Chapter 112: The Purple Blossom Blooms Everywhere
Long Xi's brain spun fast, and she quickly guessed it, and she said, "Oh, I see." There should be a stake at the bottom of the lake, and a pot of similar color to the water should be placed on the stake, half above the water. Chrysanthemum is planted in a pot with a similar color to the lake, and the soil on the potting soil is dyed with a color similar to that of the lake, so from a distance, it looks like it really grows out of the water. Brother Kun's idear is pretty good!"
Long Xi smiled and fell into Mo Kun's arms, and Mo Kun's eyes rubbed her head dotingly.
He looked at the lake and said, "Look, there's a painting boat there." β
Long Xi followed his eyes and saw that there were several painting boats on the lake, and there were drivers in beautiful clothes on the boats, young and charming.
It may be that some members of the "house viewing group" are enjoying their lives and taking a painting boat to enjoy the flowers in the lake, right?
Long Xi looked at this beautiful scenery and couldn't help but think of the lyrics in "The Peony Pavilion": Smoke waves paint boats, and the people of Jinping look at this Shaoguang cheap!
One of the boats is very magnificent and different. The bow of the ship is a half-body lacquered gold lion, with protruding eyes and nose, curly hair upside down, and is opening its mouth to make a roar, which is really majestic.
There is a fan-shaped window in the painted cabin, and when you look out of the window, the people inside look like a flowing fan-like figure painting, and when you look out of the window, the scenery outside looks like a flowing fan-like landscape painting.
There were six men in the boat, one of whom was a man, dressed in a double-breasted military uniform, about forty years of age, thin as dry bones, full of silver hair, eagle eyes and hooked nose, sharp eyes, high cheekbones, and a face covered with knife-like wrinkles.
Sitting to the left of the eagle-eyed man is a middle-aged man, black and strong, with a persimmon face, a leopard head and ringed eyes, eyebrows scattered like steel forks, a garlic nose, and thick lips.
Sitting to the right of the eagle-eyed man is a beautiful woman with a fragrant posture.
She wears a snow-blue wide-brimmed straw hat with a netting of the same color hanging down the brim, and her peach blossom face looms, adding a bit of mystery.
Her long hair was permed into delicate curls, she wore a long dress of the same color as her hat, and the peony pendant on her chest made of pink diamonds of different sizes was shining in the sun. A pair of sapphire earrings in his ears shimmered with a faint blue cold light.
She is silent and thoughtful, giving people the feeling of an ice beauty who is "as bright as a peach and plum, as cold as frost".
Long Xi looked carefully and felt that this young woman was very similar to Xiaolu's mother Fan Qianqian, but the distance was far away, and the young woman covered her face with a face net, and she lowered her head, so she couldn't see it really.
Sitting on the right side of the eagle-eyed man was a burly man, and Long Xi looked at the back and clothes, very similar to the man with eight eyebrows who was staring at her just now. But she couldn't see his face, and she wasn't sure.
There is also a man sitting next to this man, wearing a moon-white long gauze robe and an apricot yellow horse coat.
Above the boat, there was a goshawk circling.
At this time, the painting boat turned around, and Long Xi saw that the burly man was really the man with the eight-character eyebrows, at this moment he looked lazy, his expression was very tired, as if his eyes couldn't be opened.
He didn't seem to appreciate the beauty in front of him, and only occasionally raised his eyes to cast a tired glance at the ink.
On the contrary, the young man beside him, who was handsome and clear, gentle and charming in his gestures, but glamorous but not vulgar, and looked very familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while.
Long Xi said: "Who is that wearing a long gauze robe, it seems to be very familiar!"
Mo Kun said: "It is the pillar of the 'Young Fengming' Kunqu Opera Troupe, and it plays Xiao Dan's Yun Dieyi. β
Long Xi said: "Oh, I remembered. Last time, my grandmother watched TV and saw a person who played Kunqu Opera Xiaodan, and it was him. He acted brilliantly! The singing voice and the eyes were simply integrated with the character. He didn't wear makeup today, but I couldn't remember if it was him or Brother Kun's sharp eyes. You don't have so much spare time to watch TV, how do you know him?"
Mo Kun smiled and said, "He is now the hottest Kundan in Suzhou." He has had a talent for singing since he was a child, and has devoted himself to learning opera for many years, and now he can take charge on his own. And he is also the head of the Chick Fengming Kunqu Opera Troupe. β
Mo Kun was snickering in his heart: Yun Dieyi was invited by him, and it was also one of the surprises tonight, he had searched Long Xi's memory and knew that she liked to listen to Yun Dieyi sing "Peony Pavilion". However, he didn't know the people who were on the boat with Yun Dieyi, so he didn't know if they had made an appointment to come together, or if they met by chance and happened to be sitting in the same boat?
Unconsciously, Long Xi and Mo Kun have walked to the foot of the "Star Picking Tower".
Mokun dragged her up the hall on the second floor.
This hall is very antique, with rosewood tables, beaded curtains, and cloth curtains, which are very similar to ancient banquets.
I saw several rectangular, square, triangular, and circular tables put together in various shapes: in the center was a galleon, surrounded by butterflies, birds, flowers, small bridges, and houses, and they surrounded the big ship like stars and moons.
Mo Kun said: "These tables and chairs are modeled after the ancient pictures of swallows and butterflies! They look novel and interesting, right? This kind of seat is not divided into priority and priority, which makes people a little less restrained." We're here tonight for our birthday. The guests are here. β
He slapped his palm three times.
