Chapter 7: A small building in the middle of the lake
Yan Mengyu's small lake center is built on the shore of the unseen lake in the suburbs of Beijing, the willows hang down the embankment by the lake, the smoke waves are vast, and there are pavilions and pavilions standing proudly in the center of the lake, which is one of the eight views of Beijing.
Li Tiantu was standing under the willow tree by the lake at this moment, looking at the blue waves in his eyes, his mood was also relaxed, and the haze of a few days ago finally disappeared.
Tonight's banquet is in the middle of the lake Xiaozhu, thinking of this, Li Tiantu felt that the originally calm heart actually began to beat violently, took a deep breath, and he walked towards Xiaozhu along the ten-mile bluestone long bridge that leads directly to the center of the lake.
The small building in the middle of the lake is the most famous restaurant in Beijing, and it is also the most distinctive restaurant. The restaurant has four major characteristics, one is the geographical location of the restaurant, the restaurant is located on a small island in the middle of the lake surrounded by water, coupled with the unique architectural style of the Western Regions, so that the people in the restaurant feel like they are in the painting; The second is the cooking skills of the chef of the restaurant, some people have described the cooking skills of the chef of Xiaozhu in the center of the lake, eating and staying in the restaurant within a month, the delicious dishes enjoyed by the guests are not the same, and the dishes are across the whole world, the east, west, north and south of the major cuisines, people who have come to the restaurant are full of praise; The third is the four words of the restaurant's signboard "Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake", which is nominated by the saint today, and is the only honor in the world; Fourth, Yan Mengyu, the owner of the restaurant, is proficient in chess and chess, calligraphy and painting, and the dream dance steps are even more mysterious, which makes people fall into a dream and be intoxicated.
Behind the small building, there are already many people in the smoke and rain building half-hidden under the greenery. Yanyu Building is not open to the public, it is just Yan Mengyu's private place, and the people who can be invited here are either rich or expensive.
Li Tiantu looked around, all of them were personable aristocratic sons. Relatively speaking, Li Tiantu's dress is obviously shabby to the extreme. But he didn't care, all he cared about was Yan Mengyu's attitude.
Standing in the hall chatting and chatting, the four sons and brothers, who were extremely graceful and luxurious, were obviously surprised that Li Tiantu could be invited by Yan Mengyu. Although they weren't there during the day, they had heard about it, but everyone took it for granted that it was just a polite remark by Yan Meiren, but they didn't expect this kid to be so uninteresting that he took it seriously. So they all looked at the stranger who came unexpectedly with a strange look.
Li Tiantu hated this kind of look very much, as if he was watching a rare animal, he was a man, and he didn't like to be stared at like this by men.
Yan Meiren walked out of the inner hall at this time, although she had seen a lot of her beauty, she still couldn't help but take a few more looks.
If you can face such a beauty every day, even if you give the whole country to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu doesn't want it. Li Tiantu suddenly had such a ridiculous and rough thought in his heart.
Yan Meiren smiled slightly, turned her eyes to Li Tiantu, who had just arrived, and said leisurely: "Li Gongzi is here for the first time, let me introduce a few friends of Mengyu for Gongzi." “
After listening to the introduction of the beauty, Li Tiantu knew that these four people were the "Four Princes of Beijing" who were famous in Beijing. When the crown prince Tianyixuan, the general's righteous son Ding Yifan, the prime minister's Jian Jiuling's son Jian Chenfei, and the second son of the imperial historian Nangong Ting, Nangong Huai.
Among these four people, on the surface, except for Nangong Huai, who looked a little friendly, the other three all showed obvious contempt for Li Tiantu.
In fact, they were not convinced, why did he become a first-class guard with a knife by the emperor's side with only one competition, and was invited by Yan Mengyu, the first beauty in Beijing, who also doubted his origin.
For Nangong Huai, Li Tiantu really doesn't know what it feels like, he is not the most beautiful man in Beijing, his face is as white as jade, gentle and elegant, he talks well, and he is a very attractive man. Li Tiantu thinks that he can't compare with it, no wonder he can be favored by Yan Mei. But his feeling for Nangong Huai is not good, not because of Yan Meiren. His intuition told him that Yan Meiren might not be happy with Nangong Huai.
Of course, this may just be an illusion caused by his own selfishness, so he just thought about it in his heart, and he was not uninterested enough to point it out to his face.
Yan Mengyu smiled slightly, and said to the five people present: "Today, Li Gongzi came to Yanyu Building for the first time, and Mengyu decided to present the "Drunk and Leisurely" treasured by the Tower, please taste it. ”
In addition to Li Tiantu's ignorant face, I don't know what "drunk and free" is, the other four Yanyulou regulars have bright eyes, the "drunk and free" brewed in the small building in the middle of the lake is never sold to the public, they have been invited to Xiaozhu more than ten times and only tasted it twice, so far it is still unforgettable, the wine is like a beauty, which makes people infinitely nostalgic.
Yan Meiren's treasured "drunk and free" is really extraordinary. Li Tiantu had two cups of stomach, and his head was already a little dizzy. These two cups were poured by Yan Meiren for everyone personally, and she couldn't faint if she didn't want to.
"Everyone's interest is so high, why don't everyone make a poem or say a wine order through wine?" Yan Mengyuqiao, who was slightly drunk, blushed slightly, and her interest tonight was particularly high.
