Chapter 185: New Year's Guitar (Part II)

At the beginning, when Zhao Yan played the prelude to "Love Must Be Done", Cao Ying and Xue Ning'er both felt that their eyes lit up, and they felt that this instrument not only had a crisp and pleasant sound, but also had a changeable timbre, which was not inferior to the piano or pipa. But then Zhao Yan began to sing along with the music, and as soon as she opened her mouth, the lyrics were so explicit, and what made Cao Ying feel even more shy was that Zhao Yan had been staring at her affectionately, obviously this song was sung for her.

If there were only Cao Ying and Zhao Yan, although Cao Ying would feel shy, she would definitely feel very happy in her heart, even if the lyrics sung by Zhao Yan sounded a little vulgar to her, but the feelings expressed in the lyrics were true, which Cao Ying could distinguish. It's just that now there are Xue Ning'er, Xiaodou Sprouts, and Mixue around, which makes Cao Ying feel like her face is on fire, the tips of her hot ears are red, and her eyes are always staring at the ground, and she doesn't dare to look at Zhao Yan at all.

Compared with Cao Ying's shyness, Xue Ning'er and Mi Xue also reacted one by one after being shocked, looking at Zhao Yan with an affectionate face, and looking at Cao Ying, who was irrepressibly ashamed, the three girls felt a little funny at the moment, but they didn't dare to laugh out loud, mainly because they were afraid that Cao Ying would be angry and angry, and then kill them.

Although Cao Ying was shy and Xue Ning'er felt funny, they all had to admit that the song sung by Zhao Yan was very good, but the lyrics were a little too vulgar and explicit, and they couldn't usually sing it in front of people, otherwise they would have to be scolded to death.

finally waited for Zhao Yan to finish singing this song, and then put on a pose that he thought was very cool, and asked Cao Ying: "How is the lady, is this song I sing good?" ”

Cao Ying was already embarrassed, and after hearing Zhao Yan's words, she was not embarrassed to answer at all, but Mi Xue next to her smiled and said: "The county king sings so well, the slaves and maids still want to listen to it, why don't the county king sing a few more!" ”

"Haha, you still know the goods, this king was known as the king of Tiantai singers back then, and he ...... back then. Uh...... "When Zhao Yan said this, he suddenly remembered that he had already traveled to the Great Song Dynasty, and they wouldn't understand when it came to the things of his previous life, so he had to stop at the moment, in fact, he was really good at singing, when he was in college, he once defeated many contestants in one fell swoop at the rooftop singing club in the boys' dormitory building, and was respected as the rooftop singer by the entire dormitory building.

Next, Zhao Yan played a simple, but very good-sounding "Sky City" again, and this time he didn't sing it again, just played it solo on the guitar, in fact, he also deliberately sang that love song to Cao Ying just now, the purpose was to divert Cao Ying's attention, lest she want to sleep again.

Removed Cao Ying's lyrics that they felt were a little vulgar, Sky City was unanimously praised by them, especially Cao Ying and Xue Ning'er, who were proficient in music, were very interested in the guitar in Zhao Yan's hand, and even Xue Ning'er also proposed to learn to play the guitar, Zhao Yan also nodded in agreement, to be able to have a peerless beauty like Xue Ning'er to learn guitar from himself, this was one of his dreams in his previous life.

The winter night is extremely cold, but there are several large coal stoves in the living room, which makes the whole living room warm like spring, Zhao Yan held the guitar and played it one after another, Xue Ning'er and Cao Ying They were also very fascinated by it, after all, whether it was the guitar or Zhao Yan's music playing the piano, it was very novel for them, and it might feel a little awkward at first, but after slowly getting used to it, it would feel very good, of course, the premise is that Zhao Yan can't sing those songs that are too explicit.

Zhao Yan played the guitar in his hand, and the whole person seemed to have returned to his previous life, and the bits and pieces of that life came to his heart, relatives, friends, students, etc., familiar faces floated in front of his eyes, thinking that he would never go back again, and never see those familiar people again, which made Zhao Yan's heart a little sour.

Perhaps it was because he thought of his past life that he could never go back to, on this Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Yan suddenly played the last song he learned in his previous life, that is, "Old Boy", which was once popular in the later life, when he played this nostalgic song that was known as the most classic, accompanied by a sad melody, Zhao Yan sang softly again.

That's the person I love so much

How do I express it?

Will she accept me

Maybe I'll never say that to her

……

When Zhao Yan sang the sentence "The people who accompanied me at that time, where are you now", he only felt that his nose was sore, and tears couldn't stop flowing, when he had just crossed, he couldn't believe this fact for a few days, after these days of life, he thought that he had adapted to the life of the Great Song Dynasty, but at this moment of the arrival of the New Year, he couldn't help but think of those familiar people in his previous life again, and a strong sense of loneliness slowly surrounded him.

A nostalgic "Old Boy", coupled with Zhao Yan's state of mind at this time, made him cry non-stop, but he completely integrated his feelings into it, and sang this classic song extremely touching. Although Cao Ying and Xue Ning'er on the opposite side didn't understand Zhao Yan's state of mind, seeing his tearful face, coupled with the sadness revealed in the song, also made their hearts sour, the younger little bean sprouts and Mi Xue were fine, but Cao Ying and Xue Ning'er accompanied Zhao Yan silently shed tears.

