Although the temperature has warmed up a bit in the past few days before the New Year, young girls like Wan Jinlan and Xiao Sirui are still wrapped up very warmly when going out, most of them wearing cloaks over their jackets and skirts.
However, the woman dancing on the flower boat was dressed very coolly, with large areas of snow-white skin exposed, and the veil wrapped around her body looked very thin.
Like Xiao Sirui, the girls all leaned their heads to look at the flower boat opposite.
The younger Shen Qiongzhi opened the window wider and commented with a sharp gaze, "That waist is so thin and soft."
Xiao Sirui's eyes sparkled: "I guess he has never had a full meal."
Shen Xingyu said, "Men like this, so they are asked to do this. Why doesn't anyone like it because we women like it..."
Before he finished speaking, everyone understood.
Xiao Sirui pinched her and said, "You're engaged, and you still dare to think about these nonsense."
Wan Jinlan laughed and joked: "You mean you can think about these things before you get engaged? I didn't expect that Sister Sirui, who is usually well-behaved, has a pretty good mind..."
Xiao Sirui tried to twist Wan Jinlan again, "I told you to stop talking nonsense. I'm going to teach you a lesson today."
The girls talked and laughed, played and joked, ate snacks and drank tea, and admired the dancing opposite.
In the end, before the dancer had finished her dance, a pot-bellied man came up to her and took her into his arms, and they drank wine together.
The following scene was not suitable for the girls to watch, so the boat started moving again.
When the boat reached the center of the lake, the sounds of stringed instruments and wind instruments coming from all directions became very noisy. After passing this section, the number of boats around also decreased.
Everyone heard a mournful and sad sound of the piano.
It would have been fine if he hadn't paid attention, but as soon as he paid attention, Wan Jinlan felt unwell.
"Isn't this a clip from 'Xiaoxiang Shuiyun'? Why does it sound like my husband is dead?"
Xiao Sirui burst out laughing, her shoulders shaking with laughter.
Sister Wan’s words are really interesting, and her descriptions are really very apt.
Obviously, this piece of music expresses the profound emotion of broken mountains and rivers and the sorrow of heaven and earth, but the pianist played out the sad, delicate, sticky, mournful and gentle daughter's love.
"The moon is cold over the cold river, the Milky Way is bright, and the water and clouds are reflected in the diamond-shaped mirror..."
The tone was so gentle that it gave Wan Jinlan goosebumps.
On the joyous occasion of the Lantern Festival, who is playing such a lifeless piece of music?
No, it’s not the song that’s lifeless, it’s the way the playing and singing are lifeless.
Wan Jinlan endured it again and again, and simply sat down in front of the piano and played it a few times.
I hadn't played the piano for some time. After I got familiar with the piano, I played "Cold Moon over the Cold River" along with the music from the other side.
The voice over there is sad and gentle, while the voice over here carries some anger, and it sounds crisp and clear.
Xiao Feng returned to Yangzhou City last night. This time, he made significant progress in his private investigation into the salt permit issue.
The governor of Yangzhou must have received some news, otherwise he would not have been on guard before. Today, he invited him to come to the lake to discuss business with a very attentive look.
The atmosphere in Yangzhou's officialdom and business circles is really not very good. When discussing important matters, they even invited people to play the piano and sing music.
After arriving, they didn't say a word about business before the other party started singing.
There was no grace in his piano playing. His voice was indeed good, but it was so sticky that it made his scalp tingle and he wanted to escape from the scene.
Even so, the governor of Yangzhou asked him with satisfaction and pride how he sang. How was it? Could he really not hear it?
"I see the shadows of fishing rods in the distance, and a sheepskin coat leaning against someone's fence...
Raise the moon as a matchmaker, point to the sky as a witness..."
Suddenly, an angry, high-pitched but in-tune piano sound floated into everyone's ears. The singer was affected by the sudden and unexpected melody and sang in a different tune.
Xiao Feng shook his head calmly: "Master Zhou, the actor you hired is not yet up to the standard."
As soon as Xiao Feng finished speaking, the actors who were singing and playing the piano on the deck behind the pearl curtain in the cold wind even played the wrong notes.
The one who played the piano like fighting seemed to have won a battle, and one could hear the meaning of pursuing the victory from the sound of the piano.
Lord Zhou was somewhat annoyed. The actors and actresses were simply not up to standard and could even make mistakes while playing the piano or singing a song.
He originally wanted to promote this beautiful and talented actress, and take advantage of the opportunity to pass her to the King of Qi tonight, so that he could say a few words for him. But now, people think you are really not that good after listening to your piano playing. How can they like you?
Also, who was that ungrateful person over there who dared to ruin his plans? Treating the piano conversation like an argument was like nothing more than a chance to arouse any romantic feelings!
Seeing that the actor had simply stopped, Lord Zhou said angrily, "Why did you stop? Why don't you continue?"
When the actor heard the sound of the piano coming from the other side, he hesitated and simply stopped playing the piano. He sang along with the sound of the piano coming from the wind.
"In this turbid world, I am clear, awake to the gossips of others, my heart is guided only by poetry, I obey fate and destiny..."
Because the sound of the piano was vast, with the unrestrained and majestic feeling of the sky being high for birds to fly and the sea being wide for fish to leap, it was not as sad as the actor's previous playing. Therefore, when she sang along, her voice was not as gentle as before, but rather more masculine.
The sound of the piano and the voice were inexplicably harmonious and much more pleasant to the ears. Xiao Feng closed his eyes slightly.
Wan Jinlan did not hear the piano music from the other side anymore, and simply finished playing the two sections after "Cold Moon over the Cold River", "Clear Waves Across the Miles" and "Shadows Containing All Things".
The actress was quite adaptable and did not sing the song as if her husband had died.
Unconsciously, the two boats were getting closer and closer, and the sound of the piano seemed to ring in my ears.
Xiao Feng looked through the window at the approaching ship, and the first thing he saw was the logo representing Prince Guangling.
After Wan Jinlan finished playing, she stood up and met Xiao Feng's gaze. She turned her head and saw a woman sitting on the deck of the opposite boat, dressed in cool clothes, as beautiful as a lotus under the moon.
This woman must be the actress who responded to her music earlier.
Wan Jinlan glanced at Youling, turned around with an indescribable look on his face, snorted in his heart, "You really know how to enjoy yourself," and went back to the cabin.
Everything she was thinking was shown on her face, and in the eyes of someone, it made his expression freeze.
The two boats passed each other sideways, and Xiao Feng's patience was exhausted.
"Master Zhou, it's so cold, I don't want to stay here with you. I've given you my face, but will you give me the account book?"
Obviously, Xiao Feng's expression could be said to be normal, but when Lord Zhou met his calm eyes, he shuddered.
Mr. Zhou likes to go around in circles when doing things. When he suddenly meets someone who is straightforward, he will smile smugly and not know what to say for a moment.
He felt helpless. Logically speaking, his good colleagues and wealthy people had already tried to kill the King of Qi more than once, but this man was just lucky enough to survive!
He smiled stiffly and began to promote the actress outside the beaded curtain: "It's cold and the night is chilly, why not let Yun'er accompany you..."
Before he could finish his words, Xiao Feng stood up and interrupted him, "Tomorrow is the deadline I give to Master Zhou. If you..."
"laugh"
It was the sound of a knife entering flesh.
Lord Zhou, who had previously had a smug smile on his face, fell on the boat with his eyes open.
