Everyone on the three flower boats stood up and saluted the audience. When the judges ordered the extra round to begin, the two flower boats in the Yunshui Pavilion of Yangzhou Mingfeng Yuan were suddenly busy. The maids and servants were shuttled back and forth, laying paper and polishing ink. Busy and busy. All the scholars and talented people on the ship also stood up and started walking around with their hands behind their hands, frowning and thinking. When they found something, they immediately ran to the desk and wrote down good sentences. It was a scene of endless busyness.
In stark contrast, on the bow of Qunfang Pavilion, Lin Jue was still sitting there upright like a wooden pile. The sturdy young man beside him spread paper and started to rub ink, but Lin Jue looked at the bright moon in the sky. It looks like dementia, and he is not thinking at all, which makes people confused.
If at first some people thought he had a big chest and had an elegant demeanor, but as time went by, everyone felt more and more that something was not right. Because the bachelors and celebrities on the other two ships were already overjoyed. The song was a masterpiece, several lyrics had been written, and there was a huge roar of applause. And it seemed that the best lyrics had been selected and sent to the boat hall for the musicians to compose music. There was also faint music in the boat hall. The sounds of singing and singing came out, and Qin Xiaoxiao and Feng Susu seemed to have started practicing.
"What are you doing? There is a time limit. Once the time for the two sticks of incense is up, there will be a competition. Will Lin Jue succeed?"
"Second Young Master Zhang, if he can't do it, why can't you do it? You are so capable, why don't you volunteer to help? It's a pity that you have failed several times in the interpretation test, so it's all in vain."
"You guys, I'm worried about him, but you come to expose my scars. After all, I have been studying for more than ten years and have written a few poems, but I am ridiculed by you, a mud-legged person. Bah! You can't accept my words. , I don’t have to talk to you, it won’t lower my status.”
"Tch! You have the nerve to look down on me. After studying for more than ten years, even Shi Nianzi has two eyes. You have the nerve to say that. If I study, I might become an official. Even if I don't study, I Relying on strength to make a living now is better than a weakling like you who can't do anything with anything. You don't want to talk to me? Do I want to talk to you?"
"You... are a vulgar person and cannot be defended."
"..."
The people in the audience were so anxious that they began to fight and made a fuss. However, the situation on the flower boat did not change. Lin Jue still sat there without moving, while the other two flower boats cheered and admired. Even bigger. Occasionally a burst of applause breaks out, that is because someone's lyrics have been praised by everyone.
One stick of incense burned out quickly, and half of the second stick of incense was quickly burned by the night wind. The scholars and talents on the two flower boats in Yangzhou City seemed to have prepared all the poems and selected the best ones. Four good songs. There was music in the cabin, and rehearsals were intensifying. Many boxing bachelors were doing nothing, shaking their cattail fans and looking towards the flower boat in Qunfang Pavilion. They pointed at Lin Jue, who was dumbfounded, and mouthed I don't know what he was talking about, and bursts of laughter broke out from time to time.
When there was still a small section of the second incense stick, the people on the Qunfang Pavilion flower boat seemed to be unable to bear it any longer. Several women rushed to the bow of the boat and came to Lin Jue and whispered something. After that, Lin Jue seemed to be heartless. Reluctantly, he stood up and walked to the desk, picked up the brush, and after being stunned for a moment, started writing lyrics.
As Zhao Zimo shouted: "Time's up!" everyone cheered up, and the final playoff was about to begin.
"Please draw lots among the three families." Zhao Zimo's bamboo raft slid gently beside the three red boats. The pole player used a long pole to pick up a cloth bag and lifted it to the deck. The people on the three boats took out a colorful thread from the bag.
Comes wrapped in a ball of wool.
"The colored balls are hollow and have sequential numbers inside. Please show them to the public." Zhao Zimo said with a smile.
Only then did everyone understand that for the sake of fairness, the numbers were placed among three identical colored balls this time. The lottery boy from Minghoyuan peeled off the colored balls and took out a piece of paper from inside.
