Chapter 127 Golden Waist Lady
When Yuanxiu returned to the second floor with Shouzhen, he found that the bamboo curtains had been removed. The whole second floor was now open, and the guests sat in twos and threes, and the pattern was different from before. There was a space next to the railing and set up a three-foot-high stage, thinking of preparing for the appearance of the golden-waisted lady for a while.
Several musicians have plucked the strings on the stage, playing a melodious song of magpie stepping on the branches. Many people took their teeth and chopsticks to beat the bowl and enjoyed it. Although Yuanxiu's clothes were very different, he only attracted the attention of a few seats nearby when he went downstairs. Pei 24 Niang waved to her through several people and pointed to an empty seat beside her, thinking that it was left for her.
Yuan Xiu went to the table and nodded slightly to her, but heard Pei 24 Niang whisper, "I thought you were going back. Later, Du Qi came over and said that you accompanied someone upstairs to find the wrong woman to make up... Is that right?"
Yuanxiu looked around and saw that Pei Sanniang and Lu Jiaxing were not there. Only Cui Fengwu and Liu Zhebie were still nearby, so he lowered his voice and said gently, "Yunzhou also slipped out."
"Isn't your Lord going to come down?" Pei 24 Niang asked.
"Her makeup is made of uterine powder. The color of the rouge here can't be adjusted, so I have to wash it all and repainting it. I can't help next to her, so I came down first." Yuan Xiu looked at several new people nearby and found that most of them didn't know them, so he asked, "Where are the prince, Cui Si, Yao Niang, Li Shiniang, Lu Jiu and your sister?"
Pei 23 Niang said carelessly, "Just now, Du Qi pulled Yao Niang and sister to the seat near the railing, and Li Shiniang also followed. Cui Siduo drank wine and rested in the elegant room. The others also sat in another place."
Yuan Xiu took a look in the direction she pointed and found that Du Qi and others' seats were the best place to watch dances. Thinking that the reason why Pei 24 Niang was here and didn't follow her was all for her own reasons, she smiled and said, "Today is dragging you down."
"Your father is Shengping's aunt. I have been friends with Shengping since I was a child. Since I have met her, how can I be difficult to accompany her? Besides, the dance of this golden waist lady is worth a lot of money. Just look back." Pei 24 Niang smiled and said, " By the way, I heard that you have just gone to find Du Twelve?" She smiled ambiguously and meaningfully, and obviously believed that the real purpose of Yuan Xiu's trip was Du Twelve.
Yuan Xiu nodded calmly: "When I was in the palace, I heard Wei Huafei say that his archery skills were amazing, and he was made of powder balls by the Qujiang River. It's really famous!"
"Does Du Twelve still have such means?" Pei 24 Niang saw that she looked as usual and did not seem to be involved in an affair, but she was slightly surprised. She knew that Yuanxiu's wet nurse Xue Shi was originally a master of riding and shooting. No matter how bad Yuanxiu's archery skills were, she was a princess anyway. Her knowledge was always not bad. Listening to her heartfelt praise, Pei 24 Niang couldn't help looking into the corner. Go, muttered, "We have never heard of Brother Six mention it!"
Yuan Xiu looked along her line of sight, but there were two or three seats in the inconspicuous corner. A person sitting in the middle was dressed in broad sleeves, with a slightly drooping head and a casual smile at the corners of his mouth. Next to him, one person sat down as if arguing. She recognized one of them was the two people she had met when she took her to the elegant room to ask. One of them asked Pei 24 Niang, "Is the person next to Du Furi your sixth brother?"
"The one in the green robe is." Pei Si Niang said casually. She looked at the neighborhood full of people and asked Yuan Xiu, "Do you want to reserve a seat for the princess of Yunzhou?"
"Call her Shi Niang." Yuan Xiu said, "There seems to be no empty seats around here?"
