Chapter 70: Performance

The painting boat rowed along the shore of the lake for a long time, and finally saw the second girl Yan and Mr. He, who were waiting there early on the shore, and the boat docked, and these two people came down with a group of families, and the boat was lively again.

The two people have met, Yan Er girl sat on the other side, Mr. He sat with her, slowly eating tea, there is a good scene outside the window, but the people in front of the window are not as beautiful, there is a glance to look at the box, occasionally chat with Yan Er girl A few words of "falling flowers and wind and rain hurt the spring more, it is better to pity the people in front of you", "Chasing joy for wine" and other poems, Yan Er girl is faint, but also replied with "There is affection and no intention and no discussion, Mo Xiang wine glass is easy to disperse" and other words.

It was boring to ask for a few times in the second girl Yan, Mr. He changed his goal, and the persimmon wanted to pick up the fat pinch, so it was her.

"Miss Seven's dress today is very beautiful, and the fly in the ointment is that there is a jade that is missing a pressed skirt," Mr. He was sharp-eyed, looking at Yan Qi who was sitting not far away and smiling, "With the fancy of this skirt, I have a begonia pendant there, green jade, and the color is also very matched." ”

"But you can't wear my dress. Yan Qi was a little embarrassed.

"-Poof!" A group of people in the boat looked up to the sky and spat out old blood.

Mr. He almost went crazy: Who wants your torn skirt when you step on a horse? Are you stupid?! Don't you understand the meaning of my words?

Mr. He froze in his seat in embarrassment, for fear that everyone would think that she was really looking for an excuse to think about Kiang's fat girl's torn skirt, but fortunately, everyone was a normal fetus, and there was no special reaction except for deep sympathy for Mr. He's plight.

Mr. He ended the chat with Yan Qi "one sentence killing" before he even stepped into the topic, closed his mouth stupidly, pinched the teacup and looked out of the window sadly at 45 degrees, and secretly complained about his sorrow in the wind.

On the lake outside the window, there are more and more boats of all sizes, among which the two large painting boats are the most eye-catching, on the big flag hung on the head of the boat, a red background gold thread embroidered with a big "embroidery" word, a water blue background silver thread embroidered with a big "moon" word, it is the big painting boat shared by the members of the music and art club of the Splendid Academy and the Jiyue Academy, and the two academies carry out the "Shangsi Competition" on the Guixu Lake every year during the Shangsi Festival It has become a tradition, with a history of nearly 100 years, and every year there will be a few girls who are amazing in the limelight, and since then they have soared into the sky, typical examples are the current queen and the concubine Min Guifei of the sixth palace, who won the championship in this event.

Many people spend a lot of money to hire a boat to tour the lake today, most of them are here to watch this event, what if there is a princess and princess here in the future?

So there was still some time before the start of the race, and the two boats were already surrounded by boats ready to watch the excitement.

"If we don't go over, we won't be able to grab a good place, right?" Wu Yue was a little worried, and whispered to Yan Qidao.

"It's okay. Yan Qi is not in a hurry.

Yuan Chang patted Yan Qi's chest on the side and said, "Don't worry, if there is no place, I will take you to 'fly' over and go directly to the boat of the Splendid Academy to see!" After speaking, he glanced at Cui Xi, and the expression on his face was clear: "Can I take her to pretend to be x and take her to fly, can you?"

Cui Xi wasn't annoyed at all, just looked at him with a smile, looked at Yuan Chang uncomfortable, and snorted and said goodbye.

The painting boat walked along the lake embankment for a while, and picked up a few children in the Yan family's room, and everyone agreed to go to cheer for the fifth girl Yan, and they all waited on the shore after setting the time.

The two boats of the Splendid Academy and the Jiyue Academy leaned side by side side together, fixed with thick iron chains, and the bow of the boat was set up with wooden planks, and a square, wide and spacious arena was built with a light car, covered with thick felt, decorated with colorful silk flowers, and lit up the dreamlike fragrance of Hua Wei Feng Zhu, the fragrance was charming and sweet, so that the audience had not seen the girls who were going to participate in the competition.

The surroundings of the two boats are now surrounded by three layers of water and three layers outside, and it is difficult for the boat behind to squeeze in, Wu Yue was about to ask Yan Qi what to do now, when he saw a big black flag suddenly unfurled on the bow pole of the boat, and the huge red grass on the flag only had the word "Yan" that almost wanted to go away.

For a while, the onlookers seemed to have been tricked by Sun Monkey, brushed the ground and parted to both sides, and when they boarded, they gave way to a smooth road leading to the competition boat.

"Wow-" Wu Yue was stunned, "It's amazing! How did they do it?"

