Daughter of aristocratic family

Chapter 400 Dance
Zhu Siyun exchanged a few pleasantries with Zhao Wangshu, and then another guest arrived, so she smiled and said, "Madam Yun, I'm sorry to leave you."

"Mrs. Song, please do as you please." Zhao Wangshu said with a faint smile.

After Zhu Siyun left, Zhao Wangshu looked around and found that Zhu Siyun had invited quite a lot of people, including the noble ladies from the capital and many wives of officials in the court.

They gathered in twos and threes, some whispering, some talking and laughing loudly. It seemed harmonious, but in fact there was an undercurrent. Everyone was looking at each other calmly, and there was temptation in their words.

"Wangshu." Yao Shanzhi came over and sat down on the chair next to her. "I thought you wouldn't come."

Zhao Wangshu smiled and said, "Mrs. Song personally sent someone to deliver the invitation. If I don't come, wouldn't that be an insult to her?"

Yao Shanzhi raised her eyebrows and changed the subject, "By the way, the good date for Wang Xiu Niang and Li the Peddler has been decided."

"When?" Zhao Wangshu used the lid to stir the floating tea in the cup, "Let's go to the wedding to have a drink then."

"On the tenth of this month." Yao Shanzhi took out a handful of melon seeds from her purse and handed them to Zhao Wangshu, "I'm going to give her a silver ruyi."

Zhao Wangshu took the melon seeds and said, "Then I will give her a pair of Hehe Erxian silver cakes."

The two chatted for a while, and Zhu Siyun welcomed the guests in. She sat down at the main seat and said with a smile, "I invited all the ladies here today because I thought it would be a nice thing for everyone to get together to enjoy the flowers and drink tea since it is spring now."

"Mrs. Song is right. March is a great time to enjoy flowers." A young woman in a light green dress agreed.

"I heard that the garden at Mrs. Song's mansion is one of the best in the capital. I also heard that they specially invited craftsmen from Jiangnan to decorate it. It is really beautiful." Another young woman complimented.

Yao Shanzhi glanced at her. The garden of the Song Mansion was just an ordinary garden of an official's family. How could she boast about it being one of the best?

But Zhu Siyun was in a good mood after being praised, and the smile on his face became even brighter. "It's just a casual thing, not worth mentioning."

"Mrs. Song is too modest." The young woman in the light green dress smiled.

As everyone was chatting and laughing, Zhu Siyun ordered the maids to bring a variety of snacks and tea. As everyone savored the snacks and drank the tea, the atmosphere became more harmonious.

Zhao Wangshu and Yao Shanzhi seemed not to hear what they said. They concentrated on cracking melon seeds, and occasionally they lowered their heads to whisper a few words.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting lively, Zhu Siyun slightly tilted her head to signal the maid next to her. The maid understood and walked to the small pavilion next to her. She cleared her throat and said, "I have a moment of leisure in this busy life, and the shadows of flowers sway in the green lake. Ladies, please wait and enjoy your tea. Listen to the little surprise that our Song Mansion has prepared for you ladies."

As the maid's voice fell, a sound of stringed instruments suddenly rang out, soft and ethereal, like the sound of nature.

Everyone couldn't help but put down the teacups in their hands and looked up. They saw a group of girls in pink gauze skirts walking out from among the flowers and trees in all directions. They each held a colorful flower basket in their hands, and the baskets were filled with colorful petals.

As the sounds of stringed instruments became more and more intense, the girls began to dance gracefully. Their figures were light and graceful, like elves among flowers, which was a feast for the eyes.

The petals fluttered down as they danced.

For a moment, the whole garden seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​flowers, filled with fragrance, making people feel relaxed and happy.

"How beautiful!" a noble lady exclaimed.

"Mrs. Song is such a refined person," another person praised.

“It’s not just about elegance, it’s also about ingenuity.”

Everyone nodded, expressing their appreciation for Mrs. Song's efforts and creativity. Zhu Siyun accepted everyone's praise with a smile, his eyes full of pride.

She is the granddaughter of the Prime Minister, but she failed to marry into a high-ranking family. Now that she has finally returned to the capital, she naturally wants to show herself off.

Let all the noble ladies in the capital know that Zhu Siyun is back and she is still the best among the noble ladies in the capital.

At this time, the music changed from melodious to high-pitched, and the girls in pink gauze skirts also changed their dance posture. They spun and jumped, like blooming flowers swaying in the wind.

The petals fell like rain, and the whole garden seemed to be dyed with a light pink.

The petals fluttered in the air and then fell gently, like a dream scene, making people feel as if they were in a fairyland.

Just then, a young girl walked out from the flowers. She was wearing the brightest pink gauze dress and holding a particularly large basket in her hands. The basket was filled with colorful petals.

She pulled the ribbon hanging from the side of the pavilion and leaped to the top of the pavilion. She raised the flower basket high and swung it vigorously, and the petals in the basket poured down like a colorful waterfall.

"It's so beautiful, like flowers scattered by a fairy from heaven." exclaimed a noble lady.

The ladies were all shocked by the beautiful scenery before them, and they all looked up at the girl on the top of the pavilion.

The girl was spinning lightly on the top of the pavilion, her skirt fluttering in the wind like a blooming pink flower.

Petals continued to pour out from the flower basket, fluttering and spinning in the air, and falling gently to the ground.

As the petals gradually fell, the music slowly died down. The girl on the top of the pavilion came down from the top of the pavilion with the help of a ribbon and retreated with the other girls.

"It's so beautiful!".

"Mrs. Song, thank you for letting us enjoy such a wonderful dance."

Zhu Siyun smiled and said, "As long as everyone likes it, I prepared this dance specially for today's banquet. I am satisfied that the ladies like it."

Her face was filled with a smile of satisfaction and joy, as if all the hard work and preparation had paid off.

This banquet was of great significance to her. It not only showed her elegance as Mrs. Song, but also was an important occasion for her to consolidate her family status and make friends with the powerful.

"Mrs. Song is truly multi-talented. Not only does she come from a prominent family, she is also so proficient in music and dance. It's really admirable." A noble lady exclaimed.

"Yes, I really envy Mrs. Song." Another lady also echoed.

Zhu Siyun shook his head modestly and said, "No, no, you ladies are too kind. I just like to play with these in my spare time. Compared with the virtues of you ladies, I am still far behind."

Her words were full of humility and respect, which made the ladies present feel very comfortable.

Zhao Wangshu and Yao Shanzhi looked at each other. Zhu Siyun became more hypocritical after getting married.

Zhu Siyun not only had people rehearse this dance, but when the music started again, a group of dancers in colorful clothes came in from all directions, holding flower sticks.

The previous dance of scattering flowers by the goddess showed gentleness, while this dance shows strength.

The dancers' movements were in unison and their dance moves were graceful and moving. Every turn and every jump was full of power and rhythm.
