Wine, food, all kinds of melons and fruits are placed on a table, the shipbuilding industry that began to take shape in the Tang Dynasty has built a shipbuilding that can carry hundreds of ships, on the ship, more than 20 tables are placed, more than 100 people can have a banquet at the same time, in the position of the bow of the ship, there are bead curtains and screens to separate, you can't see inside.

I guess it's a venue for some cabaret performances.

After hearing Mr. Su greet everyone to the table, Liu Yuan specially picked an unnoticeable corner and sat with some talented people who were dressed ordinarily and didn't seem to be very ambitious.

In the eyes of many scholars, he is just a businessman full of copper smell, even sitting here, there are two pretentious talents who deliberately ignore themselves, fortunately, the thin and tall brother who talked about "Xu Jiudou" with him just now is also there, and the two of them say a few words from time to time, which is also embarrassing.

Chief?

Don't think about it, it was the Assassin Shi, Sima, Mr. Su and Xu Hongji who were sitting, and Liu Yuan didn't want to sit either, what he was thinking about now was how to show the jewelry he brought, so that the name of the Jinyu family would be louder among these scholars, dignitaries, and nobles.

"Good wine, good wine~~ Tianfu Xiang, good wine, it's just too expensive, reluctant to drink more."

"Yes, yes, yes, this wine is full of energy, it seems that the more you drink it, the more mellow it becomes, and I have to drink enough today."

As soon as everyone sat down, they were not polite to pick up the food and drink, the ancients were good at wine, especially the literati and high rollers, thinking that wine could make them more heroic and inspired, and many people sat down, the first thing they did was to pick up the wine jug and pour wine into their own cups, admiring while pouring.

Poor scholars, but there are not so many opportunities to enjoy.

Liu Yuan's alcohol consumption is average, while unhurriedly sandwiching the dishes, the tall and thin man who is most suitable for him chatted, and learned that his name is Qin Lang, and his family is also in business, no wonder the two of them cherish each other so much, it turns out that they have the experience of being looked at by those pretentious guys.

Talking a little deeper, Qin Lang inadvertently revealed that his family ransomed salt, not used ox carts to pull donkey packs, and people used ships to transport them.

In the 21st century, with his appearance, figure and family background, he is definitely a rich teacher.

"Brother Qin, you are such a romantic party, you must be admired by many beautiful women in ordinary times, if it is convenient, I will also introduce one to my younger brother." The two got acquainted, Liu Yuan joked.

Qin Lang smiled silently: "Where, Brother Liu, you are joking." ”

"Really, I can tell if you say you're not welcome, unless ~~~"

"Unless what?" Qin Lang asked curiously.

Liu Yuan analyzed with a sly face: "If a man wants to attract beautiful women, there are three conditions that are very important, Pan An's appearance, Deng Tong's wealth, and donkey-sized goods, I see Brother Qin's Yushu is in the wind, his appearance is dignified, and his family is a big salt merchant who is rich enough to rival the country, if this can't attract beauties, it can't be ~~~~ hey"

"What~?" Qin Lang recalled Liu Yuan's words, and paused for a moment, with his intelligence, he immediately heard that Liu Yuan was laughing at himself. This is really level, but it is crude but philosophical.

Man, how can you say that you can't do it.

Qin Lang smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Liu, you are really good at laughing, it's just ~~ Alas, the problem of the portal." ”

"What's the matter, the official woman, looks down on Brother Qin's talent?"

"No, no, no," Qin Lang leaned close to Liu Yuan's ear and said: "I am not satisfied with Brother Liu, what the younger brother likes is the Qing people." ”

What the? This Qin Lang likes this tune? With his conditions, everyone's ladies, young daughters, and Xiaojia Jasper can be picked, but he didn't expect him to be so peculiar and like the women of Qinglou.

House flowers are not as fragrant as wildflowers?

"If your family doesn't agree, come to a golden house to hide Jiao, when you have children, the big and the small will be brought home together, and the children will be called elders, I don't believe it, and there are old people who don't love their juniors" Liu Yuan started to be a dog-headed military advisor to help him out.

Qin Lang shook his head and said, "It's not that my father doesn't agree, in fact, my father is very open-minded, it's that the woman's temperament is very high, alas~~"

Liu Yuangang wanted to ask the Qing man who had such a personality, and if he wanted such a "handsome and rich" person, would it be fun to be greedy for Qinglou, a voice sounded, interrupting the communication between the two:

"Everyone, everyone, today is our annual big day in Yangzhou, let us respect our parents first, Cui Tingshi, Yang Sima and others take time out of their busy schedules to guide here, come, they are full, we first respect our parents officials."

