44. Cramming
Ji Cheng's heart is actually not too determined, she is naturally very curious, so she quietly climbed up from behind the rockery, there is a half-moon hole on the top of the rockery, there is a pool of water in the belly of the cave under the cave, and it can be cast into the pool water from the half-moon hole in the middle of the moon in the middle of the day, which can be regarded as a chic small scene.
And at this moment, the small hole just allowed Ji Cheng to vaguely see what Shen Cui in the belly of the rockery was doing. Ji Cheng listened carefully for a while, and then realized that Shen Cui was practicing singing.
Shen Cui's voice is bright with a hint of natural hoarseness, and she doesn't feel very special when she speaks, but listening to her singing at the moment has a little extra flavor, she didn't feel good when she first heard it, but after listening to it, she felt that the aftertaste was long, and it was no wonder that she chose to sing songs.
However, Ji Cheng shook his head secretly, Shen Cui sang in the belly of the mountain, the effect was much worse, although Ji Cheng didn't understand any echo, reverberation and the like, but he knew that singing in the belly of the mountain was different from the effect on the platform.
And Shen Cui in addition to his good voice, whether it is lyrics or songs, in Ji Cheng's opinion, they are very ordinary, and they can only be regarded as ordinary.
Not to mention others, even the dance rehearsed by Su Yun is much better than Shen Cui.
For Ji Cheng, whether it is Shen Cuiying or Su Yunying in this Zhongtan art selection, it has nothing to do with her, but for people who have been looking for opportunities, there may be opportunities hidden behind everything.
Ji Cheng stroked the hair hanging down his ears back and forth, and quickly made up his mind.
On this day, Shen Cui had just come out of the rockery after practicing his throat, and he saw Ji Cheng tiptoeing around in the woods and didn't know what he was doing. She was curious, and gently walked to Ji Cheng's side and patted her shoulder.
Ji Cheng was so frightened that he almost didn't scream, and when he looked back, he saw that it was Shen Cui, and then he said softly: "Fifth sister, why are you?" ”
"What are you doing?" Shen Cui asked.
Ji Cheng made a silent gesture towards Shen Cui, lowered his voice and said, "I just saw Sister Yun and Sister Qian quietly go out and follow them." ”
Shen Cui and Ji Cheng looked at each other the same, and they knew that the two of them wanted to go together.
Shen Cui didn't speak anymore, poked half of his head out of Ji Cheng's shoulder, and stared at the forest. It's just that this forest is dense, except for the occasional corner of clothes, I can't see the whole picture at all, and naturally I don't know what Su Yun is arranged.
"I can't see anything, I don't look at it." Shen Cui stood for a long time, his legs were sore, so he began to lose his temper.
Ji Cheng stood on tiptoe and looked around, then covered his mouth with his hand and said something in Shen Cui's ear, and Shen Cui immediately nodded.
It turned out that the forest was not far from the Yugou Thatched Cottage in Jingyuan, although it was called the Thatched Cottage, but it was actually covered with tiles, and after a while, there were servants who went to check the roof tiles to prevent rain leakage. Shen Cui turned around and instructed the girl to carry out the long ladder they used to check it.
Ji Cheng and Shen Cui cautiously climbed up the long ladder to the roof of the Yugou Thatched Cottage, and now their vision was much wider, and they could see the whole picture from a high vantage point.
After watching it for a while, Shen Cui, who was still chattering, had fallen into silence, and his eyes stared at Su Yun in the distance without turning away.
To be honest, Su Yun definitely came prepared this time. The two white exercises in her hands were thrown by her like a dragon swimming in the clouds, shuttling freely as if they were alive. At the best, she even danced a ball shadow to wrap her whole body, which is not something that can be practiced in a month or two.
When she came down from the roof and returned to the yard where she lived, Shen Cui didn't speak all the way, and she didn't practice her voice the next day, so she was locked in the house and no one was seen.
Ji Lan hadn't noticed Shen Cui's abnormality yet, but she heard Ji Cheng say, "Auntie, hasn't the fifth sister gotten up yet?" What's wrong with her? ”
Ji Lan asked in surprise, "Hasn't your fifth sister gotten up yet?" Ji Lan originally thought that she had gone to the old lady's house.
Ji Cheng shook his head.
Ji Lan went to look for Shen Cui in a hurry, Shen Cui was really still sleeping with the quilt covered, and when she heard Ji Lan call her, she kicked her legs impatiently.
"What's wrong with you? But what's uncomfortable? Ji Lan reached out and touched Shen Cui's forehead, "You don't have a fever, what's wrong with you?" The sun is all on your ass, and you still haven't gotten up? ”
"Leave me alone." Shen Cui said sullenly.
"What's going on? Who messed with you again? Ji Lan thought to herself, her daughter is really good at everything, but sometimes she is too stingy and easy to get angry at every turn.
Shen Cui sat up with the quilt in his arms, "No one messed with me, I don't want to participate in the Zhongtan art selection, it's a shame to go anyway." ”
Ji Lan chuckled in her heart, "Why is this?" What's wrong? ”
Shen Cui bowed her head and was silent, and was anxious to be asked by Ji Lan, so she told Ji Lan about her peeking at Su Yun dancing.
"What's this, it's worth your anger to get out of bed?" Gilland.
