Chapter 66: What is Love?
After this battle, the Song army seemed to be frightened, and no one came to pursue it.
After entering Xinyang City, the two walked along the street in the city, the pedestrians in the city were originally bustling, and the people who came and went were all eyes lit up when they saw Li Mochou, but then they saw the fierce and vicious Qian Qingjian, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to look at it anymore.
Li Mochou looked at the scenery along the street, only to feel that there was novelty everywhere, there were also some literati and ink writers in this city, with turbans and robes, and elegant manners. provoked Qian Qingjian to remind again and again: "Duan Yu is like this." ”
Whenever this happens, Li Mochou always retracts his gaze, but he is very puzzled in his heart, is it possible that any man who dresses like this will be unhappy?
In fact, although Qian Qingjian's statement has an ulterior purpose, it is really not wrong, how can a scholar or a rich boy in this era marry a wife and grow old together? On the contrary, three wives and four concubines, and groups of wives and concubines account for the vast majority, as for liking the new and hating the old, sleeping in flowers and willows, that is a very normal thing.
Qian Qingjian didn't care if this was true or not, as long as those men looked at Li Mochou one more time, his eyes would be covered by a snowy giant axe, and the bloodshot and bloody smell on the giant axe reminded men to abide by the basic etiquette of the Song Dynasty - "Don't look at incivility." ”
Although the literati of the Song Dynasty were very awesome, above the court, in front of the emperor, they dared to pull the beard of the military generals and beat them, but when they met a ruthless person like Qian Qingjian on the street, they were very knowledgeable, and the so-called gentleman did not suffer immediate losses. Are they really bloody?
It is said that the reason why the Song Dynasty could not defeat the Liao State, the Jin State, and the Mongolia State was because of the existence of these literati. They don't learn advanced scientific knowledge, but they all learn a belly full of poor sour and bad water, the better ones waste their lives and waste their food, and the bad ones study politics and ponder the whole person.
And when the Liao State learned the culture of the Song Dynasty, it was destroyed by the Jin State. After learning the culture of the Song Dynasty, the Jin Kingdom was destroyed by the Mongols. In the end, Mongolia did not escape the influence of the Song Dynasty culture, and was destroyed by the Ming Dynasty.
The reason for this is that the Song Dynasty's style of study was not correct, abandoning the essence and taking the dross. As a result, the more you learn, the more corrupt you become, and the more you learn, the more you scum. The so-called Xiucai rebellion has not been successful for ten years. If Xiucai is in power, he will destroy the country sooner or later.
The two walked along the street for a long time and found a magnificent Dexin restaurant.
This restaurant is a two-story structure, there are dining rooms on the upper and lower floors, the dining room is open and bright, and there are several cylindrical pillars supported by green paint in the middle.
When the diners in the hall saw these two coming, they couldn't help but be attracted by Li Mochou's appearance, but they were frightened by Qian Qingjian's gaze, and they all lowered their heads, and the originally noisy restaurant was silent for a while.
Qian Qingjian looked left and right, and saw that there was a vacant seat on the street on the first floor, so he led Li Mochou over, and when he was about to sit down, Xiao Er hurriedly ran over and stopped: "Guest officer, someone here has booked a ......."
"Oh?" Qian Qingjian turned to look at Li Mochou and said, "Either let's go upstairs?"
"Okay, upstairs to see farther away. Li Mochou replied with a smile.
Who knew that Xiao Er said again: "Guest officer, I'm really sorry, there is already a VIP bag upstairs, and you two can't go up." ”
Qian Qingjian was unhappy, but he didn't want to go to the second floor to make trouble, so he only looked for a suitable table on the first floor with a gloomy face. The little second saw that the evil god who was carrying the axe was unhappy, and he was also scared in his heart, so he lowered his voice and explained: "The small shop is also impossible, the above is the lord of the royal family, and the table by the window on this floor is booked ......by the beggars."
"Huh?" As soon as Qian Qingjian heard the second half of the sentence, the fire came up, he was about to settle accounts with the beggar gang, there is no enemy, Elder Peng, it all makes him hate it so much, since this table was set by the beggar gang, what else is polite?
