Chapter 68 Drumming and Passing Flowers

The housewarming banquet is scheduled for three days later. Xie Yaoguang didn't want to alarm too many people, because those merchants who were good friends with the Xie family could only give gifts and congratulate them according to the rules, and there was no invitation to the banquet.

This time, only people who have contacts in Gusu were invited to be guests, and the three county lords of Jingning, Su Wan's brothers and sisters, as well as Xiao Lingyu and Xu Tianyue, were naturally within the scope of the invitation.

Gu Qingzhi and Yun Fan were also invited. However, there will also be uninvited guests to visit - such as Jiang Huaixin. smiled and welcomed a few people into the garden, and didn't seem to care about Jiang Huaixin's uninvited.

Although the guests in the house are not like clouds, they have special identities, and the most important thing is that several forces are mixed together.

Not only did there not appear a chaotic scene, but they got along very well. There is no need to talk about the government, it is naturally very comfortable.

In this, Xu Tianyue has always been lively and cheerful, and from time to time she argues with Yun Fan for a sentence or two, which is also extremely interesting.

As for the other people, the county lord of Jingning is already hearty, and he will echo them from time to time. Xie Yaoguang was well-read, and Jiang Huaixin and the Su brothers had similar interests, and there was also a conversation during the banquet.

The banquet in the hall was opened, and the maids served the special dishes of Lanxinglou. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, a few people who were already familiar with each other also had no scruples about inviting each other to drink, so unhappy.

Xu Tianyue is used to being a joker, so the maid just served the tea after the banquet. Seeing her standing up, she clapped her hands and smiled: "I just thought that it was too boring to wait for a while to visit the garden, so why don't we also be lively." ”

"What good ideas does Tianyue have?" Looking at her, Xie Yao asked with a provocative look on her lips.

"How about drumming and passing flowers? Whoever has this flower in his hand, he will say a pair or come to what he is good at, and he will be fined a glass of wine. Suzaku raised his eyebrows and smiled: "You can't be fooled!" ”

"That's pretty good, so why don't you let Suzaku play the drums." Xie Yaoguang's gentle tone was stained with a smile.

Raising their hands and high-fives, two maids entered with delicate colored drums, and bowed to the people in the audience after putting down the drums. He also covered the eyes with a veil for the Suzaku.

The host of this banquet was Xie Yaoguang, so the person who passed the flowers for the first time naturally fell on her. As soon as the drum sounded, Xie Yaoguang immediately handed the flower branch in his hand to Su Wan's hand, and the drum did not fall and the flowers did not stop. After a round, the flower finally fell into Su Jue's hand.

Su Jue raised his eyes to Xie Yaoguang and said with a smile: "I didn't expect this flower to fall into my hands." ”

"Brother, don't cheat, drink quickly. After drinking, I thought about what I wanted to do. Su Wan personally poured a glass of wine for him and handed it over.

"Okay, I'll drink this glass" Hanxiao took the wine glass, lifted his lips and said, "I'm not as talented as you, I can only be a pair." ”

"Tell me about it"

Su Jue groaned for a while, and blurted out, "Flowers fall all over the ground, flowers fly, and the willows are blowing in the wind." ”

"Young Master Jue, this palindromic poem is well done." Jiang Huaixin hooked his lips and praised.

The drum beat again, and this time the drum hammer in Suzaku's hand beat harder and harder, and the drum beat eagerly. The crowd also made a mess, and the drums fell on their hearts like rain.

Pushing each other, the flower branch passed from Su Wan's hand to Xiao Lingyu's hand in the blink of an eye, Xiao Lingyu watched Xu Tianyue and stuffed the flower into Xu Tianyue's arms. The drumming stopped abruptly at this moment, and Xu Tianyue made a gesture to stuff it into the arms of the county lord of Jingning.

How could Xiao Lingyu follow her, snatched the flower with her hand, and then handed the wine over and said with a smile: "This flower is in your hand, do you still want to deny it?"

"Just know how to toss me! I'm not good at all those poems and songs, so I can only tell you a joke to relieve your boredom. Xu Tianyue picked up the teacup and drank it all, and said, "Listen, I'm going to start telling jokes." ”

"Just say it."

"Once upon a time, there was a gentleman who liked to play the piano the most on weekdays, and once lamented that there was no one in this world who had his soulmate, and he was always depressed for this." Xu Tianyue stood up, glanced at Xiao Lingyu and paused: "One day when he was idle, he played the piano again." Suddenly, I heard the sound of someone sighing next door, so I thought I had met a bosom friend, and ran to knock on someone's door to ask what was going on. She froze, shook her head and asked, "Guess what's going on?" ”

"Oh, don't sell it, hurry up." Su Wan pulled her to sit down.

"There was an old woman living next door, and I couldn't help but wonder when someone knocked on the door. He asked, "Who are you and why did you come to my house and knock on my door?" The man listened and said suspiciously: "I came here when I heard someone in your family sighing" Xu Tianyue couldn't help but raise her eyes, and said in a light cough in the tone of the old woman: "Ahem...... It's nothing, it's just that the old and dead son made a living playing cotton before his death, and today your voice playing the piano is particularly like the sound of him playing cotton. ”

At the end of the conversation, everyone laughed.

Yun Fan raised his lips and teased, "This gentleman is you, right?" ”

"But Jin is talking nonsense, how could it be me. Don't beat the drum yet. "Let's pass the flowers.

The drum beat sounded again, and unlike before, the strength of the Suzaku drum was slightly slower than before. The drum sound is long, as if it is teasing, and sometimes it is light and sometimes heavy, and people can't help but get anxious.

Everyone ignored it, and when they saw that the flower branch was about to reach Su Wan's hand, they coughed a few times. Su Wan panicked and hurriedly stuffed the flower into Xie Yaoguang's hand. Then he coughed, and the drumming stopped.

Xu Tianyue looked at Xie Yaoguang and clapped her hands and smiled: "This time it can be regarded as our turn as the host, and we can't let her go easily." Eat this wine and say a good one, don't be too funny, lest the laughing person's intestines hurt. ”

"I don't know how to tell jokes. It just so happened that I made up a random tune recently when I had nothing to do, why don't you listen to it?" Xie Yaoguang tilted his lips and smiled softly: "Go and get my piano." ”

"Whoa"

After a while, the maid came with the harp. Take the piano and fold your knees, sit down and adjust the strings. Raise your head and drop your fingers, brushing the strings and fingertips to flow out a melodious sound.

The sound of the piano was like a hanging wave rolling up on the river and the sea slamming the rocks, and the tone of the fingers changed to a stream gurgling through the valley, and then with Xie Yaoguang picking up the strings, the sound of the piano instantly changed into the stirring sound of the Jin Ge Iron Horse. A few people seemed to be on the battlefield for a moment, and with the last sound, it was like choking on a quiet spring, which made people's hearts flutter.

"I've heard King Shou say a long time ago that Miss Xie is extremely good at the piano." Jiang Huaixin took the lead in standing up and applauding: "It can be said that it is better to see than to hear." ”

"No, Miss Xie is not only superb in the piano but also very intelligent, and even Her Majesty is full of praise for her articles." Su Yu and Jiang Huaixin also knew each other, and when they heard his words, they couldn't help but echo

Glancing at the two of them, Yun Fan sneered: "The two of you are like smearing honey on your lips." Believe it or not, if you praise her a few more times, her tail will have to rise to the sky. ”

"Your medical skills have not improved, but your lip service is getting more and more powerful." Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi soothed his eyebrows, glanced at him, and scolded with a smile.
