The second half of the night during the Mid-Autumn Festival Lantern Festival is even more lively than the first half of the night.
Yu Shinan woke up from his sleep and heard that his precious granddaughter was missing.
After getting up, he said that he would organize people to look for him, but when he was about to go out, he received news from the Ministry of Justice.
It is said that Mobai Qianzhuang, under the name of Bai Song, sang a water-melody song at the lantern show that night. Unfortunately, the emperor heard it, which made the emperor leave the scene angrily and ordered a strict investigation into the matter.
Now Bai Song has been arrested, and another student, Lu Yao, has also been arrested.
Yu Shinan is so smart. Hearing Lu Yao's name, he instantly understood what happened.
The water-melody song that made the emperor furious must have been written by Lu Yao!
Yu Shinan secretly scolded these guys for not knowing the basics, and blamed himself for not saying anything in the first place. Such stupid lyrics were written quietly, and there were still people composing music and singing them in public? Isn't this looking for death?!
"Hurry and prepare the carriage. I want to enter the palace to meet the saint."
Yu Ji was also a little anxious: "Grandpa, it's so late..."
"Late? It's never too late to go see the emperor! You kids really don't know what the world is like. When will you be able to save me some time?"
"But where is my sister?"
"You should line up more people to look for it!"
Soon, a carriage left Yu Shinan Mansion and headed towards the palace.
…
Everyone is temporarily detained in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and Mr. Liu has transferred several principal criminals to await trial.
They are Bai Song, Lu Yao and Mingyue respectively.
One person composes the music, another person writes the lyrics, and another person sings.
Three people, no one can escape from each other.
The three people were locked in a larger awaiting trial cell. From the cell, you could see the chief interrogator's chair not far away, as well as various shocking instruments of torture behind it.
Mingyue was still a little dazed, and she still couldn't figure out what happened. She was hiding in a corner, shivering, and didn't dare to say a word.
Both Bai Song and Lu Yao were relatively calm, sitting cross-legged side by side, seemingly closing their eyes to rest.
But both of them have their own thoughts. What Bai Song is thinking about is the various situations outside the Criminal Department at this moment. How many people will get the news, and how many people will run to help him? How much hope does he have to leave safely?
Lu Yao is even simpler. He only has pride and satisfaction now.
The three of them are connected by fate. They must live together and die together. What is there to be afraid of?
In his opinion, all this is the price Mingyue should pay for letting herself down!
And isn't this Bai Song always unexpected? When we get to the Ministry of Punishment, let's see what other tricks you can come up with!
"To this day, we don't have to fight over Miss Mingyue, and Miss Mingyue doesn't have to choose between you and me. We are all destined to die together. Let's die together. We have each other's company, and we will not be alone on the road to hell.
"
Bai Song didn't speak, and still closed his eyes to rest.
Bai Song's indifference made Lu Yao a little unhappy. He resented Bai Song's dismissive attitude the most, as if he, Lu Yao, did not exist in Bai Song's world!
"Isn't it just some money? What's so great about it? Let's see how much money your family has today to bribe officials from the Ministry of Justice!"
Bai Song still ignored him.
"Hmph! You don't still think you can survive, do you? To tell you the truth, tonight is just the beginning. When the sun rises in the east, my water tune song will definitely spread in Chang'an City, and everyone in Chang'an City will talk about it!
My lyrics can arouse the hearts of the world's literati about their family and country, and countless literati and poets will write articles by then! I will use my death to change the emperor's decision-making, so that he must use more severe means to punish the defeated.
Turks! When I, Lu Yao, die, my poems will be remembered forever, and I will be a hero in the hearts of literati all over the world! And you are just a foil without a name! Hahaha!"
"Your lyrics?" Bai Song suddenly gave Lu Yao a cold look and glanced disdainfully.
"What? Not convinced? That's right. With your ability, you don't know how to appreciate it!"
"Hahaha..." Bai Song laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"Let me tell you the truth, I have seen this poem of yours, I have seen it thousands of years later! Hahaha... I have really seen "Water Melody Songtou - Drinking to the Slanting Sun"! But this poem is not at all
Your signature! The person who wrote this poem will appear hundreds of years later! Do you know what I have been thinking about? Although your talent and learning are not enough to be famous throughout the ages, you can always leave your mark in the vast history.
