Volume 1 Yu Chudu Chapter 44 Singing about Wine
After a while, there was singing in addition to the sound of the piano. The voice is generous and pathetic, showing that the singer is old and serious, and he is full of energy. When I listened carefully, the song sang: "I didn't do anything at the beginning of my life, and after I was born, Han Zuo declined." The heavens are unkind, and the earth is unkind, so I am at this time. The road is in danger, and the people are in exile and mourning together. The smoke and dust cover the wilderness, and the ambition is obedient and righteous. Singing the last two sentences, the voice has changed from sadness to sadness, and the loneliness is overflowing in tone.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but feel it. Zhang Min praised: "This person's heart is about his homeland, he is sad from time to time, and his singing can't help but reveal sadness. If there is chaos today, and the people are in chaos, isn't it just 'smoke and dust covering the wilderness and hulusheng'. Pity the people of my Han family, they were trampled by others for no reason, so they had to cross south in clothes and endure humiliation. At this time, I only heard Liu Bieli cough dryly, and said: "The sage said, 'Repay grievances with virtue, how can you repay virtue?' Since Brother Min has the common people in his heart and can't bear the people to be displaced, why don't he join the army and stop the war with war?" Zhang Min couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this. Yu Wendi hurriedly said: "Liu Gongzi's words are wrong. Brother Min is kind-hearted, and he can't bear the suffering of the people in the world, but he is a piece of benevolence. If he is asked to counter violence with violence, what is the difference between that and the cruel people?" Sima Yunyi also echoed: "Exactly, the world is so chaotic, Brother Zhang Min must not follow Rong. Murong Rongyue nodded secretly when she heard this.
At this time, the singing stopped, but the sound of the piano still came melodiously. It just seems to be more audible than before. I saw Yu Wendi pointing sideways and said, "Look, there is a passenger ship ahead." Presumably, the sound of the piano and the song came from this boat. The people followed her and saw a small boat drifting down the river about half a mile downstream.
Zhang Min heard the meaning of the song very much to his heart, so he loved the house and Wu, and wanted to see the singer. So they turned the bow of the boat and went down the river toward the boat.
In a short time, the boat was only a shot away. Zhang Min stood at the bow of the boat, took a breath, and shouted to the boat: "The Jianghu Shaft takes the liberty to disturb, please give me a look." Listening to the sound of the piano in the boat, a middle-aged man walked out of the canopy, wearing a dark square scarf and coarse linen clothes, with a tall body and a solemn expression. Seeing someone say hello, the man returned the salute and said loudly: "You're polite." When we meet, it is fate. I was courteous under it. As he spoke, he bowed to Zhang Min and the others. Zhang Min also said: "I came from Jizhou, Hebei Province, and wanted to go to Jiangnan to join my relatives." I didn't mean to meet on this big river, but it was providential. If you don't dislike it, sir, please move to our place and talk about it together. I don't know what the respect is?" The man said, "Invite you kindly, dare you disrespect your orders?" After that, he rocked the boat to the side of the big boat, stood at the stern of the boat, with a little right foot, and his body flew up in the air lightly, and in the blink of an eye, he had settled on the big boat. Liu Bieli couldn't help but praise: "Good kung fu." Mr.'s hand is 'soaring' chic and handsome, and his good life is admirable. The man smiled: "It's a little clumsy, let the foot see the smile." Zhang Min said: "Mr. is good at civil and military, respectable and admirable." Come, let's have a few drinks and talk again. Then he asked the man to enter the dock with him.
After everyone sat down, Zhang Min and others recommended themselves one by one. Sima Yunyi took out a jar of pear blossom wine and placed it on the table. Zhang Min opened the wine jar, poured a large glass, put it in front of the man, poured wine with everyone one by one, picked up a glass of wine himself, and said: "Tonight is such a good night, and I have to meet the same people in the rivers and lakes on this big river, which really teaches people to be refreshed and happy." As the saying goes, 'a gentleman is respectful and has no loss, and is courteous and courteous, then all brothers are brothers in the four seas'. Come, let's drink this cup together. They all toasted and drank together. After a glass of wine, Zhang Min said: "The song sung by Mr. Shicai is full of worries about the family and the country, which shows that Mr. is a loyal person who worries about the country and the people." I just don't know what to call it?" The man smiled: "I am wandering the rivers and lakes, wandering all over the world, and I have long looked down on fame, fortune, life and death, and when it comes to worrying about my family and country, I am really elevated." Under the surname Li, the name Xinghe, this song "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" is my favorite work when I was a teenager, and every time I read it, I often feel sad. Later, he fell in love with the clumsy Jing Su family, and accidentally composed this masterpiece into a piano song, and the Yu couple sang the piano and sang harmoniously, and had an epiphany of the truth of the mirror flowers in the world. Although there is no brocade clothes and jade food, the Huawu warm pavilion, but the landscape and pastoral have their own unique rhyme. This Chinese music is not enough for outsiders. He laughed. Zhang Min said: "Mr. Li is extraordinary, and he has broken the world. I am ashamed to be under it, and I am still entangled in mundane affairs. I only hate that this body is not mine, and I don't know when I will be able to be as transcendent as Mr. and forget about the fly camp. Li Xinghe said: "Brother Zhang is too modest. You are all young talents, in their prime, just riding horses and whipping in all directions. Now a cloth cloth, when you know the distance of the rivers and lakes, you are worried about its king, if you serve the country one day, you must know that you are worried about its people when you live in the temple. That's it. When Zhang Min heard this, he said solemnly: "Mr.'s teachings, keep them in mind." Li Xinghe laughed and said, "Brother Zhang doesn't have to be like this. Nowadays, there are not many people who can still care about their homeland. Alas, in my life, there have been many ups and downs, and now I have studied the Tao and the Dharma, and I have no vulgar thoughts. This splendid mountain and river can only be reorganized by you. With that, he raised a large glass of wine, saluted everyone, raised his head and drank it all.
Zhang Min was touched by his free and easy pride, and also respected a few large glasses of wine. Before I knew it, the jar of pear blossom wine had been drunk. Zhang Min said: "Sister Yunyi, please go get some wine again." Let's have a few more drinks with Mr. Li. I saw Sima Yunyi's face crimson, timid, but he didn't get up. It turned out that the wine they brought with them when they set off from Yanwangfu had already been drunk on the way south, and this last jar of pear blossom wine was secretly hidden by Sima Yunyi in case of emergency, and now it has also entered everyone's stomachs.
Li Xinghe saw that Sima Yunyi was quite embarrassed, and he already expected it in his heart. I saw him laugh, stood up and said: "There is a pot of old wine in the boat, although I dare not say that it is a jade liquid, but it is also a high-grade wine." When you meet someone who is destined, you don't dare to hide your selfishness. All the high and virtuous people will come when they go down. With that, he left the dock, rushed to the bow of the ship with a lunge, and in the blink of an eye it had fallen back into the boat.
Zhang Min and the others were sitting in the dock and gossiping, but after half a cup of tea, they only heard a person outside the dock: "All the sages have been waiting for a long time." After speaking, I saw two people outside walking in hand in hand. Zhang Min and the others took a look and saw Li Xinghe holding a large wine jug in one hand and a beautiful woman in the other. The woman was no more than thirty years old, but she had a beautiful face and a graceful figure, like a girl. When the woman saw that everyone was looking at her in amazement, she couldn't help but bow her head and bend her knees to bend her knees and bless everyone.
