The third volume of the country is famous Chapter 41 I have a pair
Three days later, it was night.
It was the full fifteenth month, and a bright jade moon emerged from the night clouds, taking away the color of thousands of stars, making it look like a dream.
The moonlight shines on the Xixiang River, with sparkling waves and dots like flowers.
The blue waves are clear and the oars are rippling. The boats are painted with red lights and are prosperous like songs.
Su Ling and Du Heng came to the pier early, and after waiting for a while, an exquisite painted boat came with the waves and docked on the shore. A red lantern was hung high on the boat, with the word "Xiangxiang" written on it, which meant a natural romance.
.
The boat swayed gently, and a girl wearing a pink gauze dress as thin as cicada's wings came out and said to Su Ling Piao Piao Wanfu: "Is this Mr. Su on the shore?"
Su Ling hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "It's Su."
The girl's expression was calm and composed, not at all like the vulgar makeup of Fireworks Willow Alley, but rather a touch of quietness and elegance. She smiled and said, "You can take the incense note with you."
Su Ling took out the incense paper, and the girl took it with bare hands. After looking at it for a while, she made a word of invitation and said: "Master Su, please come to the boat."
When Su Ling got on the boat, she felt a light aroma and her whole body felt much refreshed.
When the girl saw Su Ling sitting down on the boat, she called out, "Thank you for your hard work, boatman."
The sound faded, and the sound of the oars rose again, splashing in the clear water. Under the soft moonlight, the boat started moving again, carrying Su Ling and Du Heng slowly toward the branch of the Bahe River.
Su Ling stood still in the painting boat, with her hands behind her hands. She felt the changing light and shadow by the Xixiang River and the beautiful night in the world.
The boat is sailing in the water, the moon hangs in the sky, the paddle is clear and the lotus is green. Everything is included in the painting.
There are red buildings, green pavilions and exquisite pavilions in the river, which are constantly changing as the boat rides. During this period, silk and bamboo orchestras, fragrant breeze, red men and green women, dreams and drunkenness. The red gauze curtains are woven like tides, floating in the heart, and there is something related to this troubled world.
A rather inconsistent feeling of peace.
The boat sailed leisurely. After an unknown amount of time, the long sound of the oars stopped. The girl in gauze clothes came out and said, "Master Su, please get off the boat. In front of you is Xixiang Garden. I will take you there."
Su Ling finally woke up from her intoxication, said that she was tired, and followed her to the shore.
After walking for a while, I saw a rather simple and elegant pavilion in front of me. Although it is simple and elegant, I can see that the materials are precious. Although it is not as majestic as Jiangshan Tower, it can be called splendid. The four-story pavilion is all made of red and white gauze.
Floating among it, strings of silk and bamboo, strings, and clear singing burst out, sounding pathos and lingering, stirring the heartstrings.
Under the red light, the plaque on the main entrance reads like a painting with three big characters: Xixiang Garden.
The girl led Su Ling into Xixiang Garden and went straight to the fourth floor without any delay.
Along the way, there were even more beautiful ladies who saw Su Ling, their beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, and they were smiling sweetly.
Su Ling simply lowered his head to avoid disturbing his mind.
After going up to the fourth floor, there was a large hall. The girl stood in front of the hall door and stopped moving forward. She said again: "Mr. Su, inside is the main hall for the incense banquet. Please help yourself.
The slave family will send you here."
Su Ling took out some broken silver, put it in the girl's hand, and said softly: "I'd like to help you, madam, to lead the way."
The girl's face was slightly red, but she did not refuse. She took the reward generously and bowed away.
Only then did Su Ling enter the main hall.
But he found that there was no one in the main hall. It turned out that he had arrived early.
It was still early, so Su Ling took a closer look at the environment of the fragrant banquet.
There were four tables on the left and right sides of the main hall. Behind the tables was a brand-new futon with flowers embroidered by the famous Weaver Girl. There were faint sandalwood sticks on the tables, which smelled really good. Su Ling found that her name was on
On the last table on the right, I guess that was my seat.
There is also a table in the middle of the head. There is an old-looking guqin on the table. It must be the beloved possession of this oiran lady.
At the back is a huge screen. The paintings on the screen made Su Ling a little curious. Others either painted some paintings of Qixuan, or they were about mandarin ducks playing in the water. But this screen was painted with a little bit of red.
