Following the direction of Uncle Fu's finger, Liu Ruyi saw a familiar figure next to the main table, holding a wine glass and chatting with Gou Haoshan, the prefect of Jinan, who was it not Mr. Jia?
"Brother, there is an elder in front of me. I'm going to pay a visit! Come and have a drink with me later!" Liu Ruyi whispered a few words to Liu Hanyi in a low voice, then picked up the wine glass and walked in the direction of Mr. Jia.
Liu Hanyi looked at Liu Ruyi's leaving figure, frowning slightly, thinking silently.
…………
"Who first sees the moon by the river, and when does the moon over the river shine on people for the first time? Life has been endless from generation to generation, but the moon over the river is only the same every year..."
At this time, the atmosphere in the hall gradually became lively with the soft and melodious singing of 'Chun Yunu', with a touch of charming and lazy singing.
The people who can come here are all dignitaries, gentry and powerful people. These people are all well-known people in Shandong. They usually have a lot of contacts. If they can get together at this time, they are just a few.
It is quite harmonious to go into a group and find a few friends to join the party, have a drink and chat about current affairs.
Even if there were some grievances in private, they just stayed away from each other and did not dare to cause trouble here. After all, those at the main table are big shots who can decide the life and death of others.
There are also some admirers of the 'Chun Yu Slave', who desperately want to gather near the high platform, hoping to get close contact with the beauty in their hearts. Even if they spend all their wealth to win the smile of the beauty, they will have no complaints.
No regrets!
Liu Ruyi even saw an old man who was over fifty years old and looked like a scholar, holding a handful of banknotes and waving them towards the 'Chun Jade Slave' on the high platform, just begging the beautiful woman to look at him more.
Although this made the atmosphere in the venue slightly chaotic, no one cared about it! Even Yan Jizu, the governor of Shandong Province, just smiled and said nothing when he saw this situation, and even looked forward to it.
Talented men and beautiful women have been eternal topics since ancient times.
In this era of Ming Dynasty, no matter you are a ten-year-old child or an old man in his seventies, as long as you are a scholar and have enough banknotes to support you, you can chase the beauty of your dreams to your heart's content!
Failed? It doesn’t matter, I just gained a reputation as a beautiful lady on my own!
Success? Congratulations, you will have another romantic story from now on!
On the other hand, if you are not a scholar, even if you are extremely wealthy and as wealthy as the country, you will still encounter strong resistance from this group!
Liu Ruyi ignored the chaotic crowd, just calmed down and walked quickly in the direction of Mr. Jia.
Mr. Jia is only a fifth-grade concubine. He is not qualified to sit at the main table. Instead, he sits on a small table nearby. However, he seems to be very active. He keeps getting up to drink and chat with the dignitaries next to him. He is quite versatile!
Liu Ruyi waited for nearly a quarter of an hour before Master Jia was free, and hurriedly came to him and said with a smile: "Shibo, my nephew gives you a drink!"
"Huh?" Mr. Jia was stunned for a moment, with a trace of astonishment flashing in his eyes. He seemed a little surprised as to why Liu Ruyi came back here. However, after all, he had matured and quickly put on a smile and raised his glass to face Liu Ruyi.
He gestured and said softly: "Good nephew? Why are you here just now? I have sent someone to wait for you at the door for a long time, but I have never found any trace of you!"
‘Humph! He is indeed an old fox! It’s so easy to use power to suppress others! If I hadn’t known better, I would have been sold by him and I would have counted the money for him!’
Liu Ruyi cursed a few words in her heart, but her face remained extremely respectful, "Uncle Shi, it's all my nephew's fault! I encountered some little trouble on the road, so I'm late, please forgive me, Uncle Shi!"
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter!" Mr. Jia waved his hand with a smile, glanced in the direction of the main table, and said casually: "My dear nephew, you can go back and wait. When Mr. Ni is free here, I will do it for you."
You recommend it! I have to serve a few adults for a banquet, so you go first!"
After he finished speaking, he waved impatiently to Liu Ruyi like he was swatting away flies. He picked up his wine glass and walked towards the main table calmly.
Liu Ruyi clenched her fists tightly, her face turned livid, and a violent rage in her heart instantly rushed to her forehead, 'This old thief is really abominable! Do you really think that you don't dare to take action?'
For a moment, reason overcame impulse. Liu Ruyi took a deep breath, put a smile on her face again, and walked slowly towards the way she came from, as if nothing had happened.
But what Liu Ruyi didn't notice was that as soon as he turned around, Mr. Jia changed his expression. His face was so gloomy that it was about to drip. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. He looked at Liu Ruyi's back and revealed a fierce expression.
sneer.
…………
"What? Brother, things are not going well?" Liu Hanyi asked softly as he watched Liu Ruyi drink three glasses of wine in succession.
"It's okay, big brother! It's just a small matter! Come on, let's have another drink together, brothers!" Liu Ruyi didn't want to reveal her thoughts to others, so she quickly changed the subject.
Liu Hanyi smiled and picked up the wine glass to drink with Liu Ruyi. She looked directly into Liu Ruyi's eyes and said slowly: "Brother, it seems you don't trust me as a brother?"
"Brother, why do you say this?" Liu Ruyi was stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "There is just an old thief who took the money and didn't want to do anything for my brother!"
"Haha!" Liu Hanyi burst into laughter. For a moment, he turned sideways, pulled Liu Ruyi to his side, and whispered: "The old thief that my brother said is the same person in Jinan Prefecture, Jia Shixian? Mr. Jia?"
