Chapter 19 Pipa Language
Shaohua carefully took the pipa, and while lifting the wrapping, a look of surprise appeared on his face. She glanced at Mama Rong hesitantly, saw her nodding, and hurriedly hugged the pipa in front of her. As soon as the pipa is in hand, the posture comes out, pressing the strings with the left hand and plucking the sound with the right hand. After plucking a few strings at random and trying the tone, my eyes suddenly brightened, but my heart settled.
After a moment of silence, I saw the white jade-like fingers move lightly, and with a heartstring-tugging sound, Rong Mama's brows trembled slightly. And then the tune became more and more urgent, like a golden drum battle horn before the battle, and the soldiers and horses were in the camp. The sound rises and falls, sometimes urgent, sometimes slow, or point or dial, a song "Huaiyin Pingchu" gurgles out like flowing water. The score seemed to be engraved in Shaohua's mind, without pause, skillful and natural.
When the pipa sounded, the girls in the flower hall next door were also involuntarily attracted to it. One by one, they were stunned and watched Shaohua sit quietly on the chair like an old monk in a fixed place, but his fingers were playing on the strings quickly. The song was like a heavenly sound, but it made their hair stand up when they heard it, and their whole hearts were nervous with the ups and downs of the song, and they involuntarily clenched their chests.
"Five ladies, that's enough." Mama Rong suddenly pressed the strings, and the song stopped abruptly.
The girls outside the door also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, looked at each other, and couldn't express their surprise. Only Shaohua came back to his senses in a daze, and looked up at Mama Rong in confusion, "Sir, I haven't finished playing yet." ”
"Wu Niangzi was born in a scholarly family, and she shouldn't practice this kind of martial arts. If the lady really likes the pipa, from today onwards, switch to her left hand. "Wuqu in the right hand, Wenqu in the left hand, this is the knowledge that anyone who plays the pipa knows." I have a sheet music here, so I'll send it to my wife to learn. ”
So when Mama Rong saw Shaohua pressing the strings with her left hand and plucking the sound with her right hand very naturally, the shock in her heart was indescribable. Although good songs are not distinguished from high and low, a little lady raised in the boudoir plays a delicate pipa martial arts, which is really incredible. Mama Rong quickly settled down, took out the ancient pipa song that had been hiding behind her back, and handed it to Shaohua.
Shaohua took it and flipped it a few times, feeling a little bored, "Sir, the literary song is soft, not as touching as the martial music." She naturally knew that Wenqu was long, melodious and pleasant, but it was far less thrilling than Wuqu.
Mama Rong lowered her expression, looked solemn, and said seriously: "The fifth lady has not forgotten, I am here to teach the lady to do the chores." The lady is a pearl lady who is a scholar in the world, and the Lang Jun who will marry in the future must also be a young talent. What I can teach you is the way of doing things, not the sound of the wind and snow. The lady is thirteen this year, and she should learn to cultivate herself qualitatively, so that she will be a good husband and a child in the future. ”
I saw Shaohua pursing her lips, her face was unwilling, and she glanced at the embroidered handkerchief on her table, and said helplessly: "If the embroidery of the fifth lady can be as outstanding as your pen and ink pipa, I will not be inconvenient to say anything about you." ”
Shaohua heard the meaning of the strings, and asked excitedly: "Did Mr. say that as long as I can embroider female red well, or can I learn martial arts?" ”
"When the five ladies can embroider a complete veil, it's not too late to talk about this issue." Fortunately, Mama Rong's characterization is good, otherwise she would have to be angry with Shaohua's words.
"That's not good, sir, let's have something to say first. As long as I can embroider a complete veil, Sir doesn't care what I learn, right? Shaohua smiled and bargained with Mama Rong, leaving the girls outside the house dumbfounded.
can bargain with such a hippie smile in front of Mama Rong, who can't be refuted when she speaks, it is estimated that there is only one Shaohua.
