The sound of silk and bamboo orchestral music and people's chat and laughter filled the hall. From time to time, people came up to toast and talk. It didn't take long for Qin Liang's face to turn red and he drank too much. The wine at this time was not distilled, but it was not in a small cup. At the banquet, Everyone's drinking capacity is measured in liters, and they can still get drunk.
There was a burst of laughter in the hall, and Zhong Hui actually danced with a dancer in the middle in front of dozens of people. They danced in pairs, and then danced a dance called "Dancing to Belong" , the coordination is quite good. At this time, the dancers no longer need to dance in a set. As long as they can keep up with the music and dance beautifully, they can perform freely in the halls.
Zhong Hui, a person from a wealthy family, is relatively generous. Dancing with the dancer in front of so many people does not actually have a sense of frivolity and evil. At most, it is suspected of being a bit dissolute. After all, the dancer originally used sex to entertain people, she He was just doing his job, but Zhong Hui was a member of a well-established family.
However, Zhong Hui returned to his seat before dancing for a while. The dancer then swayed her dance steps and walked straight towards Ji Kang.
Qin Liang saw this and immediately guessed that the dancer had taken Zhong Hui's fancy and was deliberately trying to tease Ji Kang. People like Zhong Hui had countless tricksters at home, and I'm afraid they were tired of playing with the singer and dancer a long time ago. He just danced with the dancer, maybe it was Xiang Zhuang's sword dance that was meant for Pei Gong.
The dancer stretched her body with one slender hand up and one down in the sound of the piano, and then folded her arms above her head. Just as a brisk melody sounded, her body spun along with it, and her skirts were thrown away. Feiwu immediately spun to Ji Kang, the arms above his head spread out to the wings, one arm stretched out in front of Ji Kang, and his knees slightly bent, which was an invitation.
I have to admit that when Cao Shuang spent all day banqueting in the mansion, he actually trained the dancers in the mansion. These dancers were very generous and could stir up the atmosphere.
Ji Kang actually showed an embarrassed look, a little embarrassed. The young girl looked at him with a smile, as if she liked him very much and admired him. In this kind of scene, Ji Kang was certainly embarrassed to look at him coldly. But Ji Kang, a madman, obviously didn't want to be there. Dancing in front of people, I didn't know what to do.
Zhong Hui looked at Ji Kang with a smile, as if he had gained some kind of spiritual satisfaction.
Ji Kang seemed to have come to his senses and looked at Zhong Hui. Zhong Hui put away his smile, acting as if nothing had happened and it was none of his business.
The young and beautiful dancer is actually just a thread. What Zhong Hui pays attention to is mostly the slovenly man diagonally across from her.
Qin Liang didn't know what the relationship between the two was, but just now they had a distant interaction without saying a word.
Suddenly Qin Liang felt a little emotional in his heart. He knew that Ji Kang's death was related to Zhong Hui in history. But what he saw now was a joke at the banquet. Zhong Hui seemed to have no hatred against Ji Kang at this time. The world The grievances between them are always unpredictable.
At this moment, Yang Hu and Wang Chen left the table and walked out the door. Qin Liang was also about to have a few words with Yang Hu, and they were familiar with each other, so he said to Wang Guang next to him: "I'm going to the toilet."
Last time Yang Hu took the initiative to meet, but Qin Liang didn't want to come out in the West Pavilion. It was indeed a pity that he missed that meeting. At the beginning, Yang Hu should have come to intercede for Wang Yuanji. After Wang Yuanji's matter was resolved, people like Yang Hu , I won’t come and cling to you if nothing happens.
After Qin Liang stood up, he felt that his feet were a little floating, and he had really drunk too much wine. He calmed down, took a few steps slowly, and then walked out from the aisle behind the seat.
He walked down the stone steps, looked left and right, but did not see the two people just now, so he walked along the west corridor, waiting for them to appear.
As soon as I reached the end of the corridor that extended from east to west, I suddenly heard someone talking behind the corner.