Look, it's a black character '二', that's the second appearance.
The maid who drew lots on the Yunshui Pavilion's boat over there followed the same pattern and displayed a big "three" in public. Needless to say, Qunfang Pavilion was the first one to appear. Of course, in order to show fairness, Zhao Zimo still asked Lin, who drew lots from Qunfang Pavilion, to
Hu showed the note, which was naturally a big word '一'.
"The draw has been completed, and the result is as everyone can see. The first performance of new lyrics and music about wind is performed by Qunfang Pavilion. Please!" After Zhao Zimo's words fell, everyone opened their eyes and looked forward to Qunfang Pavilion's performance of poetry and new music. However, next
For a moment, everyone almost fell to the ground.
"We admit defeat in this game, let's compete." Lin Jue stood on the bow of the boat and shouted with his hands waving. The people on the shore could hear it clearly because of his loud voice.
"..."
"..."
Everyone rolled their eyes, it was really unexpected that they gave up so easily.
"Master Lin, I remind you that this is the final playoff, do you really give up so easily? Is this your intention or the intention of everyone in Qunfang Pavilion?" Zhao Zimo reminded.
"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Lin means what our Qunfang Pavilion means." Chu Xiangxiang stood on the bow of the ship and looked down at Zhao Zimo and saluted.
Zhao Zimo had no choice but to give some final persuasion, and said in a deep voice: "Master Lin, if you give up on this first city, you have lost a battle."
"I understand. There are four games in total, and there are still three games left. If I win them all, I will still be first. Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for reminding me." Lin Jue said with a smile.
Three black lines fell from Zhao Zimo's head, and his white eyes flew up to the sky. This guy was very arrogant. But Zhao Zimo couldn't help it. He was the master of ceremonies, so he couldn't involve too many personal emotions. The persuasion just now was no longer enough.
It's time.
"That's all." Zhao Zimo said no more, turned around and raised his hands to the crowd of people, and said loudly: "Everyone, since Qunfang Pavilion announced that it will not perform this round, Qunfang Pavilion is ranked last this round. According to the rules, Yunshui Pavilion
Hemingfengyuan can continue to compete for the first place in this round, and the first place will get one point. After four games, the person with the highest score will be the Oiran."
Feng Susu from Minghoyuan was the first to appear. She changed her clothes and now transformed into a playful village girl, cute and cute. Holding two dental plates in her hands, she came to the bow of the ship and stood pretty. As the simple music of silk and bamboo began, Feng Susu
He tapped his teeth and sang softly.
"I hate the wind that urges me to separate! The boat can be blown away like flying, but why can't the eyebrows be blown? I can't stand the wind!"
"Isn't this the boat that carries my lovesickness? If the boat misses my loneliness, it carries everyone there to sleep under the awning, thanks to the wind!"
Feng Susu's voice is sweet, delicate and beautiful. It can be heard that she has ordinary attainments in singing skills. However, it is this youthfulness of singing skills that gives people a fresh and natural feeling. In conjunction with this song, she uses slang
The lyrics of the song have a sense of harmony that complements the music and the music. Although the lyrics of this song are written in slang, it is this popular feeling that is different from those lyrics that use extremely elegant words and rhythm.
It gives people a sense of surprise that they are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea, but they can taste the delicacies of the mountains and wild fields.
The people in the audience applauded with smiles, and everyone in the VIP seats at the judges' table also applauded and nodded. The lyrics and music were harmonious, fresh and pleasant, and it was a very good performance.
Feng Susu delicately bowed to everyone in the audience, then turned to the dozens of scholars and scholars sitting around to salute. A man in his thirties stood up and returned the salute. He was the author of this poem. Someone recognized him.
This person is Shi Xiaoyou, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and his status in the literary world is not prominent. But it is obvious that after tonight, Shi Xiaoyou's reputation will greatly increase.
