Chapter 61 Folk Songs Are Like Spring Rivers

The rich meat fragrance floats down from the hillside, mixed in the warm air, making people feel a little lazy. They don’t want to do anything, they just want to drink a pot of good wine and have a feast.

Gao Daquan bid farewell to Liu Xiaomei, but was eventually stopped by Tan Hu and drank wine and ate meat on the hillside.

Xu Ping was promoted step by step, and these subordinates also rose with the flow of water. Needless to say, Tan Hu had his official position, and now he was on par with the Taiping Village. When Xu Ping left office, he would either return to the mainland with Xu Ping, stay in Lingnan and find a job as a post in the nearby prefectures. As for Gao Daquan and Sun Qilang, Xu Ping was unwilling to let them be a promising little military officer. He had no official duties yet, and was appointed by Xu Ping as a sugar business. In fact, it was just an errand and no official position, but Sun Qilang was in charge of various machinery and workshops, while Gao Daquan was in charge of construction outside, such as building roads and bridges, blocking rivers and dams. They were all real powers. Not to mention in Taiping Village, they were well-known figures in the entire Yongzhou.

It was Gao Daquan's identity that the wealthy businessman outside flattered him very much. The hero who was around the throne was just a little bit leaking from the fingers of the priest, which was enough for others to eat.

The only thing that has not changed is Huang Tianbiao. He has completely lost his mind about becoming an official, and has devoted all his thoughts to doing business, becoming a great official in Yongzhou City. There is an official position and Xu Ping's old love is all kinds of care. He can't get rid of his unlucky errands, and he becomes more and more free as he goes.

Xu Ping himself had no feelings, but in fact, the old brothers who were following him unknowingly became an important force in Yongzhou. Whether in public or private, in Yongzhou, except for the governor Feng Shenji, everyone else had to give these old brothers some face. It was like a big tree, and it was not easy for him to earn a drop of sunshine or water. If he didn't pay attention, he had already protected a forest under him.

Liu Xiaomei sent Gao Daquan away and returned to the stream to miss her brother, feeling a little depressed.

Xiuxiu secretly looked at Liu Xiaomei several times, but when she saw that she had ignored her, she finally couldn't help saying: "Sister, what did Brother Gao say unhappy you? Did you make you angry?"

"No, how could he make me angry?"

Liu Xiaomei said casually, but everyone could see the sorrow between her eyebrows.

Xiuxiu laughed: "Although Brother Gao is not very good at speaking, he is very good-hearted and does not make people unhappy. But sister, it is obvious that you are having trouble like this!"

Liu Xiaomei sighed: "It's not about Brother Gao's business, it's still my brother's trouble."

What Xiuxiu hates most is Liu Xiaomei's brother. Last time she caused Liu Xiaomei to be in danger, and she also did bad things because of her kind intentions. Xu Ping told her countless times, and she still cares about her very tightly.

Gripping his teeth, Xiuxiu said to Liu Xiaomei: "Sister, I tell you, your brother is really not a good person. As the saying goes, "Wolfs eat meat, dogs eat shit, that person will never change in his life. It's not that I'm talking too much, you stay away from that person in the future, otherwise you won't know what trouble you will cause!"

Liu Xiaomei knew Xiuxiu's emotions and smiled: "I know."

Xiuxiu rolled her eyes and asked Liu Xiaomei again: "Sister, when will you get married with Brother Gao? I'm still waiting for the wedding banquet! To be honest, Brother Gao is alone, and there are no one else at home, so officials can make decisions for him, and you don't have to wait until you return to the Central Plains!"

"What do you know, a child? Don't worry about adults!"

"I am fifteen years old, not a child anymore! Sister Su'er was accused of being a child when she was as old as me. She will get married in two months. Unfortunately, I can't drink her wedding wine when I go back!"

Seeing Xiuxiu's annoyed look, Liu Xiaomei pursed her lips and smiled: "Yes, Xiuxiu is not young anymore, it's time to find a family in the family! Which young man do you like, I'll help you with it."

Xiuxiu pursed her lips and said, "I am a person around the official, so where can I get married casually!"

When Liu Xiaomei heard this, she laughed loudly and laughed so hard that she leaned back and forth.

Since she was sold into the Xu family, Xiuxiu has been with Xu Ping for seven or eight years. She has long been used to this kind of life and thinks it is natural. I don’t know what Liu Xiaomei is smiling and ignores her in anger.

But I don’t know that in Lingnan, Fujian, people around me not only refer to Xiuxiu’s personal maids, but also have a special meaning. Xiuxiu is young and I don’t know that Liu Xiaomei has heard of it.

The sun rises higher and the sun becomes brighter, and the scenery in front of you becomes more and more dazzling.

Duan Yunjie looked at Liu Xiaomei and Xiuxiu who were making trouble and sighed: "Sometimes I really envy them. Life is free and you can laugh when you want to laugh, and cry when you want to cry. How comfortable!"

