Chapter 40: Relief from Worries
"It's all girls! Singing and dancing are all about showing beautiful ......" Jiang Xingchen was moved when he heard it, although he didn't know much about music and dance, but he also knew that the essence of singing and dancing was to express emotions. In this regard, men and women are the same.
"Go back and remind Sister Wanrou, maybe it can help!" Jiang Xingchen said secretly in his heart, and put this thought down for the time being.
Subsequently, at Jiang Xingchen's signal, Qian Feng and the others drove to a pawnshop with a carriage.
"I was busy in the previous paragraph, and I didn't have time to redeem the jade pendant for Mei'er...... Is this a pawnshop?" Jiang Xingchen said to Mei'er with a smile.
"Hmm!" the little girl nodded vigorously, her face blooming with a smile, and she bit her lower lip tightly to restrain her emotions.
Since noon today, her body and mind have been immersed in joy, first her brother's comfort, then her brother's knighthood, then her brother's name change because he likes stars (she thinks so), and she has taken herself to see a song and dance performance, and now she has redeemed the jade medal for herself...... One surprise after another, like the waves constantly impacting the little girl's heart, so that her emotions continue to accumulate, at this moment, she really wants to indulge daxiao and completely release this joy.
However, outside she can't play with her brother like at home, she can only forcibly suppress it.
The process of redeeming the jade plate was very smooth, and the two hundred citrine coins were thrown over directly, and the shopkeeper ran out of the high counter with the jade pendant in person, and sent it to Jiang Xingchen with both hands.
To Jiang Xingchen's surprise, Mei'er's jade pendant was actually pink, and there had never been such a jade on earth.
"Mei'er!341 year of the Great Moon King Calendar, March 10!" This is the handwriting carved on the jade pendant.
"Dayue Wang Li, Mei'er is not from the Qiankun Empire...... Also, the identity management of the Qiankun Empire is strict, and unless it is voluntary, there is basically no possibility of its own people being sold into slavery...... It's just a little strange, if Mei'er was sold, why would she still have a valuable thing like a jade pendant on her body......"
Although he couldn't figure it out, Jiang Xingchen didn't take it too seriously, anyway, the little girl was his sister, and he didn't treat her as a slave, so he didn't care about her. Thinking about it, Jiang Xingchen handed the jade pendant back to Mei'er.
"The three hundred and forty-first years of the Great Moon King Calendar is the two hundred and twenty years of the Qiankun Calendar!" Mei'er stretched out her hand to take the jade pendant and explained.
"I know, you're thirteen years old this year, and you'll come out as soon as you count it!" Jiang Xingchen smiled and rubbed the little girl's head, and said, "March 10th is Mei'er's birthday, brother remember!"
"Hmm!" the little girl nodded and said happily: "Brother's birthday is June 30th, and Mei'er has always remembered it!"
When I got home, it was already dark, and Jiang Xingchenji bought two pieces of oil in the market and baked scallion pancakes at night.
The sound of sizzling oil, mixed with the rich fragrance of green onions, wafted all over the yard.
But Mei'er didn't show any interest in food this time, just holding a jade pendant in one hand and holding her brother's temporary identity card tightly in the other, sitting there distracted, showing a silly smile from time to time......
"Girl, don't giggle, wash your hands and eat!" After baking the scallion pancake, Jiang Xingchen cut the cake into corners with a knife, and boiled another pot of rice porridge, and then shouted Mei'er.
"Ah...... Oh! it's time to eat!" the little girl woke up and put away the two signs, then shrugged her little nose and sighed, "It's so fragrant!"
Saying that, the little girl quickly fetched water and washed her hands, then served the porridge, set up the chopsticks, and prepared to eat with her brother!
But just when Jiang Xingchen picked up a corner of cake and didn't deliver it to his mouth, a banging knock suddenly sounded.
"I'll go~" Jiang Xingchen was so depressed that he wanted to howl, why every time he was ready to eat, someone came to the door. He now seriously doubted that his friends had calculated it and deliberately rushed to eat here.
"I'll open the door!" Mei'er put down her chopsticks and prepared to get up.
"You're biedong, hurry up and eat, you've been running outside all afternoon, you're definitely hungry!" Jiang Xingchen called out to Mei'er, turned around and walked out of the house.
What made Jiang Xingchen strange was that she didn't pay attention to the aroma of scallion pancakes in the courtyard, and came directly over and grabbed her arm.
"Come with me, Wanrou doesn't want to eat anymore!" said that, he grabbed Jiang Xingchen and was about to go out!
"Ahh
At this time, he already knew that Mo Hongxian was looking for himself to cook for Wanrou, after all, Chef Furongzhai's skills were not as good as his own.
"Sister Hongxian, wait, it's so late, my sister ......"
"It's okay, the second child will come later, with him guarding, it will be fine!"
"Mei'er, my brother has something to do and will come back soon!" Jiang Xingchen greeted loudly, and then ran out of the courtyard with Mo Hongxian.
Mei'er in the house heard her brother's shout, put down her chopsticks and walked out, looked at the door, returned to the house, put away the bread and porridge, put them back in the kitchen, and then sat quietly on the bed with the doll in her arms, her eyes slowly empty, and the corners of her mouth showed a silly smile......
Jiang Xingchen didn't expect that he would leave the Dingbei Hou Mansion at noon, and come again in the evening. Moreover, at noon, it was fortunate that Haode was gentle, but at this time he was already sickly, and his face was a little pale.
