Chapter 21: The Piano and Chess Festival (I)
In the golden autumn of October, the golden chrysanthemums of Gaowangfu bloom unusually brilliantly, and the flowers are splendid. It seems that the most spectacular imperial palace in the Shanyue Kingdom in addition to the imperial palace is the Gao Wangfu, after all, the Gaowang Mansion has always been a symbol of the pillars that the Shanyue Kingdom relies on.
The inner courtyard of Lei House. After all, Master Lei couldn't help the excitement of the past few days, and he had the most beautiful picture of the ending of the 'Qin and Chess Festival' in his mind. Dong Yanzhi will win all the honors of the 'Qin and Chess Festival' for his Lei Mansion Du Mansion, and his Lei Mansion Du Mansion will also receive the most powerful favor and reward from the Lord of the Mountain and Moon Country. Except for the lord of the country, it seems that all the subjects of the Shanyue Kingdom should be on par with his Lei Mansion.
Just when Master Lei wanted to get into trouble, he suddenly remembered one thing, that is, Dong Yanzhi, who was forced to enter Lei Mansion, had also been in the Lei Mansion for some time, and what about her and Du Ruhe's piano, chess, and music skills? As soon as Master Lei thought of this, he suddenly slammed the desk, and the door of the study was opened with a squeak, and Steward Ma's buttocks twisted and jumped in. Steward Ma stretched out his erection and rolled his strange eyes and asked, "Master, what do you command?" Please say, the old slave will arrange it. ”
"Steward Ma, the old man is here to ask you. Miss Dong from Nadu Mansion has been coming to the house for some time, and she has made progress in piano, chess, and music? What happened to the external luthiers? Master Lei looked up at Steward Ma and said, his eyes always radiating a few shivering cold lights.
Steward Ma replied: "Back to the master, Miss Dong of Du Mansion has been studying a lot in the past few days, and the old slave estimates that after the training of an external violinist, Miss Dong's piano skills are becoming more and more perfect, and the head of the club is increasing day by day. The old man doesn't have to bother with these small things, just hand them over to the old slave and do it. However, the old slave has something in his heart, and he feels very aggrieved and doesn't know whether to talk about it or not. ”
"Alas, Steward Ma, you have been with the old man's family for decades, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you are in a hurry." Master Lei glanced at Steward Ma again and said directly, it seemed that he really had nothing to say to Steward Ma.
"Yes, sir. The old slave said it bluntly. Although Miss Dong of Nadu Mansion is a master who is willing to learn, the young master of Tianyi is a little overlord who dares to provoke everything. You know, just the young master's virtue, he always likes to catch the old man when he is not in the mansion and goes to court, so he will do something to Miss Dong. provoked the anger and fire in Miss Dong's stomach, and now she is still consuming it with the young master. The old man wants Miss Dong to win glory for the Lei Mansion, and now he has to cure the problem of the young master's love of flowers and grass. Otherwise, I'm afraid that the old man will try his best to end up with a bamboo basket to draw water. Steward Ma seemed to have become a good old man at this time, and said with hatred, and the old man Lei who had tried his best to get Dong Yanzhi into the Lei Mansion was almost half angry.
Master Lei was stunned and fixed there for a while, his eyes quickly rolled and he said angrily: "Lei Tianyi, you loser, the old man's face will be defeated by your kid." Stinky boy, you wait. See how the old man cleans you up. See if you dare to go against the old man? See if you still spend your heart? Directly dismantle the old man's backstage. After Master Lei was angry, he then yelled: "Come on, go and find that kid Lei Tianyi for me, the old man should train him well." ”
Suddenly, Lei Tianyi ran in from outside with a smile. He turned his head and stretched out to Master Lei and asked, "Dad, what do you want me to explain?" It won't be Miss Dufu Dong's business again. She is already in Lei Mansion, is Dad still afraid that she will not be able to fly? ”
There was a loud 'snap', and Lei Tianyi's left side of his face was severely beaten by Master Lei's commandment, and the reddened blood immediately became red and swollen. Lei Tianyi touched the blood-red marks and stepped back again and again, screaming while screaming, and howling: "Dad, why did you beat me?" Aren't you nervous and slapping your own son? ”
Master Lei didn't even look at it, and immediately roared angrily: "Oh, the old man is just having a nervous disorder." You kid is still pretending to be garlic, Lao Tzu is you! Tell me about yourself, what have you done during the time that your father was not at home? Have you been pestering Dong Yanzhi of that Du Mansion? When is it now, you still don't change your life, you are cowardly, and you do some obscene and rotten things. The old man has worked hard all his life to fight for the face of the glorious court of Lei Mansion, and he is about to lose your little growth. If I don't hit you, who else can I beat? As he spoke, Master Lei snapped, and with a wave of the commandment ruler in his hand, he hit the top of Lei Tianyi's head.
