Chapter 46: The Uninvited Guest
Seeing that Song Shaohuai's brothers had arrived, the guys from the Drunken Immortal Building opened the door to welcome the guests diligently.
When the two of them stood still, they saw from a distance at the east end of the street, Tie Li came riding a tall pear blossom horse, he was wearing a dark robe with dark patterns of black bullet flowers, covered with an eagle gown, and his hair was covered with a green sandalwood hairpin. This person is a horse, black and white, with a huge body, which is eye-catching, and passers-by automatically avoid it.
Su Motian also came on the family's flower colt, which was a horse with a docile temperament, which could not be compared with the BMW of the General's Mansion. But for a person like him who was born as a literati and joined the army halfway, it couldn't be more suitable.
The party of the young lady in the capital is more than the taste of clothing, and the other is more than the talent. A son in law like Su Motian pays more attention to social etiquette.
Today, he wore a pine-green silk double-walled bird-su embroidered robe, a snail-colored marble inlaid with ferret skin, and his hair was all curled in a purple and gold crown with trembling wings. On the soot purple plum pattern Suzhou embroidery belt, one side is hung with a moon-white embroidered gold thread flowing cloud purse, and on the other side hangs a jade jade pendant with a jade spring ribbon color six-petal flower. It makes him more elegant and luxurious.
The four of them gathered in one place and didn't go in, just stood in front of the door of the Drunken Immortal Building and waited for greetings.
When passers-by saw them, they looked sideways, they were in the prime of life, handsome, all of them were from prominent backgrounds, and everyone in the capital knew it. The red, black, blue and green four-color good clothing is even more eye-catching, and the jewelry on the body is the supreme.
Those who have good deeds boldly speculate that they are probably waiting for the little son of Yuan Shilang's family. This shelf is big enough, and he actually dares to let Zhongshu Ling Gongzi and Shangshu Ling Gongzi wait!
Yuan Jinnian should have arrived a long time ago, he is a person who practices martial arts, and horseback riding is commonplace. But Yuan Sinian was a weak scholar who couldn't lift his hands and shoulders, and finally the little servant at home helped him onto the horse, and after walking a short distance, he couldn't help the pain in his crotch.
Yuan Jinnian had no choice but to take him back home. Yuan Sinian was reluctant to go, and after suffering from this, he didn't want to go.
Yuan Hong called him to the study, talked bitterly, and knew the benefits. Only then did he and Yuan Jinnian take the carriage at home to the banquet.
Yuan Jinnian was late and anxious. In the middle of the city, it was almost five o'clock, and the crowds on the street were rubbing shoulders, where there was a carriage to go smoothly.
In the distance, I saw four handsome young men standing in front of the door, talking and laughing, with fluttering clothes. Yuan Jinnian mistakenly thought that King Yan was already waiting, and the sweat on his head came down.
When he got closer, he saw that it was the third master who didn't often go out in the Song Mansion, and he was relieved. Without waiting for the carriage to stop, he jumped off.
"Yuan Jinnian, you actually came in a carriage?!" Song Shaohuai looked at Yuan Jinnian with eyes as if he had seen a monster.
"Moreover, if you dare to be late, you will be fined three glasses of wine first!" They are used to making trouble in private, Song Shaohuai said with a smile.
"Forgiveness, forgiveness, acceptance, acceptance." Yuan Jinnian clenched his fists and saw the other three again.
At this time, I saw the coachman pull the curtain of the car, and Yuan Sinian, who was dressed in a fancy dress, walked down slowly and methodically.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Song Shaohuai's eyes widened, and he looked suspicious.
According to Qin's words, Yuan Sinian is the eldest son of Yuan Fu, and he should be closer to Song Shaohuai, the eldest grandson of Yuan Lao Taijun. But Song Shaohuai is a master who is not stingy, and he is favored by the old lady, and the rules are often furnished with him.
He doesn't like the Qin clan of power, and he even brings Yuan Jinnian, who doesn't like to read dead books. But he left home with Shaoxiao, and Yuan Jinnian, who had just returned, hit it off at first sight, regardless of his identity and background, it was better to be with him.
"Jin has come to the year, I can't come?" Yuan Sinian didn't like this gentleman either, but thinking about his father's words, he had to endure it.
"Damn, Yuan Sinian, your skin is thicker than the city wall, I didn't invite you!" Song Shaohuai is a rich scoundrel, so he doesn't care if Yuan Sinian can hang up on his face or not.
