shock!She can travel through time

Chapter 144

A famous courtesan is not just beautiful, but she has to dabble in both piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she must have some attainments in poetry and quick thinking to be a nobleman, and to be an officer when playing wine orders at banquets.

Lin Wanwan felt a little ashamed, she might be a writer today, it's better not to be too difficult, keep it simple, otherwise she might be useless even with many ancient poems hidden in her belly.

Everyone sat down, and Lin Wanwan saw County Magistrate Lu on the main seat, a fat man in his forties, with a belly that seemed to be several months pregnant, with a mustache, and a smiling Maitreya appearance, very kind, Listen to him laughing and saying: "Play drum music, please have a few glasses of wine first to cheer you up."

As the jeweled geisha lady took out a pipa and started to play, after the drums joined, the geisha who had been waiting for a long time came out one by one, with bright eyes, swaying skirts, like water and clouds, dancing with the rhythm of the tune dance.

Lin Wanwan took a sip of the sanle jelly, happily admiring the singing and dancing of the Tang geisha.

Among these people, the one who played the pipa was a well-known courtesan in West Lake, Hangzhou, while the rest were female musicians from the Jiaofang Division, all of which were of a relatively high level.

Seeing the rise, County Magistrate Lu propped up his food table, his fat body suddenly opened his teeth and claws and began to sway, singing songs full of ancient rhyme, twisting his hips and sleeves, without the dignity of an official.

Lin Wanwan watched in amazement, this banquet has just begun, did you get excited?At this pace, Ya Ling doesn't need to appear on stage, does he?

Dancing and dancing, Lu County Magistrate Wu came up to Xiao Chong. The latter picked up the wine glass and drank it down in one gulp, then pushed the food table, stood up long, and swayed from side to side with his uncle.After dancing for a while, County Magistrate Lu went to the next gentleman, Xiao Chong sat down calmly, and returned to his calm appearance, as if the dancer just now was not him at all.

The gentlemen who were invited by County Magistrate Lu all had a tacit understanding, they got up and spun, jumped, and I closed my eyes in coordination.Including Lin Wanwan's two uncles, no one was left behind.

While the ladies sitting in the back row watched the scene of demons dancing in the center of the arena, covered their mouths and smiled lightly, also beaming with joy.

To be honest, although the people who participated in this banquet were all nobles of the Tang Dynasty, their ballroom dancing looks no different from those of the fishermen in Linjiazhuang!

Lin Wanwan could even say that they were not as good at dancing as Lin Mengbo and others. If it was a dance fight, this group of short, fat and oily men would definitely lose, and only Xiao Chong was more decent.

During the banquet, the male host showed great enthusiasm for inviting the guests to sing and dance. It can be seen that the county magistrate Lu is in a good mood today.Also, who can be in a bad mood when eating, drinking and having fun during the Chinese New Year.

When she was in the countryside, Lin Wanwan invited the clansmen to have a whole sheep banquet, and when they went to Xingqi, they danced together regardless of gender.But the noble family obviously paid more attention to it. At this banquet, only the gentlemen were pulled up by the magistrate Lu to fight and dance, and the little ladies just covered their mouths and watched the show.

It can be seen that although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty is open, there are still differences between men and women among the nobles, and they do not mix dances.Even so, compared to the later dynasties where women were not eligible to meet outside men, Datang was much more friendly to women.

After the opening dance, the place heated up.

The famous courtesan Mrs. Song put down her pipa, sat down on the side, and acted as a "beautiful banquet", and the drinking order was about to begin.

"There are a lot of guests today, so everyone played a simple poem and law, and I proposed a topic of Wing Chun. I first said, 'The spring breeze does not understand the ruthless water'."

After all, he drank a cup.

The next person ordered after drinking: "The flowers in the spring forest are so beautiful."

They were connected one by one, and they got stuck when they got to Xiao Jingkun. All the verses he could think of had already been said in advance. It was really not right, so he simply ate a large glass of fine wine with a smile. This person doesn't mind being a buffoon. .

Then the rules were changed and the orders continued. When it was Lin Wanwan's turn, there were already four or five people in front of them who had been fined alcohol, and the difficulty of the alcohol orders became more and more difficult.

At first it was just rhyming, but when it came to Lin Wanwan, she had to ask for "dragon" to contain allusions. This made Lin Wanwan, who has always swallowed poems wholeheartedly, take up the trick.

Seeing that Lin Wanwan didn't come out right, Mrs. Song was about to beat the small drum in her hand, when Lin Wanwan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said: "Wuhua Tianbao, Longguang shoots at the market of Niudou."

Lady Song laughed and said, "Although it's not a poem, I said earlier that both poems and songs are fine. What Lady Lin said about Niu and Dou are all the names of stars. According to the Book of Jin·Zhang Hua Chuan, there is often purple energy between the two stars Niu and Dou. Shining, the essence of the sword, reaches up to the sky, barely counts."

Lin Wanwan bowed her hands to Mrs. Song, admiring her erudition.

You must know that although the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" was required to be recited in full in high school, after four years of university, Lin Wanwan could no longer remember the allusions in this first parallel prose in the ages, but felt that the parallel prose was full of allusions, and she was blind only one.

And this Miss Song who was in front of Xi Jiu came here without saying anything. Compared with people like them who have been immersed in this way since childhood, Lin Wanwan really can't compare.

Xiao Qingyu, who was eating fruit and gown meat, didn't understand the drinking orders of the adults at all, but her own mother came out, she understood, and immediately raised two oily little hands to pat, and expressed admiration. Looking at Lin Wanwan, she said, "Mother is so amazing!"

Lin Wanwan was ashamed, she was so powerful.As soon as she breathed a sigh of relief, Lin Wanwan felt a gaze hit her. Looking back, it was Xiao Chong who was looking at her with a smile in his eyes.

Lin Wanwan frowned slightly, why did she feel that this guy was watching her as a joke!She also thought that when the two met for the first time, she called "Master Xiao", and the other party also looked like this, watching her make jokes with a half-smile, but she didn't remind her, so she couldn't help but glared at Xiao Chong, who couldn't help laughing sound.

Lu Ying'er, who was sitting next to him, quickly asked, "Cousin Zifang, what are you laughing at?"

Xiao Chong turned his head to talk to her, and Lin Wanwan also looked away.

Not long after, a drinking order full of literary fun finally came to an end.Lin Wanwan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the seat she sat in was already rare every time it was her turn, if she came twice, she would definitely make a fool of herself.

After the drinking order was over, the food table was removed, and a long table (similar to a modern long table) was placed in the center, and the maids quickly put out plates of fruits, snacks, and various fine wines.

Next, it will be in the form of a buffet. Everyone gathers in one place in twos and threes, chatting about their own affairs.

Lin Wanwan was dragged together by the sisters of the Xiao family, and sat not far from Mrs. Lu's group of noble ladies, talking about interesting things around her to pass the time.
