97. Chapter 97 Meeting an old friend: trembling and thrilling
As soon as she finished speaking, stout women had already carried a dozen fragrant mahogany tables and placed them in front of everyone. There were all cups, plates and dishes on the table, and the tall bowls were filled with new oranges, water chestnuts, and wind.
Chestnuts and other omnivorous fruits are also included in the box. There is also a set of silver-gilt eating utensils including a hammer, forger, tongs, shovel, spoon, fork, scraper and needle in the box, which are commonly known as the eight pieces of crabs.
When the young women filed out of the door, another group of little girls came up to the hall with food boxes. They walked to each person and stood next to them. They all opened the lids of the boxes and saw a pair of fully-fledged crabs lying on the bed.
On the white plate, it is golden and plump, with a faint fragrance of chrysanthemums.
It turned out that the raw crabs used for this dinner had been soaked in light wine, ginger and green onion juice, salt and pepper and mashed chrysanthemum leaf juice all night before being served on the table.
After being steamed over high heat, ginger, perilla, cinnamon and other seasonings were also added to the water. By the time it was served, the fishy smell was gone and the floral smell was quiet.
The girls placed the porcelain plates in their hands on the table and poured hot jade pot ice wine into the cups.
Rou Jia had just had a few drinks with the others. She was slightly tipsy at this time. When she was about to pick up the glass, Xilingu reached out to stop her and advised: "Drink less. Eat something first."
, this wine has a lot of staying power.”
Roujia was grateful to him in her heart, so she smiled faintly, took out her silk scarf and gently pressed the sweat stains on her face, and replied: "Yes, thank you Mr. Xiling."
Xilingyi didn't take it seriously and just said: "Why should we be separated between you and me?"
Roujia had some unspeakable meaning when she heard the words. What should be between her and Xilingzu? Turning her eyes, she heard the sound of the flute behind the curtain rising again, and it was even more joined by the flute and pipa. The human voice also became louder.
Bright and exciting, singing one
The branch ministers and the singing tunes are called "Duijiuyin": "When singing the jade wine, I sit and drink the golden dragonfly. The bamboo leaves are clear and the grapes are full of flavors. The wind brings in the orchid air, and the moon comes with the fragrance of cinnamon. It is unique to Liu Jiang.
Ruan, forget your feelings and send me a feather cup."
The song was like a command, and everyone sang in unison, sang the song again, and finally drank from the cup.
After the singing stopped, Prince Regent Xiao Jinyan took the lead and cut off a crab leg with silver tongs. The guests followed suit and even raised their chopsticks with their fingers. For a time, the whole hall was filled with cups and cups, and people were drinking and drinking.
So unhappy.
In this way, after three rounds of drinking, everyone in the palace looked lazy. They performed a set of dance music and raised their glasses over and over again. After one song was played, another song was played, and the dancing queen came and went, and the flying and rotating beautiful embroidered flowers...
The train gently brushed the red carpet, and the magnificent palace seemed to be filled with gorgeous flowers.
It's just that Roujia felt very sad. She didn't dare to look at the person above her. She also couldn't get used to the plump crab paste, so she tasted it for a few times and felt dizzy. She tried her best to calm down.
After that, he groaned lowly. Holding his head, Xilingu looked sideways and asked, "Are you drunk? I see your face is very red?"
Roujia nodded and said to him: "I'm sorry, Mr. Xiling, I'm a little too drunk and want to go back first."
After saying that, she tried her best to stand up. But she couldn't help but fell over to Xilingyi. She didn't know how her drinking capacity could be so bad. According to reports, she was drunk before
She was able to drink some wine when she was at Mingyue Tower, but today, how could her body be so heavy? It was as if she couldn't control it.
