Chapter two hundred and fortieth banquet

The Huixian Tower tonight has been booked by the Chamber of Commerce, and it is now full of people from the Chamber of Commerce.

"President Cui, why haven't this magistrate come yet?" a man sat next to Cui and asked quietly.

"Don't worry, I'll come. When I went to send the invitation, the magistrate agreed in person." The President Cui sat calmly, not worried.

Before he finished speaking, he heard someone shouting outside, "The magistrate is here."

Everyone hurried out to greet him, but Lin Zixuan and the people from the county government came to the door of the restaurant. The two presidents quickly came to the front, "Thank you, sir, for the viewing of the scenery. Come on, the food and food are ready, just wait for the sir to come." As he said that, he gave everyone inside.

The people from the county government sat around several tables, and the people from the chamber of commerce also sat down. For a moment, the entire restaurant was full of seats.

The guy started serving the dishes. This Xianlou is the best restaurant in the entire county town, and the dishes they cooked are also pretty good.

When the wine and food were all in one go, President Cui stood up and raised his glass and said, "Today, this is the first gathering since the establishment of our Chamber of Commerce. I have to thank Lord Lin for his willingness to appreciate his face and attend our party. Come, let us all give Lord Lin a glass of wine first. Thank you Lord Lin for his hard work and contributions to the welfare of the people over the years."

Everyone present raised their wine glasses, and many people agreed.

Zixuan waved his hand and said with a smile, "I dare not take the hard work and work hard, but I just do my best. Since Lin is a parent here, he naturally has to consider the local people, and serve as an official and benefit the people. If he sits in the position of the magistrate, but does nothing and is a corpse-like meal, wouldn't he betray the emperor? We will receive the salary of the court and should help the court. Lin's mere achievements are not worthy of merit." Who wouldn't say anything about the scene?

When President Cui heard this, his smile froze a little, and then he recovered. "Sir, I'm so humble. Come on, let's have this glass first." As he said that, he raised his head and drank the wine.

Of course, everyone present also drank wine. Zixuan had a good alcohol tolerance, so of course he didn't care. Ziwen was beside Zixuan, but he was very alert and put down his glass after sucking a little.

With President Cui, everyone started to toast you and I also toast. Zixuan drank all the time without changing his expression, and everyone kept applauding.

Suddenly, President Cui said, "It's so boring to drink like this. I have a few kabukis at home, all of which I have invited from Yangzhou for a lot of money. In this way, I asked them to come out and sing a song and dance to help me liven up." This old guy then used the final trick.

President Cui clapped his hands and saw four women coming out from behind. These women were slender and slender. When they walked, they were like weak willows. The twisted waist made the men present unable to help but stare blankly.

Four women stood in front of everyone, one of whom held a piano and the other held a flute. The remaining two had nothing to hold, but the long silk on their shoulders made people know at a glance that these were two dancers.

The four women are typical Jiangnan beauties, with small and delicate facial features. Not to mention the national beauty, they are also considered rare beauty. The four of them reported their names one by one, "I'm a fish in my family."

"The geese fell in my family."

"My family is closed."

"I'm ashamed to the flowers."

The voice is delicate, with a soft murmur from the Jiangnan water town, which makes it a special feeling.

These four women actually have the names of fish falling and geese falling, and the moon shy of flowers. Although they are not as good as those beautiful beauties who are fascinating to the whole country, the name is unique and very compatible with people.

President Cui waved his hand, "You four are here, even though you have shown their skills, there are our magistrates present today. Don't embarrass me, do you know?" This old guy looked very proud when he saw the appearance of everyone present.

"Yes." Several women responded, and then the one holding the piano sat behind the zither table that had been prepared long ago, put down the Yaoqin, fiddled with the strings of the piano. The one holding the flute stood beside the woman playing the piano, put the flute on her lips, and blew out a melodious tune.

With the music together, the remaining two women swung their tempting willow waists and began to dance. The two dancers had light bodies and graceful dance postures, which was indeed extraordinary.

Everyone in the field was stunned, and some men looked straight.

President Cui looked at the people in the venue proudly, feeling very happy. He bought these four women for a lot of money, and he was not willing to touch them. He kept offering them like ancestors. He looked back at Lin Zixuan, but found that Zixuan was playing with the wine glass in his hand and did not look at the dance in front of him like others. President Cui's smile froze on his face.

