Volume 1 The Scholarly Atmosphere Chapter 6 Learn to Dance and Train Horses
"Today, you have met the most beautiful dance and the most handsome beast tamer in Qingshan Academy!" Ye Kai said very excitedly, and from time to time he crossed his hands on his waist to show his new outfit today: a neat sky blue tight skit, with a brown belt and a pair of black boots embroidered with moire, it is undeniable that he is indeed a lot of energy.
"The most beautiful dance, we understand, today is Senior Sister Chu Hanqian, everyone knows that she is the first beauty of Qingshan Academy, to be honest, we are also looking forward to it!" Xiao Moyan said that he was a little out of the world.
"You took away the word 'we', you expected it yourself, right?" Yan Keran interrupted directly, "But this most handsome beast trainer ......." deliberately lengthened his tone, "We really don't understand", and put on a pretending ignorance as if he was spreading out. This time, Xiao Moyan also cooperated rarely: "Yes, I don't understand either", and the posture was exactly the same as Yan Keran.
Watching their singing and harmony, Xuan Shaoning just wanted to laugh.
"This wing hasn't hardened yet, and it's starting to squeeze your senior brother, see if I don't repair it well!" Ye Kai carried the ears of the two of them one by one.
"Oh, senior brother, I don't dare..... It's all bad for Ke Ran! Xiao Moyan took the lead in betraying his classmates.
"And say that I, who was attaching just now! Oh, senior brother, be a little light" Yan Keran glared at Xiao Mo angrily, this traitor.
The crowd laughed out loud.
Yao Pavilion can be said to be the most elegant place of Castle Peak Academy, located in the southeast corner of the Academy, with a height of three floors, from the first floor to the third floor, the structure is similar to that of Shang De Hall, the same is the top of the mountain, the most special thing is that the second floor has three different directions to extend the pavilion, evenly distributed, and the angle between each two pavilions is the same. The carved beams and paintings on the pavilion, the peony finch for the construction of the eaves of the warped, the handrails painted all over the lacquer, the whole building looks like a person standing straight, and then straightening his hands, the shape is very unique.
Just as everyone was about to enter the Yao Pavilion, suddenly a burst of piano sound slowly came into the ears, the sound of the piano was clear, deep and shallow, high and low, graceful but heroic, everyone looked up and saw a person sitting on the top of the southeast pavilion was stroking the qin, devoted, unmoved by the surroundings.
"This ...... Isn't it Senior Brother Shen Ming? Qi Wantong was the first to shout. Everyone looked up, and everyone thought that Shen Ming's martial arts were strong, but they didn't know that his piano skills were also outstanding.
When everyone was still surprised, they saw a purple shadow fluttering to the middle of the Hope Pavilion, and no one could see how she appeared, just like a flying fairy from outside the sky suddenly descended. I saw her standing on one foot, the other foot cocked back, the person leaning back, the right hand with the orchid finger swinging at will, the left hand raised high, facing the sky on her back, and her long inky hair was loosely tied with only a purple ribbon. Just such an appearance is enough to charm all beings, Ye Kai's eyes straightened, and only the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
At this time, the melodiousness before the sound of the piano became high-pitched, and the woman also began to dance in a flickering manner: first, in the middle of the stage, she began to rotate in place, and the purple satin of her body flew in the wind, which was beautiful; Then he put his hands together, curled up his whole body, and suddenly spread his arms after a tone, like a peony in the wind, proudly open; Suddenly, there was a leap, bending back with both hands and feet in the air, forming a beautiful arc, and also showing a very beautiful figure, as if time had stopped at this moment, so that this wonderful posture was frozen.
As the end note fell, the woman also slowly retracted her figure and stood still. Shen Ming stopped and stood up, the two stood side by side on the pavilion, the breeze caressed, the two of them were wearing flying clothes, what a good couple.
"What a beautiful dance...... What a melodious piano sound...... "Everyone was stunned, and they could only praise it in their mouths."
I saw the woman walk to the edge of the pavilion, hold the railing with her hand, suddenly get up and jump down, her figure flashed in the air, leaving a memorable shadow, and then landed steadily.
"Wow..... It's amazing! Su Qian couldn't stop admiring.
