Chapter 199: A Dance Falls into the City
Jiang Liuli had already discovered her before she approached Ming Xia, but Lan Tingxuan's embrace was so warm that she didn't want to get up, so she could only continue to snuggle in his arms as she pretended not to know.
If there is anything at the dinner party, let them make their own decisions, she can't worry about everything, otherwise there will be no leisurely days.
Originally, he started to eat before it was dark, but today it was almost dark and there was still no kitchen to pass the word, Lan Tingxuan thought that it was not ready, so he didn't ask.
The sky gradually darkened, Jiang Liuli pulled Lan Tingxuan to the backyard, he followed him for some reason, I don't know what to do in the backyard at night?
When he walked into the backyard and saw a stage set up in the open space, and the surrounding decorations were more festive, he was stunned, and he didn't know what this meant.
Five large round tables were set up in front of the stage, and anyone who was not on duty could sit at the table and watch the performance and dine with them.
"Ruri, what is this for?" He looked at Jiang Liuli on the side suspiciously, at this moment, he still hadn't remembered his birthday.
"Fool, you can forget your birthday." Jiang Liuli smiled helplessly, she didn't even think of her birthday until now, how much she didn't value herself.
"My birthday?" Lan Tingxuan suddenly looked around, and after thinking about it carefully, he realized that today was indeed his birthday.
"Did you invite a troupe?" He looked at the stage, and then at the big round tables, didn't he just invite the troupe to sing? Also invited guests? But it's so late, why didn't anyone come?
"I didn't invite a troupe, I just let my family perform a few shows to make it lively." Jiang Liuli shook her head, she didn't like outsiders to come to the house.
"Liuli, in fact, you don't have to worry so much, we can have a meal together as a family." Seeing her bothering so much about her birthday, I was still very moved, but more than that, I didn't want her to be burdened.
"These are all prepared by others, I am just supervising, I don't have to bother." She said with a smile that except for helping with the rehearsal, everything else was done by others.
"For the sake of my birthday, I really shouldn't let my family work hard." He looked around and said apologetically, it must have taken a lot of effort to prepare for this.
"They'll be happy to." Jiang Liuli squinted and looked around, and those who wanted to refute immediately disappeared, afraid that his sigh would be too loud, and it would be over if Lan Tingxuan heard it.
In fact, they don't mind celebrating Lan Tingxuan's birthday, but what makes them embarrassed is to perform a show, which is too difficult for people who have no artistic cells.
Jiang Liuli saw that no one objected, and the sad expression on his face instantly became happy, and he smiled with satisfaction, if they dared to complain, they would definitely want them to look good.
Although she asked everyone in the house to prepare a show, she didn't plan to let them all perform on stage, in that case, there would not be enough time, and more importantly, some people's performances were too perfunctory, such as performing to eat, performing to drink, and eating when they came on stage.
She chose more than a dozen performances from them, most of which were very ordinary sword dance performances, and they were not ornamental at all.
So, she took the trouble to arrange some sketches, for the 21st century, she can amuse everyone by copying a classic sketch casually.
She saw that the surroundings were ready, so she invited Lan Mu to come over, prepared a feast, and waited for the meal to be almost used before starting the performance.
Although other people's troupes invite opera troupes at noon, she just wants to be different, hanging a lot of lanterns in the yard at night, and then putting a lot of candles, which looks very beautiful from a distance.
After the meal was almost done, the stage began to be lively, and the first one to come on the stage was Ruolan, in addition to her swordsmanship, her piano skills are also very powerful.
The sound of the piano instantly ignited everyone's enthusiasm, and the next performances became more and more hard, including a few people who didn't want to participate in the sketch performance.
When Jiang Liuli first found a few people to perform sketches, no one was willing, she was caught by her, if there were no funny shows, then this dinner would not be very interesting.
For her, the most classic sketches are naturally the works of Uncle Benshan, when she saw their performances at that time, even if she was not a person who loved to laugh, she would be amused, not to mention that the ancients were so old, she would naturally be attracted by these funny sketches.
Sure enough, as soon as a few sketches came out, everyone present was amused, even Gong Changqing, who had a very low laugh, was amused, and seeing everyone laughing so happily, Jiang Liuli felt very satisfied.
Those who have just performed on stage have gone from being stiff to now playing freely, and even letting go of everything, doing their best to make everyone happy, such a performance is the most moving.
Originally, these people felt that it was a shame to perform a sketch on stage, and they also protested, but they were all suppressed by her eyes, so they could only obediently obey the arrangement.
Mingyue was a little reluctant at first, but later it can be regarded as releasing herself, and her performance is getting more and more in place, whether it is her expression or the joke, she is in place, which also makes others gradually let go of themselves, throw away the so-called face, and make themselves look funny.
