Forty-six, Wan Tang
However, to Zhaoqian's delight, within a few months, Lan Yang took an elder to live in Fushan Courtyard, and later heard that it was Lan Yang's master, known as Mr. Hong'an. However, at that time, the Lord of the Banner issued a strict order that all the people of the Condensation Hall were not allowed to approach the Fushan Courtyard, let alone interfere with the actions of the people of the Fushan Courtyard.
Although it is only a stone's throw away, he can't often see Lanyang's brother, and Zhaoqian's admiration and longing for Lanyang are even more crazy like weeds. How many times has she wandered alone in front of the door of Fushan Courtyard, and how many times has she looked at the high wall of Fushan Courtyard stupidly, hoping to see Lan Yang.
And as time went by, Lanyang became more and more jade-wooded, and more and more women fell in love with him, which made Zhaoqian hate and fear, she was really afraid that Lanyang would not look down on her. So she worked hard to learn all kinds of talents, so that she could not surpass others in all aspects, and if she couldn't surpass it, she used various means to suppress the attack.
But a year later, Mr. Hongan's niece, Wan Tang, came, and she was so beautiful that all the women in Ninglutang felt ashamed. Since then, there has only been one Wan Tang by Lan Yang's side, and other women can no longer get close, and neither can Zhao Qian.
"Brother Lanyang, do you know that after that incident, what I am most glad about is not that I was promoted, but that I met you! You stepped forward to save me when I was in the most danger, it was you who gave me strength and hope, you said you would protect me, Brother Lanyang, do you remember? Zhao Qian muttered to herself in the bronze mirror.
"No one can stand between me and Brother Lanyang, Wan Tang can't do it, and neither can this Zhuo Xi!" Zhao Qian said hatefully.
Wan Tang?
That's right, Wan Tang!
What would Wan Tang have done if she knew that someone had threatened her status in Fushan Temple?
Moon Pavilion
A two-in, two-out courtyard, this should be the best place for the girls of Ninglutang. In addition to the curved corridor Qiaoxie, there is a lotus pond outside the rockery flower bed, although there is no green on the lotus pond now, but under the light of the sun at noon, it is also fun to eat and play fish while feeling the waves.
When Zhao Qian arrived, he saw such a scene. A slender and graceful woman stood by the pool, wearing a tight-sleeved light dress with a translucent close-fitting soft skirt that looked more beautiful and straight.
It seems that she should have just finished dancing, and this woman is really diligent! Zhao Qian sneered secretly. In order to check whether each dance is in place, the dancers wear such clothes when practicing.
The woman by the pool sometimes stands and stares, sometimes turns to take erbium, sometimes leans over and raises her arms to eat, each movement draws a beautiful arc, and with the lotus step lightly, it is like dancing, plus the reflection in the water, it is simply a natural and exquisite picture, beautiful!
Zhao Qian was a little stunned when he looked at it, and then he felt hatred in his heart. I hate that this fine courtyard belongs to someone else, and I hate that this elegant dance is not my own!
Zhao Qian stood aside for a long time, but the woman by the pool did not notice her, or she knew of her arrival but turned a blind eye. Zhao Qian and the others were a little impatient, forget it, now is not the time to be angry with her, let's go over to her.
"Sister Wantang is so elegant!" Zhao Qian squeezed out a stiff smile.
Wan Tang didn't stop the movement in his hand, threw out a bait, flashed his long eyelashes and said coldly and arrogantly: "Oh, it's Miss Zhaoqian, you are a rare guest!" ”
Although Wan Tang came to Ninglu Hall a year later than Zhao Qian, he always called her "girl", maybe he never took her seriously.
"I went to give Mrs. Fengqi a name card for flowers and trees, and I happened to stop by to see my sister." Zhao Qian didn't see Wan Tang's arrogance.
"When has Miss Zhaoqian been so diligent, and it will be your turn to run away on the errand of the little girl." Wan Tang threw the bait in his hand, clapped his hands and said disdainfully.
