Chapter 24 Dance
The carriage wobbled along the way, bumped and broken a lot, huh huh huh.
Yu Zhi's skeleton was soft, his temple hair was disheveled, and he lay softly and bonelessly in Miss Fourth's arms, so tired that he passed out regardless of the occasion.
In front of the gate of Wei's house, Menzi saw with his own eyes the fourth young lady getting out of the carriage with her concubine in her arms. The snow-white cloak tightly wrapped her beauty in the world.
Miss Si is not what it used to be, with the support of the Yan family and the empress, all the old men in the mansion have to avoid her sharp edge, and they are pure when they are out of sight.
Yu Zhi wrapped his arms around Miss Fourth's neck, sleeping soundly like a cat, and his wet, red face was buried in Wei Pingxi's neck, his breath was warm and very pitiful.
All the way through the nine-curved corridor, Miss Fourth and Mr. Wei met each other on a narrow road.
Going back three years, Wei Pingxi and him can still toast and drink together.
Sighing that people's hearts are changeable, she is a lonely soul from a previous life, she thinks she knows who is good and who is bad in this house, and the elder brother has a good face, but in fact he is the most untrustworthy.
She didn't even yell "Big Brother" when she saw her, and Mr. Wei was dissatisfied. He saw the new concubine of Jingzhe Courtyard with sharp eyes. He didn't wear a pair of jade-footed boots and only wore snow socks.
Based on his understanding of Fourth Sister, under the cloak, maybe this aunt is naked.
"Brother respects himself."
"You want me to respect myself?" Young Master Wei sneered, "My behavior is dissolute and unscrupulous, and if it spreads, it will disgrace my Wei family!"
Wei Pingxi took the time to hide Yu Zhi's little feet and little white socks, with a three-pointed smile on his face: "Brother, you should read more books, and you can't swear. You repeat the same rhetoric over and over again. You are not tired of saying it, but my sister is tired of hearing it." gone."
Smiling slightly, she suddenly changed her face: "My woman, I can play however I want, it's none of your business! Get out!"
Young Master Wei was so angry that his hands shook: "You...you..."
A cold and frightening breath came, forcing him to take two steps back. Wei Pingxi walked past him humming a familiar nursery rhyme from Lingnan Mansion: "Brother, if you dare to look at my woman again, I will dig out your tricks!" .”
In his sleep, Yu Zhi was disturbed by this breath, curled up slightly, and the Fourth Miss immediately smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, I didn't say it for you."
Swallowing his anger and returning to Xingning Courtyard, and entering the door, the good self-cultivation shown by Mr. Wei was ruined, his face was distorted, and his eyes were about to split: "Wei, Ping, Xi! How dare you?!"
"Why don't I dare?"
In the Shocking Insects Courtyard, Wei Pingxi put down the exhausted beauty: "Let's just let them think that I'm an incurable lunatic, don't bother me, if you do, you still want to clap your hands and walk away, that's not what Meng does."
"That's the eldest son..."
"The one who is angry is the eldest son."
She spread her hands, and jadeite respectfully presented the water-soaked towel.
"Go down, don't forget to receive the punishment."
Jade's little face turned into a bitter gourd: "Haven't you forgotten?"
"Is my memory that bad? Ten rods, agate, you do it."
Agate covered her mouth and smiled: "Yes, Miss."
The two sisters retreated quietly, Wei Pingxi regained his composure, untied the belt of the cloak, revealing the tender and delicate body inside, she chuckled lightly: "You slept soundly, and you have to ask me to wait on you when you're done."
She parted the beauty's slender legs, and wiped off the remaining dew with the scarf.
It was late at night when Yu Zhi woke up.
Under the candlelight, Wei Pingxi played with the jade seal about two inches long without raising his head: "Are you full of sleep? There are porridge and side dishes on the table, eat by yourself."
"Xi Xi?"
"Call again?"
Yu Zhi was shy and pretended to be deaf and dumb.
The brocade was lifted and soon she heard an exclamation, and hurried back to the small couch, her skin was thin and tender.
Wei Pingxi took a carving knife to carve the seal: "Why are you ashamed? I haven't seen you? I wiped your body for you while you were asleep. How do you feel?"