Pei 24 Niang and Du Qi are very familiar with each other and said, "Just ask them to add a seat next to us." With that, he waved to a maid and ordered to go down in a low voice.
Although Cui Fengwu and Liu Zhebie saw Yuanxiu, they had never said much. At this moment, they were a little surprised to see Pei 24 Niang at the table.
However, listening to the music gradually stopped, and the discussion in the building gradually stopped. In the silence, there was only one man who opened his voice and said, "Wanjiang River will flatten the embankment in May, and the people will float the colorful boat."
This is the "Competition Song" written by Liu Binbin of this dynasty. At this moment, the man's tone is rich and broad. Yuan Xiu followed the sound, but he saw a 17- or 18-year-old trick man holding a jade flute and standing by the stage to sing a song. The trick was dressed in colorful clothes, with long hair tied up, against the spring light outside the fence, and could not see his face clearly. In the song , but with a slight casualness——
"What year has Lingjun's song been? From then on, the rhymes have been raised."
The first four sentences are leisurely and casual, but then they suddenly turn, and the tone is pulled up one layer, becoming sonorous and powerful:
"The thunderbolt is blowing, and the turbulence is roaring!"
"The dragon gets rain and hyenary, and the dragon drinks the river-shaped shadow."
The conversion is free and wonderful. At this moment, everyone in the building stopped whispering and listened attentively, but listening to his singing was slow--
Destined to lengthen, revealing a touch of playfulness and euphemism,
"The assassin is close to the stream, and the title is divided into male and female.
First, Yu Yong fought for encouragement, but he didn't get a lot of color.
After singing the "Competition Song", everyone's attention was attracted to the stage and cheered one after another. The trickman smiled and arched his hand to all sides with the flute, "The banquet is about to start. Cao throw bricks to attract jade. Please wait for the golden waist lady to come down!"
"If Cao Xianzi's singing is still mud brick, isn't it a living brick kiln in the light house?" The man's words fell, but some singers who liked him retorted loudly, "It's just that it's really difficult to enjoy this song. If the golden waist lady is not ready, why don't you sing another song again?"
Yuanxiu remembered that when he asked Fangniang where Du Furi was, he heard that Du San was drinking with Cao Xianzi in the singing department of the right teaching workshop. Cao Xianzi is a member of the singing department. No wonder the singing is fascinating. Even the golden dance of the golden waist lady is not in a hurry to watch. Unexpectedly, she thought so, but she heard Pei 24 Niang beside her snorting and hum, "This Wang Yue is so shameless, in public, and so entangled! What a failure!"
"Wang Yue?" Yuan Xiu raised his eyebrows and said strangely, "If he just wants to listen to one more song, how can he be disrehised?"
Pei 24 Niang looked around, covered her mouth with her sleeves, and whispered to her, "Your master doesn't know - Wang Yue has always been good as Longyang. He has always not loved Emei and Tanlang, but Cao Xianzi was born a little like Cui Da, and the wind flows into the bones. Although he is a person in the singing department, his behavior is more elaborate than that of the dance department. The dance trick is even better. Cui Da is the eldest son of the Qinghe Wang clan. With Wang Yue's courage, he dare not be rude to him, so he stared at Cao Xianzi!"
Yuanxiu couldn't help looking not far away, but saw that the usual smile of Cui Fengwu, who had always behaved calmly and elegantly, disappeared without a trace. He looked at somewhere indifferently, but there sat a man in red robe, about 25 or 26 years old, with two eyebrows standing behind him. A beautiful and elegant little boy, he seemed to notice Cui Fengwu's eyes, looked back, smiled with a little embarrassed, and stopped his mouth.
When Cao Xianzi saw that he stopped making a sound, he was also relieved and smiled, "The golden waist lady will come down later. Please wait!" Take the opportunity to return to your table.
"Since Wang Yue has a heart for Cui, how can the Du family invite him here today?" Yuan Xiu asked strangely.
