Chapter 8 Moonlight Boating 2
A quarter of the time passed by another quarter of an hour.
Suddenly, the neon lights around the cruise ship and the dim yellow lights in the banquet hall went out, leaving only the neon lights around the stage, brightly lit up...
In the small world in the dark, two women in blue, wearing buns and the same satin cheongsam, were very eye-catching. Tingting walked to the middle of the stage. They owed to the crowd. One sat in front of the guzheng in one corner of the stage, and the other sat in the other corner with a pipa in his arms, and began to play a song "Spring River Flower Moon Night".
Although it is early summer, the wind at night is still a little cool, especially the full moon in the sky, hanging flawlessly, reflected in the lake, flashing rounds of halos. Through the open window, look at the light in the distance, as if it is dotted on the top of the mountain or at the end of a tall building.
In such a night, there is no dark silence, only the sound of string music flowing like running water, coming slowly from far and near, which can't help but give birth to a trace of tenderness in people's hearts and gradually intoxicated.
Everyone was listening to this song, and another figure came out of the screen. She covered her face with a layer of pink and purple gauze scarf, and the crimson ribbons that kept dancing flexibly in her hands wrapped into countless floating circles under the light, turning into beautiful bubbles, floating in the colorful neon lights layer by layer... ...
At the end of the song, she made a curtain call and left...
Everyone clapped their hands and cheered, but unfortunately they didn't see her face clearly.
After a while, another man dressed as a boy came out, dressed in a blue silk gown, wearing a nylon scarf, holding a paper fan in his hand, and was a little handsome in elegance. With the melodious tune, he danced softly and sang in a clear voice: "The green grass and flowers are in full bloom, and the colorful butterflies have been wandering for a long time. It has been passed down for thousands of years, and Shanbo is always in love with Zhu Yingtai..." The white face is extremely pink, and the corners of his eyes are almost painted to the eyebrows. The bright eyes are favored, and it seems that there is a kind of difference between hands and feet. What a style...
In a trance, the "floating plum threshold" is like a blue boat hundreds of years ago, carrying a ship of literati and poets. On this spring night, you can travel the lake to write poems and feel the intoxicating lake and mountains.
Although those foreign guests can't understand the meaning of words, they only rely on these graceful dance steps, the voice of a hundred and thousands of times, and the charm of singing and dancing in the south of the Yangtze River.
......
After a few songs, the drunken guests were already in high spirits. At this time, Yun Wei pulled the two principals to the center of the stage.
She said in a sweet voice, "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming to the party tonight, especially the distinguished guests from HFSD University in the United States in the distance!" There was a cheer in the crowd, and she continued, "We enjoyed a few songs and dances with a unique Jiangnan flavor just now. Should we change our taste now?" Seeing everyone's enthusiastic response, she said, "I have a proposal. Why don't you ask the two principals to sing a song for us? What do you think?"
The sound of cheering and shouting has been rising one after another.
Under the attention of the crowd, it was difficult for the two principals to refuse, so they got up and came to the center of the stage. Because it was a temporary proposal, everyone did not mind the accompaniment. They only listened to the chorus of the two principals, a song "Friendship lasts forever". They first sang in Chinese, and then used English to show the friendship between the two schools. The meaning... The song is long, the friendship style, and the whole audience sings in unison, pushing the cheerful and warm atmosphere to the extreme.
After the principal sang, Yun Wei also volunteered to sing a sweet song queen Teresa Teng's classic song "He Rijun Comes Again". She looks like Deng Meiren's small round face, sweet and slightly clear voice, coupled with a shiny and graceful dress, which is simply with Deng. The queen looked like a god. After singing a song, she received unprecedented warm applause.
After that, Yun Wei named several powerful singers who usually love singing to perform on the stage. Enthusiastic American friends, including Thomas and Pierre, also took the initiative to get up and join the singing team. This much-anticipated lake party turned into an ingenious concert.
After the performance, Yun Wei cheered and came to the backstage. She drank a few more glasses of wine and blushed. Like a bird, she jumped on Bai Shu'an, kissed her cheeks, and couldn't help praising: "Honey, you're great. I'm proud of you! I don't know how handsome your boy's appearance is. It's so fascinating.
"Aunt Yun is flattered," Bai Shu'an was also very excited. "But tonight's greatest meritorious official is not me."
"Oh?"
"Is it them?" Bai Shu'an introduced two women from the screen and introduced them to her, "It's their two sisters. Her name is Ziyu. She has been familiar with Guzheng since she was a child. Her name is Qinglian, and she talks about the pipa well. Fortunately, Master Lin arranged this performance program. Otherwise, even I, a clever woman, will not be broken tonight."
