Chapter 15 Enjoy the moonlight and listen to wonderful songs
Chu Jiangping smiled and looked at the thirteen women coming in gracefully, pointing to a yellow pear chair beside him, covered with a thick brocade cushion, embroidered with a large blooming ** with golden silk thread on the brocade mat. The thirteen women smiled, walked over and sat down beside Chu Jiangping: "I don't know if the prince wants to hear. Quer, do you still want to enjoy the little girl's dance?
A trace of loss flashed in Chu Jiangping's eyes, and then he was relieved: "Little sister, do you and I have to do this?"
The thirteenth lady smiled and said, "I'm afraid you have recognized the wrong person, right? There is only the thirteen girls who are drunk on the moon. How can there be the little sister in the prince's mouth?
It seems that it has been said. Chu Jiangping smiled bitterly: "Okay. Now you are the thirteenth mother of Zuiyueju, but you are not my little sister Yan Shisan! I answered your question correctly. What reward should I get? He looked at her with a smile. Today, he wore a moon-white gown, his hair was raised with a golden crown, and the white jade hairpin was fixed, which showed his beauty. The golden belt shows his straight figure and narrow shoulders, which should be the best husband in the hearts of many women! It's just that today he is more unruly, and his arrogant eyes are still staring at Thirteen Niang.
She pressed a sip of tea and replied with a smile, "It can be a dance or a small song. Let's see what you like!" Chu Jiangping naturally knew the habits of Thirteen Niang. In addition to drinking in the house, she was accustomed to drinking in Zuiyueju, so he prepared the best ** tea for her, but he printed the strongest bamboo leaves.
"Tonight, the moon snow is as thin and cool as water. If you enjoy the girl's dance in this place, I'm afraid it's disrespectful to the girl. It's better to listen to the girl burn incense and play songs." Chu Jiangping stood up and said, "If the girl doesn't mind, we can go to the elegant room in the backyard of Zuiyueju. I know my mother here very well, and I don't think I will embarrass you. Isn't it a blessing to go there while enjoying the moon and listening to the piano?
"Okay, it's all up to you anyway!" Thirteen Niang slanted at him. Anyway, he is the boss here. Doesn't he have the final say?!
When Chu Jiangping left the Wanqing Pavilion with the thirteenth mother, he happened to meet Murong Haoxuan who had left. The two were stunned when they met, and then smiled and covered up each other's embarrasment. Murong Haoxuan asked, "Brother Chu has always disdained this kind of fireworks place. Why did Yaxing come here today?" He looked at the thirteenth lady beside Chu Jiangping with a smile, and the woman's eyes looked like Chu Jiangping's sister.
Chu Jiangping smiled and said, "Isn't Mr. Murong the same? You and I are each other!"
Murong Haoxuan took a deep look at Shi Shiran's thirteenth mother standing next to her and said, "Is the girl the red flower here? But I think the girl is a little familiar!"
The thirteenth lady smiled: "I have always recognized the wrong person regularly. I have been drunk here since I was a child. How can I meet my son?
Murong Haoxuan was very disappointed when he heard what Thirteen Niang said. He turned his head and arched his hand to Chu Jiangping: "See you later. Brother Chu will return home happily!" After saying that, he turned around and left, and came out of the stairs. He turned to Chu Jiangping and said, "Brother Chu, your sister, should have time?"
Chu Jiangping was stunned and instantly returned to normal: "Well, she has nothing to do all day. If Brother Murong is free, you can play chess with her and listen to the music. After saying that, he couldn't hide the smile in his eyes and looked at Thirteen Niang. Thirteen Niang stared at him fiercely and followed him silently.
Murong Haoxuan heard Chu Jiangping say, "Oh" and left Zuiyueju with Xiao Yingzi and Li Moran. Watching their figures disappear on the side of the building, Thirteen Niang said with a smile, "It's really hypocritical."
Chu Jiangping looked at her puzzledly. She just smiled and went downstairs: "Say you two."
When he arrived at the elegant room in the backyard, Chu Jiangping did not let people light the lamp. Looking at the clear light of the room, he couldn't help chanting, "Half the deeper moonlight, the Beidoulan is dry and the south. Tonight, I know that the spring is warm, and the sound of insects is new through the green window screen. Quoting Liu Fangping's "Moon Night") Thirteen Niang heard this poem and couldn't help applauding: "Good poem, good poem!" He casually said, "The spirit is small like a hook, and the fan chases the Han machine group. How many places do you see in the world? Quoted Xue Tao's "Moon")
"It's better than the little sister's poems!" Chu Jiangping picked up a window seat and sat down. Looking at the full moon in the sky, it seemed to have endless lovesickness. He said quietly, "Have you really never been moved at all when you just saw him?" How can it be so calm? It seems that nothing between calm roads has happened, so calm that it seems that she is really his little sister, who grew up in this drunken moon house.
"Ha ha, prince, as I said, I'm afraid you have recognized the wrong person. However, looking at the too many lovesickness between the prince's eyebrows, I'm afraid that there is already a loved one in his heart, so you'd better leave here. If you let her know that you have come to such a place, it's not good after all. Thirteen Niang came to him. Today, both of them's clothes are very appropriate, and they are also very compatible, but she doesn't want to be alone with him on such a night.
