Chapter Twenty-Six: Preparing for the Feast
The show girls almost couldn't sleep at night, Wang Ronghe had a good night's sleep, slept well, got up early, and was in a better mood with her favorite dishes during breakfast, Liu Jing sat on the kang, and the palace maid combed her hair. 【Fengyun Reading Network. 】
"I discussed it for half a night last night, and I didn't say one, two, three, and I delayed my sleep time in vain." Liu Jing said that when she went to Cining Palace once or twice more times in the apse, she had to come to ask her opinion, what advice she could have. There are many people, there are few shows, everyone wants to show themselves, and without a tough leader, no one can do it in the end.
"What is the result of the discussion in the front hall?" Yang Jingru asked.
"They are much easier to do, Zhou Yuting said to dance the sword, Wang Zhixi said to play the piano, and there are people who want to sing, and the rest of the people feel that they can't compare to Zhou Yuting and Wang Zhixi.
"But who wouldn't want to participate. Zhou Yuting, since Wang Zhixi opened her mouth, she must be very satisfied with her talent. Other people can only be a foil, if they are pitiful, they can't be a foil, so no matter how generous people are, they don't feel comfortable in their hearts. After all, it's the first time I've met Your Majesty. Cui Yiru said.
"But are there any of us who have the confidence to compare with Zhou Yuting and Wang Zhixi?" Wang Ronghe asked. "I'm a person with no talent, so I won't join in the excitement at the spring banquet, and it's better to sit and be a wallflower."
"Sister, Aunt Shang Gong just said that everyone must participate in this spring banquet." A girl from the east side hall of Lijingxuan trotted in, her face was anxious, "I also said that His Majesty's concubines will also participate."
"Is that true?" Wang Ronghe said, and his heart suddenly became bored.
"Really." The little girl who came said, "The people in the front hall are also out of order." ”
"The concubines in the palace have all seen Your Majesty, why do you still want to come and have fun with the show girl." Cui Yiru was as bored as he was bored, "It's good to stay in the palace longer than us, and if you know what Your Majesty likes, you can use it more than us." ”
"The palace has always only heard newcomers laughing, you think you are Your Majesty's concubine, so you don't have to find ways to show yourself in front of Your Majesty." Yang Jingru said, "Let's be calm." ”
"Call everyone here." Since things are unavoidable, Wang Ronghe only struggled for a while before he cheered up and faced the reality, "Everyone got together to discuss a charter, there is not much time left for us, and we don't want to prepare a program that is too far from the front hall or the concubines." ”
"I'll call someone." Liu Jing said.
When everyone in the apse appeared in the main hall of Lijingxuan, Wang Ronghe said, "I called you mèi mèi to come here to discuss the program of our Lijingxuan at the spring banquet, do you have any good suggestions?" ”
"Sister Wang, if you have any thoughts, we will all listen to you." Yang Jingru and Liu Jing said. Since the two of them said this, the rest of the people naturally looked at Wang Ronghe in agreement.
"Anyway, I can't think of anything good in my head, sister, tell me your idea first, and we'll discuss the rest." Cui Yiru said.
"It's not that I like to take care of things, this spring feast is imminent, and there is really no time for us to discuss in detail a complete plan. Moreover, I am the chief in this apse, and if everyone does not dislike me, I will be shy to be the lord and lead a return. Wang Rong said to the girl who looked at the east and west matching hall, the girl in the main hall is familiar, but there is no need to worry.
"Sister, don't worry." A girl from the East Side Hall said, "Although I don't get along with my sister very much, I have heard of my sister's witty and fair name, and we all believe in my sister." ”
"I'm lazy, and I don't usually get along with you mèi mèi, mèi mèi don't know what they're good at or what they're not good at, and I'll ask more questions later." Wang Ronghe smiled slightly.
"My aunt said that the show is small and fine, and said that everyone must participate, that is, the group drama can't run away."
"Solo dance is good for solo dance, and group drama is wonderful for group play. Maybe we are not opponents when it comes to individual plays, but not necessarily when it comes to group plays. ”
"Everyone is a room of sisters, naturally understand the truth of both glory and loss, the spring banquet and you and me, and the battlefield are correct, everyone must be frank and go all out, the show is well prepared, we can look good on our faces."
"That's what my sister said." The girls said in unison, "It's up to my sister to make her own mind." ”
Wang Ronghe raised his eyes to count the heads, and whispered in her ear. "There are exactly 30 people in Lijingxuan plus the girl."
"How many of them can dance? Can dance and sit together. Wang Ronghe asked, only six people raised their hands at a glance, this is not good, the banquet is all singing and dancing, it is a big show, it is also a big song and dance show, only six people out of thirty people dance, except for the musical instruments seven, seven, eight or eight, then at least a dozen people have to have nothing to do with the background board.
"Although I haven't danced, I like to dance in my heart, and then I feel that my body is soft and my learning ability is quite strong, and I also came out and stood with these six mèi mèi who danced." Wang Ronghe said, "Everyone should be confident, dance in groups, the movements don't have to be difficult, and everyone will look good when they do it." ”
Reluctantly stood up for four more, Wang Ronghe glanced at Yang Jingru, and Yang Jingru took out a pen and paper to write down the names of these people.
