Chapter Eight Sitting Alone in the Gazebo
Zhengyao and his group found two tables and sat down. Looking around, no one around knew each other. This time, Zhengyao miscalculated, but King Jing, Zhu Luying, Ning An and others did not show up.
But if you think about it carefully, it is understandable. After all, Xu Jie's purpose is mainly to choose a son-in-law, whether Ning An or Zhu Luying, they are all women, so naturally they are not the invitation.
"Xu specially invited all the descendants of famous families to visit our house and attend this poetic and drink party. It was not intended to be the purpose of Xu. He wanted to see the young talents who are today. Besides, the girl is old enough to be married, and Xu also wanted to find a good husband for him and a good son-in-law for him, haha." At this time, Xu Jie stood up from the banquet in the middle, held a cup in his hands, and said with a smile on his face.
After hearing what Xu Jie said, almost all the young masters in the audience applauded and were eager to let Xu Yuzhi come out and let everyone meet.
"I heard that Miss Xu is well-educated and polite, beautiful and wise, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. She might as well let Miss Xu come out and let everyone here meet you!" A young man from the other table looked around, then said to Xu Jie.
Yan Hao couldn't help but feel a little relieved at this moment, and immediately stood up and said, "Yes! Lord Xu, please come out with a grand prize!"
Everyone said something, and I said something, and immediately brought the whole conference to a climax.
Zhengyao was in a state of distraction when he saw this Yan Hao. Seeing his expression just now and what he said just now, it was obvious that Yan Hao had made some wrong ideas. In his opinion, Yan Song and Xu Jie have gradually had a gap. Yan Hao is also here to join in the fun this time. The purpose should be to rely on Yan Hao and Xu Yuzhi to temporarily alleviate the relationship between the two parties.
Therefore, the arrival of the Yan family is actually because the drunkard is not about drinking. However, they also knew that the eldest lady of the Xu family might not have a good impression of Yan Hao, so there are naturally some tricks for this trip.
"Haha, don't worry, don't worry. Everyone, please have a banquet, enjoy a song and dance first, and then start this poetry and wine party!" After that, Xu Jie drank it all and then sat down.
Zhengyao and others don’t care about you, eat first. They left early in the morning and were a little anxious to eat, which made them a little hungry now. So when the two tables saw Xu Jie just sat down, they immediately started to eat and drink naturally.
A piece of music was played in the pavilion next to it. At the same time, a large group of women emerged from the side from the temporary terrace. There were more than ten people, each with light gauze, phoenix crown and red robe, fat jade arms, exposed navels, fat swallows, and thin, showing their various styles, and their dancing postures were graceful, which was to tempt sentient beings.
"Okay, okay!"
As a one-eyed dragon, Yan Shifan suddenly licked his lips with his tongue, immediately clapped his hands and shouted loudly, which caused an uproar in the audience. In Zhengyao's memory, Yan Shifan was famously lustful. It is said that the book "Jin Ping Mei" is actually written for him. Ximen Qing in it actually refers to Yan Shifan with the font "Donglou". It is conceivable how licentious Yan Shifan is usually.
"The sound of this music is very wonderful. First, it is like a calm lake, with the water waves not rising, presenting a situation of emptiness and darkness; then, it begins to slowly increase the rhythm and increase the sound effect, making people feel a step-by-step, as if suddenly coming to the turbulent slant of the water flow; then, the rhythm has reached its peak, and the string sound has reached the highest effect. At this moment, it seems like coming to a waterfall and feeling the heroic move of three thousand feet down, which makes people sigh at the magnificence and beauty of nature; finally, it gradually returns to the bass, slowing down, like teasing a big circle, and finally returning to the dullness. Such a rhythm, just like this life, has had lows, climaxes, uncertainty, and distinct strength, and it truly fully explains the word "life."
I don’t know if Zhang Cheng was happy to drink, so he put down his glass and listened to the rhythm that was about to be finished. He immediately closed his eyes and talked about the rhythm that came out of the pavilion. However, the people from other tables on the side turned their eyes over: I don’t know if this person had a brain problem or did not understand the way of entertainment. More than a dozen beauties in front of him showed off their dance postures but closed their eyes to listen to the rhythm that was made by the strings.
When Zhang Cheng finished speaking, the sound of the piano disappeared, and the beauties dancing on the stage walked off the stage one by one. This naturally attracted the applause of the crowd below. At this moment, the woman in the dress sitting in the pavilion who played the piano also stood up and looked at Zhengyao, and at the same time she couldn't help but smile.
"Haha, I didn't expect that my brother would still have such research on this rhythm. Zhengyao was a little out of reach." Zhengyao smiled, and the peach blossom fan fan in his hand, and said thoughtfully.
