Chapter 47: Drumming and Passing Flowers
Today's Xie Qingyu was wearing a purple Yunying Liuxian skirt made by Liu Yuehan, wearing a moon-white thin smoke veil, Qianqiu also put on makeup for her today, and when she was on the way to Qingyue Pavilion, all the servants who were busy were a little surprised when they saw her, and they stopped and discussed.
"I don't know which lady came to the meeting today?"
"I've never seen such a beautiful lady before."
"I guess it's the first time I arrived in Jiangning."
……
Xie Qingyu was busy admiring this beautiful scenery, and he didn't care about the eyes of the people around him.
She is getting closer and closer to the Qingyue Pavilion, and the light of the Night Pearl is even more dazzling, she has seen the Night Pearl from TV series before, but she has never seen it in real life.
I don't know who will buy the poems she wrote today, but she wants to see whose customers are the sons and ladies.
Look at the lake again, there are still a few flat boats on the lake, many boats are parked on the lake, there seem to be people drinking and dancing on it, there are many famous prostitutes painting boats, for a time the joy of silk and bamboo is in the middle of this Jianhu Lake reverberating endlessly.
She suddenly found that this Qingyue Pavilion was not directly built in the middle of this Jianhu Lake, but there were many round pillars under the tall buildings of Qingyue Pavilion, and Qingyue Pavilion was a high pavilion located on top of these stone pillars.
Qingyue Pavilion has a total of three floors, from the outside it is a dark red building, and the first floor of the pavilion of the vermilion lacquer wooden door above the hanging with black gold silk Nanmu plaque, only to see that it is written on the three big characters Qingyue Pavilion, this meaning also looks very free and elegant.
Outside the first floor is a square corridor, the water of Jianhu Lake seems to be stepping on the feet, but a meter away, there are lanterns hanging in each place, a total of only four small corners but there are eight lanterns, and as soon as it is close to the Qingyue Pavilion, there has always been a fragrance of sandalwood on the tip of the nose has been surrounding.
The difference between the second floor and the first floor is that the attic on the second floor is slightly narrower, but the appearance is more exquisite than the first floor, although they are all red sandalwood, but the hanging lanterns are different, the two floors are hung at the four corners of the four lanterns in the middle, the color is different from the first floor, the first floor is painted with a lantern made of crimson rice paper, and the second layer is a lantern made of pink rice paper, the third layer is even more different, only a lamp is hung in the corner of the roof, This lamp is a small lamp with a round skeleton made of white rice paper, and under this moonlight, it is even more extraordinary.
This gate is also very exquisite, are made of solid wood finely carved, although there is no carving of any complex patterns, but it is better than simple, the words of Qingyue Pavilion are really worthy of the name.
After entering, the first thing to enter is that there is a thin rope hanging on the top of the middle of this pavilion, and the things placed on it are the night pearl of the East China Sea.
The pavilion is hollow, the moonlight through the exit above is just sprinkled on the open space of the pavilion, making the night pearl more transparent, although the season is early autumn, but the weather is still very hot, the window in this building is open, from time to time there is a breeze on the lake surface blowing over, it is very comfortable.
As soon as Xie Qingyu entered the door, the pavilion was already full of people, drinking and dancing was fun, this position was no different from the last Qixi Lantern Festival, it was still the men's seat on the left side, and the women's dependents were on the right.
Seinfeld saw Xie Qingyu at a glance, and the two looked at each other, both understanding each other's thoughts.
As soon as she raised her feet, she was brought to her seat by the maid who had been ordered by Seinfeld and waited for her to sit down.
Qianqiu stood silently behind Xie Qingyu and didn't say a word.
Just when Xie Qingyu wanted to sit down and take a good look at the decoration in this Qingyue Pavilion, at this moment!
"Ladies and gentlemen, taking advantage of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the old man also specially invited you to this Qingyue Pavilion to share the joy of reunion in this world. A sonorous voice came.
Xie Qingyu glanced at the main seat at this time, and saw that the person on the seat was dressed in a dark gray costume, although he looked plain, but this material did not look like ordinary material, but more like a ready-to-wear made of snow.
And just after listening to the voice, he is already full of energy, and his body is also very tall, although he is nearly half a hundred years old, this face can't be seen at all, although there are white silk on the temples, but the person is very spiritual, although a pair of eyes are smiling, but the battle-hardened killing decisiveness is still mixed in it, and it is extremely powerful and makes people dare not look directly at it.
Presumably this is Seinfeld's father Song Xiuping, as expected, he is a cavalry general, and his temperament is extremely bold, which makes people feel convinced.
"Thank you, General Song, for the invitation."
"It's really an honor to come to this Qingyue Pavilion."
……
The flattery at the bottom is endless, and people keep coming to toast Song Xiuping.
When Xie Qingyu was looking at Song Xiuping, he also found a lot of acquaintances in this Qingyue Pavilion.
