Chapter 1606 Costume Dance
The Costume Festival is a very important local festival. When it comes to the banquet in the evening, there are many people coming, which can be said to be very grand. At this time, the woman in blue comes to ask for a dance, which arouses the excitement of the audience. The men suddenly exclaimed, and the girls also looked at him sideways.
This woman in blue is a well-known beauty in the town. She is the girl that many boys dream of. They only have to wait for her seventeenth-year-old coming-of-age ceremony to have the opportunity to officially date her. , but she didn’t expect that she would suddenly ask a stranger to dance at her fancy night party. How could she not make those who had been waiting to pursue her jealous?
Logically speaking, there is nothing surprising about this invitation to dance. According to local custom, all unmarried young men who come to the night banquet will be invited to dance. But usually speaking, these seventeen-year-old girls are the protagonists of night banquets and dances. Even if they want to ask for a dance, they only need to make an invitation gesture to the young guy from a distance. There is no need to go to the small table in person. Unless the other party has a distinguished status, such as a local royal family son, or a prince, to show respect, the girl will come forward to invite in person. Otherwise, even the children of ordinary high-ranking officials, or even the sons of clan leaders and town mayors, do not have to do this. . Because in their ethnic group, the status of the clan leader and the clan members are equal, and there is no distinction between high and low.
There is another situation, that is, the girl likes the boy, or the boy is more handsome, pretends to be pretentious, and is not willing to dance easily. The girl may come up to ask for the dance in person, but Moye will not When a child is asked to dance, it is neither of the above situations, or not entirely.
Bimoye didn't see the girl asking him to dance. Several girls had signaled from a distance before, but he was talking and amusing with Undine, and playing tricks with his companions. Although his eyes were watching the girls dance from time to time, But my mind was not on that, and I didn't notice it at all. However, if a girl asks for a dance and the boy doesn't come, the protagonists can ignore it and don't have to ask again and again, but... maybe it's because Moye has a good face that he works for the most beautiful girl. I came to invite him in person, so this attracted everyone's attention.
Bimoye was stunned now. He was used to the feeling of being noticed by everyone, but now he felt a little uncomfortable. He originally wanted to drink and eat at the night banquet in a low-key manner. Eat fruit preserves, learn about local customs, and watch special programs. It's just that he was born like a bright pearl, and it was impossible not to attract attention. He was made a little uncomfortable by this atmosphere. He should have been most accustomed to turning a blind eye and acting as if no one was around, but that was in the imperial capital, in Debiles. Now here, in front of these hospitable people, he couldn't show off that aloof attitude, and he couldn't show it off now.
He had no choice but to smile in response, waved his hand and said, "I can't dance."
The woman in blue also smiled back, turned around and went back without any embarrassment at all. . But this time Bimoye offended all the young men and women present. The most beautiful girl here asked you to dance with you, but you actually refused. What do you mean? The girls are thinking that we girls are the protagonists of this costume festival. In the past, as long as we made a slight gesture, the boys would immediately enter the dance floor. You would like to invite two, three, and four, but now the protagonists are coming in person. Please, do you really think that you can be willful just because you are handsome?
The more Bimoye looked, the more wrong the atmosphere became. The hatred in the eyes of the boys nearby and the boos in the girls' mouths made him feel like he had been pierced by a thousand thorns, like thorns in his back. Next to him, his two companions who came with him were enjoying his jokes, and he also realized that he, like these two people, was also a fool who made a mistake. But even if he changes his mind now, he can't just go dancing by himself. It would be so embarrassing if you have to go on like this if you don't go when someone invites you.
At this time, the woman in blue who was dancing in the dance hall looked back at him and smiled, and once again made a gesture of asking to dance. Bimoye quickly got off the slope and went to dance with him honestly.
The dancing movements of the backup dancer are very simple. Just follow the girl's side to the beat, do some kicks, jumps, spins, and clap your hands. It is similar to a form of celebration, even if it is completely People who have never danced can learn it instantly as long as they follow the girl's lead and follow her movements. Again, it doesn’t matter if your movements are not pretty or standard. Everyone is just celebrating and having fun. The girls are really affected, because they have to dance three main dances, which are the real dances, and the assistant dance is just a break in between. The girls relax a little and have to dance again later.
Bimoye arrived at the dance floor, stepping on the soft river sand and dancing with the woman in blue. At the same time, he said thank you to the girl, thanking her for relieving him from the awkward atmosphere just now.
The girl smiled and made a silent gesture. They were not allowed to talk casually during the dance.
The girls rang their handbells and sang cheerful songs, and the boys clapped their hands and sang along. Bimoye followed suit, and more and more people came to help with the dance. Until the dance is over, boys who are tired can leave on their own, but girls have to continue dancing. Bimoye had seen the woman in blue dancing for a while, but he didn't notice that she was tired. He thought to himself that the local folk dance was well-deserved, but he quickly took advantage of this opportunity to leave.
After leaving the dance group, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Well, after watching the show, he almost realized that something was wrong. He didn't know if those boys would come to trouble him after the banquet. Since he just left the dance group, those boys It can be seen from his eyes that he is really stupid and idiotic this time. But now I want to leave but I can't. For such an important festival, the people participating are on three levels inside and three outside. It is difficult to squeeze out of the crowd unless you fly away from the sky. But this will make it more eye-catching. At this time, with such a He didn't know what others would think if he walked in this way. Even if he didn't care what others thought, he still had to live in this town for two days. How could he stay there? In order to avoid causing more trouble and making bigger mistakes, he hesitated and decided to go back to his seat and sit down.
