After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became more intense.
Zhang Yanling had already drank a lot of wine. The daughter's red wine had a mellow taste and long lasting power. Zhang Yanling could already feel the drunkenness. But he didn't care. He just wanted to get drunk tonight, so there was no need to restrain himself.
The three women also drank a lot. The combination of alcohol and the warmth in the room made their faces flush with red, which looked extremely bright under the light. Axiu is a woman with a fierce temper, and now she is even more drunk after drinking.
.She took off her coat and wore only a small coat, rolled up her sleeves to reveal her white arms, and the gold bracelets on her arms were so dazzling.
"Ms. sir, let me sing you a song to cheer you up." A Xiu said with a smile.
"Ah? You can also sing?" Zhang Yanling put down the wine glass and said with a smile.
Axiu said: "My husband has never asked me, but I can't sing any poems or songs. Axiu is a wild girl who grew up in a village and can only sing some folk songs. I'm afraid my husband doesn't like to hear them."
"
"If you like listening, why don't you? Sing a song and listen." Zhang Yanling clapped her hands and smiled.
Axiu looked at Xu Wanyi and Tan Ruqing. Tan Ruqing smiled and said, "I want to hear it too. Axiu sings a song to listen to it."
Axiu nodded, stood up and said: "Okay, then I will sing a song for my husband and the princess, Miss Ruqing, to help them enjoy the wine. What should I sing? I can sing "Slow Cow Drive", "Little Stone Bridge" and "Green Seedlings"
There are many more. What do you like to hear?"
Zhang Yanling laughed and said: "You can sing whichever song you want. But it's best to sing something interesting."
Axiu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then I will sing a song called "Hepecked"."
"Henpecked? That's interesting." Zhang Yanling said in surprise.
Axiu said with a smile: "Listen, I'm singing."
Axiu cleared her throat and sang with her hands on her hips: "I'm not afraid of the sky, I'm not afraid of the earth, I'm not even afraid of my parents; I'm just afraid of beating up my housemate. My housemate is a bit difficult to talk to, she's jealous, she's so naughty
You are a living Rakshasa. Even if you don’t say anything, the boss will slap you indiscriminately. The boss will slap you indiscriminately... The slap will make me cry daddy and call me mommy."
Axiu sang this song with a rough voice, pretending to be a man's voice. While singing, she made gestures, sometimes putting her hands on her hips and sometimes covering her face. The performance was lifelike. Zhang Yanling and Xu Wanyi talked about Ruqing, and the three of them laughed together. Zhang Yanling was just fine.
, Xu Wanyi had never heard such a simple and simple folk song, and she was so laughing that she couldn't get up from Tan Ruqing's shoulders.
Axiu finished singing and said with a smile: "It's over. I didn't sing well. The only one who sang well was Wang Laizi from our village."
Zhang Yanling applauded and stood up with a smile and said: "The singing is so good. But he is really henpecked. He is not afraid of anything but being slapped in the face by his family. Hahaha."
Axiu said with a smile: "A wild song in a mountain village, it is enough for Mr. Bo to reveal his heart."
Zhang Yanling picked up the wine glass and said, "I'm very happy. I'd like to propose a toast to you."
Axiu thanked her, picked up her wine glass and had a drink with Zhang Yanling. Xu Wanyi stopped laughing and said, "It's so fun. Axiu, please play a song."
Axiu said: "I won't sing anymore. This kind of mountain song is not interesting. Why don't you sing a song from the county? Doesn't the princess play the piano and sing at home on weekdays? The family is happy today, why not sing a song?"
Xu Wanyi's face was red and she waved her hands: "No, no, no, I sang for fun, and the singing was very unpleasant. How about Qing singing? Ru Qing's voice is very nice."
Tan Ruqing smiled and said: "Why is it my business again? I don't know anything."
Xu Wanyi said: "Don't be humble, I've heard you sing. I heard you humming a tune when you were dispensing medicine in the pharmacy."
Tan Ruqing spat: "You eavesdropper."
Xu Wanyi covered her mouth and smiled: "What? What can you do? You can't deny it."
Zhang Yanling said: "Don't refuse, no one can run away tonight. Everyone will sing a song to cheer up. Axiu sang, Ruqing and the princess will also sing."
Tan Ruqing said angrily: "How can you be so domineering?"
Xu Wanyi said: "We can sing, but Mr. Hou also has to sing."
"Yes, you have to sing too." Tan Ruqing said with the same hatred as the enemy.
