The wind and the moon

Chapter 8 Listening to Youying Music in Tingfenglou

Although Meng Yushuang kept Mengguan and Yaoguan two actors, but he was very unhappy in his heart, and he didn't answer Tingfenglou, so he went straight to Yiyunxuan, pushed open the door, and sat on the chair in two steps .Seeing Meng Yushuang's posture, Mengguan and Yaoguan knew that Song Yinsheng must have come back angry, so they hurried forward to serve, Mengguan fed water, Yaoguan wiped his sweat, they were very attentive.

Meng Guan persuaded: "Second Master, don't get angry, drink some tea to calm the fire."

"It's my family's garden, but he's in charge! What kind of thing is he! You want me to apologize to him?"

Yao Guan smiled and said: "Second Master is right, that Song is really the master who relies on the support of Prince and does not take Second Master seriously!"

Mengguan saw that Yaoguan not only did not persuade, but fanned the flames, he said: "I'm afraid Mr. Song will be in trouble, otherwise, we'd better go back to the opera troupe. The second master wants to listen to our operas, so come to the opera troupe, it's the same."

"What kind of talk is this! I don't want to go to any theater troupe, so I want you to sing for me here!"

"Second Master, whoever is the character, you can listen to the opera wherever you want! Since we have been brought in, let's just sing a few verses for Second Master in this garden! As for the others, Second Master will definitely help us deal with them one by one. Already." Yaoguan said, leaning towards Meng Yuxuan.

Meng Yuxuan really benefited from these words, he smiled and grabbed Yao Guan's snowy face, smiled and said, "Yao Guan understands the truth!"

"Then, why don't we just put on the stage and invite a few young masters and ladies to come and listen to the opera? Maybe they think we sing well, so they are willing to keep us?" Meng Guan thought for a while and said.

After Meng Yushuang heard Mengguan's words, he thought it would be good, but let them see and see. The people I lead are much better than the Mr. Mo who the eldest brother leads.Thinking about it, he called the two maids in his room, Mingzhu and Feicui, and told them to go to each room, and invite all the young masters and young ladies to come and listen to the opera at night.

Ming Zhu and Fei Cui glanced at each other, both thought: He usually doesn't like to get together with his siblings, why would he think of setting up a stage today and invite everyone to come and listen to the play?It really is strange!The two thought about it, but they didn't dare to ask any more questions, they just took orders.

When Fei Cui came to Taxuexuan, she saw Yun Ruo watering the flowers in the yard, so she came over and told about Meng Yushuang's play, Yun Rao nodded and said, "I told the young master that the eldest lady is here too. I also said it, so you don’t have to run anymore.”

Emerald thanked her and went on her own.

Yun Ruo entered the room and repeated what Fei Cui said just now: "Second Young Master said that he wanted to make amends to Young Master, so he set up a stage. Please come and watch."

After Meng Yuzhi heard this, she thought Meng Yushuang had some regrets and felt a little relieved, and said, "Cousin, look..."

"Well, he intends to invite, how can I refuse."

Meng Yuzhi smiled, and then chatted with Song Yinsheng about some trivial matters. Not long after, Mrs. Su came again, and after entering the door, she said directly: "It's because of two actors, but I have to make a scene twice. These two young masters are too willing to get angry. It's gone!" Although this Su Pei is still a maid at this time, she is the big maid in charge of the garden, and she will become a member of Meng Yuxuan's room later, so there are some things that other maids dare not say, but Su Pei dares to say , even Meng Yuzhi can't say it, but Su Pei can say it.

"Twice?" Meng Yuzhi looked suspiciously at Su Pei and then at Song Yinsheng.

Song Yinsheng shook his head and said, "What twice, nothing."

Seeing what Song Yinsheng said, Su Pei couldn't say it anymore, so she changed the subject and said, "Master, the new maid, Hua Nongying, just received a letter from her family saying that her old lady is gone. She has been home for two days, and Mr. Mo has already agreed, it depends on what you mean."

