Chapter 204: The Banquet of the Nobles


"Haha, come on, come on, please inside" The old man in red stroked his beard, didn't give everyone much opportunity to look at Long Yu, and directly waved his hand to let Long Yu in.

So a group of people hula and went back, of course Long Yu walked last, into the front hall, turned the corner door, Long Yu followed everyone to a pavilion in front of the pavilion, this is a completely wooden attic, carved railings and paintings, vibrant, the painting outside the building is also very charming, there is a flower plaque hanging on the top of the first floor of the attic, the plaque is also written to a font that Long Yu does not know, but after careful inspection, Long Yu suddenly flashed in his mind, this font and he had seen it in the humble Zhai Mansion before, could it be said, What does that poor family have to do with this place, or is it a new type of calligraphy that is different?

However, if I count the schools of calligraphy in the mainland that I know in my head, I have never heard of such a school.

"Come, please" The old man in red smiled and shouted to Long Yu, who came back to his senses and followed the old man into the attic.

The first floor is a living room, the atmosphere is natural, the decorations inside are just some ordinary things, but there is no luxury in it, before Long Yu took a closer look, a group of people walked up the stairs, Long Yu naturally followed, what is the furnishings on the second floor Long Yu didn't have time to see at all, only to see a string of bead curtains and followed everyone directly to the third floor.

Passing through a garden gate and walking into it, Long Yu only felt that his eyes suddenly opened up, this is an extremely spacious hall, which is somewhat like a tea room for tea tasting, but if you look closely, it is a place of leisure and entertainment.

Everyone walked over, all took their seats, as a long table of Yunjin in front of them, the table was made of rosewood, exuding a fragrant smell, everyone took off their boots when they entered the door, wore a snow-white baby, knelt on the mat, sat upright, and made a Long Yu overwhelmed, looked around, and found that there was no one in the corner, Long Yu immediately walked over and knelt down.

This practice of kneeling on the ground is the etiquette of the orthodox nobles of the Xianglong Empire to entertain guests, although Long Yu has been specially trained, but he hates this etiquette very much, not to mention the discomfort of kneeling on his knees, the blood on his calves is not yet circulating, I really don't know, how these old people are kneeling with a pair of old legs there to talk and laugh.

The old man in red saw that Long Yu had found a place to sit down, he smiled slightly, and he didn't care about it anymore, he walked up to the main seat and sat in the middle of it, Long Yu took a look, and found that there were two tables on the left and right sides of the old man, and the one sitting on his left hand was the quiet elder of the Temple of Light, but the table in his right hand was empty, in front of the old man, on the left and right, a series of them were spread out, and the sandalwood tables were all laid out, and there were less than ten people sitting in the huge hall, which made it empty.

Long Yu turned his gaze, and then looked in front of him, there were four tall dishes, each only the size of a bowl, and there was a handful of food in it, red, green, meat, vegetarian, colorful, everything, but this amount is really pitiful, Long Yu roughly estimated that if he threw off his cheeks to eat, these dishes were not enough to be sandwiched one by one, however, this aristocratic banquet was not here to eat at all, so Long Yu just thought about it in his heart.

In addition to the four dishes of side dishes, there is also a pair of dishes and chopsticks on the table, plus a chic teacup, the teacup is boxy, it looks like a hat for rice, but it is much smaller than that, almost as big as an ordinary teacup, Long Yu raised the teacup curiously, stretched out his hand, but was shocked a lot.

This cup that looks like a wooden one, it is completely metallic to the touch, and the weight is not light, when Long Yu looked at the furnishings in front of him, the rest of the people in this hall were looking at him, everyone was very curious, this young man who had never met before, what could he be invited here by this Principal Zhai, among the people, only the old man in red was holding a teacup, squinting slightly, smelling the fragrance of tea gently, and ignoring the imagination in this hall.

After reading all the things in front of him, Long Yu raised his head, but when he raised his head, he was startled, and his eyes on both sides stared at him tightly, and Long Yu looked at the cold air on his back, these characters, everyone who can sit here, must be a master at the same level as the old man in red, you can imagine how terrible the eyes of these people are, Long Yu breathed softly, and cheered himself up in his heart.

"Headmaster, don't you introduce this little friend" In the end, the elder in white who had the best personal relationship with the old man in red opened his mouth, breaking this strange situation, and the old man in white who listened to it spoke, and everyone turned their eyes to the old man in red, looking forward to finding the answer from the old man in red.

