Cannon fodder meets cannon fodder

021 Long Night Residual Snow

After Ming Qifan finished reading this line, he didn't understand what the poem meant, so he thought it was very good, opened his mouth to think about it and said with emotion: "This poem...is very unique."

He thought of the word "chic", and Yu Chengze finally read the meaning of the poem, and he always felt that there was a small hint of sadness. Hearing that Ming Qifan used the word "chic" to describe it, his originally stunned mood eased. After looking at Ming Qifan, he felt that this kid's Chinese is not very good.

Wearing a half-arm skirt, the quiet girl spoke at this moment, with a gentle voice: "Young Master Ming, Mr. Yu, this is the "Shuangtune·Toad Palace Song" written by Xu Zaisi, a sanqu master in the Yuan Dynasty. Later generations commented on his works as Guilin Qiuyue."

Yu Chengze nodded, Ming Qifan said with a smile that he had learned a lot, and the two of them didn't stay any longer, and continued to follow the two girls along the corridor.

As he walked, Yu Chengze found that the temperature had dropped, and it was shady and cool. Under the lotus lamp, he saw... snow.

"This is... snow?"

Yu Chengze couldn't help but make a sound, Ming Qifan also glanced over, and there were a lot of white snow piles under the corridor and at the corners.

"Artificial snow." The girl replied softly, "A crystal that absorbs heat, like snow but not real snow."

Yu Chengze looked at the quaint corridor, where the lotus lamps were connected to each other, and then looked at the snow piled up in the corridor, he felt a little admiration for the owner of this guild hall, and he really had a heart.

A few steps behind, after walking through the corridor, there is a stone gate for the moon worship, and when you step in, you will see a small courtyard with a square shape, and the four corners of the courtyard are also piled up with snow-like crystals. The scenery of this small courtyard is like winter.

Above the courtyard is a towering locust tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, and there are exquisitely shaped ancient palace lanterns hanging around it, which can't be said to be very bright, but it illuminates the world in a hazy and graceful way.

Further forward, there are doors with wooden carved paper windows, which must be pushed open to enter. The room is also decorated in the same shape as in ancient times.

In the small courtyard, there are stone benches and stone tables. The girl wearing a crimson and white skirt did not get up at the stone table. Yu Chengze and Ming Qifan sat at the stone table. Elegant, not like the service staff in the restaurant, as if they really walked into a small courtyard of the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago, and the maids in skirts were waiting for the returning master.

"This is Xiaoman." The quiet girl who introduced Xu Zaisi before said, she and another girl owed each other, "I'll eat in a short while, Xiaoman's tea art is very good, how about some tea first?"

As she finished speaking, the girl known as Xiaoman had already raised her hands, and her wide sleeves slid down to reveal the girl's slender wrists. The movements of her hands were flowing without stagnation. He pushed two cups of light-colored tea to Yu Chengze and Ming Qifan.

"There's no need to keep anyone here." Ming Qifan didn't look at the girl, while Yu Chengze thanked Xiaoman, who raised his head and smiled.

"Okay, we'll stay outside the arch."

The two girls bowed again, but Ming Qifan pointed at Xiaoman: "She doesn't have to stay either."

Xiaoman raised his head, his eyes were a little confused, but he also got up after reacting, bowed and followed the two girls out of the small courtyard.

In the night, only Yu Chengze and Ming Qifan were left. Ming Qifan picked up the teacup and drank like a cow, and drank it in one gulp. After drinking, the kid picked up the teapot and filled another cup for himself. Yu Chengze tasted it carefully. , I feel the aftertaste is sweet and the fragrance of tea is overflowing.

"That girl is dumb." Ming Qifan finished his second cup and said to Yu Chengze, "Every 'waiter' in this guild hall who is in charge of staying in different halls is dumb, and it always feels quite creepy to stay. "

Yu Chengze was a little startled, and then he didn't know how to evaluate: "The owner of this guild hall is really...not to be underestimated, does that Xiaoman not even recognize words?"

Ming Qifan nodded, Yu Chengze felt that he had really come to a very profound place, he even arranged for an illiterate mute to be a waiter, which shows the thoughtfulness of the owner behind this guild hall.

The two of them didn't continue talking about this, when dinner was served, Ming Qifan said that he would eat outside instead of entering the house.

The two girls who led Yu Chengze and Ming Qifan in ordered the waiter to put the food on the stone table, and they both introduced each other when they put down a dish.