A gust of heat rushed straight to his face, no wonder he woke up refreshed all over, Yu Zhi was soft and soft like water.
"Okay, you can eat, I won't sleep with you tonight, you can sleep peacefully."
"Are you going?"
"Reluctant?"
Yu Zhi opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.The quilt slipped from her chest, and she stood up barefoot.
Looking at the beauty under the lamp, the beauty is as beautiful as jade and snow, Wei Pingxi saw her standing there a little awkwardly, and suddenly changed his mind: "Can you dance?"
"Yes." Yu Zhi said with a hot face, "I will only be a 'Dream Lover' who will be a married woman in Lingnan Prefecture."
"Mengqinglang, it's okay, I don't know how to do it anyway, I think this dance is enchanting, I didn't learn it life and death."
Miss Si smiled and said, "Do you want to show me the dance? Show me the dance, and I will stay here tonight and won't leave."
The words of gold, stone and silver ingots in the daytime finally entered her heart, Yu Zhi was worried that she would not give up early, but also wanted to work hard to tie her heart, nodded: "I will dance for you, don't go."
Wei Pingxi's eyes gradually darkened: "Dancing like this without wearing dance clothes?"
"..."
Yu Zhi bit her lip: "If you don't wear dance clothes, you must ask me to eat?"
"use!"
Wei Pingxi turned and went out: "Go get my piano, and let the back kitchen prepare some melon and fruit snacks."
She turned her head: "Zhizhi, what else do you want to eat?"
Yu Zhi hid behind the screen and shook his head.
"That's it, let's get ready."
"Yes, ma'am."
The lanterns in Jingzheyuan are hung high, and the water in the pond reflects the moonlight. It is cool in the autumn night, and the evening wind blows, and the dead leaves are whirling, which is very interesting.
The japonica rice porridge in the mouth was warm and fragrant. Yu Zhi sat on a round stool and ate with a porcelain spoon. Wei Pingxi walked around the screen and looked at her with a smile: "Actually, you look better without clothes on."
"..."
If she was half-ugly, saying this would be disgusting.
However, the person who said this was a fairy who couldn't be found anywhere in the world, just looking at this face, Yu Zhi was very reluctant to put bad words on her head.
Her legs are close together, fortunately the inner room is far less cool than the autumn outside, it is warm, her long hair is like a brocade draped in the bare jade back, the beauty eats a small amount, and the evening meal is very particular about the honorable family, six full enough.
"Tired?"
"Not tired."
Wei Pingxi took her empty bowl: "Before I was not tired, I was crying to death. Those who didn't know would think what happened to me?"
Once Yu Zhi remembered the experience in the carriage, her heart beat faster, and she swallowed: "I love to cry."
"Is it sour? Can you still dance?"
Yu Zhi moved his waist and legs, blushing: "It's still okay."
"Miss, I have brought what you asked for."
Without the master's order, Manao dared not take a step forward, and waited outside the door.
After taking the qin and a few plates of melon and fruit snacks, the door behind him was closed, Wei Pingxi held the qin on his lap, and began to pluck the strings to try a few timbres.
She smiled and said: "It's been a long time since I played, I don't know if I'm unfamiliar with it, you just eat, dance again later. Come give me a shoulder squeeze."
Yu Zhi stepped behind her and worked hard.
"There are not many good people in the mansion. The old man will still have sex with prostitutes when he is old. You are my man, so forgive him for not daring to touch the dirty place in the actor's pavilion, but you must be vigilant in everything. When you see him later avoid walking."
"Yes."
"My father, Yiyanghou, loved his mother wholeheartedly, and lived like a dog in front of her.
"But he is Lord Marquis after all. People in the world treat women harshly, and they come up with all sorts of tricks. Being jealous is a big taboo, so my mother will add people to his backyard when she has nothing to do besides worshiping Buddha.
"I am fourth, and I have three older sisters, all of whom are married.
"Down there, there are countless younger sisters, concubines have no status in the mansion, and rarely show up in front of people, they are all tools for marriage.
"When you see my concubine sisters in the future, you can treat them a little bit more gently. The subordinates will flatter you, and your attitude will be mine. If you treat them well, they will have a better life."
