Chapter 143: Peach Blossom Crossing
Mei Ruoyan just smiled and said softly: "Childe is too modest, I think Childe is extraordinary, he must be a person who reads poetry and books, and the little woman still hopes to appreciate Childe's masterpiece." ”
Shao Xi smiled embarrassedly, "The girl is too exalted to me, it's good to be able to talk a few nonsense casually, how dare you call it a masterpiece." ”
Mei Ruoyan didn't say anything more, just turned around and took out a purple bamboo flute from a wooden box, turned her head and said to Shao Xi: "Then please ask Childe to finish the poem before the end of my flute song, and in the future, no matter where the little girl plays this song, it will be accompanied by Childe's verses, and she will not use other people's songs." ”
Shao Xi bowed slightly to Mei Ruoyan and raised her hand to make a "please" gesture.
Mei Ruoyan also smiled indifferently and raised the flute to her lips.
With the melodious and graceful tune, a song slowly blows out from the long flute. The Xiao Qu is low and slow, the meandering environment is elegant, like crying and complaining, there seems to be endless bitterness and sorrow in the sound of the flute, such as the unwillingness and helplessness of all kinds of entanglements hidden in the heart, the person who blows the flute seems to be pouring out the pain of parting with this flute sound, thinking of the people who are far away.
Shao Xi was also stunned when she heard this song, and she couldn't imagine that the Xiao song played by the woman in front of her with picturesque eyebrows and a smile like a flower was so desolate and mournful, and it seemed so incompatible with the festive atmosphere of this Shangyuan Festival, but she didn't know why she wanted to play such a song on such an occasion?
I have to say that sad tunes always move people's hearts. With the sound of the flute, the crowd under the float immediately fell silent, and it seemed that everyone present also heard something from the flute song?
Shao Xi listened to Mei Ruoyan's gentle and mournful flute voice, and couldn't help but feel a little stunned in her heart, and opened her mouth to chant softly:
The rain crosses the Lanzhou, after a thousand miles of smoke and waves.
Last night, the peach blossoms were far away, and the morning came to soak wet.
After this poem was chanted, Shao Xi walked to the bookcase on the float and knelt down, lifted the brush on the case, dipped it in fragrant ink and wrote another poem on top of the brocade.
After the song was played, Mei Ruoyan's eyes seemed to be faintly flashing with tears, I don't know if it was because of the flute that moved her, or because she had an unknown experience, which made the flute sound so moving?
At this time, the crowd in the audience seemed to be infected by this sad music, they were all surprisingly quiet, and they seemed to be still immersed in the sad artistic conception of Xiaoqu just now and couldn't extricate themselves.
After a long time, I don't know who threw a bouquet on the float, and at the same time shouted hoarsely, "Mei Ruoyan!" Mei Ruoyan! ”
Boy! This was the first person to start, and the audience immediately returned to the state of the fryer, countless bouquets flew to the float, and the group of rough men in the audience returned to the previous crazy state, and kept shouting "Mei Ruoyan!" Mei Ruoyan! Mei Ruoyan ......! ”
Shao Xi was taken aback by the inexplicable voice, and said in his heart: "The speed of your emotional transformation is too fast!" People say that madmen are acting, and fools are watching plays, why are all people watching plays like madmen now? Can't there be a normal point? ”
At this time, the up and down of the float are like two worlds, the car is noisy and crazy, but the people in the car are like water.
Putting the flute back into the wooden box, Mei Ruoyan walked in front of Shao Xi and gave a light salute again. Said slowly: "Childe's poem is very good, it fits the music of this, the little woman likes it very much, I wonder if there is a fate to play a song with Childe again in the future?" If the son is willing, the little girl will wait for the son in Mingfengfang. ”
While speaking, Mei Ruoyan took out a wooden card from her waist that was one inch wide and about three inches long and handed it to Shao Xi.
Shao Xi took it in his hand and looked down. The brand is made of mahogany, and there are three small characters written on the front - "Ming Fengfang", and the word "Ennefactor" is written under the book, and the brand is turned over and looked at again, and the back is written with Mei Ruoyan's name.
This thing is called the Enke Order, which is a gift from the Lingfang people to the generous, like-minded regulars as a voucher. With this benefactor's order, when you go to Le Fang again, you will get the priority reception of the servant on the card, and even the servant will refuse the invitation of other guests for the sake of the benefactor who holds this card, just to serve the benefactor.
Shao Xi has never been to Mingfengfang, and he has never seen Mei Ruoyan, so naturally he can't talk about being generous. At this time, the other party gave this benefactor to himself, which means that he feels that he has a heart with him, has a lot of appreciation for himself, and is willing to serve himself without asking about money, which is different from treating other benefactors, which is a recognition of character and talent.
In fact, from a certain point of view, this can be regarded as a reward for this event, but whether this reward is issued or not depends on whether Mei Ruoyan herself is satisfied with the person who boarded the float.
And in this Daliang City, no one has ever received the benefactor order given by Mei Ruoyan, and this gift of the benefactor order to Shao Xi means that as long as Shao Xi goes to Mingfengfang, he will get Mei Ruoyan's special service, which is what many men who are crowded under the float dream of but can't ask for.
