Chapter 68: Mourning
Suddenly, dazzling balls of flame lit up in the night sky, illuminating eight women dressed in dance costumes. They were so comfortable playing with the fireballs, not caring about the danger in people's eyes, and flew from the tips of each water pavilion to the central water pavilion. The white yarn is fluttering, the neon dress is amazing, like a flying fairy. Wherever it flies, the stars flow with golden threads.
Eight people fell to the top of the treasure of the Water Pavilion, threw a fireball on the eaves, bang, bang, fireworks burst out above, and it was magnificent. The women moved gracefully and flew and landed on the white jade. Silk music starts, the bell swings leisurely, and the women dance to the sky.
Lan Sheng sighed, the third scene of the exquisite water pavilion - flowing gold and flying immortals, deservedly the name.
Mrs. Duo also praised it, "How these dancing girls fly in the air, how they jump off the top of the sky, and how they can dance fireballs are really wonderful, beautiful, unheard of, and unseen." β
Bai Huzhou raised his eyebrows proudly, "The heavenly machine must not be leaked." β
The old lady smacked him, "Don't listen to him, I've seen so many scenes, I can roughly understand." There must be a mechanism on these nine water roofs that can raise and lower the wires and hang the dancers to fly through the water. As for the extra fireballs this time, most of them were juggling among his fox friends and dogs. It looks scary, but it's actually very safe. Also, his big water pavilion has a lot of tricks, and there is a dark room when the stone slab is lifted, which can hide thirty or forty people. The dancers have their own way of answering when they jump. β
Lan Sheng secretly agreed, but when he heard the dark room, he was stunned, and his phoenix eyes narrowed.
Bai Huzhou behaved in front of the old man, "How can you say it so lightly, there are many ways in it, I don't know how much effort it took me to invite many masters." That's why it's so wonderful. β
"No matter how wonderful it is, you will get tired of watching too much. If I do this on my birthday next year, I won't come if anyone asks me. β
It turned out to be a birthday celebration.
Bai Huzhou coughed, "I don't turn over tricks in a year, you can't look at it." But you can't look at it, and others can't look at it. The Queen Mother-"Clear your throat again," the Queen Mother said to the old man, there have been many natural disasters in the past two years, and the people have suffered, so they must be thrifty. Next year you don't come. Save me money. β
"Yu'er, her mother. See? It's naΓ―ve to say anything about raising children to prevent old age, I raised this kid, it's too expensive to celebrate my birthday once a year, don't worry about the marriage of your son and daughter. I don't appreciate it. The bad ones have to be complained. In the end, I was sad. The old lady took the dish handed by the big girl, and ate one bite after another, "Only this dish is to my liking." β
Bai Huzhou shouted that he was wronged. Mrs. Duo didn't have time to laugh. The warmth that I didn't feel at home. I felt it in this strange place. Lan Sheng smiled lightly, it's good to take a look, lest her blood continue to get cold, and she will eventually become a "lonely weirdo".
A steward yelled and shouted outside the pavilion for the boss.
Bai Huzhou wanted to go out to listen, but the old lady also wanted to listen, so she had to call someone in to talk.
"Originally, there were six teams on board, but one of them suddenly quit, so let's ask the boss, is this going to be done, or is there another team temporarily?" The steward kept his head down tightly and did not look up at the woman.
"I said something good three months earlier, which team won't do it?" Bai Huzhou has an opinion.
The steward replied, "The team that Tianxuan Dao cooperated with Qingxin Pavilion refused to get on the ship anyway because the Tianxue Fairy was frightened. Qingxin Pavilion said that it was good to get two people, the fairy was not up, her junior brother refused to go up, and Tianxuan Dao alone definitely couldn't. β
Bai Huzhou frowned, "This Tianxue Fairy is squeamish, one less team is one less team, where can I make up people temporarily?" However, there is one less ship on the eastern front, and it is broken by the six numbers of Geely. β
The steward will have to retreat.
