Chapter 81 Banquet IV
The banquet hall on the third floor of Tianxiangju is very large and luxurious. The banquet hall is square in shape. The easternmost part is a raised stage, and the west is the stairway leading to the entrance. There is a huge 20-fold screen at the stairway.
The banquet hall is isolated from the staircase. The floor is covered with a two-finger-thick expensive cashmere blanket. Nine small tables are placed in the center. The distance between each table is almost three feet away...
...A variety of exquisite tea and snacks have already been placed on the table, and the beautiful and handsome man in red sleeves holding various musical instruments has also been preparing for the stage for a long time.
As soon as Mu Qiuhuang and others came out of the stairs, they were helped by the girls who had been waiting here for a long time. They took off their outer cloaks and put on soft boots... The room was as warm as spring but not boring at all. They only wore a pair of underwear.
I feel very comfortable and happy wearing single clothes.
Although the banquet hall on the third floor is large, there are actually not many guests. Except for Ji Yan, the host of the banquet today, there are only Mu Qiuhuang and seven other princes, and there is also Mr. Yan, the left minister of the Ministry of Etiquette.
The only people left on the stage were the dozen or so beautiful courtesans invited from Red Sleeves, and the girls sitting next to each of them who were responsible for serving them. But I didn’t know that these girls who were serving them were from Ji Yan.
Where to find it? After all, it is well known that Hong Xiu sells his skills and does not sell his body... Linghu Jie and other princes' descendants were all left in the hall on the first floor.
Ji Yan naturally sat upright at the main seat, and the other princes' disciples also found a table to sit at, but naturally the first table to the left of the main seat was left empty. Mu Qiuhuang originally wanted to use this seat
Yan Kun was offered a seat, but then Yan Kun refused firmly and only agreed to sit on the last table. After several attempts to give in, Mu Qiuhuang stopped being polite and sat directly on the left side of the main seat.
On the first table.
After everyone was seated, the sound of silk and bamboo began to play on the stage... At this point, the banquet officially began.
When the banquet started, the stage was filled with bright purples and reds... The well-trained servants in the building also gently brought the fine wine given by the little emperor, the dishes carefully prepared by the Tianxiangju chef, and the girl sitting next to him.
They were also quiet and speechless, and began to pour wine for the nobleman they were responsible for serving. Fortunately, the girls were already used to such big scenes, so all of them looked calm and behaved dignifiedly.
Among the people sitting here, except for Mr. Yan Kunyan, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, who only wants to leave his name in the history books and does not allow any stain on himself, and who is strict about self-discipline and not to be stained by the wind and moon...the rest of them are all in the wind and moon field.
Ridiculous things such as those who have been in the brothel, sleeping in brothels, buying beauties with thousands of dollars, and such ridiculous things are commonplace for them... But suddenly these people are in the same room, and the clean and tidy Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Etiquette is sitting there.
Because of this, I felt a little at a loss for a while.
When the food and wine had stopped being served, Ji Yan suddenly stood up with a glass of wine and said: "Thank you, brothers and Master Yan, for being able to come to this banquet. It was not easy for us to get to know each other before because we were all living in different places...
Today we have the chance to meet and get to know each other, which is really a happy event in my life. Come on, brothers, drink this cup to the full..."
Everyone picked up their wine glasses and drank it all with Ji Yan. After drinking the first glass of wine, Ji Yan sat down, poured herself another glass of wine, and invited Master Yan Kunyan, who was sitting at the bottom, from afar... The host's family opened.
He nodded, and the atmosphere became lively in an instant. There was a lot of drinking and chatting, and some even started talking.
He began to move his hands up and down on the girl next to him, squeezing her breasts and touching her buttocks... After three rounds of drinking, all the gentlemen became familiar with each other, and started a new round of drinking and flirting.
A feeling of falling in love with each other at first sight and regretting seeing each other again.
In fact, it is easy to understand if you think about it carefully. These people are actually the same type of people. Although some people are commoners and are not valued by their families, the monthly support they should have in the Hou Mansion is not less at all. And then these
What can the boring second-generation ancestors do if they don't worry about money? All they do all day long is to play with Huang Qingcang, fight cocks and play dice, hang out and hang out... These ridiculous things really prove the saying "Birds of a feather flock together."
There is an old saying that people are divided into groups.
…
"Sir Yan, here's a toast to you." Mu Qiuhuang raised her wine glass and greeted Yan Kun from a distance.
Yan Kun nodded to Mu Qiuhuang to thank him, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, then shook the rim of the glass towards Mu Qiuhuang in a pretense of provocation. Mu Qiuhuang couldn't help laughing when he saw this, he really didn't expect that
The Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Etiquette, who was in charge of etiquette, had such a funny side. He also picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, showing the bottom of the glass to Yan Kun. Then he poured a full glass of wine and paid homage again. Yan Kun raised his eyebrows upon seeing this.
He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp... When the others saw Mu Qiuhuang and Yan Kun starting to fight for wine, they also stopped what they were doing, looked over and started cheering for the two.