Mama Rong looked at her for a long time, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, "It depends on what kind of handkerchief the lady can embroider." "Mama Rong is not so easy to bluff.
"What do you say sir?" Shaohua was a little deflated.
Mama Rong seemed to be prepared, and took a picture of a mandarin duck playing in the water from the table that had been traced, and couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw Shaohua's expression that her eyes were about to fall. Seeing that several other girls walked in, Mama Rong bowed down and said, "First of all, I apologize to the ladies, I have to leave here tomorrow, and I have to deal with some personal matters." This morning, I asked the elder to say goodbye, I have already made this matter clear, and now I will talk to the ladies. ”
"When will the gentleman come back?" Wanhua asked worriedly.
"More than ten days, less than four or five days."
"Sir, can I be accompanied?"
"Some trivial private matters, inconvenient to bother."
After Mama Rong politely and implicitly rejected Yan Sui's proposal, she looked at Shaohua on the side and blessed her, "I hope that when I return, the fifth lady can embroider a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water." After a pause, he added, "Water ducks don't count." ”
The girls all covered their mouths and chuckled when they heard this, and Shaohua's face was hot with laughter, "Mr. looks down on my female celebrity like this." ”
"It's not that I look down on it, it's that I haven't looked at it." Mama Rong replied.
Shaohua opened his mouth to answer, hesitated for a moment, and then changed his tone and said, "Then Mr., please wait and see." ”
"I just hope that the ladies don't forget their homework, and they will check them one by one when I return." This sentence was obviously said to Shaohua. Wanhua smiled and promised to help staring at Shaohua to learn the female red, Yan Sui also echoed, and Shaohua was two big when she heard it. glanced at them sadly, this buy one, get two free rhythm is specifically aimed at her.
Because I had to leave the house, I had to go back early to pack my things, and I had to go to say goodbye to Liu. So Mama Rong gave some homework and asked them to go back.
Once again, she got out of school early because of Shaohua, and both Wanhua and Yan Sui were joking with her excitedly. As soon as they left the school, the girls began to chatter, and what surprised them the most was that Shaohua did something they didn't expect. Compared with Yan Sui's excitement and Jinhua's unwillingness, Wanhua has a slight sense of pride, and her speech is much louder and more powerful.
"Why did my grandfather let you learn this kind of tune, I almost made Mr. unhappy." Wanhua scolded lightly.
"There's nothing wrong with that." Shaohua retorted softly.
"Which gentleman taught the fifth sister's pipa, and how to teach some terrifying tunes, it was terrifying to listen to. Just outside the house, my heart was about to jump out. Jinhua held his chest, as if the shock just now had not subsided.
"It's horrible, I listened to it when I was a kid...... My grandfather told the story of the struggle between Chu and Han, and this song is ......" Shaohua was interrupted by Wanhua before he finished speaking. She sank her face, her expression was a little displeased, "How can you little lady listen to these stories, what's so good about fighting and killing, no wonder Mr. was about to talk about you just now." ”
Shaohua looked aggrieved, she used to grow up in northern Sichuan, and she had seen a lot of soldiers and generals, so she naturally heard the stories of some heroes and heroes. Of course, these can't be told to Shaohua and them, so they have to laugh wryly and don't answer.
Yan Sui said enviously: "Mr. is so good to the fifth sister. We went to school on the same day, and my husband favored you very much, and gave you pipa scores, and allowed you to argue like this. I used to think that my husband was a bad talker, but now it seems that he is quite good at talking to my fifth sister. After Yan Sui finished speaking, everyone else nodded in unison, looking at Shaohua in unison, curious about what she was capable of.
Jinhua said in a coquettish voice: "The fifth sister is really a wonderful person, what Mr. likes, the fifth sister will do if it happens." ”
Wanhua also wondered in her heart, "Mr. once said that she prefers the pipa, but she has only heard one person play it exquisitely." Thinking about today, Wu Niang's pipa also entered Mr.'s heart, and I remembered the old man. ”
"The deceased?" Yan Sui repeated.
