Chapter 349: The Guest of the Curtain
That's it? I haven't taken advantage of anything! Lord Lin was disappointed for a while, stood for a while, and was about to step forward, when he suddenly heard the sound of a carriage wheeling, and a carriage drove slowly over. The handlebar jumped down and said, "Master, are you calling a car?" β
Lin Wanrong was overjoyed and nodded hurriedly: "It's me, it's me!" Uncle, where is the person who went to call your car just now? β
"What do you mean by that young lady?" The handlebar took out a silver ingot from his bosom: "She's such a good person." Gave me such a big ingot of silver, and told me to come and pick you up, why, aren't you all the way with her? β
Lord Lin nodded secretly, it was effective to be furious, no matter what kind of fairy and goddess she was, she must not give her a good look. As the saying goes, if you don't fight for three days, you can go to the house to uncover the tiles, and women must not get used to it, so they have to scold and love by the way.
"Oh, she's a maid in my family, maybe she did something else at my wife's behest." Lord Lin grinned, glanced around, and didn't see where Ning Yuxi was hidden, so he boarded the carriage and got into the compartment: "Uncle, you know the Chengwang Mansion, let's go there for a walk!" β
Seeing that the young man was amiable, the handlebar became bolder, and he gently lowered the curtain and said: "King Cheng, you know, his old man is a well-known virtuous king, kind and kind, and good to the people around him, everyone says that if he wants to be the emperor, our people will be blessed-" He hurriedly stopped halfway through his speech, obviously realizing that he had committed a taboo, and said with a sneer: "Learn from the old man's nonsense, sir, you don't have to take it seriously." β
"What did you say?" Lin Wan Rongqi said: "I just turned my ears back, but I didn't hear anything, can you say it again?" The handlebar smiled gratefully, and hurriedly urged the carriage to speed away.
The mansion of King Cheng is far away from the palace, showing the trend of echoing from north to south, covering an extremely wide area, afraid that there are dozens of acres, looking at it from afar, the red tile high wall, the pavilions and pavilions, the momentum is very majestic. The mansion given to Lin Wanrong by the emperor was already considered earth, but compared with this palace, it was not a grade at all, and the only thing that could be compared to it was probably the palace.
There are two huge lanterns hanging in front of the Chengwang Gate, and a pair of purple gold rings are fastened on the tall vermilion lacquer gate, and a golden plaque is written on it - Chengwang Mansion!
When Lin Wanrong got out of the car, King Cheng was already waiting at the door, looking at him with a fist and a smile: "Lord Lin is coming to our mansion, this king has lost his welcome, rudeness, rudeness!" β
"Oh, what is the prince talking about!" Lin Wanrong smiled: "Little brother took the liberty to come to your mansion to disturb, and it should be me who said I was sorry." Oh, little prince, you're there too. I haven't seen you for a long time, and you are becoming more and more handsome and dashing Yushu in the wind, and you are almost better than me. β
Zhao Kangning's handsome cheeks **. Forced to smile and said: "Lord Lin is a distinguished guest in my house, and my father will go out to greet him in person, and Kang Ning should be waiting here." β
Lin Wanrong walked up to him and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "The little prince is too polite, we have known each other in Jinling, and we are old acquaintances, why do you want to see each other like this?" The old prince, the little prince, please-" He was anti-guest, and modestly invited King Cheng's father and son to go first, and the three of them entered the house.
King Cheng is the only brother of the emperor today, his status is noble can be imagined, the corridor is brightly lit, the lanterns are colorful, three steps a gold silk lantern, five steps a Liuli lamp, everywhere is full of flowers, servants gather, so lively!
Seeing Lin Wanrong looking around all the way, as if he had never seen the world, Zhao Kangning smiled contemptuously, and King Cheng also glanced at him lightly and did not speak.
"Hey, old prince, what's that?" Lin Wanrong pointed to a strange scene in the distance and said curiously.
King Cheng and his son looked up, only to see a huge pool not far from the garden, a huge wooden windmill was slowly turning, pumping out the pool water, throwing it high, and falling into the pool, splashing beautiful splashes. The windmill is propelled by manpower, and three strong men constantly push the stirring rod to sweep the water into the sky.
