"The wind brings warmth, the mist clears up, and the pond is full of spring scenery..."
Spring is in full bloom, and the singing voice is melodious. On the lawn, the person playing the piano and singing is Master Li. The lyrics and music are to the tune of "Ying Tianchang". The woman plucks her fingers lightly, lowers her eyebrows and lowers her head. She is not always smiling like ordinary performers. She looked at the audience, but devoted herself to the lyrics and music. Because Zhou Bangyan had just chanted the words, she was also experiencing it carefully at this time. However, because of this intention, this figure had an air of selflessness.
Zhou Bangyan was also standing on the side of the crowd at this time, listening to the melodious singing voice, but he did not look at Master Li, but fell on the mountain on one side, as if sinking into selfless memories.
He was also very satisfied with the poem he composed slowly while chatting and laughing with everyone.
"...It's a moonless night in the hall, and the food is dark and cold. Liang Jianyan, a former guest of the club, seems to be laughing at me, closing the door and feeling lonely... The flowers have been scattered, the rue in the other courtyard is fragrant, and the ground is in a mess..."
This is not a festive poem that perfectly suits the occasion. Zhou Bangyan is best at describing things and expressing emotions, and there are many emotions and melancholy in his poems. The topic we just talked about was originally what happened when he was an official in the capital, but at this time he was already After being dismissed, I talked about other topics, and after a few words of emotion from others, my interest in writing came up. I wrote the first two sentences first, and the rest gradually followed.
This poem describes the scene during the cold food days, that "it is the moonless night in the hall, the dark cold food", but it uses what Bai Juyi said in the poem "Han Shi Night": "There is no moon, no lights, cold food night, Late at night, I still stand in front of the dark flowers." When writing lyrics, it is easy to use the words of the predecessors as extensions and to express emotions. This is also the characteristic of Zhou Bangyan's lyrics. After singing the first half of the poem, Shishi squinted his eyes slightly and moved the second half. The emotion of the words is sung eloquently.
"... When I remember that time, I met by chance, stationed at Youbi in the suburbs. I also saw candles passing through the Han Palace, and smoke flying from the houses of the five princes. Green grass, lost roads. Forced to bring wine, looking for traces. The market bridge is far away, under the willows. We all know each other by ourselves."
The first half of the column is about today's things, while the second half is about recalling the past. The first column is a foreshadowing, and the second column is sublime, echoing deeply. The lines "See the candles passing through the Han Palace again, and the smoke flying from the houses of the five princes" are used. It is a poem "Cold Food" by Han Hong, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: "Flowers are flying everywhere in the spring city, the east wind keeps the willows from falling in the cold food, candles are sent from the Han Palace at dusk, and the light smoke disperses into the houses of the five princes." This allusion is also very good, and finally The entire poem is truly a rare masterpiece.
Of course, if Ning Yi were here at this time, he might have laughed a few words. Perhaps Puyang Yi and others mixed in the crowd were also laughing at this time. Just now Ning Yi wrote the sentence "There are thousands of people in the world, don't ask for them." ." The target was Master Li. At this time, he may have felt that writing words to praise Master was a bit flattering. Out of face issues, he instead wrote a sentence to recall the old man. To summarize, he said: "I There was a girl before..." He said that he was not a guy who was obsessed with Master Li.
Of course, no matter what these intentions are, they are also obscure thoughts that only a few people can think of. After all, the words are good words. Once these words are written, everyone else's works will be immediately suppressed. After the teacher finished singing, I thought about it carefully for a long time before I took my fingers off the strings. My daughter's family usually likes these works about past love. The others also applauded and applauded. They were aroused and couldn't calm down.
Although Zhou Bangyan had some other thoughts when writing this poem, most of it came from his true feelings. After writing the second half, he really thought of his old friends and felt slightly sad. When others praised him, he smiled modestly.
After a while, this morning, the current poem is already the best work. Cao Guan has also written one, but it is still inferior to this poem "Ying Tianchang". The number one talent in the capital is well-deserved.
, someone was trying to find Ning Yi's whereabouts while joking, but naturally he couldn't find him.
After a while, Zhou Bangyan took a moment, unfolded his fan and walked towards the woods nearby. At this time, his heart was occupied by his past love, and the victory or defeat in the literary field temporarily gained the upper hand, so he allowed himself to feel melancholy.
His thoughts were out of control, and he felt like he was invincible and had no dreams of being defeated. After walking for a while, someone followed him from the side: "Brother Zhou is very affectionate, and my little sister is really touched." The person who came came also had a slight expression on his face.
The melancholy Mr. Li.
Zhou Bangyan looked back. They had gone a long way now, and the figure there had almost disappeared in the gap between the trees: "Isn't Master over there? I'm afraid it would be a little bad to follow them like this."
"It doesn't matter. They just competed and it's over. Master just said to come over and have a rest...Brother Zhou, Shiqiao is far away from Liuxia. We all know each other. I don't know which girl that is?"
"Haha, Master is so smart. Naturally, he knows that in order to compose new words, he has to have some fantasy. But how can we know a woman whom we have met once?"
"Anyway, Brother Zhou's poem is probably going to take the top spot in this literary competition. It's just that it came out too early. There's still half a day left, so it's hard for others to take action."
"Shishi is joking." Zhou Bangyan smiled and shook his head, but there was a bit of pride in his eyes, and then said, "Shishi's old friend who is still acquainted has not made a move yet, but he doesn't know where he is going at this time.
Already."
The teacher lowered his head slightly: "Brother Xiao Ning's lyrics are also good, but the words and artistic conception of Brother Zhou's song are both excellent. Compared with Brother Zhou's song, Brother Xiao Ning's three lyrics are also better.
