Chapter 149: Young Master, Young Master! Wipe your saliva!
"Forehead......" The fourth master laughed dryly, a little embarrassed, "Madame doesn't know, the flower is growing a little fast, and it was picked by the child early, so now there are only flower branches left." However, he has written a few good poems for this flower, which is called a subtle and high-spirited festival, do you want to listen to it? ā
Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up: "Really? Quick, read and listen to ......"
"I don't love the summer flowers, and I clean the wild clouds. The cold comes to the house to map the ambition, and the snow and ice warm thousands of homes in winter. ā
"Good poetry! Sure enough, the wind is bright! ā
"There is also a poem about his own, others laugh at me for being too crazy, I laugh at others for not being able to see through, I don't see the tomb of Wuling heroes, no flowers and no wine hoe fields...... Haha, good poetry, right? However, the old man always feels that this poem is still unfinished, and another day Mrs. is free, you might as well help me pry open the boy's mouth and take out the rest of the poems......"
"Good!"
"Good poetry, right? In fact, there is another song like this, when autumn comes to September 8, I will kill a hundred flowers after the flowers bloom. The cupola incense array penetrates Chang'an, and the city is full of platinum armor...... However, it is said that this poem offended the river crab beast and was deleted by the author, so I regret it......"
"It's a shame...... Is there anything else? ā¦ā¦ā
"Let's go, let's ......"
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦
At the same time that Mrs. Lin and the fourth master were enjoying the flowers and chanting poems in the back garden, the second lady caught up with Baihe, who had just walked out of the gate of the Lin Mansion, with the advantage of "martial arts masters are amazing", and made a perfect time difference.
"White River!" She "biu" fell in front of Bai He.
"Who?!" Bai He was startled, and immediately found out that it was her, and couldn't help laughing: "Second Miss? Didn't you want to go back to retreat, why did you run out again? ā
"IāI have a question for you." The second lady said softly.
"What?" The sound was too soft, and there were many people around, and it was a little noisy, and Bai He didn't hear it clearly.
But the second lady thought that he was asking himself what the question was, so he said: "I'll ask you ......" suddenly hesitated, and even she didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a little difficult to ask.
Maybe I'm afraid that his answer is not what I thought, right?
The second lady only felt that her face suddenly became a little hot, but in the end she still mustered up her courage: "I ask you, you do all this, ...... It's all just to repay the favor...... Is it? After saying that, she lowered her head, and her heart pounded like a deer.
"......" Bai He was a little stunned.
This time he heard it, and he knew it very clearly, but he was a little suspicious that he had heard it wrong, and this girl was ...... Seems to mean something else, huh? was a little suspicious, but the second lady waited for him to hear no reply, and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and forgot to be shy for a while: "You dead man!" If I ask, you'll answer, yes or no? ā
Seeing her like this, Bai He couldn't figure out what she meant, so he couldn't help but laugh: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" ā
The second young lady's jade palm stood silently.
Bai He was startled and hurriedly said, "Yes......"
"Sure enough......" The second young lady's heart sank, but before she could be disappointed, she heard Bai He say again, "It's not." ā
"You!" The second lady suddenly froze, this dead man can't say anything well, what's the atmosphere? She didn't know why she was struggling with this question, but asked, "Is it or not?" ā
"Half and a half...... Bai He shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Half is to repay the favor, and the other half is because of ......" He suddenly stopped, just looked at the second young lady fixedly.
He had her reflection in his eyes.
The second lady seemed to have gotten something, was stunned for a moment, and then her pretty face secretly turned red again.
The two looked at each other like this, and in the morning light there seemed to be a little kid named Cupid flying and shooting an arrow at their hearts.
Halfway, Bai He asked coldly, "Second Miss, is this question important?" ā
"I ......" the second lady was dumbfounded.
"It doesn't matter! It doesn't matter at all! She suddenly screamed a little frantically, pushed Bai He away, and ran away without looking back, shouting as she ran: "I don't want to talk to you dead man again!" I'm......"
"Second Miss, so many people are watching, do you really want me to say it?" Bai He shouted from afar, and the second lady suddenly stumbled, but the hanging heart finally landed, extremely down-to-earth.
She looked back at him shyly and angrily, and then with a "mum", she hid her face and left.
"Haha......" The ecstasy in his eyes made Baihe stupid.
"Young master, young master! Wipe your saliva, a lot of people are watching......"
"Huh?"
It wasn't until the second lady disappeared that the little Lori shook her hand a few times in front of him, and Bai He came back to his senses, and then found that he was really drooling, and there was a circle of people in front of him, looking at himself like a fool.
"It's really beautiful and delicious, beautiful and delicious......" He laughed dryly, wiped his hair, shook off his arms and walked towards Lan Kwai Fong.
While Bai He was sacrificing and holding meetings in the Lin Mansion, Father Lan had already done everything here, he was an experienced and native of ancient times, so Bai He naturally didn't have to worry about trivial matters in this regard. When he sent off the second lady, he saw a bunch of people around the entrance of Lan Kwai Fong from a distance, and the dense drumbeat of "dong dong dong" kept coming, which was very lively.