"There is nothing in the world, and the mediocre people disturb you. You are thinking too much."

Hearing Xu Ping's words, Duan Yunjie smiled and said, "So you laughed at me as a mediocre person."

"We are all mediocre people. In this world of world, what's the fun of not being mediocre people?"

"You don't hate those Taoist monks the most, and you didn't expect to understand this kind of Zen."

"Those who call this ordinary secular truth Zen are used as a deception. How can those Taoist monks who are ridiculous in the world do not make people feel bored? The vulgarity of the world is vulgar, but they don't know that this vulgarity is the greatest pleasure of being a human being. When you go to the mountains to pretend to be noble, how can you compare to a bamboo when pretending to be a bamboo? If you are reborn as a vegetarian, why waste this skin! If you are a human being, you have to enjoy the fun of human beings. But if you are a human being, you always say that human beings are vulgar. Isn't it pretentious?"

Duan Yunjie smiled and said, "But I didn't expect that you could still describe the vulgarity as being elegant. I just don't know if you can do things so freely and easily."

Xu Ping smiled and shook his head: "Since you have entered the world, why should you talk about elegance? Since you are a common man in the world, you will be surrounded by various bonds in the world, so how can you be free and easy?"

Duan Yunjie looked at Xu Ping with a smile on her face, but she felt a little melancholy in her heart. She liked the willfulness of the person in front of her in the world, but the bonds made her unable to see the road ahead.

The laughter of Xiuxiu and Liu Xiaomei came from there. Duan Yunjie rose up as soon as she entered and said to Xu Ping: "They were having such a happy time, so let's go and join in the fun."

Xu Ping shook his head and followed Duan Yunjie to walk towards the two of them.

When he arrived, Duan Yunjie asked Xiuxiu, who was silenced, “What are you two making trouble here?”

Xiuxiu spoke quickly and rushed to answer: "Brother Gao came here just now. I asked Liu Xiaomei if she was here to discuss the wedding date with her. When will Brother Gao marry her and enter the house, my sister kept laughing!"

Liu Xiaomei was stunned for a moment and grabbed Xiuxiu's arm: "When did you learn to make such lies, you little girl? You must learn it well if you are young!"

Xiuxiu raised her head and ignored Liu Xiaomei.

Duan Yunjie said: "Xiuxiu is right. My little sister, you are old and you should think about when to get married. It is not a solution to hold on like this."

Liu Xiaomei lowered her head and whispered: "Why do you say to me? I am younger than Miss Duan."

Hearing this, Duan Yunjie's smile froze on her face, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Xiuxiu was anxious and whispered to Liu Xiaomei: "Sister, how can you say that? Sister Duan is a fairy-like person, how can we compare to someone like us? It makes her unhappy for nothing!"

Liu Xiaomei apologized to Duan Yunjie with embarrassment: "I said the wrong thing, sister, don't take it to heart."

Duan Yunjie smiled and said, "It was the truth, but where did you get the mistake? But I am indeed different from you. There are more important things in my mind, so I am not qualified to talk about these things."

Xu Ping followed from behind and asked, "What are you talking about here? So happy!"

Duan Yunjie said: "Xiuxiu said that Gao Daquan came to talk to her younger sister about her wedding date just now, and she was so happy that she sang continuously. We are saying that we don't know which day is an auspicious day."

Xu Ping smiled and said, "This is a happy event. It is rare that this piece of wood is made of a good idea. As the saying goes, choosing a day is worse than a day, but they will decide on the matters of the two of them. Just do it in the past two months."

Liu Xiaomei said anxiously: "Where are we talking about this just now? Xiuxiu was so silly. She didn't know that she was still making up random things. Don't listen to her-"

Xu Ping waved his hand: "No need to explain, I understand, your girls are shy and embarrassed to say it out. Don't worry, tall and clear, I have to follow my character for many years, I know the best, and I will definitely not let you down! Just in these two months, you choose a day to do your wedding, don't worry about anything, I will have to do everything!"

Seeing Xu Ping speaking seriously, Liu Xiaomei knew that she was going to do a wedding for her, but she calmed down: "The girls in our barbarians are not as particular as you Han people. If you like it, I will not say those grievances that I can't understand. I said I would marry Brother Gao, and Brother Gao also said that I would marry me, and I would do the wedding! But I have to discuss it with Brother Gao first."

"Of course, of course you have the final say in your affairs."

Xu Ping spoke, and the matter was settled. Xu Ping and Gao Daquan have the title of master and servant, and can make the decision. Besides, Gao Daquan is now well-off and has the support of Xu Ping, a rich man, so it would be easier to hold a happy event in a grand manner.

Xiuxiu smiled and said to Liu Xiaomei: "Sister, I said you are getting happy, and you still said to me."

Liu Xiaomei gently pushed her: "You're just broken!"

Xiuxiu said, "Hmph, you thought so! By the way, I sing the songs you just sang to me again. It's actually quite nice to have love and love."

