Chapter 18 A Pair of Beauty

Fengle Building on North Street is extremely lively today, as the first of the 72 restaurants in Beijing, the Luming Banquet every three years has been held here seven times.

This year is no exception, King Jing Zhaoyi booked the banquet early, and even the shopping street near Fengle Building was much more lively - beef, sheep, pigs, chickens, green vegetables and radishes, were selected from each merchant like flowing water and poured into the back kitchen of Fengle Building.

Lu Heng and the three of them stood downstairs in Fengle Building, only to see that the three floors were three stories high, and the fifth floor was facing each other, and they were very tall and majestic. At the door, there was a neatly dressed shopkeeper who politely invited them in, and said respectfully: "A few officials, please come here with the little one." ”

Lu Heng and the three couldn't help but be stunned when they heard it - after the autumn yesterday, he actually became an official, and he really couldn't react.

When I entered the building, I saw that there were flying bridge railings everywhere in the sky, light and dark were connected, the bead curtains were embroidered, and the lights and candles were shining, and I only felt extremely luxurious in my heart. But he didn't have time to take a look, so he followed the shopkeeper to the front of the backyard hall.

I saw a small black wooden flat hanging on the door of the hall, with the word "Shuting" in gold written on it, and when I pushed the door in, I felt as if I had arrived in another place.

Different from the opulent scene outside the door, the design of the hall is very elegant. I saw that the front and back curtains were covered, and the flowers and bamboos on all sides were gloomy, and they were connected to the back garden.

On the west wall hangs a picture of Tang Yin's "Qingxi Pine Shade", the distant mountains on the picture are like a giant monument, and the mountains are dense and gradually thin. Another Gao Shifu sat in the shade of the pines and held his head up in contemplation, and one of the pine trees interspersed between the rock walls, and the ancient vines wrapped around the mountains, with the tendency of rising slightly in the wind. There is also a couplet hanging on the left and right, which is Yan Lugong's ink, and its word cloud: Yanxia idle bones, Quanshiye career.

At this time, there were already many people sitting in the banquet, and when they saw these three people coming in, they couldn't help but laugh and greet them.

"Lu Yayuan is really talented."

"Brother Aqui, sit here."

"Lu Xiaoju is fortunate to be happy."

The Lu family came out with three people at once, and everyone really couldn't use their surnames as names, so they could only use their names to call them.

Lu Heng and the three of them nodded in return, and also smiled and entered the table.

After a while, most of the lifters came one after another. The arrival of Xie Yuan Ning Chang caused a small sensation among these people, and everyone more or less had good intentions towards this young Xie Yuan.

Who wouldn't want to be in a good relationship with someone who can pass the exam at the age of sixteen and even win the first place among hundreds of thousands? If he can also win a good ranking in the Spring Festival, he will definitely shine in the court in the future, and it is unlimited.

"Brother Hengxian." After Ning Chang smiled and returned the salute with everyone one by one, he took the opportunity to sit next to Lu Heng.

"Brother Ning." Lu Heng smiled politely at him.

Na Ning Chang didn't speak anymore, only poured wine with a smile, and raised a glass to Lu Heng sideways and drank it all.

Lu Heng didn't reply, and also raised his glass and drank.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Others couldn't help but secretly sigh when they looked at it - Xie Yuan and Ya Yuan raised their glasses and drank at the same table, which was really too eye-catching. However, what is even more amazing is that the two of them did not see a spark as far as they could see, and they were very peaceful, and there was no disbelief on the faces of Xie Yuan and Ya Yuan when they met in previous years.

Over there, King Jingzhaoyi happened to enter the hall, and he was secretly surprised when he saw this scene. It is the norm for literati to be contemptuous of each other, especially when the two are almost the same, and those who win the second place are often unconvinced. The two young men in front of them are so calm and light-hearted, and it seems that they will have great achievements in the future.