"Well, since Mr. Mo agreed, let's ask her to go back. Tell her, the maids in the room, no matter how big or small, are rewarded eight taels after death. Tell her to go to the cashier to get the money before going!" Song Yinsheng didn't need to check the accounts, so he said clearly.

Su Pei complied, went back to Panyue Tower, and told Hua Nongying what Song Yinsheng had said. Hua Nongying originally only thought of herself as a new maid, and in less than three days, there may not be any silver rewards in the garden. Knowing that he was the same as others, he was very relieved, went to the cashier to get the money, and went home.

Su Pei went upstairs and saw Mo Yun beside the bed looking sullen and unhappy. She didn't know why, but she was afraid that she was sick, so she thought to herself: It will be like this eight days out of ten, so she came over and asked, "My lord, but Where does it hurt?"

"It's not uncomfortable."

"Why is the young master unhappy?"

"Just now a sister came over and said yes, it was in the Second Young Master's room. The Second Young Master set up a stage in Tingfeng Tower and asked to have a meal. Go and listen." Mo Yun said in embarrassment what Mingzhu had just said. .

Su Yu is a smart person, knowing that Mo Yun is afraid of the second son, so he is not happy when he encounters difficulties, so he stepped forward and persuaded: "Young master, there is no need to do this, when the time comes, the second young lady, the third young master, the third young lady, Mr. Song, and Mr. Mei will all be able to do this." Let’s go, wouldn’t it be lively if we all sit together?”

When Mo Yun heard that everyone was going, he felt a little relieved.

After lunch, Mo Yun went to rest on the couch first, in a daze, Su Yu came over and called him: "My lord, it's almost time, shall we go over?"

Mo Yun sat up suddenly after hearing this, and said to himself, don't be too late!Qiao Hongyao came over and waited on Mo Yun to wash and change clothes, and then Mo Yun followed Su Pei to the Tingfeng Building.A stage had already been set up in the building, Song Yinsheng, Mei Ling, and Meng Yuzhi were sitting and talking in front of the stage, but Meng Yushuang was not there.

Seeing Mo Yun coming, Mei Ling greeted first: "Mr. Mo, this way!"

Mo Yun smiled at him, walked over, and called out in a low voice: "Song, Brother Song, Sister Meng."

The two nodded, signaling for him to sit down, and Mo Yun sat next to Mei Ling and talked to him.

Emerald and Pearl brought tea.

Meng Yuzhi quietly took Fei Cui's arm, and secretly asked in her ear: "Has your son prepared some snacks and dried fruits?"

After hearing this, Jade blushed and shook her head slightly.

Meng Yuzhi whispered again: "I knew it, you are coming to my room soon, I told them to prepare something simple, bring it here!"

Emerald nodded and went to work.

At this time, a cardamom girl walked into the building, wearing a pink dress and a blue jade hairpin on her head.Mo Yun didn't know him, so he looked at Mei Ling. Mei Ling knew what he meant, and introduced: "She is Miss San, Yulan, who is two years younger than Yuqi."

When Meng Yulan came, she only said hello to Song Yinsheng and Meng Yuzhi, and then sat down by herself.

Song Yinsheng said: "A while ago you said you were uncomfortable and wanted to see you, but you were afraid that you would be jealous. How about this meeting?"

Meng Yulan smiled lightly and said, "Okay."

Meng Yuzhi looked at her, and said fondly, "You are born with a eccentric heart. You can't make excuses when you have big and small banquets on weekdays. Now that you are on the stage, you are upside down."

Meng Yulan gave an "um" as a response.

At this time, Meng Yushuang came out from upstairs, holding the playlist in his hand, and said with a smile: "I'm happy to hear it for everyone today. I will beat the gongs and drums in the Changgui troupe, and invite many Huadan Xiaosheng. It's a playlist, if you want to hear anything, just order it." After finishing speaking, he spread the playlist on the table and sat down by himself.

Seeing that everyone had no intention of reading the list, Meng Yuzhi quickly smiled and said, "I'm going to order first!" After speaking, she took it over and opened it, and finally ordered "Legend of the White Snake", and then passed the play list to Song Yinsheng.

