There are two big stone lions sitting in front of the Xue Mansion, the indescribable majesty is hideous, Xiao Jun feels ridiculous in his heart, who makes two lions at the door, and it is not the official yamen. Genius remembered the first three or five in a second, but he didn't know that this Xue Mengzhuo was a two-in-one home office, just to facilitate the reception of officials and businessmen, and after the discussion, he could go to the back house to eat and rest.

Jingzhou City is in disarray, but Xue's Mansion is clean and majestic, and it looks a little abrupt in the ruins of the broken walls. At this time, there were two columns of beauties dressed in beautiful clothes in front of the mansion to welcome the guests, with smiling eyebrows and eyes, and they were indescribably charming.

The high gate is deep, the carved corridor is painted with columns, and everyone enters in turn, and Xue Mengzhuo directly leads the prince and others to the inner hall. There is a green ancient tripod sitting on the big red sandalwood carving case, and there are a few flowers and plants obliquely inserted in the beauty next to it, and there are a few aromatherapy balls hanging on the shelf next to it, which are slowly turning, spitting incense, and the ground is covered with a scarlet Persian carpet, which is soft and silent when stepped on.

In the candlelight incense, Xiao Junzhi looked at it coldly, this furnishing is not much better than in the palace, it can be seen that Jingzhou is really rich. When he raised his eyes to see the roof, he was a little surprised, at this time, the room was not lit by candles, but by night pearls the size of birds' eggs, which were irregularly inlaid on the roof, like a bright galaxy, illuminating the room and shining softly. The night banquet in the palace is only lit with hundreds of candles, and this Xue Mansion only lit dozens of red candles to dot it, relying on the night pearl to illuminate.

Seeing the prince's eyes lingering, Wu Qingliu smiled and said, "Lord Xue's hospitality place is called the Streamer House, and many people come here. ”

Xiao Junzhi took a look and smiled, "Exquisite." ”

Seeing that the dignified prince praised him, Xue Mengzhuo hurriedly said that it was not worth mentioning, but there was a smug look on his face.

This streamer house did not exist for a long time, that is, it was designed when Prince Linjiang arrived in Jingzhou. I heard that the second son's eyes were not good, Xue Mengzhuo was afraid that the prince would be unhappy when he invited the prince to the banquet, so he racked his brains to think of such a method, so compared to the starting candle, there is no smoke to the eyes, and the light is also very comfortable. It is said that it cost millions of taels of silver to build this house, and those with official titles do not have so much money (and those who dare not build it), and those who have money cannot find so many beads. Wu Qingliu and the others were really amazed when they came in for the first time, thinking that Xue Mengzhuo, the rich man of the land, was indeed rich, and envy was envious, but they were disdainful, although Xue Mengzhuo was the official of the Mansion Yin, the biggest leader in Jingzhou, but he could never enter Beijing as an official, and his descendants could not raise his ranks, and he could not marry the family, and the farmers and businessmen were not as good as the peasants.

Xue Mengzhuo couldn't figure out the prince's temperament, so he didn't dare to call the dancing girl band with great fanfare, and only picked a few beautiful musicians.

Xiao Junzhi sat on the main seat, Jing Guangxu gave way, and sat down on the left hand side of the prince, Xue Mengzhuo sat on the right hand side of the prince, and the rest of the people sat down in turn, and introduced each other to each other, and the beautiful maid served exquisite dishes to the table.

The delicious jade liquid elixir was placed on the table, and the maid standing next to her had poured wine, Xue Mengzhuo hurriedly got up and raised his glass, "The prince is running all the way, we are in the poor countryside, there is nothing else, this self-produced Jingzhou autumn dew can still be eaten, please don't dislike it, drink a cup temporarily, it can be regarded as catching the wind and washing the dust." ”

Xiao Jun's way is to replace wine with tea.

Xue Mengzhuo saw that the prince didn't drink, so he kept persuading, and Jingguang next to him also smiled, "If you don't taste this autumn dew wine when you come to Jingzhou, it's really a negative rush, and the minister is not good at drinking, but this wine is really clear and intoxicating. ”

The servant girl standing on the side of the wine picked up the feather cup, and put her hands to Xiao Junzhi's lips, her white tender fingers dyed with danko almost touched his cheeks, although Han Jin was uninhibited, she had never been so close to herself. He was so polite and polite that he couldn't say anything like staying away from me, so he had to take it, and quietly turned sideways away from the beautiful woman.

The maidservants standing here are unusually beautiful, all of them are stunning, and they are even compared to many small jasper families in the capital.

