    Just when Liu Wenyang wanted to lose his scalp but couldn't figure out why his fame spread throughout Poyang City.  .  .  At this moment, a slovenly old beggar came to a restaurant with a guard board. When he entered the room, he started singing: "If you say get rich, you will get rich. The shopkeeper's business will make a fortune. If you make a fortune, I will take advantage of it. In one year  Come visit me in all seasons. " At this time, the restaurant owner was worrying about the food for the guests. He was very angry when he saw Hanako playing the game. He was about to get angry. At this time, the old beggar sang again.  He went on for a while: "Shopkeeper, don't get angry. The world is now in the Ming Dynasty. I used to beg for food, but now it's me who begs for food." When the hotel owner heard this, he burst out laughing, and the anger subsided, and he immediately shouted to the waiters, "Begging for food."  Reward." The waiter did not dare to neglect, took out two pennies from the counter, wrapped it in red paper and handed it to Hanako.  The old beggar did not pick up the red envelope with his hands, but with the flat side of the guard board in his right hand facing up.  These are the rules of the Beggar Clan, and everyone must abide by them.  Then, the old beggar happily walked to the next shop.  But this one is a grocery store. He sang: "I was walking, looked up, and there was a grocery store in front of me. The door of the grocery store was open, and there were so many varieties that I couldn't count. Just look at the day lilies that come out of Chenzhou. You don't need a knife for day lilies.  It is indispensable to make it without Sichuan peppercorns. Sichuan peppercorns are round and small, and they add flavor when put into a bowl The sister-in-law on Dongjie came to buy our Jiangda. The business is good, and the business is booming. We only sell cash and do not take credit.  Everything is in order. The shopkeeper doesn¡¯t care about the money. I thanked him and went down to borrow the money.¡± The old beggar sang so happily that he thought he had just received two cents as a reward for just a few words in the restaurant.  Singing for such a long time.  You can get as much as three pennies.  Never thought about it.  The grocery store owner pinched his whiskers and sneered: "Have you finished singing?" The old beggar nodded and bowed: "It's finished." "Get out of here after singing! Don't delay my business!" The beggar looked around, and there was only one pretty girl in the store.  The beautiful little maid is buying rouge and gouache, but no one else is doing the business.  "Haha, boss, I have sung so much, you can at least reward me with two hard-earned coins!" the old beggar said pitifully.  "Reward you? Haha. What the hell are you singing? It's nothing new. I have to listen to it more than ten times a day, and my ears are numb. You have the nerve to ask for money!" "Then boss, what do you want to listen to?"  "Bring me a fresh one, something I've never heard of! If you sing well, maybe I'll give you two some money!" The shop owner sat on a chair, crossed his legs, picked up the teapot and pointed it at the spout.  Take a bite.  "Okay, then I will come up with a new one. The name is 'Xiaoliu Shenxiang descends on the dragon, and the old man is killed with one hexagram'!" "Ha. This name sounds fresh, come and sing it quickly!" The shop owner is here.  interest.  When the pretty maid nearby who was buying rouge and gouache heard this, she couldn't help but pricked up her ears and listened to how the old beggar was singing.  Seeing that there was something going on, the old beggar played the board and sang at the same time: "Guadabanhelihe, let me tell you about it. I just said that there is a Peach Blossom Town nearby. Peach Blossom Town is really good. You can't escape from the Feng Shui treasure land. There is something out there.  Liu Shenxiang, whose real name is Liu, was born with the destiny of being a scholar, but he committed suicide by jumping into a river before he died. He was taught the fortune-telling and gossip, and the yin and yang of Feng Shui is very spiritual spiritual.  , is the spirit, the locust tree is burned to subdue the divine dragon, and the reputation spreads in Taohua Town. Now that he has come to Poyang County, he is even more determined to die. If you ask him what his name is, give him a reward and explain"  After the old beggar finished singing, he lifted up the guard board with a smile and asked for a reward.  But the shop owner said: "Go, go! What are you singing in random order? I want to listen to "Dragon Conquering the Dragon", but you are rambling on and on!" "Hehe, I just sang the first half, and I haven't sung the second half yet! As long as the boss  If you give me a reward, I'll finish the second half. "I'm in business, so I don't have time to listen to your nonsense!" Although the shop owner was curious about what the second half was about, he just felt sorry for the money in his bag.  