Chapter 17: The Night (2)
Chen Xu pointed to the young man who was playing the sheng again to show Su Qin, and saw him standing behind the dancer, fifteen or sixteen years old, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, calm and calm.
Chen Xu told Su Qin that he was Wei Xiang, the son of Wei Wei, and in order to hide his true identity, Chen Xu assumed his name Chen Xiang.
Su Qin admired Chen Xu's meticulousness and thoughtfulness, and with such an arrangement, people who didn't know the details really couldn't see the flaws. At that time, the two children were still young, and more than ten years have passed, who can still recognize them today?
After the performance of "Deer Song", the music and dance team then performed "Wei Feng? Bo Xi" and other tracks. While watching and watching, Chen Xu and Su Qin secretly discussed the details of the plan to save people, and Chen Xu hoped to think through each step clearly to avoid revealing flaws in the future.
Su Qin watched the wonderful music and dance, reveled in the beautiful scenery of the good day, and drank a few more glasses of wine, but he was a little distracted.
When the wine was hot, Su Qin's blood surged, he was a lover, I saw him stand up uncontrollably, walked to the performance queue, and sang and danced to the music.
Chen Xuxiao looked at Su Qin slightly, although he felt that he was slightly out of shape, because he was a guest he had invited, it was difficult to stop it, so he simply let Su Qin immerse himself in music and dance.
Wei Jia and another pretty-looking maiko were originally performing a music and dance that was ready to be heard, but Su Qin intervened halfway through and danced together, and they were inevitably uncomfortable.
The two dancers looked at Chen Xu and found that Chen Xu actually acquiesced to Su Qin's behavior, so they performed according to the usual routine, and occasionally cooperated with Su Qin's dance.
Wei Jia was a little restrained, but the pretty woman gradually took the initiative to cater to Su Qin, and the more they danced, the more involved they became. Su Qin was already half drunk at this time, and he and the pretty woman danced in pairs, quite as if no one was around.
At that time, it was not uncommon for guests to join in the dance during the feast, but tonight after all, Chen Xu was dancing with the Maiko he had offered to him, who knew if he would violate the rules of the host?
Chen Xu thought that Su Qin was just dancing symbolically for a while, but he didn't expect him to be in it like that, of course, he was a little unhappy in his heart. However, he is an old and serious person, and Su Qin will still be of great use in the future, so even if he is unhappy, he will not show it on his face, but will also tap a few times in rhythm to show his appreciation.
Chen Xu frowned slightly, he thought about how to take advantage of Su Qin's weakness and make some fuss on him, and soon he made up his mind.
As soon as the song dispersed, Su Qin was still unsatisfied, and sat down on the table with a radiant spirit. Chen Xu said with a smile: "How about dancing with Mr. Su just now?" ”
Chen Xu had a smile on his face, but the tone of calling Su Qin changed to "Mr. Su", which was obviously a little angry.
Su Qin didn't realize it, he replied with emotion: "She is really a wonderful beauty, and her dancing posture is very outstanding. ”
Chen Xu introduced to him: "This woman has just joined the music and dance team for less than half a year, surnamed Meng Mingting, a native of Hexi County, her parents were killed in the battle of Hexi, and she was alone in Quwo City. I saw that her dancing skills were top-notch, and she had a poor background, so I took her in. ”
When Su Qin heard the life experience of the dancer Meng Ting, he was very sympathetic to her experience, and said with emotion: "In a chaotic world, how many families have died. I don't know when the world will be stable, each in its own land, each in its own way, and in its own happiness. ”
Chen Xu also nodded yes. He remembered what he had just calculated, and asked Su Qin tentatively: "I see that Mr. Su has a good impression of Miss Meng Ting, why don't I help Mr. make a match, and ask her to get acquainted with you?" ”
Su Qin didn't expect Chen Xu to say such a thing, so he hurriedly replied: "How dare Su Qin have such idleness, the big thing is not over yet." Just now, I just got carried away on a whim, and I asked General Chen for forgiveness. ”
Chen Xu heard that Su Qin didn't dislike Meng Ting, but shirked being entangled in things, and he had a bottom in his heart.
He patted Su Qin's arm with a smile and said, "Alas, how to talk about forgiveness, Mr. Su is a man of temperament, and it is normal for people to be affectionate when they see beauty." You can't forget your love when you do big things, maybe Miss Meng Ting is also interested, isn't it a beautiful thing. ”
Chen Xu said, stood up and walked to the backstage, to personally say hello to Su Qin. Su Qin also stood up anxiously, wanting to hold him, Chen Xuha smiled, flicked his shirt lightly, got rid of Su Qin's arm, and went straight to the backstage.
Su Qin was anxious and ashamed, and he was also a little expectant, and his heart was beating faster, like a deer crashing into his arms. He already has a wife at home, but his wife has never returned to her mother's house. His wife hated him for not doing business and talking freely, and the two had no name in their marriage and had not seen each other for five years.
However, this is not a big deal, because during the Warring States Period, etiquette collapsed, and the combination of men and women was even more formal, and "little wives", "little concubines", "little women", "little women", etc. were everywhere, and women often turned to other places due to the economic embarrassment or discord of the husband.
Su Qin's worries lie in his reputation, the matter entrusted by Wei Wei has not yet been completed, he first fell into Gentle Township here, and it reached Wei Wei's ears, making him look down on himself. But he didn't think about it: even from Chen Xu, his romantic reputation would be rumored in the future.
But Miss Meng Ting has a lot of charm, and her graceful demeanor is always entangled in Su Qin's mind and lingers. Su Qin became six gods and no master. He secretly hoped that Miss Meng Ting might refuse, and he would die of death.
When Su Qin was happy and worried. Chen Xu had gone backstage to find Meng Ting and saw that she was changing her outfit, waiting for the next performance.
Meng Ting saw Chen Xu walking towards her, and hurriedly got up and gave a deep salute. Chen Xu said to his mouth, and he was a little embarrassed, so he first said some words to ask for warmth.
Meng Ting saw that Chen Xu's purpose was not here, and she calmly replied while guessing Chen Xu's true meaning. Sure enough, Chen Xu's words turned to the topic, and he said, "Miss Meng, do you know who was drinking with me just now?" ”
Meng Ting flashed her charming eyes and replied shyly: "The little woman doesn't know, please ask the general to show me." ”
Chen Xudao: "This person is Mr. Guigu's high-footed Su Qin, who is extremely intelligent, extraordinary, eloquent, and talented. ”
Meng Ting listened to Chen Xu's words, recalled that Su Qin had danced with him selflessly just now, and vaguely guessed Chen Xu's purpose. She was in a daze, she didn't answer immediately, she thought for a while, and then said softly: "Mr. Su is dignified and heroic, not an ordinary person. ”
Chen Xu saw that Meng Ting had a good impression of Su Qin, and felt that there was a drama to sing, so he decided to continue. He said: "Mr. Su Qin has come to Quwo City on this trip, and he has a heavy responsibility, but I still don't know his details. I wonder if Miss Meng is willing to get acquainted with Su Qin and find out for us? ”
Meng Ting had already heard from Chen Xu's previous words that Chen needed to make a beauty, but when she really said it from Chen Xu's mouth, she still inevitably felt a little abrupt.
However, Meng Ting didn't even shirk and said: "Sharing the worries of General Chen is what a little girl should do, and she is willing to obey General Chen's arrangement." ”
