Chapter 43: The Moon Half-Sloped
The reason why Xiao Jiading chose this song is because this poem was written by Zhou Bangyan, a lyricist in the Northern Song Dynasty, to a ** woman, saying that he was leaving, very reluctant, although I am gone, but I will come back, you are a singer, there is no way to dance and sing for other men, I will not be jealous, but don't treat our love as a charcoal fire in the furnace, it is easy to burn, and it will become ashes after burning. He chose such a poem, just because this poem was written for ** singers, and he wanted to use this to ridicule Huang Shiyun for being a singer. Why do they look like this now, could it be that they don't understand the meaning of this poem?
No, this Huang Shiyun is known as the first talented woman in Yizhou, and it is absolutely impossible to understand poetry. Is it a misunderstanding?
He immediately looked back and thought about this poem, and couldn't help but secretly complain, he patronized and thought that this poem was written for **singers, and wanted to use this to ridicule Huang Shiyun, but he didn't take into account that this poem is another love poem, and there is no mention of ** in the poem, it can be understood that Huang Shiyun is singing and dancing for other guests at home, so there is nothing wrong with it. On the contrary, they thought that they wrote such a poem in seven steps to express their admiration for Huang Shiyun. No wonder they are so virtuous.
Xiao Jiading had no choice but to deliberately stand unsteadily and pretend to be drunk, Huang Shiyun reacted quickly, immediately got up and went over, and actually held his arm, and replied shyly: "Big brother be careful!" ”
Xiao Jiading shook his body and said, "I'm sorry, I'm ......, I'm a little drunk, I forgot what I just wrote, don't laugh!" ”
Huang Shiyun said softly: "The eldest brother is really a genius, if he can really become a poem in seven steps, and it is so neat, the artistic conception is so appropriate, the little sister has been engraved in my heart......"
Xiao Jiading smiled and returned to his seat.
Huang Lushi said: "Hurry up, send Xiao Zhiyi a bowl of sobering soup!" Hurry up! ”
Huang Shiyun sat down beside Xiao Jiading and said, "Big brother won't drink for the time being, please let the little sister play a song for the big brother to sober up, okay?" ”
"You're giving me a to sober up?" A lewd smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Jiading's mouth, "Okay! Come on! ”
Huang Shiyun couldn't hear another meaning in his words, stretched out her lotus-like arms, took a tube of white jade cave flute, put it in front of her delicate red lips, sat on the couch next to Xiao Jiading, and played it melodiously.
To be honest, this Huang Shiyun's hole flute is still quite beautiful. It's just that in Xiao Jiading's eyes, she feels that her little mouth seems to be blowing another flute, just like that day in the Jade Building, Crazy Mei blew for herself. Xiao Jiading was very impressed by his obscenity.
After the song, Xiao Jiading applauded and praised continuously.
Huang Shiyun smiled and said, "How about asking my eldest brother to write another poem?" ”
Xiao Jiading wanted to cover up the embarrassment of his previous lyrics, so he nodded and said, "Okay!" Xiao is ugly! ”
Huang Shiyun poured him a glass of wine, he took it, stood up, walked towards the window, not seven steps, he had already arrived in front of the window, looked back at the carved beams and paintings in the house, and looked at the fair maids standing by the wall, and then turned around, looked up, and saw a crescent moon in the sky, hanging in the sky. At the moment, he slowly recited the poem of the late Tang Dynasty poet Wei Zhuang:
Ears full of sheng songs and dazzling eyes,
The building is full of pearls and cui to win Wu Wa.
Because I know the fairy cave on the sea,
It's just like a rich family in the world.
Embroidered households save red candle market at night,
The dancing clothes are sunny and the sky is shining.
But the feast is sorrowful, and the youth is scattered,
The head of the Shaocheng River is half oblique.
This poem was written by the great poet Wei Zhuang at the banquet of Zhou Bao's family, the envoy of the Zhenhai Navy. It is written that there are bursts of sheng songs at the banquet, pink beauties, jewelry and jade, which is comparable to the Wu Wanu who is "beautiful and beautiful, and beautiful and glorious". Such a luxurious and wealthy family, even if it is a place where the gods live, is nothing more than that. Thinking that this banquet of competition and brilliance will eventually disperse, Qing'e beauties are gone, and only the half moon on the horizon is left to accompany him.
After he finished reciting this poem, he looked back at Huang Shiyun and them, only to see her looking at him with affection, her eyes full of love and reverence. Before that, she always felt that her poetry talent was one of the best in Yizhou, but now, after listening to Xiao Jiading's two poems, she felt that she was simply a frog at the bottom of the well, and Xiao Jiading in front of her was a real talent, indicating that that day in Taolin, he was just a pretended farmer, and he had no eyes and no disrespectful words, and now when I think about it, I can't help but feel ashamed and regretful. Fortunately, it seems that his apology is quite sincere, he has been forgiven, and he even has love, and he can't help but feel happy and proud in his heart.
Xiao Jiading saw her affectionate appearance, and knew that this sassy fox had to be emotional, and he was not interested in her at all. When the following expressionlessly drank the wine in the cup, he said: "It's ugly!" "Back in his seat.
