"Benhou's guard?" After listening to Hongluan's words, Li Yuntian couldn't help but feel very surprised, but then he was relieved.

If he is not mistaken, at the end of the second year of Xuande, he led the vanguard of the Xiaowu Army to rush to Xuanhua Mansion first, and the situation in Xuanhua Mansion was chaotic at that time, and it was not difficult for him to stabilize the situation, and it was not impossible for Hongluan to be rescued at that time.

It's just that Li Yuntian doesn't know who the guards surnamed Zhao in Hongluan's mouth are, the surname Zhao is a big surname, and several of the guards who followed him to Jiaozhi back then were surnamed Zhao.

"Zhenwu Hou, Ben Hou thinks this is a happy event, it is rare that Miss Hongluan has the heart to repay her kindness, you might as well push the boat to fulfill her, it is also a good talk." At this time, Xue Lu, who was standing beside Li Yuntian, laughed and spoke.

"Since Yangwu Hou pleaded with you, then Ben Hou promised you that as long as your dance tonight can win the warm applause of the guests at the scene, then Ben Hou will call the shots for you." Li Yuntian also laughed when he heard this, and after a deep groan, he said to Hongluan, the so-called teacher is famous, and he must always have an excuse to fulfill Hongluan.

In Li Yuntian's opinion, with Hongluan's beauty is enough to become the concubine of Liu Guard, that kid can be said to have hit a big luck.

"Hongluan has thanked the two Hou Ye." Hongluan was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly touched the ground with his head to thank him.

"Get up, I hope the dance at night won't disappoint Benhou." Li Yuntian glanced at Hongluan with a smile, then stretched out his hand to make a gesture of please, and left with Xue Lu in a lively manner surrounded by everyone.

"Are you crazy, don't let go of the good Hou Ye, and want to commit yourself to a guard?" After Li Yuntian left, Zijuan, who was blessed and respectful, straightened up and looked at Hongluan who was kneeling on the ground with a look of disbelief on his face.

At first, Zijuan thought that Hongluan was playing some tricks, but when Hongluan made a request, she was taken aback, and she never expected that Zijuan would choose a guard by Zhenwuhou's side.

"You haven't experienced life and death, and you don't know if you have the indescribable complex state of mind that you were rescued when you were desperate, like a drowning person grabbing a straw on the shore, and like a ray of dawn blooming in the darkness." Hongluan got up and patted the dust on her dress, and smiled at Zijuan, her eyes were full of relief and shyness, "I didn't expect to meet him again now." ”

"In this way, your future will be completely ruined, you are the Oiran of Jiangnan, how can you enter those rich and noble families on your terms, why bother to live that kind of bitter life with a guard?"

Zijuan saw that Hongluan was smiling at herself unusually, and the smile revealed a shy look of a little daughter, so she couldn't help but widen her eyes, looking at Zijuan quite incredulously, she could see that Hongluan seemed to really like the little guard.

"When someone can make you haunted and worry about you, you will understand why I did it." Hongluan didn't explain too much to Zijuan, but smiled at her slightly, and sat back in front of her dresser, feeling very brisk.

"Haunted by dreams, worried day and night?" Zijuan couldn't help muttering to herself when she heard this, and the image of Chen Guangzong immediately appeared in front of her, at this time she could already understand Hongluan's state of mind, because she was willing to do anything for Chen Guangzong, and she had some sympathy with Hongluan.

After coming out of the wing room where Hongluan and Zijuan were, Li Yuntian and Xue Lu went to the banquet hall, where there were six beautifully carved solid wood large round tables in a living room of Nuoda.

Li Yuntian sat at the head of the main table, and the noble Xue Lu arranged it on his left hand, and on his right hand was a waiter from the Ministry of Industry in Nanjing.

The banquet hall of the lecture hall is a circular two-storey attic, and six solid wood round tables are arranged in a circle in the hall, leaving a space in the middle for watching performances.

Because the six solid wood round tables are placed on a concentric circle, so that you can enjoy the singing and dancing in the field equally, and will not make the guests feel left out because of the location, after all, many of the distinguished guests who can come to this banquet are similar in status, and there are gaps between them, it is difficult to arrange the seats to everyone's satisfaction, so it is better to take this way to balance the interests of all parties.

In fact, Li Yuntian's move refers to the European "round table" model, which can best make people feel psychologically balanced on a concentric circle.

In the midst of everyone's conversation and laughter, the people served the wine and food in an orderly manner, and Li Yuntian's treat was naturally not an ordinary dish, but a carefully selected cochin dish.

Obviously, these dignitaries and nobles here are pampered on weekdays and have eaten all the delicacies of the mountains and seas of the Ming Dynasty, so it is better to win by surprise and satisfy their picky appetite with Jiaozhi dishes that they have never eaten.

Sure enough, as those cochin dishes were served to the table one after another, everyone talked about it one after another, and they all knew a lot about food, but it was the first time they had seen the dishes of the southwestern frontier.

The subordinates would give the name of each dish and explain how to use it, and soon the table was filled with sumptuous dishes.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Ben Hou has been in Yangzhou for many days thanks to your care, today I invite you to come to enjoy the peerless style of this Jiangnan Oiran Conference Oiran and Ya Kui, this glass of wine Ben Hou thank you for appreciating the light." After the dishes were served, Li Yuntian picked up the wine glass in front of him, got up and said to the guests present with a smile.

"Respect the Marquis!" Hearing this, everyone got up one after another, raised their wine glasses to salute Li Yuntian, and it was also an honor to receive Li Yuntian's invitation, highlighting their identity and status.

