dou Yangshuang, I heard that Miss Liu is talented, today I see that it is indeed worthy of the name, today it is the birthday of Lord Wu, the girl has arrived here, why not leave a poem as a souvenir, it is also a good story." ”
As soon as Dou Yangshuang's words came out, the hall suddenly echoed like clouds, and they all coaxed Liu Ru to write a poem on the spot, thinking that Governor Wu was congratulating him on his birthday.
Hearing this, Pang Gang suddenly became a little bored in his heart, these people don't do business all day long except for shaving and patting horses, there are all such officials in the Ming Dynasty, if they don't die, it is really unreasonable.
At this time, Liu Ru was already extremely disgusted in her heart, and she only heard her say coldly: "I'm really sorry, the little girl and the sister of the Chen family have just arrived in Hangzhou, and they are very tired from driving all the way, so they will go down first, please forgive Dou Gongzi." ”
It is said that a girl's family said this, and Dou Yangshuang should also let people go down with interest, but this Dou Yangshuang didn't seem to know, and even took a few steps forward to Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan and said loudly: "This is not good, Miss Liu and Miss Chen rarely come here, how can they leave the stage easily, isn't this disappointing to all adults?" After speaking, Dou Yangshuang's hot eyes quickly swept over Liu Rushi and Chen Yuanyuan.
Although Dou Yangshuang's eyes were hidden, how could she hide Liu Ruyi, who was not very old but had been through the dust for a long time, a flash of anger flashed on her face, and she was about to refuse again, when a loud voice sounded on the side.
"I said, what is that Dou Yangshuang, everyone has rejected you, but you still don't know how to stalk and fight, do you want to be ashamed."
Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, and it turned out to be the general Dingyuan from Qingzhou, who was sitting at the same table as Governor Wu, and spoke.
In other words, Pang Gang was not such a person who liked to stand out for others, but Liu Ruis and Chen Yuanyuan's fame in later generations was too big, and the end was equally miserable.
Dou Yangshuang looked back and found that it was Pang Gang who stopped him, and couldn't help sneering: "It turned out to be the commander from Qingzhou, but today it is Governor Chen's birthday, Dou just wants Miss Liu to write a poem, what, is General Pang unable to understand these poems and songs so that he is impatient?" Or do you want to stand up for Miss Liu and Miss Chen? ”
Dou Yangshuang said this, but it was clear that he didn't take Pang Gang in his eyes, and he was also sarcastic about Pang Gang, a martial artist who didn't know how to write and ink, and wanted to be a hero to save the United States.
Li Xuezhu on the side of "you" saw that this guy actually made sarcastic remarks about his master, and he was so angry that he was about to stand up and scold this scholar who didn't know the height of the sky, but was stopped by Pang Gang at the right time.
Pang Gang shook his head lightly at Li Xuezhu and motioned for her to sit down, before turning to Dou Yangshuang and shaking his head: "Your name is Dou Yangshuang, I heard that you are still a Duke of Xie Yuan?" ”
Dou Yangshuang raised his head and said proudly: "Pang Gangjun has won the award, Dou is not talented, he is lucky to understand Yuan this year, and he has no ability, but he has read a few more years than General Pang." A look of contempt and disdain leapt across his face as he spoke.
"Hehe" There was a chuckle in the hall.
"Tsk" Pang Gang ignored those laughter, but walked up to Dou Yangshuang and looked at him carefully, then shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity (read liao), it's a pity!" ”
Pang Gang continued: "Since you have learned about Yuan in the exam, presumably your article must be full of flowers, but Pang Mou's words and deeds are just a boastful and empty talk, I have seen a lot of young people like you." You can't govern the country in literature, you can't be in peace with the military, you can only talk about it, and you will only do those useless poems in peacetime, so I have another useless scholar in Daming, what a pity! ”
"Boom" Pang Gang's words offended almost all the readers in the hall.
"Rude puff! Bold Qiu Ba, really rude! People starred in scolding this arrogant martial artist, but Liu Ru and Chen Yuanyuan, who were in the center of the focus, looked at this righteous and helpful general curiously, Chen Yuanyuan's pretty eyebrows rolled on Pang Gang's face, and he peeked at Pang Gang a little shyly.
However, Liu Ruyes came to Nengshang, but in addition to a hint of curiosity, a trace of doubt and incomprehension flashed on her fair face.
Dou Yang Shuangtie said sarcastically with a blue face: "I can't imagine that General Pang is just a martial artist, does he also know the strategy of governing the country and securing the country?" ”
"Hmm!" When Pang Gang heard that Dou Yangshuang dared not to put himself in his eyes and repeatedly speak disrespectfully, he couldn't help but be angry in his heart, and his eyes shot towards Dou Yangshuang like electricity, but Dou Yangshuang met Pang Gang's eyes without fear. It seems that he is determined that Pang Gang can't do anything to him, today this hall is full of the most powerful people in Hangzhou, no matter how bold Pang Gang is, he will not dare to be unreasonable to him!