Zhengyao naturally didn't study much about enjoying music. If he wanted to listen to Xu Song and Wang Leehom's songs, he might be able to say a song, but it would be good if he could understand this classical music. Even if he expressed some "amazing" opinions, it would be just a blind cat who met a dead mouse, talking nonsense and fooling around.
Zhang Cheng finally opened his eyes. When he heard Zhengyao say this, he immediately smiled awkwardly and said, "Where is, it's serious. But I have never heard of this song before, and I suddenly felt it, saying nonsense, and I can't be true, hehe..."
"You kid, you started pretending again, haha..." Yuan Haiyun did not forget to hit Zhang Cheng. Now Zhengyao and Ning An have not met each other, and Yuan Haiyun and Zhang Cheng are a pair of live treasures.
"Haha, hehe..." Zhang Cheng had to smile awkwardly, turn his head away, and ignore Yuan Haiyun. But at this moment, the woman playing the piano met, and the two pairs of eyes met without warning.
Zhang Cheng's first feeling was Zhang Cheng's first feeling, his face was like peach blossoms, his hair was like snow, his mouth was like orchids, and his eyes were like jade. It has to be said that the woman in front of him was indeed a beautiful woman, and she was not inferior to Zhu Luying and Ning'an and others.
"Hey, why are you stunned? Hello!"
Zhang Cheng opened his mouth wide at this moment, staring at the empty pavilion without turning around. He didn't react for a long time. Yuan Haiyun thought he was so angry that he was talking about Zhang Cheng. Who knew that his feelings were shaken in front of Zhang Cheng for a long time but he didn't react. So he patted Zhang Cheng's shoulder and said loudly.
Perhaps Zhang Cheng didn't understand why he had such a behavior. He had not seen the beauty before, but he had never been so embarrassed when he saw Ning'an Zhu Luying or Hua Qingyue. The old-fashioned nerd who had always existed like a piece of wood would be stunned at a woman at this moment. It seemed that Zhang Cheng's heart had finally matured.
Zheng Yao naturally saw all this, but he did not order clothes, but smiled happily, patted Zhang Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Brother, have dinner first. Maybe you will get what you wish for later!"
Zhengyao was already sure that the woman who was playing the piano just now must have a great background, maybe she was the so-called Xu Yuzhi. Now she looked here and thought that it was because Zhang Cheng had just evaluated her musical seat and attracted her attention. At the same time, the two of them had a spiritual resonance in this matter.
Of course, this is not because Zhengyao can see through people's thoughts, but he just happened to meet the look of the woman, and looking at him with the look, it should be Zhang Cheng. And from the look, you can appreciate an indescribable emotion, and this emotion can be called "sin-heartedness".
"Okay! It's almost time, and now it's time to get to the point! Now, I'll recommend some adults to you!" As he said that, Xu Jie stood up again, walked to his right, came to a white long bearded old man, and said, "This one is Gu Ruzhi, a Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy!"
After saying that, Xu Jie immediately clapped his hands to express his welcome, and applause came from the audience.
At this time, Zhengyao finally met Ning'an's teacher. It turned out that Gu Ruzhi was already seventy years old. Seeing his white hair, he was probably about to go.
However, when Gu Ruzhi stood up, he seemed to be upright and his eyes were bright, which made Zhengyao suddenly have the idea of slapping himself.
"This one is the commander of the Jinyiwei and the third Duke Lu Binglu! And the last one is the current cabinet chief minister and minister of the Ministry of Personnel Yan Song and Yan Song!" Xu Jie introduced Lu Bing and Yan Song, who were at the same table, and then said: "Since this time is a poetry and wine party, there are naturally poetry and wine! Now there are three adults present, so Xu has a short story. The purpose is to let the three adults be a witness. Later, Gu Ruzhi Gu will give the questions and let the three adults judge. Anyone who answers well will have corresponding rewards. Of course, if the girl is not talented, she will listen to the side and learn the literary talent of all the talents."
In fact, Xu Jie has already made it clear. In fact, he wants to use this to see who is the most talented, so that he can discuss Xu Yuzhi's marriage.
As soon as Xu Jie finished speaking, Gu Ruzhi, Lu Bing and Yan Song beside him all stood up one after another. However, Yan Song had dissatisfaction on his face. As the chief minister and the Minister of Personnel, he had the greatest official position, but unexpectedly, when Xu Jie introduced the person, he did not introduce himself first, which was too dissatisfied with him.
Of course, Xu Jie must have understood this, but he had not given Yan Song an invitation letter before. His uninvited arrival naturally made Xu Jie unhappy, but the other party's official position was higher than his, and the other party was considered a guest this time, so Xu Jie did not care too much, but just made a little "reward" in this regard.
