Great Zhou Empire Chapter 123 Warm Wine and Pleasure
Luoyang, the capital of the gods, the mansion of the Duke of Lu.
On this day of the twenty-third day of the lunar month, this dynasty is not a small year, held a grand "Zhou Le" event, the guests come and go in an endless stream, in addition to the young talents in the gate, there are also the elders of the clan, Zheng Yuanyu of the Zheng family and his daughter Zheng Xiaofeng, nephew Zheng Cheng also entered the Lu State Mansion.
Jin Di hid in the crowd and saw the little grandfather who greeted the guests at the door of the Lu Guogong Mansion, constantly saluting and greeting each other with a smile, like a humble gentleman.
Jiang Mo also arrived with Qin Mu and Divine Doctor Xue, and when he saw Lu Lingfeng, the little grandfather of the Lu State Mansion, he also made a gesture and handed over the invitation.
Lu Lingfeng didn't know most people, and greeted the guests at his father's request, but glanced at the invitation disapprovingly, ready to return it to Jiang Moshi. Suddenly paused, and reopened the invitation, Zheng Yuanyu, the squire of the military department, specially invited Jiang Mo to participate in the "Zhou Le" event...
"Jiang Mo?" Lu Lingfeng raised his head and looked at Jiang Mo suspiciously, "Your name is Jiang Mo, how did I hear that the prince of Qi also seems to be called Jiang Mo?" ”
Lu Lingfeng was a little stunned, as if he was asking the attendants beside him.
Jiang Mo smiled slightly, "It's exactly below!" ”
Lu Lingfeng frowned instantly, and scolded in a low voice: "You'd better go away, you're not welcome here!" ”
Jiang Mo smiled kindly and pointed to the invitation, "I came by invitation!" ”
Lu Lingfeng immediately pulled out a machete from one of the guards and pointed it directly at Jiang Mo, "Get out!" Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude! ”
Jiang Mo was actually a little puzzled, "What is the little grandfather angry about?" ”
"You still have the face to say, the sorrow of the destruction of the country of Lu!" Lu Lingfeng slashed directly, and Qin Mu protected Jiang Mo with his scabbard.
The sound of shouts and metal clashing caused quite a commotion.
"Give it to me, kill Jiang Mo for me!" Lu Lingfeng is swinging a knife again, obviously practicing fist and foot kung fu.
Jiang Mo rubbed his head, "Why can't you change your name?" ”
completely ignored the fight between Qin Mu and Lu Lingfeng, and walked directly into the Lu State Mansion.
Several guards fought with Qin Musi at the instigation of Lu Lingfeng, and when Lu Lingfeng saw Jiang Mo entering the mansion, he immediately rushed over with a knife.
"Stop" Lu Guogong Lu Fuguo suddenly appeared to stop, his two beards and chubby figure made him look a little majestic, and he reprimanded his son when he went up: "You rebel, what day is today, are you so nonsense?" ”
Although he taught his son a lesson, he didn't apologize to Jiang Mo or guide the progress.
Jiang Mo respectfully bowed to Lu Fuguo for a long time, and did not stop reprimanding his son.
After the reprimand, he took his son to the door and apologized and saluted the rest of the guests.
Until, the emperor's grandson Ji Wuchi appeared, he swaggered out of the mansion, "I just heard that there is a weapon fight at the door, hehe, I didn't expect it to be you!" ”
Jiang Mo smiled awkwardly.
The Lu State Mansion is a standard Eastern Zhou Dynasty building, similar to the Lu State Palace in Qufu.
The shadow wall in front of the gate blocks the atmospheric doorway, and the doorway is lined with gatehouses, and after entering, there is a huge middle courtyard. Just enter the right side of the middle courtyard and there is the ancestral hall of Lu Guogong.
The road in front of Jiang Mo is like a square, there are fish ponds on both sides called Zhaoyue Lake, there are corridors by the fish ponds, and on the other side of the corridor are the east and west wings.
