Chapter Twenty-Three: Moving Guests, Drinking and Fighting Poems in the Merry Field
On this day, the four of them came out of the Wang's teahouse to listen to the book, and inadvertently turned to another street and alley, on both sides of which were Yanyue signs, and the doors of every house were not covered, only green cloth and bamboo curtains were hung.
Ye Pei asked curiously, "Where is this?" I didn't even come? ”
The other three looked at each other, silent.
Ye Pei proposed, "How about we go in and have a look?" ”
Lin Zhu lowered his head and coughed, and Shao Yingquan looked up at the sky.
Wang Junyi said: "Let's go to Daqing Building to eat bar!" ”
Ye Pei saw their state even more strange, "I want to go and see this street." ”
Shao Yingquan was honest and said: "This is the land of fireworks, how can you get into a girl's house?" ”
Ye Pei has always refused to accept the ban between men and women, and said: "Why can't women go? I haven't been there, so I want to see how. Besides, I'm wearing men's clothes, who can tell I'm a woman? ”
Wang Junyi doted on Ye Pei and didn't disobey her, and said: "Sister Ye, then let's go and have a look, but let's come out after a while." Besides, don't tell your family about today's events, or I'm afraid you won't want to come out to play again. ”
Ye Pei said: "I know this. ”
So, four people walked into this alley.
came to the middle house, and in front of her house was written "Song and Dance Fairy Chang'e Yue, Merry Flower Oiran Liu Wan'er". Ye Pei stopped and said, "How about we go into this house and see?" ”
As soon as he entered the door, a smiling mother-in-law came out and said, "Four sons, do you have an appointment with my girl Liu?" ”
Wang Junyi stepped forward and said, "No." ”
The woman said: "Four sons, that's really sorry, we must make an appointment here in advance." ”
Wang Junyi said: "Grandma, don't bother the Oiran lady, let's come in and drink tea and leave." As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver and handed it to his mother-in-law.
This woman felt strange, and when she came into Fireworks Willow Lane, she didn't see the Oiran lady, and she only drank a cup of tea, but she never did.
She saw that the four sons were still young, and they probably didn't understand the rules, or they were a little cramped when they came to this romantic field for the first time. Therefore, he did not rush, but said, "Good to say, good to say, please take a seat." ”
Then she led the four people into the flower hall, let the maid serve tea, and withdrew herself.
Ye Pei looked at the four walls, there was a row of Nanmu chairs in the hall, there was a rhino skin incense table next to it, there was a Boshan bronze incense burner on the table, there were two mandarin duck water carved lamps next to the table, there were pictures of flowers and birds hanging on the wall, and a Ru kiln flower arrangement was placed on the high table in the corner of the wall, and there were a few hibiscus flowers in full bloom.
A large screen splashing ink landscape blocked the inner room, and Ye Pei also looked at it. There are still guest seats inside, a crystal lamp hangs on the roof, a Ding Qiqi incense burner is placed, a picture of a lady is hung on the wall, a few kinds of literary toys are placed on the Babao grid, and there is a golden silk nan wood carved exquisite bed, and the brocade curtain is hung high.
Ye Pei felt that the furnishings in this prostitute's house were almost the same as those of the palace, and it was really an eye-opener for her to be extremely wealthy.
The four of them drank a cup of tea and found it uninteresting. Wang Junyi said: "Sister Ye, look, we are also here, there is no point here, it is better to go to Daqing Building to listen to books." ”
Ye Pei felt that it was a pity that he didn't see the Oiran lady, but Wang Junyi and the others insisted on leaving, so they gave up.
The four of them walked outside the courtyard, and as soon as they arrived at the courtyard gate, they were greeted by two noble men dressed as literati.
The first person, about forty years old, wears a vertical head, wears an ink-colored wide-sleeved robe, a soap-colored belt around the waist, a white gauze stunka, silk shoes and socks, and a Xichuan fine-colored paper fan in his hand.
The one behind him is younger, wearing a white wide-sleeved shirt and a folding fan, and he is polite, elegant and handsome.
