Chapter 10 第十章 When will the moon be clear and bright?( «») 明月几时有(《》) On Qinhuai River decorated boat goes on patrol, rivers both banks are brilliantly illuminated, mid-autumn night Jiangning is does not relate city gate, lives it up must continue Throughout the night with the revelry, must by the 2nd day in the morning will diverge. At this time on the street in city is head wells up, finished eating in the dinner soon time point, people walk from each household, main street and small alley toward centered on Confucian Temple and area Mingyuan building the liveliest street comes, on the path the decorative lantern such as weaves, like enormous and powerful flowing fire that does not extinguish, the peddlers shouted loudly, the team of dragon dance lion dance passes through, beats gongs and drums, there is a performer who the vaudeville earns living to gather in the street, in each family brothel prostitute stronghold spreads the Miaomiao/remote(ly) singing sound that gathers the guest, sometimes can also see inside dance, often has the person to pass in and out, lively. 秦淮河上画舫巡游,河流两岸灯火通明,中秋夜的江宁是不关城门的,热闹与狂欢要持续一夜,要到第二日的清晨才会散去。此时城内的街道上都是人头涌涌,吃完晚饭不久的时间点上,人们从各家各户走出来,大街小巷的往以夫子庙、明远楼一带为中心的最为繁华的街道过来,道路上花灯如织,如同浩浩荡荡的不灭的流火,小贩们高声叫嚷,舞龙舞狮的队伍走过,敲锣打鼓,也有杂耍卖艺的表演者聚集街头,一家家青楼妓寨中传出招揽客人的渺渺歌声,有时也能看见里面的舞蹈,不时有人进进出出,热闹非常。 Slightly famous brothel female has the destination tonight, in the hall can also find the seat occasionally, on the street will often transmit such and such poetry association such and such Young Master to have the news that such and such recent work come out, this is one of the tonight's climaxes, soon after then can hear in some brothel some famous courtesan to sing this poetry reads aloud, soon after then can hear another excellent work in the news that such and such poetry association come out, talent competes mutually, the beautiful women on the garlands beautiful crimson aura these, most people are enjoying the decorative lantern and watching the fun, in the middle of the such atmosphere, can feel Wei and Jin to lose the rhyme, Tang Era is elegant, Also is so nothing more. 稍有名气的青楼女子今夜都已有了去处,大厅之中偶尔还能找到座位,街道上不时会传来某某诗会某某公子有某某新作出炉的消息,这是今晚的重头戏之一,随后便能听见某间青楼之中某位名妓将这诗词唱诵一番,随后便又能听到另一首佳作在某某诗会出炉的消息,才子们互相较劲,佳人们将这些才华饰上一层美丽的绯色气息,大多数人赏着花灯、看着热闹,这样的氛围当中,便可感受魏晋遗韵,唐时风雅,也不过是如此而已。 Dao of Poetry is then prosperous from Tang Era, at this time underwent several hundred years of development, when Ning Yi and Old Qin chatted will say that several „great ability was slightly difficult to say”, because naturally their vision already have not stayed in the ordinary pattern. In fact at this time high level also already of country worried the poetry useless fact, when actually selected scholars for public office in the what kind of standard was recently these for hundred years by repeatedly the thing of weight, the Imperial Court imperial civil service examination excluded the poetry from time to time from the selecting scholars for public office standard, from time to time also took, measured unceasingly, was repeatedly uncertain. 诗词之道自唐时便已兴盛,此时又经过了几百年的发展,虽然宁毅与秦老闲聊时会说上几句“大才小才难说”,那是因为他们的眼界已经没有停留在普通的格局上。实际上此时国家的高层也已经顾虑到了诗词无用的事实,到底当以何等标准取士是最近这百年来被反复衡量的东西,朝廷科举时而将诗词排除在取士标准之外,时而又拿进来,不断权衡,反复不定。 However, even if upper layer will have such to consider, but in fact the position of poetry already at least in the entire big pattern achieved the magnificent position at this time, if you really can write a good poetry, where that is arrives at not to lack the respect and courteous reception absolutely, elegant aura, this is a brand mark of time. Since Tang, numerous vast poetry culture already has precipitated here the background of entire society, in civilization development history the most sparking part, the innumerable celebrated work masterpieces such as the star is innumerable, contrasts in the Chenghan civilization the most important part. 