Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

And because he is currently in Luoyang, the imperial capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Zhang Yan, who doesn't want to make trouble, has never chosen those wonder buildings in Western countries for construction.

If he had had the function of modifying the style of this spectacle earlier, why would he be able to focus on the traditional spectacle in China like before?

After inquiring about the system in detail, Zhang Yan discovered that this function of paid spectacle style modification was the last of the three prompts he heard after completing the sundial sacrifice. .

According to the system, after Zhang Yan came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, he completed a wonder building with a score of 90 points or above for the first time, that is, it was evaluated by the system as an excellent building. rewards.

And when he builds other buildings with a score of 90 or more, more system function modules will be unlocked, allowing him to further build wonders that meet his requirements.

Even according to the promise of the system, when he completes a golden wonder with a legendary score of 90 points or more by the system for the first time, the system will even open up the function of completely customizing the wonder for him.

At that time, Zhang Yan only needs to provide his own construction budget and general functional direction, and the system will be able to define his unique building as a brand-new, never-before-seen spectacle.

At that time, even if he built a huge ring-shaped energy harvesting device around the sun and named it "Zhang Yanqiu", it would not be impossible.

……

Immersed in his beautiful fantasy about the future, Zhang Yan's eyes couldn't help being a little blurred.But when he came back to his senses, he found that a big face appeared in front of him like this, and the distance from him was at most a little more than a foot.

"woc!"

Taking a sudden step back, Zhang Yan forgot that he was almost sitting against the corner of the wall, so he accidentally bumped his head against the hard wall.

And before he had time to cry out in pain, he saw the person in front of him pat himself, and then pointed to the place where the group of scholars gathered before.

"promise--"

Arching his lips in that direction, Cao Cao didn't say much, just sighed like this, and walked out of the banquet hall.

"Meng De, you are not fighting with those scholars, why..."

QǔN②06 6

Looking at the direction Cao Cao was going away in some puzzlement, Zhang Yan first called out to stop him, but saw Cao Cao walking towards the distance without looking back, and a look of suspicion suddenly appeared on his face.

"This guy, what are you doing?"

Shaking his head helplessly, Zhang Yan had already drank a lot of spirits today, so he was inevitably a little confused. He was hiding in this corner alone to check the system messages before, and he also wanted to sober himself up a little bit.

But he didn't expect that the hit of the back of his head against the wall just now made him stare in the eyes, and the dizziness that he had suppressed before suddenly came to Zhang Yan's forehead.

"day……"

After muttering something in a low voice, Zhang Yan turned around and looked at the direction Cao Cao pointed his mouth at before, and suddenly he couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This……"

……

On the other side, at the center of the banquet, Qiao Jinzheng straightened his clothes a little nervously. He glanced around at the circle of scholars lying unconscious on the ground, feeling a little nervous and uneasy brewing in his heart.

"Young Master, today's banquet is to celebrate Mr. Zhang's achievements. It's not appropriate for us to be like this?"

Although her usual personality showed a carefree look, after all, she was born as a servant, and Qiao Jin was a little timid after all on such a big occasion.Beside her, Qiao Ying, who was also dressed in men's clothing, had a look of indifference, and sat there calmly playing the piano, practicing the piano music she had just learned a few days ago.

The moving notes flowed from her fingertips like a clear spring, and the beautiful timbre did not appear to be a bit downcast or eclipsed even under the backdrop of the drunken scholars who looked like dead pigs.

"It's a pity, it's a good piano, but it's just that I didn't meet the Ming Lord, and it was left aside and left in the cold until now."

Carefully blowing away the dust under the strings, Qiao Ying finished playing a piece, adjusted the slightly loose strings, and continued playing the first piece.

Today, she also heard that her new friend, the daughter of the great Confucian Cai Yong, told her that her fiancé, whom she had never met, had returned to Luoyang City with soldiers from Taiyuan.

And because she didn't go out during the day, she didn't see the miraculous scene of changing color in the north of the city.

But fortunately, with a change of mind, Qiao Ying's heart rose for a year, and then she took her maid, Qiao Jin, to prepare.

