The Tang Dynasty established many music and dance institutions - Jiaofang, Liyuan, and Taichang Temple, which specializes in cultivating singing and dancing artists to perform for princes and nobles. This trend also brought about a wave of trends when spread among the people. Artists were singing and dancing in the squares, streets, and restaurants, and the scale was even more grand during the festival.

Dance troupes from all over the Chinese New Year will come to Chang'an City. Therefore, not only the lanterns are outstanding during the festival, but the singing and dancing performances under the stage are even more dazzling.

Even after that, many dance troupes will stay for a while and take on invitations from merchants to continue performing.

The next day, A Niu hurriedly inquired about many places before he found out that the Happy Dance Troupe was performing in Jinggongfang, where people who believed in Zoroastrianism gathered there.

There are countless Hu Shang in Chang'an City. Although some of them are basically settled here, Fanfang was established in various parts of the Tang Dynasty to create a living environment they are used to, and avoid some homesickness.

However, it is not suitable for drinking, dancing, noisy and noisy in broad daylight. The Happy Dance Troupe did not perform at this time, but A Niu asked about the address from the waiter in the restaurant.

The Happy Dance Troupe seemed to be going out to exhibit in Chang'an City, so he temporarily rented a house.

When A Niu found the place, only a woman in her forties swept the floor at the door. He stepped forward and bowed and asked, "Aunt, does the Happy Dance Troupe live here?"

The woman stopped her work and smiled and said, "Oh, Chang'an City is really different. We have only been here for a few days, and a business comes to us. I wonder if the young master wants to hold a banquet at his own house or to attract business for the shop? What kind of dance is needed to cheer up. Our Happy Dance Group not only knows the dance of the Tang Dynasty, but also has Persian, Dashi, and Western Regions dancers... "

"No...No..." A Niu saw the woman talking quickly, and finally found some gaps. "I'm here to find someone."

"Look for someone?" The woman smiled even happier, "Oh~ Young Master is interested in which girl from our dance troupe."

A Niu changed into a plain round necklace today, which was quite old and washed a little white. However, his popularity in his clothes was extraordinary and his appearance was not limited by clothing.

The woman's words made A Niu's fair face turn slightly red: "Not... that's not the case... I'm here to find Miss Rose."

"Ah, are you looking for Xiao Qiangwei?" The woman was startled at first, and then suddenly realized, "Oh~~ You are the one who accompanied her to guess the riddle last night."

"Yes."

"Come in, come in, I'll take you to find her."

"This... can you please call Miss Rose out? I just want to say a few words to her?"

A Niu went back last night and tossed and turned all night, feeling that he needed to explain it to Qiangwei clearly... Last night, he saw the face of the flower girl hiding in the black veil, with her facial features, thin eyebrows and big eyes, but... they were all scars.

The scar seems to be caused by scalding. The smaller ones look like tiny petals scattered on the face, the larger ones... On the girl's right cheek, there are large areas of skin entangled together, like roses in bud...

Only then did he realize that the girl’s call rose is not the flower language behind it.

"Oh, that's not OK. Xiao Qiangwei ran out secretly last night and was being punished by the leader to practice martial arts today to prepare for the evening performance."

"Then... let's go with Ah Gu."

The house rented by the Happy Dance Group is quite large and the environment is pretty good. It is just a little dilapidated. The outer skin of the courtyard wall is falling off and the iron rings on the door are rusted.

After entering the door, large areas of pine, bamboo, rattan and other plants were reflected in their eyes, and there were also many beakers and swallows.

They were all practicing in the yard in various dance costumes. When they saw a woman leading a man in, they stopped moving and gathered together, chattering about the beautiful young man.

Aniu's ears were floating from time to time, all about his relationship with Qiangwei. His handsome face suddenly turned red. He quickly lowered his head and stared at the woman's heels.

"What are you looking at! Why don't you go back and practice qigong quickly? Who has a problem tonight? Be careful I'm not polite!"

After the two of them turned around the corridor, the shouting came from the green plants in the yard, and a beautiful woman was sitting in the pavilion behind the green plants.

She looked about thirties, and she still maintained a delicate figure under her plain clothes. Her eyes looked through the vines like curtains, and she looked at the place where A Niu disappeared. There was a little sorrow in her eyebrows and eyes that had not dissipated for a long time.

"oops!"

There was another chattering, and the young girls quickly dispersed, seemingly in a mess, but some beautiful scenes flashed briefly. Although these dancers were young, their random movements could tell people that they had worked hard for years.

The woman led A Niu to the front of the worn red door: "I'm here, Xiao Qiangwei is inside, I won't go in with you."

A Niu saluted and said, "Thank you, A Gu."

The woman replied with a greeting and turned around and left.

A Niu stood in front of the door, reorganized everything he wanted to say, and then took a deep breath. After a long time, he pressed his hand on the door. However, he had a large area of ​​red paint on the door, and the door was still not pushed open.

"ah!"

Bang!

A Niu heard the girl exclaim and pushed the door open.

At this moment, Qiangwei fell to the ground, rubbing her calves, and there were several broken bowls next to her.

"Miss Rose, are you okay?!" Seeing this, A Niu rushed over quickly and squatted down to help the girl up.

"Don't touch me!" As soon as A Niu stretched out his hand, Qiangwei quickly slapped it.

A Niu stood up, took two steps in a row, and looked lonely: "Miss Rose, I'm here to apologize."

"Apology? Why do you want to apologize?" Qiangwei raised her head, but grinned in pain, "I've got cramps, come and rub my calf."

"This..." A Niu didn't understand what Rose means, so hesitated.

"Aniu, you are so stupid. When you cramp, your flesh is twisted into a ball, which hurts so much. If your heels are struggling, it will hurt even more."

"oh……"

A Niu squatted beside Rose, but his heart was so confused that he didn't have much strength in his hands, so he lowered his head and said nothing.

Qiangwei said angrily: "Aniu, you have a niu in your name, why are you so weak?"

A Niu came to his senses and lowered his head and said, "I still practice martial arts. I am afraid that if I use my strength, I will hurt the girl again..."

Qiangwei suddenly grabbed Aniu's clothes: "Ah, you know martial arts? Who did you learn it from?"

"Family inheritance..." A Niu still lowered his head, and it took a long time to see two words.

The founding of the Tang Dynasty has only been more than a hundred years, but there has been a lot of turmoil in the court. Some people have stood in the wrong team and not only died, but also implicated everyone in the family. The same is true for offspring who were born decades after his death.

Aniu's ancestor followed the wise king Li Shimin and became successful, but then began to decline during the Wuzhou period.

Now, the mission of revitalizing the glory of the family has fallen on him.

"Wow wow wow wow!" Qiangwei shook A Niu happily, "I thought the sword you brought was just pretending, but I didn't expect that I still have real skills!"

"This sword was given to my ancestors by the former emperor Li Shimin, and its name is Hanshuang."

"But it's a bit short."

"Although the sword is not long, it is in line with the characteristics of my family's martial arts, so..."

Snap...

The sound of the tearing of cloth ruined the atmosphere of the two of them as they were about to rise.

The old clothes on A Niu couldn't withstand the tossing of roses, and a long hole broke from the connection between his shoulders...
