Chapter 111 Xihe Sword Tool
Wei Jiansu also felt a little surprised, "Young mother, why did you put on the dance clothes in the middle of the night?"
Only then did Li Cangyu realize it was a dance costume, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances. This dress is indeed very beautiful, a typical style of the Tang Dynasty palace dress, colorful and dazzling, and a little sexy... This girl is very good at a young age!
"Father's face turned red." Wei Youniang's face was a little red. "My daughter had just learned a dance and had never been shown in front of others. Today, a distinguished guest came to the mansion, so her daughter wanted to... show her ugly moment!"
Li Cangyu couldn't help but be funny. According to the customs of the Tang Dynasty, it would be a shabby expression for any official family to entertain guests without singing and dancing to entertain them. It's like if someone's house comes to him now, it doesn't even mean wifi. But is this really good if your dignified lady shows up in person and performs a dance?
Sure enough, Wei Jiansu quickly pulled his daughter aside, "Young Mother, you are really messing around!"
"Father, why are your daughter making trouble?" Wei Youniang's little mouth was pouting and she acted coquettishly, "You asked her daughter to learn dancing since she was a child, but she has always danced for you alone over the years. She can't tell you any more, so she's so depressed!"
"Ah?" Wei Jiansu was stunned, "Do you think your father doesn't know how to appreciate it?"
"No!" Wei Youniang covered her mouth and laughed a few times, "It's good to listen to other people's opinions after all, right? Just like, doesn't my father often hope that someone can appreciate and evaluate your calligraphy and paintings?"
"..." Wei Jiansu blinked blankly and whispered: "But you can't jump to a young man in the middle of the night!"
"What does this matter? You are not alone, but widowed. Are you there, father?" Wei Youniang was serious, "Dancing and appreciating, just like a father wrote a word to ask his daughter to review it in the past. What a simple thing, that's all. Father, where have you thought?"
"Okay, okay, I can't tell you!" Wei Jiansu was a doting girl after all, and he was defeated before he could hold on. He returned to Li Cangyu, spread his hands and smiled bitterly, "Cangyu, look, this..."
"In the next poor minor official, how dare you let Ling Yuan perform a dance?" Li Cangyu couldn't agree at once, and quickly waved his hand to refuse, "No, this is really inappropriate!"
"It's okay!" Wei Youniang walked over, her eyes full of joy and expectation, and said, "Li Langjun, you have outstanding talents and outstanding talents, and your appreciation ability must be extraordinary. I have always hoped that a talent like you can have a talented man to evaluate my dance!"
Talented man?
Li Cangyu smiled without saying a word. In the past, many girls who called me this, but in the end... well, I have been washing my hands and quit the world for many years!
"I am ashamed of being a lie." Li Cangyu bowed his hand, "To be honest, for Wuya, I am indeed a layman. I don't know the tricks at all, and I can't talk about appreciation at all."
"I don't understand... it's good!" Wei Youniang didn't care at all, but still had a smile on her face. "Just treat it as an ordinary spectator, what is the first feeling after watching it? It seems more convincing!"
"..." Li Cangyu and Wei Jiansu looked at each other speechlessly. Well, it seems that neither of us can convince her!
"Then I'm going to be disrespectful!"
The three of them returned to the main hall. Li Cangyu and Wei saw Su split up and sat down, and also placed another tea, fruit and fruit to accompany them. The musicians at home also came.
Wei Youniang walked into the hall with a sword.
"Father, Li Langjun." Wei Youniang held the sword in both hands and performed a warrior ceremony. "The little woman will perform a dance called "Xihe Sword Artifact"!"
Li Cangyu was slightly surprised, "Miss Wei, is it Mrs. Gongsun's disciple?"
Wei Youniang smiled mysteriously and did not answer. She drew her sword and pulled it out of the sheath and put it on her shoulder. She pinched a sword technique with her left hand and made a gesture.
Music, start!
In an instant, Wei Youniang, the originally gentle and quiet lady, seemed to have become a different person. She jumped and danced quickly with the music, her waist was soft and light, but the sword in her hand was strong and vigorous, and the wide silk on her shoulders and gorgeous dancing clothes were flying lightly.
The sword light suddenly became fierce.
Beauty, as graceful as a stunning geese.
Li Cangyu was amazed. He never expected that a person's solo dance could produce such a shocking visual effect. Wei Youniang and the sword were combined with hardness and softness, just like a dazzling rain of flowers all over the sky, thunder and thunder were falling.