"You ......" Yuan Sinian is also a Hanlin apprentice, and he feels that he is many times stronger than a martial artist patrolling the Beijing camp. was ridiculed like this, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.
"Alright, alright, they're all family brothers." Su Motian was older, and when he saw that Yuan Sinian seemed to have an angry face, he hurriedly persuaded him.
"Our brothers' gathering, what's the matter with him!" Song Shaohuai still refuses to give up.
"King Yan." Tie Li is the youngest, he is stupid, and he will not persuade him. But he was tall and sharp-eyed, and he was the first to see Chu Lin riding Moyun, followed by Zhao Ji'an riding a red-maned horse.
Tie Li's request for An was relieved, and the two stopped arguing, and they both turned around and saluted.
"No courtesy." Chu Lin, who was wearing a royal blue unicorn rui beast Shu brocade robe and wrapped in dark green canary finches, jumped off the horse, and the guy from the Drunken Immortal Building led his horse to the backyard with great vision.
"This king only came back after entering the palace, so you have been waiting for a long time." Chu Lin glanced at everyone and saw two more faces.
"The prince is hard, and we have just arrived." Su Motian arched his hand.
"I heard Shaohuai's voice from afar, what did you say?" Chu Lin looked at Song Shaohuai's angry face that he couldn't hide and said.
"Back to the prince, we are just making trouble, not in the way. It's just that it was originally said that there were only four of us, but now there are two more, and they are also their own brothers. This is Shaohuai's younger brother Shaoxiang, and this is Jinnian's brother Si Nian. Su Motian was afraid that Song Shaohuai would make trouble again, so he introduced it first.
Song Shaoxiang and Yuan Sinian saw each other again.
"Lord, let's go in and talk." Su Motian made a gesture of please. Not to mention the gathering of the four young people in the capital, there is also King Yan, and the drunken immortal building has begun to gather around to watch the lively people.
Zhao Ji'an, who was wearing an indigo dark cotton robe and a gray rabbit jacket of the same color, was vigilantly guarding, and Song Shaohuai also knew the weight, so he hurriedly changed his look, and led the way with a smile.
Opposite the Drunken Immortal Building is Tianfu Tea House, and at this time, there is a person looking at the opposite side of the window on the second floor with interest. His face was hidden in the shadow of the bamboo curtain, and he couldn't see it clearly.
"You say, why did my father let me come to see a prince's wedding?" The speaker was dressed in a crimson silk peach blossom cloud goose wide-sleeved brocade robe, covered with light black gauze, with a belt inlaid with green jade tied around his waist, and a wisp of emerald tassels hanging from his waist, his bony fingers tapping rhythmically on the tabletop.
"Back to the young sect master, the sect master has always been thoughtful, and there must be a deep meaning." The man in black next to him in a dark black suit said.
"Okay, it seems that the crab roe soup dumplings can't be eaten today, but I have seen a good show." The man in scarlet stood up and walked out.
When I walked to the bright place, I saw that this person was about twenty years old, with a face like a crown of jade, a look better than Pan An, a black gold crown with his hair, and a pair of amber eyes, which was charming and moving.
He raised his eyes to look at the Drunken Immortal Building, a little smile on the corner of his mouth, the dimple on the left side disappeared in a flash, and he and his entourage walked into the crowd, their clothes tasseled and flowing, and the posture of the immortal attracted people's attention.
It is said that seven people entered the drunken fairy building, which is a century-old shop, the beams, pillars, tables and chairs in the store are all old objects, and there is no shortage of treasures in calligraphy and painting ornaments. The man led everyone into a spacious private room, with a rich peony carpet on a red background on the ground, and a smoke cage with a bronze engraved swasikh pattern.
In addition to a huge black lacquer carved octagonal table and eight chairs of the same style, there is also a Bogu shelf, on which there are green glazed five bats birthday plate, silk sea beast grape vase, fine pastel four-sided pine, bamboo, plum orchid jar, and some jadeite, Hetian jade small ornaments.
Against the wall, there is a tea table dedicated to tea drinking, on which are placed tea cups and cups, and there are several tea cans, presumably to distinguish different tea leaves, each with different shapes and patterns.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you want the waiter to make tea?" In the high-end restaurant, in order to be elegant, there is a waiter who makes tea. They are skillful and beautiful, and they have the emotion of performance.
"Go, go, go and urge the vegetables, don't grind your teeth." Song Shaohuai waved his hand again and again.
