Huan Rong

Huan Rong was curious, but he didn't have a chance to ask the identity of this person, and he was invited to the other side of the bamboo bridge.

The music played again, with a simple and ancient rhyme.

Suddenly there was a gust of fragrant wind blowing, and the sound of ring pendants jingling came into my ears.

Dozens of beautiful maidservants in long-sleeved Confucian clothes, silk belts around their waists, and high buns came out from behind the pavilion.During the movement, the skirt swayed like water waves.

The beauties of Jasper Nianhua walked to the bamboo bridge one by one, and their shadows were reflected in the water, like fairies descending from the clouds.People have not crossed the bridge, and the singing has been integrated into the spring breeze, attracting praises.

"It's hard to thank Brother Xie for his kind thoughts!"

Huan Rong blinked, was this arranged by Xie Xuan?

"Naturally." Wang Xianzhi said with a smile, "Grand Xie let his love go to Dongshan, and he is famous all over the world for raising singing girls. How can Brother Rong not know?"

Huan Rong twitched the corner of his mouth and nodded indiscriminately.

The celebrities of the Jin Dynasty were unrestrained and uninhibited, and they were different.

There is Liu Ling who likes to play with celestial bodies in front of the guests, and Ruan Xian who plays the drum and piano "drinking with pigs". These two belong to the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Grove.In contrast, Xie An's Yangmeiren can be regarded as a portable karaoke at best, and it can be used as a jukebox, which is really nothing.

Walking to the end of the bamboo bridge, the beauties parted from the left and right, leading the gentlemen to enter the seats on both sides.Then he knelt and sat beside the low couch, pouring wine and serving chopsticks for everyone.

There are also beautiful maidservants who enter the pavilion and unfold the standing screen so that they can deliver letters and recite poems to the noble girls in the middle of the banquet.

After everyone was seated, more than ten musicians walked out.

Most of the musicians are men, wearing square mountain crowns on their heads, holding four-stringed Ruan, Zheng, Sheng and other musical instruments, and sit in the open space between the seats.

When the music started, several slender and graceful women in Han Dynasty dance clothes whirled out.

The white wrists are like snow, gently intertwined on the top of the hair; the waist and limbs are swayed, sometimes bent sharply, like a weak willow supporting the wind.

The sound of the woman stepping on the strings, while spinning, the colorful skirt flew away like flowing clouds.

"In the Han Dynasty, Mrs. Qi was good at dancing with her sleeves up and her waist bent. Although the dancers here are not as beautiful as Qi Ji, they still have a bit of Chu dance style."

Huan Rong turned his head and found that it was an unfamiliar face who spoke.

Like most of the people present, he was wearing a long-sleeved gown, with his hair untied and draped casually behind his back, looking unrestrained and unrestrained.He has a handsome face, especially a pair of peach blossom eyes, which are particularly bewitching.

only……

Huan Rong swept over the speaker, and then turned to Yu Youzhi on the other side.At first glance, the two are three or four points alike.

"Brother Rong doesn't recognize me?"

Huan Rong was a little taken aback.

He only memorized the names of the family tree, and preliminarily clarified the relationship between the Jiankang clan.This guy didn't give his name or name, but only relied on his face, so he really didn't know what kind of relationship they were with each other.

"This lord is the son of the governor of Dongyang, and the husband of the lord's sister."

A Gu reminded in a low voice behind him, and Huan Rong suddenly understood.This is Yu Xuan, his cousin-in-law.

According to the current addressing habits, in order to show politeness, they are either called "cong sister-in-law" or "same cousin brother-in-law". The word "cousin brother-in-law" has not yet appeared.

Huan Rong cupped his hands sideways, Yu Xuan smiled and shook his head.

"Shangsi Festival is really a day of celebration, Brother Rong doesn't need to be formal."

Yu Xuan leaned against the side of the couch, the maid did not need to order, she picked up the wine spoon in her plain hand, scooped out the fine wine from the bottle, and slowly filled the wine container.

"Brother Rong can call me."

