Chapter 26: Diving
(Author: Ask for collection, ask for recommendation.) )
"Okay, I promise you. But what if you can't? Gao Liang asked in a deep voice.
"I couldn't do it, so I jumped down and swam to shore." Xu Changting said happily.
"It's a deal!"
"It's hard to chase a horse!"
Today's unhappiness obviously made Gao Liang and Xu Changting get together.
Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou immediately spoke out to stop it, but Xu Changting was determined to fight Gao Liang to the end.
How could the two sisters not know what their brother was?
Since he was a child, he was frail and stupid, and his family never invited him to read Mr. Reading, and he originally planned to ask him to teach him to read and write after arriving in Xining, but this guy either pretended to be sick or pretended to be stupid every day.
So later, because of the distress of her mother and Xu Changhong, this matter was over.
It can be seen that "a loving mother is a loser"!
And now Xu Changting is ashamed to say that he wants to compose poetry! This...... Isn't that a joke?
Gao Ke looked at the Xu family sisters who looked nervous, and also frowned slightly, others such as Gao Liang and a few people next to him, at this time, seeing that Xu Changting had completely taken the bait, they instantly smiled, and waited to watch the show.
Pei Murong frowned, what was happening now was not what she could have expected, and what was even more unexpected was that she wanted to get as far away from Xu Changting as possible, but who knew that now it was the opposite, not only sitting together, but also in the same boat...... Or, now, it has become a grasshopper on a rope, and it has lost everything.
"Ding......." With a bang, Fu Liu no longer gave Xu Changting and Pei Murong a chance to repent, and his fingers plucked the strings, causing the others in the cabin led by Gao Liang to immediately applaud loudly.
Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou looked at Xu Changting with a worried expression, while Gao Ke looked at Xu Changhong with some concern, wanting to open his mouth to be relieved, but he didn't know what to say for a while.
"Miss Xu, don't worry, if you want to be a brother later...... I'll do it for him, and I'll never let him actually jump ship and swim ashore. Gao Liang is also messing around, don't worry, I will definitely reprimand him when I go back. Gao Ke said to Xu Changhong.
Xu Changhong squeezed out a smile on his face: "Thank you Gao Gongzi." ”
It's just that Xu Changhong's eyes didn't look at Gao Ke, but kept looking at Xu Changting, who was whispering to Pei Murong after making a bet with others.
The cabin resounded with Fuliu's rather ethereal singing: the peach is dying, scorching its .......
"Miss Pei, is it possible that as long as you rhyme neatly, you can sing it?" Xu Changting asked.
Pei Murong's heroic eyebrows were full of worry at this time, hearing Xu Changting's question, and then unconsciously glanced at Fuliu, who had already sang, nodded and said: "Childe, I can't think of a good poem with the theme of peach blossom for a while, I'm afraid it will affect Childe." If it really doesn't work, I'll jump ship with my son ...... then. ”
"No, we don't need to be martyred." Xu Changting refused very straightly, and then when Pei Murong frowned, he continued: "I just looked at the peach blossoms over there, didn't I just happen to get a song by chance, why don't you see if you can sing it?" ”
Pei Murong continued to frown, Xu Changting Wen Zou Zou's words made her a little uncomfortable, but looking at the seriousness on that pale face, Pei Murong didn't know for a while whether what this guy said was fake or true.
But he still responded: "If the poem rhymes neatly, it shouldn't be a problem." ”
"Oh, so good, so good." Xu Changting began to pose like an old pedant, how did Pei Murong look awkward.
At this time, Fuliu had already sung more than half of it, and many people in the cabin were also attracted by its yellow warbler-like singing, especially the demeanor of the small jasper, coupled with the artistic conception of Taoyao's poems, it was indeed for Fuliu to sing the heart and hope of a woman to be married.
Gao Liang has a strong confidence in Fuliu singing Taoyao, after all, when he was in Lixue Pavilion, he had an impulse to marry a wife because of Fuliu singing Taoyao, so he spent a lot of money to redeem Fuliu and raised him in his own house.
Even if I have heard it many times, I can't get tired of hearing it every time I highlight it.
The rest of the people, such as Gao Ke, Changsun Xing, etc., were also deeply intoxicated by Fuliu's singing at this time, and Gao Ke even looked at Xu Changhong next to him from time to time, and the admiration in his eyes was even a little scorching.
But fortunately, when Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou were shocked by Fuliu's singing, their deep worries and attention were on Xu Changting, and they didn't care about Gao Ke's scorching gaze at all.
As the sound of the pipa gradually faded away like flowing water, and the yellow warbler of Fuliu gradually faded away, Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou had not yet taken their attention away from Xu Changting's body.