But just as he was sitting back, he accidentally saw a familiar person. This person was the person who blocked him at the door of the treasure house during the day. At this time, he was standing in the middle of the crowd. The first floor looked around, but because he was taller and the carpet in the back row was thicker, he was seen by Bimoye. He also noticed Bimoye's gaze and looked back. The two looked at each other. By this time, Bimoye had already walked back to his seat.
After the assistant dancers comes the main dancer. At this time, local young men will still dance alongside, but what they dance is a real dressage dance. When dancing in dressage, men and women must be in pairs and never alone. However, there is no physical contact between men and women during the dance, unless the boy gets the flower bell on the girl's wrist. This costumed dance is really beautiful, especially when the girls dance, it is pleasing to the eye. Even a high-ranking nobleman from the imperial capital like Bimoye is so beautiful when he sees such a dance, his heart is pounding. Although I saw a part of this kind of dance on a float during the day, it was just the foreplay, and now is the highlight.
During the dance, a boy indeed got the girl’s flower bell, and the crowd immediately burst into cheers and blessings. Getting the flower bell means that the boy can dance intimately with the girl, and it also means that they are interested in each other. Although it does not mean that they will get married in the end, it is a good start. However, according to local customs, most boys who get flower bells eventually get married to each other, and there are few cases of separation. Therefore, giving flower bells is a very solemn matter. Girls will not give it easily, and boys will not accept it easily, unless they are mutually affectionate. We all know that we have already fallen in love with each other before this, and this moment is a formal announcement.
After a costume dance, the boys each returned to their seats. At this time, the best wine was taken out. The girl on each festival held a silver plate in her hand, with several silver cups inlaid with gems, and poured it out. Have a glass of 'Flower Beauty and Grass Wine' and prepare to toast.
The two wine bugs have been so greedy that their saliva will fall out. They just hope that the wine will be delivered to them as soon as possible. Although they also like these beautiful girls, they know it well. These girls either have celebrities, or they don't like him at all, not to mention that it is unlikely that they will find someone here and plan to get married here.
Unfortunately, although the wine was put into the cup, it was not given to them. This first toast was to the elders and the elders of the clan to express respect. The second time is to offer wine, and give the wine to the young boy.
The girls toasted to the respected seniors one by one, and at the same time said some wishes, such as wishing longevity and saying honorifics. The old people will also give blessings to these young children, hoping that they will be happy after getting married in the future.
After the toast, the girls have to rest for a while, eat some drinks, replenish their strength and water, and then the second dressage dance will follow.
The second costumed dance is called the ‘Butterfly Dance’. As the name suggests, it means dancing with butterflies. The locals love flowers and plants, so butterflies are very sacred and respected to them. Before the 'Die Wu', they will first use something called a 'Gong Basket' to gather together. "Gonglan" is actually a flower cage that can attract butterflies to fly into it. However, the word "cage" means imprisonment, so it was renamed "Gonglan". When the 'Gong basket' is filled with butterflies, it will be released during the 'Butterfly Dance'. Because the girls are dressed in flower petals and drink very fragrant wine, they will attract butterflies to fly around them, so they are called the 'Butterfly Dance'. '.
During the 'Butterfly Dance', there is no need for boys to accompany the dancers. The girls dance among the butterflies, which is so spectacular and beautiful that people are so amazed that they can't even breathe. Such a scenery, such a situation, beautiful scenery, fine wine, beauties, and such a feast, how could it not be exciting?
During the night banquet, there was almost no sound, and even the most beautiful wine in the glass was forgotten to drink. Everyone was fascinated by all this, and all the men were elated. Bi Moye is a very calm person, but no matter how calm a person is, his heart will still be moved when he sees beautiful things. Beauty is beauty, and if something is considered beautiful by everyone, it will not be unbeautiful.
Especially in this graceful and fairy-like dance, the most eye-catching thing is the girl in blue. Among the dancers, she is dressed in blue petals that exude blue light under the moonlight. Surrounded by countless butterflies, it is like a dream, like a fairyland, unlike anything in the human world. At this time, all the men were drunk, not with wine, but with their hearts and minds. Now they only have one impulse in their hearts, thinking of rushing forward regardless of their own safety, in order to gain the favor of the beauty in front of them no matter what.
At this moment, after a crisp sound of flower bells, the dance sound stopped suddenly, and the second dance ended. The men present shuddered and came to their senses one by one, but their faces were flushed and their breathing was heavy. The alcohol is so stimulating that if it hadn't been for the ringing of the bell, I don't know what would have happened next.
It was better than Moye. Looking at the two people next to him, their eyes were already wide open, their lips were dry, and their breathing sounded like a cow, as if they were holding a long breath and just gasped out. Bimoye quickly drank a glass of cold wine to wake himself up. After taking a long breath, his expression returned to normal.
At this time, everyone present also knew that they had shown their ugly face, and they made fun of each other and laughed it off. In the past, although this 'butterfly dance' would leave people amazed and forgetful, it is the first time that it has reached this level today. The woman in blue is so beautiful, and she is the only one wearing it. Fluorescent blue, everyone is fascinated by her, even girls are equally envious.
