374 Dance of the Neon Clothes and Feathers
Before Xiong Wei could react, Xiaoyaozi and Shi Zhongyu stepped into the building with a smile, and he instinctively shouted, "Master! β
didn't think about it, Xiaoyaozi ignored him at all.
Xiong Wei had no choice but to hurriedly follow him in.
When they entered the building, they had a wide field of vision, and there were all kinds of flowers and plants arranged along the building, which were elegant and pleasant.
Xiong Wei saw Xiaoyaozi and Shi Zhongyu standing in front, and walked over while watching.
At this time, under the dim light, Xianyun Pavilion looked unique.
They wanted to find an empty table to sit down, but there were people everywhere, and they were standing.
"It's already great on the outside, but I didn't expect it to be an eye-opener inside. Xiaoyaozi sighed, he thought that he had been to many places and seen many green buildings, but he didn't expect that this Xianyun Pavilion gave people a different feeling.
"It's really the largest and most luxurious Qinglou in Beijing, I'm really eye-opening. Shi Zhongyu still couldn't help but sigh.
"The dΓ©cor is not only luxurious, but also very substantial. Xiaoyaozi added.
"Is there one?" Xiong Wei looked at it, these decorations were indeed much more gorgeous than ordinary green buildings. However, he didn't see any connotation.
Xiaoyaozi looked at his puzzled look, knocked on his head and said, "Let you learn more poetry and songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting from me on weekdays, you don't learn." Can't see it now?"
Xiong Wei scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Master, don't you take the apprentice's short in front of this stone girl, why don't you teach me now?"
Xiaoyaozi shook his head, smiled and said, "If you teach, you may not be able to learn." Even if you learn it now, you will forget it after a while. β
"Master......" Xiong Wei said embarrassedly, "I'm holding Buddha's feet temporarily." β
"Look at his couplet, the upper couplet is: persuade the king to drink more wine, and the lower couplet is: Sell eternal sorrow with you. Although it was selected from two verses respectively, it has already demonstrated the bearing of the pavilion master. β
"There is also the pair of vases below, which are obviously high-quality porcelain produced in Jingdezhen, Jiangxi, and the style of blue and white porcelain looks good, which is really appropriate for the couplet. β
Shi Zhongyu followed Xiaoyaozi's words as she spoke, pointing to the pair of blue and white porcelain vases more than a meter high that were placed directly opposite them.
Shi Zhongyu continued: "These tables and chairs are not ordinary wood. It is obviously the most high-grade rosewood of the mahogany. This is already rare, and the porcelain on these tables already looks very delicate from a distance. β
"The carving of this whole attic is not simple. Xiaoyaozi also analyzed next to him, "And you look at that painting, this is a picture of Zhou Fang waving a fan in the Tang Dynasty, although it is a fake, but the painting skills are already very high, and ordinary people can't do it." β
Xiong Wei looked at it for a while, and he was dazzled when he saw it. Although under the analysis of Master and Shi Zhongyu, he did feel that it was different from ordinary Qinglou, but if they didn't say it, he wouldn't be able to see why.
At this moment, Xiong Wei suddenly heard a somewhat familiar voice. When he turned around, it turned out to be the old bustard.
When the old bustard saw Xiong Wei hurriedly came over to say hello, he said, "Ouch! β
"Mom, you're so lively today. Why don't you hurry up and find me a seat?" said Xiong Wei, and took out another ingot of silver for her.
"Uncle, I knew you would come, the location is the best, and I have already prepared it for you. β
When Xiong Wei heard this, his brows tightened, and he subconsciously looked at the old bustard and asked, "Mom, do you know the future, I haven't told you, how do you know that I will come?"
When the old bustard heard this, he immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly added: "Ouch, my thousand drinks will be so lively, how can the uncle not come to join in the fun?"
"Mom......" Xiong Wei wanted to retort again, but Xiaoyaozi grabbed him.
He looked back at Xiaoyaozi, who gave him a look.
Xiong Wei knew what Xiaoyaozi meant, turned his head to look at the old bustard and said, "Mom, this is not leading the way." β
"Yes, please. "The bustard took them to a separate accooptery, the front of the pavilion was empty, condescending, with a very good view of the performance outside.
"My lord, you wait here for a while, and the show will start soon. The bustard finished and left.
The old bustard hurriedly came to the other accord where Xia Yun was sitting, and whispered, "Girl, you guessed well. And they came. β
"Is everything arranged?" Xia Yun said coldly.
"It's arranged. β
"Let's get started. Xia Yun waved her hand, and the old bustard went down very interestingly.
Xiong Wei glanced around, and there was always a feeling of uneasiness in his heart, and his eyes looked at the stairs before he and Xiaoyaozi shook off from it. He knew that the mechanism was not open now, and there was no danger. However, when he and Master came today, how could the old bustard arrange such a private seat?
Xiong Wei thought about it and said, "Master, how do I feel that this Accord seems to have been kept for us on purpose, could there be any hidden weapon?"
Xiong Wei said as he banged on the wall inside the attic, his ear pressed against the wall, listening carefully.
After all, Xiaoyaozi has been weathered for a long time, he sat at the table leisurely, and said unhurriedly: "If you come, you will be safe, don't be impatient, don't be impatient." β
Xiaoyaozi saw that Xiong Wei was still knocking on the east and looking west, and said, "You can sit down, the show has already begun." β
As soon as the words fell, a piece of sky-blue flannel was pulled down the stairs, completely covering the entire staircase and the ground, and everyone seemed to be between the sky and the sea.