After a burst of laughter, Jiang Liuli's finale performance finally came, everyone waited with bated breath for her appearance, and even the secret guards hiding in the shadows focused their eyes on the stage, of course, they also stayed awake when watching the performance.
Her performance was the finale, so it was arranged at the end, and when Lan Tingxuan was fascinated by watching the play, she quietly left, returned to the room, and changed into the clothes that had been prepared for a long time.
This time she planned to dance, but she hadn't practiced for a long time, and she was a little rusty, so she practiced hard during this time, which made her more satisfied, but she hadn't achieved the results she wanted.
When Lan Tingxuan came back to his senses, he found that Jiang Liuli beside him was gone, looked around, and didn't find her figure, thinking that something had left him, but he never thought that she still had a big gift to give him.
After Jiang Liuli was ready, Ruolan took the piano and walked up to the stage and sat in the corner and began to play slowly, and suddenly a vine swing came over the empty stage, and Jiang Liuli was sitting on it, slowly falling.
Everyone was stunned when they saw her dress, and the makeup she painted today is still plum blossom makeup, this time it is much richer than the makeup she painted when she got married, so it looks even more amazing and beautiful.
She was wearing a red dress, which added a touch of charm, and looking at Lan Tingxuan, who was amazed by herself, she felt a burst of satisfaction.
The swing that landed slowly was completed by all means, but it still required some manpower to pull it to land from the sky, which was really a bit of a hassle.
After Jiang Liuli landed, she got off the swing and began to dance slowly with the sound of the piano, the movements seem simple, but it takes a lot of physical strength and flexibility to show it perfectly, her movements are as smooth and supple as flowing water, every movement is very beautiful, and the beauty makes people reluctant to blink their eyes.
After the piano ended, her dance was also coming to an end, and the last perfect spin sat on the ground, looking at the bright moon in the sky, and felt a sense of relief in her heart, she had not danced so heartily for a long time, but unfortunately she had just found the feeling, but it was over.
After the dance, she looked at the audience, everyone looked fascinated, and rolled her eyes speechlessly, it was just a dance, as for being so shocked?
The first to react was Lan Tingxuan, he looked at Jiang Liuli affectionately, for this banquet, she was already busy enough, and even prepared such a big gift for herself, her heart was like eating honey, sweet, but with a hint of distress.
Jiang Liuli came to the stage, and everyone followed her to shift their gaze, seeing her standing still in front of Lan Tingxuan, staring at the two of them more closely, for fear that they had missed something.
Although they are ancients and their thinking is relatively conservative, this does not prevent them from gossiping, even if they know that Jiang Liuli's gossip will be sweet to death, they still want to see it.
"Tingxuan, happy birthday. She stood in front of Lan Tingxuan and smiled gently, for him, she could be said to have let go of everything, even her own taboos, dances that she had never touched, danced and spun for him again.
"Thank you, Ruri." He was moved to hold her hand, although he wanted to hug her, but there were too many people, it was better to be reserved.
"Fool, say thank you to me." Jiang Liuli smiled happily when she saw the emotion and happiness in his eyes, and now for her, his happiness is the source of her happiness.
Lan Tingxuan was so moved that his surging mood has not calmed down yet, for him, her appearance is the best gift that God has given him, without her, there would be no happy life today.
Ming Xia, who had been hiding behind him, took out the birthday cake, which Jiang Liuli had spent a long time developing, this thing was the first time they had seen it, and as for the taste, they had never tasted it.
"What is this?" Lan Tingxuan watched Ming Xia put the birthday cake on the table and asked suspiciously.
"It's called a birthday cake, cut it and try it." She took out the cleaned dagger next to the cake and handed it to him, as a birthday star, he wanted to be the first to taste.
He took the dagger in a daze, but he didn't know how to use it, Jiang Liuli could only take his hand, cut a piece of cake with him, and put it on the plate.
"Taste it." She handed him the cake and looked at him expectantly, this was her first time making a birthday cake, and she had tasted it okay, but she didn't know if they ate it or not.
Seeing this, Lan Tingxuan took a bite with chopsticks, the white cream exuded a faint fragrance, and it was sweet but not greasy in the mouth, and the cake below was soft and delicate, which was particularly delicious.
"It's delicious." He smiled and nodded, as long as it was something she made, nothing was not delicious, even the small duck eggs, after pickling, could become particularly delicious, not to mention such a complicated birthday cake, the taste was needless to say.
Jiang Liuli smiled with satisfaction when he saw the happiness on his face, and then started to cut the cake, first to Lanmu, then to Gong Changqing, and then to Wuwu and Lingxi, the child is still young, and it is not appropriate to eat more desserts.
Take the rest of the cake to Mingyue and Mingxia, and let them share the rest with others, the cake she made is very large, but it can only be tasted by everyone.