"Cherry Billow."

"Golden custard."

"Bafang cold food cake."

"Yulu group."

"Longevity porridge."

……

Snacks were delivered one by one, just hearing the name Yu Chengze felt a strong Chinese flavor, Ming Qifan pointed out a few more, and the two girls still introduced the ingredients and history one by one, all of them are Food in the Tang Dynasty.

After the introduction, Ming Qifan waved his hand, and the two girls retreated, leaving only him and Yu Chengze in this small courtyard.

"It's really worth the money." Yu Chengze knew that this kind of guild halls are based on people, and he was able to come in because of Ming Qifan's glory. Yu Chengze couldn't help laughing, "My two words are for this meal." , it's really worth it."

Ming Qifan picked up the jug by the table, and he sniffed it: "It should be sake or something, Uncle Yu, would you like some?"

Yu Chengze has already picked up a Yulu group, he doesn't usually drink alcohol, but he is also curious about what kind of wine this Tang Yuan will pair with, so he nodded, so Ming Qifan poured him a full glass.

Next, the two chatted casually while eating. Ming Qifan seemed like a student who really wanted to improve, and asked a lot of music questions. Can grab people's hearts.

Yu Chengze didn't hide his secrets, he answered them one by one, and sometimes hummed a few words directly while speaking, as a demonstration for Ming Qifan, so that he would get thirsty easily, and before he knew it, the two of them had finished three pots of wine.

Yu Chengze is not good at drinking, but Ming Qifan is much better. When he found out that something was wrong, Yu Chengze had already stood up shaking his body, and walked slowly to the tree.

"Uncle Yu, what are you doing?"

Ming Qifan followed, Yu Chengze stood in front of the tree, tilted his head, looked at Ming Qifan, then looked back at the tree trunk.

"You have a great sense of live." Yu Chengze gave the tree trunk a serious look, "But singers, surely you can't just sing in one style."

Ming Qifan: "...Huh?"

"Although seeing you appearing next to Xiao Xia, I feel it is an eyesore." Yu Chengze continued to face the tree trunk with a serious expression on his face, "But because of your serious attitude towards music, I reluctantly call me Teacher Sheng Yu." I will accept you as an apprentice."

Ming Qifan realized that Yu Chengze was drunk, he took the tree trunk as him, and those words were all addressed to him.

"I still think you are an eyesore, uncle. Who else cares about being your apprentice!" Ming Qifan curled his lips and stood beside Yu Chengze. He looked at Yu Chengze's serious expression and muttered serious teaching, thinking about this person How could he send him back when he was so drunk?

Ming Qifan was worried, he had no experience in taking care of drunks, the next second, he opened his eyes wide and saw Yu Chengze turned around and sat down slowly against the tree trunk.

Ming Qifan squatted down and went to look at Yu Chengze: "Don't be on the ground, the courtyard is shady and cool, be careful of catching cold, and what to do if your butt is frozen."

If Yu Chengze was awake, he would have to complain about the last half of Ming Qifan's words, but now he is drunk, he just looked up at the night sky, and said to himself: "Ming Shao, slow song, I will give you Let’s sing a song, it’s nice to listen to, I don’t know if you’ve heard it before.”

Ming Qifan moved his legs: "God Yu? Teacher Yu? Can you get up first? Let's stop singing, it's cold on the ground. You can sing whatever you want, I will definitely listen!"

After Ming Qifan finished speaking, Yu Chengze ignored him, and he had already sang softly.

The voice was not loud, but the small courtyard was already quiet, and the small voice could clearly diffuse in the courtyard. Yu Chengze must have lowered his voice, he sang in bass, and also sang clear and ethereal.

"On the darkening clouds

eagle soaring alone

must be sad

in the silent wind

hold on to the wings of the sky

Can't stop

……

how to describe my heart

walk alone"

Ming Qifan listened to this song, it was indeed the first time he heard this song, the prelude was very low bass, the tone was gentle but also... It was the first time he heard that there was a song, it was so lonely.

He looked at the small courtyard in a daze. The night was very dark. He woke up and watched the long night with the feeling of "loneliness". The snow in the four corners of the courtyard was like The remaining snow left behind by the passing of winter is the last struggle of last season.

How did you choose Tang Yuan?

Ming Qifan thought with some annoyance, the long night and lingering snow, he and the people sitting here who were drunk and singing, seemed to have become travelers entangled in loneliness.