The two raised their glasses to each other, and then each drank it down in one gulp. They drank more than ten glasses of wine over and over again. Mu Qiuhuang's face was already flushed, and she put down the glass tremblingly and leaned down.
He waved his hand at Yan Kun on the table and said vaguely: "No, I can't drink anymore..."
Yan Kun looked at Mu Qiuhuang and gave in, with a look of pride on his face. He stood up unsteadily holding on to the table, looked around the crowd with drunken eyes, and asked, "Who else is there?"
As soon as Yan Kun said "Who else?", he was shouting at everyone present at the same time. And who are these young men present? They all take their face very seriously, and they won't lose even if they lose.
Lord, how could you keep calm after hearing Yan Kun's words? Everyone suddenly became commotion... Yun Xiao from Yunjiu Hou Mansion was the first to stand up, raised his glass and shouted at Yan Kun
Said: "Master Yan, I'll drink with you."
"Okay, you're good to go! It's just that Mr. Yun can lie down like Mr. Mu later..." Yan Kun said happily to Yun Xiao.
"What did Master Yan say? How could I be like..." Yun Xiao stopped abruptly when he said this, suppressing the bad words he was about to blurt out, and subconsciously glanced at Mu Qiuhuang.
, seeing that Mu Qiuhuang was still lying on the table indifferently, he slowly breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head and continued: "Is the amount of alcohol okay? You have to drink to know..."
It seems that what Mu Qiuhuang did in the Haihun Marquis fief left such a deep impression on these young masters that Yun Xiao did not even dare to say a word of contempt.
"Okay! Mr. Yun said it well... Come on, do it!" Yan Kun praised Yun Jiu, picked up the wine glass and started drinking with Yun Jiu.
This time, the two of them stood there and started drinking together. The drinks they served were bolder and more generous than what Mu Qiuhuang had just done.
The competition with Yan Kun is even more lively.
For a moment, even the eyes of the girls around them were attracted. Su Ruoyun, the youngest, was shouting "come on" for Yun Xiao. Wu Bian and Ximen Dingding were also looking at the two of them attentively and endured.
He couldn't help but pick up his wine glass and started to drink secretly, preparing to wait until one of them fell to the ground before he could go up and challenge the winner... Compared to them, the others seemed a little calm.
Ji Yan looked at Mu Qiuhuang, who was lying motionless on the table, and then at Yan Kun, who was standing there drinking with Yun Xiao... After thinking for a moment, she couldn't help but smile knowingly, picked up the wine glass and continued to pour herself.
Drink by yourself.
Liu Yiyong was also startled when he saw this, and frowned. He first looked at Yan Kun who was having a drink with Yun Xiao, then he set his sights on Mu Qiuhuang, and finally glanced at Ji Yan.
, after seeing the expression on Ji Yan's face, her brows relaxed, she picked up a peanut with her chopsticks and brought it into the building, chewing it with relish.
Gongyang Tian'a also first looked at Yun Xiao and Yan Kun who were having a drink together, then at Mu Qiuhuang who was lying on the table, then glanced at Liu Yiyong, and finally at himself.
Ji Yan poured herself a drink and remained silent with concern. He was not interested at all in the two people who were having a drink. His ultimate purpose of coming here was just to make friends with Mu, the crown prince of Beiyu.
It's just Qiuhuang... But now Gongyang Tian'an is also a little embarrassed about this matter, and he starts to think: "Are you going to get close to Ji Yan from the Xiliehou Mansion later? Or are you going to find the Beiyuhou Mansion?
Mu Qiuhuang?"... Judging from Ji Yan's initial attitude towards Gongyang Tian'an, Gong Yang Tian'an thought that Ji Yan didn't like him, so he gave up that thought and only thought about it.
He had climbed onto the high branch of Prince Beiyu. But now, just an hour before the banquet started, Ji Yan also ordered someone to send him an invitation... From this point of view, Ji Yan's previous attitude towards him
It is very possible that he did it deliberately to test himself?... Thinking of this, Gongyang Tian'a was even more in a dilemma.
…
With a "pop", Yun Xiao fell to the ground drunkenly. He had never drunk Master Yan Kunyan.
But fortunately, one of the losers still has someone to follow... Yun Xiao just fell to the ground, Wu Bian came up to him with a wine glass, and Su Ruoyun and Ximen Dingding saw that they didn't go up first, and they were depressed for a moment.
People started drinking together.
Although Yan Kun was already drunk and hazy, and his body was unsteady, when faced with Wu Bi'an's newcomers to fight for wine, he was still heroic and took all the orders... Time passed by and by, and he saw
Wu Bian was about to be defeated, and Ximen Dingding and Su Ruoyun also picked up wine jars and rushed into it... After a while, the wine-fighting team composed of Wu Bian, Ximen Dingding, and Su Ruoyun finally defeated this man who had been fighting for a long time.
Lord Yan Kun of the two young masters, Lord Yan Kun and Lord Yan didn't say anything this time. Instead, they just lay down on the ground and fell asleep. As a result of drinking Lord Yan, they were all drunk.
Seeing that the banquet was winding down...but as Yan Kun's snoring sounded, something new began to change.
