Volume 2 People in the Years of the Rivers and Lakes Chapter 53 For the king
Today's Liangxia is very happy, even if the weather is gloomy, it is difficult to hide the joy in his heart.
It is said that the long-term drought and rain in other places are the four major happy events, and Liangxia feels that there are two more to add: crown ceremony and propose.
The crown ceremony is still a trivial matter, just a formality. The proposal made him can't help but be overjoyed when he thinks about it, and he is happy in his heart to the bronze mirror and the old mother at home is dressed up.
The petite figure of my cousin, who grew up together since childhood, is like the soft appearance of the age of a dancing spoon, and I swallow and salivate when I think of it.
Bad taste? No, no, no, it seems that Liangxia has such a small porcelain doll-like daughter-in-law is also a kind of show-off.
As soon as the hour came, Liangxia couldn't wait to urge his father and mother to hurry up. Of course, it will not be in a hurry to be crowned, and his anxiety is naturally the proposal after the ceremony.
went to the small courtyard he hadn't been to for a long time, and got married to his sister who he loved since childhood.
Connecting the Ping, this piece is said to be nearly 100 acres of platform blasted out by the thunder in ancient times, smooth and smooth like a knife and axe, here in the previous dynasty watershed water village just built when it was used as some ceremonial venues, such as the banquet in the New Year's Festival, or the feast to be celebrated every time a major event is celebrated.
It's a pleasure to have a blast in this open-air venue.
Since the beginning of the year, dozens of round tables have been arranged neatly, and the red silk surrounds the entire site.
At this time, on this natural platform, which has won the work of heaven and earth, people are crowded one after another, and the crowds are not lively.
Over there is the noise of gongs and drums, the sound of suona in the ears, the firecrackers here are ringing in unison, the sound of coaxing is endless, the noise is boiling, and it is a bustling scene.
On the wooden platform that was only built yesterday, the middle respects the heaven and the earth, the two sides worship the gods, the high tripod is in the center, the incense burner is accompanied, and the light smoke of three four-foot incense candles curls up, straight to the sky.
A group of Confucian masters in white Confucian clothes, holding a thousand-year-old "Book of Rites", stood solemnly on both sides. Standing among them is a Confucian master who is said to have been invited by Yanzhou, a guest thousands of miles away, with a silver beard and eyebrows, but the natural Haoran scholarly anger is definitely not something that ordinary teachers can have.
From the beginning, Liangxia impatiently whispered urging the old man who couldn't open his eyes in his opinion to read the same complicated praise text faster, and quite impatiently rushed to the teacher who didn't know where his father invited him to add a cloth crown, a leather book, and a knight, and in those big Confucians, he shook his head and sighed and said, "The son can't be taught", and the crooked scarf and oblique hat hurriedly stepped down, even so, it was from the end of the Chen to the end of the time, so that Liangxia only secretly scolded in his heart that the crowning ceremony that had been passed down for thousands of years was really cumbersome.
If it weren't for Liangxiake to grab this shameful son, I'm afraid that Liangxia would have forgotten about the Liguan banquet.
Liguan banquet to feast guests, to put it bluntly, the father introduced all his connections to his son, after all, the son is an adult, and he can bear the big and small affairs in the family with him, and let his guests and friends know that his son has the ability to take over Lao Tzu's class.
But at the moment, Liangxia's performance is really a bit faceless.
"If you are so frizzy and don't look like an adult, I will lock you up for one month after the ceremony!" Unlike his younger brother, who was sick and tormented by his thin body and weak body, Liangxia was strong, with a full beard and a rough appearance, but he really looked like a thief who cut the path and snatched it. The son was so careless and rude in front of his relatives and friends, and a good crowning ceremony made him make a joke like diarrhea and anxious to go to the toilet.
Liangxia was really afraid that his father would confine him up, and now he was only by his father's side, and his mother dressed him properly, and then followed behind his father listlessly greeting those visitors.
After turning around, Liangxia suddenly found that he didn't see his second uncle's family, and his mind moved again, and he quietly asked his father: "Where is my second uncle and second aunt?" ”
Liangxia is smart, he doesn't mention the person he thinks in his heart, but asks his uncle and aunt who know that he will never appear here.