Chu Hanqian walked in front of everyone in a curling manner, and his suddenly natural facial features, snow-white neck, and proud twin peaks overshadowed all the beautiful scenery around him.
"Just now I choreographed my own dance, called Du Hong, thanks to Brother Ming's agreement to play" Chu Hanqian said and smiled slightly towards the top of the pavilion.
"Sister Qian, you dance so beautifully, can you teach me?" Qi Wantong couldn't help but ask.
"Yes, don't forget, I'm your music and dance master!" Chu Hanqian's voice was pleasant, and her Ying Ying smile was really intoxicating.
"Beauty is beauty, but the dancing postures are all danced by women, and we men are just looking at it," Mu Qingyuan interjected.
"You yourself said that you watched it, and since you are watching, you can't watch it casually. You can not learn to dance, but you can't learn to appreciate dance. Chu Hanqian's words made the boys puzzled for a while.
"You have to know where each dance comes from, what are the basic movements, who is best at it, and what instrument is most in tune with" Chu Hanqian circled the crowd and told eloquently, "There is also music, you have to know the five notes of music, understand the tune of music, and read the mind of the person who composes music."
I really didn't expect that there was such a deep knowledge in dance music, and for a while, the teenagers were silent.
"Don't always look ignorant, follow me slowly, I'...... But it's very strict! It's still the kind of laugh that hooks people's hearts, but it makes the teenagers have to pay attention to it from the bottom of their hearts.
"I'll just say, you didn't come in vain today, if you can learn Qianqian's everything, the song and dance workshop in Xuancheng will be chosen by you" Ye Kai glanced at the teenagers, and immediately looked in the direction of Chu Hanqian, his eyes full of pity and love. Yan Keran made an exaggerated grimace at everyone, which made everyone want to laugh but had to hold back. Fortunately, Ye Kai didn't notice their small movements at all at this time, and all his attention was poured into Chu Hanqian.
"It's not too young, but it's still so indiscriminate when he speaks" Chu Hanqian seemed to be dissatisfied with Ye Kai's words, his face was displeased, and he turned his back to Ye Kai to face the teenagers, Ye Kai could only catch a glimpse of the stunning side face.
"You learn a lot from Senior Brother Chu and Shen Ming, and be a man first after studying" Chu Hanqian left without looking back after finishing speaking.
For a while, the scene was very embarrassing, Ye Kai opened his mouth and stood in place in a daze, his face was stunned, but he didn't expect to slap the horse's hooves.
"After so many years, you should know Qianqian's temperament, and you still talk nonsense" Shen Ming walked downstairs and came to Ye Kai's side at some point, patted Ye Kai on the shoulder with his hand, "Collect your temperament, maybe there is still hope" After speaking, he also turned around and left.
"Hey...... The master said that my nature is difficult to change, I just can't be like you....." Looking at the back of Shen Ming, who was gradually moving away, Ye Kai hung his head.
The teenagers who were still laughing were also quiet at this time, and watched silently for a while. "I'll just say, Senior Brother Ye is very energetic today, don't you say?" It was Xiao Moyan who broke the silence first.
"That's right, I really think so" Yan Keran is also rare not to dismantle the stage.
"It's not too early to look at the hour, Senior Brother Ye, don't you still want to teach us beast taming?" Xuan Shaoning tried to change the topic to resolve the current embarrassment.
This trick was quite useful, Ye Kai turned around and immediately returned to his usual ruffian appearance.
"That's right, it's time for you to see and see today" Ye Kai walked in front of Xuan Shaoning, faced everyone and said: "Don't be late at the racecourse all the time", turned around and left neatly.
"Since ancient times, there has been affection and hatred," Mu Qingyuan said quietly.
Xiao Moyan jumped up, knocked Mu Qingyuan on the head, and asked, "Where did you learn it?" ”
"Who told you not to study well" Mu Qingyuan touched his head and said unconvinced.
"I think Qingyuan is right" Qi Wantong obviously supported Mu Qingyuan, "You should read more" said it, turned around and walked away with his hands folded behind his back.
"Sister Tong, wait for me" Zhao Ke'er, Bai Luoyao, and Ling Feiyan also left.
