Volume 1 Border City Chapter 44 Jinsha Cocktail Party I

Originally located in a prime location in Sands Cotai and just outside the doorstep of Sands Cotai City's most famous pedestrian street, this inn is now full of people coming and going along the banks of the Jinsha River.

After Han Xiao bought some snacks from a vendor, he enjoyed the scenery while eating.

Every time there is a golden sand party, it is the time of the new moon, and the crescent moon like a hook in the night is not bright but extremely clear, as if the fireworks in this world can directly shine on the palace in the sky.

The night breeze on the banks of the Jinsha River is still very cool, but with the smell of wine in the air, it can already resist this not biting cold, and even the cheeks that have been drunk are red, hugging everyone and shouting, and occasionally hugging the lady of which family will attract a stinking scolding, as for whether the person did it on purpose, it is unknown.

This night was also the busiest time of the year for the entire Sands City Sheriff's Army, they had to ensure the smooth progress of the party, and promptly clear out some restless elements, and a large number of outsiders also brought a certain degree of difficulty to this work, not long after the party began, the prisons all over Sands City were almost full, most of them were drunks who picked quarrels and provoked trouble, and there were also pickpockets who took advantage of the chaos to beg for a living.

Although the security department shut down so many people, but the next day it was directly released, as long as it is not a matter of principle, Sands City is still very tolerant of petty fights on the night of the drinking party, even if it is not tolerant, this Sands City can not support so many prisoners for a while.

After walking for a long time, Han Xiaocai stopped at a wine shop, the wine seller was an old man over seventy years old, the wine shop was not big, but it was unusually neat and clean, and the aroma of the wine was not so strong, with a hint of sweetness.

"Uncle, how do you sell the wine here?"

The old man looked at Han Xiao, this young man was only single, it was relatively rare in this lively drinking party, most of them were in groups of three or five, men and women together, and then looked at the young man's clothes were also very ordinary, even a little shabby, he knew that this young man's family background was average or even poor.

"Little brother, if you want to drink it, just drink it well, my wine is not a precious thing. As he spoke, the old man handed a bowl to Han Xiao.

Han Xiao took the wine bowl, first tried to take a sip, and then drank it all, and Han Xiao guessed well, this is not a strong wine, but a fruit wine with a very low degree.

"Uncle, how do you sell it, you give me a price, I want to buy a pot. ”

"It's rare that you like it, little brother, I'll give you this wine. Saying that, the old man directly took a pot to Han Xiao, the spout of the wine pot is very small, which is convenient for drinking directly, but the belly is very large, and there are at least about three catties in it.

"It's too much, sir. Han Xiao pushed the wine back.

"Take it, there is no precedent for taking back what my old man sent. ”

Han Xiao no longer shirked, after accepting the wine jug, he took out a silver coin and put it in the deserted shop, and when the old man reacted, Han Xiao was gone.

Drinking the wine in his hand, Han Xiao can also understand why the store is so deserted, there are many spirits and fine wines at this Jinsha cocktail party, and the old man's jar is more like a drink for children, naturally not many people will patronize it, but this is just in line with Han Xiao's wishes, because Han Xiao's alcohol is not good, and the wine is even worse, and he almost killed a passerby when he was drunk for the first time.

Han Xiao, who was holding the wine jug, seemed to be more harmonious with the crowd around him, but this lonely figure still occasionally had a few half-drunk and half-awake people pointing and pointing, and Han Xiao didn't pay attention to it, just walked quietly alone.

Han Xiao is alone here, and Xiao Lingling is a different scene.

Although Xiao Lingling's dress today is different from the past, it still made some local people directly recognize it, and for a while, the news of the second miss of the Xiao family going out spread far and wide.

Looking at the people who flocked from all over the place, outsiders who didn't know thought it was an oiran or a celebrity who came, and they also coaxed together.

"I said Lingling, why are you still so troublesome. Feng Tianjiao saw that she was about to be surrounded, so she directly pulled out the big sword behind her and stood forward, and the originally surging crowd immediately took a few steps back.

is almost on par with the name of Xiao Lingling Fairy, as well as Feng Tianjiao's violence, but the locals know that this princess of Jinsha City will really cut people if she disagrees.

Seeing the crowd retreating, Feng Tianjiao picked up Xiao Lingling, and disappeared from an alley in a few jumps, and Uncle Liu, who was originally standing behind, also disappeared with him, and the disappointed crowd dispersed on its own not long after.

After a while, Feng Tianjiao and Liu Bo appeared in front of Fang Hua and the others again, but at this time, Xiao Lingling, who was following them, had already put on a veil, and people who were not very familiar with it should not be able to tell the difference.

"Miss, I'm sorry, it was Qing'er's negligence. ”

"It's okay, I forgot about it. ”

On a normal day, people in Sands City would not be as crazy as just now, but tonight happened to be a drinking party, and many people were enthusiastic, so they no longer cared about anything.

In fact, even if she wears a veil, everyone can infer her identity from the few people around her, but just like Xiao Lingling in the medical hall, everyone seems to have an agreement, when Xiao Lingling is in the medical hall or wears a veil, everyone is watching from a distance and will not come forward to disturb.

"Sister Lingling is really loved by the people of Sands City, if someone on my side can be half as popular as you in Yunzhou, I will be satisfied. Fang Hua shook his fan and said gently.

