The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 45
As night fell, Diao's Manor, which was just lit up with bright lights, seemed to have changed its appearance. In the daytime, the little girl next door who was dressed in simple and elegant clothes became a seductive girl with heavy makeup. Every frown and smile are full of amorous feelings.

Corridors are lit up, or pass by the mountain, or are covered by forests and rocks. From the mountainside to the foot of the mountain, it looks like fire dragons chiseling through the rocks from a distance, which is quite spectacular.

The night spread into the air, and was rendered in a hazy yellow by the lights all over the sky. The wind couldn't blow away, the rain couldn't get wet, and it was a scene of prosperity and prosperity.

People in the gorgeous light and shadow are gradually busy in an orderly manner, or bowing, or stroking their beards, or calm, or anxious, or busy, or leisurely.

"Night Lai" Hall, a hall that can accommodate hundreds of people for banquets at the same time.Its name comes from a story. According to legend, during the period of Emperor Wen Cao Pi, there lived a beautiful woman named Xue Lingzhi in the beautiful Jiangnan area. There is no light, and the needle is still flying. The folks call it the "needle god".Cao Pi yearned for it so much that he didn't think about tea and food, and couldn't sleep at night, so he sent a chariot to pick up Xue Lingzhi into the palace, and named him "Ye Lai".

The beauty of "Ye Lai" lies in its vibrancy, beauty, freshness and elegance, while the "Ye Lai" hall has another style, magnificent, graceful and luxurious.

Dozens of copper and phoenix lamps with feather patterns hanging from the top cast bright light downwards, and the gold and silver tableware on the rimmed Zen wood dining table danced with dazzling brilliance.

Delicious delicacies come from the dark night and are being sent to the food table under the bright lights.Elaborately dressed dancers in gorgeous long skirts take their places with the musicians with graceful steps.

The three brothers of the Xiao family and the two brothers of the Yang family, as well as a few poor families who made a big splash in "Tan Xuan", were fortunate enough to be seated at the back of the right side of the main hall. The children of the poor family in Bei Yaji showed their dignity and inferiority, and judged each other.

Singing and dancing, orchestral music, embroidered clothes and red shoes, staggered cups and cups, the banquet was peaceful, and the dancers with a lot of appearances danced to the music, and the "get up" on the waist floated up, Huaying took the brilliance , such as swallows dancing lightly, truly charming.

Except for a few elders in high positions, all the young people present here are full-blooded young people, so they can't help but take a few extra glances, such as the fat old man who has never seen the world, his eyes dance with the dancers, the Yang brothers drink and watch, Thoughts were floating around, Xiao Shu, on the contrary, became serious, after all, the two brothers-in-law were sitting beside him.

Xiao Qinzhi was full of food and drink, propped his head up, not very interested in sex dance, and couldn't practice it in the field.

During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were many strange works. Some people liked to forge iron, some people liked to take drugs, some people learned how to bray like a donkey, and some people whistled. All of the above were considered normal, but there was a unique group of people who liked "nude art".

Wang Pingzi, Xie Kun, Ruan Fang, Bi Zhuo, Yang Man, Huan Yi, Ruan Fu, Guangyi and others even set up the "Bada" celestial art performance troupe, having parties, drinking and having parties, "drinking in a closed room" , All night long, "distributing naked clothes", attracted a lot of celebrities to follow suit.

The "Bada" Celestial Art Performance Troupe is obsessed with performance art performances, and Zhou Wei, who "I don't kill Boren, Boren died because of me", looks like an old hooligan.Colleagues invited him to drink at home, and asked his concubine to perform songs and dances for everyone, but the drunk Zhou Yichun was so excited that as soon as he took off his clothes, he would "point his sword at the sky" in front of everyone.

Although, during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, there were many celebrities who had the habit of inviting their friends to watch when they were in the same room, but there was no such thing as Zhou Wei, who was so attractive and forced to perform in other people's homes.

It's a pity that Xiao Qinzhi had been looking forward to it for a long time, but he didn't wait for the famous scene in the legend to appear. It's a bit regretful, but he witnessed the group drug taking incident.

From Xie Taishou and Yan Zhongzheng down to Diao Cheng, Dai Zong, Yan Lin, etc., after eating big fish and meat, they took "Wu Shi San" with cold wine.

"Five Stone Powder" is harmful to the body, but the price is so high that ordinary people can't afford it. Xiao Qinzhi noticed that many people looked at them with envious eyes while taking it.

Sitting next to Xiao Qinzhi was Xu Miao, who had "both knowledge of Confucianism and Xuan". The gentle and elegant him was actually envious of him.

Before the banquet, Xu Miao and Xiao Qinzhi chatted very happily. Seeing that Xiao Qinzhi refused to accept it, and the Lanling Xiao family was no different from ordinary small households, it was not short of this little money, so he asked in a small voice in surprise:

"Brother Qin, why not use 'Han Shi San'?"

Xiao Qinzhi smiled and avoided it, he neither talked about taking it nor why he didn't use it, after all, his friendship with Xu Miao was not that far, talking about the harm of Wushisan was actually annoying.

