Chapter 56: Hu Xuan
The drums are pounding and exciting.
The woman on the drum was covered with a green veil, and her dance clothes were as colorful as a rainbow. Two white little arms were exposed from the half-cut cuffs, and it could be seen that more than a dozen thin gold rings were worn on the wrists, and small bells fell on the rings, and the bells rang loudly when the arms shook. Wearing a pair of lambskin boots under his feet, he kicks and beats the drum from time to time, which contrasts with the sound of the drum.
The essence of Hu Xuan Dance, in the word "Xuan", requires the dancer to have a flexible waist, strong legs and feet, and excellent balance performance in order to turn out the most beautiful Hu Xuan.
The woman on the drum is clearly very proficient in this technique. With the drums flying, they spin fast on the drums, and the colorful dance clothes on their bodies are like a rainbow, spinning in front of everyone's eyes.
"Good!"
Piles of cheers rang out.
Crackling applause claps along with the drums.
Mu Yelai on the drum was even more proud. As she spun, her eyes continued to fly towards Xiao Shiji, and she could clearly see the appreciative gaze in his eyes.
Boom!
At the end of the day, a drum beat fell, and the dancers, who had been spinning sharply just now, suddenly stopped and stood facing the women.
It's really moving, quiet like a virgin, and between the tosses, it shows the true colors of Hu Xuan.
The drumming stopped, and the veil on the dancer's face quietly fell, revealing a bright little face like spring, and his eyes wandered, all the way to Xiao Shiji.
Xiao Shiji smiled and applauded with everyone, but his eyes looked at Du Hengshuang.
Du Hengshuang's cheeks turned red.
Mu Yelai looked at Xiao Shiji proudly. saw that his gaze seemed to be fixed on Du Hengshuang. Du Hengshuang turned his face slightly sideways, and also looked at Xiao Shiji with the same gaze. The two of them are natural, and the hustle and bustle around them seems to have nothing to do with them.
Mu Yelai's smile was fixed on his face, and the gloomy color was overflowing. Won't that win back his attention?
Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang are thinking about the same thing. On Du Hengshuang's birthday last year, Xiao Shihe made a special trip to congratulate her. In the backyard of the Du family's mansion, under the flawless moonlight, Du Hengshuang was dressed in red and black, dancing in a hurry, drums and spins flew together, and the beautiful face was the same color as the moon shadow. I couldn't take my eyes off it. After falling asleep that night. Xiao Shiji remembered Du Hengshuang's bright colors in the moonlight. It's hard to suppress the excitement, and I have the first spring dream in my life......
Mu Hou saw that the dancer who was dancing was his favorite third daughter, and Da Lu got up with a smile and said, "Okay! Good! Good! Come to night, your Hu Xuan has benefited again! ”
There were relatives from Muhou Mansion on the side, "It's not that I'm boasting." Our third lady's Hu Xuan is counted in Anxi. It's also one of the best. Now in the Central Plains. Not to mention, if she wants to talk about the second, no one dares to call it the first! ”
The Hu Xuan Dance was originally transmitted to the Central Plains from Anxi. Anxi's dancers dance better than those in the Central Plains, which is not a big deal.
Who knew that An Zichang sneered again, looked at the wine glass in his hand, and said in a long voice: "It's okay for us to praise ourselves behind closed doors, but in front of all the dancers in the Central Plains, wouldn't saying such things make people secretly laugh off their big teeth?" ”
The person who came at the night just now couldn't hold back his face, and asked An Zichang in a weird manner: "Gongzi An said this, wouldn't it be to increase the morale of others and destroy his own prestige?" - Listen to what you mean, it seems that someone dances better than Miss Three? But I didn't believe it. Where can anyone dance better than Miss Three? If so, I'll cut off your head and give it to you as polo! ”
An Zichang raised his glass to Du Hengshuang, "I did see a better Hu Xuan last year." Under the moonlight, the soul is seducing, and after a song, there is no nonsense. ”
Du Hengshuang's brain buzzed, and he almost gritted his silver teeth. - What the hell is this guy going to do?!
Xiao Shiji also restrained his smile, looked at An Zichang with a calm gaze, and rested the wine glass in his hand on the table.
Du Hengxue didn't know what was going on. She didn't complain earlier that some people said that Mu Yelai's Hu Xuan danced the best, and also said that she was second, and no one dared to call her first, so she pouted and said, "Gongzi An is not wrong." My sister's Hu Xuan danced better than hers. After speaking, he was embarrassed, and said to Mu Yelai, who was standing on the drum with a stiff smile: "Third Miss, you also dance well, but you are a little worse than my sister, just a little bit worse." ”
Mu Yelai sneered in his heart. This Du Hengshuang is shameless, but she didn't expect her sister to be so shameless. Tell nonsense with her eyes open, I want to see how far she can lie!
Mu Yelai jumped down from the drum, came to Du Hengshuang, and gave her a deep salute, "I am infatuated with Hu Xuan, and I ask Sister Du to give me advice." ”
Du Hengshuang was embarrassed.
"Sister Du, I've danced, does Sister Du think that dancing is done by sluts who can't get on the stage, and don't want to be in the company of us sluts?" Mu Yelai deliberately said the words of Du Hengshuang in his previous life to stimulate her.
