Volume 2: Jiang Nanchun Chapter 114, Night Banquet on the Lake
Hearing Feng Zhengqian's praise, the others also echoed it, and the faces of the three deans became more and more ugly.
However, Tian Zhiyu found a problem, that is, these lyrics are good, but many audiences below can't understand them, and they will applaud and applaud, but they don't know what is being sung on stage.
When Yu Xiao came to the stage, the applause of the audience below was louder, but the beautiful singing section sung by Yu Xiao could not be experienced by the audience, Tian Zhiyu saw that some of the audience had begun to leave.
But Feng Zhengqian was fascinated by it, constantly shaking his head and shaking his head, and his eyes were closed, like an old man listening to the radio.
Tian Zhiyu looked at the three deans again, they could obviously understand, but they didn't have the slightest look of appreciation on their faces, but looked at Yu Xiao with a puzzled expression.
Tian Zhiyu only wrote half of it for them, but this half was enough for them to perform for more than ten hours. Because there was not a long afternoon, and there were other programs, they only performed for more than an hour, about a quarter of what they had choreographed, and finally Yu Xiao took the stage again, said some sorry words, and said that they would continue to perform the rest of the play in Zuixianlou.
Although the audience below didn't understand much, they were still very happy, not to mention anything else, the beautiful appearance of these girls and the colorful dance were enough for them to appreciate.
Hearing Yu Xiao say that the afternoon performance was over, Feng Zhengqian was obviously unsatisfied, and said with a smile: "Such a good show, it's a pity that there is only such a little bit, what kind of enjoyment it would be if you could listen to it in one go." ”
He Anguo, the prefect of Yuhang, also said: "It's really a pity, but it's worth it to see such a performance." The words in it are really well written, especially the allusions are not used in it, but if it is straight, it makes people feel fragrant. ”
The two of them discussed for a while, and Ge Zhihuan finally couldn't help it, and said: "This play is good, but the words are too particular after all, I'm afraid that most of the audience below can't understand it." I still think it's good to be simple and popular, so that ordinary people can enjoy it. ”
Feng Zhengqian smiled: "This old man doesn't dare to agree. This performance has to take care of all the audience, and the songs they sang in front of them are both good and easy to understand, and all the audience can enjoy them. The latter play, not to mention us, I think the vast majority of readers can understand it, and even if ordinary people can't understand it, they can also appreciate the dancing of the girls, and they have a good time. ”
"Yes, this is good art, which can take into account all aspects of the audience," He Anguo also said: "At the beginning, we could listen to those songs, but they were always too plain and intriguing." ”
Seeing the two of them say this, Ge Zhihuan couldn't say anything more, so he had to put aside the topic and chat about something else.
But after waiting for a while, after Miss Chu Chu came on stage, she sang a song of Phoenix Seeking Huang, the lyrics were made up by the three old gentlemen, and the song was also tactfully listened to, and the audience applauded.
Feng Zhengqian didn't say anything this time, just nodded and smiled, and the three deans praised them openly and secretly, but in and out of the words, everyone could hear the sound outside the strings.
By the time night began to fall, the four main stages had finished their performances, and the other smaller ones had long since closed their stalls, except for a lot of spectators who were still lingering around, and the number of people on the streets was gradually decreasing.
Tian Zhiyu was about to say goodbye, but Feng Zhengqian smiled and said: "Zhiyu, I will have a banquet in the Spring Square in the evening, invite everyone to dinner, you and Wu Lihan will go together." ”
Tian Zhiyu hurriedly said: "Uncle Feng, this is not necessary, let's just go out and eat casually." ”
Feng Zhengqian grabbed him and said, "You're welcome, there is no one else at night, besides, I want to talk to you after eating." Let's go, enjoy the night of West Lake, and chat at the same time. ”
After speaking, he didn't wait for Tian Zhiyu to explain, and pulled him out.
Tian Zhiyu had to follow him, and when he got out of the teahouse, he saw that Feng Zhengqian did not go to any restaurant, but a group of people towards the lake, and after walking to the dock, Tian Zhiyu knew that the Spring Square turned out to be a boat.
This boat is really big enough, bigger and more luxurious than the boat that Feng Sigong and the second prince sat on last time. There are not only all kinds of blowing, playing and singing, but also a few girls dancing.