The door suddenly rang. Thirteen Niang smiled and ordered, "Come in." But Ruyi came in with a fruit plate and a pot of tea in her hand. She looked at Chu Jiangping sitting by the window, and the feelings at the corners of her eyebrows were undoubtedly revealed. When she put down her things and wanted to leave, she was pulled by Thirteen Niang: "The prince said that you are old acquaintances. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? If you listen to my song, it's good for you to talk about the past. With that, he took Ruyi to the bedside, sat down on the stool of yellow pear wood, and let them sit opposite him. She turned into the inner room and cleaned herself. When she turned around, she was already refreshed, but her wet hair showed that she had just taken a shower.
A fragrance is ignited on the edge of the piano, which is the fragrance of Guanyin, mixed with the smell of lilies in the middle. In fact, this taste is Thirteen Niang's favorite taste, because she likes it, so no matter how difficult it is to find, Chu Jiangping always puts it in a place within reach, just for this woman. At first, he just thought that she was very much like Xiner, so he spoiled her and loved her. Now, he suddenly felt a little confused.
How many truths and falsehoods are there between them?
Thirteen Niang lifted her dress and knelt down in front of the piano case. This piano was also specially customized for her by Chu Jiangping, just like her lute, which was also made of good incense wood, but this head was carved with a phoenix that was ready to fly. May I ask, who in the world dares to use such ornaments? Thirteenthniang dares! When she saw the piano, she couldn't put it down. Today, because she played it for him, she took it out with a few treasures.
The armrest, raised the sleeves, and a song "Acacia" flowed out under the strings, and the sound told all about lovesickness. Chu Jiangping listened to the Prime Minister's thoughts, smiled, took out the jade flute at his waist, and matched the sound of her piano. For a moment, a piano and a flute suddenly sounded in the backyard of Zuiyueju, making the people in the front yard intoxicated, as if they saw a pair of infatuated man and women part for some reason. The scene of thinking.
After the end of the song, Chu Jiangping came to her with a smile: "This song is not good. In the end, they still miss each other in the two places. After all, they can't get together." He actually recognized the last meaning of the song. Finally, Thirteen Niang deliberately bulleted the tune of the song a little more cheerfully, but she still couldn't avoid his ears, and he still heard the clues.
"Since they are separated, there is always a reason. Not every infatuated man and woman will always get the ultimate happiness. Nine out of ten, how many people can be assatisfactory in life? The same is true of this feeling. It's just a spirit to live. She restrained her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and the moonlight shone on her body as if it were flowing. How many things have happened to her that made her so frustrated?
Think about it, she used to be in a good spirit, right? After all, she is the queen of the Great Yan Kingdom, so who destroyed her appearance? Murong Haoxuan once said that his queen ran away with his favorite minister. Is it because of the man's ruined appearance? There were too many doubts in his eyes, and Thirteen Niang did not look up at them, but adjusted the strings, and another song flowed out from under the strings. This time it turned out to be a "Erely Singing"!
"Yan'er, change it. These are too sad." Chu Jiangping looked at Thirteen Niang with some heartache.
As soon as he turned his hand, there was another song "Farewell My Concubine", which was about the picture of Yu Ji saying goodbye to King Chu before she committed suicide, and it was written until King Chu's suicide with a knife. This is another sad song. Chu Jiangping suddenly took action and pressed her little hand. Because of the sudden force, her snow-white hand suddenly fell on the strings and splashed a little blood. Chu Jiangping saw that her little hand was bleeding and picked up her little hand in a hurry. There was anxiety in her eyes. Instead, Thirteen Niang pulled her hand out of his hand: "It doesn't matter. Once such a serious injury has survived, what is this now?
Ruyi brought her ointment and gently applied it to her: "Don't play if you are in a bad mood today!"
Chu Jiangping knelt down beside her and moved the piano case in front of him. He lowered his head and jumped on the strings with his slender ten fingers, which turned out to be a song "Smiling Spring Breeze". This song flowed out happily and infected Ruyi. She, who hadn't danced for a long time, actually waved her sleeves and danced slowly. Thirteen Niang unconsciously stood up, walked to the window, closed the curtain, and looked at the moonlight outside the window shining on the half-open water lilies in the pond, and there was a halo circulating. She remembered that the pool of green lotus flowers in the back garden of her palace should have opened now. Every time, the lotus flowers there always bloomed first, mixed with a few golden lotus. However, at that time, no matter how she invited Murong Haoxuan, he always shirked it. Now finally someone will accompany him to see the lotus flowers in the pool, right?
Unfortunately, that person is not me.
The thirteenth mother sighed faintly: "Sister Ruyi, I'll leave first." After saying that, regardless of Chu Jiangping still playing the piano, she turned into the inner room, changed into the clothes she wore, and ordered the night wind outside to prepare the sedan chair for her. She wanted to go back to Chu's house!
Chu Jiangping looked at her and still lowered his eyebrows to finish the song. After that, he looked at Ruyi: "Go and greet the guests!" There is no emotion in the calm tone. After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the elegant room, jumped to the eaves, disappeared into the moonlight in a blink of an eye, and looked at Chu Jiangping's back with affection.