"Mother, what do you mean by that?" Shen Cui was anxious, "Even you think I shouldn't be able to win against them, do you?" ”
In fact, Shen Cui is also a little pitiful, she has grown up in the shadows of her sisters since she was a child, and she is always the least outstanding. Now that Ji Cheng and Su Yun are here again, she is still the most eye-catching.
Shen Cui wanted to make everyone's eyes light up in the Zhongtan art selection, so that they would know that there was a fifth girl in the Shen family, but unfortunately he misestimated his strength and was hit hard by Su Yun.
But Shen Cui always thought that his mother must support and affirm himself, but he didn't know that Ji Lan was talking like this, obviously he didn't take the matter of Zhongtan's art selection seriously.
Ji Lan hurriedly patted the back of Shen Cui's hand, "I didn't mean that, but how can Su Yun compare with you?" The Su family has long since declined, and now it is just an empty shelf, so she naturally has to prepare carefully for the middle altar selection, but why do our sisters have to work so hard, whatever you want, you will find a way to satisfy you. ”
In fact, Ji Lan is also for Shen Cui's good, how much effort and hardship she used to put into getting married! Now where is Ji Lan willing to endure hardships for Shen Cui, she just needs to wait for her to plan for her with peace of mind, and when Ji Cheng enters the palace in the future, her master's official position will be promoted again, and Shen Cui's family affairs are not just picked?
But the little girl wouldn't think like this, and Shen Cui was a strong character, so she couldn't stand living in the shadows all day long. "No, I just want to win her, and I want to win Wang Yueniang, mother, you don't know the way Wang Yueniang looks at me, I hate her to death. I must win this kind of Zhongtan art selection! ”
There are few parents in this world who can resist their children, and Ji Lan loves Shen Cui again, so she has to accept her to think of a way.
Ji Lan found Ji Cheng and asked, "Have you and Ah Cui seen Su Yatou's dance together?" ”
Ji Cheng nodded.
"Ah Cui said vigorously that Su Yatou's dancing is so good, I can't compare with her, what do you think?" Ji Lan asked again.
"I look at Sister Yun's dancing skills, and I can't practice it without five or six years of kung fu." Ji Cheng said, she didn't know whether it was good or bad, but Ji Lan would definitely be able to understand it.
In fact, Ji Cheng didn't understand, since Shen Cui was going to participate in the Zhongtan art selection, why didn't he start preparing a few years earlier? It's almost too late to prepare. Where did she know Ji Lan's thoughts, and never urged Shen Cui to prepare, Shen Cui himself slacked off, and when it was time to speak, Shen Cui began to hold his eyebrows and feet again, how can this work.
"Do you have a way to help Ah Cui?" Ji Lan asked tentatively, in fact, she didn't have any expectations for Ji Cheng, after all, even she didn't have any way to do it herself, her daughter knew by herself, Shen Cui had a few catties and a few taels Ji Lan still knew.
Ji Cheng lowered his eyes and thought for a while, "Now it's too close to twenty-six, it's too late to practice, if the fifth sister can enter the middle altar to select art, I still have some ways to perform on the day of the official debut." ”
Ji Lan's eyes lit up, she was originally worried that even if she wanted to let Shen Cui get the qualification for the Zhongtan art selection, but as soon as she came on stage, she would show up, and that would be a big shame.
"What do you do?" Gilland.
Before this, Ji Cheng had carefully inquired about the specific situation of the previous Zhongtan performances from Shen Qian and Shen Wei. Since it is a performance, it is natural to hope to highlight yourself so that others can know your ability, so there are many cases of solo stage.
In Ji Cheng's opinion, if she came to organize the selection of Zhongtan, she would not choose these daughters who were not very ornamental. For example, when the Royal Polo team was in the middle of the field that day, the dance of the palace dancer was very good, which not only mobilized the atmosphere, but also basically watched it from so far away from the stands.
The venue of the polo match is very large, and a person is alone in the middle altar, unless she is a sharp-eyed person, who can see who she is?
According to Ji Cheng's meaning, Shen Cui herself is not too outstanding, but she found a group of green leaves to set off and choreographed the dance better, which not only attracted people's attention but also promoted her strengths and avoided her weaknesses.
Ji Lan listened to Ji Chengyi's analysis and couldn't help but nodded. It's so simple to say, and it's not like no one has done it, but why hasn't anyone done it in the past few years? It's not that there are too many green leaves, and I'm afraid that I won't be able to show the red flowers. You perform alone, and others ask, who is that? If there are many, who will ask who you are?
Ji Lan pondered for a moment and said, "You can do this method, it's okay." Hey, I don't know what I did in my last life, and I met such a stubborn girl. What can I do to let her pass this middle altar selection, don't you say? ”
Ji Cheng also sighed when he heard this, "But the fifth sister is not very old, she has worked hard for a year this year, and there is hope for next year." ”
Ji Lan smiled silently, Shen Cui's age is indeed not too old, but it is really not too young, otherwise Ji Lan would not be in a hurry to fight Ji Cheng's idea. "Hey, you help me watch your fifth sister a little, help her, and let the rest be up to fate."
If Ji Lan will obey the mandate of heaven, it is definitely a joke, and she will not have the opportunity to marry the third master of the Shen family if she obeys the mandate of heaven.
