Chapter 42: Watching the Bright Moon Upstairs (Part II)
The guests sitting on the second floor watched Zhao Xiong kindly pull a young and handsome boy upstairs, and they all stood up and bowed.
Zhao Xiong pointed at Li Bad at the full audience and said loudly: "Today, the prince of this world is holding a banquet in Mingyue Tower to invite you, just to introduce you to the distant cousin of this prince who has not seen you for many years. ”
Everyone present was stunned when they heard Zhao Xiong's opening, thinking that this title was chic, they hadn't seen each other for many years, distant relatives, cousin?
Although this Mingyue Building is not bad, but it has always been a restaurant dedicated to dignitaries and nobles, not just a person with a little silver can come in, a few days ago, there was not a rich businessman who heard that it was from Jiangnan, was blocked at the door, let him take out a lot of silver tickets, but the restaurant guy didn't look at it, directly took a stick, and beat the copper-smelling rich businessman out of the door, provoking the rich businessman to shout to let Mingyue Lou close the door, but then it was gone, and even the rich businessman didn't know where to go the next day.
Those who don't know Li Bad's origin are full of questions in their hearts, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this little prince?
And those who know Li Bad's identity are also hesitant at this time, Huainan Wangfu and King Wu have always been on the wrong path, especially in recent years, after King Wu half rushed to include Huaizhou in the north, he was even more in the same water and fire as the northern terrain, and he didn't dare to go forward for a while.
As soon as Zhao Xiong saw these arrogant and domineering children of the family who were usually in Hu Tianhai and Haiti, he pondered motionlessly at this time, and suddenly said with a displeased face: "What? Is it because this son of the world Huashuo doesn't understand, or do you not hear clearly?"
Seeing the little prince speak, everyone hurriedly stepped forward, but Zhao Xiong's unclear introduction is better than not to introduce, and he doesn't even have a name, how to speak? What does this little prince mean?
Li Bad smiled indifferently, arched his hand to the surroundings, and said with a smile: "My surname is Li, and my single name is a bad word, and I am fortunate to have met all of you." ”
Everyone saluted and greeted one after another, and for a while, the names of the governors, captains, and generals sounded one after another, and Li was dizzy when he heard it.
Until Zhao Xiong pulled Li Bad to sit, Li Bad didn't remember the names of these children of the family, Murong Lin, who was sitting behind him, pulled Li Bad's sleeve and whispered: "I see that everyone here is not small, what does Zhao Xiong mean by arranging this meeting?"
Li Bad glanced at Zhao Xiong, who was sitting on the upper seat, and turned around and said: "It's nothing more than those things that are jealous of the sons of the family, with my years of experience in the major famous buildings and gardens in the north, this kid will later designate to find a stunning beauty, coincidentally, this beauty is still in love with me at a glance, just here are these perennial mixed flowers, self-proclaimed and suave family children, there can always be so many wine bags and rice bags who don't know who I am, next, don't need me to say, right?"
Murong Lin glanced around with disdain, then looked at Li Bad, and said with a smile: "It seems that after I left Beizhou, you were not idle, do you want to come to Beizhou and those Qinglou flower girls know the name of your little prince of the Li family?"
Li Bad raised his eyebrows proudly, and before he could speak, there was a sharp pain in the soft flesh on his waist, and he immediately glared at Murong Lin with bared teeth, and grabbed the small hand that was working on his waist, and Murong Qing, who was grabbed in front of everyone, broke away from Li Bad's hand with a flushed face, glanced at Li Bad hatefully, and lowered his head.
Li Bad looked at Murong Lin, who was gloating on the side, and rubbed his waist helplessly.
Zhao Xiong, who was sitting on the main seat, squinted at Li Bad's side, waved his hand at the entourage beside him, and the entourage bowed down and walked out of the wing.
Not long after, a group of singers and dancers walked in, the leading woman was graceful, her hair was dyed with green silk and ink, like a waterfall hanging down from her waist, her face was white, her eyes were willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, her skin was like cream, she was very beautiful, her eyes were sparkling, and she swept around slightly.
Li Bad's eyes were in a trance for a while, as soon as Zhao Xiong came in from this woman, he paid attention to Li Bad's expression, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, this woman who has been hiding in the palace, don't say that no matter how big the status of the distinguished guest on weekdays, it is Zhao Ying who occasionally comes to see it, Zhao Xiong pushes and refuses to agree, and now he actually wants to be cheap Li Bad, and his eyes are full of unwillingness.
The unwillingness in his eyes just flashed, so he nodded slightly to the woman in the field, stretched out his hand Qin Le suddenly sounded, and the woman just glanced at the movements of the pianist, and began to dance.
The beauty in the field danced, Luan Hui Fengzhu, graceful, behind the sound of the piano lingering, euphemistic and continuous, for a time there was still a little noisy wing room suddenly only left the light song and dance, the guests in the field were all stunned to look at the woman's graceful dancing, and the unbearable people have been dull-eyed, fluttering like a fairy.
Li Bad was just in a trance, then he covered his waist with both hands, and cautiously turned his head to look at Murong Qing, seeing Murong Qing looking at him with a smile, Li Bad suddenly sat upright, looking at the field with serious eyes, it seemed that there was no woman dancing on the field, it was more like a gentleman teaching the scholars on the stage, Murong Qing behind him saw Li Bad's appearance, snorted, and hurriedly covered his mouth, and snorted softly.
