Chapter 47: The same year will be the restaurant
Over there, Liu Yongzhang pointed to a few people around him, and said with a smile: "It's not a big deal, it's just that there is a common title in the current dynasty, why don't I get close to my younger brothers?"
Sun Xu saw that the others were not malicious, and it was not easy to refuse, so he said, "It's okay." Saying that, he asked the maid who had been following him to go back and report that he was safe, and followed Liu Yongzhang and the others to the Chunfeng Building not far from here.
Chunfeng Building, taking the meaning of spring breeze, was just an ordinary restaurant at first, but later I don't know if this restaurant is because of the good signboard, and gradually ranked first in the city. And when the annual imperial examination is released, it is even more difficult to find a seat here. Whether it is a thank-you banquet or a banquet of the same year, the scholars are the first choice here.
Along the way, several people also knew each other, Peng Lin and Zhang Tao were from Fucheng, and they were the same age as Liu Yongzhang and they moved around a lot; Wang Zhong and Liu Gou were both from Chengban County, Jinhua Prefecture, and they were much older than Sun Xu, but they met at this township test.
After several people introduced each other, they chatted. The friendship of the same year is the best bridge to open up the relationship in the officialdom, after all, the way to get involved in the officialdom in the future is the most important. But not all scholars have a way, even if they win the title of the Jinshi in the title of the gold list, they are divided into three, six, nine and so on. But it doesn't matter if you don't have a way yourself, you just know someone who has a way.
While talking, several people had already entered the restaurant, and someone led them up to the private room on the second floor, but Liu Yongzhang and others had already booked it. After entering the house, they divided their seats one by one, and in a short time, the table was full of wine and food.
In order to wait for the release of the list, everyone didn't eat anything in the morning, and when they saw the delicious food, they were naturally no longer polite.
Between pushing the cup and changing the lamp, I heard Wang Zhong say: "I have heard for a long time that this spring breeze building not only has delicious food, but also talented women and scholars such as me will perform poetry, I don't know if I can see it today?"
He was originally a son of a bitter cold family, but now that he suddenly got the title, he was naturally a little fluttering. I have long heard that this Chunfeng Building is not only first-class wine and food, but the most attractive thing is the poetry meeting held by Yueyue in the restaurant.
As soon as these words came out, Liu Gou next to him was also a little moved. The two have been unmarried because of their poor families, but they can't afford to marry. Before the township test, the two of them already had the status of showmanship, no matter what, they would not be beaten if they could avoid Tian Fu. I just think that at least I will take the exam first, and then talk about it when I have an alternate officer. Of course, if you haven't been lifted in the year of establishment, then you can only start a family before starting a business.
When Peng Lin heard this, he laughed and said: "Brother Wang and Brother Liu have moral articles on weekdays, but I can't imagine that he is also a romantic person." has been in the county for a long time, and actually knows the fate of this spring breeze building. ”
Wang Zhong and the others were embarrassed, they were happy, drank a few more cups, and were in a trance, so they threw their usual qi cultivation skills out of the clouds. Being laughed at by this Peng Lin, the wine woke up a little, and the words of the sage they usually learned made them a little ashamed.
Seeing this, Liu Yongzhang smiled and said: "Why should the second brother be ashamed? The sage Shang Yun 'luster is also' the sage is not exempt from vulgarity, and I am a mortal to call it? But today the two of you are destined to be disappointed." I've been to this Chunfeng Building a few times and know their rules. Due to the surge in the number of sergeants in the city, in order to prevent accidents, but a month before and after the township test, those talented women will not come here to know poetry. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard several shouts outside: "Ji Cainu is here, Ji Cainu is here!"
Liu Yongzhang's smile instantly froze on his face, but he immediately changed into a look of ecstasy, and regardless of greeting everyone, he directly raised his legs and rushed out of the door.
