Volume 1 Above the Temple Chapter 81 Going to the Banquet (4)
The banquet hall on the third floor of Tianxiangju is very large and luxurious, the banquet hall is square as a whole, the easternmost place is a raised stage, and the west side is the staircase that leads to a mouth, there is a huge eight-fold screen at the staircase to isolate the banquet hall from the staircase, and the ground is spread with a precious cashmere blanket that is two fingers thick, and there are nine small tables in the center, and the distance between each table is almost three feet away...... All kinds of delicate tea and snacks have already been placed on the table, and the beautiful and clean people holding various musical instruments in the red sleeves have been preparing on the stage for a long time.
As soon as Mu Qiuhuang and the others came out of the staircase, they were served by the girls who had been waiting here for a long time, and they took off their outer clothes and put on soft boots...... The room is warm as spring but not boring at all, and I feel very comfortable and happy wearing only a single coat inside.
Although the banquet hall on the third floor is large, there are not many guests, except for Ji Yan, the host of today's banquet, there are only Mu Qiuhuang and their seven princes and brothers, and there is also a left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, Lord Yan, and the rest are only the more than ten beautiful and clean people invited from the red sleeves on the stage, and the girls who are sitting next to each of them who are responsible for serving them, but I don't know where these girls who serve them are Ji Yan? After all, it is well known that the red sleeves do not sell their bodies...... Ling Hujie and the relatives of the other princes' children were all left in the hall on the first floor.
Ji Yan naturally sat on the main seat, and the other princes and disciples also found a table to sit on, but naturally vacated the first table on the left hand side of the main seat, Mu Qiuhuang originally wanted to give up this position to Yan Kun to sit, but then Yan Kun resolutely refused, only willing to sit on the last table, a few humble times, Mu Qiuhuang was no longer polite, and sat directly on the first table on the left hand side of the main seat.
After everyone sat down, the sound of silk and bamboo on the stage gradually rose...... At this point, the banquet officially began.
The banquet started, and the stage was babbling and purple...... The well-trained servants in the building also lightly brought the wine given by the little emperor and the dishes carefully cooked by the chef of Tianxiangju, and the girls sitting next to them were also silent and speechless, and began to pour wine for the nobles who were responsible for serving.
Among these people here, except for Yan Kunyan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, who only wants to leave his name in the annals of history and does not allow himself to have the slightest stain, he is strict with himself and does not stain the wind and moon...... The rest of the people are all children of anointed rice who have been rolling in the Fengyue Field, staying in the Qinglou at night, buying beauties for a smile, and this kind of absurd thing is commonplace for them...... It's just that all of a sudden, these people are in the same room, plus the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites who is clean and self-conscious is sitting on the side, so he was a little overwhelmed for a while.
When the wine and food were not served again, Ji Yan suddenly stood up with a glass of wine and said: "Thank you brothers and Lord Yan for being able to come to this banquet with a face...... Today, we have a fate to meet and get acquainted, which is really a happy thing in life, come, brothers drink this cup ......"
Everyone picked up the wine glass and drank it all with Ji Yan, and after drinking the first glass of wine, Ji Yan sat down, poured himself another glass of wine, and invited Lord Yan Kunyan, who was sitting at the end, to invite him...... At the beginning of the main house, the atmosphere instantly became lively, and for a while, it was a series of wine orders, drinking and talking, and even began to put his hands on the girl next to him, pinching his chest and touching his buttocks...... After three rounds of drinking, the sons and brothers also became familiar with each other and became close to each other, and started a new round of drinking and blowing water, and they actually gave birth to a feeling of being familiar at first sight and hating each other.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is easy to understand, these people are actually the same kind of people, although some people are not valued by the family, but the monthly money they should have in the Hou Mansion will not be less at all, and then what can these boring second ancestors who don't worry about money do? What I did all day long was nothing more than holding Huang Qingcang, fighting cocks and betting on dice, and lingering on the fence...... These absurd things really prove the old saying that "like gathers like, people divide by groups".
……
"Lord Yan, I would like to give you a drink." Mu Qiuhuang picked up his wine glass and saluted Yan Kun from afar.
Yan Kun nodded to Mu Qiuhuang in thanks, and after taking the wine glass and drinking it all, he also shook the mouth of the cup towards Mu Qiuhuang as if he was provocative. Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help laughing when he saw this, he really didn't expect that this Zuo waiter of the Ministry of Etiquette, who was in charge of etiquette, would have such a funny side, and he also picked up the wine glass and drank it to Yan Kun, and then poured a full glass of wine to salute each other again, Yan Kun picked up the wine glass and drank it all again...... When the others saw Mu Qiuhuang and Yan Kun starting to fight, they also stopped what they were doing, and looked over in unison and began to cheer for the two.
The two raised their glasses to each other, and then drank them all, so repeatedly fighting for more than ten glasses of wine, Mu Qiuhuang's face was already flushed, he put down the wine glass tremblingly, leaned on the table and waved his hand at Yan Kun, and said vaguely: "No, I can't drink it......"