Zhao Qian was still not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Look at what my sister said, we should be diligent, otherwise there will be no place for us when the newcomer comes in the future!" Didn't my sister just finish dancing? ”
Only then did Wan Tang turn his face and glance at Zhao Qian, and said with a light snort: "Newcomer? What about newcomers? It's still in your hands! ”
Zhaoqian knew that Wan Tang was resentful of her when she first came, so she took a step closer, and said in a soft voice as much as possible: "My sister is still struggling with the past, in fact, my sister also has a hard time, you misunderstood my sister." ”
Misunderstand? Wan Tang doesn't think so, it's a misunderstanding to let her dance barefoot in the snow in the winter? It was also a misunderstanding to force her to reglue the broken teacups together in the dark, and her hands were covered with blood, and she was not allowed to cry......
Seeing that Wan Tang's pink goose egg face had changed color, Zhao Qian hurriedly smiled and said: "Actually, it's my sister's fault, I only think about carrying out Aunt Meng's orders, I didn't protect my sister well, and let my sister suffer!" However, now that my sister has been recognized as a righteous daughter by Mrs. Fengqi, it can be regarded as a bittersweet end! ”
Carry out Aunt Meng's orders! Hmph, it's really a strong word, Wan Tang really doesn't want to bother with Zhaoqian anymore.
Just when Wan Tang turned around to leave, Zhao Qian flashed and blocked the way, and said eagerly: "Sister, my sister came here today to tell you something, this feeling that spring is coming, but my sister is still practicing the dance before?" ”
Wan Tang looked away and said, "This dance was set by Mrs. Fengqi a month ago, what's the matter, is it wrong for me to practice this?" ”
"Naturally, there will be no mistake, but Fushan Courtyard recently came to a new seedling, Mr. Hongan is very appreciative, not only received the position of Tongbi as soon as he came, but also Mr. Hongan personally gave the name, it seems to be called... Zhuo Xi "Zhaoqian knows that the most intolerable thing in the life of an arrogant woman like Wantang is that others are better than herself, and such excellence is recognized by people she respects.
Sure enough, Wan Tang's face changed a few times, but she quickly returned to her cold normalcy and said lightly: "What does this have to do with me?" ”
"It's okay, my sister naturally won't look for you. I heard that this Zhuo Xi is very talented, and even Lanyang's brother praised her as a talented woman. No, the minor tunes we want to use in the spring are all rearranged by her, and I'm afraid that the dance that my sister is practicing now will also be rearranged by her, and my sister is afraid that you will practice in vain after practicing for so many days. Zhao Qian made a sad expression.
At this time, Wan Tang's face completely changed, and he said with a cold face: "My dance has always been compiled by Brother Lanyang alone, he is the first dance of Ninglu Hall, can anyone replace him?!" "Many of the dances compiled by Lanyang are specially customized according to Wantang's posture advantages and physical characteristics, so Wantang has many more opportunities to be alone with Lanyang, which is the pride of Wantang, and it is also the most jealous but helpless thing for all the women who like Lanyang!
"It's hard to say," Zhao Qian frowned and thought about it, "Anyway, this Zhuo Xi stays with Brother Lanyang all day long, and a few days ago, I went to send folk tunes collected from all over the world, and Brother Lanyang directly let this Zhuo Xi review it without reading it." ”
Hearing this, Wan Tang seemed to have an understanding and said coldly: "Summoning Miss Qian, shouldn't you touch a nail at Brother Lanyang's place, so you asked me to go to Brother Lanyang to make trouble, right?" ”
Zhao Qian was shocked and was recognized? However, Zhao Qian quickly reacted and said eagerly: "Where did my sister say, no matter what, we have been together for so many years, my sister is really worried about you." If you want to say that the most worthy of Brother Lanyang in the entire Condensation Hall is your sister, this is not long before the days of spring, it stands to reason that Brother Lanyang should come over more to guide his sister to practice dance, but sister, have you ever seen Brother Lanyang recently? ”
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I haven't seen Brother Lanyang for several days, is what Zhao Qian said true? Wan Tang raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking secretly.
Seeing that Wan Tang was moved, Zhao Qian continued: "Alas, it's no wonder, my sister only knows how to practice behind closed doors in this Moon Pavilion all day long, and you definitely don't know what happened outside. Do you know who made the Yihe minor song that has been sung these days? It was the one who sang casually on the first night of Zhuo Xi's arrival. ”
In the past few days, I did hear someone singing this Yihe tune, I thought it was a new work of Fushan Academy, but I didn't expect it to be from the mouth of a young seedling, it seems that this woman is indeed talented!
