Chapter 4: The Cloud Pavilion Gathering

The two nobles surrounded by everyone, after walking through more than a dozen zigzag porches, finally came to the Xiao family's reception place, Mu Yu Tingfeng Pavilion, which is the largest and tallest building in the whole hall, 20 zhang long, eight floors up and down, and 49 golden silk nanmu wooden pillars solidly support the weight of the pavilion. A clear water surrounds the pavilion, the marble bridge of the four sides is connected, the bluestone rockery is dotted among them, the duckweed is elegant, the fish and birds are jubilant, full of vitality, and the broken tiger cliff behind the pavilion, the situation is precipitous and the green forest is arranged, swaying with the wind and the pavilion reflect each other, a majestic scene!

": The layout of this place is majestic and wonderful, but the pavilion garden is delicate and exquisite, full of interest, but a bit like my home in Yingnanzhou!" Xiao Yu asked thoughtfully, even though Li Fengqian had excellent cultivation, but after hearing this, a trace of unhappiness flashed in his heart, and he casually skimmed it. : My sister guessed not badly, the layout around this pavilion is indeed like a tight sister boudoir: Huaiyuan, but the layout of the room is still different, Huan has always loved the southern garden, and the sister's Huaiyuan is the first of the forest gardens, I don't want to build a building in the north, I actually refer to my sister's boudoir, please forgive my sister for being reckless?!hehe~~" Looking at her smile, Xiaoyu kissed her fragrant shoulder, and said softly": Sister don't want to say this to hurt my sister, it is the honor of my little sister to be loved by my brother and sister-in-law!" : Xian Mei is still so open-minded, don't talk about this, they should be in a hurry!" After that, I brought everyone into the Tingfeng Pavilion, only to see that the lobby on the first floor to the third floor was full of people, there were many entertainment facilities, and there were many well-known people, including officers, capable officials, rich people, scholars, famous and excellent, all of them, but although these people were numerous, they were not the protagonists of the Xiao family's key hospitality, and they were in the potential object of observation, because their background and ability did not reach the class of the Xiao family's key reception, so they were politely refused to enter the fourth floor by the Xiao family's guards just like Wang Junqi and others.

After responding to the concerned gaze of his subordinates, Xiaoyu followed Li Fengqian into the spiral staircase on the fourth floor alone, the decoration style above the fourth floor began to become luxurious and exquisite, the furniture was exquisitely placed, the jewelry was precious, the sandalwood was lit all the year round to dye the room, the guests during the banquet were all nobles, gentry and wealthy businessmen, clan leaders, and the person responsible for the reception was also the head of the Xiao family, as for the Moon Gazing Residence on the top floor, it was the place where Xiao Jinghuan, the person in charge of the north of the Xiao family, received the VIPs, the moon door was open, the internal space was wide, and the sunlight was mottled by the concealed hollow sandalwood window, and the magnificent form was sprinkled on the marble floor, and the two corners of the main seat steps were placed with a blank jade incense burner inlaid with gold and engravingSixteen glamorous geisha sit in the back row, holding a variety of musical instruments and playing beautiful music, Mochizuki has 36 VIP seats, each with top rhinoceros horn and Nanmu wood carving, tableware and equipment are made of precious metals, with different materials of utensils used to meet guests of different classes, each seat has a cushioned backrest, providing guests to relax and stretch their bodies, everyone at the banquet looks at the newcomers who enter the door with curious eyes, because the first position in the left row has been empty, they have been thinking about which party to keep the seat, when the mystery is revealed, no one could have imagined that the person who came from Shanshan turned out to be a woman wearing a light veil, and they looked up and down curiously, looking at the pair of wonderful people who entered the door.

": Sister Xian, are you here!?" As a voice with anticipation and happiness sounded, everyone's eyes returned to the chairman of this banquet, and it was the person in charge of the north of the Xiao family, the most accomplished talent of the younger generation of the clan, the temple royal gift Dingdinghou: Xiao Jinghuan. I saw that this person was twenty-seven years old, with long hair coiled up, high bundles with crowns, slender eyebrows, straight to the temples, Zhou Zheng facial features, deep eyes, a heroic spirit, a black mole at the corner of the left eye, reflecting a handsome face, under the straight nose bridge is a healthy flesh-colored thin lips, with a trace of confidence all year round. He was wearing a white gold robe with a cloud pattern, a soft leather robe lined with Gushan horned rhinoceros, a polished cow belt with complex patterns on his waist, golden boots with lizard skin on his feet, a thin white porcelain tea set held in his slender left hand, and a white jade accessory on the tassel on his waist with his right hand. I saw him get up, quickly stepped down the steps, three steps and two steps in front of the two, he stroked his wife's pink back with a hand full of pity, signaled her to return to the chairman, turned to Xiaoyu and hugged his fist, ": Please forgive Brother Yu for not being well entertained, I didn't greet you in person, you also saw that today is a guest Yingmen, Brother Yu is inconvenient to go out, haha!!" Xiaoyu smiled and said softly, "Brother Xian doesn't have to care, the little sister comes to the door to disturb, ask my brother for a bowl of happy tea and rice to eat, don't mind Brother Xian." ”