After Mingfeng Yuan, Yunshui Pavilion appeared, and everyone had great expectations for Yunshui Pavilion's Qin Xiaoxiao. Because in the previous performance, Qin Xiaoxiao successfully squeezed into the finals through two new lyrics.
The two lyrics of "Bu Suanzi" and "Man Jiang Hong" in that scene were also extremely amazing and received unanimous praise from everyone. This fully shows that the scribes invited by Yunshui Pavilion are powerful. Moreover, Qin Xiaoxiao is known for his singing skills.
Yunshuige is very competitive in this regard.
Qin Xiaoxiao was still wearing a lake-green dress, with her temples held high and standing pretty on the bow of the boat. The sound of strings and bamboos started to sound, and Qin Xiaoxiao opened her mouth to sing.
"Shang Biao first appeared, and gradually he heard it for the first time. Xiaoxiao was still there. He was frightened and tired of traveling. He carried the hanging shadow of a green lantern and began to chant a sad poem. There was no evidence intermittently, so he tried to listen to it in the deserted court. Where is it? But the steps are full of fallen leaves,
Only tall trees.?"
"The dream is blocked by recursion. The old man can't help it, and the illness is miserable. The old mountain courtyard. I think about the lonely people beside me, and the crickets whispering. I count them together, and there is a drizzle of bananas. There is nowhere to hide. This idle sorrow,
It’s especially painful late at night.”
Qin Xiaoxiao's singing voice is indeed melodious and her singing skills are indeed exquisite. There is no stagnation when singing a new word, like flowing water, smooth and smooth. However, due to the tone of this word, she cannot
Taking advantage of her wide vocal range, the whole song sounded a little dull.
Moreover, when this word was sung, it also caused some controversy in the audience.
"Isn't it based on wind? How come you didn't hear a word of wind after singing the song?"
"Aren't you a layman? Although I didn't mention the word "wind", I think there is wind in my mind. Shang Biao suddenly appeared, gradually began to whisper, and Xiao Xiao still lived. Shang Biao is the autumn wind. What is this if it is not wind? Fallen leaves are all over the stairs
, there are only tall trees. What is this if it’s not wind? How can there be ‘fallen leaves all over the stairs’ without wind?”
"Oh. That's it. This is embarrassing for me. I didn't expect this section. It turns out that I deliberately didn't mention the word wind, but there is the sound of wind and the scene of wind blowing through the falling leaves. I am just stupid."
"Hahaha, what's so shameful about this? I'm afraid I was fascinated by Qin Xiaoxiao's singing and didn't listen carefully."
"Haha, maybe. So what do you think of this poem?"
"Well... the lyrics are very good, but... it's not beautiful if it's a little deliberate. Moreover, this poem is melancholy and depressing, too sad, but it doesn't fit the situation. Besides, it doesn't fit well with Qin Xiaoxiao's temperament. No matter how old Qin Xiaoxiao is,
A thirty-year-old may be more suitable to sing this song. In my humble opinion, it is not as harmonious as the fresh and natural human song from Minghoyuan."
"Well... when you say that, I think it is indeed the case. A conversation with you is better than ten years of reading. How about we go have a drink later?"
"Hahaha, award after award, it's easy to talk about."
The results of the first round of judging at the judges' table have come out. Just as the two scholars in the audience discussed, although the lyrics sung by Qin Xiaoxiao are good, they are not suitable for the scene because of such profound and sad lyrics. Moreover,
It is obvious that Qin Xiaoxiao is quite young and cannot control this kind of lyrics at all, so it gives people a sense of disharmony. The judges favored the first slang word more. Therefore, the final result was Mingfengyuan or above.
It was judged to be mid-to-higher, defeating Qin Xiaoxiao's Yunshuige.
As soon as the results were announced, it was beyond everyone's expectation. Meifengyuan was considered to have suffered a huge upset.
