Liu Fan, Wang Kai and others were still immersed in an inexplicable emotion brought about by the family separation of Yan Haicheng and others, and suddenly heard the words of the person at the table, they were all startled, and turned their heads to look, only to find that this person was the scholar who had a quarrel with Wang Kai when Liu Fan and his party first came in.

As soon as Wang Kai saw that it was this person, he immediately stood up and was about to have a seizure, Liu Fan immediately patted Wang Kai's wrist and signaled him to calm down and listen to what the person said next.

At this time, Yan Haicheng spoke: "Dare to ask Your Excellency's name?" ”

"Haha, it's good to teach Brother Yan to know that I am Xie Yuan Xu Pan of this year's Xianggong, just now I said that Brother Yan should be more grateful to me for being a little bit worse, more precisely, it should be thanks to our family, because my father is Xu Li, the prefect of Liangzhou, and it is he who cooperates with the Northwest Battalion to ensure the food and grass of the army."

"And my uncle is General Guo Huaide, the deputy commander of the Northwest Battalion and the commander-in-chief of the Right Route Army, the Right Route Army defeated the Khitan under his command, do you think you should thank our family?"

Yan Haicheng thought for a while and said, "Thank you Brother Xu, thank you to the prefect and General Guo. ”

As he spoke, he bowed to Xu Pan.

Liu Fan, Wang Kai and others were a little stunned, thinking that this person's family was prominent, and he was also gentle and elegant, but this person ...... Anyway, they didn't have a good impression of this person, and both of them saw disdain in each other's eyes, Wang Kai even shook his head slowly,

But as soon as he heard that this person was actually related to Deputy Chief Manager Guo, he didn't say anything more.

When Liu Fan, Wang Kai and others toasted each other with Yan Haicheng, Liu Fan realized that the second performance had already ended.

Although there have been two performances in the hall in quick succession, the noise is still in full swing, and in between performances, the noise is even louder.

At first, the sound of the piano in the hall did not attract much attention, as if the subtle wind was blown mixed with the piercing sound of firecrackers, but with the sound of the piano slowly improved, everyone found that another performance was about to start, but as the sound of the piano was high, the noise of the people decreased, and suddenly it was low, and finally it was almost inaudible.

But at this moment, everyone's attention has shifted from the sound of the piano to the stage in the hall, only to see a woman in colorful clothes has stood on the stage, she looks beautiful, tall, standing on the stage like a fairy robe fluttering, revealing an indescribable charm.

Liu Fan inadvertently glanced at the table, not only Wang Kai and Dong Zi were watching, but Yan Haicheng next to him was even more fascinated.

Wang Kai saw Liu Fan's sweeping gaze, his eyes stared at the stage, and explained casually: "This is the popular girl of Yihong Courtyard, who is the most skilled dance." ”

At the moment when the vibrating piano sound sounded again, the shallow girl slowly began to change her posture, and finally took on a beautiful "S" shape, like a peacock standing up.

As the sound of the piano goes on and on, the shallow and slender, flexible arms and flexible fingers continue to change, vividly expressing the static and subtle dynamics of the peacock's neck and head.

The light and agile posture imitates the demeanor of a peacock from time to time, sometimes combing its wings, sometimes dancing with the wind, sometimes strolling gently, sometimes bowing its head to drink, sometimes standing, sometimes whirling, and sometimes gently holding up the beautiful wide skirt with its hands and feet, and spreading the tail of the finch adorned with golden feathers......

The people in the hall were either shocked or amazed, and when the dance ended in Yingying's bow, the shallow girl raised her head slightly, revealing a shallow smile, and the applause in the hall was like thunder.

With the end of the dance, Ah Xia led two maids over, only to see one maid holding a large plate of silk flowers in his hand, and the other holding a wine utensil.

I only heard Ah Xia say with a smile, "Ladies and gentlemen, whoever presents silk flowers to Miss Qingqian tonight, no matter how many silk flowers are presented, the little woman must personally toast a glass of water and wine to the guests, and the guests who give the most silk flowers will personally toast a glass of water and wine by Miss Qingqian."

This son, how many silk flowers do you want? One, okay, this military master, you want a few, two, okay. This son, do you want a hundred? Okay, okay, I'll thank this son for my shallow girl first. ”

And with the end of the dance, the competition without gunpowder in the hall has begun.

I saw that Xu Pan had already written a poem at the table, and after the maid skimmed it, he immediately sent the poem to a house in the southwest corner.

