Mei Ruoyan just smiled sweetly and said softly: "Young Master is too modest. I think he is very impressive. He must be a man who has read many poems and books. This little girl hopes to appreciate his masterpieces."
Shao Xi smiled awkwardly, "Young lady, you look up to me too much. It's good to be able to make a few random remarks. How dare you claim to be a master?"
Mei Ruoyan didn't say anything more, she just turned around and took out a long purple bamboo flute from a wooden box, turned to Shao Xi and said: "Then please master, please finish the poem before the end of my flute music. Wherever this music is played, it will be accompanied by the son's verses, and no one else's will be used."
Shao Xi bowed slightly towards Mei Ruoyan and raised his hand in a "please" gesture.
Mei Ruoyan also smiled lightly and raised the long flute to her lips.
Following the melodious melody, a song slowly played out from the long flute. The Xiao Qu is low and slow, with an elegant tune, and is like weeping and complaining. There seems to be endless bitterness and sorrow in the sound of the flute, as if there are all kinds of tangled unwillingness and helplessness hidden in the heart. The person playing the flute seems to be using this The sound of the flute expresses the pain of parting and the longing for those who are far away.
Shao Xi was stunned when he heard this music. He didn't expect that the Xiao music played by the woman with picturesque features and dimples in front of him could be so sad and pathos. It seemed so incompatible with the festive atmosphere of the Shangyuan Festival. He didn't know why she wanted to play in this kind of music. Occasionally play such a song?
It has to be said that sad songs always touch people's hearts. With the sound of the flute, the crowd under the float immediately became quiet. It seemed that everyone present heard something from the flute music?
Shao Xi couldn't help but feel a little sad when he heard Mei Ruoyan's melodious flute sound, and he softly recited:
Looking at the orchid boat while crossing the rain, after thousands of miles of mist.
The peach blossoms were far away last night, and the quilt is soaked in the morning.
After reciting this poem, Shao Xi walked to the calligraphy table on the float and knelt down. He picked up the brush on the table, dipped it in fragrant ink and wrote another poem on a piece of plain brocade.
After the song was played, Mei Ruoyan's eyes seemed to be shining with tears. I wonder if it was because the flute music moved her, or because she had an unknown experience that made the flute sound so touching?
At this time, the crowd in the audience seemed to be infected by this sad music. They were all surprisingly quiet, and they seemed to be still immersed in the melancholy mood of the flute music just now.
After a long time, someone threw a bouquet onto the float and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Mei Ruoyan! Mei Ruoyan!"
Good guy! The first person started to speak, and the audience immediately returned to its state of frenzy. Countless bouquets of flowers flew towards the float, and the group of rough gentlemen in the audience returned to their previous crazy state. , shouting constantly, "Mei Ruoyan! Mei Ruoyan! Mei Ruoyan...!"
Shao Xi was startled by the inexplicable voice, and said in her heart: "You guys change your emotions so fast! People say that lunatics are acting and fools are watching the show. Why are all the people watching the show now acting like lunatics?" Same? Can’t there be something more normal?”
At this time, the top and bottom of the float were like two worlds. The bottom of the float was noisy and crazy, but the people on the float were at peace.
Putting the long flute back into the wooden box, Mei Ruoyan walked up to Shao Xi and bowed gently again. He said slowly: "The young master's poem is very good, and it just fits the mood of this song. The little girl likes it very much. I wonder if I will be able to play a song with the young master again in the future? If the young master is willing, the little girl will come to Mingfengfang We look forward to your arrival, Sir."
While talking, Mei Ruoyan took out a wooden plaque about one inch wide and three inches long from her waist and handed it to Shao Xi.
Shao Xi took it in his hand and looked down. The sign is made of mahogany. There are three small characters written on the top of the front - "Mingfengfang" and the word "Benefactor" written below. Turn the sign over and look at it again. On the back is Mei Ruoyan's name.
This thing is called the Enke Ling, which is given by the musicians of the music studio to regular customers who spend a lot of money and have similar interests as a voucher. With this patronage order, when you go to the orchestra again, you can get priority reception from the actor on the card. The actor will even refuse the invitations of other guests for the patronage of the patronage card, only to serve the patronage exclusively.
Shao Xi has never been to Mingfengfang and has never met Mei Ruoyan, so naturally he can't talk about spending money lavishly. At this time, if the other party gives this favor order to himself, it means that he feels that he has a close connection with him, appreciates him, and is willing to serve him exclusively without asking about money. This is different from treating other benefactors. This is a reflection of his character. and recognition of talent.
In fact, from a certain perspective, this can be regarded as a reward for this event, but whether the reward is given or not depends on whether Mei Ruoyan is satisfied with the people who board the float.
In Daliang City, no one has ever received the favor order from Mei Ruoyan. The gift of the favor order to Shao Xi this time means that as long as Shao Xi goes to Mingfengfang, he will receive Mei Ruoyan's dedicated service. This is what many men squeezed under the float dream of but can't get.
