Chapter 60: Dancing is a secret
As soon as Qianshu raised his eyes and saw He Dongfeng, he was startled, and immediately turned his back on his hand. He didn't see Begonia give her jade, right?
He Dongfeng walked over slowly, saw her smile, and turned to a defensive posture, he said with a slight displeasure: "What are you holding in your hand?" β
Qian Shu was in a hurry, and stretched out his hand in front of him and opened it: "The slave and maid were afraid that they would lose the basket when they were working, so they took it off." β
He Dongfeng glanced at the basket, it was not a precious thing, it was very sparse and ordinary, and asked her, "Do you like jade baskets?" β
"Huh? Well. "Of course I like it, who would have trouble with money.
He Dongfeng pondered for a moment, and then asked her, "How are the preparations for the conference?" β
She forgot about it. It was only three days before Qixi Festival, and she had no idea what she needed to prepare for that meeting.
Seeing Qianshu's stunned look, He Dongfeng couldn't help but remind her: "Don't forget what you promised this king." With your qualifications, it's not hard to get a place. However, there are a lot of people attending the conference this year, so you should prepare for it. β
There were a lot of people who participated, and she was asked to join in the fun! She's not idle.
"What, lord, so many people participated, it's better for slaves and maids not to go than to be ashamed." Qianshu just wants to avoid this daughter's day conference.
But how could He Dongfeng let her escape?
"Want to go? You just try. β
It was obviously a smiling face, but it made Qianshu feel a cold breath.
"Hehe, the slave maid just said that, since she promised the prince, she should do her best. If you can't get a rank even if you try your best, then you are stupid as a slave. β
He Dongfeng nodded: "Yes." Still not ready yet? β
Qianshu hurriedly signed the acceptance book, and then ran away, justifiably preparing to go.
In the Huanyi room, she pulled Yunshang and asked Dongxi and asked: "Then what is the Daughter's Day conference is a Shenma situation?" β
Yun Sheng had long been familiar with the strange way of speaking of her master, and while twisting her clothes, she responded to her: "Yanjing will hold a Daughter's Day Conference every Qixi Festival, which is intended to reward those women who are ingenious and have a good heart. The rules for government and private organizations are different. This year, it was the turn of the Jin Palace's to hold the conference, and only officials of the third rank or above and the prince's family's family members of the right age could participate. β
Yun Sheng paused and added: "The master has participated in the conference since he was a child, and he has won the ranking every year." After all, this is the last time the master will attend the conference. β
Is it a 15-20-year-old girl? Why didn't she give birth a few days earlier? Qianshu hated it so much.
"What's the competition at the general meeting? Is it difficult to get a good ranking? β
Yunshang looked taken for granted: "For the master, of course, it is not difficult. The master is the first dancer in Yanjing, and last year he was the first in the dance group. The Daughter's Day Conference, the natural competition is the women's talent and craftsmanship, there are embroidery, poetry, dance, chess, etc., women who sign up for the conference can freely participate in each group, at least one competition. β
Qianshu's eyes have become stars. It's a boring game when you hear it. But she doesn't know anything but cooking, which is miserable. Not to mention the ranking, it's hard to say if you can't make a fool of yourself.
And He Zazha also said that there were a lot of participants this year, so she didn't want to pass the test smoothly.
"Ugh." Chisu sighed. This He scum will really find something for her to do. No wonder she was told to prepare. It's only three days before the conference, so I can prepare a ghost.
Yunshang saw that her master was troubled, so she asked her: "The master is still participating in the dance group competition this year." The day before yesterday, the slave maid seemed to hear from the people of Changsheng Dance Workshop that the shopkeeper had taken over the business of Concubine Shen, and wanted to dance with Concubine Shen at the conference. β
Qianshu is still lazy and can't lift his spirits. When she crossed over, she knew that Shen Bailian's dance was also good, if the original owner was better than Shen Bailian, she really had no chance of winning if she was compared with Shen Bailian.
"Master, Yunshang is going to set you the dancing girl of the Na Dance Workshop, although it is not as good as Changsheng Dance Workshop, but as long as the master leads the teaching, it will definitely not lose to Concubine Shen." Yunshang is convinced of the master's strength.
Belch...... This!!
Forget it, if you lose face, you will be embarrassed, it was He Scumbag who asked her to participate, and if she danced ugly, it would be uncomfortable for others, but she was not uncomfortable.
"Alright, Yunshang, you go and set me the dancers of the Na Dance Workshop. I'll think about what I want to dance first, and then you can take me there and we'll meet you later." Qianshu explained to Yunshang.
Who knew that Yunshang came back with a sad face: "Master, there are too many people attending the conference this year, the business of the dance workshop is booming, and the Na Na Dance Workshop has also been decided." β
"And what other dance studios don't have? It's okay if it's not satisfactory, as long as I can guarantee that someone will use it for me. Qianshu retreated to the second, to be honest, she herself was not sure at all, and she was afraid of being laughed at by those dancing girls.
Yunshang thought about it, and suddenly remembered one thing: "Master, Mother Liu, she has a niece and daughter who opened a dance workshop this year, if you want to say that there must be a dancing girl, but how well she dances, I dare not guarantee it." β
"I dare to be kind. Go, take me to them. β
The two of them were about to leave the house to find the dance studio, but they didn't notice a sneaky figure following them behind them.
