Chapter 654: Dancing on the water
Under the brilliant lights, in the midst of everyone's attention, a huge flower boat slowly moved into the middle of the water; The bow and stern of the boat are decorated like a bird, and the silk ribbons on the hull are like the wings and feathers of a bird.
Song Nan secretly smacked his tongue, there was so much pomp and circumstance for a Qinglou woman, this was by no means simple; Although this is just a show, it can be regarded as the ultimate in showmanship; The appearance of the concubines in the palace may not be comparable.
In the cheers of the bridge on the water on the shore, a low drum was suddenly heard, and with the sound of the drum, the wind lanterns on the flower boat and the surrounding masts were extinguished one after another, and under the light veil of the crescent moon, above the faint reflection of the waves, but on the bow deck of the flower boat, a woman quietly entered the sight of everyone.
All the people held their breath and stared at the fairy-like figure, only to hear the beat of the drums, the woman waved her sleeves and walked under the light of a faint light shot from the cabin, and slowly began to dance.
Gu Lianlian's dancing posture first stretched slowly, and the water sleeves swayed like flowing water, like walking on the water surface in the clouds; As the drum beat of the accompaniment became faster and faster, her dancing posture became faster and faster, when the drum beat was like a hammer beating in the hearts of all people, but seeing Gu Lianlian's body like a vigorous moon rabbit and a swift deer, the hand-eye body shape changed with the rhythm of the slightest, and the whole person was like a thousand phantom ice clouds showing a ghostly aura, with the surrounding lights gradually brightening, Gu Lianlian's figure danced on the deck extremely quickly, the faster her dance, the more nervous the people watched; When the drumbeat was dense to the top, Gu Lian's body jumped up in the air with a squeaky sound, bending into an incredible arc in the air, and all the water sleeve ribbons on his body floated down, revealing a red tight-fitting bullet suit, and his delicate body was blood-spurting.
With the last loud bang, the hammer fell, and with a bang, when the drum fell, Gu Lian's body also fell in the air, sculptural and motionless, slightly delicate. Gasp.
The audience was silent, and I don't know when someone applauded gently, and suddenly the applause of the audience was thunderous and endless. 'Have mercy! Take pity! The shouts also came from different corners.
Song Nan nodded slightly, stretched out his hand and applauded gently, it was really extraordinary, this dance was a hundred times more wonderful than those seen in the palace and the banquet in the capital, it was not easy to know how to use lighting effects to match the dance posture in this year, and the movement and rhythm of the whole dance design were exquisite, even Song Nan, a layman, was fascinated by it.
"Hey, which side of the hell are you? also applauded others, such as Sister Yan's dancing posture is not worse than her, you stay on our boat, but you have the majesty of others. The two women on the side of the boat looked at Song Nan angrily.
Song Nan hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, this is a polite applause, after all, people have also worked hard, haven't they?" ”
A round-faced woman said: "This is about the same, hard work is for sure, these twenty Oiran candidate girls, which one of them has not worked hard?" For example, we are like Sister Yan, and we have suffered much more than us, so what else can we say? Only those who endure hardships can become masters. ”
Song Nan saw that this girl was talking coquettishly, and took advantage of the fact that after Gu Lianlian left the stage, the whole audience was talking and noisy, and wanted to ask about the situation here, so he said: "Is your girl's dance like smoke good?" How does it compare to this pity? ”
The round-faced girl said: "Naturally, there is no distinction between up and down, my family is like a smoke girl who can dance a lot, what "Neon Dress and Feather Song", "Golden Lotus", "After the Jade Tree. Courtyard. Flower", "Quartet Bodhisattva Dance", "Bafang Breaking Array Dance", what kind of famous dance did Gu Lianlian dance just now? But I didn't see it, I didn't necessarily dance better than my girl; If it weren't for Fang to help her, she wouldn't be an opponent at all. ”
Song Nan asked quietly, "Fang everyone helps her?" Which party, everyone? ”
"Can't you see? Standing there is. The round-faced girl pointed at Fang Qingshan, who was standing on the boat, and at this time, Fang Qingshan was smiling with his hands, and several people were talking to him, with a rather smug look on his face.
Song Nan suddenly realized, no wonder he felt that Gu Lianlian's dance was a little different, now that he thinks about it, the second half is a combination of the movements of modern dance and rhythmic gymnastics in later generations, which is definitely not something that people of this era can make up, at this time, Song Nan is almost certain that this Fang Qingshan is definitely not a person of this era, I am afraid that he is also a person who has crossed over.
