046 Stealing Love

August 15th. Mid-Autumn Festival. In the afternoon, good time. In previous years, the day of Qixing City's selection of flower leaders was set on the third day of March, which was the day for talented and beautiful women to go on an outing. This year, because the third day of March is the wedding day of King Jing, it has been postponed to the Mid-Autumn Festival.

It is the sun, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, and the autumn is cool. The whole Qixing City is bathed in the bright sunshine, and it is full of beautiful and prosperous. The location of Huakui is located in Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and there is a special stage. After the stage is the place for rest and the girls who have not come.

Murong Xueyan and Yan Wushuang brought the "Women's Music Square" group, Ru Meng and Ziyuan, who represented Mingcui Square, to Xiaoxiang Pavilion. When the group entered the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, the girls in each courtyard had arrived. They stood in a room, and the strong smell of powder made Murong Xueyan a little dizzy. After explaining a few words about the game, Murong Xueyan left with Yan Wushuang and came to the audience of Mr. Xiaoxiang.

The elegant seat in the front row is full of princes and talented people in Qixing City. In the middle seat is Fu Junling. It is said that his family is rich and financial resources are as good as ten thousand. He is righteous and upright, but he is widely praised. He is not as rich and unkind and notorious. In recent years, the bounty for the selection of Huakui has been paid by him, and he has also presided over the Huakui Competition in recent years. Yan Wushuang and Murong Xueyan sat on the seats set up for mothers in the second row, waiting for the official opening of the game. For a moment, there was a loud noise until the curtain on the stage opened, and dozens of girls stood in a row. Because the dream was the flower leader of the previous year, she stood in the middle.

The east of Xiaoxiang Pavilion is the moat of Qixing City, and it is also very lively in the river today. The painting rowed a long dragon, and it was also full of people watching the bustle.

It's almost time. Fu Junling got up and walked to the stage and motioned everyone to be quiet. Then he said in a loud voice, "Fu is not talented. I have to be abandoned by everyone. He has been elected as the leader of Qicheng for several years in order to have fun with everyone. Today, let's enjoy the elegant demeanor of the beautiful woman, and those who get the flower will be rewarded with a thousand taels of gold to express our congratulations. In addition, like last year, there will be an additional 'team' competition this year, which won the first place in the team and won 500 taels of gold. Murong Xueyan looked at her appearance, but she saw that he was wearing a purple casual suit, without a crown on his head, long and jade standing, and handsome. Although he had passed the year, he was still elegant and described him handsome, which was very different from the rich body she had ever seen.

There was a lot of cheers under the stage. I think everyone can't wait for the start of the Huakui election. When Murong Xueyan saw that Yan Wushuang left her seat, she was wondering why. She walked around the back of Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and then stood in the center of the stage and announced loudly, "The competition begins. Please show your talents in order. First, Meixiang Building, Green Pearl Girl." It turned out that because Ru Meng was Hua Kui last year, Yan Wushuang was lucky to play the role of "reporter" on the stage.

Murong Xueyan stared at the stage without blinking. This is the ancient Huakui competition! She has only seen it on TV before. Today, she has this good opportunity, and she must not miss a trace of it! A beautiful woman came out with a pipa in her arms, slightly blessed the crowd, and sat down gracefully. Dressed in a light green dress, with a graceful figure and beautiful eyebrows, she is indeed a rare beauty. In Murong Xueyan's view, her appearance is not lower than that of Tu Lanruo.

Gently close and twist slowly, the jade finger gently brush, but the tune is not completed, and the rhyme comes first. She sang while playing the pipa:

"Flowers on the branches, flowers under people, poor colors are youthful.

Yesterday, I saw the flowers burning, and today I saw that the flowers were about to fall.

......”

Murong Xueyan once heard this song like a dream, but this time she sang it, which was even more touching. The jade face is low, the singing voice is beautiful, and Bai Mei sits in middle school.

"Good!" Everyone was full of admiration. The green bead blessed again and retreated by itself.

Yan Wushuang appeared again and stood in the middle of the stage and shouted, "Second, Miss Yuxiu, the top girl in Fenglai Pavilion."

Yuxiu came to the center of the stage. She is dressed in a bright red dress, which is very consistent with the autumn sky. Her performance is a dance. Her waist and limbs were swinging, weak and boneless. Her hands were held high on the top of her head, holding them into a calyx-like shape, and her jade fingers were slender. With the slight swing of her body, she kept gently brushing and spinning, and every movement was just right and charming.

......

"Fifth place, the top card of Mingcuifang, like a dream girl."

Like a dream today, it is more beautiful than usual. It is dressed in a snow-white skirt, which is naturally beautiful, clean and refined. The face is only slightly pink, which highlights the facial features. It has a simple double ring bun on the head and a white jade hairpin. At a glance, it does not feel luxurious, but it is amazing.

Ru Meng stood in the middle of the stage and danced to the phoenix. When the piano sounded, she opened her hands, her sleeves flew in both directions, and danced gently, fluttering like a fairy. Lightly on the ground, instantly condense the force on the tip of the foot, then turn over and jump, easily turn around several times in the air, and then land steadily. The legs bounce up gently and leap into one, coherent and orderly, and colorful. When the sound of the piano suddenly comes to **, it is like a dream that still points the ground with the tip of its feet and swings its body quickly. It is like a surprise flying, and it is like a fairy coming to the mortal. At the end of the sound, it is stable and standing firmly, like a phoenix spreading its wings, and its posture is extremely beautiful.

