Then there was the sound of a small chime, and two half-armed men were the first to carry it up. On the table covered with flowers, six colors of fruits were already placed, all of which were peeled, cut into pieces, and peeled. , citrus and other pulp and kernels are piled into a pagoda-like pattern. At this time, the music played downstairs had changed to "Spring Orioles".
There are also maids who look like flowers and butterflies, serving a platter of five-flower snacks. They are all common household foods such as dried meat, marinated dried meat, marinated duck, chicken feet, and roasted dumplings. However, they are very delicately piled on the plate and combined with shredded vegetables to make various shapes of lotus petals and ruffles. It is pleasing to the eye and appetizing.
The accompaniment soundtrack also turned into the ethereal and cheerful "Crying of the Night". Someone else brought in celadon, white porcelain, or cracked thin-bodied porcelain vases, containing seasonal drinks; there were orchid osmanthus, patchouli, ice dew, cherry cheese, grape syrup, Japanese yellow, apricot milk, etc. Flavor options.
As the music and accompaniment of "Moon Moon Rises" played, the sweet-stuffed pearl dumpling milk soup, lotus soup with lilies stewed, water chestnut and hu soup, chestnut paste and scallops in a cup were served as an appetizer. ; But at this time, the actual main course is far from visible.
At this time, Kodak, who was already leaning on a soft cushion on the ground, clapped his hands out of thin air; he saw that the silver candlelights that were shining brightly in the pavilion were slowly being replaced by others. Adjust to make it darker. In the end, only a soft, non-glaring and visible level is left;
Then he smiled at Jiang Tian, who was also doing Ge You's paralyzed posture on a pair of beautiful clothes:
"Sir, please look."
Jiang Tian could only see the faint sound of vocal music. As the light on the top floor of this small building dimmed for a moment, after his eyesight got used to the dim and clear lighting, he suddenly saw that the lights in the surrounding pavilions were as bright as daylight. There is almost nothing to hide or cover, and there are all kinds of living beings in all shapes and forms.
Of course, even if I had reservations because it was my first time here, there would be no other sideshows; it would just be the simplest of eating, drinking, listening to music, chatting smoothly with Kodakya, and looking at the surrounding pavilions. The sensual and sensual scenes are also quite relaxing and freehand.
For example, in the slightly larger pavilion on the left called Lan Terrace. One of the prime ministers at that time, Douluwang, the right servant of Shangshu Tongzhongshu and the cousin of Douluozhuo, a third-ranked disciple of Zhongshu, invited musicians and musicians to host a wedding banquet upstairs to celebrate his entry into the imperial family. Jixianyuan, one of the pavilions, has the noble and beautiful position of being a correctional officer of the seventh rank;
Therefore, it can be said that the scene was a grand occasion with all the guests and no one coming and going. For example, playing the pipa and playing the pipa to add to the fun is the famous Pingkang master Zheng Juju, who is known as the "Pipa Lady"; showing her singing voice in the curtain at the back of the hall is the Jiangzhen Lady, also known as the "Miaoyin'er";
Surrounding Lady Jiangzhen's curtain, those who were admiring it in a mesmerizing manner were Lin Junxiu, a scholar from the capital, or Li Zhi, Liu Yuncheng, Yong Zhang and other well-known poets of the generation. The most distinguished guest on the lower left side of Douluwang was accompanied by Sun Longguang, the elegant and elegant predecessor who was born in Tanhua, Zuo Sanqi's regular attendant.
And placed at the banquet, there are also Lang Guanchun and Apochun with seals from Neifang, which look very authentic, far from the half-baked goods sold in the East Market that are mixed with water; according to Jiang Tian's knowledge of this era Although most of the drinks are not high in alcohol content, they like to add various ingredients during the brewing process to present a rich and diverse texture and long taste.
The songs and dances that served as entertainment banquets were also quite impressive. The dance with swaying skirts and clouds in the hall was the "Lingbo Dance" performed by the famous dancer Cui Huan'er of our institute. It is said that it was performed by Xie Xie, a famous actress in Kaiyuan Dynasty. The Dazheng voice has been handed down from Aman; however, since the Anshi Rebellion, Xie's family has been almost dead since she was married to Liang Gong along with Princess Yong.
Of course, while the whole hall was full of people drinking and drinking, Douluwang, as the host of the banquet, also noticed the lights on the adjacent Ehua Tower. Then, he said to the personal attendant who came up to him with a look: "Let's go and find out who can make this man feared by others, and who are the people who have made the special trip to entertain him."
And in another pavilion on the right, which is brightly lit, but with the door closed, the windows ajar, and strong servants guarding and waiting; there is a group of men dressed in long gowns and plain headdresses. It is obvious that they are women who are either rich or noble. The Golden Orchid Banquet is being held to welcome the new and the old.
