Chapter 24 Tens of thousands of red threads are worn
In another round, I saw the peach blossom pass to a girl about fourteen years old, wearing a moon-white long dress, her hands were like soft wattles, her skin was like clotted fat, her collar was like a grub, her teeth were like a rhinoceros, and her head was like a moth eyebrow. The other has its elegant beauty, a touch of clarity, a crystal blue Weilu hairpin on the head slowly shakes, and the silk flowers bloom in the three thousand hairs to bloom a cold, quiet and noble light.
The beautiful girl in white stepped forward and saluted: "The slave maid is Zhang Jingxiang, the daughter of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen are auspicious." After the Queen Mother said "up", she raised her glass and drank.
The Queen Mother said with a smile: "I heard that Zhang Jingxiang, the daughter of Prime Minister Zhang Cheng, is good at dancing, can you give a dance?" ”
Zhang Jingxiang saluted and said: "This is the honor of the slave maid, and the slave maid is ugly." ”
The Queen Mother said: "Xuan'er, can you play the flute for Miss Zhang?" ”
Lan Xiao'er, who was in a trance, raised her head slightly, only to see a familiar face again, the purple-clothed young man, wearing a royal blue robe, heard him say "yes", a melodious and tactful flute sounded, Zhang Jingxiang danced with it, light and graceful, and ethereal dance, which set off her quiet and beautiful appearance. Everyone watched her graceful dancing with fascination, and after the dance, the voices of surprise were endless.
The Queen Mother nodded and praised: "The cooperation between the two is really tacit, reward." ”
In another round, I saw the peach blossoms in the hands of Lan Rou'er, she stepped forward and saluted: "The slave is Lan Rou'er, the daughter of General Lan, the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen are auspicious." ”
The Queen Mother said with a smile: "Let's get up, I heard that General Lan's daughter, Lan Rouer, is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, which makes the mourning family embarrassed." ”
Lan Rou'er saluted and said: "The slave has the courage to try, singing and dancing while painting and calligraphy." ”
The Queen Mother said with interest: "Oh? This is fresh and very good, so let Xuan'er play the flute for you again. ”
I only heard the young man in purple respond to a "yes", a heart-wrenching flute rose softly, only to see Lan Rouer singing, dancing, calligraphy and painting, she danced lightly, her body was as light as a swallow, her body was as soft as a cloud, her arms were as soft as bones, and she danced like a lotus flower step by step, like a butterfly flying among the flowers, making people like drinking wine, drunk and unable to restrain themselves. Ruyu's plain hands lingered tactfully, the skirt fluttered, a pair of watery eyes like smoke wanted to talk and rest, the streamer flew, the whole person was like a flower through the fog, hazy and ethereal, flashing with beautiful colors, but it was so far away. It made me drunk like a good wine, and I couldn't help myself. At this time, the sound of the flute suddenly turned urgent, and her body danced faster and faster, with her right foot as the axis. Relax the long sleeves lightly, and the delicate body rotates with it, turning faster and faster. Suddenly, it flew up from the ground, like a Limbo fairy.
The applause in the peach blossom forest was everywhere, and the sound of surprise was endless.
The Queen Mother applauded and said with a smile: "It's really an eye-opener for the mourning family, what a girl like a Lingbo fairy!" Lan Rou'er, the mourning family has a string of white crystal bracelets, come here, and the mourning family will put it on for you. ”
Lan Rou'er stepped forward slowly and knelt down. The Queen Mother took out the white crystal bracelet from the box and put it on her wrist, Lan Rouer thanked her, Yingying got up, walked back slowly, and sat down.
Since Lan Rou'er was chosen, Lan Xiao'er, who was sitting next to Lan Rou'er, felt several rays of light following her, watching her fidget, very uncomfortable, and lowered her head even more, not daring to raise her head to explore.
In the last round, Lan Xiao'er looked at the peach blossoms that were passed on, and silently thought in her heart: Don't be her turn.
But the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come. When the peach blossom arrived in Lan Xiao'er's hand, she was startled, and hurriedly lowered her head and saluted: "The slave maid is Lan Xiao'er, the daughter of General Lan, the queen mother, the emperor, and the queen are auspicious." ”
After the Queen Mother said "up", Lan Xiao'er lowered her head and drank.
The Queen Mother said with a smile: "Raise your head." ”
Lan Xiao'er slowly raised her head, only to see a flash of surprise in the Queen Mother's eyes, and murmured, "It's true." ”
Lan Xiao'er looked at the Queen Mother inexplicably, only to see her smile and say, "Hearing words is not the same as seeing them." ”
Lan Xiao'er was uneasy in her heart, she couldn't see that she was not the real Lan Xiao'er, so she lowered her head and listened to the Queen Mother continue: "I heard that General Lan's third daughter is good at martial arts, can you give a performance to the mourning family?" ”
Lan Xiao'er was at a loss, and her heart turned a thousand times, only to hear a male voice sound: "Imperial grandmother, today is a begging banquet, and performing martial arts is inevitably incompatible with the atmosphere of this peach blossom forest, is it okay to sing instead?" ”
The Queen Mother looked at Lan Xiao'er, and then at the red-clothed young man who said this to relieve her, and said with a clear smile: "Yu'er, what you said is reasonable, but you have to punish her for composing poems." What does Lan Xiao'er think? ”
Lan Xiao'er exhaled, stepped forward and saluted: "This is the honor of the slave, the slave is ugly." ”
Then he gently opened his lips and sang:
"When is the bright moon, ask the wine to the sky.
I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace.
I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the high place is unbearable.
Dance to figure out how the shadow seems to be in the world.
Turn Zhu Pavilion, low Qihu, shine sleeplessly.
There should be no hatred, what is the long time to say goodbye?