Nangong Huai immediately responded: "The beauty has a life, of course she will accompany her." “
"Let's go down with the theme of the dream word, how about it?" After Nangong Huai finished speaking, he smiled evilly at Yan Meiren, very proud.
Yan Mengyu, who was even more charming under the fiery red light, felt Nangong Huai's presumptuousness, and couldn't help but glare at him fiercely.
This move made several other people in the past envious. Jingshi and even the entire rivers and lakes, only Nangong Huai dared to talk to Yan Meiren so unscrupulously.
"Then Mengyu came first." The more drunk the beauty, the more delicate it is.
"Dreams are the moon in the water, and dreams are flowers in the fog. Fall asleep under the bright moon, and see flowers in the mist. The fog dispersed and the flowers were gone, and only then did they enter the real dream. “
"Good sentences, sentences are interlocking, Fairy Yan's talent is almost comparable to the two great talents of the north and south, Zhu Wenwu and Tang Yin." Tian Yixuan's ass with the respect of the prince made several people around him secretly disdainful.
As soon as he heard Zhu Wenwu, the first genius in Jiangbei, a wisp of gloom flashed on Nangong Huai's face like a crown of jade, and soon dissipated without a trace. I have to say that it was the ugly Zhu Fat Man who overwhelmed Nangong Huai, who was conceited and talented, in the palace examination the year before last, and made him condescend to the position of Tanhua. How can Nangong not hate in his heart.
The attention of everyone present was on the alcoholic beauty, how to care about Nangong Huai's strange expression.
Ding Yifan, the general's son, was not to be outdone, flattering and said: "The name of Yan Mei's talented woman has long surpassed the so-called two talents. “
Jian Chenfei was straightforward, and involuntarily touched his head, as if he understood whether he understood or not: "It's good, it's good." “
Yan Meiren didn't pay too much attention to the prince and Ding Yifan, but chuckled at Jian Chenfei.
At this point, Li Tiantu saw that among the four people, Nangong Huai had the deepest scheming. Yan Meiren obviously has a lot of affection for Nangong, and she doesn't care too much about the prince and Ding Yifan, but has a good impression of Jian Chenfei's honesty.
"Dreams are real, dreams are false. True and false, false and true. This sentence is also quite poetic, and Prince Tianyixuan is a little smug.
Next, it was Jianchen's turn to fly.
Jian Chenfei, who was born to dislike reading and only loves to practice martial arts, is completely different from the two talented female sisters, and his brain is a little insufficient at this time. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he hurriedly raised the wine glass on the table and said embarrassedly, "I'll drink a glass of wine first." As he spoke, he picked up the wine glass and drank it, only to realize that there was not even a drop of wine in the glass.
Seeing Jian Chenfei's embarrassing state, Yan Mengyu couldn't help but laugh with a "flutter", and the flowers and branches of laughter trembled. Everyone couldn't help but laugh. can make Jianchen's face flushed. Li Tiantu also fell in love with the straight-tempered young man sitting next to him. Secretly drew a few random words on his back with his hand.
"Hazy, confused, like a song and crying, like poetry and picturesque." Jian Chenfei suddenly came out like a poetic immortal possession, which surprised several people around him, and these four sentences really summarized the characteristics of the dream vividly. But no one noticed the grateful glance that he threw at Li Tiantu afterwards.
Li Tiantu took advantage of the situation to hit the railway while it was hot: "What a dream without dreams." “
"Dreams without dreams are indeed the highest level of poetry and lyrics, and they are no longer limited to form. I didn't expect this kind of realm to make Fei Gongzi, who is the most amateur in poetry, realize. "Everyone didn't expect Yan Meiren to have such a high opinion of Jian Chenfei.
Nangong Huai's face changed slightly, but he recovered in an instant. But unfortunately, he was seen by Li Tiantu, who had been paying attention to him.
"Yesterday I dreamed, dreamed of rain, dreamed of smoke. When I woke up in the morning, I realized it was a dream. Nangong Huai said the words, but the meaning was very obvious, implying that Yan Mengyu was his.
After listening to Nangong Huai's words, Yan Mengyu's originally red pretty face was darker, and her cherry lips opened slightly: "It's time for Mu Gongzi."
"Birdsong is heard in the forest, and the sunset is red on the horizon. The two birds fly in the air together, chasing the wind and the moon. “
Shicheng, Li Tiantu, who felt incompatible with these people, picked up the cup and poured a sip of "drunk and free", and then stood up violently, "Li Tiantu has something to do, so I will leave first." “
Except for Yan Meiren, several other people looked at Li Tiantu, a little strange that he didn't know what to do, and he spoiled the scenery.
Jian Chenfei secretly tugged at the corner of his clothes and motioned for him to stay.
However, Li Tiantu has made up his mind. The beauty has no intention, not to mention that the beauty has already intended someone, and Li Tiantu is ready to let go. The eldest husband naturally has to be able to take it and put it down. There are many people who know this sentence, but there are a few people who can really do it.
Yan Mengyu's watery eyes stared at Li Tiantu for a while, and then he said slowly: "Since Li Gongzi has something, Mengyu won't stay much." “
At this time, the moon was already in the middle of the sky, and Li Tiantu hugged his fists to say goodbye to everyone and floated away.