"Wait." The old lady had a different idea, "Wouldn't it be bad for you to break into a thief here today, no matter how bad you are?" Just make it up. β
"Grandma doesn't know how to say that Kao today is different from the past, and it is a team winning system. A team of three people, each showing a talent, respectively painting, dancing, singing or music, one person's mistake will affect the most difficult victory. Moreover, the winner is rewarded handsomely. Because there are many people who apply for the election, a good number of people have been eliminated before, if you make it up casually, I am afraid that some people will not be convinced. "Baihu Boat is embarrassed and reasonable.
"What reward?" Mrs. Duo asked.
"You can get a thousand taels of gold, one place for the personal disciple of the head of Tianxuan Dao, and the master of the Yunhai Sword Sect will protect it for one yearββ"
"I-" Nanyue Ling, who had been eating since she entered the table, raised her head violently, still holding a mouthful of meat in her mouth, but she desperately tugged at Lan Sheng's sleeve and shouted, "Let her be mourned!" β
What? Lan Sheng didn't understand, but he felt that the black pressure on his head was rolling dark clouds, ominous!
The old lady's eyes flashed with shrewdness, and she smiled, "That's it." β
Bai Huzhou understands that women don't understand children, and is as confused as Lan Sheng, so he naturally wants to ask, "What should I do?" β
Nan Yueling, who was holding the dog's meat, swallowed the thing and said clearly, "I'll make it up with her." "She" pointed to Lan Sheng.
Lan Sheng really wants to give the ball a kick and make up for it? What to make up? She has talent but no art. Than oil painting, she has no problem. Than a zombie jump, she's fine; It's more ridiculous than ridiculous, and she's fine.
Grinning at the host and distinguished guests, Chong Nan Yueling gritted his teeth and squeezed the words, "I-no-will." β
"It's a woman who can sing and dance, and I'll draw it." The only art he can master is calligraphy and painting.
Bai Huzhou saw the vicious face of her sister who wanted to strangle her younger brother, and she was considerate, "Grandma, Niece Lan seems to be embarrassed, it's best not to force her, no matter how you say it, she is also a famous lady." "The women who can get on the boat today are either the ones who eat the food of talent, or they are from the rivers and lakes, and the last is the young woman.
"Most of the visitors are daughters' homes, what is taboo? This time, the choice of Kao is rare and meaningful, so I just say okay. The old lady became very interested, "The three of them are the flower king, the painting is the flower soul, the dance is the flower shape, and the song music is the flower rhyme, which is interesting!" Lan Sheng girl. β
was named, Lan Sheng should be.
"Your team represents the Linglong Water Pavilion, if you win, Boss Bai will add another reward, go ahead." It's hard to say.
Bai Huzhou smiled bitterly, instructed the steward to lead the people, let him explain the rules clearly, and then apologized to Lan Sheng, "Niece Lan, just coax the old man to be happy and have a good time." β
Although Lan Sheng frightened Nan Yueling's hand, he had another thought after calming down. The steward said the Eastern Front, and the Qingfeng Arrow she saw flew on the Eastern Front, and the two may be related. If she can get on the boat, she can find out. And Bai Huzhou also said that he should make people happy, and there will be no danger on the night of the wolf howl. As for winning or losing, the importance of carrying forward the Olympic spirit is participation.
Thinking about it, his mouth also said good, "My niece can't recognize a good uncle in vain, the grandmother who raised you is also the grandmother of the niece, and she is willing to go up and offer ugliness." β
Mrs. Duo said, "This girl is a filial child. β
Nan Yueling grabbed her neck with both hands and choked. Filial piety child?
Lan Sheng laughed silently, slapped the ball a few times viciously, and pulled him away with the steward.
Bai Huzhou looked at the old lady.
