Chapter 199 The woman with the most comprehensive charm
Jinghong Dance is a court dance that began in the Tang Dynasty. It was the famous dance of Mei Fei, the favorite concubine of Xuanzong in the early Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty once praised Concubine Mei in front of all the kings for "playing the white jade flute and composing the "Jinghong Dance", which is a glorious sight."
Because of the popularity of a certain TV series, the ancient dance Jinghong Dance became widely known.
Jia Yun naturally knew about Jinghong Wu. In her previous life, she even read several versions online.
It's just that he didn't expect that he would travel to the world of Red Mansions, and he didn't expect that after traveling for several years, he would suddenly see the Jinghong Dance in the world of Red Mansions. The dancer was Li Feixue, a beautiful woman who looked like a fairy, and she was
I danced specially for him alone.
In fact, there is indeed a Jinghong Dance in this world of Red Mansions, but it rarely appears. Even if it does appear, it is usually in a place of sensuality and pleasure, and Jia Yun rarely participates in such occasions.
Right now, along with a piece of music played by the maid Yaqin on the guqin, Li Feixue danced gracefully in front of Jia Yun on the second floor of Yuxue Pavilion...
Jia Yun couldn't help but think of a poem and a passage.
One poem is "Changsha Nine Days Climbing the East Tower to Watch the Dance" by Tang Dynasty poet Li Qunyu:
There is a beautiful woman in the southern country, dancing with a light green waist.
Hua Yan Jiuqiu twilight, flying clothes blowing through the clouds and rain.
As graceful as orchids and emerald greens, graceful as a floating dragon.
The more beautiful the river is, the more beautiful Wu Ji stops.
The slow state cannot be exhausted, and the complicated postures are bound to the end.
The low lotus breaks through the waves, and the messy snow lingers in the wind.
When the ear falls, the veil flows, and the train is repaired in an attempt to trace the sky.
I'm worried that I can't catch it, so I fly away to catch it.
This passage is from "Ode to the Goddess of Luo" written by Cao Zhi during the Three Kingdoms period:
Its shape is as graceful as a frightened grandson, graceful as a swimming dragon. The autumn chrysanthemums are shining brightly, and the spring pines are gorgeous. They seem to be like the moon covered by light clouds, and fluttering like the snow blown by the flowing wind. Looking at it from a distance, it is as bright as the rising sun.
Morning glow; if you look closely at it, it is as bright as a flower growing out of Lubo.
This poem and this paragraph are very exaggerated praises, but now Jia Yun feels that it is not too much to apply such an exaggerated praise poem and this paragraph to Li Feixue who is dancing the Jinghong Dance in front of her.
Li Feixue's appearance is really great. She has a hairpin in her black hair, eyebrows as light as smoke, and skin as fat as fat. Coupled with a light and elegant white dress, she is really very lethal to men.
Li Feixue's Jinghong Dance was also really good.
Jia Yun felt that the Jinghong Dance in the few videos he watched online in his previous life were weaker than the Jinghong Dance performed by Li Feixue in front of him.
For one thing, the appearance is incomparable.
Secondly, dancing cannot compare.
Thirdly, when watching videos on the Internet, how can you see Li Feixue dancing happily for you with your own eyes?
Not only Li Feixue, but also Yaqin, the eldest maid, surprised Jia Yun this time.
For one thing, Yaqin is also a beauty, her appearance is comparable to Qingwen and Xiangling.
Secondly, Yaqin also plays the guqin very well.
Thirdly, it is rare that a maid is not only a beauty, but also plays the guqin well.
Jia Yun has some knowledge about the guqin. As far as he knows, the sounds produced by the guqin can be divided into three types, namely overtones, scattered sounds, and fretted sounds.
Under the playing of Yaqin's ten slender jade fingers, the overtones that pop up are like the sounds of nature, with a cold and celestial feeling. The scattered notes that pop up are as calm and vast as the earth, and the fret notes are rich and chanting.
The lingering rhyme of the 猱 is subtle and long, just like human words and human thoughts.
The overtones are like heaven, the scattered sounds are like earth, and the notes are like people. These are the three sounds of heaven, earth and people.
Li Feixue's Jinghong dance paired with the sound of Yaqin is a perfect match, complementing each other.
At this moment, Jia Yun had to admit that she felt beautiful and happy. In addition to the enjoyment of beauty, this happiness also had a sense of accomplishment as a man.
With such a pair of masters and servants performing dances and musical instruments for themselves, how could Jia Yun not feel a sense of accomplishment as a man?
And if he didn't have his current noble status, how could he enjoy such treatment?
However, Jia Yun did not completely fall into sensibility because of this. In addition to sensibility appreciation, he also had some rationality.
And these rationalities told him that things were not simple, and Li Feixue really had plans for him!