"Why should I treat them better?" Yu Zhi didn't understand.
"Because they are afraid of me and avoid me like a tiger."
She didn't care, and raised her eyebrows: "Whatever they think, I'll live mine."
The dignified daughter of the Hou's Mansion, who hates ghosts and hates her own family, is regarded as a scourge.
Yu Zhi didn't know how she laughed, but she really didn't care.
"As for my three elder brothers, Wei Da, don't look at others as dogs, he is the one with the most eyes, he is the eldest son of the Hou family, and he has a lot of tricks.
"He may not openly fight with you, but he hates me, hates me for ruining the family tradition, hates me for taking away all the love from my mother, and even more hates me for getting what he seeks without effort.
"He won't harm you, his wife and concubine will definitely get angry at you."
"I'm not afraid." Yu Zhi said seriously.
"Yeah, what are you afraid of when I'm here? What I want to say is that they are yin and yang to you, so you have to give me yin and yang to go back! Don't lose my people."
"what?"
"Ah what? You can't swear, and you can't be a hermaphrodite?"
"What kind of hermaphrodite, sounds ugly." Yu Zhi poked her shoulder with his little finger.
Wei Pingxi couldn't keep his serious face from being poked by her: "Do I hurt you?"
Yu Zhi's heart beat like a deer: "Huh?"
"I love you so much, do you want to hide it from outsiders?
"Brother keeps a lot of outhouses in private, and in the past half a year, he only went to his main wife's room twice to quarrel. When his main wife first came in, he satirized me, saying that I have a mother who loves me but whether a father loves me. If necessary, you can help me avenge my revenge." return."
"it is good!"
She whispered: "Why did you know all about your eldest brother entering the main wife's room?"
"This." Wei Pingxi squinted his eyes and smiled: "When you didn't enter the Shocking Insects Courtyard, I would 'check' around the house a few times if you couldn't sleep at night."
"Are you spying on people?"
Yu Zhi was startled.
"Don't put it so harshly, it's called knowing yourself and knowing your enemy, and winning a hundred battles."
Fourth Miss Wei put down the piano, took her hand and asked her to sit on her lap.
Yu Zhi twitched a little, but unexpectedly his waist was softened a few times, and shyly slender legs wrapped around Miss Fourth's waist.
"My elder brother is not good at people or things, which makes my sister-in-law a 'widow' every night. I want to send her a man."
These words were full of deep meaning, Yu Zhitou listened to the secrets of Xungui's family, he was stunned, his face was ashamed: "You, you are so shameless!"
"I don't care to look at her."
Fourth Miss laughed: "A fingernail looks better without you."
"..."
Yu Zhi's breathing was unsteady, and he blushed and pretended to be dead.
"As for my second elder brother, he's a bastard. If you don't know how to do it, you can't do it. If you want me to say that the third son of the Wei family is worthless, he was born without knowing what to do, but he has a good reputation outside. He is ten thousand times better than me."
Wei Pingxi rolled his eyes lightly: "By the way, the second brother always regards the elder brother as the leader, it's all fake, the second brother and the eldest sister-in-law have an affair, unfortunately, I also ran into it, how can it be so fierce?
"Not only did I bump into them, but I also gave them a big gift. Unfortunately, my eldest brother was not there during that time, otherwise, it would have been exciting to watch."
"So messy? Your house..."
"Don't worry about yours, Miss Fourth, I'm a decent person, and I can't stand against them!"
"is it?"
A decent person prefers his concubine not to wear clothes in the house, Yu Zhi hesitated to speak, clutching her skirt and pricking up his ears: "Then where is your third brother?"
"My third brother is okay, but his temper is a bit extreme, and his face is bigger than the sky. Whoever loses his face is worse than taking his life."
"Your third brother won't be with your second sister-in-law..."
Wei Pingxi laughed: "What are you thinking? The third brother is romantic, plays with flowers, and never touches girls from good families. I doubt that he will be able to marry a wife."
"This is all the secrets of the Wei family. You tell me this, what do you want from me?"
