Chapter 16 Glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine
The lights came on, and the huge city was darkened.
For the wealthy of this era, at this moment, the wonderful nightlife slowly kicked off.
The two strings of red lanterns hanging on the two tall bamboo poles in front of the gatehouse of Yihong Mansion were also lit up early, swaying slightly in the breeze, as if beckoning.
The Xianyin Pavilion on the second floor of Yihong Building, this is a special room belonging to Fan Duoer.
The window lattice is half-open, the red gauze dances, and the tea fragrance fills the nose.
"Jiangnan month, the night is full of West Building.
β¦β¦ Dangui doesn't know how to shake off hatred, Su'e should believe goodbye to sorrow.
Heaven and earth are long and long......"
Fan Duo'er whispered the two poems in front of her, her eyebrows raised lightly, and she raised her head after a few breaths, "Duo'er has really had good luck recently, and she got Zhang Gongzi's Qingpingle a few days ago. Linjiang Dragon Boat Festival, today I have to look at Jiangnan and Nangezi two wonderful works, thanks to the love of all the sons, this is the blessing of Duoer...... It's just that I don't know who wrote these two poems? β
Fan Duoer is very excited in her heart, a good word is extremely important to her, she is the Oiran of Yihong Mansion, she has amazing singing skills, but she also needs to be the best word in the world.
These two poems are compared to Zhang Wenhan's Qingpingle. Linjiang Dragon Boat Festival is more than that, especially Wangjiangnan, she likes it more. She believes that if these two lyrics are sung, her worth will definitely be one step higher.
Sitting in front of the tea table are the four great talents of Linjiang.
Zhang Wenhan, Liu Jingxing, Tang Shuyu, and Yu Yunqi.
Liu Jingxing took the teacup and drank it all, with a wry smile on his face, "Miss Duo'er, these two poems were not written by the four of us. β
Fan Duoer looked up at Liu Jingxing, with some surprise in her eyes, and asked, "This Linjiang...... Who else could have composed these two poems? β
"You know." Zhang Wenhan stood up with a folding fan and walked to the window, where the slowly flowing river water was outside.
"He's a small official Fu." Zhang Wenhan turned around, and the cup in Fan Duoer's hand fell to the ground with a "ding" and shattered.
"Fu Xiaoguan?" Fan Duoer's face was full of surprise, "Zhang Gongzi said that he was joking, Fu Xiaoguan wrote the lyrics?" Hehe......"
Fan Duo'er sneered and lowered her head to make tea, "If Fu Gongzi is generous, Duo'er will naturally believe it, but if he writes lyrics, Duo'er can't imagine it." β
For Fu Xiaoguan, Fan Duoer is of course extremely familiar. This guy is the financier of Yihong Mansion, and he spends a lot of money just for Fan Duoer to smile, not to mention that this guy once threatened everywhere to marry Fan Duoer as his wife!
It's not much of a hate, and certainly not a liking.
In Fan Duoer's heart, although his future is vague, there is also an outline, redeem himself in the future, and then marry a certain talented man as a concubine, cook a pot of wine at dusk, you compose the lyrics and I play and sing, Qin Se and Ming, this is roughly the story of a talented and beautiful woman.
Fu Xiaoguan ...... This guy didn't come back for more than two months, and Fan Duoer naturally knew about the incident he provoked Dong Shulan in Linjiang Building, but she didn't take it to heart when she thought she was recuperating at home.
But today, I heard the four great talents of Linjiang say that these two poems were written by Fu Xiaoguan...... This is kind of ridiculous.
Zhang Wenhan shook the folding fan and walked back, "Miss Duo'er, don't believe it, I don't need to lie to you, these two poems are really written by Fu Xiaoguan." I'm going to Beijing, and I can't lose one of the four great talents in Linjiang because of me, so Fu Xiaoguan is one of the four great talents in Linjiang in the future. β
He ...... Is this really what he wrote? Fan Duoer looked up and asked again.
Zhang Wenhan nodded and said with a smile: "Can Miss Duo'er play and sing one or two?" β
"Please ask the four sons Rong Duoer to be quiet, Cuihua, and serve wine!"
β¦β¦
The door of the Fu Mansion in Xishui Lane opened, and a carriage drove out.
Bai Yulian lightly raised the horsewhip in one hand and twisted a wine naan in the other, and when she drank it from time to time, the whip did not fall once.
Fu Xiaoguan sat in the carriage and held a beautiful red bottle in his hand, and next to it was a beautiful small box, which contained a cup made of glassβFu Xiaoguan named it a crystal cup.
He was going to Linjiang Academy, to deliver a bottle of wine, and begged for a few words.
The curtains of the carriage were opened, and the streets gradually became lively, with shouting, laughter, and noise...... Fu Xiaoguan watched quietly, a smile on his face.
He liked the sight, which was difficult to appreciate in his previous life.
Thinking about waiting for the wine to be done, go out for a walk in the evening, find a night market stall, get a few braised vegetables, and have a few bottles of beer...... Come to two or two small wines, it is very pleasant.
The carriage gradually moved, the bustle gradually lightened, and this was to the riverside.
The river breeze is just right, with a faint smell of fragrant powder in the wind, and there is a brilliant pavilion in front of it, and there is a thin silk bamboo sound in the pavilion.
Intermittent, ethereal, as if in the clouds, it didn't take long to be in front of you.
Yi Hong Mansion!
Fu Xiaoguan looked at the big red plaque and smiled indifferently, and the carriage drove by.
The girl named Fan Duoer was singing at the piano in the Xianyin Pavilion at this moment.
