Chapter 14: Blossom Viewing Festival (Epilogue)
Not far away, there was a faint sound of tactful and melodious music, and then closer, the music was clearer, and the instrument playing the music could be vaguely distinguished.
…… I walked away with wine, but I saw a peach blossom pressing a short wall, the green willow hanging low and rippling with the wind, the fine dust did not look like a fairy town, the small jasper looked like a flower, the peach blossom on the human face was not bad, the human face was like a flower, the pen was difficult to draw, the flower was beautiful and the jade was flawless, and a feeling was pressed for the time being, and the Ming Dynasty was going to go to her house......
Su Jiuling and Mu Chen quickened their pace, and their ears continued to hear beautiful, relaxed and smooth, profoundly moving, and tactful and melodious singing.
Mu Tongtong saw that the two were going to leave her like they were going to leave her during the day, so they hurriedly lifted their skirts and chased after her, Liu Qianqian saw this and laughed at her, but she didn't see her come forward to chase her, Mu Xiangqian watched her daughter run up on the street regardless of the image of the girl's family, her brows wrinkled unconsciously, Liu Qianqian hurriedly went to appease Mu Xiangqian, for fear that he would have a bad impression of her daughter because of this, or go back to punish her.
After a few sweet words, the curtain elephant's tightly knit brows also relaxed a little.
When the three of them walked to the end of Wazi Street together, they saw a personable student standing on the stage not far away.
Xiaosheng is dressed in aqua green pleats, wearing a Wensheng scarf on his head, and holding a folding fan in his hand, the fan is inscribed with poems on one side and painted with paintings on the other.
At this time, the front of the stage was already full of people, and every audience present listened to the beautiful singing, and Su Jiuling and the three of them stood behind the crowd and enjoyed this opera with other audiences.
The handsome little student on the stage sang at this time: "The face is like a peach blossom, the lips are red and the teeth are white, no less than the beautiful Chang'e in the moon." I was drunk and thirsty, and I once begged my eldest sister for water to drink......"
Mu Tongtong, who was standing on Su Jiuling's side, looked at Xiaosheng on the stage for a while, looked up at Su Jiuling's handsome side face for a while, and looked at the folding fan he had always held in his hand for a while. ”
Mu Chen turned his head, first glanced at Mu Tongtong casually, and then looked at the stage and said, "Don't talk nonsense, how can you compare the drama with Brother Su together." ”
Mu Tongtong stared at Mu Chen for a moment, and then suddenly realized, after realizing that her words were out of shape, she hurriedly explained: "Brother Su, Tongtong doesn't mean anything else, don't think about it." ”
Su Jiuling just smiled faintly and said, "It's not in the way." ”
After speaking, he continued to look at the performance in front of the stage and said no more. Mu Tongtong also wanted to take the opportunity to say a few more words to him, but seeing Su Jiuling's attitude of rejecting others, he was a little reluctant to give up.
When the curtain Xiangqian and Liu Qianqian arrived, it was when Xiaosheng sang to the emotional place, I saw him holding a pen in both hands, splashing ink, and singing while writing: "Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the human face were red. The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. ”
There was silence in the audience, and then thunderous cheers; This opera performance of "Peach Blossom with a Human Face" has come to an end for the time being.
Seeing the end, but I don't know what the final ending of the hero and heroine is, it really makes Mu Tongtong a little dissatisfied, and her heart is like countless ants gnawing at her at this time, which makes her itch unbearably.
"Brother Su, what is the ending of the story?" Mu Tongtong mustered up his courage, looked up at Su Jiuling, and asked, when Su Jiuling lowered his head and looked at her, Mu Tongtong's heart collided like a deer, and his pretty face was flushed.
Su Jiuling said lightly: "After Miss Du came back from her father's spring outing, she saw the poem inscribed on the door frame, and she regretted that she went out to play today, and then she became ill and died of hunger strike......
When Mu Tongtong heard this, his heart was sad.
Su Jiuling continued: "A few days later, Cui Hu came to knock on the door again, and after learning of Miss Du's death, he hugged Miss Du's body and cried, but Miss Du came back to life, and later the two became husband and wife. ”
Hearing this, Mu Tongtong jumped up happily like a child, she was about to cheer a few times, but when she saw her father's slightly gloomy face, she was immediately silent like a well-behaved and obedient child.
Mu Tongtong knows very well that her father is an extremely face-loving character, if she is at home, there are no outsiders, she can make trouble as much as she wants, and her father will not reprimand her, but as long as there are outsiders in front of her, she must be well-behaved and obedient.
And Mu Tongtong was happy for the perfect ending of the story just now, and on the other hand, he was excited because this was the first time he had talked to her since he met Su Jiuling, so he got carried away and forgot his father's teachings on weekdays.
The group walked towards the east side of the arch bridge, and at this time they remembered another melodious and beautiful opera behind them.
The first house on the west side of the bridge, looking from north to south, is full of red lanterns, and the lanterns are burning with dim candlelight, and the red lantern shell is very warm and beautiful.
Under the candlelight is a potted plant of similar size.