The second round of drawing began. In this round, Mingfengyuan was the first to appear, Yunshui Pavilion was second, and Qunfang Pavilion was the last. After Zhao Zimo announced the theme of "flower", Mingfengyuan Feng Susu took advantage of the upset in the first round. Wei comes on stage.
Feng Susu changed her look again, with a long skirt, hair like clouds, and graceful grace. She came on the stage with her pipa in her arms, bowed and plucked the strings with bare hands and sang the slow lyrics of "Six States Song Tou".
"The east wind is interested in climbing up the small peach branches first.
Pink and greasy, as delicate as drunkenness, leaning against the red leaf.
When I remember the year, I can see the newly painted face, facing the water bank, it is half spring, the clouds are warm and the sun is warm, the inclined bridge turns, and it reaches the west of the city.
The grass is soft and the sand is flat, the horses are crossing with hanging poplar trees, and the jade poles are neighing.
Her eyebrows are condensed and she smiles, her face is thin and fat. The embroiderer once peeked at her, and she hated her."
“We hold hands together, the fragrance is like mist, the red color follows every step, and we complain about the late spring.
Losing weight, who can ask? Only the flowers know, and the tears fall empty.
In front of the old hall, Yan and Yanyu flew together again.
People grow old, spring is good, and dreams are good. When I passed Liu Lang, it was a romantic place, and the flowers should also be sad. But in the vast dusk, the Wuling River is cut off from the eyes, and it is difficult to trace the past. "
This poem is really beautiful, tactful, revealing, lingering and charming, and extremely moving. Feng Susu's singing is still remarkable. Although her voice is average, the composition of this poem is all in the alto, which perfectly covers her singing. There are flaws in his art and voice. However, perhaps because the time was too hasty, the musician's music was a bit stiff. In addition, in order to cover up the weakness of his voice, the whole song was too bland, and there was no explosive point in the back part, which gave people A feeling of being unable to express your feelings.
The biggest failure came at the end of the song. Perhaps realizing the shortcomings of the entire song and lyrics, in order to create a better atmosphere, or to show a better self, Feng Susu went so far as to superfluous performance at the end. The skill of one-handed pipa and one-handed flute ensemble was used to enhance the meaning of the music. However, Tang Yu and others, who were still smiling, immediately changed their expressions. In Tang Yu's heart, a good performance turned into a juggling act. It's a monkey show.
The audience's reaction was also very general, and they only gave polite applause, indicating that the effect was not good.
Qin Xiaoxiao from Yunshui Pavilion appeared on the stage. Qin Xiaoxiao was still the same as before, wearing a long skirt and standing gracefully. But judging from her expression, she was much more solemn at the moment. Perhaps the defeat in the first game brought a little pressure.
There was no silk or bamboo, no flute, no music. Qin Xiaoxiao's voice sounded softly in the silence. But it was a song called "Moon Flower Clear".
"The snow is heavy in the garden in spring, and the fragrance of flowers and moon floats on it. The clothes are still timid and thin. I am sleeping alone, and I hear the sound of a dry magpie. We share pink tears, stay in the rain, and have clear dreams, and the cold clouds are lonely. Except. This is Jiangmei once Xu, the poet chanted.
I always regret wandering in the morning breeze. Don't let go of your fragrant skin, it will be as thin as peeling. Deep apricots and young peaches, for whom are the ends falling apart. Due to the weather, the makeup is clear, you might as well enjoy the beautiful scenery. Mix it. Take it from the flower, and drink a cup alone. .”
The song was empty and resentful, like a mist rising slowly under the moon, slowly covering up the people on the stage and off the stage, until it enveloped everyone. Everyone on the stage and off the stage were gripped by this faint loneliness. Shrouded in loneliness, it was as if he was listening to Qin Xiaoxiao telling himself his thoughts. That feeling was both beautiful and mysterious, but also had a kind of secret sadness.
Qin Xiaoxiao obviously knows the strengths of her voice. Her voice has a natural magnetism, like the deep echo of a bell. Although the whole song is still dominated by mid-bass, it is greatly different from the previous one.