"Oh, this is a kind of waterwheel that this king saw when he was in Yunnan in the past, and I liked it very much at that time, and after returning to Beijing, I asked some craftsmen to make one. When there is wind, this waterwheel will slowly rotate and throw out the pond water, which is very beautiful. This king gave him a name, called Feng Shengshui Qi," said Seiwang with a smile.
"Wind and water?" Lin Wanrong nodded and gave a thumbs up: "The old prince is really knowledgeable, much better than me." If you want to call me a name, it's almost the same as calling an old cow to absorb water. β
Zhao Kangning smiled coldly, what kind of miscellaneous are you, just a little family, you are the next person among the subordinates, in the past, you were not worthy of lifting shoes for me, how can you compare with my father.
"Hey, old prince, what is this? What a big snake! Lin Wanrong pointed to a nearby landscape and sighed. It was a serpentine carved from the trunk of a tree, coiled sideways on the water of a small stream, and its limbs were thick and long, with horns on the top of its head, many whiskers on the sides of its mouth, and its eyes were full of evil, and its teeth and claws were dancing, and its momentum was extraordinary. The body is also made of yellow gold, and the gold scales are inlaid one after another, which is very spiritual.
"This is a small golden dragon carved by the king who has nothing to do and asks the craftsmen to carve it for decoration." King Cheng's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile.
"Oh," Lin Wanrong nodded, "It turned out to be a carved little golden dragon playing." Old prince, it's good to have that name just now, I don't know if your old man named this little golden dragon? β
"Well, not yet." King Cheng smiled, "Lord Lin is so interested, why don't you give it a name?" β
Lord Lin smiled shyly: "This, it's not very good, I have low knowledge and little knowledge, and I'm afraid that I will scare everyone by choosing a name - there is water and fish in this creek, and there is a golden dragon, so it is better to call it a 'mixed fish and dragon', it is very appropriate, hehe!" β
Zhao Kangning couldn't hold back any longer, and snorted: "What 'fish and dragon mix', this is called dragon trapped in shallow water, and my father has already taken a name." β
"Oh-" Lord Lin opened his eyes wide, dragged out his voice, and looked surprised: "It was originally called 'Dragon Sleepy Shallow Water', and it is really knowledgeable!" 'Wind and water', 'dragon trapped in shallow water', tsk, what do these two mean? Alas, I've been reading too much lately, and my brain is broken, and I can't remember it for a while. β
Zhao Kangning impulsively opened his mouth, and he knew that something bad was wrong, King Cheng glared at him majestically, and the little prince didn't dare to speak anymore. He was standing beside Lin Wanrong at this time, and a faint smell of tobacco came, Lin Wanrong felt a pang in his heart, and glanced at Zhao Kangning deeply. No wonder those Turkic cubs are so relaxed, it turns out that there are secret hands! Lao Tzu gave them a Fak cannon, and he really didn't wronged them.
Lord Lin pondered for a long time. sighed: "Alas, speaking of which, the emperor also invited me to visit the inner courtyard of the palace a few days ago. But compared to the prince, that scene, that momentum, tsk-"
"How?" King Cheng's eyes sparkled and he asked softly.
"Except for the place in the palace that is a few inches bigger than here, the rest is far behind. There are no gold lanterns, no riedmonts. There is no wind and water, and there is no such vivid little golden dragon. Lin Wanrong shook his head and sighed: 'The dragon is trapped in shallow water', 'The wind and water rise'! Old prince, it seems that the emperor's life is very tense! β
"Really?" King Cheng snorted: "Lord Lin, let's not delay here, let's go into the back room quickly, your lords are still waiting for us." β
The three of them went straight to the hall, where there were sandalwood tables and chairs, and a big red carpet. The jade carved railing, the decoration is magnificent. The hall has long been filled with fine wine and delicacies, and dozens of beautiful maids are waiting on the side, charming and special.
There were already several people sitting in the guest room, and Lord Lin looked at them one by one, but there were many fresh faces and few familiar faces. In fact, although he was a deputy attendant of the ministry, he was hanging a vacant position, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and he didn't know anything except Xu Wei and Li Tai.
