On the fourth day of the fifth month, the day before the Dragon Boat Festival, the streets and alleys of Bianliang City were already filled with the fragrance of rice dumplings. Each household hung calamus and mugwort leaves. Even at the city gate, calamus and mugwort leaves were hung with them. The crowd was filled with festive atmosphere of the festival.

The carriage drove out of the city gate and headed towards the bank of the Yellow River.

Cotton clouds floated in the sky and left Bianliang City. The sight of the eyes was flat. Trees were planted by the official road, and occasionally village fields, chickens and dogs and pedestrians. The tributaries of the river passed by the village. After a while, the carriage arrived at the destination. It was a manor hidden in green forests, built along the nearby rivers, and there were several large and small farms next to it. It could be seen that they were all gardens of wealthy families.

Ning Yi came out of Bianliang City today to go to the invitation Li Shishi had proposed before. The Dragon Boat Festival was approaching, and the courtesan of the capital was not leisurely. She had gone out to visit friends to find teachers, but when she returned, her days were actually delayed because she went north with the birth gift fleet. When encountering major events like Dragon Boat Festival, in recent days, except for some guests who could not be pushed away, she was rehearsing programs that needed to perform on Dragon Boat Festival. The farm here is the industry of the Alum Tower. Today is the last day of rehearsal. She told her mother Li Yun that she would find peace and come here to train, and invited a few friends to come to have a private party.

Since the one who was going to meet this time was a woman, Xiaochan was no longer his maid. When she went out, Ning Yi did not bring anyone else. She just followed Dongzhu, a servant who was traveling north, and came over alone. After reporting his name, a maid greeted him in. Before he could reach the inner courtyard, he heard the sound of silk and bamboo coming, and a woman was singing lyrics and songs.

"......The sparse yellow plum rain. The special direction is another 500-5. The skeletons are covered with gold, grass and catkins are filled with jade, and the scenery is still Jingchu..."

"It's the girl who is practicing the newly written words of Zhou Bangyan and Zhou Daren."

The maid led the way while introducing it, and obviously knew the lethality of Zhou Bangyan's poems on ordinary people.

Turning over the small door in front, he arrived at a ventilated hall with curtains hanging around it, which was quite cool. The girl Shishi danced her skirt and sleeves in the hall, and with the cooperation of a group of musicians, she sang the new poem. There were two people sitting in the best scenery in the hall. One of them was Yu Hezhong, and the other one was in his early twenties, but it seemed to be more calmer than Yu Hezhong. When Ning Yi came in, the girl Shishi in the hall turned her head and smiled at him. Her smile was clear and contained the joy of meeting her old friends. She was not as charming as the rumored courtesans in the capital. Almost even Ning Yi would be unconsciously infected.

In terms of effect, such a smile is even much more attractive than Yun Zhu and Jin'er's smile and expression when treating others. Perhaps for Yun Zhu and Jin'er, the life that was like that was trying hard to rise and fall in the waves and trying hard to find the direction, but for her, it might be the ease of Lingbo dancing.

She smiled and gestured to Ning Yi, but Shishi did not stop. While singing the new lyrics that were said to be written by Zhou Bangyan, she danced slowly. She didn't dance fast, but she had a pleasing temperament in every move. She was elegant and grand. Ning Yi walked around. She nodded and showed off with Yu Hezhong and the other person. After sitting down, she listened to the song.

"... The shirt is cut with a tiger. The hairpin is added with red talismans, the arms are wrapped in red twill. The powder is fragrant and fragrant, and the wind is called to fan the small window. Shen Xiang is far away. I advise you not to drink and feel nostalgia..."

"...Slowly slap in the oriole's throat, tapping on the elephant board is better than reading the Lisao chapters. The fragrance of lotus is dark. It gradually introduces the sacred place to the sacred place, and is drunk in the depths of the hometown. Lying on the river head, painting the boat and stacking drums..."

