Hypocrites

Niu Lu was originally Duan and Lian's best friend, and he was often present at Xie Ling Pavilion and Chen Yutang's gatherings.I heard that the family lived in Nanlu, and built a large house, built gardens and pavilions, dug lakes and opened ponds, diverted water to flow through, and built buildings and pavilions, with scattered heights.

There are countless rare birds and animals in the garden, and exotic flowers of Yaocao.Every spring, the birds chirp, the butterflies dance, and the scenery is so beautiful.

With Qiu Qianli's house in Nanlu, they are known as the twin sisters of Wangcheng.Two people have been fighting for wealth for a long time. Today your house is one inch bigger than mine, tomorrow I will move the wall by one foot. Last month you built a tall building, next month I will build a tower.

Qiu Zhai and Niu Yuan need to be rebuilt from time to time, and the fun tricks are renewed day by day.

Liang Heng couldn't stand being teased by Duan and Lian.Shen Yu has been giving in to him recently, so the four of them went together.

In the cattle garden, there was a fake landscape bigger than the small courtyard of Shen's family, which made the corners of Shen Yu's mouth twitch.There are also several white birds in the water, playing and playing, spreading their wings like cranes, with feather crowns on their foreheads.

"What is that..." Duan Yanling remembered, "Is it the same kind as the corolla bird in Gui Palace?"

Liang Heng was also dumbfounded.

The foreign tribute that the queen talks about, there is only one in the palace, but there are a group of them in the cattle garden.

Niu Lu greeted the four of them outside the hall.

There is no screen in front of the hall, but bead curtains are hung down, each of which is as crystal clear as glass, and the collision makes a clear sound of jade beating.About half of the city's wealth is on the facade of hanging the amplitude.

"His Royal Highness is here, the humble house is full of splendor." Niu Lu greeted him warmly.

Although he was young, he had a radiant face, a plump body and a wealthy appearance, leading Liang Heng to the first position on the left.Duan Yanling, Lian Zhen, and Shen Yu are listed in order.

Niu Lu was also very considerate to Shen Yu, even though he was not one with a rich family background among these noble sons.

"Counselor Shen's talent is as famous as thunder, and I, a vulgar person who doesn't know poetry, will have to rely on Counselor Shen for advice in the future!"

It seemed that Shen Yu was probably under Liang Heng's favor. Although he was only a mere counselor to the crown prince at the moment, everyone understood that he would be a minister of the emperor in the future.

Niu Lu's guests might be familiar to Shen Yu, and most of them caught a glimpse of Chen Yutang.

The young master treats guests, and the one who invites is also the young master.In the future, these people will inherit the positions of their fathers and stand on the temple that the poor can only dream of.Wealth does not know suffering, and wealth does not know hardship, which reminds Shen Yu of Song Jun, Yan Ran, and Deng Yang. If they appear in such a scene, they can only be restless and unwilling to be with them.

The owner is warm and forthright in hospitality, and delicacies from mountains and seas are continuously delivered to the food table. This one is bird’s nest, the other is sea cucumber, there are fish pine, roast goose with soft-shelled turtle, and those who are flying in the sky and crawling on the ground are all wronged by the snacks. In the box, one box weighs one box, and the pile is higher than the head.

"The first batch of fish thawed in the river water is known to all the fishermen in the city, so they must be delivered to my house immediately," Niu Lu said.

"Your Highness, you can't taste it in the palace!"

Niu Lu was triumphant, and he himself said that the first batch of fish in the whole city was at his house, so he wanted to ask Liang Heng one more question.Liang Heng grinned and said, "If I can eat, why do I come to your house?"

Niu Lu laughed out loud.

The serving Meiji held the chopsticks for Shen Yu and brought them to his mouth. Shen Yu couldn't bear it anymore, so he quickly refused. Looking at Duan and Lian, they handled it freely, and they were already beautiful in their arms.

