Chapter 59: The Night Banquet II

The alcohol content was very low, and Shao Xun drank several glasses, still sitting there very sober, leisurely watching the music and dance.

The slaves and maids of the prince's palace are generally hired by the hostess to train them. The hostess from a large family is proficient in music and dance, and when the interest comes, she will also personally train her to ensure perfection.

The high door and noble are in need of pomp.

The female musicians and dancing girls who entertain guests are an important part of the pomp.

If the status of the guest is very high, the host will sometimes take his concubine out to accompany the guest as a sign of respect. This may be one of the reasons why concubines are not very popular with children, because sometimes it is really unsure whether it is the master's child who is born.

These dancing girls in front of him were probably purchased by Sima Yue in Luoyang - yes, just like buying furniture, buying dancing girls.

And the process of purchasing is also very simple.

In the Wei and Jin dynasties, there was a large-scale practice of acquiring slaves, there were official slaves in the imperial court, and private slaves were private slaves, and the sources were probably captives, sinners and even self-sellers.

In particular, self-selling has become the mainstream at this stage.

Wars are frequent, floods and droughts are constant, and as early as a dozen years ago, the number of bankruptcies of yeoman farmers began to increase. In order to avoid taxes and military service, some of them sold their whole families into slavery, and some of them were better attached to the big families, becoming tribesmen, villagers, and de facto serfs.

Of course, private slave hunting should not be overlooked. As an "organic supplement" to the slave market, this area was very active, and officials even secretly found people to catch and sell slaves to earn money, and Shile was once put in a flail and sold to Shandong as a slave and became a slave in the big estate.

Under the farm economy, isn't it just slaves and tribes everywhere?

The current Great Jin Dynasty is already a semi-slave society.

Shao Xun used to be a military household, strictly speaking, he was a tuntian serf, and he had to fight part-time. In the eyes of scholars, isn't it similar to ants?

Therefore, he was able to show filial piety and honesty, from a "slave" to a "slave owner", and completed the qualitative change across classes.

The music gradually turned cheerful, attracting Shao Xun's attention.

The dancers move unrestrained and smooth, as if flying.

They spread out, like a cheerful bird, waving their clothes in front of the guests, pitching and stretching, and their posture graceful.

The guests drank more, pointed and laughed one by one.

Looking at the appearance of those old critics, most of them are judging the dancing girl and want to try it - this is not impossible, and the dancing girl is often used to entertain guests, depending on whether your identity is enough.

At this time, a dancing girl jumped in front of Shao Xun's case.

For a while, she was gentle and feminine, as cute as a bird, her clothes almost brushed his face, and the plump XX slowly passed by him like a slow motion.

The action is carefully designed, what angle, speed, are exquisite, coupled with the demeanor, absolutely give you an excellent visual enjoyment.

After a while, it drifted away, like an eagle that was unwilling to be restrained soaring into the sky, with a noble posture, like a saint.

If you are attending this kind of banquet for the first time, have not experienced a battle, and have drunk alcohol, it is possible to scratch your ears and cheeks at this time, and subconsciously reach out to keep it, then it will be ugly.

After Shao Xun sat down at the case, his face didn't even change much.

The real person is certainly different from the teacher in the hard drive, and the temptation is much greater, but his threshold is a bit high.

Ordinary women can't tempt him or stimulate him anymore.

He still remembers the scene of squatting behind Yang Xianrong on the day Sima Yi was captured.

It's the ultimate pleasure, even if it's just a little bit of a lucid thought in your head.

If you can really get the queen of the world, and even let this most noble woman in the world give birth to herself, it is a pleasure from the soul.

In short, he is perverted.

Small battles, ineffective against him.

"What is this dance?" Shao Xun turned his head and asked Pei Kuo.

"鸲鹆 (qú yù) dance." Pei Kuo said: "Both men and women can jump. But today's dance is carefully choreographed, I don't know who made it, it's a bit interesting. ”

It turned out to be adapted? Shao Xun nodded, could it be from the princess? If it's true, then she's so lonely......

A scholar sitting at the head of Shao Xun heard this, smiled, and looked at Shao Xun with a lot of scrutiny.

Shao Xun glanced at him, his face unchanged.

You sit down at the bottom of me, and you're almost in line at the door, your status is lower than mine, what are you pretending?

At the end of the dance, the dancers each picked one person to persuade them to drink.

They had just finished dancing, their chests were panting rapidly, and with their soft voices, there was a different seductive taste. Take this to test the cadres, it is indeed possible!

