Lu Erlang's expression changed from one to another: It was different from the dream again? His dream... how come some parts of it corresponded to reality, but once it was reflected in reality, it became so strange?
Why is it that his cousin Luo not only has little to do with the Prince of Hengyang, but also has handsome men around her every day? This, this, could it be that... Lu Erlang feels that he needs the confirmation of "Flower God's Selection" to prove that his dream is completely wrong. For a moment, Lu Erlang also fell silent, and the atmosphere among the few people became awkward. At this time, a voice joined in attentively: "Lu Erlang, you are here."
Lu Xian turned around and saw Qi Sanlang and Qi An walking towards him quickly. The young man was wearing a jade crown, a sash, and a silk gown. He walked quickly with surprise on his face. Lu Erlang was stunned for a while, because he used to study and paint all day, and he was not very familiar with Qi Sanlang. His dream made him change himself and try to participate in worldly affairs, but he was sure that he was still not familiar with Qi Sanlang. Why was Qi Sanlang so enthusiastic towards him?
Qi Saburo came over and looked around eagerly: "Lu Erlang, isn't Sister Luo here? She has a competition today, don't you want to go see where she is?"
Lu Jilang: “…”
Prince Hengyang sneered and was about to leave, saying, "Look, Lu Erlang, there are many people who like your cousin. I will..."
"Young Master!" His sleeve was grabbed by Lu Xian.
Lu Xian asked eagerly: "What did you promise me? You promised me that you would come to watch my cousin compete!"
Qi Sanlang was confused and had no idea what they were talking about; Prince Hengyang was embarrassed by Lu Erlang, and glared at him sinisterly, gritted his teeth and said "I know"; Prince Chen calmly made way, and saw Zhou Lang's playful expression, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that this scene was a bit embarrassing. Prince Hengyang and Lu Erlang were arguing, and Qi Sanlang was rushing towards Luo Lingyu again... His Highness Prince Chen pursed his lips into a line and said lightly: "Let's go."
Zhou Yangling looked at him deeply, then gave him a bow and said, "Sir, I'll take my leave. We'll see you later."
She turned and left, her steps hurried, but looking at her back, she looked elegant and agile. This young man was the one who really turned around and left without being stopped. Chen Wang Liu Chu always felt strange in his heart. He stared at Zhou Yangling's back and always felt that he had overlooked something. This young man did not explain or refute... Qi Sanlang: "What are you looking at, sir?"
Liu Chu came back to his senses: "No. I always feel that I will encounter it again."
The gang didn't take the young man's episode too seriously. They agreed to go find Luo Lingyu and help her. When they arrived, they found out that Luo Lingyu had postponed her work to the evening. When they wanted to ask Luo Lingyu again, Luo's daughter was busy and had no time to see the guests. They had to give up in disappointment and go about their own business. During this time, the King of Hengyang wanted to leave again, but it was only because of Lu Erlang's persistence that he was able to delay the time.
Luo Lingyu spent the whole day adjusting her mentality. If Lian Qi Niang couldn't get off the bed at night, she had to prepare herself to go into battle. She wasn't good at dancing, so she had to borrow other things to help her. In the afternoon, Zhou Yangling brought servants to bring in the chimes. When Luo Lingyu saw them, she was quite surprised. There were several sets of chimes, and each set of bronze bells had different sizes and sound qualities. When Zhou Yangling took the small wooden hammer and knocked it down, she could only hear a deep and majestic sound.
Luo Lingyu murmured, "In ancient times, chime bells were used to play music in the palace, and were never used by the people. Since our dynasty, court music has long been out of favor, and nowadays, both in the palace and among the people, popular music, mainly Qingshang music, is popular. I'm afraid that chime bells are no longer used much in the palace... Zhou Lang, you can actually restore the ancient chime bells and help me?"
Zhou Yangling smiled modestly and said, "I didn't restore it. My father is a famous scholar today. He likes to study these old things and wants to restore it."
Luo Lingyu blinked and looked at her: Zhou Lang's father had the leisure and elegance to restore the ancient chimes, he must be from a great family...
Zhou Yangling sat behind the bells, holding a gavel, and said, "It's only a few hours until evening. I want to get familiar with the chimes so that I can help my sister. Sister Luo, please ask your musicians to come in. I want to play music with them."
Today, Qingshang music is popular, while chime music is solemn and dignified. Zhou Lang wants to combine the two... Luo Lingyu's beautiful eyes are bright, and she has already thought about how they will surprise the world in the evening if they succeed.
Luo Lingyu closed the door, quietly left, and patted her chest: "Fortunately Zhou Lang is a man and did not compete with me for the title of 'Flower God'. Otherwise, I might really lose to Zhou Lang..." It was so scary. With such a loud sound of the chimes, no matter what she wanted to compete, she would be suppressed. Fortunately, Zhou Lang helped her.
Zhou Lang is so talented.
I want to marry Zhou Lang even more...
Luo Lingyu patted her face to wipe away her admiration and sat outside the porch. Zhou Yangling gave her a reassurance, which made her really calm down and think carefully about what to do for the dance that night.
At sunset, the golden light trailed its long tail down to the horizon, the sky gradually darkened, and red lanterns were lit up in all parts of Hualin Garden. The lights were like snakes and dragons, and the garden was illuminated as bright as day. At this time, there were no fewer people, and there were even more men and women playing in the garden. There were many people, and the sound of flutes and drums was noisy, just like the road was full of brilliant lights, as if a grand festival night banquet was flowing like water.
The maids went back and forth in the garden, bringing wine, tea, cakes and pastries to the gentlemen and ladies. There were tables below each competition, with dozens of tables. The gentlemen and ladies could sit down and watch the competition while eating dinner. This was because although the competition today was singing and dancing, it had never been that a lady from a noble family played music herself. The songs and dances that the lady from a noble family taught herself were performed in front of them, and the ladies sat below and watched the reactions of the people around them.
The elegance of festivals, the manners of aristocratic families, and the crowds of people discussing among themselves——
"Whose turn is next?"
"It's Madam Luo. She seems to have invited a dancer named Qi Niang from Cheng Yu Fang. I've been to Cheng Yu Fang, but I've never heard of such an outstanding dancer in Cheng Yu Fang."
"Let's see what Madam Luo is going to do... Hey, has anyone seen Madam Luo? It seems like she hasn't appeared in a day."
Chen Xiu, who had seen Luo Lingyu flirting with a young man in the morning, sat in front of the table in a very dignified manner, sipping tea elegantly and listening to the young men discussing "Mrs. Luo". Chen Xiu snorted in her heart and suddenly heard a little noise around her. When she looked up, she saw Lu Sanlang walking slowly among several old men, looking elegant and graceful in the bright moonlight.