"Actually, what my sister is most worried about is that if Mrs. Fengqi finds out about her and appreciates her, then sister, your situation will be dangerous. This is the real purpose of my sister's coming here today, which is to let my sister know more about things outside, in case she is left out one day, she doesn't know. After Zhao Qian finished speaking, he carefully observed Wan Tang's face.
Mrs. Fengqi! That's right, Mrs. Fengqi knows and loves talents, otherwise she would not have made Mrs. Fengqi happy to accept herself as a righteous daughter because of one of her own solo dances. All the women who came to Ninglu Hall had to pass through Aunt Meng's eyes when they came in, and similarly, they had to pass through Mrs. Fengqi's eyes when they were about to leave. If it is really like what Zhao Qian said, the new woman is really a talented woman, then it will be a matter of time before she is discovered by Mrs. Fengqi, and at that time, I really don't know if I can still enjoy the current treatment?
Seeing that Wan Tang had been silent, Zhao Qian shook his head again and said, "Sister, you can really calm down, my sister is really anxious for you." Why don't you take the time to go to Fushan Courtyard and see for yourself if your sister has lied to you. Okay, it's not too early, my sister will leave first, and my sister will stay! ”
After saying that, he turned around and walked away triumphantly.
Looking at Zhao Qian's back, Wan Tang kicked the bait box at his feet into the pond, instantly stirring up layers of ripples, attracting countless swimming fish to grab food.
Sweeping away the elegance and beauty just now, Wan Tang clenched his fists and stared at these swimming fish angrily, and said angrily: "What is there to grab, if you have the ability, eat more, if you don't have the ability, you will be hungry!" Eru, go and inquire if there is a new seedling in Fushan Courtyard. ”
The maid was startled by Wan Tang's shout, and stammered, "Yes... Yes, I just came here a few days ago..."
Wan Tang turned his head to look at Eru, as if he remembered something, "Don't you have a fellow villager in Fushan Courtyard?" You ask her. ”
"Oh, yes... Pan'er... She waited for the newcomer... Girl..."My own girl has always been cold and indifferent, and the sudden appearance of such a fierce look really made Eru startled.
Wan Tang also realized his gaffe, adjusted a little and asked Eru: "Did she tell you about this girl?" ”
Slightly mentioned that "in Ninglu Hall, slaves and maids will be severely punished for discussing the affairs of the girls, but seeing that Wantang has recovered her expression, Eru is also bold to say her thoughts, "Actually, it's not like Zhaoqian girl said, Pan'er said that their girls are actually quite kind..."
Wan Tang interrupted Eru's words: "Let me ask you, did she get the position of Tongbi as soon as she came?" Did Mr. Hung On personally give the name? Is the minor tune being sung these days for her? Has Brother Lanyang been with him these days? ”
"It's... However, Lord Lanyang just asked her to sort out some broken books..."Eru wanted to explain.
"Why, even you spoke to her? It seems that this girl is really unusual, I really have to meet her. Wan Tang was really annoyed. Although he knew that Zhao Qian would not really think about himself, there was such a woman in Fushan Courtyard, and he was indeed a threat to himself.
"Change my clothes, and go to Fushan Courtyard now!" Wan Tang turned to leave.
"Huh? Go now, go now... I'm afraid it's too early! Eru's mouth opened wide in surprise.
"Early?" Wan Tang looked up at the sun above his head, and said with a sneer: "If you go early now, when will you go?" At night? ”
"Yes, the banquet is scheduled for the evening." Eru nodded and said seriously.
"Banquet? What banquet, how do I not know? Wan Tang was a little surprised.
Eru hurriedly came over and handed over a rolled brocade silk, bowed her head and said: "This is just sent by Fushan Courtyard, saying that Mr. Hongan is going to have a banquet for Aunt Wuyi tonight, and invite a group of female relatives from Fushan Courtyard to accompany the banquet." Just now, the girl was talking to the girl Zhaoqian, so the slave maid did not report it. ”
"Aunt Wu Yi is Mr. Hong'an's old acquaintance, and the banquet is natural, do you know who else is going to go?"
"I just asked, Lord Lanyang and Mr. Hongan's disciples will go, and the new girl is also invited." Eru replied cautiously.
"She's going too?" Wan Tang took a deep breath and was about to look for her!
"Yes, I heard that the new girl was still relieved by Aunt Wuyi during her physical examination yesterday."
Even Wu Yi Guzu was shocked, it seems that it is indeed not simple!
