The Clam and Crane Controversy 5
Section V
The so-called dance party is probably a show for those gentlemen to relax and relax.
Wu Ming sat at the head of the third prince, holding a goblet and sipping wine without a sip. Looking at the young men and women dancing in pairs in the hall, I felt a little disdainful. Compared with the other three peoples, the Persians can be said to be an outlier. Most of these women are tall and fair-skinned, with a high nose bridge and deep blue eyes. Due to the climate, they are dressed very coolly, although they are covered with veils, but when they move, the gauze skirts flutter, looming, a large area of snow-white skin appears, which adds a little temptation.
He didn't know anyone, and because he was dressed shabbyly, no one cared for him. If he hadn't been at the same table with the third prince, the guards would have invited him out long ago.
On the contrary, the three princes are very popular, just like the owners of this place. Many young men and women form a team, and they have to run over to talk to him about everything, and what they say is nothing more than a scandal in the flower lane, a dog fight, a cockfight, etc., but these three princes are also bold, almost to the point of drinking, like drinking water, although the stamina of wine is not as good as that of liquor, but it can't stand him to do this, it didn't take long for him to shake, and even his tongue was bigger.
Wu Ming couldn't help frowning, a little skeptical that he should accompany him here this afternoon.
As soon as you drink too much wine, you will naturally say more. The third prince wiped a handful of sweat from the alcohol, and said with a big tongue: "Wu, Governor Wu, how is it, it's still lively, right?" ”
Wu Ming nodded: "It's okay." ”
Seeing the crowd boiling and the cups staggered, I was afraid that there would be hundreds of people. This lively word is deserved, although this kind of luxurious scene makes him unhappy, but Wu Ming is not willing to do anything against his will.
got Wu Ming's approval, and the third prince was very proud: "That's natural, Sister Mei Sana is not only beautiful, but even dances one in a million." Today is her birthday party again, how can young talents like us not participate? ”
Wu Ming glanced at the fat "young talent" opposite, a little speechless. Following his topic, he said, "By the way, since it's a birthday ball, will her father Mitra attend?" ”
"Naturally, Uncle Mitra is the most favored sister." After a pause, a mysterious smile suddenly shot out of his narrow eyes, and he said softly, "Uncle Mitra said that as soon as today's ball is over, he will choose a good companion for Sister Meishana." ”
Wu Ming couldn't help but look at the bustling surroundings, and was speechless for a while. This coming to Gehan is not just as simple as treating Zhu Yuqing, in addition, he has to consider marrying Esther, and add a fire to Persia as much as possible, instigating them to continue to put pressure on Nanban. But he has never set foot in Persia, and he doesn't know much about the customs and customs here, and the government of the imperial court, so how easy is it to do this? He was chased by Wu Gong in the Lil Shahai, and the grudge between the two was basically unresolved. In this way, in order to achieve the goal, the attitude of other people is important. After all, Esther's status is respected, whether it is a princess or a saint, she has to nod both politics and religion at the same time. That may be so unclear, abducting a country's pearl, and putting the country's face there? Where is the majesty of the Cult of God?
The two Persian dukes Wuhou, the Marquis of Yulong and the Marquis of Lang Jiao, were on the side of Duke Wen. And Duke Wen and Duke Wu are sworn enemies, in line with the principle that the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Wu Ming actually wanted to take this opportunity to make a friend of Gong Wen. can be engaged in it for a long time, but people are just blind date balls, so they are still here to make hair? Not to mention that he and Meisana don't know each other, even if they do, Wu Ming doesn't want to stay longer, counting Esther, who has given him a headache, it is three wives and one concubine, and the background of these wives is better than the other, and he really doesn't dare to think about it anymore.
He stood up and said, "In this case, may Your Highness return with a beautiful woman as soon as possible, and I will leave first." ”
The third prince also stood up and said hurriedly: "Oh, Governor Wu, sit down again." ”
He shouted a little loudly, and many people looked over to him. The third prince was startled, so he lowered his voice and pleaded: "Actually, in fact, I came to you in the afternoon to help me fight." ”
Wu Ming looked at this guy's chubby face, puzzled, and whispered, "Fighting?" ”
With his skills, if he really wants to leave, the three princes will definitely not be able to stop him. But he didn't want to fall out with this fat man, after all, it was a trouble for his identity to be exposed.
The third prince made a bitter face, nodded and said: "Yes, the second brother also likes Sister Meisana, he has the support of the martial arts, a large group of subordinates, and the fight is more ruthless than the other, I am afraid that he will bully me again today." It would be a shame to lose to him at the ball, and Sister Misana would ignore me even more. If she ignores me, I won't have a chance. He's going to marry his second brother, so what can he do? ”
And such things? Wu Ming's heart moved, and he was considering whether to accept it. At this time, an old man dressed in a splendid blue roe deer walked to the middle of the field and stood still, and said in a loud voice: "Everyone, listen to the old man." ”
This man is not only extremely tall, but also has a loud voice. There was a buzz all around, but it immediately fell silent. The old man continued: "Today is the day of the little girl, thanks to everyone's love, there is such a beautiful scene. Now the little girl is dancing a song to accompany the wine. ”
These Persians were born with different appearances, and their customs were also very different from those of the Eastern Han Dynasty, but they were similar to those of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Rao is Wu Ming has long been used to it, and at this time there is still a sense of absurdity that messes up time and space.