The first person entered the door and said, "Aunt Liu, I made an appointment with Miss Liu today and asked her to help me write the new lyrics." ”
Aunt Liu said: "Master Yan, Wan'er asked us to wait for you in the morning, and she is now waiting for you in the back pavilion." ”
"Hmm." The Yan scholar strode into the backyard.
Ye Pei said to Wang Junyi: "Let's follow him and see?" ”
Wang Junyi said: "Who do you think this person is! ”
Ye Pei said: "How can I recognize it." ”
"He's a Hanlin Scholar, a Bachelor of Yan Shuyan! He entered the test as a prodigy at the age of fourteen, and became a prince at the age of twenty-seven, and became a merry and talented man who is famous in the world with his pearl words! Wang Junyi told eloquently.
Ye Pei nodded and exclaimed: "Oh, you can be a god teacher at such a young age, so you have to see and understand!" Ye Pei's interest changed from going to meet the Oiran lady to following this prodigy emperor.
Yan Shu saw four young men standing in the courtyard, and one of them said his name again and returned the salute.
Wang Junyi saw that he hurriedly stepped forward to salute and said: "Bachelor Yan, the younger generation is polite, my father is Wang Dingguo, who participates in political affairs. ”
Yan Shu listened to it and knew that these sons and brothers had a lot of backgrounds, so he nodded and said, "It turned out to be the son of Prime Minister Wang's family." ”
Ye Pei said, "Master Yan, since you have an appointment with Miss Liu, can we borrow the light to ask for another cup of tea?" ”
"Who is this?"
Wang Junyi said: "This is the son of Ye in the Eight Great Palaces. He also pointed to Lin Zhu and said: "This is Lin Zhu, the son of Dali Siqing." He also pointed to Shao Yingquan and said: "This is Shao Yingquan, the son of Shao Shangshu of the Criminal Department." ”
Yan Shu introduced the young man behind him: "This is this year's spring test Mao Cai Fu Yanguo." ”
A few people met one by one, and Yan Shu said: "Since everyone is destined to meet each other, it is better to meet the master here together." ”
Ye Pei said: "That's very good! ”
Wang Junyi pulled Ye Pei, Ye Pei pretended not to see it, and strode with Yan Shu to the back pavilion.
There is a six-lore pavilion in the backyard, with a tiled roof and wooden oak, which is simple and unconventional. A group of several people went up to the second floor.
The six of them sat down, the maid offered tea, and after waiting for a while, a fair beauty came up from downstairs.
Goose egg face, willow eyebrows, apricot eyes and red lips, skin like coagulation, painted with plum blossom makeup. There is a bun of clouds on his head and a plum hairpin. Dressed in a moon-white bandeau dress, covered with cherry blossom pink gowns, embroidered with red plum blossoms on the edge and skirt, very gorgeous and lovely, holding a phoenix-tailed red sandalwood pipa in his arms.
Women are beautiful, not only about their looks, they are born with a temperament. Ye Pei's heroism, Ding Yuehua's arrogance, the eighth princess's nobility, the domineering spirit of the Queen Mother Liu E, and at this time, Liu Wan'er has a romantic and graceful atmosphere.
Ye Pei saw it and thought: This Oiran lady is really good, no wonder men like it, even he is about to fall for it.
Liu Wan'er went upstairs to salute the six of them, and then said to Yan Shu: "Master Yan, I've kept you waiting." ”
Yan Shu said: "Miss Liu, don't be weird, I met a few guests downstairs, so I invited them upstairs together." ”
Liu Wan'er said: "Looking at the faces of several sons, they are all graceful and elegant, and Wan'er is honored. ”
Liu Wan'er sat on a spring stool, played the pipa lightly, and said, "A few sons are laughing, I'll play a song "Butterfly Loves Flowers" for everyone first. ”
"The six curves are dry and green trees, the willows are light, and the golden wisps are displayed. Who moved the zither to the jade pillar and flew through the curtain and the petrel flew away. The eyes are full of gossamer and flocculent, when the red apricot opens, it rains in a flash. The thick sleep comes to the warbler and whispers, and the frightened dreams are nowhere to be found. ”
Liu Wan'er sang while playing, it was really tactful, and it made people's hearts drunk.
