Chapter Eighty-Eight: Poetry Skewers
Zhu Youxiao nodded, he was also very curious about the prestigious Xu Ji, and he was also looking forward to "Guanyin Dance".
There are many famous names under the Ming Dynasty's teaching workshop... Prostitute, widely known... Prostitutes include Zhang Xiao'e, Yang Yuxiang, Xu Ji, Zhang Chuyu, Wang Xiaoyi, Ge Yufang, Wang Saiyu, etc.
These names... Prostitutes not only have excellent skills, but their personalities are also unique and different.
For example, Zhang Chuyu likes to socialize with like-minded people; Xu Ji is good at writing poetry and is famous for her euphemistic verses;
The silk shoes worn by Wang Saiyu are only three inches long, and they are known as "shoe cups"; Yang Yuxiang is famous for her elegant and solitary personality, and it is not a legend that it is difficult to buy a smile.
Zhang Xiao'e's dancing style is better than that of court dancers, and it is claimed that she can make Xu Jinghong's "Guanyin Dance" and Wan Huaer's "Good Talent Dance" completely useless.
Concubine Wang Liang had also heard of Xu Ji's name, and said with a smile: "The concubine heard that Xu Ji came from the fourteenth floor of Nanjing, and she is not only good at dancing, but also good at poetry!" ”
Poetry?! Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "It's better to play a little game like this, and it won't be used as a poem, how about we piece together the verses?" ”
Zhang Yan blinked and said with a smile: "Piecing together verses? It's new. ”
Zhu Youxiao coughed dryly and said: "Sentence to sentence, it can't be the original poem, see who spells naturally, there is no sense of disobedience." ”
Discord?! Everyone was circled and looked at the emperor in unison.
"I'll give you an example." Zhu Youxiao saw Wang Tiqian leading Xu Ji, pressed his hand down, motioned to wait for a while, and said: "Persuade you to drink a glass of wine, and sell eternal sorrow with you." ”
Well?! Everyone was stunned, this sounds really natural and harmonious, without that, that sense of disobedience.
Zhu Youxiao looked at everyone's expressions, couldn't help but smile, and said, "Seamless, perfect, right?" ”
Zhang Yan came back to her senses, covered her mouth and smiled, and said: "Long live the quick thinking, and the concubines admire it." ”
"Brother Huang, you can say one more!" Xiaoliu Zhu Huijing's eyes lit up, and she thought this was fun, but she still didn't understand the essentials.
Zhu Youxiao nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll say one more, and you guys should think about it." Well said, I'm rewarded! ”
After pondering for a while, the emperor said: "I don't know what to do, I go deep, then decline, and then exhaust." ”
This one? The crowd again circled and looked at the emperor.
"The concubine is stupid, and she doesn't know where this word comes from?" Duan Chunfei frowned slightly and asked, "I don't know what to do, I go deep." Hooray, who wrote these words? ”
Who wrote it, how do I know? It's just a skewering of poems I saw on the Internet in my previous life, and I memorized a few of them casually.
Zhu Youxiao blinked his eyes and said, "I was supposed to test you, and I will tell you the answer without asking others?" ”
Concubine Duan Chun turned her inquiring gaze to everyone present one by one, but she waited for Zhang Yan and Concubine Wang Liang for a long time, and the others quickly moved away.
Zhang Yuer is from all backgrounds, how much ink can he have? Three princesses and a snack merchant, and how much poetry she reads?
Zhu Youxiao's eyes were keen, but he saw that Xu Ji, who was bowing and waiting, was slightly different, and his lips opened silently a few times.
"Xu Ji." Zhu Youxiao said in a deep voice: "On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, Shu celebrates with the people. If you answer, I will be rewarded. ”
Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, looked up at the emperor and immediately lowered his head, paused for a long time, and then replied gently: "Long live back, I don't know what to do, and I go deep." It is a poem in Tang Xianzu's "Dream of the Peony Pavilion". ”
It turned out to be a poem in the legendary script, and Tang Xianzu is not too famous, no wonder I don't know the source!
