Beloved Concubine

Chapter 59 Teaching Songs
Nie Feng introduced to the three girls:
"This is Mrs. Chen, the proprietress of Chunji Snack Restaurant, who is singing the 'Ha Mei' this year. This is her husband-in-law, Mr. Fang."

"I've seen Mrs. Chen, I've seen Mr. Fang."

The three girls saluted.

Chen Xiaodao: "Don't mention 'Hamei' anymore, it sounds silly, like Erha."

"How could sister Ha be so stupid?" Nie Feng didn't understand.

"Anyway, don't mention these two words again." Chen Xiao said.

"Okay, okay." Nie Feng introduced the three girls:
"This is Miss Qingqing." He was referring to the dignified and cold woman.

"This is Miss Rong'er." He was referring to that playful and lovely woman.

"This is Miss Xiner." He was referring to the winking girl.

Nie Feng said to Chen Xiao: "The three of them have the best voices here, let them sing for you now?"

"Okay." Chen Xiao nodded.

Nie Feng motioned for them to sing a song each.

Girl Qingqing silently cleared her throat, and sang an ancient poem:

"Qingqingzi caresses my heart, even if I don't go to Zining, I don't listen..."

She has a plain voice and correct words, but she doesn't have much emotion, she just sings for singing.

Then there was Miss Rong'er, who sang a duet.The voice is crisp, bright and penetrating.

The last is Miss Xiner, her voice is pure and sweet, mellow and charming.

Chen Xiao thinks that the sound quality of the three of them is good, and they can sing many songs.However, according to the songs they sang just now, Chen Xiao taught them respectively: Miss Qingqing's "Guanju", Miss Ronger's "Tracker's Love", and girl Xiner's "Flowers and Full Moon".

Chen Xiao sang it for them first.

The "Guanju" she sang is a lively version of the modern New Gagaku. It doesn't need accompaniment, and beats the beat on the wooden table to accompany it. A brisk and lively "Guanju" blurted out:

"Guanguan Jujiu, in the river continent. A fair lady, a gentleman likes a good man. There are various waterweeds, flowing from left to right..."

Chen Xiao slapped the table loudly, as if he was beating a tambourine and singing.

Girl Qingqing looked at her in surprise.

When she heard that she was the proprietress of the snack bar, she was Hamei. Although Xie Yunqing, the former dignitary and noble daughter, had fallen into prostitution, she still looked down on the common people.

She thought Mrs. Chen would teach them some vulgar songs, but she didn't expect that she would know the Book of Songs.

After Chen Xiao sang a song, Nie Feng felt itchy and wanted to knock on the table too.

"Miss Chen, have you ever read?" Nie Feng asked in surprise.

"Do I look like someone who has never read?" Chen Xiao asked.

Fang Yu bowed his head and smiled secretly.He felt that Nie Feng was a bit stupid, and suddenly he didn't hate Nie Feng so much.Because this kind of person will not be his rival in love.

Nie Feng took a breath: "It's not like that!"

Chen Xiao said to Miss Qingqing: "You should know this poem, right?"

"Yeah." Qingqing nodded.

"Then I don't need to write." Then he said to Nie Feng: "Prepare paper and pen."

Nie Feng brought a pen and ink from the tea table.Some of the guests here like to play elegantly, and they often write or draw something. There are paper, ink, pens and inkstones on the table beside the tea table.

Nie Feng handed the pen to Chen Xiao, and then grinded the ink.

Chen Xiao saw that he had finished researching the ink, and handed the pen back to him.

"You write."

"I'm afraid I made a mistake."

Fang Yu took the pen and smiled at Nie Feng, "Have you never read a book?"

"I have read it. It's just that I haven't written for a long time." In fact, Nie Feng's handwriting is too ugly and he is ashamed to see others.

Fang Yu laid out the paper, picked up a pen and asked Chen Xiao, "What do you want to write?"

Nie Feng was surprised again: "Brother Fang, have you also read books?"

Fang Yu smiled and said, "Do I look like someone who has never read a book?"

Nie Feng nodded slightly, but said in his mouth, "It's not like that!"

He has seen Fang Yu's kung fu before. How can a person with that kind of kung fu still have time to study?

Chen Xiao said to Fang Yu: "This song is called 'Tracker's Love', and it's a male and female duet. I sing it with a low voice, and it's a male voice; I sing it with a crisp voice, it's a female voice."

Then she said to Nie Feng: "This song is for Miss Rong'er, I'm afraid you will have to sing it with her."

Nie Feng didn't care about how to sing in the future, he said with interest: "You sing first and listen."

Chen Xiao cleared his throat, lowered his throat to imitate a male voice, and sang out of breath:
"Sister, sit on the bow of the boat, while brother walks on the shore, swinging the rope affectionately."

Fang Yu chuckled.He felt that Chen Xiao was also a little silly.

But the next line, Chen Xiao sang with a clear and high-pitched girl:

"Little sister, I'll take the bow, brother, you walk on the shore, our love, our love, swinging on the rope, swinging..."

The previous song "Guan Ju" could not reflect the characteristics of Chen Xiao's voice, but this one really shows the strength of her voice.

Rong'er's voice is the best among them, she used to be a geisha in Li Mansion, because of her singing voice and appearance, she was taken as a concubine by Master Li.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, Master Li was sent to prison, and she was demoted as a slave prostitute as a family member.Of course, in fact, she was a slave prostitute in the past, but she used to be a slave prostitute exclusively for the Li Mansion, but now she is a slave prostitute in a brothel.

Hearing Chen Xiao sing "Guan Ju", Rong'er was dissatisfied.I thought: I was born as a kabuki, so you want to teach me how to sing?But with her current status, she can do what others say, and she dare not refute, but flatter and flatter her.

Hearing Chen Xiao sing "Tracker", although Rong'er was still dissatisfied, she had to admit: she really sang well.

After that, Chen Xiao sang "Flowers and Full Moon".It's that song: "The clouds are scattered, the moon shines on people, the reunion is happy, the present is drunk, the ducks are playing in the shallow pond..."

This song was taught to Miss Xiner, her voice is very suitable for this song, and she can sing a feeling of singing and singing in the old days.

Several people were writing lyrics, Chen Xiao sang a line, Fang Yu wrote a line, someone knocked on the door outside, and came in to report:
"Shopkeeper, something happened in the yard over there, please go and have a look."

"What happened?" Nie Feng asked.

The person who came was a steward, he glanced at Chen Xiao, then at Qingqing girl, bowed his head and said:

"Three boys came in the yard over there, they belittled Miss Lian'er, and Miss Lian'er jumped into the well..."

"What's wrong with my sister?" Miss Qingqing became excited all of a sudden.

"It's fishing." The steward replied.

Qingqing immediately ran out, anxious.

When Chen Xiao and Fang Yu heard the words, their expressions suddenly changed.Chen Xiao grabbed Nie Feng's wrist:

"Where is the yard he said? Take us there quickly."

Chen Xiao didn't expect such a thing to happen.

Xiao Shitou is 14 years old, Cao Yong is 15 years old, Erlong is [-] years old, three and a half teenagers, what frivolous things will they do?
Seeing Chen Xiao holding Nie Feng's hand, Fang Yu quietly separated them, saying:
"Don't worry, just go and have a look."

Nie Feng looked puzzled and said:

"Lian'er is only 11 years old, what can she be so frivolous?"

"what?!"

Chen Xiao imagined a picture of animals in his mind.Three and a half teenagers and one 11-year-old girl.

OMG!
