Chapter 118: The Collision of Ancient and Modern Cultures

The celebration banquet is set up in a famous garden in Guide Mansion. This garden was the property of a gentry in the Guide Mansion, and today, the gentry dedicates this property as a place for a celebration banquet.

After the leader led Wu Shigong and the guards to the outer courtyard, he asked the guards to wait in the outer courtyard, and led Wu Shigong alone to a hall in the middle of the garden where the celebration banquet was held.

The hall was huge, and there were already wine tables in it. Wine jugs, preserved fruits, and cold dishes are already on the wine table. The leader led Wu Shigong to a wine case and sat down.

In the banquets of the Ming Dynasty, especially in formal banquets such as today's celebration banquets, the position of all the guests is very particular. Anyway, according to the principles of status, the size of the official position, and the principles of nobility and martial arts, there are customary rules. Of course, Wu Shigong was arranged in the lower position closest to the entrance of the hall.

As soon as Wu Shigong sat down in his position, he felt that in the garden outside the hall, someone was squeezing his eyebrows at him. Wu Shigong turned his head and saw that it was Li Pengfei.

When Li Pengfei saw that Wu Shigong noticed him, he smiled and nodded to Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong also smiled and nodded to Li Pengfei.

Wu Shigong was very happy at this time. This time the Holy Spirit Society rebelled, and Wu Shigong relied on more than 600 people under his command to defend the fortress of Qianhusuo, and also to defend the county seat of Qi County. When I arrived in Zuihou, I had to take people to rescue the city of Guide, which can be said to be: the troops are very stretched.

Moreover, even if Wu Shigong spends more money to increase his troops in the future, he is only an acting thousand households after all, and it is impossible for him to have more than a thousand troops. If you exceed too much, you will get yourself in big trouble.

And now, if Gonggong Xiao transfers Wu Shigong to a formal military position, he can not only raise a part of the army through the military salary of the imperial court, but also greatly increase the number of soldiers he has through the remote control of his apprentice Tao Xin. The strength will be about doubled, how can this make Wu Shigong unhappy?

At this time, the main protagonists of the celebration banquet - Hou Sui, the Fuzun of Guide Mansion and Gonggong Xiao finally arrived according to the usual practice. Their belated arrival was not entirely for the sake of putting on a show, and after an afternoon of discussion, the three of them had just reached an agreement on the distribution of credit.

However, judging by the satisfied smiles on the faces of the three of them, they must have gained something. All the guests stood up and saluted the trio. The three of them also smiled and nodded to everyone.

Nahou Xun looked around, and finally found Wu Shigong standing at the bottom, he beckoned to Wu Shigong with a smile and said: "Wu Qianhu, you are the biggest hero in this rebellion." Don't stay in the back, sit on it. ”

Wu Shigong hurriedly saluted and thanked him. He didn't dare to go too far, so he sat in the position of the head of the old man Zhao Ming. Seeing that Wu Shigong was no longer willing to move forward, Hou Sui could only give up.

The celebration banquet officially began after the arrival of the three people. It's pretty much the same as in a modern banquet. From the beginning, it was a part of formalism. What leaders are speaking, toasting together, and so on.

After all this is done, the banquet officially enters the entertainment part. A pair of female musicians entered the hall, some playing music on the side, and some singing and dancing in the hall. Of course, hot dishes were also served. What made Wu Shigong even more excited was that a group of female prostitutes entered the hall, fought against each other one by one, and sat next to all the guests to accompany the wine.

This made Wu Shigong happy in his heart, after such a long time, to this day, he can finally appreciate the Qinglou culture of the Ming Dynasty.

Among those female prostitutes, the most beautiful and famous famous prostitutes in Guide Mansion will definitely be arranged to accompany Hou Sui, who has the highest status in Guide Mansion. However, Hou Sui pushed the famous prostitute and said: "Today's celebration banquet, the biggest protagonist should be Wu Qianhu, Miss Manling, you can go to Wu Qianhu to accompany you." The old man looked at it, your heroes and beauties are just a good match. ”

Hou Sui's words caused the guests on the side to echo and coax. The woman named Manling also walked in front of Wu Shigong step by step, and blessed Wu Shigong with a very elegant posture, and then sat down next to Wu Shigong.

