Chapter 173: Qin Huai Hui (II)
Fan Jin already knew the purpose of this banquet, and for the Zhang family, it was not only to see Lang Jun for the good sisters, but also to let the men of the two parties get to know each other and be friends. After all www.biquge.info she and Miss Xu Liu are good sisters, if Liu Kanzhi and Wei Yongnian become friends, it will naturally be a good story.
Unexpectedly, Liu Kanzhi missed the appointment, and this matter was not done. Now it's Fan Jin meeting with the other party, which is a bit nondescript. Fortunately, Zhang's is a character who is good at socializing, and in three or two sentences, this embarrassment was covered up, and no one felt inappropriate.
Li Zhixiao was a guest in the Wei Mansion as a food companion, and his social skills were a means of eating, and he was exquisite in all directions, and he could be perfunctory in any aspect. belongs to the kind of character who can make the table lively even if there is only one person, so he can naturally experience this embarrassment and know how to resolve it.
Although Wei Yongnian is his nephew, his style and personality are completely different from his uncle, he is very introverted, and he is also very shy, he has been silent for a long time, and he can't say a few whole words, which is very different from the image of a chic genius in Fan Jin's imagination. When he looked at Zhang, the latter was generous and didn't take it seriously, but it was the big man who blushed and hurriedly turned his head, full of the image of a wooden gentleman. I don't know how such a person can get a white rich beauty like Miss Wei Guogong.
After a while, Zhang Maoxiu also ran over from that side, the Zhang family brothers and sisters looked very similar, he was also a very handsome face, coupled with his status and wealth, it is said that this kind of occasion is the most popular kind of guest. But at this time, his face was flushed, and his expression was very embarrassed, so he knew that he seemed to be very embarrassed over there. As soon as he sat down, he said:
"It's not a word, it's really a word. This woman in Jiangning's courtyard is much more powerful than Changsha's, she is very bold, what is the slow sound, she is simply a female ......"
Jiangning's Qinglou industry tops the southeast, and there is no shortage of women of all types. If you want to find a talented woman, there must be a lot more than Huguang. However, people like Xu Weizhi, if you want him to make peace with a really talented girl, it belongs to each other's crimes. Therefore, most of the people who interact with him are women with good looks and excellent skills, and their personalities are also a little bold, and they are not taboo when they laugh.
Zhang Maoxiu is not in the north of the place, but his temperament is different from Zhang Sixiu, he belongs to the type of honest duty, and he only drinks tea and chats when he goes to Qinglou, and there is no such thing as extinguishing candles and staying fashionable. The people who come and go are the kind of talented women who are beautiful in the Qing Building, everyone sings and sings, and then they just listen to the piano and play chess, and touch their hands is considered to be overstepping, and they can't resist the kind of bold women who dare to touch him and tell meat jokes without changing their faces.
Zhang smiled and asked the younger brother to sit down, shook his head and said, "Xu Weizhi is deliberately manipulating you, arranging for such a woman to see your jokes, and wait for my sister to help you get angry." ”
Li Zhixiao said with a smile: "The young lord of my family has also been stuffy these days, and several acquaintances don't dare to come out, and he can't find anything to do himself." Today's old friend came to visit, and made a joke on a whim, don't be surprised by the third son. ”
"Don't dare to be, it's not once that Brother Xu jokes with me, I'm used to it." Zhang Maoxiu smiled very honestly and talked to the others again.
In the winter, when the river is cold, the seats are open in the cabin, which is a large cabin with a partition in the middle, like a small room. Miss Xu Liu and a group of women were seated in the cabin of the head of the house, and Zhang and the others were in the cabin of the head of the house.
