However, he said that Ji Ning arrived at the dock by carriage and got off the carriage, and immediately felt that many people turned their heads to look at him.

He can be calm and calm, but Yu Ling, who is following him, feels a lot of respectful eyes and can't help himself, and he can't help but straighten his waist, and his heart is full of pride.

She knew very well that the people standing on the dock at the moment were all people with heads and faces in Jinling City.

"Haha, Ji Gongzi, I've been looking up for a long time."

As Ji Ning approached the crowd, people immediately took the initiative to greet him in groups of three or five and greeted Ji Ning warmly.

These people are of different ages, with different identities and occupations, and Ji Ning doesn't know any of them anyway.

He could only put on a smile, pretending to be familiar and bowing in return: "Hehe, look up for a long time." ”

After the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Meeting in Chongwangfu, although Ji Ning's reputation is still criticized by many people, there are also people who really begin to respect Ji Ning.

Although Wu Bei pretended not to care about Ji Ning's arrival, and kept chatting and laughing with Qin Feng and Zhang Linwu, his attention was on Ji Ning.

Seeing that Ji Ning was greeted by many people who took the initiative to greet him, and there was laughter, Wu Bei couldn't help but be jealous and full of resentment.

He knew very well that a few months ago, even a few days ago, Ji Ning was still a waste that everyone despised, a street rat.

After the people who took the initiative to greet Ji Ning, the chief steward of Tianxiang Building, who was responsible for receiving distinguished guests at the dock, could finally squeeze up to talk to Ji Ning.

"Haha, Ji Gongzi admired his face to participate in the Oiran celebration banquet of our building, and our building can be described as full of brilliance, and it is a great honor." The chief steward of Tianxiang Building bowed his hand to Ji Ning with a kind face, "Liao Jin, the chief steward of Tianxiang Building." ”

In fact, Liu Ruye's Oiran celebration banquet invited many people. Although it is basically a noble person with status, not everyone can be grandly received, and the chief steward of Tianxianglou took the initiative to welcome him.

Ji Ning arched his hand and responded: "Hehe, Chief Liao is polite. Being able to participate in Miss Liu's Oiran celebration banquet is a blessing for Ji's three lives. ”

The two exchanged two words, and it was time to officially board the painting boat.

The big proprietor of Tianxianglou walked down from the painting boat, and there was a team of young and beautiful maids dressed in flamboyant and sexy clothes behind him.

These sexy young and beautiful maids lined up neatly along both sides of the red carpet that had been laid out before before the boarding area, and the pomp was huge.

The big proprietor of Tianxianglou walked in front of everyone, made a short speech, and then officially led everyone to board the painting boat in person.

The painting boat is very large, and there are three floors in total, and Tianxianglou has invited more people this time, so it is impossible for everyone to gather together to entertain.

At the same time, it is not Liu Ru who receives everyone alone.

Tianxianglou also arranged for their girls and sisters to entertain not very important guests.

Therefore, Tianxianglou divided the guests into three batches according to their status and support for Tianxianglou Liu.

The most important guests were arranged on the third floor of the top floor, and Liu Rushi personally received them.

The second-level guests are arranged to be entertained on the second floor, and they are received by the more popular girls and sisters of Tianxiang Building.

The first floor is to entertain ordinary guests, and there are also girls and sisters to accompany them for fun.

Although the girls on the first floor are not as good as the third and second floors, they are also more capable of Tianxianglou.

Ji Ning was listed as one of the most important guests by Tianxianglou because of a song "When is the Bright Moon", and was arranged to the top floor and received by Liu Ru in person.

In addition, He An also followed the painting boat and was arranged on the first floor.

As for Yu Ling, after all, Tianxianglou is a green building, and she is not suitable for a yellow flower girl to follow, so she stays at the dock to guard the carriage.

Ji Ning climbed to the third floor with the big owner of Tianxiang Building, entered the house and looked at it, and saw that it was a not very spacious hall, which was elegantly furnished and elegant.

Due to the shape of the ship, the hall is a long rectangle, with a vacant passage in the middle, and a table with good wine and tea neatly placed on both sides. Behind each desk stood respectfully against the wall was a young and pretty maid.

At the end of the hall is a lilac gauze curtain, through which you can dimly see a table behind the curtain, on which a guqin is placed.

Presumably, Liu Ru will sing behind the lilac gauze curtain.

Everyone's name was marked on the desk in advance, and Ji Ning and the others didn't need to make any further arrangements from Tianxianglou, so they walked to the desk marked with their own names, and sat cross-legged on the wisteria cushion under the service of the young and pretty maid behind them.

When they were ready, the pretty maids lit the incense in the bronze incense burner, then poured tea and wine for their dedicated guests, and finally gently stepped back and stood under the wall behind them, waiting for them to be called.

At the same time, another group of maids brought exquisite dishes and snacks from the outside, and then withdrew in a stream.

Zhang Linwu sat down in front of the desk at the bottom right, and when he saw that it was Ji Ning who was sitting at the bottom left on the opposite side, he couldn't help frowning.

He himself is the son of the three-rank master transfer envoy, not to mention his noble status, he threw more than 10,000 taels of silver on Liu Rushi before and after the Oiran competition, and then sat on the lower right.

And the person opposite is just the abandoned son of Jifu, but I dreamed of a poem that was not written for Liu Ruyi, and it was actually comparable to him, and he sat opposite him, and Li Liu Ru was the closest seat.

Thinking of what Wu Bei said when chatting at the dock just now, Zhang Linwu's heart was not very happy.

Ji Ning sat down and naturally looked at the other side, and inadvertently found that the strange young man on the opposite side didn't seem to be very friendly when looking at him.

Not only that, but he felt almost all the eyes in the hall looking at him, jealous or envious.

His seat was indeed enviable, jealous and hateful.

Not to mention the noble position, the key is to be close enough to Liu Ru, maybe you can glimpse Liu Ru is beautiful face through the misty lilac light veil.

Especially since he has never supported Liu Ruyi.

However, Ji Ning was not affected by those gazes, and sat calmly.

The big proprietor of Tianxianglou walked to the lilac gauze curtain and stopped, turning to face everyone.

Although he is the big owner of Tianxianglou, he has not arranged a seat for himself here.

After all the distinguished guests were seated, the big proprietor of Tianxianglou briefly thanked everyone, and then joked: "I know that everyone is not listening to Chen's long-winded words when they are busy participating in the Oiran celebration banquet. Let's get down to business. Please Liu Ru is a girl! ”

As the voice fell, everyone couldn't help but applaud in anticipation.

I saw that the big owner of Tianxianglou retreated to the wall, and through the hazy lilac gauze curtain, there was a graceful figure coming out from the right side, until it reached the front of the desk in the middle behind the gauze curtain, and then sat down gracefully.

Liu Ru didn't speak first, but directly raised Qianqianyu's hand and put it on the guqin strings, playing and singing.

With the sound of the elegant and dusty "Ding Dong" piano, everyone was completely quiet and listened to the fairy sound that seemed to float down from the sky.