After taking Wushi Powder, some time had elapsed since the effects of the medicine started, the string music stopped, the dancers all retreated, and everyone began to raise their glasses to toast.

After the toast was over, when everyone went back to their seats, they were called to stay alone. Eunuch Xie had just finished taking the medicine, he was refreshed, lying on his side, covered his body with a wide robe, and said with a smile:
"Have you rested yet?"

"Ha ha."

There was a burst of enthusiastic laughter in the hall. Who knows, Xiao Qinzhi went to the middle courtyard in the afternoon and wrote a poem, praising the little lady of the Yan family as a fairy in the sky. It is difficult for people not to know.

Holding the wine bottle, Xiao Qinzhi hesitated and was extremely embarrassed by many eyes.

Xie Taishou became more and more interested, and asked with a smile: "But have you met Yan's little lady?"

"No!" Xiao Qinzhi replied honestly.

"Hahahaha." The laughter in the hall grew louder.

Yan Lin's face was darkened, he poured wine after glass of wine into his mouth, one of Xiao Qin's poor family, by doing this, he was suspected of trying to get his hands on Yan Ruoyu, invisibly lowering the lintel of Yan's family.

Yan Zhongzheng looked at this handsome young man meaningfully. To him, his realm was higher and his gaze was farther away, but he was silent and did not reveal any emotion.

However, while Xiao Qinzhi was in embarrassment, he didn't want to be stared at by a pair of gloating eyes, naturally it was Chen Tanzhi.

Chen Tanzhi originally planned to have a "talk about Xuan" with Xiao Qinzhi at the banquet, but after returning home, he accidentally discovered the poem written by Xiao Qinzhi for his sister. Here comes.

"Brother Qin, you have a good literary talent." Chen Tanzhi strode towards the center of the hall, saluted upwards, looked around, and said loudly: "Brother Qin, you obviously wrote two poems this afternoon, why did you hide them and only come out with one?" First? If I hadn’t heard people mention it, I’m afraid I’d miss the masterpiece without realizing it.”

"Oh?" Prefect Xie became more interested, looked at Xiao Qinzhi who was standing still, and said, "Qinzhi, what is the other song? Quickly show it to your four eyes."

Xiao Qinzhi's heart was so frightened that he recited a poem for his daughter in front of Xie Daoyun's father. Isn't this courting death and opening the door to his mother's courting death—has courting death come home?
Xiao Qinzhi felt pain in his egg, bowed his head in silence, thinking about a strategy.

Seeing this, Chen Tanzhi didn't allow Xiao Qinzhi to think, like a victorious fighting cock, he walked forward with the pace of "six relatives do not recognize", put his arm around Xiao Qinzhi's shoulders, and said loudly:

"Brother Qin, are you worried about writing poems for the pearl of the prefect Xie, and worried that the prefect Xie will drop the responsibility to you?"

"Boom—" The hall shook and there was a lot of noise. The expressions on everyone's faces were very exciting, and they all showed complicated eyes. Some were contemptuous, some were expecting, and some were gossiping
If you talk about writing poems for the little lady of the Yan family, Xiao Qinzhi is ignorant and fearless, then writing poems for Xie Daoyun is ignorant of the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth.

The patriarch held his breath, clenched his fists, and raised his heart to his throat. The joy of returning home with a full load, he walked to the edge of the cliff in an instant, and his trembling eyes glanced at the frozen expression of the prefect Xie.

The fat old man squeezed the flesh on his face, and stared at Chen Tanzhi angrily, and many of them hated Chen Tanzhi's actions. They exposed people's faults in public, which was not done by a man, and thought it was shameless. Speak up to help.

Xiao Qinzhi scolded Chen Tanzhi in his heart, he didn't say it sooner, he didn't say it later, but at this time, he was obviously rushing to make troubles, and he even had a bit of resentment towards Chen Yunzhi, this is not going to end well.

However, Xiao Qinzhi thought that he had just written a poem. Could it be possible that writing a poem could represent his thoughts on Xie Daoyun?If it really counts, Li Bai still wrote poems to Concubine Yang in front of Tang Xuanzong.

Xiao Qinzhi glared at Chen Tanzhi, who was domineering, and didn't show a good face, and said: "Since Brother Tanzhi is very elegant, why don't you sing it out."

Chen Tanzhi smiled generously and said, "Brother Xie Qin appreciates you, I'll do it for you." He chanted loudly:
"Pingping curled up for more than fifteen years, cardamom tipped at the beginning of February."

"It's not as good as rolling up bead curtains on Yangzhou Road for ten miles in the spring breeze."

"Brother Qin, you are really good at writing."

"It's absurd praise. It's just that when chatting with Yun's brother, he talked about the talents of Cai Wenji and Zhuo Wenjun in the previous dynasty. He sighed that only Xie Daoyun was comparable in this dynasty. Feeling this, I attached a poem." Xiao Qin's eyes were firm. , Clear and clear, he glanced at Chen Tan, turned to look at Xie Taishou, apologized and said: "Qin Menglang, I am interested, I didn't think about it for a while, please thank the prefect for atonement."