"Gentlemen." Sima Yue stood up, raised the wine bottle from afar, and said with a smile: "Sima Yi is captured, foreign soldiers are about to enter the city, we have to unite sincerely, don't let outsiders take advantage." ”

Sikong "offers" wine, and everyone naturally wants to give face.

So Gou Xi took the lead in standing up and said loudly: "Obey Sikong's orders." ”

After all, drink it all, this is "sorrel", also known as "returning the wine".

After Gou Xi took the lead, the others also got up one after another, drank the wine in the glass, and said in unison: "Obey Sikong's orders." ”

Sima Yue laughed, looking cheerful.

He also had the wine poured to his heart's content.

This is the "reward wine", he drinks it, and the guests are free.

After the dedication, sorrel, and reward were over, Sima Yue temporarily left the table, and then it was free time.

Everyone sat down and laughed with the dancing girl beside them.

"Why does the general only care about eating meat?" Mai Ji finished pouring her wine and asked quietly.

"It's rare to eat meat, and I can't care about anything else." Shao Xun smiled: "What is this, it tastes good." ”

The dancing girl covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "This is the deer tail in Yezhong, there should not be much left in the city." ”

"Where's this?"

"Muddy sheep."

Shao Xun looked at the sheep in front of him and sighed with emotion.

Put the goose in the sheep, the five flavors of the real japonica rice, fully cooked, has always been the "private dish" of the princes and nobles.

Xuan remembered the current situation of food shortage in the city, and couldn't help but be speechless.

The people were short of food, the soldiers reduced their rations, but the princes and nobles were still eating and drinking. Previously, Sima Yi ordered the forcible requisition of the minister's grain stockpile, not for no reason, because they even had surplus grain to feed their livestock for their own meat.

What a huge difference between people!

Rising up a class is a completely different world.

Deer tails, muddy sheep, fine wine, dancing girls, female music, etc., this is something that can only be enjoyed by the upper class. If an ordinary person takes shit and gets into this class, it probably won't take long for him to be corrupted, right?

Shao Xun also likes fine wine, food, and beautiful people, but he feels that the current social status quo is not enough to support him and his children and grandchildren to live such a prosperous life for a long time.

The Western Jin Dynasty society, with large landlords and a large manor system, has been proven by history to be a failure, and was eventually replaced by a new force of small landlords and small manor systems.

Compared with the relatively stable Southern Dynasties, the Northern Dynasties have been undergoing drastic changes.

In the end, the Northern Zhou, which carried out a relatively thorough reform of slavery and implemented the military merit system of small landlords, defeated the incomplete reform of the Northern Qi and unified the north.

Reform is a must!

Shao Xun once again strengthened his thoughts.

He did as much as he could, until the day he died. If there is an unfinished task, leave it to the next generation to continue.

This is the direction of historical development, and it is not subject to anyone's will, even if the new monarch still likes Wei and Jin, he can't turn back.

People cannot stand on the opposite side of the tide of history, otherwise they will be crushed to pieces.

"Where are you from?" Shao Xun asked.

Maihime laughed again.

The other sisters were already out of breath, but this official was quite serious, and he actually had the leisure to talk to him about other things.

Shao Xun guessed what she meant, and smiled without saying a word.

Drinking while touching, there will be similar occasions in later generations, isn't it a business KTV?

"Private room manager" Pei Sixteen passed by outside just now, and Shao Xun didn't want to let go of the wreckage and leave a bad impression.

"The concubine is from Bingzhou." Maihime replied.

"What is the situation of the Xiongnu in Bingzhou?" Shao Xun asked.

Maihime was stunned.

Pei Kuo laughed on the side and said, "If you ask her about music and dance, can you still reply a few words, and ask the Huns if they don't ask for fish in Yuanmu?" ”

Shao Xun smiled and didn't say anything.

After a while, Pei Sixteen passed by again and glanced at Shao Xun.

Shao Xun'an sat for a while, got up after a while, excused himself to go to the toilet, and walked out of the main hall.

"The king of Chengdu is coming to Luoyang." Pei Sixteen said quickly.

"How did he come?" Shao Xun was stunned.

"It's just a trip, and I'll be back to Yecheng soon." Pei Sixteen said: "The news is reliable. ”

"Thank you, Princess, for mentioning." Shao Xun bowed and said.

Pei Sixteen nodded, and soon disappeared into the night.

"It's a ghost." Shao Xun scolded in a low voice and shook his head helplessly.

If Sima Ying came in person, the eunuch Meng Jiu would definitely accompany him to serve. Some things are going to be complicated again.

But—whatever! Can a living person suffocate urine?

With Sima Yue's attitude towards him, it is not a big problem, but he just needs to be careful, which can be seen from the princess's attitude.