After drinking the full glass, Yu Xuan turned the wine glass upside down, propped his chin with one hand, and narrowed his peach eyes slightly.Unintentionally, the fingertips brushed against the back of the handmaid's hand, causing the maiden's face to be rosy and her eyes full of spring.

The corner of Huan Rong's mouth trembled.

This one is obviously a little drunk, so it's better to be vague and say a few words.

Say more and make more mistakes, say less and make fewer mistakes.

I heard that Yu Xi and Yu You brothers are at odds, but they are brothers and belong to a family.I and Yu Xuan are only relatives by marriage, and the latter's father-in-law and Huan Da Sima also have a heart-to-heart relationship. After calculation, the relationship between the two may not be "friendly".

"Brother Rong is too worried."

Yu Xuan seemed to know what Huan Rong was thinking, glanced at the other side, and said calmly: "My elder brother is the only son of my uncle, and he is often protected by his uncle. It is a waste of time to persuade uncle."

Huan Rong was picking up a sago, when he heard this, he paused in the middle.

"A few days ago, everyone in the family knew what my brother did. I don't agree with what my uncle did."

Putting down Sha Guo, Huan Rong slowly turned his head.

His eyes swept over the maidservant beside them, and then looked at Yu Xuan's indifferent appearance, obviously he didn't care that these words were spread, maybe it was just to reach the ears of Yu Xi and Yu Youzhi?

"My lord once said that my elder brother hurt others first, so I should have made amends."

Yu Xuan looked at Huan Rong with a smile, his cheeks were reddish, he looked drunk, but his eyes were clear and he was not drunk at all.

"Uncle's actions are really inappropriate, not what the Yu family wanted, I hope Brother Rong can know."

Huan Rong nodded, knowing very well in his heart that these words were not addressed to him, but to Princess Nankang and Sima Huan.

From this point of view, Yu You is indeed a rare understanding person.He knows how to see the current situation clearly and protect himself wisely.If he came to be the head of the Yu family, [-]% of them would be completely different from Yu Xi.

"From what my brother-in-law said, let me remember."

"Brother Rong sees me, just call me."

Huan Rong twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, and said, "Rong is ashamed, may I ask brother-in-law's name?"

Yu Xuan: "..."

Dare to say it for a long time, this young gentleman is not respected from the heart, but because he doesn't know what his word is?

Yu Xuan was suddenly "injured".

The two talked enthusiastically, which naturally attracted Yu Youzhi's attention.

Thinking of Yu You's quarrel with his uncle, and repeatedly persuading his father to discipline him, Yu Youzhi was full of resentment, and slowly closed his fingers, almost breaking the wine cup.

Seeing Huan Yi sitting cross-legged at the banquet, with a wine cup in one hand and a lamb leg in the other, he seemed to be eating and chewing like no one else, and his expression was even more disgusted.Relying on a bit of alcohol, he scolded: "Such an idiot, how can he deserve to sit in the banquet!"

The stranger, who was noticed by Huan Rong earlier, was discussing wine with Xie Xuan.Hearing the angry reprimand, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Youdu, the speaker is from the Yu family?"

"Yes." Xie Xuan didn't bother to look at Yu You, and said to Qin Jing who was staring at him, "The idiot he is talking about is the fourth son of Nanjun Gong."

"In the early years, our family ancestors made friends with Marquis Ting, the capital of the Yu family." Qin Jing retracted his gaze and stroked the wine cup with his long fingers. The fat color almost overwhelmed the sapphire. "I didn't expect that the children and grandchildren of the Yu family were so unlucky."

Xie Xuan didn't speak.

Following Qin Jing's belittlement of the Yu family was not what he wanted, and it was unrealistic to refute the other party, so he simply toasted and drank.

Unlike the aristocratic families in Nandu, the Qin family has always stayed in the north.Although not well-known in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, its ancestors can be traced back to the period of King You of the Western Zhou Dynasty.

To be precise, "Qin" was changed later, separated according to the ancient surname and surname. His surname is Zhao and his surname is Ying.It has a blood relationship with the Qin Dynasty royal family that swept away Liuhe.