Tian Zhiyu followed Feng Zhengqian inside, and sighed at the extravagance of the life of the powerful as he walked.
When they walked to the banquet room, Tian Zhiyu saw that there were already many people inside, in addition to Feng Zhengkun, Feng Sigong, father and son, and the second prince, as well as the eight young boys and girls who were drinking in his house that day.
Tian Zhiyu didn't like such a grand scene very much, and regretted that he had followed Feng Zhengqian in his heart.
The people in the house saw Feng Zhengqian come in, and except for the second prince, everyone else got up to welcome him. And when they saw Tian Zhiyu behind Feng Zhengqian, except for the second prince's uncertain face, everyone else was also very happy.
"Zhiyu, why did you come here with your uncle?" Feng Sigong hurriedly asked with a smile.
Tian Zhiyu told the experience of the afternoon, Feng Sigong hurriedly pulled him to speak, and after Feng Zhengqian greeted the others, everyone took their seats.
Tian Zhiyu saw that the table in this room was really big enough, with more than twenty people sitting around, and there were still a lot of spare seats.
After the wine and food were served, Feng Zhengqian got up and said: "Today coincides with Qingming, and it is my annual big day in Yuhang, and I am honored to have a good time with you on this bright spring West Lake." You are all important people in Yuhang and have made indelible contributions to the development of Yuhang, so Feng is here, I would like to give you a drink. ”
After saying that, Feng Zhengqian drank it all, and the others also hurriedly followed suit.
Feng Zhengqian continued: "Of course, the most important thing is that one of our distinguished guests," he pointed to the second prince sitting on the main throne, and then said: "The second prince came to Yuhang, and asked and helped Yuhang on many matters, the second prince has been in Yuhang for more than a month, and he will leave for the capital tomorrow, let us have a second glass of wine, thank the second prince, and wish him a smooth journey." ”
Everyone immediately followed Feng Zhengqian to raise a glass to the second prince, and the second prince also bowed to everyone with a spring breeze, and everyone drank the second cup together.
Next, Feng Zhengqian said some more words, and asked the second prince to say some words, the food has not been eaten yet, and the wine has been drunk five or six times, fortunately, there is no strong wine here, otherwise there will be a few people who have drunk too much without waiting for the chopsticks to move.
Thinking of the spirits, Tian Zhiyu involuntarily looked in the direction of Feng Jingnan and Lu Wenshu, it just so happened that both of them were also looking at him, Lu Wenshu was fine, just smiled slightly, Feng Jingnan remembered the troubles that afternoon, and hurriedly avoided them shyly.
All this did not escape the eyes of the second prince, at this time he was a little crying and laughing, thinking in his heart, they wouldn't have anything to do in private, right?
Tian Zhiyu, Tian Zhiyu, where I go, you go with me, you have to mix up with any girl I like, is it true that I, the prince, am vegetarian?
Tian Zhiyu didn't expect the second prince to have such a rich inner activity, and what he didn't know was that a large part of the purpose of the second prince's visit to Yuhang this time was to ask the Feng family for marriage.
After the second prince returned to the capital, he reported to the emperor about the affairs of Yunzhong City and Taiyuan City, of course, many details were changed, and most of the credit was stopped on himself. even mentioned to the emperor that it was his perseverance that left Tian Zhiyu in Dongyang, and praised Tian Zhiyu with the emperor.
Of course, the emperor was very happy, he saw Luo Yuanqiu's urgent secret letter, and saw that Tian Zhiyu was strongly respected in it, so he was very curious about this young man, and when Shi Guangying's report reached him, he wanted to see this Tian Zhiyu even more. The emperor mentioned in his letter to Shi Guangying that he wanted Tian Zhiyu to enter the capital at the right time, and the emperor wanted to meet him in person.
However, when Tian Zhiyu left Taiyuan, the letter had not yet reached Shi Guangying's hands.
The second prince also told his mother the whole thing, and while his mother praised him, she also felt faintly worried. Since the chief and deputy commanders of Cloud City did not express their support for the second prince, the implication was that they still supported the crown prince.
So his mother gave him another idea, asking him to find a way to find a girl from the four major families to propose, no matter which one it is, as long as the other party can allow it, it means that he has the support of the four major families.