Liu Ruyi's smile faltered, but soon relaxed, "Brother, you are really a hero!" After saying that, Liu Ruyi also burst into laughter!
"I don't want to stay here, I have my own place to stay! Brother, come on, let's have another drink!" When talking to a person like Liu Hanyi, there is no need to hide or tuck in. Instead, it makes him look like a small family, and Liu Ruyi is completely let go.
I am so open-minded that I want to have a good drink with him!
"Okay, happy! This is Uncle Liu's kind!" Liu Hanyi patted Liu Ruyi's shoulder heavily, without any nonsense, he picked up the wine glass and touched it with Liu Ruyi!
Is wine a poison that penetrates the intestines? Is wine a fine wine in the world?
Perhaps, at different moments, different moods, the same taste can taste different in everyone's heart.
After drinking two bottles of fine wine, Liu Ruyi and Liu Hanyi stopped almost at the same time, looking at each other and laughing!
Liu Hanyi waved his hand, dismissed the surrounding maids, and whispered: "Brother, don't worry too much! That Jia Shixian is just an old dog! Since he dares to swallow your money, brother, he will definitely give it double.
Spit it out!"
"Brother, thank you!" Liu Ru felt that Liu Hanyi was sincere and really wanted to vent his anger on him, and he couldn't help but feel a little more moved.
"Thank you for what? Brother!" Liu Hanyi smiled and patted Liu Ruyi on the shoulder, "You and I are from the same family! Counting three generations up, we are all the same ancestors. I will take care of your affairs, brother!"
Liu Ruyi knew that what she said was true, but she didn't want Liu Hanyi to be involved in this turmoil, so she wanted to politely refuse!
But just when Liu Ruyi was about to speak, she heard a burst of noise in the hall, and Liu Hanyi was also attracted tightly!
After a moment, on the high platform in the center of the hall, two little maids opened the gauze curtain, and a graceful figure slowly walked out from inside. The whole hall fell silent instantly.
She bowed Yingying and said softly: "My family is not good at studying and I have made a fool of myself in front of all the officials. I hope all the officials will forgive me!"
Her voice was as clear and crisp as an oriole's, but it seemed a little soft and lazy, just like the shy moan afterwards, without any artificiality, as if it was completely natural!
Liu Ruyi sighed in her heart, this girl really has something extraordinary!
Regardless of her appearance or figure, her voice alone is enough to make most men fascinated!
She took a glass of wine from the hand of the maid on the side, gave a gentle gesture to everyone, and said: "Today, the slave family is fortunate enough to be invited by the Xiao Mansion to perform on the stage. The slave family is deeply honored! Here, with only a glass of water
Wine, I would like to express my gratitude to you, please drink this cup to the fullest! I would like to do it first as a token of respect!"
After saying that, she held the wine glass with two fingers, elegant and charming, her red lips tasted lightly, and she drank the wine in one gulp!
"Okay! Haru, you are indeed a hero among girls!"
"Come on, come on! Do it, do it!"
Everyone in the audience applauded!
But for a moment, there was another commotion in the crowd. A maid next to Gein had already handed a red hydrangea into the hands of 'Chun Yu Slave'.
"Throw the hydrangea! Throw the hydrangea!"
"Throw the hydrangea..."
Everyone in the audience was like a wolf in heat, frantically venting the hormones in their bodies. Even the dignitaries at the main table stood up one after another.
"Brother, what does this mean? Isn't it true that everyone is doing art but not selling themselves this spring? How could it be..." Liu Ruyi was confused and looked at Liu Hanyi who was aside.
"Hehe! I didn't expect that you, brother, are so handsome, but you are actually a young boy!" Liu Hanyi chuckled and said: "This is the rule of Chun Family! The person who gets the hydrangea can meet Chun Family up close and write poems.
One song! If my brother has great literary talents and can pass this level, then he will have a chance to be her guest!"
Liu Ruyi nodded, "Brother, then, has anyone passed this level before?"
"Yes, yes, but there are two more levels behind Chun, and no one has passed it so far! So, brothers, don't worry! As long as you have the ability, you will definitely be able to win the beauty back!"
"if……"
Liu Ruyi wanted to ask again, but Liu Hanyi quickly waved her hand, "Brother, we'll talk about it later. Everyone in the spring is about to start throwing hydrangeas, so we brothers should try our luck!"
After Liu Hanyi finished speaking, he ignored Liu Ruyi's reaction and pulled Liu Ruyi directly towards the high platform aside.
At this time, 'Chun Yunu' was ready, and when everyone cheered, she suddenly released her hands and threw the red hydrangea in her hands high into the air.
"Mine, this is mine!"
"Get out of the way, who dares to fight with me!"
"Fuck you! I don't care who you are!"
"…………"
In the chaos, everyone seemed to have forgotten their dignity, and like a young man who had just begun to sympathize with the sinus, they raised their hands one after another, expecting the red hydrangea to fall into their hands.
Liu Ruyi did not come forward with Liu Hanyi, but hid in the periphery of the crowd and watched coldly!
Although beauty is good, one must have a life to enjoy it!
Liu Ruyi currently has no official position and is a pure loser. Naturally, she will not be arrogant enough to steal the limelight from those people.
But there is God's will in the dark. The more you don't want to get something, God's luck will be attached to you!
The red hydrangea, like a naughty elf, tumbled several times in front of everyone, and inadvertently flew straight towards Liu Ruyi's head.
Liu Ruyi instinctively stretched out her hands and firmly grasped the red hydrangea in her hands.
The venue instantly became quiet!
