Xuanyuan Jingtian, the ancestor of the human race, had never been on a flower boat, and Yan Liyan had never found out that Xuanyuan Jingtian and the Daoist guarding the boundary had this idea, and thought in his heart, "He is worthy of being a master outside the world."

In the twentieth year of the emperor's opening, August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, this is the most lively mid-month song party in Liyan Hotel.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Gao Gong, the prime minister of the Great Sui, actually arrived at the Liyan Hotel.

Gao Gong (541 - August 27, 607), a famous prime minister and military adviser of the Sui Dynasty, was a real person. A Min, the word Zhaoxuan, Xianbei name Dugu Gong, a native of Bohai (now east of Jingxian County, Hebei), was an outstanding politician, strategist and military strategist in the Sui Dynasty.

Gao Gong was born in the Bohai Gao family, and his father Gao Bin was the wingman of Dugu Xin in Shangzhu State, and the official was the assassin of the history. When Yang Jian was the prime minister of Emperor Jing of Zhou, he knew that Gao Gong was shrewd and capable, knew military affairs, and had many strategies, so he appointed him as the secretary of the prime minister's office. Xiangzhou Governor Chi Hui rebelled, Gao Gong asked the generals to quell the rebellion, volunteered to go to the prison army, ordered people to build a bridge on the Qinshui River, and broke the Wei Chi Hui army. Seal the pillar country with merit, and promote the prime minister's house Sima. After Emperor Wen of Sui established the Sui Dynasty, Ren Shangshu left the servant to shoot and accept the words, and bowed to the general of the left guard. Emperor Wen of Sui had the ambition to unify the north and the south, and Gao Gong recommended He Ruobi and Han Baohu to serve as the governors of Wuzhou and Luzhou respectively to prepare for the destruction of Chen. In September of the first year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui (581), the Sui army of Sun Lan and Yuan Jingshan, the governor of Shangzhu of Jiedu, attacked Chen. In the spring of the second year, Emperor Chen Xuan died, and Chen sent an envoy to ask for peace, and then he was a teacher. For three years, he led the army to part ways with the generals to attack the Turks. For five years, he served as the general of the left leading army. In the seventh year, after the Sui Dynasty destroyed Houliang, he was ordered to go to Jiangling (now Jingsha, Hubei) to gather his remnants, and he won the people. Soon, he presented Chen Fangluo to Emperor Wen. In the eighth year of the emperor's reign (588), the Sui Dynasty took Yang Guang, the king of Jin, as the marshal to attack Nanchen, and served as the marshal Changshi, commanding the whole army to level Nanchen in one fell swoop. Later, because of his opposition to the abolition of the crown prince Yang Yong and offended Queen Dugu, he was suspicious of Emperor Wen of Sui, and was removed from the official position of the people, and soon after he was removed from the title of Duke of Qi. When Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, he was used as Taichangqing.

At this time, Gao Gong came out to relax. Why, because Emperor Wen of Sui wanted to depose the crown prince. Emperor Wen of Sui ordered that Tang Lingze, an official next to the crown prince, and several other people be handed over to the judge for interrogation, and ordered Yang Su to convey the prince's so-called ugly deeds to the courtiers one by one. Gao Gong objected, and he said to Emperor Wen of Sui: "The abolition of the crown prince is a major matter of the state, and once the edict is issued, it will be too late to regret it in the future." The slander is endless, please be aware of it, Your Majesty. Therefore, he offended the queen, and the queen blew the pillow wind, and was suspicious of Emperor Wen of Sui.

As soon as Gao Gong came, Yan Liyan personally greeted him, and Xuanyuan Jingtian and the Daoist who guarded the boundary also came out.

Yan Liyan led Gao Gong, Xuanyuan Jingtian and the Daoist of Shoujie into the Liyan Hotel.

Liyan Hotel is very elegantly arranged, the hall is hung with Yan family calligraphy and paintings, and there are many inscriptions of celebrities and scholars on the shadow wall. Even the beauties who greet guests are dignified and peugeot, and their manners are generous and polite.

Long Xiaotian came out of the lobby from afar.

Yan Liyan thought to himself, "Long Xiaotian is worthy of being a thousand-year-old goblin, he knows everything."

Gao Gong was very happy to see that the reception standard was so high, and his heart was swept away.

Long Xiaotian, who led the way, was not verbose, and as soon as he entered the door, he directly led the four flower boats of Shangchun Xiang to listen to the music.

Rows of plum and peach trees are planted on the shores of the lake, and many lanterns are hung on the trees. Illuminates this stretch of river. At this time, the plum blossoms have not yet bloomed. The plum trees are green and leafy, and the peach blossoms are about to pass their prime. If you want to be crippled, the tree is full of powder clusters with the wind and falling like rain. It is a clear night, the moon is in the sky, the moonlight is sprinkled on the water, the reflected moonlight is reflected with the stars and colored lights on the shore, a breeze blows, and there seems to be a chaotic jade in the water of the uncertain river.

The five of them boarded the bow of the boat, and there was a woman in pink with a double duck bun, bright eyes and beautiful face, and she saluted in front of the bead curtain: "Hello Manager Long, please say hello to the four!" ”

Long Xiaotian commanded, "Little girl." This is Young Master Yan Liyan, these are his distinguished guests, please serve Chunxiang well. ”

The woman turned to one side: "Yes, I'll tell Miss Chunxiang." ”

Yan Liyan praised Long Xiaotian in the back and said: "Manager Long's methods are really good, even a maid who welcomes guests has such a posture and appearance, what will Chunxiang look like?" This one on board whetted the appetite of the guests! Long Xiaotian smiled embarrassedly.

This flower boat is not small, there is a small vestibule, through the vestibule to the main hall. The main hall is very well arranged, and the ten seats are divided into three rows, left, middle and right, all facing a "stage" in the center. The position of the stage is not higher, on the contrary, it is one step lower than the seats of the others, and this design also inadvertently makes the guests feel comfortable.

There are two young women on the left and right sides of the stage, one plays the pipa and the other plays the guzheng.

A Taishi chair was placed in the cabin, and there was a high table in front of the Taishi chair, and the wine and food were placed on top of the high table. The eight seats on the left and right have already filled six seats.

There is a small golden bell tied to the beaded curtain of the hall door, and the curtain is lifted to make a pleasant sound, and the guests at the table look back. Immediately, someone got up and said, "Isn't this a tall man, you also came to the Peony Workshop?" ”

Gao Gong also smiled and replied, "I'm just here to admire your talents tonight." ”

Introduce each other to each other while talking and laughing. The four on the left are Chen Ziliang, Xue Daoheng, Wang Guan, and Du Yu. Among the four, Chen Ziliang was the youngest, and he looked only sixteen or seventeen years old, and Xue Daoheng was the oldest, sixty years old. Of the two people on the right, Yan Liyan is particularly familiar, and that is Zhu Bajie. Seeing Xuanyuan Jingtian, the Daoist of the Guardian Realm, and Yan Liyan, Zhu Bajie greeted him embarrassedly.

Only Xuanyuan Jingtian and the Guardian Daoist ignored the crowd, just sat there and looked at the back warehouse with an indifferent expression, as if their gaze could penetrate. While everyone was talking and laughing, the sound of the pipa and guzheng playing in front of the hall suddenly changed, and there was a high-pitched turn, attracting everyone's attention to the stage.

Before we met, there was a voice. - The guests have arrived, and Haruka has finally appeared!

The clothes worn by Chunxiang are mainly red and yellow, which further sets off her skin like snow and jade without a trace of flaws.

Haruka's clothes are strange, and she wears a sleeveless tight-fitting outfit. The left and right forearms wear silk bracers. The smooth upper arms and rounded shoulders are exposed, which is unusually sexy.

The lower body was actually a skirt, the hips and thighs were tightly wrapped, outlining the seductive curves, but below the calves were spread out into a pleated shape, like two slender honeysuckle.

She simply pulled up her long hair and inserted a hairpin diagonally, which was coiled into a very chic winged oblique bun. When she stood still, her facial features were like exquisite white jade statues, but as long as she smiled, she seemed to be alive.

As soon as Chunxiang appeared, she stood in the center of the stage and bowed to everyone, and said: "Today, the Prime Minister of the Great Sui, several famous poets, several masters, and the young master Liyan have all come to the little woman's painting boat, and Chunxiang is terrified. First of all, I will present a song to help you drink. ”

Seeing that Chunxiang was still greeting, Zhu Bashi said loudly: "Miss Chunxiang, it's not the first time I've come, you can toast everyone first, and then it's not too late to play the music." ”

Chunxiang smiled and nodded, came to the front of everyone, poured wine one by one, and the guests knelt straight from the mat to thank them. Xuanyuan Jingtian and the Daoist did not return the salute, but just picked up the cup and nodded slightly.

Over there, Chen Ziliang and the others saw these two such a shelf, Xuanyuan Jingtian and the boss of the Boundary Guarding Daoist were not small, why did they still do this kind of thing? They all looked at them with contempt, but Xuanyuan Jingtian and the Boundary Keeper turned a blind eye.

When Chunxiang came to Yan Liyan's side, everyone found that the eldest young master's mouth was open, and his eyes were staring directly at Chunxiang's face. Someone laughed secretly in their hearts, why is the young master of the Yan family so lustful, the Hongchen woman of his own family actually looked at it directly.

Zhu Bashi, who was sitting next to him, poked the young master with his elbow, and Yan Liyan came back to his senses and politely thanked him with a cup. At this time, I heard Xuanyuan Jingtian say a sentence from the sky: "Haven't you seen a goblin?" She's not human! …… Well, you should be able to see it, with her cultivation, she is too far away from you. ”

Yan Liyan replied: "I really didn't see it, I lost my mind for a while just now because she was like an old friend like me, Jin Xiangyu. After speaking, Yan Liyan released his divine sense to sense, and he really felt that Chunxiang was a little different.

Xuanyuan Jingtian didn't know which life Yan Liyan was talking about, and he didn't get to the bottom of it.

As they spoke, Haruka had already returned to the stage in the middle, and the maids on the left and right brought cushions and low tables, and Haruka sat down and toasted everyone first, then took out a lute and began to pluck the strings and sing: "It's like in the middle of the water." ……”

Except for Xuanyuan Jingtian and the Daoist who guarded the realm, the people present were fascinated by what they heard, and then looked at Zhu Bajie, he had already lifted his chopsticks and lightly hit the case. And Yan Liyan looked at Chunxiang, stunned and a little distracted, his reaction tonight was very wrong.

Before I knew it, I finished singing a song. The moon is full of moon outside the window of the flower boat, the waves on the water are trembling, and the lights on the shore reflect each other, and the afterglow of this song still seems to linger in the ears. Chunxiang spoke again: "The little woman just sang the Book of Songs. Celebrities are only eternal, spring fragrance is not talented, please leave poems for distinguished guests, and get good works to sing Chang'an in the future. ”

Chen Ziliang first said: "Miss Chunxiang invites wine with poems. I have to set a topic that fits the scenery, what is the topic of today's poetry? ”

Chunxiang waved her jade hand and pointed out to the outside of the flower boat: "It is based on the theme of falling shade on this shore, full of trees and lanterns, when the sky is bright and the moon is bright, and the water is broken." ”

Everyone agreed, since Chen Ziliang spoke first, let him make poems first. This kind of thing, the later you speak, the more advantageous it is, and the longer you think about it. Chen Ziliang didn't shirk either, and groaned with a cup-

"Gifted Prostitute"

There are many feasts in the Golden Valley, and the beauties are fragrant. The Liuxia mat is full, and the snow flies in the palm.

The bright moon is in the song fan, and the clouds are connected to the dance clothes. Why bother with peach and plum, don't wait for Chunhui.

