『Volume 2: The Golden Volume』 "Xia Kexing" Chapter 8 The dancing girl is not easy to be

"Sister, wake up!"

Yinxia, who was sleeping soundly, was woken up by a rapid cry in her ears. She rolled over and continued to catch up on sleep. She came back at dawn, and she's struggling now.

"If you don't get up again, you're going to be late!

The quilt on her body was lifted, Yinxia closed her eyes, and touched the quilt back dissatisfied.

"Today, Master Xu is choosing someone in the East Campus, are you still going?" In her ears, the woman's voice became more and more anxious, "If you don't go, it's too late!"

Yinxia was startled and opened her eyes suddenly. In front of her, Zheng Mingxiu, who was dressed, was yelling at her.

Oops, almost delayed the big thing!

She sat up at once, and hurriedly put on her dance skirt. Zheng Mingxiu helped her put on the ornament.

At this moment, the chiming clock began to ring, and Yinxia grabbed Zheng Mingxiu and rushed out in a panic like a cat with its tail stepped on.

Fortunately, the east campus was not far from the residence, and when the bell rang, the two of them just stepped into the gate at the same time.

While gasping, Yinxia quickly sorted out her dance skirt, and secretly complained in her heart: Childe's dance skirt is too cumbersome to wear. Remembering the events of last night, she resented even more: this person always likes to make simple things complicated and mysterious.

"Shut the door, and no one who comes after you is allowed to put it in. ”

A man's majestic words came from the door. His voice was low and pleasant, like Yu Xiao blowing, although it was only a short word, but it was so low that it seemed to have a melody.

"Yes, Master Xu. A woman replied respectfully, her voice sounding familiar.

"Oh my God, Master Xu is here!" Zheng Mingxiu exclaimed in a low voice, stretching out his finger and poking Yinxia, who was bowing her head and dressing up.

Yinxia looked for prestige, only to see that on the other side of the door, a handsome man was standing side by side with the third chief steward, Wen Hui.

His figure is not tall, only two fingers taller than Wen Hui, but the proportions are extremely proportional. It's obviously a man, but it gives people a gorgeous feeling. At this time, although he had a serious expression that did not smile, there was still an indescribable charm between his eyebrows. At first glance, he is only twenty-four or five years old, but the majesty of a pair of phoenix eyes can only be possessed by those who have experienced wind and frost.

The man glanced at Yinxia and frowned imperceptibly. All the dancing girls present were dressed up, and only this woman was facing the sky.

Wen Hui also noticed Yinxia, and a smile drifted through her eyes. This girl is really interesting, she is as comfortable as a matter of course with no makeup and a gorgeous dance dress.

Hearing Wen Hui's address to the man, the dancers in the school immediately began to talk about each other.

"He is the world-famous Master Xu Zizhan Xu?"

"So young, so beautiful!"

"No, Master Xu has been famous for more than 20 years, even if he debuted as a teenager, he should be at least more than 30 years old now, right?"

"Could it be his apprentice?"

"But just now, Mr. Wen clearly called him Master Xu. ”

"I really don't know how he takes care of it, he looks so young. I'm so envious, if only I could be like him at his age. ”

Xu Zizhan stood quietly beside the door with an indifferent expression, deaf to the discussions of the dancing girls.

At his command, the gate of the school yard was slowly being closed.

The door was made of hardwood, three fingers thick, and covered with carved copper sheets, which was extremely heavy, and the two sturdy Zhuang Ding were divided into left and right forces, but they could only push it very slowly.

Just as the gate was about to close, a fresh-dressed dancer hurried in. Seeing this scene, she hurriedly grabbed the crack of the door with her thin white fingers, and begged Zhuang Ding bitterly: "Two big brothers, please help open the door." I wasn't late, I just missed the hour of my makeup. ”

The two Zhuang Ding stopped in embarrassment and turned their heads to look at the person who ordered them.

Wen Hui glanced at the dancing girl outside the door, and pleaded with Xu Zizhan in a low voice: "I know this girl, she was recommended by Jinlinzhai, and she danced well, can you be accommodating?"

Xu Zizhan shook his face, "Practicing dance is like training soldiers, those who can't be punctual are not worthy of practicing dance under me!"

His voice was extremely cold, and his beautiful face was solemn, and he vaguely exuded a solemn aura. It was a noisy and noisy school field, but because of his words, it suddenly fell silent.