Normally speaking, in the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, unmarried girls hardly had the opportunity to step out of the house. This is also the original meaning of the word "girl" in ancient times.Although women from aristocratic families generally do not pay as much attention to this aspect as ordinary people in order to cultivate knowledge, but for Qiao Ying who has already held a pre-wedding ceremony, which is the ancient version of the engagement ceremony, she is absolutely There is no chance to meet Zhang Yan.

According to the ancient etiquette, after the "Na Zheng" in the six ceremonies of the wedding is completed, that is, after the dowry is received by the woman, the two parties who will hold the wedding will never have any chance to meet until the night of the wedding day.Just because she was really curious about her future husband in her heart, Qiaoying wanted to know a thing or two about him before they saluted.

Although such an approach is really a bit impolite, but after all, I told her the day I came to Yinger, the most fundamental way to understand a person is to see with your own eyes and hear with your own ears. Instead of listening to other people's exclusives, let other people's comments affect your own opinions.

After thinking about it for a while, remembering Cao Cao's "very ugly" evaluation of Zhang Yan, Qiao Ying decided to change into a man's clothes, pretending to be many scholars from Luoyang who were invited by Zhang Yan today, and mixed into the banquet , intending to take a closer look at Zhang Yan from a distance.

And after coming to this banquet, she suddenly had an unexpected feeling towards Zhang Yan.

Chapter 40 Height Difference

When Qiaoying was in Lujiang earlier, she also participated in many such banquets specially used to entertain the surrounding scholars.At that time, most of the content of the banquet was nothing more than singers and beauties singing and dancing, scholars and celebrities reciting poems and making Fu.

Before bringing her maid here, Qiao Ying naturally imagined this banquet as the scene she had experienced in Lujiang, so there was nothing strange about it, she just felt that she was already familiar with the road.

It's just that she didn't expect that after coming to the banquet hall, Qiao Ying found that this was the first time she had encountered such a banquet.

Bringing the lady Qiao Jin in disguise to enter the third floor of the restaurant that has never been there before, and after entering, Qiao Ying sees a rather spacious hall with bright lights, which looks very grand.

Unlike other banquet venues, there is no huge space reserved in the middle of the hall for singing and dancing performances by singers. There are several spacious long-leg tables, and at the same time, the surrounding space near the wall is reserved.

"It's really strange... If the banquet is arranged like this, how will the song and dance performance be carried out later?"

"Let's not mention that the middle of the banquet hall is full of strange-looking tables, let's just say that these seats are basically divided into priorities. How can I and everyone confirm their identities and sit down one by one?"

He frowned his pretty eyebrows.Qiao Ying didn't make a sound, but felt a little strange about this scene silently in her heart.But not even a moment after she and the maid entered the hall, what happened next was beyond her expectation.

The first thing that appeared was a group of beautiful maids with soft faces and graceful figures. Many of them had figures that even Qiao Ying couldn't help feeling a little jealous in her heart when she saw them.It's just that these maids didn't perform singing and dancing like Qiao Ying did. Instead, they recommended huge dinner plates one by one to the big table in the middle of the room.

A large number of different kinds of delicious food were brought out from the back kitchen one after another. Qiaoying watched the group of maids put all the food together, and then retreated along the corners of the room to the side hall.

Glancing over the exquisite and detailed food, Qiao Ying found that many of them had been tried in this restaurant before, and they were expensive for most people. Difficult to enjoy.

Besides the meals she had used, there were more foods that she hadn't tried, or even heard of.

Even Qiao Ying, who comes from a wealthy family, can only roughly guess the ingredients and taste of the dishes from the appearance of the food.

The voice of secretly swallowing saliva came from time to time, Qiao Ying only felt a little embarrassed by Qiao Jin's current performance.And just when she was a little dazed about what happened before, and didn't know how to react, Zhang Yan, the protagonist of the banquet, walked out from the side door of the hall wearing a snow-white robe under the eyes of everyone. Appeared everywhere and entered the eyes of everyone present.

Instead of the usual banquet where the host gave a speech first, then everyone toasted one by one according to their seats, and finally held a song and dance performance for viewing, instead, the people present let out a roar, rushed towards the protagonist, and surrounded Zhang Yan. , seems to be very familiar with him.

Among the crowd that swarmed up, Qiaoying even found a few people she had seen before, and it is said that even in this imperial capital Luoyang, they could be regarded as powerful and powerful with names and surnames.

