Chapter 697 Sword Dance
So she turned her head to look at Ming Guang, and said with some relief: "Fortunately, Xia'er is not as stupid as a mother like me."

Ming Guang immediately answered her, Auntie must not say that, you are not stupid, it is Yunxia who is too smart, green is better than blue because of blue.

"Oh, Mingguang can still speak. You and Xia'er are a natural pair of smart people." Yun Xianiang answered happily.

At this time, thunderous applause broke out in the lobby.

It turned out that the dancers' dance was coming to an end, the dancer who was sitting playing the piano stood up, walked slowly to the middle of the stage, suddenly stretched out her arms, and fluttered her sleeves lightly, many petals flew out from the sleeves, and landed on the stage one after another.

The sky is full of flowers and rain, what a beautiful scenery!

It was the first time for the audience in the lobby to see such a fresh dance, click their tongues, and all kinds of praise kept ringing out.

After praising the artistes of Yaliyuan, everyone praised Liji Restaurant and invited Yaliyuan, and they were lucky to see such a good show.

When Yun Xianiang saw Petal Rain, she began to sigh from the bottom of her heart: "Xiaer, this dance is so wonderful. It's only after living such an advanced age that I realized that I can dance like this."

"Ya Liyuan deserves to be a well-known theater troupe. Judging from today's performance, it really deserves it!"

Ming Guang stared thoughtfully at the dancers who bowed to everyone on the stage, and continued to appreciate what Yun Xia Niang said.

Both of them were very excited, only Yunxia was calmer.

Yunxia has seen dances that are much more novel than this, so it is not surprising.But she is still very grateful to Ya Liyuan. She can present such a wonderful performance, which makes the audience enjoy watching. By the way, she also remembers the opening ceremony of Liji Restaurant, which is really a great thing for the future business of Liji Restaurant.

On the stage, after the dancers bowed, the crowd demanded to dance again became louder and louder. The person in charge of Yaliyuan had to jump on the stage to tell everyone that the next show was as exciting, and they could not break the rules of Yaliyuan. It has to go on according to the scheduled program.

He also said that there are still many programs to be performed, and the time cannot be delayed. If the subsequent programs are delayed, it will not be completed.

In the end, the person in charge bowed his hands to everyone, and then the people who shouted to do it again stopped. The dancers standing on the stage also breathed a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and followed the person in charge to prepare to end.

As the dancers lightly moved their lotus steps to get off the stage, a man and a woman came up.

The age of the two is not very old, about thirteen or fourteen years old.The young man is a handsome young man, elegant and elegant; the young girl is exquisitely made up, truly beautiful.When the two stood on the stage, they were a pair of jade-like people.

However, they were all dressed in military uniforms, the young man was heroic, and the young woman was not inferior. Her jet-black hair was tied into a bun, and she didn't have any accessories except for a small silver comb inserted obliquely.

The most striking thing is that the sabers hanging around their waists are very exquisite, and there are more than one dazzling gemstones inlaid on them.Even the scabbard is so extraordinary, the sword in the sheath should also be of the highest quality.

This is supposed to be a swordsmanship show?

Yunxia turned to ask Mingguang.

Just now, Ming Guang saw the two men wearing military uniforms, and immediately guessed that they were going to perform sword dance, a performance art that combines sword skills and dance, combining strength and softness.

He was so dazed that if the two people standing on the stage were brother Julian and Yaohua, they should not be inferior to the pair in front of him; then he thought that if he and Yunxia were standing on the stage, the audience below would What's the reaction?
You must say that you are not good enough for Yunxia, ​​right?

Thinking of this, he reached out to touch the blindfold, lowered his right eyelid, and squeezed out a helpless smile on his lips.

Then he heard Yunxia ask him a question, Mingguang hurriedly looked up at Yunxia and said, "It's not swordplay, it's sword dance."

"Sword dance? The kind of sword dance that Aunt Gongsun dances?"

Yunxia opened her mouth and replied.

Mingguang nodded.

After a pause, he added: "I heard that Yaliyuan's sword dance is a masterpiece, and it's worth admiring."

This is the conclusion of the adoptive father after watching the performance of Ya Liyuan, and the adoptive father also said to him: "Hanger, among all the performances in Yaliyuan, the sword dance is the one that suits the adoptive father the most." Since the foster father admires it so much, this Sword dance must be good.

Then it is necessary for him to recommend it to Yunxia's mother and daughter.

"Mother, I'll see a live sword dance soon." Yunxia was excited all of a sudden, holding her mother's arm and yelling.