Shao Xi saluted Mei Ruoyan and said: "I would like to thank the girl for her wrong love. I will go to Mingfengfang to visit her the next day. I accepted this sign. I also wrote a poem to give to the girl. Even if This must be my return gift!"
With that said, Shao Xi turned around and held the plain brocade on the desk in his hands and handed it to Mei Ruoyan.
Mei Ruoyan raised her hand to take the piece of Fang Sujin, and looked at the handwriting on the brocade with flying dragons and phoenixes, like flowing clouds and flowing water, and couldn't help but nod lightly in praise.
After reading it, recite the verse above softly.
Since ancient times, farewell has been sad, and the sky is full of confusion.
The sound of the flute makes those who hear it feel heartbroken.
Shao Xi explained: "I heard that there is sadness in the girl's flute music. Although I don't know what the girl has experienced, I presumed from this song that the girl must be separated from her relatives by mountains and rivers and have not seen each other for a long time. Her heart is filled with longing for her. Because of my love, I use the flute to express my feelings, which is why I am so sad and sad. I wrote this poem according to the context of this song. I did not ask the girl’s intention. I also ask the girl to forgive me for my presumptuous mistake. "
After hearing what Shao Xi said, Mei Ruoyan was slightly surprised. She didn't expect that the person in front of her could sense the sadness and melancholy in her heart with just a flute song. It seemed that this person did not only care about his appearance like ordinary people, but knew how to look inside and empathize with others. Such a person This was the first time she had encountered him since elementary school. I didn’t expect that there really are such considerate people in this world! Isn't this the confidant I've been looking for?
Mei Ruoyan looked grateful and bowed to Shao Xi again.
"This gift from the young master is extremely precious. The little girl will embroider this plain material into a brocade handkerchief and carry it with her at all times, so as not to forget the kindness of the young master."
When Shao Xi heard that Mei Ruoyan wanted to embroider her poems into a brocade handkerchief and carry it with her every day, she felt a little embarrassed for a moment. After all, he just did it casually and didn't think too much about it, and his unintentional But the other party paid so much attention to it, but his previous actions seemed too casual.
"I am deeply honored that this random work of mine has been treated so favorably by the girl. I just have one thing to say, I don't know whether I should say it or not?"
Mei Ruoyan pursed her lips and smiled, "How can the young master be so talented as a random act? The young master is really too modest. Since you and I already appreciate each other, the young master should be able to tell you what you have to say."
"Girls are more beautiful than Chang'e. For girls, it is naturally a great blessing in life. However, if a person only seeks happiness in his heart during his life, all things external to him are vain. When parents are born, they only care about themselves. Nine times out of ten, life will be unsatisfactory. If Spending all your good years on such sorrow and sadness is really a waste of time. I am bold, and I want to persuade the girl to let go of the sadness and sadness in her heart, see more of the beauty in this world, and fill her heart with happiness. Life is too short. A hundred years, a lifetime of sorrow and a lifetime of joy. Why should you let your life be spent in depression? I hope the girl will smile at the world. Even if there are all kinds of dissatisfaction, we must believe that the past has passed after all, and what is to come will eventually come. Arrival is like the rainbow that will always appear between the sky and the earth after a torrential rain."
After saying this, Shao Xi saw tears flashing in Mei Ruoyan's eyes. He knew that this girl must have gone through a lot of hardships. After all, all actors have their own reasons.
Mei Ruoyan asked with a serious face: "Young Master is the son of a noble family? Do you fulfill your filial piety in front of your parents every day? Has Young Master been well-dressed and well-fed since he was a child, carefree? If so, does Young Master know the sufferings of ordinary people like us? ? Master, how do you know that I don’t want to smile at the world and be happy all my life? This world is bleak and life is impermanent. If I had been happy, how could I choose to be sad? There are too many alternatives when walking in the world."
This series of questions is actually the answer, which expresses all the sadness and unwillingness in this woman's heart. If she came from a well-off family with both parents, and if she had not experienced any hardships in life, how could she ask such a question? The world is unfair. Even if the world is in peace and prosperity, there will still be many people struggling at the bottom of the world.
Shao Xi smiled bitterly, because every question from Mei Ruoyan was like a knife coated with salt, piercing his heart one after another.
The so-called young master from an aristocratic family, who was filial to his knees, well-dressed and well-fed, and carefree, seemed to have never had anything to do with him. His parents in his previous life were ordinary people, and they all left him early. However, he had never even met his parents in this life, but he still had to bear the burden of revenge.
He has never enjoyed the things that a young man from an aristocratic family should enjoy, and his parents have not given him many opportunities to fulfill his filial piety. As for having good clothes, good food, good food, and being carefree, it has nothing to do with him. No matter in his previous life or this life, he has always been the person at the bottom struggling for food and clothing.
Everything he has now was obtained through the suffering and even lives of many people. He doesn't feel that he is very lucky.
On the contrary, these things pressed into his heart and often made him feel very painful. If he could, he would rather not have everything in front of him. He just hoped that those who were suffering would not have to endure it anymore, and that those who died could live again. But that's impossible, so he wants to live and live well.
Live well for those who endure suffering and sacrifice their lives for you...
