Chapter 103: Rehearsal

It was very difficult to organize a banquet in five days, after all, many things in this era had to be done manually, and she had just arrived for almost two days just to familiarize herself with the local customs and sort out her interpersonal relationships.

The good thing is that the great help of the brothers and sisters of the He family, as well as the materials sent by the Su family, allowed her to successfully arrange the garden for hospitality.

The place of hospitality is chosen in the water pavilion between the east and west courtyards. The place is large enough to have a wide view, and even better is the view of the academy on the top of the hill from the waterfront water pavilion.

Girls are actually quite gossipy, just like men like to see women's beauty, they will also communicate privately about whose husband's style is good. The flow of handsomeness makes people's hearts beat.

Another reason for choosing the water pavilion is that the layout there is a bit of a catwalk. In the middle is the nine-curved bridge leading to the third of the lake, which is dotted with lotus leaves on both sides. On both sides of the road are two water pavilions, one high and one low.

Girls who are afraid of water can choose to enjoy the performance on the Jiuqu Bridge in the pavilion on the high place, and girls who like to feed fish can play in the water pavilion.

Both places were incense early and insect repellent powder was sprinkled along the sutures of the feet.

Embroidered stools were placed at every corner of the bridge, and the girls who were invited to play and sing were informed of their positions in advance, and when they arrived, they sat down in order.

They had never performed like this before, each of them at a certain distance, not disturbing each other, and being able to observe the movements of their companions in time.

"Do you arrange them like this, do you let them taste the fabric from such a long distance?"

If you want to taste it, shouldn't you get as close as possible, and it's best to touch it?

"Of course not. The tasting is to listen to the snow building, and the Jiuqu Bridge is to watch the costume performance. ”

"What costume show?"

"Didn't I ask you to find a needlework before? I asked them to hurry up and sew more than a dozen sets of dresses with different styles, and the girls from Dongfeng Pavilion came to perform. ”

Wei Jin immersed himself in writing and drawing, and answered Wei Zhan's questions by the way.

"Those girls come from different backgrounds, and they come from a variety of places. The clothes I asked the needlewomen to sew were also decided based on their advice. The girls who come to perform can choose their favorite clothes, and everyone has half a pillar of incense to perform, singing and dancing instruments. ”

"What are you doing with this complication?"

"Do business!" Wei Jin replied naturally, "You don't really think that I went south with you just to play, right?" I bought a lot of fabrics and accessories along the way, just to do that. But I didn't think about doing it here before, I thought I would stay in Taizhou for a while longer, and I thought I was getting acquainted, so I asked my aunt to help me get some opportunities to show it. ”

"No, I don't quite understand what you're doing like that."

Wei Jin put down the pen and looked at Wei Zan with one hand on his cheek: "Do you know? In this world, women and children make the best money. ”

Starting from Taizhou, there are more and more people who marry with the Central Plains and the North, but there is a big difference between the north and the south, and many southern girls have never been to the north in their lives, and they don't know what the girls in the north like to wear, eat, and do. What Wei Jin wants to do today is to show them.

"Tomorrow is the official banquet, but the girls of Dongfeng Pavilion have arrived early this morning and are starting to rehearse. If Brother Azan has time, why don't you go and see it and give me some tips. ”

Tomorrow is a female guest who will come to the door, and he and Young Master He will definitely not show up, so they will not be able to see what this so-called performance looks like. Wei Jin's "request" actually wanted him to open his eyes.

"Sister Jin, I want to go and see too, can you call my eldest brother along?"

Miss He San, who was playing with Wei Jue next to her, quickly interjected, and did not forget to seek benefits for her eldest brother.

"Let's do it together." Turning his head and ordering someone to invite Young Master He, Wei Jin took them to Hanyuan first.

In two or three days, Hanyuan has changed greatly. Originally, there were only green trees, but now there are more flowers on both sides, and colored balls made of colored silk are also hanging sporadically on the trees.

"What's that?"

"This color ball is exquisite." Wei Jin summoned someone to take one and handed it to Wei Zhan, "It's a little heavier than an ordinary colored ball, but it's smaller." Small bells are sewn in these places, and they will ring when they are thrown. ”

With the shaking of her hand, the little colored ball really made a bell sound.

"Girls don't have much entertainment, these can be used to play, three or five friends or sisters, drumming and passing flowers, dodgeball, you can figure out how to play by yourself."

After that, she took the ball and threw it to her sister, Sihua'er smiled and reached out to catch it, and then threw it to Miss He San. The third lady was caught off guard and hugged the colored ball with an oops.

said that it is heavy, but in fact, it is about the same weight as a small sandbag, and there is a bell to remind when it is thrown, so it will not really take advantage of people's unpreparedness to hit people's heads and bleed.

After Miss He San hugged the ball, she immediately understood the way to play, and threw it directly to Wei Zhan, but threw it to Wei Zan with a backhand.

Seeing Wei Zan catch it thrillingly, the three girls giggled.

"Most of the girls don't like sports, but it's not good for your body to not exercise at all, and the amount of dodgeball is enough. If you are older, you don't like to make such a fuss, you can use colored balls to beat the drum and pass the flowers, and the loser may chant poetry or play the piano, which is another kind of liveliness. ”

What's so fun about holding a fan and fluttering butterflies every day? If you kick the shuttlecock, some people are born with poor motor balance, and they fall down before they can lift their feet.

Asked people to put the colored balls back in their place, and they continued to walk towards Hanyuan. As soon as I arrived at the Jiuqu Bridge in Hanyuan, I saw Young Master He coming from the opposite side.

At this time, there are more than 20 girls on the Jiuqu Bridge, and there are already people sitting in the ten fixed performance positions, and the rest are in the water pavilion at the end of the bridge.

The water pavilion is surrounded by a five-fold yarn, and from the inside out, the color of the light yarn gradually lightens. A screen is used in the middle to enclose a safe space for the girls to clean up their clothes and makeup.

The area of the water pavilion is not small, and it is slightly separated by light yarn, and two channels on the left and one on the right are artificially created. The girls come out of the left passageway, walk back and forth along the Jiuqu Bridge, and then perform on the small platform connected to the Jiuqu Bridge by the Water Pavilion. After the performance, leave on the right and return to the water pavilion to change clothes.

"There are not many girls in Dongfeng Pavilion who can perform, only six, and we have a total of ten sets of clothes, so this design can give the girls more time to change their clothes."

The position they were standing in was in a pavilion on a high platform, and the view from above was not bad.

The eldest lady of Dongfeng Pavilion had sharp eyes, and saw that the third lady of the Wei family led people to the pavilion, and after a while, she led the two most famous girls in Dongfeng Pavilion to visit.

To Wei Jin's surprise, the two top girls in Dongfeng Pavilion were actually twins!
