Chapter 61: Qin Xian Yao Lian
"Please, two sirs, girls will come soon." The beautiful woman smiled and invited the two into the room, then brought them to the door.
"No, go and invite the two gentlemen next door to come over, we are together." A cunning smile appeared on his fat face, and Liao Qichang blinked.
The beautiful woman was stunned, then nodded to show her understanding, turned around and went out, leaving only a plump buttocks in the eyes of the two.
"Brother Liao, who else do you have?" Wufeng asked casually while looking at the facilities in the room.
"Don't worry, brother, we are all famous gentry from the south of the Yangtze River. We went to Beijing with me this time." Liao Qichang was not afraid of it.
"Oh, there have been many heroes in Jiangnan since ancient times, so I have to make friends with each other." Wufeng replied with a smile.
Soon the door was pushed open again, and two people who looked like rich businessmen in a dressed manner came in. Liao Qichang took Wufeng's hand and introduced them to them, "This is a famous Mr. * from our Jiangnan County. Maybe I have heard of it, right?" Liao Qichang introduced one of the medium-sized scholars.
"I heard about the names of the seven major families in Jiangnan for a long time. I am so lucky to meet the head of the Wen family today." Wufeng was shocked. He didn't expect that this guy with a bad appearance was the leader of the Wen clan who was in charge of the Niuer in the Jiangnan business world. His fair face was covered with blue beards and his small eyes seemed very agile.
"I've been awarded too much. My reputation is the most powerful empire. Although I'm far away, I've already admired you." *I'm very kind.
"This is my good friend and my hometown. General Shi Long, the head of the Imperial Naval Army Logistics Department, went to the military headquarters to report his duties this time." Liao Qichang introduced the person next to him to Wufeng.
Imperial Navy? While the other party was looking at Wufeng, Wufeng was also carefully observing the other party. His fair skin, slender figure, thin cheeks, and a typical Jiangnan literati. Unexpectedly, he was a soldier and a heavyweight in the Imperial Navy, which surprised Wufeng.
"Look for a long time, look for a long time." After a series of hypocritical and polite words, the few people finally took their seats again. Liao Qichang sat in the main seat, while Wufeng sat in the main seat, and there was a seat in between, probably a singer who was waiting for a drink.
Wufeng knew that the status of the entire Imperial Navy was roughly equivalent to a military region of the Imperial Empire, and was under the jurisdiction of the General Administration of Military Affairs, but it was slightly more independent than the four major military regions. The Imperial Navy headquarters was located in Yuhang Prefecture, the capital of Jiangnan County, with the first, second, third, and third watercraft fleets and a slightly smaller direct watercraft fleet. There was also about a garrison of the army mainly used to guard the berths of each fleet.
The First Fleet is stationed in Donghai County and Yanyun County sea area. Its main base is located in Dengzhou Prefecture, Donghai County, and there are two smaller military ports in Yunzhou Prefecture, Yanyun County and on Wansheng Island in the Ryukyu Islands. The Second Fleet is mainly stationed in Baodao and the sea area near Kamchatka Island. The base is located in Gaolong Port on Baodao, and a small military port is located in Haicucumber Port on Kamchatka Island. The Third Fleet is stationed in Jiangnan County, including the North Pearl Island Sea Area, the base is located in Quanzhou Prefecture, Jiangnan County, and a small military port is built on Huludao on the North Pearl Islands. Quanzhou Port is not only the most important commercial port of the empire, but also the largest military port of the empire. The direct fleet is located in Yuhang Prefecture, the capital of Jiangnan County, and mainly stations in the sea areas within the chain defense line formed by the three major fleets, and also includes the most important Fanjiang route (east-west direction) and canal route (north-south direction).
Since the Imperial Navy headquarters is located in Yuhang, the capital of Jiangnan County, naturally, Liao Qichang also had a close relationship with the senior officials of the Imperial Navy, so Shi Long attended the cocktail party.
Liao Qichang was a master who was very good at creating atmosphere. With his unscrupulous jokes, the scene immediately opened up and the atmosphere became active. Wufeng also found a common topic with * about the investment in Northern Luzon in Jiangnan's business community. The two talked very aggressively on this issue. Wufeng enthusiastically invited Wenjia to participate in the development of Northern Luzon and expressed his willingness to provide extremely preferential conditions. * was also very interested in Northern Luzon's sufficient labor and abundant resources, which made the two look like they met too late.
The beautiful girls who served the wine also opened Wufeng's eyes. The four girls who accompanied Wufeng were all beautiful. The ones who accompanied Wufeng were obviously the top figure in the boat, named Piaoxue, a typical northern rouge. The cleavage formed by a pair of mutton fat-like meat balls swayed in front of Wufeng from time to time. In Wufeng's eyes, her appearance was even better than that of Qin and Gu, especially the superb methods of persuading wine and the tenderness of water made Wufeng drink several large cups of famous daughter Hong in Jiangnan without realizing it.
When Wufeng felt a little hot, the girl beside him immediately tactfully dressed for Wufeng. At this time, a maid came in and turned off a few candles in the room. The light in the room suddenly became dark, but this did not have much impact on Wufeng. The atmosphere also became more charming. Under the light and dark light, and with the pleasure of drinking, several men became more unrestrained, with their arms around, rubbed their skin and breasts, and the distance between men and women became closer.
At the same time, at the other end of the room, the lights at the curtain became much brighter. Everyone knew that the show was coming, and the men had dressed and returned to a hypocritical look. The women also moved their positions with tactfulness. The tenderness was still the same, but they were much more solemn.
