Chapter 147
Shui Qingqian and the others quickly went down to the first floor, the stairs were facing the entrance of the hall, and they were about to go out after a few more steps, but they were suddenly stopped by someone from behind. As soon as he stepped down, he even attracted the attention of the guests in the hall.
"Young master, I don't agree with this. A few taels of silver can indeed buy a few cups and cups in the ordinary world, but we are Cong Jinfang here. Since the fifth year of Tianshun, we have never missed Cong Jinfang on the Huakui list. How can we give Ladies and gentlemen, you can use the common street goods that you can buy on ordinary streets..." The old bustard held her forehead and came down from the stairs gracefully. A pair of graceful and magnanimous shelf, "Each set of tea sets and each pattern is specially formulated. The sage Wang Shu left a handwritten letter. In the Song Dynasty, Master Liu mentioned love poems, and there are also Chinese painting masters. The February Flower God..."
What?
Shui Qingqian's footsteps stopped, his father had such a dark history! ?
Look, a young man is in vain if he is not romantic!Shui Qingqian's small eyes drifted towards Ji Zhao, becoming more righteous.
Ji Zhao: Eighth or nine times out of ten, it's the nonsense of this old bustard.
But Ning Renhou (Eleventh Lang) messed around for a while in the second term of middle school, so Ji Zhao didn't dare to speak out.Of course, Ji Zhao still prefers that the other party is bluffing.
"I didn't want to brag about this, but I just told you, we are not an ordinary small family here. If you really want to pay us for the teacup, I don't think you can come up with the same thing, but just... I don’t dare to ask for a little bit! If you tell me, I’m afraid people won’t laugh at you.”
Having said so much, I just mean the same thing. The compensation of five taels of silver is not taken seriously by others, or they want to sit on the ground and raise the price, and make a mistake?
Sitting at the VIP seat closest to the stage, there were three young men with good temperament. From the seats and clothing, they seemed to be the distinguished guests of Cong Jinfang.Unlike the other guests who were enthusiastically gossiping and watching the scene, they chatted by themselves, and didn't particularly care about the dispute over there. The main reason was that one of the young people seemed to have a calm temper, and the other two were calmed down by his attitude.
They didn't deliberately turn around to watch the gossip, but when they heard that they were bragging about some holy inscriptions and painting with big hands, the youngest among them still couldn't help but bring the teacup closer and take a closer look at it. : The things in teahouses are more exquisite than ordinary teahouses, and they are fine products in folk kilns.
"Chang Ping, I made you laugh." The oldest young man first confessed to the steady young man, then raised his hand, slapped the young young man on the back of the head affectionately, and scolded with a smile, "Why, Do you really believe it?"
"I don't want to believe it, but she is so upright! I feel a little guilty when I say it." So I couldn't help but verify it with my own eyes, and the result, of course, was haha.
"She's not smart enough to do this." Brother Chang Ping said succinctly.
The other two young masters agree, it's the reason.You are a mother in charge, and someone is causing trouble on your own site. Instead of quickly extinguishing the fire and smoothing out the matter, you will follow the turmoil and make troubles bigger and bigger. What do your guests think?We came here for fun, to watch you quarrel?Not to mention, there are still suspicions of bragging and extorting money, which is too cheap.
"This mother Song is new, and it's far worse than the previous one." The elder son explained one more sentence, he is a local snake, the eldest son of the Anzhou Chief Secretary Li's family, and has the highest status in Anzhou. Of course, he had to choose a good place to entertain distinguished guests. Cong Jinfang has been famous for so many years, so there is nothing wrong with choosing this place. Who knew that such bad things would happen.Even if he and Chang Ping are old friends and have no relationship, but the well-arranged one-night entertainment has turned into the current situation, and Mr. Li feels shameful. "Fortunately, Miss Yanyan's sword dance is still very novel." Mr. Li excused himself, "Hey, I heard people say that this dance was passed down from the imperial capital. Have you seen it?"
Seen.
The beauty is in the bones but not the skin, and there is not even a three-point similarity, which is far away.
But this was the wish of an old friend, so this distinguished guest Zhuang Shaoyin concealed the facts, and simply said, "I have heard of it. Unfortunately, I don't have good eyesight."
"Cough, it's okay. Girl Yanyan has danced very well, and the one you missed may not be... Ah, everyone is here. Girl Yanyan is here."
Feng Yanyan, as a pillar, must only serve the most distinguished guests. This strange son from the imperial capital can make Li Daya willingly accompany him, and his status must be extraordinary. Therefore, no matter how many people order her tooth cards today No matter how many hidden bets those people placed, she would only accompany this noble son from the imperial capital.As a pillar with a reserved status, she really didn't need to come out so early, but when she was secretly observing backstage just now, she caught a look of impatience on that Mr. Zhuang's face, so she hurriedly put on a smiling face and came out to accompany the wine.
After a round of drinking, Miss Yanyan began to make small grievances in the chat, "It's really damnable to disturb the elegant mood of the young masters. But I can't blame Mother Song, she just wants to shame those people in public, young master, don't you You know how much they abused people upstairs just now, if you don't let out such a bad breath, we sisters will lose face in the future."
