Brother Rong of Red Mansion

Chapter 38 Outstanding Performance
  Because Jia Rong was sitting at the back, by the time it was his turn to drink, most of the word combinations had already been said.

The fact that Jia Rong can answer it is already amazing and impressive enough.

I never thought that Jia Rong could not only answer it, but also answer it so "smartly".

They actually form the word "waist" together.

In such an environment, it would be wonderful to say it in an extremely provocative tone.

Especially, considering that Jia Rong drank a lot before, it was not easy to stay sober. To be able to actually execute orders and speak in a coherent manner is beyond the reach of others.

All the noble gentlemen cast admiring glances.

Jia Zhen's face was complicated and her heart was full of mixed emotions.

During this time, Jia Rong has changed too much. It was so big that the old man could hardly recognize it. Is this still my useless son? Isn't it someone else pretending to be someone else? Jia Zhen's whimsical thoughts.

After Jia Rong finished speaking, it was Jia Qiang's turn to drink. However, Jia Qiang had not studied "Jiuling Congchao" and did not have the quick wit and talent, so she surrendered and begged for mercy and took the initiative to fine her a glass of wine.

After the round of drinking, Jia Zhen slowly left the stage.

The position of "drinking officer" was given to someone else, and the drinking order continued.

When the dignitaries in the hall saw Jia Rong's performance, they seemed to want to test him deliberately. So as soon as Jia Zhen abdicated the throne, someone immediately took over and issued a difficult command of "dominoes and famous poems" to see if Jia Rong could still answer.

This order requires that you first say the name of the dominoes, and then cite an ancient poem, so that the meaning of the two words is consistent.

For example: When you are old and enter the flowers {domino name}, it will be said that you are a young man taking leisure time to learn. {Song Dynasty·Cheng Hao·"Spring Day"}
  The gentlemen in the hall cheered loudly after hearing this. They all frowned and groaned. When the five drum beats fell, they considered the words and began to give orders one after another.

Not long after, it was Jia Rong's turn again.

"Looking at the lanterns for fifteen {names of dominoes}, Liuao came from the sea and came from the mountain. {Wang Gui, "Shang Yuan Ying Zhi Shi"}."

Not surprisingly, Jia Rong spoke lightly and revealed another "excellent drinking order", which instantly won the house's acclaim. All the gentlemen nodded and looked at Jia Rong with eyes full of praise.

After drinking so much wine, it is really amazing that you can still answer such a difficult drinking order!

Ning Guofu may really rise!
  Jia Rong's "future potential" has once again reached a higher level in the hearts of aristocratic lords, leaving a deep impression and becoming a political force that can be "invested" in.

"Pass!"

The drinker smiled and looked at the next person.

Jia Qiang felt confident this time, frowned and pondered for a long time, and actually asked him to come up with a drinking order.

"Purple swallows fly through the curtains {name of dominoes} and fly into ordinary people's homes. {Tang Dynasty·Liu Yuxi·"Woyi Lane"}."

After answering this sentence, the wine officer's eyes lit up and he also gave Jia Qiang a "pass". He stroked his beard and praised: "I never thought that Brother Qiang is also a good person!"

After finishing speaking, Jia Qiang glanced at Shen Fei, showing a confident look. She had been suppressed by Jia Rong for so long, and she could finally stand upright for once.

However, while he was prosperous, Jia Lian was feeling uncomfortable.

The young brother of the Jia clan, he is the only one who has lost two battles in a row, what a shame! Jia Lian's face was livid, and he seemed to feel the pressure from Jia She and Jia Zheng's gazes.

"Next time, I will definitely be able to answer it."

Jia Lian clenched his fists, silently encouraging himself, and then looked expectantly at the next wine ordering officer.

"Let me do it!"

Perhaps Jia Lian was embarrassed, so Jia She, the eldest master of the Rongguo Mansion, stood up with a livid face, recommended himself as the wine ordering officer, and issued a "Liquor Order of the Same Color".

This order is to take two things with similar colors, and then split one word into two identical words, respectively associated with the two things.

For example: tea and wine have the same color. By splitting the word "LV", we can get two "口", one for drinking tea in a small mouth and drinking in a large mouth.

As soon as everyone heard this, they knew that this was a question deliberately set by Jia She for his son.

A little simpler.

But this is a brothel, not a Gongyuan examination room. What everyone wants is fun, just enjoy it to the fullest. What's the big deal if Jia She wants to defend his son?

As a result, all the gentlemen carefully considered the words and orders and did not object.

The drinking order started quickly and it was Jia Lian's turn.

At this moment, Jia Lian looked at Jia She Gujing's calm expression, and suddenly his heart suddenly suddenly burst out, and he quickly said the answer he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Plum plums and snow have the same color. I split the word 'Peng' to get two 'moons'. Appreciating the plum blossoms invites the moon, and appreciating the snow invites the moon."

After Jia Lian finished his answer, he hoped to get Jia She's approval.

He thought that this drinking order was very well done. The artistic conception is mysterious, ethereal and free, which is better than the "introduction" made by the master.

