Chapter 7 A Dance Sees the Red Clothes
The bronze incense burners placed at the four corners of the stage were re-spiced by the maids, and the white smoke with a smoky musky smell made people ignore its high price. More than a dozen dancers in colorful clothes floated to the stage on the fragrant clouds, and the dancers gathered in a circle, with light gauze and long sleeves hanging to the ground, silent, as if waiting for some instructions.
I saw a female musician with her hair combed and looking around at the fairy bun, wearing a goose-yellow tulle light shirt and a chest-length light blue floral skirt with a pipa in her arms and walking to the edge of the stage. The curt-necked pipa in his hand was held horizontally on his lap and he tried Xuan. Then he made a move that seduced the attention of the men in the audience, only to see a slender hand on his forehead, and the long sleeves slipped off the jade arm, and the movement of his eyes and hands glanced at a pretty eye from bottom to top, and the black and white eyeballs turned around, causing all the men who thought they were chic and handsome to think that the beautiful woman's thin eyes were for themselves.
Just when the male guests in the garden are either proud, or straight-chested, or pretending to be chic, or looking disdainful, all kinds of things. I saw a touch of blush floating on the face of the beauty in the fairy mist, and the probe took out a pick between the round breasts that were held up by the green silk girdle and wrapped in the undershirt. The beauty pinched the paddle with two fingers and slowly pulled it out, her arm was lightly raised as if unintentionally, and the paddle slowly slid under her nose, and the beauty seemed to take a deep breath, and her eyelashes moved lightly like an aftertaste.
Just this casual action, all the men present, even Luo Yun, couldn't help but punctify their nostrils, as if they could smell the seductive frankincense on the beauty's chest. Before he could come back to his senses in this wordless fragrance, the sound of the bell was rhythmic, and the bells, suffocations, and drums rang in harmony with the rhythm. The twelve colorful dancers who had just been taken away from their attention in an instant danced when they heard the sound, and their enchanting figures were vividly displayed along with their moving dancing.
The real Han and Tang music and dance, later generations have only heard legends and have not seen them. Or there are researchers who work hard to restore the old view, but unfortunately this kind of song and dance that really belongs to our Chinese nation is completely unaccepted by the young people of the new era. But it is a pity not to see that people are willing to use what really belongs to us to bring the same visual shock to foreigners.
Luo Yun watched it with relish, not only was he beautiful, but the dancing he had never seen before made his eyes linger. Until the previous maid in makeup brought a brazier and placed it in the banquet, and then placed it on the roasted leg of lamb and a small plate of green vegetables. Luo Yun was caught in sight by the aroma of roast lamb legs, and he did feel a little hungry when he rubbed his stomach. looked at the dishes and chopsticks, and then looked at the whole leg of mutton in front of him, and looked at Xiao Nizi suspiciously. Although he didn't order food, this is also a high-grade Qinglou, Datang is still Hu Feng, but it is not enough to let guests hold a leg of mutton and gnaw it in this kind of place.
Xiao Nizi smiled mischievously: "Didn't Childe say that he was hungry?" The slave took it upon himself to order this roasted leg of lamb for the son, this is a newly killed tender lamb, the son please taste it, it can still be tasted" said and picked up a knife from the tray on the side of him, deftly cut a piece of meat on the leg of mutton and put it in the plate, put down the knife, held the porcelain plate in both hands and handed it to Luo Yun and said with a smile: "The master has sprinkled salt when he roasted the sheep, please taste it first, if you feel that the taste is too light, the slave will put a salt dish for the son." ”
Sighing for the thoughtful service, Luo Yun didn't show any dissatisfaction with Xiao Nizi's action of leaning over at the opportunity, picked up the chopsticks and picked up the moderately thick and medium-sized piece of mutton and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it slowly, and just nodded for the tender taste, but he really felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Is this the kind of life that the children of the powerful live every day? Sure enough, it's different from the mountains.
Seeing that Luo Yun was satisfied, Xiao Nizi couldn't help but smile happily, the knife in her hand flew, and pieces of mutton continued to fly into Luo Yun's belly. And the happy little Nizi was busy with her hands, but her body was not delayed, and she rubbed to Luo Yun's side little by little. When Luo Yun, who was eating happily, felt the softness of the arm between his hands, he raised his eyes and saw that it was already Xiao Nizi's pretty red face, and the four eyes were facing each other, Luo Yun immediately lowered his head to avoid the eager eyes, and when he looked down, he saw that his left arm had been immersed in the soft flesh of the skirt shirt at some point, and it was a piece of plump that seemed to be within reach.
After struggling slightly, he raised his hand and gestured to the beauty with his left hand holding chopsticks, and said innocently with his eyes: You hold it like this, how can I eat. Xiao Nizi was very understanding, her bare hand slid down Luo Yun's arm, and she held it lightly on the back of her hand, and before she could feel the warmth, the chopsticks on her fingertips had been snatched away. Luo Yun watched the chopsticks pick up a piece of mutton and handed it over, so Luo Yun understood a word called 'rice to open his mouth'.
