Chapter 37 ** Rhyme on the Qinhuai River (5)
After a pause, Du Gongzi asked someone to ring the gong again, and the field was quiet. Du Gongzi announced: "The following is the election of the young man, there is a talented man in the south of the Yangtze River Gui Zhongming on the field, a medium boat slowly cast, Gui Zhongming Gui Gongzi raised his head and chanted poems, of course, they were all made by himself, the boat returned to its original position in a circle in the middle of the river, and chanted a few poems along the way.
Each boat has several sons, but only one is a talented and good-looking participant, and the others are foils. They also let the boat go through a circle and then return to its original position, when passing through, the candidate boy stood at the bow of the boat, some chanted poems, some made pairs, some played the piano, and some danced the sword. There is a Zhu Gongzi who not only recites poetry, but also plays the piano. Du Yuming Du Gongzi is chanting poetry, playing the piano, and dancing swords, which can be described as versatile.
One by one, the performances are finished, and the beauties here vote for the Pianpian Gongzi, the beauties are discussing, most of the beauties think that Du Dagongzi is elected, and a few say that Zhu Gongzi is also better, and the Oiran Chang Yue'e seems to be absent-minded and does not make a statement, and when the beauties are fighting, a melodious and tactful, soft and lingering, very pleasant flute sounds, swirling over the Qinhuai River. The sound of the flute is not only pleasant to the ear, but also refreshing, the spirit is happy, the noise suddenly stopped, everyone was listening quietly, countless pairs of eyes are looking for the source of the flute sound, but do not know where the sound of the flute comes from. Chang Yue'e, who was standing on the red bow of the boat, saw it, she saw a small boat moving, and there was a boy on the bow who was giving a.
I saw a small painting boat slowly sailing out, and a tall and handsome young man stood at the bow of the boat, holding a jade flute to his lips and playing. It's really a jade tree in the wind. Abundant as jade. Behind him stood several handsome and chic young men. The boat is moving slowly. The beauties were listening intently, looking intently, and their minds were blank. Oiran Chang Yuejiao looked at Zhang Lingyu with a smile, and secretly thought: "Sure enough, he is the best among men, not only is his martial arts unfathomable, handsome and chic, but also versatile. Chang Yue'e thought of this. Hurriedly walked to the guqin and sat down, stretched out the slender ten fingers that looked like green onions and white jade, and plucked the strings slowly, and played with Zhang Lingyu, and the melody of the music added a bit of charm at this time. The ensemble is like a pair of lovers embracing each other in the moonlight, listening to the chirping of insects, saying lingering love words, looking at the starry sky and thinking about a happy and happy life in the future. The audience was also immersed in happiness. The boat also circled like the boat of the beauties, and just reached the bow of the Oiran and Du Gongzi in the middle, and the song ended, but the aftermath was still lingering.
After a while, everyone eased up. The scene was noisy again, and someone sighed: "To say that Chang Yue'e is a combination of all women's advantages." Then this jade flute boy is a combination of all the advantages of beautiful men, and these two people are really a perfect match when they come together. When those sons saw this scene, they were ashamed of themselves, and they were convinced. Many people on both sides of the strait shouted: 'Jade Xiao Gongzi, Pian Pian Gongzi.' Those people kept shouting repeatedly, but they didn't count what they said, the key to speaking was the beauties, and the beauties had just come back to their energies, and they were talking, and Sheng Diao Chan said: "I think this jade flute boy is well-deserved if he is elected as a young man." Bai Peony said peacefully: "Yes, if you don't choose him as a handsome son, others will say that we are two-eyed women." Sai Xishi saw that Chang Yue'e was still in Zhang Lingyu, and said with a smile: "Miss Chang, do you say that this jade flute boy should be elected as a young man." Chang Yue'e smiled: "You see that people are leaving, and they are not here to run for the pianpian son at all, they are just here to have fun." Sai Xi Shi saw that he really wanted to leave, and he was very angry.
She walked to the bow of the boat and asked, 'I said, "I said, this jade flute boy, are you here to run for the title of Pianpian Prince?" Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "I didn't pay a bonus with money, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to run for election." At this time, a group of beautiful women came running, and Bai Peony said: "We don't have a rule that you can't run for election without money, if that's the case, we'd rather not pay a bonus and want you to run." As he spoke, he turned his face to Chang Yue'e and said, "Miss Chang, what do you say?" Chang Yue'e smiled and said, "That's what the white girl said. Sai Si Shi added: 'You don't dislike us and don't want to be with us.' Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "How can it be, all the girls are delicate and moving, and the country is beautiful and fragrant, I'm afraid that my reckless man in the mountains and wilderness is not enough to match." ’
At this time, Du Gongzi felt that the momentum was wrong, so he walked to the bow of the boat and said, "I said that this boy who is playing the flute, please stay." Zhang Lingyu said: "What advice does Du Gongzi have?" Du Gongzi said: "Since Gongzi is here to run for election, he should sign up." Zhang Lingyu said with a smile: "I'm not here to run for election, I'm just here to have a good time, please forgive me if I disturb Du Gongzi." Du Gongzi thought secretly: "You bastard, you have nothing to do here, and you will mess up all the good things of this son, and see how I clean you up in the future." But he said politely: "Childe's words are also bad, we are organizing this event to show the world's talents, but it is not for me Du Yuming personally, why bother to say, I think tonight's handsome son belongs to you, you still have to report a name." Zhang Lingyu said: "What if I don't be a handsome son." Du Gongzi said: "Then not only do you disrespect me, but you are also an insult to the audience." Zhang Lingyu said: "That's the case, you can call me the son of the jade flute." ’
Du Gongzi said: "It turned out to be the jade flute child, you wait a minute, I will ask the beauties about the voting results, if you are really elected, you will perform with the Oiran, I listened to your ensemble just now, it is really a bosom friend." At this time, a boy walked up to him and whispered to him: "Brother Du, I know this son, he is a martial arts master, I saw him beat three Tibetan lamas in Liujiazhuang and walked away, this person's surname is Zhang Lingyu, you have to be careful to deal with it." Du Gongzi whispered: "You said that he is a Jianghu man Weishenme who wants to participate in the game of our literati." The boy smiled and said, "The hero is sad to be a beauty." Du Gongzi said: "I think today is to make the beauty sad to pass the hero level." ’
Du Yuming was angry in his heart and didn't dare to attack, so he pretended to be chic and generous and said to Zhang Lingyu: "It turned out that Zhang Shaoxia arrived, Du felt very honored, and asked Zhang Shaoxia to board the boat for a while." At this moment, a middle-aged woman (she is the old bustard Yunniang of Cuiyun Yuan) stood on the bow of the Oiran and shouted: "Du Gongzi, the beauties on our side voted unanimously, and this Jade Xiao Gongzi is tonight's Pianpian Gongzi." The field was applauded again, and Du Gongzi had an indescribable taste of sourness. (To be continued......)
