Chapter 873: A Trip to India (2)

The king sensed the interaction between Ashmita and the queen, and asked strangely, "What are you talking about?" What do you do with cats? ”

"My esteemed majesty, the concubine of the Qing Kingdom has a very good skill, which is what Westerners call magic, do you like to watch it?" Mrs. Ashmita said. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Magic? Can the horse master do magic? Okay, well, then let's look at it. ”

Cher finally couldn't hold back a laugh. His Majesty is not simple, and he still speaks Chinese. But the admiration seems to be said to the remains. But acting as a cat and a tiger on this occasion may frighten the queen. If it is in the Qing Dynasty, it is the crime of deceiving the king. But the king was in high spirits and looked very expectant. Bing'er was about to tease him, so she clasped her fists and saluted: "Your Majesty, Zhao really wants to perform a magic trick for you, but he thinks that you are noble and afraid of frightening you." ”

"What magic can scare me? I am also a student of literature and martial arts. ”

"I'm going to use this cat as a prop, and when the time comes, it's going to get bigger, many times bigger, and I'm really afraid to scare you. In this case, I will stay as far away as I can from you, and if there are guards, please protect the king and queen. ”

The ministers of civil and military affairs were all surprised: "It's just a cat, is it so terrifying?" Especially His Royal Highness the Prince, that eager look was raised, and said to Bing'er very friendly: "Lord Pony, can you hurry up?" "Looks like he's looking forward to it.

It's a pity that he spoke Indian, and Bing'er couldn't understand it. I saw Bing'er take the fat cat that was still lazy and wanted to sleep from Mrs. Ashmita's hand, gently rubbed its fur, and didn't know what was muttering in her mouth, and then lifted it up, and the cat became a snow-white tiger, jumped down from Bing'er's hand, hunched over, raised its huge head, and a tiger roared, the sound was really deafening, His Majesty's face was white at that time, and there was a gurgling water in his pants slowly flowing out.

The queen was still calm, but she was also nervous, and she tried to hide backwards.

Bing'er quickly patted the white tiger's back, and the cat immediately changed back to the appearance of a Persian cat and slipped away.

A lot of people broke out in a cold sweat. Bing'er smiled and said, "You're frightened, I'm sorry." ”

Ten seconds of silence erupted in thunderous applause. The king grinned and wiped the cold sweat from his head and left. He had to change his pants, and even he thought it smelled too strong.

At the end of the performance, the king and queen invited Bing'er Xue'er to the banquet, and they were already prepared, so it was not good to excuse themselves. Anyway, this kind of banquet can't be eaten and drunk casually like at home, and it stops at the moment, Bing'er Xue'er doesn't taste good, so she may be a little nervous.

Then Mrs. Ashmita took Bing'er Xue'er and the others to leave and return to the villa. Cher complains that she shouldn't have suggested that Bing'er act as a cat turned into a tiger. Ashmita said, "I'm angry! Don't you feel the eyes of a foreign country? Bullshit King, it's too much! Scare him, and you won't dare to be so rude in the future. ”

"In front of His Majesty, we belong to the younger generation, and I don't believe that he can do anything detrimental to the national dignity. It scared him a lot today. "What kind of eyes are Cher? I have seen the king pee his pants a long time ago, and of course I can't say it.

Next, Mrs. Ashmita and Mrs. Kieran took Bing'er and her party out into the streets. New Delhi is the capital of India, and the business is still relatively prosperous, with many shops, rich products, and a variety of goods. Walking the streets are Indian women dressed in flamboyant saris, Indian men and Turks in red turbans, and Tibetans with their shoulders exposed. If it weren't for Xue'er and Bing'er seeing people dressed like this in the Forbidden City, it would be strange that there would be so many kinds of people in the world. Qing'er is really a cultivator's mentality, no matter what kind of person he sees, he doesn't have any strange eyes, but Mingming, Xiao Linzi, Xiao Liuzi, Outline, and Shi Qing are not so calm. I can't see it with my eyes, and my head is like a rattle. Xue'er remembered what Xiao Eniang said about the exotic land: "The mountain cannon enters the city, the waist is tied with hemp rope, there is no toilet, it is okay, I have an injection, I don't know where it hurts" Thinking about ......it, I almost burst into laughter.