But when the crowd swarmed up and waited silently, Qiao Ying had met Cao Cao, the captain of Xiyuan Dianjun many times before, but he didn't swarm up like those ordinary scholars, but just held a wine bottle not far away. , looked at Zhang Yan's direction with a complicated expression, and didn't say much.

The noisy sound of people toasting and congratulating came to her ears from time to time, Qiao Ying was only a little dizzy from the sudden boiling scene.The current development has completely exceeded her previous expectations, and at the same time, it also made her feel deeply alienated from the people present.

Somewhat at a loss, watching one young scholar after another rushing to Zhang Yan's side to toast and congratulate, Qiao Ying looked at the expressions on the faces of those scholars, all of them were sincere and not fake.And across the thick human walls layer after layer, she, who is not tall at all, can only see Zhang Yan from a distance as a young man who seems to be handsome and relatively young, with a The white robe can't be said to be romantic and suave, but it can be regarded as eye-catching, which is somewhat different from Qiao Ying's previous guess.

Of course, it's not that Qiao Ying really believed Cao Cao's nonsense and really imagined Zhang Yan as the sad old and ugly person that no one would commit himself to. It's just that I heard people say Zhang Yan's occupation before He is an army general who leads troops to fight, and at the same time he is quite good at it. He can be said to be a hero on the battlefield. Therefore, Qiao Ying is inevitably worried that the other party will be that kind of warrior. Every move seemed a little rude.

But looking from a distance this time, Qiao Ying only felt that the other party's appearance was not bad, not like the image of a hot-blooded reckless man who only knew how to do it blindly, so she was slightly relieved deep in her heart.

Earlier, when she came into contact with her prospective brother-in-law who hadn't been married yet... No, it was her prospective brother-in-law who hadn't married her sister, Wu Chenghou and Changsha prefect Sun Jian's eldest son Sun Ce Sun Bofu, she felt deeply in her heart. Although the other party has a sunny appearance and can be said to be handsome, but he inevitably carries too much of the rude and savage air between warriors in his actions.Qiao Ying, who had never been in contact with other young warriors, naturally replaced Zhang Yan's previous image in her heart with Sun Ce's general appearance.

Seeing that the other party's behavior is considered polite now, Qiao Ying's mind is no longer worried and nervous like before.

As long as they still look like scholars, if the two of them disagree on any matter in the future, they can still be discussed.

And if the other party is the type who can't listen to the words, Qiaoying will inevitably feel a little difficult in her heart.

"It looks pretty good, but it's a pity that it's a bit tall, it's almost eight feet..."

"If two people stand together on weekdays, wouldn't it be..."

"After all, to be honest, although I can't say that I'm too short, I'm only a little over six feet..."

Chapter 41 Sweetness

With a reddish complexion, Qiao Ying's face suddenly turned redder as she imagined how the two would look shoulder to shoulder in the future.Unlike her focus on Zhang Yan among the crowd, Qiao Jin, the maid at this moment, focused all her attention on the large amount of delicious food in the middle of the banquet hall.

There was a bit of greed in his eyes, and Qiao Jin was staring at the delicacies served one by one by the beautiful maids in the middle of the hall, especially the many meat dishes that were secretly drooling.

It can be seen that there are a lot of things that she hasn't eaten before, and as far as Qiao Jin's life in Luoyang is concerned, it is obvious that those delicious foods will bring her a kind of food that she has never experienced before. unique flavor.

Although on weekdays, as a personal maid, Qiao Jin has always stayed with her young master Qiao Ying, and she has seen a lot of wind and waves.

However, due to Qiao Ying's personality and family education, she is not a very extravagant and wasteful person, and therefore, she has never seen such an appearance of piling up countless delicacies for people to take at will in these years. .

Since the afternoon, when her young master decided to disguise herself to participate in the event, Qiao Jin has been busy dressing up her young master and helping the other party change into suitable clothes. She has been busy until the banquet is about to start. will end.And she who hadn't eaten all the time, after seeing the mountain of delicacies, she suddenly felt a hunger welling up from her chest.

"Young Master, look, look—"

Gently tugging on Qiao Ying's sleeve, Qiao Jin kept looking behind her at the delicious food in the center of the hall.And at this moment, after everyone finished greeting Zhang Yan, many scholars took down the plates one by one from the vacant table beside them, and walked towards the table where the food was piled up.

