Everyone burst into laughter, and when it came to this, Xue Gongzi deliberately sold a pass, and asked, "I don't know what good plans you have for the Qing family here?" "All the sons in the audience are talking about each other, and they are all afraid of the power of the Xue family, which one dares to take the liberty and steal his limelight?

Wang Gongzi, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, is a master who sees the wind and rudder, understands Xue Zhongbing's thoughts, and stands up and flatters: "I have heard for a long time that Xue Gongzi is wise and talented, and I am only sparse and shallow, how dare I talk about it?" If Xue Gongzi has any high opinions, please give advice. ”

Xue Zhongbing was very proud after hearing this, waved the fan in his hand, and said with a smile: "This difficulty, in recent years, I have had many conflicts with the chieftains in Huaxia, and the consumption of silver, money, grain and grass is very large. In the future, I think that if we blindly increase the taxes of the people, we may shake the national capital and easily cause popular unrest. Today's congratulatory gifts of the Qing family, the contemptible people will be in the name of the sons, record the register, and present them to the court with the corresponding silver money according to the price, of course, they must sign your names respectively, I don't know what you think? ”

When the sons and brothers listened, Xue Gongzi not only recognized the favor, but also showed his loyalty in front of the court, killing two birds with one stone, and they all applauded.

The trick of giving a little favor to win people's hearts is Xue Zhongbing's specialty.

Xue Zhongbing continued: "Regarding the chieftain's 'poor' beast, legend has it that the ancient Zhulan Yuankong mage once tamed it, but the Yuankong mage has already passed away, and the chieftain and my Huaxia belong to the same human race, and Zhu Lan will not intervene in the human race. Fortunately, thanks to God's refusal, my son is happy to get a treasure, and it is expected to defeat the 'poor' army formation in the future, which is my great luck in China! ”

After hearing this, everyone was curious about what the strange treasure he said was, which could break through the fierce "poor and poor" soldiers.

Speaking of this, Xue Zhongbing sold a pass, his expression was secretive, and he smiled slightly: "Please also invite you to eat, after the wine banquet singing and dancing, please see the treasure of this son!" Hahaha! ”

Xue Zhongbing then clapped his hands and shouted: "Pass the food and drink, prepare the song and dance!" ”

Before the words fell, the sheng flute sounded in unison, the cymbals played together, and the servants entered with delicious wine and delicacies, and the feast was full of delicacies from the mountains and seas. The level of luxury, one meal is worth the cost of ordinary people's families for several years.

Let's look at the wine dishes on the wine table, there are 12 lamps and 24 dishes. The first two dishes: quail crystal tart, pork belly fake burbot ray; The second light has two dishes: five treasures, crab soup; The third two dishes: hand-washed crab, crucian carp fake clams; The fourth two dishes: fresh shrimp hooves, fried eel in the south; The fifth two dishes: crab stuffed with fir, jade soup; The sixth lamp has two courses: flower cooking quail, lychee white kidney; The sixth lamp has two courses: sheep tongue sticks, three crispy soups; The seventh lamp has two courses: nai room sign, budding belly (a kind of tripe); The eighth two dishes: goose meat, vinegar and garlic white blood soup; The ninth lamp has two courses: belly, mandarin duck fried belly; The tenth two dishes: shark belly, fried shark soup; The eleventh two dishes: fried horseshoe crab with eel, goose gizzard palm soup; The twelfth lamp has two courses: jellyfish and two-color cocoon soup; There are also embroidered dumplings, Lexian fruit fork bags, carved gold incense medicine, carved candied fruit, hanging hands eight plates, real fruits, new fruits, long tangled fruits, lychees, round eyes, fragrant lotus, hazelnuts, pine nuts, quince, ginkgo, pear flesh, peach, honeydew melon, red dates and other kinds of tea preserved fruits. The table is full of dazzling food, and the food is fragrant and mouth-watering.

Xue Gongzi raised the rhino horn wine glass to toast to everyone, and after everyone returned the salute, the two dancers were as beautiful as flowers, leading more than ten women to appear in the hall, accompanied by "Ankang Life Extension Song", dancing. The red-clothed beauty is still wearing a white mask and a pair of jade hands, dancing and flying on the strings, acting like a god and glamorous.

The sound of the piano is absolutely beautiful, suddenly like ten thousand horses galloping down the high slope, sometimes cold and sad like a high mountain flying clear spring, everyone is completely intoxicated with this wonderful piano sound, and can't help but secretly exclaim.

When Xue Gongzi and everyone were pushing the cup and changing the lamp, he noticed the woman in red, and when he saw her wearing a mask, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and he was anxious to call the shopkeeper of Tianxiang Pavilion and asked, "Who is this woman?" Why play with a mask?! ”

Shopkeeper Sun said with a smile on his face: "Lord Xue, this woman has been performing and singing in the cold house, and it has been several years now, just because she was young and suffered from the disaster, and the right side of her face was burned by the fire very scary, and she used a mask to cover her ugliness all day long. This female piano is superb, well-known as the Beijing teacher, known as 'Confused Mingxiang', otherwise the small one would have been replaced a long time ago, isn't it to help you with adults? ”

Xue Gongzi interrupted Sun's shopkeeper with a light snort, and sneered: "Ugly face?!" Can't see people!? But this son likes to see some strange scenery, you let her come to me, play a few songs to listen, I want to see her true face, how ugly and terrifying! If you have half a lie, watch your head! ”

Xue Zhongbing motioned to Yue Qing, and Yue Qing immediately understood, and approached with several guards.

The shopkeeper Sun ordered the woman who played the piano to be summoned, and this woman was followed by a woman who played the pipa. The woman in red is holding the dragon lip piano in her arms, her posture is graceful, handsome as a hong, although she can't see her face, she can also feel that under the mask, that face was originally overwhelming the world, which is unforgettable.

The laughter and noise in the building stopped abruptly, and everyone's eyes fell on this woman, which can be described as: "The appearance of the gods is arrogant and extraordinary, and the enemy soldiers are flawed by the jade face." The long-hated thief has nowhere to be found, and the sword is light. ”

The woman in red came to Xue Gongzi's Pavilion and bowed down to say a blessing. Xue Zhongbing said: "The piano is playing well, who is your surname?" Why do you use a mask to cover your face? My son is curious, you play the piano very well, the more I want to see your true face. How about you take off your mask and play a song for everyone? ”

The woman's expression was calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and replied: "Tang Mingxiang, a slave, has been exposed to war since he was a child, and his face was damaged. ”

Xue Gongzi became angry when he heard this, and said, "Huh?!" ”

The shopkeeper Sun on the side hurriedly scolded: "You girl who doesn't know what to do, do you know who Xue Gongzi is?" May you haggle around your tongue here? ”

The woman in red said coldly: "Since Lord Xue insists on seeing the little girl's true face, the Rong Nu family will play and sing a few tunes first, and then take off the mask for everyone to see, Lord Xue, what do you think?" The woman's tone was dignified, as if she could not be bent.

Shopkeeper Sun shouted: "Bold ......"

Xue Gongzi suddenly sneered, waved a fan and interrupted the shopkeeper Sun: "What a stubborn girl, I haven't seen anyone who dares to talk to me about conditions, you are the first, you have a temperament!" But today, my son is very happy, so he will follow you. ”

Then he asked, "What instruments do you play?!" ”

The woman in red said: "The slave family has taught art Zhong to leave the Chinese musician since childhood, and can play 'zheng', 'sheng', 'xiao', 'gonghou', 'pipa', 'dragon flute', especially love pipa, and be good at dancing the Shaoguang wine fairy dance, which is a must." ”
