"Haha, come on, come on, please come inside~!" The old man in red stroked his beard, and without giving everyone a chance to look at Long Yu, he waved his hand and let Long Yu in. The old man followed him out.
The person was so bored that he went back before he could take a closer look. {Swallow}
So the group of people walked back again, and Long Yu was of course at the end. After entering the front hall and turning around the corner door, Long Yu followed everyone to the front of a pavilion, which was a completely wooden attic.
, the carved-railed building is full of energy, and the paintings outside the building are also very charming. On the top of the attic, there is a
The flower plaque also had a font written on it that Long Yu didn't recognize. However, after examining it carefully, Long Yu suddenly had a flash in his mind. This font was similar to what he had seen before in the humble Zhai Mansion. Could it be that,
Does that poor family have anything to do with this place? Or is this a unique new type of calligraphy?
But when I counted all the mainland calligraphy schools I knew in my mind, I had never heard of this one. "Come on, please~!" The old man in red smiled and called Long Yu. Long Yu came back to his senses and followed.
The old man walked into the attic.
The first floor is a living room, the furnishings are grand and natural, and the decorations inside are just ordinary things. There is not a single luxury item in it. Before Long Yu can take a closer look, a group of people walked up the stairs.
Naturally, Yu followed suit. Long Yu didn't even have time to see what the furnishings were on the second floor. He only caught a glimpse of a string of bead curtains and followed everyone directly up to the third floor.
Passing through a garden gate and walking into it, Long Yu felt that his eyes suddenly opened up. This was an extremely spacious hall. It was decorated like a tea room for tea tasting, but if you look closely, it looked like a flower house.
Just walk around and see the venue, this is a place for leisure and entertainment.
Everyone walked over and took their seats. There was a long brocade banquet. There was a short table in front of it. The table was made of rosewood and exuded a fragrant smell. Everyone took off their boots when they entered and wore snow-white clothes.
The boy knelt on the mat and sat upright, which made Long Yu confused. He looked around and found that there was still no one in the corner. Long Yu immediately walked over and knelt down.
This kind of kneeling down is the etiquette used by the orthodox nobles of the Xianglong Empire to entertain guests. Although Long Yu has received special training, he hates this kind of etiquette. Not only does it feel uncomfortable to kneel on his knees, but the blood on his calf is still wet.
It's not popular. I really don't know how these old people can talk and laugh while kneeling on their old legs.
When the old man in red saw Long Yu finding a place to sit down, he smiled slightly and ignored it. He walked up to the main seat and sat in the middle. Long Yu took a look and found the old man's
There are two tables on the left and right sides, and the person sitting on the left hand
It is Elder Qingyou of the Guangming Temple, but the table on his right is empty. In front of the old man, on both sides, a series of sandalwood tables are spread out. There are less than ten people sitting in the huge hall.
It makes the place feel empty.
Long Yu turned his eyes and looked in front of him again. There were four tall dishes placed, each only as big as the mouth of a bowl. There were a handful of food inside, including red, green, meat and vegetables, all kinds of colors.
But this amount is really small.
Lian, Long Yu made a rough estimate. If he opened his cheeks to eat, these dishes would not be enough to eat twice. However, this noble banquet was not just for filling the stomach. Therefore, Long Yu only thought in his heart.
Think about it.
In addition to four dishes of side dishes, there is also a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the table, plus a unique teacup. The teacup is square, rather like a bamboo hat for holding rice, but it is much smaller than that, almost as big as an ordinary teacup.
Long Yu raised the teacup curiously, stretched out his hand, and was quite surprised.
This cup, which looks like wood, feels like metal in the hand and is quite heavy. When Long Yu was looking at the display in front of him, the rest of the people in the hall were looking at him. Everyone was very excited.
I was curious as to what this young man who had never met before was able to be invited here by Principal Zhai. Among the crowd, only the old man in red was holding the tea cup, squinting his eyes and gently smelling the tea.
Fragrant, indifferent to the imagination in this hall.
After he had finished reading everything in front of him, Long Yu raised his head. When he raised his head, he was startled. There were eyes on both sides staring at him closely, and Long Yu was looking at the back.
A chill ran down his back. Each of these people who could sit here must be an expert on the same level as the old man in red. You can imagine how terrifying the eyes of these people were. Long Yu said softly.
He took a deep breath and encouraged himself mentally.
"Principal, why don't you introduce this kid?" Finally, the elder in white, who had the best personal relationship with the old man in red, spoke up, breaking the weird situation. After hearing the old man in white, everyone turned their attention to the old man in red.
, looking forward to finding out the answer from the old man in red.