Qiao Lezi said to himself, you didn't listen carefully, you listened carefully, and the people in the boat must be exclaiming, "Ya contempt butterfly snake spirit disease is coming, quickly dodge" and so on.

In fact, of course, this is not the reason, because of the big flag embroidered with the word swallow, it was specially given by the emperor himself! That word is still written by the emperor himself! Yan Zike has no lower limit to hang it on the bow of the boat, who dares not to avoid it? ! Among the onlookers, the boat of the official family members accounts for the majority, but no one in Beijing does not recognize this flag, and the boat of the official family members moves, and the onlookers who do not know the truth out of the herd mentality will not follow suit, Yan Zike's bag is not the effect that he wants! I don't know who it was to please me, could it be the girl surnamed He who was depressed by his little fat lady's words? Tsk, is this going to take a concubine again? This is the rhythm of forcing a single dog to death, is it too late to push him off the lake now?

A few children in the long room are excited and proud because of the situation in front of them, Mr. He closed his eyes and was full of admiration and admiration, you said that he was sassy or pretending to be 13, but too many women can't be immune, isn't it such a kind of vanity?

"If all this qiē he did was for me" - just thinking about it, I felt that the whole person had floated up to the sky.

What woman doesn't want to be pampered and pleasing by a man like this all the time?

From the cold garden of the deep palace to the fence, no one can understand the terrible taste of emptiness, loneliness and coldness better than Mr. He, she is still so young! so young, so beautiful, so talented, how can she just waste her youth like this? As long as she is given a chance, she can let him know how good she is, yes, she feels that she is really not bad, really suitable for him, really!

Mr. Ho's slender fingers clenched the cup tightly, she had missed too much, she didn't want to waste any more opportunities!

The painting boat rowed towards the race boat in front, and the children all came to the window to look at the race boat and discuss, Mr. He got up, walked over gracefully, and then stood behind Yan Qi.

Yan Qi was also being pulled by Wu Yue to stand by the window and look out, the two of them tried to see through the Lu Lotus in the boat, Yan Zike was standing on the other side of Yan Qi, as if he was looking through the location of his daughter.

"Do you see Ni Dress?" Mr. He asked Yan Qi with a chuckle. Ni Shang is the character of Yan Wu girl.

Yan Qi shook his head, and Mr. He took two steps forward, and Yan Qi moved a position to the side for her to stand and watch.

"I'll look at her—ah!" Mr. He leaned out, his feet slipped, and the whole person suddenly rolled out of the window and fell down, waving his hands to grab Yan Zike's clothes accurately, but of course this could not stop the momentum of her fall, at best, Yan Zike fell into the lake.

In the late spring of March, the light shirt was thin, fell into the water, and the clothes were close-fitting, which was no different from not wearing it.

He couldn't help her.

With such a hug and contact, how can she get married?

Could he bear to let her cut herself off to keep her innocence, or to become a monk for the rest of her life? She is his daughter's master!

With so many people watching the lake, they didn't believe that he could be so ruthless and unrighteous.

As for whether the wet appearance will be seen by the onlookers, she doesn't care, anyway, when she dances to the emperor's ministers in the palace, she even wears a translucent light veil, in order to marry a lover, this loss will be swallowed first!

Mr. Ho grabbed the man's sleeve and swore that he would not let go.

All kinds of thoughts were in an instant, and Mr. He fell into the air for only a second, when the momentum of the sudden fall stopped, and he raised his eyes in surprise and looked up, and saw that the long silk tied around his waist was being firmly pulled by a small fat hand sticking out of the window.

"Mr. He was too careless. A chubby face poked out of the window, unfazed, unhurried, and condescendingly watching her talk.

Mr. He's mind was in turmoil: What's the matter? How could this little fat man have such strength to catch her in mid-air? This is unreasonable!

Mr. Ho was slowly lifted up by the belt like a sack, and the people on the ships around him did witness her romantic plan, but they did not witness a romantic outcome, and everyone only saw her ugly appearance like a silk ghost (a kind of meat worm born on the locust tree that would draw a wire and hang in the air), and she even heard a lot of laughter from the boat.

Mr. He sat down softly with his feet touching the ground, and raised his eyes to look at the annoying Yan Family's seventh lady who had ruined a qiē, and her hand that was holding her belt was pinched by Yan Zike at the moment, and she looked at it twice, blew it, and then let go, walked back to her seat, and continued to drink his tea as if nothing had happened.

Of course, Yan Qi didn't have so much strength to pull an adult who fell from the air, she just reacted faster, reacted quickly, had accurate eyesight, and grabbed Mr. He's tapestry, and Wu Yue next to her was not slow to react, and directly hugged Yan Qi's waist in case she was taken down by Mr. He, if these two people were not enough, there was Yuan Chang next to her, and after taking the tapestry in Yan Qi's hand, he dragged Mr. He up.