At this time, the music sounded, and a woman sang while stroking the harp:
Lingering tears like autumn rain, a few light sprinkles of hatred, long smoke, water, cool breeze, frightened dreams, timidity, cowardice, sorrow, sorrow, lazy, empty, moon, shadow, lonely, cold night, Qingge, a song to break the east wind, how to blush, blushing, Ying Fei, frozen, confidant, butterfly, difficult to become a pair, a touch of sorrow, thrush slightly wrinkled, for whom the soul is thin......
I saw through the past, I passed away with the wind, and this life is not a long night......
People looked in the direction of the sound of the piano, and a woman was on the second floor, playing the guqin.
After one song, she changed to another tune.
At this time, more than a dozen white-clothed women ran down the stairs on both sides, each of them holding a lotus flower in their mouths, forming a circle in the middle, and their long sleeves flowing slowly, like a gurgling spring by the lake.
Xianyun Pavilion, which was still very noisy just now, suddenly became much quieter, and everyone looked at these women in amazement.
While everyone was watching with relish, another woman floated down from the air, the woman was bare-shouldered, grasping a white ribbon, circling in the air, and then slowly falling, standing in the middle of the building and dancing.
In the middle is like a big stage, and the women in white surround her, and from a distance it looks like a white cloud fluttering in the air.
The woman was in the clouds, and her long skirt with light red trim was clinging to the green ground, and the green water was rippling, just like a water lily flower that had just come out of the water.
More than a dozen women don't know when, and they put on a fixed pose. Some women hold lotus flowers high above their heads, some women hold lotus flowers in their hands, and some women bend back with lotus flowers in their mouths.
The woman in red suddenly jumped down into the air, stood on the head of the woman with the lotus flower on her head, jumped over, and flew into the hand of the person holding the lotus flower in her hand.
And so she jumped from one flower to another.
"This woman's light skills are so powerful!" Xiong Wei not only admired, but he asked himself, he didn't have as light a step as she did when he jumped on the lotus pond like this.
"What's so hard about that. Her dance steps are imitations of the steps of Zhao Feiyan, the empress of the Han Dynasty. Shi Zhongyu was not modest. She suddenly had a slight sadness on her face, "If Shui Hibiscus is still alive, she will dance ten times better than this woman." The gait is also lighter than his. β
When Shi Zhongyu mentioned the water hibiscus, he didn't feel a little sad in his heart. Now that he thinks about it, he is still a little sorry for the water hibiscus. He secretly sighed in his heart: Yes, Shui Hibiscus is a versatile woman!
"If you are drunk alone, you will not hurt if you break your bowels. Xiaoyaozi took a lyric and coughed twice, "This kind of dance is rare, keep watching." β
They looked back at the middle of the dance floor.
The woman in red slowly fell, and the more than ten women in white just now all surrounded her and surrounded her tightly.
Suddenly, the more than a dozen women, all leaning back, at the same time shaking their long sleeves, as if gurgling water.
"Wow!" the crowd exclaimed.
It turned out that the woman in red just now changed her outfit and turned into a white veil, with a light blue ribbon flying up and down in her hand, like a nine-day fairy descending to earth, not touching the dust.
The woman suddenly threw out her water sleeves and kept spinning in the middle of the stage, and the dozen or so women around her fell down in an orderly manner.
After all these women fell, the woman in the middle also stopped, lowered her head, and smiled back charmingly, which was touching.
All the women around her got up again, dragging her feet. It looks like a fairy stepping on floating clouds.
The surrounding women flicked the woman in the middle up hard, and the woman jumped up, grabbed the white ribbon in the air, and danced in the middle.
The woman danced and sang in her mouth: "The sky is sinking and the night is not young, and the blue cloud fairy song is dancing." A jade flute went into the air, and the moon was full and the Lishan Palace was leaking. β
Xiong Wei was attracted by this dance, and couldn't help but say, "How can I have a dreamlike feeling, as if I am in a sea of clouds." β
Xiaoyaozi smiled but did not answer. Don't talk about Xiong Wei, he himself has this feeling, as if he is swimming among the clouds.
When Shi Zhongyu saw it, a lot of goosebumps suddenly appeared, and she couldn't help but say: "What a neon dress and feather dance, I'm the title of the first prostitute in Jiangnan, I'm afraid I'm going to give it to her." β
"You say this song is a long-lost dance of neon clothes and feathers?" Xiaoyaozi exclaimed.
Shi Zhongyu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not sure either, but the song she sang is "Neon Clothes and Feather Song". β
Shi Zhongyu said this, Xiaoyaozi was even more curious, stared intently at these dancing women, and said: "According to legend, this song has been lost after the Tang Dynasty. Only in the grottoes of Dunhua Mogao Grottoes, there are some mural movements. β
Xiaoyaozi said thoughtfully: "This dance was composed by Tang Taizong after sleepwalking, reflecting his desire to go to the Moon Palace to see the fairy in his yearning for the gods. After waking up, in order to make him happy, Yang Guifei only rehearsed this dance in a day and a half. β
"It's also one of the pinnacles of dance to this day. Shi Zhongyu felt a little regretful in his heart, "Shui Furong and I once wanted to rehearse this dance, but we collected too few movements to practice it at all." I didn't expect to be here today to be an eye-opener. β
Shi Zhongyu watched the woman in red constantly change her movements, and couldn't help but praise again: "That step just now, for dance skills, is already difficult to continue, and this neon feather coat is a hundred times more difficult." I really admire it. β
"The more it happened, the more I felt that something was wrong. Xiong Wei suddenly tightened his nerves again.
Xiaoyaozi had an indifferent look, but he was completely immersed in this song and dance.
