101. Dance
When night falls, the lanterns are on, and the breeze blows through the various curtains, giving people a dreamlike feeling.
Zhuo Xi looked at the women who came in the hall one after another, and was very surprised, it turned out that there were so many beautiful women in the Rainbow Spring Courtyard. Seeing that these women all behave elegantly and look proud, they are almost the same as Wan Tang in terms of figure and appearance.
However, they all sat together in twos and threes talking and laughing, but no one greeted Wan Tang, and Wan Tang just sat in his place indifferently, not even looking at these women.
What does Mrs. Fengqi do with so many arrogant women? Send it to the merchant clubs? Shouldn't it be, isn't that a tyrannical thing? Zhuo Xi looked at this group of women who were like celestials, that ...... Was it sent to the royal families?
Zhuo Xi speculated wildly, and suddenly felt a little strange, but the noisy crowd just now quieted down, Zhuo Xi looked towards the door, and saw that the host of today's banquet, Mrs. Fengqi, had arrived.
Everyone got up and bowed to Mrs. Fengqi, and Mrs. Fengqi bowed slightly after taking a seat and said: "Everyone sit down, today are all the girls of our Rainbow Spring Courtyard and Junliang Gongzi, there are no outsiders, you don't have to be polite, just treat it as our family banquet." ”
After everyone sat down again, Mrs. Fengqi said again: "Recently, another girl came into the Rainbow Spring Courtyard, Zhuo Xi, today is officially introduced to you, Miss Zhuo Xi is extremely good at doing Fu dance, if any of you want to change to a new song or want a new dance in the future, you can directly find Miss Zhuo Xi!" ”
Zhuo Xi got up and bowed slightly to the women, and all the women leaned slightly towards Zhuo Xi in return, only Wan Tang snorted coldly and did not react.
"Okay, I just said it, this is a family banquet, you don't have to be formal! There is also a guest who will also introduce to you, Junliang Gongzi, Junliang...... What about people? Mrs. Fengqi saw that Junliang's position was still empty, and looked around again, but still didn't see him.
This stinky boy, I said that he couldn't be absent, why hasn't he come until now? Dare to release your uncle's pigeons! Mrs. Fengqi was a little annoyed.
"Go and find Junliang Gongzi!" Lady Fengqi shouted at the nervous deacon.
"Don't look for it, I'm here!" Junliang walked in in a cyan robe, and his curly hair was carried by the wind as he walked.
Mrs. Fengqi looked at him, nodded and said, "It's good to come, let's sit down quickly." ”
Junliang sat down and looked around, and said to Mrs. Fengqi: "I didn't expect that there are so many sisters by my uncle's side, uncle, you are about to catch up with the queen mother in the sky!" ”
Aunt? Zhuo Xi was a little surprised, this Junliang son was actually Mrs. Fengqi's nephew! No wonder he would help Mrs. Fengqi speak that day. And when Li Yue saw Junliang, her eyes suddenly became sharp.
Mrs. Fengqi smiled and said: "Junliang is really good at talking, how can my aunt compare with the queen mother." It's just that this deep mountain is lonely, with these girls as companions, my aunt can also follow the excitement. Then he turned to everyone and said: "This is Junliang Gongzi from Zhongshan Kingdom, recently lived in Rainbow Spring Courtyard, everyone will not feel raw when they see each other in the future, come, everyone will drink this cup together!" ”
After all, today is prepared according to the specifications of the family banquet, everyone relaxed after drinking this cup, and began to toast and greet each other, and for a while the sound of silk and bamboo was everywhere, and a group of women walked to the center and began to dance.
Zhuo Xi watched the group of women dancing intently, while Junliang looked around boredly, seeing Zhuo Xi's attentive demeanor, he laughed secretly: The little girl just likes these singing and dancing, really, what's the point?
But as soon as she saw Li Yuezheng looking at herself, she couldn't help but feel empty again, why are those looking at me, did she find out? No, no, she can't see me, so what if she does? Didn't they trip you too? Besides, there is an aunt here, what can she do to herself as a little girl?! Thinking of this, Junliang grimaced at Li Yue.
Li Yue looked at Junliang's smug appearance, and was even more sure that the person who dug a pit at the door and wanted to harm him was Junliang, so she couldn't help but hold her breath and clenched her fists.
After a dance, Mrs. Fengqi asked Zhuo Xi, "Do you know what kind of dance this is?" ”
Zhuo Xi leaned over and replied: "The little girl is clumsy, this dance should be taken from the previous dynasty's "Picking Mulberry". ”
"Oh, you know the dance of the previous dynasty?" Mrs. Fengqi was a little surprised.
"The little girl knows a little bit about it" Zhuo Xi replied, thanks to the books in her room, not only the dance situation of various countries was recorded, but even some well-known dances of the previous dynasty were also recorded in detail.
