Volume 1 Fangzhou Fengyun Chapter 83 Niangniang arrived
Following Chai Zongxun, this time he didn't go the wrong way, and everyone came to the banquet venue smoothly.
The sun gradually set in the west, and after Chai Zongxun brought a few brothers to the scene, many guests were already seated at the banquet site. Seeing that the host arrived, the guests got up one after another to salute Chai Zongxun, and after Chai Zongxun returned the salute one by one, he sat down in his seat, and Li Junwen and others also scattered to find a seat to sit down.
Li Junwen observed the scene, the banquet was a separate seat system, that is, one person and one short table, and the banquet of the upper class at this time also followed the habit of the Tang Dynasty, kneeling on the futon. The same food and drink are placed on the low table, and the guests eat their own food. There were two rows of low tables in the huge open space, which stretched to a few steps, and on the steps was the seat of the master's house, where Chai Zongxun was sitting at this time. It's just that his seat is not in the middle, but slightly to the left, and there is a wide low table in the middle, which is estimated to be the protagonist of today's birthday banquet, Fu Niangniang's seat. The middle of the banquet hall is empty, and it is estimated that it will be used for a song and dance performance or a barbecue or something.
Li Junwen found the figures of the old Taoist priest and Li Yanbiao among the guests, so he walked over and sat down in front of a low table next to the old Taoist priest. Accustomed to sitting in chairs, he felt that this kneeling way was simply torturing his legs, and the weight of his whole body was pressed on his legs, and it was estimated that his legs and feet would be amputated if he ate a meal. Fortunately, later generations accompanied the leading guests in and out of the Japanese restaurant from time to time, and experienced this sitting posture, and he was still able to accept it in a short time.
It stands to reason that Li Yanbiao, as the nominal security manager of Zheng Wangfu, is responsible for today's security work, and besides, the guests who came today are either rich or noble, and Li Yanbiao, a small commander of the palace guards, is not qualified to attend the banquet. But he was stained with his son's light today, Chai Zongxun specially invited him to participate in the banquet, for which Li Yanbiao deliberately changed into new clothes at the bottom of the box, and a large piece of black pressure sat next to the thin old Taoist priest, looking particularly wise and martial.
The old Taoist priest was sitting upright, and when he saw Li Junwen coming, he didn't talk to him, but just nodded, but his cheeks shook from time to time, and he looked at it from a distance and thought he was reciting some incantation. But Li Junwen knew at a glance that this old man might be stealing something in his mouth. Sure enough, Li Junwen looked into the old Taoist's arms from the side, and the old Taoist priest's hands were holding a chicken leg from nowhere, and there was a row of distinct tooth marks on the chicken leg......
"Hey, Master, didn't you just go to discuss with the prince? Why did you come so early? Li Junwen said curiously.
The old Taoist priest was a little embarrassed by Li Junwen's staring, turned his face sideways, fully mobilized Zou Baba's apple muscles, and smiled at Li Junwen slightly, with chicken in his mouth, and spoke slurredly: "I discussed with the prince just now, I used my brain too much, and I was a little hungry for the teacher, so I ended the ...... early."
It's really a dog, I only ate two chickens at noon, and now I'm hungry again before it's dark. Alas, the master was unlucky, Li Junwen covered his face with his hands, so he didn't see it......
Pan Weizheng's seat is adjacent to Pan Mei, opposite Li Junwen. Duan Suying also came to sit next to Li Junwen. Because the identity on the greeting sticker he handed over was more noble, the person who arranged the seat ranked his seat higher, but he didn't know the people around him, so he simply occupied the seat next to Li Junwen and came to be neighbors with Li Junwen, anyway, he just came to eat.
"Kaifeng Mansion Yin and Zhongshu Order, Zhao Daxiang Gong came to congratulate him on his birthday!"
"Xingyuan Yin is also the envoy of Shannan West Road, and Zhao Xiaoxianggong came to congratulate him on his birthday!"
When everyone was bored, the people who received the palace sang about the arrival of the Zhao brothers. Li Junwen wanted to laugh when he heard it, did he play mahjong, and he was still a big man and a little man......