Xiao Jinghuan smiled heartily": My sister is still so naughty, come and come~ Please take a seat first, take off your coat, and chat with us while eating. Xiaoyu sat down by the maid to remove her fur fur and veil, revealing a peerless and beautiful face, which amazed everyone, and praised her in a low voice. For a while, the lobby became lively, "Haha, don't be surprised, this young lady is Duan Jintian from the famous Shengshi Weaving Workshop in the south of Yingnan! The fabrics produced by the Duan family weaving workshop are unique in the world, and they supply royal Kampot tribute clothes all year round, which can be described as hard to find! And Miss Duan's golden dipping holy hand is a family heirloom, and the price of the fabric embroidered by her will immediately increase dozens of times! Everyone, now through our mediation and royal approval, the Duan family is about to open a branch in the north, come ~ come ~I invite you all to raise a glass to this southern girl who has traveled a long way!" everyone raised their glasses to Xiaoyu. Seeing this, Xiao Yu hurriedly got up and responded: "Thanks to the love of Brother Xiao and all the guests, the juniors announced to everyone here today that everyone here can receive ten horses of Gongbu provided by my Duan's weaving workshop. Ten sets of specially embroidered costumes. And give you a five-year discount, I hope you will not hesitate to introduce friends and family members to take care of my Duan's northern branch business!" "Gongpot tribute clothes are originally a rare thing, and the rich gifts of the Duan family are very exciting, not to mention the year-round discount service, so that everyone is more full of good feelings for this well-behaved, beautiful and generous wealthy businessman, and the atmosphere in the venue is gradually lively. The dignitaries in the surrounding seats also tried to talk to her, and the chairman, looking at her husband's appreciative look, Li Fengqian was slightly angry in her heart, the wine glass in her hand trembled slightly, and the phoenix looked at Xiaoyu, and her sharp eyes wanted to stare at this woman through.

On the back row of seats on the left, a girl got up and walked towards Xiaoyu, only to see her wearing a rain dew duckweed hairpin, wearing a lake-green embroidered robe, the corners of her eyebrows are decorated with cold white flower stickers, light pink makeup penetrates the moisture of the skin, blowing can be broken, the corners of the eyes are slightly upturned, the lying silkworm is full, Zhu Run's full lips are smeared with light red lip gloss, a light beauty, I saw her one-handed toast like Xiaoyu signal, Zhu Lip opened and closed, "Sister is so beautiful, you and your sister-in-law should be the most beautiful people in the banquet!" Hearing this, everyone really began to compare the beauty of the two, and the whispering continued, and it seemed chaotic for a while! Xiao Jinghuan glanced at the woman and said in a deep voice, "Siqi retreated, you are overdistance!" Xiao Siqi turned to his brother and saluted, "Brother, don't be angry, the little sister just heard that Miss Jinyi's weaving and embroidery skills are famous all over the world, and I wanted to ask for advice carefully, but I didn't want to see Sister Jinyi today, and I felt that it was worthy of the name, haha!~~." It's no wonder that your brother was so lingering that you were stationed in Yingnan, and you didn't even participate in such an important thing as the family heir's review, hmph! Am I right, sister-in-law!!" Li Fengqian heard that they brought themselves between words, and her husband's experience has always been an obsession in her heart, and the unhappy mood was even worse, her eyes were sparkling and she looked at Xiao Jinghuan with resentment, unable to speak, only to see Xiao Jinghuan gently caressing his wife's pink back, and said quietly, ": Yingnan Duan's family is a talented weaving family, passed down for eight generations, and the wealth is huge, I did want to be united with the Duan family back then, but the creation made people, but let me marry the beautiful people around me, and the good wife has shared my worries for many years, for my beloved! Now that the past is gone, others should not mention it again. At the same time, he stared at Xiao Siqi, his eyes were reproachful, implying that he was presumptuous! Li Fengqian's heart warmed when he heard this, his heart was filled with infinite joy, his face showed a trace of flushing, and his soft onion fingers gently stroked his husband's legs, expressing infinite affection!

That's right, everyone yearns for beauty, half of our family's pursuit of beauty is love, half is profit, there are not many people like Brother Xiao who are infatuated, we were opponents in Yingnan at the beginning, I can't think of you still let me now, Feng Qian didn't choose me because I was not good at amorous feelings, Miss Jinyi didn't choose me because I was not smart enough, but see the old man today, Feng Qian has been in love with Brother Xiao like a guest, and the younger brother is as brave as a chance. Can Jin Yi have mercy, how about a few drinks with me tonight? I'm in for a treat!" I heard a word accompanied by laughter coming from Xiaoyu's neighbor seat, looking at the figure of the speaker, the burly and solid, bronzed and handsome face exuded a rough aura, thick eyebrows like ink, sharp and deep eyes, and the corners of the mouth were raised, revealing a provocative atmosphere. He wore a purple and gold crown on his head, a royal blue satin pattern stand-up collar robe, the outer robe was short-sleeved, revealing the sleeves of the frost-white arc-patterned inner robe, his left hand was propped up on the small table and touched his chin, and his right hand raised a glass to greet Xiaoyu! The green tendons on his hands were swollen, and the wine glass seemed to be broken when he was pinched. This person is the Tianwu of the Nine Great Gates: the outstanding figure of the young generation of the Bu family master, the third brother of the valve master, Bu Xiaolin, the young son of the entire Bu family who has not been married, has strong blood and martial arts. is favored by many girls from the family, but they claim to the outside world that they only appreciate Duan Jinyi, and they will not marry her, because of this evil star, the tired Jinyi has no new suitors after Xiao Jinghuan who dares to come to the door to propose. Xiaoyu rolled his eyes and looked at him, thinking, "This stinky boy, is finally willing to speak?" turned his head and said sarcastically in a fierce tone: "Duplicity bastard, this girl is not unfamiliar with your stinky wine and stinky dishes, she knows that I came to Dingzhou and will not come to pick me up, and she keeps saying that she likes me, so she knows that she is a liar!"
