Chapter 51: An Attractive Reward
The sound of "clang" didn't sound much to the people present, but in the ears of Ning Yufei, who fell in the dark room, it was like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made him wake up from his thoughts. Because he was not directly below the feast, some of the footsteps were not loud, but the sound of the collision of hard objects sounded directly in his ears through the floor.
During the banquet, the cup was still moved, and the atmosphere was warm. The embarrassment just now didn't seem to exist, and it was covered up by these old foxes.
The seats on both sides are separated by one zhang between the two sides, but there is a stage on the left and right, about ten zhang apart, which is quite far away.
Kui Lei, who was the first on the right, seemed to be a little drunk, his eyes kept staring at Yu Lianyi's figure, and he kept pouring wine in his mouth. The rest of the people's behavior is much more normal, and even they despise Lord Yin of this mansion in their hearts, you say, in front of their own wife, is it really okay to behave like this?
Soon, the second round of performances began, and the girl musicians changed their costumes, which made people feel novel.
But at this time, Kui Lei's intoxicated eyes opened slightly, and said with a smile, "There is wine and beauty at this banquet, but there is less fun, although the beauty is good, but just watching the dance, doesn't it seem too monotonous?"
Although Liang Zhongshu usually looks down on this burly man, after all, he is also a serious court official, since he is already willing to be his puppet, so why humiliate? What's more, he is also considered a romantic figure, but because of his wife, he does not dare to show his desires too much, otherwise his wife will be dissatisfied and go to Cai Xiang to complain...... This kind of thing, even if you just think about it, feels terrible. So he just happened to find something else to distract him, so as not to be captured by the seductive eyes.
"Oh, what do you suggest?" The dialogue between Liang Zhongshu and Kui Lei made everyone curious, what program can compare to Oiran's singing and dancing?
On the stage, a group of beautiful girls played by themselves, and they didn't care if the people around them were listening.
"Lord Zhongshu is from the military, and he also has military merits, and he also has the position of left-behind military commander, and he is the great Song Dongliang!" Kui Lei is first of all a sycophant, which makes Liang Zhongshu very satisfied, indeed, he was born in the army, and occasionally made meritorious contributions, but he inadvertently saved the young lady of Cai Xiang's family, and even made Miss Cai committed, which can be regarded as an adventure. This is also the proudest thing in his life.
"Our big name is already strong in soldiers and martial arts, why not let the generals learn from each other during the banquet, we will have a bonus, and it can be regarded as a fun during the banquet!" When Yu Lianyi heard his words, a strange brilliance appeared in her eyes.
A few of the people present couldn't help frowning, it was Buzhuang Hao Xiang, grain merchant Cheng Si, Qian Zhuang Qian Yan and financial officer Tan Lan. The guards they brought with them were just ordinary people who were a little stronger. Let them compete in martial arts, and they will have a bonus, isn't that just a loss of face for giving money?
So they all expect Liang Zhongshu to refuse, but will Liang Zhongshu refuse?
But it was clear that he would not refuse, and even he was still wondering why he hadn't come up with such an idea, if he had done it before, and won in the end, wouldn't he have made more money?
He didn't think that he would fail, because Suo Chao, the most courageous man in the Daimyo Mansion, was standing at the door of the back hall at this time, responsible for his safety. In addition, the newly acquired fierce general Yang Zhi, his martial arts are not under Suo Chao, and the two of them will send one of them at will, and they will also take these local chickens and dogs down, right?
"Wonderful, then the beauties will play music, and the stage will be used as the arena. Of course, there are rules for martial arts, and there are only three points. First, no murder is allowed. The second point is not to destroy the stage. The third point is not to go out of the scope of the stage. In addition, whoever can hold on to the end and have no challenger after a continuous stick of incense will get a bonus that several of us take out together. You are witnesses, I Liang someone out of a bonus of 1000 taels of silver. As he spoke, he snapped out a silver ticket.
Seeing Liang Zhongshu's impassioned action, the others couldn't help but give face.
"I'll give a jade pendant, 50 taels of gold!"
"Then I'll give 100 taels of gold!"
"I'm the same as adults, tattoo 1,000 taels of silver!"
......
Individuals are all bidding, even if it is Lou Wenchang, Lu Junyi, Li Cheng, and Wen Da, they are all very generous. Of course, Lou Wenchang didn't care, because this was 'public money' that could be reimbursed, and the others felt that the victory belonged to them.
Ready, Liang Zhongshu raised his head and was about to announce the start of the game, but he saw Lu Junyi across the stage opposite, and he sighed for no reason.
Damn, this is known as the No. 1 master in the north, why did I forget about him? If he also plays, then the victory will be very suspenseful. Even if it is Li Cheng Wenda, he is confident that his two generals can win, but if it is Lu Junyi, it will be dangerous. After all, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the hero of the world is not blind, and he will not be too flattering.
So Liang Zhongshu had to think of another way, he held back a smile and said, "Since this is just a banquet to entertain, those of us who are sitting should be spectators, and let our subordinates perform." It's time to watch the show. ”
If any of you participate, won't you become a singer or a monkey? In this era, as long as you are well fed and clothed, who will look down on those who run the rivers and lakes to perform their performances? Those who sing opera will have a lower status. Unless it is like Yu Lianyi or Master Li, who has become the Oiran of the Beijing Division, then it can be regarded as getting rid of the lowliness. As for men, as long as you choose to sing, then you are almost equivalent to being lowly for the rest of your life, and you will never have the opportunity to be in power. Even if he was Gao Yu, how down-and-out he was at the beginning? But he didn't choose to perform or sing, so he had a prosperous official fortune later. Don't tease me, is this being an official a child's play?
So Liang Zhongshu's words blocked the mouths of Lu Junyi, Wen Da and Li Cheng, and it was not worth losing face to spend red money for that little money.
At this time, Yu Lianyi suddenly spoke on the stage. "The slave family admires heroes the most, and this kind of competition, if it is just some money as a reward, isn't it too tacky?"
"Oh, what does the Oiran lady suggest?" Kui Lei did not miss any opportunity to talk to the Oiran, and looked like a soul teacher.
"Winner, the slave family will personally serve for one night, how about it?" Yu Lianyi also swore endlessly, so that the males present rose up again, eager to learn peerless martial arts immediately, so as to win this once-in-a-lifetime night!
In the dark room, Ning Yufei, who was biting a piece of chicken thigh, also heard this round and jade voice, and almost wanted to rush out and shout "let me come".
Then, he laughed at himself again, it turns out that men are like this, and in the face of beautiful temptations, they always lose judgment. Many men choose their other half not by love, but by feeling, once they choose the wrong one, they shout that they feel wrong, and then cheat......
Shaking his head and throwing away the meat and bones, he really cared a little and had no appetite