The plum blossoms are in full bloom with the snow, and there are two powerful characters beside them: Feng Gu.
This style is quite elegant.
In addition to these, the six large red-painted pillars in the main hall are all decorated with golden candlesticks. The red candles in the candlesticks are weeping and the candlelight is swaying.
While Su Ling was looking, he heard the sound of footsteps. He looked up towards the front of the hall and saw someone walking slowly towards him, but it was an old acquaintance.
It was none other than Shaliang Xue Heng.
Xue Heng also saw Su Ling and was slightly surprised. Then he smiled faintly, cupped his hands towards Su Ling, found the fourth table on the left with his name on it, and sat gently on the futon.
After a while, two more people came to the door.
Su Ling looked at him, but he looked unfamiliar. The man in front of him was nearly 30 years old. He had a light beard under his chin, was dressed in noble and gorgeous clothes, and had a jade ring on his left hand. Su Ling looked at his appearance. Although he had thick eyebrows,
He has broad eyes and a good appearance, but he feels somewhat deficient in energy and blood, and his eye circles are slightly green.
The other person is also dressed as a young master, and is slightly younger than the young master standing nearby. He has a bookish air and a slightly stingy appearance.
Su Ling didn't recognize him, but Xue Heng stood up, cupped his hands and said: "Jiangshan Ping has not seen the eldest son, but today he saw him at the Xiangxiang Banquet. The eldest son of Yangzhou, Liu Zhang, has been admired for a long time!" He then pointed at the young master next to him.
He said: "Brother Kuai Jun and Kuai Shi are here too. A few days ago, my father was saying that my uncle Kuai Shen was fine."
Su Ling's heart moved. This man was Liu Zhang, the eldest son of Yangzhou Shepherd Liu Jingsheng, the richest state in the world. The Kuai Jun next to him should be a member of the Kuai family, one of the two great lords in Yangzhou, Cai Kuai.
Kuai Shen and Su Ling had heard from Bai Shusheng that he was now the mastermind of Yangzhou Shepherd Liu Jingsheng, and he was also a very strategic person.
Liu Zhang greeted Xue Heng, exchanged a few pleasantries, and found himself sitting at the first table on the left. Kuai Jun, however, was very affectionate and sat next to Xue Heng and kept talking.
As soon as he sat down, another person walked in front of the door. He glanced at everyone with a rather disdainful look, said hello to no one, and sat down with a straight face, as if someone owed him money, and sat on the second seat on the left.
On a table.
Su Ling felt that his attitude of refusing to accept anyone was somewhat funny. He naturally recognized this person, it was Chao Heng, the troll.
On the day the Jiangshan Ranking was released, Chao Heng was dissatisfied with his fourth place. He sprayed him for a while and then left. He was never seen again. He didn't expect to see him today in Xixiang Garden.
Su Ling found it funny. He felt that this person was a master who didn't care about anything, but he never thought that he was also a master who died under peonies and was even a romantic ghost.
After a while, the sound of talking and laughing came from far and near in front of the main hall door, all of which were making fun comments about the girls here.
Chao Heng was the first to roll his eyes and muttered: "If I had known there were such sluts, I wouldn't have come even if I were invited."
Even though he said that, he didn't show any intention of leaving.
Three people appeared in front of the door, one of whom Su Ling recognized was Yuan Wuqian. The other two looked to be about thirty years old, but they were walking in front, with Yuan Wuqian following behind.
As soon as these three people appeared, everyone in the hall, except Su Ling and Chao Heng, did not stand up. Xue Heng, Liu Zhang, and Kuai Jun all stood up, held their hands in greeting and said: "It turns out that it is the Fourth Young Master Shen, the Second Young Master Tian, and Mr. Yuan has arrived."
Su Ling already knew the identities of these three people. Needless to say, Yuan Wuqian, the Fourth Young Master Shen should be the fourth son of General Shen Jizhou. As for the Second Young Master Tian, if Su Ling guessed correctly, he should be Shen Jizhou. The son of Tian Jin, his confidant adviser.