Sun Xu didn't know what kind of person this talented woman was, and she could make Liu Yongzhang disregard etiquette so much. But I heard Zhang Tao, who had never spoken, say: "Let's go and have a look." ”
A few people listened to Zhang Tao's explanation while walking, and Sun Xu realized that in order to attract customers, this Chunfeng Building came up with the idea of a talented and beautiful woman knowing poetry a few years ago. A poetry party will be held in the restaurant from time to time every month, and the winner will be able to dine in the restaurant for free for one year. In order to attract women to participate, not only did they buy many BMW incense cars and heavy rewards, but also hired many female dart masters to escort the women who came to perform poetry.
Although women don't read much, there are always one or two geniuses, and this poetry club will spread the stories of some talented and beautiful women every year. However, in a few years, it successfully attracted the attention of the entire Jinhua, and Chunfeng Building became famous.
The "Ji Cai Girl" shouted by outsiders is the most famous one in this year's poetry meetings, it is really a double masterpiece of color and art, Brother Liu was shocked when he saw it, and he fell into lovesickness. After Zhang Tao finished speaking, he sighed lightly.
He and Liu Yongzhang have known each other since childhood, how could they not know his intentions? For the sake of this woman, Liu Yongzhang did not follow his father when his father was promoted, but chose to stay.
"Oh, is that so?" Sun Xu heard this, but felt that something was wrong.
While a few people were talking, they saw that the restaurant was already crowded with people, so they had to come to the handrail on the second floor, condescendingly, and see the first floor clearly.
At this time, the tables in the hall on the first floor had long been removed, and a platform was temporarily built with many tables and chairs, and everyone downstairs gathered around the platform. On that platform stood a beautiful woman with a guqin beside her. This woman's temperament is fresh and refined, not like a mortal person: three thousand green silk is tied behind her head, she is dressed in white and snow, the skin slightly exposed at the neckline is delicate like coagulation, her body is concave and convex, and her jade body exudes a burst of fragrance, which is the real smell of several people on the second floor.
But I heard the woman say softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, you shouldn't have taken the liberty to disturb today. It's just that the little girl has learned a new tune, and she suddenly feels natural when she plays it, and she wants to ask all the virtuous people for advice. ”
After saying this, some scholars had already applauded and motioned for her to play, and Liu Yongzhang, who was calm and calm, even shouted the name of Ji Cainu, dancing with his hands and feet.
Seeing that everyone was so cheering, the woman set up the guqin and tried the timbre. Then his eyes were slightly closed, and after thinking about the score, he raised his slender hand and plucked the five strings.
The random combination of the five tones of Gong Shangjiao Zhengyu actually made this woman play so well. The beautiful sound of the piano and the fragrance emanating from the surroundings, everyone in the restaurant only felt that the environment around them was constantly changing with the melody of the piano sound.
The sound of this piano is in the ear, and there should be the experience of the sage's lingering sound.
Everyone was wandering in the fairy-like fantasy world when they were interrupted by an inappropriate lazy yawn. With the sound of yawning, the sound of the piano also stopped, and everyone was naturally pulled back into reality. It's like being woken up from a sweet dream, who can stand it?
followed the prestige, but saw that the person who yawned was Sun Xu.
found the culprit, and one of them pointed at Sun Xu angrily and said: "You are so unreasonable, what an honor it is to listen to Ji Cainu play the piano, it's too late to pay full attention, but you are so disrespectful!
The people next to him echoed for a while, and even Liu Yongzhang also looked at Sun Xu with some complaints.
There was also one person in the crowd who also recognized Sun Xu and said, "Sun Gongzi, I know that you are the prince of Fu Yin." There are so many Shilin characters here, don't disgrace your father!"
Sun Xu shook his head after hearing this, and didn't argue with them, and said to the talented girl: "It's not that I'm disrespectful, it's just that the sound of your piano makes me feel sleepy when I hear it." ”
Ji Cainu was already a little curious about this person who could interrupt her piano sound, and when she saw him say this, she said: "Isn't the son a master of music? If Childe doesn't make it clear today, Ying'er won't follow. ”
Although there is anger in her words, her face is full of charm, and her tone is extremely delicate.