Bang the old beggar and go out.  The old beggar spent a long time spitting, but couldn't catch the fart. He couldn't help standing at the door of the grocery store and chanting and cursing: "The shopkeeper's prosperous name is 'White Potato', and the brothers are ranked third and fifth. Turtles are born with a good life and a hard life, and they always carry a drum on their backs."  , The bastard was born cheap enough to give birth to a son, bastard" The shop owner saw the beggar scolding him, but he was so shameless that he didn't hear it at all.  The old beggar cursed a lot, but when he saw that the other party didn't even show his head, he thought to himself that it was more practical to just leave his saliva to ask for money. There was no need to be in trouble with such a bastard.  So Lao Jinghua spat, cursed "What the hell", turned around and was about to leave. Suddenly, someone behind him shouted: "That old gentleman, please stay!" Lao Jinghua was stunned for a moment, turned around and looked, but  ??The pretty maid who was shopping in the grocery store just now couldn't help but wonder: "Is it me you called me?" The pretty maid said: "It's you, there is no one else except you."  I made a mistake. There are no old gentlemen or young gentlemen here, only me, an old beggar who is half dead and about to die!" The pretty maid said, "I don't care if you are a beggar or a gentleman, I just want to negotiate a business with you."  The old beggar said: "Young lady is wrong again. I am neither a businessman nor a merchant. I am just a beggar and a singer along the street. I have no goods and no money. What kind of business do you want to do with me?"  What's the deal?" The pretty maid smiled and said, "I just want you to sing "Lotus Fall" just now. If you sing well, I'll give you ten cents. What do you think?  Wiping the old snot from the cold on his sleeve, he said: "Girl, are you kidding me? I'm an old beggar who wants to walk a few more streets and ask for more money I don't have time to joke with you!" Pretty maid too  Without answering, he directly took out five cents, handed it over and said: "Here, here are five cents. If you do well, I will reward you with another five cents!" The old beggar was dumbfounded. Weird things happen every year. Today  Very many.  I just met a tortoise who scolded me, but now I met a Guanyin Bodhisattva who gave generously. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The old beggar, with a smile on his face, and tightening the belt of his trousers slovenly.  She raised her spirits and said, "Girl, just say whatever you want me to sing. I'm sure to sing loud and resonant!" The pretty maid shook her head and said, "I don't want you to sing loudly or brightly, as long as you follow along.  Let me go and sing to someone!" "Ah, this is strange!" said the old beggar, confused, "could it be said that some people are used to listening to music and are tired of the opera, and like to listen to us beggars singing Lotus Falls?  ?¡± The pretty maid couldn¡¯t help but smile: ¡°You¡¯ll know when you go there!¡± ¡­ The old beggar followed the pretty maid and arrived at a mansion after a while.  But I saw that the mansion was spacious and beautiful.  After walking for a long time, we came to a back garden.  There are many flowers and plants planted in the garden. Although it is only spring, there are many flowers and plants in bloom. From a distance, you can see the red and green colors, and you can smell the fragrance in your nose.  Although the old beggar was well-informed, he had to secretly talk about it and thought to himself, what kind of big family is this, but it is so rich and luxurious.  This garden alone is almost as good as the famous family in the play.  After walking, I came to a pavilion.  But I saw a woman with clothes like snow playing the piano in the pavilion. The sound of the piano was so long and refreshing that it made people feel relaxed and happy.  Next to the woman in white clothes, there was another person standing, a young gentleman, also dressed in white clothes. He and the woman complemented each other like two gods.  Five or six meters away from the pavilion, the pretty maid turned around and said to the surprised old beggar: "Just wait here and don't wander around. I'll go in and let you know. You can go in later."  The old beggar said, "Oh, I know. I will stay here honestly. If the girl doesn't let you move, I won't even fart." Seeing the vulgar words spoken by the old beggar, the pretty maid frowned, and then raised her hand  He took off his clothes and walked up the steps to the pavilion.  The old beggar stood there and looked hard into the pavilion, but the distance was too far and his eyes were dim. He couldn't see clearly what the man and woman in front of him looked like. He could only hear the sound of the woman playing the piano in his ears.  