Chapter 40 第40章 A Night of Dragon and Fish Dance ( 6 ) 一夜鱼龙舞(六) When the females go out the door in courtyard pours water, the front lights screened the last evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month liveliness. Behind Goldwind House the courtyard is not big, but can be fine, if is not Goldwind House several leading roles, generally does not have the means to live in the such courtyard. The today lantern festival, the such courtyard is actually not brilliantly illuminated, is actually the quite rare situation. 女子走出院子里的房门倒水时,前方的灯火映出了上元夜的繁华。金风楼后方的这个院子不大,但算得上精致,若非是金风楼的几名头牌,大抵没办法住在这样的院子里。今日上元佳节,这样的院子却并非是灯火通明,其实是相当罕见的情况。 Actually this courtyard most lights extinguished some time ago, near 11 p.m. to 1 a.m, the person who must come to visit the sick are actually not many. Nie Yunzhu looked, turned around returns to that room, Lord Yuan Jin'er of yard is lying on the bed looks at the oil lamp to be in a daze, soon after smiles to her. Nie Yunzhu also smiled, puts away the face shape, sits the bedhead. 其实这院子多数的灯火是不久前才熄掉的,已近子时,要过来探病的人其实也不多了。聂云竹看了看,转身回到那房间里,小院的主人元锦儿正躺在床上望着油灯发呆,随后冲她一笑。聂云竹也笑了笑,放好脸盘,坐回床头去。 Properly speaking, Nie Yunzhu should not come tonight, although can come to teach zither | Jean every several days a time, but she already leaves Goldwind House, especially at night, holiday, should not approach here. However this time is also the exception. Tonight and Hutao (walnut) takes to the streets to watch lanterns together, soon after met studied the Goldwind House female of zither | Jean with her, she is coming out to dye cold Yuan Jin'er got medicine, Nie Yunzhu listened, making Hutao (walnut) visit, knowing Yuan Jin'er wants to see her, pinched the time not early, this came from the Goldwind House back door. 照理说,聂云竹今晚是不该过来的,虽然每隔几日会过来教一次琴,但她已经离开金风楼,特别是夜晚、节日,不该靠近这里。不过这次也算是例外。今夜与胡桃一同上街赏灯,随后遇上了与她学琴的一名金风楼女子,她正出来为染了风寒的元锦儿抓药,聂云竹听了,让胡桃过来探望一趟,得知元锦儿想见她,掐掐时间也不早了,这才自金风楼后门进来。 Yuan Jin'er now is the Goldwind House signboard, although catches an illness by chance, but the such day wants to live in seclusion and decline visitors is very difficult, before some people have visited, confirmed after Yuan Jin'er really falls ill, talked several to go out. Now was honored as Jiangning 1st talent Cao Guan also to search twice, he drank wine to compose a poem with one crowd of talent outside at this time, when Nie Yunzhu came, but also held Yuan Jin'er maidservant Kou'er to deliver one, chanted in the sickness beauty, Yuan Jin'er also has to smile to accept, making Kou'er go out to thank. 元锦儿如今是金风楼的招牌,虽然是碰巧染了病,但这样的日子想要闭门谢客还是很难,之前一直有人过来探望,确认元锦儿真是生病后,交谈几句才出去。如今被誉为江宁第一才子的曹冠也来探了两次,他此时在外面与一群才子饮酒赋诗,聂云竹进来时,还托元锦儿的丫鬟扣儿送进来一首,咏病中美人的,元锦儿也只好笑笑收下,让扣儿出去答谢。 „Said, this Cao Guan, actually indeed can be the literary talent strikingly...... Younger Sister what kind of?” “说起来,这曹冠,倒也的确算得上文采斐然的……妹妹怎么样？” Expressing the two sisters must speak the confidences, sends after Hutao (walnut) went out, Yuan Jin'er that poetry paper with Nie Yunzhu has a look , after Nie Yunzhu looked at one, put down. Yuan Jin'er is also good, Nie Yunzhu is also good, has seen talent are many, the poetic composition that this kind wrote conveniently although can see the talent, wants shockingly, nevertheless was somewhat difficult, care the sickness of Yuan Jin'er, Yuan Jin'er shakes the head with a smile. 表示姐妹俩要说说私房话,将胡桃也打发了出去之后,元锦儿才将那诗笺拿给聂云竹看看,聂云竹看了一遍后放下了。元锦儿也好,聂云竹也好,见过的才子都多,这类顺手写成的诗作虽然能见才情,想要惊艳,却是有些难了,关心的还是元锦儿的病,元锦儿笑着摇摇头。 „Actually fell ill lightly, taking 12 medicines was probably good, is only because of this cold, the menstruation also arrived by chance, the whole body worn out and aching feels weak, wants to open the mouth to sing is then more difficult. Was good also consented because of mother today blocked some guests for me, her side feared that was in a terrible fix.” “其实病倒轻,吃一两帖药大概便好了,只是因着这风寒,恰巧月信也到了,全身酸软乏力,想要开口唱歌便更难。好在妈妈也应允了今日为我挡住些客人,她那边怕是得焦头烂额。” „Mother heart is good.” Nie Yunzhu nods, orderly, has ample, the person then many consciences, if other places, she feared in the past could not redeem this, soon after smiles, said other matters: „Younger Sister and Cao Guan how?” Yuan Jin'er walked recently quite near with Cao Guan, her many are knows. “妈妈心还是好的。”聂云竹点点头,有秩序,有宽裕,人便多少有些良心,若是其它地方,她当年怕是也赎不了这身,随后笑起来,说些其它事:“妹妹与曹冠如何？”元锦儿最近与曹冠走得比较近,她多少是知道的。 „How can, reputation that's all of talent beautiful woman, Elder Sister not say that his after all has the talent study. To Yuan Jin'er, Cao Guan and Li Pin, there is what difference? To Cao Guan, actually is Yuan Jin'er or Lu Caicai, generally is also might as well.” “能如何,才子佳人的名声罢了,姐姐不也说么,他毕竟是有才学的。对元锦儿来说,曹冠、李频,又有何区别？对曹冠而言,到底是元锦儿还是陆采采,大抵也是无妨的。” The Yuan Jin'er age compares oneself to others Nie Yunzhu to be small, usually is sporty, the impertinence that open mixes with is others likes her biggest reason, but unexpectedly appears is discouraged today lazy. Nie Yunzhu wipes the face to her with the towel: „Do not say like this, since he choose you not to choose Lu Caicai, has the favorable impression to you.” 元锦儿年纪自比聂云竹小,平日里活力十足,开朗中夹杂的俏皮算是旁人喜欢她的最大理由,不过今天倒是显得慵懒灰心。聂云竹拿毛巾给她擦擦脸:“别这样说,他既然选你而不选陆采采,自是对你更有好感的。” „Jin'er said that wants to look to have the family background, can Jin'er, when the pig raises, hee, Cao Guan does not have money, therefore does not like very much.” “锦儿说了,想找个有家世的,能把锦儿当猪养的,嘻,曹冠没钱,所以不是很喜欢。” „If really fostered the pig you, feared that was must make a clean sweep immediately.” The Nie Yunzhu racket her face, „Cao Guan has the talent, some day the high school wants not to have the issue, when the time comes indeed cannot Jin'er you, when the pig does raise?” “若真把你养成了猪,怕是立刻得被扫地出门了。”聂云竹拍拍她的脸,“曹冠既有才华,异日高中想是没问题的,到时候不也的确能把锦儿你当猪养么？” „under the heavens talent are many, is what Jiangning 1st talent in others mouth, wants the high school so to be then easy? Let alone if in the family/home does not have money to arrange, only the successful candidate, wanted to make up a reality to lack must wait for......” Yuan Jin'er to lie down there is saying, soon after pursed the lips pondered, „Sister Yunzhu, you said that if Jin'er also gave oneself to redeem the body, with you together how sold that Century Egg?” “天下才子多呢,便是别人口中的什么江宁第一才子,要高中便那么容易么？何况家中若没钱打点,只中进士的话,想要补个实缺也要等啊等啊等……”元锦儿躺在那儿说着,随后抿嘴想了想,“云竹姐,你说,要是锦儿也给自己赎了身,与你一同去卖那松花蛋如何？” Nie Yunzhu smiles: „Got sick stupidly?” She comes occasionally one time, somewhat talked with Yuan Jin'er, therefore Yuan Jin'er also knows that at this time she makes the sesame seed cake car(riage) currently, recently fiddled with what Century Egg and so on, but has not seen the appearance. 聂云竹笑起来:“病傻了吧？”她偶尔过来一次,与元锦儿也有些交谈,因此元锦儿此时也知道她目前弄了个烧饼车,最近又捣鼓了什么松花蛋之类的,只是还没见过样子。 Yuan Jin'er thought a while, laughs foolishly: „is not, but Hutao (walnut) must get married, after she gets married, Sister Yunzhu you will also feel lonely, happen to Jin'er can also accompany you, Sister Yunzhu you said such well Century Egg, is the business that gains steadily, Jin'er also calculates that had the dependence.” 