Among the maids who appeared with dishes earlier, not all of them withdrew from the banquet hall.At the moment, beside the dining table, there were quite a few maids holding pairs of huge and slender metal chopsticks, helping the scholars in need to pick up meals.

Seeing that the group of people looked quite skilled, Qiao Jin inevitably started to move around.

"Young Master, look at them, they use the serving chopsticks to pick up what they want, and if they are difficult to use, they will contact the maidservants standing by for assistance."

"Now we stand here stupidly, motionless, and it seems that we don't fit in well. To be honest, it seems quite embarrassing."

"Young Master, you haven't had a meal since noon today, why don't we go eat something first, anyway, the young master is in this hall, and he won't run away, okay?"

Wiping the saliva from the corner of her mouth secretly, Qiao Jin didn't have the kind of face that her master had, even though her heart was in turmoil, the instant noodles still looked calm and breezy, so she wrote down her inner thoughts clearly in the face.Seeing Qiao Jin's appearance, Qiao Ying also stopped her gaze from the side, and reluctantly agreed to Qiao Jin's request.

Speaking of her personal maid, everything is really good.Not only is she very well-behaved and obedient, she seldom complains to herself about being tired and tired, and she can be said to be ingenious and skillful on weekdays.

When Li was living in Lujiang, the reason why Qiao Ying was able to wander around as a girl who had not left the court, and participated in various banquets and banquets was all due to Qiao Jin's dexterous hands, and her kind Exquisite and proficient makeup skills...

It's just a pity that this girl has only one shortcoming, that is, she is extremely gluttonous and loves to eat, but she can eat as much as she can without gaining weight. It is inevitable that Qiao Ying, as the host, will feel a little helpless and envious from time to time.

Although her figure is so well controlled, she has been forced to maintain it by relying on strict and self-disciplined living habits on weekdays.Under such circumstances, Qiao Ying couldn't accept her maidservant yelling "rich woman, hungry, food" in her ear all day long.

But looking back, Qiao Ying realized that she and Qiao Jin had been busy all afternoon, and at this moment she really felt a little hungry.Therefore, after looking up and carefully observing the scholars who went to the dining area to pick up meals, she also nodded to Qiao Jin who was at the side, and it was considered that she had agreed to the other party's request, and she led Qiao Jin towards the dining table. past.

Ignoring the maid Qiao Jin who rushed towards the meaty meat as soon as she came up, Qiao Ying first looked around, then picked up a dinner plate, and put a delicate light yellow pastry not far away into her own Inside the dinner plate.But just picked up a corner with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, a faint expression of surprise appeared on her face.

"So sweet!"

Slightly recalling the faint milky aroma and sweetness of the pastry, Qiao Ying couldn't help showing a good-looking smile on her face.

The previous pastry did not have the dry taste that Qiao Ying imagined, but was soft and smooth, filling her mouth like cashmere.But just licking it lightly with the tongue, a faint sweetness invaded Qiao Ying's consciousness along the tip of the tongue.

It was a kind of faint sweetness that didn't make people feel bored, and it quickly suppressed Qiao Ying's previous boredom in her heart to an extremely low level.

"Well, it's really sweet, but it's not as greasy as caramel..."

Filling her mouth again with a small light yellow pastry, Qiao Ying savored the taste contained in the pastry carefully.You must know that in this era, people want to taste the sweetness only through a simple way of boiling "maltose" with a large amount of grain, which is the so-called "caramel".And even Qiao Ying, who came from a wealthy family, did not have so many opportunities to taste the precious food produced by consuming a lot of food.

After all, he was born in troubled times, and the food production and demand in the Eastern Han Dynasty were far from enough for the people to spend as much as they did in the later Tang and Song Dynasties.

And in order to prevent the embarrassment of not being able to fill his stomach due to lack of food in a certain disaster year in the future, as the head of the Qiao family, Qiao Xuan would naturally not allow his servants to consume a lot of food to produce maltose, which can only be regarded as spices. With the presence of snacks.

Therefore, even Qiao Ying, who seldom eats caramel, naturally fell in love with this somewhat unique sweet taste that is not greasy after tasting this kind of pastry.