On the girl's body, the original Fu Xiaoguan smashed tens of thousands of taels of silver, but in the end he didn't even touch his hand.
What the hell! Fu Xiaoguan laughed to himself and shook his head.
The prosperity fell behind the carriage and shattered to the ground, Fu Xiaoguan gathered his mind and looked at the faint lights in the distance.
Linjiang Academy is in those few lights, hidden among the pines and cypresses, dark and quiet.
A small building, a lotus pond on one side, two chairs, Qin Bingzhong and Dong Shulan sat opposite each other, except for the occasional sound of turning the pages, there were only a few frogs in the lotus pond and the whispers of summer insects in the forest.
Dong Shulan seemed a little tired, she rubbed her forehead, looked at Elder Qin and asked, "This is going to Beijing, does Grandpa Qin have anything to bring to Uncle Qin?" β
Qin Lao shook his head, "It's my grandson Qin Chengye...... You tell him that the school palace will take a leave of absence and bring his sister Ruoxue to Linjiang. This kid doesn't do his job all day long, so he has to let me, an old man, come to ****. β
Dong Shulan pursed her lips and smiled, "Brother Chengye is not unprofessional, he likes knives and guns, and he is determined to be in the army...... A good man has ambitions in all directions, and that is also a way to make contributions. β
"Hey......" Qin Lao sighed, put down the book, and said slowly: "I don't know, but I have already lost a grandson, and I don't want to lose another grandson." This is a bit selfish, but my Qin family Ding is not prosperous, and seeing that the north is not very peaceful, I don't want him to have any more mistakes, and the white-haired people send the black-haired people...... After all, it hurts. β
Dong Shulan nodded, was silent for a moment, and said: "I will also talk to Brother Chengye more about this matter, he understands things and will understand your good intentions." β
Qin Lao looked at the starry sky, his expression was a little lonely, and after a few breaths, he reined in his thoughts and said with a smile: "Today's Linjiang Tower, you have made the Fu family kid famous." β
Dong Shulan smiled, "What this person thinks in his head is different from ordinary people, I also want to see if he really becomes a talented man in Linjiang, whether it will change." β
At this moment, Xiaoqi walked over and said in a low voice: "Master Qin, Miss Yu, Fu Xiaoguan asks to see." β
Qin Lao and Dong Shulan glanced at each other, Qin Lao laughed, Dong Shulan didn't know why the indifference in her heart rippled like ripples, and she was actually slightly nervous.
"Ask him to come in." Qin Lao raised his hand and waved, "Xishan elixir has indeed overpowered Tianxiang wine, let me see what about the fragrant spring and heavenly alcohol he said." β
β¦β¦
Fu Xiaoguan walked in with Xiaoqi.
He screws a bottle in his left hand and holds a box in his right hand.
"Good evening Old Qin, good evening Miss Dong......" Fu Xiaoguan put the two things in his hand on the table, and said: "Your place is so good, sit and listen to the sounds of nature, bow down to the lotus buds, look up and the stars are ethereal, not only have a literary atmosphere, but also a little fairy spirit." β
"You kid, you can't see that your mouth is very sweet, sit and sit."
Qin Lao smiled and beckoned Fu Xiaoguan to take a seat, Dong Shulan also glanced at Fu Xiaoguan with a smile, did not talk, and twisted the pot to make tea.
"Old Qin, take a look at my artifact."
Fu Xiaoguan handed the red bottle of golden orchids to Qin Bingzhong with both hands, Qin Bingzhong took a look, the workmanship of this thing is exquisite, but it is much worse than the utensils produced by the famous kiln, this kid takes this thing...... He shook the bottle, and there was liquid running in it.
"Wine?"
"Yes, this bottle is filled with celestial alcohol, please Qin Lao to taste it."
Saying that, Fu Xiaoguan opened the box, and there was a red silk in the box, and a slightly strange instrument was lying on the red silk.
"This is a wine glass, but Xiaosheng made it specifically for this wine."
Qin Bingzhong pinched the small wine glass in his hand and took a look, this utensil is good, made of glass...... This stuff doesn't come cheap.
"Serving wine in this bottle, drinking in this cup, what does Elder Qin think?"
"Although this bottle is not of the highest quality, it is also exquisite, this cup is ...... It's not ordinary people who can afford it. β
Fu Xiaoguan smiled and said to the little flag behind Dong Shulan: "Please do the girl a favor and clean this cup, thank you." β
He turned his head again, looked at Qin Lao, and said with a smile: "Qin Lao, do you think that people who can afford to drink Tian Xiang can afford to buy this cup?" β
Qin Lao thought about it, Tian Xiang was already noble, and it was unusual to be able to drink it, and those who could drink Tian Xiang would naturally not care about the price of this cup.
"I came here today to ask Qin Lao Pin to taste my heavenly alcohol to see if it is comparable to Tianxiang."
Taking the cup handed by Xiaoqi, Fu Xiaoguan unscrewed the cork, a wisp of fine spring flowed down and poured into the cup, and a rich aroma of wine wafted in the night breeze.
"Elder Qin, please try."
Qin Bingzhong picked up the wine glass, reflecting the light, the crystal wine in the crystal wine glass rippled slightly, just by looking at it, it seemed that this wine was extraordinary.
He put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, then took a sip, lingered for a moment, and drank all the wine in his glass.
Dong Shulan looked at it like this, feeling a little nervous, she hadn't drunk it yet, and she didn't know if it was as Fu Xiaoguan said, she could really compete with Tianxiang.
