Section 184 Contest

When Long Ze heard what the guy said, he was shocked. admired Shen Mu again.

Lanxi Pavilion is not big, but the layout of the courtyard is very elegant. The general layout is similar to that of "Duanfu" in Dingzhou, and there is also an open space in the backyard, where there are many tables, chairs and benches, and fruits and snacks have already been placed on the table.

The guy led the two of them and said, "Miss Xichun originally wanted to let those people come in to listen to the singing, but you two look, where can there be so many people here, isn't it...... There are too many people, and it has become like a spring party in the countryside, how can it be a little elegant......"

Long Ze suddenly felt funny: "Open the door to do business, how can you do this!"

The guy said, "This boy doesn't understand, right? First, our girl is never short of silver, and second, we are not doing the business of the Red Mansion." Therefore, Miss Xichun always has to think hard of ways to stop the unreasonable layman...... The girl said that this song is the same as that of people, and it is sung to people who are destined. That's not for those who go with the flow. Therefore, except for the few masters invited by the girl, the rest are the smart people who can see this plan......! Please sit here!"

spoke, leading the two to sit at the table and chair in the back row.

Long Ze wondered, "Isn't the position in front still empty, why are you letting us sit here?"

Shen Mu sat down calmly and pulled Long Ze to sit down: "Don't worry, those positions are VIP!"

Long Ze said blankly: "What is Wei Ah Pi?"

Shen Mu said with a smile: "It's reserved for dignitaries or people with heads and faces! It's very good that we can come in and listen to it." ”

Long Ze pursed his lips disdainfully, grabbed a pear, and took a bite of it, crispy and sweet: "It's really troublesome......"

Although he said this, he didn't mind eating snacks and looking at the beautiful scenery.

The seats are less leaning, the sky is getting dark, and the lanterns in the courtyard are lit. Several teams of sons shook folding fans, took official steps, entered the back garden with a smile, and sat down in front of the tables and chairs.

Then several tables of richly dressed middle-aged men came one after another.

In less than half a moment, the entire back garden was already full of friends, and most of the people seemed to know each other, and they were greeting each other.

After listening to a good singing, a handsome young man in his early twenties walked out of the front hall surrounded by a group of family members, dressed in purple robes and wearing a crown on his head.

The young man King Kang motioned for everyone to sit down, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone is here to listen to Miss Xichun's singing, there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority here, you don't have to care." I'm like you, it's a song of a wonderful girl. I didn't listen in January, and I felt uncomfortable. Haha......"

Everyone laughed together, and a young man raised his voice and said, "King Kang, I heard that today is very different. Miss Xichun let out a word...... Who can present a song today, and get a chance to drink at the same table! I wonder if King Kang has the confidence to come out on top......

King Kang smiled: "There are countless literati and artists in this capital, how can I have such ability." It's a joy to be able to listen to the music!"

One person said with a smile: "Who doesn't know that King Kang is both civil and military, who will be your opponent for the people here...... In my opinion, the name of this leader belongs to King Kang!"

King Kang said again and again: "How dare you." But there was a smug look on his face. In his heart, he naturally already believed that he was today's "leader". No matter who competes with him for the opportunity to kiss Fangze, he will be bored.

Long Ze looked at King Kang with an invincible appearance, and said disdainfully: "This person is too arrogant...... He looks white and tender, and at first glance he is a gentleman!"

Shen Mu said with a smile: "Didn't you hear others call him "King Kang", this prince and general, which one is not brocade clothes and jade food, Brother Long doesn't need to be serious." ”

Long Ze suddenly smiled weirdly, approached Shen Mu, and said in a low voice: "Brother Shen, I'll make a deal with you!"

Shen Mu saw him with a wicked smile on his face, and asked, "What kind of deal?"

"If you have a way to overcome him today, I will teach you a way......

"This?...... I'm just a little learned, how can I win so many people......"

"It's okay, you just have to try, do your best, and you will lose in the end...... I'll teach you the same. ”

Shen Mu thought about it, this deal sounds good, whether he wins or loses, he will gain something anyway, but he can give it a try.

I've cultivated the Tao for so long, and now I can't even save my life. Although the fifth uncle said that he should not choose the "Eight Divine Powers" for the time being, he had to learn one of the skills of escaping. It's really an accident, so it's good to pick up the tail and die...... Even if it is answered.

After everyone sat down, dozens of maidservants served various dishes and wines, and served them on the wine table one by one. Long Ze saw that the newly served roast chicken was full of fragrance, and immediately broke off two chicken legs, one handed to Shen Mu, and the other gobbled it up by himself.

Shen Mu saw him take a sip of wine and a mouthful of chicken, like a starving ghost, and he didn't feel funny. Even if they are in a hurry, the food on the road is all delicacies from the mountains and seas, and no matter how greedy they are, they will not lose their etiquette.

