Chapter 334: Jiangnan on the night of Qixi Festival
Shao Xi turned his head to follow the prestige, and saw a blue-clothed man at the next table getting up and walking towards him.
This person is dressed in a light blue brocade robe, with a thin and tall figure, a handsome face, gentle eyes, a long body, a high spirit, a cold demeanor, Qiong Pei Shanshan.
There is a jade flute inserted in his waist, and the bright yellow tassels are swaying to show that he is walking leisurely.
Shao Xi secretly sighed in his heart, what a Zhilan jade tree, a handsome son with a cold moon and pine.
This person slowly came to Shao Xi, bowed down and said hello, gentle and polite, it was "a gentleman of words, gentle as jade".
Seeing this, Shao Xi hurriedly got up and returned the salute, also showing a gentle and elegant attitude.
"Under the surname Ruan, the name is Haoyang, I heard that the son is a poem with wine, the interest is quite strong, and the artistic conception is elegant, I can't help but say a good sentence for a while, and I ask the son to forgive me for the presumptuousness."
Shao Xi shook the folding fan in his hand, and although he was slightly drunk, he replied with a smile on his face: "Under the surname Shao, the name Xi, the Xi, the morning Xi, this brother is too famous, but he just used the wine to recite two sentences, it is really not elegant, let the brother Tai see the smile!" The watch brother is also alone, why don't you come over and drink with the same table below? ”
Ruan Haoyang arched his hand and replied: "I also have this intention in the next, just waiting for the son to invite, but the son is just casually chanting, which is really a bit too modest. ”
"Oh? What did Brother Ruan hear? Let's listen to it and see if it coincides with the following. ”
Ruan Haoyang did not rush to answer Shao Xi's question, but turned around and moved the wine and food on his table to Shao Xi's table, raised his hand and compared it to the seat opposite, meaning that the two sat down and chatted slowly.
Shao Xi was not polite, closed the folding fan in his hand, and sat in his place with a touch of his robe. After Ruan Haoyang sat down, he picked up the wine cup in his hand and toasted Shao Xi.
After the two drank all the wine in the cup, Ruan Haoyang said: "Shao Gongzi's poem is to express the feeling of happiness in his heart after drinking through the scene in front of him, which shows that Shao Gongzi is in a very good mood and is in excellent interest at the moment, so it is a beautiful thing in his eyes." The best part lies in the poem's first couplet and neck couplet, and the words between the jaw couplet and the tail couplet correspond to each other into two-word words, and all these words have the meaning of lofty, elegant, clear and beautiful, which is really whimsical and wonderful. ”
When Shao Xi heard Ruan Haoyang's words, he couldn't help but smile, he really didn't expect that the other party would discover these little ingenuity hidden in his poem in a moment.
"I don't know that Brother Ruan is a person from the rivers and lakes? Do you know about this matter? ”
Ruan Haoyang was stunned for a moment when asked by Shao Xi, and then said with a smile: "Although I am not a person from the rivers and lakes, I have also heard a little about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, I don't know what Shao Gongzi means by this?" ”
"If Brother Ruan has heard of the seven sons of the Tang Sect, he will know that this poem is made in the name of these seven people, in fact, he is not familiar with these seven people, but he thinks that the seven words Qing, Feng, Ming, Yue, Drunk, Qiong, and Lou are really good, and it happens that the name of this wine shop is Mengyuxuan, so he will use it for the time being."
Listening to Shao Xi's explanation, Ruan Haoyang suddenly realized that he was wonderful again and again.
"It's wonderful! The rumored seven sons of the Tang Sect on the rivers and lakes have also heard of it below, and the poem about them on the rivers and lakes has also been heard below, but I can't imagine that Shao Gongzi also borrowed their names, plus the word Mengyu, he actually made such a lofty artistic conception and elegant poems, which I admire! ”
"Huh——! Brother Ruan is really a false praise, today coincides with the night of Qixi Festival, and the scenery in front of him is excellent, occasionally sighing and chanting two sentences at will is really not worth mentioning, Brother Ruan should not praise it anymore. ”
Ruan Haoyang smiled heartily, picked up the wine cup and drank it with Shao Xi again.
At this time, there was a light rain outside without warning, and the rain in the south of the Yangtze River in June and July was always very much.
People seem to have become accustomed to this kind of weather, and even some people walk in the rain without hurrying, but more people are holding up oil-paper umbrellas, but they still don't want to give up the beautiful scenery of Zhiqiu Lake.
Looking at the night outside the window, Shao Xi asked Ruan Haoyang inexplicably, "Why is a handsome man like Brother Ruan, who looks better than Pan An, drinking alone in the wine shop on this Qixi night?" It is said that even if people like Brother Ruan are not surrounded by beautiful women, at least they have confidants to accompany them. ”
Ruan Haoyang was a little embarrassed by Shao Xi's words, and raised his hand to point to a painting boat on Zhiqiu Lake outside the window.
Shao Gongzi smiled, there was indeed a confidante named Ye Zhiqiu, who was worshipping the Weaver Girl on the painting boat at this time. Today is the festival of begging, women always like to get together, men like you and me have to hide in this wine shop to drink alone, after a group of their little sisters swim in the lake, they will accompany her back to the Zhiqiu Pavilion on the other side of the lake, and then they will not be able to accompany Shao Gongzi to drink here! ”
"Sister-in-law's name is also Zhiqiu? Today, when I came down to this Zhiqiu Town, the word Zhiqiu was about to fill my ears, but I don't know what the relationship between my sister-in-law's Zhiqiu and this Zhiqiu Lake is? ”
Ruan Haoyang hesitated slightly, and finally raised his head and said to Shao Xi: "Don't hide it from Shao Gongzi, Zai Xia is not a native of this Zhiqiu Town, but only came here a few years ago, and Zhiqiu She grew up on this Zhiqiu Lake since she was a child, and she originally had a solid family. A few years ago, Zhiqiu's house broke into bandits, a family was slaughtered, only Zhiqiu she escaped alone, and she happened to pass by here at that time to save her, she was grateful for the grace of saving her life and decided to make a promise, I also stayed in this Zhiqiu town to do some small business, and now life is passable. It's just that she was humiliated by that group of bandits back then, and she has been refusing to agree to this marriage, so I didn't force it, and besides, I was originally a wanderer, and I didn't want to affect her in some things. ”
Shao Xi was a little surprised in his heart, how could this Ruan Haoyang be so blunt about such a private matter with himself, a person he met for the first time?
