Chapter 001: On the Plum Banquet
In the last years of the happy year, the Donglai Guoyunman Dance Workshop was the first dance workshop in Beijing.
The girls in the dance workshop are all sixteen or seventeen-year-old girls, and their bodies are light and swaying in the wind, among which Su Xue, the righteous daughter adopted by the owner, is prosperous.
Su Xue was abandoned since she was a child, it was in the winter of a certain year, there was heavy snow like goose feathers, and when the owner Su Ruoyu returned from the performance, he met an abandoned baby who was almost buried by the heavy snow on the road.
The baby's cry touched her heart, and she couldn't bear to be frozen to death, so she took her back, and the baby had nothing left on her except a jade pendant.
Su Ruoyu named the baby Su Xue and recognized her as a righteous daughter.
Since Su Ruoyu brought Su Xue back, she has watched her grow up from a baby waiting to be fed.
Seeing that Su Xue was getting more and more beautiful day by day, Su Ruoyu was also very happy in her heart.
And she found that Su Xue was very talented in dancing, so Su Ruoyu did her best to teach Su Xue.
When Su Xue was twelve years old, her outstanding appearance had spread all over the capital.
Therefore, there are countless people who propose marriage, including many dignitaries and nobles, but they were all rejected by Su Xue, so Su Ruoyu also followed her wishes.
That night, the mother and daughter talked in the house.
"Xue'er, it's your birthday in a few days, tell your stepmother what gift you want?"
Since Su Xue was picked up, Su Ruoyu loved her very much, because she didn't know her specific birthday, so she took the day she picked her up as her birthday.
"Xue'er doesn't want anything, she just wants to be by her stepmother's side all the time to fulfill her filial piety."
Su Xue is also true to her name, with snow-white skin and a voice as graceful and crisp as a lark.
"Silly boy, you'll be sixteen in a few days, it's time to find you an in-law."
"Mother-in-law..."
Su Xue lowered her head shyly.
"Haha, I'm still shy, tell my stepmother, do you have a favorite man?"
"Mother-in-law, I hate it, Xue'er ignores you."
After saying that, he ran away quickly.
When I returned to my house, I couldn't help but blush when I thought about my mother's words. Do you like the man?
Remembering what she met on the street that day, the white clothes fluttered like an immortal, and the silver mask on her face added to the mystery, and such a fairy-like figure had already left a mark on her heart.
Su Xue looked at the bright moon outside the window in a daze, "I don't know if there is a chance to see that son." ’
Early the next morning, someone from the palace came to convey the holy decree, and everyone in the Yunman Dance Workshop needed to come to receive the decree.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said, ten days later, the palace will hold a plum banquet, Yunmanfang is the first dance workshop, need to prepare all the interpretation matters for the banquet, there must be no mistake, Qin this."
"Yunmanfang received the order, long live the emperor, long live, long live."
Su Ruoyu took the holy decree from the eunuch's hand, and then took out a certain amount of silver and handed it to the eunuch.
"Father-in-law, I don't know that this plum banquet was held in spring in previous years, why is the plum banquet held in winter this year?"
"The owner doesn't know, this summer the national teacher doesn't know where to get a lot of plum trees, saying that this plum tree can bloom in winter, and the colors are beautiful, so as soon as the emperor is happy, let people prepare a plum banquet."
"I see, thank you father-in-law."
"If the owner is fine, the miscellaneous family will leave first and go back to the order."
"Father-in-law walks slowly."
After her father-in-law left, Su Ruoyu gathered all the girls in the dance hall to the hall.
"Girls, you all heard just now, this plum feast is only ten days away. You have been practicing hard these days, and when the time comes, you will shine at the banquet, maybe you can find a good home, have you heard? ”
Hearing the words of the owner, the girls in the hall were looking forward to it, fantasizing that there would be a rich boy who would take a fancy to him.
So Qi Qi replied, "I heard it." ”
"When you hear it, hurry up and prepare, and I'll let Aunt Sheng teach you a new dance later, hoping to make the emperor and the nobles happy at the banquet."
"Yes." One by one, the girls went down to prepare.
"Cher, you come with me." Su Ruoyu stopped Su Xue, who was about to go down.
Su Xue followed Su Ruoyu to the room, and Su Ruoyu took out a set of snow-white dresses and handed it to Su Xue.
"Go and try it."
Su Xue took the clothes and went behind the screen, and when she came out, a snow-white long skirt and snow-like skin set off each other, looking particularly holy, and the plum blossoms embroidered with silk at the bottom of the long skirt made this holiness a little more cold.
At this moment, Su Xue is like a fairy on an iceberg, and no one can blaspheme.
"Stepmother."
"It's so beautiful, it's like a heavenly immortal." Su Ruoyu couldn't help but praise.
"Stepmother, you have won the award, how can Xue'er's appearance be 1/10,000th of that of your stepmother?"
Su Ruoyu was originally a young lady in the Zongren Mansion, and when she was young, she was also the first beauty in the Donglai Kingdom, and at that time, whether it was the princes and ministers, the children of rich families, or even the royal family, they all went to the Zongren Mansion to ask for relatives.
However, the young and beautiful Su Ruoyu couldn't be looked down on by anyone, and she fell in love with a poor and sour talent.
Xiucai's name is Qin Feng, Qin Feng is full of wealth but his family is poor, when he first arrived in the capital, the only few taels of silver on his body were stolen, and finally he was seen by Su Ruoyu when he was begging along the street.
At first, Su Ruoyu saw that he was pitiful, so she found him a place to live, and gave him some silver to study in peace, and then was attracted by his talent, and finally the two made a private agreement for life.
But after Su Ruoyu's father found out about this, he put Su Ruoyu under house arrest at home and found someone to drive Qin Feng out of Donglai Kingdom.
Then Su Ruoyu knew about it, and left Su Mansion in a fit of anger, and created this Yunmanfang by himself, and finally became the first dance studio in Beijing after continuous efforts.
Although Su Ruoyu is old now, she is still beautiful, even compared to Su Xue, she is not inferior.
"Cher, this dress can be regarded as a birthday gift from your stepmother." Su Ruoxue looked at Su Xue with satisfaction.
"Thank you, stepmother."
"Xue'er, after your aunt's guidance is finished, you come to your stepmother, and your stepmother will teach you a "Hanmei Dance", and then you will wear this dress to dance."
"Yes."
"Yes, go ahead."
"Cher quit."
Su Xue came to the hall, and at this time, the other girls were already chatting in the hall.
"Aunt Sheng is here, Aunt Sheng is here."
I don't know who shouted, and the noisy hall suddenly fell silent.
Aunt Sheng is a dancer invited by the dance workshop, responsible for guiding the girls' dances every day, this person Sheng is strict, Yunmanfang can become the first dance workshop, Aunt Sheng is also indispensable.
"Are you all ready?" Aunt Sheng came to the hall with several other aunts, looked at everyone, and then asked.
"Ready." The girls returned in unison.
"Okay, the owner has already told me, and then my aunts and I will teach you a new dance, please take it seriously."
After saying that, without saying much, several aunts began to dance a new dance.
"Wow, that's pretty."
"It's beautiful."
......
The girls couldn't help but admire the dance of the aunts.
"Do you all remember?" After the dance, Aunt Sheng looked at everyone and asked.
But the girls all look at me, I look at you, and no one answers.
"Are you all dumb? Do you all remember, I ask? Aunt Sheng saw that no one answered, so she asked loudly again.
"Remembered."
Only Su Xue's voice remembered.
Aunt Sheng looked at Su Xue with satisfaction and said, "Well, it's good." ”