There is also a larger pavilion in front, called the Cloister Pavilion, and there are several steps and a stage in front of the Cloister Pavilion, and the stage is full of large musical instruments such as chimes, braids, county drums, and pianos.
The cloister pavilion has gathered a lot of people, and there are many square couches and tables, which seem to allow students to sit there, and the scale is enough to have one or two hundred low tables.
Further on, there are three steps, and a high front hall, and behind the front hall is the back yard.
The entire Luguo Mansion is square, and the scale is not small, it is estimated that there are tens of thousands of square meters, or even 20,000 square meters, almost the same as the original Qufu Palace, and it is such a large scale to hold such a grand event.
After welcoming all the guests to their seats, it was already noon, and although it was a sunny day and the sun was shining, it was not too warm.
The middle of the cloister pavilion is separated by a light veil separating men and women.
Jiang Mo and Ji Wuchi sat together in the front two positions near the light yarn, and Ji Wuchi kept looking at the woman's side, searching for Zheng Xiaofeng's figure.
However, Jiang Mo noticed that there were many eyes on the noble lady's side who paid special attention to Ji Wuchi, and Jiang Mo even heard sporadic whispers talking about the son here.
Of course, Jiang Mo is the most talked about on the side of Gongzi, among which Li Cong and Wang Yiming, young talents of the Li family and the Wang family.
Li Cong is not tall and not handsome in appearance, he is somewhat similar to Sun Liang's appearance, but he is more serious than Sun Liang: "Qi Shizi actually came to participate in such a solemn event, I'm afraid even Zhou Le can't understand it, right?" ”
Wang Yiming is in his twenties, handsome, and a little frivolous in his speech: "Hey, don't underestimate people, they are frequent visitors to the Qinglou, it's not that they copied a poem out of nowhere and spread it."
Naturally, there were also ridicules from other nobles: "I don't know why I broke into the Luguo Mansion and fought with the little grandfather" "I may not have seen the world, I want to take a look"
"What about you?" Ji Wuchi was also laughing at Jiang Mo, but Jiang Mo didn't care.
"Wow" A few crisp sounds made everyone slowly quiet down.
"You are all young talents or beauties of the Great Zhou, it is the month of Layue or not far away, or not afraid of the cold wind, appreciate the face of the Duke of Lu to enjoy the "Zhou Le", the Duke hereby thanked you" Lu Fuguo said some high-sounding polite words sonorously, and then saluted.
Then he introduced the old man Yan Shenggong and several officials of Guozijian one by one.
"Without further ado, let's get started!" After Lu Fuguo finished speaking, he got off the stage and sat down, and then the musician came to the stage to play.
All the young talents sat solemnly watching the stage performance, only Jiang Mo and Ji Wuchi were quite casual, and even the fruit bowl and wine that had just come up began to eat, drink and chat.
I just remembered the music, but I hadn't sung it yet.
Ji Wuchi replied: "I know this, the two articles of "Zhou Nan" and "Zhao Nan" in the "Book of Songs", which can also be regarded as the opening words of the "Book of Songs"..."
This kind of light music in ancient times was too soothing, and although Jiang Mo thought it was novel and good at first, it made people sleepy after a long time.
Ji Wuchi yawned unconsciously, "It's really boring."
But the children of the scholar clan led by Li Cong sometimes lowered their eyebrows and pondered, and sometimes they hit lightly, as if they were fascinated by listening.
The two unconsciously leaned together and nodded, like sleepy students in class, wanting to sleep on their stomachs but didn't dare.
Lu Guogong suddenly called Jiang Mo's name, "Jiang Qi Shizi? Jiang Mo"
Jiang Mo was like a named student, and immediately stood up, causing the audience to laugh.
Lu Guogong seemed to deliberately want to make a fool of Jiang Mo, so he asked: "Jiang Shizi came from afar, I don't know if you have heard of Zhou Le?" How about the music in this opening chapter? ”
