Seeing that everyone was gathered, Li Hui and Qin Huaiyu also sat down on the left and right of Xiao Feng. Naturally, Qin Huaiyu, the master, sat on the left of Xiao Feng and Li Hui on the right.
" Then, Li Hui nodded slightly towards Qin Huaiyu, and Qin Huaiyu stood up and congratulated him as the master.
The content of the congratulatory speech is nothing more than the honor to invite "Master Xiao" and "Master Murong" to today's banquet, etc. They are all polite remarks.
However, in Qin Huaiyu's congratulatory speech, he undoubtedly raised the status of "Master Murong" to the level of being on par with "Master Xiao", and there were many words of praise and blame for "Master Murong".
Xiao Feng is naturally clear about this kid's intentions, but how can Xiao Feng pay attention to such tricks.
Xiao Feng would like to see what these guys will do next.
After Qin Huaiyu gave his congratulations, the banquet officially began.
Today¡¯s banquet is very different from last night¡¯s banquet.
In fact, after being influenced by the Goryeo people, some habits of the Tang Dynasty have also changed to a greater or lesser extent, such as drinking at banquets.
Yesterday¡¯s celebration banquet was like the way in later generations, with people eating and drinking at the same time.
This way of drinking and dining at the same time has a more lively atmosphere and has become popular on some festive occasions.
But, in fact, in the traditional Tang Dynasty banquet, eating and drinking were not done at the same time.
Especially a banquet like this where some people with ulterior motives have invited "Master Xiao" and "Master Murong" to participate. Naturally, it has to be arty, so it is definitely not possible to have a meal while drinking. "Too unbecoming."
So, after the banquet started, more than ten delicacies were served on the table in front of everyone like a stream of water. The people participating in the banquet immersed themselves in eating. Even Murong Shuiyue was allowed to wait for someone to serve him. I took a bowl of indescribable soup and slowly tasted it.
However, for this kind of meal, everyone only tasted it briefly, and the main topic was still drinking.
Drinking while listening to singing and dancing music is an extremely popular way of drinking nowadays.
After a short while, servants came in again and removed all the delicacies in front of everyone. After cleaning the table, they served all kinds of dried fruits and various fine wines.
At this time, the banquet officially began.
So, under the leadership of Li Hui, everyone toasted the first glass of wine to Xiao Feng, and Murong Shuiyue's long piano sound followed her low singing.
But it has to be said that Murong Shuiyue¡¯s reputation as a ¡°big master¡± is not in vain.
Her music and singing are as outstanding as her appearance, making people unable to help but be intoxicated and lingering over them.
Of course, Xiao Feng has heard equally elegant piano music, which was written by Li Manyu. However, given Li Manyu's status, ordinary people would not have the chance to listen to her piano music. Only Xiao Feng, Only then could a beautiful woman perform it for him so lovingly.
Amidst the elegant music of Murong Shuiyue, four outstanding Yunyuelou kabuki actors slowly entered the room and started singing and dancing in the audience.
This made the scene even more exciting. Almost everyone was shaking their heads, mesmerized by Murong Shuiyue's beautiful piano and singing.
After a long time, the song came to an end, and the four kabuki singers bowed slowly and quietly retreated.
Immediately, there was an extremely gentle sound of applause and applause.
Xiao Feng found it really funny. If the people present were all the literati and poets, their behavior was really in line with their words and deeds. However, the people present were all those who seemed to be pretending to be polite and arty, but in fact they were still pretending to be polite and arty. The big men in the army were very interesting to Xiao Feng.
At this time, Cheng Chuliang, the second eldest son of the Cheng family, glanced at Li Hui secretly, but Li Hui smiled and nodded slightly at him.
Cheng Chuliang, who understood it in his mind, shouted: "Murong, everyone, why do the lyrics and music I heard today seem to have been heard before? Are there any new lyrics or music that I can listen to for pleasure?"
¡°It seems that Cheng Chuliang can¡¯t pretend to be polite even if he wants to. As soon as he opens his mouth, his secret is revealed and he is full of rude words.
Cheng Chuliang's words immediately reminded the Luoyang princes and party members in the audience of what Li Hui had explained in advance. They immediately threw their heartfelt praise behind their backs and started cheering together.
"Yes, yes, do you have new lyrics and music? Murong please send us new lyrics and music."
Murong Shuiyue had obviously seen many scenes like this, but she was not annoyed. She just smiled sweetly, called the maid next to her, and gave a few gentle instructions, and then the smart maid went down to make arrangements. Everything.
After a while, the second song begins.
So, these arty guys started shaking their heads again and indulged in it.
After the song ended, there was still a long-lasting sound of palm stroking in harmony, but it was also the same extremely harsh and critical voice as usual.
"We want new lyrics and new music, new lyrics and new music!"
The person who made the attack this time was the second son of Li Jing's family, Li Dejiao. Li Dejiao's words made Murong Shuiyue's face become a little bit dumbfounded, but she was really angry in her heart. She could tell this time that this gang Young Master is here specifically to find fault.
Because the second song she played and sang had never been performed in public before. It was definitely her new song and song. If you hadn't seen the people present today, they were all the most powerful young men in Luoyang today, and they were in the middle. The person sitting there was said to be the brother of King Qin and the chief steward. She had long since gotten up and walked away in anger.
This time, even Xiao Feng couldn't stand it any longer. This was not trying to intimidate him. It was just a bunch of big men trying to make things difficult for Mo Rong.
Unexpectedly, this was just the beginning of these guys' plan to deal with Xiao Feng.
Li Hui made another gesture towards Cheng Chuliang, and Cheng Chuliang nodded again with understanding. Then he stood up from his position and suppressed the noise in the field with both hands.
"Brothers, listen to me!"
Cheng Chuliang¡¯s voice, which was like a broken gong, was still quite powerful, and the place was completely silent for a moment.
"Brothers, today we have the honor to invite Mr. Murong to perform on the stage, but we must not forget that we also have Mr. Xiao! Mr. Xiao is a great scholar who has studied abroad and in Byzantium for more than ten years. He must be very good at poetry and poetry. In this aspect, we have extremely profound attainments, why not ask our Xiao master to show off his talents, so that rough people like us can have the opportunity to experience some elegant art. Brothers, what do you think?"
¡°Obviously, this was premeditated, so naturally there was a chorus of agreement from the audience.
At this moment, Xiao Feng finally realized that these little guys had indeed made a clever arrangement.
This time, they took the opportunity to attack Murong Shuiyue, and then naturally brought it on themselves. If I really didn't have the strength, gave in a little or performed poorly, wouldn't I be worse than "Murong and others"?
It was rumored that the Xiao family of Xiao, who was studying abroad and Byzantine, was not as good as Murong who was born in the Qinglou Murong. Then he still has a face and a teacher of Li Yan?
It seems that I still underestimated the tricks of these little guys. They planned it layer by layer and used "Murong's people" as a foreshadowing. In fact, in the end, they caught my attention. Now I only look at Murong Shuiyue's face. From the expression that he couldn't laugh or cry, but was secretly angry, it could be seen that even this "Master Murong" was probably being used by these guys.
Facing this kind of provocation, how can Xiao Feng retreat?
So, Xiao Feng¡¯s face showed an expression that was half a smile but not a smile.
Xiao Feng is a low-key person and doesn't like to be in the limelight, but if he is forced to be in the limelight, there is nothing he can do.
