However, one of the biggest weaknesses of the dulcimer compared to the pipa is that there are fewer techniques available, and the sound is not as crisp as the pipa.

Of course, there are many advantages, such as higher difficulty, grandiose sound, suitable for background music, to accompany other forms of music.

Then Dong Xiaowan must grasp the strengths of the pipa and give full play to it.

In order to be more in line with today's performance, Dong Xiaowan used black and brown eyeshadow to delicately outline the tail of the eyes thin and long, and then used a white oil pen to draw a branch and leaf vein between the eyebrows, showing grace.

I picked a set of Luo skirts similar to Hanfu, with a deep coat inside and a robe outside, but it is not the same as the real Hanfu, after all, more than a thousand years have passed, and I can't find a pure Hanfu.

For example, the material is no longer cotton and linen, but silk and tulle that accentuate the female figure, with an all-over white and red gradient, and the bottom of the skirt is embellished with some bright green.

It is like a lotus flower blooming against the backdrop of green leaves, clean and elegant.

Dong Xiaowan also imitated the hairstyle of the Han Dynasty in her hair, combing her hair back and curling it into a bun, and inserting some step shakes and flower hairpins on her head as decorations, which particularly highlighted her elegant temperament.

For this performance, Mama Liu went to Dong Xiaowan early to find a good pipa, which is made of the most precious ivory, the mountain pass, the six phases and the phoenix neck are all bright and white, and the age is very old, it is the posthumous work of Feng Rao, the master of the pipa of the previous dynasty, which can be met but not obtained.

Before Dong Xiaowan got on the sedan chair, the girls of the Qinlou Chu Pavilion who had already performed on both sides of the Qinhuai River had swam across the street.

After all, not every girl has the opportunity to perform on stage. But it doesn't hurt to seize the momentum of this Oiran selection and let the girls of your family come out and see the world in advance.

Along with the girls, there are also lion dancers from north to south, and there is a lion dance team on each side.

As the firecrackers crackled, the lion dance shook its head and tail towards the hydrangea, and slowly swam south with the sound of gongs.

The river was full of boats and boats, so many that they couldn't swim at all, so everyone came in advance to take their seats and stood still, waiting for the girls to perform on stage.

The few days of choosing the oiran are the days when the merchants on both sides of the Qinhuai River make the most money, including small stall vendors, those who sell sugar gourds, those who knead noodles, as well as those who stir sugar hearts, change faces, and open teahouses, and all businesses are booming.

There are so many customers that there are only things that cannot be bought, and there is nothing that cannot be sold.

With the gong in his hand sounded as he beat the watch, the hour had come, and it was time for the girls to set off.

A red sedan chair set off from the west, north and south of the Qinhuai River at the same time, and the people around broke out into strong cheers.

The main event is coming!

One after another, the sedan chair slowly fell on the side of the stage, and with the sound of a gong, the sedan chair of the nine girls was lifted together, and out of the fairy-like dazzling beauties lined up in front of the sedan chair in turn, very pompous.

"There are two rooms behind the stage for the girls to rest their feet and get dressed, so please come with me." On the left side of the palanquin appeared a well-behaved woman, probably in her early twenties, guiding the girls.

The girls nodded in unison and followed the woman to the back room.

Before entering the house, Dong Xiaowan also looked at the stage again.

Except for the two bungalows behind the stage, there are five high chairs in the direction of the stage, which should be the place where the son and the Oiran who have ten voting rights in their hands are sitting.

Behind the five high chairs is a large empty field, and there are no stools or signs, according to Dong Xiaowan's guess, it should be the spectators who came to watch after entering the arena standing here to watch their performances.

Dong Xiaowan suddenly felt a little sympathetic to these spectators, not only did she have no place to sit, but if she was short, wouldn't she be blocked by others and wouldn't be able to see the performance at all.

Dong Xiaowan also has a plan in her heart, that is, when performing on this stage, the voice is very important, not only to express it clearly, but also to be loud, so that all the spectators in the audience can hear it.

Because it was the first time for Dong Xiaowan to come, she looked nostalgically in front of the door for a while, and then heard a girl in front of her laugh shamefully: "Standing there with eyes and eyes to show people, it's really going to do everything." ”

Dong Xiaowan didn't pay attention to these girls just now, and she didn't know who said this sneer.

I had to persuade myself not to worry about these little girls, but I was not confident enough in my heart, and I just relied on sarcasm to make others feel good.

Originally, the main candidate for an Oiran like herself was bound to be targeted, Dong Xiaowan had already done a good job of psychological construction, so she naturally disdained it.

Left behind, separated by some distance from the other girls, slowly walking on his own.

The spectators haven't entered the venue yet, so why are you in such a hurry to rest, her last performance, there is time to rest.

There are two rooms, one for changing clothes and one for everyone to sit and rest.

The girls had come in a change of clothes, and although they didn't want to, the nine of them sat somewhat cramped in the resting room, forced to socialize.

Generally, the sisters who came out of the same Qinlou Chu Pavilion are naturally closer, because they have had a lot of contact in the past, and it is also normal.

It's like Dong Xiaowan's side, on the left hand side are Chunhua and Qiushi, and on the right hand side is the enchanting girl who has no Qinlou Chu Pavilion to rely on.

In addition, Shuang'er and Sai'er sat together, their faces were very arrogant, they didn't speak, they didn't move, they hugged their arms, and their expressions were faint.

The three girls of the Lefang Division, Liu'er, Zheng'er and Mengxin, are young, and they are all from the Lefang Division, and their personalities are more lively, and they get together like three little sparrows, talking and laughing non-stop.

On the other hand, Dong Xiaowan and Chunhua, Qiushi, or Enchanting were all a little embarrassed and had nothing to say, but the three of them sat the most restrained.

Enchanting is older, and she is more proficient in human affairs, in order to alleviate the embarrassment, she took the initiative to talk to Dong Xiaowan: "Miss Dong, I heard that you only came back from the capital the day before yesterday, right?" It's hard. ”

Dong Xiaowan faced the kindness of the enchanting initiative to talk, and she had no intention of splashing cold water on others.

In her bones, she still hopes to make friends with more people: "Yes, but it's not hard enough." ”

"I heard that the bewitching girl didn't rely on any Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and on her own, she has come to this point."

The bewitching speech is not as aggressive as her appearance, but is extraordinarily gentle: "Miss Dong praised it falsely, but it was just a few sons." ”

"It's Miss Dong, you are really talented, and I have heard a lot of interesting stories about you recently."

Dong Xiaowan did not reply immediately.

Judging from people's talents according to interesting facts, it is really interesting to be enchanting......

It seems that everyone is really talking about some scenes in order not to be embarrassed, and they obviously don't have their brains. It's just a matter of putting together the information I've gotten about this person and talking nonsense.

However, Dong Xiaowan only smiled and didn't break it.

After all, she and Enchanting don't know each other very well, and it's just some scenes, it's just a mistake to talk quickly for a while, and Enchanting shouldn't mean it, and maybe she doesn't even realize the problem.
