Chapter 037: Dancing Like a Dream
The green willows of the long causeway are in the water, and the jasper lotus leaves are scented in the wind.
In the sunset lake, not far from the berth, a building boat with crimson gauze curtains slowly swam from south to north in the smoke and rain.
On the platform on the top of the boat, a woman in red, Shi Shiran, walked from east to west, facing the west berth.
If her waist is restrained, Luo clothes are squirming. The skirt reached to the knees, and then it was covered only by a light silk veil like mist, and the snow-white calves loomed in the mist. As she walked, above her bare feet, the silver bell jingled.
The girl's red gauze covered half of her face, and Rao was in the hazy mist, and she could also see that her eyes were bright and bright.
Seeing Yu Hao looking, the girl's jade arms were stretched lightly, her clothes fluttered, and she bowed slightly to him.
A flute sounded, clear and elegant, the sound quality was soft, the sound of the piano gradually harmonized, and for a while, the soft and melodious music on the lake became louder.
The breeze drove the ribbon around her waist to fly, and the girl danced to the beat.
Her dancing is like a dream, graceful and unhurried.
The arms are flexible like a snake writhing freely at will, soft as boneless, the body is as soft as a cloud, and the waist and limbs are graceful and windy. Suddenly, he lowered his eyes sideways, showing a low and tactful shyness; Suddenly, the cloud hand was lightly relaxed, showing a charming and delicate state; Suddenly, he turned and jumped in shock, giving birth to lotus step by step, and the smoke and waves were unrestrained.
Yu Hao was dumbfounded, seeing that in the curling smoke, the building boat was getting closer and closer, and the dancing Lingbo fairy was becoming more and more fairy-like.
In the frequent ringing bells, the flowing skirt corners are like gusts of red wind, like drifting thin smoke, like hazy mist. On the veil, a pair of eyes like smoke and water want to speak, swirling and flying, the girl's whole person is a flower through the fog, hazy and ethereal, blooming with beautiful colors, but it is untouchable.
Yu Hao's heart itched.
After a while, Lou Boat changed its direction, moving from the west port of the lake to the east of the lake, and the girl on the stage moved the lotus step and slowly retreated from Yu Hao's eyes.
"Don't go!"
Seeing that the people were getting more and more blurred, Yu Hao was in a hurry, shouted loudly, stretched out his hand in the direction of the building boat, and hurriedly took a few steps forward.
Seeing that Yu Hao was so anxious that he rushed into the water, the attendant grabbed him and reminded, "Son, be careful." ”
Only then did Yu Hao come back to his senses, go to the boat at the berth, and ordered: "Come and row a boat for Lao Tzu!" ”
"But ......" the attendant hesitated: "The slave has not rowed the boat, how can this small boat keep up with that speed......
Yu Hao hurriedly stopped with his robe, raised his eyes and looked left and right, and saw a canopy boat not far away, and there was an old man wearing a hat in a cloak sitting on the bow of the boat, he rushed over in three steps and two steps, jumped on the boat, threw a gold ingot to the old man's leg, and shouted: "Follow the boat!" ”
The old man glanced at the gold ingot and replied, "Okay!" As soon as the boat propped up the lake, he immediately pushed the boat off the shore and went to the center of the lake.
"Childe! Son! Wait, slave! The attendant shouted hurriedly on the shore.
Yu Hao replied: "Wait for Lao Tzu on the spot!" ”
"But you're ...... alone"
Before he could finish his words, the canopy boat sailed into the rain and smoke, blurring his vision.

Xie Zhan was on duty and was about to walk out of Dali Temple, Shi Qing hurriedly approached him and reported in a low voice: "Childe, the people who are following Yu Hao below report that something happened to him." ”
Xie Zhan paused as he walked towards the carriage.
Shi Qing continued: "Drowned in Xizhao Lake. Life is still there, but people are no longer awake. ”
Xie Zhan asked, "Who did it?" ”
Shi Qing shook his head and said that he didn't know, and said: "Also, today Girl Fu and Girl Zhang are also playing in Xizhao Lake." ”
Childe ordered him to arrange for someone to follow the two ends three days ago, which is also a coincidence, and the two heads came to report today in the same place.
Xie Zhan raised his eyes and looked at the umbrella in Shi Qing's hand, his heart jumped, and he squinted.
This weather, play?
"Where are you now?" Xie Zhan asked.
Shi Qing was stunned, and the son asked...... Who? The Yu family, or is it?
