    [1] "The Rainstorm in Youmei Hall" by Su Shi. Poem

    There is a thunder on the sole of the tourist's feet,

    A full house full of stubborn clouds can't get rid of;

    The black wind outside the sky blows the sea to stand,

    ? The rain is coming across the river in eastern Zhejiang.

    Very glistening gold bottle convex,

    A thousand sticks knock on the drums and drums;

    Arouse the immortal spring to sprinkle the face,

    Tilt the shark room and pour out the roses.

    ? Seeing the handsome and handsome guy whom he had admired for a long time come upstairs, Xu Susu hurried to Ji Xu's side, singing and dancing, trying his best.

    Du Shiniang couldn't stand it anymore, so she patted Susu's butt lightly, and said, "Okay, don't be awkward, let Mr. Ji make way!"

    Susu twitched and stepped aside, and stopped singing at the same time.

    Du Shiniang clapped her hands again, signaling the maids to stop the accompaniment.  Said: "Everyone, the one next to me is Ji Xu, Ji Jieyuan, a famous talent in Sichuan"

    As soon as her words fell, there was a loud thunder, as if shaking from the foot of the Yellow Crane Tower; followed by a raging mist, rolling in from the hidden valley, at first it was like tulle, and then it was like cooking smoke, strand by strand.  Wrapping around the golden crane tower.

    The mist that came in through the broken window lingered around Ji Xu and Shi Niang.  This made the handsome man and the beautiful woman more like they came from the heaven, and made the whole surrounding immediately become like smoke and dust, like a poem and picturesque.

    All of you present here seem to have entered the illusory fairyland, as if wandering in the heaven and the earth.

    This thunderous lightning really frightened the delicate and tender Shi Niang.

    She calmed down for a while, then came back to her senses, and said with a joke: "It seems that Mr. Ji is really a star of Wenqu. How dare a little girl like me call you by your first name? If you mention it inappropriately, you will be struck by lightning!"

    Everyone roared with laughter.

    Shi Niang continued to introduce: "Speaking of Mr. Ji being a child prodigy, you may not know—Mr. Ji obtained the title of 'Jie Yuan' at the age of eight."

    When everyone heard it, they gave warm applause.

    Du Shiniang introduced Jia Zhengli, the three Zhou family brothers, Xie Yuelang and Xu Susu to Ji Xu one by one.  After the introduction, they sat cross-legged, and Du Shiniang naturally sat beside Ji Xu.

    [2] "Voice of Heartfelt Love. Woman's Flower" Anonymous

    The moonlight shines on the Qin Tower like water, and the midnight music is soft.

    The girlfriends in the boudoir are fun, indulgent and drunk.

    ? Spring dreams are astringent, locks are light and worrying, and bloom in autumn.

    A beautiful body, live up to the youth, but also romantic.

    After "Three rounds of wine and five flavors of food [1]", Du Shiniang said that he would play "Xingjiu Ling".

    But drinking orders is a game played by literati, how can people like Zhao brothers and Jia Zhengli play it?  Xie Yuelang suggested to play "roll the dice".

    For some reason, Du Shiniang's luck is particularly bad today!  After a few laps, I always "win wine".  Then he said: "Throwing dice is really boring. It's all about luck, and there is no wisdom I won't play it! I won't play it!"

    Said on Wednesday: "You can stop playing, you can drink all the wine on the table!"

    Du Shiniang stretched her pink face and asked, "Why?!"

    On Wednesday said: "Just because you don't play with us~"

    Du Shiniang said: "Now that the rain has stopped and the moon is returning home, shouldn't it be time for us to end?"

    Said on Wednesday: "No, I haven't played enough!"

    Jia Zhengli also echoed: "Yes, yes, Ten Niangzi hasn't sung for us yet!"

    Du Shiniang looked at Ji Xu, and said, "Young Master Ji, how about we play a game?"

    Ji Xu asked: "What game?"

    Du Shiniang said: "We will use the 'dice' that is being played on the table as the theme, and everyone will chant a poem. If anyone can't chant or write poorly, they will drink all the wine on the table  "

    Ji Xu was supposed to save Du Shiniang, so he readily agreed: "Okay!"

