Enter Chang Xiangsi and help Jingzhai fight
Chapter 45 Banquet
Fangfeng Bei sat at the table next to us and unceremoniously ordered some top-quality Yujiang wine, some preserved fruit cold dishes, and fed dried apricots to Xiaotao with his bare hands. Xiaotao smiled and clapped his hands, as if she had heard so many people talk, and finally ate it reluctantly.
Soon, a group of musicians and singers came and played cheerful music. The food and drinks were served in a stream. Xiaowei opened her eyes wide, looked left and right, and didn't know where to start.
This place is close to the water, and there are mostly river fish, so the dishes served are emerald shrimp balls, squirrel mandarin fish, and fried river shrimp with sauce. However, the cold dish platter, hot stir-fried vegetarian dishes, stewed barbecue dishes, cakes and desserts are all delicious, no wonder it has become the number one restaurant in this city of Chenyi.
The chief Feng Long cleared his throat, stood up with his glass in hand, the music stopped, and the people in the hall gradually quieted down.
Feng Long said in a clear voice: "Thank you all for coming from afar to escort the gifts. Although... well, I heard from the servants that we encountered some unexpected situations, but fortunately the brothers are fine. As long as people are fine, everything else is a small matter! Today we will calm everyone down and welcome them. Everyone can eat and drink as much as you want. We won't go home until we are drunk!"
Everyone in the hall shouted "Great!" "Thank you, sir!" "Don't go home until you're drunk!", and they all drank the wine in their glasses and started to pick up food.
The musicians closest to our table were whispering to each other when they were not playing music: "What's the accident? Do you know?"
"You don't know this? I just came back from Master Xu's house this afternoon. His nephew was the gatekeeper. He said it was a gift from Tushan Jiayun. But outside the city, his carriage and horses were robbed by thieves!"
"Oh my goodness! What kind of robber is so bold? How dare they rob the things that the Tushan family gave to the Chishui family?"
"Who wouldn't say that? Alas, the world is going downhill, and poverty is driving people crazy!"
"Have you reported it to the police? Has it been recovered?"
"They said in the afternoon that they had not reported it yet and that they would report it to Master Fenglong first for a decision. Didn't you see that Master is late? He must have gone to deal with this matter! We will not let them off easily after we catch them!"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, what gifts did you bring? Are they expensive?"
"I don't know about that, but the Tushan family has always been rich, so they must have valuable treasures to show off!"
After hearing this, I understood the purpose of Fenglong's arrangement of these people. They were the paparazzi on the front line! They were allowed to be present at the scene, and then they would tell the story in the next performance with exaggerated stories. Then the guests would spread the news by word of mouth, and it would definitely spread all over the city and eventually the whole world would know about it.
Sure enough, Feng Long toasted and asked the man who was sitting in the upper seat and introduced us outside the door: "Changbao, tell me how many things you have lost, so that I can have an idea when I track them down."
Changbao stood up and bowed deeply, then replied, "Master Fenglong, there is a set of golden cups and jade tables, two gold-threaded nanmu suitcases, two sets of silver spiritual armor, four sets of black iron swords, and twenty pieces of East China Sea spiritual stones. There is also a mutton-fat jade bottle, two white porcelain plum-patterned double-handled pots, and two mother-of-pearl red sandalwood boxes. Although they are not made of precious materials, they are the work of Liu Qiaojiang and Master Li, and are exquisitely crafted. They contain some spiritual medicines and elixirs. In addition, there are 500 taels of gold, 1,000 taels of silver, and some porcelain and silver wares."
I couldn't help but laugh secretly when I heard him report them like a stream. Tu Shanjing's list was so long that people who didn't know him would think he was going to propose marriage to Fenglong. If the thieves knew that the rags they robbed were reported as these treasures, they would probably report to the police immediately to protest their injustice. Otherwise, if they were caught and couldn't give up the stolen goods, they would be beaten to pieces and their lives would be over.
The musician next to him gasped in shock, patting his chest and sighing, "Oh my god! This is too much! Is the Tushan family so generous in giving away people?"
The singer at the side curled her lips and said, "You are ignorant! The Tushan family is the richest in the Great Wilderness. What does this little thing mean to them?"
The musician praised: "How generous! Oh, if I could go to Tushan Mansion to play the zither and see the world, my life would be worthwhile!"
The singer pouted again and said, "The second young master of the Tushan family is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, so I'm afraid he can't use you! I heard that he is not only talented, but also handsome and handsome. If I could meet him someday, my life would be worthwhile!" As she spoke, her eyes were already far away, as if she was yearning for him. Unfortunately, she didn't know that the person she longed for was sitting next to her, and she could see him by taking off the veil and hat.
Fangfeng Bei had been drinking the wine with his eyes narrowed. Suddenly he looked at us and said leisurely, "Brother, with all the delicious food and wine in front of us, why don't you pick up your chopsticks?"
Tu Shanjing turned to him and said calmly: "Thank you for your concern. I'm not hungry at the moment."
Fang Fengbei smiled and said, "In my opinion, you are in need of someone to toast you! Come, I will toast you with a glass of wine. I wonder if you can give me some face?"
Tu Shanjing's hand on the table moved slightly, and then he gently took off his hat. I looked up and couldn't help but stay there.
His originally fair skin had become duller and rougher, with lines on the sides of his lips and two faint wrinkles on his forehead. He looked like a middle-aged man. However, his facial features had not changed much. His eyes had become narrower and longer, and his nose was still as straight as if it had been cut by a knife or an axe. He was still a handsome middle-aged man with outstanding temperament - if you hadn't seen his previous immortal talent.
I took a sip of wine to calm myself down, thinking to myself, if you were to change your appearance, you should have told me in advance, otherwise I would not be able to complain if you changed my handsome young man into nothing? Fortunately, I knew you had the ability to change your appearance, otherwise I would have shouted out, did the thieves kidnap my young man?
Even so, the singer still stared at Tu Shanjing intently, with an intoxicated look on her face. Yes, sometimes, middle-aged people who have experienced a little vicissitudes of life and are sensible and interesting are sometimes more considerate and gentle than young people. Some people like this kind of thing.
Fang Fengbei smiled and said, "Mr. Bai is handsome and elegant. I'll offer you a toast."
Tu Shanjing stretched out his bare hand and poured himself a glass of wine, toasting him from a distance: "Mutual, mutual. Master Fangfeng is polite."
The two of them toasted with a smile, but their eyes were fixed on each other. When he put down his glass, Xiao Tao cleverly refilled his glass. I saw that I couldn't lose, so I took the wine pot and poured Tu Shanjing some wine.
Fang Fengbei said again: "I wonder where you are from, and how you make a living? I have never seen such a gentleman before, what a pity!"
Tu Shanjing smiled and said, "I am not from a prominent family, so it is normal that Master Fangfeng has never seen me. To be honest, I used to run a small business in my early years, but now my business has failed, so I am returning to my hometown with my family to live a good life."