Green mountains are continuous in the distance, green water is entangled, bamboo forests are everywhere near, and banana trees are swaying. When he heard singing, Xu Ping suddenly remembered the movie he watched in his previous life. In this scene, a barbarian girl sang and danced.

On a whim, Xu Ping said to Liu Xiaomei: "Xiuxiu is right, it's better to sing a song and listen to it."

Liu Xiaomei lowered her head and said, "We are so rude, how can the officials understand?"

Xu Ping was excited and did not let it go. After thinking for a while, he said to Liu Xiaomei: "It's okay, I will use Chinese language as lyrics. How do you sing it?"

Duan Yunjie smiled and said, "It turns out that the poems of the Jinshi officers have risen."

Xu Ping felt a little embarrassed: "Speaking of this, I am a first-class Jinshi, but I don't have much talent in poetry. Fortunately, there are no outsiders today, so I'm not afraid of being ugly, so I practice it."

After thinking for a while, he said to Duan Yunjie: "She used the tone of "Baopaiman", and we each performed one song, how about letting Liu Xiaomei sing it? Speaking of Fu Theory, you are not as good as me, and your poetry seems to be more powerful."

Duan Yunjie smiled and said, "Shangguan has opened his mouth, but he dares not obey his orders."

"Baopaiman" is originally a folk song in Yueren, and Tangren uses the tunes to add lyrics, which is appropriate.

Xu Ping remembered the movie "Liu Sanjie" I watched in his previous life. He was so itchy that he thought about it, and then started with the first lyrics in the movie: "There is a fragrance in the top of the mountain at the bottom of the mountain, and the daughter washes the silk clothes by the river. She raised her head and shook her plain hands, and urgently summoned her lover to see the mandarin ducks."

Duan Yunjie smiled with a pursed lips and said, "The word Shangguan is shallow in meaning, and the second sentence has the wrong tone."

Xu Ping has been studying it for many years, and finally remembers the rhymes clearly and will not produce rhymes again. However, many characters still cannot be completely changed according to this era. It is very common to have a tone.

However, Xu Ping's original intention was to write a folk song. The simpler the semantics, the better, and the rhythm was not too contemplated, so he deliberately turned around and asked Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, do you think the official song is good?"

Xiuxiu nodded: "Okay! It's much better than those who sing music for a long time. I'm learning to make poetry with Sister Duan. She said that Bai Letian had to understand the old lady before she could count the lyrics of the official. I can understand the lyrics of the official, but I can't say that the meaning of the lyrics is shallow."

Duan Yunjie smiled and said, "You master and servant have a question and answer. It makes sense. I will follow the example. 'There is flowers on the top of the mountain and the fragrance at the bottom of the mountain. My daughter of Love looks at the mandarin ducks. In this life, we will work together by the river. Don't forget each other."

The two of them wrote lyrics in a couplet, and they were having a great time. Liu Xiaomei hummed softly over there, which was pleasant to hear.

Xu Ping also said: "There are flowers on the top of the mountain and the fragrance at the bottom of the mountain. There are lovers who hope to be together. They are not afraid of the wind and rain in this life, and will be with you for generations."

In Xu Ping's mind, now is the scene of the movie in his previous life. Although the movie is a happy ending, part of the prototype of the story is a tragedy, which unknowingly brings the taste of bitter love.

Duan Yunjie's face changed, and she said immediately: "There are flowers on the top of the mountain and the fragrance on the bottom of the mountain. If you have feelings, don't be confused. In this life, the fate is weak and it is difficult to join hands. Don't drink Mengpo soup in the underworld."

After saying that, he spat on the ground: "I lost, this is not auspicious!"

Xu Ping didn't have any careful thoughts on this kind of thing. He just thought that Duan Yunjie was wrong and was very excited. He said to her: "Then this song doesn't count, let's change it!"

Duan Yunjie smiled reluctantly: "If you want to change, you will change them all, and a new sentence is made. 'If you have a fate, love will last for a hundred years, and the world will be a god. The bright moon and the breeze will always accompany me, and the clear water will surround the green mountains."

Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, but his thoughts were a little unfollowed, and he said casually: "I have a fate to be in love for a hundred years, and I know each other and think about each other blood. Who died at the age of 97? Wait for three years for Naiheqiao."

As soon as he finished his thoughts, Xu Ping sighed secretly. He really couldn't do these tricks of a romantic talent. He wrote three new sentences, one copy of Duan Yunjie's previous one, and two copy of the movies in his previous life. It's still not in line with the tone. This time it's not a matter of pronunciation.

Thinking of this, Xu Ping couldn't help but feel restless and could no longer be excited.

On the other side, Duan Yunjie remained silent. Unexpectedly, Xu Ping would read more unlucky sentences than her before. Waiting for three years on Naiheqiao, someone was waiting for me, or did I still want me to wait for someone?
