Chapter 30: The Rising Tide (I)

Jiangnan is good, the most beautiful in Suzhou and Hangzhou. At sunrise, the red fireworks, the river flowers have already bloomed past the best season, and now they are quietly sleeping in the cold winter. Under the sunset, the bluestone of the long and deep ancient road seems to still echo the soft groan of yesterday's clogs. The beautiful city of Hangzhou is conserving this water and soil day after day in the overlapping smoke of willows and cold and heat.

The huge Baichuan Villa is magnificent, but the same blue tile and white wall shows a different momentum because of the builder's skillful hands, whether it is the broad outline of the villa or the unrestrained corner cornices, it shows its different status and significance in Hangzhou City.

Ning Qi followed the guide all the way into Baichuan Villa, neither fast nor slow, the spy before going out did not count, speaking of which, this was the first time he walked in openly. In order to make it easier, none of the people in the Seven Star Pavilion stayed in Baichuan Villa, and he only sent Liang Jing and Song Yi to come when he celebrated his birthday, and he didn't like this kind of entertainment occasion, so he avoided it if he could.

The hand in the sleeve gently brushed the gilded invitation, Bai Letian's sudden invitation surprised him, but he didn't refuse, if he didn't enter the tiger's den, how could he get the tiger? What's more, everything that happened in the tunnels of Baichuan Villa, as well as the rumors in the city that came out of nowhere, no matter what Bai Letian's idea was this time, he would have to go anyway.

The subordinate who led the way led him to the Mingyan Hall on the east side of the Baifu Garden, then bowed down and retreated, and then, Bai Lotian laughed and greeted him from inside and said enthusiastically: "Thanks to the Jiang Pavilion Master, the old man has been waiting for a long time!" Inside please! With that, he led him to the back hall and sat down.

After turning around, Ning Qi found that this Mingyan Hall was also unique, the front looked like a place to meet guests, the room was set up in strict rules, but the back was delicately arranged, quite a bit of the Jiangnan characteristics of a small jasper. The two sides are separated by screens, and there should be a lot of people behind the breath, most of them are messy and heavy, and they are just ordinary people. And there are two of them, one has a calm and long breath, but it is very light, and he should be considered a master, of course, he has not taken it in his eyes; The other, extremely subtle, seemed to be absent, if he hadn't deliberately investigated, he might have ignored it, and besides, this breath seemed somewhat familiar. There is a table of banquets arranged in the middle of the head, no need to ask if it must have been prepared by Bai Letian, but I don't know if this is a Hongmen banquet or a ** banquet.

"I don't know what happened to the owner of the white village who invited him to come down today?" Ning Qi opened his mouth and asked, he was indeed a little curious about Bai Letian's intentions, he shouldn't be able to find out about the Wanfeng Cave, thinking of the Wanfeng Cave, he couldn't help but think of Lou Weiyu, and he didn't know how she recovered?

"Haha, the young hero of the Jiang Pavilion Master, the old man has admired the name for a long time! If you don't dislike it, you can call the old man a uncle, and the old man is familiar with the pavilion master at first sight! Bai Lotian stroked his beard with one hand and said with a smile, while looking at Ning Qi, the more he looked, the more satisfied he felt, worthy of being the person he picked. Don't say a talent, neither humble nor arrogant, and even faintly have a natural kingly momentum.

Ning Qi doesn't like these vainness and grievances, but it doesn't mean that he is not good at it, since Bai Lotian refuses to speak out, he is also happy to wait and see the changes, casually playing with the wine glass in his hand, the glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine, not to mention anything else, in terms of enjoyment, Bai Lotian can also be regarded as the essence of it. "The owner of the village is warmly invited, and he should obey his fate, and this cup is a tribute to the world."

Seeing him cooperate so much, the smile on Bai Letian's face deepened a little, and he took a drink from the wine glass. While persuading him to eat and drink, Bai Lotian seemed to casually inquire about what he wanted to know.

How can Ning Qi be easy to deal with, pushing the cup and changing the lamp, talking and laughing, and there is no leakage between the words, the news that Bai Lotian wants to inquire about has not been found out at all, but there is no anger on his face, but his appreciation for Ning Qi is a little deeper.

After three rounds of drinking, Bai Letian was full of red drinks, and he smiled at Ning Qi with a little drunkenness: "It's just that drinking is too monotonous and boring, and some fun programs have been arranged today, so you might as well take a look." After that, three high-fives, the music of the silk and bamboo orchestra immediately came out from behind the screen separated on both sides, a gust of fragrant wind drifted by, and a figure in full costume appeared in the open space in front of the hall at some point, with his back to Ning Qi and Bai Letian, the silky and soft long hair was pulled up by several golden hairpins, leaving only a strand hanging on the back of the head and trembling with the woman's movements, the large pearl-inlaid beads decorated the cloud-like black hair, and a pink gauze skirt outlined the slender figure, with a slender waist, not a hand.

The clear sound of the silk bamboo was slow and urgent, and the figure danced with the rhythm, just when people thought she was going to turn around and reveal the true face of Lushan, but found that the woman's face was still covered with a light veil of the same color. The looming face, the light and soft posture, as if it is a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world, is as beautiful as a dream.

Ning Qi glanced behind the screen, his mind turned sharply, and then he looked at the dancing person without blinking, his eyes changing unpredictably with the dancing figure in front of the hall.

Bai Lotian looked at Ning Qi's reaction with satisfaction, this was a good show that he had carefully arranged, and he couldn't understand the charm of his daughter, such a well-designed appearance, as long as it was a man, he would never be moved.

The sound gradually stopped, the musician behind the screen quietly left, the dancing woman slowly turned around, a mischievous wind broke in through the window at some point, and the light veil covered by the Yiren fell silently......

It was a face that was unrealistically beautiful, with a face like a silver plate, eyes like apricots, lips that were not dotted but red, eyebrows that were not painted but green, delicate and delicate, and unparalleled in charm.

"Papapapa", Ning Qi came back to his senses and clapped his hands and praised, "It's been a long time of "Xianle Wind Drifting", I didn't expect that there was such a wonderful person in the Shibo Mansion!" ”

Seeing his praise, Bai Letian was even more happy, "The virtuous nephew is too famous, the little girl is just a small skill of carving insects, it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance, and Shui Er still doesn't come forward to greet Jiang Gongzi?" The second half of the sentence is addressed to the dancers standing in front of the hall.

Ning Qi's fingertips moved slightly, retracted his gaze, and a touch of deep thought crossed his eyes, and he disappeared very quickly.

Bai Ruoshui stepped forward in a curling manner, and Wu Nong, who was warm and warm jade, said softly, "The little woman Bai Ruoshui, I have seen Jiang Gongzi, and I am ugly." ”

Can a beautiful woman accept it safely? Ning Qi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, "The white girl is in a hurry." ”

"Shui'er, why don't you pour wine for Jiang Gongzi?" Looking at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, Bai Lotian felt that half of his purpose had been achieved.

Bai Ruoshui said "yes" softly, and then took the pot and poured wine.

The combination of red crisp hands, glass cups, and white jade cups becomes a beautiful painting, and the wine poured out by such hands seems to be exceptionally clear and mellow, and even the aroma is a little stronger. If Ning Qi didn't know Bai Letian's intentions by now, it would be a joke. It's just that instead of refusing, he took the wine glass in Bai Ruoshui's hand and glanced at Bai Ruoshui with great amazement and appreciation, just like those ordinary people who saw peerless beauties, and drank the wine in the cup with full enjoyment.

Behind the screen, a pair of green and tender hands clenched unconsciously, and the pink fingertips pressed deeply into the palms.