    Seeing Ji Xu's straightforward answer, Shi Niang added another item, "I have to add one more, if anyone loses, they have to sing a song for everyone."

    "Okay, who will come first?" Ji Xu agreed.

    "Mr. Ji, invite first!" Du Shiniang thought, are you sure you will win, or are you not afraid of singing?

    [3] "Nangezi Ci - Part 2" by Wen Tingyun. Ci

    Ji Xu stood up, wandering and thinking.

    But Du Shiniang was a little proud, thinking: "Dice" is something people like us play, no matter how talented or talented you are,Mood has been taken from someone else's hands.  Then he said with interest: "Let me sing a song for everyone!"

    After finishing speaking, Du Shiniang began to play and sing:

    [Song] "On a night alone, loneliness comes with you. The lonely person knows that no one understands the temperature. I have to raise my cup, one cup after another. The lonely person is easy to get drunk.

    I have also experienced the beauty of two people. The joy of two people and cuddling each other is the ashes of the past.  Lonely man!  I want to have someone to accompany me, I just don't want to get drunk alone.

    O lonely people!  Cup after cup and cup after cup, until the end, nothing but heartbreak remains.  Lonely man!  Cup after cup, cup after cup, burn my stomach, don't cry again.  "

    Du Shiniang stood up again.

    She came to the table and poured the wine on the table into her mouth glass after glass.

    When she drank from the wine glass in front of Ji Xu, Ji Xu snatched back the glass from Shi Niang's hand.

    Du Shiniang looked at Ji Xu affectionately, and sang in tears:

    [Song] "On a night alone, loneliness comes with you. The lonely person knows that no one understands the temperature. I have to raise my cup, one cup after another. The lonely person is easy to get drunk.

    I have also experienced the beauty of two people. The joy of two people and cuddling each other is the ashes of the past.  Lonely man!  I want to have someone to accompany me, I just don't want to get drunk alone.

    O lonely people!  Cup after cup and cup after cup, until the end, nothing but heartbreak remains.  Lonely man!  Cup after cup, cup after cup, burn my stomach, don't cry again.

    O lonely people!  Cup after cup and cup after cup, until the end, nothing but heartbreak remains.  Lonely man!  Cup after cup, cup after cup, burn my stomach, don't cry again.

    Lonely people get drunk easily"

    Notes

    [1] Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food

    The dining table culture has always been one of the important components of Chinese traditional culture. It has been deeply integrated into all aspects of Chinese society, transcending class and era.  There is an old saying sometimes mentioned in the population of the older generation, which is called "the wine has three rounds, and the food has five flavors".

    This old saying has rich connotations. If you understand it in a different way, you may get a different understanding.  So, what does it mean when people often say "the wine has three rounds and the food has five flavors"?

    After toasting three rounds of wine and five flavors of food (sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty), it means that the eating part of the banquet is basically over, and the stage of talking is about to begin.

    Xun, one is the ancients, especially in the banquets of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it means toast. At that time, toasting to others with a wine spoon; another meaning is the concept of a quantifier, and there is probably as much as a jar of Xun wine.  .  Chinese literati are very elegant. If we say that we drank a large jar of wine, it sounds very vulgar, so we use a round of wine instead.

    There is another explanation for "drinking for three rounds", that is, drinking for three rounds.

    For example, if there are five people at the same table, then everyone drinks once, which is a round, that is, "one tour".  This is the original meaning of "Xun".  Later, some areas had an extended meaning, that is, everyone must dry up the "wine in the glass" before it is called a tour.  The so-called "three patrols" are three cups.  The host pours wine for each guest once, like a tour of the city, after pouring it three times, the guests drink it all up, which is called "three rounds of wine".

    In fact, this cliché also indicates that the banquet has reached a certain level, and we can start talking about any substantive issues, or that the banquet has come to an end.

    "Five flavors" evolved from the five elements, and it is also an elegant quantifier with a general meaning.  That is to say, every dish has been eaten or tasted; it means that all the dishes have been served.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
