Chapter 112: The Ballad of the Clouds
The reel plucked the strings three or two times, gently and slowly wiped and re-picked, playing a low and desolate tune.
I heard Pan Gongzi next to him praise in a low voice: "What a song Zhaojun is out of the stopper!" ”
This girl is extremely accomplished in pipa, and a depressed and mournful Zhaojun is out of the stopper, and even I, a layman, can hear a deep sadness and sadness.
After the song, the applause was overwhelming.
I listened to the familiar gentleman next to me sighing, "It is said that the girl Fanghua is sixteen, and she has not yet combed the cage, which man can get such a wonderful person, and he will be blessed in this life." ”
I was a little grateful for this gentleman's enthusiasm, but after listening to him express this "beautiful vision", I secretly glanced at him.
Pan Gongzi shook his fan and smiled at the fat man: "Since ancient times, beauties have admired talents, and talented people are worthy of beauties." The second brother has outstanding appearance and talent, why not bring this talented Yunyu girl back, and there will be many happy things in the future? ”
The fat man laughed and said: "Big brother said that I laughed, although I already have a wife, I am a dedicated person in my bones." As he spoke, he also had a joking mind, and touched Qin Lang, who was sitting beside him, "The third brother is also not too young, and he shouldn't delay a lifelong event." This cloud girl, do you still agree? ”
I coincidentally choked on the orange in my mouth, and peeked at Qin Lang in a hurry, but saw that his hand holding a purple bamboo Changxiao stiffened, and the roots of his ears turned crimson unnaturally, and he laughed dryly and said, "Brother is joking." ”
I tossed the orange back into the plate, thinking to myself that this thing was too sour.
I thought that this female artist with a good posture would at least come out and show her true face, and she didn't want to finish the song, but it was Miaoyin Pavilion's mommy who came on stage.
"All the dignitaries and nobles, the old man is here, Jiuniang, I am polite here!" This half-old worked hard to put on a smile on her face, which made me feel that the thick fat powder on her face was falling down, "As the saying goes, it's better to come early than to come by coincidence, today, everyone is a coincidence!" ”
She glanced back at the Yun Yu girl sitting gracefully in the sarong, and saw her bow slightly, "Today happens to be our Yun Yu girl's birthday, since you have caught up, let's hold a scene for the girl together." Our girl is clever enough to set up a shooting scene, please look up. ”
The whole house looked up in unison, but saw a red satin hydrangea tied to the beam of the room, and a colorful eight-treasure bag drooped from the hydrangea.
"Whoever can take off the Eight Treasures bag sewn by Miss Yunyu herself, guess the puzzle in it, and then he will win the jackpot, and the reward will be ......" She deliberately paused to sell, "My girl Yunyu is a guest in the boudoir today." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was full of discussions.
"It's rare to spend a hundred taels of silver on weekdays to see the true face of Miss Yunyu, but today's opportunity is really rare!"
"Having said that, this bag is hanging on a three-zhang high beam, and you and I have no wings, how can we fly?"
For a while, everyone raised their heads and pointed at the bag, but they were helpless, but someone had an idea, took off their shoes and threw them high, but they didn't throw the bag but smashed others' heads, attracting a shouting and abusive.
Seeing that the scene was about to be chaotic, the old bustard Jiuniang waved her handkerchief and saw the servant climbing onto the stage with a bundle of long bamboo poles.
"Distinguished guests, don't be in a hurry, Jiu Niang, I have prepared a guy for you to take advantage of. This shorter bamboo pole costs only ten taels of silver, and the longer one is a little more expensive. With a bamboo pole in hand, are you afraid that you won't see a beauty? ”
As soon as she said this, the audience was already rushing to buy bamboo poles.
I glanced at the self-cooked gentleman next to me, waving a silver ticket and shouting "Give me the longest", and sighed in my heart that this old bustard really knew how to do business.
Suddenly, I heard Pan Gongzi shaking his fan and sighing: "This Yunyu girl's one-handed pipa really lives up to her reputation, but after this trip, Yangzhou Qingqu still didn't listen." ”
The fat man smiled: "I heard that this girl has a good voice, and it is a pity not to listen." With that, Yun glanced at Qin Lang lightly.
Before I could react, the long figure of the Xuanyi beside me suddenly rose, the toes were a little on the railing, and the figure had already crossed the air like a swallow in the clouds, and then made a move on the beam of the house "The golden bell hung upside down", and the body leaned back like a bow, and the bag was firmly grasped in his hand.
Qin Lang grabbed the hydrangea hanging on the beam of the room and pulled it, the hydrangea suddenly spread out, turned into a red long silk, with a fluttering figure of Xuanyi, swept over everyone's heads, and Chunyan returned to the second floor like a forest.
The process of exploring and fetching things can be described as extremely elegant, and the audience was first surprised, and then cheered together.
Qin Lang, who showed off his unique skills, his expression was still cold, and he presented the bag to the fat man with both hands.
I couldn't help but cast an admiring look at Qin Lang, and curiously leaned over to look at the puzzle in the bag.
"Black is not, white is not, red and yellow are not; and foxes, wolves, cats and dogs, as if they were neither domestic animals nor wild animals.
There are poems, words, and Analects; The east, west, north and south are blurred, although it is a short product, it is also a wonderful article. ”
Listening to the fat man read the puzzle aloud, I was immediately confused: where is this, the riddles of the ancients are too casual.