Mu Tongtong looked at the scene in front of him and exclaimed: "It's so beautiful, it seems to be a fairyland on earth." ”
In the whole event venue, not only the shops on both sides of Wazi Street are hung with red lanterns, but even all the houses on both sides of the bridge are also hung with festive red lanterns, which seems to be more lively than during the New Year.
The arched bridge was full of pedestrians, or groups of three or five, or standing alone, they all looked at the beautiful river lamps floating on the river surface, and then a familiar voice sounded on the arch bridge.
Liu Qianqian stood on the arched bridge and looked around, and finally, saw a familiar figure in the west of the bridge, that person was the eldest lady of the shogunate-Hanasato, she cast her eyes on a woman next to Hanasato, the woman's face was covered with a veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but from the woman's eyebrows, between her gestures, and the temperament of a mature woman exuding from her body, she had already guessed who the person was.
As she headed west towards the bridge, she shouted happily, "Sister." ”
Hanazhili had expected to meet them here, but she didn't expect it to be so soon, she frowned unabashedly, Mu Jieqin on the side looked at the person, her face was panicked, she hurriedly looked at her mother who frowned slightly, only to hear the latter say, "Keep calm!" ”
Mu Jieqin looked at her mother's cold face and nodded lightly.
"Sister, if you also like to watch this flower viewing conference, why don't you come out with us, we are all a family, why do you have to come here twice, let people see it and laugh at us." After speaking, he seemed to have no intention of doing so, and said in surprise: "Isn't this - Jieqin?" ”
Mu Jieqin stubbornly said: "Erniang." ”
"It's really a clean piano!" Liu Qianqian said with a smile, and then looked at the curtain elephant who was standing behind her at some point and said, "Master, my sister and Jieqin are also here to enjoy this flower appreciation meeting." ”
Mu Jieqin looked at Mu Xiangqian on the steps, and she said slightly, "Daddy." ”
"What kind of system, a girl who is about to get married is still showing up everywhere, how do you be a mother!" Mu Xiangqian lowered his voice and said angrily.
The corners of Liu Qianqian's mouth raised a faint smile, and she hurriedly stepped forward to appease Mu Xiangqian and said: "Master, don't be angry, my sister definitely didn't mean to do this, although Jieqin is about to get married, isn't it still a month, it's still early; Besides, isn't Jieqin also covered with a veil, no one will recognize it. ”
As soon as Mu Chen heard Liu Qianqian's seemingly fire-lowering style but actually fanning the flames, he felt disgusted in his heart, and he said: "Dad, I forced my mother and sister to come out, I thought that if I missed this beautiful scenery, I don't know when I would see them again, so I insisted that they come over; Moreover, the relationship between my mother and my sister has always been very good, and one of the two is indispensable, although my sister is about to get married, but it is also a month later, and the impact on the reputation of the shogunate is limited, as long as a few of us don't say it, no one will know. ”
"Master, Jieqin and Tongtong are both your daughters, although Jieqin is about to get married, but she has not yet married, she is still a girl who has been brought out of the pavilion, and Tongtong is about to talk about marriage, naturally she is also a girl to be out of the pavilion, since she is also a girl to be out of the cabinet, and she is also your daughter, why should the lord have such a big prejudice?" Hanasato looked at Mu Xiangqian's somewhat obscene eyes fearlessly, and Mu Jieqin carefully pulled Hanasato's sleeve down, signaling her not to conflict with her father.
Mu Xiangqian stopped talking, flicked his sleeves, and walked back to the road.
Seeing this, Liu Qianqian hurriedly followed, and when she was about to cross the flower, she glared at her fiercely, and then said, "Tongtong, we should go back." ”
Mu Tongtong looked at Su Jiuling again, and saw that he was looking at the water, but did not look at her, she anxiously stomped her feet on the spot, but she did not dare to disobey her mother, so she could only follow forward angrily, when she crossed the flower and Mu Jieqin, she glared at the backs of the two of them dissatisfied, if it weren't for the appearance of the two of them, she would have found a chance to chat with Brother Su by now.
After seeing that everyone was leaving, Mu Chen said: "Mother, you too, why do you want to bring your sister out at this time, if it is spread out, won't your sister be pointed at behind her back in Yang Mansion." ”
"Why not, we just came out to hang out, and we also wore a veil over our faces, and we didn't do anything embarrassing, why should we be pointed at." Hanato Road.
Muchen sighed and said, "Forget it, let's go back." ”
Seeing today's situation, think about Liu Qianqian's addition of oil and vinegar to her father, after going back, Mu Xiangqian will definitely be furious, and the more Mu Chen thinks about it, the more he feels a headache.
The group left, and the bridge was still lively, unaffected by the slightest influence.
Su Jiuling raised his head and looked at the countless shining lanterns in the night sky, and his heart was peaceful.
"Wow~ It's beautiful." A familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and Su Jiuling suddenly turned his head to look at the side, sure enough, it was the girl with the basket he met this morning.
Su Jiuling wondered: Why did a subordinate from the mansion appear in the bustling night market at night?
Hongyao noticed that there was a gaze staring at her, and when she turned her head, she saw a slightly surprised, slightly arrogant face that was later discovered, pretending not to see her unfamiliar face.
