Silk strings are played and the harp is played while drunken guests recite poems about state affairs. The copper furnace and candles reflect the scenery of the painting hall.
The sound of silk and bamboo was melodious, the musicians were sitting behind the curtains playing musical instruments, the hosts and guests in the hall were enjoying each other and changing glasses, the candlelight was swaying, everyone was laughing, and the dinner party had just begun.
Bai Yujun followed the dancers back and forth into the hall to serve food.
Not only did he have to smell Yang Chen's food to see if it was poisonous, but he also wanted to see if other people's dishes were safe. It wouldn't be good to poison any one of them. So far, it was considered safe to serve five dishes.
It would be better if the face was not covered with rouge and gouache...
The dancer needs makeup. Fortunately, Bai Yujun has fair skin and does not need to apply too much powder. She only needs lipstick to dye her lips red. In this era, lipstick is called lipstick. It is made from certain red leaves through several processes. It is a condensed red fat. It's delicate and bright, with a lingering fragrance. I remember the embarrassment of applying lipstick to my mouth for the first time, and I had to endure it for the sake of the mission.
There was also a complicated hair style and headgear. This was the first time that Shesheng had his hair styled and a bunch of accessories hung on it. The headgear swayed around when he walked.
Being a dancer is very awkward. For example, when delivering food, you can't take big steps but have to take small steps.
Especially the waistband of the skirt is the tightest. Bai Yujun's waist is already thin enough, but it has to be tightened so hard that she almost can't breathe.
If it weren't for the people inside, Bai Yujun would have definitely transformed back into his true form, turned into a giant snake, rolled around a few times, crushed everyone to death, and then swallowed them one by one.
"Serve~"
The housekeeper urged, Bai Yujun and several dancers took the dishes from the maid's hands and walked into the hall with small steps, lowering their heads.
Smelling a familiar smell in the hall full of food and wine, I glanced up secretly and found Chu Zhe sitting next to Yang Chen drinking calmly. It turned out that his senior brother was also attending the banquet.
Yes, after all, he is the main leader in the fight against evil spirits, so of course he has to come and get familiar with him.
He walked quickly to the main table, put down the food and secretly smiled at Chu Zhe. He was the next head of Chunyang Palace in the future, so it was necessary to flatter him, and he might even have to earn a living under him in the future.
Chu Zhe shook his head and smiled bitterly, not knowing whether to lament that Bai Yujun was stunning tonight or too cunning.
Yang Chen raised his wine glass.
"Today is a good day and we should drink this cup together!"
"Drink together~"
There was another sound of drinking and tutting, and Bai Yujun followed the dancers out of the hall quickly.
Then the dishes were served continuously, and there was no abnormality in the process. Although Bai Yujun wanted to use his fortune-telling skills to see the old man Yang Chen, he finally held back. Vomiting blood once was enough, and there was no need to waste his own snake blood.
After meeting Yang Chen, Bai Yujun understood Yu Rong's painstaking efforts.
Old man Yang Chen is the person in charge of countering rebellions in several states in the southeast of the imperial court. He has the blessing of great luck. Bai Yujun, who is a monster, comes to help. He can distribute the luck and help him achieve positive results. The monster wants to cultivate in the era of prosperous luck of the human race. It is not easy to achieve positive results. Fortunately, Bai Yujun has taken the right path, and he has gained more and more luck after several actions.
The atmosphere of the banquet became more and more lively, and Liyuan began to prepare dance performances.
After serving the food, we prepare for the dance. We help each other check the makeup and organize the costumes. The stewardess is responsible for coordinating with the musicians to prepare for the song change.
Old man Yang Chen raised his hand with a smile, and everyone was quiet.
"The moon is setting high and there are fine wines and delicious food. Why not enjoy dancing?"
"Good~"
Everyone nodded in agreement. In fact, they had wanted to watch the dance for a long time. There were not many entertainment projects in these days, so dancing was the most popular one.
the butler shouted at the right time.
"Dance~"
All the dancers filed in and danced gracefully, with moving and eye-catching moves. Seven young dancers in bright red and gorgeous long dresses danced to the music and the whole hall was full of beauty, with their bare hands lingering gracefully and their skirts flying.
He raised his sleeves and fluttered his long-sleeved robe as he turned around on the mat. Who admired his plain waist and slightly curled his waist.
Bai Yujun felt that in the future, if he had no food to eat, he could still go to the opera garden and stutter. Not to mention, the snake demon was really talented at dancing, which was countless times better than vixens and female ghosts, at least not in terms of body and waist.