Ning Yi has been listening to Yun Zhu sing songs for so long. Although his appreciation of poetry and music is not worthy of everyone, he has always entered the door. If you talk about it, Yun Zhu's piano music has returned to nature, especially when singing it to Ning Yi and Jin'er, it is rarely fancy, and the pure sound can make people immerse themselves in it, as if cleaning the mind, and the head and even the whole body are like being massaged by the gentle voice, and even Ning Yi often makes some modern songs for her to sing, she can always find the feeling Ning Yi wants, either joy, sadness or affection.

In this sense, whether the musicians on Li Shishi's side are good at their skills or singing skills that she shows while dancing, they are still a little different from Yun Zhu. But what appears on the other side is not the ultimate single one. The singing voices, eyes, and dance postures of the girls in front of them are like making perfect hints, and they are all melting into a picture.

Although the dance was not fast, she almost showed countless styles in her singing, including the festive season of the Dragon Boat Festival, the tranquility when the rain fell, the girl, the woman, the woman living in the deep boudoir gently swaying the round fan, the young master drinking, and the taxi of studying. These feelings flowed in her eyes, limbs, and singing, and the three-dimensional moment became blurred again, and then turned into a complex world.

The poem was written by Zhou Bangyan. At this time, when I wrote the Dragon Boat Festival, I either just describe the human nature or the Qu Yuan, which was sad when I was moved. Zhou Bangyan's poem also wrote these two, but it did not fall into the inferior. His style of the poem was graceful. The first half of the poem described the Dragon Boat Festival scene was his usual strength, and he wrote in a bunch of flowers. In the second half of the poem, he wrote in nostalgia and "Li Sao". However, in the latter part of the second half of the poem, when "gradually introducing the sect and drunk in the depths of the hometown", he blurted everything in the distance, downplayed everything described, and left the world with complexities.

When Li Shishi sang, his voice and music gradually became lighter, and he ended with "Lying on the river, listening to the river head, painting the boat and stacking drums". The sound gradually became lighter and the movement gradually stopped. However, surprisingly, the movements around him were expanded as a result. The wind blew and the leaves were lightly sounded, and the whole hall seemed to be more three-dimensional. In the hall, the woman perfectly expanded the hint to the whole world.

She lowered her hands and stood there motionlessly, closed her eyes, and let the breeze blowing around her hair. After a while, she suddenly opened her eyes and opened her mouth wide, as if she was shouting "Ah--" but there was no sound. She came to this side after blowing the musicians beside her salute, with a casual attitude: "How? How?"

"good."

The three of them clapped their hands and applauded, and Li Shishi laughed: "Actually, the queue is almost done. I came here to be lazy. I don't know if my mother will scold me..." Then, I introduced the three of them. Apart from Yu Hezhong and Ning Yi, the other one was Chen Sifeng, who had mentioned many times.

In the capital, when encountering a childhood friend, to be fair, most of the three men present were not very interested. It would be fine if they were really friends who had played together, but in fact they were just three people who lived on the streets and were not familiar with each other. Perhaps the one who was really popular with the shaving pick may be Li Shishi, but they had no friendship. There was no hatred between them. Since they got together, it would be okay to get to know each other.

In the following time, several people chatted with each other under the leadership of Li Shishi. Although they often had a good impression of Li Shishi, they did not treat Ning Yi or each other very deliberately at this time. After all, they were just friends. Yu Hezhong met Ning Yi. Chen Sifeng had heard Li Shishi talk about several times before. He knew his identity or talent, but he could not enter the imperial examination. In the following time, although they occasionally mentioned each other's families, they talked about Zhou Bangyan's new words, now the grand event in the capital, Shishi's performance, and so on, and so on.

Ning Yi had not arrived in the capital before. Naturally, he would not be very clear about how popular Li Shishi was in the capital. Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng explained, Shishi either chuckled or added, and responded sincerely and skillfully. For her, it might be a pleasure to get along with a few "old friends" she thought of as a child.