The Xu family's small house sent the wine and food up at a low price, the wine was sealed with mud, and as soon as the seal was opened, there was a sweet and mellow fragrance wafting out, so that people could know that it was a good wine when they smelled it. Zhang said: "This is ...... Full of incense? ”
Li Zhixiao nodded and said, "Miss is so knowledgeable, this is the full hall of incense." The recipe of this imperial wine is still handed down when the Wumiao Nanxing was lucky, our own food and our own workshop, to ensure the real materials, although it is not as good as the above immortal brew, it is also considered to be the only one in Jiangning City, and it is not worse than Shao wine. It's just one section, this wine has a lot of stamina, but you have to drink less. This altar has been full of incense for ten years, and it was drunk by Jiangning Zhenshou He Gonggong, and others can't enjoy it, if it is not a friend of a confidant, the young lord is reluctant to take it out for hospitality. This dish with wine is even more rare, and it is a chef specially invited from Guangdong. ”
"Wuzhong cuisine is famous all over the world, why did you go to Guangdong to invite a chef?"
"The people in the family went to Guangzhou and ate a banquet, and it is said that what is the name of Yipinxiang? The person Fan Gongzi knew, it was Xu Yin. He knew that the young lord had the best appetite, so he specially hired two chefs from Guangzhou to cook Guangzhou's specialty dishes, and the young lord really had the right appetite when he ate it. One of these dishes is Fan Fish, and the other is a pot. ”
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Shi had already smiled slightly, and said to Fan Jin: "Brother Fan, this can be regarded as finding the root, if this dish is not in the right taste, the little sister will settle accounts with you." ”
Li Zhixiao asked, "Where do you start with this?" ”
Fan Jin smiled, "It's not a secret, Yipinxiang is Xiaosheng's own business, and this Fan Yu was also created by Xiaosheng, named after his surname." ”
"I see, I see, but I am old and ignorant. Come on, punish yourself with a drink. ”
Naturally, the dishes will not be a fan fish and a pot of one product, and the dishes will be sent one after another, and the two fresh rivers will occupy the mainstream, and other meat such as goose, sheep, donkey, and pig will also be served one by one. The heat rose, and Zhang's style went to the white fox fur outside, revealing the red satin arrow sleeves inside, adding a bit of heroism.
It's just that Wei Sheng's head lowered even more when he saw this scene, and his face became even redder. The chopsticks trembled a few times while picking up the vegetables, and a piece of meat fell into the shabu-shabu.
Li Zhixiao laughed a few times and hurriedly said:
"Nian'er's family is not having a good time, his father is a private school teacher, in order to provide him with education, he has almost exhausted his financial resources, and he is naturally strict in supervising his homework. So this kid can read, but he is a little afraid of life. Or wait until my parents pass away, with my uncle for two years, to see the world, open your eyes, to put it in the past, I'm afraid I will be ashamed to say a word. ”
Li Zhixiao hurriedly explained for his nephew, Wei Yongnian only lowered his head and said ashamed, and he was getting farther and farther away from the Zhang family. But listening to Li Zhixiao say this, this scholar also makes people feel cute, and Yu Qimu can accept it. Thinking that Miss Xu Liu can take a fancy to him, most of them are inseparable from this simplicity.
Fan Jin said: "Speaking of which, I am also from a poor background, and the sun and moon in my family are worse than Brother Wei, at least I don't have an uncle to rely on, and it all depends on the hard work of my old mother in Gaotang to allow me to study." ”
"It turns out that Fan Gongzi is also from a poor background? Heroes don't ask where they come from, it doesn't matter if they come from poverty, as long as they are motivated, they can always soar. The court is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is the ambition of the world's scholars. Fan Gongzi heard that he had won Yakui, and this time he entered Beijing to be named on the gold list, and he has a bright future, which is not comparable to his years. Although he studied hard, it was a pity that he was not in a good position, and now he is only a fourth-class student, so he really can't be mentioned. Nian'er, remember to ask Mr. Fan for advice, ask for a few window manuscripts to study for good students, and strive for the next subject to be solved, and your father and mother can also be blind under Jiuquan. ”
"What my uncle taught me was that my nephew wrote it down."
