Chapter Ninety-Four: Staggered Planning
Longxing Mansion, drunk spring breeze.
The guests took their seats one after another, although Ye Yingwu invited a lot of businessmen this time, but it does not mean that the businessmen have the courage to rely on their "distinguished guests" to compete for seats with those officials who are even uninvited, and a group of officials quickly occupy the nearest seats of Ye Yingwu's left and right hands, and the businessmen also know their status, so they have no intention of competing with them at all, and sit straight to the corners everywhere.
Although commerce was already very developed in the Song Dynasty, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, the status of merchants was not greatly improved, but it was already a great honor to be invited to this banquet, so their requirements for seats were the lowest.
Ye Yingwu was still smiling, Jiang Hao was on the left, and the officials and businessmen also knew the identity of this young general who looked younger than Ye Yingwu, so no one questioned it, even those old scholars who studied Zhu Cheng's science were very particular about turning a blind eye, and let this commanding envoy, who was not logically high, sit in the first position under Ye Yingwu.
On the other hand, Zhao Wenyi has been left aside, but Zhao Wenyi has always accepted this, so although he does not have any real power in his hands as a dignified judge of Longxing Mansion, he lives a very nourishing life every day. However, for such a scholar who seemed to be powerless, Ye Yingwu did not despise it.
Although Zhao Wenyi is a centrist who seems to be helping no one and lives freely here, in the end, he personally led two thousand elite cavalry to launch a decisive attack on the mighty Mongolian army as the commander of Yingzhou, so that the Mongolian army had to turn its troops for the sake of these two thousand cavalry, and this seemingly weak bloody man also died on the battlefield, achieving a tragic song.
It's just that Zhao Wenyi didn't know where he was going at this time, but when he encountered these heroes who died in battle standing in front of him again, even if Ye Yingwu had seen it many times before, he still couldn't hide his shock.
It is these people who have gone forward and succeeded each other who have written a sad song with their own flesh and blood, swearing to the world that this nation, which has been retreating and defending, still has the dignity and strength to fight in the face of the enemies who have conquered the world.
This time, Ye Yingwu invited the dignitaries of Longxing Mansion to a banquet, and it was really unreasonable if Wang Yao and others were to accompany him, so Zhao Wenyi, who has always been a centrist, became the best choice. There is not much disgust with the centrist Ye Yingwu like Zhao Wenyi, because they are very different from the so-called wall grass, these people are not very interested in the battle between Jiang Wanli and Jia Yidao, as long as they can govern the country well, there is actually not much difference who to follow.
Maybe this is the so-called "practical school", Ye Yingwu didn't know if he felt a little distracted, if it wasn't for Zhao Wenyi standing up and coughing lightly, I'm afraid Ye Yingwu wouldn't know how long he would be in a daze, and he could only smile awkwardly at the expectant eyes of the crowd, and then glared fiercely at Jiang Hao, who was unknown next to him.
Jiang Hao, this guy is really fierce in battle, but when it comes to this kind of trivial matter of entertainment, he is far less reliable than Wen Tianxiang, Lu Xiufu and even Zhang Cheng, and in an instant, Ye Yingwu regretted a little how he came back with this stunned Qing.
However, I have to say that only this stunned young man can go anywhere without forgetting to put out the formation of the Tianwu Army, for example, Ye Yingwu was very satisfied just now.
"A certain Zhao Wenyi was able to get acquainted with the envoy, which is really a blessing in this life, I am afraid that everyone here also has the same mind, so I will salute this cup first." Zhao Wenyi didn't seem to notice Ye Yingwu's distraction, but Shi Shiran picked up his wine glass with a full smile on his face. If it weren't for the fact that he knew the roots, I am afraid that everyone here would think that this is a hardcore minions of Jiang Wanli's party.
Zhao Wenyi has already said that he wants to represent everyone present, but after all, it is naturally impossible to really let this dignified Longxing Mansion judge do it alone, whether it is the one who knows what is going on in the nearby seat or the one who doesn't know what is going on in the distant seat at all, they all stand up and raise their wine glasses, in short, just follow everyone.
"The kid is not sensitive, how can he dare to be like this!" Ye Yingwu hurriedly stood up and threw his hand at Zhao Wenyi with a wine glass in his hand, this kind of words can be regarded as a handy for him, if it is replaced by Jiang Hao, I am afraid that he will be in a hurry.
