Chapter 393
In order to celebrate his son's birthday, Xiao Nan cooks himself and directs the cook to make a soup cake for Chang Sheng.

The taste of the soup cakes is excellent. The soup is the mutton broth that was stewed last night. The flour for making the soup cakes is ground from the high-quality wheat produced in Taoyuan. The vegetables are cut into thin shreds, and then neatly stacked in a small and exquisite white porcelain sunflower-shaped bowl. The small freshness reveals a strong mutton fragrance, not to mention how attractive it is.

Little Changsheng was very happy to see him. Holding his special mini tableware for children, he happily ate two small bowls. Only his little belly was bulging, and he lay on the lichen with his arms and legs stretched out, unable to move. His little face was full of satisfaction.

The little guy ate to his heart's content, even Xiao Nan and Lingxi had an appetite, and ate an extra bowl than usual.

After lunch, Xiao Nan held his stomach and coaxed the two children to take a nap. Today is the first day of the first lunar month, and it is very lively outside. They are still in the courtyard of a deep house, and they can vaguely hear the sound of drumming and frolicking.

Lingxi and Changsheng were originally children's minds. Hearing the excitement outside, grass grew in their hearts. They couldn't sleep at ease. Qiqi opened similar big eyes and looked at his mother with a little expectation.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan raised the corners of his lips slightly, reached out and rubbed his son's bulging bun face, "Changsheng also wants to go out and have a look?"

Changsheng nodded vigorously at first, then shook his head with difficulty as if thinking of something, and said in a wrong way: "No, I don't want to, I, I want to accompany A Niang and Adi!"

Xiao Nan saw that his son's small face was wrinkled into bun folds, the way he wanted to go but had to deny it in order to show his cuteness was so cute.

On the spur of the moment, her naughty son said, "Changsheng really doesn't want to go? I heard that many people are dancing the Nuo dance outside, and there are actors performing a variety of operas and acrobatics. It's very lively."

Chang Sheng pouted his small red mouth, his eyes were full of entanglement and hesitation, his little fingers twisted and twisted, after a long time, he pursed his mouth, and said pitifully: "I really don't want to go, I'm staying at home with A Niang and A Di. "

Seeing that his son was about to cry, Xiao Nan couldn't help feeling a little guilty, he quickly reached out and patted his son's head, and said softly: "My Changsheng is so good, okay, let's not go anywhere, just play at home, OK?"

"Yeah." Sniffing, Changsheng rubbed his mother's arms, smelling the familiar fragrance, and gradually fell asleep.

It was just that the sound of passionate drums kept echoing in his ears, and in a trance, he vaguely dreamed that he was wearing a mask, wearing a purple robe, a golden belt around his waist, holding a whip, and dancing majesticly.

"Xiao Dalang, Xiao Dalang, are you awake?!"

The nurse saw that her little master had her eyes closed, but her chubby hands were waving vigorously, and her two little feet were also tapping rhythmically. She thought that Changsheng had woken up, so she hurried to the side and called out in a low voice.

Chang Sheng opened his eyes and stared fixedly at the curtain above his head. After a while, he sat up with a bang, looked left and right, and then looked down at his clothes. Only then did he lower his head in disappointment, and murmured a sigh: "It really is a dream, alas~~"

Woohoo, he really wants to watch the Nuo dance. I heard Grandma Feng said that there will be a grand Nuo dance every year in the palace on New Year's Day (the first day of the first lunar month in ancient New Year's Day). Thousands of people will participate. Everyone Wearing uniform costumes, dancing in the same step, drums and music, the momentum is shocking, not to mention how lively it is.

In the past, he was in Luoyang with his parents, so he couldn't go to the palace to attend the banquet. He was four years old, and he had never seen the royal Nuo dance with his own eyes.

The two little uncles are only a few months older than him, and they have both seen it several times.

Woohoo, I thought that when I returned to the capital this year, he would finally be able to go to the palace with A-Niang to watch a play, but, as a result, A-Niang had a younger brother, so she couldn't move around, let alone enter the palace... Woohoo, he, he really I really want to see the 'Lanling King' that my uncle said...

The little guy lowered his head and thought very sadly, his ears drooped down, and he exuded this aura called "sorrowful mulberry" all over his body.

He only cared about his grievances, and he didn't realize that his relatives, A Niang and Sister, were not there.

"Xiao Dalang, hurry up and change your clothes, the lady and the little aunt are waiting for you outside."

The wet nurse was very distressed when she saw the young master's listless appearance. She hurriedly took out a new set of clothes and said softly to Changsheng.

With his little mouth shrunken, Chang Sheng put aside the depression in his heart for a while, he quickly crawled out of the bed, stood on the kang, stretched his two little arms, and let the nurse help him dress.

The nurse shook off a newly made robe, and gently helped Chang Sheng change into it.

"Huh?" Changsheng caught a glimpse of the color of the clothes from the corner of his eyes, and was stunned for a moment, then quickly lowered his head and carefully looked at the new robes on his body, "This, isn't this the clothes I wore this morning?"