This sentence is fresh! Yinxia couldn't help but be a little interested in this Master Xu.

"Did you hear what Master Xu said, don't close the door quickly. Wen Hui turned to Zhuang Ding and said.

The door closed, and the woman who was blocked out banged on the door and cried. The sound of remorse came, making the hearts of those who heard it feel close.

Xu Zizhan's eyes turned to the school ground, and the dancers who were still chattering like birds just now suddenly fell silent. He strutted up to the high platform. Everywhere they passed, the dancing girls retreated to both sides like frightened birds.

On the high platform, Xu Zizhan glanced at the audience and said majestically: "I am Xu Zizhan, and I will be waiting for you to teach from today on." You should have heard that the birthday dance in Wenfu needs 100 dancing girls, but there are more than 200 people here. Therefore, more than half of them will be eliminated. Those who want to stay must be regarded as my commander and obey my orders, or else let me out now!" he pointed to the door with great momentum.

The audience was silent.

After a pause, he spoke again: "If you don't follow the rules, you can't make a circle." Since no one is leaving, let me first state the rules. My rules are: Those who fail to pass the basic skills will not stay! Those who do not dress in accordance with the norms will not stay! Those who do not care about learning to dance will not stay! I don't care what your background is, on this school field, I am your commander, and you are my soldiers. Whoever violates my orders will not be left behind!"

After a few moments, he glanced at the audience again with a majestic gaze, and asked in a loud voice, "Do you understand?"

"Got it!" replied in unison. Those who can pass Wen Hui's initial test are not ordinary people. Although some people are timid, most of them are eager to try.

"Now let's start the basic skills test. ”

Taking a few steps back from the side of the high platform, Xu Zizhan's body bent backwards and made a standard lower waist movement. Then with a soft flip, he stood on the ground, his arms spread out like swallows, and his right leg slowly raised above his head. After a moment's pause, he leaned forward, his right leg thrown back, his back raised like a bow, his toes touching his head, and he froze.

Although the movements he makes are just the daily practice of dancers, they are both rigid and soft, and there is a degree of advance and retreat. There seems to be a silent song, accompanied by dancing, resounding in the hearts of everyone present.

After some movements, he retracted lightly and said in a flat tone: "Go to the front of the stage and do it again." If you can't do it, let me leave now. ”

There was a commotion in the audience. Several fishers in troubled waters left gloomily. The rest of the dancing girls were arranged into eight columns by Wen Hui and rehearsed in order in front of the stage.

On the high platform, Xu Zizhan looked at it row by row. His vision is very critical, and he points out all those who are not accurate. With his fingers, Wen Hui ordered Zhuang Ding in the audience to invite people out. After one round, fifty or sixty people were eliminated at once.

The morning rushed by.

After lunch, the musicians play music. Xu Zizhan demonstrated a practice dance and made the dancers who stayed behind dance it again. After this round, more than 20 people were eliminated with poor musicality or unclear rhythm.

Yinxia followed up with the basic skills and practice dance. She has practiced martial arts since she was a child and has a solid foundation, so these actions naturally cannot be difficult for her. And the Gaochang clan is known for being able to sing and dance, and simple practice dance is nothing to her.

Zheng Mingxiu's dancing skills are not weak, and he passed the test with Yinxia, and the two were compiled into a team.

After two rounds, it was getting late.

Xu Zizhan lectured the whole team: "If the rules are not established today, I will spare you first." From tomorrow, you will have to come in a dance costume and have your makeup done in advance. If you can't do it, you don't have to come. The dancers can't even get their outfits neat, do you think they're street beggars?"

Zheng Mingxiu secretly stuck out his tongue at Yinxia: Master Xu, this is talking about you.

Yinxia winked at her and raised her head: Isn't it just makeup, I will!

After the group dispersed, the two returned to their guest room, where a steaming meal was already on the table. After a while, a girl brought the same dance dress and makeup supplies to the two of them. The whole dress is brand new from the inside out, and the makeup supplies are also available.

Zheng Mingxiu couldn't put it down, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yunfengzhai's dance clothes and Lianxiangge's rouge, although they are standard, these things are also worth a lot of money." This Wen family is really as rumored by the outside world, that is, rich and rival the country, and generous. ”

"It's true that you can be rich and rival the country, but it's not necessarily possible to be generous. Yinxia swept the Wen family's belongings aside disdainfully, "In my opinion, it's just buying people's hearts." ”

Zheng Mingxiu tilted her head to look at her, "My sister seems to have a bad opinion of the Wen family, has his family ever offended you?"