Before coming to Jingzhou, Director Yi had tactfully reminded that the local state capital is not as good as the capital, and the prince does not have to accommodate them, but do not offend, the local government has used a little means, slack and shirked, and this work cannot be promoted.

At this time, Xiao Junzhi knew what the so-called customs and favors in Director Yi's mouth were.

He took a sip, the amber liquid was pouring in the cup, soft and mellow in the throat, and the aftertaste was sweet, and it was indeed a good wine.

Seeing the prince's face, Xue Mengzhuo toasted around the table one by one, and when he arrived at Baili Mu, he complimented, "The Baili Governor is young and promising, I heard that he was in charge of the security department of the capital before, and this time he went to Jingzhou with His Royal Highness, which shows the trust of the Holy Lord in you." ”

Baili Mu hurriedly raised his glass in return, "Don't dare." ”

After Xue Mengzhuo finished saluting, Jingguang also got up to toast, and Jingguang finished saluting. This autumn dew has a lot of energy, although he only sipes a little each time, but after a few laps, Xiao Jun's head has been a little cloudy, but he looks like he has nothing to do.

Now it was time for him to toast, and when he was steady, he got up and went to know everyone present.

Seeing that the prince was approachable and more easy-going than Prince Linjiang, everyone was no longer as restrained as at the beginning, and the lively atmosphere of gags was lively.

As soon as he finished touching Wu Qingliu, Xiao Junzhi's footsteps froze, and he accidentally bumped into the beauty who was pouring wine next to him. Xiao Junzhi hurriedly said rude, the beauty raised her eyes and glanced at him, she was already blushing.

Wu Qingliu said with a smile, "I often hear people say that drunk and lying on the knees of a beauty, His Royal Highness is drunk and bumps into the arms of a beauty today, this beauty is very blessed." ”

Everyone laughed when they said it, Xiao Junzhi was slightly embarrassed, knowing that these people were like this in private, they didn't have a proper shape, and they didn't care.

Seeing Wu Qingliu teasing the prince, the prince just smiled slightly, and the atmosphere became more and more lively, Xue Mengzhuo hurriedly helped the prince to take a seat, and introduced the special dishes on the table one by one.

Rouge goose breast, deciduous pipa shrimp, chopsticks spring, white dragon yao, cross-door incense, etc. are more exquisite than the palace, and they are served in different plates, Xue Mengzhuo said, this roasted goose paw prince must try it, and the maid on the side was busy taking the silver chopsticks and cloth dishes, Xiao Junzhi tasted it, and it was really delicious.

Xue Mengzhuo introduced the roast suckling pig in the middle, saying that this dish is the most test of kung fu, to use pear charcoal to slowly roast, every inch of skin and meat must be roasted, and then coated with ghee, while coating and roasting, this dish must be patient, so as to make the meat crispy.

The pearl and white jade dumplings on the side should be cut into pearl-sized pieces with boiled chicken breast, mixed with clear sauce and wine, rolled with sticky fine powder, and then fried in a pot.

What the? Your Highness is not used to eating meat? It's easy to say, and I specially prepared a few southern dishes for the prince.

Simmer fresh ling, this dish is boiled in chicken soup, remove half of the soup when serving, water chestnut must be freshly picked in the pool, float on the water surface before it is fragrant and tender, plus millet and ginkgo seeds are simmered together, especially fresh and sweet, the prince quickly tasted.

There is also this dish of bamboo shoots, this dish is suitable for the occasion, I hope His Royal Highness will give us more guidance on the work of Jingzhou,

This meal is eaten until the full moon in the West Building. Xiao Junzhi has no impression of how to rest, only remember that he was helped back, lying on the couch and thinking hazy, the dream was full of brilliance, the door was across the stream, the bright moonlight was quietly sprinkled down, the shadows were swaying and the stars were scattered, there were fairies rich and beautiful, fluttering like a painting, making people shake their minds, and there was no one between the wrong gods, but they saw the stars and moons in front of the door, and the river was just a long river.

This dream is very sweet.

When I opened my eyes, I woke up from a drunken dream, and I was very stunned.

As soon as he turned his head, Han Jin was holding up a book through the bead curtain and reading it while munching melon seeds, when he heard the movement, Han Jin seemed to be smiling, "Tsk." ”

Xiao Junzhi closed his eyes, opened his eyes again, and sobered up, "Go out, what kind of body will you become." ”

Han Jin smiled, "What kind of system did you become when you hit someone else's beauty?" ”

Xiao Junzhi paused, "You owe a beating." ”