Yun Xianiang, who was being shaken by her daughter non-stop, laughed and said, "Look, you are so excited, your father is a general, and you have seen swords and swords a long time ago."

My mother couldn't understand Yunxia's inexplicable excitement.

Compared with the sword dance, Yun Xianiang prefers the dance just now. Not to mention the soft and beautiful dance, the dancer's dress can change from green to red in the blink of an eye, and finally shed a rain of petals, which really opened her eyes.

Can the sword dance be as good as this dance?Yun Xianiang was quite disapproving.

As everyone knows, Yunxia has memorized Du Fu's poem "Watching Gongsun Da Niang's Disciples Dance with Swords" by heart, and has always been fascinated by the dancing postures described in Du Fu's poem.Because of this poem, she fell in love with military uniforms, as the saying goes: Gongsun Xishan downstairs taught women to love military uniforms.Later, she volunteered to fill in the army college entrance examination, which was one of the small promotion factors.

How can she not be happy now that she can see the dance in the poems that she thought about when she was a child, and the dance performed by the ancients?
At this time, the teenagers and girls on the stage had already saluted the audience and were ready to start performing.

The two of them pulled out their daggers from the sword holsters around their waists, and the two clear buzzing sounds made the hall as quiet as no one's land again.

The two walked in unison, the sword in their hands was shining white, and they danced.

The dancing posture is as elegant as flowing clouds and flowing water, with cadence and setbacks, vigorous and free and easy.With the daggers in their hands swinging, spinning, and waving, there was a regular sound, which was actually very fascinating.

At this time, Yun Xianiang behaved like this, her eyes widened, she leaned forward, her hands lay on the window sill, she stared intently, for fear that she might miss a little bit.The indifference just now turned into a lot of concern.

A good dance, with softness in the rigidity, rigidity in the softness, the combination of beauty and boldness, brings a new experience.

Ya Liyuan must have thought that she was born in the army of the General's Mansion, so she specially prepared a sword dance, and she must visit the door to thank her some other day.

Yunxia mother and daughter had this kind of consensus in their hearts at the same time.

Ah, what a thrill!
Suddenly someone screamed in the lobby. It turned out that the sword in the boy's hand directly stabbed at the girl, but the girl fell back and flexibly avoided the point of the sword.

It is indeed thrilling, but also very exciting.

This is no longer a move that can be interpreted by ordinary dance. It is obvious that these two people have a foundation in swordsmanship, and their level is not low, so the posture of dancing swords is so in place.

The audience hadn't recovered from the previous thrills, yet another danger happened. The girl flew up in the air, and the sword slashed at the boy's hair. Seeing that he was about to cut it, the boy didn't rush, and held it in his hand. Lifting the short sword upwards, it deftly blocked the girl's short sword.

The young man raised his dagger high, and the blade was as frosty as snow, piercing straight into the sky. The girl spun and landed lightly, with the tip of the sword pointing at the ground.

Ming Guang said softly: "Hold the sword between heaven and earth, act benevolence and righteousness."

Yunxia stepped back, smiled brightly at Mingguang from behind her mother, and gave him a thumbs up.

Ming Guang returned her a smile, that bright smile condensed with passion and flying, made her feel that other things in front of her were eclipsed in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, her heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and she murmured in her heart: It is indeed called Mingguang, it is really like a bright light.

The applause in the lobby resounded like thunder again, and people's enthusiasm was like a rising tide of sea water, with waves higher and higher, almost submerging the lobby.

The performances of the teenagers and girls on the stage are still going on. They sometimes rotate, sometimes roll, sometimes jump, and sometimes prostrate... It perfectly confirms the poem that a dance of a sword moves the four directions. So many audiences who couldn't calm down at the scene just said this. The best commentary on the verse.

Speaking of that poem, Yunxia couldn't help but recite it aloud:
Huo Ruyi shot nine sunsets, like a group of emperors and dragons flying.

Come like a thunderbolt to receive anger, stop like a Jianghai condensing clear light.

As soon as the reading was finished, the performance on the stage was completed, and there was silence inside and outside the restaurant.

People have forgotten the other things, and they are still reminiscing about the sword dance just now.

After a while, the boy and the girl had already left the stage, and everyone started to applaud, and then the applause couldn't stop at all.

Now it was Yunxia who was so excited, she pulled Yunxia and asked why the sword made a sound?

Yunxia explained to her that there is a mechanism between the hilt and the body of the sword.

Yun Xianiang let out an oh, and then turned to ask Ming Guang, this sword dance was also created by Ya Liyuan herself?
"Auntie, this dance has been around for a long time, but Yaliyuan has taken this dance to a new level."