不过,即便上层会有这样的考虑,但实际上此时诗词的地位至少在整个大格局上已经达到了辉煌的位置,你若真能写出一首好的诗词来,那绝对是走到哪里都不会缺乏尊敬和礼遇的,风雅的气息,这是一个时代的烙印。自唐以来,繁繁浩浩的诗词文化已经在这里沉淀成整个社会的底蕴,文明发展史上最为闪亮的一部分,无数名作名篇如星斗恒沙,烘托成汉文明中最为重要的一环。 In at this time Jiangning City, Wuyi Lane and Confucian Temple these places are the liveliest lively business streets, in these places, the display card that some business exhibit, on each poetry association can take the poetic composition that acts one after another to gather, occasionally has the people sound to recite, some business arrange the miss who can sing songs to sing one, on the street, nearby Teahouse Alehouse, at every large or small meetings, the Scholar scholars shakes the head review the good poetic composition, who is appraising poetic composition to sing for a long time, the ordinary people who even if has not studied, can still feel in the such atmosphere to the such ideal condition . The moral behavior of appraisal theory nearby, moistens some elegant aura. 此时的江宁城中,乌衣巷、夫子庙这些地方是最为热闹繁华的商业街,在这些地方,都有一个个商家所摆出的展示牌,各个诗会上能拿得出手的诗作陆续地聚集过来,偶尔有人大声朗诵,也有的商家安排了会唱曲的姑娘唱上一段,街道上、附近的茶馆酒楼里,一个个大大小小的聚会中,文人学子们摇头晃脑地点评着上佳的诗作,品评着何人的诗作能传唱最久,即便是未曾读书的市井小民,在这样的气氛下也能感受到这样的意境,与身边之人品评议论,沾些风雅气息。 Pu Garden six boat convoy has left the shore, is most beautiful lively to go along the rivers slowly, even so, it is not close, more than ten boats follow from all sides in the Qinhuai River both sides shores go, occasionally then the person goes to ferry on, occasionally also carried the person or transmits the poetic composition to come out, like aquatic palace that the small fish follows. Person of embarking tonight the excellent work passes on, will pass on some stories and news, for example at some banquets some great person announced betroths the daughter to someone, or which prominent figure praised the poetic composition outstanding young scholar. 濮园的六船连舫早已离开岸边,沿着河流最美丽热闹的一段缓缓行驶,即便是这样,它也不是封闭的,十余艘小船前前后后地跟随在秦淮河两侧的岸边一路行驶,偶尔接着人去到大船上,偶尔也载了人或是传递了诗作出来,如同小小鱼儿伴随的水上宫殿。上船的人会将今夜所出的佳作传上来,也会传上来一些故事和消息,例如有的宴会上某个大人物宣布了将女儿许配给谁谁谁啊,或是哪个知名人物夸奖了诗作出色的年轻学子啊。 The Pu Garden Poetry Association poetic composition actually also calculated presentable, several years also had early have bought the poem to deal with matter of this day, but already does not need to buy the poem now, since were rich, can always welcome come to several truly bright people. Although could not compare most famous Zhishui Poetry Association or Lichuan Poetry Association these, but after a lively hype, fame getting up slowly. 濮园诗会的诗作其实还算拿得出去了,早几年也有过跟人买诗以应付这一天的事情,但如今已经无需买诗,既然有钱,总能请到几名真正有才华的人过来。虽然还是比不过最有名的止水诗会或是丽川诗会这些,但经过一番热闹的炒作,名气还是会慢慢的起来。 Mid-Autumn Festival poetry association, will be titled moon/month, but naturally cannot a whole evening only write moon, on some poetry association has the limit, host family is quite strong, everyone chatted happily, sets a topic while the whim lasts, poetry association was the Scholar mass organization, there is a comparison to be in sharp opposition or compete secretly, for example Zhishui and Lichuan, after hearing that side topic, somebody will perhaps also say: „Mentioned this, my humble self actually...... then the expression appraised with the people occasionally” calm, in the surface naturally must unable to see that saved the heart of battle to be good. If poetry thing were really to very high level, actually indeed could not decide which one is better, but if missed many, that excellent work did clumsily, was clear. 中秋节的诗会,多会以月为题,但自然不会一整晚只写月亮,有的诗会上有限制,主人家比较强势的,大家聊得高兴,兴之所至出个题目,诗会都是文人社团,也有比较针锋相对或是暗暗较劲的,譬如止水与丽川,听到那边的题目之后,某人或许也会说:“说起这个,小生倒也偶得一首……”然后表情淡定地与众人品评一番,表面上自然要看不出存了争斗之心才行。诗词这东西若真是到了很高的水准,倒也的确分不出高低,但如果差得很多,那佳作拙作,还是一目了然的。 At this time had not arrived at the warmest time, poetry association must arrive at early morning, the truly good poetic composition possibly is really not the skilled artist occasionally, each scholar will prepare 12 self-satisfied work mostly, thought that the own talent was insufficient, does not need to emit in the talent that in front of these top characters revealed shortcomings early, but made peak that batch of talent emit the assassin's mace high tide truly, often must wait till the mid-night to start, if can obtain the good reputation at tonight's this time, saved the fame, in the future official career then can also smooth many. 这时候还没到最热烈的时候,诗会要开到凌晨,真正好的诗作不可能真是妙手偶得,每位学子多半都会准备一两首得意之作,觉得自己的才华还不够,没必要在那些顶尖的人物面前献丑的才会早早放出,而真正让最顶尖的那批才子放出杀手锏的高潮,往往要等到午夜时分才会开始,若能在今晚这个时候获得好的口碑,积攒了名气,往后的仕途便也能顺畅许多。 The dim light of night transfers unceasingly thickly in this atmosphere, the moon/month upper culmination, the atmosphere of city also unceasingly is becoming warm. In the Su Family small dwelling, Ning Yi and Little Chan already went to the room, can look at lively already that to look from here, outside also started to get windy. 夜色在这气氛中不断转浓,月上中天,城市的气氛还在不断变得热烈。苏家的小小宅院里,宁毅与小婵则已经回了房间,从这里能看的热闹已经看了一些,外面也开始起风了。 Outside noise sound indistinct will also pass to here, the master and servant two people held a small Mid-Autumn Festival party. Because records to the Romance of the Western Chamber detail is not quite clear, considering that Romance of the Western Chamber is teaches Young Lady to have an affair, Ning Yi finally gave Little Chan to speak. Journey to the West soon after Little Chan also sang two songs to him, mixing with the young girl is jumping is not skilled dance —— sees at some performance it is said that then oneself study —— Su Tan'er had not considered in the future sees somebody off or tries to please three girls others' idea, therefore she makes three girls be literate to read to make the embroidery and help manages to direct the servant to help her work, has not actually taught them the musical instrument dance, therefore sings and so on, although reluctant meeting, but dances or cannot, but jumps actually appears lithe cute. 外间的喧嚣声隐隐约约的还会传到这里,主仆两人算是开了一个小小的中秋晚会。由于对西厢记的细节记不太清,而且考虑到西厢记是教小姐偷情的,宁毅最终还是给小婵讲了段西游记。随后小婵也给他唱了两个小曲,夹杂着少女跳得不是很熟练的舞蹈——据说是在某个表演上看见,然后自己学来的——苏檀儿并没有考虑过未来将三个丫头送人或是取悦别人的想法,因此她让三个丫头识字看书做刺绣以及帮忙管理使唤下人以帮忙她做事,却没有教她们乐器歌舞,因此唱歌之类的虽然勉强会,但舞蹈还是不会的,只是跳起来倒也显得轻盈可爱。 Under Little Chan likes Gomoku, but Ning Yi after all falls ill, this mental labor must avoid, after Little Chan sang jumped, Ning Yi to play the simple magic to her, took a board game piece to vanish in the hand, then took such in the opposite party hair or the pocket, one that the small girl looked at startled one for the first time, Ning Yi told her with a smile the principle, in the Little Chan clumsy redundant process, Ning Yi just now said: „I must sleep, the time also early, Little Chan you went to that side Pu Garden Poetry Association to play...... were right, invitation on table......” 小婵喜欢下五子棋,不过宁毅毕竟生了病,这种脑力劳动还是要避免的,小婵唱跳完之后宁毅给她玩了个简单魔术,拿着一颗棋子在手上消失,然后在对方头发或者衣兜里拿出来这样的,小丫头看的一惊一乍,宁毅笑着告诉了她原理,小婵笨拙重复的过程中,宁毅方才道:“我要睡觉了,时间还早,小婵你去濮园诗会那边玩吧……对了,请柬就在桌子上……” „After and other Young Master fell asleep, I go again.” Little Chan said with a smile. “等姑爷睡着之后我再去。”小婵笑着说道。 „Heh, did that sing again what kind of to me?” “呵,那再给我唱首歌怎么样？” „Good, which does Young Master want to listen to?” “好啊,姑爷想听哪首？” This time song actually generally was the poetry, the names of the tunes of cipoetry and so on have the fixed singing technique, but arrived at modern these singing techniques to be lost on already. The song and poem that Little Chan can sing are actually not many, two people took a poetry anthology to choose the song in the bedside. 