"Don't say that, I'm not a Guangdong Yakui, we can't do culture and education in Guangdong, and the so-called township test is actually not much different from the Guangzhou government test. Nanzhili is prosperous in literature and education, and there are many talented people, and it is much more difficult to test for fame here than in Guangdong. Friend Wei's talent may be above the bottom. ”
Li Zhixiao smiled and said politely, and Zhang Maoxiu asked: "Elder Li, what kind of talent has we produced in Nanzhili in the past two years?" ”
"Yes, the most famous is Xie Yuan Gu Xiancheng of this subject. That Wenmo is really amazing, I have also read books for decades, but if you compare it with Gu Xian, you can't reach it. It's just that he left for Beijing, and now he can't see it. There are a few others, who also went to Beijing to take the exam, and the talented people who stayed in the city are the ones that the third prince knows. ”
There was music gradually wafting in in the distance, and there seemed to be a woman singing something, Li Zhixiao listened to it, and said with a smile: "The young lord must have ordered that garden again." Since I heard about the Peony Pavilion once, the young lord has never forgotten it. Today, Ge Laiguan was also invited, and he will definitely not be let go. ”
Zhang said with a smile: "Old Li knows, who is the hand of the Peony Pavilion?" ”
"This ...... It seems that he is also a talented man from Guangdong, and his name is ......"
Zhang looked back at the partition, the so-called partition is actually a screen, which can neither block the sound nor effectively block the sight. She slightly mentioned the tone and said, "It's the retreating son in front of you." He didn't just write about Qionglin, Fifteen Guan, Peony Pavilion, and the Yang family will ......"
Behind the screen, several girls had actually taken the opportunity to look outside, and talked about something in each other's ears, and the final questions were summarized to Miss Xu Liu. This temporary matchmaker had no choice but to give feedback on the information she had heard, and let the girls weigh it themselves.
These people are either rich or expensive, and they don't have to be rich to pick a good minister, but poor boys who have no money can only dream of marrying them. Most of the time, you can have no money, but you must have development potential, or you have enough resources to invest.
can become friends with the Zhang family, Miss Zhang personally came forward to talk about matchmaking, coupled with Fan Jin's own appearance and talent, among the several women in the cabin, there are already some people who are quite tempted.
It's not that they make their own decisions and things can be decided. But as long as I agree, and then go to the house to push a little, things will have eyebrows. As long as Fan Jin has no accidents in this subject, he will be able to be named on the gold list, and the daughter of the noble marrying Jinshi is a matter of course, and it is not a matter of who has wronged anyone.
Hearing that Fan Jin was doing business with some furniture, some women's eyes were a little brighter, and they whispered something, but they shook their heads desperately with their cheeks crimson as Miss Xu Liu said.
Before the table was opened, there was a knock on the cabin door, and two women stood outside, one was like Liang Pandi, with slender eyebrows and willow waist and snow skin, and her waist twisted when she walked, like a weak willow supporting the wind. A pink jacket skirt covered with a stone blue satin jacket. Although the age is not cardamom, but the beauty of life can be dressed up, and it looks bright, just like a ripe fruit, exuding an attractive aroma.
Next to her, there was a tall and long-legged woman, about the same height as Fan Jin, wearing a hood on her head and a peach-colored veil on her face, covering her face tightly, revealing only two apricot eyes. He wore a large red velvet cloak on his body, a pink tight-fitting backrest on the inside, a cross silk on his chest, and a pair of wrenched cloud-toed boots on his feet. If you bring a weapon, she is a woman who sells the rivers and lakes. The clothes are very tight, highlighting the proud figure to the fullest.
Li Zhixiao knew both of them, and when they saw it, they smiled and said, "Ma Siniang, Xue Wu, why didn't you come to us from the young lord's side?" ”
The older woman smiled and said: "There are enough young lords, and my daughter is not good at talking, so she just had a slow quarrel with Sansheng, and she didn't look at when it was. I'll bring her here to sit with the third son, what's the matter, Elder Li won't be unwelcome, right? ”
"What's that? The dignified martial champion please can't be invited, please sit down, please sit. ”
The older woman's beautiful eyes rolled and she said with a fake sneer: "What? Co-authoring is just welcoming Xiao Wu'er, no one welcomes me, right? Then I don't want to be suspicious of this, so I'll leave. ”
"Blame me, blame me! It's that I didn't say it clearly, we welcome the five girls, and Ma Siniang is even more welcome. I'll punish myself with a glass in a moment. ”
"I know this is the best Mandian incense, you just want to drink a few more glasses of wine, and use my name to cheat and eat, you are not young, and you are as unproductive as when you were young." As she spoke, the woman had already patted Li Zhixiao on the shoulder, and before the other party grabbed her hand, the person retreated like a swimming fish, and as soon as she took off her coat, she put it aside, looked around, and came to Fan Jin to sit down,
"This boy is very raw, what do you call it? The slave family plays with the Moon Bridge Youlan Pavilion Ma Xianglan, in this Qinhuai River, everyone calls me Ma Siniang, this is a gift for you. Over there, my daughter, Xue Wu'er, came to give this son a gift. ”
Fan Jin was sitting with Zhang Maoxiu on one side and Wei Yongnian on the other, but as soon as Ma Xianglan came over, before Zhang Maoxiu moved, Wei Yongnian had already moved away and asked him to sit down.
