Chapter 22: The Piano and Chess Festival (II)
In the horror and cheers of everyone, Dong Yanzhi was like a fairy descending to the earth, calmly stroking the piano and singing. A song of heavenly divine sound appeared in this way, falling melodiously and melodious.
Dong Yanzhi played the piano and sang: "
"Singing with sorrow, a little joy, prosperous lights, Qin Huai Mingyue, a light song half the moon. Whoever sees it all, a river of smoke and rain, fog and light yarn. After years of old things, in Shuiyi people, the end of the world is far away! Who cares about the bridgehead to invite the moon tour, and who knows who is sorry in the year of the red peony? Don't say that this is a lot of sorrow, knowing that no one will rely on the railing. lowered his head, pulled his clothes, and ended up with two lines of lights and tears. Hate like that, the sky has no wishes, freedom, one leaf love, three lives of hatred, a few tears of separation, turned into pain in the mirror. ”
The piano whispered and complained, and chirped with each other. The moon is like water, and the silver light is empty. Prosperous day by day, beautiful face. Even the clusters of golden chrysanthemums that opened in King Gao's mansion looked delicate and beautiful at this time. had to lower his glamorous face, and shyly let Dong Yanzhi's beauty of quyi.
At this time, Dong Yanzhi's elegant and beautiful appearance seemed to be amazing like she had never appeared, and everything on the field seemed to be shaping her beauty. Even the lord of the country, who had three palaces and six concubines and beauties in the world, stretched out his precious erection at this time, staring at Dong Yanzhi in the field with a look of surprise and jealousy. The jade bead chain in his hand didn't know when it was crumpled by him. The civil and military people next to them were even more eager to watch and listen with bated breath, as if the quiet loneliness and the beauty of the strings had already generated a melody that shook the soul, and a ripple of gentle rhythm in their hearts.
Lei Xiangye's expression became cheerful and violent at the moment, and he could imagine the spectacular scene behind the end of Dong Yanzhi's strings and courtesans, how exciting and stunned it was? Together with the exclamations of the lord and the queen and all the civil and military officials, it will flood like a tide, covering the glory of the Lei Mansion that he has been planning for a long time. At that time, the glory and rewards of all the gifts of the lord of the country will invisibly put a special halo on his head, and all the eyes of the world will have to pay attention to his Lei Mansion and treat him with great courtesy.
A string sound of "ding" sounded, and there were two or three broken strings in the center of the arena. The keys that Dong Yanzhi was caressing were already broken and the piano was broken, and Dong Yanzhi was also shocked for a moment, and she was at a loss for a while. It is also difficult for her to imagine that the sad scene of playing the high and broken strings will meet unexpectedly at this critical and solemn moment. The three fingers of her left hand were already stained with bubbling blood, and they were falling on the keys one by one. Under the bright sunshine of autumn and October, it seems that a flower with blood is born.
At this moment, there was finally a thunderous exclamation on the field, and the celebrant hurriedly walked up to the stage, picked up Dong Yanzhi's left hand and exclaimed: "Quickly pass the doctor, pass the doctor, Miss Dong's left hand is injured and she can't play the piano, stop the game, and leave the field!" The crowd in the audience roared for a while, and the voices of regret and resentment were endless. What's more, they shouted loudly not to let Dong Yanzhi step down from the stage, so as not to hear this voice like a fairy again.
Even the yellow-robed lord in the pavilion was shocked, and then the voice of the celebrant shouted loudly: "Quickly pass on the great doctor, quickly pass on the great doctor, treat it immediately, and don't make mistakes." ”
The queen on the side heard that the lord's tone was so nervous and urgent at this time, and she couldn't help but joke in a tone of envy for a while: "The emperor is so nervous about this daughter, is this woman in the emperor's heart again?" Do you want the concubine to get it and put it in the emperor's harem! ”
The yellow-clothed lord immediately said coldly: "Queen, Hugh is messing around!" This female music is exquisite, the sound is like heaven, and it is really a rare treasure of piano and chess in the country of Shanyue. I, as the lord of the country, how can I disregard human life. The subjects still cherish it so much, and it is the treasure of the country! ”
"The emperor has such a mind, and he is a blessing for his subjects. The concubines are only afraid that the emperor's heart is not here? The queen mother immediately said in a tone that no one else could refute.
"Haha, don't you know that little bit of caution? Take your tricks, I don't have time to pay attention to the ones in your heart. After the yellow-clothed lord finished speaking, he suddenly changed his stiff tone just now and said, "Do you know who the Fuqin woman on the stage is the representative of her family?" Why don't you go down to the pavilion and have a look? ”
Vice Minister Lei on the side hurriedly stood out in the front row and replied: "Lord, that woman is the representative of Weichen's family, so the minister will go downstairs to have a look." Please relax, the minister must act carefully, so as not to worry the lord.
The yellow-clothed lord sighed: "That woman is the representative of Lei Aiqing's family, so let's heal her injuries quickly." I don't want to see a bloodlight disaster at this moment. ”
"Yes, Weichen carefully obeyed the instructions of the lord of the country and lived up to his expectations. Lord, you can enjoy another happiness. After answering the promise, Master Lei replied with etiquette, and slowly retreated from the pavilion.
As soon as Vice Minister Lei retreated from the pavilion, he immediately changed his sinister face. Steward Ma followed behind Master Lei, and he didn't dare to exhale. He knew that going to slap Master Lei's ass at this time was tantamount to slapping the tiger's egg pain. This heart-warming fire, I can't wait to splash it all on Dong Yanzhi, a damn little girl.
