Chapter 7 Invitations

"Spring feast, a glass of green wine and a song again, and then worship Chen's three wishes: one wishes Lang Jun is a thousand years old, two wishes that the concubine is always healthy, and three wishes are like Liang Shangyan, and they often see each other every year.

Zige sat behind the curtain, stroking the piano and singing, and the red dress on the stage was leading several sisters to dance. As the most famous music shop in the city, the business of the spring breeze is naturally excellent, and even Zige can no longer wander around all day long, and needs to come to the hall to help. Although the mother was a little dissatisfied with this, she could only follow her aunt's wishes.

After singing a song, the house applauded as usual. After Hongshang stepped down, Aunt Zhao whispered a few words to her, and she nodded obediently.

"Will you come with me to the Jade Lotus Hall to thank you later? It is said that this guest is a distinguished guest, and I am a little worried. ”

The red dress came to him and begged. Lin Wan never allowed Zige to go out to meet guests, but looking at Hongsheng's sad face, Zige's heart softened and she agreed.

Hongshang has always been depressed these days, practicing dance hard in the room alone, and Zige is always worried that she will be sick because of the pressure. It's rare that Hongshang didn't get angry with Aunt Zhao today, and promised to see the guests alone, and it was also appropriate to accompany her.

The Jade Lotus Hall is open and bright, and it is one of the most luxuriously decorated in the music room. Zige kept a careful eye before going upstairs, pretending to be a maid with a piano, following behind Hongsheng, lowering her eyebrows, and observing quietly.

On the main seat was a gorgeously dressed and heroic man, who was said to have come from the capital of Yongzhou, and he was extremely generous. Aunt Zhao only glanced at the silver ticket he gave, then put on her most flattering smile, and served before and after the saddle, presumably his identity must be very noble.

"It is said that you once 'played the white jade flute, made "Amazing Dance", a brilliance', and when you see it today, it really lives up to your name."

"Lu Gongzi praises falsely." Hongshang lowered her head and smiled shyly. She was wearing a plain light blue dress today, with dark jade-like green silk, and a flying fairy bun sparsely curled at the back of her head, looking elegant and refined.

The man looked extraordinary, and his conversation was quite human. The other man next to him was thick-eyed and uninhibited, pouring himself a wine glass.

"The wine in this music shop is very good, I ask you, what is the name of your wine?"

He asked with a loud wipe from the back of his hand and asked, in a casual tone.

"Liu Gongzi, the name of the music workshop is Spring Breeze Ten Miles, and this wine is called the Spring Banquet." Hongshang was not annoyed, and replied with a smile.

"Good wine, good wine." He put down the glass and shook the little wine jug that was left, "Junyi, you can taste it too." ”

"Drinking and making mistakes, I've never been good at what's in the cup, and you're not ignorant of Yuzhang." Lu Junyi glanced at him helplessly, his eyes flashed, but he looked at Zige, "Dare to ask if this girl is the one who caresses the piano behind the curtain?" ”

Seeing him at a glance, Zige saw through his evasion, so he generously stepped forward and saluted the two.

"Exactly, I've seen two sons."

"The girl is polite. Today's music is very elegant, and I was asking the piano player, but I didn't expect to meet it. Lu Junyi smiled, "The two of us came from Beijing, and I didn't expect to get such a wonderful double wall here." ”

"Bosom friends are rare, Lu Gongzi has won the award."

Zige lowered his eyes and smiled, pretending to turn a blind eye to Liu Yuzhang's presumptuous scrutiny. She has also met a lot of lustful people in the spring breeze, but she has never looked at it inexplicably like this, as if she was examining a handicraft.

"What's your name? When we came in just now, why didn't we see your sign hanging at the door? Liu Yuzhang asked, Zige frowned, in order to avoid trouble, her and her mother's names have always been unknown.

"The little girl is vulgar, and the name is not worth the trouble of the son. I see that Childe's flask is empty, so why don't you let me go downstairs and add it to Childe. ”

Zige wanted to take the opportunity to retreat, but Liu Yuzhang refused to give in, pressing the body of the pot with his hand, unwilling to give in. Zige was determined to win, and reached out to the acupuncture point on his elbow, which she would only do when she was fighting with others. Liu Yuzhang's arm was sore, his hand was slightly relaxed, and Zige took the wine jug away.

"Thank you Liu Gongzi for your advice."

As soon as Zige's voice fell, he felt that this sentence seemed familiar, and Liu Yuzhang also showed surprise.

"You ......"

"I wonder if the son invites Hongshang upstairs, do you want to listen to the music?" Seeing that the two looked different, Hongshang took over the conversation in a timely manner, "Hongshang has occasionally had a song these days, and its rhythm is exquisite, which can be appreciated by the son." ”

Lu Junyi seemed to be very happy to see Liu Yuzhang deflated, and changed the topic with a smile: "Please ask the girl to play a clear song, let me feast my ears again." ”

The red dress sat down gracefully, stroking the piano and singing. Zige went straight out the door. After adding wine, she asked another sister to send it up, and she didn't go back to see Liu Yuzhang's face.

At night, Hongshang suddenly came to visit, and the night dew was heavy, but she was only wearing a gauze dress and holding a gilded invitation in her hand. "Today, Mr. Lu gave me an invitation, saying that he was holding a banquet in Mr. Zhao Yu's mansion in the middle of August, and wanted to invite me to join the fun."

"Isn't that what you want? They must be a big family, and my sister can take this opportunity to redeem herself and leave the house. ”

Zige invited her into the house and made her tea.

"It's just...... Liu Gongzi indicated that he wanted to invite you to go with him. Seeing Zige's reluctant expression, Hongshang was a little embarrassed, "Zige, they are the sons of powerful people in Beijing, my aunt said that they can't be offended." ”

"You know that my mother has always disliked me showing up. What's more, this banquet is still in Zhao Yu's mansion, and I have always disliked the son of the Zhao family. Zige said disdainfully. Zhao Yu's family is rich, and she is also considered a rich party in Changzhou, she is a frequent visitor to the music square, and she accepted Cui Qiao as a concubine, but she has never liked cold men.

"In the past few days, many people have entered the city, and it is reported that Nanzhao sent a delegation to Beijing, and they also passed through here, presumably the two sons came to welcome the mission." Hongshang lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then persuaded, "Even if my sister asks you to go with me, you can also take the opportunity to take a look at what the younger generations who are surging in the wind are like." ”

"Zige thanked my sister for the invitation first." Although Zige was a little moved, he still didn't agree immediately, "I still need to discuss it with my mother again." ”

"Good. It's late at night, so let's rest early. Hongshang smiled slightly, said goodbye and left. When Zige sent her out, he vaguely saw a red mark on her back passing by, and when Zige wanted to take a closer look, the red dress had already gone away.
