Liu Yu, as the de facto ruler of the army of the Great Shun Dynasty, was very enthusiastic in his conversation with the Hui envoy Dadu.

There was a lack of sincerity in the enthusiasm of both sides, and Liu Yue knew that the Hui people wanted nothing more than to use the army of the Great Shun Dynasty to dominate the grassland, and in the face of interests, both sides would become enemies at any time. Liu Yu only regarded Dadu as an envoy sent by the enemy.

Liu Yu wanted to send Dadu back to the hotel, but Dadu lingered on Xiaohualou and didn't want to leave for the time being.

"Shunchao city, bustling. I heard that in the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, many great writers were born. Marquis Wuyi, can you accompany me here to appreciate the versatility of the Shun Dynasty? ”

Although Qinglou is not a specialty of the Central Plains, there is obviously no such feng shui treasure land on the grassland that can not only seek pleasure but also vassal elegance. Dadu looked to be in his twenties, young and vigorous, and when he came to the Central Plains, he naturally wanted to see something that he had only heard from books before.

For example, looking for flowers and asking willows.

Let Liu Yu, a marquis, accompany foreign envoys to visit the kiln, and the rumor will definitely be discredited. Liu Yu smiled and said: "Since Prince Dadu likes the culture of the Central Plains, why don't you go around Chang'an City in the next day and rest today?" ”

Dadu smiled with a deep smile on his face, and gestured: "It's right in front of you, wouldn't it be a pity not to look at it?" ”

Liu Yuxin said that this Dadu didn't understand the sophistication of the Central Plains people at all, Liu Yuming lacked enthusiasm for hospitality, but he was perfunctory in accordance with reason, but Dadu thought that Liu Yue was happy to be his guide to find flowers and ask willows.

"Since Prince Dadu is so insistent, then please!"

Liu Yuxin said that at a glance, this Dadu knew that Lu Dao was a womanizer. Shove him into a girl's room. At that time, he even saved the steps of sending guests back to the hotel.

Dadu walked out of the room accompanied by Liu Yu and Chai Jin. As soon as the door was opened, the silk and bamboo vocal music downstairs reached the ears tactfully, and Dadu couldn't help but praise: "Qingyang, bright...... Very nice to hear. ”

Sui Yi and others saw Liu Yu come out, got up to greet each other, even Sima Xuan'er recognized Chai Jin, the four horses, it was not unusual for Liu Yu and Chai Jin to come out together, or it may have been a chance encounter. But Liu Yu and Chai Jin also have a mustache wearing a beard next to them. It surprised a few of them.

"Hui Nineteenth Prince, Dadu." Liu Yu introduced Sui Yi and Li Mi.

"Hello, hello." Dadu greeted people with a smile on his face, "You are friends with Marquis Wuyi?" ”

"Yes, yes." Sui Yi learned from Dadu's strange tone and said, "Your Royal Highness, please take a seat." ”

Dadu warmly saluted Sui Yi, Li Mi and Sima Xuan'er, Sui Yi and Li Mi accepted it calmly, Sima Xuan'er looked a little nervous, she was just a civilian woman. But he was saluted by a foreign envoy or a prince, and he didn't dare to bear it.

"You men of the Central Plains. It's so beautiful. Dadu looked at Sima Xuan'er and said, "The girls on our grassland are not as good-looking as he was." ”

Sima Xuan'er was praised in public as "beautiful", her face turned red, and she was about to be exposed, Liu Yue hurriedly came out to play a round and said: "What Prince Dadu said is very true, we Central Plains people live in an impermeable stone house, which is not exposed to wind and sun. The weather in the Central Plains is not as ever-changing as the grassland, we are planting in spring and harvesting in autumn, and we will hide in stone houses after the cold in winter, and our skin is definitely better than that of you grassland people. ”

Dadu pondered the meaning of Liu Yu's words for a moment, and suddenly saluted: "Be taught, be taught." Wu Yihou's words are really thought-provoking, it seems that if you want my clan's life to be good-looking, you have to live in a stone house, plant in spring and harvest in autumn. No, it's spring and autumn grazing, not winter. ”

After Dadu finished speaking, he sat on the chair and stared intently at Liu Mei'er, who was performing downstairs, his eyes full of amazement and admiration. Sui Yi and Li Mi glanced at each other, and then looked at Liu Yu helplessly, probably asking where did you find this earth leopard. Liu Yu stepped forward and made a gesture from upstairs to downstairs, meaning to ask if he saw the emperor going down from here.

Sui Yi said in a low voice: "What does Brother Liu mean, this is invited by the emperor?" ”

Liu Yu made a gesture of silence, and at this time, Liu Meier stepped down after a dance, and Dadu reluctantly withdrew his gaze and looked at the three people who were gathering together to whisper.

"You Central Plains people, you're too polite." Dadu smiled, "Sit, sit, or I'll be embarrassed." ”

"Then sit down." Liu Yu cleaned up, Sui Yi and Li Mi were not restrained, they were originally officials, and they also knew the proportions of the officials when they received foreign envoys. But after all, Sima Xuan'er is just a companion today, and she has a special identity, so she is a little timid at this time.

"General Liu has guests here, so Kang Lan still went back first." Sima Xuan'er pulled Liu Yu's sleeve, and the youngest daughter's family said softly.

