Chapter 30 Partridges fly into spring sleeves
The next day, Bai Yuan followed his usual plan, refining alchemy in the morning and sword practice in the afternoon.
Finally, I washed myself, changed into clean clothes, and prepared to go to Lord Xinling's mansion with Wuming for a banquet.
At this time, there was already a carriage waiting in front of Xuanxin Pavilion. It was sent by Lord Xinling to take them to the mansion.
Behind the carriage was a group of Wei soldiers, led by the strong man who sent the invitation to Bai Yuan and the others yesterday.
Seeing Bai Yuan and Wuming coming out, the strong man showed a silly smile: "Two gentlemen, please get in the car quickly!"
The two got on the carriage and sat inside. Bai Yuan couldn't help but sigh.
"This carriage is nice, spacious and comfortable, and it doesn't seem to be very bumpy."
He looked here and touched there, his eyes burning.
This carriage is much better than the one they destroyed before. It would be great if they could get it.
Before seeing Lord Xinling, Bai Yuan was already thinking about getting into his carriage.
When Wuming heard Bai Yuan's words and understood his thoughts, he couldn't help but smile.
Bai Yuan's interest came and went quickly. After calming down, he began to look forward to what it would be like to meet Lord Xinling Wei Wuji.
The story about him has spread throughout the seven countries, and may even be remembered throughout the ages.
Later generations will call him the Four Young Masters of the Warring States Period together with Chunshen Lord Huang Xie, Mengchang Lord Tianwen, and Pingyuan Lord Zhao Sheng, and Wei Wuji is the first of the Four Warring States Young Masters.
He stole the talisman to save Zhao, defeated the Qin army, and jointly attacked Qin, shocking the world.
For such a legendary figure, I heard that he is now addicted to wine and sex all day long. I have to say that this kind of life is too corrupt!
However, Bai Yuan vaguely remembered that Lord Xinling seemed to have died in an assassination attempt, which was a pity.
Although he had obviously ignored state affairs and was relieved of military power by the King of Wei, he still could not escape the fate of being assassinated.
Now I don’t know how long Lord Xinling can live.
At this time, the carriage slowly stopped, and the strong man outside said angrily: "Sir, we have arrived!"
Hearing this voice, Bai Yuan quickly shook off the thoughts in his head and went to someone's home to be a guest. He actually thought about when the person would be gone. That was too rude.
As long as he doesn't die today, it has nothing to do with them.
After having a meal tonight and catching a carriage, they will leave the city tomorrow!
When the two got off the carriage, they saw a group of people standing in front of the gate of Lord Xinling's Mansion.
The leader is a thin middle-aged man wearing a long turquoise coat and a jade crown. This man is obviously Wei Wuji.
There was a hint of elegance like a scholar in his brows, but Bai Yuan knew that Wei Wuji had served as a general of Wei State, led the five-nation coalition to attack Qin, and went to the battlefield, so he also had the resolute temperament of a soldier.
Just from this aspect, Bai Yuan realized that this person was extraordinary.
You are truly worthy of being Lord Xinling!
When Wei Wuji saw the two of them getting out of the car, he took the initiative to talk.
"The two gentlemen are finally here!"
"Tianzong Baiyuan (unnamed by Confucianism) has met Lord Xinling!"
Bai Yuan and Wuming bowed to him.
"Gentlemen, there is no need to be so polite. Let's go in first and talk later!"
Lord Xinling made an invitation gesture and invited Bai Yuan and Wuming to enter the mansion.
Arriving at the banquet hall, everyone took their seats in order.
Bai Yuan and Wuming were sitting on Wei Wuji's left hand side, closest to the main seat.
After everyone took their seats, Lord Xinling clapped his hands.
Then a group of maids came in carrying some exquisite dishes and served them to everyone.
"This is the sea fish just shipped from Qi State. It has been stewed and tastes very fresh. Please try it."
Lord Xinling took the initiative to introduce them to them while the maid was serving food.
Bai Yuan picked up the chopsticks and put a small piece of white and tender fish into his mouth. The fish almost melted in his mouth.
The taste is indeed extremely delicious.
It is a long journey to transport marine fish from Qi to Daliang. With the traffic speed of this era, it is generally very difficult to ensure the freshness of marine fish.
Therefore, the cost of this fish is probably not low, and only wealthy nobles like Lord Xinling in Wei can afford it!
This meal was not in vain!
"It's delicious, extremely fresh and tender, and melts in your mouth. It's the best."
Bai Yuan smiled and gave his evaluation.
"Just like it."
When Wei Wuji heard this, he nodded.
Next, in addition to the delicious sea fish, many dishes were served that Baiyuan had never tasted but had only heard of, some of which were not even available outside.
Besides the dishes, how could there be no wine at the banquet?
Bai Yuan and Wuming have a maid who pours wine for them.
This wine is made from grapes and is amber in color. The color is very beautiful and the rich aroma is refreshing.
As guests, Bai Yuan and Wuming were the first to toast Wei Wuji.
"Today, I am favored by the young master and specially invited the two of us to a banquet. I am very grateful. I would like to offer this cup to the young master!"
"Hahaha, I am also happy that you two gentlemen can come!"
Wei Wuji responded to them with a smile.
The three of them drank the wine in one gulp. The alcohol content of the wine was not high, and Bai Yuan didn't feel anything at all after drinking it.
"Just drinking and eating food is too boring."
After a few glasses of wine, Wei Wuji felt that he was not enjoying himself enough and clapped his hands.
"Where are the dancers from Baihua Pavilion? They all come up to help everyone!"
At this moment, all the elegant temperament in Wei Wuji disappeared, revealing the appearance of a playboy addicted to wine and sex.
Following his order, a group of women in red dance skirts walked in. They stared at the ground and bowed slightly to Lord Xinling.
The faces of these people are all covered with gauze scarves, which makes them even more attractive.
They wore short-sleeved navel-baring tops on their upper bodies, and the skirts on their lower bodies reached to their knees, revealing a calf that looked like a white lotus root.
The fair and delicate skin looks even more white, tender and dazzling against the red dance skirt, like a piece of warm jade.
Bai Yuan had never seen such a scene before, so he couldn't help but glance twice.
Even through the thin gauze scarf, he could see that the looks of these women were first-rate.
Although it can't be said that the fish is sinking and the goose is falling, and the moon is shy of the flower, it can also be said to be charming.
As the music plays, these women perform movements and dance gracefully. As professional dancers, in addition to their good looks and figures, they also have strong dancing skills.
They danced lightly in the field, and their graceful waists were extremely gentle.
Beautiful and moving, but he could not feel the urge to blaspheme.
At this moment, Bai Yuan couldn't help but think of a sentence: "The drums and drums are urged to visit Liangzhou, and the partridges fly up the spring sleeves."
Watching the dance in the field, he didn't even want to miss a single move.
At first, he only thought that the so-called dancing girl to entertain while drinking was just something caused by the corruption of these nobles.
But now he has to admit that he has little knowledge. This is an art, a culture that can be passed down for thousands of years.
How can we say that aristocrats are corrupt when it comes to art?
