The Prosperous Era of Longwan

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, every household celebrates the New Year. I wish you good luck when you open the door, wealth in front of you, meet noble people when you go out, hear good news at home, and finally... get the red envelope!

"Today, Miss Xiangyun has to work hard to show my cousin the beauty of our Jiangxi beauties."

After Zeng Yuanshu introduced the scholars present, he ordered the restaurant to be decorated.

Jingshui Building has only three floors, which is not very big. Although it is beautifully decorated and decorated with carved beams and painted pillars, it shows the luxurious style of the restaurant.

The third floor where Wei Guangde is currently located is naturally the best place in the restaurant, but there are no private rooms or anything like that.

Today, Zeng Yuanshu has taken over the third floor. Except for the guests he invited, naturally no one else will come up.

The area of ​​these three floors, Wei Guangde's visual inspection, is about tens of square meters, which is not too small, but it is obvious that there are tables, chairs and benches stacked behind the screen.

Apparently, since it was a reserved seat, the restaurant moved the extra tables and chairs to the corner and separated them with screens.

The madam asked the musicians behind to sit behind the screen, while she took Miss Xiangyun to toast the guests at the table. By this time, Wei Guangde also knew the origin of this group of people.

The madam's surname was Liu, and she was the old madam of Fanghua House. The guests called her Madam Liu, and the girl she brought was Xiangyun, who was the top lady of Fanghua House. They were also invited by Mr. Zeng to sing for the entertainment.

Madam Liu and Xiangyun toasted each other a glass of wine. As a veteran of the entertainment scene, she naturally knew how to toast. In just a few words, she could have a general understanding of the guests present.

When it was Wei Guangde's turn, after all, he was still a baby-faced person. He could tell at a glance that he was still a child. After looking at the wine glass on the table, Madam Liu asked Xiangyun to come forward and pour him a glass of wine. At this time, Wei Guangde also I had the opportunity to take a closer look at this Xiangyun girl.

She is indeed a beauty, but she doesn't look as stunning as before.

When Wei Guangde saw Miss Xiangyun for the second time, he no longer had the same feeling as before, and he felt a little strange inside.

But as Xiangyun held the cup to toast, Wei Guangde suddenly realized something.

When I came to the Ming Dynasty, the people I saw most were my mother and some women in the town. They were all dressed in ordinary clothes, but they were not like this pair of women, who were all dressed up and had hairpins and jade rings on their heads.

Well, Wei's mother didn't dress up before, and her headdress was very simple, so Wei Guangde hadn't seen the beauty of women in ancient costumes.

Even when she went to the county for the Chinese New Year, Wei's mother didn't dress up deliberately because she was going back to her parents' home.

Although my cousin and her daughter were dressed up, they were very simple and did not wear many hairpins on their heads.

It was with this Xiangyun girl that Wei Guangde felt the beauty of Hanfu beauties for the first time.

Think about it, if they don't pay attention to appearance, they won't do business.

After the musicians were ready, the Xiangyun girl began to sing to add to the fun of the banquet.

When Wei Guangde arrived in the Ming Dynasty, it was the first time he heard popular music here.

In Wei Guangde's time, to be honest, it was rare to hear music from the Ming and Qing dynasties.

Although many of the advertised Chinese styles or classical music claim to be ancient style songs.

However, at this moment, Wei Guangde seemed to be far from the truth.

Of course, this is not to say that the music of the Ming Dynasty is better, but it really makes him feel that it is not as good as the guzheng performances he heard before.

The musicians behind the screen were playing and singing, and they were very busy, but Wei Guangde still felt uncomfortable.

However, when the music started playing and the Xiangyun girl started singing, people at the table gradually stopped talking. They seemed to be intoxicated when they heard the melodious singing.

By this time, Wei Guangde had to admit that after hundreds of years of progress, musical instruments were constantly being introduced, and the sound quality and timbre were actually more perfect and beautiful.

I can’t hear it.

Wei Guangde sighed in his heart, and then imitated others and became intoxicated.

However, after listening carefully to the music, Wei Guangde made another surprising discovery: the Ming Dynasty actually highly respected Song lyrics.

I even heard two songs sung by Miss Xiangyun, both of which were love songs with lyrics written by Liu Yong.

"Standing in the dangerous building, the wind is blowing softly, looking at the extremely sad spring, the sky is gloomy. In the lingering light of the grass and smoke, I can't say who would lean on the railing.

I plan to get drunk and sing to the wine, but the strong music is still tasteless. The belt becomes wider and wider, but I don't regret it anymore. I feel haggard because of the beauty. "

The melody is not very good, but the voice of this Xiangyun girl is still good.

Wei Guangde, who came from a later generation, commented in his heart that he was really not used to listening to these popular songs.

After Xiangyun girl finished singing a song, Wei Guangde also clapped with everyone.

Just think of it as a joke.

That's what Wei Guangde is thinking now. Anyway, he can't show that he doesn't like it, lest he be regarded as a bumpkin who doesn't understand music by the few scholars over there.

In fact, he is indeed a bumpkin who doesn't understand music.

For music, he can only simply judge whether it sounds good or not.

Miss Xiangyun also sang two songs and then came down to rest for a while, eat a few bites of food, drink a few glasses of wine with her, and invite the scholars and scholars present to join Fanghua Tower to support her.

Well, even to attract customers, it can be seen that the competition in Huanchang is also very fierce.

After resting for a while, not long after Miss Xiangyun started singing again, she heard a noise coming from the stairs. It seemed that someone was trying to come up, but they were blocked below.

Wei Guangde knew that these had nothing to do with him, that is, he only noticed these because he was not focused on listening to the music.

But after a while, he had to pay attention, because as expected, someone wanted to force his way upstairs. The store owner seemed to be just standing there and did not dare to refuse. He kept explaining and begging for mercy, but the other party also insisted on pushing and pushing on the corridor. The store owner walked up step by step.

"Liu, I went to your Fanghua Building to listen to Xiangyun singing, but you dared to bring people outside to come and go like a wild man."

"I've given you some face, but I didn't even say hello..."

There must be a lot of people in the corridor, and Wei Guangde heard people yelling and cursing intermittently.

The surname is Liu, Fanghua Tower, obviously these people are here for the Madam Liu.

Naturally, the noise in the corridor was also heard. Everyone at the wine table heard it and looked over curiously. However, after hearing the speaker clearly, the expressions of the people at the table became ugly.

Of course, those who changed their minds were Zeng Yuanshu, Wu Dong and others, Zeng Xingwu, and the two brothers from the Wei family. They still didn't understand the situation, and they just thought they were looking for the old bustard Liu.

Xiangyun's singing also stopped, and he looked towards the corridor with a very ugly expression. At this time, Madam Liu had already walked over quickly.

Wei Guangde noticed the changes in everyone's faces and guessed that there must be something going on. Naturally, he no longer looked at the strange things as easily as before, but paid attention to every move of the people at the table.

He had heard from his cousin Wu Dong before that the Zeng family was also a well-established family in Pengze County. The people causing trouble downstairs might not know the identities of the guests upstairs. The store owner was not a fool and must have told them early in the morning.

But now that things have happened, the other party is still trying to go upstairs very arrogantly. Even though Liu Laobao has passed by and is whispering something to the other party, it is obvious that she does not intend to let go. The purpose is also obvious. It is not a confrontation at all. He came with Xiang Yun and Liu Lao Bustard, but faced Zeng Yuanshu.

I'm afraid I can't be kind anymore.

Wei Guangde thought in his heart that people would come to make trouble during the Chinese New Year. After a while, the fight started, and looking at the dishes on the table, he was afraid that peace would be shattered.