The difference is almost the same. And brother Xiao Ning has only written three lyrics in the past few years. He must have a temperament that likes to carve out, and it is impossible to write good lyrics at any time."
These few sentences juxtapose Zhou Bangyan's lyrics with Ning Yi's three poems. In fact, Zhou Bangyan knew that there was still a gap between this "Ying Tianchang" and those three poems. However, although Li Shishi was flattering in his words, he actually did not
He also affirmed Ning Yi's poetic talent and vaguely said, "Maybe he can't compare with you." After Zhou Bangyan heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He thought to himself that I have good works casually, and he only has three poems in a few years. Even if
Okay, it's hard to compare with me at this time. The feeling of melancholy faded away for a while, but I started to have some thoughts about competition. I thought that if I could meet Ning Liheng later, I would really like to compete with him.
.
On the surface, he naturally kept a smile on his face. He was very happy that Shishi could leave the others and come with him, and walked deep into the woods while chatting.
*********************
The woods were not too deep. When Zhou Bangyan and Li Shishi walked in, Ning Yi sat on the stone and asked Yunzhu next to him to get a needle and thread to mend the seams on his clothes. Bathed in the sun, he said something
Talk.
After being together for so long, they must have similar interests. There is always no shortage of topics between the two, such as daily life and trivial matters. There are often opportunities for them to be alone, but because of Jin'er's destruction, they are always very deliberate.
, at this time, it was inevitable to joke about Jin'er's absence, saying that she would come looking for her with all her teeth and claws later, and then mentioned that the weather was nice today. Yunzhu sat next to him with his legs bent, not sewing fast, but he was enjoying it
After chatting for a while, he asked, "After the Beginning of Summer, are you going to leave?"
Ning Yi and Su Tan'er were going to Suzhou and Hangzhou. They had already told her that the date was approaching, and Yunzhu couldn't help but think about it. Ning Yi was silent for a moment, then nodded, and said: "Let's go
The date has not been decided yet, maybe it will be a little later."
Yunzhu smiled: "I just want you to come back soon." After a moment, he added, "If you don't come back, maybe I will chase you. When the time comes, I will also open a shop in Hangzhou."
"It won't take that long."
"Perhaps Miss Su is pregnant and the journey is far away, so it is inconvenient to return to Jiangning to wait for the birth."
Yunzhu thought more. Now when he mentioned Su Tan'er's possible pregnancy, Ning Yi thought about it, but didn't know how to answer. Yunzhu had a gentle temperament. He understood and accepted his fate. He also knew this, but
When discussing Su Tan'er in front of her, Ning Yi always felt that he was being unkind. Yunzhu looked at his expression, smiled, and then blushed: "Otherwise, before you leave, we will, uh, that
…”
She talked for a long time, but in the end her face only turned redder and she could not say more. Then she lowered her head and tied a knot, biting off the thin thread. Ning Yi naturally knew what she meant: "You have to find a way to hide.
Just open Jin'er, that guy is like a candy, how can I keep her away for a long time..."
Yunzhu naturally did not want to participate in Ning Yi's discussion of "how to push the watcher away and let me eat you." She turned slightly sideways and leaned her head and shoulders on Ning Yi. At this time, Ning Yi was sitting.
He was taller than her, so he put his hand on her other shoulder, and then gently touched her cheek. The cheek was a little hot, and Yunzhu narrowed his eyes.
"Actually...Jin'er really likes you..." Ning Yi sighed.
"Um."
"Before I leave, if I have been gone for so long, there will be others..."
Ning Yi spoke slowly, but before he finished speaking, Yunzhu moved his head slightly beside him, closed his eyes and whispered softly: "Yunzhu is not a free-spirited woman. It may not be very glorious to say, but over the years, I have met many people.
There are not many men in love. I only like you. Once I fall in love with you, I won’t change it. Those things... it doesn’t matter before or after. Even for three to five years, I only like you. Li Heng,
I have never thought about joining the Su family, I just want to join the Ning family. If you marry me or not, if I give birth to a child for you in the future, his surname will be Ning..."
She didn't act fiercely because of Ning Yi's words. Her tone was calm and gentle, but she also had the usual tenacity. Ning Yi smiled and groped her lips with his fingers, and she also laughed: "Itchy.
"
"I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
"I am not angry."
Yunzhu sat there and smiled again for a moment: "But just now you actually wrote a poem for Miss Li. I'm jealous..."
Naturally, her words were a deliberate joke, and Ning Yi laughed: "Haha, they all said it was a bad poem."
"I think it's pretty good. It's a bit similar to your usual lyrics... Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, the green grass stretches across the sky..."
She hummed a few words.
The two people's sentences were trivial. In fact, it was not a conversation where you said something and I said something immediately. The atmosphere at this time was leisurely, and the two people spoke leisurely. They said something as they thought. If the previous dialogues are
Many contents, at this time, are real love words between men and women. In the bushes not far away, there are two figures who are planning to retreat quietly. They are Zhou Bangyan and Li Shishi who came here accidentally. They listened.
After a while, I finally felt it was not very polite.
Moreover, hearing that he admitted that he had just written a "bad poem", Li Shishi was somewhat concerned. He was more or less an oiran in the capital, and he was also an old friend, but you didn't give him any face and composed a "bad poem" to deal with it.
After taking a few steps back, among the mottled forest shadows, I could hear Ning Yi smiling sadly, as if he was moved by the woman's words. After a while, a few words came over, but the voice was not loud.
Slowly, probably while thinking, he spoke casually: "The missing moon...hanging the tung trees...ah, Luo Duanren Chujing..."