As everyone knows, Shen Jizhou has six great counselors: Tian, Xu, Chen, Qin, Peng, and Guo. Tian Jin is ranked first among the six great counselors, and he is also the master of countless strategies. Shen Jizhou can destroy He conquered Yanzhou Tuoba Li all because of Tian Jin's strategy.
Yuan Wuqian originally had a cheerful face and a smile on his face, but when he saw Su Ling at a glance, it could be said that he was an enemy meeting. He was extremely jealous, his face was as cold as ice, he strode up to Su Ling, and sneered: "I thought this fragrant banquet was for everyone. He is a talented person from a well-known family, how can a country boy be qualified to participate?"
Su Ling looked calm and laughed loudly: "The Xiangxiang Banquet is a place of fun, not a review of the country? You have the Xiangxiang note, but I don't have any? If Mr. Yuan thinks that I am not qualified, why don't we do it again?" Make a pair to match the previous pair!"
Yuan Wuqian was choked by him, pointed at him for a long time and said: "We are all from a well-established family, what do you have?"
Su Ling said jokingly: "I... have a match!"
"...Stop talking nonsense, we occupy one side and have countless soldiers. What do you have?"
"I have a pair..."
"You... General Shen's fourth son is here now. Don't be arrogant. General Shen has five of the eight states in the north. What do you have?"
"I have a match!..."
Yuan Wuqian was so choked by him that his face turned red, his ears were red, his ears were red, his eyes were dumbfounded, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.
Fourth Young Master Shen took a step forward, his face was as dark as water, and he said calmly: "Su Ling, Jiangshan Ping has been in the limelight, but I want to see if you show cowardice at the incense banquet!"
Su Ling rolled her eyes and looked at him and said, "Then just wait and see."
Suddenly Chao Heng laughed wildly and said: "This is the first time I see the Shen family is in trouble. This brother is quite interesting. Why don't we sit together?"
Su Ling thought to himself, you are such a troll. When you spray, you can't tell the difference between us and the enemy, and it is easy to accidentally hurt me. I'd better keep a certain distance from you, lest you go crazy, go into battle shirtless, and spit in my face. That would be bad.
He hurriedly waved his hands and said: "You can sit wherever you sit. Mr. Chao is very knowledgeable. Mr. Su is ashamed of himself. Sit down, sit down!"
Chao Heng was quite impressed by these rainbow fart words, so he nodded and did not come over.
The three young masters Shen and the Fourth Young Master all looked ugly, so they found their seats and sat down.
Su Ling then took a peek and saw on the nameplate on the table, the name of the Fourth Young Master Shen was Shen Qian, and the name of the Second Young Master Tian was Tian Xu.
Su Ling was secretly thinking that in such a grand event that was attracting so much attention, Shen Qian and Tian Xu, the fourth sons of the Shen family, and Liu Zhang, the eldest son of Liu Jingsheng, did not show up, so why would a small incense banquet have such a big impact? Such influence actually alerted the young masters of two wealthy families to come out. Could it be that the power behind this courtesan is not simple?
But then I thought about it, these dandy boys all look sanctimonious on the surface, but in fact they are all masters of pleasure, so it is not unusual for them to appear in the romantic field.
After a while, a maid served tea. The tea was even more generous than the tea from Jiangshan Tower. The tea from Jiangshan Tower had a long and thick aroma, but this tea had a rich and lingering aroma.
Su Ling thought to himself that people in this period drank tea by making tea, but when he went out to Wanyang and walked along the way, he didn't see anyone making tea. They only made tea with tea leaves, which was strange.
Later, when I thought about it, although this was quite similar to that era, it was in another world, time and space, and I felt relieved.
When the maid served tea, Chao Heng began to feel sick again and said: "I sat there for a long time and there was nothing good to eat. I drank water to rinse my intestines and play with it. The oiran lady was nowhere to be seen? If she doesn't come out, I will lie down here and sleep."
The maids did not argue, they all covered their faces and smiled, then slowly retreated.
After a long time, the hall became extremely quiet, with only the sound of the flowing blue water outside the hall. Looking up, I saw the sky full of stars and moon, and the vast sky with sparse clouds.
Everyone was waiting a little impatiently, and suddenly someone said loudly in front of the door: "The courtesan of Banan City, Ruhua Girl, is here to meet you gentlemen!"
Everyone in the hall looked towards the front of the hall.
