Chapter 52

Yingmei Pavilion entertains guests on the first floor. The barrier door facing the courtyard is open, and a thin silk curtain is hung to block the cold wind.

More than a dozen guests sat in the tavern, drinking, laughing and enjoying the plum.

The four corners of the tavern are burning charcoal pots to disperse the cold of winter.

A maid led Xu Qi'an in. Everyone turned their heads and looked at the tall young man in the moon white scholar's robe.

Xu Qi'an's mind flashed over the rules of tea ring described by Constable Wang. He tried to make his smile gentle and bow to the crowd:

"in the lower Changle County scholar Yang Ling, you are welcome."

Among the people present were not only the gentry in royal robes, but also the students of the Imperial Academy.

Some people don't care to look away, some look at it, some smile back.

It seems that during the period of Beijing inspection, Dafeng's officials were much more honest... In the past, with the rank of girl Fuxiang, this place would definitely be reserved... Xu Qi'an took a seat calmly, and his eyes were always on the lady Huakui who acted as "Xi Jiu".

Her face is full of spring, her eyes are colorful, and her charm is natural.

This woman is very nice. Xu Qian, who has read countless eyebrows, is also amazed.

As far as facial features are concerned, Hua Kui, his aunt, Xu Lingyue and Chu Caiwei are of the same rank. They are different in appearance and have their own characteristics.

Belongs to the kind of walking on the street can absolutely make men amazing, dazzling beauty.

However, in terms of temperament, Hua Kui has the beauty and elegance of a lady from a big family; in terms of dress, she has the gauze dress that women in this era dare not wear.

Fragrant shoulder half dew, neck slender, wrapped in a layer of fans bra tulle, gully looming.

If there is a ditch, there will be fire - she can be a flower leader for a reason.

The role of Fuxiang girl as Xi Jiu is also called Lingguan. Lingguan is responsible for holding drinking orders, which is the responsibility of the atmosphere on the banquet. This job is usually done by famous prostitutes or Huakui, but ordinary women can't do it, because they have high requirements for literary accomplishment.

This time, Xu Qi'an was speaking couplets in turn. Couplets were antithesis. On the left side of Xu Qi'an was a middle-aged man wearing a light blue robe and jingling.

Just when it was his turn, the middle-aged man raised his glass and pondered for a long time, saying: "cold wine is 1:2:3."

Lady Huakui raised the small flag in her hand and commented on the couplet.

The smile on the face of middle-aged people is enlarged, which is quite useful.

This is the reason why Xi Jiu wanted to have a famous prostitute with profound literary heritage. Without a certain level, ordinary prostitutes can't flatter even if they want to.

After the comments, the gorgeous Huakui lady fell on Xu Qi'an.

Everyone at the banquet also looked at it.

I'm not very good at it. It's hard just to be right and neat. Xu Qi'an is calm on the surface and anxious in the heart.

He looked at the plum tree in the yard, and with a flash of inspiration, he deliberately drank a glass of wine to make a free and bold appearance, and said in a loud voice:

"a hundred cloves, a thousand cloves."

"Wonderful As soon as everyone's eyes were bright, there was a smile on Xu Qi'an's face.

It is to admit that he has the qualification to compete for Huakui and treat him as a player of the same level.

Fuxiang Huakui smiles, as usual to Xu Qian's next couplet evaluation (flattery).

The smile on his face was too professional... He stopped looking at me immediately after the evaluation... His sitting posture was a little stiff, and he only drank when he was trying to persuade her to drink... Xu Qi'an quietly observed the body language of the Huakui lady.

Combined with the knowledge of behavioral psychology, we come to the conclusion that this lady Huakui despises our level.

Always with patience.

At this time, the maid led a man in. What a beautiful young man. His skin was white, his eyes were cool, his lips were thin and red, his facial features were delicate, and he was a boy and a girl.

All the people in the room looked sideways. Even Fuxiang Huakui was surprised. She didn't see so many beautiful little Langjun.

The young man dressed up as a scholar came into the house and looked at him casually. He was stunned and froze in the same place.

Xu Qian canthus a burst of disorderly jump, half a day hold back a: "good Qiao."

As soon as the handsome young man drew his mouth, he also said, "what a coincidence..."

"you two know each other." Xu Qi'an side, wear light blue robe of middle-aged people surprised way.

Not only know, he is my little brother... Xu Qi'an down river and sea of shame and embarrassment, calm smile: "there have been several sides of the fate, I think brother Xu still remember Yang, we met in Changle County."

He deliberately reported his surname to remind Xu Xinnian to use a pseudonym.

This is the most basic anti reconnaissance consciousness.

