Chapter Twenty-Three: Showing Faces to Others
The music ended in the interval between the two talking, the dancers stopped to rest for a while, and also gave everyone time to be polite to each other again, President Zhao did what he said, and as soon as the dance music stopped, he took Song Lingyue to President Mu.
President Mu was talking to a few friends, and he swept to President Zhao and Song Lingyue coming over with wine glasses, paused the conversation, and turned his eyes to the two.
"Mr. Mu, I'll introduce you to a young girl." Chief Zhao stepped forward with a smile, handed another glass of wine to President Mu, and turned to point to Song Lingyue behind him.
Song Lingyue nodded at President Mu, President Mu smiled faintly, took the wine glass, and said: "I have heard of this Jin Kaimen's top brand, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation." ”
"Mr. Mu, meet for the first time, I would like to give you a drink!" Song Lingyue raised her glass, first did it as a respect, put down the cup, and asked with a smile: "Then I don't know what the name of Chief Mu heard?" Is it because I'm dancing well, or am I just beautiful? ”
President Mu obviously didn't expect her to ask like this, obviously stunned, and looked at President Zhao with a little embarrassment, President Zhao also felt surprised, and it was inconvenient to interject, so he had to pretend to drink.
Song Lingyue naturally didn't let the scene cool down, changed her words, and then said: "I know that President Mu is upright and resolute, and she is elegant, so Mu Daqianjin can become a famous lady in Kyoto, and she is the object of learning from Kyoto celebrities!" ”
Mu Xue has always been the pride of President Mu and even the Mu family, a famous lady, and she studied abroad, knowledgeable and talented, Song Lingyue's words were taken in the right place, when Mu Xue was mentioned, President Mu's face suddenly had a little pride, and the tone of his speech was much softer.
"Miss Moon also knows Little Girl?"
Song Lingyue shook her head, "I am not so lucky, I just heard of the reputation of the eldest lady of the Mu family, she and President Xia's marriage, but there is a good story in Kyoto, outsiders say that they are a good match made in heaven, it is really enviable, and Young Master Mu is a very generous person." ”
President Mu couldn't help but look at her with admiration, it seemed that this Jin Kaimen's top card was not empty and beautiful, so he asked her to take a step to speak, and stayed away from President Zhao, who was also interested, and turned around to chat with others.
"Miss Moon, you have something to say, shouldn't it be just to flatter me, right?" Mr. Mu led her to a rest area and sat down, and spoke.
Song Lingyue smiled, "It's also rare to have the opportunity to compliment President Mu." I mainly wanted to thank Mr. Mu, but I didn't have the opportunity, so I had to ask Mr. Zhao for a recommendation, and I remember your generosity. ”
President Mu suddenly understood her intention, and he was a little less wary of her, and said with a smile: "That incident, it was originally because the dog was out of grace, or Miss Moon knew the general situation, and she was careful, so she didn't have to worry about it." ”
"President Mu said that there is no need to be worried, but the moon does not dare not be grateful, I heard that the chief likes the Kunqu opera of Miaoyin Garden, I have a friend who knows the popular student in it, and I want to invite him to open his voice these days, I don't know if the chief is willing to enjoy a face?" Song Lingyue asked with sincerity.
Mr. Mu does have a hobby of listening to operas, the popular student of Miaoyin Garden has been closed for a long time, he has not been able to find a better singing than him, and he has not set foot in Miaoyin Garden for a long time, I didn't expect her to have such an opportunity, and she was a little tempted for a while.
Song Lingyue looked at him a little hesitant, and said: "I like to listen to "Peach Blossom Fan" since I was a child, but I have to admire, Hou Fangyu's best performance is Shaotang." ”
President Mu knocked on his knee with one hand, and asked with a half-smile: "Listening to your tone, you are very familiar with this popular young student, the friend you are talking about who knows him will not be Commander Chen, right?" ”
Song Lingyue's expression lit up obviously, "You also know Commander Chen?" ”
Mr. Mu's body relaxed and leaned on the back of the sofa, "I don't know each other, but the celebrities in Kyoto all know about it, but I don't have a relationship with this Commander Chen, I'm afraid I can't stand such hospitality." ”
This is to refuse the meeting with Nicholas Chen, Song Lingyue was a little disappointed in her heart, it seems that it is not so easy for Nicholas Chen to win over President Mu, no wonder he doesn't want President Zhao to introduce him, he wants her to come forward, thinking that there is a reason between them, it is not good to talk about it, so he has to change the topic.
When the two were embarrassed, the hall sounded the loud voice of President Zhao, "It's an honor to invite Miss Moon from Jinkaimen today, Miss Moon is popular all over Kyoto, I don't know if I can ask Miss Moon to present a dance for us on this occasion today?" As the words fell, the people in the hall looked at Song Lingyue one after another, all looking forward to it.
Song Lingyue stood up generously, brushed one hand over her head, and prepared for the dance, the listener of the Zhao Mansion saw this, and immediately changed the record, and the cheerful music slowly flowed in the hall.