My own name! But I can’t find anything about Lu Yao’s deeds despite my memory! So, I can’t guarantee that the three of us can leave alive, but I can guarantee that you, Lu Yao, will always be an unknown person!”
"..." Lu Yao was a little confused. To be precise, he didn't understand what Bai Song was talking about at all.
Bai Song was really curious. He didn't know whether it was due to historical confusion or other reasons. This song "Water Melody Song - Drinking to the Slanting Sun" that should have appeared in the Song Dynasty would come from Lu Yao's mouth.
Bai Song saw Lu Yao's dislike, but also saw Lu Yao's talent. At the same time, he also saw from Lu Yao's body the numerous bones buried in the long river of history. China has no shortage of talents, no shortage of excellent poems, and perhaps countless more.
A work a hundred times better than Su Shi's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" was wasted away by time.
Bai Song knew that what Lu Yao wanted in his life could never be granted. The nameless foil he mentioned would eventually become the truest portrayal of himself. He was destined to be a tragic figure.
Thinking of this, when Bai Song looked at Lu Yao again, no matter what he said or did, there was no emotion of hatred in his heart, but only compassion.
…
In the blink of an eye, the lantern show has come to an end.
After the singing and dancing of Miss Fu Shou An Shi Shi, it is difficult for anyone to cover up its edge.
The following programs seemed dull to the tourists, and they gradually lost interest.
The last program came from Chen's Bookstore, a merchant who had just arrived in the capital and had no reputation. He also invited some girl to dance.
Just listening to it seems boring and dispensable, so there is no need to read it.
The crowd gradually dispersed, and there were far fewer people than before.
After the host announced the song and dance program, he suddenly returned to the stage and shouted: "Everyone, everyone, Chen's Bookstore has temporarily changed the program."
Changing the program temporarily?
This is the first time we meet tonight!
People who originally wanted to leave stopped and wanted to hear what else was going on.
"Chen's Bookstore changed the song "Shui Diao Ge Tou"."
"What? It's "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" again!"
"Ouch, let's go, let's go, it's so boring!"
"Isn't this the tenth time I've heard this?"
"Except for the one at the back, which is pretty good, what are the others? This one doesn't even have the name of the performer, and I don't know where to find the singer? Oh, it's really boring."
There was a roar below the stage, and everyone's interest dropped to freezing point.
But this does not affect the performance of Chen's Book Club.
A girl of fourteen or fifteen years old walked onto the stage awkwardly with a piano in her arms. She looked extremely reserved and looked around. Although she was dressed very delicately and was very serious, she was a girl who had come from all walks of life.
She is still a lot immature in comparison, like a bud in a lotus pond that is blooming, hiding in the most inconspicuous corner, and no one thinks about how she will bloom beautifully one day.
A timid girl really has no way of attracting people, her eyes are gone, and the crowd disappears.
The girl on the stage enjoys solitude and stubbornly looks for the person she wants to find.
"Tell him that you are a girl at the right time."
Yu Qingqing is remembering this sentence!
She felt that on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, with the bright moon as her company, she put on the clothes she thought looked good, mustered up the courage to walk on the stage, and let the white moonlight in her heart see what she should look like. This is what the little girl wanted.
The right time.
She thought about Bai Song's various looks when he saw her on stage, some were surprised, some were funny, some opened his mouth, or his eyes widened, but she never thought that Bai Song would not be able to see Bai Song after he came on stage, and neither would Bai Song.
To yourself!
Yu Qingqing had been dressing up for a long time. It was rare that the Chen family's sister was kind enough to leave such an important stage to her to do some mischief, but she didn't see Bai Song when she came on stage!
She glanced around and saw that there was no one around the counter of Mo Bai Qianzhuang. She guessed that Bai Song must have left with someone, and she felt disappointed.
But she couldn't leave like this, her performance still had to go on, no matter whether it was good or bad, she had to give an explanation to Sister Chen.
Her singing skills are not good, and her piano skills are terrible, but she can use the lyrics of the Bai Song Dynasty to respect the bright moon from a distance...
