Chapter Twenty-Six: The Spring Breeze
"Sanniang, do you know what is the most difficult to wash off?"
"I don't know."
"Blood."
……
Walking in the bright sunshine, as soon as you look up, you can see white clouds floating in the blue sky, there is no industrial pollution of the Tang Dynasty, the sunny day is so beautiful and pure, just like a girl who has not been desecrated.
Xue Chongxun was spotless, and not long after he went to the Zhai to steam it, he washed his whole body several times in a row, and changed into a brand new linen robe...... However, at this moment, he still felt a smell of blood on his body.
Sanniang next to her lowered her head and covered her eyebrows with her palms, she seemed to be very unaccustomed to too strong light. Xue Chongxun turned around and said, "If you are active during the day, you will get used to the blue sky and white day...... Don't worry about the official errand, except for Li Shouyi, no one dares to openly arrest my people, but Li Shouyi doesn't know you, and I can not admit it if someone recognizes me. ”
Sanniang was silent. Xue Chongxun said again: "It's okay today, let's go to the water and clouds to see Meng Xiaoyu." ”
"Is she important to Lang Jun?" Sanniang finally spoke.
Xue Chongxun pondered for a moment, as if it was difficult to answer this question. He suddenly remembered that there was a movie called This Killer is Not Too Cold, and the old man in the bar who introduced the killer to work in the bar laughed and played with a group of children every time he appeared. Xue Chongxun thought for a moment before muttering, "I found that when I was with her, it felt like this sky...... Blue sky and white clouds, very warm. You don't want to sue her about Xiao Heng, understand? ”
Sanniang nodded quietly, and then remained silent.
When they came to the water and clouds, it happened that the person performing on the wooden tower platform in the hall was Meng Xiaoyu, and the song he played and sang was "Sauvignon Blanc". Xue Chongxun stood in the crowd and enjoyed her performance by the way.
Meng Xiaoyu was wearing a white dress, looking beautiful and pure, and won bursts of excited applause from the officials. She held the pipa in her arms, sang to the depths of her love, played to the heartache, and a finger was a tear, but the audience was still applauding loudly.
Maybe it's this injury that makes her look like an amorous beauty, or maybe her tears look like pear blossoms with rain, which is very pitiful. The people who watched the singing and dancing spent money just to ask for a cool word, which matter how Meng Xiaoyu was really sad.
The poor girl, the girl who still cares about feelings, is always to the taste of men, as can be seen in countless glamorous poems describing beauties, the women in the poems are either weeping or sad, and have never seen laughter...... Most of the poems were written by men.
The bustard didn't know when she recognized Xue Chongxun, hurriedly ran over, and said with a smile: "Look what kind of noble person is coming!" ”
Xue Chongxun hugged his fists and said: "Don't be expensive, I'm just here to listen to Xiaoyu's singing." It's okay, Sister Du is busy with your ...... By the way, why don't you raise Xiaoyu for a few more days, and this is on the stage? ”
Bustard hurriedly said: "Yo, I didn't force Xiaoyu, she said to herself that it was okay, and besides, many of our repeat customers like to listen to Xiaoyu sing." After raising it for a few days, it was not a solution to keep it in the room all the time, so I agreed to let her come out and show her face. After a while, she came down and asked her to accompany Lang Jun alone...... Cai'er, you take Lang Jun upstairs to Xiaoyu's house and wait. ”
A little lady came over in response, and Xue Chongxun and the others followed her upstairs. The private rooms upstairs are much more expensive, but they are worth the money, and the condescending view of the show on the stage from the open window is indeed much more comfortable than below.
When Meng Xiaoyu finished singing, she put down the pipa, stood up and bowed softly to the people under the stage, showed a sweet smile, said something like thanks, and then turned around and left. The officials were still unsatisfied, shouting for her to do another song. But after a while, a group of beauties came up, and their dresses were exposed, and their skin was faintly exposed, and people were even more excited, and they no longer shouted Meng Xiaoyu to play again.
After a while, Meng Xiaoyu went upstairs, returned to his room, saw Xue Chongxun, was a little surprised, and said, "It's you......"
Xue Chongxun nodded and said, "I came back to listen to you sing, but unfortunately something happened, and today I finally got my wish." ”
Meng Xiaoyu's face sank, but he still said reluctantly: "I haven't thanked you for saving my life yet." There was obviously not much joy in her voice, but the timbre was still crisp and unchanged, like a yellow warbler, and a little cute.
"I saved you from an acquaintance, I don't know how to heal, you don't have to thank me."
Meng Xiaoyu sat down across the table, she was still wearing the white dress on the stage, and she hadn't had time to change yet. She glanced at Xue Chongxun and said, "I haven't asked the benefactor for his name yet." ”
Xue Chongxun said: "No need, we're like this, it's good...... Your outfit looks so beautiful that it makes you look like a fairy in the sky. ”
Although she is in the dust, she is not very old, girls like to listen to other people's praise, Meng Xiaoyu is no exception, and suddenly showed a smile: "I don't dare to be, the world dislikes people like us...... Lang Jun doesn't care? ”
Xue Chongxun said very sincerely: "Compared with me, you are purer than the spring water on the mountain. ”
"It's like you're such a bad person." Meng Xiaoyu glanced at him, suddenly remembered something, sighed faintly, shook his head and said, "Some people used to say this about me, and I still believe it." ”
Xue Chongxun was silent.
Maybe she felt that she didn't have to scruple in front of Xue Chongxun, so she didn't hide her feelings, she was silent for a while, and her eyes fell a big tear. Xue Chongxun hurriedly took out a handkerchief and handed it over.