元锦儿想了一会儿,傻笑:“不是啊,只是胡桃也要成亲了,她成亲之后,云竹姐你也会觉得孤单吧,正好锦儿也可以来陪你,云竹姐你把松花蛋说得那样好,想必是稳赚的生意,锦儿也算有依靠了啊。” „All day is thinking, when the pig raises, at this time said that must work, wants to come is gets sick muddled.” Nie Yunzhu smiles, she naturally understands that Yuan Jin'er this saying makes the non- answer at this time, but arises suddenly fantasy nothing more, „also where has the business that gains steadily, I also tried to find out all day, before daily lost money. Moreover, feared that is not good to get married, must become the unmarried woman, Jin'er asks to be able you, when the pig raises can hurt your great talent......” “整天想着给人当猪养,这时候却说要去做事,想来是病糊涂了。”聂云竹只是笑,她自然明白元锦儿此时这话做不得数,只是突发奇想而已,“又哪有稳赚的生意,我也才整天摸索,之前天天亏本呢。而且啊,怕是不好嫁人,要成老姑娘的,锦儿还是找个能把你当猪养又能疼你的大才子吧……” „Can work as female Storekeeper also imposing Ah…...” Yuan Jin'er said, soon after two people chatted Cao Guan, Li Pin and other talent, actually talent had year after year, every year were many, two people also knew much. Yuan Jin'er falls ill and came the menstruation at this time, the mouth is slightly virulent, Nie Yunzhu hears is also happy, in this period actually talked about Ning Yi. “能当女掌柜也蛮威风啊……”元锦儿如此说说,随后两人聊起曹冠、李频等才子,其实才子年年有,每年都很多,两人也认识不少。元锦儿此时生了病又来了月事,嘴巴稍微恶毒点,聂云竹听得也是开心,期间倒也谈到了宁毅。 „That Prelude to Water Melody is really good, what a pity such person nevertheless married into the wife's household the merchant family/home, moreover this words and phrases buy......” “那首水调歌头真好啊,可惜这样的人却是入赘了商人家,而且这词句还是买来的……” Nie Yunzhu said in a soft voice: „You do not know that Ning Liheng, how to know naturally to buy?” 聂云竹轻声道:“你又不认识那宁立恒,怎知那是买的？” Yuan Jin'er smiles with closed lips: „Sister Yunzhu , if interested, front pouring to go to listen to the corner, the today first fullmoon, these talent one must say, suspected that word is to buy.” 元锦儿抿着嘴笑:“云竹姐若有兴趣,倒可以去前面听听墙角,今日上元,那些才子一准又得说起来,怀疑那词是买的。” About Ning Yi topic these, Nie Yunzhu had not said that the idea of oneself view, Yuan Jin'er was also only the speaking thoughtlessly review in the past, soon crossed says somewhat tired, Nie Yunzhu took the cup to make her drink some water: „Rests, best to sleep.” 关于宁毅的话题也就这几句,聂云竹没有说自己看法的想法,元锦儿也只是随口点评过去,过得不久说得有些累,聂云竹拿着杯子过来让她喝些水:“休息一下,最好是能睡上一觉。” Yuan Jin'er supports the quilt not to rest, outside broadcasts the lively banquet sound indistinctly. Nie Yunzhu sits in the bedside accompanies her, soon after hugs to place on the leg nearby guqin, the convenient plectrum has several notes, crosses one, opens the mouth to sing in a low voice to make noise: „Outside roadside shelter, near the ancient road, the fragrant grass blue...... this voice is lithe day after day”, but spoke thoughtlessly slowly sang, actually gave an entire space elusive tone, resembled to cover outside that noise, Yuan Jin'er looked toward here, Nie Yunzhu looked at her to smile: „Night breeze strokes the willow tree whistle sound to be remnant, setting sun Shanwaishan.” 元锦儿拥着被子只是不睡,外面隐约传来热闹的宴会声音。聂云竹坐在床边陪她,随后将旁边的古琴抱过来放在腿上,顺手弹拨出几个音符来,过得一阵,开口低唱出声:“长亭外,古道边,芳草碧连天……”她这嗓音轻盈柔软,只是随口缓缓的唱出,却给了整个空间一份空灵的气韵,似是将外面那嘈杂声掩盖了过去,元锦儿朝这边望来,聂云竹看她笑笑:“晚风拂柳笛声残,夕阳山外山。” „Is Sister Yunzhu this what music?” “云竹姐这是何种乐曲？” Zither sound sound slowly, Nie Yunzhu smiles but not answer, soon after also sang: „The border and place corner/horn of day, the knowledge takes half fallen......” 