"Mr. Lin, but these two dancers are not dancing well?" President Cui asked.

"Okay, very good. It's as graceful as a stunning geese, and as a striking dragon. This dance should only be found in the sky. How could it be bad?" Zixuan smiled. "I have never seen such a graceful dance move. President Cui is so blessed to be able to watch it every day."

"Sir, that's really good. Sir, continue watching. These two dancers have a lot of skills. The other two have a clear voice. I'll let them sing two small songs for them later." President Cui said proudly after hearing Zixuan's words.

"Qingyin and wonderful dance, fine wine and food. Such a beautiful time and scenery, you guys, don't drink it, when are you waiting?" Zixuan picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one go.

Everyone also drank wine, and then they whispered to each other about the four women. When they were together, they would inevitably say some dirty words, which made the people next to them laugh.

When the dance ended, President Cui asked the two women to sing a song again, so the two women started singing, and a southern tune came out leisurely. The voices of these two women were clear and moist, just like pearls walking on jade plates, and even more like yellow orioles coming out of the valley. For a moment, people's hearts were moved and obsessed.

After a small song was over, everyone seemed to wake up from a dream, clapping their hands. "Okay, it's a good sing."

Zixuan also smiled and said, "It's indeed a beautiful song and a wonderful dance, unparalleled. Okay, Lin only saw such a singing voice in his life. President Cui is a capable woman. She can get four such a beautiful woman. She is amazing, and I admire her."

President Cui was happy when he heard this and said to the four women, "I'm not here to worship Lord Lin, why are you standing there?"

The four women came near, and the one who was playing the piano held a wine pot in his hand and poured a glass of wine for Zixuan. Then they picked up the wine glass, "Mr. Lin, I'll toast you a glass of wine." As they said that, they held the wine glass to Zixuan's mouth.

Zixuan reached out to take the wine glass, "I dare not work, girl, I'd better do it myself." As he said that, he drank the wine.

The other women also came to worship Zixuan's wine in this way. Zixuan drank all the wine without changing his expression. Ziwen, who was standing beside him, was a little anxious. Zixuan drank a lot tonight, and if he continued to drink like this, he would have to be drunk.

"Brother, drink less." Ziwen said softly.

"It's okay, just be careful." Zixuan whispered.

After watching the dance and listening to the song, President Cui coughed, and then President Jiang said, "Mr. Lin, we have a few things to discuss at this party today. One, of course, what we told the adults last time. The other is that the county needs to build dams and moats. The construction of dams is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Although we are all businessmen with a stinky smell, we also know that the overall situation is the most important thing. However, one thousand taels is really too much, and we really can't afford so much. In this way, each of our families will take out 100 taels, which is our part. What do you think?”

Someone next to him echoed, "Isn't it? Sir, we, who are leaving our hometown, came to the east of this town and built a small workshop just to earn some food. These days, it's hard to make money. Nowadays, the raw materials are getting higher and higher, and the workers' wages are also rising. But we can't buy our things, and we can't make a lot of money from this round-trip. If we have money, let alone one thousand taels, or five thousand taels, for the local people, and for ourselves, the money should be paid. However, we really can't afford so much money, and I hope the adults will be more considerate." These people were crying and poor.

At this time, President Cui also said, "Sir, you have seen it. Everyone says this. It's not me who is like this, it's the same. Sir, we have to pay for this money, but I still hope that 100 taels can be understood by us. One hundred taels is the most we can take out." Speaking of this, President Cui winked at Chen Yu next to him.

Chenyu leaned on Zixuan's body and said softly, "Sir, my master is telling the truth. I don't know, the master said two days ago that if I can't make any money, I will send my servants back to Yangzhou and sell them. The family really can't afford to support us. Please pity me, please." As he said that, his little hand was put on Zixuan's shoulder.

Zixuan pushed her hand away, leaned to the side, and avoided the woman's soft body. "Girl, you were tired just now, so you'd better go to the side to rest."

The woman's face changed. She had never failed to do this just now. Few men could resist such tricks. Unexpectedly, the young magistrate in front of her was unmoved at all. The woman looked at President Cui and didn't know what to do.

President Cui's expression changed slightly, "Sir, I feel sorry for you, so you can go and rest for a while and come to serve you later." As he said that, he shook his head at several women.