The banquet officially began, and everyone in the new imperial examination was in the spring breeze, regardless of age, they were all commensurate with the virtuous brothers. There was delicious food and wine on the table, and more than a dozen beautiful Kabuki fished in. The rings between the rows are bells, and the fragrant wind is gusting. And while turning around and dancing softly, the song of "Deer Song" was played, and the sound was pleasant and beautiful, like a pearl falling on a jade plate.

"Yo yo deer chirping, apple of the wild food.

I have guests, drummers and shengs.

Blowing the sheng drum spring, bearing the basket is the will.

People are kind to me, show me to walk.

Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild artemisia.

I have a guest, Deyin Kong Zhao.

If the people are not ashamed, the gentleman is effective.

I have a purpose to drink, and the guest style Yan Yiao.

Yo yo deer chirping, eating wild Qin.

I have guests, drums and pianos.

The drums and drums are harmonious and harmonious.

I have a purpose to drink, with the heart of Yanle guests. ”

Suddenly, there was a singing voice, the voice was clear and long, with the spring breeze of the young man. Everyone looked at it, but it was the autumn and the Yuan Ningchang. I saw that his eyebrows were clear, the corners of his lips were smiling, and he sang casually, and he was extremely chic and graceful.

Those beautiful kabuki were very eye-catching, and they were all music connoisseurs, so they understood each other's thoughts in the flow of their eyes. They all shouted in unison, and the tune suddenly changed.

I only listened to the music style from the previous light and slow singing to a sudden wind, the tone was passionate and powerful, and the sound of drums was in the ears, forcing everyone to be agitated and couldn't help but sing together.

When the music stopped abruptly, everyone only felt that the heroic words were expressed in a song, and they were happy. couldn't help laughing, eating and drinking so happy.

During the banquet, there was a steady stream of delicacies, and there were many dishes that imply a bright future, such as carp leaping over the dragon gate, autumn chrysanthemum and phoenix spreading its wings. The people of the new imperial examination drank and wrote poems one after another, and King Jingzhaoyi smiled and saluted the people with three glasses of wine.

Before Lord Wang could say a few more words, the door of the hall suddenly opened, and he saw the candles in the lobby of Fengle Building bright and the drums beating.

Everyone in the hall couldn't help but look at it, and the individual guests eating in the outside room didn't know what was going on, and even the people in the private room upstairs also looked down.

"Kuixing came down to earth, and yellow flowers bloomed all over the ground." I only heard a slightly hoarse female voice singing. Then a figure as red as a flame jumped out high, and his waist sank and twisted, and he looked back.

Everyone's eyes were full of flowers, and their minds were muddy, and they only remembered those eyes that were as black as cold stars.

"It's Li Twelve Niang!" Someone shouted.

There was a sudden silence all around, and then there was a bang.

Li Rushuang, the first dancer in Yan Kingdom!

In the past, I only heard the jade appearance of this female brocade dress, like a swimming dragon, and with a wave of her sleeves, she swayed the thousands of weather of the prosperous era of Dayan. Now I can see it!

"Kui Xing went to Huatang and made a fuss." The hoarse female voice sounded again, although it was not pleasant to the ear, but I felt that the aftertaste in my ears was long.

Everyone looked intently, only to see the red shadow dancing like a lotus flower, and the skirt was flying layer by layer. Suddenly, his waist was bent like a bow, and he stood on tiptoe with one dangerous and dangerous one.

The audience was thrilled, and even the heavens and the earth seemed to rise and fall with the change of dance. Li Twelve Niang's style is compelling, and her dancing skills are exquisite, and she really deserves the name of the first dancer in Yan Kingdom.

After the dance, the slightly hoarse female voice echoed quietly in the hall with heroism.

"The Twelve Niangs of the Li Family, the Great Yan Dance Queen, congratulations to all the officials for winning the laurels!"

For a while, there were cheers everywhere in Fengle Building, and the people of the new imperial examination were all smiling and politely saluting the surroundings.

After this scene, even Lu Heng, who was the calmest and gentleest on weekdays, couldn't help but feel his heart stirred, and secretly gave birth to infinite ambitions.