As the curtain slowly opened, several figures appeared on a raised performance stage. Well, they were several women, but not the kind of women that they often saw in the romantic places, but a few women dressed very solemnly but quite beautifully. The two women sitting behind were around thirty years old and were not very eye-catching. They each held a pipa in their hands, and in front of the person sitting in the middle, there was a pitch-black seven-stringed calves. However, the piano player behind the piano was wrapped in thick clothes and was covered with a black cloak. People could not see their figure. Looking closely, there was a lifelike peony embroidered at the hem of the cloak, and the piano player also wore a thick veil.
"Qinxian Yao Lian?!" Both * and Shi Long, who were sitting next to him, couldn't help but stand up, their faces full of surprise, which surprised Wufeng. On the other hand, Liao Qichang had a smug look overwhelmed with words, and he was obviously very proud.
"How is it? Is this trip worth it today?" While smiling and showing off to the three people beside me, he also stood up and politely greeted the woman playing the piano on the stage.
After returning a steadily, Liao Qichang, who stood up, also introduced several of his guests to the woman. When he introduced Wufeng, Wufeng, who had no idea about the music and art world, was not shocked by the woman. Instead, he accidentally discovered a light flashing in her eyes that was difficult to detect.
After some courtesy, the banquet came to the main point. With the sound of two strings, the whole room calmed down in an instant. As expected, the reputation was indeed well-deserved. With just two strings, Wufeng also felt the extraordinaryness of the qin art of the woman with the title of Qinxian. In conjunction with the sound of the piano, the two girls behind her also fiddled with the pipa in their hands. The melodious sound of the piano slowly flowed through the entire room under the sound of the pipa.
"The southeast is beautiful, the three Wushu metropolis, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. The smoke and willows painted bridges, the phoenix curtains and green curtains are mixed with 100,000 families. Clouds and trees surround the embankment and sand, the raging waves roll frost and snow, the sky is boundless, the city is full of pearls, the houses are full of silk and silk, competing for luxury." Accompanied by the melodious sound of the piano and the pipa, one of the two girls holding the pipa began to sing loudly, with a soft and soft voice, which was very pleasant.
This is a lyric that describes the prosperity of Yuhang Prefecture, the capital of Jiangnan County. It is the noun "Looking at the Sea Tide" written by Liu Yong, a great poet of this dynasty, and sings the magnificent and prosperous Yuhang Prefecture, known as the "No. 1 Mansion in the Southeast". Because this lyric is written quite beautifully, the words and sentences are all classics, and they are widely sung in the empire and are also the most proud song of Jiangnan people. Today, singing it on such an occasion makes everyone here feel intoxicated and amazed.
At the beginning of the next chasm, except for Wufeng, the other three people couldn't help but sing softly, obviously intoxicated.
"The mountains are filled with lakes and mountains, and there are three osmanthus and ten miles of lotus flowers. The Qiang pipes are sunny, singing in the night, playing with fishing for the old and lotus babies. Thousands of riders are holding high teeth, listening to the flute and drum, singing and enjoying the mist and clouds. The pictures of the future will bring good scenery to the phoenix pond." The woman who sang the second half of the verse became a little low and hoarse, but full of magnetic charm, which was breathtaking. Even Wufeng was deeply infected by not a very favorite music.
"Okay!" When the last sentence "Going to Fengchi Kuai" ended with a clever tremolo, Wufeng, who had always been silent, couldn't help but slap the table. The other three had already stood up and applauded warmly to express their satisfaction. The four girls who were accompanying the drink were even more fascinated, and obviously they had never appreciated such an outstanding artistic performance.
After the song ended, the three girls gave a light gift, but without saying much, they left directly from the small door beside the platform. Instead, Liao Qichang, Shi Long and * hurriedly followed the three girls and kept sending them out of the large cabin. The level of courtesy they received was so high that Wufeng was shocked.
After a while, the three of them returned to the room. Shi Long kept pulling Liao Qichang and insisted that Liao Qichang tell the secret of asking Yao Lian to issue it. He was even willing to thank Sui Zhu who was matched with him, but he was still rejected by Liao Qichang on the grounds of his personal secret, which made Shi Long very depressed.
Wufeng, who was sitting aside, couldn't help asking: "Two sirs, I don't understand. According to Brother Shi, it seems that Yao Lian is difficult to perform. In my opinion, as long as he has money, no one will refuse for the sake of money."
Shi Long stared at Wufeng with a surprised look. After confirming that Wufeng really didn't understand, then he replied: "My brother doesn't know, the three great piano skills of the empire, Qin Shengtao's potential empire is hard to come by; Qin Wang Ye Qing, who has been stationed in the imperial capital for a long time, but he is the most arrogant. If you want to hear him perform on stage, you can enjoy it even if you sit in Qingyuexuan all year round, but you still have a chance; as for Qin Xian Yao Lian, you have been staying in Jinling Mansion in the East China Sea.
Chengfeng Tower occasionally comes to the imperial capital and Jiangnan, but she is so arrogant that she rarely compares. Not to mention that she can perform her skills, even if she is in Chengfeng Tower in Jinling, it is difficult to reach the sky. Not only do you have to make up the opportunity, but you have to look at her mood, and you also have to choose to listen to guests. Even if you are idlers are surrounded by billions of dollars, it is useless. I was also lucky to hear it when I went to Jinling to inspect the naval army two years ago. Today is the second time, and it is exclusive to the church. It is really a rare blessing to hear it." After saying that, I sighed.