The beauty made a toast, and without saying a few words, she rounded up the unbearable scene over there. The point is, the beauty is acting coquettishly, angry, wronged, loving... It's all amorous feelings, two words: look at her face.Therefore, with this resentment and anger statement, it will be easier to cleanse the girls of Cong Jinfang.In Feng Yanyan's mouth, their sisters are all little white flowers under the moonlight, so weak, so innocent, so innocent, so pitiful and helpless.She didn't say a word about the other party's domineering and rude behavior. Anyway, the one who threw pots and bowls and hit people had already started yelling. The girl from Taizhu only faintly stirred up the common hatred of the young masters in the statement: Those two guests The honored guest cards were all given to their servants, entourages, and nurses, and they were asked to bid for the sisters' night home. They didn't look like ordinary guests, they came here on purpose to spoil the situation.
Other things can be tolerated, but giving the tooth card to the servant is too much!With the self-cultivation of these three young masters, I also felt slapped in the face: What do you mean?You are the richest and most honorable, so your servants can join us in grabbing flower girls?Are you looking down on the girl from Huafang, or are you looking down on other guests?Oh, we are a group of officials' children, gentry wealthy families, merchants and rich merchants are of the same level as your servants?
Where did the nouveau riche come from, he's quite tough!
Feng Yanyan secretly changed the concept quietly, which was tantamount to drawing the guests to his side.After the position was subtly twisted 180 degrees, the officials and young masters looked at the mother in charge's unrelenting slapstick and cheating. Although it was still not good-looking, it seemed that it was acceptable psychologically.
While the few of them were talking, Shui Qingqian over there was already doubting life.He is in the imperial capital, and the scope of all kinds of righteousness includes but is not limited to the parents, the masters of the imperial school, the big men of the military department and his good friend and little follower... When did he lose?Today, he met an epic opponent: a quack bustard.
It's really shameless!
Dropping a broken tureen, she has reached the height of the history and art of her country at this moment. Five taels of silver can buy a box of tea bowls. The five major official kilns in Chao Dynasty may not be enough to compensate her for a set of tea sets.Hehe, 200 taels of silver, have you ever seen a young man carrying a box of silver to drink flower wine?Aren't you afraid of dying of exhaustion on the way?So, Shui Qingqian didn't think she was doing it for money at first, probably because of his style of being a rich man just now, so he used this to mock him?However, as she changed the topic next, Shui Qingqian knew that she was wrong. Qingqian's bracelet—that is, the jasper-based ivory openwork bracelet inlaid with two sea dragon pearls that Ji Zhao gave him—wanted to use his bracelet as collateral for compensation.
Is she crazy?
Shui Qingqian laughed angrily on the spot, and he turned to look at Ji Zhao, who looked indifferent, with the aura of calming sea magic needle.This old bustard may not understand the preciousness of sea pearls, but the jasper and ivory used for that bracelet are tribute-level treasures, and the quality of ordinary jewelry on the market must be far worse than this one.These people in the rivers and lakes probably thought they had caught the fat sheep.As everyone knows, for this kind of fine-quality jewelry, your status is not high enough, even possessing it is considered a crime.
Shui Qingqian was carefully taught by Ning Renhou since he was a child, and later he was the closed disciple of Mr. Zhong who educated everyone. He was also influenced by the royal etiquette by the side of Emperor Jiayou for a long time. widely accepted.In the final analysis, their upbringing standard is that even swearing and fighting are called "behavior and demeanor"-so, facing this greedy old bustard, Shui Qingqian's reaction should be to smile lightly and wave his clothes Don't take away a piece of cloud with your sleeves, what is the weather of your son.
but……
Fuck it!
Shui Qingqian's temper suddenly exploded,
You ungrateful animal!
Fuck your dignity!
Fuck you bully!
Why doesn't she die!
A group of shameless dancing kabuki copying dogs, and an even more shameless old bustard!
Shui Qingqian turned his face, and smiled, "You want me to pay for this bracelet?" He raised his hand, shook the bracelet on it, and caught the greedy eyes of the old bustard, "Okay, come get it Let's go." Shui Qingqian took the bracelet off his hand, Ji Zhao looked unclear and did not stop it. "After you get it, we'll settle it, right?" Shui Qingqian pinched the bracelet and raised her eyebrows.
"Of course." The old bustard reached out to take it, and Shui Qingqian was waiting for her to take it. The moment the two handed over, suddenly an uncertain question popped up not far from the side,
"Ning... Shui, Mr. Shui?"
Shui Qingqian's eyes flashed, he took a deep breath, his hand sank slightly, and he dropped the bracelet into the palm of the old bustard, then he turned around with his strength, and saw a young man in his 20s standing in front of the VIP Xi stood up, that person's eyes were a little uncertain, but when he saw Shui Qingqian's face turned away, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he stepped forward to meet him.
Familiar, seen!
Shui Qingqian also recognized it immediately, she was not familiar with it, but she must have seen it in the imperial capital.Shui Qingqian deeply settled his inner emotions, Ji Zhao took two steps to stand behind Shui Qingqian, Zhuang Changping also walked a few steps quickly, "Master Shui, it's really you."