After a while, the maid came out to announce that Xu Pangongzi's poems were appreciated by the three girls and assessed as one hundred silk flowers, and immediately read them on the stage: "Pretty than spring peaches, pure as autumn chrysanthemums......"

After listening to the maid's announcement, many ladies in the hall cheered up, only to hear Xu Pan say: "Brother Haicheng, it's up to you next, I heard that every time my brother comes to Yihong Courtyard, he has to write poems to the Qingqian girl, and today you and I are watching the dance on the same stage is fate, and it also allows the brothers to see Brother Haicheng's talent." ”

Yan Haicheng looked left and right, and saw that not only was a group of ladies waiting to see, but the eyes of Liu Fan, Wang Kai and others were also full of encouragement, and Liu Fan even had a knowing smile on his face.

At this time, he couldn't retreat, stretched out his hand and hugged his fists around: "Since you are so generous, the little brother does not dare to hide it, thank you for your love, and the brother will be ugly." ”

With that, he lowered his head and pondered for a while, then walked directly to a low table next to him for writing, and picked up the pen.

Yan Haicheng dipped the brush tip into the ink, paused slightly, and then wrote it on the rice paper, leaning slightly, a poem of dragon flying and phoenix dancing has jumped on the paper, next to Liu Honglu took it, nodded after a little browsing, and read it softly, "The willow waist stretches the jade pendant, and the lotus step moves the golden branch lightly, how did Chang'e get here in the month?" The Nine Heavens Fairy is the same. ”

Liu Fan doesn't understand poetry, and after listening to Liu Honglu's recitation, he feels that Yan Haicheng's poetry seems to be slightly better than Xu Pan's, but there is no first place in the text, mainly in personal understanding.

However, the maid's announcement later confirmed Liu Fan's speculation, and Yan Haicheng's poem was finally rated as one hundred and fifty silk flowers.

Hearing the maid's announcement, a look of annoyance appeared on Xu Pan's face without concealment, only to hear Xu Pan sneer: "Brother Haicheng, although these shallow women will evaluate the next poem as one hundred silk flowers, but this Yihong Yuan can only make one poem at a time, I add the silk flowers I bought with one hundred taels of silver before, a total of two hundred silk flowers, I'm sorry, today I gave the most silk flowers to the Qingqian girl." ”

The implication of this is that although Yan Haicheng's poem won one hundred and fifty silk flowers, the shallow girl still had to toast Xu Pan, and it was not Yan Haicheng's turn.

At this time, I saw that Miss Qingqian had slowly walked down from the stage, and the moment she picked up the wine glass, Liu Fan saw that Miss Qingqian seemed to glance at Yan Haicheng who was sitting next to her casually, although Yan Haicheng seemed to be unmoved, but her tightly bitten lips and distracted eyes revealed the helplessness in her heart at this time.

Liu Fan picked up the wine bowl and said to Yan Haicheng and Wang Kai and the others: "Brother Yan, since the three of you are already in Xianggong Middle and High School this year, you will definitely go to Beijing next year?" ”

"It is with this idea that the three of us are ready to lead our families to return to their hometowns after the Daqing in early October, and it is not filial piety to leave our parents alone on one side.

"Now that you've returned to your heart, why don't you go back to your hometown immediately?"

"Oh, that's right, the government has informed me that I can't return to my hometown without permission, and I can't leave until I participate in a large-scale cultural meeting organized by the Liangzhou government in early October."

When Liu Fan, Wang Kai and the others and Yan Haicheng exchanged a few bowls of wine, they saw that the lights in the hall gradually dimmed, and everyone couldn't help but look into the hall.

It turned out that a group of maids extinguished the oil lamps on the pillars of the hall one by one, and finally the whole hall was dark.

Puzzled, suddenly the corner of the hall accompanied by the sound of a Chen Jin Ge iron horse of the zither, everyone's minds were suddenly attracted by the sound of the Zheng of the slaughter, only to see that with this shocking music, dozens of butter wax burned on all sides of the hall at the same time, and the hall was illuminated as if it was day, and a person in the center of the stage was dressed in military uniform, scarlet clothes and red armor, beautiful eyes, lips like dots, eyebrows like hanging swords, holding a long and a short two swords and dancing slowly, not who is Axia.

Liu Fan took a sideways look, only to see that Wang Kai was even more stunned, his mouth was open enough to put eggs in, knowing that this guy had never seen Ah Xia dancing with a sword, only to hear someone in the hall shouting softly: "This is the sword dance of Aunt Gongsun!" ”
