Chapter 125 Song and Dance
This apology made Lu Xun angry. The servants and maids below were making tea unhappy, but this was the lord's decision, so he couldn't say anything.
Zhou Yuanmo, who was standing aside, saw the whole process, but was not as angry as Lu Xun. Instead, he laughed in his heart. Ning Nanyou's naked sarcasm in his words, I'm afraid that the King of Wuhu would not hear it. Is it a noble family in the Wei Dynasty who cooked tea and served cold tea? After making tea, he deliberately cooled it down with cold water. Wouldn't it make people laugh? Only those who don't know how to taste tea think cold tea is a real tea ceremony.
The King of Wuhu really didn't understand the mockery in Ning Nanyou's words. Seeing that he had a banquet for him and drinking, his expression improved a little, he changed his tone and asked again: "Who is Chen Xu, the master who was so anxious just now? Can you tell me about the real thoughts of China and the North Korean people?"
He glanced at the other two sitting in the hall, with a sense of contempt in his eyes.
Seeing Meng Huan's despise appearance, Lu Xun felt anger in his heart, but he couldn't speak out. He could only hold back and didn't even bother to look at Meng Huan.
When Zhou Yuanmo heard Meng Jian mention Chen Xu, he hurriedly stood up from his seat and bowed to Meng Jian with a grand and respectful voice: "Good King, I am so anxious that the villain will leave for a moment."
"Since the king asked about the important matter, it is hard for the villain to continue to hide it. The leader of the Chinese and Korean contacts me sent someone to tell me that he would send someone here only tonight at the second hour of the Xu Dynasty. Because the other party's special identity, he really cannot come so rashly in the daytime, so we can only compromise." Zhou Yuanmo replied according to the previous discussion.
"The second hour of Xu?" Meng Huai looked a little strange when he heard the exact time, but then he thought about it and realized that Zhou Yuanmo had some truth.
After all, it is a secret spy from China and North Korea, so it is indeed inconvenient to come here in the daytime.
But I'm afraid that it would be a solution for him to stay in Lengquan Village. The people he brought are not by his side now, which really made him a little uneasy. He must not stay here alone before the meeting.
Meng Jian was ignorant and said, "Since that's the case, then Gu will come to Lengquan Village again at the second hour of Xu. Gu has a private house in Guangxin County, so he will go there for a short rest."
Seeing that Meng Huai was indeed asking to leave Lengquan Village as the lord expected, Lu Xun stepped forward and persuaded him, "This may be inappropriate."
Meng Jian glanced at him and asked coldly: "Who are you?"
Then Lu Xun introduced himself to Meng Jian: "King Bing, a martial artist is not talented, and it is Lu Xun, the general under the command of the King and the Marquis."
"Lu Chengzhong?" Meng Jian looked in his mind and finally summoned Lu Xun's name.
This surprised Zhou Yuanmo again. Unexpectedly, as Ning Nanyou said, Meng Huai knew Lu Xun very well. It seemed that Yu had told Meng Huai a lot about the matters about the Jingshu.
Lu Xun was also shocked, but his face calmly replied: "It's the last general."
Meng Jian sneered and asked, "Why are you talking about why it is inappropriate for me to leave Lengquan Village?"
"The king doesn't know anything. Recently, the prefect of Linhe Gu An seemed to have found evidence of Wu Hu's previous participation in the Linhe movement. At this time, he was eyeing Guangzhou. According to the last investigation, Guangxin County Magistrate Hu Guang and Gu An have a deep friendship and are very loyal to His Majesty of the Great Wei Dynasty. They are very careful in preventing and watching out for this place. I may not be able to deal with it. You are so famous in Guangzhou, and I think everyone here knows you. If you see any flaws, the meeting tonight will probably be ruined."
Lu Xun's word is pertinent and makes sense. Two days ago, Meng Jian received a secret letter from Guangxin County on the way, saying that the county magistrate Hu Guangzheng and the prefect of Cangwu discussed the strict prefect of the city and county. He was probably the violence he sent more or less to participate in this year. Some traces of the chaos were revealed, which made these Han people alert.
He thought for a while and said, "It doesn't matter where I am going, but I have always been alone. I hope that the Marquis of Huaiyin can place the guards brought by I am in the courtyard and live in the same place."
Since he can't go anywhere else, he must not be alone in this manor.
Seeing Meng Jian looking at him, Ning Nanyou put down the teacup in his hand and smiled, "It's OK. I just led my subordinates to stop the king's servant at the foot of the mountain just to welcome them. This time, I should have been repaired. If the king is worried, I can call them up."
Meng Huai was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ning Nanyou to agree so quickly. Could it be that he was too careful just now?
He thought that Ning Nanyou had other plans for him to take all his close servants to the foot of the mountain, but this time it seemed that it was not.
Meng Huai gradually let go of his guard.
The lieutenant sent by Huai Wang Ningzheng to the tribe, Earlier, once pointed out to him that if he wanted to accomplish this time, he would like to solve the spirit of the Marquis of Guannei and the Prefect of Linhe, and gain the jurisdiction of several places in Guangzhou, he would have to plan with the Marquis of Huaiyin.
Zeng Yu also said that he would not have to worry about whether the Huaiyin Marquis would be unfavorable to him. He said that this person was just an embroidered pillow. He was indeed very handsome, but he was not useful. He was timid all his life and never dared to contradict Ning Zheng's words. He was very strange in character and was very unwilling to like him.
It seems that this person is indeed very timid and dare not argue with him, as if he could respond to anything he said.
Thinking of this, Meng Jian became even more disdainful and snorted coldly: "There is still a Marquis of Huaiyin."
"Your Majesty, please be polite." Ning Nanyou hugged him and said respectfully: "There is still some time left for the second hour of the Xu period. The king was exhausted and he was also busy with food and rest. Because he had a good meal and rest, this marquis specially arranged a banquet and singing for the king, hoping that the king would enjoy his whole life."
The congratulations he deliberately pretended to be, and Meng Jian became a timid boy. It turned out to be a rumored child. Meng Jian had heard that the Huaiyin Marquis killed people without blinking, relying on his power to bully men and women, but in front of the Emperor of Wei, the King of Huai was as good as a dog, and he pleased others everywhere. Now it seems that it is not true. He also came to please him this time and specially held a banquet. I am afraid that the Huaiyin Marquis himself wanted to have fun, and he took advantage of this reason to put it down. As expected, he could not hide his dandy behavior anywhere.
Meng Huai thought privately, and unknowingly, he was less careful about Ning Nanyou.
"I am really tired. Since the Marquis of Huaiyin is willing, it is hard for me to refuse." He nodded and counted as agreeing.
Ning Nanyou raised his hand again. Then he heard the outside village call out to the court: "My music starts, and the song and dance are spread!"
Immediately afterwards, four or five musicians led seven or eight actors on the stage.
The musical sounds in the hall were flowing, pleasant and charming, and for a moment, the tense atmosphere arose due to the disaster was suppressed.
At this time, Jiang Chengjia, who was busy in the east kitchen, heard someone calling the name of the maid she pretended to be, and rushed out hurriedly.
I saw a little girl standing outside the stove and looking at her with some dissatisfaction.
Jiang Chengjia was stunned and said strangely: "Black tea? You call me?"
"Or who is it?" The little girl pouted and said angrily, "The singing and dancing in the front hall have begun. Why don't you wait? You were finally brought here by Mr. Zhou. Isn't you just want to perform well in front of him?"
"Have you started singing and dancing in the front hall?" Jiang Chengjia's face froze, and immediately changed into a look of annoyance and sighed, "Oh, I'm just concerned with having dinner for Mr. Zhou, and I forgot about this. Thank you for reminding me."
She shook the water droplets on her hand, pretended to be happy on her face, and immediately put down what she was doing and hurried to go to the front hall.
The little girl called black tea pulled her a little disgusted and sighed: "Are you planning to wear this outfit?"
Jiang Chengjia looked up and down at his long-sleeved clothes in his blue shirt and said, "Before coming to Dongchu, the manager asked me to change into this dance clothes. Isn't this clothes very good?"
Black Tea said, "Where is better? You can't show off your temperament at all." As he said, the little girl took out her left hand that had been hiding behind her back.
She handed Jiang Chengjia an extremely beautiful red wide-sleeved fairy skirt, which was hooked with golden thread on the skirt, and there were bunches of blooming crabapples, which looked very beautiful.
Jiang Chengjia was a little surprised and said, "Where did you get such a valuable dance costume? I can't wear it..." She hurriedly stuffed her skirt back into black tea's arms, shaking her head like a rattle.
Black Tea said impatiently, "It's always tight, you can put it on." She stuffed Jiang Chengjia's arms again, and without waiting for what she was saying, she rushed away, strode to the corridor and turned around and shook her hand, "Remember! Show it well!"
The little girl stood in the corridor and smiled happily at her.
Jiang Chengjia's nose felt sore before he knew it, and his heart was a little moved.
Seeing the little girl disappearing from the corridor, she came to her senses. She thought about the front hall carefully. No wonder the manager asked her to change into her dance clothes and go to the East Kitchen to help. It turned out that it was the Lengquan Village that prepared a banquet for the King of Wuhu tonight. Fortunately, she was alert just now and reacted.
But she didn't expect that the maid she knocked out was actually a singer. She was also interested in Zhou Yuanmo.
Jiang Chengjia curled her lips slightly. She was thinking about how to enter the front hall to serve and watch the situation. Now she doesn’t have to worry about this. She is a great cover for being a singer.
I think... Zhou Yuanmo brought the maid who knocked her out here for the sake of the Wuhu King Meng Jian. I heard that Meng Jian loved the women in Jiangnan very much. This maid looked very beautiful, with a standard oval face, and was a woman in Jiangnan.
She hurried back to the empty house in the backyard with the dance skirt in her hand, changed into the dress, and went to the thatched room to confirm whether the maid was still fainting. After everything was ready, she went to the front hall.
The head of the village seemed to be looking for her whereabouts. Seeing her standing in the outer courtyard with a noble and elegant dress, she was stunned for a long time, and then happily circled around her and said, "Beautiful, it's really beautiful! Go quickly. The musician has played three or four songs, and it's time for you to appear."
Jiang Chengjia nodded and walked into the hall with her skirt.
When she heard the sound of Guan Ju played inside, she knew that she was about to go on stage.
She hid behind a group of dancers wearing a red long dress in a green dress and slowly entered the field. After the dancers in front of her swayed their sleeves and jumped out of the lotus step and scattered, she suddenly rushed out of the heavy encirclement of the green leaves and appeared in front of everyone.