People have joys and sorrows, and the moon is cloudy and sunny, and this matter is difficult to complete.
I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles. ”
At the same time, a melodious flute sounded along with the song, and the cooperation was very tacit, as if the piper had heard it.
After the song, the audience was silent, and the Queen Mother glanced at Lan Xiao'er deeply and said: "I wish people a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles." There was silence for a while, clapping and applauding, and the audience applauded.
The Queen Mother waved her hand, and the audience fell silent, only to hear her say: "You can also compose a poem with the title of 'Qiqiao'." ”
Lan Xiaoer should be "yes" and recited: "Qixi tonight to see the blue sky, morning glory and weaver girl crossing the river bridge." Every family begs to look at the autumn moon and wears tens of thousands of red silks. ”
The Queen Mother nodded and said: "I only heard that the third lady of General Lan is good at martial arts, but I didn't expect that the lyrics and poetry are also good, it is really very different from what I hear!" Reward! ”
……
The Queen Mother looked at the lively atmosphere and said with a smile: "This year's peach blossoms are very beautiful, everyone should go to enjoy the flowers with the mourning family." After speaking, everyone responded and followed behind one by one.
Dad and Lan Fei went first, and Lan Xiao'er and Lan Rou'er also got up and walked slowly at the end of the crowd.
Lan Rou'er said: "Xiao'er, my sister has never heard the song you sang, did Erniang teach you?"
Lan Xiao'er lowered her eyelids, concealed her weakness and said, "Yes." ”
Lan Rou'er nodded when she heard this, and patted Lan Xiao'er's right hand with her left hand to express comfort.
Lan Xiao'er smiled at Lan Rou'er and nodded to show that it was okay.
The eldest lady turned to look at Lan Rou'er and Lan Xiao'er behind her, and slowed down, and when they walked to the side, she grabbed Lan Rou'er's hand and whispered: "Rou'er, I see that the Queen Mother intends to marry you to the crown prince or the third prince, and I think it's very good for my mother, your mind is known to my mother, you want to ......."
Hearing this, Lan Rou'er looked at Lan Xiao'er and lowered her eyelids.
Lan Xiao'er watched their mother and daughter whispering, and left them with a knowing pretence of stomach pain. Lan Xiao'er walked a few steps away and sat down in the pavilion under the peach blossom tree, not wanting to disturb them.
Lan Xiao'er looked at the night walking in the distance, and thought to herself, he didn't look back at himself after all, was it really wishful thinking for himself at the beginning? Hehe, it's no wonder, as the crown prince, how could Yueqi, who is the crown prince, fall in love with such an ordinary self?
Lan Xiao'er murmured softly: "Many times, men will make you think that he is in love with you, but in fact, he really doesn't; And a woman will make you think that she is unlikely to fall in love with you, and she will be moved. "Is that the case with Night?
Zhang Xiaoxian once said that I only love people who love me, because I don't know how to love someone who doesn't love me, and I don't know where to start at all. He loves you, anything is easy, and he will come and move you. He doesn't love you, and no matter how hard you try to move him, it's in vain. I can't afford to love someone who doesn't love me, and I can't love my youth. My smiles, my tears, my affection, my youthful days were only waved for the one I loved and loved me.
Lan Xiao'er laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm such a person." ”
"I seem to have been waiting all along, but I don't know who I'm waiting for. I have been waiting for someone, a person who knows how to cherish fate, a person who is willing to hold hands with me until I grow old, a person who believes that there is true love in the world like me, a person who cares about me and cares about me, a person who knows how to tolerate and understand me, a person who may not be perfect but knows how to cherish me, a person who loves me on a blind date, and a person who likes each other. ”
"Now I have to find something other than love that will make me stand strong on the earth with my feet."
Lan Xiao'er slowly looked up at the peach petals, gently pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "Smile, girls who love to laugh, their luck will not be too bad." Maybe if you don't know it, your smile will become someone's whole world. ”
……
Two months before the start of the begging feast:
The people who can get up before the hour are the ones who are forced by life, such as Lan Xiao'er. The day after Dad told them to go to the begging banquet, he specially invited all the gentlemen to teach Lan Xiao'er to study, ending her happy life of sleeping in the house until she woke up naturally. And Lan Xin and Lan Rouer are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, only Lan Xiaoer knows a little bit or two, so she was bombarded by the gentlemen in turn two months before the Qiqiao Festival.
Qin, Lan Xiaoer has learned the electronic piano at the beginning, and can only play some children's songs such as Little Red Riding Hood.
Chess, Lan Xiaoer can only play backgammon and checkers.
drawing, Lan Xiaoer only learned elementary sketch painting.
Not to mention martial arts, I don't know anything.
In the study, Lan Xiao'er went in and out of his left ear, and when the gentlemen left, they shook their heads and sighed, and their father's face became more dignified, and finally one day after studying for a month, he looked at the sky and said, "Maybe your mother only wants you to be like this." ”
Lan Xiao'er looked at him inexplicably, only after he made himself not have to learn, he looked at him with joy and indescribable, he just touched Lan Xiao'er's head helplessly and kindly.
In fact, Lan Xiaoer in the 21st century is also a college student who has studied hard for more than ten years, but when she came here, she became half illiterate and became a deep boudoir lady who 'women are not talented but virtuous', so she hated and hated to disdain traditional Chinese characters.
Another month passed with nothing to do, during which Lan Rouer basically came to Lan Xiao'er every day, and discussed with each other about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in her words; Lan Xin also came to teach Lan Xiao'er martial arts every once in a while, and used his words for self-defense.
Lan Xiao'er looked at the enthusiastic appearance of the two of them, and knew that they had the same wishes as their father, so they fiddled with them so casually, but the effect was indeed a drop in the bucket.