After three rounds of drinking, Mr. Su, as the organizer, picked up the cup and called on everyone to toast Cui Tingshi's officials, which is also a common practice, after all, the development of that industry is inseparable from the support of the government.

When everyone heard this, they picked up their wine glasses and stood up, and they wanted to pay tribute to several adults.

"Okay, good, you are the elite of Yangzhou, and you are also the pillars of my Datang, and I hope you will work together to make Yangzhou more stable and prosperous. Cui Tingshi was in a good mood, spoke on behalf of several officials, and then raised his head and drank all the wine in his arms.

After drinking, he also lowered his wine glass to show that his glass was dry, and there was no bad wine.

"Okay, done."

"Adults drink a lot."

"Good wine."

Everyone picked up the wine and drank it all, then poured the wine glass down like Cui Xiong, and then laughed at each other.

Mr. Su stood up, held the wine and said: "Everyone who comes is a guest, Confucius said, there are friends from afar, I am very happy, everyone, this second cup, I salute Xu Hongji, who came from afar, and thank him for coming this time." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, Mr. Su, you're so polite." Xu Hongji was rarely humble.

"Dry~~"

There is wine to drink, of course it is good, that Xu Hongji is arrogant, but he is brave and talented after all, and he is recognized as the head of the northern talents in the north where the scholars are like forests, and the talent is absolutely brilliant, and it is also worth a toast.

"The third cup, just to all of you here, you are all my pride in Yangzhou, and gathering here today is also a kind of fate, come, do it."

"Okay,!"

The crowd responded in an uproar, raised their glasses again, and drank the wine in the toast.

After drinking three glasses in a row, coupled with interaction, the party finally became lively, at least, everyone's interest was much higher, and there was more talk and interaction, which pushed the atmosphere to a small climax.

"Do you think we're missing something here?" A middle-aged man stood up and asked with a smile on his face.

After Qin Lang's introduction, Liu Yuan learned that this person was a squire of Yangzhou, surnamed Hong Mingji, who was a full and upright person, and served as Mr. Su's deputy and was responsible for coordinating the preparation of the poetry meeting.

Almost what? The food, the wine, the beautiful scenery, and the beautiful women who stand on the boat and keep looking at the ship's buildings are flattering, what is missing? Everyone was thinking about it.

"By the way, tangible and silent, such a good environment, how can you not let people play a song, and let the melodious silk and bamboo cheer up for everyone?" Someone in the crowd came to their senses quickly and immediately pointed out.

"yes, let's make a song."

"No wonder it's a little unnatural, it turns out that there is no silk and bamboo to accompany the ears."

One person proposed, and everyone responded.

Hong Ji said with a smile: "Poetry will be such a beautiful thing, where can there be less such elegant things, ready in the morning, everyone has a blessing today, we are fortunate to invite Du Sanniang to stroke a song for everyone, please Sanniang below, please applaud!" ”

"What? Du Sanniang? ”

"It's so powerful, even Sanniang was invited, and I didn't come in vain today."

"I can see Sanniang's face again, my God, I'm so excited."

"I have to behave well tonight, maybe Sanniang will be happy and recruit me as a guest of the curtain, then it will really be smoke from the ancestral tomb."

"Yes, yes, Du Sanniang has always been a performer and not a person, I don't know if there is the luck of taking the lead first and kissing Fangze." ……

While clapping vigorously, the crowd stretched their heads out, and some of them had already stood up and looked around.

"Oh~~Knock~~Oh~~~"

It's a guzheng!

As someone plucked the strings on the screen, making a few crisp and pleasant sounds, the whole hall immediately became silent, and everyone listened with bated breath as the people inside played the piano.

The sound of the piano is melodious, tortuous and graceful, sometimes like a leisurely walk, sometimes like mountains and flowing water, sometimes like a hundred birds returning to the nest, the mood seems to follow the ups and downs of the piano, indescribably beautiful, indescribably touching.

Liu Yuan remembered a sentence to describe the sound of the piano: big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate.

And Qin Lang, the "rich and handsome" who was sitting next to Liu Yuan, was even more fascinated by it, and he didn't know what to say when the wine in the cup was poured out, and the whole person was like a wooden person sitting down, and his eyes were a little blurred
