Chapter 12: A Pipa
When Huaping and Baili Pingyun said goodbye outside Shikaitu's mansion, they were very reluctant, and they wished they could have a night to sit in front of the chair and talk with the lamp, after all, the two were both teenagers, and the difference was only two years old, so naturally there was a lot more to talk about.

The two of them separated, Baili Pingyun couldn't go far, just around the corner, I found that Qian Mingming was already waiting at the intersection, but because of the special period now, it was inconvenient to wait outside the gate of Shikaitu Mansion, so he was here. Seeing Baili Pingyun, he couldn't bear it at the moment, stepped forward to take a look, and asked, "Pingyun, how have you been these days, haven't you been wronged?"
Baili Pingyun shook his head and said, "I didn't suffer any grievances, but I just wondered why the stone picture said to put me in a cage, but why did he just let me live in the backyard." ”
Qian roared and sneered: "He dares." ”
Baili Pingyun wondered why this stone didn't dare, and Qian Mingming didn't explain, but changed his words, and said with a smile: "My brother received the news last night, saying that you could come back today, so he asked Erwa to wrap up the Yunke Tavern to wash your bad luck, and now it's just in time for lunch." ”
Baili Pingyun muttered in a low voice: "It's not in prison, where does the bad luck come from." ”
Qian roared and laughed: "As long as you stay in the place where the stone opens the map for a long time, you will bring some bad luck", and after speaking, he put his arm around the shoulder of Baili Pingyun: "Let's go." ”
When he arrived at the Yunke Tavern, Zhang Dongen's eyes were sharp, and he saw Qian Mingming and Baili Pingyun from a distance, so he greeted him: "Cousin is here, Staff Officer Han and County Magistrate Naxu have been waiting inside for a long time, so you can serve the food." ”
"You're wrong", Qian Mingming finished speaking, and Zhang Dongen looked puzzled. But he heard Qian roar and continued: "It's not me who is waiting today, it's my younger brother Baili Pingyun, if he doesn't arrive, it's me who comes, and this dish still can't be served." ”
Zhang Dongen suddenly said: "What my cousin said is that this meal was originally prepared for Pingyun, but I was wrong, I will let people go down and carry a jar of wine to accompany me now", Qian Mingxiao patted Zhang Dongen on the shoulder, Zhang Dongen also smiled, and then instructed the guys in the store to go to the wine cellar and take out a jar of good old wine.
Baili Pingyun came to the main table, Han Staff Officer and Zhang Erwa naturally didn't need to be introduced, Baili Pingyun had already known each other, but it was the Xu Huainan that Baili Pingyun had seen that night when he was arrested by Shi Kaitu, and he hadn't known each other, so Qian Hongming introduced it.
"This meal was prepared for my brother when he came out of Shi Kaitu, so let's put down business today, and we will only talk about personal matters. ”
Xu Huainan replied: "It should be like this, if anyone says it, they will be punished with three cups." ”
As soon as Zhang Erwa heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "This is not good, it is a good thing for a long time." If it is said that alcohol is punished, even if everyone is vying to be punished, it is only right to say that there is no wine to eat. ”
Xu Huainan slapped his thigh: "Brother Qian, your brother is right, you should be punished for confiscating wine and eating." ”
As he spoke, the crowd burst into laughter.
It didn't take long for another person to enter the tavern, thinking that everyone was all together, Baili Pingyun turned around and saw that this person was not Liu Xiuniang or who it was.
I saw Liu Xiuniang wearing an embroidered robe, her hair was coiled up, and her slightly thin body looked just right when she wore this dress, and she had a different taste.
This scene happened to be seen by Zhang Erwa on the side, so he laughed and said: "Don't look out your eyes, boy", and then turned his head to look at Xu Huainan: "County Magistrate Xu doesn't know this girl." ”
Seeing Xu Huainan nodded, Zhang Erwa said again: "This has to be said after Pingyun was arrested by Shi Kaitu", and looked at Baili Pingyun with a ridiculous face: "Don't look at this kid honestly, in fact, it's not, a few days after I was arrested, I asked someone to send such a little girl back, why don't I have this blessing." ”
Baili Pingyun's face turned red when he heard this, and Liu Xiuniang, who had just come over, lowered her head in shame when she heard this.
Everyone knows that Baili Pingyun is thin-skinned, and it doesn't matter if he laughs for a few words. Seeing that the food had not been served at this time, Zhang Erwa shouted: "Shopkeeper, why haven't you done it yet, we are all here now, and you also let the cook step up." ”
Zhang Dongen nodded yes and went to the backyard kitchen, presumably to ask the chefs to speed up.
Not long after, there were a few plates of food on the table, as well as a few jars of good wine in the cellar.
There are many bold people on the table, and they are not polite to drink, first order food to fill their stomachs, and then dry down to the big bowl, seeing Baili Pingyun and his own group holding up the big bowl and drinking, Xu Huainan was a little surprised, but he didn't say much, but he didn't expect this sixteen-year-old boy to have such a good amount of alcohol.
Zhang Erwa ate a peanut and said, "You say, is there something missing while drinking wine and eating side dishes?"
"What can this be missing?" asked Baili Pingyun, who was honest, would follow his words.
"Of course, there is no music missing, preferably a girl, and the wine should match the beauty. ”
Qian roared and scolded with a smile: "You second baby, you love to talk nonsense when you drink." ”
"I'm just going to say, don't take it seriously. ”
said unintentionally, the listener was intentional, but saw Liu Xiuniang say: "I learned the pipa for a while in my early years, and I know a few small songs, but I haven't practiced for a long time now. ”
Everyone felt unexpected when they heard it, but they didn't expect that this Liu Xiuniang still knew the rhythm of pipa music.
I thought that no one present would have a pipa at home, but I didn't know that Xu Huainan was not only as good as Han Staff, but also knew a little bit about music, especially fond of collecting musical instruments, so he put a pipa at home, and immediately ordered the subordinates on the table next to him to go back and get it.
After the pipa came, Liu Xiuniang saw that the pipa was of high quality, but she didn't dare to take it, but Xu Huainan smiled and said: "This pipa is for people to play, and it is a waste to put it in my home, but it is just right to lend it to you." ”
Liu Xiuniang didn't shirk anymore, took the pipa, and went to the open space in the tavern to find a chair and sit down.
At this time, everyone at the table drank a lot, and they were already slightly drunk, but when they saw Liu Xiuniang holding the pipa and stepped forward, they all stopped talking and listened.
Fingertips across the strings on the pipa, as if rubbing the green silk, around the hearts of the people in the field, this skill is not the best, but there is a kind of feeling in the song, can bring people's hearts into, a crisp and pleasant pipa sound sounded, Liu Xiuniang also opened her mouth, and sang softly in her silver voice: "Lin Gao Pavilion, the smoke of the mountains and plains is thin." The smoke is thin, and after the crow returns, the twilight sky smells the horns. The broken incense and residual wine are evil, and the west wind urges the sycamore to fall. The sycamore falls, and it is still autumn and lonely. ”
This song is the work of Li Qingzhao, a talented woman in the Song Dynasty, writing the daughter's family's thoughts about her deceased husband, and also writing the tragedy brought by the war.
After listening to this song, Qian Hongming, Xu Huainan and others all sighed, they were already a little drunk, and after listening to this song, they thought of the current foreign invasion, the mountains and rivers were full of lamentation, and then thought of family and friends who were also persecuted by the war, and couldn't help but feel sad.