That Manling, that is, at the age of seventeen or eighteen, but her reputation in the Qinglou world of Guide Mansion can be said to be thunderous. In addition to her outstanding appearance, she is good at painting orchids, embroidery, stroking the piano, and writing poems and lyrics, and writes good articles. From the perspective of modern people, she is a beautiful woman.

Therefore, in the city of Guide Mansion, Manling was praised by those self-proclaimed talents and vassal and elegant high-rollers with a high status, and also developed a very arrogant character of Manling. Don't say it, men will eat this set, the more arrogant she is, the more famous she will be, and the more people will follow.

Of course, at today's celebration banquet, all the leading figures in Defu City will attend, and when the roll call asks Manling to accompany him, Manling's mother and Manling himself dare not find a reason to shirk. Otherwise, they won't be in Guide City anymore. However, to be able to show his face on such an occasion, Manling's mother and Manling himself may not be able to ask for it.

However, when Manling was pushed to Wu Shigong by Hou Sui to accompany him, Manling saw that Wu Shigong was a rude military man, with a very stout appearance and a burly figure, so he didn't like it in his heart.

But there was no way, since Hou Sui had named him, Manling had no choice but to come to Wu Shigong. However, when she saluted Wu Shigong, Wu Shigong sat with a big grin and did not return the salute.

You know, when Manling was outside, when she appeared, which visitor didn't pinch her throat and salute Manling, and said, "Xiaosheng is polite!" Therefore, Manling became more and more disgusted with Wu Shigong's rude behavior.

But Wu Shigong has been in modern entertainment venues for many years. In his eyes, any famous prostitute, in the final analysis, is a prostitute. If you want to be entertained, there is no need to be polite to a prostitute. Wu Shigong didn't have this habit at all.

Wu Shigong just nodded to Manling. Don't say it, Wu Shigong is quite satisfied with Manling's appearance and figure. He motioned for Manling to sit down beside him. Manling picked up the wine jug and poured wine into Wu Shigong's wine glass first.

Wu Shigong saw that Manling had finished pouring the wine, she put down the wine jug in her hand and sat down next to Wu Shigong. At this time, Wu Shigong followed his modern habits and hugged Manling's waist.

Although the vine bell hasn't combed the cage yet, she has been wandering around the Fengyue place for so many years after all. She saw Wu Shigong make a move to hug her waist, and immediately moved to the side quietly, making Wu Shigong hug her empty.

After hugging for a while, Wu Shigong was stunned in his heart and thought: "This famous prostitute of the Ming Dynasty, why is his professional quality lacking." ”

Wu Shigong didn't know that Manling was very angry in his heart now, and Manling had never dared to make such a rude move in front of her before. She said to Wu Shigong: "This general, please respect yourself. ”

When Wu Shigong heard this, he couldn't believe his ears. When did prostitutes talk about self-respect?

Wu Shigong didn't know that in the Ming Dynasty, the women in the Qinglou he knew were like modern nightclub ladies, of course, the vast majority. However, a top-notch prostitute like Manling is a bit like a modern entertainment star. Let them accompany the wine or something, as long as the price is in place, it may still be possible. But if you want them to go to bed, you have to be willing.

And those self-proclaimed talents and vassal and elegant high-rollers, like modern celebrity fans, are trying their best to cater to them. So, that's what happened today.

And the cultivation of this kind of famous prostitute has become a one-stop industry of "production, supply and marketing" in the Ming Dynasty. The most famous is Yangzhou Skinny Horse.

Wu Shigong glanced at Manling with a little playfulness in his eyes, and no longer did anything excessive, picked up the dishes on the wine table with chopsticks, put them in his mouth, and chewed them.