Shen Mu took the chicken thigh, put it in a bowl, and did not eat it. He had just eaten a snack, and his stomach was not hungry at this time, but he was just thinking about what the long-awaited Xichun looked like and what was the difference in the song he sang.

The sound of the piano, the sound of "scolding", is exciting.

Where the sound of the piano fell, a woman came with a guqin in her arms.

The woman was dressed in a crimson pleated glass dress, the long skirt was charming and bright, and the gold threads strung on the skirt were dazzling with candle flames. Her cloud bun is decorated with exquisite golden hairpins, and a mellow night pearl hangs below, and her feet are on gold wire high heels, lining her tall figure. With a white veil on his face, the light veil covers most of his face, only to see the snow skin of Dai Mei and a pair of eyes shining with starlight, which is to look at people, which is already refreshing. Although he did not show his face, it was just right to make people reverie, still holding the guqin and half-covering his face, and the shaft plucked the strings three or two times!

When everyone saw it, they were all in awe, and the originally noisy back garden didn't even have a sound.

Long Ze's eyes widened, and his mouth was full of oil: "No wonder...... No wonder...... This woman ...... It's really beautiful and refined, like a fairy descending from heaven!"

Shen Mu said with a smile: "How can an ugly-looking woman be supported by the stars...... People, most of them still depend on their appearance......" He said this, really sighing that once a person is as beautiful as a fairy, most of his talent will be boasted.

I saw that Xichun owed Wanfu: "Little girl Xichun, thank you for coming...... In the past, the little girl sang softly alone, but now the little woman thinks about singing and singing, and everyone will eventually get tired of listening to it, so she thinks of something that everyone can participate in......"

Xichun's voice is not very special, and the words are very clear. But I don't know how good the song sung by this kind of voice will be......

Xichun told me about today's arrangements again. It is probably said that he will sing a song to help the fun, and then everyone who sits down can offer a copy of the lyrics, and the winner will not only have the opportunity to drink at the same table with Xichun, but the words he writes will also be made into a song. I will use it as the opening song of next month's concert.

After Xichun said this, he set up the guqin and tuned the strings: "Then the little girl will start the ...... first."

The strings were plucked, and the flowing melody poured out, melodious like a spring in the mountains, flowing loudly, and from time to time naughtily stirring up waves. Gradually, it overflowed like a tide, filling every space in the backyard. In the sound of the piano, there seems to be a fairy dancing in the wind, elegant and noble, and there seems to be a dazzling flower blooming one after another, elegant and fragrant.

Xichun's fingers floated on the strings again, and the slender fingers seemed to be enchanted, like butterflies walking through a hundred flowers.

The song echoed for a moment, and the spring sang loudly, singing:

There is a beautiful woman who will never forget it.

I don't see it for a day, and I think like crazy.

The phoenix soars, seeking the phoenix from all over the world.

Helpless beauty, not on the east wall.

The piano will be used as a substitute for the language, and the conversation will be heartfelt.

When to see Xu Xi, comfort me hesitating.

I am willing to match virtue and join hands.

I shall not fly away, and I shall be destroyed.

Shen Mu was familiar with this song, so he thought that this was not "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix"? Why is it that there are also people singing it here......

It sounds a bit like limerick poetry now, but it's a real love poem!

But although the words are words, they were sung by Xichun in a sad and resentful voice. Her voice is not special, but it is such a non-special voice, singing such a non-special tune, and the not-so-amazing rhythm of the piano, which makes this unbelievable love poem sung as if it were immersive and empathetic!

Everyone mourned silently, listening to the music, thinking about things, bursting into tears, and secretly wiping their sleeves, there are many people!

Sing a song, and your thoughts are not over!

Shen Mu didn't care at all, except for sighing at Xichun's exquisite piano skills, he even felt a little boring. But seeing Long Ze's confused and unspeakable appearance, it was even more incredible!

He didn't know that in his time, the development of music had gone through thousands of years of development, and it had already tended to be perfected, and there were countless musical instruments, and all kinds of ancient poems had also been integrated into the lyrics. In the era of gathering hundreds of schools of thought in Dacheng, how can these people imagine.

After a long time, the backyard applauded thunderously, and everyone was very excited.

Xichun enjoyed the pleasure brought by a moment of applause, cleared his throat, and said, "Let's prepare first." Childe, who will participate in the competition later, please take pen and ink here. After a stick of incense, let's start to evaluate how it is!"

Everyone responded with a hello, and everyone rushed to the place where the pen and ink were, took the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to write hard.

Shen Mu was indifferent, as if he was looking at the most interesting things in the world.

Long Ze hurriedly said: "Hey, don't forget, we're still betting!"

Shen Mu smiled: "Don't worry, let's take a look first." The article has something in my heart...... "Shen Mu is confident, and he doesn't have it himself." But what he had in his stomach was "Big and Small Li Du, Tang and Song poems, Qin and Han Yuefu." "If the peach blossom festival in front of me is not for the pen of Xishan Dao students to promote white tea, how can there be anything to do with those students.