"Master Xu, it's your turn, are you writing a poem, or do you just let Miss Pei sing it?" A bright and smug voice drew everyone's attention back.
Pei Murong still didn't think of a poem suitable for the topic of peach blossom at this time, and after hearing Gao Liang's words, he couldn't help but look at Xu Changting next to him.
Xu Changhong and Xu Wenrou were even more nervous and their little hands were clenched into fists, and their palms were full of fine sweat at the moment, and the back of their white hands was in Gao Ke's eyes, but how much they wanted to hold it in their palms, and then comforted them.
Xu Changting saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him, and with the hot water on the table, he slowly walked to the window, outside is the Tianwang Lake full of rippling blue waves and cruise boats, and further away is a place full of peach blossoms on the shore, a pavilion stands in the middle, with a rare pastoral artistic conception.
"Gift...... How about Pei Murong's visit to Tianwang Lake? Or is it more appropriate to remember the highlight jumping boat tour of Tianwang Lake? Xu Changting turned around in front of the window with a teacup, leaning against the window and looking at the people in the cabin.
When Pei Murong heard that Pei Murong was traveling to Tianwang Lake, his heart jumped for no reason, and he even didn't dare to look at Xu Changting, and Gao Liang sneered after hearing Xu Changting's sarcasm: "Young Master Xu, it is not certain that you and I will jump ship." By the way, don't blame me for not reminding you, my eldest brother is a full reader of poetry and especially loves poetry, so don't think you can easily fool the past. ”
As soon as Gao Liang's words came out, Xu Changhong looked at Gao Ke with some surprise, and Gao Ke said in a low voice: "Yes, I did have such a mind just now, but Gao Liang obviously expected it a long time ago." ”
Xu Changhong didn't speak, his eyes looked at Xu Changting again, his slender figure leaned in front of the window, dressed in green clothes and looked quite free, holding a cup of hot water in one hand, his eyes were lowered, and he was a little melancholy: "In this door last year, the peach blossoms on the human face were red. The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. ”
The cabin fell silent instantly, and even the faint sound of the piano in the corner, which had always set off the atmosphere, suddenly seemed to become sad.
The smile on Gao Liang's face was instantly sluggish, he really hadn't heard of this poem, and when he looked at Fuliu, he saw that Fuliu was also shaking his head solemnly, so he couldn't help but look at Gao Ke. After all, if there are people who talk about learning and poetry, Gao Ke knows the most.
"Last year, in this door today, the peach blossoms on the human face were red. The face of the person does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling in the spring breeze. Gao Ke read the poem Xu Changting had just written in a daze, and then shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Why can't I think of such a beautiful poem." ”
This poem reminded Gao Ke of his state of mind when he first arrived at Tianwang Lake today, even if there were many women singing and dancing in the cabin, even if Changsun Xing told him that he had invited Oiran Pei Murong today, but Gao Ke had always thought about the woman surnamed Xu who had met in Xining last year.
Now that I pinch my fingers, it seems that it will be almost a whole year, and the poem Xu Changting wrote just now is not the sad state of mind on the boat when I haven't seen Xu Changhong today?
"Big brother......." Gao Liang's voice was a little dry, and the few people next to him were at a loss at this time, obviously not reading materials at home, and they were still in a state of ignorance at the moment.
Gao Ke took a deep breath, looked at Gao Liang and said a little lonely: "I really haven't heard this poem before. ”
Pei Murong has been reminiscing about this short poem, and I have to say that compared to Tao Yaolai just now, this poem is indeed not far behind, and even has to go to a higher level in terms of mood.
And she thought about it several times, and she couldn't remember that she had heard this poem before.
"I'm afraid you didn't buy this poem with money, right? This is not only difficult for us to believe, but also difficult to convince the public. The man next to Gao Liang, who was still embarrassed, looked at Gao Liang with an embarrassed face, and said again: "Otherwise, if you make another song, I will believe it, and if you win, I will also jump off the boat, how about it?" ”
"Lu Fengyuan, I am willing to gamble and lose, now that Xu Gongzi has already made a song, not to mention that I haven't even heard of it, why can't I say that he made it? As for highlighting, have you heard it before? Gao Ke looked at Gao Liang and asked.
Gao Liang didn't seem to be surprised that Gao Ke's elbow turned out, but Xu Changhong was a little surprised, she didn't expect Gao Ke to favor them at this time.
"Big brother, I'm naturally willing to gamble and lose. But a poem can't make me admit defeat, just like Feng Yuan said just now, what if he bought it? As long as he can make one, without the eldest brother's words, I immediately turned around and jumped out of the window. Gao Liang got up and pointed to the window where Xu Changting was standing.