After a while, he opened his eyes, and when he saw Cao Ying and Xue Ning'er looking at him with tears in his eyes, he was a little embarrassed, and then he smiled and said: "I was too involved in singing just now, but I didn't expect it to make you cry." ”

Seeing Zhao Yan open his eyes, Cao Ying wiped her two red eyes with a handkerchief, then stood up and walked to Zhao Yan's side, helped him wipe the tears on his face and said, "Husband, don't sing this kind of song in the future, it sounds uncomfortable." ”

"Hehe, listen to the lady, I won't sing in the future!" Zhao Yan also came out of the sad state of mind just now, and agreed with a smile at the moment, all the things in the previous life can no longer go back, and now he has a wife, relatives and friends, so from today on, Zhao Yan decided to completely give up thinking about his previous life and began to work hard to live this life.

Xue Ning'er in the back saw Cao Ying and Zhao Yan's intimate appearance, and she couldn't help but show an expression of envy on her face, in fact, she also wanted to come forward to comfort Zhao Yan just now, but with her identity, what qualifications did she have to comfort a county king? Even the little bean sprouts and Mi Xue beside her were more qualified than her, thinking of this, Xue Ning'er couldn't help but sigh softly.

According to the local customs of Kaifeng, every year on the morning of the first day of the New Year, you have to eat a dumpling, so Zhao Yan no longer plays the guitar, but asks Mi Xue to bring the prepared dumpling filling and good noodles, and the five people start to make dumplings around the table.

Cao Ying is a master of making dumplings, she used to be the fastest to wrap, but this time she met an opponent, Xue Ning'er did not lose to her in the degree of making dumplings, and she could make a variety of dumplings, and after a while, she wrapped seven or eight dumplings of different shapes, which made Zhao Yan also eye-opening, and Cao Ying was also convinced.

Originally, Mi Xue prepared three kinds of dumpling filling, Zhao Yan likes to eat cabbage pork, small bean sprouts and Mi Xue also like it, Cao Ying is a vegetarian, so she prepared cabbage egg and mushroom filling, and there is also cabbage and mutton filling, mainly for Xue Ning'er, after all, not everyone is willing to eat pork, but Xue Ning'er did not use mutton filling, but wrapped a lot of pork and cabbage stuffed dumplings with Zhao Yan and them.

When it was dawn, the dumplings also went down to the pot, and then Zhao Yan and they finished eating the dumplings together, but this was only the beginning of the New Year's customs, after eating the dumplings, Zhao Yan and Cao Ying had to enter the palace again to pay New Year's greetings to Zhao Shu, and not only did they want to go, as long as it was a royal family with a close blood relationship, they had to send people into the palace, and there were also ministers in the court, who also had to enter the palace to worship Zhao Shu.

However, before going to the palace, Zhao Yan had to choose to change into the royal clothes that he usually did not wear, and Cao Ying also had to change the ornaments and clothes that represented his identity, and then the two of them got into the carriage again and prepared to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings, but when they left the palace, they saw many children blocking the door of the county palace, and then Lao Fu smiled and gave these children some snacks, dried fruits and the like, and after these children got something, they immediately turned to the next family, and each of them had a small pocket full of various snacks.

"What are they doing here?" Zhao Yan looked at those children and asked curiously.

"This common name is to ask for walnuts, that is, in the early morning of the first day of the new year every year, children will go to each household in groups to ask for walnuts, of course, it is not necessary to give walnuts, all kinds of dried fruits, snacks or something, and even some poor people, give a handful of fried beans." Cao Ying explained with a smile, and at the same time showed a nostalgic look on her face, she also asked for walnuts when she was a child, of course, with her identity, she could only ask for them with her cousins in the Cao family's mansion, as for the children running outside, most of them were ordinary people.

Zhao Yan didn't expect that Da Song would have such a custom, but unfortunately he was past the age of asking for walnuts, otherwise it would have been very interesting.

Facing the morning sun, Zhao Yan's carriage entered the palace again, this time Zhao Shu met with Zhao Yan and other royal families in the Imperial Palace, as for Cao Ying, he was in the side hall with some royal ladies, and Queen Gao was responsible for the reception.

Greeting the emperor for the New Year is not a simple matter, but there is a whole set of etiquette, Zhao Yan followed Zhao Ji to learn to do it like a robot, anyway, he will do whatever Zhao Ji does, there will be absolutely no mistake. After paying tribute to Zhao Shu, Zhao Yan took him, Zhao Hao, Zhao Hao, and the four brothers to pay New Year's greetings to the elders in the royal family.

Finally, the New Year was finally finished, and the people slowly dispersed, Zhao Yan was about to go back to the carriage to wait for Cao Ying, but he didn't expect Zhao Yan to suddenly stop and say: "Third brother stay, I forgot to tell you something yesterday, in a few months, I'm afraid you will have to go to Liao with me!" ”r1152