Because Mrs. Ashmita brought her to the street, she didn't buy anything at all, and she didn't give face. Xue'er came forward to buy a little souvenir for everyone, and everyone had it. For example, Xue'er bought a Kashmiri pure wool shawl, Indian essential oils, and gemstone jewelry for herself and Qing'er, and bought sandalwood carved elephants, Darjeeling black tea, and Indian dates for her male compatriots. Bought a sandalwood bead for Mrs. Ashmita.

After returning to your accommodation, you will bathe, eat, and rest.

Bing'er and Xue'er were discussing what to do next in the room when they heard a knock on the door. Then Ming Ming came in with a frightened look: "Go and see, Sister Qing'er is crying in the room." ”

"Huh? Qing'er can still cry? In Bing'er Xue'er's eyes, Qing'er has always been an iron woman and will never shed tears. She was crying, which means that the matter is serious. The two of them hurriedly came to Qing'er's room and asked:

"Sister Qing'er, what's wrong with you? Did someone say something or did someone bully you? Tell me, I'll reason with him. ”

"No, no one bullied me, Cher, I really feel like I'm a human being like you today."

"What are these words? Don't we usually treat you as a human being? We're all friends in trouble. ”

"No, no, you misunderstood, it's not that everyone treats me badly, it's that it's too good for me. I am an evil dragon who has made a big mistake, and I should go to Fulong Cave to be punished, Ganlin Bodhisattva is merciful, and he can't bear to destroy me, so I can use it as a prop for Bing'er's performance. This is already very good for me, but today, you buy the same copy of everything, I am very touched! You treat me like you......"

"What should I have done? It's a matter of course to give you a gift, it's a souvenir, and when you come to a foreign country, you have to give everyone a little thought. Bing'er and I both see you as our relatives and sisters. You have made a mistake and have been punished to the world, and so are we. Who can dislike whom? It's because your inferiority complex is too strong, and it's really not necessary. If you want to say that you have low self-esteem, it should be me, the princess of the Qing Dynasty, being sold to that kind of place, it is very embarrassing to look up. But Master said that we are all cultivators, and when we come to this world, we just want to wash away the bad things on our bodies, just like that lotus flower, rooted in the mud, but can you say that it is silt? It couldn't be more holy. We all want to go back, we have this opportunity to go back, it's where we are better than others, aren't we? So what's so despicable? Whether you are a prop or I am an actor, we all fell from that wonderful world because of mistakes, and after returning through cultivation, we will still be the gods of that world! Sister Qing'er, let's work harder, okay? Get out of here and return to that immortal eternity......"

"Cher, thank you! Your level of understanding is so high, I know what to do. ”

"It's great that you get it."

"What I used to do was too unusual, but I'm changing."

"I believe in you, you have done a good job during this time, and you are becoming more and more affectionate in my heart."

"Cher, you're so nice. I always thought you would hate me and look down on me. ”

"Nonsense again, why do I hate you?"

"I've done a lot of things to Yulong to be sorry for her, it's your little mother. Throwing you into the well was also something I did to control her mind, not what she wanted to do. ”

"You see, you don't talk much every day, and you're just thinking about this? I was too young to remember. It's only a little over a year old, how can I hate you? The little Eniang doesn't hate either. It's all over, okay? ”

"Thank you, you are really forgiving and generous."

"Thank you for your encouragement." Qing'er hugged Xue'er's shoulder and choked for a long time. Xue'er realized that her heart was so heavy, and she had been repenting for the wrong things she had done.

Ashmita bought all the people an Indian outfit, and Bing Xue'er's skin color seemed to be more than a little whiter than that of the Indians. You can get in trouble as soon as you go outside, so be sure to protect them.

Xue'er and Bing'er came to India and often contacted Xiao'eniang in the dead of night, mainly because of what goods were here, what the price was, and whether it would make money to buy them back. also asked not to tell E-Niang about herself and Bing'er in India, otherwise she would be very worried.