Seeing that Qi Wantong was standing on the opposite side very herself, Xiao Moyan was speechless for a while.
Su Qian smiled, and also walked by himself, walked for a while, turned his head and said, "Mo Yan, I have realized Senior Brother Ye Kai's state of mind."
The oval-shaped racecourse, a circle is about four miles away, the track is paved with Qingli soil, which appears flat and wide, and the inner and outer circles are all surrounded by a person-high wooden fence. There is a row of bungalows on the west side of the racecourse, which is a stable, with a total of no less than 30 horses, and the neighing of horses can be heard from time to time, among which the five horses purchased from Xiliang are the most precious, namely: Ten Shadows, Jade Horse, Shocking Sail, Jueyun, Chili, tall and strong, shiny skin, powerful feet and hooves, neighing and high-pitched, even compared with the royal horse, it is not inferior.
"This horse is red all over the body is Chi Li, it listens to me the most, I like it the most" Stroking Chi Li's head, Ye Kai seemed to be stroking his own child, with infinite love in his gentleness.
"The so-called beast control is not to override the beasts, but to understand their emotions and language, learn to communicate with them, let them listen to you, and then reach the level of tacit understanding. You have to learn how to ride, and you first have to read the emotions of the horse. ”
Ye Kai pulled Chi Li out of the stable, picked up a brush and slowly combed it on Chi Li's mane, "Ma Tong is human, treat it well, and it also knows how to repay the favor." Xiliang Wujun has a strong temperament, if it is not a person who trusts, no one can try to control it, you can try other horses first, those are much more docile."
"Can I try one, then?" Yan Keran was a little impatient, "I once learned some riding skills with my father, I'll try it first" There was no lack of pride in his words.
"Okay, let me see the riding skills of Master Yin of the Mansion," Ye Kai smiled and nodded.
I saw Yan Keran walk into the stable and carefully select, and pulled out a horse with a whole body brown, he pulled the reins of the horse, also touched the mane of the horse, whispered something in the horse's ear, and then walked to the side, holding the saddle with one hand, stepping on the stirrup with one foot, jumped up and rode on the horseback, sorted out the crumpled clothes, held the reins of the horse with both hands, and looked like a cavalryman.
"It's worthy of knowing how to ride," Du Shaoyin couldn't help but praise.
"It's just a little bit of a look," Xiao Moyan pouted, "Hey, you might as well run around and show us, what's the matter just sitting on horseback and posing."
"Hehe, Brother Xiao, don't rush, let's have some real guys, look at it." After saying that, Yan Keran tugged on the reins and clamped the horse's belly with both feet, "Drive!" With the neighing of the horse, the horse's hooves were spread and he began to run.
"There are really two hits!" Duan Lang couldn't hide his envy in his words.
Ye Kai squinted and watched the horse run farther and farther, but he faintly felt uneasy. Sure enough, as Ye Kai expected, Yan Keran did ride a horse in the mansion, but at that time, a group of subordinates supported the horse and lifted him on the horse, and he just put a few poses on the horseback, and he had no experience of galloping horses at all, and today's everything was just a deliberate imitation based on what he saw in the army. The horse is running faster and faster, Yan Keran can no longer control it, and the person begins to sway back and forth on the horseback, Leng is hand is hand is gripping the reins, gritting his teeth and insisting.
"Not good!" Ye Kai saw it clearly this time, stepped to Chi Li's side with an arrow step, stepped on the stirrup, turned over, lifted the reins, and shouted, "Drive!" Chi Li was like an arrow from a string, and everyone only felt that a fiery red wind was blowing, leaving a puff of dust in vain, and they didn't see how Chi Li was speeding past him.
"Stop pinching the horse's belly, hold on to the reins with both hands, and don't relax! Hold on! Ye Kai on horseback leaned over to ride the horse, staring at Yan Keran with his eyes for a moment, and chased with all his attention.
This will be the case for everyone.
"Ke Ran looks like he's going to fall off his horse!" Zhao Ke'er stared at her big frightened eyes.