It's just that the lobby and middle floor seemed lively and bustling compared to the various gambling games and other indulgent play programs going on. However, there were several slightly older women, hiding in silence, under the shade of the trees on the roof terrace, and using a pair of exquisitely crafted close-up mirrors to look at the situation in various pavilions.
And when one of them scanned the Ehua Building, he immediately murmured to himself:
"It turns out that he is the one who can achieve success with a knife, and he lives up to his youth!"
"I don't know whose family it is from. I'm young and tight, so I don't think I can be so determined."
"I like it better. I smile to the sky with my sword across my sword, leaving behind my liver and gallbladder, the heroic spirit of sacrificing my life for each other."
"I heard that he was the one who killed everyone during the Shangyuan Festival and rescued the little female disciple who was kidnapped by the gangsters."
"So, he is also a man of extraordinary courage and ancient style of chivalry."
"It's a pity that he is still a member of the Fenghuan sect. I'm afraid his career will be in trouble and his future will be hopeless in the future."
"Be careful with your words, be careful with your words, I managed to hide it from that little devil star with great difficulty. I advise him to attract a look, but don't let his traces slip!"
In the Ehua Building, Ke Keya continued to point Jiang Tian to another place, a tall building in the middle connected by many flying corridors:
"Look, that place with eight sides and six floors is Wu Yun Tower, the largest place in the garden; it is said to be a place that can accommodate a thousand people for banquets."
"In addition to the large banquet hall on the first floor and the small banquet hall on the second floor, there are dozens of suites and private rooms on the third floor and above. They are said to have everything you need for a living room at home."
"You can even make people pretend to be parents, sisters, children, wives and concubines, and claim to be at home and take care of every detail; therefore, the supply exceeds the demand all year round, and the house is like a market."
"Therefore, in the early years, there were some merchants in Beijing who took care of their affairs here after they accidentally got sick because their children and relatives were not around."
Jiang Tian was slightly startled when he heard this, but he couldn't help but feel a little interested; he didn't expect that in this era, there is such an immersive scene play style, and does it also have the function of hospice care? It is indeed a very ingenious way of making a living!
However, Kodakya pointed to another place, a five-story platform that was both long and wide, and said:
"The only one that can be compared with it at the moment is the Feiming Tower. Compared with the Chinese style of Wuyun Tower and the Tang Dynasty, the main focus here is the extraterrestrial style."
"So it is said that each level is divided into several large areas, which include various scenes of the Qin, Anxi, Tianzhu, and Kunlun countries in the outer regions."
"Therefore, when envoys from small foreign countries and princes from distant continents are sent out every five years, they usually choose this place as a place for private banquets and hospitality for fellow countrymen."
At this time, Jiang Tian suddenly let out a sigh and took the initiative to ask:
"What's the situation there?"
Following the faint noise, there was a brightly lit balcony opposite the mirrored pool; unexpectedly, people jumped down from the second and third floors one after another amidst the exclamations and shouts.
"It turns out it's them!"
However, Kodakya looked at it and said disapprovingly:
"These are mostly martial arts lunatics from the Tong Xin Hui. All they do all day long is find people to fight with and teach them how to fight with swords. Among the dozens of clubs under the Jinghua Grand Shrine and the hundreds of martial arts villas, they are considered to be the leaders for a while."
"It is estimated that this time there was another dispute and conflict with other clubs at the banquet. However, it is still early before the World Martial Arts Tournament and the Grand Competition; without those good players from other states and other regions, we can not There are signs, I’m afraid the trouble will not start.”
"In addition, we are on Lady Liu's property right now. I guess the most they can do is send someone out to decide the winner in public just to entertain everyone."
Just as they were talking, the people who jumped off the building were divided into three distinct groups on the spot. Then one person each walked out, announced their name, drew their swords and faced each other, and started fighting with clinking sounds.
Although they were far away, their voices could not be heard clearly, and their specific faces could not be seen clearly; but there was naturally a pleasing rhythm and coordination between the rising and falling of rabbits and the flying of falcons, and the flickering of swords and swords. The rhythm of sex.
Therefore, after a while, someone submitted a post with three names and a brief introduction, but it asked whether they wanted to bet on the corresponding sword fighting candidates; obviously the operators of the park and their subordinates, I am already familiar with this kind of thing.
Of course Jiang Tian could not deny it. However, Kodakya was very familiar with it. He circled a name and added two more strokes, then smiled at him and said:
"Although it's just a trivial skill that won't work on the stage, sir, you might as well give it a try."
“I don’t care about winning or losing anyway, I’m just having fun during my free time.”
However, just as he finished speaking, before Jiang Tian could make a decision, something suddenly happened in the courtyard.
