Chapter 13 第13章 In Turtle Crane Garden( «») 龟鹤园中(《》) The females who the similar time, in the houses of Pan Residence backyard, participate in the performance are putting on make-up or resting in a room, Zhishui Poetry Association botanical garden from their only separation of one wall, if had/left the corridor, can behind the gauze curtain of road junction look this meeting conducts. 同样的时刻,潘府后院的房舍之中,参与表演的女子们正在一间间的房中化妆或休憩,止水诗会的园林距离她们仅一墙之隔,若是出了走廊,也可以在道口的纱帘后方看着这场聚会的进行。 Tonight can participate in this performance, is Qinhuai Riverbank had certain fame female mostly, has the place of respective directing person mostly, if ordinary poetry association, their, can shoulder the general situation, but today nevertheless is not good. In Zhishui Poetry Association is not the male, many people come with the partner, for example Old Qin brought concubine Lady Yun that understands poetry, other are also many some people to lead the wife to come, or some demure Young Lady. Under the such situation, they cannot become the lead absolutely, even sits eye-catching when the performance is also incorrect. 今晚能来参与这表演的,大都已是秦淮河畔有了一定名气的女子,多半有着各自的引人之处,若是普通的诗会,她们其中的一个,也能挑起大局,但今日却是不行。止水诗会中过来的并非都是男性,许多人都是携伴前来,例如秦老带了懂诗文的小妾芸娘,其余也多有人带妻室前来,或是某一家的闺秀小姐。这样的场合下,她们就绝对不能成为主角,甚至在表演之余坐出去吸引眼球那也是不行的。 However, even if goes out to perform the dance, so long as has the splendid talent and skill, that still enough made a profound impression, their grade of females, if side were only many male, that stance then put high, acted with constraint. If in the such situation, then acts the green leaf peacefully, sleek/moist thin silent letting person remembers. Arrogant and acts with constraint is only the method, the fame is truly the most important thing. 不过,即便只是出去表演歌舞,只要有着出色的才艺,那也足够给人留下深刻的印象了,她们这等女子嘛,若身旁只是众多男性,那姿态便放得高一些,矜持一些。若是在这样的场合,便安安静静地扮演绿叶,润物细无声的让人记住。高傲和矜持只是手段,名气才是真正最重要的东西。 Tonight arrived here fame highest two females, generally must calculate that Goldwind House Yuan Jin'er with directing spring Lu Caicai of pavilion, in the room, Yuan Jin'er is holding in the cheeks looking left and right bronze mirror to spend the appearance after makeup, maidservant Kou'er also to look in side at this time, in mouth but actually and Young Lady chuckle conversation: „Young Lady, you go out to perform time, that Young Master Cao however toward you have looked, the eye has not winked Oh.” 今夜到这里的名气最高的两名女子,大抵得算金风楼的元锦儿与引春阁的陆采采,此时在房间之中,元锦儿正捧着脸颊左右顾盼铜镜中花了妆后的样子,丫鬟扣儿也在旁边看着,口中倒在与自家小姐轻笑着交谈:“小姐,你方才出去表演的时候,那曹公子可是一直朝着你这边看呢,眼睛都没有眨过一下哦。” Yuan Jin'er smiles is glancing her one eyes: „I go out to perform, they looked toward me, having anything is strange. unexpectedly Kou'er you, actually only saw a Young Master Cao person, making people quite strange.” 元锦儿微笑着瞟她一眼:“我出去表演,他们自是朝着我这边看,有什么奇怪的。倒是扣儿你,却只看见了曹公子一个人,让人好生奇怪。” „Young Lady .” Kou'er wrinkled a small red painted-face to express the protest, „he looked at steadily!” “小姐啊,是真的嘛。”扣儿皱了一张小红脸表示着抗议,“他目不转睛呢！” „You, if not for looks at him steadily, how also to know him to look at me steadily.” Yuan Jin'er continues to tease with a smile, little maidservant was also embarrassed the mouth to dig, decided to pay no attention to her, but passed the moment, depended: „Young Lady, this fight of poem leaders, actually who can attain tonight.” “你若不是目不转睛地看他,又怎知他目不转睛地在看我。”