After that, the four of them arrived at the side of the riverside of the village, which was a tributary close to the Yellow River, and the water flow was quite clear. There were pavilions and pavilions stretched out from the riverbed at this end of the manor. The clouds in the sky covered the sunlight, and the pavilions were quite cool. Shishi brought wine and pastries to the servants, and they ate something simple while chatting. There was a small pleasure boat by the river. Several people said they would paddle to the river to play later.

Ning Yi did not forget his business story and asked indirectly what people thought of why the restaurants and brothels made money. Not long after, Shishi called the musician again and rehearsed on the grass beside the pavilion. In fact, it was just a performance for the three of them to see. At this time, they became a little familiar with each other and walked around during the chat. Ning Yi saw a lot of paper folded small flowers hanging in a nearby embroidery room, with handwriting on it. After seeing it, he asked what it was.

In these years, paper was still a relatively expensive thing, especially the paper folded into flowers, which looked quite beautiful and much tougher than ordinary paper. Of course, it was nothing to be placed in later generations, but now, it is probably necessary to go through many processes to achieve such an effect. When he asked, Shishi smiled and explained that these papers were indeed expensive, but many places in the city, especially brothels, were sold. Many talents would buy them to write their poems and then fold them into flowers to give them to the woman they like. Although most of them were delivered to the hands of brothel women, there were many people who achieved marriage, so this paper was also called marriage paper.

"Actually, marriage is like paper..."

Speaking of this, Shishi sighed, then laughed, and told Ning Yi some interesting things between men and women in the brothel. At this time, Yu Hezhong and Chen Sifeng seemed to have something to go on the side or something to say to each other, and left for a while. During Li Shishi's explanation, Ning Yi frowned and thought of something, and then recalled the matter of Yuan Jiner who was troubled. Because of Jiner, Yun Zhu and Xiao Chan may not be emotional. Since girls like to give gifts, they can write love letters and give them to them on the Dragon Boat Festival. Xiaochan likes poetry the most. Yun Zhu may be more calm, but she will definitely like it.

Thinking of this, when asked about Li Shishi's way of making flowers, the other party became curious, and Ning Yi told him that he could give flowers to the woman at home. He was already married, and there was no need to hide the fact that he had a wife, a concubine and a child. He told Li Shishi that he had not given gifts to his family for a long time. Shishi's expression also became gentle, and he found paper to teach Ning Yi to fold flowers.

"But... I teach Brother Ning to pick flowers. Can you give Shishi a look at the poems written by Brother Ning?"

"Ah..." Ning Yi was slightly stunned.

"Shishi promised not to take it out to sing." She raised her fingers and made a serious guarantee. In fact, Ning Yi was slightly surprised that her request was too small, and not taking it out to sing, what does it mean to her? She smiled and nodded in agreement.

In this origami time, the other side of the vision, in the villa next to it, suddenly became lively. The servants ran around, as if they were setting up a party. The grassland on the side of the river was connected. Ning Yi looked over and asked, "Who is there?"

Shishi turned his head and glanced, then everything lowered his head and origami as usual: "Over there, it's a viscount's villa. It's been useless for a long time. Maybe there's a party...we can't afford to mess with it."

I don’t know why she said it was a question of whether she could be provoked or not, but at the same time, a voice was also ringing in the yard next door: "Don’t do this, I asked clearly, the next door is a girl Shishi coming today... I can’t afford to provoke her."

"I'm just a courtesan. What can you afford to offend? And we're not trying to target Li Shishi. We're lending you a place to use it, and it's my mother-in-law..."

"I didn't say that, everyone... You guys are clearly here to find fault. The Shishi girl is there to entertain some friends, so there is no need to be jealous. If I get evil with Shishi girl, what kind of face will I have in the future? How can I stay in the Bianliang Fengyue Field? Hello, everything is easy to discuss..."

A man with a viscount was wailing helplessly, and the people around him rushed in, sweeping the courtyard, cleaning up dust, placing items, and starting to set up the party venue with a bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang
