Yuan Zai opened the partition door of the inner room, and Xiao Hua was lying on the couch and sleeping in his clothes, holding a book in his hand and napping.

He said to him with a flirtatious expression, "It seems that you will not be able to rest tonight, and we are ready to enjoy the bliss of the world." ”

Xiao Hua threw down the book and sat cross-legged on his knees, looking at him with a sarcastic expression: "You and I have a heavy responsibility, we should always be cautious, and before the case of monopoly fraud on the pepper trade road is investigated, any pleasure behavior should be eliminated." ”

Yuan Zai smiled without saying a word, and handed over the jute paper with the letter written on it.

Xiao Hua held the jute paper in his hand, gradually crumpled it into a ball, and snorted coldly in his mouth: "The people behind the scenes finally can't bear to show their heads, this Dunhuang Zhang clan is a big family in Hexi, with both poetry and book heirlooms and businessmen, and they are also quite powerful people." I didn't expect to join the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce. Sure enough, the world is declining, and people's hearts are not ancient. ”

"It's useless to sigh here, you can give a word, whether we are going to participate in this so-called Hongmen banquet or not."

"Go, why don't you go, I want to see the ability of this Hexi tycoon first."

Yuan Zai quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, a banquet could not explain anything, nor could it replace anything, but it could quench his thirsty curiosity. Dunhuang's Chuiyue Fang has long been famous, how can a man not go to the soup and fire?

The two of them changed into ordinary merchant clothes, walked out of the post house when the sky was hazy, and headed towards the brightly lit Weeping Moon Square in the city.

It is rare to see willow trees with silky leaves in the sandbar area, and there are many of them standing in the walls of the Weeping Moon Fang, and the summer breeze blows at night, and the branches sway gently.

The structural distribution of Chuiyue Fang and Chang'an Pingkang Fang is roughly the same, but there is no other building in the fang except for the brothel, and the distribution is also polarized.

Nanqu is completely a gathering place for dignitaries and nobles, and several beautiful and intellectual people all know their own unique skills, or they are masters of playing the pipa, or they have first-class dance skills, and their skills are astonishing, or they are brilliant in writing, and they are exported into chapters, or they sing tactfully like a yellow oriole.

Among them, the most famous Muzhuang Pavilion gathered three of them, and countless wealthy and wise people came to visit, but they were politely turned away, which inspired them to enter the museum to have a glimpse.

Recently, the Muzhuang Pavilion was bought by a big man from the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce, which reduced the external entertainment, making the Muzhuang Pavilion an unattainable Fengyue Holy Land in the eyes of tens of millions of merry guests in Hexi.

Xiao Hua and Yuan Zai walked along the willow trees on the side of the road to the gate of the courtyard of Muzhuang Pavilion, and there were dozens of high-rollers with letters outside the door, but the two looked up in the crowd with empty hands.

At the gate of the courtyard stood two men in long brown shirts, sturdy as door gods, guarding both sides. The side door creaked open, and out of it came a charming woman who was a, and said to everyone in a soft tone: "Everyone, please go back, our host is here to feast guests tonight." ”

The high rollers sighed and left, bowing their heads and bypassing Xiao Hua and Yuan Zai, who were still standing in front of the door. Xiao Hua hesitated for a moment, ready to turn around and leave, but Yuan Zai's eyes were eager to try.

The Qingli woman bowed to the two of them and said, "Are the two of them Xiao Enke and Yuan Enke?" My host has a banquet in the building, and the guests are invited to come with me. ”

The two looked at each other, and followed the woman into the courtyard of the Muzhuang Pavilion. The courtyard occupies a large area, in an irregular hexagonal shape, surrounded by a circle of inverted pavilions and courtyard walls, there is a pool of clear water in the center, and even the sound of flowing water murmuring, and the opposite side of the pond is the main building of the Muzhuang Pavilion. At this moment, there is a faint song in the pavilion, and the singing voice like a smoke voice is like crying and complaining, and it is really not seen that anyone has heard its voice. The singer in the pavilion should sing Wang Wei's Weicheng song, although there are only four lines of poetry, but it is sung with a very layered sense, and Yuan Zai is a little stupid.