元锦儿继续笑着打趣,小丫鬟窘得嘴也撅了起来,决定不理她了,不过过得片刻,又靠了过来:“小姐,今夜这斗诗魁首,到底谁能拿到啊。” Yuan Jin'er is inlaying a little flower in hairs on the temples: „literature does not have first, fights the poem not to have the true standard, where also had what leader, your girl, was likes asking these. However must say that several will be sung for a long time, unexpectedly can see.” She takes up on the table several book notepaper, „Young Master Cao these that Young Master Wang, Young Master Xi, also has you like, ‚bluish green Tianru the water, deep milky way is clear’, Heh, this feared is best, like this you were happy...... also has Lichuan that side Young Master Li, Young Master Tang......” 元锦儿偏着头在发鬓间嵌上一朵小花:“文无第一,斗诗也没有真正的标准,哪里又有什么魁首了,你这丫头,就是爱问这些。不过要说那几首会被传唱最久,倒是能看得到的。”她拿起桌上几张书笺,“王公子的,席公子的,还有你喜欢的曹公子的这几首,‘碧天如水,湛银潢清浅’,呵,这首怕是最好的了,这样你便高兴了吧……还有丽川那边的李公子,唐公子……” little maidservant is pursing the lips: „Who likes Young Master Cao.” 小丫鬟撅着嘴:“谁喜欢曹公子啊。” „Does Uh, dislike him?” The Yuan Jin'er look visits her nimble and resourceful. “呃,讨厌他？”元锦儿眼神灵动地望望她。 „Also no, but Kou'er you considers for Young Lady, Young Master Cao likes you, your today comes with him together, if can have Young Master Cao to assist, next year Qinhuai Queen of Flowers, feared that must fall on Young Lady your body. If Young Master Cao next year spring examination high school......” “也没有啊,不过扣儿是为小姐你着想嘛,曹公子喜欢你,你今日又是与他一同前来,若能有曹公子相助,明年的秦淮花魁,怕就要落在小姐你的身上了。而若是曹公子明年春闱高中……” The maidservants are saying incessantly, Yuan Jin'er smiles, cancelled her nose: „Knew.” soon after takes up Cao Guan that word of book to come to see. Among she and Lu Caicai, Lu Caicai excels at the pipa, she excelled at guzheng, in the art or technique of singing said that she was better, this word she must go out to sing later, looks that while within the heart sang shallowly, actually smiled gently, seemed like actually resembles by great talent pursue smiling of happiness. 小婢滔滔不绝地说着,元锦儿笑起来,勾了勾她的鼻子:“知道了。”随后拿起曹冠所书的那首词来看。她与陆采采两人当中,陆采采擅琵琶,她擅古筝,唱功上说起来还是她更好,这首词她待会是要出去唱的,一边看着一边在心中浅唱,倒也轻轻地笑了起来,看起来倒像是被大才子追求的幸福的笑。 Actually slightly professional the prostitute on Qinhuai River, said mostly rough life experiences, majority is false, arranges, but that is also only compiling in detail, they have in a rough life experience concept actually basic right. Arrived the class/flow of Yuan Jin'er Lu Caicai this grade of famous courtesan, they studied poetry, actually naturally, will admire talent that has the talent study variously, but, although has famous courtesan to appreciate others talent therefore marries poor Scholar(egghead) and so on becoming a favorite story occasionally purely, that actually also is really a few in a few. Her today rode in a carriage to come with Cao Guan at the invitation of Pan Residence nevertheless together, seeming like already was very close, in her heart to the Cao Guan talent is to also admire, but really must say whether likes, liked Kou'er saying that appearance that nevertheless the she herself not clear matter. To them, seems like many things around a center, opportunity that actually really can choose, were not many. 其实在秦淮河上稍稍敬业的妓女,多半都自称有一番坎坷身世,大部分是假的、编的,但那也只是细节上的编造,她们都有着一番坎坷身世这个概念上却基本没错。到得元锦儿陆采采这等名妓之流,她们学了诗文,其实自然而然的,也会仰慕各种各样有才学的才子,不过,尽管偶尔有名妓单纯欣赏他人才华于是嫁给穷书生之类的传为佳话,那却也真是少数中的少数。她今日应了潘府邀请却是同曹冠一同乘车前来,看起来已经很密切了,她心中对曹冠才华也是佩服的,但真要说是否喜欢,喜欢到扣儿说的那种样子,却是连她自己都不清楚的事情。对于她们来说,看起来众星捧月,其实真能选择的机会,本就不多。 However, if can avoid these ideas slightly, tonight poetry association, oneself actually indeed has the harvest very much. 不过,若能稍稍避开这些想法,今夜的诗会,自己倒也的确是很有收获的了。 She is singing that song and poem repeatedly, after the moment, Kou'er nevertheless came from the entrance: „Young Lady Young Lady, as if also had the good poetry, we had a look.” 