"Why does this Fang Qingshan want to help Gu Pian? Isn't he on the side of justice? ”
"Cut, how do you know, whoever is willing to pay a lot of money will help Fang everyone, Fang everyone does have the ability, but it is too vicious to ask for money; A dance like Gu Lianlian, at least 10,000 taels of silver was invited to move him, Qiuyuelou has money, Gu Lianlian has a backer, our Yunxiao Pavilion doesn't have such a big capital, this flower boat was hired by Sister Yunyan herself; The building can't afford to pay for it. ”
Song Nan was very interested, and asked again: "Why is Qiuyue Tower rich, but you Yunxiao Pavilion has no money?" Gu Lianlian has a backer, doesn't your Yunyan girl have it? ”
The round-faced girl rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "I don't know this? Are you a native of Nanjing? ”
"Xiao Ke has only been in your place for a few days, and I really don't know very well, so please let the girl know." Song Nan arched his hand and smiled.
The round-faced girl was a little embarrassed by Song Nan's humility, and said, "It's okay to sue you, but don't talk nonsense everywhere; The tenth floor of our Qinhuai was originally operated separately, but since last year, more than half of the top ten famous buildings have been acquired by a prince from Jiangxi, and this prince is the backer, it is said that this prince is very rich, and he is building a new building and entering a new person. It's very busy. ”
"Oh?" Song Nan frowned, and thought, "Is the prince from Jiangxi?" ”
"Yes, it's still a very young prince. Forget it, you don't know it. Qiu Yuelou's Gu Lian was popular with his hand. We don't want to send people under the fence, and Peng's mother doesn't want to give away the belongings she has saved all her life, so she doesn't want to sell them to the prince; But since then, business has gone from bad to worse, and popularity has dropped a lot. Our Yunyan girl is stubborn, but she is not willing to accompany others to do this and that, so this Oiran Contest is very important to us. Mom said that if she can't make a name for herself this time and can't attract big guests, I'm afraid she won't be able to hold on. ”
Song Nan's heart suddenly became suspicious, and before he could ask again, he suddenly heard someone talking on the second deck: "Liu'er, what are you talking nonsense?" If you are told not to talk much, you will not listen. ”
The round-faced girl was startled, and hurriedly turned around and said, "Yunyan girl, Liu'er knows that she is wrong, so Liu'er will shut up." ”
Song Nan looked up towards the second deck, and saw the Yunyan girl holding the railing with both hands, staring at herself with a pair of autumn water, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.
"Yunyan girl, in the north of the Song Dynasty, you are polite." Song Nan clasped his fists and saluted.
Yunyan girl Ju returned the salute and said: "It turned out to be Song Gongzi, Yunyan is polite, thank you for your help." ”
"You're welcome, just a little bit of effort." Song Nan said with a smile.
"But if Gongzi Song thinks that he has helped the slave family once, he can ask and ask at will, if he has no intentions, Gongzi will be wrong." Yunyan said coldly.
Song Nan was stunned and smiled: "Where do you start with this?" ”
Yun Yan said: "You know in your own heart, after helping me once, you immediately appeared on the flower boat in my Yunxiao Pavilion, although the slave family doesn't know what your intentions are, but the slave family is not blind, whether it is a drama or not, the slave family can also see it." ”
Song Nan was stunned, and laughed: "It turns out that you think that I am in a group with that Zhou Gongzi, this is a great wrong, I would rather be a brother and sister with the beggar on the street, than with that gentleman, I can't afford to lose that person." ”
Yun Yan's eyebrows jumped, and he said quietly: "Then why do you want to inquire about our top ten famous buildings?" Want to find out what I think of the Sky Pavilion? Don't. ”
Song Nan shook his head and said: "I was just curious to ask, I saw that Gu Pian had superb dancing skills, and the girl just now had no intention of talking about it, and the girl thought I was talkative, so I didn't ask." After I've watched the show here, I'll just avoid the search of the man surnamed Huang. ”
Yunyan pursed her lips and turned around to return, but Song Nan suddenly shouted, "Girl, stop." ”
Miss Yunyan turned around and frowned: "What's the matter with the son, the slave family is going to practice dance, the eleventh appearance of the slave family, you have to hurry up and get familiar with the warm-up." ”
Song Nan said: "I want to help the girl and help the girl win the Oiran, I wonder if the girl can listen to the construction of the next one?" ”
Yunyan girl was surprised: "You? ”
"Yes, that's me." Song Nan pointed to his nose and smiled.