Dingbei Hou's rough face with an anxious look, pacing back and forth in the house, Zhao Zixiang has already come, and the result given is that Wanrou has no physical problems, but she is a little weak, she must be exhausted for days, she must eat more meat to replenish, and pay attention to rest.
But now, Wanrou has no appetite again, just frowning and pondering there, still thinking about the choreography of song and dance.
Several times Dingbei Hou wanted to stop Wanrou and prevent her from continuing to perform in song and dance. But when he thought of what his daughter said that night, he didn't want to ruin his daughter's dream.
"I hope this kid can have a way, how can I let Wanrou eat first!" Dingbei Hou muttered, looked at the upper room, and sat down on the chair.
In the back room, Mo Hongxian was complimenting Wanrou on how delicious the dumplings Jiang Xingchen made.
"Wanrou, let my little brother make you a meal to taste in a while, the taste is simply amazing, I ate two heads of garlic last night......"
Jiang Xingchen listened to it from the corner of his eyes: "The dumplings taste good, does it have anything to do with you eating two heads of garlic...... Also, when you coax Sister Wanrou, will you die if you don't talk to me, and call me my little brother ......"
Wanrou smiled when she heard this, slapped Mo Hongxian lightly, and said, "I'm fine, you don't have to worry, it's just not hungry!
"You're not hungry, Master Hou said that you ate a little bit in the morning, and you haven't eaten yet!" Mo Hongxian said a little angrily.
At this time, Jiang Xingchen spoke on the side: "Sister Wanrou has something in her heart, so she doesn't want to eat! Once she puts down the things in her heart, she will immediately feel hungry!"
"Oh?" Mo Hongxian frowned and asked, "Wanrou, is it still because of the song and dance rehearsal?"
"Hmm!" Wanrou nodded, extremely depressed: "I always feel dissatisfied, and the effect of the rehearsal now is not able to qualify for the New Year's song and dance performance." ”
Mo Hongxian straightened her eyes and looked at Jiang Xingchen pleadingly, she didn't know anything about singing and dancing.
Jiang Xingchen pondered for a moment, organized his language, and asked in a low voice: "Sister Wanrou!
"Huh?" Wanrou raised her eyebrows, turned her face to look at Jiang Xingchen, and said in surprise: "The main expression of singing and dancing is beauty, do you think there will be beauty when a man dances?"
"Sister Wanrou, if you only stay in the aspect of beauty, then the development of dance music will come to an end. Jiang Xingchen smiled.
"What do you say?" As soon as she talked about singing and dancing, Wanrou immediately became interested.
"A gray-haired old man, seriously ill, but for the sake of his grandson, who depended on each other, he still worked hard every day to earn money until he died of exhaustion...... An ugly man, in the desert, left Zuihou a sip of water to the girl he liked...... The soldiers of our empire, fighting on the front lines for the sake of the country, Zuihou is likely to be disabled...... Compared with ordinary dance music that expresses beauty, Sister Wanrou thinks that one is more recognizable!"
Wanrou seemed to be struck by lightning, her body shook, her eyes lit up instantly, and she murmured: "You are talking about human emotions......"
Jiang Xingchen continued: "It is human instinct to pursue beautiful things! But the feeling of the soul can be deeply remembered. In the process of growing up, everyone will experience many unforgettable things, naïve, hot-blooded, wild, joyful, sad...... If your dance music can touch their emotions......"
"I see!" Wanrou snapped her head, her eyes shining and a smile on her face.
Jiang Xingchen hadn't finished speaking, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he saw Wanrou's appearance. He didn't know much about music, and he himself felt that the unfathomable words just now were cloudy and ambiguous...... But that's it, Wanrou actually understood.
"One point, Sister Wanrou is simply a musical genius!" Jiang Xingchen nodded, making such a judgment in his heart.
Mo Hongxian looked dazed and asked, "Wanrou, what do you understand?" Jiang Xingchen's words just now, she didn't understand them at all.
Wanrou chuckled and said, "I just found out now that my little brother is the real genius of dance and music, rather than thinking about it like this, it is better to directly ask him to help me!"
"Oops!" Jiang Xingchen staggered, so he fell to the ground, and wailed in his heart: "Sister Wanrou, this is what you said......
Jiang Xingchen felt that he was a little cocooned, but now it was difficult to refuse, he pretended to be too much just now, and the appearance of a superior person was too good to fool people. As a result, if he refused, he was worried that Mo Hongxian, a violent girl, would kill him.
Wanrou was happy, and she also ate, and she ate the dumplings made by Jiang Xingchen, and she also had two cloves of garlic, seeing Jiang Xingchen's mouth twitching, and said secretly: "It's not a family, don't enter a family!"
Hou Ye was also happy, and while shaking off his cheeks and eating, he shouted that it was not enough, and asked Jiang Xingchen to pack it again.
Mo Hongxian was also happy, and the heavy slap made Jiang Xingchen grin.
The only one who was depressed was Jiang Xingchen, who not only took over the task that Wanrou was thinking about, but also made dumplings and served the three foodies......
He was busy until late at night, and Jiang Xingchen returned home with a depressed face.
But the moment he entered the door, Jiang Xingchen smelled the fragrance of scallion pancakes, and a warmth suddenly rose in his heart, and the depression just now was temporarily thrown aside!