How could Liang Xiake not know what his son thought when he was a child, who had not learned and had no skills, squinted at his son who loved to play tricks, and said, "I want to call your second uncle and them?" ”
Liangxia nodded for a while.
Liang Xia Ke knew the inner entanglement between the two families that was not humane to outsiders, how could these juniors understand the depths, and just snorted coldly: "Stay here honestly, if you dare to run around, you will break your dog's legs!" ”
Liangxia suddenly lost his spirit.
In the end, it was a few catties of meat that fell from her body, Liangxia's mother, the woman who was dressed today and couldn't tell her age, saw her son look so sad from the bottom of her heart, and couldn't help but say: "Doesn't the child just want to see Chun'er, he can't help here, let him go and see what's wrong?" ”
Liang Xiake looked at his wife, who was not as good as his younger siblings, and looked at his son who was like a frosted eggplant, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Go and go back quickly." After speaking, he greeted several old friends who came over, and ignored the two behind him.
Liangxia was overjoyed, and he didn't say hello to his mother who helped him talk softly, and trotted to the side courtyard.
When Liangxia arrived at the small courtyard of the second uncle's house, what he saw was Liangchun standing in front of the hall with the second aunt, and a good-looking girl sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard holding a box.
Liangxia was surprised that the second uncle was drinking.
I have never heard my father mention that my second uncle's stubborn illness is the most taboo to drink, what is wrong today?
"Second uncle, second aunt." Although subtly influenced by Liangxia's guests, Liangxia had no feelings for the two elders, the second uncle and the second aunt, but Liangchun was in front of him, and Liangxia still called out politely.
Thinking that it was also because he hadn't drunk alcohol for many years, Liang Xiabin's sickly pale face was slightly reddened, and he turned his head to look at the visitor. On weekdays, how could he not know what Liangxia thought about him, this kid didn't learn anything else, and learned his father's eyes and low skills, and everyone in the village felt that it was his family's blessing, and he really felt that he was a character.
Liang Xiabin didn't care about himself, and Liangxia wouldn't be bored, he looked at his sister who was a few months older than him, smiled all over his face, and said, "Sister Hongyao, why don't you go to my coronation ceremony?" ”
Liangchun, who knew what was going to happen next, looked at Liangxia, turned his head to look at his father, who had already gotten up, and didn't speak.
Liangxia tightened his thick cloak and ignored Liangxia, but he seemed to be answering Liangxia and said, "Let's go over now." ”
Liangxia couldn't see the second uncle's strange appearance, his face was happy, and he didn't ask the identity of the strange man and woman in the courtyard, and said: "That's it, drinking here is not as lively as the Liguan banquet." "After speaking, the bento will lead the way.
Out of the square of the Liangjia mansion, there are dozens of stone steps, because of the shade, the heavy snow has not melted a few days ago, covering both sides of the road. Liangxia is in the front, Liangxia is in the back, and then Li Guanyin, Liangchun, and Yesan led Ye Yao at the end, and a line of seven people went to the lead.
Naturally, their arrival did not cause much splash, even if the real protagonist of this grand event is here, but there are some people on the ping, who is coming for him?
Liangxia didn't care about this, he opened the way first and led the second uncle's family to the main table at the front.
He can't wait to let everyone know his future lady after the wine and food are served for a while.
It's just that the six people behind him didn't follow Liangxia after the first Liangxiabin stopped first.
"The Third Son." Liang Xiabin did not look back, and called softly at the very edge of this buzzing reception.
Directly hidden in the human voice.
But the third watch of the night responded at the next moment, "I'm here." ”
Liang Xia bin lined up the crowd and moved forward.
"Someone playing the piano?" Ye Yao, who has very good ears, suddenly spoke, and his ears swayed to the sound.
Li Guanyin, who was closest to him, watched his father-in-law leave, not knowing whether to follow or stay where he was, and when he heard Ye Yao's question, he said absentmindedly: "In order to show off, the eldest brother in the family specially invited musicians from outside the mountain to set off the atmosphere at this coronation ceremony. ”
Ye Yao dragged the wooden box behind him, rubbed his hands, and faced the night watch.