Although Li Feixue is the daughter of a merchant, her family background is not simple. Her father is a wealthy Yangzhou salt merchant, and Li Feixue is a boudoir girl like Xue Baochai, not to mention she is as beautiful as a fairy.
It is not difficult to imagine that Li Feixue like this would seldom or even rarely perform dances for men outside.
Today, Li Feixue met Jia Yun for the first time, and she took the initiative to invite her. She carefully prepared and presented Jia Yun such a shocking dance that was very lethal to men. Even if she said that she had no intentions, no one would believe it!
Dance finished.
Jia Yun praised: "My girl's stunning dance is really extraordinary. I am deeply honored to see this dance today!"
Li Feixue smiled: "It is my honor to be able to dance for you and be appreciated by you!"
After saying that, Li Feixue put on a white cloak and sat down opposite Jia Yun again.
This time Jia Yun took the initiative to raise her glass and toasted Li Feixue with a glass of wine. Li Feixue raised her glass in greeting and drank it down in one gulp.
Jia Yun smiled and said: "The girl said that she only knows a little bit about dance skills. This is really too modest. Although I don't know about dance skills, I can still see the girl's dance from this stunning dance."
He has extraordinary skills and knows this way well."
Li Feixue smiled: "Thank you, sir."
Jia Yun then looked at Yaqin who stood next to her again and poured herself a drink: "This girl Yaqin's piano skills are also extraordinary. Yaqin, Yaqin, is worthy of her name."
Yaqin also smiled: "It's okay for you to praise my girl, but I can't bear to praise me. I'm just a girl. I'm honored to have this opportunity to play the piano for you."
Jia Yun smiled and asked: "From what the girl said, I guess she has also studied?"
Yaqin said "Yes": "I have been with my girl since I was a child, and I asked her to take care of me. When she studied with Mr.
I am willing to endure hardships in my studies. I have been studying with the girl for many years, but my knowledge is far worse than that of the girl. "
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is probably a modest remark, but Jia Yun heard one thing from this modest remark, that is, Li Feixue must have been reading for many years and is quite capable in reading.
Because, thinking about it, he will not lose to Xue Baochai in this aspect.
Jia Yun asked again: "Where's the piano? Who did you learn it from?"
Yaqin said frankly: "Of course I learned it from the girl. I am not a girl who flatters my girl. Sir, my girl is not only good at dancing but also good at playing the piano. It's just that when she dances, it is inconvenient to play the piano, so she
I will accompany her."
When Li Feixue heard this, she smiled and added: "Yaqin, don't be rude in front of adults."
Yaqin quickly apologized to Jia Yun: "Sir, please forgive me for my rudeness."
Jia Yun smiled and said: "I'm not rude. You just told the truth. How can I be rude?"
Jia Yun looked at Li Feixue: "Young girl is a woman who is not inferior to men. Not only is she knowledgeable and talented, but she also manages the maids around her in an extraordinary way."
Li Feixue smiled modestly: "Your Majesty, what you said is really flattering. I am just a girl from a boudoir, how can I bear the comment that 'women should not be compared to men'? If your Majesty said that to me, I would be flattered."
Jia Yun asked again: "I heard that the girl is also proficient in medical skills?"
Li Feixue smiled and replied: "I understand a little bit."
Jia Yun smiled and said: "What the girl calls 'a little knowledge' means mastery."
After saying this, both Li Feixue and Yaqin laughed.
Looking at Li Feixue with a charming smile, Jia Yun couldn't help but sigh in her heart: What a strange woman this is!
Her appearance is comparable to that of Qin Keqing, her figure is also good, she is as beautiful as a fairy, she is good at reading, proficient in dancing, proficient in guqin, proficient in medical skills, and is smart, smart and capable...
If such a woman is not a strange woman, then there will be no strange women in the world.
It would not be difficult for such a woman to become an idol goddess in her previous life.
Cao Gong did not write about Li Feixue in the original work. What is certain is that if Li Feixue was written about, then Li Feixue would be among the best in the official list of the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling.
In Jia Yun's opinion, in terms of a woman's comprehensive charm, even Xue Baochai, Qin Keqing, and Lin Daiyu cannot compare to Li Feixue.
Jia Yun has traveled through time for several years and met many beauties, but she usually only paid attention to Jin Chai who was written about in the original work, and almost didn't pay much attention to the women not mentioned in the original work. But now, even though it is just her first meeting with Li Feixue, Jia Yun
Yun became very interested in this strange woman.
However, even if Jia Yun thinks that Li Feixue's overall charm is stronger than Xue Baochai, even if he has a strong interest, in his heart, Xue Baochai is still the best, as the saying goes, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
What's more, he is already engaged to Xue Baochai and will marry Xue Baochai next year.
Under such circumstances, even if a woman he loves more appears next to him, it is impossible for him to cancel his marriage to Xue Baochai. This kind of thing seems ridiculous to him.