Liang Heng also got two special maidservants, who were so beautiful that they could be called a shy flower in the moon, and whose body was as fragrant as orchids, they snuggled up to his left and right.Liang Heng was also very embarrassed, and happened to meet Shen Yu's gaze, both of them bowed their heads together with a tacit blush on their faces.

Shen Yu wondered in his heart, didn't Liang Heng often hang out with Duan Yanling for banquets, why did he suddenly have a coy attitude?

"Life is like a gift, and the joy is short." Duan Yanling was overjoyed, and praised Niu Lu, "Only like Brother Niu, living in a fairyland, drinking fairy dew, and eating fairy food, is happiness! Do your best!"

Everyone echoed.

A voice came from the hall:

"Brother Duan's words are wrong. After all, food is the food of the world. Even if the materials are extremely precious and the craftsmanship is exhausted, how can it be compared with fairy food?"

The young man dressed in a silver robe with crimson red pattern, and stepped into the hall gracefully.She had a pretty face like a good girl, and she was quite feminine. It was Qiu Qianli who once made an arrogant appearance at the emperor's birthday banquet.

As soon as Niu Lu saw him, he said, "You're late again, this time you have to be punished with six cups!"

Compared with Niu Lu, who is full of fat and belly, Qiu Qianli can be regarded as a beautiful woman, and when she smiles, some servants in the hall look at her in a daze.

"Okay," Qiu Qianli sighed, and sat down on the ground, "Bring the wine."

Maggie filled a glass for him with a blushing face.

Qiu Qianli drank it in one gulp.

"It's bad water, it's not worth it."

The chatter and laughter in the hall suddenly subsided, Niu Lu's face was slightly stiff, and he asked his servants to bring up the dusty wine.

The mud seal was opened, and the rich aroma of wine poured out.

Qiu Qianli took a sip: "It's rice wine, its taste is very light."

Niu Lu couldn't sit still anymore, and personally fetched the treasured shochu. It is said that the wine jar was filled with a treasured sword from Kaifeng. Drinking it, it was like being cut with blood from throat to spleen and stomach.

Meiji filled a wine bowl for Qiu Qianli. This time, he only took a sniff under his nose, then he was disappointed, and shook his sleeves: "Brother Niu, brother Niu, you don't welcome me and want to drive me away? What? You actually fooled me with such inferior products?"

There was silence all around.

Niu Lu's face turned from green to black, as if he was covered with the bottom of a pot. After holding back for a long time, he grabbed the wine jar and took a big gulp. The wine was so spicy that he coughed repeatedly.

It is undoubtedly real wine.

Everyone couldn't help but tasted the shochu in the bowl one after another, the taste couldn't be more authentic.However, among the rich and wealthy in Wangcheng, Qiu Qianli was the first to be promoted, and Niu Lu was the second. Qiu Qianli said that it was not good wine, and everyone dared not make any suggestions, for fear of being ridiculed by ignorance.

Sitting behind the master seat, Niu Lu didn't respond for a long time, maybe he was regretting why he invited Qiu Qianli.Suddenly, he jumped up against the case, pointed at Qiu Qianli's Meiji and yelled, "You prostitute don't know what's good! You don't know how to serve! It's not your fault that the nobleman can't eat enough and drink well!"

Mei Ji hurriedly bowed her head to admit her mistake.

Liang Heng smoothed things over and said, "Why get so angry..."

Niu Lu said: "Drag it down and kill it!"

Liang Heng: "..."

Shen Yu: "..."

Duan Yanling slowly put down the wine glass in his hand.

With a smile on his face, Qiu Qianli turned a blind eye to Meiji who was begging for her robe, and only smoothed the wrinkles when the servants came up to drag her away.

"Brother Niu," Liang Heng said, "Niu Lu..."

Two powerful attendants brought a sack and put Meiji in it from head to toe, carried the bag on the shoulders of the two of them, and carried it to the second floor where everyone feasted.There was a sound of footsteps creaking planks overhead.The screaming continued to be piercing.