Song Lingyue spun to the center of the hall, and under the gaze of everyone, she danced flamenco, her long skirt was flying, and her dancing posture was enchanting, which immediately attracted everyone's attention, and some people were infected by her enthusiastic dance atmosphere, and then writhed, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly reached a*.
As soon as the dance ended, Song Lingyue had an elegant curtain call, and before she was about to retreat, the onlookers poured up, and a few people with wine glasses gathered in front of Song Lingyue, and one of the leaders took the lead in opening her mouth.
"This is Miss Moon, right? I heard that you always wear a mask to show people, I have been to Jinkaimen a few times, but I have not seen your true face, on such an occasion, it is always inappropriate to wear a mask, right? ”
Song Lingyue took half a step back, and said gently and politely: "This gentleman, I am a shy person, today celebrities gather, I, a little woman, really have no room to show my face, don't embarrass me." ”
"Huh!" The man shook his glass and said unhurriedly, "How could it be! Seeing each other is fate, today Mr. Zhao is the east, we are all friends, Miss Moon is a woman in the new era, dancing beautifully, dancing openly, don't do the false courtesy of the ancients, right? ”
Everyone also agreed, in fact, they all wanted to take the opportunity to block the demeanor of this beauty, to see if she deserved her name or was in vain, if it was the former, she could feast her eyes, if it was the latter, Commander Chen, who supported her, would have to lose some face, just kill his sharpness, kill two birds with one stone, why not.
Chief Zhao was also stopped by this person's words, it was not good to openly protect Song Lingyue, not to mention, Nicholas Chen did not come forward to stop him, he had to obey everyone's proposal, and he also echoed it.
"Miss Moon, you just give everyone a face, if we are celebrities, you are the most dazzling star, just give us a chance, a young lady's face!"
Song Lingyue looked in the direction of Chen Tingfeng as if asking for help, he stood on the periphery, hesitated for a moment, nodded at Song Lingyue, and motioned for her to take off her mask.
Song Lingyue was very reluctant, she wore a mask, the main purpose was to hide herself, on such an occasion at the moment, once she was recognized, the consequences would be unimaginable, but the current situation was already difficult to ride a tiger, after weighing it again and again, Song Lingyue still compromised, stretched out her hand, and slowly took off the mask.
Everyone's necks were stretched, and a few of them had sent flowers and gifts to Song Lingyue, who had already been hung up on their appetites these days, and now that she wanted to show her face, they all wanted to see what kind of face was hidden behind this mask.
The moment the mask was taken off, Song Lingyue faced the light, gently shook her long hair, and breathed a long sigh of relief, if nothing went wrong today, perhaps, she would be able to show her face openly in the future.
"Wow!" The crowd couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation, and their eyes were reluctant to take back, "Beautiful, what a very beautiful person." ”
Song Lingyue's eyebrows are like a crescent moon, her eyes are like autumn water, her long and thick eyelashes are flickering like a small fan, her straight and small nose gives her face a three-dimensional feeling, her red lips are delicate, charming and seductive, and her fair and delicate face is glamorous and flawless.
"The Moon Girl is worthy of being the first lady in Kyoto, the ancients praised the beauty of the sentence, and it is appropriate to use it on you, one look at the city, and then look at the country, just one glance, you will feel amazing!"
"Everyone's praise, the moon is deserved, it's not early, please forgive me for saying goodbye first, thank you for your hospitality, thank you for your kindness, another day Jinkaimen will dance for everyone, waiting for you to come!" Song Lingyue said politely, with a decent smile on her face, nodded politely to the people around her, and left calmly.
A group of people looked at the back of her leaving, and couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, until she and Nicholas Chen were far away, and everyone retracted their gaze in disdain, and had to praise again, "Beauty, rare beauty, this Commander Chen really has a good fortune!" ”
On the way back, Song Lingyue opened the car window, threw the mask out casually, breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned back in the chair.
Nicholas Chen rubbed her delicate cheeks with one hand and said approvingly: "You are really outstanding today, you are so beautiful, you should have been generously displayed in front of everyone a long time ago." ”
Song Lingyue smiled and didn't answer, and instead talked about today's results, "Commander, today is not very smooth, Chief Mu did not accept my invitation, which disappointed you." ”
Nicholas Chen narrowed his eyes and said meaningfully: "No, you didn't disappoint me, you have made my wish come true." ”
Song Lingyue looked at him suspiciously, "Commander, what do you mean by this?" ”
Nicholas Chen smiled, hugged Song Lingyue into his arms, stroked her soft hair with his big hand, and said lightly: "It's nothing, don't think about it, you did a good job." ”
Song Lingyue didn't see it, and Nicholas Chen hooked the corners of her lips where she couldn't see.
In the hall just now, maybe Song Lingyue didn't pay attention, but Chen Tingfeng could see clearly, the moment Song Lingyue took off her mask, Mu Nian's eyes burst out with eager light, it was a man's subconscious reaction to being attracted to a woman, it was much easier to start with Mu Nian.