"Mulberry Picking" depicts the palace in the spring of each year, when the seeds are about to be planted, the king presides over the sacrifice and prays for a year of good weather and abundant grains, which is a kind of ritual. The original dance was originally led by a sorcerer, and there were a large number of people, a huge momentum, and the dance style was pious and strong. The number of people in Fangcai's small "Mulberry Picking" has decreased, only 16 people, the first part of the dance is soft and graceful, and the silk and bamboo soundtrack highlights the dancers' clarity and dust, which is more suitable for people to enjoy now; In the second half, the dance steps are accelerated, the dance posture changes continuously, and the music is also high-pitched and powerful, which fully reflects the artistic conception of the original dance. To be able to express such a large-scale formation with a small formation of only sixteen people, this dancer is really superb. Zhuo Xi explained seriously, everyone watched Zhuo Xi and listened carefully, most of them knew some of the artistic conceptions of this dance, but they didn't expect that there was such an allusion behind it, and Mrs. Fengqi nodded lightly with surprise in her eyes.
"Originally, "Picking Mulberry" was to express the vision and enthusiasm in my heart, but this dance came to an abrupt end when it reached the highest artistic conception, as if the dancer had something unfinished to express yet, or was expressing some regrets, the overall feeling was to recall the past scenery, but what was facing in front of him was a wisp of sadness......" Zhuo Xi frowned and recalled some details of the dance just now. She didn't notice that the others had already turned their faces to look at Madam Fengqi, and Madam Fengqi's face had also changed slightly.
Mrs. Fengqi paused, looked at Zhuo Xi with deep eyes and said, "This dance should have been created by Mrs. Ben, and it was made three months after the death of her husband. ”
How could this be, Zhuo Xi was a little stunned, just analyzed the dance, but he didn't expect to touch Mrs. Fengqi's sadness, Zhuo Xi got up and saluted: "The little girl is reckless, please forgive me!" ”
Mrs. Fengqi waved her hand and said, "Don't be nervous, sit down." This dance has been performed no less than ten times, but you are the only one who really cracks the meaning, Zhuo Xi, Mrs. Ben is not wrong about you! With that, he smiled and beckoned everyone to have a drink.
And Wan Tang was very dissatisfied when he heard Mrs. Fengqi praise Zhuo Xi like this, so he got up and said to Mrs. Fengqi: "Mother, Sister Zhuo Xi has just arrived, and she doesn't know a lot about many things around you, so mother will forgive her this time, and if her daughter is willing to dance, she should apologize for Sister Zhuo Xi." ”
This is to intercede for Zhuo Xi, it is clearly a deliberate attempt to provoke trouble, Pan'er and Li Yue stared at Wantang angrily. At this time, Zhuo Xi stood up and said to Wan Tang: "Miss Wan Tang, I will take care of my own affairs, so I won't bother you!" ”
The other women also looked at Wan Tang coldly, they had all been "taken care of" by Wan Tang, and now seeing that she was so anxious to show herself, and she wanted to take the opportunity to embarrass Zhuo Xi, she couldn't help but secretly sweat for Zhuo Xi, while Jun Liang looked at them with a look of good show.
"Hehe, okay, it's rare that Wan'er volunteered to dance, and my mother couldn't ask for it!" Mrs. Fengqi didn't seem to see the tension between Wan Tang and Zhuo Xi, and still said to Wan Tang with a smile.
Although Wan Tang is high and arrogant, but he still takes dancing very seriously, all the women present have to admire, even if it is just an impromptu performance, she has to change into a special dance dress, when she walks to the center of the dance field, she is no longer the previous Wan Tang, and the proud look between her gestures can not be seen at all, as if she is just a pure dancer, and she wants to use her own dancing to interpret all the good things in this world.
The music moves up and down, and the high and low of the music is slow, Wan Tang's dancing posture is also relaxed from time to time, stretching out her arms and lifting her legs, every movement seems to be weak but contains strength, including her smile and eyes, which are not cooperating with the dance, but are part of the dance itself. Wan Tang is like a cloud swallow, with music as its wings, stepping on the changing melody and flying and hovering in the air. It can be said that Wan Tang is not dancing, because she is a dance herself, a dance that is difficult for anyone to achieve.
Everyone looked at Wan Tang in fascination, including Jun Liang, and opened their mouths in surprise, this Wan Tang was simply born for dance! Zhuo Xi also saw Wan Tang's dance for the first time, and was also deeply shocked, she thought of what Wan Tang said with her on the Yuxing platform before, and speculated that Wan Tang's dance was so fascinating because of Lan Yang's guidance, and it was Lan Yang who taught her to experience it with her own heart and interpret it with her own soul, so that she had what she has today. Lan Yang pushed her to the top, and he was accepted by her as a part of herself. No wonder Wan Tang would be jealous of everyone who approached Lan Yang, Zhuo Xi sighed secretly.
At the end of the song, everyone spontaneously applauded, and even Pan'er opened her mouth and involuntarily clapped her hands. Wan Tang walked out of his own world and returned to his usual appearance, stood in the center with a slight gasp and saluted Mrs. Fengqi, then retreated, and glanced at Zhuo Xi before leaving.
Dance has a special meaning for Wan Tang, she is arrogant, no one can enter her eyes except Lanyang, so she has always been lonely, and dance has become her only way to vent and confide. In the dance, she imagines the surroundings as she likes, imagining that she has all the things she wants here, beauty, love, honor..... And Wu Gong had to go back to the original world and face everything he didn't like.
