Chapter 74: Nong Yu plays the zither, Zi Nu dances
Han Fei left, leaving Cheng Jiao alone. He had promised to treat Cheng Jiao to a meal, but he didn't even pay for the drinks. He was becoming more and more casual.
"Put it on his account."
Zi Nu looked at Cheng Jiao helplessly, "I know."
Listening to Nong Yu's cheerful little tune, Cheng Jiao suddenly leaned close to Zi Nu's ear.
"Do you remember the bet?"
Zi Nu asked in confusion: "What bet?"
Cheng Jiao reminded: "Nong Yu."
Zi Nu suddenly remembered that when she was being affectionate with Cheng Jiao, Nong Yu came over with a zither in her arms, interrupting her and Cheng Jiao's further actions.
"What do you want to do?"
She was a little confused. Wasn't Nongyu playing the piano now?
Cheng Jiao bit Zi Nu's ear.
"I want to watch you dance and let Nongyu play the piano, okay?"
Zi Nu was a little shy and her face turned slightly red.
She had never danced before a man.
Looking at Cheng Jiao's burning eyes, she did not refuse and nodded gently: "Shall we go to the dance studio? I will talk to Nong Yu."
Cheng Jiao's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay!"
Zi Nu walked in her high heels to the side of Nong Yu who was playing the piano.
"Nongyu, I want to dance. Can you accompany me?"
Nanyue looked at Zinu's face which was glowing red, and out of the corner of her eye she saw Cheng Jiao looking over here.
She was smart and reacted immediately, smiling: "Okay, Sister Zi Nu, let's go now."
Cheng Jiao was very happy when he heard this. Today he would take the first step towards his dream.
Zi Nu walked into the dance studio, entered the changing room, and prepared to change into her dance costume.
Her long purple hair was scattered and tied up with a ribbon and three silver hairpins. A layer of dark purple tulle was wrapped around her chest, and paired with a gradient long-sleeved water skirt, she looked cool and elegant.
Zi Nu walked out of the locker room, tapping away in her crimson high heels, and came to the dance studio.
The surroundings of the room were dark, making the center even brighter.
Zi Nu looked at Cheng Jiao who was burning incense and drinking tea in front of her, and suppressed her shyness.
Nanyue felt very happy when she saw her sister who looked like a little woman.
He played the soothing music with a little excitement.
Zi Nu followed Nong Yu's playing of the zither and used her sleeves as a Red Silk Sword to perform a sword dance.
Cheng Jiao admired Zi Nu's dancing posture. Her swaying and flexible figure showed a strong and powerful image.
As Zi Nu danced, she gradually put aside her initial restraint and immersed herself in the mood of the dance.
The sound of Nanyue's zither was as melodious as that of a chime, and Zinu danced gracefully to the music.
The dancer turns back with wide sleeves, her eyes full of affection, as if autumn water flows tenderly. She shakes her jade arm and looks at Cheng Jiao, her gaze fixed on her delicate body without moving.
Nong Yu, who was playing the piano beside Cheng Jiao, was also fascinated by Zi Nu's dance.
It was the first time she saw Zi Nu practicing sword dance in the dance studio without the Red Snake Sword in her hand.
Instead, the sword dance was improved by using long sleeves instead, making it less strong and resolute and more charming.
Cheng Jiao's hand holding the teacup gradually lost the feeling of the tea's temperature, and before he knew it, the tea had become cold.
Zi Nu's figure lingered in his mind for a long time.
He sang softly, "One glance can overwhelm a city, another glance can overwhelm a country. I'd rather not know that she can overwhelm a city and a country, because it's hard to find a beautiful woman again."
Nanyue was recalling Sister Zi Nu's dance and Cheng Jiao's singing, with a longing look in her eyes, and the way she looked at Cheng Jiao became different.
Since ancient times, beautiful women have loved talented men. Cheng Jiao's talent is fatally attractive to a woman like Nongyu who often plays the piano to cultivate herself and improve her sentiments.
A trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes. Cheng Jiao was sister Zi Nu's lover, so how could she possibly interfere? In her eyes, Zi Nu was not only a sister, but also a mother.