"Thank you for your hard work. Look at these sisters. They are really beautiful. The most rare thing is that you and Shu'an cooperated for the first time, which was so seamless that others thought they were from the same group. Yun Wei held one in one hand and liked it very much. After asking about the age, she asked about the family affairs. It turned out that they were twin sisters. They were 18 years old and had no parents in their early years. Because they were proficient in ancient music, they made a living on this cruise ship.
Yunwei is a cheerful person. When she saw the person she liked, she didn't just say that the sisters helped her a lot tonight and didn't make a fool of her. She was really grateful. As soon as he was happy and drunk, he immediately became proud. He took out a business card from his handbag and stuffed it into their hands. He told them to go to her if they had something to do. The jade bracelet ring on his wrist also retreated, and the two sisters, one by one, kept saying that if they didn't accept it, they would turn against each other.
Ziyu and Qinglian can only be accepted. At this time, Ziyu also handed a jade pendant hanging on her chest to Yunwei's hand. Yunwei was a little angry: "You should exchange tokens. This is a gift from your aunt. Collect your own things quickly."
But the two sisters refused to die. Yun Wei had to give the jade pendant to Shu'an and said with a smile, "Today is the night for the three of you. Come on, call me Aunt Yun like Shu'an. She is your sister."
Two Qingshui hibiscus-like women sent Yunwei to the door. Yunwei took a few steps, suddenly turned around behind Bai Shu'an's ear, and whispered, "Come here quickly, don't forget that there is your lifesaver on the wine table, waiting for you to toast?"
Bai Shu'an's face changed. Thinking of the purpose of Aunt Yun's best to invite her to perform, she was helpless. She only pushed the drunken Yun Wei out of the door and walked back to the dressing room.
After Yun Wei left, the Ziyu and Qinglian sisters asked questions around Bai Shu, but they only felt that it was too late to meet. Bai Shu'an felt that time had passed long enough before she excused. But she did not walk to the banquet hall in the inner cabin, but walked along the stern of the rear cabin.
This cruise ship is not only open-minded in the inner cabin, but also unique in the design of the rear cabin. In the rear cabin where the dressing room is located, there is a four-corner square pavilion, a big prescription round. When you look up, you can see a lake and landscape. At this moment, the moonlight outside is bright, and the wind is clear and the lake is quiet, which makes people feel comfortable.
Bai Shu'an leaned against the ship's pillar and quietly enjoyed the moonlight of the lake. Suddenly, she was shocked by a heavy cough and followed the sound. Far away, in the dark corner, a familiar figure turned his back. His head leaned heavily on the side of the ship. He walked in and took a closer look, but it was Luo Hanfeng.
"Why is there a person standing in this dark corner?"
He looked back with effort and smiled reluctantly: "I'm a little dizzy."
She walked closer, and a gust of wind blew by, with the strong smell of wine on his body. She covered her mouth and said, "It's easier to faint after drinking. Just now, I heard someone say that he was not good at drinking. He thought he wanted to preserve his strength, but now it seems to be true.
He quickly raised his hand and said "hush", as if he was afraid that others would hear it. He wanted to turn around, but he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Bai Shu'an had to come forward to hold him. Her cold fingers touched his hot palm. Like an electric shock, she had a palpitation in her heart and her hand involuntarily pulled back. Luo Hanfeng had not yet stood firmly, and then lost his help, and his body hit the port of the ship heavily.
In this collision, he seemed to have lost all his strength, and his internal organs shook. For a moment, in the hot chest, countless filth gushed out and overturned in the lake...
Bai Shu'an saw that he couldn't move on the sideboard for a long time. After all, she couldn't bear it. She took out a silk handkerchief from her pocket and bent down to stuff it into his hand. He wiped it randomly for a while. After a while, his body seemed to lose consciousness and slid weakly to the floor.
"Hey, hey, get up, don't sit on the floor." She called him from a distance and didn't respond at all.
Suddenly, he stretched out a hot hand and grabbed her cold wrist. Before she came to her senses, she was pulled down and sat next to her by him. "Come and sit down together!" His strength became infinite. No matter how much she struggled, she refused to let go. She had to sit beside him as he wanted. After a while, his hands began to relax slowly. She had just broke free from the clamped wrist, only to find that his body had been softly leaning against the post, and his head fell heavily on the left side of her shoulder... P>
She helplessly straightened his head with her elbow. At this moment, under the dim yellow light of the wood carving palace lamp, the hair on his forehead was dishevelled, and a pair of thick long eyelashes were confused, like a baby, sleeping soundly...
She sat and stared for a while before she stood up and looked around. The distant and near cruise ships sailed back, leaving them alone. The "floating plum threshold" was like a flat boat in the middle of the lake, quietly floating on the surface of the water. Under the cover of a layer of moon, it was foggy and illusory...
The evening breeze flew up the corners of her skirt, and the red ribbons on the braids spread around like vines...
She heard someone calling his name not far away...
