Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Lake Banquet Begins
Xu Ning and Guo Jia did not ride horses, but walked all the way to Wang's house, and on the way, Xu Ning briefly introduced Wang Wuji and the banquet about the lake to Guo Jia. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At first, Guo Jia still didn't want to go, and he told Xu Ning that this was something that some boring people did, and it was better to go back and have a good drink.
However, under Xu Ning's repeated pleas, Guo Jia still nodded and went with Xu Ning, after all, he was tasteless just drinking alone, and drinking at the lake banquet might not have a special taste.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Xu Ning soon came to the Wang family's mansion, knocked the door of the house, and then opened it from the door, and two servants came out from inside and said politely to Xu Ning and Guo Jia: "Who are you looking for?" ”
Xu Ning smiled and responded politely to the two servants: "I am a friend of the prince of the king, and I have something to invite to your son-in-law." ”
"Please come in! Two gentlemen. After hearing Xu Ning's introduction, these two servants were also very polite and invited Xu Ning and Guo Jia in, and one of the servants quickly ran to the backyard to inform Wang Wuji.
Xu Ning followed a servant to the hall of the palace, and Xu Ning and Guo Jia sat on the side of the guest seat and waited quietly for Wang Wuji's arrival.
Not long after, Wang Wuji strode in from the outside of the hall, laughed and said to Xu Ning: "Hahaha, Mr. Xu is here, I thought you wouldn't come, Mr. Xu!" ”
"The prince is invited, how can he not come." Xu Ning and Guo Jia both stood up from their seats, after all, the hosts of the family have come to speak politely, and they are embarrassed to sit and talk to others as guests!
Wang Wuji stretched out his hand and asked Xu Ning and Guo Jia to sit down and talk, and then Wang Wuji looked at Guo Jia and found that although Guo Jia was dressed plainly, Guo Jia's temperament exuded from his body was unusual.
Wang Wuji has been taught not to judge people by their appearance since he was a child, so he didn't look down on Guo Jia at all, but said to Guo Jia politely: "I don't know what this gentleman is called?" ”
"Mr. doesn't dare to be, the villain's surname is Guo Mingjia, and the word is filial piety. I've seen Wang Gongzi. Guo Jia pursed his lips and looked at Wang Wuji and said in return, without a trace of weakened demeanor.
"Mr. Xu, Mr. Guo, let's be here for a while, and someone will come to pick us up later." After Wang Wuji nodded, he chatted with Xu Ning and Guo Jia for a while, waiting for some people to pick him up.
So Xu Ning and the others drank fragrant tea in the hall of the Wang family, waiting quietly.
After a while, a servant walked quickly from outside the hall, walked next to Wang Wuji and said, "Childe, the people outside said that the time was up, and it was time to go." ”
"Well, you go down!" After Wang Wuji waved his hand to let the servant go down, he said to Xu Ning and Guo Jia: "Mr. Xu and Mr. Guo, the people who came to pick us up have arrived, let's go!" ”
"Please!"
Xu Ning and the other three walked from the hall to the outside of the Wang family, and after a while, Xu Ning and the three of them arrived outside the mansion and saw a carriage waiting outside.
Wang Wuji motioned for Xu Ning and Guo Jia to get into the carriage first: "Two please!" ”
"Da Da Da ......"
After the three of them got into the carriage, the carriage slowly shuttled through the street, and the three of them felt that it was particularly elegant and quiet to play in the evening.
The green water of the clear lake is worry-free, and the face is wrinkled by the wind. Xu Ning and the three of them sat in the carriage and quickly arrived at the place of the so-called lake banquet.
When the refreshing breeze blows, the surface of the lake ripples, and the weeping willows on the stone embankment also dance, showing off its charming and delicate heroic posture.
After Xu Ning and the three of them got out of the carriage, they looked at all kinds of colorful lights around the lake and on the lake, illuminating this wide and quiet lake.
Xu Ning looked at the willows not far in front of him swaying in the wind, although the willows had passed the most vibrant spring, not as green as before, but the pavilion was faintly ripe, and the delicate willows became more flavorful.
The slender willow of the willow crossed the clear surface of the lake, and was covered with crystal clear water droplets, and the willow was reflected on the surface of the lake, so that the lake water was also dyed green, as if a lake of jade was flowing eastward.
"What an elegant and quiet place!" Xu Ning looked at the willows in the clear lake and couldn't help but admire, especially at night, the colorful lights hanging everywhere were even more charming.
Guo Jia couldn't help but nodded, looking at the blurry colored lights around him, which made people feel comfortable.
"Mr. Xu, this is a month in advance for the major scholars, of course it is a beautiful scenery in the world." Wang Wuji heard Xu Ning's admiration, and explained with some pride.
There are also many boats of all kinds on the lake, which are supposed to be used for swimming in the lake. There are many dignitaries and nobles standing next to the lake, and basically the scholars and talents of the Changsha realm have come.
Wang Wuji waited for Xu Ning and Guo Jia to reward for a while, and then said softly: "Two, let's go to the lake tower over there and meet other talented and beautiful people!" ”
"Well, then ask Prince Wang to lead the way." Xu Ning smiled and replied to Wang Wuji, it was worth his trip to come here today, he didn't expect that there was such a beautiful scenery in Changsha, these scholars and doctors really knew how to play.
How much manpower and material resources do it take to arrange such a wide clear lake, Xu Ning and Guo Jia followed behind Wang Wuji, Xu Ning raised his mouth slightly and shook his head, lamenting that the gap between life in this troubled world is too big.
But since Xu Ning and Guo Jia have already come here, let's have a good time! After all, this Wang Wuji sincerely invited, if he left suddenly, it would be too bad for Wang Wuji to lose face, and it would be too dull for this kid!
Although Xu Ning can not give Wang Wuji face, Xu Ning has not thought of a way to leave Changsha to guard Sun Jian, and it is better to stay in the room and come out to enjoy the lake and drink!
Xu Ning and Guo Jia glanced at each other and smiled at each other, as if they had discussed a different place to drink. The two followed Wang Wuji to an attic by the lake.
The attic is very tall, its warped cornices, and the glazed tiles on the roof, which shimmer with a broken light under the refraction of the stars and moonlight.
When Wang Wuji, Xu Ning and Guo Jia came to the door of the attic, several pretty girls waiting outside bowed slightly and said, "A few sons, please!" ”
"Okay." After Wang Wuji nodded and returned the salute to a few beautiful girls, he turned his head to Xu Ning and Guo Jia and whispered, "Let's go up!" It's time for the fun to really come. ”
So, Wang Wuji took Xu Ning and Guo Jia and walked slowly towards the attic.
In the attic, colorful lanterns are hung around, illuminating this wide attic extraordinarily brightly, and there are many red lacquer carved tables and chairs in front of Xu Ning and others.
There are also many talented and beautiful women dressed in luxurious clothes, and all kinds of fine wine and food are placed on the table.
At this moment, a woman dressed in a pale pink dress, long to the floor, with a thin waist bound by a cloud band, and a Qibao coral hairpin wrapped around her hair, slowly walked down a staircase in the attic.
"It turned out that the prince was here, and the little girl was polite here." Slowly walking down one of the stairs in the attic, a beautiful and moving woman said crisply to Wang Wuji.