"I see. No wonder Xia'er was so excited just now. Just now I thought the dance performed by those dancers was the best. After watching this sword dance, I realized that it is completely better than the previous one."

Yunxia put her mother's arm in her arms and smiled: "Mother, we are from the General's Mansion, and under the subtle influence of my father, we naturally prefer this dance with swords."

"It seems so, hehehe." Yun Xianiang laughed.

Several people sent by Lord Guan also laughed out loud: Ya Liyuan's performance today was very eye-catching, and the re-opening ceremony of Liji Restaurant was also quite successful.

At the same time, among the crowd outside the restaurant, a handsome boy struggled to squeeze out.

He wiped the sweat off his brow, looked back with unsatisfactory eyes, and left reluctantly.

After turning several streets and turning into a narrow alley, the boy looked behind him to make sure that no one was following him before turning into the alley.Then he trotted around, and arrived at a yard with a low gate in the depths of the alley, which was slightly dilapidated, and reached out and slapped the door.

Soon the courtyard door was opened with a creak, a woman poked her head out to look, and pulled the boy in.

After closing the door, she shouted inside: "Zhong'er, Zhu'er is back."

As soon as the words fell, the chime bell was blown out of the room like a whirlwind, dragging the boy inside.

The woman followed the two children into the house, and said with a smile that chime bells were so anxious that they dragged your Zhuzhu cousin to the ground.

"Auntie, Zhong'er carried him in directly. Cousin Zhuzi helped me a lot." As he spoke, he really squatted down and let Zhuzi climb onto his back.

Now that my cousin said this, Zhu Zi is not polite.

Climbing onto the back of the chime, Zhu Zi enjoyed the pleasure of letting his cousin carry him, like a general returning from victory, laughing so hard that he could hardly see his eyes.

The woman couldn't help laughing when she saw it.

After entering the room, the chime put down the cousin, and began to ask about the opening of Liji Restaurant.

Zhu Zi told his cousin everything he saw in detail, gesticulating while talking, his little face flushed with excitement.

After finishing speaking, he took the chime bell's hand and said, "It's a pity that mother and cousin didn't go to see it. You will definitely like it if you go."

Chime was silent for a while, then stood up, followed by Zhuzi, patted his mouth and said: "Cousin, Zhuzi forgot again, you can't go to see it, and you still say such things, you should hit him."

"It's okay, my cousin doesn't blame you." Chime Bell reached out and patted Zhuzi's head.

Zhu Ziniang just came in with a water bowl and asked her son to drink some water. Just now she saw that the corners of his son's mouth were dry and cracked.She was still thinking as she walked, and she didn't know how many words the child had said, and she even said nothing.

At this time, Zhuzi was really parched, he yelled and yelled with everyone at Liji Restaurant, clapped his hands and cheered, and when he came back he was busy talking to his cousin, his mouth was almost running out of saliva.

Seeing the water bowl in his mother's hand, his eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over to take the water bowl, and poured it into his belly.

"Drink slowly, don't choke." Seeing her son drinking quickly and anxiously, Zhu Ziniang hurriedly reminded him.

After the big bowl of water was drunk by Zhu Zi, he wiped his mouth and felt refreshed.

Chime touched the head of the pillar and said, "Cousin, you have worked hard."

Zhu Zi hurriedly shook his head and said that he was not working hard.This was from his heart, if his cousin hadn't come to tell him that there was such excitement to watch, he wouldn't have known about it.In the end, the cousin even gave the money to the mother, saying that it was the hard work of asking him to help watch the excitement.

Since Zhuzi's father passed away, the silver brought by the cousin was the largest income of the mother and son.

Earn money and be able to watch the excitement, and my cousin only has two conditions, one is not to tell anyone that he invited himself to the opening ceremony of Liji Restaurant, and the other is to watch it well and tell him what he saw when he came back .

Zhuzi felt that it would not be difficult for him to complete this task, so he agreed in one gulp.

After he went there, he realized that this task was a very good job.He saw a lot of strange and interesting things. If his cousin hadn't asked him to come back earlier to report, he would definitely not come back until the end of the show.

Chime Bell talked to his aunt for a while, and then said that he was going back.

Aunt and Zhuzi left him to eat before leaving, thinking of the Sixth Young Master who was anxiously waiting for news in the mansion, Chime Bell resolutely shook his head and refused.

Seeing that this nephew could not be kept, Zhu Ziniang had no choice but to make an appointment with him to have dinner at another day, and after Chime Bell agreed, the mother and son reluctantly sent him to the gate of the courtyard.
