Chapter 8: Talent

Xia Tiange raised his chin and motioned for Fenghua to look to the left, "That's right, Xia Ruoxue, it's there." ”

Not far away, there was a group of noble ladies who were beautiful, and Fenghua looked at a few who were a little familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had seen them.

When she saw one of the women in a red dress, her hands wrapped in gauze, she suddenly realized, "Isn't this the woman who chews her tongue and abuses herself?" ”

Then, Fenghua happily told the song about Ruyi Building.

After listening to it, she hid her face and smiled, "They are all the most sought-after daughters in Kyoto today, and they all have prominent family backgrounds. The one who injured his hand is Chen Lingxiu, the daughter of the official department, and the niece of the imperial concubine, the two purple-clothed ones on the left hand are my two elder sisters, and the one on the right hand side is the daughter of the imperial history of the left capital......"

When Dumping Ge introduced the group of noble ladies to Fenghua, their eyes frequently skimmed to these two people, and Fenghua asked with a smile: "Dumping Song, do you guess they are saying bad things about us?" ”

"Is this still a guess? My two sisters didn't deal with me, and they didn't trouble me a lot, not to mention that you hurt their face again. Although they can't recognize the man as you for the time being, they can tell that it is the Gu family by asking the shopkeeper. ”

"Hmph, I'm not afraid of them, a group of daughters who are powerless, can't I win the fight?" Gu Fenghua didn't take it to heart.

"Fool, who will fight with you!" Qingge poked Fenghua's head with his finger, "In my opinion, they will make you ugly at the banquet, and they will secretly make you stumble." I won't be able to accompany you later, so be careful. ”

"The concubine has arrived!"

The arrival of the concubine interrupted the conversation between the two sisters, everyone saluted the concubine, and the palace maid led everyone to a fixed seat, and Fenghua and the song were separated.

The concubine said a few words of greeting, announced the opening of the banquet, food and wine took turns, and the palace maids began to play music and perform.

Seeing this, Gu Fenghua unceremoniously feasted, because every food was very small and exquisite, she ate everything cleanly in line with the principle of economy.

With her heroic eating appearance, she once again attracted the frequent sideways glances of the people around her.

It's not that there is anything wrong with it, it's just that no one thought that there would really be a woman eating and drinking at the banquet.

Feeling everyone's gaze, Fenghua stopped his chopsticks a little to observe, and found that almost all the big guys were stained with chopsticks, and they almost only ate a quarter of each before withdrawing and replacing them with new dishes.

"It's really a waste, the soldiers on the border are short of food and drink!" Thinking of this, she ate more vigorously.

After about a stick of incense, Chen Lingxiu, who was closest to the concubine, stood up and said loudly: "The courtier is willing to play a song, and may the concubine's beauty last forever." ”

"Lingxiu's flute plays very well, everyone has ears." The concubine is approved.

So, Chen Lingxiu walked generously to the center of the hall with the jade flute in his hand and began to play.

The sound of the flute is clear and melodious, tactful and floating, which makes people feel refreshed.

Food, music, beauty, it's really fast. Gu Fenghua was in a good mood and ate more deliciously.

After the song was finished, everyone applauded and praised, and the concubine also said that she was rewarded.

Chen Lingxiu proudly leaned over to thank him, and said with a smile: "I am not up to standard today, and I blame my hands for not being good." ”

"I just wanted to ask you, why did your hand hurt?" The concubine asked.

"It's just a small injury, so don't worry about the concubine." Chen Lingxiu replied gently.

At this time, another woman stood up and said angrily: "Qiyu Guifei Niangniang, Sister Lingxiu is atmospheric, I don't want you to worry, but the courtiers are angry, many people saw it that day, it was the Gu family who hurt Sister Lingxiu!" ”

"Oh? Gu family? The concubine was puzzled.

Fenghua understands it, this is a complaint! It's really naΓ―ve, and you have to cooperate with a complaint.

Gu Fenghua wiped his hands and got up indifferently to respond: "On that day, a distant cousin of the courtier's daughter went to buy clothes for the courtier, but he heard ......"

"That day was just a misunderstanding, not a good idea." Chen Lingxiu cut off Fenghua's words.

Fenghua looked at her suspiciously, and then realized that he was probably afraid that he would say that they were talking about the royal family.

"Today is also the first time that Miss Gu has participated in a banquet since returning to Beijing, I don't know what talent Miss Gu wants to show everyone?" Chen Lingxiu asked again.

What, have a meal and show? Fenghua was puzzled, and subconsciously replied: "I haven't eaten yet!" ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a burst of laughter in the banquet.

Chen Lingxiu wanted to say something, but saw Xia Tingge Shi Shiran get up and relieve Fenghua: "The courtier Xia Tingge is willing to dance the song "Lotus", wishing the concubine Niangniang good health." ”

"Exactly."

In addition to the concubines, there are many wives of famous nobles who choose daughters-in-law, and there are also many unmarried disciples of the outer hall.

Before, Father Xia asked Qinge to prepare to see which high-ranking family Qinge could enter, so as to marry and consolidate his power, but he also told him not to steal the limelight from Xia Ruoxue.

However, before going out, Mrs. Xia warned Qingge not to go on stage.

Today's Mrs. Xia was originally a concubine, and after Xia Tingge's mother died, she was corrected.

Xia Tingge grew up in Jiangnan with his grandparents, and was taken back to Kyoto by Xia's father after he was a child, thinking of having one more daughter and one more chess piece to marry, so that the family's career would be more stable.

But Mrs. Xia saw that Xia Tiange was born with a captivating country and city, and she was very taboo, and rarely took her to the banquet, let alone allowed her to show it.

However, at this time, the wood was already in the boat, and Mrs. Xia's face was very ugly. Because Xia Tingge knew that Xia Ruoxue was going to dance, he deliberately chose to dance.

Seeing that Dumping Ge helped him out of the siege, Gu Fenghua breathed a sigh of relief, winked at her to express his gratitude, and then sat down safely, ready to enjoy the dancing posture of Dumping.

You know, the singing and dancing is amazing. In the past, Fenghua watched singing and dancing, and I was fascinated by it, but now I haven't seen it for two years, and I miss it very much.

The guqin sound sounded lightly, the song closed its eyes and heard the sound slowly moving, the green yarn man skirt trembled slightly, like a bud blown by the breeze, and everyone was suddenly brought into the artistic conception of the lotus.

The piano note changes, the wide sleeves of the song open and close, the footsteps are light, and the head is spinning, just like a lotus flower slowly blooming; At this time, the song opened his eyes, and the autumn water was full of pure and charming.

The sound of the piano is gradually promoted, the more the song is danced, the faster and faster the posture of the body, the fluttering is like a shock, like a lotus step by step, and if the Lingbo fairy, people seem to see the flower god to come.

The sound of the piano fades and the lotus slowly closes, like a flash in the pan, which is evocative.

After the dance, applause erupted in the hall, and the exclamations continued, only Mrs. Xia and Xia Ruoxue's faces were like dirt.

poured out the song in the limelight, and the concubine was also very satisfied. Seeing this, the daughters rushed to show it.

The sound of silk and bamboo is in the ears, the dancing posture is chaotic, the elegance is seen with relish, and the food is also relished, until the real wine and food are full, and then put down the chopsticks.

Chen Lingxiu had been staring at Fenghua, and when she saw this, she couldn't wait to get up, "Miss Gu has finally eaten?" It's your turn. ”