Zhu Youxiao bowed his head, raised his hand and said: "Good answer, it is the poem in the legendary script." Well, reward. ”
"Slave and maid, long live the reward." Xu Ji knelt down and thanked him.
Concubine Duan Chun breathed a sigh of relief, since it was a legendary script, not a famous poem, no wonder she didn't know it.
Zhang Yan said with a smile: "Long live, since Xu Ji has been summoned, let's watch "Guanyin Dance" first, and then come to the couplet to spell the poem, okay?" ”
Zhu Youxiao nodded in agreement, Xu Ji stepped back to make some preparations, stepped forward and started to perform.
In the Ming Dynasty, the "Guanyin Dance", also known as the "Bodhisattva Dance", was a dance often performed during banquets in the noble houses of Beijing and Nanjing.
Later, it was often seen at folk festivals, grand singing and dancing events, and street parades.
I saw Xu Ji dressed up as Guanyin, with a bowl on her forehead, two bowls in her hand, and dancing with knots. The dance is graceful, but the bowl does not fall, a bit like an acrobatic mixed dance.
"It's more wonderful than the concubines who have seen it." Concubine Duan Chun seemed to think of the performance she saw when she was not in the palace, and said with some emotion: "It is famous, but it is much more superb than the skills of folk kabuki." ”
Concubine Wang Liang agreed: "I heard that they have all worked hard since childhood, and they are extraordinary. ”
Seeing the emperor's gaze, Zhang Yan shook her head with a smile and said, "But the concubine is the first time to see it, and it's a wonderful performance!" ”
Zhang Yuer couldn't take her eyes off it, she didn't need to ask, she could see it for the first time.
Although she has been promoted to a concubine, she is still a little inferior to her background. He spoke very little and behaved in a low-key manner, just looking at the emperor's gaze from time to time, full of tenderness.
"Reward!" Zhu Youxiao once again gave full play to the essence of a local tyrant, and it is not enough to describe him as the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.
"Long live the reward." Xu Ji thanked again and bowed back.
The fifth princess and the sixth princess exchanged words, and then Xiao Wu raised his hand towards Zhu Youxiao and said, "Brother Huang, I thought of a couplet poem. ”
"Tell me about it." Zhu Youxiao smiled and encouraged: "If it's good or not, I will be rewarded." ”
The fifth princess, Zhu Huiyan, smiled and said, "Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, no one knows that it is lychee." Brother Huang, do you think you are doing a good job? ”
"Okay, the fifth sister spells the rhyme, it sounds like the original poem." Zhu Youxiao praised it, and waved his hand to signal that the palace people had taken the prize, which was a string of pearl necklaces.
The sixth princess giggled and said, "Brother Huang, I also have a good poem, listen, look up to the sky and laugh and go out, and the iron horse glacier falls into a dream." ”
That's fine! Zhu Youxiao tasted it, nodded with a smile, and gave out the prize after praising it as well.
Xiao Hachi's eyes were greedy, blinking, thinking for a long time, as if he had found some tricks.
But before she could speak, Concubine Duan Chun smiled and said: "Long live, the concubine is lazy, and casually said: Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, and the water of the Yellow River will come up from the sky." ”
This is a bit opportunistic, right? Zhu Youxiao looked at Concubine Duan Chun and grinned, waving his hand to hand out the prize. Your own daughter-in-law can't be stingy, this is called fertilizer and water not flowing into outsiders' fields.
The eighth princess, Zhu Huiyuan, was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, Brother Huang, I also have a good poem." Look up to the sky and laugh and go out, and the daughter will come back after being scattered. ”
You-Zhu Youxiao couldn't cry or laugh a little, but looking at the eighth sister's eyes, he didn't say anything, and the award was given.