There was good wine and delicious food, intoxicating dancing and music, and everyone was laughing and fragrant at the dinner. Everyone here is an important member of the family or party who would not behave indecently on such an occasion. Although the dancer is beautiful, no one dares to be presumptuous. Of course, if it were another The nephews and nephews from each family may cause some trouble when they come. Maybe it is because tonight is so important that no one brings their nephews to see the world.
Chu Zhe was surprised. This was the first time he seriously appreciated dance.
The dancer was dancing in the middle of the banquet hall. Chu Zhe kept staring at Bai Yujun. He suddenly discovered that she had another moving side. Her graceful and agile figure had always attracted Chu Zhe's eyes.
Yang Chen, an old man, looked at Chu Zhe and followed his gaze to see a certain dancer in the field.
"Immortal, are you attracted to that girl? She is very elegant. I will have her sent to your room tonight."
Chu Zhe was stunned for a moment, then blushed and shook his head.
"No, Mr. Yang has thought too much."
On the dance floor, Bai Yujun stumbled and almost fell. He almost couldn't help but rush up and bite this hateful old man to death. He thought he was a good old man before, but he didn't realize he was an old turtle!
For the sake of the mission, Bai Yujun endured it and pretended that he didn't hear anything.
In ancient feudal times, dancers or maids and waiters had no status and could be killed at will. The government only needed to fine them a few taels for interrogation. To be honest, it was not a good era. It is more appropriate to describe the feudal era as inhumane.
Old man Yang didn't make any arrangements. Yang Chen's eldest son, who was nearly fifty years old, was nicknamed Uncle Yang. He stared at the lead dancer and thought about it. He suddenly thought of a good idea. Uncle Yang is one of those people who takes advantage of others and thinks he has nothing to offer. He is a typical example of unrecognized talent, otherwise Yang Chen would not have kept him in his hometown and refused to let him go out, for fear that he would cause trouble outside and bring harm to the family.
"Why don't you let a beautiful woman accompany you to the wine and banquet? Butler, arrange for a dancing girl to serve the guests."
"Master, wait a moment, I will make arrangements right now."
The adults did not stop him. It was common for dancers or brothel girls to accompany him at family dinners.
But Chu Zhe, who was sitting next to Yang Chen, suddenly turned cold.
"With the rebellion at hand, you all should focus on important matters."
"What the Immortal said is absolutely true. You can just enjoy the dance with peace of mind and be pure of heart." Yang Chen set the rules in one sentence. Young Master Yang, who was nearly fifty years old, could only stop his activities and face his seventy-year-old father. He was still afraid.
The party continues.
When the dinner was at its most lively, the maids brought in fruits and melons for the guests to eat.
Just when a maid carrying a fruit plate passed by Bai Yujun, Bai Yujun suddenly smelled a special smell. There was something wrong with the plate of fruits sent to the main table...
Because he couldn't be too obvious while dancing to reveal his identity, he could only stare at Chu Zhe anxiously.
Fortunately, Chu Zhe kept staring at Bai Yujun and quickly discovered something strange.
Looking at the plate of melons and fruits, Chu Zhe didn't find any problem. He would rather believe it or not and pulled the fruit plate in front of him without leaving any trace. The maids and maids didn't know it. It was obvious that someone had tampered with it outside.
The banquet was still lively.
The dance is coming to an end, and the long-rehearsed red flowers are in full bloom.
The lead dancer stood in the middle, playing the role of a flower fairy, and the other six dancers formed a circle facing the lead dancer and knelt on the ground. They bent back and spread their arms to simulate blooming flowers. Their jade hands were graceful, and they bent back and their hair accessories were about to touch the ground. Everyone applauded.
To be honest, this gesture was very tempting, and Bai Yujun was about to go berserk. Fortunately, the musician finished playing and the dancer exited.
"Okay~hahaha~"
There was still joy in the hall. Bai Yujun breathed a sigh of relief when he came outside and sat in a side hall to rest with other dancers. Several other dancers performed on the stage.
Not long after, the maid came into the living room and removed the plate, and happened to pass by Bai Yujun carrying the fruit plate.
"Wait a minute~"
Taking the plate from the maid's hand, the maid thought that these dancers wanted to eat the leftovers and ignored them. It was normal to eat the master's leftover food in the house. After all, the master's food was delicious.
Holding the plate, Bai Yujun pulled out a silver hairpin from the top of her head and pulled at the fruit plate.