A look of appreciation flashed in Zhao Wenyi's eyes, Ye Yingwu is really not just a hero on the battlefield, he can still deal with these somewhat cumbersome social interactions, but thinking about his family heritage, he can be relieved. However, this also made Zhao Wenyi frightened, I don't know when it started, when he looked at the black-clothed young man in front of him who exuded a heroic temperament, people had gradually forgotten that he was still Ye Mengding's son, and he was the second official of Ye Mansion.
I don't know if this is a recognition of the ability of this young man in black?
Ye Yingwu's mind was turning, and Zhao Wenyi was also complicated, so the two of them sat down in a bit of a confusion. Of course, before Ye Yingwu came back to his senses, several other officials who were also heads and faces couldn't wait to stand up. And after these officials, the businessmen who wanted to express their respect were also eager to try under the leadership of Shen Fei of Pingshui Tower.
In an instant, a wry smile appeared on the corner of Ye Yingwu's mouth.
Fortunately, here is a drunken spring breeze, with a "battle-hardened" ** Chunfang. This, who is still charming, has long been an ancestor-level figure in this flower and wine field, how can he not see Ye Yingwu's embarrassment, and he no longer hesitated at the moment, clapped his hands gently, and the melodious sound of silk and bamboo rose on the ground.
Several groups of singers entered the venue in gorgeous costumes, the long water sleeves were like undulating waves in the wind, and each dancer was wearing a half-thin veil, but the outline of the face could be faintly seen, and the exposed smooth and white forehead and affectionate eyes made the people present who were not strong-willed and couldn't help but ripple.
However, Ye Yingwu, Jiang Hao, Zhao Wenyi and others, who have been in battle for a long time, obviously only bowed slightly, but their eyes wandered, and they did not stay on these slender dancing girls, but looked at the people around them with complex expressions. Or in other words, Ye Yingwu and Jiang Hao looked at Zhao Wenyi, and Zhao Wenyi looked at the two of them.
But after all, it is not a sworn enemy, the two sides are more curious and tentative, and there is not much hostility, otherwise how could other businessmen like Shen Fei, who are also human beings, and officials who have been crawling in the officialdom for many years, not jump out to play a round.
The graceful girl in the center of the dancing girl opened her lips lightly, raised her bare hands, and sang first:
"The banquet pavilion is forever noisy and noisy. Leaning on the blue sky, painting the red column. Yuying purple micro people, kind and kind, spring and sunny. The Forbidden City Pool Pavilion is even more upstairs, about Fengyue, where tonight. The lake moves fresh clothes, competing for green and lakeside roads. Falling flowers ripple and empty trees. Xiaoshan Jing, several voices Du Yu. Providence sends Fang Fei, which is bleak and sparse and makes the rain. The new joy is like the old one, and this meeting will be dispersed and when will it be gathered. Try to fly the clouds, ask if you send it, acacia ······"
The melodious singing echoed in the hall, but it was Zhang Xian's "Mountain Pavilion Banquet". The full hall of guests, whether they understood it or not, including Ye Yingwu and Zhao Wenyi, who were not here, all showed their intoxication intentionally or unintentionally.
Until the ethereal singing dissipated, the sound of silk and bamboo returned, and the already soft dance posture was smart again, and the hall erupted in applause, especially those officials, some even had red faces, but the businessmen who were far from paying attention to their image on weekdays were very restrained and cheered a few times, after all, for these businessmen, it was already an honor to be able to sit with the officials who represented the upper echelons of society, except for a few people such as Shen Fei, that was not walking on thin ice and trembling?
After the officials below cheered, they all quietly looked at Ye Yingwu and Zhao Wenyi, and when they saw that these two big heads were also slightly bowed, they smiled heartily.
The song and dance also subsided at this time, and the dancers gathered again, and the long water sleeves were like a calm lake, scattered on the ground. The breeze floated through the hall with the veils on their faces, and the officials and businessmen who watched scratched their hearts, but they couldn't always see the faces behind the veils.
Zhao Wenyi said with a smile: "How about making Lord Jun think this song and dance?" ”
It is said that Ye Yingwu is the host of this invitation, but who among the people here really dares to let this old man pay for it, so in fact, Ye Yingwu is willing to invite guests, and all businessmen are willing to pay for it, and now Zhao Wenyi's tone is clearly treating this young master as a guest rather than the host of the banquet.