"I'm telling you this because I want you to be smart and use your strength to save effort. The second sister-in-law and the eldest sister-in-law are not compatible, and every time they meet, they have to fight openly and covertly to break the stage. As for you, you just watch the show.
"If you have spare energy, please help me to make the water in this mansion even more muddy. The dog in the second room bites the dog and the hair on his mouth is full, so that life in Jingzheyuan can be happy."
"okay."
With her obedient, soft and weak appearance, Wei Pingxi didn't dare to imagine her facing the two sister-in-laws.
"There is also my mother, who honors her on behalf of me on weekdays. When I am not in the mansion, she is your backer."
"You want to go?" Yu Zhi looked up in shock.
"Don't go." She smiled: "Come and dance."
……
"Mengqinglang" is a dance that women and empresses of the Yan Dynasty must learn. It is known for its tenderness and tactfulness.
Women and Ji can talk about marriage, so the dance contains the beautiful expectations of girls for their lovers.
Different people dance the same dance, and the beauty of the dance is different.
Some people dance "Dream Lover" in a gentle and subtle way to show dignified and virtuous.
Some people dance "Dream Lover" with enthusiasm and boldness to show that they are hot-tempered and want to be a real hero who can subdue themselves.
The name of this dance is 'Meng Qing Lang', as the name suggests, it is the sweet dream of a young girl Huai Chun, and it is also a pious prayer to God.
Jumping to the person you like has the meaning of showing love.
When Yu Zhi was 15 years old, A Niang demonstrated it to her once, only once, and she remembered it clearly.
But after all, she hasn't danced for many years, and her movements are inevitably unfamiliar. She is very afraid of making a fool of herself, and she is also extremely shy.
Wei Pingxi rested his chin on one hand and became more interested: "Jump, I'll play the piano for you."
The strings are plucked, and the rhythm is swayed.
The lingering melancholy sound of the harp lingering in the sky.
In Liulan Courtyard, Mrs. Wei put on her clothes and stood by the window, quietly listening to the song "Dancing Beauty".
In the middle of the song, she smiled elegantly: "It seems that Pingxi really dotes on this concubine, and he still has such interest at night."
Wei Hou Ye's coat was wide open, revealing his strong chest. He hated the sound of the zither, but he didn't dare to show his disgust, because his daughter was his wife's darling.
The good thing was disturbed, he begged: "Don't do it?"
"Don't do it, annoying."
Mrs. Wei looked affectionately at the life-size scroll hanging on the wall facing the bed.
On the scroll is a person.
a man.
A man dressed in a Confucian uniform, the most gorgeous man in the world.
"lady……"
"Kneel down, don't bother me."
Yiyanghou looked gloomy, his handsome face full of misery.
He gathered his clothes and got out of bed, kneeling on the thick wool blanket, staring at the back of the person in front of him.
The back view, all she left him was the back view.
……
"Bouncing bouncing! There is no peace all day long!"
Xingning Courtyard, the residence of Prince Wei and Mrs. Wei Shao.
That night the eldest son rested in the study and did not enter the young lady's room.
The feeling of being alone in an empty room is uncomfortable, and the sound of the piano from outside seems to be disturbing.
With a resentful expression on her face, the young woman scolded Wei Pingxi for not being a human being under the quilt. What a bad tune she played in the middle of the night!
……
"It's not a bad tune."
The second son of Wei poured himself a drink, and lay in his arms a concubine who was full of spring and passion: "This is a song my mother taught my fourth sister. I used to listen to my mother playing it, but now I listen to my fourth sister playing it. Do you know who made this song?" ?”
The woman is very enchanting, with plump breasts, fat hips, and a not-so-good-looking face. It's just that the second son is just like her, and she has to hurt every now and then.
"Guess what?"
"Could it be some amazingly talented woman? Lingnan Prefecture has never heard such a lingering song."
"Talented girl?" Wei Er smiled and bent over, slapped her on the face unceremoniously: "You are so courageous, I'm tired of working!"
……
The sound of the piano stopped abruptly.
Yu Zhi collapsed in Miss Fourth's arms from exhaustion.
Drenched with sweat, the hair on the temples is slightly damp.
"Good dance." Wei Ping Ximan smiled: "Good figure."
"Miss Four..."
