Chapter 211: Phoenix Seeking Phoenix
After cleaning up, Su Yi went out. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
In front of the door, Han Leshan had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Su Yi appear, he immediately greeted him.
"Su Mitian, Brother Xiuzhu ordered me to pick you up and take you to Qinhuai Tower. Han Leshan arched his hand and said.
"Brother Xiuzhu sent me an invitation and asked you to pick me up, are you afraid that I won't participate?"
"Ahem, this is naturally the case, after all, you are the protagonist of the banquet, if you don't participate, everyone will have to go home, but the main reason is that Brother Xiuzhu is worried that you will not find the way, so he specially asked me to be a guide. Han Leshan said with a smile.
Su Yi nodded and got into the other party's car.
The coachman whipped his horse, and the carriage began to move smoothly.
"Who are the people who came to the banquet this time?" asked Su Yi.
"Most of them are the ones who passed the examination this year, but most of the Han family members didn't come, cough, the reason, Su Mitian you should also understand, so please don't mind; in addition, most of the participants are rich businessmen, famous families, and various gentlemen and celebrities, you can take the opportunity to broaden your network, which is very beneficial; Oh yes, several other second- and third-rate generals in Southern Xuzhou will also send people to congratulate. Han Leshan replied.
"Divide the door into one, two, and three streams?"
"That's natural, just like the barbarians' 'wolf clan', 'royal clan' and 'Khan clan' bloodline, the human race's heroes, flying generals and Yuanrong family's heritage and inheritance are also high and low, and the privileges enjoyed are also different, my Xiangmen and Hanmen are among the first-class generals, and the flying generals and Haojie families belong to the second-rate and third-rate generals respectively, and the privileges they enjoy are much less. A hint of pride flashed between Han Leshan's eyebrows.
"I don't know if a poor clan like me has to be regarded as a ninth-rate? Even if it is a third-rate general, its heritage and energy are probably far comparable to that of ordinary clans. Su Yi smiled bitterly.
"The more privileges you enjoy, the greater the responsibilities you need to bear, sometimes it is not easy to be a disciple of the general, I often envy the freedom and open-mindedness of the common people......"
Han Leshan's face showed a look of yearning, and Su Yi said in his heart: "After you have tasted the days of worrying about firewood, rice, oil and salt, you will understand that it is better to open the door." ”
After chatting for a while, Han Leshan brought the topic to the banquet.
"When Brother Xiuzhu won the case last year, he was still modest and low-key, but this year he did not win the championship, but he was elated, and he put on a high-profile banquet for you. Han Leshan said with emotion.
"I understand Brother Xiuzhu's thoughts, besides, why did this banquet be held in Qinhuai Tower?" Su Yi asked.
Although Qinhuai Tower is not in the city, it is the largest restaurant in the whole South Xuzhou, only slightly inferior to the near water building of Jiankang in the capital, and has always been the first choice for large-scale banquets; the Beiwanggang on the riverside is the main place for trade between South Xuzhou and the East China Sea, where merchants come and go frequently, it is more lively than anywhere, and the main stores of many large merchants in the state city are mostly set up here; although Beiwanggang is outside the city, it is also within the coverage of the Wumiao, and Su Mitian can rest assured. ”
"I'm not worried about this ......," Su Yi muttered, he remembered the martial arts meeting in Nan Ke's dream, which was also held in Qinhuai Tower.
But before Su Yi could ask, Han Leshan spoke just right.
"By the way, I heard that there is another martial arts meeting that is about to be held tonight, but I don't know where to choose, but we have already decided to participate in this banquet, although the color of the martial arts meeting is tempting, and you can also learn a lot of experience and combat skills of the six arts and nine arts, but there is the name of Su Mitian, who cares about that. ”
Hearing this, Su Yi pulled out a smile and thought in her heart: "It can't be such a coincidence, right? The Kuishou Banquet and the Martial Arts Association actually collided? Fortunately, Qin Huai Lou has already been taken over by Brother Xiuzhu, and the Martial Arts Association will inevitably change the venue, but is this some conspiracy of Han Song? I should be careful." ”
Su Yi was secretly wary in her heart.
The carriage and horses went out of the north city gate and drove onto the official road, Su Yi opened the curtains and looked out of the car, and found that there were many small restaurants and stalls on the side of the road, with colorful lights and an endless stream of pedestrians, enjoying themselves.
"Beiwanggang is only seven miles away from the state city, and there are many shops on both sides of the official road, and many merchants from other places will choose to walk into the city and have a fun time on the road, which is also a local custom. Han Leshan introduced.
Su Yi nodded, sighing in her heart at the prosperity of Southern Xuzhou.
After tea time, the two of them came to the outside of the port smoothly.