At this moment, it was raining outside the small building, and Ye Pei and the others stood up to enjoy the rain.
Overlooking by the railing, you can faintly see Pengshan, and you can also see the inner courtyard of Donghua Gate when you look back, the green trees outside the window are slender, and the spring flowers are full of flowers, which is really an excellent attic to enjoy the scenery.
Waiting for Liu Wan'er to finish singing, the rich and rich prince said: "This is the words of Master Yan!" ”
Wan'er smiled and nodded.
"Today's scene is very beautiful, this place is really like a place for gods." The rich boy said again.
The multilingual Lin Zhu didn't speak for a long time, and now he couldn't help but say: "Beauty, beautiful scenery, just fine wine!" Ha ha. ”
It just so happened that Aunt Liu came upstairs with a tray and said, "I'm here to deliver this jade pot spring, and now I have beauties, beautiful scenery, and fine wine." ”
A few people looked back and saw that Aunt Liu had already put a Ru kiln azure glazed pot-bellied jade pot spring bottle on the table, with seven azure glazed snail porcelain cups, and sure enough, the wine and utensils were beautiful, and four plates of dried fruits and four plates of candied fruit.
In order to show off in front of Ye Pei, Wang Junyi said quite poetically: "This is really a piece of ice in the jade pot!" ”
The rich boy proposed, "Let's make a rogue order, the Wan'er girl plays the piano, the wine glass is passed to whom, as soon as the song is played, who will draw a order, how about drinking and writing poems and lyrics?" ”
Yan Shu said approvingly: "There are many people today, so it's very good. ”
Liu Wan'er took out a bamboo tube with several bamboo order sticks in it, and several people began to play with the Liuyu order.
A cup was turned, and it was in Ye Pei's hands, and Ye Pei drew lots, which was a "Qingyu Case".
She drank slowly, looked out the window, thought for a while, and came to the desk to write:
"In front of the hall, the wine cup was passed frequently. Yang Liuyi, double Feiyan. Today, Bianjing is halfway through spring. This body is still there, in the depths of the flowers, lonely and lonely. The rain and wind suddenly fell on the red face, and the rows were full of tears. How can I bear to see the residual red incense. Don't wear flowers, don't stop cups, and don't care if you're drunk. ”
Everyone came to see, what a good song! Especially Wang Junyi, thinking that Ye Pei only knew martial arts and knew medical skills, and he didn't want to write another good poem, so he had infinite love in his heart.
Yan Shu said: "What a beautiful son who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade!" ”
Thinking of the many changes that have happened recently, Ye Pei smiled helplessly, "How do I know that I am worried and happy." ”
Liu Wan'er sang another song "Qingyu Case" in Ye Pei's words, and after the song, the wine glass was in Yan Shu's hand, and he stood up and drew lots, which was a song "Huanxi Sha".
"I've always been young and limited. Waiting for leisure and parting is easy to dispel the soul. Wine feasts and songs. The mountains and rivers are empty, and the falling flowers and wind and rain hurt the spring even more. It's better to take pity on the people in front of you. ”
Achieved overnight, it is as chic and natural as falling flowers and flowing water.
Everyone watched, applauded and praised, extraordinary, and another good word!
Yan Shu nodded to Ye Pei, which was regarded as a response to her inner worries.
Wang Junyi said on the side: "It's really better to take pity on the people in front of you!" Come, let's have another drink. ”
Ye Pei raised his glass and saluted Bachelor Yan, sure enough, it was a drinking and fighting poem, and he cherished each other!
The wine glass spread again, this time into the hands of the rich boy. He drank the wine before drawing lots, and it turned out to be a song "Seven Words Quatrain".
I saw that he was also not afraid, and after a little thought, he picked up the pen and wrote in resolute cursive: "The high pavilion is facing the distant mountains, and the rain is not happy." It is planned to eliminate the strong accumulation, but it is a meditative and bitter future. ”
After writing, he gave everyone another glass, and everyone nodded frequently.