Shao Xi saluted Mei Ruoyan and said, "Thank you for the girl's wrong love, I will go to Mingfengfang to visit the girl in the future, and I will accept this sign." In addition, I made a single poem for the girl, even if it is a return gift in the next! ”
As he spoke, Shao Xi turned around and held the Su Jin on the bookcase in his hand and handed it to Mei Ruoyan.
Mei Ruoyan raised her hand to take the Su brocade, looked at the dragon flying and phoenix dancing on the brocade, and couldn't help but nod her head lightly in praise.
After reading it, chant the verses in a soft voice.
In ancient times, parting and mourning, the eyes were vast.
When a flute is heard, the listener also breaks his intestines.
Shao Xi opened his mouth to explain: "I heard that the girl's flute song was sad, although I don't know what the girl had experienced, but from this song, I vainly speculated that the girl must be separated from her relatives and mountains, and she has not seen her for a long time, and her heart is full of longing, so she sends her feelings with the flute, which is so sad and sad." In the following according to the state of this song to write this poem, did not inquire about the girl's meaning, but also asked the girl to forgive the presumptuousness. ”
Hearing Shao Xi's words, Mei Ruoyan showed a slight look of surprise. She couldn't imagine that the person in front of her could perceive the sadness and melancholy in her heart with just a flute song, it seems that this person is not just like ordinary people who only care about their own appearance, but knows how to look inside people's hearts and empathize, such a person is the first time she has met since she was a child. I didn't expect that there are really such empathetic people in this world! Isn't this the confidant I've been looking for?
Mei Ruoyan showed gratitude on her face and gave Shao Xi a salute again.
"Childe's gift is precious, and the little girl will embroider this plain brocade into a brocade handkerchief, and always take it with her, so as not to forget the child's feelings."
Shao Xi felt a little embarrassed for a while when she heard that Mei Ruoyan was going to embroider her poems into a brocade and take them with her every day, after all, she was just doing it casually and didn't think too much, and her unintentional actions made the other party pay so much attention, but her previous actions seemed too casual.
"I feel deeply honored to be treated so kindly by the girl in this casual work, but I just have a word, I don't know if I should say it or not?"
Mei Ruoyan pursed her lips and smiled, "How can Childe be so talented?" Childe is really too modest, since you and I already appreciate each other, what should Childe say. ”
"The girl looks better than Chang'e, and it is naturally a great fortune in life for the girl, but a person is a life, but she wants to be happy in her heart, and everything outside her body is false. Parents are born, thinking about themselves, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, if the good years are spent on this sadness and sadness, it is really a waste of time. In the next courage, I want to persuade the girl to let go of the sorrow and sorrow in her heart, see more of the beauty of this world, and fill her heart with happiness. Life is short for only a hundred years, sorrow is a lifetime, joy is a lifetime, why let your life be spent in misery? I also hope that the girl will smile at the world, even if there are all kinds of unsatisfactory, but also believe that the past has passed after all, and what should have come will come after all, just like after the torrential rain, there will always be a rainbow between heaven and earth. ”
After saying this, Shao Xi saw tears flashing in Mei Ruoyan's eyes, he knew that this girl must have experienced a lot of hardships, after all, there are reasons why she has no choice but to be a servant.
Mei Ruoyan asked with a somewhat solemn face: "Childe is the son of a family?" Childe is filial piety in front of his parents' knees every day? Childe has been well-dressed and carefree since he was a child? If so, can Childe know the suffering of ordinary people like us? How does Childe know that I don't want to laugh at the world and live a happy life? In this bleak world and the impermanence of life, if I have ever had happiness, how can I choose to be sad? In the world, there are too many last resorts. ”
This series of questions is actually the answer, which exhausts all the sadness and unwillingness in this woman's heart. If she has a wealthy family and both parents, if she has not experienced the hardships of life, how can she ask such a question? The world is unfair, even if the world is peaceful and prosperous, there will still be many people struggling at the bottom of the world.
Shao Xi smiled a little bitterly, just because Mei Ruoyan's every question was like a salted knife, poking at his heart at once.
The so-called sons of the family, filial piety in front of their knees, fine clothes and food, and carefree, do not seem to have anything to do with him. In the previous life, his parents were ordinary ordinary people, and they both left him early, and he never met his parents in this life, but he had to bear the burden of revenge.
He didn't enjoy what a son of a family should enjoy for a day, and his parents didn't give him too many opportunities to be filial piety before his knees, as for brocade clothes and food, carefree, it has nothing to do with him. Whether in his previous life or in this life, he has always been the one who struggled for food and clothing at the bottom.
He doesn't know how many people's suffering and even their lives have been exchanged for everything he has now, and he doesn't feel how lucky he is.
On the contrary, these things weigh on his heart, and often make him feel very painful. If he could, he would rather not have everything in front of him, only hoping that those who suffered would not have to bear it anymore, and that those who died could come back to life. But that's all impossible, so he has to live, live well.
Live well for those who have endured suffering and given their lives for their own sake......