He will also restrain himself in such matters.
Now that he is engaged to Xue Baochai, since he is going to marry Xue Baochai, and now that Xue Baochai is going to be his wife, then the woman he loves most in this life should be Xue Baochai.
Back to business.
Li Feixue continued to drink and chat with Jia Yun.
The difference from before was that Jia Yun was more proactive when chatting now and asked some questions about Li Feixue. Of course, he rationally avoided some taboo privacy issues.
Jia Yun asked, why is Li Feixue proficient in dancing, guqin and medicine?
As the daughter of a wealthy businessman, it is not surprising that Li Feixue has a good foundation in reading.
In this world of red mansions, many wealthy businessmen's daughters are educated, but it is very rare that Li Feixue is also proficient in dancing, guqin, and medical skills.
Li Feixue's answer was that her father Li Danbai asked her to learn dancing and Guqin when she was a child.
In terms of medical skills, it is because her mother is the daughter of a doctor and is proficient in medical skills. Although her parents did not intend for her to study medicine, she has been interested in medical skills since she was a child, and now she has a "little knowledge" of medical skills.
If this answer were placed in the previous life, Jia Yun would not be surprised.
However, in this world of Red Mansions, Jia Yun felt a little strange when considering Li Feixue's family background.
It's okay for Li Danbai to ask Li Feixue to learn guqin. Guqin is an elegant thing. Even Lin Daiyu learned guqin when she was a child. But asking Li Feixue to learn dancing is strange.
In this world of red mansions, dancing is not a decent thing for a woman to do. Generally, girls from wealthy families will not learn this kind of thing.
Jia Yun thought to herself: Maybe it's because Yangzhou is a prosperous place with flowers and willows, a gentle and wealthy place, where there are many women learning talents and dancing, or maybe Li Danbai himself likes women's dancing, so he let Li Feixue grow up.
I started learning to dance...
This is just Jia Yun's conjecture.
Although he has visited Jiangnan twice, he has never been to Yangzhou, which is located on the bank of Slender West Lake. Although he has visited Yangzhou in his previous life, the Yangzhou of his previous life and the Yangzhou of this Red Mansion World are obviously two different things.
He had never met Li Danbai either.
When Jia Yun thought about it, this matter should not be considered a taboo private matter, so she asked: "Why did your father specifically let you learn dancing skills?"
Hearing this, Li Feixue showed a look of embarrassment in front of Jia Yun for the first time today. However, as soon as this look of embarrassment appeared, she stopped it and responded with a smile: "I don't know, since it was my father who asked me to
I learned that as a daughter, it’s hard to refuse. All you have to do is follow my father’s instructions.”
A playful smile appeared on Jia Yun's lips.
Li Feixue is good at observing words and expressions, and Jia Yun is also good at observing words and expressions.
Even though Li Feixue's embarrassment appeared and was immediately suppressed by her, it was still keenly observed by Jia Yun.
There may be something fishy about this matter!
It may not be that Li Feixue doesn’t know, but it’s just that she knows and can’t say it!
However, Jia Yun is just curious and will not pursue this matter without insight.
Unknowingly, as the two drank and chatted, another two quarters of an hour passed.
In total, this poetic lunch had lasted for more than an hour. Jia Yun drank a lot of wine, and Li Feixue also drank a lot, and their faces were as rosy as peach blossoms.
So Jia Yun smiled and said, "If I continue to drink this wine, I'm afraid I'll get drunk. Let's put some food on the table."
Li Feixue didn't persuade her to drink any more, and immediately asked Yaqin to serve a bowl of rice for Jia Yun, and also served a small bowl for herself.
After finishing the meal, Jia Yun said with a smile: "Thank you very much for Miss Feixue's hospitality today. The wine is good, the food is good, the scenery is good, and the girl's Jinghong Dance is even better. It is a worthwhile trip for me. Let's call it a day."
.”
Saying that, Jia Yun stood up.
Li Feixue stood up and said with a charming smile: "If you have nothing important to do, sir, could you please allow me to accompany you to walk in the snow in this garden to relax? Firstly, walking after eating and drinking is good for the body; secondly,
, there are some beautiful views in the garden, it would be an elegant thing to enjoy them while walking in the snow, and thirdly, I still have something to say to the adults."
Hearing this, Jia Yun once again had a playful smile on her lips...
This is her attempt to expose her!
Jia Yun paused for a moment before nodding and smiling: "That's fine. Since the girl has such good intentions, it would be disappointing if I refuse. Besides, the girl entertained me very well today, so I can't justify it if I refuse."
Li Feixue smiled charmingly: "My lord, please!"
Immediately, the two of them walked down from the second floor together, walked out of the Yuxue Pavilion, walked across the wooden bridge, and walked towards other scenery in the back garden of the mansion...
