Chapter Eighty-Four: Painting the Boat
At this time, I walked towards a delicate painting boat that was still on the edge of the lake. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Your Excellency, please stop, my master has already chartered this boat, please forgive me. A middle-aged man stood on the boat and said.
Bai Xiaojian couldn't help but stop his pace when he heard this, looked into the painting boat and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go to the other boats to have a look." ”
At this time, the window on the painting boat was suddenly opened, and a middle-aged man's voice came from the window: "This son, please stay, there is just a vacant seat on the painting boat under the bag, I wonder how about the son come up and sit?"
Since someone invited him, Bai Xiaojian didn't push back, and walked towards the painting boat at the moment.
As soon as he entered the painting boat, Bai Xiaojian found that the boat was quite spacious and exquisite, and he saw five or six middle-aged men in Chinese clothes sitting on the seat, one of which was a middle-aged man holding a feather fan, and said to Bai Xiaojian: "How about the son sitting next to him?"
Bai Xiaojian also sat down beside the middle-aged man unceremoniously, and after sitting down, he said to the man beside him: "Thank you." ”
"Childe is really bold, and he has heard his name for a long time. The middle-aged man with a feather fan in his hand laughed.
Bai Xiaojian couldn't help but be suspicious, and secretly said that he was not famous now, had this person heard of my name of worshipping Xiaojian?
Seeing Bai Xiaojian a little surprised, the middle-aged man in Chinese clothes then smiled and said: "Gongzi had dinner in the first restaurant in Dangning City a few days ago, and that restaurant is one of the properties of the Xia Commercial Bank. ”
"It turns out that you are the owner of the Xingyuan Trading Company. Bai Xiaojian thought about it and couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
"Yes, Xingyuan Commercial Bank was only founded in his spare time, and it is not an amazing thing. The middle-aged man in the gorgeous costume said lightly with a feather fan in his hand.
Bai Xiaojian was a little surprised in his heart, this way north, Bai Xiaojian found that this Xingyuan business bank involved all walks of life, and its industry could be seen in large and small towns along the way, this middle-aged man was afraid that he was a very wealthy rich businessman.
The middle-aged man saw that the painting boat was already swimming towards the center of the lake, and couldn't help but smile at the rest of the people: "Everyone, this Xiao Gongzi is a rare young hero, come and come, I will introduce it to you below." ”
When the rest of the people heard this, they smiled and said: "Brother Guo has always known heroes, since this Xiao Gongzi can be praised by Brother Guo, I think he also has some outstanding skills." ”
The middle-aged man surnamed Guo saw what others said, but he didn't say anything, but introduced the people on the boat to Bai Xiaojian next to him one by one.
After Bai Xiaojian heard this person's introduction, he realized that several people on this boat were actually prominent people in the city, and the one on the left turned out to be the city guard of Dingchang City, and then one person was the head of a wealthy family in the city, and the rest of the people were also prominent people.
After the introduction, the middle-aged man surnamed Guo smiled and said to Bai Xiaojian about his name, this middle-aged man in a Chinese costume holding a feather fan is surnamed Guo Mingzhengtu, who is also from a famous family, but he has always been reluctant to enter the court as an official, and he will take the time to manage chores such as Xingyuan Commercial Bank in addition to studying at home behind closed doors.
Bai Xiaojian looked at Guo Zhengtu, the owner of Xingyuan Commercial Bank, who was talking and laughing freely, but he had some admiration for him in his heart, secretly thinking that this person had the talent of the heavens and the earth, but he did not want to enter the court as an official, but he had the taste of a hermit master.
Several singers sitting upright in the painting boat played the guqin on the table, and the sound of murmuring was constantly flowing in the ears on the painting boat.
Guo Zhengtu said to Bai Xiaojian on the side: "Young Master Xiao, do you know who the most famous kabuki in Dingchang City is?"
Bai Xiaojian shook his head and said, "I worship Xiaojian, but I don't know this." ”
Seeing Bai Xiaojian shaking his head and saying that he didn't know, Guo Zhengtu smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if Xiao Gongzi doesn't know, because the owner of the painting boat tonight is this famous Miss Caixing in Dingchang City. ”
Bai Xiaojian couldn't help but feel a little curious about this Miss Caixing when he heard this, and turned his attention to the shadowy figure on the side of the screen of the painting boat.
At this time, a guqin ensemble had been played, and everyone sitting on the table tasted the tea in the jade cup in their hands.
Guo Zhengtu smiled and said to everyone: "Everyone, the tea you drink is picked from the coast of the South China Sea, how does it taste?"
Bai Xiaojian tasted the tea in the cup carefully, but he didn't feel much, and secretly said What kind of taste does this tea drink, isn't it the tea picked in the South China Sea.
The rest of the people said yes one after another, Bai Xiaojian didn't feel anything when he heard it, and couldn't help but keep his eyes firmly on the screen, on which a landscape painting with beautiful mountains and rivers was painted, and there seemed to be some embellishments such as animals in the landscape painting.
At this time, the screen has been slowly removed by the two girls, only to see that there is a woman in a silk neon dress and feather coat on the side of the screen, looking at the temperament like smoke and water, but the posture on the face seems to be covered with a layer of white veil as hazy, Bai Xiaojian looked at the past only to find that the woman revealed a faint red mist.
The rest of the people in the boat all showed an obsessive look in an instant, and Guo Zhengtu suddenly woke up after losing his mind for a moment, and his eyes revealed a fierceness, but it was fleeting, and he looked at the neon woman in front of him as if nothing had happened.
This neon woman in a beautiful posture couldn't help but pay more attention to Bai Xiaojian after glancing at everyone at the table, and it seemed that she was quite fond of Bai Xiaojian, and the rest of the people at the table were very surprised when they found out.
"The little girl greets you. The woman in the neon dress said softly after giving a faint salute.
The city guard of Dingchang City preemptively said: "Miss Caixing is very polite, I and a few others came together just to see the appearance of the young lady, and now it is really worthy of the name when I see it." "Although he already has a lot of concubines in his own house, if he adds another one like this, he will not have too much.
Except for Bai Xiaojian and Guo Zhengtu, the rest of the people at the banquet rushed to talk to the woman in the neon dress, and only after everyone had nothing to say did the painting room fall silent.
The neon dress woman looked at the little sword with her eyes, and after thinking about something, she danced gracefully to the accompaniment of the piano...... (To be continued.) )