Naturally, Ye San, who understood his sister's thoughts, looked at the good guests in front of him who only cared about moving forward and ignored the few people behind him, and said after a little hesitation: "Okay." ”
Ye Yao's mind is so meticulous, listening to his brother's chatting with Liangxiabin in that small courtyard, he can guess his brother's plan, raise his hand to hold Li Guanyin, and said with a smile: "Sister Guanyin, how about listening to me play a song for you?" ”
Li Guanyin looked at her husband, who had walked a distance in front of her, and then looked at Yeyao, which was quite difficult. However, Liang Chun, who had been judging the two of them very well and obediently from this day to Yamashita on this day, showed a smile that had not appeared since yesterday afternoon, and said happily: "Okay, okay, I haven't been to the city outside the mountain to listen to people play music in the past few months, I think about it." At the moment, he pushed his mother and urged the two sisters and brothers to find the musicians from outside the mountain.
"Take care of my mother."
The sound is like mosquitoes and flies, and it is even more inaudible in this noisy leading area, but it really falls on the ears of the third watch of the night.
Ye San turned his head to look at Liangchun, who was still heartless, tiptoeing around looking for the position of the band.
Li Guanyin had no choice, so she let her daughter hold her hand and drifted away from her father-in-law in the opposite direction.
In the face of these uninvited people, the head of the musician will not disobey, after all, looking at the behavior of these people in front of them, they must be either rich or expensive, and on this leading ping, who knows which young master and young lady it is, the musician can't afford to mess with it.
The crowd on the floor was buzzing, and naturally no one would pay attention to the vocal music that suddenly stopped here.
"Chime, gonghou, guzheng, pipa, erhu, flute, which one to play?" Ye Sangen asked.
"Will you do any of these?" Ryotsubak was surprised.
Li Guanyin said on the side: "Miss Yeer is a well-known eight-talented woman in Kyushu, how can there be no reason. ”
Ye Yaoer smiled, happily accepted the other party's praise, and said: "Xiao and Gong Hou are both mouthparts, too dirty. The chimes are too big for me to play. The voice of the erhu is too depressing, but it is not suitable for the coming-of-age ceremony of the son of Liangxia, and if the pipa is used, I haven't played it for a long time, for fear of making people laugh, so there is only the guzheng. ”
Ye San helped his sister sit down behind the zither, and Ye Ya raised his hand to stroke the twenty-one string piano known as "Zheng Zhongshu Dao", but he thought in his heart that he had not touched this thing for more than three years.
The reason why the guzheng has the title of "Shu Road in Zheng" is entirely because it is the most difficult to practice, just like the Shu Road that is difficult to go to the blue sky. From the earliest thirteen strings to sixteen strings and eighteen strings, and then improved by Zheng Yin, the master of the former dynasty, and then added five ranges, there is now the most popular 23-string zither. Between this more than one inch of fingers, don't say that the blind night is far away, even those well-known pianists in Kyushu have to devote themselves to it so that it is not easy to make mistakes, and the night is easy to choose the most difficult instrument directly, and Li Guanyin, who has a rough rhythm, is also impressed.
Moving his fingers, Ye Yao unloaded the wooden box and stood beside him, put on the prosthetic armor handed over by his younger brother, and didn't know who he was asking, "What do you want to hear?" ”
"Mountains and rivers." Liangchun replied first.
Ye Yiyi smiled coincidentally, "Where can I find a bosom friend to sing peace with me?" Why don't I choose a song myself? ”
Liangchun pursed his lips, as if he was very dissatisfied that this seemingly powerful blind luthier did not accept his advice.
Ye Yaoer held down the strings with both hands, from beginning to end from top to bottom to familiarize himself with the length of the strings from the zither box, and groped to adjust the goose pillar. ”
How could the sound overshadow the chatter and jokes of more than 100 people on this connecting floor?
The strings were tightened, and with a "bang" sound between letting go, the silver bottle was broken, and the jade beads fell on the plate.
"The night family and the night three asked me, where is the good brother?"
The mountain wind pressed down on the boiling voices, and the instantaneous silence of the guide was echoed by the sound of a tremor.
"The watershed Liang Jialiang's guests repeatedly kowtowed to Xie Ye's second miss and the third son's face, and dared to invite his brother Liang to come forward to accept the guilt."
There are crows and sparrows on the leading flat passing and back, an acre of square circle, cloudy, windless, dead and silent.