Ye Yingwu was also happy to be with this, and said with a smile at the moment: "It seems that it is like a light cloud covering the moon, fluttering like the snow of the wind, and it should have the posture of Luoshen Lingbo." ”
To be so praised by the envoy of Mengye is naturally the honor of the dancers, and under the leadership of the singer, the dancers leaned down slightly to show their respect. You must know that in this drunken spring breeze, even this song and dance is not something that ordinary people can see, even if Zhao Wenyi is first-class, he has only seen it once or twice. So for these dancers, bowing slightly can already represent a deep respect.
didn't expect Ye Yingwu to casually pick up two sentences in "Luo Shen Fu", Zhao Wenyi found a knowing smile on the corner of his mouth, and nodded slightly at ** Chunfang, who had been standing quietly in the corner behind Ye Yingwu at some point. In an instant, a trace of sadness flashed on Chunfang's face, what did Zhao Wenyi mean How could she not understand, originally Chunfang really didn't mind letting this new daughter, who had already fascinated countless visitors within a few days of being listed, go to woo Ye Yingwu, who was originally half a member of her family.
But······ However, I know that this kind of thing can only knock out teeth and swallow blood, Chunfang didn't dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction in front of these uncles, but instead had a soft smile on her face, and nodded slightly at Zhao Wenyi and Shen Fei, who were looking at her, Zhao Wenyi didn't plan to buy the drunken spring breeze Oiran by himself, and in the end it was Shen Fei and others who paid the money, although it was a mountain of gold and silver, but Shen Fei and these businessmen naturally didn't frown at all in order to get Ye Yingwu's support, and even raised their hands to welcome, And for this very eye-catching Zhao Wenyi and Zhao Tongju, I have a lot of good feelings.
However, at this time, Ye Yingwu, the person in the bureau, did not know that he had been arranged by Zhao Wenyi and others for today's nightlife, although the singing and dancing gradually subsided, this Ye Yuanjun did not have the slightest tired look, and still held a wine glass and chatted with a group of officials who responded without a word.
And Jiang Hao, who was beside Ye Yingwu, just gulped down the delicacies on the table, and didn't care at all about the desperate looks of the officials, so that Jiang Hao had been branded as a "reckless man" in the hearts of many officials, and even many people secretly scolded Jiang Hao for disgrace to the dignified Bailuzhou Academy.
It can be seen that although Ye Yingwu is still dashing, he is actually a little impatient, and Zhao Wenyi, who has been reconciling this official businessman and this elusive Ye Envoy, immediately performed his duties, and once again glanced at Chunfang.
Chunfang, who was in a mess and very entangled in her heart, had long taken into account the situation in the middle of the game, until she noticed Zhao Wenyi's gaze before she realized her gaffe, and with a slight wave of her handkerchief at the moment, the dancers in all kinds of costumes appeared again, but this time it was a light blue outfit of Qiqi, adding a touch of coolness in the middle of summer, and the sleeves were also thin and light gauze, and her hair was pulled up high and scattered, and she really felt like a fairy in the sky.
Although the dancers still wore veils, it was clear that the veil was lighter than the previous ones, and there was no difference between them and not wearing a veil. And the pretty face that has always attracted people's reverie is finally faintly revealed.
It's really a pretty fairy!
Even Jiang Hao, a pure fierce general, couldn't help but swallow lightly and spit at the mouth, and the leg of mutton in his hand was almost not held, but Jiang Hao immediately subconsciously compared with his own Lan Qing in his heart, these dancers are really not far behind.
It's just that Lan Qing and Hongyu are already Jia Yufeng's one in a million, but now these dancing girls are like this, and the spring breeze ** can support the drunk spring breeze proudly in Lin'an with their own strength, and there are also some means. What's more, the dancer who led the dance and sang just now is even more beautiful, better than the surrounding dancers, but compared with the woman who is noble and elegant in her gestures and is difficult to climb, this leading dancer has a three-dimensional red dust atmosphere.
The dancers sat down in turn, and at Chunfang's level, it was naturally not bad, and even the businessmen in the corner had a dancer to accompany them. And the woman who led the dance naturally sat beside Ye Yingwu with gentle steps.
