Houmen's concubine

Chapter 109 Spring Banquet

Because Qinzhou is a rich place, they brought an endless stream of gifts, jewelry such as solid gold peaches, jade bracelets, etc., as well as medicinal herbs such as wild ginseng, ganoderma lucidum, and cordyceps, and it was very lively.

Parents all hope to find a well-matched and satisfied (daughter-in-law) handsome son-in-law when they come here.

The Spring Banquet has officially started, and it is also the time to come to participate in the talent show of Chunri Anzhong Girls.

The Qin family has a special stage, and usually on major festivals, as well as the birthdays of the masters of the house, the troupe is invited to sing plays for three days.

Today's spring banquet is held on the stage. The reason is, of course, the stage is well built. Isn't it the best place for ladies to perform their talents?

Wen Xiuyun, the only direct daughter of Boss Wen who runs the grain store, is good at playing the pipa.

Ms. Li Shuqin, the granddaughter of Boss Li, a porcelain merchant, is best at Huxuan dance, and Luyao and Tuozhi are also very good at dancing.

The youngest daughter of Zhuang Zhou, the owner of the largest silk shop in Qinzhou, Zhou Xiaoxiao is a talented woman who loves to recite poetry and paint.

She wrote a painting and wrote a poem on the spot, and everyone praised her again: "You are indeed a talented woman!"

There is also Zhu's natal family, the richest salt merchant Zhu's family. The Zhu family has the most people here today. There are two natal nephews and three nieces, Zhu Peipei.

Zhu Peipei's three nieces jointly performed a show, one person played, one performed dance and the other sang ditties.It's also refreshing and creative.

Unexpectedly, the Qinzhou area is different, unmarried men also have to perform on stage.

Not only that, but in the end, the men and women each presented the one with the best talent to receive prizes.

Next to it is a piece of red sandalwood that is not too short, and in an exquisite flower basket, there are dozens of beautiful red roses that have just been picked.

When the talent show is over, each person takes a rose flower and puts it on the long short table in front of the unmarried men and women participating in the performance. Those who spend the most will win prizes.

The prize is said to have come from the West, but it turned out to be two pocket watches made of pure gold.

The pocket watch is exquisite in workmanship and expensive.

Today's Great Zhou Dynasty has already connected ships with the Western side, and there have been ship merchants in the middle, but because of the long distance, these foreign goods are extremely precious.

Qinzhou is the only area close to the ocean, so Western objects here are not uncommon.

Qin Yu's cheap father, many properties under his name have business dealings with Xiyang.

It's not surprising that he can take out two pocket watches as a lottery today.

If it was the old Wang Tong'er, maybe she would really be dazzled by these things.

As a modern person, Wang Tonger has lived in the 21st century. She is really not surprised by these things. She has even used a smartphone, so why would she covet a pocket watch?
However, this ancient version of pure gold pocket watch is estimated to be worth a lot of money if it is sold in modern times...
Zheng Xitong, the youngest son of the Zheng family who was in the same tea business as the Qin family, held a green jade flute in his hand.Won loud applause from the crowd.

Li Shuqin's third elder brother, Li Yuwei, also stepped up to the high platform, performing a majestic set of fists and kicks.

The two nephews of Zhu's Zhu Peipei, Zhu Chengyu and Zhu Chengwei brothers, one splashed ink and recited poems and paintings on the spot, and the other played a set of majestic fists and kicks.

There is only one year difference between Zhu Chengyu and Zhu Chengwei brothers, and they are just a concubine and a concubine.

However, Zhu Peipei has long favored Zhu Chengyu as his son-in-law.

If Qin Yu hadn't come here, the Qin family's property would have belonged to his daughter and her natal nephew.

Then, Wang Wenzhao, the eldest son of Huiyuan Tea House, who Xiao wanted to be his son-in-law, came to the stage to recite poems to oppose him.

He was actually handsome, with red lips and white teeth, but his thin lips were slightly turned up, and he also had a pair of snobbish eyes. When people saw him, they felt a sense of frivolity and ungratefulness.

His younger brother, Wang Wenyuan, the young owner of the Huiyuan Tea Shop, was not the same. He was wearing a crescent-colored embroidered gold-patterned wide-sleeved brocade jacket. high tower.

As soon as the bright and handsome Wang Wenyuan came on stage, he immediately attracted the admiring eyes of countless beautiful girls in his boudoir.

I saw him sitting on the brocade bench, the body of the pipe was tilted, and the lower end of the pipe was placed next to his right foot.Stretch both hands and press the hole, block the upper nozzle with your lips, and close the mouthpiece, a soft and deep tone will spread out...

Anyway, whenever they come to the spring banquet, unmarried men and women who are not engaged will come to the stage to perform their special talents.

The finale is of course the host Qin's family!

Miss Qin, Qin Jingjing, was originally in a good mood today. She held a spring banquet at home, so it should be that she, the eldest daughter, has a great reputation.

Unexpectedly, after the light that belonged to him was taken away by Qin Yu who just arrived, the guests who came to the spring banquet first said to their father: "Congratulations, Master Qin, your son is very handsome!" compliments.

When there was a banquet before, the noble lady complimented her mother: "Mrs. Qin, your house is quiet, gentle and virtuous, and the country is beautiful..."

Therefore, the eyes looking at Qin Yu became fierce.

Qin Jingjing also dressed up carefully today, wearing a peach-pink double-breasted short jacket with a skirt of the same color, with scattered strings of pearls falling from the skirt, and the strings of pearls collided gently as she walked, giving a sense of elegance and elegance. With agility.The delicate little face was lightly applied with powder and daisy, and a peach blossom and pearl coral hairpin was placed on the hairpin, which made her skin radiant and snowy, making her charming and charming.

The maid beside her had already placed the fine Baiyu Yaoqin on the stage.

Needless to say, her appearance aroused praise from everyone.

Seeing everyone's praises when her precious daughter came on stage, Mrs. Chu smiled with satisfaction and felt relieved.

The Yaoqin has a deep sound range, a clear and thick timbre, a simple style, and a low volume.

Therefore, people need to listen to God to hear clearly.

Wang Tong'er thought to herself, it would be perfect if she had a microphone for her at this moment.

After the song was played, Qin Jingjing walked down the high stage with her head held high amidst the praises of the crowd, holding Yaoqin contentedly.

Wang Tong'er couldn't help laughing secretly: I don't know how many of you here can hear her Yaoqin sound as low as a mosquito, and they praise like flattery: "Good!"

The next person on stage was Qin Jingyue, the second concubine of the Qin family. The 13-year-old Qin Jingyue was also a beauty.

She walked up to the stage with a pipa in her hand, and sat gracefully on the embroidered stool, holding her small hands upright, tying the strings with her left hand, and playing with five fingers with her right hand.

The pipa is made of high-quality nanmu. The sound box is half pear-shaped, with four strings on the top and silk threads.

Different from modern times, most of today's strings are made of steel wire, steel rope, and nylon, which are relatively strong.

　The ancient literary and artistic life was quite rich, and there were many kinds of musical instruments.