The difference is different. You can switch between medium and low with ease, the words have the meaning, the music has the perfect fusion, and the memories are astonishing and endless.
"Good! It's really good. The lyrics are good, the music is good, and the singing is even better." Yuan Xiandao sighed at the judges' table, shaking his gray beard and his face was full of satisfaction. No one refuted his words. This poem was sad and beautiful but sad but not sad.
, matched with Qin Xiaoxiao’s magnetic voice singing a cappella, it seemed extremely appropriate. Even Tang Yu also believed that if it were accompanied by the sound of silk and bamboo, it might not achieve such an effect.
After the song ended, there was thunderous applause. Not far from Qin Xiaoxiao, a scribe stood up. Qin Xiaoxiao gathered his train and saluted him. Everyone knew this man. This was the song he wrote for Qin Xiaoxiao during the previous game.
Song Anping, a famous celebrity in "Businessman". This person has composed and sung his second song today, which shows his amazing talent and learning.
Anyone with a discerning eye actually understands that Qin Xiaoxiao's lyrics, music and singing in this round are much better than Feng Susu's. After the unexpected defeat in the first round, Qin Xiaoxiao has obviously shown his true skills. Feng Susu is by no means his opponent in this round. But there are still more to come.
A Qunfang Pavilion is about to perform, and I don’t know what the standard of Qunfang Pavilion is. I don’t know if Qin Xiaoxiao can win back the victory in the second round.
Because they abstained in the first round, the audience below is actually looking forward to the upcoming performance of Qunfang Pavilion in the second round. But they are very conflicted, because after seeing Qin Xiaoxiao's song, they feel that Qunfang Pavilion may not be an opponent.
.If we can't win this game, we will lose two games in a row. If the two youth clubs in Yangzhou get a victory each, it will be difficult for Qunfang Pavilion to have a chance to make a comeback.
Zhao Zimo's wooden platoon arrived at Qunfang Pavilion Flower Boat Policy, and was about to announce that Qunfang Pavilion would perform. Suddenly Zhao Zimo saw Lin Jue waving with his head raised.
Zhao Zimo hurriedly raised his head and clasped his fists and said, "Master Lin, may I ask what your orders are?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao, please announce that Qunfang Pavilion will abstain from voting this round."
"Ah?" Zhao Zimo almost stumbled into the water. If the servant beside him hadn't caught him quickly with quick eyes, he might have become a drowned rat.
Zhao Zimo composed himself and frowned: "Mr. Lin, did you hear me right? Are you saying that you want to abstain from voting again?"
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Mr. Zhao heard you right, we abstain."
"Master Lin, hey, I am not too talkative. This is the second game. You are abstaining from voting again. Do you not intend to compete for the position of the oiran?" Zhao Zimo smacked his lips.
"Who said that? If we don't compete for the oiran, why are we here? Of course we want to compete for the oiran." Lin Jue said with a smile.
"But... you have abstained from two games in a row, how can you compete for the oiran?" Zhao Zimo sighed.
"There are four games in total, right? In the first game, Minghoyuan won. In the second game, Yunshui Pavilion will definitely win. Each of their two families won one game, and there will be two more games. We can win them all, right?"
Did you win? It only takes two wins. Can't Mr. Zhao pay for this?" Lin Jue nodded with a smile.
"..." Zhao Zimo was completely speechless. He raised his head and looked at Lin Jue's smiling face. After a while, he sighed: "Mr. Lin, Bi Laoqian admires your confidence. But this is a test of real swords and guns, isn't it?
Just talk. Are you going to win as soon as you say you win? That's all, I won't talk any more. Are you sure Mr. Lin wants to abstain? Or do you want to think twice?"
Lin Jue nodded and said: "How can a gentleman regret his words? We have abstained. Mr. Zhao will announce it."
Zhao Zimo turned around helplessly, calmed down his emotions, and loudly announced to the waiting crowd that Qunfang Pavilion had abstained again. After hearing this, the audience boiled like a pot of boiling water. Some were shocked, while others laughed and cursed.
