Concubine, please respect yourself

Chapter 14
After the five or six flower boats performed on the stage, some spectators stretched their necks to look up, and it was already the time of Riyu.

The willow branches on the east side of Sudi Lake carry the breeze, like swinging on the blue waves. In addition to the green and astringent smell of earth and mud, the air also has a pleasant fragrance of women.

After Miss Dan who danced in the Quehua Tower, several girls from Xiaozhou County came to the stage. Although the talents they exhibited were not top-notch, they each had their own uniqueness. Knock the sunflower skin and pour it carefully.

"Hey, I don't know what number ship is this lady betting on?" A very handsome young man in the banquet raised the cup that was placed in front of his desk, and sat beside him, looking like three days had passed. Xun's lord asked curiously.

"Look, I bought No. [-] Wanxianglou Chen lady." The man who was asked, first raised a glass to return the wine, then fumbled for a wooden sign from his arms, placed it on the table and called This young man looked over.

"Miss No. [-] flower boat has not yet appeared on the stage, how can you be so determined?" Young Master Qiao folded his sleeves and leaned towards the gentleman again, even more surprised.

The gentleman didn't answer in a hurry, he smiled and patted Young Master Qiao on the shoulder: "My dear brother, I don't know, there was a Huaniang who won the leader in the boat painting competition in Wanxiang Tower, this year I got the news that the winner of this competition Hua Niang's skills are even better, and she must have made a profit by investing some private money in this Wanxiang Tower. Brother, did you also buy the No. [-] ship?"

Hearing this, Mr. Qiao slapped the table and shook his head, sighing softly: "I am originally from Suzhou, and I bet on the local Fengxian Tower this year, but I don't know which lady is on the stage in this Fengxian Tower, but Make me anxious."

"I also dragged my friends on the road to help inquire about the Fengxian Tower, but I couldn't find anything useful. This Fengxian Tower is too strict with this flower girl, and I think it is just playing tricks." The speaking man pointed his finger He nodded his chin, shook his head twice, and clicked his tongue a few times.

"Then I'm not white."

"Oh, stop talking, it's time for Miss Chen from Wanxiang Building to take the stage."

"Bang" the gong sounded, and the boy who announced the curtain came to the stage first.

"No. [-] flower boat, Wanxianglou, Mrs. Chen" the young man reported the number, and many stallholders who bought the No. [-] flower boat shouted loudly.

There was a piece of tapestry spread out in Taichung, and the musician sat behind the tapestry holding a zither and plucking up a plain gown. When the strings of the zither were plucked, there was a sense of tension that made everyone's hearts tug at the audience.

Lady Wanxiang Louchen stepped onto the stage slowly, wearing a red veil skirt and wearing a bell on her bare feet, holding a long sword in her hand, turning lightly with her fingertips as thin as scallions, and the long sword held a flower in her hand, walking like green Yan nimblely whirls.The melody of the harpist is becoming more and more urgent, and the long sword in the hands of the Chen lady also has the posture of running thunder, cutting through the breeze as fast as lightning, and leaping frequently in lotus steps, her slender waist is not as bent as the gentleman's grasp, and she floats in the air. The skirt of her dress was spread out like a lotus flower, entwining people's hearts with every strand, and when it came to the end, Mrs. Chen jumped into the air again, with the cold light shining on the blade of her sword, and with a slash, it was a trick of an immortal to guide the way.

This Lady Chen's sword dance is imposing, but her body is hovering lightly like a bird. The combination of the two is extremely ingenious, and everyone in the audience is stunned.

After dancing, Mrs. Chen put away her sword and put it behind her back, and stepped forward to see the face of Mrs. Chen in Wanxianglou.

Although she is not a peerless beauty, she is also extremely charming, and holding a sword in her hand adds a little bit of heroism.

"Chen Niang has made a fool of herself." Chen Niang smiled, bowed to everyone in the audience, and got off the stage.

Everyone in the audience clapped their hands and applauded, and they were optimistic about Wanxianglou winning the championship.