"Hey, Brother Su Zhuangyuan, are you here too?" Finally seeing an acquaintance sitting on the seat near the top, Lin Wanrong immediately showed a sincere and friendly smile on his face, and greeted him warmly.
Su Mubai nodded slightly to him, which was regarded as a return gift, and King Cheng smiled and said: "Lord Lin, the people invited by this king to the banquet today are all colleagues and colleagues in the DPRK and China, but there is nothing to be restrained. Come, come, come, you just sit here! β
As soon as he finished speaking, he personally pulled Lin Wanrong and went to the top host and guest seat. Lord Lin was taken aback, ouch, the old guy is cheating, this hall is full of scholars, prime ministers, scholars, which is not a first-class master. He just pulled me a deputy department-level cadre to sit in the top seat, didn't he deliberately embarrass me? Lord Lin laughed and said: "Lord Wang, this top table should naturally be reserved for the most distinguished guests, I still don't sit down, ** will have sores!" β
King Cheng smiled heartily: "Lord Lin is polite, you are the most honored guest of this king." At a young age, he was favored by the saint, became the deputy attendant of the ministry, and was personally named by the emperor as 'the first Ding in the world', the dragon of the saint's family, no one can give you the right. In time, it is not a problem for Lord Lin to be crowned as a general, and it is not unusual to seal a prince with a different surname. Let everyone say, if you don't sit down, who else will sit? β
"Yes, yes, it's time for Lord Lin to take a seat." The officials in the audience made a noise together, but there were different expressions in their eyes, ridicule, disdain, envy, jealousy, and so on. King Cheng glanced at Su Mubai, only to see that he didn't squint, raised the pot to fill the wine glass, and poured it into his neck with a sharp tilt of his head.
"Alas, what I'm best at doing in my life is **. Sitting at the table is really not my specialty. However, since you look up to me, I will sit reluctantly. The emperor will accuse me of not distinguishing between dignity and inferiority, and the number of courtesies is incomplete, and everyone will testify for me. Lin Wanrong said with an embarrassed face, and everyone responded with a bang, urging Lord Lin to sit at the head of the table modestly.
Seeing Lin Wanrong seated, King Cheng's father and son also sat down on the main seat, and the wine and delicacies were served one after another, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, King Cheng swept his eyes and laughed loudly: "This is the first time since the beginning of spring this year that this king has invited all colleagues to a banquet, please relax your hearts and enjoy yourself." Come onβ"
He clapped his hands, and Nana suddenly walked into more than a dozen beautiful women outside the door, smiling and walking in front of everyone to salute, and several women hugged the pipa and silk bamboo, and played music. Under the influence of the music, the adults gradually let go, laughing with the beautiful women around them, and for a while, the laughter was endless, and the atmosphere was very lively. However, the new champion Su Mubai did not smile at the beauties around him. One person was drinking sullen wine, which seemed a little out of place.
King Cheng looked at Su Mubai, glanced at Lin San again, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Lord Lin had already eaten wild meat at Hu Ren's place this afternoon. Sitting on the top, everyone was looking at him, very uncomfortable, although the woman who accompanied the wine next to him looked delicate, but he was a little less interested. But seeing that everyone was having fun, he also touched the little girl's little face and said flirtatiously, "Little sister, how old are you this year?" β
"The slave family is sixteen." The little sister lowered her head and said shyly.
"Sixteen? I can't stop watching! Lord Lin stared at her crisp breasts and swallowed: "Sixteen is so big?" I don't think anyone else can grow as big as you at twenty-six. β
"Your Excellency, you're dead." The little sister gently twisted a few times and threw herself into his arms and coquettishly.
Damn, my twenty-six-year-old sister still came to pretend to be tender with me. When Lao Tzu doesn't know the goods? King Cheng's conscience was eaten by a dog, and he invited me to sit on the throne, but he dared to be shoddy. Pretending to be old and young, thinking that Lao Tzu was the first brother who came out to mix for the first time?
Lord Lin smiled, drank all the wine in the cup, and let the "little sister" rub and twist on his body, he was majestic and immovable.
