Chapter 19: The Legend of the Hosta
The embroidery under the lamp needs to be concentrated, and the white crane gave birth to a clump of tail feathers, and the person who embroidered the crane was caught off guard and heard a crisp plucking sound. As soon as she raised her head, Shen Yuan on the other side had already opened her mouth.
"The moon is bright and the clouds are faintly revealed, leaning on the pillow and listening to the four walls, hurting the autumn Song Yufu west wind. Falling leaves frighten dreams, and the number of idle walks and dusts fall red......"
The cold fragrant Oiran holds the phoenix-necked pipa, the onion and white knuckles are as thin as new porcelain, turning and plucking, the singing voice is mellow and mellow, just like the murmuring of the mountain spring, and the singing is a "Hosta Ji Qin Pick". Scarlet Moon knew this song, and she knew the difference between her young lady's singing.
Come on, it's lively inside and out...... She couldn't spare her energy for a moment, so she simply stopped what she was doing, and raised her elbow on the edge of the table to listen.
Playing the pipa at night and singing in a low voice is still a strange thing that has never been seen in this room, let alone such a disliked song. Scarlet Moon couldn't figure out her own young lady's thoughts, but it was obvious that Zuo was just caused by the top lady outside.
The maid has been following the master for a long time, and many times she understands each other's minds without words. The corners of the table were quite hard, Scarlet Moon straightened her back, rubbed her sore elbows, silently remembered the relationship between this song and them, and secretly said Fortunately, there was also a song singing outside, and no one would pay attention to the movement here.
"The Story of the Jade Hairpin" is an old song, which tells the story of the first scholar and the aunt who don't know which dynasty and which generation. It is said that the Hu people invaded the south in a certain year, and the girl surnamed Chen, Jiaolian, ran away and was separated, and by chance she entered the privet concept as a Taoist aunt, and took the legal name called Miaochang. At that time, Miao was twenty-eight years old, young and beautiful, and talented and outstanding. There is a Linjiang order named Zhang Yuhu, one day by mistake in the privet view, occasionally see Miao Chang, want to get close, so to pick it with words, Miao often also refuses to words. There is also a rogue prince, and Miao Chang is even more disdainful.
The master of the view has a nephew named Pan Bicheng, who will try to fall into the first, ashamed to return to his hometown, so he has to temporarily live in the view, and he has come and gone to get acquainted with Miao Chang. Pan Bizheng saw the beauty of Daogu and fell in love. And that Miao Chang is also a merciful person, breaking the rules and precepts, picking tea and piano with the two of them, stealing poems and private meetings, and finally doing good things.
Once the incident happened, the viewer was shocked, severely reprimanded Pan Bizheng, and forced him to leave early to take the exam, but Bizheng had to take a boat to leave. Miao Chang Dao Gu didn't dare to send it face to face, and privately hired a boat to catch up, giving Bizheng a hosta for love, and Bizheng also gave back the mandarin duck Pei, and the two lovers cried goodbye.
After waiting for that Pan Bizheng to go all the way to the capital, he will take the first place in the examination, become a big official, return to his hometown in the scenery, and return to the privet view. Miao Chang was still there, so he was picked up by Zhuang Yuanlang, and after all the twists and turns, he became a big gift in Zhang Erniang's hut, worshiped heaven and earth, and finally became a husband and wife for a lifetime.
The story is a good story, from Qifeng to Mojing, everyone knows it, no one knows it, and the teahouse restaurant has a comment. Talented people and beauties are originally the topics that the world likes to see after dinner, not to mention that Miao often entered the door, but refused to follow the rules, just for an amorous gentleman, breaking the etiquette law in life, and first attracted several people to linger for it, which is really a collection of shocking people.
“…… The shadow of the pink wall is heavy, the curtain is wrapped in the wind of the lotus water hall, playing the piano and hugging the moonlight, the incense is golden, and the people are in the first palace of Penglai...... Who's night moon piano three lanes, counting the love songs that have not ended......"