I saw the Zhao brothers walking over slowly, enjoying everyone's greetings and greeting other guests. Zhao Guangmei still looks like a swinger, and Zhao Guangyi is still dressed as a Confucian scholar, judging the two of them when he was drugged in the small black room before.
"Hey, what are you dragging, it's not a dirty thing!" Duan Suying looked at Zhao Guangyi, who was stealing the limelight, with a look of disgust and said.
Li Junwen glared at him and motioned for him not to talk nonsense.
Chai Zongxun hurriedly came down to salute, and the two sides were polite for a while, and then they sat down. The Zhao brothers have prominent statuses, so the seat they sit on is also closest to the main seat.
"Mother has arrived!" With a sharp shout, two little eunuchs appeared on the road at the end of the short with dust in their hands, followed by two rows of beautiful maidservants, and then a beautiful figure appeared in front of everyone. Fu Niangniang, dressed in gorgeous costumes, frequently nodded to the guests on both sides.
It was only at this time that Li Junwen saw Fu Niangniang's face clearly, and he didn't see it clearly in a hurry before. Fu Niangniang, who has put on makeup, looks graceful and luxurious, has a good face, and has an outstanding temperament, but no matter how you look at it, she doesn't look like a woman of Chai Zongxun's age, she looks like she is twenty-five or sixteen years old at most. Could it be that the ancients also had plastic surgery and beautification? The well-proportioned figure with decent clothing, a good mature young woman's style, makes people look excited, leaving a pair of straight eyes and a sound of swallowing saliva everywhere they pass, and some gaffe guests have to cover their faces with their sleeves to hide their embarrassment. Even Li Yanbiao looked straight in his eyes, how could he have the opportunity to see Fu Niangniang so closely on weekdays, this smile made him fascinated. Li Junwen looked at his father's ugly appearance and decided to ask Li Yanbiao to increase his pocket money, otherwise he would go back at night to make a small report to his mother......
It is estimated that only the old Taoist priest can not be tempted, in his eyes, this Fu Niangniang may not be as tempting as the chicken leg in his hand. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, the old man covered it with his sleeve again and took a bite of the chicken leg in his hand......
If Ye Shiso is like an unripe green apple, then this Fu Niangniang is like a ripe red apple, the flesh, thick, juicy, and the kind that will fall from the tree at any moment, mouth-watering, tempting others to pick it. Such a woman, no wonder Zhao Guangyi was obsessed with her heart, regardless of her identity and ethics, and did not hesitate to get her under the drug.
Li Junwen thought to himself, fortunately, Du Wencai is not here, otherwise would he be desperate to start Fu Niangniang's idea? Looking back, Du Wencai was abolished by himself, and even if he had the heart, he was powerless......
Fu Niangniang kept nodding slightly to the guests on both sides all the way, and when she came to Li Junwen, she actually looked at Li Junwen a few more times, with a puzzled look in her eyes, and Li Junwen lowered her head weakly. Fortunately, Fu Niangniang just glanced at it a few times and walked over, and Li Junwen felt relieved.
When passing in front of the Zhao brothers, Fu Niangniang showed an expression of disgust and anger towards Zhao Guangyi, but she quickly changed her smile and saluted the Zhao brothers. A trace of embarrassment flashed on Zhao Guangyi's face, and then he returned the favor with a smile.
Chai Zongxun respectfully greeted Fu Niangniang on the main seat, looking at the large group of guests at the scene, there was a faint feeling in his heart that he was looking down on the ministers in the main hall when he was the emperor before, but that feeling was getting farther and farther away from him.
With a sigh in his heart, Chai Zongxun picked up the wine glass on the table, coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and when the scene was quiet, he stood up and prepared to give a speech, but found that there was still an empty seat near the main seat, frowned, looked around, and asked in a somewhat unhappy tone: "Why didn't you see Du Zhizhou?" ”
At this time, a big white fat man stood up from a low table, bowed down and said to Chai Zongxun: "Return to the prince, Lord Du, he ......."
"Lord Du, the governor of Fangzhou, came to congratulate him on his birthday!" At this moment, the roll call interrupted the big white fat man's words with a chorus.
