Fu Xie was busy with his thoughts and turned to look at Lan Ning's seat. He didn't know when Lan Ning had quietly left the table. He was worried, don't leave, I won't find you again.
I wanted to leave, but I was surrounded by a group of people and couldn't escape.
The idiom "It's hard to reject hospitality" is the best interpretation at this moment.
"Li Shaodian."
"My dear Mr. Li..."
Seeing that Xie Fu finally spilled the beans, everyone burst into laughter. Xie Fu is Li Shaodian. Whether you admit it or not, you are still Li Shaodian.
Seeing this situation, Chen Qinglan was afraid that Xie Fu would not be able to leave tonight, and that he would be pinned down in this hall for...see you.
Chen Qinglan stepped forward to rescue Xie Fu.
Xie Fu was already sweating profusely. Although the situation was better, there was no way to escape.
Chen Qinglan whispered: "Pretend to be drunk."
Xie Fu immediately pretended to be drunk and was too drunk.
He did drink a lot tonight, but he wasn't drunk enough.
Chen Qinglan asked the maid to help Xie Fu go down to rest, and stayed here to comfort everyone.
In fact, if the words "Li Shaodian" hadn't come out, it would have been almost the end of the reception.
Chen Qinglan persuaded me nicely and promised again and again that we would meet again at the cocktail party tomorrow night.
Then one after another he persuaded the guests at the reception to leave.
Xie Fu was helped back to the wing to rest by his maid, and after a while he walked out again, and happened to meet Chen Qinglan who was returning.
Chen Qinglan, however, left the matter of sending the guests away to Qin's servants and rushed over.
"Master Li, if you don't have a good rest in your room, where are you going?"
"Chen Douzhi, I would like to thank you, Fu, and I will replace it as it is."
Chen Qinglan smiled, but did not ask further questions. The matter was already very clear. She smiled and said: "I helped you out, how can you thank me."
Xie Fu said: "Chen Zhidu, please tell me." He was in a hurry to find Lan Ning and had no time to hang around with Chen Qinglan.
Chen Qinglan said: "I have made a promise to them, so I will treat you to a favor next time."
"Easy to say."
Xie Fu responded and asked: "Chen Douzhi, can Madam Lan Ning leave already?"
"Only the beautiful Gusu can seduce this romantic and eccentric person."
Chen Qinglan said with a smile: "Come with me, I'm afraid Mrs. Lan Ning won't want to say goodbye."
Xie Fu thought that Chen Qinglan was going to lure him to have a private meeting with Lan Ning, so he said, "Thank you very much."
When we arrived at a spacious inner room, there were many people sitting around a large oval table.
After a rough scan, there were actually seven or eight people, including Yi Hang, Zhang Lingluo, Lady Mudan, Qinglian, and Lan Ning, whom he had eagerly met. He was so happy that he could just be on the boat.
Zhu Changzhao looked at Master Xie and said with a smile: "I originally thought that the most popular person tonight would be Lady Qinglian, but unexpectedly, Lady Lanning, who rarely shows up, actually appeared at the reception. The last thing I didn't expect was that Master Xie was the finale."
Chen Qinglan introduced: "This is Lord Sima, Lord Zhu."
Thank you Fu for your courtesy: "Thank you for being a late student and meeting Master Zhu."
Zhu Changzhao laughed loudly and said meaningfully: "Famous is not as good as meeting." In fact, compared to Li Shaodian's identity, he valued Li Shaodian's identity as a literary genius more.
No matter how legendary Li Shaodian is, he is just a popular and romantic talent, but Xie Fu is destined to be a real person with great achievements in the future.
In the Daguan Kingdom, one must first enter Confucianism to become an official, and since he was at least semi-Xuanzong, even the imperial court was jealous of him.
The imperial court's competition for talents has always been limited to the Nine Surnames and Thirteen Hopes. What the imperial court can give, the Nine Surnames and Thirteen Hopes can give more. If you want to become an official, it is not difficult to find an official position through connections.
