Chapter 157: The Book of Songs (1)
Liu Mang snickered for a while: I have been familiar with the "Book of Songs" since I was a child, and it is impossible for two beauties to pass the test perfunctorily. In just one hour, it is necessary to extract no more than forty chapters of poetry from the entire "Book of Songs" to synthesize a song, including wind, elegance, and song, covering the style of fifteen countries, and it must be connected up and down. Hmph, it's doomed to hold the beauty when the time comes.
Yu Wenxian and the other envoys were also looking forward to it. Although these people do not have the hope of returning to the beauty, it is also exciting to be able to see the stunning characters hidden in the harem. However, this excitement and anticipation came to naught with the sound of the eunuch - the seventeenth princess and Dr. Xin appeared.
It turned out that the seventeenth princess and Zhixin were both young women with noble status raised in the deep palace, and it was impossible to meet strangers casually. Today, although it was necessary to come here in public out of desperation, measures were taken, and both of them wore veils and covered their faces.
Biyu felt an indescribable sense of relief in her heart. Although he couldn't see the faces of the two beautiful women he admired, he would rather do this than let the people he admired be coveted.
Shu Yanzi is different from the envoys of Fanchen, he knows that the courtiers dare not and should not face the princess, and should have avoided it, but he is the chief teacher of music and dance at this conference, so he can only stand in the audience in his own right. Fortunately, both the princess and the doctor were veiled, which made him feel a lot more comfortable.
Xiao Mo ran to the side of the stage in a gust of wind and shouted upwards: "Princess, Dr. Xin, you must defeat them." β
Under the veil, the two beauties nodded slightly.
Xiao Mo was still not at ease: "Dr. Xin, I helped the princess win this game." You don't know, they have increased the ante, and they are betting on the princess's life's events! β
The two of them were on stage, and they didn't know what Xiao Mo meant by chirping wow. They can't be too distracted at the moment, because the two have just joined this poem, and they are not yet familiar with it, and if they are not careful, they may forget it and not be able to connect.
Shu Yan and Biyu also realized this, and stepped forward at the same time: "Xiao Mo, go back quickly, don't interfere with their train of thought." β
The house is full of rich and wealthy people, and many sons of families, all of whom admire here. Zhixin under the veil is like a mountain fog, quiet as water: "The collection of sentences in the Book of Songs, "If you don't think", please advise." β
After reporting the name of the song, the two of them are still in harmony with each other, Zhixin strokes the piano and sings, and the seventeenth princess plays the flute and sings:
Between ten acres, the mulberry is idle.
The gentleman is yangyang, and he is far away.
The woman holds the basket and seeks the soft mulberry.
Reluctantly concentric, its joy is only.
The banquet of the total horn, smiling and smiling.
The sun and the moon are all quiet.
Thinking innocently.
Willing to dream with the son.
Liu Mang couldn't see the angel's face at this time, so he lowered his heart to listen carefully. This poem is an excerpt from the nine Book of Songs, and includes a line from the Ode. "Ode" is the most obscure part of the "Book of Songs", the content is boring, and it is not easy to extract a sentence from it. But he didn't know what Zhixin was thinking, so he couldn't understand the meaning of this que. I don't know why the young woman who lives in the palace can come up with a poem about picking mulberry in the farmland. Well, whatever it is, as long as it is connected. Let's listen down.
The second que should be led by the seventeenth princess, but she is much different from Zhixin in the "Book of Songs", the poems are not familiar enough, and the couplets are all made by Zhixin, and they are from the bottom of Zhixin's heart. So this que is still led by Zhixin:
The peach is dying, and the wowo is dying.
There is a female pregnant spring, because of Weizi.
Words and thoughts are gentlemen, and they are as warm as jade.
Not seen for a day, such as three autumns.
He is a gentleman, is he suitable for me?
Lady and gentleman, Deyin Kong Zhao.
Hello sky!
What is such a beloved?
Biyu was also listening carefully, and heard that this que was selected from eleven articles, including a sentence from "Xiaoya". He knew that this long song must have been composed by the woman of the Shi family whom he admired, but the content made him quite surprised: this song was obviously the emotion of a young girl with a young spring, and it was sincere. But the girl of the Shi family rejected my marriage proposal, could she ...... Someone else you like? Wealthy families, etiquette is very strict, how is this possible?
is thinking, and the third que has been sung on stage:
Follow his grave, follow his micro-line.
Weishi and the woman, Fang Bingxi.
The quail runs, the magpie runs.
Love in the heart, is it not enough?
Hold the hand of the son, and grow old with the son.
Swear by it, don't think about it.
Woman's kindness,
Give them a spoonful of medicine.
At the mention of the word "Ru Tomb", Shu Yan's heart was shocked. The "Ru Tomb" in the original poem does not mean a tomb, but can probably be used as a river embankment of the Ru River. A total of eight articles are selected from this que. The beginning clearly describes a scene of spending the festival by the River Joux. "Fern" means bluegrass. Men and women hold bluegrass in each other's hands and laugh and bless each other. In the middle part, there are more vows of the sea and the mountains. In the end, he gave peonies. In the Shang and Zhou dynasties when this poem was collected, peony was also the same as bluegrass, which was the symbol of the Shangsi Festival. However, there is a parting meaning in this episode. Who is the woman going to part with? Thinking of this, the Shangsi Festival where he and Zhixin said goodbye by the Ru River many years ago clearly appeared in front of him.