After the wine glass passed to Shao Yingquan's hand, he usually danced with guns and sticks, where to make poems, and said: "Master, you have to make a song for me!" ”
Ye Pei smiled and didn't answer, Wang Junyi said: "You don't usually study, but now you think about it, it's annoying Master!" I said 'no' on Master's behalf! ”
The two of them looked at each other angrily, and the others were about to laugh when they saw it.
Liu Wan'er played a round and said: "The two sons don't want to hurt the harmony, how about Wan'er to present an ugly song?" ”
Lin Zhu said: "Miss Liu, don't worry, they are usually like this, they are half a catty and eight taels, and they can't hurt the harmony!" ”
The crowd laughed again.
Liu Wan'er said: "Shao Gongzi draws lots to drink, and I will compose poems." ”
Shao Yingquan said: "Okay! "It was a song called "Lip Tapping".
Wan'er thought about it for a while, and sang while playing, "Lonely and deep, soft intestines are sorrowful." Cherish the spring and go. A few points to urge the rain of flowers. Leaning all over the appendix, but there is no emotion. Where are the people. Even the sky is declining, and the way back is cut off. ”
The crowd applauded again.
Ye Pei couldn't imagine that Liu Wan'er, an official prostitute, was proficient in poetry and songs, she was really a generation of talented women, and the end of the world had fallen! It's a pity to have a little more love for her.
Everyone has done poems, and gradually talked about the broken things in the DPRK and China. Fu Yanguo was very interested in what Ye Pei said about the Liao Kingdom, and asked about Khitan customs and interesting things about Nanjing.
Yan Shu also looked at this Ye Gongzi differently, not as cold-eyed as when he thought he was a gentleman's disciple before.
In this way, it is past the time to push the cup and change the lamp. Yan Shu got up first to say goodbye, and Ye Pei and the others also left the table one after another.
"Miss Zhiliu doesn't leave a late guest, so I'll leave here and make an appointment another day." Yan Shu said.
Liu Wan'er was deeply blessed, "Today's lyrics and songs are enjoyable, and I hope that a few distinguished guests will come to the cold house another day." ”
Shao Yingquan said secretly: "If I make a cold house like this, wouldn't my house be as good as Liuxiang?" ”
Lin Zhu pinched him hard and told him to silence. Shao Yingquan glared at Lin Zhu, playing with each other, but they were also happy.
Several people greeted each other again, and they all left Oiran Liu Wan'er's house.
After Ye Pei came out, he said, "Today is really not in vain! ”
Wang Junyi said: "You have a good time, Ye Gongzi!" ”
"Well, it's a beautiful girl." Ye Peimei said with a smile on his face.
"If you didn't know that you were a woman, you would definitely think that you were the Demon King of Lust!"
Wang Junyi wanted to show off his majesty, and continued: "In the future, I will not allow you to be majestic in front of other men, well, including women, and you will not be able to come to drink or write poetry." ”
Ye Pei was about to say something, when he turned his head and saw a man in black jumping in from the back wall of Liu's house. Ye Pei wondered in his heart, could there be any thief who wanted to do evil to Miss Liu?
Wang Junyi saw that Ye Pei was silent, thinking that his majesty had suppressed her, and proudly wanted to pull Ye Pei's hand, but Ye Pei inadvertently avoided it.
Lin Zhu smiled and said, "You want to lock it up before you pass the door?" Then he said to Ye Pei: "Master, don't marry him at all, come to our mansion, I will never interfere with where you go!" ”
Wang Junyi scolded: "Phew! What lives in your house, you don't want to see my family Pei'er again in the future! ”
A few people made a fuss out of this fireworks willow lane and came to the Eight Kings' Mansion.
was dragged by Wang Junyi, Ye Pei originally wanted to follow the man in black to take a look, but as soon as he was distracted, he was dragged back to the garden by them.
When Wang Junyi and the others saw Ye Pei enter the mansion, they all left with confidence.