Liang Heng: "I said you..."

The sound of footsteps reached the railing, and something was thrown down, hitting the jade steps below the hall with a bang.The screams stopped abruptly.

The sackcloth pockets were stained bright red.

Everyone was silent.

Beside the food table, Shen Yu could not help trembling when he felt the servant girl serving him.

Niu Lu said: "This servant made a mistake, I have already punished it. Brother Qiu, now you can enjoy it to your heart's content."

The blood seemed to crawl along the floor onto Qiu Qianli's red robe, making his smile look wicked and triumphant, and he still didn't answer Niu Lu.

"Everyone, the banquet continues, just enjoy yourself!"

There were still people who could eat and drink, and some even vomited on the spot.The beautiful maid was at a loss for what to do with a full wine glass.

"Pounced." Niu Lu said calmly.

The face of the man who vomited was like gold paper, and the maidservant who served him immediately became limp and burst into tears. She was held by the wrestler's ribs, dragged him upstairs, and a red sack was added to the hall.

"Please drink." Niu Lu gestured to the guests.

Huang Teng wine, glass cups, like a talisman, tears filled the eyes of the maids, and forced smiles under the master's lust, begging the guests to drink the wine with miserable eyes.

Some drank it, others didn't.

Duan Yanling picks up the fish meat like picking silk, and ignores the glass of wine.The woman serving the wine knelt beside him, shaking like chaff.

Lian Zhen said in a daze, "Yanling..."

The person in the chief seat said: "Drag on."

The wine glass in the woman's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, and the wine spilled all over the floor, but it didn't get on Mr. Duan's expensive clothes.

"He killed his servants," Duan Yanling said indifferently, "it has nothing to do with me."

Slaves and maidservants are the property of their masters, and they cannot be disposed of by themselves.Human life is nothing but catkins floating in the wind, which will be scattered with a flick of the wind.

Shen Yu drank the shochu in Meiji's trembling hands, half of it burned through his throat, and half of it fell on his collar, and the ice was cold against his heart.

That Meiji's out-of-body soul fell back into her body, and she almost kowtowed to him.

"Your Highness," Niu Lu urged, "please drink."

Liang Heng didn't respond.The two beauties on the left and right couldn't help but cast their bodies on the ground and wept aloud.

Shen Yu raised his eyes and saw that the strength of the wine remained in his mouth, and it rushed to the top of the sky so hot that he couldn't see Liang Heng's appearance clearly.

Niu Lu then said, "Drag..."

Liang Heng's wine glass stomped heavily on the food table, making a dull sound.

"I said, enough is enough."

Niu Lu said: "The lowly servant girl offended His Highness and defeated His Highness, how can she not be punished?"

The two beauties were erected by the wrestlers, and their makeup was completely spent. The flowers of [-] years are about to wither in the season of recovery of all things.

"The things in the minister's house are not good for your highness, so I also ask your highness to forgive me."

"Your Highness," Qiu Qianli said leisurely, "you can take care of his slick mouth, the beauty of the world is shared by the world, why has it become Niu Lu's own property. Since it is his own property, why don't you just let him torment it , How can outsiders control it?"

Liang Heng was furious, and threw a cup at Niu Lu, smashing his forehead, causing him to kneel down and beg for mercy.

The prince was furious, and the two dared not speak any more.

Lishi let go of the two maidservants, and they immediately limp on the ground as if they had lost their bones.

Duan Yanling had seen enough, poured himself a glass of wine, tasted a little, and said very disappointedly: "What's the matter, what do you think?"

He asked Lian Zhen, but Lian Zhen didn't answer him.

The spring light shines over the cow garden, and under the tile eaves, the two sacks are coated with the color of the sun, the fragrance of flowers and the fresh air of the pool water.

The white birds are still swimming, and the red blood is buried in the ground.