Wanhua nodded and said softly, "It's the county lord of Anxi who just passed away not long ago." ”
Yan Sui let out a soft "ah", and hurriedly covered her mouth, seeing that the corners of other people's eyes drooped slightly, and she was embarrassed. Suddenly, the atmosphere became solemn. Shaohua was most troubled by the fact that they brought up this issue, although he repeatedly warned to accept the reality. But when I heard others mention "myself" funeral again and again, I was always a little awkward, and changed the topic with a haha: "Mr. Xingxu is the first time to see an unruly lady like me, and he is so angry that he has nothing to say." ”
"I think so." Wanhua also felt that the atmosphere was awkward, and the tone of cooperation made Shaohua almost vomit blood. Wanhua looked back at her sister with a sad expression, and couldn't help but purse her lips and laugh, and the other two also laughed.
The car sent them back to Biwuxuan, and after Shaohua said goodbye to them, he couldn't wait to run to his house. It was the first time she felt that she missed the house so much, and the soft bedding.
Youhan was beckoning the little maid to sweep in the yard, and when she saw her own lady running in in a hurry, she was startled, and thought something had happened. As soon as he entered the house, he immediately ran towards the bed, Chu He couldn't stop him after him, and saw Shaohua fall down on the bed. Kicked over his shoes and said in a daze, "Don't wake me up until dinner." Then he fell asleep.
Chu He had a bitter face, but he was helpless, so he had to fold the quilt for her and put her shoes neatly in front of the bed.
Youhan walked in with tea, and saw that Shaohua had already gotten into the quilt, and was about to make a sound, but was stopped by Chu He shaking his head.
"Let the lady sleep, you didn't see her eye sockets, as if they were painted with ink. I don't know how long I talked with the third lady last night, and I was listless this morning, and I pierced myself again, which made people feel distressed. Hatsuho took out the handkerchief hidden in his sleeve, and the shocking blood stains made Youhan almost scream.
"But what if the lady falls asleep at this time and can't get up at night?" Youhan said worriedly.
Chu He shook his head, "Don't worry, I just heard that Mr. said that he wants to leave the house, and from tomorrow, the ladies don't have to go to school." Looking back at Youhan and picking up the pattern that Mama Rong left for Shaohua, she couldn't help complaining: "Mr. is really, our lady doesn't have to do it herself in the future, why force her to practice this." ”
"Huh? Mr. Hengzhu has not been in the house for the past few days, so it is better for us to help the lady do this, and save her from getting her hands hurt. Youhan's proposal was affirmed by Hatsuhe.
"That's a good idea, you decide, I'll get the needle and thread."
Chu He got up, brought a sewing basket, and saw that Youhan was curiously looking at the pipa given by Mama Rong. Nervously walked over, carefully wrapped the lupa, and put it away. "Be careful, this is a gift from Mr. to the lady, if it is broken in the future, we can't afford to pay for it."
Youhan couldn't help but speak, "Mr. is really good to the fifth lady." ”
"That's true, it's the first time I've heard that my husband is so good to a lady. Now the three ladies can already be married, and in two years, it will be the turn of the five ladies. With such a preference for Mr., it is easy to think that the five ladies want to find a wishful husband. Suddenly, there was a murmur, and the two of them were startled, and looked back at Shaohua, who had turned over and dreamed. Chu He hurriedly walked over, saw that she was still asleep, and after folding the quilt for her, he came back and said to Youhan: "Since Mr. Da entered the house, I don't know how many more matchmakers have come to borrow and ask. In the past, I mostly inquired about the eldest young master and the second young master, but now it seems that it should be for our lady. ”
Youhan was surprised and stammered a little, "Didn't you say with Liu Jialangjun?" ”
Chu He shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is no definite number for this, who knows." ”