Lei Tianyi covered the pain bag on the top of his head and hurriedly jumped aside to plead: "Dad, don't beat me, don't be angry." Isn't this all what our father and son said before? You said that when Dong Yanzhi from Du Mansion entered the door, Tianyi didn't have to think about anything, just think about the benefits of the golden house, why did Dad regret it now? Lei Tianyi was reluctant to argue for a while, and a resentment hidden in his heart was about to rush out.
"The old man killed you, a bad boy, and killed you, a thing that doesn't grow. How does the old man usually teach you, this time, that time, is a plan of friendship. Everything changes with the development of things and weighs the pros and cons, and there is nothing in this world? Why are you just an elm head, you can't eat the ancients, and you don't know how to transform and change! At present, it is the most important place, the 'Qin and Chess Festival' of the Gao Wang's Mansion is imminent, and what is more important than the glory of the ancestor Zhang Yaomen and the gift of the appreciation of the lord of the country? Can't you stop your playboy heart for a moment and extinguish the thoughts of Dong Yanzhi in your heart? Can't we wait until the dust settles on this autumn's 'piano and chess event'? Master Lei was still puzzled and angry, and there seemed to be thousands of indescribable words in his heart to pour out to the idle flower in front of him, so that he could understand the truth in this matter.
"Master, don't be angry, it's not good to be angry. At this juncture, the master must not make mistakes, and many places and links need to be secretly dispatched and operated by the master. Otherwise, it is possible that the success will fall short and end up in vain. Steward Ma slowly persuaded on the side, poured a pot of tea and handed it to Master Lei.
"Okay, get out of the old man, from now on, you are not allowed to touch Dong Yanzhi of Du Mansion again. If you don't listen to your father's advice, you will definitely break your bones. After listening to Steward Ma's persuasion, Master Lei still couldn't let go of his hatred and anger towards Lei Tianmin, as if he had never given him a good color in this matter.
October 15 is a special day in the country of Shanyue, and every five years a grand 'Qin and Chess Festival' is held in this Gaowang Mansion rendered golden by the sea of flowers.
At this time, the palace of the high king was decorated gorgeously, and the red silk and satin flew in the wind; The flaming red lanterns were intertwined into a fiery dragon flying in the air with teeth and claws; Pavilions and pavilions, eaves and palaces; The garden path is flying and green. The dead trees are green, and the flowers are blooming. The flowers that have not withered are also desperately blooming the last flowers, for fear that the wind will pass, and the petals will fall one after another, and the silence will return to the dust, without a trace.
The female pianists from all over the world who came to participate in the 'piano and chess event' had already gathered in the Gaowang Mansion and poured into the back garden together under the leadership of the concierges. For a while, the lively scene of this 'piano and chess event' seemed to be full of people and noisy. There are groups of beautiful women, with beautiful fat and skin; Silk embroidery, warbler swallow fiber flying; The sound is still heavenly, and the piano is harmonious. From a distance, Mei'e competes for beauty, and grabs the colorful clouds. It seems that the guqin is leisurely, and the grass is soft.
The main arena of the 'Qin and Chess Festival' is located on the Moon Lotus Pond in the back garden of King Gao's Mansion. I saw that on the main arena, a beautifully embroidered fuqin platform was erected high on the shore south of the Moon Lotus Pond. The red silk on the Fuqin platform is extravagant, the ribbons are flying, and the delicate palace lamps in each are interspersed one after another, shining in the sky. The jasper gold ornaments used for decoration are even more shining, and the silver light is glazed.
