Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 219 Where did the silk flowers come from?

If the performance is really wonderful, there will indeed be people cheering, commenting and discussing. Although Shu Xiaoxiao's voice was abrupt, it was still reasonable.

It’s just that sword dancing is generally more appreciated by men, but these men feel that women should be demure and not too aggressive, so no matter how well they perform, in their eyes they are not as good as those girls who perform music, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Most of the women could only watch the fun, had little contact with it, and could not understand many of the tricks, so the sword dancing performances received only mediocre response at the banquet.

But this was the first time for Shu Xiaoxiao to experience such a thing. Fortunately, he was still a favored lord in Kyoto, and he was still a child. Others would at most tease him, thinking that Lord Ye was a man of good character at such a young age, and would not say anything.

Some people even threw two silk flowers to the girl on the stage out of respect for Shu Xiaoxiao's support.

Yang Luoning on the stage was a little surprised. She was the legitimate daughter of General Zhongwu's Mansion, and her family background of the fourth rank was only acceptable in Kyoto.

But she was not very sociable among the noble ladies in Kyoto. She lived in the border area for a few years when she was a child. The first things she came into contact with were various weapons and the first thing she learned was horse stance. She liked it very much and her father even praised her kung fu skills.

But after returning to Beijing, her kung fu skills were of little use in Kyoto. As for the arts of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, her family invited many teachers to teach her, but she had no talent and learned everything in a mess. Her mother sighed when she looked at her because she was really not good enough.

According to her mother, if she were to play the piano at the banquet, she was worried that the people attending the banquet would not be able to bear it. It is not easy for people to attend a banquet, so she should not pollute their ears.

As for painting, the General Zhongwu's Mansion didn't have much face, and they had lost too much and couldn't go out to see people. She still wanted to save some face, so she didn't want to wear a mask when she went out.

In the end, the only thing she could show off was her sword skills. As long as she was restrained, it was still acceptable. Later, whenever there were banquets, she would dance with the sword. After all, it was something she could show off. However, the response was really mediocre. Most people treated it as a dance. The only thing she got was that she didn't count down the number of silk flowers, but she was already very satisfied.

This was the first time someone had shown such support. Although she was very happy, she wouldn't mind dancing for Master Ye again if she had the chance. But it was definitely not possible now as there were people behind her. She nodded kindly to Master Ye and left the stage.

Jing Chiting asked curiously: "Are you going to give all the silk flowers to Miss Yang?" Didn't you want to comfort other girls just now?

"Correct!"

"why?"

"I like it!" Shu Xiaoxiao said as a matter of course. It's like brushing the charts for an idol. She will definitely brush as many as she can. How can she keep you? As for the others, they have nothing to do with her. After all, it's not easy to have someone you like. She hopes that there is no danger of her reputation being ruined.

This is the joy of chasing stars!

Someone looked at the friend next to him and asked, "Do you think Miss Yang dances well?"

"It's okay. I feel it's quite lethal." Shu Tingfei said. Although he was not specialized in swordsmanship, he could see that Miss Yang had a certain foundation in martial arts.

"Yeah! If we can practice to this level, it will be more convenient when we go to play...well, it will be more convenient, right? Those pianos! Paintings and so on, we won't be able to use them anymore."

I originally thought that it would be more convenient to put it in a sack, but when I saw Jing Chiting next to me, I immediately changed my mind. It would be better if fewer people knew about their action, the better.

Liu Xuanyu's eyes lit up. Indeed, if he had this kind of kung fu, beating Pei Jiezhi would not be a piece of cake. Maybe he wouldn't even need a sack. He would practice martial arts in the future and strive to beat Pei Jiezhi with one kick and Zhong Yongjie with one punch.

"I am also giving this basket of silk flowers to Miss Yang as a token of my determination to practice martial arts in the future."

Su Shiche also silently threw a basket of silk flowers at hand to Miss Yang. This set of kung fu is indeed beautiful. He can also try it when he goes back. Otherwise, he will be a hindrance when he goes out. What if they don't take him with them when they put on the sack? This situation must be prevented.

The servant had a dazed look on his face as he threw so many silk flowers into Miss Yang's basket. With these young masters here, the result of today's competition should be very unexpected, right?

"Young Master, what were you talking about just now?" Jing Chiting asked in a pinched voice. Are you hiding a little secret in front of him?

He was wondering who would be so bored as to attack the kid from Marquis Dingkang's mansion. Turns out it was these little guys. They are quite playful.

If they hadn't let it slip, he would never have thought of it.

"What kind of set? We don't know either."

Several people shook their heads seriously, four identical puzzled faces: What are you talking about? We don't know, we are so kind that we won't put people in a sack?

Jing Chiting snorted and laughed: "Not bad, you are quite thoughtful."

Four people: Hehe!

Yun Qinghan, who was hiding in the dark, shook his head helplessly as he looked at his useless junior brother. He usually watched him practice martial arts without blinking, and his mouth was almost drooling. He obviously liked it, but didn't want to endure the hardship. He practiced the sword technique for three days and rested for two days. Until now, he has been practicing the sword technique for a long time.

Now when I see other people's kung fu, I feel envious again. I have to go back and tell my master that in addition to memorizing, I have to supervise my junior brother's martial arts training and stop envying others so much.

After the ladies finished their performances one by one, it was time to determine their rankings. The girls, who were originally full of confidence, looked at each other in bewilderment when they heard the names read out by the nanny.

Did they hear it wrong? Even a dark horse wouldn't come out like this!

They also knew about Miss Yang's sword dance, which hadn't been performed for several years. Apart from the sword dance, they had never seen her perform anything else. She had always been ranked in the middle and lower ranks among them. It was okay that she was far ahead this time, but how come she got so many extra votes?

Do you feel like your eyes and ears are starting to deceive you?

A girl remembered Ye Boye's reaction. Could it be Ye Boye?

But no matter how good Mr. Ye thought it was, he wouldn't give all his silk flowers to Miss Yang so many, right?

After hearing the count, all the girls looked at each other in confusion and looked at Yang Luoning strangely. He was still the same as before, and he didn't have any special powers.

Even Yang Luoning felt a little uncomfortable under such a gaze, and stood up and asked respectfully: "Is this a mistake?"

The ladies at the top smiled and looked at the confused girls, thinking: There is nothing wrong, it's just a little accident.

The old lady of the Zhenguo Mansion said with a smile: "If you want to know what happened, you have to ask our Lord Ye. Someone, go and invite Lord Ye over."

Can Shu Xiaoxiao say that she didn't expect it either?

Facing the gazes of everyone on the field, Shu Xiaoxiao said respectfully: "Hello, old lady, hello, ladies, beautiful sisters, good evening!"

"We are in a bad situation now!" said the old lady of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion with a deliberately stern face.

"Who is it! How dare he make the old lady unhappy? Please tell me, I will definitely teach him a lesson." Shu Xiaoxiao looked like she wanted to vent the old lady's anger for the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, which made people laugh.

"Okay, stop talking nonsense. I'm talking to you. Tell me, where did all these silk flowers come from? Everyone has a limited number of silk flowers, so the extra ones you take cannot be counted." The old lady from the Zhenguo Mansion was also a little curious. These silk flowers were limited in number, and she had specifically told the servants that no one should dare to give them to Master Ye privately.