"Zhuang, Brother Zhuang." Shui Qingqian remembered it in time at the last second, then smiled, with a decent air of a big family boy, "I didn't expect to see you here."
"It's a coincidence that I went back to my hometown on behalf of my father to set up a sacrificial field, and passed through Anzhou... Uh," while exchanging greetings, Zhuang Changping glanced at Ji Zhao behind Shui Qingqian, his heart skipped a beat, and he was almost caught by himself. Choking on saliva, he read it right, is this His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Zhuang Changping's father was already a member of the high-ranking official circles from the official position to the Minister of the Household Department. As long as he attended the big festivals and celebrations in the palace, he would definitely have the opportunity to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. It might not be close enough to face to face, but in the imperial capital , If you don’t know anyone, you dare not be unfamiliar with real powerful figures.Judging from his appearance, Zhuang Changping felt that this was His Highness the Crown Prince, but he was not sure in his heart, because His Highness should be in the palace, and there was no reason to appear in Anzhou. There was no rumor, it was unreasonable and illogical.But he expanded his sight range and scanned, and saw several Jinwu guards farther away, and immediately confirmed that they must be the close guards of the prince. The officialdom is more approachable and familiar.
So, really... His Highness the Crown Prince? ? ! !
Zhuang Changping felt that he could hardly maintain his calm expression.
Shui Qingqian introduced to Ji Zhao, "This is the eldest son of the Zhuang family, the eldest brother of Sister Fangfei's husband's family." Brother Zhao and Meng Shaogang are young friends, and they must also know the female man of Sister Fangfei.
Ji Zhao nodded. As soon as he said his surname was Zhuang, he thought of the newly-appointed servant of the household department, Mr. Zhuang Gongzhuang.
"Okay, okay, my father is in good health, and everything is fine with the yamen's business, please greet me, uh," Zhuang Changping didn't know how to address him.
Ji Zhao, "Brother, you can call me by my name, sir."
Zhuang Changping, "Don't dare, Brother Zishang, please call me Changping. Oh, I also came with friends..." He motioned for his friends in the seat to hurry over and say hello.
Shui Qingqian saw Zhuang Changping's seat, he was the honored guest among the guests.In the territory of Anzhou, it is estimated that there will be no yamen with a higher status than him, so his two friends, if they are also yamen, their status should not be as good as him.The current situation where they meet by chance, the overall atmosphere is not very happy, it can even be said to be a bit embarrassing, but Zhuang Changping has not forgotten to introduce his friend to the current prince.
Of course, Zhuang Changping would do this because he would not pay attention to Huafang Up and Down.Meeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the eldest son of Ningrenhou's Mansion by chance is a rare opportunity to get in touch. How could he be tied up because of a flower boat?For these rich men of the upper class, the flower boat is just a boring pastime, flattening and rubbing is just a word, what kind of conflict, shame, these places that others value, they want it to not exist, it does not exist.
Because of the bracelet, Shui Qingqian was about to smash the scene publicly, but was unexpectedly interrupted by Zhuang Changping, and then the whole atmosphere changed.Mr. Zhuang and his friends obviously have high status. Among the distinguished guests, what kind of dancer is the dancer? People were immediately turned over by Xianyu, and I am afraid that they will no longer be regarded as nouveau riche and wealthy, and be looked down upon by others.
As long as they are not stupid.
Of course the old bustard is not stupid, she would not be so blind as to roam the rivers and lakes.No matter how greedy she is, the bottom line is that she dares to provoke her only if she can afford it.Wouldn't the old birthday star hang himself if he was reckless when he encountered someone he couldn't afford?After all, she is just an old bustard, who dares to offend her.Although Zhuang Changping and the others didn't mention any official names in their greetings, who doesn't know that Mr. Li is the number one yamen in Anzhou?He came over to say hello to this group of guests in person, so can they be easy to mess with?
The old bustard suddenly changed his face miraculously, rushed up and down and became small.Holding the bracelet in both hands, she followed Shui Qingqian's buttocks with a big smile on her face, "Master, sir... this bracelet of yours is really ingenious. I am lucky enough to have a look at it twice. How many times have I accumulated?" The blessings of this life, thanks to the young master who did not dislike to open the eyes of this old slave, this treasure is too precious, please take it back quickly." At that time, it was like phlegm obsessed with the heart, and it was very valuable to be greedy for this thing, now After pondering the taste, the old bustard felt that his hands were soft and he couldn't hold it steadily. Look at the materials, workmanship, and exquisite design of this wrist bracelet. How can it be something that ordinary people can come across?
Shui Qingqian looked at the smiling face of the old bustard, moved his eyes to the bracelet she was holding, and then moved back to the flattering face of the old bustard, suddenly smiled, "The last one who dared to snatch something from me, Who do you think he is?"
The old bustard shivered, and for some reason she felt cold all over, Shui Qingqian's beautiful smile made her feel cold from the bottom of her heart, and she almost couldn't hold things in her hands.
Shui Qingqian stretched out her hand, "Hold it carefully, but don't drop it. I'll let you know how hot the thing you want is."