- Why is it so coincidental that it is the River Joux? Instead of the Qin River and the Wei River in the original poem? Oh, I see, excerpt couplet poems, you can't add or change a word to the original poem at will, but also take into account the number of words and rhyme, so here must be to have the meaning of conforming to the second sentence "Zunbi Weixing", and the sentence "Zunbi Ru Tomb" was chosen. But what is the woman in the poem going to do next? Let's listen down.
The willows are still around, and the women are in line.
The clouds of the road are far away, and Hu can be determined.
Don't you think? May words be sneezed.
Summer days, winter nights.
Sleepless, sobbing and sloppy.
The first is like a flying canopy, who is suitable for it?
It's gone!
How can I return the moon?
also heard the word "Ru Tomb", which was more shocking than jade than Shu Yan. Because Shu Yan didn't know that this Dr. Xin was not the real daughter of the Shi family. But Biyu knew that she was not from the Shi family, and she also knew that she was from Ruyin.
After singing the second que, I suspected that she had a crush on her, and it turned out that she was not in Jingshi, but in Ruyin. The sentence "women have a line" in the fourth que, the original poem hundreds of years ago originally meant to marry, and here it is extended to the meaning of traveling. It seems to be more relevant to her experience - forced to travel far away, uncertain fate, missing her lover day and night, and always thinking about returning to her hometown.
The first que, the feast of the horns of men and women in the mulberry forest; second, a woman's love for a man; Third, the two sides said goodbye; Fourth, the woman walks far away. This vein is quite consistent with Shu Yan and Zhixin's juvenile trajectories. The difference is that the woman only lost her freedom, while Zhixin died in the river. Butβin my heart, why not treat this Dr. Xin as the Zhixin of the Han family? Biyu thought so. In fact, as early as the moment he proposed to the Shi family, he had this idea, but now it is intensifying.
The fourth que is selected from the content of eleven articles, and the first four ques together are not enough for the number of forty articles, and it seems that there will be the following.
Sure enough, the fifth Que Dao was sung on the stage:
Return! Return!
How is it? How is it?
Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart.
The son of his own sacrificed his life.
If you are in a different room, if you die, you will be in the same hole.
After the age of 100, he returns to his home.
Like the sun,
Death to it!
"Huh. This que is obviously an expression of determination, swearing to Japan, unswerving. I'm really self-inflicted, imagining an irrelevant person as Han Zhixin. But even if Zhixin really comes back to life, what's the use? Still thinking about Shu Yan with all your heart? Although she resented it, Biyu still didn't want to shake this illusion in her heart.
After the fifth is sung, the whole psalm ends. All the people present who knew the "Book of Songs" were deeply impressed by the princess and the doctor in the Jade Leaf Pavilion of the harem, which was really good in color, sound, poetry, and music.
Xiao Mo was overjoyed at this time, walked up to Liu Mang and Yuwen Xi, and said arrogantly: "How is it, Envoy Liu, all your dreams have been shattered, right?" Is it convincing? β
The two became more and more anxious and embarrassed. Because the length is too long, and they are not too good at the "Book of Songs" after all, they gradually can't tell how many articles they have taken from it. I only know that this long song, which runs through and after, is done in one go, completely and implicitly expressing a woman's sincere love and twists and turns of her bleak fate.
They knew that something was wrong, and at this time they were already cold, but they were still not very willing: "The general rules are universal, but it is not known whether it happens to be taken from the forty articles, and whether it covers all the styles of the fifteen countries." β
This made Xiao Mo embarrassed. Because with her level, she only knows that most of these poems have been learned from Shu Yan and are familiar to them, but she can't tell where they come from.
Zhixin knew that Liu Mang was a scoundrel and didn't want to admit defeat, so she wanted to give him a dialectical understanding, but she couldn't put down her body and lost her identity. At this moment, I suddenly heard someone laugh loudly: "Envoy Liu, although you lost, it is not a shame, after all, you have met an extraordinary opponent, but what you said at the end proves that you are not a little different from the princess and the doctor - people have already sung the collection sentences to you clearly, and you can't tell the difference." In this way, you are indeed too far behind the harem women in the Book of Songs! β
How could Zhixin have imagined that the person she dreamed of, the protagonist of a long poem that made her suddenly depressed, was right in front of her eyes! How could Shu Yan know that it was his unmarried wife who stood up to defend him who he missed day and night and thought that heaven and man would be separated forever!
Because of this double accident, this coincidental arrangement given to them by God was completely ignored and missed. Zhixin still lowered her eyes in the veil, empty as water; Shu Yan didn't dare to offend Princess Yan, and turned his back to the table.
"What? Listen to what it means...... Liu Mang listened to Shu Yan's words, his eyes widened, and he said quite angrily, "The whole song has a total of seventy poems, can you tell the source?" β
Some people died, but not completely......