"And any of us who can play a musical instrument?" Wang Ronghe asked.
This time it was even worse, only two people came out of the ranks, one could play the piano, and the other could chuī xiāo, and Yang Jingru wrote it down again.
"What about singing?" Wang Ronghe asked.
"I can only sing a little bit of a mountain tune." A girl said timidly.
"It's not difficult to not be able to sing the tunes of the current school. The point is that the voice should be clear and translucent, tactful and affectionate. Wang Ronghe encouraged, "Those who think they have a good voice open their voices, and none of us are outsiders." ”
The rest of the girls sang two sentences one by one, Wang Ronghe picked four people, and they could still cooperate with the singing harmony, Wang Ronghe asked if there was anyone who could draw, if he really knew how to draw and draw well, after all, the final product would be presented to His Majesty.
Wang Ronghe glanced around and no one answered, and then Yang Jingru on the side silently raised his hand, Wang Ronghe was overjoyed, "That's you." ”
"Let's make a big show, the singing and dancing music are all ourselves, and then let Jingru prepare on the side at the beginning, and start to draw the dance posture on the field at the beginning, and wait until the song stops and the dance is closed, Jingru's painting is also painted, and then turn around and appear is not an unexpected surprise." Wang Ronghe said. "They can't even think of it."
"Can I draw well?" Yang Jingru was a little panicked, "It's a dynamic dance again, and it's a time limit, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it well." ”
"What are you afraid of, it's not the first time you've seen dance, you practice early and choose a good posture, you really know what you want to draw when you get to the sidelines, don't panic, just press the painting you practice." Wang Ronghe said.
"There are not enough dancers right now." Wang Ronghe smiled, "Come on, come on, you all stand together and let me see the height, choose the one with the same height and size, you have to pick eighteen of them, the choreographer who can dance, the one who can't dance, even if you don't sleep at night, you have to learn." ”
"How many times do you say that you can have a chance to save a face in front of Her Majesty and the Queen Mother in your life? If you don't work hard at this time, you won't know if there will be any opportunities to work hard in the future. "Wang Ronghe is also inspiring.
"By the way, who among you can beat the drum?" Wang Ronghe asked.
"I will." A show girl said timidly, and when Wang Ronghe looked at her, she hurriedly changed to official dialect, "My hometown is the hometown of flower drums, and everyone in the girls and daughters-in-law there can play drums." ”
"It's so good, it's really a lack of sleep that came to the pillow." Wang Rong and gassho said, "We have only two talented women who know how to play musical instruments, there are too few, musical instruments are not as good as others, and they are not something that can be learned now." I was thinking about it, thinking that it would be nice if there were people who could drum, the drum sound was broad and majestic, solid and powerful, and passionate, which was completely different from the clarity of the harmonic sound of the flute, and more importantly, as long as it was played according to a certain rhythm, even people who could not play it at all could play well. ”
Wang Rong and asked the show girl to choose three companions to beat the drum together, and when the whole discussion was properly taken over the paper written by Yang Jingru, Wang Ronghe calculated, "It's just right, none of them have been left behind." ”
"Sister, what are you doing?" Cui Yiru asked.
"I'm not talented, it's really hard for me to dance and beat the drums, so I'll raise a tripod and mix it in the instrument group to finalize the tone." Wang Ronghe said with a smile.
"The personnel are arranged, but what are we playing? What to sing? Jump what? The show girl who played the piano asked.
"It's really spring now, playing a song of Xingdi Spring Dawn is the most appropriate time, we are show girls, and in order to show Your Majesty, sing and sing the phoenix." Wang Ronghe already had a plan in his heart. "First of all, four people play the drum, indicating that the winter is solemn and cold, and then the dancers enter in turn, first dance with the drum beat, the dance posture opens and closes, and the dancers stop the drum to worship the ground is the end of the first dance, and then the piano and flute ensemble, the song starts, the dancers are weak again, and change the dance posture, indicating that the winter has passed, the grass grows and the warbler flies in the spring, and the daughter is amorous."
"It's such an unexpectedly good idea, but it's a bit complicated to listen to, and I don't know if I can do it well." Liu Jing said directly.
"It sounds complicated, but it's actually all branched, everyone first practices their own parts, and then they practice together." Wang Ronghe said, "It's just that the mèi mèi who know how to work harder, and the mèi mèi who can't teach the mèi mèi, those who don't know how to first study and practice well, and second, do some chores that can be done." Time is pressing, so we have to make our own dancing clothes. ”
"Didn't someone from the Shangyi Bureau come over to help make clothes?" Cui Yiru said.
"There are so many clothes to make, even if she doesn't treat our clothes slowly, if they don't do it to their liking, they don't have time to modify and redo it." Wang Ronghe said. "Let's work together, and it's not difficult to make clothes."
"Now let my aunt send the drums over, as well as Qin and Xiao, those who can dance will make up the dance first, and those who sing will memorize the words first, and the rest of the people will not stand still, go and ask what others will perform and what color clothes they will wear, so we won't bump into people."
"By the way, our show is a secret, and it won't be interesting to say it too early." Wang Ronghe said with a smile. "Say it or not, let them guess."