It's not good that the strings are broken at that time, you just make trouble at this critical juncture, isn't this obviously that you can't get along with Vice Prime Minister Lei? Even if you have twelve lives on your body, you won't want to escape from the hands of our deputy prime minister in the next second. It's a maxima, or a mule with egg pain, if you ruin the good things of our deputy prime minister, we will kill you.
Offstage, Dong Yanzhi has arrived at the house of the colorful shed with the support of Du Ruhe and Du Ru's sisters. Dong Yanzhi's left finger was still bubbling with thin blood, stained on the plain white yarn, like a flower with a bloody smile. A 60-year-old imperial doctor was preparing medicine powder for Dong Yanzhi's wound, and when he saw Master Lei coming in, he hurriedly saluted: "Hello Master Lei, this woman's hand injury is only afraid that she will not be able to play the piano and sing again within a month." Xiaguan, please supervise Prime Minister Lei. ”
Old Man Lei replied without raising his head: "Got it, Imperial Doctor Li." It's hard for you, let's stop here, you can go with your business, you don't have to worry about the affairs of my family. ”
"Yes, listen to Lei Xiangye's orders. The old man will go down here, and you will take your own time. Imperial Physician Li said again, and then slowly retreated.
The people of Lei and Du all understood at this time that Dong Yanzhi's disability on the field meant the end of the 'qin and chess competition', and it was only wishful thinking to compete for the championship with Du Ruhe's newly entered piano skills. The desire of the Lei Du family to compete for favor and invite merit should be in vain from this moment on.
Master Lei's eyes slipped a few times, and he suddenly picked up the broken stringed piano that was put aside and threw it to the ground viciously, and then rushed up and stepped on it a few times, before he hated and scolded: "Tell you to break the strings, tell you to break the strings, Lao Tzu will kill you and break you." What ancient guqin, fairy qin, all to Lao Tzu aside. Lao Tzu will never eat your set again. ”
There was silence for a while, and no one spoke. After Master Lei was angry, Mrs. Liu said slowly: "Master Lei, you don't need to be so angry. If you want to scold people, you can come to the old woman, can you use your respectful finger to scold Huai? You are angry in your heart, my wife is also angry in her heart, you send your anger to our mother, who am I going to do? ”
Master Lei suddenly rolled his eyes strangely, glanced at Mrs. Liu with a fierce look, and finally didn't say anything more.
Silence, deathly silence pervades the entire household. As if the end of the world was coming, life seemed meaningless.
Master Lei's gloomy and swollen face swept over Dong Yanzhi's body again, he glared, tilted his head, made a sound in his mouth, and spat out viciously. Then, with a pair of gloomy thief eyes, he turned around and withdrew from the resting shed.
For a while, it seemed that the infinite grief and bitterness between heaven and earth surged into Master Lei's heart at the same time, and his heart seemed to suddenly fall like a towering mountain, so depressed that Master Lei's breathing was tight and his chest was about to burst. Master Lei glanced at the venue of the entire 'Qin and Chess Festival' in despair, and only felt that all the excitement and joy in the venue were great irony and ridicule of his body and mind at this moment.
He can't forget the carefully planned plans he made day and night, and he can't extinguish the countless evil consequences in his heart that he has secretly done by using the power in his hands thousands of times. Although Master Lei did all this seamlessly, in the end, God still played a joke with him. Dong Yanzhi not only couldn't suppress the skills on the spot, but also sang beautifully, bringing glory to Du Lei's two joint ventures, and she didn't even qualify for the finals.
Dong Yanzhi was defeated, and she was defeated by the fact that the strings were broken and the piano was ruined on the field. Master Lei was also defeated, he was defeated by himself, his power was exhausted, and in the end he ended up with a bamboo basket for nothing. It's all a hustle and bustle. The truth of everything in the world is not as good as heaven. Even if you have the power to return to heaven, you have no intention of degrading the sky, and success or failure is never certain.
Master Lei turned back to the pavilion and sat in his original position decadently. He no longer had the heart to watch this 'piano and chess event' that had poured all his personal energy and effort, and he was now thinking more about seeing if there was room for him to return to heaven in the gaps of this grand event. So much so that the yellow-clothed lord cast an inquiring glance at him, but Master Lei still ignored it with a dull gaze.
On the beautifully embroidered fuqin platform in the south of the Moon Lotus Pond, the beautiful woman dressed in flowing clouds and flying emerald and delicate flying still sings the piano in a reciprocal cycle, and one recommendation after another. The sound of the piano and the song blend in this golden autumn October, like painting the most beautiful picture of the country. Decorate the delicate and picturesque soft world of women at this moment.
On the field, the air still conveys the taste of the strings, the sound of the soft and tender voice. The sad and joyful scenes of some people laughing and some crying and mourning are all seen in this moment when the strings stop breathing, and the happiness and misfortune are all in this thought.
However, this "piano and chess event" with a full golden autumn moon ended unsatisfactorily with Dong Yanzhi. is like a bottomless ravine, from then on lonely mountains drifting, sad songs come out of the mouth.
Dong Yanzhi took the injury and Mrs. Liu and her entourage, and silently withdrew from the Moon Lotus Pond in Gaowang's Mansion amid the sound of other people's pianos and songs.
In the moment of looking back, a crystal clear tear finally slid across Dong Yanzhi's face and dispersed with the wind.