......

"The eleventh, Miss Ziyuan from Mingcuifang."

Ziyuan's "comeback" is well known for designing songs and dancing for her as early as Murong Xueyan, and her grades are not bad. At this time, when he appeared on the stage again, it also made everyone wait.

She wears a light purple dress today, which looks elegant and elegant. She sat down and prepared a case in front of her, with a Guzheng on it. It is also today that Murong Xueyan knows that Ziyuanyuan can also play Guzheng - perhaps, this is one of the "signature skills" of ancient brothel women.

I only listened to her softly, but it was a song "No Regret" that Murong Xueyan taught her in the past:

"Send you green clothes in the sunset and the grass is sad

It's hard to get together. Why do you feel so hard to meet? There is no word of hatred

Meet you and listen to the sycamore night rain on the lonely pillow

The heart is like water blowing down the plum blossom song

The spring breeze is intoxicated and you are not sad. Who will snuggle with you when you wake up in your dream?

Acacia travels all over the rivers overnight. If you have love, you will testify and never regret

The spring breeze is intoxicated and you can't wake up. Don't ask if you are drunk or not.

Acacia travels all over the thousands of rivers overnight, and it is also for you to die and alone for you

......”

The lyrics are touching and sincere, coupled with superb piano skills, which makes everyone intoxicated. After singing a song, the sound of applause is like a tide, which is even stronger than the dance like a dream.

After the personal Huakui competition, he paused for a moment. Yan Wushuang came on stage and cleared his throat and said, "Next, the team competition officially begins--"

"First, four girls, Qinghe, Ruoshui, Chu Chu, Yanping and Baguio in Lichunyuan."

As soon as the words fell, the five girls stood in the middle of the stage together. In terms of beauty, they were really thin and fat, each with their own advantages, which made Murong Xueyan overwhelmed. The music sounded, and four of the four girls surrounded one person in the center with the momentum of the stars arching the moon.

"That's the top Biyao girl in Lichunyuan." A familiar person said, "In last year's team competition, Lichunyuan won the first place."

The four girls around held two fans each, with their slender arms swinging slightly and dancing leisurely, while the giviao in the center, with hair like a flowing spring, picturesque eyebrows, slowly raising their heads, like flowers waiting to be released, and then smiled at the crowd with a high-headed posture, with a single foot, gently rotated several circles...

"It's Handan's swing..." Some children of the family who are proficient in dance skills began to discuss, "It is said that Zhao Feiyan in the Han Dynasty was good at dancing Handan's swing. He is light and can dance in the palm of his hand."

"Good." Murong Xueyan sincerely praised, and at the same time began to worry secretly that she didn't know whether the program she planned could have an advantage.

......

"The sixth, the four girls of Mingcuifang Jinse, Painting Fan, Shiyin and Qin Yun!"

Murong Xueyan was nervous and clenched her skirt with her fingers, waiting for the start of the performance. Before that, she had let them rehearse no more than ten times, all of which were very cooperative and full of tacit understanding. I hope this time...

Several little men carried a blank screen and several plates and brushes with ink paint. It seems that we have never seen such a unique way of performance.

The four people sit still and exchange a look at each other. Professor Murong Xueyan's "Waterland in a Dream" for many days poured out - the combination of Se, Zheng and Yangqin, and the quiet and ethereal performance of this song is vivid and gentle and touching. What's better is that when the three of them played, the painting fan got up and painted on the screen, Qingliu, small boat, distant mountain... What a romantic and elegant Jiangnan style.

"Good!" OK!"

The performance was over, and the cheers came one after another, and the response was unprecedentedly enthusiastic. When the song is finished, everyone still feels that the lingering sound is curling and can't go around. And the painting industry made by the painting fan has been completed. The beauty is like jade, the canoe is clear water, and the artistic conception and melody are so consistent.

The competition ended successfully, and Ming Cuifang won a complete victory. Huakui's candidate can't be determined between Dream and Ziyuan. According to Murong Xueyan's proposal, Yan Wushuang selected 30 "audience representatives" - there are children of a family, there are poor scholars, and there are peddlers and soldiers - to vote for "support votes". As a result, Ziyuan, who has been neglected for a long time, was elected as Huakui this year with an advantage of two more votes, making The National People's Congress was surprised; and the three ensembles of Mingcuifang and the performance of one person's painting were also selected as the first in the group and talked about it for everyone. Soon after, it became popular in the capital - this is a later story.

In the evening, when everything was over, Murong Xueyan returned to Mingcuifang with Yan Wushuang. Without saying a word, she gave Murong Xueyan 500 taels of gold.

These 500 taels of gold can really be regarded as Murong Xueyan's "first bucket of gold" in ancient times.

In the same afternoon, Bei Tanghao was accompanying Du Lanruo, enjoying the moon cakes, melons and fruits rewarded by the Empress Dowager. They talked and laughed at each other. It happened that Nangong Yi entered the palace, and the lonely Concubine Yun invited him. Because the emperor would not come over, the two actually entered the bedroom of Concubine Yun in the inner hall of the Annihilation Palace...