Wang Chen's voice sighed and said: "Now that I have come to Cao Zhaobo's old mansion again, I often think of what my uncle said. My uncle is indeed foresighted."
Yang Hu's voice said: "I didn't expect that Cao Zhaobo would end up like that at the time. I really can't say that I have foresight."
Qin Liang immediately understood what they were talking about. Cao Shuang seemed to have recruited many gentry children before, and Wang Shen was among them. He heard that Wang Shen had invited Yang Hu to join him as an official in Cao Shuang's mansion, but Yang Hu declined twice.
Wang Chen didn't think that far ahead. He first accepted Cao Shuang's conquest. After Cao Shuang fell, he was accepted by the Sima family and went to Shouchun to deliver the edict. At that time, the edict that appointed Wang Ling as Taiwei was Wang Chen's. Sent by Shen.
Now that the Sima family has also collapsed, Wang Chen is still fine... Who calls his uncle Wang Chang?
But Qin Liang was unable to win over Wang Chen for the time being, because Wang Chen must have defected to Wang Ling. His uncle Wang Chang was from Taiyuan County and had been his brother to Wang Ling since childhood.
Wang Chang also has a close relationship with the Sima family, and it was Sima Yi who facilitated his appointment as the governor of Jingyu. But now that Sima Yi is dead, the leader of the Bingzhou gentry is obviously Wang Ling. It is best for Wang Chang's family to return to Wang Ling's arms. s Choice.
Qin Liang walked around the corner and deliberately showed a surprised expression.
Yang Hu and Wang Chen immediately bowed to pay homage.
Qin Liang smiled and said: "Uncle, you don't have to be cautious. I'm very happy that you can come."
He then pointed to the office building not far away and said, "I became Cao Zhaobo's servant relatively early, and my office was there."
Wang Shen said: "I'm on the east side."
The two immediately looked at each other and smiled.
Qin Liang said to Yang Hu again: "I really couldn't leave last time. Several people came to visit, but I didn't see them. I neglected my uncle."
Yang Hu cupped his hands and said, "It doesn't matter. I'm looking for an opportunity to thank General Qin in person."
Wang Chen was also a sensible person. Hearing that the two of them had something to say, he bowed and said, "I will go back to the hall to enjoy the dance first. The song and dance music arranged by General Qin is very beautiful. I don't want to miss it."
Qin Liang returned the courtesy and said: "We will drink in the hall later."
After Wang Chen left, Yang Hu said: "General Qin rescued my sister, and I was very grateful. My sister had a hard time, but fortunately she escaped. That day, the servant wanted to ask General Qin for one more thing, but then my cousin He has been rescued and his servants have not visited him again."
Qin Liang said: "I have always admired my uncle's talents and character. Even if you don't come, I will try to rescue Mrs. Sheep. Later, Mrs. Sheep came and mentioned the matter of Wang Yuanji. It was because I valued my uncle that I managed to save her." that matter."
Yang Hu had never made friends with Qin Liang before. Hearing this, he couldn't help but look at Qin Liang twice. Qin Liang's face was sincere, with admiration and goodwill in his expression. Yang Hu saw this and hurriedly bowed and said: " I don’t dare to be a servant.”
Qin Liang could feel that this Yang Hu was actually as noble as Ji Kang. Ordinary people dreamed of becoming an official, including people like Wang Chen who came from a noble family, but Yang Hu Ji Kang had a high spirit. If he was someone they looked down upon, he would be sent to an official position. Of course, none of these people do it.
However, their personalities are different. Yang Hu behaves much more modestly and cautiously, but only on the surface. Moreover, Ji Kang is inclined to Taoism and seems to have really looked down on his official career, but Yang Hu is a worldly person and should believe in Confucianism.
Qin Liang wanted Yang Hu to be his vassal. But thinking about Cao Shuang and Sima Yi's conquests, Yang Hu had already rejected them. Now that he was suddenly invited, it might not be easy for him to agree.
So Qin Liang gave up his direct style and prepared to adopt a roundabout strategy.
Qin Liang could only say: "I will welcome my uncle to General Wei's mansion at any time in the future."