To put it bluntly, these nine surnames and thirteen princes are all local emperors, and the places they belong to affect all aspects of people's livelihood.
Of course, the Qin family of the Emperor has been working hard for more than a hundred years, but these big trees that have been rooted in China for hundreds of years are not so easy to shake.
It is said that pulling a thread affects the whole body. If you move one family, the other twelve families will react immediately.
On the surface, those who are more loyal to the Qin family belong to the Longxi Bazhu Kingdom. Of course, there is no guarantee that the Bazhu Kingdom has no different intentions in private.
This pattern is similar to the tribal alliance co-governance of the ancient Xiongnu, and it is relatively unified in the overall situation.
The country is at home, and the nine surnames and thirteen hopes are named as retainers. The reality of maintaining the peace of the country is that the retainers are rather arrogant, and the Qin family of the emperor can't tolerate it, but they have to tolerate it.
And the complete concentration of imperial power may not be a good thing. Even if there are no Nine Surnames and Thirteen Hopes, it is destined to evolve into a new power minister. It is better to check each other and maintain a balance like now.
Chen Qinglan introduced Yuan Yue to Xie Fu.
Xie Fu bowed his hands in greeting.
Chen Qinglan smiled and said: "Mr. Xie, you should know all the others."
After the introduction, it was unexpected that Qinglian was the first to respond enthusiastically, "Dai, sit over here."
The other people's eyes immediately fell on Qinglian. Qinglian got the wrong idea and hurriedly said: "I and Mr. Xie know each other, or he taught me the song "Three Kowtows with Flowers and Candles in the Bridal Room". This is a tune, but I don't know
He is Li Shaodian."
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly realized that this song was also composed by him.
This seems reasonable and reasonable, and there is nothing overly surprising.
Xie Fu saw that there was an empty seat next to Qinglian, and next to him was Lan Ning, so he responded: "Okay."
Just as Xie Fu was about to walk over, Qinglian said weakly: "Mr. Xie, you'd better sit somewhere else, here with me..." Qinglian couldn't explain why.
This was a bit embarrassing. Xie Fu seemed to feel that it was related to Lan Ning, and thought to himself, Lan Ning, are you still angry with me?
Yi Hang smiled and said: "Ms. Qinglian is shy. Brother Xie, I have a place here, come."
When Chen Qinglan saw that the rightful owner had arrived and everyone was gathered, he smiled and said: "Seeing that everyone is still drunk, I have two jars of fine wine, why don't you continue?"
Yi Hang smiled and said: "Really good wine? If it's not good enough, Chen Duzhi will have to admit his punishment."
Chen Qinglan smiled and said: "If it's not good enough, Qinglan is willing to be punished."
Yi Hang took over and said: "You have to agree on the punishment first, otherwise Chen will know that he is cheating."
Chen Qinglan smiled softly and said: "Mr. Yi, what kind of punishment do you want?"
Yi Hang said with a smile: "If the wine is not good enough, Chen Douzhi will be punished by calling Brother Xie and me to kiss him."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Why are they called two people? One female maid serves two husbands, it has a strong sense of teasing.
Chen Qinglan smiled but didn't answer, but she was used to Yi Hang's style.
Yi Hang turned around and asked Fu Xie: "Brother Xie, what do you think?"
Xie Fu focused on Lan Ning and responded casually: "Okay."
Lan Ning glared at Xie Fu with murderous eyes. Xie Fu was stunned by the glare and hurriedly said: "I'll forget it, just call Brother Yi."
Yi Hang said displeased: "No! How can I enjoy such a good thing to myself!"
Chen Qinglan said boldly: "Okay, if the wine is not good enough, I will!"
The maid brought two jars of wine. The seals had not yet been opened. Chen Qinglan opened the jars in person. The aroma of the wine immediately escaped from the jars. Yi Hang, an alcoholic, smelled the aroma, licked his lower lips, and said with a smile: "This sentence may be necessary to kiss your husband." Sneaked away."
