Chapter 24: Tears in the Song, Love in the Dance

After writing, I folded the letter, found the envelope and handed it to the fourth master, who properly put it into his arms. I poured myself a cup of tea, took a sip, and asked him, "How is Hongyun?" ”

"It's much better, and I also have a 'spirit'." No wonder he was in a good mood, and it was also one of the reasons why he wanted to come to Hiroshi's health improved, but when I thought of Hiroshi's ending, I felt a little sad in my heart, why is there always such a thing? You finally saw hope, but it was shattered......

On the sixth day of the seventh month, I was talking to the Queen Mother in Songhe Qingyue, when Kangxi suddenly came. After sitting down, he said to the Queen Mother: "Huang Eniang, my son is thinking about holding a song and dance to relieve the boredom of Huang Eniang, okay?" ”

The Queen Mother nodded and smiled: "Okay, good!" It's good that the emperor decides! Taking this opportunity, I can invite all the ancient princes of Mongolia and the accompanying ministers to have a good time! After Kangxi Ye responded, the Queen Mother said to me again: "'Jade' Bing, the mourning family listened to them and said that you sang well, and you have to sing a few songs for the imperial grandmother when the time comes!" ”

"Imperial grandmother, where will 'jade' ice sing any song, won't it be a shame for the imperial grandmother when the time comes!"

"Hey!" The Queen Mother turned her face and blamed me: "What did you say!" Mourning family's 'jade' ice, who dares to say that you are ashamed! It's so decided, 'Jade' Bing will sing three songs that day! "At this point, I have no choice but to respond. But what to sing, I was in a dilemma. Usually I can think of anything when I'm humming, but when it comes to this, I don't know what to sing.

Oops, oops! Headache to death! "Funeral 'Flower' and 'Groan'"? No, no, no! Cao Xueqin hasn't written it yet! "I wish people a long time"? It seems too deserted. Are there any old-fashioned songs, but not too sad? "Love the country and love the beauty more"? Is it appropriate? What else?

"Laughing Red Dust"? Yes, "Laughing Red Dust" is very good, and "The Two Forget Each Other" is also very good. So decided, sing another song on the prairie, what to sing?

"Prairie Love", when I was young, my mother always sang. Mom, I miss you so much. I decided to work with the musicians again to see what instruments were used to accompany the music. "Prairie Love" is relatively simple, and it is the most suitable to use the horse-head piano, but what about "The Two Forget Each Other" and "Laughing Red Dust"?

After a whole day of deliberation and attempts, it was finally decided that "The Two Forgot Each Other" used pipa and transverse flute, while "Laughing Hongchen" used pipa, guzheng and transverse flute with Xun to accompaniment.

On the day of the banquet, I changed into a silver-white 'colored' 'Meng' robe, and let Lan Yue coil up the upper part of my hair for me, and the lower half of my hair was draped like this, and put on the whole set of red coral jewelry that the Queen Mother had given during the Chinese New Year - including forehead ornaments, earrings, necklaces, bracelets and rings. I applied a light amount of fat powder, looked at myself in the mirror, and couldn't help but think that when I was a child, I changed into 'Mongolian' ancient robes for dancing during performances. My mom always dressed me up beautifully, and she liked to draw a little 'flower' on my eyebrows with a 'lip' pen. It's like the ancient 'girl' sticking to the 'flower'.

I sat in the center of the field, with the accompanying musician behind me, my guzheng in front of me, and the throne of Kangxi and the Queen Mother.

I started and played the prelude to "Two Forget Each Other", and the sound of the transverse flute sounded, and I sang: "A smiling 'flower', think about the change of the world, in the end, it doesn't matter if you win or lose." The sun and the moon grow and disappear each other, the rich and the expensive are difficult to grow for a long time, and this morning's face is older than last night. Put a word wide between the eyebrows, look at a piece of the scenery of the world, who is not the joy and sorrow in the taste. Hailiantian can't finish walking, grievances are difficult to calculate, yesterday is not today, and you should forget. The 'waves' are surging and insignificant, and the green 'spring' birds fly away, even if they are shaking in the 'waves' of the eternal romance. The wind is dashing and the people are insignificant, the grass in the mountains is happy, and the taste of love and hate floats with the wind.

Put a word wide between the eyebrows, look at a piece of the scenery of the world, who is not the joy and sorrow in the taste. Hailiantian can't finish walking, grievances are difficult to calculate, yesterday is not today, and you should forget. The "waves" are surging and insignificant, and the green "spring" birds fly away, even if it is the eternal "waves" shaking in the waves. The wind is dashing and the people are insignificant, the grass in the mountains is happy, and the taste of love and hate floats with the wind. Put a word wide between the eyebrows, look at a piece of the scenery of the world, who is not the joy and sorrow in the taste. Hailiantian can't finish walking, grievances are difficult to calculate, yesterday is not today, and you should forget. ”

I sang it, thinking to myself, which of these songs is not the truth, but does it matter if you win or lose? No, the price that no one can afford to pay is the price that no one can afford to lose. Yesterday was not, today should be forgotten? Can you forget? If you want to forget, who will make you forget?

I paused for a while, and continued to play "Laughing Red Dust", this is my favorite song, the kind of free and cheerful in the lyrics, is what I have been pursuing, I just want to be happy until I am old, but if I want to be happy until I am old, I can't turn a blind eye to the storm at this time, I can't escape, I want to rush over, rush through this wind and rain, I can have a chance to be free again.

After I finished singing "Laughing Hongchen", I stopped, let people hold the piano down, I posed, the pianist played the horse-head qin, I listened to this tune, and I actually cried.

I didn't care about the tears on my face, and while dancing the dance that I had danced countless times, I sang: "The grassland, my lovely hometown, the cradle of life on horseback." You nurse me with holy milk, you hypnotize me with your deep singing. The sun-like bonfire gave me infinite warmth. The white cloud-like fluffy 'hair' resisted how much wind and cold I withdrew. Everywhere I went, I could hear the matouqin singing. No matter how far away I am from you, I can always smell the sweetness of 'milk' tea. The pasture is the source of my wisdom, the stirrup is the starting point of life. Thou hast taught me with glittering aphorisms, and thou hast tempered me with fierce storms. Those quicksand years have given me the diligence of a shepherd. That thorny journey, feeding the bravery of my riders. Wherever I go, I can always see you looking up. No matter how long I leave you, I will never forget your good wishes. ”

I sang and swirled, my arms up and down, as my mother had taught me when I was a child, and my skirt turned into an upside-down lily 'flower'. When I stopped, I saw that there were tears in the eyes of the Queen Mother.

She clapped her hands: "Good! Good! Good! The horse head qin is singing, the white cloud-like fluffy 'hair' ...... 'jade' ice, you sing well! Sing to the heart of the mourning family! Come, good boy, come to Grandmother! I walked up to her according to my words, she took my hand and sat down, and said to Kangxiye: "Emperor, 'Jade' Bing'er sings this song well, what do you say is good?" ”

Kangxi Ye smiled and said, "The emperor said, what do you say is a reward?" ”