This song is about the Taoist aunt and the scholar using the piano to convey their love and complain privately. When he was in Qifeng, Mo Yuan led Shen Yuan to the teahouse to listen to the music, and Scarlet Yue also listened to it, and once heard the female ancestor play and sing a song "The Story of the Jade Hairpin", which was called a lingering and sympathetic, nephrite jade was fragrant, and it made the human bones crisp and soft-hearted, as if in the play. When the little lady of Moyu's house opened her voice, it was a completely different taste, her voice was crisp and neat, more like a mockery of music, but it was also addictive.
Scarlet Moon smacked her tongue secretly, and when her young lady began to read the thick book of "Zhou Yi", things were even more out of control. It's okay not to say it, when it comes to the story of this debut aunt scholar, Shen Yuan will not have a good face, so he has to scold the two of them for being shameless-"It should be that Chen Jiaolian died on the road, and was taken in and relieved by others, and in turn scolded others for destroying human nature and not knowing love, such a wolf-hearted thing cannot be tolerated in the world." ”
And for the infatuated scholar who was able to embrace the beauty after many hardships, the Shen family's girl also had a sharp opinion: "A good Kun Dao, even if he is not in his heart, it will not be the turn of an outsider to tease." Knowing that he can't do it, if he causes trouble, he will only be ridiculed for a few words, and he will just leave with his clothes brushed away, who will remember it in three or five years? The bitter ones are all daughters' families. landed in the first place, didn't want to be studious and enterprising, but had the leisure to seduce Daogu Sifan, it can be seen that this so-called talent is not a good thing. ”
“…… Long and short, that person is away from hatred! Yun Xin and Shuixin, what is the leisure and depression? Once spring came, a flower faded, how did I have marks on my eyebrows. Cloud Cover Chaimen...... Long and short, who commented? Afraid of who to comment! ”
When the two of them sang to each other's deep affection, mocking the world, the cold fragrance of the Oiran looked like a smile but not a smile, raised the corners of the lips and eyebrows, deliberately raised the tone, biting the words clearly, and pronounced the mountain alliance and sea oath as irony, spit out word by word like a knife, and nailed it firmly to the tip of people's hearts. The sound of the pipa is loud, making people suspect that the strings are about to break. The most comfortable thing in the whole room is probably only "Zhou Yi" spread out on the side table.
Such a completely different "The Story of the Jade Hairpin", Scarlet Moon has heard it since she was a child, and she has long been used to it. While listening to Shen Yuan singing, she counted the time, and quietly made tea to moisten her throat.
“…… Looking at the bright moon in the court, who do you have something to talk to? Pomegranate flowers dissolve acacia, petals fly red blood! ”
The tune that changed the tune finally ended, and the fingertips of the cold fragrance Oiran were already red, and a pair of amber peach blossom eyes were undiminished. She can't hold back her temperament, singing songs that mock others, and her heart feels like she is squeezing herself.
The phoenix-necked red sandalwood pipa was hung back up, and when she sat down again, Scarlet Moon served tea in time, and the slightly bitter taste slipped into her throat. A warm cup of orchid tea was gone, and Shen Yuan's mood was also smooth, so he put down the tea cup and shook his head.
"Since ancient times, scholars have to study, Taoist aunts have to practice, dramas have to make a living, and the emperors and generals have all been responsible for one side of the world, where is there so much love and love? It can be seen that the scripts are all bluffing, and they can't see the good of others, so they only smear people. ”
Scarlet Moon picked up the embroidery again and said with a smile: "Yes, so, we don't want to think about it." After singing for a while, my throat should hurt. Sleep after tea, right? ”
"Don't." Shen Yuan rubbed his fingers and rejected the maid's proposal, "I'm patronizing the show, I haven't finished reading today's book." Just laughed at Chen Daogu, who didn't know how to check, and forgot that he was not really obedient, but he became cynical first. ”
