Zhou Chen and Fang Duobing came to the teahouse together and saw Murong Yaozheng sitting alone, paying no attention to the maid serving beside him.
As soon as the two of them sat down, two women came over to serve them tea. Fang Duobing saw that the women serving them were cautious and trembling. When Bihuang came over, he took the initiative to ask for a favor for the girls.
Let them escape punishment today.
Bihuang wanted to find a chance to talk to Zhou Chen alone, but there was no chance. She could only endure the eagerness in her heart and look for another chance.
Li Lianhua and Fang Duobing were quickly invited by Yu Louchun. Zhou Chen was drinking tea when Lu Jianchi suddenly sat down next to him.
"Brother Zhou, it is really a blessing to meet Brother Zhou today. I have two great sorrows in my life, one is wine and the other is sword. I have heard about Xiangyi Taijian for a long time, but I have never really seen it. Brother Zhou today
It really opened my eyes.”
Zhou Chen cupped his hands and said politely: "Brother Lu, you're welcome. I have admired Brother Lu for a long time. It is my honor to meet you today."
Lu Jianchi looked free and easy: "If Brother Zhou doesn't mind, after this red mountain is over, I would like to have a sword test with Brother Zhou. I wonder if Brother Zhou is willing?"
"Why don't you want to do this? We are all people of the world, and we are also people who love swords. It is a great blessing to learn swordsmanship and martial arts with each other. It is even better to be able to improve each other."
"Brother Zhou's arrogance is admirable. I'll offer you three cups of tea instead of wine, please."
"please."
At first glance, Lu Jianchi looked like the kind of free and uninhibited gangster who didn't have much scheming, so Zhou Chen had a good impression of him. He sincerely invited him, and it was just a sword show with him. There was nothing he couldn't agree to.
.
"Dang, Dang!"
Suddenly a bell rang in the distance, which was the noon bell.
In Yulouchun's room, Bihuang was standing respectfully aside.
"Bihuang, that Zhou Chen chose your fragrant red, what do you think?"
Bihuang immediately replied respectfully: "Bihuang is the housekeeper of the female house. During the period of Manshanhong, there are many affairs, so it is really not suitable to accompany her during the banquet. Also, Bihuang only has the master in her heart and does not want to devote herself to others. Please also ask the master
forgive."
After Yulouchun heard this, he didn't have much reaction. He just said lightly: "It's God's will. He chose your fragrant red. Don't break the rules of Manshanhong."
"Master, Bihuang knows that he shouldn't be like this, but he has developed feelings for his master and it's really hard for him to control himself."
"If it is true as you said, then you should not go against it. Zhou Chen has not been involved in the world for a long time, but he has learned the secret skills of Li Xiangyi, who was the best in the world ten years ago. I am very interested in Xiangyi Taijian.
"
Bihuang frowned slightly and asked softly: "What does the master mean by asking Bihuang to contact this person and gain his trust?"
Before she entered the women's house, she was just a girl from an ordinary family, and knew very little about things in the world. However, since Yu Louchun described it as the best in the world, it means that the martial arts learned by Zhou Chen must be rare.
Only then would people like Yu Louchun be tempted.
Yulouchun chuckled and said: "Although I rarely get involved in the world, the name of Li Xiangyi, the best in the world, has been famous for many years. It is said that Yi Taijian is the best sword technique in the world. Although I am not very good at swordsmanship, I have a chance.
If so, I also want to experience the best swordsmanship in the world."
"I don't worry about others, but I don't trust you only. It just so happens that he chose your fragrance. Isn't this God's will?"
"But Bihuang is very affectionate for his master, and he really doesn't want to compromise with others."
"That's enough, Bihuang, this matter is settled. Manshanhong will be in charge later, and you will be responsible for Zhou Chen."
Bihuang's expression kept changing, and finally, under Yu Louchun's threat, he could only lower his head and agree.
"Yes, Master."
As soon as noon passed, Bihuang led Zhou Chen and others to the Qinhong Hall. Standing at the door, he could only see the curtains that had been lowered inside, but couldn't see much more.
As soon as they arrived, Yu Louchun came over to greet them. He smiled and greeted everyone.
"Everyone is here. Everyone here is someone whom Yu admires. I'm lucky enough to invite all of them, especially Mr. Zhou Chen. Coming all the way here, it really gives Yu a huge honor."
Zhou Chen cupped his hands and said, "I came uninvited. Instead of blaming me, Mr. Yu invited me to the table. I admire you for your broad-mindedness."
Yulouchun said with a smile: "Young Master Zhou is laughing, mainly because I have never heard of you before, otherwise I will definitely invite you this time."