The song ends, the dance ends!
Wei Youniang was a little panting, holding the sword, bowed to Li Cangyu and saluted her military salute, "Please give me advice!"
Li Cangyu stood up and bowed and returned a bow.
At this moment, I'm afraid only Du Fu's poems can accurately describe it!
So he said, "Miss Wei's dance is as bright as Yi shooting nine sunsets, as sharp as the emperors flying dragons. It comes like thunder and frightens, and stops like clear lights condensed by the rivers and seas!"
"Ah?" The father and daughter exclaimed at the same time. Wei Youniang said anxiously: "What a great poem, wait for me to get paper and pen!"
"Don't." Li Cangyu hurriedly said, "This is a poem I once heard someone recite, a few of them. I am so lazy that I can't describe Miss Wei's wonderful dancing posture. Therefore, I dared to borrow other people's poems to express them."
"Who is Li Langjun, who wrote the poem? What about the whole poem?" Wei Youniang asked curiously and surprised. She probably felt that these poems were written too beautifully. It was also a great compliment to describe her dancing posture.
Li Cangyu laughed in his heart. This is Du Fu's poem twenty years later!... It seems that he has to use that universal reply again!
"This is what I heard inadvertently in the East City wine shop." Li Cangyu said seriously, "There are often some people who are drunk and scribble or sing wildly. I can't tell who it is. I can't remember the whole poem. I'm so sorry!"
"Then I have to write down these sentences, so I can appreciate them quietly!" Wei Youniang ran to the study with a smile. As soon as she ran a few steps, she hurried back, "Li Langjun, don't leave. Wait for me to come back, wait for me to come back!"
"……good."
Wei Jiansu walked to Li Cangyu with a smile, "Cangyu, the little girl has always been naughty, so you can laugh."
"It's okay." Li Cangyu smiled, "Ling Yuan is versatile, and I admire him very much."
Wei Jiansu tilted his head and looked at the direction of Wei Youniang leaving, suddenly approached a little, and whispered: "Cangyu, have you ever thought about including your household registration into the genealogy of Li's family in Zhaojun?"
Li Cangyu was slightly stunned. The Li family of Zhaojun is a descendant of Li Mu, a famous general of the Warring States Period. This is one of the most famous "Five surnames and Seven Hopes" in the Tang Dynasty, and the first-class high-ranking family in the world... What does the old man mean? I asked me to find someone from the Li family of Zhaojun to recognize relatives and then compile them into their genealogy to enhance my own family?
"No." Li Cangyu answered very simply.
Wei Jiansu's expression was a little awkward, "Why don't you think about it?... Nowadays, there are many people doing this, including famous ministers and generals."
Li Cangyu had long known what Wei Jiansu said. Many people who became high-ranking officials in the Tang Dynasty would find ways to improve their family background. It is most common to marry into high-ranking families, so that they can at least improve their descendants’ origins. Some people would directly change their counties and force their families into the high-ranking family genealogy. Others would make up randomly and would also compile a set of "ancestors" with noble origins.
Even the royal family Li family forcibly recognized "Laozi" as their ancestors. When Wu Zetian became emperor, she claimed that she was a descendant of Zhou Gong Ji Dan.
This is the universal values of the Tang Dynasty, and the prefectures of the county and the family are highly valued.
In the eyes of the Tang people, even if a poor family becomes the prime minister, he is still a poor family. Others will not recognize your "nobleness". On the contrary, even if a child from a high family is so poor that he is almost out of his pants, he also thinks that your bloodline is noble.
In the Tang people's opinion, fighting for money, power and father are all inferior, and only competing for ancestors is the king!
Li Cangyu couldn't help but laugh, "I won't do this."
"Oh..." Wei Jiansu shook his head and sighed, "That's a pity, a pity..."
At this moment, Wei Youniang came back excitedly with her maid holding the four treasures of the study. Seeing this situation, she couldn't help but be curious, "Father, Li Langjun, what are you talking about?"
"Mr. Wei, Miss Wei, it's not too late, so I'm leaving." Li Cangyu arched his hand, turned around and left.
"I'm sending it to you..."
"No need to send me off, please stay!"
"Hey!" Wei Youniang exclaimed, staring at Li Cangyu's back as she strode away, and frowned and whispered, "Wait a moment... Why do you have to leave so urgently!"
