Chapter 41: A Night of Fish and Dragon Dance (6)
When the woman walked out of the courtyard door to pour water, the lights in front reflected the prosperity of Shangyuan Night. The courtyard behind Jinfeng Tower is not big, but it is considered exquisite. If it were not for the top brass of Jinfeng Tower, they probably would not be able to live in such a courtyard. Today is the Lantern Festival, but such a courtyard is not brightly lit, which is actually quite rare.
In fact, most of the lights in this courtyard were turned off not long ago. It was almost midnight, and there were not many people coming to visit the patient. Nie Yunzhu looked at it and turned back to the room. The owner of the courtyard, Yuan Jin'er, was lying on the bed looking at the oil lamp in a daze, and then smiled at her. Nie Yunzhu also smiled, put his face down, and sat back on the bed.
Logically speaking, Nie Yunzhu should not come here tonight. Although she comes to teach piano every few days, she has already left Jinfeng Tower. She should not be near here, especially at night or on holidays. But this time is an exception. Tonight, I went to the street with Hu Tao to enjoy the lanterns, and then I met a girl from Jinfeng Tower who was studying piano with her. She was coming out to get medicine for Yuan Jin'er who was suffering from the cold. Nie Yunzhu heard this and asked Hu Tao to come and visit. Zhiyuan Jin'er wanted to see her, and since it was getting late, he came in from the back door of Jinfeng Tower.
Yuan Jiner is now the signature of Jinfeng Tower. Although he happened to be sick, it is still difficult to close the door and thank guests on such a day. People have been coming to visit before, and after confirming that Yuan Jiner is really sick, , chatted for a few words before going out. Cao Guan, now known as the most talented man in Jiangning, also came to visit twice. He was drinking and composing poems with a group of talented people outside. When Nie Yunzhu came in, he asked Yuan Jin'er's maid Kuo'er to send in a poem about his illness. Yuan Jin'er had no choice but to accept it with a smile and let Kuan'er go out to thank him.
"Speaking of which, Cao Guan is indeed a man of outstanding literary talent... How about my sister?"
After sending Hu Tao away, indicating that the two sisters wanted to have a private conversation, Yuan Jin'er Showed the poem note to Nie Yunzhu. Nie Yunzhu read it once and put it down. Whether it is Yuan Jin'er or Nie Yunzhu, I have seen many talented people. Although this kind of poems written by hand can show talent and want to be stunning, it is a bit difficult. What I care about is Yuan Jin'er's illness. Yuan Jin'er He smiled and shook his head.
“Actually, the illness is mild, and I will probably be cured after taking one or two pills of medicine. However, because of the cold weather, it happened to be the end of the month, and my whole body was sore and weak, and it was even more difficult to open my mouth to sing. Fortunately, my mother agreed. I'm afraid she'll be in trouble if she blocks some guests for me today."
"Mom's heart is still good." Nie Yunzhu nodded. When there is order and generosity, people have a sense of conscience. If it were in other places, she might not be able to redeem herself. Then she laughed and said something else: "Sister and How is Cao Guan? "Yuan Jin'er has been getting closer to Cao Guan recently, and she knows it to some extent.
"What can I do? It's just the reputation of a talented man and a beautiful woman. Didn't my sister say it? He is talented and learned after all. For Yuan Jin'er, what's the difference between Cao Guan and Li Pin? For Cao Guan For the most part, it doesn’t matter whether it’s Yuan Jin’er or Lu Caicai.”
Yuan Jin'er is younger than Nie Yunzhu, and she is full of energy on weekdays. Her cheerfulness mixed with playfulness is the biggest reason why others like her, but today she seems lazy and discouraged. Nie Yunzhu wiped her face with a towel: "Don't say that. Since he chose you instead of Lu Caicai, he has a better impression of you."
"Jin'er said that he wants to find someone with a family background. Yes, you can raise Jin'er like a pig, hehe, Cao Guan has no money, so he doesn't like it very much."
"If I really raise you into a pig, I'm afraid you will be kicked out immediately." Nie Yunzhu patted her face, "Cao Guan is talented, and it will be no problem for him to go to high school in the future. Do you treat Jin'er like a pig?"