琴音缓缓的响,聂云竹笑而不答,不久之后又唱到:“天之涯、地之角,知交半零落……” This sees off is the Ning Yi year ago gave her second song, Nie Yunzhu was deliberating recently, when sang to one, the zither music made a sound just now stopped for a long time. 这首送别是宁毅年前交给她的第二首歌曲,聂云竹最近都在推敲,待到一曲唱完,琴音又响了许久方才停下。 Yuan Jin'er is having doubts: „actually resembles is «Ruan Langgui», but first half's first should be seven characters is right, the second half is somewhat different, even Yunzhuan was narrow, how can like this...... be only the Sister Yunzhu singing technique is really of pleasant to hear......” she pondered, stares the big eye, „is it possible that is Sister Yunzhu studying the new singing technique?...... This also some...... Uh, should be the work of game......” 元锦儿疑惑着:“倒像是《阮郎归》,只是上阕第一句该是七字才对,下阕有些不同,平韵转仄了,怎能这样呢……只是云竹姐的唱法真是好听……”她想了想,瞪大眼睛,“莫非云竹姐在研究新唱法？只是……这样也有些……呃,该是游戏之作吧……” Most people of Yuan Jin'er contact sang the artisan sound artisan, only had Nie Yunzhu already enters the inner chamber from the main room, or may call the master, must change some singing techniques, she was entitled, naturally, the real important person accepted that is very difficult, but this in any case was not the public publication. Even but if in the Yuan Jin'er hear, pleasant to hear no doubt is of pleasant to hear, but this singing technique indeed is extremely extraordinary, surprised, only considers the work of game, soon after tastes the ideal condition in that lyrics. 元锦儿接触的大多数人都只是唱匠声匠,唯有聂云竹已然登堂入室,或可称师了,要改些唱法,她是有资格的,当然,真要人接受那也很难,不过这反正也不是公开发表。可即便在元锦儿听来,好听固然是好听,但这唱法的确太过出奇,惊讶一阵,只当是游戏之作,随后才回味那歌词中的意境。 „Although simple, but this sentence is really the good ideal condition, what a pity is not the word does, can only call the short phrase. The Sister Yunzhu talent, Jin'er really envies.” “虽然简单,可这句子真是好意境,可惜并非词作,只能称短句了。云竹姐的才华,锦儿真羡慕呢。” „I do not make...... Jin'er little to move about, well rest.” “非我所作……锦儿少动来动去的,好好休息吧。” „Did Sister Yunzhu meet the loved one?” “云竹姐遇上意中人了么？” „Other indulges in flights of fancy, could not marry.” “别胡思乱想,嫁不了的。” „Oh, which miss wants to come is...... Um, this kind of short phrase plays, like......” “喔,想来是哪家的姑娘了……嗯,这类短句游戏,也像……” This «Send-off» actually also pays attention to the rhyme, but does not revere the names of the tunes of cipoetry, is not the poetic composition, listens to the ideal condition, although is good, but also can only say that is the work of game. She thinks like this, Nie Yunzhu are not many explains, but forces in her the quilt with a smile. Also at this time, the outside footsteps sound got up, nevertheless Kou'er and Hutao (walnut). Kou'er is somewhat nervous, in the hand takes poetry paper: „Young Lady Young Lady, leaving to be accidentally accidental, this Young Master Cao feared that must lose......” 这首《送别》其实也是注意押韵的,但不尊词牌,也不是诗作,听来意境虽好,但也只能称是游戏之作。她这样想,聂云竹也不多做解释,只是笑着将她塞进被子里。也在这时,外面脚步声响起来,却是扣儿与胡桃。扣儿的神情有些紧张,手上拿着一张诗笺:“小姐小姐,出意外了出意外了,这次曹公子怕是又要输了……” When Nie Yunzhu had not previously come, Kou'er takes care of Yuan Jin'er in the bedside, master and servant has mentioned the tonight's many poetic compositions. At the quantity, Lichuan that side excellent work naturally is most. But by individual, Cao Guan displays good in tonight, several excellent work are that renowned, Li Pin went to that side Pu Garden to feast display the doctrine of the mean, therefore looked like in Kou'er, tonight many poetry association, feared that was the Cao Guan fame must by solid one time. However these runs without reason, obviously has problems. The Yuan Jin'er doubts said: „How Ah?” 