Zi Nu dragged her skirt and long purple sleeves over to Cheng Jiao and knelt down.
He chuckled and said, "How does it feel? Does it look good?"
Cheng Jiao made a cup of tea for Zi Nu. "She danced gracefully with her wide sleeves, like a flying geese stepping on the snow and mud. Her dance was so beautiful that I couldn't help but linger."
Zi Nu took a sip and was very happy. She had been practicing sword dance and hadn't danced like this for many years. It seemed that the young master liked it very much.
"You are exaggerating. I know myself well. Only the legendary Zhao Wu Lingbo Feiyan can be so beautiful as to overwhelm a country."
Cheng Jiao thought to himself, I will bring the Snow Girl home when the time comes and let you two have a competition with each other.
Nong Yu smiled and said, "I didn't expect Sister Zi Nu also had a hidden trick. This is the first time I've seen it."
Zi Nu looked at Nanyue and said, "Nanyue, your piano skills have improved."
Nong Yu said happily, "It was thanks to the music my sister sang last night that I gained some insights."
Zi Nu smiled and said, "Then you should thank me, sir. I learned it secretly."
Nanyue bowed slightly to Cheng Jiao: "Thank you, sir."
Cheng Jiao waved his hands and said, "I just happened to hear her singing. It would be great if it could help Sister Nongyu."
Nanyue's sixth sense told her that Cheng Jiao seemed to be hiding some secret.
She had heard many of Cheng Jiao's poetic sentences, which were in line with music theory. These were very different from today's poems and had a unique charm.
Did the young master want to keep a low profile? She didn't quite understand.
The three of them were drinking tea and chatting in the dance room. Cheng Jiao talked about all kinds of strange sights, which surprised Zi Nu and Nong Yu repeatedly. They thought there were such sights in the world.
Further north, there are icebergs that have existed since ancient times.
Sometimes the whole day there is as bright as day, and sometimes it is as bright as night. People with good fortune can even see the sky full of northern lights, as if immortals have attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven.
There is a ravine in the depths of the sea. It is extremely huge, five thousand miles long, one hundred miles wide, and over ten thousand meters deep. If you throw the current Xinzheng Royal City into it, there will not be even a bubble.
Nongyu was shocked when she heard this. How could there be such a place in the world?
Zi Nu Lian said: "Arabian Nights, it's really a fairy tale."
After Cheng Jiao finished speaking, he began to tell some love stories in the harem, replacing the emperor with the princes. He made the love between the concubines and the emperor touching, and the intrigues in the harem frightening.
Seeing Nanyue's uneasy expression, Zinu hugged her.
"Don't be afraid, Nongyu, it's just a story. If something like this really happened, your sister will protect you."
Nanyue nodded slightly.
Cheng Jiao low-key put away his little thoughts and quickly pulled back the exposed chicken feet.
"It's getting late, Nanyue, you should dress up and go to rest."
Nanyue left obediently, went back to her room, faced the bronze mirror, and took off her hairpin.
Recalling the magnificent scenery described by Cheng Jiao, I felt very envious. After listening to the story of the emperor's harem, I secretly had a little thought: how nice it would be if I could be with Sister Zi Nu.
Where Nanyue couldn't see, the vulture was observing the situation in the house gloomily.
Where the vulture couldn't see, Zi Nu and Cheng Jiao smiled at each other.
"It seems that Mr. Vulture came to Zi Lan Xuan first."
Cheng Jiao laughed softly and said, "Brother Wei Zhuang looks like he's going to be disappointed."
Zi Nu nodded and said, "Don't alert the enemy."
"You should be led into a trap."
"I just didn't expect this guy to have no patience at all. I thought I would have to wait five or six days."
Cheng Jiao held Zi Nu's hand in the dark.
"After all, not only are we looking for him, Ji Wuye is also looking for him. Unless he doesn't want the treasure he has been thinking about for decades, he has to act quickly and take the treasure and escape."
Zi Nu nodded, agreeing with Cheng Jiao's analysis.
"Nongyu's martial arts skills are average. I will take her place later and lead him in. You block him from behind."
Cheng Jiao looked at the vulture lying in the corner of the eaves and smiled.
"Well, first take down his backhand."