"I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin, Gao Liang, I admire your courage to hold on, but I admire my own talent even more. Today, you are jumping on this boat. Xu Changting turned his head, glanced at the rippling blue waves behind him, and the cruise ship full of painting boats, then looked back at Gao Liang and said: "I will let the painting boat follow you all the time, watch you swim to the shore in the lake, and never let other cruise ships have a chance to help." ”
"Really? Then let me highlight your poetic talent. Gao Liang said with a sneer.
At this time, Xu Wenrou's heart was full of joy and apprehension, happy that his younger brother really made a good poem, and was worried that his younger brother could make a good poem next, can he completely vent his anger and come out for Xu Changhong?
"Miss Pei, remember it, don't let others take the lead, lest you run out of your brains and come up with a poem about peach blossoms." At this time, Pei Murong's eyes looked at him a lot brighter, as if they were ...... It seems to have some little stars to worship.
"Peach blossom hermitage in Peach Blossom Dock, peach blossom fairy in peach blossom hermitage. The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees and picked peach blossoms for wine money. When you wake up, you only come to sit in front of the flowers, and when you are drunk, you come to sleep with the flowers. Half-awake and half-drunk, day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year. I hope that the old man will die in the wine room, and he will not bow in front of the carriage and horse. The dust of the car is full of fun, and the wine cup is poor and cheap. If you compare the rich with the poor, one on the flat earth and the other in the heavens. If the flowers and wine are compared to the chariots and horses, he has to drive and I have to ......be idle. Thinking of this, Xu Changting's eyes looked at the people in the cabin.
Gao Liang's expression was uncertain, the man named Lu Fengyuan on the side had a big mouth, and the eldest Sun Xing was also full of shock, and the expression of the little jasper was even more mixed.
Xu Wenrou's face was full of excitement, one hand was shaking Xu Changhong's hand excitedly at this time, Xu Changhong was full of relief, and his gentle eyes never left Xu Changting.
And Gao Ke was savoring the poems read by Xu Changting, and his face was also full of surprise: I couldn't imagine that poetry could be written like this, and I couldn't imagine that a person could be so free and easy in poetry.
"Anything else?" Pei Murong's eyes were a little urgent, and he looked at Xu Changting with some unfinished eyes.
It was almost her talent as an Oiran and her intuition as a woman that Pei Murong didn't think that this poem would stop abruptly here.
"People laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it...... I don't see the tomb of Wuling Haojie, and there are no flowers...... No alcohol...... Hoe the field. Xu Changting said lightly, and then looked at Gao Liang, whose face was becoming more and more embarrassed: "Please, this Gao Gongzi." ”
"Impossible, how can one person write two poems in a row in such a short time." Gao Liang shook his head and questioned.
Xu Changting ignored Gao Liang's question, but looked at Lu Fengyuan: "What about you?" Jump along, right? It's hard to chase a gentleman, right? ”
"Boy, do you know who we are?" Lu Fengyuan obviously didn't want to jump, not to mention that this time was just after Qingming, although the weather was warm, but the water of Tianwang Lake came from the Hupao Spring on Shengfeng Mountain, jumping in at this time, even if you don't die, you have to take off a layer of skin, and a gust of wind and cold is definitely inevitable.
Lu Fengyuan, whose expression was gradually gloomy, began to move out of his family background to deter Xu Changting.
Gao Ke also got up at the right time to play a round: "Young Master Xu, I think it's better to ...... it." ”
And Xu Changting didn't give him a chance to continue at all, and shouted coldly: "Evil, do it." ”
As Xu Changting's words landed, and then turned around to give up the window position, he saw that Evil Lai had already walked to Gao Liang, and without waiting for Gao Liang to speak, he grabbed Gao Liang's neck like lifting a little chick, and threw him out directly from the window.
There was a loud coughing cry for help from outside the cabin, followed by the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.
Lu Fengyuan still wanted to run at this time, but Huo Nuer snorted, and grabbed his neck from behind, and then the whole person was lifted, holding Lu Fengyuan's neck with one hand, and pinching Lu Fengyuan's two struggling legs with the other, and threw it directly from the window.
"Xu Changting......." Gao Ke got up a little angrily, and just as he reached his mouth, he was interrupted by another sound of falling water.
Xu Changhong, who was next to him, got up slowly at this time, saluted Gao Ke, who was frowning, thanked him for today's invitation, and then walked out with Xu Wenrou and Xu Changting.
Pei Murong sat in her seat all the time, chanting this poem in her mouth, and the shock in her heart made her immerse herself in the artistic conception of the poem, ignoring what was happening around her.