Meng Xiaoyu sobbed, shaved his shoulders and twitched: "What mountain alliance and sea oath are fake, everything is fake!" He said that the family can't accept a servant to pass through the door, what do I ask for, but to be concubines, they are not a big family, where are there many rules? What is the difference between a concubine and a slave, I didn't ask him to pay for it, and I treated him badly when I was a slave in the past? Why did he ...... like this?"
Sanniang on the side said coldly: "There is no distinction between grievances and grievances, the heart is like a poisonous snake, such a person kills ......"
"Sanniang!" Xue Chongxun turned around and drank her, "Needless to say, didn't I tell you?" ”
Meng Xiaoyu wiped his tears with Xue Chongxun's handkerchief and said, "If it weren't for the servants, wouldn't they be treated like this?" ”
"No, it's the same for everyone." Xue Chongxun said lightly.
She cried for a while, and suddenly said again: "I'm sorry, Lang Jun is here to listen to the music, it shouldn't make you unhappy, what do you want to hear?" Is it still a teaching song? ”
Xue Chongxun thought for a while and said, "Let's be happy...... I think your voice is suitable for singing a song, and I wrote it to you. He walked over to the bookcase, picked up his pen and dipped it in a little ink, ready to record.
When he picked up the pen, he realized that it was very difficult to translate the songs into Tang scores, and the scores he often used at this time were basically instrumental scores, such as pipa and qin. Xue Chongxun was born in a family, and he received a good education since he was a child, and he knew all six arts, but it was still a little difficult to temporarily translate a tune into a musical instrument score.
Meng Xiaoyu saw Xue Chongxun scratching his head there and thinking about it, so he said: "You just say the name, I know how to make a lot of songs, I don't know what the name hums for a while." ”
Xue Chongxun said with a smile: "This song is not in fashion, and few people know it, so I won't write it either, I'll teach you to sing it." ”
Meng Xiaoyu glanced at Xue Chongxun's dark appearance, she really didn't look like a person who could sing, she forgot her sadness for a while, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her sleeves, and said deliberately: "Lang Jun write down the words, and then sing them again, I can remember the tune, but the words are not easy to remember." ”
"So powerful?" Xue Chongxun really didn't know that Meng Xiaoyu deliberately made him ugly and funny, and he exclaimed seriously.
Meng Xiaoyu desperately held back a smile, looked at Xue Chongxun's black face, and nodded with suffocation.
"Okay, I'll sing it." Xue Chongxun looked at Meng Xiaoyu innocently, and then looked back at Sanniang, even Sanniang, who had always been indifferent, had a smile on her face.
At this moment, his mood has become better, and his life seems to have become full of bright sunshine all of a sudden.
Xue Chongxun really sang: "...... Youth is incomprehensible to the red dust, the rouge is stained with ash, and the tears that have not been seen for a long time moisten your face......"
His voice is too coarse, just like "a big man holds an iron plate and copper pipa, but he is singing the willow shore and the wind and the waning moon"...... However, the pentatonic is still complete.
"Giggle......" He had just finished singing, Meng Xiaoyu couldn't hold back any longer, and leaned back with laughter.
Xue Chongxun blushed and said: "I don't like this voice very well, but the song itself is fine, if you sing it, it must be good, although the song is a little old." ”
Meng Xiaoyu was still holding Xue Chongxun's handkerchief in her hand, she covered her small mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "It's such a strange sound, I've never heard of it like this, where is it old?" ”
Xue Chongxun hurriedly said: "I have had this song for a long time, as you said, because the chapter is strange and different from the world, so there are few singers...... Do you really remember that? ”
Meng Xiaoyu nodded: "I learn this very quickly, otherwise there are so many songs, how can I be busy, I will sing it to you now, you can listen to it if there is anything wrong." ”
Xue Chongxun sat upright with great anticipation, looking at Meng Xiaoyu intently, he looked like a primary school student going to school for the first time, and as if he was listening to Buddhism and Zen.
Meng Xiaoyu picked up the pipa, moved elegantly and gently, and then held it in his arms and debugged it before he really sang, his crisp and pure voice was very pleasant...... When she sang the word "spring breeze", her voice was tactful, a little pure and full of feelings, full of love, and Xue Chongxun felt a lot of emotion when she heard it, and there was really a feeling of lingering sounds. Xue Chongxun judged well, her pure voice is indeed suitable for singing this song.
After a song, Xue Chongxun was really stunned, looking at Meng Xiaoyu's face for a long time, he really didn't believe his ears, a Tang Dynasty girl could sing so well, beautiful as fairy music, as if she was more powerful than the greatest musician......
It wasn't until Meng Xiaoyu was embarrassed and a flush appeared on his face that Xue Chongxun came back to his senses, and he said dumbfounded: "I can't say ...... good."
Meng Xiaoyu curled her mouth: "Is there something wrong with the singing?" ”
Xue Chongxun shook his head: "If I use it to describe it well, it is a blasphemy against Xianle." ”
Meng Xiaoyu's face turned red in an instant, and that delicate smile made Xue Chongxun feel that the whole world was full of flowers. She said sincerely, "Thank you, I feel much better now." ”
Xue Chongxun thought for a while and said: "Somehow, I was really happy to see you smile, as if whatever I did as long as you laughed at me was worth it, and suddenly I understood why King You did not hesitate to play the princes for the sake of a beautiful woman......"
"You, your mouth is really not simple, and you are very good at coaxing women."
Xue Chongxun shook his head, pointed at Sanniang and said, "You ask her, am I a sweet-mouthed person?" ”
Sanniang's face was expressionless, standing still.
Xue Chongxun said again: "Xiaoyu, I'll take you to a place." ”
"Where to go?" Meng Xiaoyu asked curiously.
"City God's Temple...... I have a friend who loves going there and I don't understand why she gets in a good mood every time she goes there, and maybe you too. ”