Yinxia didn't want to say more, so she said, "I'm just dissatisfied with Master Xu's words. Many people from outside the region came to the Central Plains to dance, and many talented people could only perform on the street because they had no reputation, so why was he called a beggar who was a street performer?

"My sister probably doesn't know that Master Xu is a person with real skills. His disciples are all famous in the capital. Although others are a little stricter, it is also a strict teacher and a high apprentice. ”

Yinxia snorted and didn't argue with her.

After a tiring day, after eating, the two went to sleep.

Nothing was said all night. Early the next morning, the two dressed up and came to the school on time.

From this point on, Xu Zizhan began to arrange the dancers to dance. He is extremely strict with every movement of the dancing girls, and if he is slightly dissatisfied, he will open his mouth to train people.

"Why are your movements as stiff as wood? Others grew up eating rice, but you grew up eating wood chips. ”

"This young lady, are you so stingy with your smile? This is a birthday dance, you want to cry and go home to cry!"

"Look at this crooked paw, you can directly become a monkey when you take it out. Do you think it's a monkey show?"

......

When he was training, his expression was calm and his tone was understated, but the bad meaning of his words made many of the trained dancers cry.

After two days like this, Xu Zizhan not only rehearsed the same dance endlessly from morning to night, but also demanded that everyone must be smiling and moving in unison. If one person does not smile or moves unneatly, all the staff must rehearse.

The dancers all felt bored and unbearable, and secretly complained, but because of Xu Zizhan's obscenity, no one dared to say half a word in person.

It's finally time for lunch break. Xu Zizhan concluded his remarks: "I have never met such a stupid person as Ruer and others who are so rotten and difficult to carve. When they came, they all claimed to have practiced dance for many years, but they couldn't do the basic movements well, not to mention, and they were still miserable all day long. You are so clumsy, you dare to call yourself a dancing girl? Whoever makes this place remote will have to settle. Let's do it first, and come back when you're fed. ”

The dancers secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and tears flowed silently in their hearts: they want people to smile, and they have to be meticulous in their movements, where is this Master Xu training people as soldiers, he just doesn't practice people as people at all!

After the meal, the dancers get together to rest and chat. Xu Zizhan's shadow was still looming, no one dared to talk about him, and the topics they talked about revolved around the Wen family.

Yinxia sat around with everyone, and then she knew that there were four sons in the Wen family, named after "Wen, Cai, Wu, and Luo".

She suddenly had a strange thought, "Literary and martial arts, this Master Wen is really proud." Besides, how did he know that he would be able to give birth to four sons? ”

"What's so strange. He doesn't know, someone knows. The dancing girl next to her quickly replied, "I heard that a god calculated a hexagram for him back then, saying that he must have four sons in his life." ”

The Central Plains is really a place where there are many capable people, and there is such a miraculous calculation. Yinxia secretly claimed to be surprised, and was about to ask about God's calculation, but the women had already turned the topic to the four sons of the Wen family.

The eldest son Wen Haowen and the second son Wen Haocai are both married, and the girls are not interested in talking more, and they are talking about the fourth son Wen Haowu.

"Speaking of the fourth son of Wen, it is really peerless, famous all over the world. I've heard that he once single-handedly singled out the lair of the Jiangnan bandits, and he was unscathed. ”

He also once went to the 12 serial docks in Jiangnan alone alone, and he did not know the chief helmsman of the twelve serial docks and became close friends. That battle is still a good story in the rivers and lakes. ”

"When I come to the Wen family this time, what I want to see most is the fourth son of Wen!"

"Oh, I think so too! If you enter the Wen Mansion but don't see the fourth son of Wen, then you will teach people to regret it for life. ”

"Have you heard of it? This time, Master Wen wants to choose a suitable wife for the fourth son of his family. ”

......

The women were talking lively, and the heavy school gate was pushed open from the outside.

"Hey, look, it's Fourth Prince Wen here!" a woman shouted excitedly.

A sentence is like a bait in the flat lake, and all the dancing girls are like bubbling goldfish, rushing towards the door.

Yinxia looked through the crowd, the person at the door was cold and arrogant, extraordinary, and sure enough, it was the man in white that he met that night.