她反复地唱着那词曲,片刻后,扣儿却是从门口那儿过来:“小姐小姐,似乎又有好诗词了,我们去看看吧。” „Oh?” She puts down the writing paper with a smile, goes out with Kou'er together, toward the corridor entrance gauze curtain that side in the past, several females already gathered here, Lu Caicai also already came, she said in a soft voice: „Elder Sister, how?” soon after then is also attached to that gauze curtain to watch, is hearing that side to transmit „raises one's wine cup to ask blue sky” the sound, previously Pan Guangyan already read one time, this is a scholar recited for the second time. “哦？”她笑着放下笺纸,与扣儿一同出门,朝长廊门口纱帘那边过去,好几位女子都已经聚在了这边,陆采采也已经过来,她轻声道:“各位姐姐,怎么了？”随后便也附在那纱帘边观看,正听到那边传来“把酒问青天”的声音,先前潘光彦已经读了一次,这是其中一位学子的第二次吟诵了。 The poetry association atmosphere actually somewhat is but actually strange at this time, was slightly more peaceful, in the middle of the beforehand grand occasion, everyone writes poetry to read poems very enthusiastically, happily chatted quietly, at this time actually resembles by some aura suppressing generally. The people were still tasting that poetry, soon after these females are also making a writing paper that copied that word, encircled in the same place entire will look, soon after looked, Yuan Jin'er raised the head, happen to touched with the Lu Caicai vision. 诗会的气氛倒此时其实有些奇怪,稍稍安静了些,之前的盛况当中,大家作诗吟诗都很踊跃,言笑晏晏,这时候倒像是被某种气场给压制了一般。众人仍在回味着那诗词,随后这些女子也弄来了一张抄了那词的笺纸,围在一起将全篇看了一遍,随后又看一遍,元锦儿抬起头,正好与陆采采的目光相触。 „Pu Garden Poetry Association......” “濮园诗会的……” „How possibly......” “怎么可能……” „Su Residence, Ning Yi, Ning Liheng, this is who?” “苏府,宁毅,宁立恒,这是谁呀？” „Has not heard Ah…...” “没听说过啊……” First immerses compared to outside that group of scholars in the poetry, then why here females after are its actually person who detecting the significance of this poetry first cares do, several people looked at several that inscription, each other inquired, has actually never heard this name. At this time outside also some already people asked: „Everyone felt, this word how?” 相对于外面那帮学子首先沉浸于诗词当中,这边的女子们在察觉到这诗词的意义后首先关心的便是它到底为何人所作,几人将那落款看了好几遍,彼此询问,却从未听说过这个名字。这时候外面也已经有人问道:“大家觉得,此词如何？” „Person has vicissitudes of life, the moon/month has the ups-and-downs, this matter ancient Nanquan......” “人有悲欢离合,月有阴晴圆缺,此事古难全……” „This word......” “这词……” „This word actually is who does?” “这词到底是何人所作？” Suddenly no one said the appraisal, some unexpectedly people in muttering the nod said faintly „excellent”, soon after recited poetry that person then also to take to read the inscription: „Su Residence, Ning Yi and Ning Liheng, but do some people know this person of is who?” 一时间没有人说出评价,倒是有人在喃喃点头中隐隐说了“绝妙”,随后念诗那人便又拿起来念了落款:“苏府、宁毅、宁立恒,可有人知道此人是谁么？” A peace. 一阵安静。 „But, since at this time surnamed Ning, why is inscription Su Residence?” “不过,此时既然姓宁,为何又是落款苏府？” „Which Su Residence?” “哪个苏府？” „Pu Garden Poetry Association, feared that is not Su Textiles that.” “濮园诗会,怕不是苏氏布行那个吧。” „Is it possible that is this person Su Residence the class/flow of Adviser Manager?” “这人莫非是苏府的管事师爷之流么？” „Before had not heard this person of Ah…...” “之前未曾听说此人啊……” The people look at each other in blank dismay suddenly, discuss spiritedly, but regarding this name, everyone is confused, no one has listened. Pan Guangyan soon after also has to call round trip outside to take that person of poem, this person is not a servant, but is his half disciple, some talents, listening to the teacher to ask, just now mentioned the matter that he knew with a smile. 众人一时间面面相觑,议论纷纷,但对于这个名字,大家都是一头雾水,没人听过。潘光彦随后也只好叫来去外面取诗的那人,这人并非下人,而是他的半个弟子,也有些才华,听老师问起来,方才笑着说起他知道的事情。 „Oh, this person heard that is Su Residence live-in son-in-law, before several months, just now marries into the wife's household Su Family, is the Su Residence Second Young Lady Su Tan'er husband. What is interesting is that below also hears some views but actually, it is said this Ning Liheng today dyed the cold, appearance Pu Garden Poetry Association, he tonight in home recuperates said this word with a maidservant, entertained, who knew above poetry association some people saying that its did not have poetic talent, this maidservant listened, but, then took this word came out...... Hehe, that side said like this, below actually did not know the truth.” “哦,这人听说乃是苏府赘婿,数月之前方才入赘苏家,为苏府二小姐苏檀儿夫婿。有趣的是在下倒还听到一些说法,据说这宁立恒今日染了风寒,并未到场濮园诗会,他今夜在家休养时与一小婢说出这词,本是自娱自乐,谁知诗会之上有人说其毫无诗才,这小婢听不过,便将这词拿了出来……呵呵,那边是这样说,在下倒也是不知真伪。” „Su Residence...... live-in son-in-law?” “苏府……赘婿？” This saying, not only the people on the scene, the female after side gauze curtain also look at each other in blank dismay, the soon after speaking voice then also made a sound. 这话一出,不仅在场的众人,旁边纱帘后的女子也是面面相觑,随后说话声便也响了起来。 „Hasn't arrived?” “未曾到场？” „This matter was extremely also strange......” “此事也太过离奇了吧……” „My unexpectedly...... unexpectedly had never heard is live-in son-in-law can have this to study......” “我倒是……倒是从未听说过为一赘婿者能有此才学的……” „Ning Yi Ning Liheng, has not truly heard Ah…...” “宁毅宁立恒,确实未曾听说过啊……” That side the gauze curtain, the little maidservant Kou'er doubts said: „This is not that Pu Garden Poetry Association wants to become famous, buys?” 纱帘那边,小丫鬟扣儿疑惑地说道:“这个不是那濮园诗会想要扬名,买来的吧？” Every year poetry association, wants to buy the poem to become famous, by no means is any unusual matter, inside story as we all know, even if buys, is generally impossible to buy the poetry of this quality, knows the after status of opposite party, some people in the heart generally such suspected. If really has this talent, how also possibly to run to marry into the wife's household? At this time, some that side people will have doubts to say. 每年诗会,想要买诗扬名,并不是什么稀奇的事情,其中内幕大家都知道,只是就算是买,大抵也不可能买到这种质量的诗词,知道对方的身份之后,众人心中大抵都有这样的怀疑。若真是有这种才华的,又怎么可能跑去入赘？这个时候,那边也有人将疑惑说出了口。 „This matter feared that is very difficult to be convincing......” “此事怕是很难让人信服……” „Can it be that does Su Residence want to become famous, the word that buys does?” “莫不是那苏府想要扬名,买来的词作吧？” This sound by no means is loud, speaking that person is also only the exploratory tone, but the people can hear, silent a moment later, some people obviously then must agree: „This matter actually......” 这个声音并不大,说话那人也只是试探性的语气,但众人都能够听得到,沉默片刻之后,有人明显便要表示同意:“这种事情倒也……” Beginning people when was done to infect by this word, has not thought many, then soon after „live-in son-in-law” and „peon” these information well up, after that word makes a comparison, actually also had the huge contrast, some thoughts of doubts almost may not suppress to rise, after all somewhat calm person has not spoken, but poetry association saved many hearts of ratio fighting tonight eventually, few people said subconsciously. Also at this time, the severe sound, handed down from the stage suddenly: „Zixing! Shut up!” 众人初时被这首词作所感染,也未想得太多,然后随后“赘婿”、“无名小卒”这些信息涌上来,与那词作对比之后,却也产生了巨大的反差,有些疑惑的念头几乎是不可抑制地升上来,这其中毕竟有些沉稳之人未曾说话,但今夜诗会终究还是存了许多比斗之心的,一部分人下意识地说了出来。也在这个时候,严厉的声音,陡然从台上传下:“子兴！闭嘴！” The person of that speech named Yu Zixing, was jumped by this sound Eh, looks up, actually sees in the Old Kang forehand to take the writing brush to look at him, the vision is serious, does not get angry, but the prestige, pressed everyone's discussion. Suddenly, in the field becomes one piece peacefully. 那说话的人名叫虞子兴,被这声音吓了一跳,抬头望去,却见康老正手中拿着毛笔望着他,目光严肃,不怒而威,将所有人的议论都压了下来。一时间,场内安静成一片。