Zhang Yanling chuckled and said, "As long as you are not afraid that I will attract wolves, it doesn't matter if I sing a song."
The three girls were overjoyed. They had never heard Zhang Yanling sing a song before.
Tan Ruqing said: "Well, I don't know much music. When I was a child, I heard my grandmother sing some ditties from her hometown. My grandmother is from Nanjing, and she sang all southern ditties. Well, I'll sing some ditties.
Let’s sing ‘Jasmine’.”
Everyone clapped and applauded. Tan Ruqing stood up, walked to the middle of the room, glanced at Zhang Yanling, and sang:
What a jasmine flower, what a jasmine flower.
The flowers and plants in the garden are not as fragrant as it.
I would like to pick one and wear it.
I'm also afraid that the people looking at the flowers will scold me.
What a jasmine flower, what a jasmine flower,
When the jasmine flowers bloom, the snow is not as white as it,
I am willing to pick one and wear it.
I am also afraid that others will laugh at me and make me look stupid.
What a jasmine flower, what a jasmine flower,
A garden full of flowers blooming can’t compare to it,
I am willing to pick one and wear it.
And I'm afraid it won't sprout next year.
Tan Ruqing has never learned music, and her voice is completely natural and unembellished, which makes her appear immature in technique. But her voice is beautiful and beautiful, and her condition is excellent. The song Jasmine she sings is fresh and moving. At this moment, in line with her pure and beautiful face,
With her slender and graceful figure and slightly shy voice, she looks exactly like a snow-white and fragrant jasmine flower.
After the song was sung, everyone applauded one after another. A few people raised their wine glasses and toasted, and they did not hesitate to use their kind words.
Tan Ruqing returned to the table with a blushing face and said softly: "Okay, I'm singing. Now it's time for the princess."
Xu Wanyi smiled and said: "Are you afraid that I won't deny it? I also want to hear Mr. Hou sing. Just wait, I'll get the piano."
Zhang Yanling said with a smile: "Hey, let's get real."
Xu Wanyi said: "Of course, since I am here to entertain everyone, I should do my best."
Xu Wanyi returned to the room, took out a Yao Qin and placed it on the small table. She straightened her temples and sat cross-legged on the futon. She put her slender fingers on the strings and smiled: "I'm singing.
.”
Zhang Yanling said: "Listen attentively."
Xu Wanyi stroked her gently with her bare hands, and the sound of the piano hummed, which was extremely pleasant. As she remembered the sound of the piano, Xu Wanyi's whole person became solemn and solemn.
But after listening to the rhymes of the piano, it became clear and soothing, and Xu Wanyi also started singing with a sweet voice.
"The stream flows eastward and the sun turns west, the apricot blossoms are scattered and the grass is luxuriant.
The mountain man is already drunk after waking up, and the wild birds are singing like songs.
In the Sixth Dynasty, the ladies of the country were buried in the mausoleum, and in the Five Tombs, there were chariots and horses, and the family princess.
The neighbors are thanking each other, but they are looking at the companionship of flowers, and they are carelessly holding each other hand in hand on the street."
After the song ended, the lingering sound lingered around the ears for several times before slowly dissipating. Xu Wanyi stood up, saluted, and said with a smile: "You're showing off your ugliness!"
"Bah bang bang!"
Zhang Yanling applauded, Tan Ruqing and Axiu also applauded. Xu Wanyi indeed had some accomplishments. He played the piano and sang songs with an elegant temperament that made others envious. This poem was also soul-stirring, melodious and melodious.
"Good poetry, good music." Zhang Yanling cheered loudly.
Xu Wanyi's face turned red and she said with a smile: "It's funny. This poem was written by... Tang Yin, a famous scholar from the south of the Yangtze River. I wrote the music myself."
"Tang Yin?" Zhang Yanling said in surprise.
"What? Does the Marquis know him?" Xu Wanyi said.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "I have heard about it, but this person seems to be more talented at painting than poetry."
Xu Wanyi said in surprise: "Master Hou actually knows about him?"
Zhang Yanling smiled and said: "Is it possible that the princess has some contacts with him?"
Xu Wanyi smiled and said: "How do I know him? I have only read a few of his poems, but I don't know him personally."
Zhang Yanling nodded. Tang Bohu must be in his thirties. He lived a poor life and was fond of drinking. Naturally, he had no connection with Xu Wanyi. It seemed that he was overthinking it.
"Master Hou, don't talk about it. It's your turn." Xu Wanyi said with a sweet smile.