Although Luo Yun was not impressed by this kind of skin-to-skin contact, and his innate laziness made him enjoy this kind of service, but ...... peeked at Mu'er, who was completely forgotten by Xiao Nizi next to him. Seeing Mu'er holding her leg of mutton and watching the singing and dancing on the stage intently, she gnawed with relish, and watched with relish. sighed in his heart, and didn't bother to care whether his brother was really attracted by this world of flowers or in order not to embarrass himself, anyway, it was just a meal, it didn't matter.
However, although she enjoyed this kind of personal service, Xiao Nizi's eager eyes were a little unbearable, in order to avoid further verbal and physical hints from Xiao Nizi, Luo Yun took the initiative to bring up the topic to distract her: "Didn't you see that your sign says Red Sword Dance?" Why don't you see someone dancing a sword? ”
Xiao Nizi covered her mouth and smiled, half of her body leaned lightly on Luo Yun's thin shoulder, and said with a smile: "The first time the son came, I didn't know anything. 'Red clothes' does not refer to clothes, but to a lady in our building. Because she likes to wear a big red dress, she calls herself 'Red Dress'. The lady in red is said to have been taught by the master, although the slave does not know how to dance, but it is also very charming to look at. After performing a few times, the reputation of the lady in red spread. A lot of distinguished guests deliberately came to see it. However, the lady in red has a bad temper, is self-conscious, and refuses to dance every day. Even if the guest asks to come to the door, he will not deliberately come to the stage. Even the shopkeeper in the building forced her to do so, so she could only decide when to take the stage by herself. Fortunately, the lady in red always appears a few times a month, so the boss is up to her. But because of this, although the lady's reputation is rumored to be loud outside, her status in the building is not too high......" Xiao Nizi said with a strange look on her face, as if she was sorry and pitiful.
Luo Yun listened to it at the beginning and felt that this red-clothed person was almost a 'Oiran'-like character, and he felt lucky for this trip, and heard Xiao Nizi sigh that the status of the red clothes was not high, and couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't pay attention to Xiao Nizi's expression: "Well, there is such a famous lady here, your boss should treat her as a pillar, why is she not high?" ”
"Pillars?" Xiao Nizi reacted quickly, and in the blink of an eye, she figured out what Luo Yun was referring to, and looked at Luo Yun with two words of admiration in her mouth: "The word son is appropriate." It's a pity that even though the lady in red is a pillar, she is still a wooden stake, so how is it different from other wood? Don't hide it from the child, I and the lady in red are both slaves and maids who belong to the workshop, and if the lady in red is not good at sword dancing, she can only serve wine like a slave......" said Xiao Nizi's face darkened, and she lost her previous courteous appearance, and even her body against Luo Yun subconsciously moved away by two points.
Luo Yun stared at the woman in front of her, if she was still contemptuous of her frivolity in her heart before, but at this time, she was already abrupt, this is just a poor woman. Gently pulled out his arm from the woman's arms, picked up the wine glass on the plate, poured out the residual wine, poured a full glass and handed it to the woman.
The shadow of the wine shook, and the woman took it blankly and looked up at Luo Yun, Luo Yun smiled softly and didn't say anything, turned her head and continued to enjoy the song and dance, listening to this tune seemed to be about to end.
After a while, the last twist of the tune turned off and the music gradually subsided, and the sweaty dancers finally ended their moving dance with a gorgeous group appearance and stepped off the stage. But the beautiful pipa girl didn't leave, and still sat there cross-legged. This pipa girl seems to have a lot of status, and there is even a maid with a wine jug for her to drink.
Taking advantage of this intermission, the noise of talking and laughing in the building resumed, Luo Yun felt the softness between his arms again, turned his head to look at the woman, although his face returned to the look of flattery, but there were some other meanings in those Ying Ying eyes.
Looking down to see that the leg of mutton was basically scraped to the bone, but there was still a lot of cut mutton in the dishes, and it was inconvenient to hold his left hand, Luo Yun simply picked up the chopsticks with his unaccustomed right hand and laboriously held the mutton and handed it to his mouth, and his clumsy appearance made Xiao Nizi laugh for a while. snatched the bamboo chopsticks from Luo Yun's hand and glanced at him with a smile: "Childe won't really come to our Zhanlu Building to eat, right?" I'm almost done eating a leg of lamb, why are you still hungry like this. ”
Luo Yun rolled his eyes and said, "I'm just here to eat, can't I watch singing and dancing while eating?" You...... By the way, what do you call a lady? ”
Xiao Nizi made a deputy aggrieved expression: "Childe only remembered to ask the slave's name at this time?" I have no conscience. Without waiting for Luo Yun to open his mouth, his face instantly turned into joy, and the speed of this face change couldn't help but make Luo Yun speechless, "Slave and lowly people, where is there a name and surname, the slave's name is 'Nier', and the son's name is 'Nizi' or 'Girl'." ”
'Niko'...... Luo Yun was slightly embarrassed, I had called this girl Xiao Nizi for a long time before, but I didn't expect her to be really called Nizi. In Nizi's puzzled gaze, Luo Yun coughed awkwardly: "It's not too early at this time, if the lady in red doesn't appear again, I should leave." ”
Nizi's face darkened when she heard Luo Yun say that she was leaving, and she didn't know whether she was sincere or deliberate, but she still said: "Don't worry, Childe, since the listing indicates that it is the lady in red performance, she will never go on stage." Fangcai's singing and dancing is just the beginning, and Childe, please sit down, so as not to delay Childe's return home. ”