"Okay, everyone, please take your seats."
Everyone walked into the Qinhong Hall one after another and sat down in front of a large round table. Fine wine and delicious food were already placed on the table.
Yu Louchun sat behind the desk above and introduced everyone with a smile.
"The jug of wine in front of you is made from the ice springs of Xiangshan Mountain. It has been stored for hundreds of years. A jug is made on this day every year. Manshanhong is the name of this wine."
When Shi Wenjue heard this, he was immediately surprised: "Manshanhong is wine? Is there nothing else?"
Yulouchun pretended to be surprised: "This century-old wine is not enough, what else do you want?"
Shi Wenjue had a disappointed look on his face, and everyone present had a clear look on his face. This guy had been talking about red sleeves adding fragrance before, and no one knew what he had in mind.
Lu Jianchi, on the other hand, drank a glass directly and praised the wine loudly. Then he took out his own gift, an ice cup made of snow-capped mountains, and gave one to everyone.
Zhou Chen also drank a glass from an ice cup. He was quite accomplished in wine. After drinking a glass, he felt very good. Although the alcohol content was not as high as that of white wine, it tasted really good in his mouth.
Endless aftertaste.
The wine-making technology of the ancients may not be as sophisticated as modern times, but they had unique techniques and the wine they produced was definitely no worse than the various wines of later generations.
Shi Wenjue and Li Yifu both had great poetry, and each of them composed a poem.
Zhou Chen also said at this time: "I have come here to participate in Manshanhong. I have also prepared a gift. This is the long-lost Guangling San. Please accept it, Mr. Yu."
Although this world is completely unfamiliar to Zhou Chen, the strange thing is that Guangling San also exists in this world, so Zhou Chen came up with this song.
"Guangling San?"
It cannot be said that everyone present is a scholar, but everyone has heard of such a famous ancient song as Guangling San.
Yulouchun's eyes lit up, and with a smile on his face, he took the ancient song from Zhou Chen's hand, looked at it for a few times, and his smile became even bigger.
"Young Master Zhou, I can't thank you enough for such a great gift."
Others were also jealous, but Yulouchun put away the score.
Lu Jianchi was the least interested among everyone. He curiously asked Li Lianhua: "Brother Zhou also sent a gift. Did Divine Doctor Li and Mr. Fang really not prepare any gifts?"
Li Lianhua reacted very quickly and said with a smile: "Of course I'm ready, Fang Xiaobao, come on."
Fang Duobing immediately gave an impromptu speech and said that the real Manshanhong is around here.
With a wave of Yu Louchun's hand, two teams of female envoys came in and sat down next to Zhou Chen and others. Bihuang sat next to Zhou Chen.
"The fragrant red chosen in front of the mountain gate belongs to one of the girls here. You have chosen your own good match, and God will provide it. Come, let us drink this cup together."
Zhou Chen and others drank the wine from the wine glasses, and then returned the fragrant red wine in their hands to the women.
Bihuang's eyes have always been on Zhou Chen. Not only her, Zhou Chen also found that when those women came in, their eyes briefly glanced at him. Compared with Bihuang, he had already told them some things.
Will pay attention to him.
Bihuang handed the hibiscus flower in her hand to Zhou Chen with a smile on her face, like a beautiful lamb, full of temptation.
As everyone sat down, the banquet officially began. Many precious dishes were served, including the fish soup from Chushen unknown place, which was even more delicious.
Next, Murong Yao, who had been silent until now, suddenly stood up and was about to offer a gift. It was a thunderous dance, and he also asked the Red Dragon Girl to play for him.
Zhou Chen watched the thunderous dance of Murong Yao and Chi Long very seriously. It must be said that Murong Yao is famous all over the world and is called the 'Dancing Demon'. He is not in vain. This dance is really
Stunning and unparalleled.
Even with his eyesight, he was shocked by this dance.
In addition to the amazingness of this dance, his other biggest feeling is that if this man becomes enchanting, he really has nothing to do with women...
one word,
Absolutely!
When the dance ended, Yu Louchun waved his hands, indicating that everyone could go back to their rooms to rest.
With the support of Bihuang, Zhou Chen came to the room that belonged to him. As soon as he walked into the room and closed the door, the next moment, there was a dagger around his neck.
"who are you?"
The dagger was in front of his neck, but Zhou Chen didn't show any panic at all. Instead, he said very calmly: "Girl, it's better not to use the knife or the sword."
After saying that, Bihuang felt a light touch on her hand, and the dagger actually fell into Zhou Chen's hand.
