Chapter 32 32 Trouble During the New Year

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, noble people when you go out, good news at home, and finally... red envelopes!

"Today, Miss Xiangyun has to work hard, so that my cousin can see the elegance of our Jiangxi beauties."

After introducing the scholars present, Zeng Yuanshu ordered the restaurant to decorate.

Jingshui Tower has only three floors, which is not very big. Although it is beautifully decorated with carved beams and painted buildings, it also shows the luxury of the restaurant.

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

Today, Zeng Yuanshu reserved the third floor. Except for the guests he invited, naturally no one else would come up.

Wei Guangde estimated that the area of ​​the third floor was about dozens of square meters, which was not small, but it was obvious that there were tables, chairs and benches stacked behind the screen.

Obviously, because it was a private banquet, the restaurant moved the extra tables and chairs to the corner and separated them with a screen.

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

The madam's surname was Liu, and she was the madam of Fanghua Tower. The guests called her Liu Madam, and the girl she brought was Xiangyun, the top star of Fanghua Tower. They were also invited by Mr. Zeng to sing and cheer.

Madam Liu took Xiangyun to toast a glass of wine one by one. As an old hand in the entertainment field, she naturally knew that through the way of toasting, she could get a general understanding of the guests in just a few words.

When it was Wei Guangde's turn, after all, he still had a baby face, and he was still a child at a glance. After looking at the wine glass on the table, Madam Liu asked Xiangyun to come forward and pour him a glass of wine. Wei Guangde had the opportunity to take a closer look at Miss Xiangyun at this time.

Beauty, indeed a beauty, but now she doesn't look as stunning as before.

When Wei Guangde saw Miss Xiangyun for the second time, he didn't have the same feeling as before, and he felt a little strange.

However, as Xiangyun raised her cup to toast, Wei Guangde suddenly realized something.

When he traveled to the Ming Dynasty, he saw his mother and some women in the town. They were all dressed up, but not like this couple, who were dressed up and had pearl hairpins and jade rings on their heads.

Well, it was that Wei's mother didn't dress up before, and her headdress was also very simple, so Wei Guangde had never seen the beauty of women in ancient costumes.

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

Although the cousin and her daughter dressed up, it was also very simple, and they didn't wear many pearl hairpins on their heads.

It was the first time that Wei Guangde felt the beauty of Hanfu beauties here with Miss Xiangyun.

Come to think of it, if they didn't pay attention to their appearance, they wouldn't have to do business.

After the musicians were ready, Miss Xiangyun began to sing songs to liven up the banquet.

It was the first time that Wei Guangde heard popular music here in the Ming Dynasty.

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

Although many of the Chinese-style or classical music that are advertised are claimed to be ancient-style songs.

However, in Wei Guangde's opinion at this moment, it seems to be far apart.

Of course, it's not 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 busy playing and singing, but Wei Guangde was still very uncomfortable.

However, when a table of people saw the music start and Miss Xiangyun started singing, they gradually stopped talking and listened to the melodious singing, looking intoxicated.

At this time, Wei Guangde had to admit that after hundreds of years of progress, the musical instruments have been constantly innovated, and the sound quality and timbre are actually more perfect and beautiful.

I can't hear it.

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

However, after listening to the music carefully, Wei Guangde made another amazing discovery. The Ming Dynasty actually highly praised Song Ci.

I listened to Miss Xiangyun singing two songs, both of which were Liu Yong's lyrics, love songs.

"Standing on the dangerous tower, the wind is blowing gently, looking at the spring sorrow, the sky is dark. In the fading light of the grass and smoke, who will lean on the railing without words?

I want to get drunk and sing to the wine, but forced happiness is tasteless. I will never regret that my clothes are getting looser and looser, and I am exhausted for her."

The melody is not very good, but Miss Xiangyun's voice is still good.

Wei Guangde from the future commented in his heart that he was really not used to listening to these popular songs.

After Miss Xiangyun finished singing a song, Wei Guangde also clapped and cheered with everyone.

Just treat it as a joke.

This is what Wei Guangde thought in his heart now. Anyway, he couldn't show that he didn't like it, so as not to be regarded as a bumpkin who didn't understand music by the scholars over there.

In fact, he was indeed a bumpkin who didn't understand music.

For music, he could only make a simple judgment, whether it was good or not.

Miss Xiangyun also sang two songs and then came down to rest for a while, ate a few bites of food, drank a few cups of wine with others, and invited the scholars and scholars present to come to Fanghua Tower to support her.

Well, it was to attract customers, which shows that the competition in the entertainment venue was also very fierce.

Just after taking a short break, Miss Xiangyun started singing again, and soon after, she heard a noise coming from the stairs, as if someone wanted to come up, but was blocked below and couldn't come up.

Wei Guangde knew that these had nothing to do with him, and it was because his mind was not on listening to the music that he noticed these.

But after a while, he couldn't help but pay attention, because someone was really trying to force his way upstairs. The store owner seemed to be just blocking there and didn't dare to refuse. He kept explaining and begging for mercy, but the other party was also stubborn, constantly pushing the store owner in the corridor and walking up step by step.

"Mr. Liu, I went to your Fanghua Building to listen to Xiangyun singing, and you dared to bring people outside to play with wild men."

"I gave you face, but you didn't even say hello..."

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

Mr. Liu, Fanghua Building, it was obvious that these people were coming for the old procuress Liu.

The noise in the corridor naturally came over, and everyone at the wine table heard it and looked over curiously, but after hearing who was talking clearly, the faces of the people at the table looked bad.

Of course, the ones who changed color were Zeng Yuanshu, Wu Dong and others. Zeng Shengwu and the two brothers of the Wei family were still confused about the situation and thought they were looking for the old procuress Liu.

Xiangyun stopped singing and looked towards the corridor with a bad face. At this time, the old procuress Liu had already walked over quickly.

Wei Guangde noticed the changes in everyone's faces and guessed that something must be wrong. Naturally, he no longer looked at the strangeness as he did before, but paid attention to the actions of the people at the table.

He had heard from his cousin Wu Dong before that the Zeng family was also a well-known and well-known family in Pengze County. The people making trouble downstairs might not know the identity of the guests upstairs. The store owner was not a fool and must have known it early.

But the matter has been going on until now, and the other party is still very arrogant and wants to go upstairs. Even though the old procuress Liu has gone over and whispered something to the other party, it is obvious that the other party does not intend to let go. The purpose is very clear. It is not for Xiangyun and the old procuress Liu, but for Zeng Yuanshu.

I am afraid it will not end well.

Wei Guangde thought to himself that if they came to cause trouble during the New Year, and if they started fighting, he was afraid that peace would be ruined if he looked at the table full of food.
