Chapter 18: The Celebration Banquet
Here, Long Si took someone straight to the executive's residence and took it in one fell swoop when he was unprepared. took advantage of the fact that the other party was unaware, and immediately tortured the executives, and this operation finally made a major breakthrough. went all the way down the vine, and in one afternoon, the dark lines of the old prince in Yangzhou City were cleaned.
Emperor Longhui Longxin Dayue, the biggest goal of this southbound trip has been basically completed.
Lin Ruhai saw that Emperor Long Hui was in a good mood, and proposed to hold the banquet that was not held at noon in the evening. Emperor Long Hui nodded and readily agreed. And asked to open a few more tables outside for the guards and retinue brought this time. It's a celebration feast.
Shen Xiaoxiao came out after taking a lunch break, of course, saying that it was a lunch break was actually cultivation. Seeing the pomegranate, he said, "Girl, Mrs. Lin sent someone to inform." The banquet that did not take place at noon was opened in the evening, so that the girl was ready to go to Shaohuayuan and set off with Mrs. Lin. ”
There's a banquet at night! Isn't it possible to see him again? Somehow, Shen Xiaoxiao felt his heart beat faster in an instant, and he reached out and touched his face, and his face was a little hot. Shen Xiaoxiao patted his face lightly with both hands and said to himself in his heart: Be sober, this is too illusory for you to take seriously. You have to treat him as a character in the game.
Shen Xiaoxiao did a mental construction for herself, and her accelerated beating heart slowly returned to normal speed, and her hot cheeks quickly cooled down. Thinking that after all, it was a banquet or to dress up, and instructed Pomegranate to prepare bath water and choose the clothes and head jewelry to wear tonight.
After a moment of chaos, Shen Xiaoxiao finally took on a new look and reached a new height of beauty. In fact, the main reason is that Shen Xiaoxiao is usually used to being casual, and it is almost impossible to dress up like this.
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at himself in the mirror, and for a moment he was in a trance, and his current appearance seemed to have some of his previous self. In fact, Shen Xiaoxiao didn't know that when the soul and the body were completely fused, the appearance of the soul and the body would also merge with each other, you have me, I have you. For example, Jia Yuanchun is apricot eyes, while Shen Xiaoxiao is Danfeng eyes. In the end, it was Jia Yuanchun's apricot eyes that elongated, which made the bright apricot eyes a little charming. Indescribably attractive.
"Girl, it's almost time, it's time to go to Shaohuayuan, otherwise let Mrs. Lin wait. Pomegranate reminded aloud.
After being reminded by Pomegranate, Shen Xiaoxiao stopped looking at the mirror, stood up and walked in the direction of the room door and asked, "Baoyu and Daiyu should have arrived at Shaohuayuan, right?"
"Young Master, they have already passed, just wait for us. Pomegranate replied.
Hearing this, Shen Xiaoxiao stopped talking and took the lead towards Shaohuayuan.
The banquet was set up in the living room, which was tidyed up, and a large open space was exposed in the hall, and there were two tables of banquets in the middle, and a floor-to-ceiling screen was placed in the middle of the two banquets for shelter. There is a guqin in front of the two banquets, and a pipa is placed on the side. There were also more than a dozen tables of banquets outside the hall, which were prepared for the people brought by Emperor Long Hui
Lin Ruhai personally led Emperor Long Hui to the hall, at this time the hall was already full of people, everyone gave Emperor Long Hui a salute, Lin Ruhai invited Emperor Long Hui to sit down, and Jia Min also took Shen Xiaoxiao and the two Yu'er to the other side of the screen.
"Okay, you can also go down and eat and drink! Emperor Long Hui said to the guards and entourage.
Lin Ruhai hurriedly summoned the steward to take them outside the hall to eat and drink.
The dishes have five flavors, and the wine has passed three rounds. Lin Ruhai got up and saluted Emperor Long Hui first and said: "For everyone's fun, our husband and wife are willing to play a song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" for everyone, which can be regarded as throwing bricks and attracting jade, I hope that after our husband and wife play, everyone can show their talents." ”
After Lin Ruhai finished speaking, he walked towards the location of the guqin and pipa, and Jia Min was already standing in place with the pipa in his hand and waiting.
Soon after, a beautiful and simple melody sounded, the pipa was melodicated, the guqin was soft like water, and the colorful playing skills of the two were naturally combined. It is like a moving long scroll landscape painting slowly unfolding in front of everyone's eyes. After the song, everyone was still immersed in the poetic music.
Shen Xiaoxiao was the first to applaud, followed by applause from the audience. Baoyu and Daiyu ran around Lin Ruhai and his wife, clapping and shouting, saying that they were so unhappy. The atmosphere of the audience reached a climax for a while.