, some sighed, and some were angry. Many people also analyzed it seriously.
"Qunfang Pavilion saw the opportunity and simply gave up because he knew he was no match. As the saying goes, it is better to hide one's cowardice than to show one's cowardice. It was also an act of saving face. In fact, I knew this was the result from the beginning. How could Lin Jue have any real talent? Last year.
When the poem "Ding Feng Bo" came out, I suspected that it was not written by him, maybe it was plagiarized, but there was no way to check it. This year, it can be said that it has shown its original shape. If you can write such wonderful words as "Ding Feng Bo", how can you be stumped by this "Feng Hua Xue Yue"
?Haha, Lin Jue was a good boy and simply abstained and kept his reputation."
This kind of statement has been recognized by many people. If not, what explanation can there be? The competition for the oiran has entered a fierce stage, and Qunfang Pavilion has continuously abstained. Naturally, Lin Jue can't come up with words. He had been seen sitting dumbfounded before.
On the bow of the ship, I pretended to write some words later, and I don’t know what kind of glyphs I drew, but in fact I couldn’t write any words at all. I am afraid that Qunfang Pavilion will have no choice but to abstain. This year’s oiran is destined to have no chance with Hangzhou Prefecture.
It must have been taken away by one of the two families in Yangzhou.
There was chaos at the VIP table. Over there, Liu Sheng, the prefect of Yangzhou, was chatting and laughing with Shen Fang, Wu Chunlai and others, and their words were full of ridicule. From time to time, a few words floated around, irritating the nerves of the prince and his son. And Guo Bing, his son and Yan Zheng
The faces of Su and others were gloomy and dark clouds were gathering. Even the little princess Guo Caiwei, who had great confidence in Lin Jue, frowned and opened her nervous mouth slightly. She wanted to get up several times to see what was going on, but she couldn't.
I was afraid of delaying Lin Jue's arrangements.
"It's such a disgrace. If I had known this, I could have found a few people from among the palace officials and made a few songs. This song can't even come out of nowhere, it's just a joke. After tonight,
I'm afraid Hangzhou will be made a joke by others." Guo Bing couldn't help but said angrily.
Guo Kun said: "Father, please calm down and deal with him when you come back. Since this guy has no ability, he ruined my important affairs. It is really abominable and must be severely punished."
The little princess shouted: "Dad, brother, why are you talking like this? You personally sent a message to invite him, but he didn't take the initiative to come? He was busy for two days and two nights. Didn't you see that performance? It should have been
The one who won the championship in one fell swoop. The judges were blinded, so there was a playoff. There are so many celebrities who are assisting in boxing, but he is the only one here, how can he be the opponent? Can he be blamed for this? "
Guo Kun shouted: "Why don't you blame him? Since you promised to take full responsibility, you must consider everything carefully. Of course it is his fault."
The little princess stamped her feet angrily and said in a cold voice: "You people only know how to blame others. Who dares to work for you like this? Even if you have merit, you will not be rewarded. If something goes wrong, you will all blame others. How can this be done?"
Is it convincing?”
Guo Kun glared at Guo Caiwei and said: "Sister, you are really presumptuous now. You actually said that to my father and me. If you continue to be so ungrateful, Lin Jue will suffer a lot."
Guo Caiwei stamped her feet and said: "You..."
Guo Kun glared at Guo Caiwei fiercely. After thinking about it, Guo Caiwei sat down angrily and was speechless. After all, Guo Kun had the handle. Guo Kun should keep the matter between himself and Lin Jue a secret, otherwise Lin Jue would be afraid that his father would kill him.
It's better not to make my brother angry.
There was no suspense about the results of the second round of voting. Yunshui Pavilion successfully moved back to the first city. So far, Mingfengyuan and Yunshui Pavilion were tied one to one. Each of the two floors won one game, but Qunfang Pavilion was still a big one.