"I'll make ugly tea." Song Shaoxiang not only studied pharmacology, but also knew a little about tea art.
"Then let's have some refreshments first." The man agreed, and walked away quickly.
After a while, four plates of candied fruit and hazelnut cake were brought with cherries, golden dates, grapes, green plums, hazelnut cakes, walnut crisps, jujube paste crisps, and bean paste rolls.
Song Shaoxiang chose the Taiping Monkey Kui, which means that it is more suitable for the current atmosphere of the New Year.
There was water sitting on the small stove, just when it was about to be turned on. The other seven people, humbly, sat around.
When the water was boiling, Song Shaohuai took eight Yanyu Jiangnankou cups, scalded them again, and threw five or six tea leaves into each cup. At this time, the water temperature had dropped slightly, Song Shaohuai had ten slender fingers, picked up the gilt copper kettle, and only poured half a cup of water into each cup. The hot water is just used up, and half a pot of cold water is added and boiled.
At this time, the originally curly tea leaves in the cup are gradually stretched out under the infiltration of hot water, and the two leaves are one heart, and the roots are erect, like a budding magnolia flower. And its aroma spreads, it is more like magnolia, with a profound fragrance.
Song Shaohuai couldn't wait to drink, but was beaten by Song Shaoxiang.
"Please taste it." Song Shaoxiang waited for the water to boil and filled each cup before sending out an invitation.
"It doesn't smell like it." Tie Li swallowed most of it in one gulp, and said with a little disappointment.
"Hehe, Tie Li, I'm afraid you won't be able to taste a flower if you eat it." Yuan Sinian laughed at him.
"Hey, you're trying to beg for a fight, you uninvited goods!" Song Shaohuai didn't taste anything, but he just couldn't hear Yuan Sinian say anything.
"Tie Li, you taste it slowly, this tea tastes tasteless at first, but it actually has a sweet aftertaste, and it has a peaceful atmosphere when you drink it, and your lips and teeth are fragrant, which is refreshing." Su Motian is worthy of the son of Shang Shuling, well-informed, erudite and well-remembered.
"Brother Su is very right, seeing that this soup is tender and clear, it must be of the highest quality." Yuan Sinian echoed.
Yuan Jinnian just lowered his head and tasted tea, and did not answer. He is an authentic martial artist, and the tea in Tianchan Temple is all big leaves like willow leaves, and he can't sleep if he drinks too much. There are also donations from pilgrims, and the master should keep them for the donors.
"Hmph, how can drinking tea be as refreshing as drinking!" Song Shaohuai snorted.
Chu Lin smiled and watched them talk, not to mention that this tea is compared to the palace, even the one in the Yanwang Mansion is much stronger than this.
There are only this table of guests in the Drunken Immortal Building today, and soon all kinds of dishes will be served one after another. At this time, Zhao Ji'an had already gone and returned, bringing ten altars of golden jade dew.
The seven of them moved to the octagonal table and gave in again. Chu Lin sat on the main seat, Song Shaohuai on the right, Yuan Jinnian again, and then Tie Li. On the left-hand side, Su Motian, followed by Yuan Sinian, and finally Song Shaoxiang. Zhao Ji'an stood behind Chu Lin.
"Hey, come and sit down." Song Shaohuai saw that Zhao Ji'an didn't mean to sit down, so he called him.
"Sit down, gentlemen." Zhao Ji'an was unmoved.
"What? I invited you when you were a brother. If you want to stand, it won't be your turn. Or are we all consuming, and seven are waiting for you? Song Shaohuai leaned back on the chair and said angrily.
"Go sit down, you're like this, everyone is restrained." Chu Lin spoke, and Zhao Ji'an had no choice but to sit at the end.
The kitchen of Zuixianlou got the news yesterday, and Song Shaohuai didn't put the menu today, and the kitchen just put the delicacies of the mountains and seas, birds and beasts to the top.
For a time, the plate is stacked, stewed bear paws, shark fin soup, scallion roasted sea cucumber, fried prawns, roasted suckling pig, steamed deer tail, roasted roe deer meat, fried rabbit breast, hanging oven roast goose, mushroom cabbage, peach kernel mountain chicken, osmanthus fish roe......
As soon as the lid of Jin Yulu was lifted, the fragrance was fragrant, this is the royal wine, and these ten altars were specially rewarded by the emperor last time for the Huizhou case. Sent to Yanwang's Mansion was directly received by Ruyi into the wine cellar, and today it came in handy.