先前聂云竹还未过来时,扣儿在床边服侍元锦儿,主仆俩就说起过今晚的诸多诗作。以数量来说,丽川那边的佳作自然是最多的。但以个人来说,曹冠在今夜发挥甚好,几首佳作都为人称道,去了濮园那边赴宴的李频则只是表现中庸,因此在扣儿看来,今夜的诸多诗会,怕是曹冠的名气又要被坐实一次了。然而这一下没头没脑地跑进来,显然又出了问题。元锦儿疑惑道:“怎么了啊？” „That side Pu Garden also had the poetic composition to come, this everyone arrived by Eh, the outside atmosphere was quite strange......”, although this time was not six boat convoy, but Puyang Family poetry association was called Pu Garden Poetry Association in the last evening of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. “濮园那边又有诗作过来了,这次大家都被吓到了,外面气氛好怪呢……”虽然这次不是六船连舫,但濮阳家的诗会在上元夜还是被称为濮园诗会的。 „Puyang Family...... how?” Although the future goal is to want by the person, when the pig raises, but after all has had the so long contact, Yuan Jin'er hopes eventually the Cao Guan reputation is high, at this time had doubts received that writing paper. “濮阳家……又怎么了？”虽说将来的目标是想要被人当猪养,但毕竟有过这么久接触,元锦儿终究还是希望曹冠名声高的,这时候疑惑地接过那笺纸。 Nearby Nie Yunzhu unexpectedly smiled: „It seems like Li Pin Young Master Li could not bear...... Puyang Family kill a dark horse to come out eventually” already five months ago to be very dismayful, this time wants to come is evening's not wonderful Li Pin sent the wind averagely, put out an excellent work to deter the people. This is not extraordinary, sometimes some Li Pin this person of style always sword walks slanting strokes, nevertheless makes people feel shocking very much. 旁边的聂云竹倒是笑了起来:“看来李频李公子终究还是忍不住了……”濮阳家在五个月前杀匹黑马出来已经很令人惊愕了,这次想来是一晚上都平平无奇的李频发了飙,拿出一首佳作来震慑住了众人。这个不出奇,李频这人的风格一向有些剑走偏锋,有时候却是很让人感到惊艳。 Heard Young Lady to say like this, the Hutao (walnut) look was somewhat complex, as if had the words not to know that should say. Kou'er goes all out to shake the head: „is not is not, is not Young Master Li, is that Ning Yi Ning Liheng, he made a first fullmoon word......” 听得小姐这样说,胡桃神色有些复杂,似乎有话不知道该不该说。扣儿拼命摇头:“不是啊不是啊,不是李公子,是那宁毅宁立恒,他又作了一首上元词……” „Ah?” “啊？” Nie Yunzhu gawked staring, looks hastily toward that writing paper on. Nearby Kou'er already said vividly: „Outside said well interesting, heard that this Ning Yi has not planned today participates in poetry association, but window-shopping time was seen, was invited, a large crowd also creates obstacles for him......” 聂云竹愣了愣,连忙也朝那笺纸上看去。旁边扣儿已经绘声绘色地说了起来:“外面说得好有趣呢,听说这宁毅今天本来没有打算去参加诗会的,只是逛街的时候被人看到,就被请上去了,一大群人还刁难他……” When Nie Yunzhu looks at the word on that writing paper to do at this time, sees half, already cannot hear these static. 聂云竹此时看着那笺纸上的词作,看到一半时,已经听不到那些杂音了。 She and some Ning Yi communication already date and time, they are not communicate because of the scholarship, but regarding the Ning Yi ability, Nie Yunzhu nevertheless has heard. Among two people never raises scholarship poetry anything, only communicated as ordinary friend, but if said that Nie Yunzhu in the heart did not have the anticipation, to have doubts anything, from was also not possible. 她与宁毅来往已经有些时日,他们并非因为才学而来往,但对于宁毅的才气,聂云竹却是一直都听说了的。两人之间从不提才学诗词什么的,只以普通朋友身份来往,但若要说聂云竹心中没有期待、疑惑什么的,自也是不可能。 To her, at present is she has not then seen, Ning Yi other aspect. 对于她来说,眼前便是她未曾见到的,宁毅的另一面。 „Easterlies of the night call to bloom blossoms of a thousand trees. Blows to fall, star such as rain......” “东风夜放花千树。更吹落,星如雨……” Yuan Jin'er read low voice, until final that inscription: 元锦儿小声地念出来,直到最后的那个落款: Su Residence. 苏府。 Ning Yi. 宁毅。 Ning Liheng. 宁立恒。