Right in front of her sat An Yueru, who had just entered the school that day, An Yueru hadn't noticed her at this time, just because Xie Qingyu was sitting very far back, sitting in a corner of the second row of the crowd.
And that Xie Youran and Xie Youruo were also sitting in the forefront of the female dependents at the moment, Seinfeld happened to be sitting next to them, and Lin Xiaoxue was sitting next to Xie Youruo.
On the other hand, there are many people on the men's seat that he doesn't know, but there are two familiar figures on the front side, which attracted Xie Qingyu's attention.
The two of them were busy drinking at the moment, and suddenly Pei Yu seemed to notice something, raised his head and looked around, while Xie Qingyu quickly lowered his head.
Today's Pei Yu is wearing a dark narrow-sleeved robe, the cuffs are inlaid with embroidered gold thread auspicious clouds, the scarlet and white jade belt around his waist, and the white jade exquisite waist is hung on it.
Song Xiuping didn't stay long here, so he said goodbye to everyone on the grounds that he was busy with military affairs, leaving only the general's wife to preside over the overall situation.
In fact, there is no overall situation to preside, everyone is playing their own.
Xie Qingyu also ate the delicacies in front of him leisurely, and stuffed a piece of Qianqiu from time to time.
Everyone also spent time drinking and chatting, and the maiko in the middle of the attic had already performed a dance, and everyone was also quite interested, and there was a peaceful atmosphere in the pavilion.
Xie Qingyu also watched with relish, this ancient dance is really much more beautiful than the modern dance, with long dance sleeves, with a gradient of pale pink silk dance clothes, up and down, and there is a skill that can directly jump up along the dance sleeves in his hand, like a fairy in the world.
I have to say that Seinfeld's location is very well arranged, and he can not be discovered, and he can enjoy singing and dancing with peace of mind, which is really wonderful.
It wasn't until the leading dancing girl leaped that Xie Qingyu secretly said that this dancing girl wouldn't be Hanging Weiya.
Suddenly, thinking that this is ancient times, how can there be such a thing, Xie Qingyu shook his head again, and sighed that he was stupid.
At this time, one of the people in the crowd stood up and said straight.
"It just so happens that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is the time of the full moon reunion, so it is not very interesting to drink and eat like this, and this kind of drumming and passing flowers is popular in the city recently, why don't we come and play it?" The person who spoke was Cui Wenyi, who had the name of Jiangning's genius, and he suggested composing poetry last time, but I didn't expect to meet him again at this Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet.
Today's Cui Wenyi is also dressed as a Confucian student, without too much superfluous costume decoration, but a little more bookish, looking very elegant.
"Drumming and passing flowers? Yes. ”
"That's right, this game has been extremely popular in Jiangning recently."
……
"And games like this? Yuruo also wants to have a good time. Xie Youruo also spoke up at the moment, she knew how this game was played, but in front of Yun Jinyu, she also pretended not to know.
Today's Xie Youruo can be said to be dressed up to attend, wearing a white mopping smoke cage plum blossom water skirt, holding a few silver phoenix flower hairpins on the Lingyun bun, and two silver butterflies hanging next to his ears, with a little powder, his face is as charming as the moon, his eyes are shining, and he is sultry.
Xie Youruo thought that she was robbed of the limelight by that Xie light rumor last time, but this time she was fully prepared to perform well in front of Yun Gongzi.
As soon as Xie Youruo spoke out at this moment, the eyes of the sons of the whole family were fixed on her alone, which made Xie Youruo very proud.
"This idea is also fresh, just follow what Cui Gongzi said." Now the person sitting on the main seat is no longer Song Xiuping, but Song Xiuping's wife Lu, who has long been replaced.
Although Lu is not young anymore, he is very well maintained, his skin is still very delicate, and his face looks very kind.
Originally, the young people who came to this banquet accounted for the majority, and she didn't know what games were being played in the city recently, so she had to follow the thoughts of these young people.
"That being the case, then the flowers will be passed from below, and when the drums stop, whoever the flowers are will be punished, and if the female family performs their talents, if they are men, they can recite poems against them." Cui Wenyi had already instructed the scholar next to him to pick flowers, and now this small bouquet of osmanthus flowers happened to be in Cui Wenyi's hands.
directly passed the osmanthus in his hand to the next person, and the drummer next to him was already in place.
Knock knock, drums up!
The osmanthus spread quickly, and there were a lot of jokes for a while, and some people deliberately held the osmanthus in their hands for a while, and then passed it on.
With the last bang, the drum was heard, and the osmanthus fell on a son that Xie Qingyu had never seen.
The boy got up directly and wrote a poem, roughly saying that the moon was beautiful, and she didn't hear the rumors that were too noisy around, but she could now conclude that this person was not her buyer.
Then the osmanthus kept spreading, some sons got up to compose poems, and some young ladies came out to dance, but they were not very outstanding.
At this time, the osmanthus fell on An Yueru's seat, who was sitting in front of Xie Qingyu.