Song Yinsheng flipped the pages, and said, "Let's sing "Harmony of Generals and Prime Ministers"!"

Song Yinsheng passed it to Meng Yulan, and Meng Yulan took it, but without flipping through it, she put it on the table again, and said gracefully: "I only heard that "Revival" came out, second brother, tell them to dress up this first." , I went after listening."

Meng Yushuang nodded, and said, "It's rare for my sister to show her face, so I'll go and order it right away." Then, he got up and went to the inner room.

Not long after, the drums sounded, and it was "Han Hun Ji", and Meng Guan and Yao Guan, who were fully dressed, stepped onto the stage.Mengguan has a handsome appearance, with the temperament of a gardener, and he is accompanied by Liu Mengmei; Yaoguan has a charming figure, which is five points like a woman, and it is Du Liniang who is dressing up.The two met at the Changting pavilion, and one sang: "Dream back to Yingtiao, chaotic years are everywhere, people stand in small courtyards and deep courtyards, smoke is exhausted, and embroidery threads are thrown away, this spring pass is like last year. Xiaolai looks at the plum pass You are wearing Yichun bun on your side just leaning on the railing. Cutting constantly, the arrangement is still chaotic, boring for no reason. I have ordered the flowering Yingyan to take advantage of the spring to see. The cloud bun is combed and it is still facing the mirror, and the clothes are about to be changed to add more fragrance. "

Another sang: "The silk of Qingqing blows to the courtyard, swaying like a thread of spring. I stop for a long time to fix the flowers, but I don't see water chestnut flowers stealing half of people's faces, and the colorful clouds are swaying. How can I show my whole body when I am in a fragrant boudoir."

Another sang: "You know that the skirts and shirts are full of emerald greens, and the eight treasures of the crystal flower hairpins. You know that my love is nature all my life? It's just that no one sees the benefits of spring. The shameful flower closes the moon and trembles sadly."

The other sang: "It turns out that purple and red are blooming all over, like this, they are all paid to the ruins of the well. No matter how beautiful the day is, it is a pleasure to enjoy someone's courtyard. The morning flies and the evening rolls, the clouds and green pavilions, the rain and the wind, the smoke and waves. People in Chuan Jinping think this time is so cheap."

Mo Yun first saw the appearance of these two actors, they really looked like the characters in the story, and they played a beautiful character, so he was a little curious about their posture after removing makeup; and then the singing of the two, they were even more beautiful. Words, Mengguan’s voice is as crisp as a bell, clear and melodious, Yaoguan’s voice is like a lark, soft and lingering; moreover, it is the pomp of the two, Mengguan’s actions are like a spirit rabbit, his behavior is smooth and natural, and Yaoguan’s movements are like Virgin, with a shy and affectionate figure, and an elegant character; finally, what attracted Mo Yun was the play: Tang Xianzu's "The Peony Pavilion" was something he had never heard of before, it was a similar story, and it was also He has never seen it.The poems and essays I read on weekdays either have no stories, or are the same as "Historical Records", "Biography" and "Book of Filial Piety". Exquisite, novel plot, touching and imaginative?The end is a silly word.

Others have already heard the play and already know the story, so they are not as obsessed with Mo Yun, but they are still a little impressed by the wonderful singing skills of this duo.

After the song was sung, Meng Yulan really went.

Song Yinsheng pointed out that "General Xianghe" was a story about Lian Po pleading guilty to Lin Xiangru, but he pointed it to Meng Yushuang.It's just that the singing voices of the two old students are not the directors of Mengguan and Yaoguan, so they didn't appear on the stage. They were sung by two elderly Danes in the Changgui Opera Troupe. After singing this scene, I finally regained my spirit.

"The Legend of the White Snake" is the story of the White Snake being crushed on the Leifeng Pagoda. Mengguan dressed up as Xu Xian, and Yaoguan dressed up as the White Snake. They sang the section of the Broken Bridge in the West Lake. The people present were full of their ears and hearts.
