The news that Luo Lingyu opened a cosmetics shop became a big news in Jianye recently because of her reputation as the "Goddess of Flowers". Many people went to see her because of her fame. Since the Flower Festival, Luo Lingyu tasted for the first time the fame brought to her by the "Goddess of Flowers". She was secretly happy that she had done the right thing to seize the Goddess of Flowers that day.
The young men rushed to Luo Lingyu that day to show their support. Not many people were left in the government office. When Lu Sanlang was sorting out the family files alone, he was invited by a young man who was traveling with him to see Miss Luo. Lu Sanlang's face darkened and he said in a low voice, "I'm busy with official duties. I won't go."
The other gentlemen understood the situation: "Miss Luo lives in the Lu family, and Sanlang Lu should see her often, so it's not strange for him. But a beauty is still a beauty, and we still have to go see her. Thank you Sanlang Lu for keeping watch for us."
Lu Yun: “…”
Sitting behind the desk, the room was mostly empty. Lu Sanlang's eyelashes drooped, his eyes were dark, his heart was getting dry, and sweat was dripping all over his body. He snorted coldly and opened the book. Lu Sanlang tried hard to forget someone - he would never watch someone flirting!
Although Luo Lingyu and Zhou Yangling opened this cosmetics shop together, they did not stand at the door to welcome customers like shopkeepers. The young men and women stood together on the roadside, and Luo Lingyu and Zhou Yangling also stood in the crowd. As soon as the door of the shop opened, the shopkeeper and waiter came out to welcome the guests, and the firecrackers at the door rang, the young men and women were full of interest to step in - they also wanted to see what interesting things Luo Lingyu's new cosmetics shop would sell.
Luo Lingyu, however, stopped the Wang girl behind her and said with a smile, "Don't worry, sister."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone heard the light and solemn sound of Buddhist music, and there was some noise behind the scenes. When the Buddhist music started, the noble men and women realized something, and they made way and retreated to both sides of the alley, leaving a space in the middle. When the middle was empty, the women holding musical instruments and dancing gracefully entered from the alley. They were all slender and graceful, with long skirts fluttering, some playing the flute, some playing the pipa, and some dancing to the sound of drums.
The music was melodious, and every note was praising the Buddha. The women were dressed in rich colors. When they closed their eyes, they played or danced. They wore long skirts and wide belts. In the vast crowd, they were oblivious to the surroundings, and their limbs were stretched out with the Buddha's nature. When they closed their eyes, it was like smoke lingering around, and the flying girls on the murals stepped on lotus steps.
"It's the Musical Goddess!"
All of them were well-informed nobles, and they immediately recognized that the dancers were the goddesses of music in Buddhism. Among the various heavens in Buddhism, there are Brahma, Mahadeva, and the goddess of music. At that time, Buddhism flourished in the south. The common people worshipped Buddha, and many nobles also had Buddha offerings in their homes. The goddess of music was not unfamiliar to them. When Luo Lingyu invited dancers to dress up as "goddesses of music" to liven up her powder shop, the crowd was already cheering and watching with great interest.
Zhou Yangling and Luo Lingyu laughed quietly: "Sister Luo is really amazing. The dance she chose is the Flying Buddha Dance, and everyone likes the Ji Le Tian."
Luo Lingyu pretended to be humble: "... Actually, Lian Qi Niang owed me a favor last time. She didn't dance at all, but I made her the top dancer in Cheng Yu Fang. This time when I approached her, she immediately agreed to help me dance. Fortunately, I was not so unlucky. This time, she agreed to dance for me, and nothing happened."
Sure enough, a man recognized her: "Isn't that Lian Qiniang? She is the most famous dancer in the music hall recently."
The dancers who dressed up as celestial girls and performed for the opening of the cosmetics shop were all from Chengyufang. The one in the middle with the lightest and most graceful figure was Lian Qinniang. In terms of dancing, Lian Qinniang's talent was much higher than Luo Lingyu's. The gentlemen went to the music shop to find her to dance. At first, they were disappointed that she was not as agile as the girl that night, but later they all recognized that Lian Qinniang's dance was good. Lian Qinniang also stood out from the dancers of Chengyufang with the help of Luo Lingyu.
Lian Qinniang was grateful for Luo Lingyu's kindness. When Luo Lingyu asked Lingyu if she could dance with her, Lian Qinniang agreed without asking for money.
While the dancers were acting like jiu le tian, Luo Lingyu was whispering with Zhou Yangling in the crowd. Luo Lingyu swept her eyes through the crowd and saw many familiar faces. She saw Qi Sanlang, who was looking at her with surprise and waving at her, and she also unexpectedly saw Lu Erlang and Lu Xian, as well as Hengyang Wang Liu Mu, who was staring at her with cold eyes beside Lu Xian. Liu Mu had a young appearance, and he looked at her across the street with an expressionless face, which made Lu Erlang's face darker and darker. Lu Erlang seemed to want to drag Liu Mu away, but Hengyang Wang held his hands and did not move. Luo Lingyu was surprised for a moment, and nodded to the young man in a friendly manner.
Liu Mu nodded in greeting.
Lu Erlang was so angry that he almost fainted. Amid the music and dance, Lu Xian kept saying, "The dance of the goddesses of music is nothing good. If you really like to watch people dance, I can recommend the top dancers. The level of this Cheng Yu Fang is just average..."
Lu Jilang: "Don't you still need to go to the palace? Hurry up and go."
But Liu Mu ignored him.
While Lu Xian was persuading Liu Mu, he glanced at the crowd and was both surprised and disappointed to see his third brother Lu Yun missing. Lu Yun was always absent at critical moments... Was it because he missed opportunities again and again that the Prince of Hengyang and his cousin Luo got closer and closer?
Luo Lingyu also didn't see someone among the crowd, her eyes suddenly darkened, and she bit her lip. She didn't believe that he wouldn't know about such a big fight.
The streets were filled with men and women, and there were also dancers and musicians, but he was not there, and she could not see her excellence... She felt cold all over, as if her efforts were in vain. No one appreciated the breath she held... Zhou Yangling looked at her sideways: "What's wrong?"
Luo Lingyu immediately put that person out of her mind, and looked at Zhou Lang with bright eyes, looking at him. She looked shy and affectionate: "Zhou Lang..."
The voice is as melodious as an oriole, pleasant to the ears and touching to the heart.
Zhou Yangling: “…”
She coughed, pretending not to notice the flirtatious glances the girl sent her: "How are you and Lu Sanlang? Are you still quarreling?"