After the chaos of the Qin Dynasty and the rise of the Han Dynasty, the decline of the Han Dynasty, the rise of the Three Kingdoms, the decline of the Jin Dynasty, and the chaos of the Five Huns, the Qin family has always stood firm in the north.

It is rumored that the fighting power of Qin's Wubao is comparable to that of the Qihuo army in its heyday.The Patriarch of the Qin Clan is no worse than Ran Min who issued the "kill Hu order" back then, but he is not much worse.

No matter Di people or Xianbei people, they dare not underestimate this Han power.He sent people to recruit him several times and promised many benefits, but it was a pity that the Qin family remained unmoved, like a nail firmly stuck in the Northland.

Compared with Qianqin, Qianyan is more troublesome.

Qin's Wubao was built at the junction of Bingzhou and Jingzhou, most of which were located in Xihe County.While guarding against the Di people, we must also guard against the forces of the Han people who are more vicious than the Hu people.If you send troops to crusade, you are afraid that the Di people will take advantage of the loopholes.

Neither left nor right, really gave Murong a headache for a while.

Now, former Yan Taizai Murong Ke and Shen Ke are not recovering, and his life is not long.The internal turmoil in Qianyan, the clan and courtiers scrambled for power and profit, and the Di army led by Fu Jian stared at each other. The situation in the north could be described as imminent.

As the most outstanding child of the Qin family, Qin Jing chose this time to go south secretly, and the reasons behind it are really worthy of scrutiny.

"I have been in Jiankang for a few days, and I have observed the atmosphere of the court carefully. It may not be better than Murong Xianbei."

The master is weak and the minister is strong, this is the taboo of the monarchy.

It is a pity that at the beginning of the establishment of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it was established that the royal family and noble families shared the world.Director Wang passed away, and Xie An took over.After Xie An, there must be many successors.What's more, there is Huan Wen, a powerful minister in the middle.

After watching it for several days, Qin Jing couldn't help sighing secretly.

The Jin family is like this, and the Northern Expedition that grandfather and father expected to unify the Central Plains may be difficult to achieve.

"Mr. Nanjun is an unborn hero."

Not to mention Huan Wen's role in the Eastern Jin court, but he presided over the Northern Expedition twice and defeated the Xianbei and Di people successively. In the eyes of the Han people in the north, his status is quite high.

"Before the trip, the lord of the family asked me to meet Nanjun Gong in person."

Qin Jing raised her head, her handsome face revealed a bit of sharpness.A tear mole at the corner of the eye shows her charm, but does not lose her heroic spirit.

"I also hope Mr. Xie can make it easier."

Xie Xuan nodded.

Although Xie An advocated the learning of Lao Tzu, he used more Confucian classics when educating the children of his family.It can be inferred that he did not have the idea of ​​the Northern Expedition, but it was not yet the right time.

"Xuanmin's intention, I will convey it to my uncle. In the middle of the month, the Great Sima will return to Jiankang. If Xuanmin wishes to stay for a few more days, it must be feasible."

"good."

Qin Jing nodded, picked up the wine cup and drank with Xie Xuan.The lips were soaked in wine, dazzling like a ruby.

The music gradually stopped, and the dance gradually stopped.

A wooden lotus leaf slowly floats down from the upper reaches of the stream, holding a full wine glass on it.

More than a dozen maidservants walked out, holding pens, ink, paper and inkstones and counting rolls of bamboo slips.As the lotus leaf stopped in front of the No. 1 man, the most exciting "preserved item" of the Shangsi Festival, Qushui Liushang, kicked off.

Everyone's eyes moved with the glass of wine, even the little lady in the pavilion was no exception.

Huan Rong was biting the fruit, but had other thoughts in his mind.

The lotus leaves go down the water, and there are many steep places during the process.Although the wine is spilled, the glass is never turned over.

What is the reason for this, could it be that the magnet is hidden?

Just when he was puzzled, a gentleman swiped his brush and wrote a poem in praise of spring.It's just that the content was mediocre and didn't attract much praise.

Lang Jun sat down with his wrists down, the lotus leaf started to flutter again, passed several people one after another, and finally stopped in front of Huan Rong.