It turns out that she is Ma Xianglan!
Fan Jin had deliberately learned about Qin Huai Bayan in his previous life because of his interest in the peach blossom fan, and his familiarity with this name was higher than that of a military general. knows that she is not only a talented woman, but also a chivalrous man. The kung fu of painting bamboo and orchid with one hand is famous in the southeast. Although the reputation is famous, the private savings are not abundant. The silver two left hands in and out of the right hand, Zhou Jiwen did not know how much to do to help his peers.
In the past, I had only heard the name, but now I can't help but look at the real person up close. Ma Xianglan's age is a bit old at the moment, and she has passed the golden age of a maid. But in Fan Jin's opinion, such a woman is in her golden age, and she is full of femininity. What's more, it is a woman in the fat powder array, and her charm in this regard is even higher than that of ordinary good family girls, so she can't help but take a few more looks.
Ma Xianglan had already met her confidant Suzhou Wang Zhideng at this time, and the two were the kind of confidantes, who were lifelong companions and had no name, and they knew each other's intentions.
However, if you are in the teaching workshop, it is impossible not to receive guests because of Wang Zhideng, and Wang Zhideng will not be idiotic enough to eat this kind of vinegar. In fact, during the relationship between the two, Wang Zhideng also used Ma Xianglan's body to trade with others. is that she is more open, although she has now changed to become a bustard mother, she will not engrave the chastity archway on her head.
The woman who was mixed with Fengchen was extremely sensitive in this regard, and when she saw that Fan Jin was interested in her, she took the initiative to laugh and play with him to get closer. After a few glasses of wine, he introduced Xue Wu'er to Fan Jin. Xue Wu is nominally her daughter, but she is actually the number one popular girl under her, and she is also the martial champion on the Jiangning flower list.
The land of fireworks likes to engage in gimmicks to attract customers, and choosing a champion is actually a common thing. But when he entered the cabin, he was still wearing a veil, and this kind of dress was a bit unusual, Fan Jin thought, most of the other party wanted to find an opportunity to suddenly untie it and surprise the audience. But looking at Zhang's family, Fan Jin felt that this kind of thinking must be self-inflicted. No matter how beautiful she looks, compared to this immortal, there is no comparison, this careful thinking is doomed to failure.
Xue Wu'er didn't know what was going on with the three slow quarrels over there, and the person was also a little awkward, so he sat down between Zhang Maoxiu and Zhang's family, but he didn't laugh with Zhang Maoxiu, just nodded, took the wine glass, gently lifted a corner of the veil, and poured the wine into his mouth. Judging from her movements, she was a little worried that the face towel would fall off.
Li Zhixiao introduced Fan Jin's identity at this time, and Ma Xianglan shouted again and again: "Disrespectful, disrespectful." This Peony Pavilion was actually written by Fan Gongzi, I really didn't expect it. Wu'er, you can respect Fan Gongzi for two glasses of wine, and beg him to write a few poems for you, lest people say that your Xue Wu'er is not worthy of the name and is pressed on top by Wang Xuexiao. ”
She said to Fan Jin again: "My daughter is not good at talking to people, but her heart is not bad, and her dancing skills are the best. ”
Without waiting for Fan Jin to speak, Zhang said, "Miss Xue is good at dancing? This is a coincidence, Brother Fan has a good rhythm, why don't you ask Brother Fan to play a tune and ask Miss Xue to dance? ”