Lan Kwai Fong is next door, and for Bai He, there is no sense of expectation. For others, however, the sense of anticipation is great. Because almost the whole of Jinling knew that the opening ceremony of the Da Zhou Distillery would be held in Lan Kwai Fong today, so early in the morning, the masses had already surrounded Lan Kwai Fong.
Next to the doorway, a makeshift platform had already been erected, on which someone was dancing lions.
The history of lion dance is actually earlier than Bai He imagined.
There are no lions in China itself, and in Chinese culture, "lions" are originally just mythical animals like "dragons" and "unicorns". However, in the Han Dynasty, there were already a small number of real lions introduced from the Western Regions, and the people at that time imitated their external stinges and movements, and developed into lion dances during the Three Kingdoms, and began to prevail with the rise of Buddhism in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. In the Tang Dynasty of the previous dynasty, the lion dance was a kind of large-scale court dance performance, and then the later Shenghou established the Great Zhou, and the lion dance has spread to the people.
Although he had seen the lion dance many times in his previous life, now, Shirakawa has once again refreshed his understanding of "lion dance".
You know, there are martial arts masters in this world. Bai He didn't care much about the opening ceremony, and handed it over to Dad Lan to handle it, who knew that when he invited someone to perform a lion dance, he didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, and the little hooligans came up with ingenuity, and found a few heroes who were good at light skills to replace the original stage team. As soon as those heroes heard that it was invited by Mr. Bai He, who had recently moved to Jinling, they immediately patted their chests and said that they were free and didn't want to stuff money.
The lion dance performed by the martial arts master himself is naturally much better than that performed by ordinary people.
At this time, I saw the gongs and drums noisy, and the two tall and mighty lions played on the stage, starting the momentum, normality, rising, doubting, scratching, greeting, saluting, jumping, scrutinizing, sleeping, going out of the hole, exerting power, crossing the mountain, going upstairs, etc., all of which fully interpreted the "lion dance" culture. In addition, many characteristic elements of martial arts masters have been added - at least, Baihe has never seen anyone who can dance a lion dance to the level of flying eaves and walls, sometimes climbing on the roof, sometimes moving and jumping, sometimes stepping on the snow without a trace, the scene is very exaggerated.
The lion dance platform, although it is temporarily built, but also full of "little seven" characteristics, from time to time there will be a few plum blossom piles, the pile will shoot out of the hidden weapon, the hidden weapon will explode and will emit colorful light smoke, the whole stage will be rendered like a dream, full of fantasy color. The two lions rolled and jumped in the plum blossom stake, as agile as rabbits.
The audience was dazzled, applauding, cheering, and endless. Cheers, screams, bursts of tides, the scene is very lively. As for the surrounding shops, Dad Lan had already said hello, so it was not a big problem.
Anyway, there is no chengguan these days, and no one will come to find fault with you and say that you occupy public places, block traffic, or anything.
Now everything is ready, just waiting for the hour, and only waiting for the hour.
What time is it? An auspicious time to unveil and open the door.
Waiting for whom? Wait for the White River.
The unveiling and opening of the door is the most important and crucial step of the opening ceremony, and Lan Kwai Fong and Da Zhou Distillery are two in one.
Now that the auspicious time has not yet arrived, it is all up to this show to attract popularity.
It's a pity that there were no firecrackers in these years, only a thing called "blasting rod", and the gunpowder was not very powerful, and the sound of bursting rods was not loud enough, which was a bit of a fly in the ointment.
Fortunately, the stage performance is very exciting, and it is flawed.
"Mr. Bai!"
Bai He stood outside the crowd and watched the excitement, and suddenly he didn't know who found out that today's protagonist had arrived and said hello. Suddenly, there was a commotion in the crowd. People hurriedly made way of a passage and congratulated one after another: "Congratulations to Mr. Bai." ā
"He Xibai, Mr. Bai!"
"I wish Mr. Bai a prosperous and prosperous business!"
"Thank you, thank you! Rejoice, rejoice! Bai He nodded and responded, quite a bit of a star, and then waved his hand and said magnificently: "Yuan'er, reward!" ā
"Yes!" Little Lori took out the red envelopes that had been prepared a long time ago, and sprinkled them out like flowers. There is not much money, some are a few cents, some are dozens of mosquitoes, and the most is only one or two silver, just to make a point.
"Wow!!"
The charm of money is unstoppable, and the commotion suddenly turned into screams, and the tide that had been provoked by the lion dance suddenly rose to a higher level, and people shouted until their voices were almost hoarse.
Out of the crowd, Bai He saw Lan Dad, Lan Qingming, Uncle Sixi and others standing in front of Lan Kwai Fong talking and laughing, and the somewhat withdrawn Sailuban Xiaoqi was not familiar with anyone except for being able to say a few words to Bai He, who had a friendship of -1, and her puppet was really scary.
The gate of Lan Kwai Fong was closed, and the signboard on the door was also covered with a red cloth, waiting for Bai He to unveil it.