"There are many talented people in the world, just what others call them. Is it so easy for the most talented person in Jiangning to go to high school? What’s more, if your family doesn’t have enough money to support you, and you only get a Jinshi, you have to wait and wait and wait to fill the gap..." Yuan Jin'er lay there and said, Then he pursed his lips and thought for a while, "Sister Yunzhu, tell me, if Jin'er also redeems herself, she will be with you." How about selling those preserved eggs?"
Nie Yunzhu laughed: "Are you crazy?" She came over once in a while and had some conversations with Yuan Jin'er, so Yuan Jin'er also knew that she had done it now. It’s a sesame cake cart, and I’ve been trying to make some preserved eggs recently, but I haven’t seen it yet.
Yuan Jin'er thought for a while and giggled: "No, it's just that Hu Tao is getting married. After she gets married, Sister Yunzhu, you will also feel lonely. It just so happens that Jin'er can also come to accompany you. Sister Yunzhu, please put the pineapple eggs It's said so well, it must be stable Jin'er can rely on the business she has earned."
"I have been thinking about being a pig for others, but now I want to do something. I think it is because I am sick and confused." Nie Yunzhu just laughed. Naturally, I understand what Yuan Jin'er said at this time. I can't count, it's just a whim, "There's no business that is guaranteed to make money. I've just been groping around all day, and I was losing money every day. Besides, I'm afraid it's hard to get married, and if you want to become an old girl, Jin'er should find one." He can raise you like a pig and still love you He must be a great talent..."
"It's quite prestigious to be a female shopkeeper..." Yuan Jin'er said, and then the two of them talked about talented people such as Cao Guan and Li Pin. In fact, there are talented people every year. There are a lot of them every year, and the two of them know a lot of each other. Yuan Jin'er was sick and menstruating at this time, and her mouth was a little bit vicious. Nie Yunzhu was also happy to hear it, and she also talked about Ning Yi during the period.
"That water-melody song has a really good song, but it's a pity that such a person married into a businessman's family, and the words were bought..."
Nie Yunzhu said softly: "You I don’t know Ning Liheng, how do I know he bought it?”
Yuan Jin'er pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister Yunzhu, if you are interested, you can go to the front and listen to the corner. Today, in the Yuan Dynasty, those talented people will definitely talk about it again. I suspect that the word was bought."
On the topic of Ning Yi, these are just a few words. Nie Yunzhu has no idea of saying his own opinion. , Yuan Jin'er just commented casually, and after a while she felt a little tired. Nie Yunzhu came over with a cup and asked her to drink some water: "Have a rest, it's best to get some sleep."
Yuan Jin'er hugged the quilt but didn't sleep. There was a vague sound of a lively banquet outside. Nie Yunzhu sat beside the bed to accompany her, then he took the guqin next to him and put it on his lap. He plucked a few notes and after a while, he sang in a low voice: "Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the grass is green and green... ..." Her voice was light and soft. She just sang slowly and casually, but it gave the whole space an ethereal charm, seeming to cover up the noise outside. In the past, Yuan Jin'er looked over, and Nie Yunzhu looked at her and smiled: "The evening breeze blows the willow flute, and the sunset is outside the mountains."
"Sister Yunzhu, what kind of music is this?"
The sound of the piano sounded slowly, and Nie Yunzhu smiled but did not answer. Soon after, he sang again: "At the end of the sky, in the corner of the earth, my close friends are half scattered..."
This farewell song was the second song given to her by Ning Yi years ago. Nie Yunzhu had been thinking about it recently. When the song was finished, the music sounded for a long time before it stopped.
Yuan Jin'er was puzzled: "It's more like "Ruan Lang Gui", except that the first line of the upper line should be seven characters, and the lower line is a little different. The plain rhyme has become oblique. How can it be like this? ...It's just that Sister Yunzhu's singing is really nice..." She thought for a while and widened her eyes, "Is it just that Sister Yunzhu is studying a new singing method? This is also a bit...well, it should be a game..."