There is a flower ladder that goes up and down under the piano stage, which adds a lot of color. Directly north is a tall and exquisite carved beam pavilion, whitewashed with golden splendor, extremely gorgeous. I think it should be a special seat specially arranged by the Gao Wangfu for the lord and queen of the Shanyue Kingdom, as well as the entourage of the ministers. To the east is a row of colorful silk sheds, which should be arranged for the female luthiers who come from all over the world to rest and rest. To the south should be the guests and merchants who have been invited to watch the event. To the west is the Moon Lotus Pond, the flower of the lake's water waves.
Looking at the surrounding courtyards carefully, the Gao Wangfu also sent a lot of craftsmen and show girls to listen at any time to deal with possible or unexpected accidents on the field.
The noon sun shone across the line, and the celebrant issued a proclamation to the crowd in the audience. Personnel from all parties rushed in, following the order, and the cameras were seated one after another. After a while, everyone entered the main arena of the Moon Lotus Pond safe and sound. And with the loud shout of the chief eunuch in the palace: "Lord, it's here!" Queen Mother, it's here! All the personnel on the Moon Lotus Pond arena bowed down to the two people who walked under the yellow cover of the red silk carpet cart in the north, and recited the big slogan that had already penetrated the hearts of the subjects. Long live my emperor, long live, long live! ”
After the two men and women who came out of the Huang Qi slowly sat down, all the civil and military officials and all the personnel of Your Excellency Lou slowly returned to their seats. The celebrant knocked on the gong in his hand again and shouted: "The lord of the country is in the mouth, the five-year 'Qin and Chess Festival' of the Shanyue Kingdom is now !! Suddenly, there was another salute on the moon lotus pond, and the gongs and drums were noisy. Streamers are flying, hydrangeas are fluttering. After that, a celebrant came out of the stage and ordered the female players under the stage to perform.
The No. 1 woman's piano and singing praises finally slowly fluttered from the arena, hesitating and dewy among the flowers. All the personnel on the field were as silent as a crow, holding their breath, and they were engrossed in the melodious sound of the piano performed by the female number one.
The sound of the piano is accompanied by the woman's singing, sometimes the face is high, sometimes agitated, sometimes the flowers are beckoning, and the willows are flying. Sometimes singing in a low voice, just like a Huaichun woman looking forward to the resentment of Shou Mo Shangsang, and the lotus root is broken.
After the song ended, the lord of the country sitting in the middle of the pavilion first shouted a wonderful admiration. "Our country's literary and artistic songs, the songs are exquisite, and they are still natural. Talented, handsome and resolute, all of them are national treasures. ”
The queen mother next to her smiled one after another: "Congratulations to the lord of the country for blessing and the protection of Tianyan." The world's handsome men, gather to serve their lives. It is the blessing of the country and the blessing of the people! ”
The civil and military forces under the seat also immediately recited: "The lord of the country is wise, and there are many talented people in the world." Heaven and face blessed, Cathay Pacific ten thousand years. ”
The lord of the country laughed again and again, and said in a loud voice: "All the lovers are exempt, today is the day of ear blessing." If you can have fun with all the Aiqing and the subjects of the world, you don't have to be polite if everything is simple. Yi can listen to the essence of the country and the music of art, which is really a blessing for three lives. When the lord of the kingdom had spoken, he rushed to the celebrant again
Yi Zhi said: "Then make noise with the No. 2 pianist, and then make up the fairy music." I share it with all the people of the world. ”
The celebrant was ordered to immediately call on the No. 2 female luthier, flick the fingers and fly the strings, ding ding dong dong, and the song of the warbler is another exquisite song. After repeating the salute dozens of times, the celebrant finally muttered Dong Yanzhi's name from the thick hoarse voice.
After seeing the celebrant making noise on the stage, a peerless woman gracefully floated down the flower ladder, with white veil and fluttering clothes. The pink couple, the weak lotus dew. The slender hands danced, still holding the leather pipa and half covering the face. It seems that the immortals descend to earth, and it is better than sinking fishes and geese.
Suddenly, everyone present was stunned and suspicious. Suddenly, a rapid gratuitous confusion jumped in my heart. The feeling of loneliness arises spontaneously from the bottom of your heart, quietly hurting your heart.
The next moment, it was time for Dong Yanzhi, who had been deposited for a long time, to perform.
Lei Xiangye was thinking about it in the pavilion.