"Master, I have never seen this sword dance in Beijing, and it really opened my eyes when I came to Suzhou this time." Fuyun's eyes were amazed, and he bowed his body and whispered beside his master.

"You're worthless!" Ying Su also thought that the sword dance danced by the lady Hua was very good, but this dance was just like a vase, it could only be regarded as a decoration.

Wanxianglou followed the No. [-] or [-] flower boats behind her, and when she saw that Chen Niang was applauded by everyone, she knew her weight in her heart, and it was difficult to compete for excellence, so she hurriedly went on stage and performed her own song, and Fang retreated again and again.

"I see, this year is the top of Wanxiang Tower again!" The Suzhou people who came to join the fun on the bank talked a lot after seeing the outstanding skills of Wanxiang Tower.

"Although the Fengxian Tower in Suzhou is not ordinary, I'm afraid it will have to be compared with the Wanxiang Tower in Yangzhou today!"

"Is this Fengxian Tower on stage?"

"It seems like it hasn't happened before, but won't it be an embarrassment when it comes to the stage?"

When Mrs. Chen had just danced the sword dance, Lu Ziyu picked up the Danfeng eyes and stood in front of the carved window in the cabin to watch for a while. , I have to decide today.

"No. [-] flower boat, Fengxian Tower in Suzhou" the gong rang, but there were endless noises from the people under the stage, and I couldn't hear what the young man said.

"Dang bang."

"Dang, dang."

The spectators under the stage heard a bell music, but they didn't know what musical instrument it was. They just cast their eyes on the stage, but they couldn't see anyone. Crisp and quite pleasant to the ear.

"Master, what kind of musical instrument is this?" Fuyun frowned and thought for a long time, and then asked his master if he couldn't think of it.

"Tambourine" Ying Su's face is indifferent, but his eyes are filled with interest, this tambourine is a musical instrument for the frontiers of the Western Regions, I didn't expect that the flower girl in Suzhou City can do this skill.

Few people in the audience knew the sound of this music, and they all poked their heads to find out what happened on the stage.

"Dangling" the sound of the tambourine came closer again.

Accompanied by the sound of tambourines, it seems that someone is singing a little song and coming gracefully: "There is a beautiful woman in southern Jiangsu, with red makeup and a shadow, who looks at the city of people, and then the country of people, as delicate as drunk, looking at the spring scenery , but I don’t know, the beacon fire in the north, and the horse’s hooves want to dance? Xiaoxiao’s remnant night, sleeping in the desolate Nianxiang Pavilion, where can the Wu hook be tempered, don’t call it a hero and just abandon the hill.”

The spectators in the audience could only hear that the woman's voice was like a bird's-eye, her voice was like a swallow, her voice was like a willow, and she was swaying in all kinds of styles, which made people feel heartbroken.

When he reached Taichung, Fang saw her face clearly, and he was filled with emotion: "Is this Xian'e?"

I saw this girl was wearing a plain fairy dress with wide sleeves, a net made of silk thread was wrapped around her waist, and a glass bead was placed in each grid. A little halo, as bright as dust.Her blue silk was bundled up and she wore a gold crown with tassels, half covering her jade face with hibiscus, her brows were like distant daisies, her phoenix eyes were raised, and the tails of her eyes were haloed with slanted red makeup.

Ying Su felt that this flower girl was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, and when he thought about it carefully, a penetrating coldness gradually appeared in his eyes. In the dream of two nights, the young lady of the Lu family, who treated her lightly, felt that she was making a fool of herself. She thought to herself: "This young lady of the Duke's mansion actually went to Hualouzi to be a lady. How many layers of fine powder did you laugh off your face?"

Fu Yun looked at her master's aura which was terrifying, and she didn't know what was going on in her mind, but right now she had to look at this charming woman on the stage again, if she flew away in a while, she wouldn't be able to see it, so why should she touch her master? Mildew.

But the more Fuyun looked at it, the more she felt strange, why did the lady Hua's eyes always drift towards her?