King Cheng watched and listened to all directions, and saw that although Lord Lin was talking and laughing with the woman next to him, he didn't have the slightest intention of making a move, so he smiled and said, "What, Lord Lin, could it be that this girl is not to your taste?" β
"I have a unique taste, and most people can't serve me." Lin Wanrong grinned and raised his glass: "Old prince, I salute you, your 'dragon sleepy shallow water' and 'wind and water' have made me a lot of knowledge." β
King Cheng smiled and drank a cup of wine and said, "Lord Lin, don't panic, there will be more exciting things later." He tapped his palms lightly, and the silk and bamboo in the field suddenly stopped, and even the happy women who were laughing with everyone also fell silent. There was a sudden silence in the field.
"Knock-" The strings sounded softly, like a small hammer striking on everyone's hearts, and the sound of the strings became louder, like jade beads falling on the plate, crisp into the ears.
A woman's voice whispered:
"The human sea is deep, not half lovesick.
There is still no end to the sea, and there is no end to lovesickness.
Carry the piano to the high-rise building, and the building is full of moonlight.
Playing the acacia song, the strings were broken for a while. β
I don't know when, there is a white screen in the field, and a curvy, plump and attractive figure falls through the screen in the eyes of everyone, adding a lot of mystery. The woman's voice behind the screen is clear, as if it can penetrate the jade, beat the drum and ring the bell, accompanied by the continuous sound of the piano, interpreting the lingering sympathy of this lovesickness, which is very touching.
The audience is full of talented people, just listening to this song, you know that this woman is not an ordinary person, and then look at the woman's graceful figure and curves, and suddenly began to turn heads and ears.
King Cheng smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't have to guess, this is not a celebrity in the Eight Great Hutongs." Those vulgar fans in the eight alleys, how can they be compared with this beauty. β
As soon as he waved his hand, the screen was automatically closed, and a charming and moving figure appeared in front of everyone. I saw that the woman was wearing a light purple gown with a thin silk scarf covering her face. The body shape is like a weak willow supporting the wind, gently swaying, with a thin waist, enlarged breasts and buttocks, outlining an infinitely beautiful curve. Just looking at this figure, you can know that the woman must have a peerless appearance.
The woman's figure is calm, she stands freely, elegant but with breasts and buttocks, indescribable temptation, indescribable charm.
King Cheng himself was stunned for a long time, a trace of infatuation flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a trace of firmness, and said with a smile: "Today's spring flowers are blooming, and it is a good day to enter the pavilion." Taking advantage of the beautiful scenery tonight, this king will give everyone a big gift. This young lady is a fairy-like beautiful woman, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, swords, guns, swords, halberds, and ordinary people are not her opponents. Today, everyone in the field has their own abilities, if anyone can win a smile from the beauty, they can be the guest of this beauty! β
A guest of the curtain? The hundreds of officials in the field are five or six people in the court on weekdays, and they are all graceful and suave when they come down, and they think they are very. Seeing this fairy-like woman close in front of him, if he can have a night of joy with her, he will definitely be happy to beat the immortals.
"Lord Wang, how to win a smile from a beautiful woman?!" A pot-bellied old man asked.
King Cheng smiled and said, "Well, it's up to you." Telling jokes, dancing, singing, eighteen kinds of martial arts can be used, how to make her laugh, you can come. The young lady said, a good night is short, and it is difficult to buy a smile, if anyone makes her laugh sincerely, it is her guest of the scene. β
Everyone immediately talked about it, making the beauty laugh, and it was not difficult to put it on an ordinary acquaintance. But this woman who suddenly appeared has an unknown background and unknown personality, and it may not be so simple to make her smile.
Damn, that's okay too? Lord Lin stared wide-eyed. King Cheng looked at him and smiled mysteriously, and said softly, "Lord Lin, don't you have a unique taste?" How's that, does this young lady suit your taste? β
"Alas!" Lin Wanrong sighed slightly: "Lord Wang, I am really a very serious person, I never mess with flowers and grass - oh, by the way, let this young lady smile, can I really be her guest at the scene?" Lord Wang, you're not a liar, are you? β
"This king is full of words." King Cheng's eyes flashed, and his face sank into the water: "If you want to make her laugh, she is yours!" β