And he had said before that he was not a person from the rivers and lakes, but at this time, he said that he had wandered the rivers and lakes, and he didn't want to involve Ye Zhiqiu, could it be that this person was also a big thief back then, and he was chased and killed by the enemy and fled here?
This kind of thing is not surprising, some people will get tired of being in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and want to quit the rivers and lakes to live the life of ordinary people, but there will be grievances when walking the rivers and lakes, and there will be enemies if there are grievances, how easy is it to quit the rivers and lakes?
Isn't Gao Guang, who assassinated himself in the first place, this kind of person? Fortunately, I met myself, if someone else failed to assassinate him, even if he didn't lose his life, I am afraid that he would be hunted down and killed all year round, how could he withdraw from the rivers and lakes to get rid of these grievances?
If this Ruan Haoyang was indeed a person from the rivers and lakes, then he could explain why he was so straightforward when talking to himself, and he could also tell him bluntly about things that were extremely obscure to ordinary people.
This is the arrogant temperament that people in the rivers and lakes have cultivated all year round, even if they are gentle and elegant on the outside, the pride in the bones is difficult to eliminate for a while.
While Shao Xi was pondering these messy things, Ruan Haoyang proposed to let Shao Xi write another poem, and he used the jade flute on his waist to play a song to cheer up.
Shao Xi saw that Ruan Haoyang's interest was so high, and he didn't want to spoil the fun, so he agreed.
Ruan Haoyang stood up, took out the jade flute from his waist and put it to his mouth and played it gently, only to hear the melodious, tactful and clear sound of the flute, which was incomparably in line with the beautiful scenery outside the window.
With this clear sound and elegant rhyme, Shao Xi shook the folding fan in his hand, sat in front of the window and looked at the scenery on the Zhiqiu Lake and the bluestone road wet by the drizzle, and said leisurely:
The moonlight is like a drunken night, and Jiaolian sleeps lightly in the mist
Under the stone bridge, the boat is still in the clear water, and the stars are scattered among the sparkling waves
The water kneaded the moon and shattered, like a white bi falling from the sky
The night fire on the side of the canopy is faint
The evening singing is sad, and the tears are haggard
The girl of the ferry family has her own natural softness
The wind is slow, the drizzle is falling, and the eaves of the bluestone alley are crisp
The cicadas on the sycamore ceased, and the cooking stove in front of the wine shop gradually boiled
Drinking slightly drunk, it seems to be accompanied by Qiong'e Yao Pool
Alone Yi Xuan holds the cup
Carved altar warm wine, drunk before drinking
Sigh only sigh that there is no green clothes to meet tonight
Jiangnan smoke and rain, Zeng Qiaotou drunk
The ancient charm of the south of the Yangtze River and the beauty of the moonlight
The memory of Jiangnan is like a light boat nap
Jiangnan is sad and weeping like a drizzle
On the night of Tanabata, it rains in the south of the Yangtze River
Alone opposite
It is not so much that Shao Xi is chanting poetry, it is better to say that he is spontaneous and chanting.
After drinking all the wine in the cup, Shao Xi closed his eyes and continued to enjoy Ruan Haoyang's flute, and it was not until the melodious tune was over that he opened his eyes to look at Ruan Haoyang.
After grinning "hehe", he teased: "Brother Ruan's flute music is melodious and tactful, and the affection is lingering, it doesn't seem to be blown to me, but it seems to be blown to the people in the painting boat on the lake. ”
Ruan Haoyang smiled silently, just quietly looked out the window at the painting boat on Zhiqiu Lake, and seemed to have a thousand words in his heart, but they were only expressed by the sound of the flute.
At this moment, Shao Xi seemed to understand why Ruan Haoyang would tell Ye Zhiqiu's suffering to himself, thinking that when he walked the rivers and lakes, everything could only be hidden in his heart, and when he came to Zhiqiu Town to meet Ye Zhiqiu, Ye Zhiqiu could only confide in him about those sufferings.
But he had to bury everything that happened to him and Ye Zhiqiu deep in his heart and bear it alone, and the feeling of having everything in his heart for a long time and not being able to tell it was very painful.
Today, maybe it's because of the strength of wine, or because he feels that he is a person who is destined for him, so he doesn't vomit unpleasantly, it seems that he was also a ill-fated and suffering person in the past, right?
Thinking of this, Shao Xi filled the wine cups of both sides again, and raised the wine cup to toast Ruan Haoyang.
After drinking with Shao Xi, Ruan Haoyang put down the wine cup in his hand and said to Shao Xi: "It's rare that I and Shao Gongzi are so in love, why don't I take a partial boat tomorrow to pick up Shao Gongzi and go back to Zhiqiu Pavilion to introduce Zhiqiu and you to know, wouldn't it be nice for the two of us to chant poems and drink together?" ”
"Brother Ruan has this Yaxing, and my brother should accompany him, so it's decided, I'll wait for Brother Ruan to pick me up on the shore tomorrow, and we'll see you there!"