The old lady glared at him, "Look at what I'm doing?" β
"People are wronged enough, obviously she is the eldest daughter, and as soon as she was born, she made you lose the title of the eldest lady, and she left home for many years because of the rivalry between adults. I finally came back, but I had to be disgusted. Treat Nanyue's daughter like a fairy, and let her do it to see how good it is, so I recognized her niece. Bai Huzhou sighed.
The old lady did not respond, but gossiped with Mrs. Duo.
The steward who led Lan Sheng and Nan Yueling said to the Kao Society, "Three people in a team, divided into east and west boats, and the end point is to the water pavilion, first east and then west, you are the fifth team." The face should be facing south, as the guests sit facing north. Painting is a must, the theme is flowers. Songs, dances, and music are the best choices. The paintings will be sent to the guests for judging, and then the boat will be on the shore porch, and the guests will throw the hairpins to their favorite team, and the winner is the one with the most hairpins. β
No wonder Hyun Ran asked her for a flower hairpin. Now that she is a participant, she can find a reason not to vote for him. This is called "Seon lost his horse, how do you know if it is a blessing"?
Walking on the shore porch, I saw the shadow of the fragrant clothes in those small protruding porch rooms. The lake is bright, the corridors are dim, and the inside can see the outside clearly, and the outside can't see the inside clearly. Lan Sheng admired the ingenuity of Bai Huzhou, and thought that there might be a few friends among these bold invited women.
The lake was small, and it didn't take a few steps to get to the head of the bridge, and the steward pointed to a willow tree and said that it was there. However, there should have been a disciple of Tianxuan Dao, but there was no one at the moment.
The steward sweated again, thinking about how the team he was in charge of was actually in trouble. was wiping his sweat, and his eyes saw a shadow that only straightened up after pushing the boat, his eyes rolled around, he smiled a little treacherously, and immediately called people up.
The shadow dwarf is tall, the lantern on the willow tree illuminates him, the expression of the iceberg is cold and stonely, he is dressed in a coolie shirt tied to his waist, and a pair of straw sandals are on his feet. Does this gold-selling waterhouse have a requirement for coolies' appearance?
"Chai Ghost, the boss said, this team is formed by our Linglong Water Pavilion. Don't you like to fiddle with that broken drum bell in the middle of the night? This steward gives you a chance to perform, and if you lose, I will beat you to death! The steward turned his head to Lan Sheng but put on a big smile, "Miss, don't look at this kid's clumsiness, he is still quite capable." I've got to go back to the steward as soon as the people settle down, don't you think? β
"Why do you ask me again when the steward has a mind in his heart? Just talk to your boss. Lan Sheng sneered.
The steward didn't hear it in his ears, but when the gong started there, he couldn't chew it properly, and walked away quickly.
"Find someone to do chores for us, who are you bullying!" Nanyue Ling was greedy for a reward, the reward for the number of disciples of the head of the Tianxuan Dao, so he wanted to win from the bottom of his heart, but he looked at the other two groups of people, and shrank behind Lan Sheng.
Although Lan Sheng didn't care about winning or losing, he asked, "What are you doing?" β
"I don't compare." His head makes Lan Sheng stupid, right? How did you think that painting skills were overwhelming?
Lan Sheng picked up his ear, this kid was beaten up, "Who said that you were sorry just now?" I'm afraid now, it's too late. β
"I see Master Boyan." Seeing Lan Sheng's idiotic expression of not knowing the great painter, Nan Yueling hurriedly pouted forward, "His painting is a hundred gold, and someone is rushing to ask for it." The child with long eyes and head is his son Boxi, a prodigy in the imperial capital, the same age as me, who can do everything in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. "It can't be compared.
Lan Sheng looked over, what Bo Yan Boxi she didn't know, but the three princes of the mustache were too famous, and they couldn't help but know-
Seeking powder, seeking ordering, seeking all kinds of support, never stopping!
At the same time, thank you all and never stop thanking! (To be continued......)
