Chapter two hundred and eighty-eighth fortunately even
A lot of people came to the banquet, not only the male guests, but also many female relatives. Qin Liang has a good reputation. He is loyal, brave, upright, and understands justice, so many girls are not afraid of ruining their reputation. For example, today's male
Guests and women are treated separately.
Of course Zhong Hui also came. When we were chatting under the stone steps before, Zhong Hui joked that I would come even if you didn't invite me.
It doesn't matter what you eat. What delicacies has Zhong Hui not tried? What matters is who is at the banquet.
Today's banquet was just for Ji Kang, and Zhong Hui felt that it was a worthwhile trip! Zhong Hui thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out how Qin Liang became friends with Ji Kang.
Ji Kang rarely attended such banquets where nobles gathered. In the usual scenes where everyone was having fun and having fun, Ji Kang was not seen. Such people were not invited to the house by powerful people.
Zhong Hui only knew Ji Kang, not a formal friendship.
However, Zhong Hui was very concerned about Ji Kang. As soon as he took his seat in the hall, he looked at Ji Kang intentionally or unintentionally, almost forgetting the people around him. Ji Kang had an aloof and indifferent air. He was not pretending to be arrogant, but coming from the bottom of his heart.
A state of mind and cultivation.
Zhong Hui couldn't describe his feeling. It seemed that he yearned for him and wanted to become that kind of person? No, it was a very strange feeling. The only thing he could be sure of was that he wanted to be recognized by Ji Kang.
Zhong Hui didn't care much about the world's opinions. He only wanted to know what Ji Kang thought of himself.
Zhong Hui had done something strange before. He wrote an article that he was very proud of and wanted Ji Kang to comment on it. So he came outside Ji Kang's mansion and wandered around for a while, but he didn't dare to visit him.
Ji Kang threw the article into Ji Kang’s yard!
Later, there was no news. Zhong Hui savored the feeling that he seemed to be showing weakness in front of Ji Kang, and felt very angry in his heart. He even wondered whether Ji Kang would be like ordinary people when he couldn't calm down. But Zhong Hui
Don't want to do that.
Amidst the complicated emotions, Ji Kang seemed to have become a mountain in Zhong Hui's heart. It had nothing to do with his origin, wealth, or power.
The strangest thing is that Zhong Hui showed weakness in front of Qin Liang, but he didn't have such complicated emotions. Just like just now, Zhong Hui said he would come even if he wasn't invited. It was a joke, but it was also a sign of weakness, but the two of them still laughed.
He was very happy and Zhong Hui didn't feel any discomfort.
Qin Liang is a very smart person with outstanding talents. Zhong Hui admires him, but he also makes him feel at ease inexplicably, like a brother...a very mysterious intuition, as if this tall and handsome brother will protect him.
of.
Before, his brother Zhong Yu actually supported the Sima family, but others couldn't tell it, but Zhong Hui knew it clearly. When Cao Shuang attacked Shu, Zhong Yu remained silent at first. Later, when Cao Shuang's defeat was determined, Zhong Yu wrote an article to persuade Cao Shuang to retreat.
What he did was to advance and retreat with the Sima family! Zhong Hui actually had a very good relationship with Sima Master and Sima Zhao.
When Qin Liang and Wang Ling entered Luoyang to visit the Sima family, Zhong Yu was very worried. But Zhong Hui was not afraid at all. The main reason was that he had an intuition that Qin Liang would not do anything to him.
People like Qin Liang are nostalgic. When he was unknown, Zhong Hui helped him become famous. Although Zhong Hui actually looked at Lu Xun out of affection that time, Qin Liang must have appreciated it.
Moreover, Qin Liang is different from the rumors among Taixue's friends. He has low self-esteem and strong self-esteem. After getting to know Zhong Hui, he felt that people were talking nonsense. Qin Liang was actually very thick-skinned!
Qin Liang often came to parties before and was ridiculed by He Jun almost every time, but Qin Liang would come again the second time. Zhong Hui thought of the past and found it funny.
The most peculiar thing is that now that Qin Liang has turned over, He Jun can still come to the banquet? Qin Liang's mentality is indeed very special! If Zhong Hui had been Qin Liang, He Jun would have known what it means to regret at this time!
By the way, He Jun was next to Zhong Hui at this time. He Jun may have thought that Zhong Hui was easy to talk to and came here on his own initiative. In fact, Zhong Hui despised this person at all. But Zhong Hui was not Ji Kang. He despised anyone but would not show it.
At this time, almost all the guests had arrived, and the hall was noisy. After a while, Qin Liang walked in together with his father-in-law Wang Guang, and the two of them came to the upper table and took their seats.
Several people immediately spoke of congratulations.
Qin Liang picked up the wine glass with a smile and said: "Since I went to Yangzhou, it is rare to meet my relatives and friends. I am very happy to have a banquet again today. The house is full of friends, it is really glorious! I propose a toast to everyone."
Huan Fan said: "It's a blessing that my servants can still drink here." Several people immediately agreed.
Another person said: "The general is so kind and honorable."
Everyone was talking and toasting with each other.
Then Qin Liang clapped his hands twice, and saw the musicians coming to the corner next to the harp, pipa, harp and other musical instruments. After a while, the slow and unique rhythm of drums sounded.