A moment later, adhering to the principle of no matter how big or small, he said: "After Yu Hao was rescued, he was taken back by his attendants and the Yu family, and the person who saved him was also detained by the Yu family and taken away. Fu Girl and Zhang Girl, who are still on the boat in Xizhao Lake, have not left. ”
How could there be such a coincidence? Yu Hao had an accident, and Fu Xuan happened to be nearby.
Xie Zhan's face sank, and he said coldly: "Go immediately." ”
**
The boats in Xizhao Lake are divided into three classes. In the first-class ship, there are often singing feasts and singing children; second-class calligraphy and painting; Third-class ships are beautiful women, most of which are flower boats.
In order to celebrate Fu Xuan's birthday, the Fu family rented the most famous first-class boat in Xizhao Lake - "Water Moon Building".
The hull of the Shuiyue Tower is very large, and there is a hall in the middle of the cabin, which is very gorgeously decorated. When the door was closed, a feast was held inside, and the lively and cheerful atmosphere spread, and the movement outside the ship was completely cut off.
At the end of the unitary time, when Xie Zhan arrived at Xizhao Lake, Shuiyue Tower would arrive at the berth.
Because of his concentration on Yu Hao's affairs, Xie Zhan's steps were much hurrier than usual, and his mood also lost his usual peace of mind.
Walking to the outside of the hall of the Water Moon Building, it was vaguely recognizable that the music was high inside, and the girls laughed again and again. Among them, Fu Xuan can be heard calling loudly: "Wanniang, hurry up!" "You come too!" "You, and you, come!"
Suddenly remembering that Wan Niang was born in Hualou, and now she is still inviting others, Xie Zhanjian frowned-
Could it be that she came to play today, and the appointments were all girls from Hualou?
According to her temperament, it seems to have been done.
When Shi Qing knocked on the door for a long time, but still no one answered, Xie Zhan finally lost his patience, raised his foot, and kicked towards the door suddenly.
I only heard a loud "bang" sound, and a very majestic crimson official uniform appeared outside the door.
Above the official uniform, Shaoqing of Dali Temple had a dark face, and his eyes were like cold arrows, shooting straight at everyone in the hall.
Seeing such a scene, everyone in the hall was stunned for a moment.
The music stopped, hooked his arm with Zhang Yao's arm, and Fu Xuan, who was spinning, also stopped moving.
Everyone looked at Xie Zhan in unison, their eyes full of puzzlement.
Xie Zhan didn't speak, he categorically couldn't imagine that in addition to a few girls and singing and dancing children here, there were also a few men from the Fu family.
In the long silence, Fu Yun got up, walked towards Xie Zhan with the jade flute in his hand, and said softly: "Xie Shaoqing is here, but is there something?" Inside please. ”
After Fuyun's friendly invitation, Xie Zhan returned to his senses, and the feast was in full swing here.
He bowed his head and replied politely, "Help the secretary." ”
As soon as his words fell, he heard a very impatient question: "Xuanxuan, can you still jump?" If you don't jump, let go. ”
The one who opened his mouth was Fujia Erlang Fuxiao. This person is as his name suggests, chic and free-spirited. After he finished speaking, he knocked on the small wine table in front of him with the hole flute in his hand.
Fu Xuan was holding a skirt in one hand, and was reminded by Fu Xiao's question, and immediately put down the skirt in her hand to cover her bare feet.
The majestic Shaoqing of Dali Temple came in an official uniform, how can this banquet continue.
The singing and dancing boys who didn't know why lowered their heads and froze, not daring to move, for fear that someone would commit a crime here, so that this imposing official came to arrest him when people were holding a banquet.
The atmosphere froze suddenly.
Fu Qian got up from behind the guqin, walked to Fu Xuan's side with Fu Xiao, and looked at Xie Zhan with the same doubts.
Seeing that the atmosphere was cold and solemn, Xie Zhan didn't open his mouth in another official robe, Fu Xuan thought for a while, and hurried away: "Brother Xiao, Brother Qian, you and your brother will go back first, and you will have to be busy tomorrow." Xie Gongzi came this time, Xu had just been on duty, and he was in a hurry to celebrate my birthday. ”
He said to Zhang Yao again: "Yaoyao, you can go back." ”
Zhang Yao glanced at Fu Xuan deeply, then let go of her arm and walked out of Shuiyue Tower with a few Lang Jun.
