Xiao Jinglin didn't quite understand what Ren Yaoqi said, but she still grasped the key point: "Are you saying that you deliberately want to delay your playing time?"
Ren Yaoqi smiled and grabbed Xiao Jinglin's hand, pulling her out, saying, "I need to change my clothes quickly, otherwise we really won't have time. Let's talk while we walk."
"Go this way, there is a small courtyard over here. When you return to Lanyue Pavilion to change clothes, it will be noon by then. Where are your clothes? Ask your maid to tell Hongying to get them. She is fast." Xiao Jinglin grabbed Ren Yaoqi with his backhand and pulled her in another direction.
Pingguo hurriedly handed the box that Ren Yaoqi had put his clothes in to Hongying. When Hongying was about to leave, Ren Yaoqi stopped her and asked Xiao Jinglin, "Where is the Snow Sword you gave me? Did you bring it with you?"
Xiao Jinglin originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of living together for two or three days to teach Ren Yaoqi how to practice sword, so she actually brought the Snow Sword with her.
"I asked Hongying to keep it. What do you want the sword for?"
Ren Yaoqi hurriedly said to Hongying, "Then you can bring the Snow Sword along with you later."
Hongying looked at Xiao Jinglin, Xiao Jinglin nodded, and Hongying went immediately.
Hongying is indeed a martial artist, her speed is much faster than that of ordinary people.
Ren Yaoqi then said to Xiao Jinglin, who looked puzzled, "You come forward and dance with the sword later."
Xiao Jinglin was stunned when she heard this, then hesitated a bit. "But my mother doesn't like me to engage in violence. And you've seen it too, those ladies from famous families can wear jewelry weighing over ten or twenty kilograms without batting an eyelid. If I were to brandish a sword or a gun in front of them, they would faint immediately."
Ren Yaoqi found Xiao Jinglin's description very funny, but she said seriously: "Who said we are going to wield swords and guns! We are going to perform sword dance! It's sword dance, not swordsmanship!" There are also sword dances in court performances, which are very popular in Kyoto.
Xiao Jinglin looked conflicted: "I can't..."
As they spoke, they had already reached the small courtyard Xiao Jinglin had mentioned. This small courtyard was nestled deep within the peach forest and consisted of only four rooms. It looked quite refined, like a place for brewing wine and sipping tea. There were few people around, and the environment was quite quiet.
Ren Yaoqi paused, looked at Xiao Jinglin and smiled, "Who said you can't? The last time you said you would teach me sword dancing, you demonstrated the same set of sword techniques. Today we will dance that set."
Xiao Jinglin struggled desperately: "This won't work..."
Ren Yaoqi looked at her patiently and said, "Why not?"
Xiao Jinglin's brows were knotted. "If my master knew about this, he would say I was bringing disgrace to the family..."
Ren Yaoqi asked with a smile, "Where is your master?"
Xiao Jinglin said subconsciously: "Jiajing Pass..."
Ren Yaoqi's smile deepened, but he shook his head with some regret, "So far? What a pity... Then let him not know."
Xiao Jinglin: "..."
Seeing Xiao Jinglin was silent, Ren Yaoqi held Xiao Jinglin's hand and said, "You are not allowed to deal with it carelessly. Because I will play the piano on the side."
Xiao Jinglin was stunned: "You want to come with me?"
Ren Yaoqi blinked: "This is something I have been looking forward to for a long time, a good novel:."
Xiao Jinglin frowned: "It's better not to do that. If I get embarrassed, you will suffer as well."
Ren Yaoqi's smile was filled with confidence and conviction. "In terms of swordsmanship, no one here can beat you. In terms of piano playing, I'm also confident that few here can beat me. I don't believe we'll embarrass ourselves."