Huang Shiyun hurriedly poured him wine, and said softly: "Big brother is lonely, it's hard enough, if you think this is good, come often in the future, this is your home." ”
Huang Lushi smiled and said: "Yes, Xiao Zhiyi, I have been playing with the pen for many years, but I have never seen such a talent as Zhiyi, compared to you, what is Zhong Wenbo, from now on, you are the first talent in Yizhou, ah no, it should be said that it is the first talent in Datang!" ”
Xiao Jiading said: "Laughing, what kind of first talent is this, I'm afraid it's not so easy to get." ”
Huang Shiyun said: "It is the annual poetry club that wins the championship to be awarded this nickname." ”
"Poetry Club?"
"Yes, every spring, it is held in the peach forest in front of the Shaocheng Temple in Yizhou. Presided over by the history of the thorn himself, there are also color heads, the winner of the color head ten times, the list eye seven times, and the flower exploration three times. There is no limit to male or female. - Brother Xiao, you are so talented, you must go when the time comes. If you go, you'll be crowned! ”
Xiao Jiading squinted at her and smiled: "Then you two Yizhou No. 1, do you also want to participate?" ”
"yes. Of course, a few years ago, I won the first place respectively, that's why they called us that. In fact, the real number one should be you, Brother Xiao! ”
Xiao Jiading originally didn't want to participate in any poetry meeting, especially Li Ke, the governor and assassin of Shi Li Ke, he really didn't want to get involved in this royal strife, but a poetry meeting is not a political event, and it must not be implicated, deep down in his heart, he does have some sympathy for this Li Ke, and wants to see the last glance of this Shu king who is both civil and military, maybe he will lose his head tomorrow. Thinking of this, I asked, "Are there any requirements for the competition?" ”
"No, it's okay for men, women and children. On the day of the competition, everyone needs to write a poem within the specified time according to the requirements, and the five assistant teachers of the county government and the government academy will judge if three of them feel that they can do it, they will be qualified for the competition. Next, the knockout round is held, and the poems are written according to the requirements, and the other five assistant coaches are judged on the spot, and the bottom ten are eliminated each time, until only the bottom ten are left to enter the finals. The question was made by Lord Thorn Shi, and the judgment was made by Lord Thorn Shi and nine erudite professors from the state and county colleges. Pick the leader, the flower and the leader. Thorn Shi personally presented the award, and wore red ribbons, and rode around the city on horseback. ”
"It's kind of interesting." Xiao Jiading said: "When will it be held?" ”
"It is held on the first day of March every year."
"March? Okay, I'll check it out then. Don't you need to sign up or anything? ”
"No, you don't! We'll go together then, shall we? ”
"Okay."
"That's all right!" Huang Shiyun looked very excited, and poured wine for Xiao Jiading.
Xiao Jiading said: "If I drink you and don't drink, that's not good." ”
This Huang Shiyun drank an average amount of alcohol, and he didn't dare to drink in front of his father. Unexpectedly, Huang Lushi smiled and nodded: "Yun'er, you can accompany you to have a few drinks with Brother Xiao." ”
"Yes!" Huang Shiyun saluted each other with wine, Xiao Jiading drank three glasses in one go, and Huang Shiyun also drank three glasses. Immediately, her face turned red. Under the lamp, it looks more and more delicate and cute. Xiao Jiading squinted at her, thinking that this little girl was really a little beautiful. It's a pity it's just an embroidered pillow.
When it was almost the second watch, Xiao Jiading got up to say goodbye.
Huang Lu hurriedly said to his daughter: "Yun'er, I'm drunk for my father, you send your eldest brother Xiao." ”
Huang Shiyun nodded shyly, because Xiao Jiading was also a little staggered and unstable, so she took his arm and took advantage of the moonlight to come out and walk to the door.
Walking in the quiet courtyard, the cold moonlight shone on them, like a couple under the moon before the flowers.
Seeing Huang Shiyun supporting him at the gate of the courtyard, his delicate body trembled a little, and he didn't know if it was because of the chill of early spring or the excitement and nervousness of his mood. She secretly glanced at Xiao Jiading and said softly: "Brother Xiao, you ......, are you really not angry with your little sister?" ”
Xiao Jiading stood and looked at her: "What do you say?" ”
Huang Shiyun lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, my little sister is wrong, please forgive Brother Xiao......"
"No sincerity!" Xiao Jiading deliberately said coldly.
Huang Shiyun raised her eyes and looked at him: "Then ......, how can I be sincere?" ”
"What do you say?" Xiao Jiading still kicked the ball to her. He wanted to see what would happen to him when he said this sassy fox.
Huang Shiyun lowered her head shyly, her voice trembling a little: "Little sister ......, I won't ......, big brother, you teach me ......"
Xiao Jiading stepped forward, almost touching hers, looking at her small mouth, and slowly leaned towards her delicate red lips.
Huang Shiyun was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out, she quickly closed her eyes, looked up on her pretty face, and waited for the girl's first kiss.
However, he never felt Xiao Jiading's lips, but heard Xiao Jiading's faint voice: "Remember two things: don't look down on the farmers, without them farming, you can only starve to death!" Don't be like a shrewd before, self-righteous, that's very annoying! I won't forgive you unless you do both! ”
Huang Shiyun opened her eyes and looked at Xiao Jiading's handsome cheeks under the moonlight, she was ashamed and embarrassed, biting her red lip gently, and didn't know what to say......
Xiao Jiading didn't speak anymore, and strode out of the courtyard gate, but where was he still a little drunk?