As soon as the old man's voice fell, a burst of sky-high applause suddenly sounded around him, and the third prince even said loudly: "Longhou go down quickly, let Sister Meishana come to power......"
Wu Ming glanced at the old man deeply, it turned out that he was Long Hou.
This was considered very rude, but Long Hou was not annoyed, nodded with a smile to this side, and then retreated. As soon as the person retreated, he heard a "bang", but it was the beat of a big drum.
The drum beat is known for its short and agitated sounds, but when this drum beats down, it is extremely long. The trills on the drum surface seem to be audible with your ears. With the beat of the drum, another burst of white mist rose, and five Persian girls dressed in green seemed to rise out of thin air and appeared in the white mist. They were all bare-eyed with snow-white jade feet, long veils, and silver skulls on their bare feet, dancing to the beat. The fog is white, lined with white jade-like skin, and the green shirt looks crisp and dripping. If it is drizzling, it is like spring returning to the earth.
Wu Ming was struggling with whether to leave, but he was also attracted by this superb dance skill and stopped moving. He had heard that Persian dance was a must in the world, but he was a little unimpressed before. In the past few years, he has been fighting in the north and south, and it is not unseen that he has not seen Persian dances, but it is mostly a glamorous dance of the caravan smiling for the visitors, although it looks a little tasteful, but it is a little cheesy after all. Esther could dance, but Wu Ming had never seen it. Zhu Yuqing is weak, even if he wants to dance, he is afraid that he will not have enough energy to spare. When Wu Ming returned from the southern expedition, she choreographed a song and dance for Wu Ming. I am used to listening to the soundtrack played by the pipa guqin, and this dance with the beat of the drum has a different taste.
The women were interspersed and staggered, and at this time they were already standing on the four corners, when suddenly a cloud of white smoke rose and covered all the qiē. When the smoke cleared, I saw a woman in a crimson dance dress in the middle, with a feather on her head, this woman's waist was as thin as a willow, revealing a round navel, and the dancing skills of the women in front were not weak.
At this time, the drum beat was a little slower, and in the low drum beat, her whole body seemed to be soft and boneless. She danced like a dream, and the joints of her body were as flexible as a snake, and she could writhe freely. A shiver passed from the tip of her left finger to her shoulder, and from shoulder to right fingertip. The silver chuan in her hand also vibrated with it, she was not deliberately pretentious at all, every movement was natural and smooth, like a white lotus out of the water.
Everyone was fascinated, although Wu Ming was not so unbearable, he was also attracted at this time. The big drums, snare drums, tambourine, and many other unknown drum sounds are all in harmony to form a rich but not cluttered movement. Wu Mingshi didn't expect that just one drum sound could play so many different postures.
"Bang" is another drum, this is another drum beat, the drum beat, the music is lower and denser, the fine drum sound, connected into a line, low as a thin silk, people worry that it will be unsustainable at any time, but it is so trembling constantly. The drums beat and the five women next to them began to move again. Their jade arms are stretched, and their pale yellow long skirts are stretched, like budding buds, sucking the slightest spring rain, and are slowly blooming. Suddenly, the drum beat high, the blooming lotus flower accompanied by bursts of ethereal clouds and smoke slowly flew into the nine heavens, and the girl in the pink gauze in the middle began to spin and dance, like a fairy, like a butterfly, like jasper. In the drizzle, more than a dozen green-clothed girls holding umbrellas were as delicate as green leaves. The wind blows the leaves, and the girl in red is like a lotus flower with dew, under the cover of green leaves, she is delicate and beautiful.
It's wonderful. Wu Ming couldn't help but secretly admire, but when he heard it, he panted like a cow, and turned his head to look, but it was the third prince who opened his mouth wide and stared at the woman in red. Saliva flows, and the statue of Brother Pig is really unbearable.
It seems that the woman in red who led the dance is probably Misana.
The dance was not too long, the drums were beating and the sound was getting quieter, and the five women were turning more and more slowly. At the end of the song, another puff of white smoke rises in the middle, and when the smoke clears, there is no one in the middle.
After the dance, there was a moment of silence, and then there was a burst of applause. The third prince was the most excited, jumped on the chair and clapped his hands and shouted, "It's good, it's really good." The dance is so good, and the people are good, so good! In the excitement, he was already a little incoherent.
The whereabouts of the three princes had been discovered by the Marquis of Long just now, but only now he had to come over. He walked over and saluted the three princes: "Third Highness, the minister Mitra is polite." Although he saluted, Long Hou glanced at Wu Ming.
"Master Hou is exempt." The third prince replied as if he was touching, but immediately regained his original appearance, and said impatiently: "Uncle Mitra, quickly call Sister Meishana out." ”