The sound is melodious, like the tinkling of flowing water, extremely clear, and also like the cry of mountain birds, extremely pleasant to the ear.  Although Lao Jinghua doesn't know the music, he also knows that the piano plays very well. He expected that if the piano is so good, the person playing the piano must be even better, and maybe she is a fairy-like beauty.  Besides, in the pavilion, the woman in white finished playing the piano, and then gently asked the man beside her in a delicate and clear voice: "Master Ma, what do you think of my song "Three Plum Blossoms"?" The man in white clapped his hands.  He sighed: "It's like the sound of nature, evocative. Since this song was written by a girl, the artistic conception and atmosphere are even more hazy and elegant, just like plum blossoms blooming in winter snow, which makes people endlessly daydreaming" Finally, the man looked deeply.  He glanced at the woman in white and said, "The song is beautiful, but the person is even more beautiful!" As if he was afraid that the woman in white would be unhappy, the man hurriedly said: "Mou Ma couldn't help but blurt out his heartfelt words. If I offended the girl, please forgive me, Miss Su."  !" He cupped his fists and bowed, like a magnanimous gentleman.  The woman in white smiled softly, her beautiful eyes glanced over the man's handsome face, and said: "You have already said what Mr. Ma is guilty of. He just blurted out his heart, but the little girl's thin willow posture cannot be taken for granted.  "I deserve your praise." "How can I not deserve it?" The man said, "I wonder if there is any girl in Poyang County who is like Su X."My mother is so good at music, chess, calligraphy and painting, who else is as beautiful as you?  To be honest, Miss Su, I was attracted by your beauty when I first saw you. In my opinion, your beauty is flawless and is a great and sacred work of art!  There is an old saying, Guan Guan Jujiu, in the River Continent, a graceful lady, a gentleman is very good In the eyes of Mr. Ma, you are the lady in the River Continent, the beauty of the autumn water with white dew turning into frost.  I think about it day and night" The man in white in the pavilion kept flattering the woman in white. The old beggar outside the pavilion felt his balls hurt when he heard that. He thought to himself that he didn't know which young master he was, but he was also very good at pleasing women.  You see, this mouth piece is like honey, and you can say such disgusting words. It is simply three points more exquisite than the shameless skill of the old beggar. I admire it, I really admire it! In the pavilion, the woman in white seemed to feel the same way!  The man's praise for himself seemed a bit excessive, but what woman wouldn't like to hear these compliments? They thought they were disgusting, but they were very pleasing to the ear, and they thought they were excessive, but they were very satisfying. So she smiled and said: "Okay, Ma  Young Master, now that you have finished listening to the song, is there anything else you want to explain?  "But an eviction order was issued. The man in white hurriedly said: "Oh, by the way, in fact, my coming to listen to the girl playing music today is only secondary. The most important thing is to invite Miss Su to participate in the poetry competition in our Poyang City during the Lantern Festival!  "After that, the man in white took out a beautifully made invitation from his sleeve and presented it to him. He said, "The girl has just arrived in Poyang City not long ago.  Maybe you don¡¯t know, but every year we hold a unique poetry competition here, so that through poetry, lyrics and music, we can recall the ancients talking about the past and the present" This sentence was heard by the old beggar outside again, and he sneered and said to himself, what?  Reminiscing about the past and discussing the present, isn¡¯t it just to show off your literary talent and seduce girls? ¡°So, Miss Su, I would like to invite you to participate in tonight¡¯s poetry competition, so that everyone can see the beauty of the girl.  Fang Rong; I believe that as long as you join us, the poetry competition will be a lot more colorful. The gathering of talents and beauties will be a great story for this Lantern Festival!  " Faced with the warm invitation of the man in white, the woman was reserved for a moment and replied: "Allow me to think about it, okay?  " "Of course, of course!  hehe!  If the girl participates.  When the time comes, Ma will definitely welcome you!  "The man seemed very happy and exchanged a few casual greetings. Afraid of the woman's disgust, he bowed and said goodbye in a gentlemanly manner. After leaving the pavilion, he saw the old beggar standing beside him. The man in white frowned with disgust.  