Everyone didn't know that this time even Li Longji in the palace was alarmed. Even if they knew, no one would be surprised. Li Sanlang in the palace was famous for his love of romance and liveliness. In recent years, the imperial court's finances had become increasingly tight. In addition to the constant wars at the border, a very important reason was the extravagant style brought about by Emperor Sanlang's love of liveliness. As the stage in the East Market was set up, everyone discovered that there was no stage in the West Market. Could it be that the stage in the West Market could also be moved? Wang Yuanbao doesn¡¯t care about the West Market. The most important thing now is to show off the best things on his side and win back the victory. Dongshi first heard the sound of gongs, and then groups of musicians filed in. I don¡¯t know when they arrived. Seeing various actors and actresses appearing on stage, the tourists who originally gathered at the West Market turned around and flocked to the East Market. But although the side street was fifty meters wide, there was a large stage in the middle, and thousands of spectators crowded around it, and it was immediately packed to the rafters. Chong Niang took Ye Chang and squeezed in. Although she didn't bring many followers, with Shan Zhi, the evil monk, they still squeezed into a good position. The sound of silk and bamboo gradually began to play, and the surrounding area became quiet. A group of singers came up, singing and dancing. Because they were a little far away, Ye Chang could not hear clearly what they were singing. He only felt that the voice was soft and melodious, and it was really nice to hear. After one group of singers finished singing, they bowed and came down, followed immediately by another group of singers, rotating around like a revolving lantern. Before you knew it, there were already five or six groups of singers singing. Ye Chang couldn¡¯t really appreciate the music and dance of the Tang Dynasty, so he just watched the fun. Chong Niang, on the other hand, watched with gusto, but her mouth was still stiff: "That's it, in the palace and the troupe, not to mention Aman, even Xiao Huo and Xichai are better than them." "What you said touched my heart. I'm a little worried. It will take the Liyuan disciples in the palace to defeat them." "Eleventh Lang, you also have an idea here in Xishi, right?" "Hey" Ye Chang was about to say something. , then I saw a sudden silence in the East Market, and a graceful girl came up. This girl was very beautiful. She was the girl who broke the glass plate in the glass shop in the West Market that day. "Do you recognize her?" The Chongniang over there had such a keen temper. She immediately realized something was wrong and asked with a pout. "I met her once in the West Market, but I never thought she was also a singer." Ye Chang replied. "I remember it clearly." Ye Chang didn't take it seriously at the little girl's sour words. Originally, this little girl was just like his little sister. Ye Chang just felt pity for her growing up in the palace but having no one to care about her. What's more, she was still so young. She was only ten years old after the last New Year, and Ye Chang didn't think about it in detail. ¡°I don¡¯t remember it clearly, but there was a bump that day, causing her to drop a glass plate worth dozens of coins.¡± Ye Chang explained casually. "You must show mercy and pay the money for her, right?" Chong Niang is smarter than Xiang'er in this regard. Xiang'er blindly believed in Ye Chang, but Chong Niang guessed what happened next. : "Ha, ha, you are really kind-hearted." Then Ye Chang felt a pain on his toes, but it was Lady Chong who stepped on his feet hard, with an angry look on his face. Only then did Ye Chang feel that something was wrong: "You should stop making trouble, stop making trouble" "Huh, what is her name, have you asked?" "How can I care so much? It's just an idle person I met by chance, let alone" Ye Chang was about to explain when he suddenly noticed that the noise around him suddenly dropped. Then, in the blazing wind of Chang'an City, the voice of the woman walking onto the stage came. "My surname is Li, my nickname is Yaxian, and I have lived in Pingkangli for a long time. Today I have received three new poems from Wang Xueshi, and I would like to perform them in front of you." Her voice is clear and sweet, and there is a heroic spirit that makes people unconscious. A jolt, as if there was a coolness coming from such a scorching heat. "Okay, now you know her name." Chong Niang said angrily when she saw Ye Chang was stunned. "I just think the name seems familiar." Ye Chang thought about it for a few times, and he seemed to have heard the name "Li Yaxian" before, but for a while, he couldn't remember it. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there were many strange women who left their names in later generations, and this one was probably one of them. Li Yaxian sang Wang Wei's new songs, which no one had ever heard before. After singing three songs, there were cheers all around. Among the cheers, a clapping voice took the lead, and then more and more people applauded. Palm comes to show appreciation for this Li Yaxian. "Oh, why did you step on me again?" Ye Chang, who was applauding, cried out in pain again and glared at Chongniang. "You are the first to applaud her. If it weren't for you, no one else would applaud." Chong Niang rolled her eyes at him: "Whose side are you helping? Ye Chang also takes thisThe little girl with an eccentric personality was a little helpless: "I am helping the West City side, but Li Yaxian in the East City sings the song really well, so I applaud." ." Chong Niang snorted: "You don't want to have two boats." There seems to be something interesting in this sentence, right? Ye Chang didn't react, so Chong Niang pulled him away: "I'm tired of looking at it. The stage in the West City should be set up by now, right?" The stage in the West City was still empty, but there was another sound coming from the distance. Here comes the sound of the wheel. The carriages rattled and the horses rustled. Wang Yuanbao had been paying attention to Xishi, and when he saw the same trick again, he sneered. Last time I went back to the Cailou, the moving Cailou did indeed play an eye-catching role, but I used the same trick twice, do you think it can still be useful? Sure enough, although many people here were distracted to see the Western Market, most people still gathered around the stage to see who would come on stage after Li Yaxian. "Not many people are following?" Chong Niang walked back through Chaotian Street. When she arrived at the West Market, she looked behind her and found that most of the people were still staying at the East Market. She blinked and said with some confusion: "Eleventh Lang, why is this?" "It's early over there in the East Market. They spread the word that all the famous actors in Pingkangfang are on their side. Under such circumstances, there are no decent actors in the West Market. "Ye Chang said: "The one who just came on stage in the East Market. They are just some unknown people, but they have already won a lot of praise. Everyone is here to see the excitement and want to see what Dongshi will do next. " "It seems that West City is really going to lose this game." "But. Not necessarily." Ye Chang denied again. The monk next to him felt dizzy and felt that Ye Chang was speaking in a secretive manner, which was really unpleasant. But just when he was about to interrupt, he opened his mouth wide and was stunned when he looked at the float coming over. This float is naturally not as big as the stage, but it is not small either, enough for actors to perform on it. There is a curtain on the float, and above the curtain, there are floating Kongming lanterns made of colorful silk. These Kongming lanterns are tied to the float with silk threads, and they swing in the air as the float moves. Attracted enough eyeballs. The crowd that was originally staying in front of the Dongshi stage suddenly dispersed with a roar. Wang Jin frowned, and Wang Yuanbao also frowned, but they both remained calm. "My lord, if some people disperse, what should we do?" They were able to keep their composure, but some people couldn't, and came up to ask Wang Yuanbao for instructions. Wang Yuanbao waved his hand: "It doesn't matter. This second competition is about talent. After all, actors and singers have to play the leading role. Other tricks can be successful for a while, but they cannot last long." Wang Jin also nodded. His brother's Three new songs. If Xishi wants to win, he must win over Li Taibai. It's just that Li Taibai has been dragged by the emperor recently, and he may not be able to get away to participate in such fun. He also looked towards the Xishi float that served as a stage. It was a little far away, so he couldn't see it very clearly, but he could vaguely see that the person standing on the float seemed to be an Orchid. "Hu Ji?" Wang Jin's heart moved, and a question suddenly occurred to him. Although the singers and singers in Pingkangfang were persuaded by Wang Yuanbao, the Hu people scattered in Xishi and other cities did not receive the attention they deserved. However, in the city of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty, there were no less than a hundred thousand Hu people of all kinds, and most of them were good at music and dancing. Especially the naturalized Hu people who came from the Western Regions, they have been singing and dancing as a profession for many generations. It would be an idea to select the lucky ones among these Hu Ji and Hu people. Even if it can't compare with other techniques in Hepingkangfang, it can still be unique. This must be Ye Chang's trick again, using strengths and avoiding weaknesses to avoid reality. Wang Jin's first thought was this. He was a little angry in his heart. This Ye Shiyi is really haunted. But it's useless to be good at dancing. Chang'an The city is a city of poetry and music. It has no outstanding poems and music, and only relies on a few Hu Er and Hu Ji to dance. After all, it will lose. Thinking of this, Wang Jin felt a little happy in his heart. He glanced at Wang Yuanbao and said, Wang Yuanbao had the same thoughts as him, and the two of them nodded. "Go and take a look and see if Xishi has any tricks to turn the tide." Wang Jin said. It would be better if he could see Ye Chang in the West Market and say a few sarcastic words to him. But Wang Jin knew that even if he saw Ye Chang, he would not dare to sarcasticly say something. When you come to the West Market, you will see not just one float, but one after another, a total of six floats. Each float is not too big, and even a person dancing on it seems a bit crowded. Compared with the large stage set up by Dongshifang, it is far behind. The floats are decorated with various flowers and colorful satin. decorations, and huge Kongming lanterns are hung on the tops of the floats.These sky lanterns were originally made by Ye Chang to imitate the balloons