Chapter 63: Humiliation
Although there is some humiliation in these words, it is indeed telling the truth.
Everyone will choose the children of the grandchildren, and the ones who continue the strings later, no matter what, are much worse than the children of the grandchildren, after all, one is justifiable, and the other is opportunistic, and the difference between this is more than a star and a half.
When the eldest princess heard this, she also smiled and nodded, although she didn't understand what the relationship between the two sisters was? But think about it.
Such a stunning beauty, who has never been able to participate in a banquet since she was a child, must be able to see the attitude of this family, and she is a small family who is not on the table, and she is also trying to win over the Xie family.
"That's right, the palace likes to watch singing and dancing on weekdays, and someone has prepared a song and dance today, since everyone is here, let's hurry up and get lively, and the palace will arrange for everyone to have dinner in Sanjiangyuan for a while."
Dancing in front of the eldest princess is a rare opportunity, and more importantly, there are some things that can only be encountered once in this life, such as confessing to your sweetheart.
If you are not good enough, how can you attract people you admire? At the beginning, Cao Yuanniang's title as the first talented woman in the capital was won at a banquet.
The other women all enthusiastic, and one of the daughters of the seven-rank official stood up first, curtsied, and said.
"The little girl is the daughter of the seven-rank garrison officer Duan Dafa, and her dancing posture is clumsy, but she wants to make the eldest princess smile, and she bothers the master to play music for me."
The music sounded slowly, and the woman danced in response, although the dance was not amazing, but it must have been prepared for many days, at least from the perspective of the movements, it was very familiar, and it could be regarded as a rare visual enjoyment, but it was a pity that this kind of thing that was robbed of glory was not what the eldest lady of the Cao family wanted to see.
"What do you think is a good dance? I didn't expect it to be just Dong Shi Xiaofeng, if I'm not mistaken, the first time this dance was danced, it was when this girl celebrated her uncle's birthday, and the person who danced at the beginning was still here, and the girl Dong Shi Xiaofeng was boring, but fortunately, I also prepared something else, otherwise you will be slapped in the face, and your face must not look good. ”
Being sarcastically ridiculed like this, the tears on the little girl's face were full of tears, and she bit her lower lip in embarrassment, almost with tears.
"This dance was specially said by the eldest lady of the Cao family to be danced alone? My family background is not obvious, and I really can't hire any good teachers, but this dance is also my own hard study for several days to learn, is it that if you dance well, you are not allowed to dance anymore? ”
Cao Yuanniang almost nodded, but then she stopped talking again, not giving everyone the impression of being arrogant and domineering.
In the end, she just pursed her lips and said with some contempt in her tone.
"Did I let you humiliate yourself? If you have to learn my dance in front of me, what if I point out a little mistake? ”
Seeing that the two women here were about to quarrel, the eldest princess became more and more impatient, and reprimanded coldly.
"This princess wants to watch singing and dancing, not to watch the two of you fight, this dance doesn't have to be danced by yourself, others can't dance anymore, if Miss Cao can't control her mouth, please leave here first, the province will lose your family's face in this mixed place of men and women, so that the other girls of the Cao family can't get married."
Almost with some reprimand, the eldest princess forcefully stopped the quarrel at this moment, and then gentler and said to the garrison's daughter.
"This palace sees that your dance is very good, but don't forget to take care of your body on weekdays, today such a dance will be seriously studied for half a month, so how can it work? The most important thing for all of us women is to learn to be in charge, and go back to learn all of this, and naturally give it to you, if not, you will come to the palace and say, this palace will come to the palace and ask Your Majesty to give you a marriage, and the talents of the capital will be chosen by you. ”
Being able to talk to the eldest princess, it was already an honor that she couldn't imagine to get two words of encouragement from the eldest princess, she was almost speechless with excitement, and after nodding her head again and again to thank the eldest princess, she took a piece of jade pendant given by the eldest princess and retreated silently.
Others also performed songs and dances on stage, and some people even made a limerick poem on the spot, with some golden carvings and jade masonry, but fortunately, the idea came quickly, and it can be regarded as brilliant.
Soon it was time for Cao Yuanniang, who had just gone to change her clothes, to perform.
Cao Yuanniang deliberately changed into a gauze skirt with her arms exposed for this action, although the clothes were a little bold, but this time she was going to dance a Huxuan dance, if there were no such clothes, this dance would not be good-looking.
So she simply asked her family to choose this dress, this dance is enthusiastic and infectious, which can best reflect a woman's soft appearance.
Soon, her dancing appearance attracted a series of emotions from everyone, even the eldest princess had to adjust her state, and she was obviously very admired for her dance.
Dong Xiangjun also had to sigh, it was indeed good, it seemed that although her face was a little vicious and her mind was dirty, this eldest lady still paid attention to self-improvement on weekdays, even if she had won the title of the first talented woman in Beijing, she did not stop improving, this dance is simply a kind of enjoyment.
When the music came down, she ended the dance with a stunning spin that everyone nodded their heads in.
The eldest princess's attitude couldn't help but soften, and she said with some joy in her tone.
"That's good, you dance so well, you should focus on this, it's okay to think less about other things, girls' families, less thoughts, it will definitely be happier to look back, not to mention that you have a good background, and you are a tiger girl, don't go the wrong way."
finally got a compliment from the eldest princess, and finally her hard work was not in vain, Cao Yuanniang nodded with satisfaction, and then looked up with some provocation in her tone, and her eyes pointed directly at Dong Xiangjun, who was watching the excitement on the side.
"Seeing that Her Royal Highness the princess loves this young grandmother so much, I am also curious, what kind of ability does this young grandmother have? I wonder if you can show it up? I love to watch the excitement, I like these singing and dancing, everywhere is good? I wonder if my sister is willing to show it to me? ”
Everyone looked at it at once, can this young grandmother know these songs and dances? Not necessarily, I'm afraid.
She was just from the Dong family, so she can't be very good, I'm afraid she won't be able to hire any good teachers, and if she really doesn't learn well, she will still be ashamed in vain, so she might as well shirk and can't sing and dance.
However, the other party quickly cut off the back road as if he knew her excuse.
"I heard that the daughter of the Dong family is amazingly talented, it can't be, right?"