Then he covered his nose with his sleeve, as if he didn't like the stench on the other person's body The old beggar was used to being insulted by others, and he had long regarded himself as that rotten mud and despicable fart, so he didn't care.  , wiped the cold snot from the old man's nose with his sleeve, and waited for the pretty maid to reply. For a moment, just as the old beggar was holding his hands and sucking the snot from his nose, the pretty maid waved to him in the pavilion and said, "My lady has an order.  Come up here.  " "Oh, here it comes, I'll come right away!  "The old beggar replied hurriedly, and then took small steps and went up to the pavilion. After getting into the pavilion, the old beggar lowered his head in a polite manner. If others didn't say anything, he would stay silent. "Listen to people.  You said you are good at singing Lotus Falling?  "The incomparably clear voice asked. The old beggar felt that the voice was really nice. It was far away just now and he couldn't hear it clearly. Now that he was close, he felt it was more pleasant to the ear than the oriole's cry. He thought in his heart,  But I don¡¯t know what kind of lady the other party is! ¡°Girl, I¡¯m not the one who always sings about Haikou. In this county, I am the only one who sings Shu Lai Bao and Lian Hua Luo the best!  "The old beggar replied very rudely. "Oh, really, then you can sing it and listen to it¡ª¡ª" Although the voice sounded nice, it seemed a bit cold, not as sweet and sweet as the man in white just talked to.  . ¡°But I don¡¯t know which part the girl wants to hear?  "The old beggar plucked up the courage and raised his head. The pretty maid next to him said: "Didn't I tell you before, just sing that thing about Liu Shen Xiang Subduing the Divine Dragon, and one hexagram will kill the old gentleman Sing it better, don't  I only sang the first half but not the second half!  " Lao Jinghua didn't seem to hear what the pretty maid said at this time, because he was already stunned by the scene in front of him. But inside the pavilion, there was a beautiful woman in white sitting, and she could only see her: hibiscus on her face, willows on her eyebrows, autumn water on her face  She is like a jade and a bone. In terms of her elegant and simple posture, she is like a pearl in a crystal plate; in terms of her radiant beauty, she is also like the bright moon on a red apricot branch. This pair of admiring beauties.  My eyes are so powerful, but I have never seen such a beautiful woman. She thought to herself that it was no wonder that the man in white was so shameless and flattering, but the other person turned out to be a really beautiful girl.Thinking of this, the old beggar, who had never known what inferiority was and had never been ashamed of being a beggar, actually felt an indescribable feeling of filthiness. However, he felt that even looking at her more than once would be a blasphemy against her.  "Hey, did you hear that? My young lady is busy and has other things to do, so hurry up and sing!" Seeing that the old beggar was just in a daze, the pretty maid turned a deaf ear to her own words and couldn't help scolding her.  .  Only then did Lao Jinghua wake up, swallowed hard, and said to himself: "There are such beautiful girls in the world." Then he coughed twice and started singing.  This time, Lao Jinghua sang particularly hard and attentively, with a good accent and a smooth tone. During his rapping, he also described how amazing the "Xiaoliu Shenxiang" was and how he was praised by everyone.  Especially when he sang about Liu Wenyang setting fire to the big locust tree and then killing the python spirit, he even added more fuel and jealousy to depict the thrilling and lifelike scene, making Liu's heroic and fearless image seem to come to life on the page.  Immediately afterwards, when the old beggar sang about Liu Wenyang's first arrival in Poyang City, he showed off his magical powers and predicted death with one hexagram, "match Zhuge".  Liu Shenxiang was forced to use a hexagram to decide life and death, and Zhuge's fate was bad and he died in the west. His rap was fascinating, as if he was standing in front of him during the whole thing, which was extremely real.  "In short, this old beggar's singing skills are really good, and he can sing in one breath without being out of breath.  Seeing that Lao Jinghua had finished singing, the beautiful woman in white said: "You sang very beautifully and interestingly, but you don't know whether the story is true or false?" When Lao Jinghua was asked this question, he said: "The girl said it  It¡¯s true, it¡¯s true, if you say it¡¯s false, it¡¯s false Originally, the lyrics were just made up, and I just listened to them for fun. " "You are sincere but I really want to know what you sang.  What kind of person is that Liu Shenxiang?" The beauty in white seemed to be very curious, staring at the old beggar and asked.  The old beggar was surprised, why would this fairy ask such a question?  !  (To be continued)