"Go and wash." She let go of the beauty.
Yu Zhi held his breath, and kissed her on the cheek, quite charming.
The more you kiss, the more you earn, the fourth young lady is so special in the world, if she leaves her, Yu Zhi will probably never find someone who is close to her eyes.
She went limply to the cubicle bathroom.
Wei Pingxi looked at her Miaoman's back until she was nowhere to be seen, she flicked her hand casually, and the sound of the piano lingered: "Sleep ass! Miss Ben doesn't sleep, let me see who dares to sleep!"
It is against harmony for an elegant and wonderful fairy to utter dirty words, but there is a delicate balance on Miss Fourth.
She is perverted, and others will be amazed by her just by looking at her. If they get along with each other for a long time, no one will covet such a beauty.
All are afraid.
The fourth young lady escaped to sleep with the soft and gentle beauty in her arms, and the whole Hou Mansion was truly quiet.
……
In Liulanyuan, Marquis Yiyang knelt on the ground until his legs and feet ached.
Madam Wei put away the scroll full of love, turned around, her gentle brows suddenly turned cold: "Get out!"
It's not the first time Wei Hanqing has experienced her cruelty and fickleness, when she rolled on the spot, it really rolled out of the inner room like a ball.
"Beautiful dancer, beautiful dancer, dancing with a beautiful lady will steal the beauty of the world..." Mrs. Wei muttered to herself, "It's a pity that the beautiful lady is not by my side, and my concubine is in the kennel looking at herself in pity. It's hard."
……
"Master Hou!"
He personally helped Lord Hou get up.
Marquis Yiyang flicked his sleeves and was able to bend and stretch.
Looking back at the silent Liulan Courtyard, he felt hurt: "Let's go."
……
In the dead of night, the mysterious Wei family showed the tip of the iceberg in the night, and indeed it answered Miss Wei Si's sentence: the family flies and the dogs run.
Yu Zhi couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, logically speaking, she should be tired.
She moved closer to Wei Pingxi, as if those invisible dangers would not affect her, but she forgot that Fourth Miss herself is synonymous with danger.
Wei Pingxi slept peacefully, not knowing what the beauty in his arms was thinking.
In the colossal Wei family, any piece of truth is a shocking secret of the wealthy family.
Miss Si told her these things, isn't she afraid that the scandal will spread to the outside world?
She was worried that she would be kicked away by Miss Fourth in less than half a year, and also worried that she would never be able to live without this Shocking Insects Courtyard for the rest of her life.
It is true that rich clothes and good food are enviable, but it is more difficult to seek peace and happiness.
She secretly kissed Miss Fourth's eyebrows, trying to tell her to open her eyes and talk, but she didn't expect her 'weak spot' to be caught.
Wei Pingxi was sleepy, and her dream was interrupted, she suppressed her anger: "Why are you so dishonest?"
"Hmm..." Yu Zhi hummed softly in her ear, "Are you talking to me?"
"Isn't that enough?"
The fourth lady yawned lazily, without saying hello and buried herself in the land of lush branches: "Let you have a good night's sleep, you don't know how to cherish it."
"Miss Fourth said to save it."
"Do you believe what I say?" Wei Pingxi was half-awake and half-awake with a temper: "It's a big deal to replace it if it's worn out."
Yu Zhi also said that she had something wrong with her, and she insisted on finding trouble with her if she didn't sleep late at night. She sniffed and deliberately pushed the person away, in exchange for a sneer: "Try pushing one more time?"
She didn't get enough sleep, and her temper was worse than that of a street dog, who would bite whoever she caught.
Caught off guard by being bitten by her, Yu Zhi was in pain so much that tears rolled out, crying weakly in pain.
After shouting a few times, Wei Pingxi's anger probably dissipated, and he hugged her tightly again: "Be obedient and go to sleep."
Yu Zhi cried and fell into a dream.
Relying on his dreaming, he fell into a deep sleep, and even kicked Miss Fourth twice in audacity.
Being kicked awake again, Wei Pingxi took a deep breath, resisted the urge to kick back and closed his eyes.
"My lady doesn't know as well as you do."
She pressed Yu Zhi's restless calf and slept until dawn.