Haitang left the Jin Palace, but when she saw the figure in front of her following behind Qianshu and Yunsheng, she frowned and thought of what was wrong, so she also followed.
Yunshang took Qianshu to an inconspicuous faΓ§ade at the end of the street, and finally found the dance shop opened by Liu's mother and her nephew, and the words on the plaque were all painted, and it was faintly obvious that it was the four words Yunxian Dance Workshop.
Qianshu's heart was cold, such a desolate dance shop, I want to know how well it is run. But at the moment, there is only a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and there is no other way.
Liu's mother's niece called Liu Ying, and when she heard Yunshang's intention, she respectfully saluted Qianshu: "It turned out that the eldest lady was coming, and Liu Ying would definitely help the eldest lady." β
The number of participants in this year's Daughter's Day Conference is the largest in the past, large and small dance studios have long been set, there are those big dance studios, and several have been booked, and the business is too good to be good, but her small dance studio, because of the new opening, the faΓ§ade is small, and there are few dancing girls, so far she has not received a single business.
I have long heard my aunt say that the eldest lady is beautiful and kind, and now I see that she will trust the dance studio she opened.
"I heard from my aunt that the eldest lady has excellent dancing skills, how many shows do you plan to book in a small dance studio?" Liu Ying was full of enthusiasm, thinking that there was finally a big business coming to the door, and she had to wait.
However, the eldest lady is very modest.
I only heard Qianshu wave his hand and say: "If it was in previous years, I would have to set at least three games." However, a few days ago, I injured my leg and foot, and I still can't get a rope, so I'll just set it up. If I can make the cut, I'll decide the number of next games. β
Liu Ying subconsciously looked at her leg, she was injured, would that have an impact?
Yunshang protected the master: "If you can help the master to be shortlisted, your reputation will definitely be much better than now, and you are worried that there will be no business in the future?" The master was the first place in the dance group last year, who doesn't know Yanjing? β
Liu Ying thought about it, and it was the same reason. The eldest lady can come to her small dance studio, and she will have a lot of face in the future. So she smiled more humbly: "Miss, do you have a favorite dance?" β
Qianshu smiled: "I have a ...... here"
Before he finished speaking, he heard a scream outside, and soon there was no sound again.
"Who would dare to overhear the eldest lady talking to me?" Liu Ying was so anxious that she walked out.
Haitang just pushed the door in, passed Liu Ying and walked towards Qianshu: "Fu, you have to be careful, someone wants to know what kind of dance you danced at the conference, and wants to set you up." β
"Huh?" Qianshu was dumbfounded. Someone set her up again? It's not even peaceful to dance, who is she provoking whom?
Haitang leaned close to her ear and whispered: "You also know that person just now, it is Lotus Ye, the maid beside Concubine Shen." Luckily, I came with me and hit her with a pebble to scare her away. β
Qian Shu snorted, this Shen Bailian, isn't it good to rely on her own skills? Why do you keep thinking about trapping her? Oh, by the way, speaking of Shen Bailian, she became more and more suspicious that the bitter almond she ate must have been given by this white lotus when she crossed over.
"Haitang, what do you think of Concubine Shen's dancing skills compared to mine?"
"Naturally, it is not as good as you, so I will do everything possible to harm you." Begonia said truthfully.
Qian Shu had an idea, thought of a good plan, and summoned Liu Ying, Haitang and Yunshang together to discuss.
"Liu Ying, how many dancing girls do you have here?"
"More than twenty people."
"That's okay, you just have to pick ten obedient ones, don't have too many eyes, and don't want the best. The rest of you form a dance team. β
Haitang understood as soon as she heard it, and Liu Ying was not stupid: "Miss, is this trying to hide from the world?" β
It's so easy and enjoyable to communicate with smart people. Qianshu smiled: "Exactly." Not only do I have to hide it, but I also have to mislead people who want to know what I have to prepare. β
Haitang complained about Shen Bishu's indifference in her heart, and wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge on her, so she automatically asked: "Fu, if you can trust me, listen to me." Concubine Shen likes to highlight herself in a group of dancing girls, if you say that what you want to dance is a hundred birds and a phoenix, and the peacock opens the screen, she has to be anxious with you. β
Qianshu felt that what Haitang said was reasonable, so he agreed: "Then the other dance team will be watched by Miss Liu Ying and you, whatever you dance, as long as they feel it, that's what I prepared for the conference." As for the ten-person team, I have to train in secret, Miss Liu Ying, does there have a secret dance studio here? β
Liu Ying thought for a while, and was a little ashamed: "I'm too small here, but at the beginning of the dance workshop, I set up a secret passage to the inn at the back, the inn is very large, my husband is the head there, and the venue can be lent to the eldest lady." β
"Then it's troublesome Miss Liu." Qian Shu made a look, and Yunshang paid Liu Ying twice the money.
Liu Ying was flattered, pushed it twice, accepted it, and went to pick a dancing girl for the eldest lady.
Qianshu and Haitang looked at each other and smiled, the outcome of this matter is not the key, the key is to make Shen Bishu deflated, thinking of her face that day, it must be wonderful.
