Sure enough, Xie Shuhua's face showed a bit of bitterness, but it soon turned into determination, "Whether you can do it well or not is one thing, and whether you can do it or not is another thing. I just learned it. It's normal that I can't dance well."
Yes, but if I don’t participate, it’s a matter of my attitude, I’m not afraid.”
She said and nodded towards Xie Tu, "Thank you, Sixth Sister, for thinking about it for me. I still decided to participate."
Xie Qian smiled and said: "Grandma is not such an unreasonable person. Even if Third Sister dances poorly, she will not blame her. After all, it is an objective fact that you have only studied for a short time. Third Sister's attitude
But it is particularly worthy of recognition.”
When Xie Sihua heard this, the feather in his hand danced even more wildly.
She felt more and more disgusted in her heart. Who would want to be tied up with Xie Shuhua for no reason like this, or be tied up as a foil for her everywhere.
Xie Songhua sneered in her heart, pretending to be a poor little white flower.
During the time when I was teaching Xie Li, the most talked about thing was the dance of the eight hundred. Fortunately, Xie Li kept pretending to be clumsy in class. In the end, she was actually making wedding clothes for Xie Shuhua. She was really a die-hard fan.
According to ancient sayings, this Eight-Yuan Dance was invisible to ordinary people. However, this dance does not appear much now, and now it is rehearsed at home, so it is nothing.
When the old lady became interested, she called several daughters-in-law over and several children to perform in the open waterside pavilion.
Several daughters-in-law cheered and soon accompanied their mother-in-law.
Even the Qi family, as the head mother of the family, put aside the messy chores at home and followed her, but occasionally she had to give a few words to the people around her to deal with the things at hand.
Xie Songhua and others all changed into dark clothes with qujian robes, and were led in by Nanny Ying.
They are all teenage girls, and all of them are beautiful. Just standing there is pleasing to the eye.
The old lady's depressed mood, which had not been completely relieved in recent days, was immediately swept away.
The daughters-in-law were happy to see the old man, so they naturally joined in the fun.
Nanny Ying asked the two maids she brought to play palace music, and the Xie family sisters began to dance to the rhythm.
The Eight-Yuan Dance is actually not a traditional folk dance. For Xie Songhua, it is actually more like a kind of gymnastics.
Every movement contains strength and even a bit of strength.
This represents the solemnity and solemnity of etiquette, which is more friendly to Xie Songhua, who has no dance background, and can achieve results with his own efforts.
On weekdays, she performed best in Grandma Ying's class, so in today's dance, she stood in the most important position. In fact, it should be said that she was the easiest place to see the host and guests.
Because the Eight-Yuan Dance was actually arranged in a matrix, Grandma Ying also asked a maid to take the place vacated by the seven sisters of the Xie family.
Among the three sisters-in-law of the Xie family, the third wife is the most knowledgeable person about this kind of thing. At this time, she and the old lady were talking about this dance.
Mrs. Yu couldn't help but sigh: "How can we not say that we are born by blood? It seems that although our four girls grew up in the countryside, your dancing... it is really hard to find faults. Those few
My sisters are outshone by her."
After saying that, he said embarrassedly: "After all, my Sihua is following me in there, just to make up for it."
Mrs. Qi smiled and said: "How can you say that? Qi Yatou has only learned for one day, and it is already very good to be able to dance like this."
An's strange voice came at the right time, "Didn't our third girl also study for a day? How come she is so proficient? Is it possible that the third girl is secretly making up lessons?"
As soon as these words came out, even the old lady noticed something was wrong.
Qi's face suddenly became hard to look at.
Originally, Xie Shuhua was able to perform well today based on her practice some time ago. With Xie Sihua on the side to compare, and Xie Li, who was dull-witted, she deserved some praise no matter what.
What's more, this is the Eight-Yuan Dance that expresses court rituals and music. Isn't it a good way to lead the topic to Xie Shuhua's fate?
This Mrs. An chose to interrupt randomly at this moment. Not only did she fail to highlight Xie Shuhua, but she also easily caused others to follow her train of thought, making her suspect that Xie Shuhua was secretly making up lessons.
Her mind was racing, and just when she was about to speak, she heard a sudden scream from Xie Shuhua on the other end.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone stopped immediately, and everyone's eyes instantly looked over.
Xie Songhua only saw Xie Shuhua falling to the ground, holding the wrist of his left hand tightly with his right hand, gritting his teeth and trembling.
"Ah! There are scorpions!"
Xie Sihua, who was standing next to Xie Shuhua, suddenly screamed. Only then did everyone realize that a strangely colorful scorpion was next to Xie Shuhua.
"Hurry up and kill it!"
As soon as the old lady gave the order, a brave woman stepped forward, picked up a stool nearby and beat the scorpion to death with quick eyes and hands.
This scorpion is not big, but its color is a strange cyan color, and it also shines with a faint colorful light. Just by looking at it, you know that this thing is probably not simple.
Mrs. Qi immediately rushed forward to protect Xie Shuhua, "Shu'er! How are you?"
Seeing that the scorpion had been beaten to death, several girls dared to go forward to see Xie Shuhua.
Xie Songhua was the first to rush over, only to see that Xie Shuhua's face was a little pale, with cold sweat on his face, and he looked very painful.
The strangest thing was that the back of her left hand was swollen and purple.
"Don't move her!"
When Xie Songhua saw Mrs. Qi asking for a doctor and helping Xie Shuhua up, she quickly shouted.
Everyone was busy, even the old lady was a little surprised, and they all looked towards her.
"I'm afraid this is no ordinary scorpion. It seems to be very venomous. Judging from this reaction, it may not even wait for the doctor to come over."
Hearing Xie Songhua's words, Mrs. Qi turned pale with fright, "What?! Don't talk nonsense!"
Xie Songhua quickly pushed the person who sent it back, with an extremely serious expression on his face, "It's now time. Madam, if you believe me, you have a better chance of winning than if you don't believe me. If it's okay, what's the harm in moving later?"
As she spoke, she began to pick up Xie Shuhua's bitten hand. In just a short time, her index finger, which was originally as slender as an onion, became swollen, not to mention the back of the bitten hand.
"Do you have a knife?" When others tried to stop her, Xie Songhua immediately asked coldly.
A little maid over there answered subconsciously, "Yes!"
"Light another lamp."
Seeing the serious look on her face, Mrs. Qi subconsciously retracted her rejection just now, and there was even a bit of hope in her eyes.
"Delay some time!" Xie Songhua took off the hair tie on her head and quickly tied it tightly on Xie Shuhua's arm.
The knife and lamp were quickly delivered. Xie Songhua grilled the knife on the lamp, and then told Xie Li and Qi on the side, "Hold her down!"
"What are you going to do?!" Xie Shuhua immediately wanted to pull her hand back and looked at Xie Songhua with horror on her face, "You... don't come here!"
Seeing how scared she was, Mrs. Qi also hesitated. Xie Shuhua immediately got into Mrs. Qi's arms, her little face full of fear and grievance, "Mother, don't, I don't want, mother, I'm afraid, I'm afraid."
mother!"
When Mrs. Qi saw the bright knife in Xie Songhua's hand, she was also a little frightened. She couldn't help but frown and said, "What on earth are you going to do?"
"Anyway, it won't harm her!" Xie Songhua had no patience, "It's best to hurry up. No one knows the origin of this scorpion. If it is a poison specially fed by others, if we delay any longer, we may be dead."
Xie Shuhua's eyes flashed with impatience, and she stopped pretending and said immediately: "I don't believe you! Mother, send me back quickly! Someone here wants to harm me!"