And his mother also told the second prince that the emperor's opinions on the four major families are getting deeper and deeper, and the four major families can also feel that if the second prince proposes marriage to a certain family at this time, it is likely to make the family feel goodwill, and regard the second prince as a new backer and fully support it, so that the second prince will have new bargaining chips and a greater chance of winning.
So the second prince took the opportunity to mention it to the emperor, saying that he wanted to marry Feng Jingnan of the Feng family in Jiangnan Province as his wife, and the emperor was not happy, so the second prince said that he wanted to take the opportunity to establish contact with the Feng family, and told the emperor about some of his past behaviors, and the emperor thought for a long time and nodded in agreement.
However, when the second prince came to Jiangnan Road with confidence, lived in Feng's house, and told Old Man Feng about it, Old Man Feng was not only not excited, but said lightly: "This matter, you go and ask Feng Zhengqian, his daughter, I can't make a decision." ”
When the second prince found Feng Zhengqian again, the old fox was even more simply: "Why don't you go and tell Jing Nan about this matter in person, your daughter's marriage, and it is inconvenient for you to be a father to interfere too much." ”
That time, the second prince was completely dumbfounded, he calculated everything, he didn't expect things to come to such a point, the Feng family not only did not thank Dade, but instead commanded his army, making it difficult for him to ride a tiger.
Later, the second prince contacted Feng Jingnan twice in private, and expressed his meaning very vaguely, but he didn't expect that the three generations of the Feng family were more shrewd than the other, and the little girl didn't agree or refuse, but just led the topic to other places, which made the second prince hate it every time he thought about it.
No wonder my father is becoming more and more dissatisfied with the four major families, this group of guys who carry the emperor's grace, when they become emperors in the future, the first one will eradicate the Feng family, the second prince thought hatefully.
However, for the time being, it is still necessary to maintain a semblance of harmony, especially in front of the officials and other guests of Gangnam Province. So he didn't refuse everyone who came to him for a toast, and said a lot of good things.
Even the second prince said a lot of good things to Tian Zhiyu, praising him for his brilliant writing and outstanding performance in the morning football match, so that Tian Zhiyu didn't know for a while whether he really praised or used irony.
Halfway through the wine and food, Feng Zhengqian invited a dancer to help the fun, and invited the singer to sing a little song, and he was happy for a while.
And Tian Zhiyu felt a little surprised, he always felt like there was one less person, and after thinking about it carefully, he found that Lin Zhaoyang, who had always been inseparable from the second prince, didn't know where he went.
Not only now, but when I played football in the morning, there was only the second prince, and I didn't see Lin Zhaoyang.
Tian Zhiyu was a little puzzled, wasn't Lin Zhaoyang here to protect the second prince closely, why wasn't he by his side all day?
He thought of the theft incident again for no reason, he always felt that it might have something to do with Lin Zhaoyang, and he vaguely felt that the second prince had a lot of opinions about him, but he didn't know why the second prince had opinions about him.
At this time, Ge Zhihuan and Huang Rensong's sons also came to him to toast, the two sons lost their temper that time, and they thought about it for a long time after they went back, although it was quite embarrassing, but it was also because of their own lack of strength, so now when they see Tian Zhiyu, they are still quite convinced.
Tian Zhiyu said a few words to them briefly, and seeing that the two sons were still easy-going, he thought that he was much stronger than your father.
After that, several girls also stood up and toasted, first with the second prince, then with Feng Zhengqian and Feng Zhengkun brothers, and then turned down in turn, and finally arrived at Tian Zhiyu and Wu Lihan.
In addition to Feng Jingnan and Lu Wenshu, the other two girls looked at Tian Zhiyu with different expressions in their eyes, laughing stupidly while drinking with him, and Feng Jingnan also looked shy, as if he was still thinking about drinking too much that day.
Lu Wenshu resumed his previous unsmiling attitude, and just chatted with Tian Zhiyu for a few words, and outsiders thought that these two people had met for the first time.
Although the second prince didn't look at all this, he still had a full view, and he saw that Feng Jingnan, who had never smiled with him, was smiling like a flower at this time, and he couldn't help but want to step forward and scold him.
He looked at Lu Wenshu's indifference again, and thought to himself, Miss Lu is still knowledgeable and understands right and wrong, and will not make eye contact with this guy, and suddenly has another idea in his heart, if Miss Feng repeatedly refuses, in fact, the Lu family of Jiannan Province is also a good choice.