in another life, but now they are lit with candles. After the candle is extinguished, it will slowly fall down, and then a new candle will be lit, waiting for it to rise again. The only thing you need to pay attention to is fire prevention. In addition to these decorations, the most eye-catching thing is that on top of each car is an orchid girl who is about 28 years old. These orchid girls are either shy or generous, lively or reserved, charming or friendly, with different temperaments. But all of them have bright eyes like pearls, skin as good as snow, and exotic charms. They are all rare beauties. Their clothes are not the usual Tang Dynasty style, but are mixed with the style of the Western Regions. They are gorgeous and gorgeous, and make people look more elegant. Six floats lined up in two rows and stopped under the colorful building of Xishi City. At this time, attracted by the Kongming Lantern, many tourists have come to the West Market. Seeing these beautiful orchids, even more people came. "After all, although there are many Orchids in Chang'an City, there are only a few who are as good as these six. ¡°Then you have to listen to a sound of music, and then the sound of strings and bamboos, and on one of the six-colored cars, the seemingly sentimental orchids girl sings, but what she sings is an old song. "If you have money, you must learn how to drink. If you don't have money, don't sell it. I always say bad things when I come here. I am ashamed of being a restaurant owner" Wang Jin, who was just rushing over, heard this song and stopped immediately and said with a smile: "That's all." Wang Yuanbao followed him. He was from a humble background and didn't know much about poetry, so he was surprised and said, "Is this poem good?" Said four words. This poem was composed by Wang Ji in the early Tang Dynasty, a hundred years ago. Wang Jin used old tunes to comment on it, which not only pointed out the origin of this poem, but also showed his disdain. The first Orchid saluted after singing, but the music did not end, but suddenly changed. Then on the second float, the Orchid was so heroic that she even drew her sword and danced while singing: "Five To the east of Shaojin City in the year of the mausoleum, a white horse with a silver saddle rides in the spring breeze. Wherever the fallen flowers trample, I laugh into the Orchid Wine Shop." As soon as this song was sung, Wang Yuanbao over there said with a sigh: "Someone has heard of it, so and so. "I've heard of Li Taibai's poem "" This is Li Taibai's "Youth Journey", Wang Jin snorted. Although Li Bai's poem is good, his brother Wang Wei also has a song "Youth Journey", which is unrestrained or a bit unrestrained. Hateful, but impassioned and superior. The two songs in a row are sung by Orchid Orchid, and Orchid Orchid sings Orchid Orchid, which has an exotic flavor. At this time, Wang Jin vaguely guessed the preparations on the West Market side. He thought in his mind that although there were many poems about singing Hu Ji, there might not be many that could be sung today. After the second Orchid sang, she still saluted, and then sat on the car among the flowers. The music still did not stop, but changed. Then, the Orchid on the third car started singing again. "The beautiful beauty shines on the river head, and the spring breeze is hospitable to stay. When I know my concubine's habit, I give him wine to shame him. The fragrance spreads to the banana fan, and the makeup is made into a bamboo tower. I count money to pity my bright wrist, but I can't worry about anything" That Hu Ji Her embroidered eyebrows are slightly furrowed, her eyes are full of waves, and she looks like she is ready to cry. She really writes the love between her eyebrows and sings it in her singing voice. If the first two songs are not as good as Dongshi's, when it comes to this song, they are already on par with the singers and singers in Dongshi. The music still continued to change, and the fourth orchid sang again: "For the sake of orchid wine, I will grow a white nose. Pick lotus and throw it on the water, the man's intention is in the floating flower." This song is sweet and moving again, and its meaning is In this situation, people can't help but sigh. The Hu Ji is affectionate and thoughtful. Wherever the eyes turn, the scoundrel can't help shouting: "Hu Ji is the one who has the man's intention. The man's intention is the Hu Ji." This voice In the middle, the Orchid saluted generously, and then retreated into the flowers on the float. Then, the fifth Orchid sang again: "Where can I say goodbye, Chang'an Qingqimen. Hu Ji beckons her bare hands and invites guests to drink their golden cups. When I was about to mount my horse, I spoke to you alone. The wind blows and the orchids fold, and the sun goes down and the birds noisy. Raising your finger to fly like a giant is difficult to describe. There is no sooner or later when we return together, and there is a clear source of Yingshui. " Another wonderful song, another Hu Ji. Wang Jin's eyebrows jumped when he heard it. Wang Yuanbao coughed over there. Although he didn't understand poetry and music, he also knew a little about the good and bad. At least these three songs he sang in succession, It¡¯s no worse than the song by Wang Wei of Dongshi just now. ¡°Thisare these three songs also a reprise of old tunes, or are they composed by Li Taibai? " He asked in a trembling voice. Wang Jin could not answer, so he could only say coldly: "Listen to the sixth song I don't believe it, there is a sixth song."
