That night, Su Qin led Ning Jun and Wu Jing to test the "Peach Garden" with a jade token in hand.

The garden was really extraordinary, and Su Qin found that it was two hundred zhang wide and about sixty zhang wide, and the lake and mountains in the garden were pleasant. More than 20 large and small courtyards are distributed among them, and they are scattered.

When the little second in the garden saw Su Qin holding the jade token, he immediately became very attentive, and introduced several high-end rooms one after another, and Su Qin chose a small courtyard located by the lake.

As soon as he and Ning Jun and the other three sat down, Xiao Er came over and asked them what kind of wine and food they wanted and what kind of song and dance they chose.

Su Qin inquired and learned that the wine and food still had to be paid separately, and the song and dance were not fixed according to the wishes of the guests, because when buying the jade token, the cost of the song and dance was included in it.

Su Qin and the others had already had dinner, so they ordered three light side dishes and a bottle of Handan's famous wine "Handan Mash" from Zhao State, and the song and dance ordered five tracks such as "Wind and Rain", "Drumming" and "Taoyao".

After Xiao'er wrote them down one by one, he quit and went to prepare.

After a while, the maid in the peach garden brought wine and food, the dishes were very plain, Ning Jun and Wu Jing were not interested, but Su Qin ate with relish, tasting the light and long aftertaste.

Handan mash is a kind of old wine with rice dregs, the entrance is sweet, the fragrance is overflowing, drink in the mouth, must be chewed again, that is, the so-called "eating wine".

Ning Jun and Wu Jing were full of praise for Handan mash, and the two of them didn't wait for Su Qin's persuasion, they picked up their ear cups and ate them non-stop.

At first, they could still eat Handan mash as rice, and they didn't feel strange at all, but after ten or so cups, the two of them were dizzy, and they could only barely support themselves from falling asleep.

Su Qin looked at the posture of the two of them, and couldn't help but smile secretly, when he himself and his master lived in seclusion in Yunmeng Mountain, the master always instructed him and his junior disciples to brew this kind of mash wine, and he often ate a few glasses, knowing the taste of light first and then strong.

Su Qin originally wanted to tell the two of them, but before he could speak, the two had already been tricked.

While Su Qin was savoring and enjoying the exquisite wine and food in the peach garden, a group of kabuki came in from outside the house, and two young men and six young girls, led by a middle-aged woman, walked to the center of the room and stood down.

The middle-aged woman claimed to be the song and dance leader of the Peach Garden, named Ji Tao, and she came over to talk to Su Qin very attentively.

Ji Tao smiled all over her face and said to Su Qin: "I heard that the three sons are all holding jade tokens, and at first glance they are rich and blessed people, and we are really honored to come to the peach garden." ”

Ji Tao boasted: "Today, I brought the first-class dancing girls in our garden, and the sons can play at will." ”

Ji Tao's words were frivolous, Ning Jun was already drunk, and said unabashedly: "Feel free to play, then I want to sleep with them, can they promise me?" ”

Ji Tao didn't think it was wrong, and said with a smile: "Childe can fall in love with our dancing girls, it can be seen that they are still very attractive, and we are also very honored, just with your noble status, why bother with our fallen woman as a companion." ”

Su Qin listened to it from the side, and felt that Ji Tao was not simple, not only politely rejecting the guest's indecency, but also not offending the guest, which really required a certain amount of speaking skills.

Ning Jun wanted to say something more, but Su Qin hurriedly interrupted him and told Ji Tao to start the singing and dancing performance immediately, don't delay any longer.

Ji Tao still wanted to stay with Su Qin and the others to have a glass of wine before leaving, she took out a delicate lacquered fungus cup from her cuff, sifted it full of wine, and knelt down in front of Su Qin's several cases to toast with Su Qin.

Su Qin looked at Ji Tao at close range at this time, and suddenly felt as if he had seen her somewhere, as if he was in a far away place, and the time seemed to be very long, anyway, it was definitely not in Handan City in Zhao State.

Ji Tao didn't show any expression of knowing Su Qin, she saw Su Qin staring at herself, so she smiled and said: "What's the point of the son staring at me, a half-old, wait for the song and dance to start later, stare at those little girls and watch hard, it will definitely make you feast your eyes." ”

Ji Tao's tone of voice also made Su Qin feel familiar, but he just couldn't remember it. Su Qin asked tentatively: "I think you seem to be a very experienced person, and you have probably traveled a lot of places." ”

Ji Tao pursed her lips and didn't answer Su Qin's question for a while, she was hesitating how to say.

Su Qin said that she had a lot of experience, which was indeed something she was proud of, but admitting it in front of strangers was a bit abrupt.

Su Qin could see from Ji Tao's expression that although she didn't say it, it was true that she had traveled a lot, Su Qin had a bottom in his heart, and he didn't continue to ask, he began to think about the places where he might have come into contact with Ji Tao in the past, intentionally or unintentionally.

After Ji Tao finished toasting everyone, he turned around and withdrew, and Kabuki began to perform, they first performed the martial dance "Drumming", etc., Ning Jun looked at Wu Wu, very excited, and drank a few glasses in a row, but Wu Jing was not interested in any dance, so he simply fell asleep.

Later, when performing the dance "Tao Yao" and so on, Ning Jun also began to lose interest, his head tilted to the side, drowsy, but still barely supported, and he fell asleep after the last moment.

The kabuki saw that two of the three people were sleeping, leaving only Su Qin alone, thinking that there was something wrong with their performance, they were very worried, and they kept looking at Su Qin while performing uneasily.

Su Qin noticed their uneasiness, so he told Kabuki during the break in the repertoire: "Both friends have drunk too much, you don't have to worry about them, just put on a show." ”

An older dancer in Kabuki saw that Su Qin was still very reasonable, and she also wanted to curry favor with Su Qin and let him say a few kind words in front of Ji Tao, so that the Kabuki would not be punished for not liking their songs and dances.

Therefore, she came to Su Qin's case, accompanied Su Qin to eat and talk, and let the other kabuki continue to perform.

She introduced that her name is Chen Dan and she has been coming to Taoyuan for five years. Su Qin saw that Chen Dan had bright eyes and beautiful demeanor, and he had a good impression, and then heard that she had been in the peach garden for a long time, which was exactly what he wanted.

He was looking for an elderly person in the peach garden to ask Ji Tao about her origins. Therefore, Su Qin seemed to be very enthusiastic about talking to Chen Dan.

Su Qin first asked Chen Dan for some stories about Handan City, Chen Dan grew up in Handan City since he was a child, and when he talked about these things, he inserted some interesting stories, which made Su Qin laugh.

The two chatted hotly, and after a while, they drank more than a dozen glasses of wine, and Su Qin deliberately only used half a glass when eating because he was hiding things in his heart.

On the contrary, Chen Dan may have forgotten his moderation because of his opportunistic speech, and after eating a few more glasses of wine, his face turned crimson, reflecting his snow-white skin, which was even more charming.