Looking at Ye Yuanjun who rolled his eyes, Jiang Hao smiled maliciously, fortunately, he was still a person who had been taught etiquette and could be regarded as a disciple of the family, so he didn't laugh out loud after all. It is absolutely impossible for the soldiers of the Tianwu Army to disgrace the envoy outside.
Ye Yingwu smiled awkwardly, handed over the empty wine glass, and said softly: "I don't know what the little lady is called?" ”
The dancing girl was stunned, she didn't have seen the officials and businessmen, but she was still a "little lady" when she opened her mouth, you must know that in the Song Dynasty, this is a noble title that only women from good families have, and they are these lowly dancers, and the standard title is "Miss".
Gently looking at the man in front of him who was not outstanding, but with a high-spirited and heroic temperament that those noble sons who chanted poetry every day did not have, the dancer said softly: "The cheap maid is called 'Qiong Luan', and the adult is called 'Qiong Niang'." ”
At this moment, the following situation was already different, and the officials who were familiar with these routines hugged the dancing girls and laughed loudly, as if this was the posture they should show at the banquet, but it was the posture of those merchants who were bound to respect these dancing girls.
But after all, Ye Yingwu who was seated didn't have anything yet, and the officials below were not too out of line, so they could only talk about poetry and songs while laughing, just waiting for Ye Yingwu to lose his temper, and he could be polite to the dancing girl who was close at hand.
However, Ye Yuanjun just asked Qiong Luan to fill him with wine, and his eagle-like sharp gaze did not fall on Qiong Luan beside him, but swept over the officials and merchants below. The people who noticed Ye Yingwu's gaze subconsciously shuddered, and their unruly hands quietly retracted a lot.
"It is a great pleasure to be here with you today. It's getting late, so if you want to go, please take care of yourself. If you want to rest here, the cost of this bed is not far beyond the reach of Yuanlie. Ye Yingwu stood up and held the wine glass flat with both hands.
The officials subconsciously glanced at each other, and then suddenly realized that it was not to make Lord Jun clean and self-conscious, but that he couldn't wipe his face when he was young, and he couldn't wait now, isn't this just driving everyone away?
Although he felt that Ye Yingwu would not be so reckless, Zhao Wenyi still led a group of officials to stand up and respectfully accept Ye Yingwu's toast, and a few people immediately praised loudly, boasting about this banquet to the Lanting Flowing Water and Tengwang Pavilion.
Listening to the rolling compliments, Ye Yingwu just smiled lightly and drank all the wine in the cup. And Jiang Hao frowned, after all, he didn't say anything, before coming to this Longxing Mansion, Lu Xiufu and Su Liuyi told him to obey Ye Yingwu's command in everything, and to ensure Ye Yingwu's safety. No matter what Ye Yingwu did now, Jiang Hao listened carefully, anyway, there was nothing around these powerless officials and businessmen who could threaten Ye Yingwu's personal safety.
The young man in black drank a glass of wine, his face was flushed, and he looked drunk, so he leaned on Qiong Luan's shoulder. Although he didn't know why this envoy who was still alive just now suddenly looked drunk, and he didn't know what he should do, Qiong Luan could only helplessly support Ye Yingwu, looking around a little dazedly, but found that the people in the field had left one after another, and occasionally someone turned around and revealed obscene glances.
It's just a little girl, Qiong Luan's pretty face is red for no reason.
It's just that as soon as he turned the screen in the back hall, the spotless young man in white gently shook his fan and walked over. Jiang Hao, who was loyal to his duty behind Ye Yingwu, subconsciously rolled his eyes, and by the time the young man in white looked at it again, there was no shadow for a long time.
As for the other Tianwu Army soldiers, they had no intention of following up at all.
Qiongluan, the little flower girl who was drunk with the spring breeze, smiled softly, and the young man in white smiled at Ye Yuanjun, who was full of wine: "Husband, you can really enjoy it." ”
Ye Yuanjun struck a radical spirit straight, touched his nose while standing up straight, and said self-deprecatingly: "Isn't it so pretending to be like that······"
And Qiong Luan, who was standing on the side, was already dumbfounded.
No wonder, no wonder Jiang Ho's expression was so weird and rich, and he ran so fast.
Because the rest seems to be Ye Yuanjun's family matter, Jiang Hao is not stupid.