Yun'er said: "I will help you keep it secret, but you must protect yourself and ensure your safety and return to Daqing as soon as possible." Only me and Baby Beibei know about your affairs in India, and the two of them won't say anything, E-Niang has already taken care of them. The cotton you bought last time was very good, and if the price is the same as before, it would be better to buy a little more. Also, I don't know what the price of grain is there, how much corn is a pound, how much is rice, you tell me. If you don't have enough money in your hand, E-Niang will transport some to you. Of course, the premise is that it does not affect the normal life of others. In recent years, there have been many natural disasters in the Qing Dynasty, either drought or flood, or insect plagues, wind disasters and snow disasters. There are often a large number of refugees pouring into the capital, which threatens the security and health of the people in the capital, and if someone starves to death, there is a greater possibility of an outbreak of plague. The food supply in the capital is not very sufficient, and the big one of the two Zhuangzi in our house does not produce grain at all. The one in the suburbs is only a few thousand acres, and it can barely guarantee that the people in the house can eat. So if the food in the place you go to is sufficient and does not affect people's food, you can buy it at a price similar to that here, and it will be inconspicuous if you ship it at any time. Luck it in the evening, okay? ”

"Okay, I'll ask Mrs. Ashmita when I see her."

"It's better to be outside than at home, you must protect yourself, not only innocence but also life."

"Thank you, Eniang, we must pay attention to safety."

Lady Ashmita came to Cher again, saying that she did not know if the princess had any taboos, and that the queen would like to see other magic tricks from the colt if she could. If the princess can perform, please come on stage as well. Indians do not have the ideological constraints of the Central Plains, and they are underestimated when they perform on stage. It's that everyone is happy and happy together, and have fun. Or people from both countries will perform on the same stage. ”

Xue'er and Bing'er discussed, and felt that what the queen said was very true, no matter what social class people here were, they jumped up and sang when they were happy, unlike the Central Plains people who called actors actors and belonged to the ranks of the lower nine ranks. Ashmita also said that the king's daughter, the teenage girl, was their princess, and she was a fan of dance, so she didn't care if the princess was a princess or not, she danced and sang when she was happy. She danced quite well, and it was like walking on the ground on stage.

"Then we will prepare to let the king and queen also know about the dance and drama of the Central Plains. It's best to perform on the same stage, and one family plays in rotation. ”

Ashmita was overjoyed and told the queen what Cher had thought. The queen very much agreed with Cher's statement that the family rotated one play at a time, which was fair to everyone. And they are starting to prepare to buy and clean up one of the largest theaters in New Delhi. The two sides are ready to perform on the same stage when they are more proficient.

Half a month later, the first India-Qing song and dance performance kicked off at the National Theatre in New Delhi.

The first repertoire is the Indian dance "Buddha's World". The theater is large, the stage is wide, and there are many people attending the performance. But very orderly, not jumping as you like usual. Instead, with a reverent heart, he interprets a beautiful heavenly world. Inside, there are the supreme lord of the place, the beautiful bodhisattvas, all kinds of arhats, and vajra. The king's daughter played a dignified and beautiful bodhisattva. That music, that dance posture, it's beautiful!

It turns out that the world of the Buddha can also be manifested in the human world? Cher and her party were shocked.

The most obvious feature of Indian dance is that the body language is very rich, especially the sign language is unpredictable. There is also the coordination of the head, neck, arms, legs, and feet, plus the flexible waist and eye input, and the various postures are ever-changing and innumerable. It is said that their dances can represent natural phenomena such as heaven and earth, landscapes, day and night, and have deep religious connotations. Xue'er's Central Plains dance is to express the artistic conception of the Central Plains people's purity, pure beauty, and respect for gods, and the Central Plains culture is the culture of demigods. A country and a nation have a different characteristic from other peoples, and Cher's dance brought a strong shock to the Indian aristocracy. They thought that the Qing people were always so methodical, and their singing and dancing should also be soft. Who knew that the descendants of the Tang Dynasty in Middle-earth would also have such a beautiful dance. They all thought that Indian girls were the most beautiful in the world, but today they saw a different kind of beauty. Cher's beauty is dignified beauty, holy beauty, and the beauty of Indian girls is natural beauty, joyful beauty.

It seems that the timing is a little wrong now, so when the show is over, let's find a chance to talk to Kieran or Ashmita. Xue'er doesn't know much about India, and when she was in the palace, she heard people say that India is very poor and has a large population, and she doesn't know if there is enough food to eat. If people don't have enough to eat, this business is really not good. Food is really a major issue for the national economy and people's livelihood. Including Bing'er, when I was young, no one thought about what would happen if I didn't have anything to eat one day. However, Xiao Eniang said that in recent years, there have been many disasters in the Qing Dynasty, many refugees have been displaced, and countless lives have been lost to starvation and plague. Cher didn't dare to think about that miserable appearance. How uncomfortable would it be to starve to death?
