Chapter 17 Malicious Targeting
When Jin Ran and Li Ying returned to the table, it had been a while since the banquet had been held, and Jin Ran tried his best to ignore Sheng Jinlan's malicious gaze on the other side of the seat, and at the same time, he had to deal with the constant questioning from his mother Zhang, and he only felt very tired.
But no matter how tired she is, she has to bring it to the end of the feast, because it is not only about her sister's face. And her own fame status.
Because there is another very unique part of this summer lotus banquet, that is, the performance of the girls who participated in the summer lotus banquet. If the nobles rarely perform for others on weekdays, after all, the identity is there, and they are all the masters of the family, who can have so much energy to let these ladies do this kind of thing?
And now, at this summer lotus feast, everyone's status is equal, and they are naturally willing to perform skills for others. And others will also comment and appreciate the performers, which can be regarded as an alternative show off of these golden and jade ladies.
When Jin Ran came today, he brought his own zither with him. She has been practicing the zither since she was a child, and the sound of the zither is extremely beautiful. Yesterday, I practiced hard for a long time.
Before the performance, the rule on weekdays is to ask these ladies who are going to perform to throw a set of lots, and whoever draws what lottery will perform according to the lot.
Although it is random, in fact, this signing is also regular in private, and it will definitely not embarrass the performer.
Soon it was time for the Jinran lottery, she casually pulled out a bamboo stick of peony, flipped to the back, but her eyes widened, this is not a kite, but a solo dance!
She was at ease, looked at Sheng Jinlan, who was smiling so unexpectedly, and understood that it must have been her hands and feet......
Why was this Sheng Jinlan able to do something in the Liguo Mansion? Jin Ran thought silently in his heart. This must be some kind of traitor in my sister's house, and I have to talk to my sister about it afterwards.
And Sheng Jinlan's smug strength on the side couldn't hide it, Luo Yi, who was sitting next to her, raised her head and asked softly, "Sister Jinlan, why are you so happy?" β
Sheng Jinlan's eyebrows danced and said: "Hmph, I let this Sheng Jinran give me pride, her sign was changed by me, after a while, I want to dance for everyone!" β
Luo Yi's face turned pale, what she was preparing today was a dance, she was a little worried that Sheng Jinran would overshadow her limelight, and asked anxiously: "How is Sheng Jinran dancing?" β
Sheng Jinlan likes Luo Yi very much, and naturally pays attention to Luo Yi's sister Luo Yi's emotions from time to time, she comforts Luo Yi with a smile: "Don't worry, this Sheng Jinran has learned Zheng for a few days since she was a child, and you want her to dance?" Hmph, don't you fall on your heels? β
Luo Yi listened to Sheng Jinlan's words and secretly put his mind at ease, thinking that there was Sheng Jinran in front of him, wouldn't he be able to show his beautiful dancing posture for a while, so he also concentrated on thinking about how to dominate everyone when he performed for a while.
Sheng Jinran didn't know what Luo Yi was thinking, she was still unhurried to taste the snacks on the table, looking calm and relaxed.
Li Ying on the side was in a hurry, but she knew that her own young lady was not going to dance today, and her own young lady's dancing posture was ...... Li Ying didn't dare to think about it, she hurriedly turned around beside her: "Miss, Miss, let's go find Miss Jinxiu!" This is a mistake! β
"Okay, okay, don't turn Li Ying." Jin Ran stopped Li Ying with a smile, and she gently took a sip of the tea in her hand: "How can it be so simple?" This sign was opened in front of everyone, and if it didn't jump for a while, it would be the people of Shengfu who lost it. β
"Miss, what should we do?" Li Ying was about to cry, but Jin Ran was still unhurried, she smiled: "Okay, silly girl, don't worry, your young lady, there is a way, but I have to tell you to do something first." β
At the banquet, some of the nobles chanted poems and some painted, which was particularly kind and interesting, and soon it was time for Jinran to dance solo. She got up unhurriedly and picked up what she had just told Li Ying to findβa sword.
