Trivia at the end of the Jin Dynasty

There will be reunion every three or five days, full of sunshine to protect the jade fence.It was only held in the sky one round, and all the surnames in the world looked up.The full moon that Feng Shang was looking forward to finally arrived, and the new clothes he bought for this day had already been ironed, scented and scented, and then he asked the waiter to help him put them on, and looked at the bronze mirror again and again. When he came to Huanxuan's gate, he knocked on the door lightly. After a short while, the messenger opened the door. He stepped in quickly, but saw Huanxuan in normal attire reading a book in front of the desk, and Feng Gongzi Yiyi yelled anxiously.

"Clean up quickly, don't miss the hour." Second Young Master Feng stamped his feet anxiously in the middle of the hall.

"What's the hurry? When did you see the main event being thrown out at the beginning, it must be the last one." Huan Xuan closed the book unhurriedly, picked up the cup, and took a sip of tea.

"If it's too late, there will be no private room for us. The 4 Pavilion has never been reserved for anyone. When the time comes, other people will be invited in." Second Young Master Feng began to pace back and forth on the ground.

"In that case, let's get on the road." Huan Xuan got up.

"Jingdao won't go like this?" Mr. Feng was about to suffocate.

"Is it wrong?" Huan Xuan looked at himself and felt that it was the same as usual, and he didn't think there was anything wrong.

"It's too simple and elegant. It's not a book club, so it's a bit shabby." Mr. Feng showed a disgusted expression.

"It's so good." Without waiting for Second Young Master Feng to say anything else, Huan Xuan walked straight to the door.

The Sixth Pavilion faces south and is located on a hill to the north of the Qingxi Bridge. The pavilion is four stories high and the rooms are arranged in a tower shape. The center is the boundary, the west side is all white, there is a black window in the middle of the third floor to the west, the east side is all black, and the middle of the second floor to the east is a white window.The name of the pavilion is Liu 4, which probably fits the 4 hexagrams of the Book of Changes. The color distribution of the building also has the meaning that Tai Chi produces Liangyi, and Liangyi produces four images.Huan Xuan looked a little bit arty, although not pretending to be a ghost, and it was even more unconvincing, so he laughed it off.

There was still a street for the two of them to reach Pavilion Liusi, so they couldn't move forward. Seeing that the carriages in front of them were full of noble families, if they didn't come on horseback, they would definitely be impassable, so the two had no choice but to Get out of the car and walk to the door.The Liu 4 Pavilion is not accessible by walking downstairs. There are some strong men guarding the outer and inner third floors of the pavilion. To enter the pavilion from the main entrance, you need to pass through two checkpoints. , those who are disheveled are not allowed to enter, Erdao is a handsome Qingguan, who collects name cards and distributes guest seats to visitors.Only after passing through these two barriers can we know whether the visitor is going through the Yin Gate or the Yang Gate when we come here today.

After Huan Xuan and Feng Shang handed over the name cards, the Qing Guan opened his eyes obviously, and seemed a little surprised, but this person seemed very shrewd, and immediately restrained his surprise, and only shouted loudly to the back, "Dear guest, Yangsan Taikang~" Then a servant led the two of them out of Yangmen and went upstairs.

Feng Shang went upstairs and lowered his voice: "Yangsan Taikang, what do you mean?"

Huan Xuan thought for a while and said: "Yang refers to the Yang Gate we came in, and the third should mean the third floor. As for Taikang, it seems a bit familiar."

"Tai Kang, of course it sounds familiar." Feng Shang rolled his eyes, lowered his voice and said: "It seems to be Shizu's year name!"

Huan Xuan was startled, it was indeed the case, the sixty-four pavilions did not even shy away from the reign title of the ancestors, it was really bold and reckless, it is really surprising that there is such a place in Jiankang City.During the conversation, the two climbed to the third floor of the pavilion. When they first boarded this floor, they were suddenly cheerful. The view was much better than that of the second floor. The decoration of the private room was also somewhat elegant. Seeing the whole picture of the sixty-four pavilions, the only thing you can't see is the appearance of the fourth floor. Those who don't know it think that the third floor is the roof of the pavilion. Huan Xuan carefully calculated the exquisite design of this pavilion.

It turns out that the main entrance of the Liusi Pavilion is separated from the center, and also divided into yin and yang. The west side is the yang gate. There are several servants guarding the two floors of the building. When guests come, someone is responsible for welcoming them in. The rest of the guests are still standing alone. It is not suitable for visitors to walk back and forth after they are seated. Customers on the first floor cannot enter the third floor. It seems that the third floor is the symbol of the status of the pavilion. However, opening the door to do business also restricts the freedom of customers. It is really a shop bully.

The two of Huan Xuan were arranged in the third private room after the entrance on the third floor. There was a sign of Taikang on the door, which was clear at a glance. The hall was small, but very elegant, and the tables and seats were very comfortable. Beside the tea beach, it seems that it is full-time serving tea for guests.Feng Shang greeted him, asked him to retreat, and joked with Huan Xuan with a smile, it would be good if he could serve him tonight, Huan Xuan smiled and didn't take it seriously, just walked towards the bay window to see what's going on downstairs.