I saw a group of people hugging Longxi's grandmother coming out of the bead curtain.
Grandma is also dressed brightly today, as if she is dozens of years younger. Needless to say, it must be the masterpiece of the stylist invited by Mokun.
Grandma is wearing a classical high bun, obliquely inserting a simple white hosta, a pair of fan-shaped enamel earrings in her ears, wearing eight treasures on her neck, wearing a set of smoked yellow background phoenix lotus makeup forged skirt gown, plus a pearl blouse, wearing a double dragon play bead red agate bracelet on her arm, and a pair of gold embroidered bows depicting dragons and phoenixes at her feet, and those clothes, shoes, socks and jewelry are all given to her grandmother by Mokun.
Standing next to my grandmother were my grandmother's old neighbors and good friends Aunt Wu, Aunt Chen, and Aunt Lu.
Standing behind my grandmother are the villagers and elders of Zuixiang Village, including Uncle Zhao's family and the family of Village Chief Long.
Immediately afterwards, two groups of people came out after the curtain, one group of people were Principal Deng Chao, Teacher Lin, and Xiaolu, Yu Lanjie, Yan Lichuan and other classmates of Longxi.
And the other group of people are Zhu Junyao, Niu Rhino, Grandpa Mouse, and Feng Zihao, who have not seen each other for a while, who met in Xiaoemei Mountain. Zhu Junyao pulled Dong'er, and when Dong'er saw so many people, she lowered her head a little nervously and rubbed her handkerchief with both hands.
Long Xi cried with joy. Lord Mokun really put a lot of thought into this birthday banquet for her!
Like the host, Lord Mokun arranged for everyone to sit down, slapped his palms three more times, and motioned for tea.
Just listen to the melodious ancient music sounded behind the crystal curtain, more than a dozen Tang Dynasty maids dressed as beautiful waiters came out from behind the curtain, offering Hangzhou Longjing tea before the rain, and a plate of preserved fruits, including lychee meat, longan meat, raisins, dried star fruit and so on.
Then, the maids took out some carved peach preserves, which were delicious and beautiful, and they were very colorful!
I saw that Mo Kun slapped his palm three more times, and the sound of ancient music sounded inside.
The two maids rolled up the crystal curtain, accompanied by the sound of accompaniment, and made a stunning appearance in a cloud butterfly dress with a horn.
Yun Dieyi danced the Hangzhou black fan in her hand with one hand, and sang with a beautiful orchid finger on the other: "It turns out that the purple and red flowers are blooming all over the ......"
Grandma likes to watch Kunqu Opera, and when she heard this first sentence, she immediately said: "This is the "Soap Luo Robe" in the "Garden" in "The Peony Pavilion"!"
This Du Liniang of Yun Dieyi looks very good, her figure is soft, her actions are like swinging willows in the wind, the flowers shine on the water, the autumn water flows, she smiles, and her gestures are beautiful.
The voice of "Du Liniang" is sweet and mellow, better than the yellow warbler out of the valley, like a big bead and a small bead falling on a jade plate. "She" sings tactfully and charmingly, and has a unique charm of fragrance and elegance.
β...... Like this, they are all paid with broken wells and decaying walls, and the beautiful scenery of the good day is not a day, so I will enjoy the joy of who's yard ......" when singing the word "who" of this sentence, "Du Liniang" slowly turned around, when "her" body turned back, there was already a plate of big longevity peach buns made of wheat flour in his hand, and the big shou peach buns were surrounded by some small peaches made of wheat flour, implying a hundred sons and thousands of grandchildren.
It's a fusion of drama and magic. Everyone was surprised and delighted, and cheered in unison.
"Du Liniang" looked unchanged, and after singing "Chaofei Twilight Roll, Yunxia Cuixuan, Rain Silk Wind Piece, Smoke Wave Painting Boat, Jinping People Look at this Shaoguang Cheap!" While walking in front of Long Xi, bending down slightly, he raised the longevity peach bag to his eyebrows with both hands, which is the meaning of offering the longevity peach bag.
Long Xi smiled and took the peach bag.
"Du Liniang" shook her sleeves and read in a subdued rhyme: "I wish Longxi Xiaoshou every year today, and every year has today." β
Applause and cheers came and went.
"Du Liniang" shook her sleeves and left the stage with accompaniment.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Mo Kun stood up with a smile and said: "Such a good day, as the fiancΓ© of the little birthday star, I want to dedicate a poem, wishing the little birthday star a happy life like the East China Sea and a longevity better than Nanshan." β
"Okay, I'll hear you. See if you can spit out ivory from your dog's mouth?" Long Xi said with a mischievous smile.
I only heard Mo Kun say slowly: "The girl is not a human ......"
When all the guests heard this, they were very surprised and looked at each other.
Grandma couldn't help but change her face, what's wrong with Kun'er?
And Long Xi looked at Lord Mokun with interest.
Mo Kun smiled slightly, and changed his words: "...... The Nine Heavens Xuannu descended to the earth. Skillfully stealing the queen mother's peach fruit, the birthday banquet is now dedicated to the honored guests. β
Oh, I see.
Xiaolu clapped his hands and said with a meaningful smile: "It turns out that Brother Kun is not only a scientist, but also a genius, extraordinary, extraordinary." Little brother, I'm willing to bow down!"
Mo Kun smiled and said, "The deer has won the prize." β
Long Xi playfully threw a wink at Brother Kun, meaning to say, "Thank you." β
The two looked at each other and smiled.
When the guests listened to Kunqu opera just now, they ate a little preserved fruit and preserves.