这时的歌曲其实大抵都是诗词,词牌之类都有着固定的唱法,只是到得现代这些唱法就已经失传了。小婵会唱的词曲其实也不多,两人拿了一本诗词选集在床边选歌。 „Chanted fishing......” “咏渔子……” „This Little Chan cannot.” “这个小婵不会。” „Remembering Jiangnan this?” “忆江南这首呢？” „This will sing.” Little Chan prepares to sing in high spirits. “这个会唱。”小婵兴冲冲地准备唱。 „considers as finished, this does not like.” “算了,这首不喜欢。” „That Charms of Niannu does Young Master want to listen?” “那念奴娇姑爷想听吗？” „This Prelude to Water Melody unexpectedly is good, Uh...... Prelude to Water Melody......” “这首水调歌头倒是不错,呃……水调歌头……” „This meeting meeting.” “这个会这个会。” „Will sing Prelude to Water Melody?” Ning Yi pondered, „Oh, Little Chan very many.” “会唱水调歌头？”宁毅想了想,“喔,小婵会挺多的嘛。” „Sang this?” “就唱这个吗？” „Uh...... seperately sang one, was Prelude to Water Melody......” “呃……还是另外唱一首,也是水调歌头……” Ning Yi idled bored, in fact remembered Faye Wong's When will the moon be clear and bright?, but this Su Shi of age did not seem to write this, he made Little Chan bring the written records, lay composes a poem toward the xuan paper on the bedside crooked, making Little Chan sing to listen, Little Chan looked at two bright sparkling: „Young Master writes?” 宁毅闲得无聊,实际上是想起了王菲的明月几时有,不过这年代的苏轼似乎没把这首写出来,他让小婵拿来纸笔,趴在床边歪歪扭扭地往宣纸上写诗,让小婵唱来听,小婵看得两眼亮晶晶的:“姑爷写的吗？” „Oh.” Ning Yi thinks, looked a Little Chan face anticipates, to shrug, „I write, gave you. Sang quickly sings quickly.” “喔。”宁毅想想,看小婵一脸期待,耸了耸肩,“我写的,给你了。快唱快唱。” Little Chan looked at a while that word, according to the names of the tunes of cipoetry rhythm sang earnestly, the small girl melody was light and lively, although was not really specialized, because was too earnest, the midway instead sang the branch one time, but the ideal condition was very good, after Ning Yi hear, smiled: „Teaches you another singing technique.” 小婵将那词看了一会儿,按照词牌韵律认真地唱起来,小丫头唱腔轻灵婉转,虽然不甚专业,由于太认真,中途反而唱岔了一次,但意境还是很棒的,宁毅听完后笑了笑:“教你另外一种唱法。” „?” Little Chan is blinking, „other...... singing technique?” “呀？”小婵眨着眼睛,“另外的……唱法？” „Um, I sang you to sing one, should very easy to learn...... Heh, was mainly I wants to listen.” “嗯,我唱一句你唱一句,应该很好学……呵,主要是我想听。” Although some doubts, but since can learn the thing, Little Chan cheers up immediately, she follows in the Ning Yi nearby time is longest, therefore also already understands that on gradually this Young Master some very interesting place, soon after under the guidance of Ning Yi, in the room, Little Chan will then illuminate that novel melody frequently very much mystically this Prelude to Water Melody studies. 虽然有些疑惑,但既然能学到东西,小婵随即高兴起来,她跟随在宁毅身边的时间最久,因此也已经渐渐明白这个姑爷身上常常会有些很神秘很有趣的地方,随后在宁毅的教导下,房间之中,小婵便照着那新奇的旋律将这首水调歌头一句句的学起来。 „When will the moon be clear and bright?, raises one's wine cup to ask the blue sky......” “明月几时有,把酒问青天……” „When will the moon be clear and bright?, raises one's wine cup to ask the blue sky......” “明月几时有,把酒问青天……” „Does not know above the skies palace error......” “不知天上宫阙……” „Does not know above the skies palace error......” “不知天上宫阙……” „Wú, but when also good...... now evening is.” “唔,还不错……今夕是何年。” „Wú, but when also good...... now evening is.” “唔,还不错……今夕是何年。” „......” “……” „Hee, Young Master sang next......” “嘻,姑爷唱下一句嘛……” In any event, soon, Ning Yi heard many some modern songs of longing in this time. In the future if possible , unexpectedly can copy down to teach a Little Chan person to sing the modern song, or later looks to compose to play the musical instrument, gives the spectrum to come out similar song, oneself personal listens in any case well, with cannot ascend place of refinement that also to have nothing. 