The woman turned around and peeked at the expressions of the two, leaving a hint of frivolity in the corner of her eyes, and stretched out her hand to point to the stone arch bridge flying across the pond and said, "Two please." ”

Xiao Hua freed his ears from his voice and asked the woman in a low voice, "I heard that your owner is the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce?" ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, then covered her mouth and smiled: "Benefactor, you look down on us, the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce is high up to us, like the sky, how dare we have such a host?" ”

When they came to the next door, a calm man's voice immediately came from inside: "Mrs. Wei, but the two distinguished guests have arrived?" ”

"Whoa." Wei Niangzi bowed through the window sash and opened the sash with both hands.

The head of the younger generation of the Zhang family in Dunhuang stood in the door with a tail in hand, dressed in white clothes and graceful, and said with a sense of courtesy in his laughter: "I can look forward to the two sages coming to the banquet, Zhang Kuo is really bright." ”

Xiao Hua replied: "Brother Zhang is a Dunhuang family, how dare we not give you this face." ”

"Haha, take a seat."

Yuan Zai does not have the same social connections as Xiao Hua, and he only knows that this smiling Zhang Kuo is a local snake. No, the head snake is not enough to explain the power of the Zhang clan in Hexi, they are the dragon entrenched in Dunhuang. Can these two dragons fight like this tonight?

The two were invited to their seats, and immediately two beautiful women with tulle on their shoulders sat beside them with wine bottles in their hands, and poured wine for the two with a smile on their lips.

Zhang Kuo smiled and introduced: "The two of you are blessed today, you can know who the two beauties who accompany you are, they are the two of the four unique weeping moon squares in Hexi, the singer Qingyun, the dancing girl Huayue, the song and dance are even more beautiful in the world!" They admired the talents of the two officials, so they recommended themselves to come, and the two of them should not live up to the beauties. ”

Yuan Zai lowered his head to see, Qing Yun held the wine cup in both hands and handed it to him, her delicate face was like a blooming white peony, and the woman lowered her brows shyly.

He grabbed Qingyun's Qianqiansu hand, causing the wine cup she was holding to sway and splash on the back of her white hand.

Yuan Zai took the opportunity to bite the wine cup, raised his head and poured the wine into his throat, and even dragged the back of her hand over again, sucking the wine on it, making the back of Qingyun's hand tremble and quickly retract.

Xiao Hua was sitting on the sidelines, indifferent to the persuasion of the beauties around him, not only because of his high moral level, but also because the beauty of the concubines in his family was on par with Hua Yue in front of him, so his immunity was quite high.

So when his eyes noticed Yuan Zai next to him, his expression showed contempt and helplessness, this is simply a walking ** person, knowing that this is a beauty trick performed by the Western Regions Chamber of Commerce, but his eyes are still full of peach blossoms.

He coughed heavily to remind Yuan Zai, this Yan Sizhi sensed it, and hurriedly sat upright, his demeanor was much more restrained.

Zhang Kuo sat on the main seat, taking in the small emotions and small movements of the two of them, and he already knew it in his heart.

He raised the wine cup and toasted to the two of them: "Come, Xu Guogong, Yuan Sizhi, please drink this cup." ”

"Okay, okay." Yuan Zai's heart was ape, holding the wine cup in both hands and tilting his head into his throat, Xiao Hua raised his sleeve to block the wine cup, and also raised his head to drink.

The beauty Hua Yue shook the light veil, revealing her round and white shoulders, and then picked up the wine bottle and poured wine into Xiao Hua's wine cup, but he stretched out his palm and held it down. This Xiao Lang did not squint, even if the beauty was on the side, he did not have half a greedy color, and said to Zhang Kuo: "Brother Zhang, you invited the two of us to come here today, it should not only be to invite us to drink, there must be other teachings, it is better to say it quickly." ”