Li Bad, who was pricking up his ears, heard this small humming that was almost inaudible, and his body immediately straightened up, he knew that he didn't bring her here, he made a mistake, he made a mistake, he just didn't know, Zhao Xiong's face was painful, if the meat bun hit the dog in the end, no, it was a bamboo basket to draw water, wouldn't it become an expression of wanting to cry without tears? But the sound of the piano is good, think about it, since listening to Chen Bao'er's fateful part, no matter who listens to it, I feel that the aftersound is lingering, melodious and pleasant, will Qing'er play the piano? If she will, when she returns to the Northland, she will exchange the fast snow knife that Bao'er has always wanted for her guqin, and give it to Qing'er, one to play the piano and one to dance the knife, which is a good idea.
It wasn't until the end of the dance that Li Bad came back to his senses from the messy thoughts, and looked around, those children of the family known as the sorghum were all dull, their eyes were distracted, and they looked at the women in the field unsteadily, Li Bad shook his head, glanced at Zhao Xiong, and saw that the little prince had his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking, and his eyes turned left and right.
"Wonderful, wonderful, it's really 'bent waist suspiciously folded, ragged sleeves want to fly', good dance and good music!"
An inopportune sigh came out, and the gentlemen, who were still stunned, suddenly glared angrily at the place where they came out, and looked at Li Bad viciously.
Li Bad, who received many ill-intentioned glances in an instant, touched his nose in embarrassment, picked up the wine glass, saluted around, and drank it up.
Zhao Xiong looked at Li Bad with great interest, and asked with a smile: "Little Bad, the beauty in the field is named Mingyue, but I flew a lot of thought to collect the peerless dancer, how does Little Bad look at it?" If he knew that he had endured all this arrangement, but Li Bad didn't look at the graceful woman's dancing posture at all, Zhao Xiong was afraid that it was really as Li Bad thought, and he wanted to cry without tears.
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar, Li Bad only then understood, Liu Mingyue, the fourth of the seven beauties, was originally the daughter of the Liu family of Eastern Wu, when Li Ting broke through the gate of the Eastern Wu family, including the Emperor of Eastern Wu, the whole country surrendered, only the Liu family, whether old or young, all the men were standing in the imperial city with knives, until the last Liu family son died in battle, never surrendered, and then slaughtered the imperial city Li Ting immediately promised to let go of the Liu family's daughters, but after Li Ting left, the only remaining female dependents of the Liu family drew their knives and killed themselves, leaving only Liu Mingyue who was still in infancy, and later Liu Mingyue, who grew up in the teaching workshop, went all the way, and finally somehow got into the hands of Zhao Xiong, it is unknown。
As the saying goes, no matter how good the jade is, there will be flaws, and Liu Mingyue, who was rated as one of the seven beauties by the world and ranked fourth, cannot escape this theorem, that is, Liu Mingyue was born deaf in both ears and is deaf.
This is also the reason why Liu Mingyue is on the list, but she rarely shows people.
Zhao Xiong, who didn't wait for Li Bad's answer, didn't care, looked around, and said with a smile: "Today, the prince of this world is happy, Mingyue looks at the guests in the field, if you like anyone, you will go to whom, if this person is willing, this prince will allow Mingyue to leave the palace and invest in that person?"
As soon as Zhao Xiong spoke, the eyes of the whole audience looked at Liu Mingyue fieryly, and the greed in his eyes was revealed, all eager for Liu Mingyue to go to him.
The attendant on her side made a few gestures at Liu Mingyue, Liu Mingyue raised her fair chin slightly, looked around slightly, and walked straight to Li Bad, and Shi Shiran sat beside Li Bad.
Feeling the jealousy, anger, or confused eyes coming from all around, Li Bad turned his head and cast a "I didn't say wrong" look at Murong Lin, then looked at Zhao Xiong, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Xiong'er is like this, he really pushed the little brother into the fire, everyone here is a famous family, how can the little brother be virtuous, can he accept this beauty, or ask Brother Xiong'er to take back his life?"
Zhao Xiong waved his hand casually and said: "Little bad doesn't need to be arrogant, since I said it, I should be counted, since Mingyue chose you, then you should be able to bear it." He looked around again and said: "This son of the world has always been a good talker, if any of you here has the ability to make Mingyue look at it differently, and this son of the world will also follow Mingyue's original intentions and never go back on his word, what do you think?"
The originally disappointed expressions of the guests present suddenly ignited again, and they all looked at Mingyue eagerly.
Li Bad sneered in his heart, how can these tricks played by the south are all leftovers from the north, is it because he is comfortable all the year round and does not want to make progress, and his head is empty, and only the words in the crotch of his pants are left? There is no novelty at all, Lao Tzu doesn't accompany you to play these tricks, and there is no technical work at all.
Li Bad, who was still thinking about getting out here, hadn't opened his mouth yet, but he stood up and looked at Li Bad and said, "Li Gongzi, under Yan Weiding, dare to ask Li Gongzi, how is Li Gongzi?"