"It's fine." Liu Yu glanced at Dadu, who was talking to Sui Yi and Li Mi, and said disdainfully, "You just treat him as if he doesn't exist, and you will see that Liu Mei'er up close in a while, so as to determine whether she is Liu Liniang." ”

Sima Xuan'er thought that the purpose of Liu Yu inviting her here today was to recognize people. Recognizing people is today's business, but later there were branches, although she was timid and wanted to leave, but when she heard Liu Yu mention that Liu Mei'er, she nodded and said, "Everything is subject to General Liu's orders." ”

Sima Xuan'er sat beside Liu Yu stiffly, with her hands and feet together, not as free and easy as when she came. Liu Yu smiled at her as an encouragement, meaning to let her go a little, come to this kind of place, only free and easy men will not suffer.

The vocal music started again, and Liu Mei'er downstairs started the performance of the next dance, which attracted Sima Xuan'er's attention from the beginning of the preparation, because the drum set had been prepared on the stage, and what was about to be staged was also her best encouragement.

Since Liu Liniang created her own encouragement, and was performed by Sima Xuan'er at the palace banquet to make a name for herself, now inspiration has become a must for the dance performance of the entire Chang'an City aristocratic banquet. It's just because the level of dancers is uneven, and it is not easy for ordinary dancers to perform Liu Liniang and Sima Xuan'er's free and easy dancing, which makes the teachers of the singing and dancing workshop very jealous of Sima Xuan'er, and wants her to perform many times, but Sima Xuan'er refuses every time.

Dadu saw that the drum set was set up, turned his head to look at Liu Yu and asked, "Marquis Wuyi, what are they going to do?" Playing drums? ”

"It's not drumming, it's dancing on the drum." Liu Yu explained.

Dadu looked incredulous and said, "This is impossible. Those drums, very high, and unsteady, wobbly, what if they fall off them? ”

Speaking of this, Sima Xuan'er's face turned red again, and she lowered her head and peeked at Liu Yu again. To say that Sima Xuan'er and Liu Yu did not meet at the palace banquet, but because of that palace banquet, she fell off the drum rack, and the two became acquainted further. Liu Yu rescued her from death and saved her from death, which also changed her impression of Liu Yu, a gentleman.

Liu Yu smiled and said: "A dancer with good dancing skills will not fall off the drum." After a while, Prince Dadu saw it and knew it. ”

The finale is about to begin, and Liu Meier did not rush to jump on the drum set to start the performance, but asked the person who moved the drum set to carefully adjust the position of the drum set. For dancers of Liu Liniang and Sima Xuan'er, they can adjust their dance steps through the position of the drum set on the spot, but for some dancers who are not proficient in this way, the placement of the drum set must be exactly the same as the position she practices on weekdays, so as to reduce the possibility of deviation.

Taking advantage of the time before the finale opened, the old bustard of Xiaohualou asked the maid to bring refreshments, and came over with a smile on his face to apologize and admit his mistake. After all, if you can't get the forgiveness of Yin Sui Yi of Jingzhao Mansion, after Liu Meier's performance is over, she will be taken to Jingzhao Mansion for questioning. Nine times out of ten, there is no return.

Sui Yi faced the old bustard's pleading, put up the score, and said: "I said the old bustard, whether this prisoner is guilty or not is not up to the official. It's to see if she has committed a crime, the official has always been clear, if this Miss Liu is really innocent, then the official will definitely not embarrass her. If she is really guilty, the official will also do things officially, and will not be partial. ”

Sui Yi said this to fight to the end, to say that these beautiful and famous Qinglou women, which one was not the daughter of a big family who committed crimes? Only if they speak well will they be sought after by their guests. It is not easy for a woman from an ordinary civilian family to make a name for herself in the Fengyue Realm. The daughters of criminal officials, in the final analysis, are all guilty bodies, how can they say that they are innocent? Generally, if a Qinglou woman has a name, she is likely to be sold through the government and her status, either transferred to another Qinglou, or accepted by the powerful to be raised. This kind of thing is not uncommon.

The old bustard sighed after listening to Sui Yi's words, it seems that the cash cow he has worked so hard to cultivate cannot be saved.

When the old bustard went down, Dadu asked with a puzzled face: "This Sui Mansion Yin, why do you want to embarrass that old woman?" ”

Liu Yu explained: "It is not the old woman, but the person in charge of this green building, and all the girls here are under her jurisdiction. Of course, the security of the entire Chang'an City is also under the jurisdiction of Sui Mansion Yin. ”

"I see."

Dadu actually didn't understand it very well, but at this time, Liu Mei'er downstairs had already started an encouraging performance, so he didn't have the heart to listen to Liu Yu's explanation anymore, and looked at Liu Mei'er's divine dance intently again.

Other guests enjoy dancing, but they want to be quiet, and they can't just make noise to break the rhythm of the performance. But Dadu is different, he doesn't know what it means to be restrained, and he feels uncomfortable if his inner emotions are not vented. Seeing Liu Meier's body up and down as light as a swallow, he shouted loudly, applauding and applauding loudly, which not only made the guests look at each other angrily, but even Liu Meier, who was performing on the drum set, was almost distracted.

Liu Meier may have studied this encouragement day by day, and has not yet grasped its essence. Performing with trepidation, the average dancer will use some relatively low drum sets in order to pursue the stability of her posture. But Liu Meier studied Liu Liniang after all, and the drum set was not high enough to show her skills, so it was not surprising that she was disturbed by Dadu's shouting and screaming-

Liu Mei'er fell directly from the tallest and most unstable drum rack to the stage, just like Sima Xuan'er that day. (To be continued......)