"This bastard, you know how to do it!" As he spoke, Xiao Moyan had already pulled out his legs and started running, of course, the speed of a child was a world of difference compared to Chi Li, but he didn't seem to notice this huge gap at all, and ran forward with all his strength, Xuan Shaoning understood his thoughts, and also ran, which drove everyone, and everyone ran in the direction of Yan Keran.
Chi Li is worthy of being Chi Li, in less than a stick of incense, he is already half a foot away from Yan Keran's side, Ye Kai held the reins tightly with his left hand, stretched out his right hand and shouted: "Give me your hand!" ”
Yan Keran turned his head with difficulty, his face was still pale, he couldn't speak, he could only tremble and stretch out his hand, Ye Kai grabbed it and made a hard effort, Yan Keran only felt that his body was light, and after staying in the air for a while, he fell heavily behind Ye Kai.
"Hold me tight!" Ye Kai clamped Chi Li's stomach hard, rushed to a parallel position with the frightened horse, and drove side by side, at this moment Ye Kai blew a whistle, grabbed the reins of the frightened horse with his right hand, and shouted, the horse let out a long neigh, and suddenly, the front hooves stood high. "Woo ......" Chi Li took the opportunity to run ahead to block the way, and finally the frightened horse stopped galloping, still snorting and panting in place, and paced in place restlessly.
"Are you alright?"
"It's okay....." Yan Keran still hadn't recovered from the shocking scene just now.
Ye Kai lifted his right leg and jumped down to the left, stepped to the side of the frightened horse, tightened the reins, kept stroking with his hand, and put his mouth to the horse's ear and said: "Be good, be good, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." This trick was very effective, and after a while, the horse began to quiet down, and arched Ye Kai with his head, as if in response. This scene was also inexplicable in Yan Keran's eyes, Ye Kai's beast control skills are really very good.
"Squeezing the horse's abdomen hard with both legs will cause it pain, and it is also a signal to gallop, a novice like you should not rush to ride the horse when you have just sat down, you should hold the reins and let the horse walk slowly for a while, you are too anxious!" Ye Kai frowned and analyzed.
Yan Keran hurriedly jumped off Chi Li, and apologized with a red face, "I'm really sorry, thank you Senior Brother Ye for breaking the siege, I ...... In the future, I will stop showing off like this and devote myself to learning riding."
"Remember what you said today", Ye Kai raised his eyebrows, "Get on the horse, they are still behind, let's go back."
When Ye Kai and Yan Keran appeared in front of the teenagers sitting on Chili and leading another horse, they saw that the teenagers were all panting for breath but did not stop.
"You guys ......" Yan Keran jumped off the horse and ran forward, a little incredulous, "Did you run all the way?" ”
"Nonsense! You say you'...... Reckless ...... What can you do, now there is a lesson! Xiao Moyan crossed his hands on his hips, panting, sweating profusely, and his face was flushed.
"That's right, I thought you really would, I really scared us just now" Ling Feiyan was a little dissatisfied.
"It's good that people are fine, this time the lesson is profound" Xuan Shaoning stepped forward and looked around Yan Keran.
"Didn't you see it, Mo Yan was worried just now" Qi Wantong squeezed her eyes and smiled meaningfully.
"That's right, don't look at the usual silent love and you raise the bar, just now he was the first to take the lead and run" Duan Lang was very honest.
"What nonsense!" Xiao Moyan seemed to be very annoyed, "I just want to see him make a fool of himself, how can I see it if I don't run faster?" ”
"That's what I said, this doesn't match Mo Yan's usual style" Ye Kai said ruffianly, when he walked past Yan Keran, he bumped into it, and when he saw Yan Keran looking over, he smiled slyly.
As if he understood Ye Kai's intentions, Yan Keran stretched out his hand and said a little shyly: "Just now...... Thank you for your concern". Xiao Mo was stunned for a while, and then he also stretched out his hand to hold Yan Keran's hand, pretending to be generous and said, "Be polite, be polite."
At this moment, the strings in Xuan Shaoning's heart seemed to have been gently plucked by someone, and an inexplicable feeling poured out, this is the friendship of classmates! The setting sun tilted again, but this time at just the right angle, enveloping everyone in a crimson halo. Xuan Shaoning secretly glanced at Shi Gong Zhengyuan, and saw a rare warmth in his eyes.