The little guy is not color-blind, nor does he have amnesia, so he naturally remembers that he was wearing a new red dress embroidered with gold thread in the morning, but at this moment, the nurse is wearing a purple long-sleeved robe for him, and look at the tattoo on the dress. It is extremely gorgeous, and it doesn't seem to be used for daily wear. Instead, it looks a bit like a dress for dancing.

The nurse was holding a golden belt and was about to fasten it on Changsheng. When she heard this, she smiled and said: "Yes, this is what the lady specially ordered the servants to prepare for Xiao Dalang."

While talking, he fastened his belt.

After changing his clothes, the wet nurse hugged Changsheng and sat on the kang, and bent down to put on black leather boots for him.

After putting on his shoes, Changsheng didn't let his nurse hug him, turned over quickly and climbed off the kang, and trotted to the outside.

When he came to the hall, the little guy found that A Niang and A Sister were not here, he looked around suspiciously, there were only a few little maids in the big hall, and he didn't recognize any of them.

Pursing his mouth, Chang Sheng ran to the inner study room on the east side, but there was still no sign of A Niang.

Where did Auntie and Auntie go? !

Changsheng was about to raise his voice to call, when he suddenly heard a burst of drum music, and the sound became louder and louder, as if it was not far away.

"Xiao Dalang, why are you still here? Come on, let's go to the atrium quickly, the lady has already urged you."

The nurse picked up Changsheng from behind, and hurried out while talking.

Changsheng raised his head, "Nurse, why are you going to the atrium? Auntie and sister are there?"

The wet nurse smiled and said, "I don't know why the lady called you to the courtyard, but since it was the lady's order, there must be a reason, so let's hurry over there."

Along the veranda, the wet nurse walked quickly to the atrium with Changsheng in her arms.

Before entering the gate of the atrium, there was a burst of loud drum music intermittently.

Xiao Changsheng was even more puzzled, his little fingers were twirling around, but he still couldn't figure out why there was drum music in the house.

Is A Niang going to order people to dance the Nuo dance in the courtyard? !Or did A Niang invite the Nuo dancers into the house?

is it possible?

It should be possible, today is his birthday, A Niang promised to give him a surprise.

The little guy became more and more excited as he thought about it, his little face burst into a kind of excited red light, he couldn't bear it anymore, he really wanted to fly to the atrium immediately to reveal this surprise directly.

Changsheng's little heart was beating violently. In his anticipation, the wet nurse finally entered the courtyard with him in his arms.

As soon as he entered the door, the wet nurse put him down, and before he could run in, a servant girl came up and gave him a small Wujin horsewhip.

Changsheng was a little puzzled, but this did not hinder his steps. He moved his short legs, stepped over the threshold, and looked around with his big eyes.

Sure enough, in the huge courtyard, there were dozens of young men dressed in soap-colored cloth clothes and trousers and red square scarves on their heads. They wore masks and held hemp whips in their hands. A row, neatly lined up.

Around the courtyard, there are more than a dozen musicians, some playing the big drum, some holding the small drum, some playing the harp, some playing the gong... They are not playing formally, but are just testing the sound.

That's why the sound coming out is intermittent and faint.

And under the verandah in front of the main hall, there was a row of relatives sitting upright, the old man, Prince Xiao, Cui Yanbo, Xiao Bo, and several female relatives.

Seeing Changsheng, he became more certain of his guess: Aww, he is so happy, A Niang actually invited so many people to dance for him, and specially invited the parents of Cui and Xiao to watch.

The big noodles in the Tang Dynasty are a kind of song and dance drama, but with some storylines added.The most famous face dance at that time was "Lanling King", which is also the song of the Lanling King entering the battle. It originated from the Northern Qi Dynasty and was passed down to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was popular in the palace and then spread to the people.

"Changsheng, come quickly, it's your turn to fight!"

Holding a wooden mask in his hand, Xiao Nan came to his son, put the mask on his little face, and said softly: "Put on this mask, my family will no longer be a child, It's the brave and invincible King of Lanling."

what?
A Niang asked him to play the role of Lanling King himself, and dance with those 24 young men? !

In front of the two parents? !

Changsheng was even more excited, he looked at A Niang through the two small holes in the mask, as if he wanted to confirm again.

Xiao Nan looked at her son softly, and nodded slowly, expressing that her son guessed right, she just wanted him to be a "fancier".

Changsheng nodded vigorously, and said in a soft and soft childish voice: "Don't worry, Auntie, I, I will definitely fight the enemy and defend my homeland like King Lanling!"

As he said that, the little guy waved the whip in his hand vigorously, made a chopping movement, and then, under Xiao Nan's gaze, walked step by step to the center of the courtyard, and stood still in front of 24 young men.

He first bowed to the relatives under the corridor and saluted, then turned around firmly, and the musicians around got the cue and started to play music.

Amidst bursts of passionate drums, Changsheng followed the dance steps told to him by Grandma Feng and his little uncle very seriously, and vigorously waved the whip in his hand, just like the King Lanling who fought hard to rescue Luoyang and won the great victory in Mangshan, Incomparably brave sprint and fight.

After dancing to the song, Changsheng stood on the spot, bowed deeply to Xiao Nan, and said in a loud voice: "I will remember what A Niang taught today, and I will work harder in the future to keep the reputation of the Cui family..."