After the first glass of wine, the evening banquet officially began, a group of singing and dancing girls poured into the arena and danced in the sound of festive music, Li Yuntian talked and laughed with the people at the same table while drinking, and the atmosphere of the scene was very warm.

After a few songs, the singers and dancers in the field quickly retreated, and the people present looked at the entrance, only to see two beautiful women, one red and one purple, walking in graceful figures, among which the woman in the purple skirt was still holding a simple guzheng in her hand, which was Hongluan and Zijuan.

"Hongluan greets the Marquis of Zhenwu and all the distinguished guests."

"Zijuan greets the Marquis of Zhenwu and all the distinguished guests."

Hongluan and Zijuan stopped at the round table where Li Yuntian was sitting, and since they had already put on makeup, they were exempted from kneeling and bowing, and they all bowed to Li Yuntian.

"No courtesy." Li Yuntian smiled and raised his hand to the two of them, glanced at Hongluan, and said in a meaningful voice, "If the two girls' music and dance tonight can satisfy the distinguished guests on the scene, Benhou will be rewarded!" ”

"Master Xie!" Hongluan and Zijuan responded coquettishly when they heard this, and then straightened up, and when they came, they happened to look at Li Yuntian, who was sitting in front of them.

"Zhao Gongzi?" When Hongluan looked up at Li Yuntian sitting opposite, he was slightly stunned at first, and then showed a look of surprise on his face, and couldn't help but whisper.

Although Hongluan's voice was very small, Zijuan beside him could hear it clearly, and couldn't help but glance at Hongluan curiously, seeing that she looked at Li Yuntian in surprise, with a look of disbelief on her face, she suddenly felt a little puzzled in her heart, not knowing what was wrong with Hongluan, why she suddenly became so out of shape.

"Lord Hou, it is a blessing for the two women to be able to perform for Lord Hou and all the distinguished guests, how dare you ask for a reward." However, now this kind of occasion is obviously not the time to ask Hongluan what happened, in order to make Hongluan's strange appearance not noticed by everyone at the scene, Zijuan said a word to Li Yuntian in a coquettish voice, and then asked Hongluan, "Sister Hongluan, do you say this is the reason?" ”

"That's what the folk girl means." Hearing Zijuan's question, Hongluan suddenly came back to his senses, hurriedly bowed to Li Yuntian, and replied with suppressed excitement.

She never imagined that Li Yuntian was the famous Zhenwu Marquis, but how could this be possible? When she was in Xuanhua Mansion, Marquis Zhenwu was obviously resting in the room, and it was only Marquis Zhenwu's guards who saved her!

Hongluan's mind was now a mess, she didn't know where the business trip was, Li Yuntian, who was supposed to be a guard, would become the famous Zhenwu Marquis.

"Ben Hou has always had clear rewards and punishments, as long as the two girls can win the applause of the house, then Ben Hou will definitely reward him heavily." Since Hongluan was six or seven meters away from Li Yuntian, Li Yuntian didn't notice her previous subtle psychological changes, and immediately laughed when he heard this, with this foreshadowing, he could achieve Hongluan's wish later.

"What's wrong with you? Now is not the time to think about it! Hongluan and Zijuan bowed to Li Yuntian again, turned around and walked towards the middle of the field, Zijuan whispered as he walked and reminded Hongluan, who was in turmoil beside him, that if there was a business trip on such a grand occasion, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Hongluan knew that Zijuan was right, so she bit her lip and tried to calm down her excited mood, trying to calm down the chaotic feelings.

How could Li Yuntian know Hongluan's thoughts at this time, chatting and laughing with Xue Lu and others there, waiting for Hongluan and Zijuan's wonderful performances.

Soon after, the scene gradually quieted down, and everyone looked at the slim Hongluan in the field with great interest, Zijuan sat in front of the guzheng on the side and prepared to stroke the qin, looked up at Li Yuntian, and waited for Li Yuntian's performance to start.

Seeing this, Li Yuntian smiled and raised his hand to Zijuan, Zijuan immediately stroked the piano surface with both hands, and the melodious notes filled the room, and at the same time, Hongluan also waved his sleeves and danced in a thousand postures.

After the discussion between Hongluan and Zijuan, the two decided to use bright and festive tunes at the dinner to set off the cheerful atmosphere of the banquet.

Although they have grievances with each other, they both have deep attainments in music, so the two use music as a bridge to cooperate, and perfectly integrate music and dance, which can be said to be just the right way to play the talents of the two.

"Zhenwu Hou, Ben Hou heard that the leader of this year's Oiran Conference is equal to the sub-kui, and now I see that the rumors are true, if it is left in the past, the purple cuckoo girl must be the Oiran." Glancing at the red luan dancing lightly and dexterously in the audience, and the purple juan caressing the piano like flowing clouds, Xue Lu said to Li Yuntian with a smile, admiring the two of them.

"If Yang Wuhou is interested in the Purple Juan Girl, Ben Hou can pull the strings from it and complete this golden and jade relationship." Li Yuntian laughed when he heard this, and said to Xue Lu.

"As the saying goes, a talented man is a beautiful woman, Ben Hou is a rough man, if the purple girl follows Ben Hou, she will definitely be wronged." Xue Lu had already heard that Li Yuntian had a good attitude towards Zijuan, so how could he win people's love, so he waved his hand to Li Yuntian with a smile.

"Hou Ye can't be presumptuous, the prince is a hero, and a hero and a beautiful woman are a perfect match." Li Yuntian also laughed when he heard this, complimented Xue Lu and then touched the wine glass with him, and then the two drank it all and continued to talk and laugh there.