It's impossible for the master to be angry, right? !
  In fact, Jia Lian's drinking order was indeed good. Everyone in the hall nodded after hearing this, thinking that Jia Lian had won the victory. Jia She's view is naturally the same.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Jia She nodded, his stiff and livid face finally softening a little.

He has given up his old face to help Jia Lian. If Jia Lian still fails to live up to his expectations, he will really die!
  When Jia She goes back, he will definitely "supervise" Jia Lian's homework and studies. Until Jia She was satisfied, Jia Lian could not take another step out of the house.

Fortunately, Jia Lian had a flash of inspiration and made a "superior drinking order" to avoid this physical pain.

"Brother Rong, it's your turn."

After Jia Lian finished answering, it was Jia Rong's turn to give orders.

Jia Rong naturally did not have stage fright. She hugged Gu Pan'er and smiled, and wrote lightly: "My wife and concubine have the same appearance. I split the word 'duo' to get two words 'xi'. One night with my wife, the other night with my wife." concubine."

After saying that, Jia Rong cupped his fists and raised his hands: "Master, my grandnephew has gone wild."

Facing Jia Rong's answer, Jia She stroked his beard and smiled, his eyes showing appreciation and satisfaction. They were two completely different faces from when he faced Jia Lian before.

"It doesn't matter, this order is interesting. Especially if it matches this place, it complements each other very well!" Jia She stroked his beard and smiled, and praised it warmly, without concealing his appreciation.

And soon, Jia Qiang also answered a drinking order and successfully passed the round.

Next, a group of noble gentlemen took turns to come on stage and continue to test Jia Rong. Tricky drinking orders such as "doubling orders", "changing word poems", "routine bans on verses" and so on took turns to try to stump Jia Rong.

However, Jia Rong did not show any timidity at all when he was talking to other scholars. The banquet atmosphere in the hall became more and more intense. Everyone laughed loudly, looked at Jia Rong with surprises in their eyes, and their hearts continued to pay more attention to him.

"This boy is both civilized and military. He is indeed a hard-earned brother!" A group of noble men communicated with each other, making no secret of their appreciation and love for Jia Rong.

After being stubborn for a while, everyone felt that they were having fun, so they called the dancers and started dancing again.

This is the third chapter of "Marriage Between Two Lives".

It is said that Zhang Yan was angry and blamed him, so Wei Gao led his troops to surround Zhang's mansion. The conflict between the two parties intensified, and Zhang Yuxiao tried to persuade them. Then Han's mother showed Han Yuxiao a self-portrait he had painted before his death. Only then did Zhang Yanshang realize that there was truth in it and that Wei Gao did not mean to humiliate him.

However, at this time, the master in the hall was drunk, half-dressed, and in a dissolute manner. He had no intention of watching the dance anymore. He only rubbed his ears and temples with the oirans, teasing and laughing.

Jia Rong is also one of them.

At this time, Gu Pan'er was as docile as a cat, and her clothes and skirt were half unbuttoned and baggy. Jia Rong's big hands wandered inside and she had cleared all the secrets of Gu Pan'er. He experienced the beauty personally.

Looking at Pan'er Xiafei's cheeks, the snow-white skin stimulated a layer of goosebumps, and she seemed to be drunk. His eyes were blurry, and he just obeyed Jia Rong and did whatever he was told. He was really obedient.

After the third dance, the highlight of tonight’s banquet is here!

Whether it was the drunken gentleman, or the courtesans lying in the gentleman's arms with their clothes half-undressed and revealing their beauty, their eyes suddenly lit up, revealing a hint of sobriety.

Especially the oirans, who forced themselves to sit up and kept saying good things to the gentlemen, hoping to get a "good comment".

The third part of the banquet is to evaluate the flower list!
  The oirans accompanied him for most of the night, and they had a "deep" relationship with the gentleman for a long time. It’s not just about getting gold and silver. I also hope that the accompanying benefactor will have extraordinary literary talent and can write a good poem when evaluating the flower list, which will make them famous and add luster.

In this way, their fame will greatly increase, and their status and treatment in the attic will also increase accordingly.

Even if you pick up customers again in the future, the cost standard for escorts will be greatly increased.

Especially the "female number two" like Gu Pan'er, they hope that their accompanying patrons can make a name for them and be promoted to the "female number one".

"Father..."

At this moment, Gu Pan'er was nervous, grabbing Jia Rong's sleeve and showing pitiful eyes.

That look of pity made Jia Rong feel soft.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely show off your face tonight."

Jia Rong smiled brightly.

As soon as these words came out, Gu Paner's eyes lit up.

Gu Pan'er saw all Jia Rong's performance tonight, and knew that Jia Rong was a truly talented and learned man, not just a hereditary playboy who came to the Taiping Tower to have fun.

So after hearing Jia Rong's assurance, Gu Pan'er clenched her pink fists. The full snow-white mountains were like ocean waves, rising and falling with the rhythm of her nervous breathing. In order to allow Jia Rong to go all out and write excellent Huabang poems, Gu Pan'er couldn't help but increase the weight of her win.

"Master, as long as you can write a good poem and let me earn some face, I will thank you well tonight and make you happy and satisfied."

In an instant, Jia Rong's eyes lit up.

"Oh? Does Sister Pan'er have any secret skills in the room that others don't know about?"