无论如何,不久之后,宁毅还是在这个时代听到了多少有些怀念的现代歌曲。往后如果有可能,倒是可以把现代歌曲抄下来教小婵一个人唱,或者之后找个会谱曲弹奏乐器的,把类似的曲子也给谱出来,反正自己私人听听就好,拿不出去登不得大雅之堂那也没什么。 „Feels what kind of? Of pleasant to hear?” “觉得怎么样？好听吗？” „Very Ah… of pleasant to hear...” Although the names of the tunes of cipoetry have the fixed singing technique, but ancient times's these songs also had/left a source with many dramas, many were the single sound music, changed persuasively, compared with the modern song was inferior eventually, moreover what the rhythm of this song walked was the gentle route, relative this time also not excessively odd, what if sang at this time was the mouse loves the rice, Little Chan estimated that did not die disgustingly dies by Eh, but the small girl looked at his look just like already to turn into the admiration and admiration at this time, „Young Master will also compose......” “很好听啊……”词牌虽然有着固定唱法,但古代的这些歌曲与许多戏曲也同出一源,多是单声音乐,就婉转变化来说,比起现代歌曲终究是不如的,而且这首歌的韵律走的是柔和路线,相对这个时代也并没有过分离谱,如果在这时候唱的是老鼠爱大米,小婵估计不是被恶心死就是被吓死,但这时候小丫头望着他的眼神俨然已经变成了敬佩与仰慕,“姑爷还会作曲……” Ning Yi smiles: „This song oneself hmph hmph well, do not sing everywhere randomly, your small girl, dares to change the names of the tunes of cipoetry singing technique randomly the words, will refer to erratically is said that knew innocent?” 宁毅笑起来:“这首歌自己哼哼就好,别到处乱唱,你一个小丫头,敢乱改词牌唱法的话,指不定会被人说不懂事的,知道了吗？” „Um.” Little Chan holds that xuan paper, makes an effort to nod. “嗯。”小婵捧着那张宣纸,用力点头。 „Good...... good night.” Ning Yi climbs in the bedding, after the moment has turned head, discovered that Little Chan still sat on the stool of bedside is looking at him, probably when couple days ago he caught cold sits is being same at the bed border defense, keeps off to wave: „I was all right, goes out.” Little Chan then responded, quickly stood up out the communication to walk. “好了……晚安。”宁毅爬进被窝里,片刻后扭过头,发现小婵仍然坐在床边的凳子上望着他,像是前几天他感冒时坐在床边守着一样,挡下挥了挥手:“我没事了,出去吧。”小婵这才反应过来,赶快站起来往门外走去。 „Hey, the invitation on table takes, otherwise be careful does not make you embark......” “喂,桌子上的请柬拿上,要不然当心不让你上船……” Shouted one, when blew out the lights to take the invitation to go out to Little Chan to close, Ning Yi hit big yawn, the loud noise of city was still transmitting indistinctly, the window is screening the slight ray actually also showed that sufficiently outside at this time was lively, he smiled: „A Night of Dragon and Fish Dance Ah…...” soon after, is involved in the middle of the sleepiness. 叫嚷一通,待到小婵吹灭灯火拿了请柬出去关上了门,宁毅才打了个大大的呵欠,城市的喧闹声仍在隐约传来,窗上映着的些微光芒却也足以证明外面此时的热闹,他笑了笑:“一夜鱼龙舞啊……”随后,卷入睡意当中。 Little Chan backed on wooden pole of room to stand dull some little time, confirmed after Ning Yi really fell asleep, just now goes downstairs, returning to Room own the point to light a lamp, puts out the words paper inkstone to come, to lie in her table general that because wrote in the bedside appeared the handwriting unattractive words and phrases to copy, the character written with a writing brush of small girl was very small, there is a beautiful spiritual energy. She looked at several character that Ning Yi wrote, was just now red the small face to admit drawer lowest level conceals, was just like a thief general. 小婵背靠着房间的木柱子呆呆地站了好一会儿,确认宁毅是真的睡着了之后方才下了楼,回到自己的里点上灯,拿出笔墨纸砚来,趴在她的桌子上将那因为是在床边写的而显得字迹不漂亮的词句又抄了一遍,小丫头的毛笔字很小,有一股娟秀的灵气。她将宁毅写的字又看了几遍,方才红着小脸放进抽屉最底层藏了起来,俨如做贼一般。 soon after, she went out of the courtyard, sees on the path no one, just now runs to go to that side the front door, wanted a carriage to Manager there with an idle cart driver, joined in the fun happily toward Pu Garden Poetry Association that side. 随后,她走出了院子,看见道路上没人,方才一路小跑去往大门那边,到管事那里要了一辆马车与一个空闲的车夫,高高兴兴地往濮园诗会那边凑热闹去了。 The small girl, like this type eventually very much lively. 小丫头嘛,终究还是很喜欢这种热闹的。