Most of the people Yuan Jin'er comes into contact with are just singers and sound craftsmen. Only Nie Yunzhu has already entered the profession, and may be called a teacher. She is qualified to change her singing style. Of course, it would be difficult for people to accept it, but this is not a public announcement anyway. But even to Yuan Jin'er's ears, it sounded good, but the singing method was indeed too strange. I was surprised for a while, and just thought it was a game, and then I recalled the artistic conception in the lyrics.
"Although it is simple, this sentence has a really good artistic conception. Unfortunately, it is not a composition and can only be called a short sentence. Jin'er is really envious of Sister Yunzhu's talent."
"Fei What I did... Jin'er, don't move around, have a good rest."
"Has Sister Yunzhu met the one you love?"
"Don't think too much, you can't get married."
"Oh, I think it's a girl from a certain family... Well, short sentences like this A game is also like..."
This song "Farewell" actually pays attention to rhyme, but it does not respect the word cards, and it is not a poem. Although the artistic conception sounds good, it can only be called a game. She thought so, and Nie Yunzhu didn't explain much, just smiled and stuffed her into the quilt. At this moment, footsteps sounded outside, but they were Kou'er and Hutao. Kou'er looked a little nervous, holding a piece of poetry in his hand: "Miss, Miss, something unexpected happened. I'm afraid Mr. Cao will lose again this time..."
Nie Yunzhu had not yet When they came over, Kou'er was serving Yuan Jin'er by the bedside, and the master and servant talked about many poems tonight. In terms of quantity, the masterpieces from Lichuan are naturally the most numerous. But personally speaking, Cao Guan performed very well tonight, and several of his masterpieces were praised by others. Li Pin, who went to the banquet in Puyuan, only performed mediocrely. Therefore, in Kou'er's view, many of the poetry gatherings tonight were... I'm afraid Cao Guan's reputation will be confirmed again. However, when he ran in without a clue, it was obvious that something was wrong again. Yuan Jin'er wondered: "What's wrong?"
"There are poems coming over from Puyuan again. This time everyone was frightened. The atmosphere outside is so strange..." Although this time it was not a six-boat gala, the Puyang family's poetry meeting was still called "Shang Yuan Night". Puyuan Poetry Club.
"What happened to the Puyang family...?" Although his future goal is to be treated as a pig, after all, after having been in contact for so long, Yuan Jin'er still hopes that Cao Guan will have a high reputation. Shi took the piece of paper doubtfully.
Nie Yunzhu next to him laughed: "It seems that Master Li Pin can't bear it after all..." It was already shocking that the Puyang family killed a dark horse five months ago. This time It seems that Li Pin, who had been mediocre all night, went crazy and shocked everyone with a masterpiece. This is not surprising. Li Pin's style has always been a bit eccentric, but sometimes it is very surprising.
Hearing what the lady said, Hu Tao looked a little complicated, as if he had something to say and didn't know whether he should say it or not. Kou'er shook his head desperately: "No, no, it's not Mr. Li, it's Ning Yi, Ning Liheng. He composed another Shangyuan poem..."
"Huh?"
Nie Yunzhu was stunned and quickly looked at the paper. Kou'er next to him had already started talking vividly: "It's so interesting outside. I heard that Ning Yi didn't plan to attend the poetry meeting today. He was just seen by someone while shopping, so he was invited up. A large group of People are still making things difficult for him..."
Nie Yunzhu was looking at the lyrics on the paper at this time. Halfway through, he could no longer hear the noise.
She has been interacting with Ning Yi for some time. They did not associate with each other because of their talents, but Nie Yunzhu had always heard about Ning Yi's talents. The two of them never mentioned that they were just studying poetry or anything, and they only interacted as ordinary friends. However, it is impossible to say that Nie Yunzhu had no expectations or doubts in his heart.
For her, there was another side of Ning Yi that she had never seen before.
"The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night. It blows down, and the stars are like rain..."
Yuan Jin'er read it out in a low voice until the last signature:
Su Mansion.
Ning Yi.
Ning Liheng. *****************
It’s dawn and it’s all night again. Everyone, please give me a lot of recommendation votes^_^