Standing at the intersection, Su Yi can already feel the heyday of the port trade, the streets are full of cars and horses, pedestrians and pedestrians are orderly, and the streets are lined with pavilions, most of which are three-storey buildings with carved beams and paintings, which are a little more magnificent than the commercial street buildings in the city, and the shouts of the merchants and the bargaining of the people are endless, adding a touch of heat to this trading resort.
Su Yi stepped into the port, as if she had passed through an extremely thin light curtain, and her eyes were a little brighter, and the lights on all sides were brilliant.
This layer of light curtain swept every corner of Su Yi's body, but no vision occurred.
"It seems that this is the 'security screening procedure' at the port. Su Yi thought to herself.
There were already more than a dozen people waiting on the side of the street, and when they saw Su Yi appear, they immediately looked happy and hurriedly greeted them.
"Su Mitian!"
"Su Mitian, we are waiting for you, hurry up, I will take you to Qinhuai Tower. ”
"Hehe, I've been waiting since the afternoon to now, and I've been thinking about seeing you. ”
Most of these people are middle-aged, and there are also classmates from two or three county colleges, who are familiar faces, and the others are very angry.
They were full of smiles and enthusiasm, so that Su Yi couldn't help but murmur in her heart: "It's the first time we've met, but these people are full of enthusiasm, what kind of fame?"
Han Leshan noticed Su Yi's puzzled look, and hurriedly whispered: "These people are all merchants in Dongcheng District, because this year's chess club Xiang family is a big victory, and a large number of Chu and Han national fortunes have been affected and flowed to Dongcheng District, so the business of these merchants has improved greatly, and they have also made a lot of money from speculation and trading, so they are naturally grateful, you can accept it with confidence." ”
Hearing this, Su Yi had a little understanding of the nature of the country's fortunes, so she hurriedly returned the salute to everyone.
"You shopkeepers are polite, maybe I want to ask you to take care of you in the future, how about getting to know each other this time?" Su Yi said with a smile.
Everyone was overjoyed, and praised Su Yi for being humble and talented, and hurriedly reported his identity.
With the help of her ability to forget, Su Yi wrote down all the faces and identities of everyone, and then went to Qinhuai Tower with them.
On the way, many people also recognized Su Yi's face, and a ray of joy flashed in their eyes, and then they followed silently.
Later, Su Yi was already followed by hundreds of people, occupying the street like a dragon crossing the river, and the merchants from other places were shocked when they saw this strange scene, thinking that it was a state official who came to inspect, and hurriedly got out of the way.
Qinhuai Tower is splendid on all sides, and it is a three-storey restaurant that opens up three pavilions, which is famous far and wide.
And Han Xiuzhu was waiting at the door with a group of people, and when he saw the battle behind Su Yi, he seemed to have expected it, and he was not surprised at all, but when Su Yi approached, his expression was a little strange.
"Su Mitian, your good fortune is not shallow. Han Xiuzhu raised an indescribable smile that only a man could read.
"Brother Xiuzhu, this can't be used as a greeting, what's going on?"
"Come in and talk about it. ”
As soon as he entered the house, before Su Yi could scan the situation in the field, a clear bell-like singing voice jumped into Su Yi's ears accompanied by the melodious sound of the guqin.
"The phoenix returns to its hometown and travels all over the world to seek its phoenix. When there is nothing to do, how can he realize that he is now ascending to the Sitang......"
The song turned into a butterfly in substance, flying around the beam, and the audience was fascinated, as if in a dream.
Su Yi immediately heard that this was the line of the guqin song "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix", and the singer's voice was melodious and natural, which showed that this woman's appearance would not be bad.
But Su Yi's attention was elsewhere.
This "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" tells the story of Sima Xiangru's pursuit of Zhuo Wenjun, but it is not created by Sima Xiangru himself, but is a piano song written by later generations; ”
However, although the folk singing "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" is only composed by an unknown musician, it is also a literary song with considerable effect, not inferior to "Flat Sand and Falling Geese", "Hu Ji Eighteen Beats" and other tunes, and has always been favored by male musicians; Su Yi said in her heart.
He still doesn't know who or who sang it.
The hall of the restaurant is very large, hundreds of tables have been placed, and most of the seats have been seated by guests.
When many people saw Su Yi coming in, they put on faces that were even more strange than Han Xiuzhu's.
"We went up to the second floor. ”
After that, Han Xiuzhu led the way to the stairs, Su Yi nodded and followed, and many people along the way came forward to say hello, and then handed over their name thorns.
In just over thirty steps, Su Yi received seventy or eighty famous thorns.
The large box on the second floor also has three tables of banquets, only the highest status of the people in the state can be seated, Xiang Yiming and several other children of the Xiang family are sitting in the corner, and a woman is playing and singing "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" behind the bead curtain.
There were already a few people sitting at the main table, and when Su Yi's gaze stayed on an old man with white lips, his expression suddenly froze. (To be continued.) )