He laughed and said to Li Mochou: "Sister, let's just sit on the table of the beggars, Xiao Er, don't be verbose, pick the best dishes and wine and send them up, say more, I'll chop you!"
Xiao Er just wanted to dissuade him, but when he saw that the giant axe was already hanging over his head, he was so frightened that he went away, and he really didn't say a word.
After a while, Xiao Er had already brought a four-color cold dish up, and brought a jar of good wine, and the money filled Li Mochou with a glass, and then poured her own cup full, and when she looked at Li Mochou again, she was looking at a passing scholar in the middle of the street, "Ahem, Sister Mochou, brother toasts you." ”
Li Mochou turned his head, smiled, raised his glass and said, "Brother Qian, little sister respects you." ”
Qian Qingjian drank the wine dry in one gulp, thinking to himself, there is no recipe for this Yin and Yang Hesan, it is really sad.
Suddenly, a pipa sound sounded in the restaurant, and he listened to it, and then there were three or two sounds, as if the player was adjusting the timbre, and then the syllables converged into a stream, and the tune was completed. Li Mochou also put down his wine glass and looked towards the stairs.
The voice really came from upstairs, and with the sound of the pipa, another female voice sang:
"Ask the world, what is love, the direct religion of life and death? Happy and fun, parting bitter, there are even more crazy children. You should have a saying, thousands of miles of stratus clouds, thousands of mountains and twilight snow, who does the shadow go to?
Hengfen Road, lonely when the drums, the smoke is still flat. The soul is a little more groaning, and the mountain ghosts are crying in the wind. The sky is also jealous, and the warblers and swallows are all loess. Through the ages, in order to stay for the people, he sang and drank wildly, and visited Yanqiu. ”
This female voice sounds round and jade, and the words are clear, but what she sings is "Touching the Fish? Yanqiu Ci" made by the Jin poet Yuan Haowen when he was 16 years old, which has already swept the song stage and dance pavilion in the Northern Jin and Southern Song Dynasty at this time.
After a song upstairs, there was no sound, and when Qian Qingjian looked at Li Mochou again, he found that she had listened to it stupidly. But I heard an old man at the next table sigh softly: "It's been seventeen years since this word was made, but now it still sounds so impressive. ”
Qian Qingjian said that the age of this song is the same as Li Mochou, which shows that this song has a great fate with her.
Only a moment later, a singer came down from upstairs, holding a pipa in her arms, standing at the top of the stairs and asking, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you want to listen to the music?"
The singer asked everyone, and more than half of the guests looked at Qian Qingjian, who was sitting here like a fierce god, and no one dared to give money in a chic manner.
Li Mochou suddenly woke up from his obsession and beckoned to the singer: "This sister, please come and talk, I want to learn this song from you, I wonder if you can teach me?"
Qian Qingjian's heart moved, it turned out that the song that Li Mochou often sang in his memory was actually learned in this way.
The singer immediately came over and said, "I don't know how long you have to study, sister...... and then the singer saw Qian Qingjian and the big axe on the table, and immediately stopped talking.
Qian Qingjian laughed, took out a big silver ingot and put it on the table, and said, "It's okay, learn this ingot of silver first, if it's not enough, I still have it here." ”
Li Mochou also smiled: "Sister, if you sing it again, I'll be the same." ”
The singer sat down on a stool at their table, plucked the strings, and sang again.
After singing again, Li Mochou said, "Just ask my sister to play the piano, can I try to sing it again?"
Without waiting for the singer to speak, Qian Qingjian had already waved his hand: "No!"
Li Mochou was surprised: "Why not?"
Qian Qingjian pointed to the people in the dining room and said, "You sing, a song is worth 10,000 taels of silver, how can you let these people listen to it?"
Suddenly, a voice said, "What a joke! Where is there such an expensive singer?, why haven't I heard of it?" Before the words were finished, a group of gorgeously dressed beggars walked in from the door.