"Ah, this son and I met in Pingshui, as for his surname and where he came from, I don't know, I don't hide it, just below, I know this son, it's just one night, because, he has a fate with me, so I invited him to come to Xiaozeze."

The old man in red stroked his beard and said.

As soon as the old man in red finished speaking, there was a slight gasping sound in the hall, and everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Long Yu again, they all wanted to see what was so special about this young man, and he could make the old man in red so worried when he only saw one side, in fact, Long Yu himself also wanted to know about this problem, if he knew that everyone thought so, he was probably very willing to take it out and discuss it together.

After gossiping, everyone just sighed, and then returned to normal, after all, they are all people at that level, and their cultivation skills are naturally not bad.

"Childe, why don't you introduce yourself to everyone" The old man in red took a sip of fragrant tea and said with a smile.

Long Yu hurriedly leaned over and saluted back, and replied loudly: "The seniors are ashamed of the boy, and when they meet in Pingshui, they can be favored by the seniors and see the masters, this is the blessing of the boy's cultivation, in front of you, the boy's turbid name is not mentioned."

"Haha, good eloquence, come on, let's have tea" The old man in red laughed twice, picked up the teacup and signaled to everyone, not caring at all about Long Yu's refusal.

After all, everyone sitting here is a famous person, since this person is reluctant to say, no matter how much he looks forward to it, it will be too bad, therefore, as soon as the old man signaled, everyone raised their glasses, the tea fell into their stomachs, and the embarrassing situation caused by the arrival of Long Yu was also broken, and they returned to the scene of sitting and talking.

Long Yu listened with his ears pricked up for a while and then lost interest, because what these masters talked about was nothing more elegant, and with Long Yu's knowledge and experience, it was like listening to astronomy, so he had to pretend to listen carefully, but his eyes were rolling around.

Although Long Yu has been professionally trained in the etiquette of this aristocratic banquet, this is the first time to participate in this formal participation, so he sat here and muttered in his heart, the small cup of tea had already been quickly sipped by him one after another, and Long Yu did not dare to eat the four dishes with unique shapes, because among the people in the room, Long Yu had not found a person who moved chopsticks, just like that, Long Yu knelt on his legs for a while, and then the old man in red shouted: "Okay, the guests are almost done, serve the food" "Yes, master" I don't know where the response came from, Long Yu only felt like a natural sound, and finally could change to something else, because, at the same time as the aristocratic banquet was served, the song and dance performance would also start, so that Long Yu would not be bored.

A melodious music opened, Long Yu looked up, but he didn't see the performers, and couldn't help but be curious, such a big room, where are those musicians hiding Just when Long Yu looked around, a slip of the elegantly dressed maids walked in, each with fluttering clothes like fairies, but they were holding a tray in their hands, and there were two dishes on the plate, and beside the maids, there was a family member holding a small table, and the two teams of people walked in from the outside.

Accompanied by the music, the family quickly removed the tea table in front of everyone and put it on the small table they brought, Long Yu looked at it fixedly, and muttered in his heart, this table is smaller than the tea table just now, and there are not a few dishes.

As soon as I finished muttering in my heart, I looked at the house Ding lightly touched it under the table, and there was a sound of "card rubbing", and the table automatically extended and expanded, becoming a standard dining table more than one meter long and half a meter wide.

The serving lasted for two sections, and it took several batches of maids to completely serve the dishes, and after the maids walked out, the hall was spacious again, and Long Yu had time to take a look at the dishes on the table.

There are a total of four hot and four cold two snacks and a platter of snacks and a small pot of soup on the table, take a closer look, Long Yu has a number in his heart, these dishes are the highest standard dishes, belonging to the level of mountain and sea delicacies, Long Yu is a son of the duke's family, these dishes are naturally eaten a lot, but what makes Long Yu strange is that one of the cold dishes, he doesn't know, this is a plate of food arranged in two layers, the upper layer is crystal-shaped, it looks black and mushy, the lower layer is tender but milky white, these two layers of things, It seems to be a slice of meat, but it doesn't look like it, and the color of the dish is also the worst in the whole table, Long Yu couldn't help but be curious, how could such a dish come up with the delicacies of the mountains and seas:
