Chapter 264 The future first dancer of the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 264 The Future First Dance Man in the Tang Dynasty
The construction of terraced fields in Donggu is still going on. Unlike before the New Year, when the farmers came from home this time, they not only brought farm tools, but also carefully loaded some seeds of spring crops in their packages. During the end of the year, the heavy snow accumulated enough moisture. The ladder fields are the most moisturizing and moisture-retaining. If they sow seeds in those ladder fields that have been built, they will not miss the harvest of this season.
The land at home can only be thrown to the left-behind elderly and the muddy family for the time being. This year is destined to be a year when no one can relax. Men build fields here, and then grow crops in the ladder fields. The women and the elderly at home have to manage the slopes, which is not the end. After the spring planting is over, the women who can hold half of the sky in the farmhouse family will have to set off to the East Valley next to the county town.
By that time, the Longmen Xis were going to return to the grassland, and the ladder fields should be almost done. Women had to rush to meet with the men to help repair the house. The Tian was there. According to the men who came back at the end of the year, after the ladder fields were repaired, more than 20,000 Tang people in Longmen County had to move to Donggu to live. I dare not be careless in this matter. I have to take a good place first.
In this way, the crops on the slope can only be thrown to the elderly at home. Alas, even the children have to suffer, but this is impossible. If you want to live a good life in the future, you must not endure hardships. In fact, even if the men don’t say it, who do women and the elderly who are also farmers understand this truth?
The East Valley is in full swing, and Longmen County is not at all easy. Since the first Hu caravan came at the end of the first month, it has seemed like a dam breaking down these days. The Hu caravans that were often scattered in various prefectures and counties in the northern region are rushing here. What’s even more weird is that these caravans didn’t bring much goods at the beginning, but there were quite a lot of grain, various craftsmen and materials for building houses. Subsequently, the Longmen Market, which was rumored to be smaller than the two cities of Jinyang, was built under the eyes of the people in the county.
There are many caravans who bring food, craftsmen, and house-making materials, and there are many large animals and people. Whether it is a livestock or a person, they have to eat. In this way, people are crowded into the city, and in the blink of an eye, the few taverns in the city are crowded with each other. Even so, they rely on the temporary development of many houses into taverns and inns to barely support them.
Changes in the overall environment have led to changes in Xiaoxiaolongmen County. Almost overnight, many hasty renovated taverns and car shops appeared in the city. As the construction of the large market outside the city officially began, a large number of employment opportunities suddenly appeared in the county town with a stagnant water over the past few decades.
The construction of the ladder fields in the East Valley absorbs all the strong labor in the countryside. In this way, the laborers who build large markets can only find ways from the city. At this time, as long as you are a man over fifteen years old, you can always find work on the busy construction site outside. Not only men, as long as women are willing, they can find errands outside to cook and cook pots. Even the elderly who are not very good at body can follow them and work to watch the venue.
People shouted, horses and neighed, and the surrounding area of Longmen County was filled with unprecedented noisy and restlessness. The vitality in the chilly cold could be clearly felt across ten miles. Although some people in the city complained that such days were too noisy, most people were happy to face such huge changes that happened almost in the blink of an eye. No matter what, today's days are indeed much better than before. It is much easier to make money and buying things! While enjoying everything brought by this change, they also have an unstoppable longing in their hearts.
When the noise and restlessness in front of you finally settled, what will the Longmen County town under your feet become like?
The noise outside did not affect the small courtyard in the innermost part of Longmen Inn. Lord Tang Cheng, the county magistrate, was having a banquet in the main room of the courtyard.
There were six guests in total, and the other five were from the same nine surnames as Ashidezhi. These six people were not only the largest merchants among the nine surnames Hu people, but also the backbone of the nine surnames Hu people who lived scattered everywhere.
After a long negotiation that lasted nearly a day, both parties to the deal were waiting for a relaxing feast.
Tang Cheng played a role in his personal explanation of Guan Pingchao before. The dishes at this dinner were indeed dazzling and extremely rich. The singing and dancing performances with the banquet were beyond the expectations of Liuhu Shang. Although the colors of the philosophers were indeed not good, the songs and dances they performed had a unique and attractive flavor - the pure flavor of the capital and the Jiangnan. This taste is really not easy to see in the north, especially in the remote Longmen County.
Tang Cheng, who was sitting in the main seat, played with the wine bottle in his hand, while watching the green waist dance of the Jiaofang artist, he turned his eyes to An Lushan, who was standing behind Ashidzu from time to time.
These six Hu Shang brought dozens of family members, but the only one who could enter the main hall during the banquet was An Lushan. He was named Jin by Tang Cheng. It was obvious that this little guy is very excited now.
Seeing An Lushan, who was pretending to be reserved, slightly moving with the rhythm of the instrument, Tang Cheng suddenly remembered another thing about him.
An Lushan is good at dancing. The Tang Dynasty dances are divided into soft dance and healthy dance, and each has branches. There are three most famous sword dances. In addition to the sword dance that Gongsun is good at, Hu Teng and Hu Xuan dances that were introduced from Hu are the most popular. An Lushan is good at this Hu Xuan dance. When he holds the three towns of Jiedu, he will dance to Emperor Xuanzong and the Imperial Concubine every time he goes to Chang'an. This not only won the favor of both of them, but the rewards he receives are really not young.
Looking at the real person in front of you and thinking about the records in history books, this kind of illusion of real and historical is really wonderful. Who would have thought that the child who was not good-looking in front of you would end the prosperous Tang Dynasty in the future? Who would have thought that he, who seemed very thin, would become a fat man who would have difficulty getting on the horse later? Who would have thought that this fat man who kept breathing while walking could dance beautiful Hu Xuanwu?
When a scene of a fat man dancing Hu Xuanwu in his mind, Tang Cheng couldn't help laughing. At this moment, the pipa closed in the field. The soft dance of the pipa "Green Waist" by the pipa has ended and he is leaving the court with a blessing.
Hearing the teeth raised again, Tang Cheng stretched out his hand to press the pressure when another genius was about to go on stage.
After the teeth stopped suddenly, Tang Cheng turned around and looked at Ashidezhi and smiled, "When I was just watching this song "Green Waist", I occasionally saw An Lushan's hands and feet seem to be moving in conjunction. Last time I only knew that this son was smart and agile. Could it be that he is good at singing and dancing?" At this point, Tang Cheng raised his eyes and looked at An Lushan with a smile and said, "I like the young man. An Lushan, if you really have this talent, you might as well dance a song to help all the elders and drink. Are you so daring?"
Through the mouth of Ashidezhi, five other great merchants with nine surnames Hu knew that Tang Cheng had a unique eye for An Lushan, and they also verified this point by calling Jin just now. Therefore, it was not surprising that Tang Cheng's sudden proposal was just a matter of thinking that adults would tease him when they met a child they like.
After all, An Lushan was around him. Tang Cheng gave him a blue eye and Ashidzhi's face was quite brilliant. He laughed and said, "It's really hard to say that he is good at the word "two", but this guy has liked to dance Hu Xuanwu since he was a child. He has practiced it for two or three years." After saying this, he turned his head and said, "Lushan, Tang County Zun personally ordered the general, are you afraid?"
For a nine-name Zahu, the status of the county magistrate is really not low, not to mention that An Lushan is just a ten-year-old child. From last time to now, he has a good impression of Tang Chengshi, who values him. This kind of favor is even to the point of gratitude. At this time, when he heard that Tang Cheng was a little brave, An Lushan, who was originally a little timid, suddenly raised his chest and said, "I dare not say whether he is dancing well or not, but since the county magistrate opened his mouth, the villain should do his best to flatter him."
It is not easy for An Lushan to have such a reply in such a scene. Tang Cheng sucked his hands and laughed: "Okay, it's indeed a heroic young man. Come on, if you dance well, I will be rewarded!"
It is rare that a Tangren County Magistrate, who was born in a Jinshi, liked and valued the young men of his clan so much. As the Hu merchants and others rose up, they all gathered to cheer An Lushan up and said that if he danced well, they would be rewarded.
An Lushan's biological father died early and began to live in the Turkic tribe with his widowed mother at a very young age. When did he, who was used to the name of "bamiana", have he ever valued this way? For a moment, his whole face was flushed with blood and redness. After taking a deep breath, the little guy lifted his pants and stepped onto the dance blanket in the middle of the room.
As the name suggests, Hu Xuanwu was introduced from the Western Regions. Dancers stood on a small round blanket and sang like the wind, leaping across, but their feet could not leave the blanket half an inch. Since they were a healthy dance, the faster the Hu spin, the better the better. The best dancer could actually reach the state of "a string drum and a pair of sleeves, and the snow floated and a kite turned to a panther dance".
The flower drums are dong and the sound of the pipa, and An Lushan dances on the dance carpet. After all, he is just a child who is just over ten years old and has not undergone professional training. Although he has been dancing very hard, it is really not good. The only advantageous thing is that he relies on his body to rotate quickly, but he lacks a lot of beauty.
While watching the dance of Xiao An Lushan in front of him, Tang Cheng tried his best to imagine the scene of An Lushan, an adult, dancing Hu Xuanwu, and using this as a means of self-entertainment. While he was just cheering on himself, he heard Qizhi sitting next to him suddenly "huh".
When Tang Shi was having a banquet, there must be a keen genius with him. Qizhi was guiding these kabukis in the sects. Tang Cheng brought her with him. Hearing this, he turned his face and asked, "What's wrong?"
"This is the one..."
"An Lushan"
"Yes, this An Lushan is really a good dancer." Qizhi stared at the dance blanket without blinking, and his low voice was filled with uncontrollable excitement. "Look, there are not many people who can do this movement of turning and sinking down. Most children are not as low as he did after practicing in the teaching workshop for a year. And... Look at how he looked when he relaxed his arms and raised his eyebrows, although the rules were not enough, he could get a bit of a strong spiritual essence. Look at his posture when Hu Xuan was clearly not guided by a special professor, but no professor could do it. This An Lushan really has the talent for dancing and dancing."
"Oh!" Tang Cheng knew what Qizhi said, so he didn't feel surprised after hearing this, so he just agreed casually. But just as he turned around and filled the wine bottle in his hand, a sudden thought passed by his mind like lightning. He immediately turned around with the wine bottle, "Qizhi, you accept him as your disciple, so as not to ruin this good bone."
"Accept him as his disciple?" Qizhi was stunned when he heard this, then turned his head to look at An Lushan dancing for a while before nodding, "I am idle too, I can teach him this kid."
"Since you need to teach, you need to be careful. You can't do it for three days to fish and two days to dry the net."
Qizhi knew that Tang Cheng was a serious person, and after hearing this, he didn't think much about it. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, Acheng, I will definitely teach him."
"Well, how does he have a future in dance?"
"There is no need to practice soft dance. If you attack Jianwu alone, he has such a root and a famous teacher like me." When Qizhi said this, he looked confident. "I hope to be famous in Hebei Dao in three years. If there are five years, Chang'an can be used as much as possible. If he can work hard, ten years later, all the scholars in the world will mention An Lushan's name when talking about Jianwu."
"Oh, if you teach him, wouldn't he be the number one dancer in the Tang Dynasty in ten years?"
"Danny? This name sounds so fresh." Qiori pursed her lips and smiled: "Who can tell the things in ten years? But if he is willing to work hard, there is hope."
"Okay!" Tang Cheng suddenly slapped the case in front of him and laughed: "It's settled!"
At that time, the Hu Xuan dance that An Lushan was dancing was about to end. It was the time to close his momentum. Tang Cheng slapped the table and suddenly disrupted his momentum. He stood there with a nervous look on his face.
The flower drums and pipa in the musicians' hands stopped in response to the sound. All six of Ashidezhi turned their faces to look at Tang Cheng, wondering why he was like this.
"You can dance well! Although it is inevitable that there are some shortcomings, your talent is fully demonstrated. This is the reward for you, and you have already collected it!" Tang Cheng looked at An Lushan and took off the jade pendant on his waist while speaking warmly. Seeing that he had such many Hu merchants, they were all very eye-catching merchants. Naturally, they could see the value of this pure dark green jade pendant. However, he did not expect that Tang Chengzhen would reward An Lushan, and Ashidezhi shook his hands and said he didn't dare.
"This boy is very talented in Yu Jianwu. However, the original entertainment entertainment was able to find such a talent. It is really a surprise. It is rare to have a talent. What is a mere piece of accessories? Take it." Tang Cheng stood up and walked to An Lushan as he spoke, stuffed the accessories into his hand. Then he reached out and touched his head, turned to Ashidezhi and others and smiled: "You are all rich people. If you see the talented young men in the clan today, how can you not be rewarded?"
As soon as he said this, Ashidezhi and others laughed. The Tangren County Magistrate said that they had nothing to say. Everyone was rich and really caring about these little money. They donated generously for a while. In a short while, the tray in front of An Lushan was filled with various objects, and they were all worth a few dollars. Even though An Lushan was young, he finally followed Ashidezhi for some days. Even though his eyesight was still poor, he could probably estimate that these objects could be worth at least dozens of cents of coins.
What does a few dozen cents of money mean for a ten-year-old child from a poor family? When this number popped up in his mind, An Lushan felt dizzy as if he was struck by lightning. He didn't expect that Hu Xuanwu, who had been trained only for his hobbies, could bring him so much attention and gains!
After Ashidezhi gave the gifts, he smiled and asked Tang Cheng a question that several other Hu Shangs were very interested in, "Tang County Zun, does An Lushan have such talent in Jianwu?"
"This county is also an amateur in singing and dancing instruments, but this talent is not something I discovered." At this point, Tang Cheng turned around and smiled and said, "Seven Zhi, you have the intention to accept disciples, at least you have to show off some skills for An Lushan and all the guests."
After hearing this, Qizhi smiled and went to change the dance clothes without mentioning it. When Ashide joined the banquet, he felt that the woman was so beautiful that she was dazzling. Although he was curious about her identity, since Tang Cheng didn't mention it, he couldn't ask. When he heard the strange name Qizhi, he suddenly felt familiar, but he couldn't remember that he had heard it there.
He was thinking that a Hu Shang was already next to him and said in surprise: "Mr. Mingfu, is this the top-notch Qing Gong Guest House in Yangzhou that day?"
Hearing this, Tang Cheng nodded with a smile, "It's right."
"It's her! No wonder she looks familiar." The one who answered the conversation was another Hu Shang. "I heard that Miss Qizhi went from Yangzhou Happy Building to Chang'an Yazheng Garden on Hua Street in Jinyang last time. Then she beat Liang Panpan at the banquet at the Princess's Mansion and firmly sat in the position of the imperial court. Although the name of gorgeous singing and dancing is far away in the north, I can hear it! But I wonder how Miss Qizhi was born at Longmen?"
This kind of topic is the most interesting during the banquet. After Hu Shang asked, the others looked at Tang Cheng with interest.
Qizhi's reputation is indeed quite good! Tang Cheng smiled, "I'm going to hide it from you. Qizhi is the outer room of his official, and he is now living in Longmen County."
"Ah...oh...congratulations!" When the Hu merchants said this, their eyes were so envious and jealous that they could not hide.
It was through these few gossips that Qi Ji, who had changed into dance clothes, had already come to the dance carpet in the room. She was already so beautiful. After wearing a thin dress, she was wearing a gold-pressed jacquard dance dress and was even more beautiful. The waves in her eyes turned around and the whole room was silent, and the needles could be heard.
An Lushan was sitting next to Tang Cheng. This was Qizhi's seat just now. He was still pounding in his heart until now and he didn't even dare to look directly at Qizhi's face. She was so beautiful that she felt dazzling when she looked at her directly.
The flower drum and the pipa rose again. Qi weaving danced the same Hu Xuan as An Lushan. Her sleeves were flying up and the snow floated harrier was flying. Her dance was really incomparable to An Lushan. It was really a black bead that burst out with the ears and chased the flying stars, and the rainbow halo was light scarf to catch the electric current. The diving whale secretly sucked the waves and the wind danced in the sky. Who can tell the beginning and the beginning? How can the four seats separate the back? When they danced to the deepest place, the intermittent sound of the golden bells on their wrists and ankles was connected into a crisp and clear sound, which was combined with the dance posture of the floating harrier and made people feel the most eye-catching and audio-visual entertainment.
The flower drum closed the hammer and the pipa stopped the sound. Even the clear sound stopped for a long time, and then the Hu Shang woke up and strode his hands and applauded.
"The weather is too cold, and this dance clothes are too thin. Go and change your clothes before talking." Tang Cheng greeted Qizhi while looking at An Lushan beside him. He saw that his upper body leaning forward was so strong that his red face was shining brightly, and his hands were tightly held together after a few strokes of the desk.
"Children are children, and they should give positive motivation and guidance for things that are interested in him! It is better to let him focus on singing and dancing than fighting and killing!" Tang Cheng smiled knowingly and withdrew his eyes from An Lushan and said to Ashidezhi and others: "This son Jianwu's talent was discovered by Qizhi, and then she felt pity for her to accept disciples. He just told someone that as long as this son is willing to work hard, the name of the nine surnames of Juan Lushan will be spread to the world in ten years. Ashide leader, I don't know what you think?"
The Hu people in the Nine surnames have always been despised because of their bloodline and have few backgrounds, so naturally they will not be as worried as the parents of the Tang people. In addition, An Lushan's background is far from good. For him, he can be so appreciated by Tang Cheng and can have the Chang'an courtesan Qizhi personally teach him. In addition, he likes him, and has a famous future waiting for him. How can he refuse this?
After seeing Ashideqi nodding and telling his mother on his behalf, Tang Cheng turned his head and looked at An Lushan with a smile, "Do you want to?"
The excited blush on An Lushan's face had not faded. He looked at the precious things in the tray in front of him, and then looked at Qizhi who had changed his clothes. The little kid sat down and leaned in front of Tang Cheng on his knees. Dongdongdong knocked three times in a row, "Thank you for your fulfillment!"
Chapter completed!