She felt that although the upstairs was invited by the Du family today, Cui Fengwu and Pei Zhuo were obviously more familiar with the owner of the Du family than others.
"This is because of Du Jia Sanlang." Pei 24 Niang said, "He saved Sanlang's life, and this man is the son of Wang Quan, a servant of the Ministry of Li. Sanlang was originally the governor of Dengzhou. Since he was ordered to return the capital at the beginning of the year, the saint has never called him to see him. Today, I specially invited him. A small part of them also invited Wang Yue to inquire about some information in order to be justified."
Yuan Xiu looked at her with a smile. Pei Si Niang was still angry at first, but after a moment, she couldn't help blushing and whispered, "Your Lord..."
"This is not a big deal. I'm not so bored. I have to come out once on the fifth day, and I have to report to the fifth brother in detail." Yuan Xiuwei, Pei 24 Niang was relieved to hear her say this. She clapped her hands and smiled, "Well, someone came down the stairs. Haven't you seen the green waist dance of the golden waist lady, have you?"
As he was talking, there was a fragrance of powder on the third floor, mixed with the sound of crisp silver bells. Yuan Xiu suddenly thought of the girl next to the wrong woman who was about the same age as Yunzhou. Sure enough, the girl, with the help of the two maids, first saluted everyone at the entrance of the stairs and prayed for all blessings. Zhong suddenly shouted and bowed his hands on the seat one after another. Some people laughed and said, "The golden waist lady is not only a song of green waist worth ten thousand gold, but also feel that the time when we wait here is golden!"
"This is a slave." When the golden-waist woman heard the words, her eyes flowed and smiled, which made everyone more and more popular. Another person laughed and said, "Since you know that you are not, you don't know how to make amends?"
Without waiting for the golden waist lady to answer, someone shouted, "Naturally it's a punishment!"
"When I went to get Jin Hezhan, didn't the Zheng family send several altars of earth cave spring that had been hidden for 30 years?" One immediately got up and ordered, "My wife made me wait for a long time, and I should be fined at least three!"
"Three is too few. I'm waiting for so many people, and three should be about the same!" The rest of the people shouted one after another, deliberately tricking.
Yuan Xiu covered his mouth and smiled softly: "If this golden-waisted lady really drinks three by one person, she doesn't have to jump with this green waist today!"
Pei 24 Niang looked at the waist under the golden waist lady, which was more enchanting than an ordinary girl, and said with a trace of jealousy: "These are ordinary tricks in the wind and moon field, and I can't embarrass her."
Sure enough, the golden waist lady looked at the waves and said for a moment, "I have the intention to be punished by the kings, but today Du Jiaqilang wants me to dance for you. This--" With that, she looked softly in the direction of Du Qi with a pair of wonderful eyes.
Du Qi had to get up with a smile and relieve her. He smiled at the guest who had already taken Jin Hezhan and Tu Grotto Spring: "Brother Zhou, don't be anxious. Instead of punishing the golden waist lady who can't dance at this moment, why don't you wait for the beauty to dance and discuss the punishment?"
The guest surnamed Zhou was also happy to hear this. He put the golden cup and wine jar on the case and said, "Qilang has always been the most pitiful. How can I do that burning the piano and boiling crane? The golden waist lady will be fined three first, and then drink the rest after the dance. As he looked around his friends nearby, he smiled and said, "Is it so good?"
Several people agreed repeatedly because of his face and Du Qizhi. When the golden-waisted lady passed by, Pei 24niang burst into laughter and said to Yuan Xiu: "Then Zhou Lang also said that Du Qi piti cherished jade. Originally, the golden-waisted lady may have nothing to do if she acted coquettishly. Although he said this, although this matter was temporarily delayed to dancing. After that, it was difficult for the golden-waisted lady to get out!"
Yuan Xiu doesn't care too much about a teaching woman, but just looks at the stairs from time to time and says to himself: I don't know when Yunzhou will come down?
