Volume 1 A More Drum: Mo Flowers Bloom, Two Lovesickness Chapter 21 He Mansion Green Waist
Lord Ho's birthday is coming soon. It was dark, and just after the fourth watch, Xiao Tao and Mi Niang were already sitting in the carriage, and the carriage galloped towards He Mansion on Suzaku Street. Xiao Tao rubbed her worried eyes and fell asleep in her mother's arms. The carriages from the courtyard to Hefu were mighty, and there were more than a dozen cars in front and behind. Not only the dancing girls, but also the singers, Youling, and Le Ji, forty or fifty people, large and small, and wearing musical instruments and props, loaded the car last night and set off early this morning.
Xiao Tao's qualifications in the dancing girl will never have the opportunity to come to this kind of occasion. Fortunately, my mother can talk to the steward now, and after a basket of good words, the steward asked Xiao Tao to be a rough girl to follow, help serve tea and pour water, and hand over clothes to start.
Xiao Tao didn't care what to do, as soon as the carriage arrived at Hefu, she immediately became smart. The security of the He Mansion was even tighter, and the carriage stopped at the back door of the He Mansion. After getting out of the car, the singer and the dancing girl bypassed the corner tower through the back door and was arranged to rest and reorganize in an attic. After the banquet begins, they are taken to the attic on the west side behind the stage to prepare for the performances in turn. Xiao Tao kept running back and forth, helping to tidy up and tidy up, and she was very happy.
Throughout the morning, Xiao Tao didn't have a chance to look around, but she only heard more and more voices of people and horses, and it became more and more lively. I think it's the people who come to celebrate the birthday are gradually coming. This Lord He's mansion is so magnificent, and the people who come to celebrate his birthday should be dignitaries. Little Peach's heart was beating a little inexplicably.
At noon, the birthday banquet officially began in the backyard of Hefu. The stage is located on the south side, facing north and is as tall as a three-story attic. On the north side, east and west sides are two-story attics, with various wings, where adults and their families who come to celebrate their birthdays sit and enjoy various performances in the exchange of cups and lamps.
Xiao Tao is in the attic behind the stage, and she can't see the panorama, she can only occasionally see the dancing girls lined up in various formations, with long sleeves flying, what the girl said is right, it looks like this, it is very beautiful. But in my life, I'm afraid I don't have that creation to dance so good. Xiao Tao was thinking wildly, and was slapped by a pair of big hands: "Send this to my mother." Xiao Tao saw that it was a lotus flower the size of a tray, which should be a prop for the "green waist dance" of the young lady. Xiao Tao hurriedly ran down the attic with her hand, trotted all the way to the back of the stage, and handed it to Uncle Qi.
The next dance is the green waist, Xiao Tao made a turn, turned to the west side of the stage, and walked two more corridors to the north, ready to find a place where you can see the panoramic view of the stage. Other people's can not be watched, but the dance of the young lady must be watched. It's just that there are too many people in the backyard of He Mansion now, and the adults and sons who are walking back and forth, as well as the servants and maids, Xiao Tao is afraid of being discovered, so she has to secretly find the pillars of the cloister to hide.
was about to move to the next pillar, and collided with a person passing by, Xiao Tao was frightened, raised his head and looked at the person, his eyes widened: "It's you?" ”
The man scratched his head and suddenly smiled, "Why are you here?" Aren't you a wine seller? He also has some impressions of Xiao Tao, during the Dragon Boat Festival, he helped Qi Gongzi buy wine, and he bought it from Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao didn't care to answer, and asked nervously, "Where is Gongzi Qi?" Is he coming too? ”
The man nodded: "Yes, my son-in-law is familiar with Lord He and Mr. He, so he naturally wants to come." Then he pointed to the attic on the east side, "Well, there it is, the one in the azure robe." ”
Xiao Tao rubbed her eyes vigorously, the distance was a little far, and she couldn't really see it. But since he said yes, he must be. Xiao Tao's heart was beating so fast, for no reason, her face turned crimson. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "By the way, I've seen you twice, and I don't know what your name is." My name is Xiao Tao, and I am now a --- of Hefu. Xiao Tao wanted to talk about the dancing girl, but the identity of her coming today is a subordinate, and she is ashamed to say that she is a dancing girl because of her arms and legs.
The man also smiled: "My name is Yun Sheng, and I am Childe's scholar." After a pause, he said, "I have to go to the carriage now and get something for Childe, and I'll talk to you later." After saying that, he hurriedly walked back.