Chen Qinglan poured the wine into the jug and poured wine for Xie and Fu first, "You two gentlemen, please taste the wine to see if it is good, so as not to say that Qinglan deceived you."
After Xie Fu and Yi Hang finished tasting, they looked at each other and said in unison: "Good wine!"
Yi Hang sighed at the same time.
When Lady Peony saw her, she covered her mouth and smiled secretly. She wanted Chen Douzhi to call her husband, how could it be so easy?
As the host, Chen Qinglan was very gracious and poured wine for each guest personally. Everyone praised the wine after drinking it.
Chen Qinglan then introduced: "This is Wuxi Huiquan wine that has been treasured for twenty years. If I hadn't been forced by Mr. Xie and Mr. Yi, I would have been reluctant to take it out."
Zhu Changzhao smiled and said: "In this way, it is the credit of the two young masters that I can taste the fine wine from Chen Douzhi's collection."
As an elder, he was always a bit out of place mixing in with young people at the drinking table. If Lan Ning and Xie Fu were not present, he would have left the table long ago.
Chen Qinglan said and asked the maid to bring the order. She took out a order at random, but it was Feihua Ling. She looked around and asked, "What word do you use for the order?"
When no one responded, Chen Qinglan turned her eyes to Zhu Changzhao.
Zhu Changzhao also did his part and said with a smile: "When the flowers are beautiful and the moon is full, I will use the word "moon" as my order."
Seeing that no one had any objections, Chen Qinglan smiled and said, "Sir Ma, you will go first."
Zhu Changzhao blurted out: "The moon is setting, the crows are crying, and the sky is filled with frost." He looked at Lan Ning as he spoke.
As a courtesan, Lan Ning couldn't be bothered by this drinking order, so she blurted out: "This month once illuminated the ancients."
Next to Lan Ning was Yuan Yue. As one of the six young masters, Yuan Yue could not be without talent and learning. He immediately responded: "The moon on the river is bright and Hu Yan is passing by."
Next is Chen Qinglan, and she can’t help but say, “The bright moon on the sea rises with the tide.”
…
Everyone here is a master. After three rounds, no one was punished except Qinglian, who was fined a drink. This drinking order is too simple for everyone here. I am afraid that after ten rounds and eight rounds, the wine will still be intact. Chen Qinglan He took the initiative and said: "Exchange orders."
Yi Hang laughed and said: "It's too troublesome to switch back and forth, just make it more difficult."
Chen Qinglan looked towards Yi Hang, "Master Yi, what suggestions do you have?"
Yi Hang said: "The first thing is to compose your own poem, and the second thing is to use the same rhyme and rhythm as the first verse."
Chen Qinglan said cheerfully: "Okay, let's make it a little more difficult. Mr. Yi, let you do it first."
Yi Hang said: "Wait a minute, I'll be punished with seven cups at a time, and I'll have to dance a song to entertain you." However, seeing that Fu Xie was so reserved, he drank Fu Xie away first.
Chen Qinglan asked: "If Mr. Yi is punished, will Mr. Yi also have to dance a song?"
Yi Hang laughed loudly: "Then I can only admit defeat."
Chen Qinglan looked at Xie and Yi. They seemed not afraid of making a fool of themselves, but Lord Sima and Prince Yuan posed a problem for her.
Zhu Changzhao saw Chen Qinglan looking at him and knew that he was asking for his opinion, so he smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, if you punish me, I will do a sword dance for everyone."
Only then did everyone notice that Master Sima wore a sword hanging from his waist. Daguan country is a martial arts country, and most wealthy nobles wear swords.
Chen Qinglan smiled and said: "It seems that everyone has no objections. Then Mr. Yi, let's start."
But Yi Hang said: "Brother Xie, please invite me first."
Xie Fu blurted out: "The setting moon reflects the clear waves among the pines."
The word Qinglan was clearly intentional, and Chen Qinglan smiled.