Du Hengshuang said: "The dancer is not lowly, where did the third lady start?" ”
"Since it's not lowly, why doesn't Sister Du refuse to dance for us?" Mu Yelai's eyes rolled and looked at An Zichang, "Brother An, which dancer did you say about seeing Hu Xuan last year?" Can you please compare with Sister Du? Although I can't compare, Sister Du must be able to compare. ”
An Zichang opened his mouth, but saw that Xiao Shihe already wanted to kill when he looked at him, so he had to pour himself a glass of wine, took a sip first, and then smiled: "This is difficult for me, how can I find it when I meet in Pingshui?" As he spoke, he deliberately squeezed Du Hengshuang, "However, listening to Miss Du Er's words, Miss Du seems to be really dancing well, why don't you dance a song for us?" Maybe it's even better than the whirlwind dancer I saw in the moonlight last year. - You said yes, Second Prince Qi? You Qi Wangfu are full of talents, you are well-informed, don't laugh at us frogs at the bottom of the well. ”
Qi Yizhi shook his head with a smile, did not speak, and did not open his mouth to exert pressure.
Xiao Shiji is his subordinate, he can order Xiao Shiji, but it is better not to force Xiao Shiji's family. Even if you are a boss, you have to have a limit to how you behave. The slaughtered Emperor Dezhen. Don't you just think it's no big deal to give a marriage? But he didn't want to think about the circumstances under which he was married. The Great Zhou has been stormy to that point, and he still dares to be powerful, isn't he looking for death?
Qi Yizhi thinks that he is not the kind of person who has a clear mind, and of course he will not get involved in this kind of thing.
At this moment, Xu Yanhui, the eldest young master of the Xu family, suddenly said loudly: "Sister Shuang'er is indeed a good dancer, it is better to be happy alone than to be happy with everyone, why hide it?" ”
Xu Yanhui has never given Du Hengshuang a good look.
Today's "Sister Shuang'er", not only Du Hengshuang shivered, but even Fang Yuniang and Xu Shao felt uncomfortable.
Du Hengshuang looked at Xiao Shiji and asked as if asking for help: "Brother He." Do you want me to jump? ”
If Xiao Shiji doesn't want her to jump. Killing her won't jump.
Xiao Shiji smiled slowly: "Jump, why don't you jump?" Since they are looking forward to it like this, you dance a song and let them watch it. What a real Hu Xuan! ”
Du Hengshuang glanced at Xiao Shiji steadily. "Good. Since my brother and I asked me to jump. I'll just jump. ”
Mu Yelai watched Du Hengshuang walk out step by step, holding the hands of the two maids, and stepping on the big drum.
Just like that, she wore a simple red dress and a black dress. Follow the drum beat and dance.
Hands raised, arms extended, waist swings, in the more and more rapid drum beating, the dance rotation is getting faster and faster.
The sleeves are fluttering, like dancing snow in the wind, although there are only monotonous red and black, not as dazzling as Mu Yelai's colorful dance clothes just now, but they focus everyone's attention more closely on her sharp dance steps.
The red half-arm rotates, like a red disc fire wheel. The black skirt is flying, like a flying star, and the rainbow halo is frosty. Dancing to the extreme, the whole person seems to be about to fly in the air, step on the song, and turn without stopping. At the same time, the little feet move vertically and horizontally on the drum surface, stepping on the strings. The sound of ding dong is as straight as a rebound pipa, and the big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate.
The musician who was playing the drum next to him was stunned and actually stopped drumming.
In the whole garden, except for the sound of the drum that Du Hengshuang stepped on the drum surface, there was no other sound, and it seemed that even the birds on the trees were holding their breath, looking at this scene like the Hu Xuan that flew in front of the Buddha and danced.
An Zichang smiled and glanced at everyone present, bowed his head and took a sip of wine.
Xu Shao and Fang Yuniang exchanged uneasy glances.
Xu Yanbang's eyes widened when he saw it.
Xu Yanhui's face was even more gloomy.
Du Hengxue smiled happily with a proud expression.
Xiao Shiji's face was calm and light, but his heart was dripping blood. - Frost, this is the last time you can dance in public. From now on, your Hu Xuan can only dance for me alone. No one can force you to do anything anymore......
Everyone was intoxicated, and seeing that the whirlwind was getting more and more intense, someone knocked on the porcelain plate in front of them and followed suit.
The musician who played the drum was taken aback, only to realize that he was stunned just now and forgot to beat the drum, so he quickly picked up the drumstick and struck it along the rhythm of Du Hengshuang's drum.
The drums became more and more urgent, and Du Hengshuang's Hu Xuan also turned more and more urgently, faster and faster, so fast that everyone only saw red and black phantom whirlwinds.
When the last drum fell, Du Hengshuang jumped up from the drum surface, turned around twice in mid-air, and fell to the ground like a phoenix, half-kneeling.
Raised his head again, revealing a beautiful red face that was slightly gasping for breath due to the rapid dance, as bright as a peach blossom, as beautiful as a peony, and full of bright light, which made people unbearable to look at.
Xiao Shiji hurriedly stepped forward, helped Du Hengshuang up, and bowed slightly to the people around him, "Let everyone laugh." We have something to do today, so let's take our leave. Then Qi Yizhi, the second son of Qi, nodded, made a gesture that only the two of them could understand, and left Muhou Mansion with Du Hengshuang.
Mu Yelai stood there in a daze, looking at the backs of Xiao Shiji and Du Hengshuang who were far away, and there was only one voice roaring loudly in his heart: fake! Fake! This Du Hengshuang is fake!

PS: In order to write the "Original Companion Treasure Book", I looked through a lot of ancient books, read those Tang legends, Song miscellaneous records, and various manuscripts of the Qing Dynasty, and saw the wisdom and generosity of the ancients, I was very emotional. I know that some sisters have some opinions about the plot of the white fox. I just want to say, if you can accept the fantasy of traveling, being reborn, crossing and rebirth, and can accept all kinds of modern abilities that can see through stones, people's hearts, brains, and even ghosts at a glance, why can't you accept the plot of a small fox fairy to repay your kindness? The ancients were very receptive to this kind of plot. The inspiration for this plot comes from a story in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", putting aside the shell of the ghost fox fairy, it is actually a house fight story, it depends on what angle you look at.