The fat man pondered for a moment, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "The girl of the cloud rumor shows her wisdom and is delicate. The upper part of this riddle is "guess", and the lower link is "riddle", which together is the word "guess the riddle", I don't know if the answer is correct? ”
I sighed secretly: The fat man's IQ is really not covered.
Girl, I once visited the boudoir of Oiran Qingli at night, but I felt that compared with the current girl of Yunyu, it was obviously not a grade in terms of cultural accomplishment.
It's not so much the boudoir of the popular singer as the study of the son of the family, which is not tacky at all.
The four of us sat down, and a little maid held fragrant tea, saying that their girl was changing her clothes and was coming later.
"This cloud girl is indeed different from ordinary women." Pan Gongzi pointed to a painting on the wall and commented, "This Zhao Meng? 's "Autumn Suburb Drinking Horses", which is very exquisitely copied, shows that it has a lot of Danqing skills. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a warbler's voice from behind the screen: "Childe has good eyesight." ”
Fang just separated a layer of gauze curtain on the stage, and could only faintly look at his graceful figure, and now, this famous prostitute in Guangling really appeared in front of us with a pipa in her arms, which really made the eyes of everyone present shine.
She is just wearing a lake blue light sarla skirt, waist-length green silk with a simple tassel bun, and a hosta diagonally inserted. The skin is better than snow, the eyes are like a pool of clear water, and when looking forward to it, there is a beautiful and exquisite light temperament. But that cold arrogance and agility reveal the beauty of seduction, which makes people can't take their eyes off it when they see it.
I have also seen the famous Jinling City Oiran lady Qingli on the flower boat, and now I compare it, but I feel that although the green glass is beautiful, it can't catch up with the Yunyu girl's hollow valley orchid-like temperament.
"The slave family was originally the daughter of an official eunuch, but because her father was dismissed and exiled, her family was in the middle of the road, so she hated it and did not enter the teaching department, and became the chapter of the Israelite people."
As he spoke, Yun Yu's eyes drooped, and his long eyelashes trembled, bringing out a pitiful look, which was really pitiful to me.
Even I, a man dressed as a man, couldn't help but feel sad for her, not to mention the three real men here.
I saw that Pan Gongzi, who was the most empathetic, said: "The girl of Yunyu has a blue heart, not only is she outstanding in piano skills and good at danqing, but she is admired by many literati and scholars, so why should she be so arrogant." ”
Hearing this, Yun Yu smiled, "It is also an honor for Yun Yu to be able to play and sing a song for all elegant people." After that, a pair of wonderful eyes swept over the four of us in turn, but they seemed to inadvertently spin on Qin Lang's body, and chuckled: "Bai Sanye Xiao is not leaving, presumably not only is he excellent in martial arts but also good at music, but he is willing to enjoy the light and play a song with the cloud ballad?" ”
I was originally quite curious about Xiao in Qin Lang's hands, but I had never heard that he was still good at this, and when I heard Yun Yu say this, I twisted my neck to look at him.
But I heard Qin Lang say: "I can't get into the stream, I'm afraid that the girl's song will be ruined." ”
I felt a little relieved, but I saw a clear look of disappointment flashing in the corner of Yun Yu's eyes, but I was no longer reluctant, so I hugged the pipa and sat down, playing and singing the song "The Wind Yin".
Yun Song, the first popular female singer in Yangzhou, is not in vain, a beautiful and tactful minor tune is sung like a kingfisher playing water, and the yellow warbler is crying in the morning, which is unforgettable.
I originally listened comfortably, but I was a little absent-minded by her eyes that drifted to Qin Lang intentionally or unintentionally.
Girl, I boast that my appearance is not bad, but today, in front of this cloud ballad with excellent piano skills, natural voice, exquisite calligraphy and painting, and a good immortal appearance, I actually felt a little ashamed of myself from the bottom of my heart.
I swallowed a mouthful of the slightly bitter tea root, shook the tea cup with residual warmth, and suddenly realized a little realization: What is the comparison between me and a geisha?
I was wandering on my mind when the sound of a loud knock on the door was interrupted by a heavy knock on the door, and three vulgar men full of alcohol shouted and burst in.
But in an instant, Qin Lang had already gotten up and blocked in front of us, and shouted coldly, "Who is coming?" ”
"Who is you?" The first is a black face? The guy who looked like Li Kui, "Grandpa and grandma still want to ask who you are!" As he spoke, he suddenly shook off his arm and slapped Yun Yu in the face, "You little prodigal hoof?!" ”
Yun Yu was slapped and fell to the ground, and his pink and snow-white face immediately swollen, but he didn't dare to get angry at all, and said timidly with tears in his eyes: "Master Yan, I ......"
"What did you say before you left, huh? Let your grandmother do what you want, and don't pick up guests! Do you think that you are popular now, and you dare not listen to your grandfather, don't you? The man who was called Yan Ye shouted arrogantly with three points of drunkenness and five points, "I don't want to think about who is popular with you little!" ”
As he spoke, he rounded his arm and was about to greet Yun Yu again, but Qin Lang grabbed his wrist. That Yan Ye glared, trying hard to break away, but he couldn't break free as if he was caught by iron pliers, "Nosy, isn't it?" Are you her new friend? ”