Waiting for the applause to subside, Long Si stood up and said: "The host has set an example, how can we not say that the Xian couple gave us a song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night", then I will send the Xian couple a song "Plum Blossom Introduction". As he spoke, he pulled out a short, delicate jade flute from his sleeve.
A clear flute sounded, one called the moon, the sound into the Taixia, the second through the clouds, the sound into the clouds, the third across the river, and sighed across the river. The sound of the flute is sometimes solemn and deep, showing a picture of the withering of ten thousand trees in the cold winter wax moon, only the plum blossom iron bones are solemn, standing in the cold; sometimes concise, loose, soft and rigid in the song, outlining the scene of "the wind swings the plum blossoms, gently dancing the jade and turning the silver"; sometimes the melody falls and the rocks rise and fall, the big ups and downs, portrays the plum blossoms are not afraid of the cold wind, the attitude of swaying in the wind. So repeatedly, the ups and downs caused everyone to listen to it fascinated.
It wasn't until the flute stopped that everyone woke up from their addiction.
Emperor Long Hui couldn't help but nod and said: "Your flute has improved a lot, it seems that you have been deeply touched by this journey! ”
"I didn't expect the fourth master's flute to reach such a realm, and Lin had just bowed down. ”
"Don't dare to be it, Lord Lin's husband and wife's piano skills are not lagging behind, so let's not praise each other. I borrowed flowers to offer a handful of Buddha, and wanted to give Miss Jia a glass of wine, thanks to Miss Jia's help this time, otherwise things would not have gone so smoothly, and I would like to give Miss Jia a glass for my father. Ryusi raised his glass to the side of the screen and drank it down.
"I don't dare to get the fourth master like this, Baoyu's saving grace Yuanchun has not been reported, it should be Yuanchun to respect the fourth master with a cup, respect the fourth master. Saying that, Shen Xiaoxiao also drank it all.
Seeing Shen Xiaoxiao so quickly, Long Si hurriedly said, "No, that time was really a gesture." ”
The comings and goings of the two of them attracted Long Qi really couldn't help but speak: "You two don't want to thank you, the most important thing is to watch the performance, Miss Jia, don't you daughters know all about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and are proficient in everything? After speaking, he made a grimace at Long Si, causing Emperor Long Hui to pat Long Qi's head and say, "You still don't know your fourth brother's temper, dare to provoke him like this." Frightened, Long Qi shrank his neck, and quickly smiled at Long Si flatteringly!
And here, after listening to Long Qi's words, Shen Xiaoxiao said in his heart: Finally here, as early as when Lin Ruhai said that he wanted to throw bricks and lead jade, he knew that he couldn't hide. But piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Jia Yuanchun may be proficient, but he can't, even if he has Jia Yuan's memory, he has never actually operated it, it is completely impossible to use it on such an occasion, he still has to find another way, he can sing a few songs by himself, and he used to read novels at home with music. Jia Yuanchun's voice is not bad, and his usual voice is still a little magnetic.
Shen Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said: "In front of it, it is "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" and "Plum Blossom Introduction", and the skills are so good, I won't get an axe." This is the first time I have taken such a long boat from Beijing to Yangzhou, watching the boat come and go, the sail shadows, the sound of the trumpet, and the sunset in the east. Occasionally, I felt a song to fill in the lyrics, so let's sing a song today. After speaking, Shen Xiaoxiao casually took a pair of chopsticks from the table and sang to the beat.
The sea is smiling and surging on both sides of the tide, and the ups and downs are remembered with the waves.
The sky is laughing and the tide is in the world, and God knows who loses and who wins.
The rivers and mountains are smiling and the rain is far away, and the waves are sweeping away the red dust and how much do you know about the world.
The breeze is lonely, and there is still a night photo left of pride.
Cangtian is no longer lonely, and pride is still smiling infatuately.
Laa......
After singing a song, it was shocking to the heavens, and this song made everyone feel angry and unable to calm down for a long time. At this time, Shen Xiaoxiao's heroic spirit as a sports person was undoubtedly revealed. Even Emperor Long Hui stood up and praised: "Good songs, good words, Miss Jia was born as a woman and grew up in the deep boudoir, it is rare to have such a spirit." What's the name of this song!"
Shen Xiaoxiao replied: "Canghai laughed!"
"Well, even the name has achieved such a pride. I don't know if Miss would like to spread this song to the world. Emperor Long Hui asked again.
"Whatever you want. But please don't sign it," Shen Xiaoxiao replied.
So far, the banquet has been enjoyed by the guests and hosts.
