Chapter 57: Good and Evil (II)
Lu You clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Well said, well said. Ladies and gentlemen, when you stepped into the Pillow Cloud Tower just now, did you see the dance that is rarely seen in your life?"
Xin Qiji said: "Yes, I saw it. This dance is really only in heaven. How many times can you see it in the world?"
"Where is that beauty?" Lu You smiled slyly.
The four people pointed at Yunniang and said in unison: "Far away in the horizon, close at hand."
Although Yunniang had guessed that they were going to talk about her, her cheeks flushed and she waved her hands and said: "Gentlemen, you are too kind."
Jiang Kui's face was stern: "Yunniang, we can't bear to be hypocritical. I know the Pillow Cloud Tower inside and out. If it weren't for your peerless dancing, how could I be willing to give you "Rainbow Skirt Feathered Coat". Zhong Ziqi died, Yu Boya was sad and smashed his zither. The broken jade zither was cold, who would play it for when Ziqi was gone! Friends are all full of spring breeze, and it is difficult to find a soulmate. If we didn't regard you as a soulmate, we wouldn't invite secular women."
Yunniang smiled and said: "After what Mr. Jing said, if I refuse again, it would be hypocritical."
Jiang Kui said: "That's right, come, come, come..."
Yunniang went to the kitchen to take out a pair of bowls and chopsticks and sat down.
Xin Qiji said to Yunniang with some regret: "Yunniang, we are discussing state affairs at today's banquet. Although it is forbidden and useless to discuss, we still have to discuss it. There will be more troublesome things, and there may be fewer leisurely and elegant things such as romance. Please forgive me for neglecting you."
Yunniang said: "Sir, you underestimated me. We in Zhenyun Tower are not the superficial people who 'take Hangzhou for Bianzhou'. If we were born a few decades earlier, we sisters would hope to be like Liang Hongyu and be good soldiers for our army. They beat drums to cheer and snipe Wanyan Zongbi on the Yangtze River.