Various string sounds then joined in, as if a magnificent tide suddenly surged up, and then immediately receded, mixing with the sound of drums and playing a beautiful and soothing melody.
Zhong Hui noticed that Ji Kang's attention was also attracted, and he looked sideways at the musicians, probably because it was a new song. Ji Kang was very proficient in music, and he was probably interested in interesting new scores.
Only then did Zhong Hui remember that Qin Liang was also a melodic person, and this new song might have been composed by Qin Liang. Mainly because Qin Liang's performance on the battlefield was so impressive that Zhong Hui usually didn't think much of it. He is also a person who understands music and poetry.
Then a girl wearing a white mask came out with a sword. She walked lightly to the beat of the drums, then swung the sword and danced solo. She had a flexible waist, tall legs and long legs, and was very skilled in sword dance. Zhong Huiyi You can tell by looking at someone with such skills that you can't just find them. With Qin Liang's family background, he is quite capable.
He Jun next to him turned sideways and whispered: "Why do I look familiar?"
Can you tell with a mask on?
The mask on the girl's face covered most of her face, and only her eyes, red lips and chin could be seen. Her lips were smeared with gorgeous rouge, and her white and pointed chin made her look quite charming, but her body was Wearing a gray and white linen robe, with a wooden hairpin on her head, she looked simple and simple. The contrast between the beauty and simplicity did not feel out of place.
The girl's swordsmanship is flexible and powerful, and she cuts through the air with sound. Although the movements are just for viewing, with such skillful skills, I'm afraid it won't be too bad in actual combat.
Then four more girls wearing masks came on the stage, crossing each other with the girls dancing solo before. Their skirts were flying, their waists were as slender as willows, the cold light shone, and it was pleasing to the eye. The sound of strings and drums was also brisk from time to time with the sword dance. , sometimes with a solemn figure, ups and downs and melodious. This program is good, and the experience is very rich.
You can tell by looking at the demeanor of the guests that their expressions are gradually changing with the changes of the music and dance steps, and they are mesmerized to watch.
Because the guests include not only elegant people but also military commanders, everyone can find something interesting in this rich dance. Even a lustful person like He Jun can covet the slender waists of the girls.
And half-covered eyes and red lips.
After a long time, the five girls gathered together, bowed in all directions and retreated. People in the hall clapped their hands, and some people even cheered.
The show continued, and as soon as the sword dance ended, a dozen beautiful girls came up to dance the long-sleeved dance, and the atmosphere relaxed. The long-sleeved dance is a dance that can often be seen, and the soothing melody made everyone relax.
There were constant voices.
Zhong Hui picked up a knife and put a piece of roasted lamb on it to taste it. He immediately tasted the salty taste without any bitterness, and there were pepper and other condiments. He couldn't help but smile. Qin Liang was quite willing to give it up, at least very much.
Pay attention to today's guests.
He Jun's voice said: "There is pepper, where can I buy it?"
Zhong Hui smiled and said: "As long as you are willing to spend money, you can always buy it."
Pepper is very rare and of course very expensive. Zhong Hui remembers that once Lu Xun treated a guest and the salt he used was red salt from the Western Regions, which is also a kind of mineral salt with not much bitterness. He even mentioned it at the banquet. In contrast,
, Qin Liang was more generous, using refined salt, pepper, and various rare seasonings, and he didn't say anything. In fact, for people like Zhong Hui, there is no need to tell them, everyone will know it as soon as they taste it.
At this time, an unknown young man behind said: "I heard that we have invited female relatives, is Mrs. Lu here?"
He Jun's expression suddenly changed and he turned around and said, "What do you mean?"
Zhong Hui picked up the wine glass and said, "You two are going crazy because of alcohol. You have to drink a few more glasses before you get mad."
He Jun took a deep breath angrily, and then drank with Zhong Hui in a dignified manner.
The long-sleeved dance in the hall was over, and the girls began to dance to each other, and the rhythm of the music became brisk and joyful. A beautiful girl moved in front of her, and under her spinning posture, her skirts floated like umbrellas,
He glanced at He Jun with a smile. He Jun suddenly smiled and completely forgot about the unhappiness just now.
The girl's spinning dance posture stopped in front of Zhong Hui, stretching out her arms like peeled onions and stretching them gently, as if it was a dance movement, and she seemed to be inviting Zhong Hui.
Even if Zhong Hui shakes his head and refuses, the girl will not feel embarrassed because her movements are integrated into the dance.
But Zhong Hui did not refuse. He reached out and touched a small piece of golden bean from his arms, and while holding the girl's hand, he gently stuffed it into the girl's palm.
The girl turned her body slightly, half-covering it with her hands, and immediately saw clearly what was stuffed into her hands. A look of surprise appeared on her face, and her eyes looked at Zhong Hui.
Zhong Hui left the banquet, came to the girl, and danced with her.
The girl waved her long sleeves, leaned her body, spread her arms, and moved back to follow the music. Zhong Hui immediately put his hands on his hips and followed her further, and the two immediately cooperated very harmoniously. When Zhong Hui gave way again, the girl pressed forward again,
The body swayed and danced to the melody, always keeping a distance.
The guests looked sideways and smiled at Zhong Hui's performance. People who knew Zhong Hui laughed "haha" when they saw it. With Zhong Hui's participation, the atmosphere in the hall became more lively.