"Fang Gongzi praised it falsely, but it was just the love of the people of Jinsha, and I deserved it. ”

Xiao Rou listened to it very unpleasantly, and then said: "Of course you are ashamed, if you didn't show up outside to attract bees and butterflies, how could the fame of your second miss of the Xiao family spread all over Jinsha City." ”

After Xiao Rou finished saying this, the scene was very embarrassing for a while, although everyone could understand what was going on with the sour taste in these words, but what she said just now was to ruin people's reputation, Qing'er didn't care about it, and directly rolled her eyes at Xiao Rou, and Xiao Rou's chest continued to rise and fall.

Feng Tiancheng, who had not spoken, came out at this time to make a round: "Sister Xiao Rou also thinks that Sister Lingling is working hard to help in the hospital all day, so there should be no other meaning... ”

He was so powerful this round that he directly made Feng Tiancheng so angry that he exploded, slapped Feng Tiancheng on the back of the head, and beat him back with what he hadn't finished speaking.

Feng Tianjiao directly pulled Xiao Lingling to the City Lord's Mansion, and didn't explain anything, the auction of this Jinsha Wine Party was about to start, and Feng Tianjiao would not miss this excitement.

Han Xiao, who was still wandering alone at this time, also noticed that the direction of the crowd was converging in one place, so he walked over together.

In front of the city lord's mansion in Jinsha City is a large square, which was originally used to gather and distribute people and transfer troops during the war, but it has been rebuilt here for the cocktail party, and now there is not only a large auction table here, but also stone steps have been built around it for visitors to rest, and the whole square has completely become an open-air auction hall that can accommodate 10,000 people.

There were a lot of people at the Sands Cocktail Party, and it was not something that could be accommodated in one auction venue, so when there was still some time before the opening, a large number of spectators began to walk towards the venue.

Of course, important powerful families and wealthy businessmen all have special VIP areas, and there is no need to grab seats with everyone, and both the Feng family and the Xiao family have a place in the temporary box at the front of the auction.

Just when Han Xiao used his skills to cheat and get a seat in the ordinary audience area, Feng Tianjiao and the others had already come to the Feng family's box.

In the box of the Xiao family, the uncle of the Xiao family and several important members of the Xiao family were there, and a few people from the younger generation went to say hello and left directly.

The Feng family's box was different, except for the city lord Feng Qishan, who had to attend, there was no one else.

"Uncle Feng is good. A few juniors stepped forward and saluted, Feng Qishan was easy-going, nodded and signaled that they didn't have to be restrained and then tasted tea by themselves, that's right, it was tea, there were more than 20 boxes in the front row, and there was tea supplied by this Feng family's box, because the Fengcheng Lord, the strange controller of the wine capital, did not drink a drop of wine.

Fengqishan is gentle and elegant, different from Fang Hua's pretentiousness, he really has poetry and calligraphy, and his conduct and appearance can afford the word elegance, many people think that if Xun Ziyan is not before Fengqishan, I am afraid that the name of the first Confucian in the blood dome will be quite suspenseful.

Of course, Feng Qishan, who has seen Xun Ziyan, is still self-aware, and the national teacher's bearing is not comparable to him now, and he can't even compare it in this life.

After three rings, the scene suddenly fell silent.

An old man with a white beard walked up to the center of the auction room, and six display cases had already been placed on the auction table, but at this time the display cases were covered with a layer of red cloth.

After the old man walked up, he took off the red cloth one by one, and the contents were revealed, a total of six kinds of wine, and there were three pots in each display case, a total of eighteen pots.

After picking, he stood on the stage and introduced to the VIPs in the front row that according to the usual practice, there are a total of six groups of wine on the stage, the first group is the Qingyao Pool of my Yao family, the second group is the drunken red dust of Wanfanglou, the third group is the military line of Mulan Distillery, the fourth group is the plum blossom Fen wine of the Liao family, the fifth group is the Tianshen Yin of Dawu Villa, and the sixth group is the desert cloud burning specially invited from the Western Regions this year.

Seems to be a little tired, the old man paused for a while, and then continued: "The first five are more familiar to everyone, and this sixth type, the old man can only tell you to be cautious when shooting, this cloud burning is a rare liquor in the world, and it will kill you." ”

After the old man finished speaking, he walked off the stage, and a plump and charming woman came to the stage to announce the start of the auction, and then she started with the gods of Dawu Villa, this Qingyao Pond and Drunken Hongchen and the invited Desert Cloud Burning Club were left for the last three groups of auctions.

As for the seventh-ranked Fengming Wine, since Feng Qishan became the governor of Si Province, it has never participated in the auction, and even outsiders can't buy it, and I heard that only a small share of the tribute to Wang Cheng at the end of each year is paid.

After the woman came to the stage, Feng Tianjiao's dissatisfied voice rang out: "It's like this every year, is there anything new, even the woman who auctioned won't change." ”

"Tianjiao, don't talk nonsense. Feng Qishan reminded Feng Tianjiao with a smile.

Feng Tianjiao was very arrogant outside, but she was the only one who was more afraid, and she was silent at the moment, and Xiao Lingling couldn't help but laugh when she saw it.

"Everybody laughed, Tianjiao made me spoiled. ”

As soon as Feng Qishan's words came out, Feng Tianjiao's mouth immediately pouted, but he didn't dare to say anything while holding his breath, just shook his hand on the hilt of his sword, and this time it was not only Xiao Lingling, but even Fang Hua, Xiao Rou and Qing'er also laughed, and even Uncle Liu was also smiling, Uncle Liu was also very familiar with this daughter of the Feng family, as for Feng Tiancheng, he didn't dare.