"Be careful, don't get too close to the window. Wu Yue taught Mr. He like a child.

Mr. He was very embarrassed, his face was blue and red for a while, and he was sent to the compartment separated by a screen on the painting boat with the support of several girls ordered by Miss Yan Er to rest.

The beauty is ugly, it is really worthy of sympathy, Qiao Lezi shook his head, glanced at the goods sitting opposite him, the goods picked up Erlang's legs and ate pine nuts while drinking tea, the mood was inexplicably good, there was no public morality, don't you like wine and food the most, beautiful beauties and beautiful boys? Beauty is ugly, shouldn't you take the opportunity to comfort and appease and then enrich your backyard by the way? What are you happy about? You have the ability to not be a beauty, why don't you have the ability to introduce one to Lao Tzu? !

The attempted landing on the lake was soon uncovered by a drum on the boat, and there was a roar of cheers from the onlookers, whistles, shouts, and applause spread over the blue waves, and the radical waves were thousands of waves, flashing with the light of the bright sun, opening the curtain of a prosperous performance.

Another drum beat made the scene suddenly quiet down, and all eyes gathered on the competition platform built on the bow of the two painting boats, the competition stage was empty, only the colorful silk yarn swayed in the wind, and then there was a drum sound from sparse to sick, faster and heavier, driving the crowd to follow the tighter and tighter and higher higher, until a drumbeat that was so fast that it was suffocating, and suddenly stopped, and a wisp of piano sound sounded in the silence, like the sound of heaven floating down, clear, long, lonely, and ethereal.

The sound of the piano came from the painting boat of the Splendid Academy, and the competition began! The onlookers who reacted sighed in an uproar, and no one applauded, fearing that the sound of heaven would be disturbed, and they sat or stood one by one, or in the cabin or on the bow of the ship.

It wasn't until the end of the song that a thunderous cheer and applause erupted all around, and a woman in a lake-green dress walked out of the painting boat of the Splendid Academy, bowing slightly to the painting boat of Jiyue Academy, with an unconcealable pride on her face.

"Qin Miaoyu!" Wu Yue pointed and shouted.

Qin Miaoyu is Mr. Qin, the beautiful gentleman who taught them music and art classes.

The song was actually played by her, probably out of courtesy, and the instructors of both sides first performed to show their sincerity, so the gentleman of the Jiyue Academy came on the field, holding the pipa, and someone was responsible for putting an embroidery pier in the center of the competition platform, and the gentleman sat on the embroidery pier and played it gently.

Wu Yue didn't have much time to watch the performance of Jiyue Academy, and whispered to Yan Qi to the side: "Xiao Lotus said that she participated in the group performance, and I don't know when she will be able to appear, what about your fifth sister? Remember that she is dancing?"

"Well, she's in a solo competition. "Yan Qidao.

"So powerful!" Wu Yue was stunned and looked at Yan Zike's direction, "Your uncle is really good, in order to cheer up his daughter, he got such a big painting boat, and let all the boats make way for this boat, if your fifth sister sees it, how proud she will be!"

"Aang. Yan Qi also looked at him, sitting in the spring light with a landscape in his face, his face full of pure and sultry.

Since this competition is only limited to between the two academies, it is not an officially recognized official competition, so there is no authoritative professional judge responsible for evaluation, and the choice is in the hands of the masses.

This orchid is not the kind that is picked from the ground casually, it is a fake orchid piled up by the students of the two school organizations of the Women's Red Society with the technique of stacking yarn, and the audience who wants to vote needs to go to the boat that sells this flower to buy it, one tael of silver, and all the silver taels obtained from the sale of the flowers will be handed over to the charity hall for charity relief.

Therefore, everyone does not feel wronged when they spend this money, and they can be entertained while doing charity, so why not?

The process of the student competition between the two sides is that a group of singers will face off first, then a group of instrumental players, then a group of dancers, and then a group of dancers.

So first by a group of singers on the field, the sweet and soft and beautiful girl's singing heard the audience fascinated, the singing stopped and saw all kinds of yarn orchids like a rain of flowers have been thrown to both sides of the boat, such a judgment method is not fair to study in detail, but no matter what kind of competition always has its inevitability and chance, too much is meaningless, this is not a serious competition, in the eyes of the students, this is a battle of dignity between rivals that cannot be defeated, but where do the innocent and enthusiastic children know, the glory and dignity they value and believe in, in the eyes of adults is not worth mentioning。

The leaders of the two academies tacitly regarded this activity as a means to expand the influence of the university, they cared about the source of students, prestige, fame and money that followed, and as for who won and who lost between the old enemies, who lost dignity, who won the honor, who cared about you.
