Chapter Ninety-Eight: The song is wrong, Zhou Langgu
*
"Madam, there is nothing to do in the army today, please sing a song for the three armies."
The tall and handsome Helan Chong strode in from outside the camp tent, took off the silver helmet on his head, and said to the young woman who was sitting in the camp tent sewing clothes with a hearty smile.
The woman has a good face and gentle manners, but she does not apply powder, dresses plainly, and the most valuable thing on her body is only a pair of plain gold earrings on her earlobes, and in addition to this, it is the same jinghai cloth skirt as ordinary people. She smiled softly and slightly shyly, nodded, put down the needle and thread in her hand and stood up, picked up a guqin next to her, followed Helan Chongying out of the tent, smiled and lowered her head to the middle of the soldiers who were already looking forward to it in the twilight.
"Go back to the car and drive a long road. Looking around, the east wind shakes the grass. What you encounter for no reason, why don't you grow old quickly? There are times of prosperity and decline, and it is not too early to stand up. Life is not a golden stone, how can you live a long life? Suddenly materialized, the name is treasured......"
This ancient poem, which persuades people to make meritorious contributions and pioneer immortal feats as soon as possible in the short life that cannot last as long as gold and stone, is sung with a melodious melody, so that people in the boring military not only listen to it with pleasant pleasure and sudden enlightenment, but also secretly feel energetic, and the fatigue will disappear. As soon as the song ended, cheers and applause in the barracks were endless.
In the bonfire that night, it was the last time Helan Chu saw his father's handsome and tall figure, and it was also the last time he heard his mother play and sing this familiar song with a tactful voice.
Time flies, time flies, twenty years pass in the blink of an eye, until the faces of his parents can't stop them from becoming blurry no matter how hard he tries to remember. The song and melody were still seared into his mind.
……
Helan Chu, who was leaving Weiyang Palace, couldn't help but stop on the road and listen carefully to the bursts of singing. Although this song is sung by the people, everyone can learn and sing, but this ancient tune is no longer popular. He hadn't heard anyone sing it in years, and now it was as if it had crossed the corridor of time, and suddenly came to him from a long time ago. Even if he is not sensitive and delicate, he can't help but recall a lot.
"Who's singing Acura?" Helan Chu asked in a deep voice.
The attendant beside him who sent Helan Chu for Zuo Yingyuan listened to the singing sound that was obviously coming from the house where the palace people lived, and bowed his head and replied, "Back to the Taishi, this voice sounds strange. The villain had never heard of someone singing in their dwelling at such a time. Maybe it's the new Aunt Ho? ”
When Helan Chu heard the mention of this person, he thought of her strange behavior, and couldn't help but move in his heart, "Take this seat to see." ”
When the chamberlain heard that the dignified master was going to see the place where the lowly palace people lived, he couldn't help but be dumbfounded. I even thought I had misheard.
But when the chamberlain led Helan Chu to the courtyard where the palace people lived, the singing and piano had stopped. At this time, most of the palace people were busy in various palace rooms, and the attendants knocked on the door one by one, but they never got a response.
After standing in the courtyard for a long time, Helan Chu had a feeling of loss. Pacing away.
The back of Helan Chu silently leaving the courtyard, and the figure of Aunt He who poked out of the courtyard after he left, all fell into the eyes of Zuo Ying, who was about to leave Weiyang Palace and go to Qingquan Palace, expanding the doubts that already existed in her heart.
"Yu'er," Zuo Ying asked Scarlet Feather next to her as she walked, "Is there anything special about that singing just now?" ”
is the so-called "there is a mistake in the song, Zhou Langgu", could it be that Helan Chu was a big fan for a while, and he wanted to instruct the palace people's quyi? Zuo Ying's musical literacy is not high. You'll have to consult a professional.
"Back to Your Majesty," replied Scarlet Feather, "the lyrics are a Chinese poem by an unknown author, and the music is for the convenience of the people." Because it is a folk song that is passed down by word of mouth, there is no strict notation melody. If there is anything special, Scarlet Feather only knows that it is already a very old tune, and I am afraid that people don't like to play and sing anymore. ”
"Oh? It seems that it was indeed played and sung by the old palace people. "I used the mistake to win Zhou Lang's attention. Zuo Ying thought it was a girl's feelings, she smiled weirdly and said, "Help me pay attention to it another day, who is the one who played the piano and sang just now." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Scarlet Feather earnestly agreed.
It didn't take long for Qingquan Palace to be in front of you. Zuo Ying asked people to stop the palace people who saw her canopy from a distance and were about to go in to report, and walked into the palace in a low-key manner, wanting to see if the two buddies had drunk well.
Unexpectedly, Qingquan Palace, which thought that there were only two people drinking quietly, seemed to be very busy at this time, and groups of palace people were entering and exiting from the side door, and they were moving a lot of things into the lobby. When they saw Zuo Ying and his party, they all put down the heavy objects in their hands and knelt down to say goodbye.
Zuo Ying was just curious to ask them what they were doing, when out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of something flying out of the lobby!