The internal structure of the Sixth Pavilion is indeed like a pagoda, which is hollow. In addition to the Yin and Yang gates on the first floor to guide the stairs on both sides, there is even a gate on the north side, which can be used by guests who do not go up the stairs to sit and watch in the main hall.There are not many private rooms on the second and third floors, and each compartment is very close. Standing at the window, you can look at the guests not far away, but the private rooms are only set up on the west, south, and east sides. There is no viewing room on the north side of the building, but the stage is actually set in this direction. The base of the platform shrinks toward the north gate in a tapered shape, as if the north gate is the entrance to the stage. In fact, it is not the case. The stage is set between the second and third floors. There is a protrusion, and the performers enter the stage from the third floor.The stage is not too big, but it is enough for a drum team and several dancers to perform at the same time.

At this time, there is a dance music below, the music is melodious, and the dancers are all beautiful and clear, with superb dancing postures, not as enchanting and graceful as dancers, but they have a special charm.This kind of program is interspersed with Qing songs assisted by a single person on the pipa and guzheng. The singers will also randomly select from the poems provided in the private room, play the music and add the words on the spot, and even elegantly.

The whole building is served by some young men, all of them have a handsome face, and they are all dressed in simple and generous clothes. It is the behavior that does not have the slightest flattery, just like looking at the lotus from across the pond, you can only watch it from a distance but not play with it, and you can't even see a disrespectful guest when the house is full of guests.

After looking at the exquisite design of this building, Huan Xuan was a little puzzled: "I heard that General Wang Gong is a poor and simple man, how could his subordinates dare to build such a magnificent building?"

Feng Shang had no intention of doing this, so he did it himself, brewed a pot of Junshan silver needles, and poured himself a drink. Seeing that the question was so funny, he said, "How can there be a shabby gift? The more extravagant and gorgeous, the more people will come. Spending a lot of money! I don’t understand this.”

Huan Xuan still disagreed: "Wang Gong used to sit on a six-foot mat at home. When guests came to the house, they thought that his hometown produced a lot of this mat, so they asked for it. Wang Gong gave the bamboo mat to the guest and sat on it. When the guest knew about this, he asked about it, and replied, "There is nothing good for a respected man." I think that there were not even bamboo mats left over at the beginning, but today the people under the door are building such a luxurious place, hoping not to hurt his reputation. "

When Feng Shang saw him like this, he replied seriously: "I don't know about respect, although the owner of this pavilion is under Wang Gong's family, it was not Wang's capital to build this pavilion, and all the money collected by the pavilion owner over the years also supplemented the military expenses of the Beifu army. And you also said that leaking the heavenly secrets and harming yourself, I am afraid that this pavilion master is exchanging his own fate for the safety of one party."

Seeing Huan Xuan thoughtfully, bowing his head and saying nothing, Feng Shang continued: "Besides, the owner of this pavilion is famous for his elegance, and the servants he serves are all elegant, so the guests who come are naturally arty. It's because he is afraid of the power of the pavilion master and dare not be presumptuous. He is called Gelou, but he is actually a serious businessman. This person sells songs for a living in public. I'm afraid it's just to repay Wang Gong's kindness of nurturing and teaching. He can't repay him. All I can do is use what I have earned to support General Wang to protect the people and kill the enemy on the battlefield."

After hearing this, Huan Xuan was very surprised. It is really unheard of that there are such people in the world.If there really is such a person in the world who values ​​integrity and righteousness, this person is indeed respectable, and it would be good if we can meet each other today.But if it is really like what Feng Shang said, if this person is not good at speaking, will it be what his mother said, that he is the person who is his nemesis?Can I be selected by this legendary Mr. Sui, and be fortunate enough to have a divination?

After the sound of drums and music, some spectators would throw gold and jewels on the stage, and some private rooms would reward thousands of coins. The amount of money, and there will be fine wine and tea in the pavilion as a gift.

After a few rounds of noisy drumming, it entered a slightly longer break time than usual. Just when the guests on the guest seats had begun to speak a little bit, and when the crowd was full of doubts, the drummer beat his drum three times, and sometimes he beat his drum three times. It seems to be used for some kind of quiet scene at a critical moment.The audience was silent, and while holding their breath, two skylights were suddenly opened on the north side of the fourth floor, which had no idea what it looked like, and all the guests shouted. To show up, the atmosphere was pushed to the highest level for a while.

At this time, the music started again, and there was a thin figure in a white gown, stepping on a swing tied with white silk, and was slowly lowered down.The man first stepped on the thousand boards with one foot, and swung the other back and forth. After a while, he swung the swing and sat down. At this time, the drum beat stopped, leaving only the melodious music, and the snow-white streamers hanging down. Beside him, floating with the swing, his black hair, which was not fully tied up, also fluctuated with the swing of the swing, sometimes covering his cheeks, sometimes revealing his whole face.I don't know how he spoke, but when he spoke, the humming moved with the rhythm of the piano sound, high and low, just like the sound of heaven.

The restless crowd was moved by the singing, and they all calmed down to listen. Without control, no one made a sound, as if they were caught by the gurgling stream in the forest, the chirping of lilies in the morning, and the whistling of the distant mountain breeze. Attracted by the long, clear and melodious singing, I forget where I am, return to the basics, put myself in the sky, and listen to the most beautiful and natural voice in the world.