Xu Xinnian lacks this kind of consciousness, but he is smart. He immediately gets his cousin's idea and hugs everyone: "I'm Xu Ping'an, a student of Changle County."

Then he sat down under the instruction of his maid.

Are you mixing up the names of me and my second uncle..... Xu Qi'an conceals his heart by drinking.The drinking order continued. After a while, the maid led them in again. The one on the left was a handsome young man with a blue sky robe, a jade pendant hanging around his waist and a green jade hairpin.

On the right is a man with a big figure, a Chinese character face, and a handsome facial features. He is dressed as a rich man, and has a very different air from merchants and students.

The middle-aged man with high figure stepped into the teahouse and swept at random. He was suddenly stunned and petrified.

Xu Qi'an said: "this way, please, master."

"Ah... Oh..." Xu Pingzhi went into the tavern.

Xu Xinnian and Xu Qian quietly straightened their waists.

After Xu Er Shu sat down, the three tacit understanding did not look at each other, to maintain a serious sitting posture, eyes, nose and heart.

Two bastards said they didn't have time... It's enough to say goodbye. After all, I know something about his true thoughts..... Ning Yan never goes to GouLan....

didn't the second uncle say that he was on duty tonight...

in the past, every time I had a conflict with my aunt, he said that it would be a blessing for me to marry such a beautiful daughter-in-law in my life, and he didn't want to scold my aunt... Bah, what's more It's not a whore.

Elder brother never goes to GouLan... I said why my robe is missing, bah, shameless. My father said that he loved my mother deeply and never went into the land of fireworks.

Xu Qian thinks that the most embarrassing thing in life is to add another one. That is to go whoring, met the second uncle and brother.

My mother, I also died socially.

on second thought, anyway, I'm not the only one who died, so I feel better.

When the drinking order continues, Xu's response in the new year is fairly standard. After all, he is a scholar, while Xu Qi'an looks at his state. Sometimes he is not right and can only be punished for drinking. Xu Pingzhi was not drinking from the beginning to the end, and was despised by the public.

Second uncle is really not forced to count, you have never read a book, you come to join the fun, Huakui is you want to sleep, want to sleep can sleep? Xu Qian complained in his heart.

Father is really a waste of money. Xu Xinnian also complains.

Both of them were anxious, because they did not win the favor of Hua Kui. Xu Xinnian, who has a good appearance, is not watched by Huakui because he is too regular.

Most importantly, there is a strong competitor on the field - the handsome young man in the sky blue thick robe.

He was born in the Imperial College and had a lot of talent. Although he came to the banquet later, he was in the limelight with great talent, which made Huakui smile from time to time.

The young man in the blue robe took his glass, took a sip, and said in a loud voice, "this time, I'll give you a head first."

There was no comment from the crowd, and Fuxiang Huakui said with a smile, "Mr. Zhao, please."

Mr. Zhao looked around the crowd and said, "pine leaf, bamboo leaf, green."

"It's a reduplicated couplet." There was a surprise at the table.

"Pine leaves, bamboo leaves, green leaves... Wonderful, wonderful, I feel inferior to myself."

"Brother Zhao is a great talent, worthy of being a scholar in Guozijian."

After a round of fighting back, everyone was able to compete.

Mr. Zhao had a faint smile and a proud look.

Fuxiang girl's eyes are shining and she stares at Mr. Zhao.

Judging from her expression and subtle movements, Hua Kui has a good feeling for this person surnamed Zhao and appreciates his talent very much. Xu Qi'an frowns and turns to see Xu new year.

The latter just seems to have a melancholy look between the two brothers' brows.

Originally, according to Xu Xinnian's idea, the elder brother who is good at poetry should be a fish in water in Jiaofang department.

Unexpectedly, in the past half a day, the wine boxing and the couplets came again and again, but there were no poems.

In fact, in the past 200 years, there have been few excellent poems, and scholars are not good at composing poems.

When you are in a tea circle, you will naturally avoid those you are not good at.

Because of the poor quality of her guests, she would not be embarrassed if she lost her poems.

At this time, Fuxiang Huakui Yingying got up, blessed her body, and said in a soft voice, "little girl, I'm a little tired. I'll leave first, and I'll drink slowly."

The tea party is over.

Next, if lady Huakui has a crush on someone, she will let her maid leave her and lead her into the house.

If not, the maid will see off the guests, and then open the next round of tea ring.

Everyone was waiting with expectation and anxiety. As time passed, a maid came up after half a stick of incense and said in a sweet voice:

"my wife asked Mr. Zhao to come in for tea."

The guests shook their heads and sighed with regret, while others congratulated Mr. Zhao with a smile.Mr. Zhao is a winner with a smile on his face.

This time, the three men of the Xu family couldn't sit still.