Scarlet Feather was quick-eyed, grabbed Zuo Ying's arm and stepped back, and the object fell on the ground less than one meter away from Zuo Ying with a "pop". When everyone looked closely, they saw that it was a thick parchment that had almost been broken to pieces.
Almost at the same time, a high-pitched curse came from the lobby: "Why did you bring this piece of garbage!" Burn it for me! ”
The attendant beside Zuo Ying reacted in surprise at this time, and shouted angrily at the lobby: "Who is so bold to throw His Majesty's dragon body with sundries!" ”
Zuo Ying ordered Scarlet Feather to pick up the parchment book and take a closer look, only to see the words "Little Dai Li Ji" written on the cover in beautiful and beautiful handwriting. Reaching out and turning over a few pages inside, I only felt that the handwriting was clear and neat, which made people feel like they were willing to turn down and look down even if they couldn't read the content. It is not difficult to write a page of such words, but it is difficult to write a book with such a thick fist, even if you turn to the back, you still don't feel that the font has the slightest looseness and fatigue, and the mind is scattered, which makes people admire his extraordinary perseverance and persistence in addition to admiring the transcriber's pen power.
At this time, the people in the lobby had heard the angry shouts of the waiters outside and hurriedly walked out.
"Your Majesty!" Li Yunshen, who was the leader, still said with a smile on his face: "The minister didn't know that His Majesty was coming, and he missed the welcome, please forgive Your Majesty!" After speaking, he will lead the palace people to kneel.
Zuo Ying saw Ashina Wuji, who was behind Li Yunshen, although his footsteps were a little floating, but on the whole he was still there like a Dinghai God Needle, and knew that he must not have the consciousness of kneeling, so in order not to set him off too abruptly, so he took two steps forward to support Li Yunshen and said: "Aiqing, I haven't seen you for many days, I miss you very much, you don't have to kneel and bow as soon as you meet, go in and talk about it." ”
Zuo Ying followed everyone to the banquet in the lobby and sat down, Li Yunshen ordered someone to remove all the appetizers on the table and replace them with new dishes, and ordered someone to fill the wine glass in front of Zuo Ying.
At this time, Li Yunshen no longer had the ability to personally serve Zuo Ying as attentively and thoughtfully as usual. Although his amount of alcohol is not shallow, he also knows the advance and retreat, and knows the depth, but he can't stand the fact that Ashina does not hesitate to persuade him to take a sip by making three glasses by himself, and he is already drunk after an hour, and it is difficult to walk in a straight line. But it seems that Ashina has just entered the state, far from getting drunk. The palace people have already reported that the ten jars of aged wine brought in from outside the palace have been almost drunk.
"Little San'er, what are you moving to Qingquan Palace?" Zuo Ying asked after drinking two glasses of wine.
"I'm moving here to live with this guy with good wine! What kind of Fengyi Palace, whoever loves to live in it, let's live! Ashina will rush to the top indefinitely. For him, it seems that the names of Han people are more difficult to remember.
Ashina Indefinite, this guy is so easy to buy? While it wasn't appropriate to allow him to do this, it would be a good idea to be able to stabilize him first. Zuo Ying smiled slightly, "It's up to the emperor." ”
"Bloodless muddy boy, what are you still doing with that broken book?" Ashina noticed that Scarlet Feather was still holding something that poured his appetite in his hand, "Take it and burn it, that demon woman's things, I don't like to look at it more!" ”
Scarlet Feather looked at the book "Little Dai Liji" in his hand a little overwhelmed.
"Imperial husband, what is this?" Zuo Ying took the parchment book from Scarlet Feather's hand and asked. Although she knew that the "demon woman" in Ashina's mouth was Aunt He, and she also knew that Ashina Wuji hated her deeply, but she didn't understand how it could come to him since it was a hated person's thing.
Ashina knew indefinitely that it would be impossible to let this disgusting thing out of his sight if he didn't make it clear, so he said impatiently: "This is what the demon woman gave to my brother Wang, and she wants to entrap Brother Wang." Hmph, I don't want to eat her. ”
Speaking of which, Zuo Ying basically understood, and if he continued to say more, his identity would be revealed, so he smiled and said, "Yu'er, put it away." Since the royal husband doesn't like it, let's take it back and burn it. ”
Scarlet Feather agreed, and hid the book in her arms.
Just as Zuo Ying was about to raise her glass and dilute the topic just now, a serving palace maid next to her suddenly let out an exclamation, and with a "clang" sound, the wine jug also fell to the ground, if it weren't for the silver wine vessel they used today, the wine jug would have been broken.
"What's going on?"
"Your Majesty forgives your sins, Your Majesty forgives your sins!"
The two high-status palace people next to him hurriedly stepped forward to reprimand the palace maid who had missed, and hurriedly asked Zuo Ying for his guilt.
"What just happened?" Zuo Ying looked at the palace maid's surprised expression, not as simple as a novice stage fright. What kind of day is today, there are really a lot of cups and discs in front of her.
"Slave maid......" The palace maid fell to the ground, her sleeves trembling slightly, but she seemed to stop talking.
"Your Majesty asks you something, say it quickly. Otherwise, it is a capital offense! The palace people next to him were anxiously persuaded.