"Ah? This young man and I met by chance. As for his last name and where he comes from, I don't know. To be honest, I only met this young man for one night, because he and I
We are destined, so I invited him to come and have a chat." The old man in red said, stroking his beard.
As soon as the old man in red finished speaking, there was a slight gasp in the hall. Everyone couldn't help but turn their attention to Long Yu again, wanting to see what was so special about this young man.
The old man in red was so worried when they met each other. In fact, Long Yu himself wanted to know this issue. If he knew that everyone thought so, he would probably be willing to discuss it together.
Gossips were forgotten. Everyone just sighed and returned to normal. After all, they are all people at that level, and their self-cultivation skills are naturally good. "Sir, why don't you introduce yourself to everyone?" The old man in red said
He took a sip of fragrant tea and said with a smile.
Long Yu quickly leaned over and returned the salute, and said loudly: "Senior, I'm ashamed of you. We meet by chance, and being favored by senior and meeting all the masters is a blessing that I have earned. In front of you all
, Let’s not mention the boy’s dirty name.” “Haha, you are so eloquent, come on, let’s drink tea~!” The old man in red laughed twice, picked up the teacup and gestured to everyone, not caring at all about Long Yu’s rejection.
.
Everyone listened to Long Yu's unwillingness to reveal his name, so he lost interest in the investigation. After all, everyone sitting here is a famous figure. Since they are not willing to say anything, it would be too much to wait and see.
Points were lost, so the old man
At a signal, everyone raised their glasses and drank their tea. The awkward situation caused by Long Yu's arrival was resolved, and everyone returned to the scene of sitting and talking. For a while, the whole hall was filled with faint voices, and unconsciously,
It became lively.
Long Yu listened with his ears straight for a while and then lost interest, because what these masters talked about were all elegant things. In terms of Long Yu's knowledge and experience, it was like listening to astronomy. He had to pretend to listen carefully, but his eyes
But it was spinning around and looking around.
Although Long Yu had received professional training in the etiquette of this noble banquet, this was his first time to formally participate. Therefore, he sat here muttering in his heart, and he had already taken the small cup of tea in one gulp.
I finished the sip quickly, and the four plates were shaped like
Long Yu didn't dare to eat the unique dishes, because among the crowd, Long Yu hadn't found anyone using chopsticks. Just like that, Long Yu knelt down and went numb for a while before listening to the old man in red.
He shouted: "Okay, the guests are almost here, let's serve~!"
"Yes, sir~!" The response came from someone who didn't know where it came from. Long Yu just felt that it was like the sound of nature. He could finally change to something else, because at the noble banquet, while the dishes were being served, there were also singing and dancing performances.
Will start, this way, Long Yu won't be bored anymore.
A burst of melodious music started. Long Yu looked up and looked around, but he didn't see the performers. He couldn't help but become curious, where were the musicians hiding in such a big room? Just when Long Yu was looking around, he suddenly slipped away.
elegantly dressed
The maids walked in, each with their clothes fluttering like fairies, but they were holding a tray with two dishes on it. Beside the maids, there was a servant holding a small table, two teams.
A large number of people came in from outside.
Along with the music, the servants quickly removed the tea table in front of everyone and placed the small table they brought. Long Yu took a closer look and muttered in his heart, this table is smaller than the tea table just now and cannot be placed there.
How many dishes are there? Just as I finished muttering to myself, the waiter who was looking at me touched the table lightly, and there was a "stuck" sound.
The table automatically extended and unfolded, becoming a standard dining table that was more than one meter long and half a meter wide. This move made Long Yu wonder. The maid responsible for serving Long Yu also snickered and looked at Long Yu more.
At a glance, I could see that this stern-looking young man had no idea of his origins, but he was sitting stupidly in his master's guest seat.
The serving of food lasted for two whole courses, and several rounds of maids came before the dishes were completely served. After the waiting maids walked out, the hall became spacious again, and Long Yu had time to take a look at the dishes on the table. Table
There were four hot, four cold, two snacks, a platter and a small pot of soup. After taking a closer look, Long Yu knew in his mind that these dishes were of the highest standard, belonging to the level of delicacies from mountains and seas. Long Yu
As a descendant of the Duke's family, these dishes
Naturally, he ate too much, but what surprised Long Yu was that he didn't recognize one of the cold dishes. It was a plate of food arranged in two layers. The upper layer was crystal-like, but it looked dark.
The lower layer was oily and tender, but it was *white. The two layers looked like slices of meat, but they didn't look like it. The quality of the dishes was also the worst on the whole table. Long Yu couldn't help but become curious about such dishes.