"Good. Good. Good! Everyone applauded, and Chen Ziliang was also colorful.

However, Du Yu shouted loudly: "Punish drinking!" ”

This poem is very good, what kind of wine is fined? Everyone looked at Du Yu in confusion, and only listened to Du Yu say: "Brother Chen, although your poems are wonderful, I'm afraid they are not ready-made, right?" On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of this year, I heard you recite this poem. ”

It turned out that Chen Ziliang was reciting an old work, and it was exposed by an old friend on the spot, and others laughed, Chen Ziliang made a red face and drank three cups in a row.

The next to chant poetry is the inner history squire, plus the opening of the Fuyi and the three divisions Xue Daoheng, he groaned slightly, and his mouth became a poem-

Jingmen Linguyan. The degree of the Tao is profound. The moon is cold and suspicious of autumn nights. The mountains are cold and the summer frost falls. The sky is clear and twilight. The scenery is scattered. The sound of the water is noisy. The drum is noisy and Yuyang. Pondering. Look at the Fa Tian Zhang. Songdai is difficult to learn. The hills are self-reliant.

The poem is a good poem, but unfortunately it is a bit lonely.

......

Everyone chanted a poem, and Yan Liyan also casually said a poem, "The moonlight is the same color in the sky, and the eyes are different." Remembering Jin Xiangyu, I don't know where it is? ”。

What? A limerick poem. Penalty for drinking.

Zhu Bajie also chanted a poem: "Last year, yesterday in this village, Chang'e Jade Rabbit is wonderful." Chang'e didn't know where to go, and the Jade Rabbit was still smiling at the mountain wind. ”

Penalty for drinking.

Zhu Bajie also had to drink three bowls in a row.

Poetry is song and dance, and song and dance are over. A maid stepped forward and placed a gold plate beside each person's desk, and withdrew without saying a word. Everyone understands what this means, it's time to give a reward, twenty taels of silver is just the money for the ship, and the Liyan Hotel collects it, and now it is given to Chunxiang himself in the gold plate. It doesn't matter if you reward it or not, and you don't have to give money, Haruka didn't even ask for it.

But. Are you embarrassed not to appreciate it?

Yan Liyan didn't say a word. Reaching into his bosom, he took out a handful of pearls and placed them all on a gold plate. Not spilling but gently putting, lest it make too much noise. The one who rewards himself must be the first to take the lead.

Chunxiang is a person from Liyan Hotel, Yan Liyan is a young master, reward his own people, and it doesn't matter if he is generous.

The rest of the people also gave their own rewards, some of them kept gold ingots, and some of them kept pearls and jade. Xuanyuan Jingtian looked at Yan Liyan, and somewhere took out a ginseng and put it on the gold plate. The Daoist of the Boundary Gatekeeper looked at Xuanyuan Jingtian, smiled slightly, and put a golden whisk in his hand on the gold plate.

Yan Liyan felt that Chunxiang was a bit like Jin Xiangyu.

Maybe Jin Xiangyu is a descendant of Chunxiang, or maybe it is the reincarnation of Chunxiang, anyway, it's not clear.

Yan Liyan said, "Are you Jin Xiangyu? ”

Chunxiang was stunned when she heard this, and replied, "Young master, I'm not." ”

Yan Liyan said, "Jin Xiangyu is my junior sister, and when she ascended to the Heavenly Tribulation, Xiang Xiaoyu died."

What a pity. It's just that Haruka is a rabbit spirit, and it's true. ……

There was a man on the ship who had not made a sound, and no one dared to ask him to compose a poem or anything like that. He is Gao Gong, the prime minister of the Great Sui, and he has been quietly watching everyone's performances on the flower boat, without saying a word or composing poems. But what he had been communicating with Xuanyuan Jingtian with his divine sense, Yan Liyan didn't know.

Yan Liyan only knew that after Gao Gong went back, he would no longer participate in the deliberations, and kept saying that he was sick at home.