Yan Kun looked at Mu Qiuhuang and confessed, a smug look appeared on his face, he staggered up on the table, looked around at everyone drunkenly, and asked, "Who else?" ”
Yan Kun's sentence "Who else?" As soon as he exited, he shouted at everyone present at the same time. And who are these boys and buddies here? They are all masters who look at face more than the sky, and they don't lose if they lose, and when they hear Yan Kun's words, they can still calm down? All of a sudden, they were in a commotion...... Yun Xiao from the Marquis of Yunjiu Mansion was the first to stand up, raised his wine glass and shouted at Yan Kun, "Lord Yan, I'll drink with you." ”
"Good, good coming! It's just that Yun Gongzi doesn't wait to lie down like Mu Gongzi......" Yan Kun said to Yun Xiaole.
"What did Lord Yan say? How could I be like ......" Yun Xiao stopped abruptly when he said this, and forcibly suppressed the bad words that he was about to blurt out, and subconsciously glanced at Mu Qiuhuang, and when he saw that Mu Qiuhuang was still lying on the table and was indifferent, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and continued: "Is the amount of alcohol okay?" You'll have to drink it to know ......."
It seems that Mu Qiuhuang's actions in the fiefdom of the Marquis of Haihun still left a deep impression on these concubines, so much so that Yun Xiao didn't even dare to say anything contemptible.
"Good! Yun Gongzi said it well...... Come on, do it! Yan Kun praised Yun Jiu, picked up his wine glass and drank with Yun Jiu.
The two of them stood there this time and began to fight for wine, with a heroic atmosphere, which was even more lively than when Mu Qiuhuang and Yan Kun competed just now.
All of a sudden, even the eyes of the girls around everyone were attracted to the past, the youngest Su Ruoyun was there shouting "come on" for Yun Xiao, Wu Bi'an and Ximen Dingding were also looking at the two of them intently, and couldn't help but pick up the wine glass and secretly sighed, ready to wait for the two of them to fall to the ground, and then go up to challenge the winner...... Compared to them, the rest of them seemed a little calm.
Ji Yan looked at Mu Qiuhuang, who was motionless on the table, and then looked at Yan Kun, who was standing there fighting with Yun Xiao...... After thinking for a while, I couldn't help but smile, picked up the wine glass and continued to pour myself a drink.
Liu Yiyong was also stunned when he saw this, frowned, first looked at Yan Kun who was fighting with Yun Xiao, then looked at Mu Qiuhuang's body, and finally glanced at Ji Yan, and after seeing the expression on Ji Yan's face, his brows were also stretched, and he picked up a peanut with chopsticks and sent it into the building, chewing it with relish.
Ram Tian also first looked at Yun Xiao and Yan Kun who were fighting wine, then looked at Mu Qiuhuang lying on the table, then glanced at Liu Yiyong, and finally looked at Ji Yan who was pouring himself a drink, so he kept silent with concern, he was not interested in the two people who were fighting wine in the field, and the ultimate purpose of his coming here was just to make friends with Mu Qiuhuang, the son of Beiyu...... It's just that now in this matter, Ram Tian is also a little difficult, and he began to think: "Will you go to get close to Ji Yan of Xiliehou Mansion later?" Or do you want to find Mu Qiuhuang from the Beiyu Marquis Mansion? ”…… Judging from Ji Yan's attitude towards the ram at the beginning, the ram thought that Ji Yan didn't look down on him, so he broke off that thought, and just wanted to climb the high branch of the Beiyu prince. But now, just an hour before the banquet began, Ji Yan also ordered someone to send him an invitation sticker...... From this point of view, Ji Yan's previous attitude towards himself is likely to be deliberate, in order to test himself? …… Thinking of this, the ram is even more dilemma.
……
With a "poof", Yun Xiao fell to the ground drunk, he had never drunk Master Yan Kunyan.
But fortunately, he has descendants after losing one...... As soon as Yun Xiao fell to the ground, Wu Bi'an went up with a wine glass, and Su Ruoyun and Ximen Dingding saw that they didn't go up first, and they were depressed for a while, but the two of them started to fight together.
Although Yan Kun was already drunk and hazy, and his body was unstable on his feet, but in the face of Wu Bi'an's latecomers, he was still arrogant and dry, and those who came accepted all the orders...... Time passed minute by minute, and seeing that Wu Bi'an was about to be defeated, Ximen Dingding and Su Ruoyun also picked up the wine jar and entered it...... After some mismatching, the wine team composed of Wu Bi'an, Ximen Dingding, and Su Ruoyun finally defeated Lord Yan Kun, who overturned two sons one after another, Lord Yan Kun didn't say anything this time? actually lay on the ground and fell asleep, and the consequence of drinking Lord Yan was that several of them were also drunk.
Seeing the wine feast gradually decaying...... But as Yan Kun's snoring sounded, new changes began to take place.
It turned out that Mu Qiuhuang, who was still motionless on the table just now, suddenly woke up again when he heard Yan Kun's snoring.
