Do you know: I have a different surname: Wang, uncle Minglan.

Chapter 284 The banquet begins, extremely luxurious
In the seventh year of Jiayou, early June.

Wei Yuan only started the banquet formally when most of the merchants he wanted to invite had arrived.

Not counting celebrity geishas like Xie Yuying, there were probably hundreds of other prostitutes with good looks and figures.

It can be said that some famous prostitutes in Suzhou were invited to the flower boat.

Of course, this was the work of the King of Wu and had nothing to do with Wei Yuan.

But nominally, it was Wei Yuan who planned it all, so now, after knowing this, the people from all over Jiangnan said that Wei Yuan was extremely extravagant and might lose his ambition due to pleasure.

"What a hero our loyal and brave marquis is! However, his achievements are so great that they frighten the lord!"

"Yes, since the Duke of Wei was dismissed from his post by the government, he has come to our Jiangnan to have fun. This seems to be a bit disheartened!"

"What the government did, alas, cannot be said, nor dare to be said."

"The Duke of Wei has been busy serving the country for many years, so it's okay for him to have some fun."

"I am afraid that from now on, there will be no more heroes in the world who can suppress Liao and Xia countries with just a Guandao."

"."

This is almost what most people think.

They generally believed that Wei Yuan's chartering of a flower boat for entertainment meant that he was disappointed with the court.

The more they spread such rumors, the more beneficial it would be to Wei Yuan.

At this moment, on a flower boat on Taihu Lake in Suzhou.

The last merchant to come was Hai Qing, the head of the second branch of the Hai family in Haizhou.

Wait a little later, around the hour of Xu.

The entire flower boat suddenly became brightly lit.

Whether on the deck or in the cabin, merchants and prostitutes can be seen everywhere talking about love.

There were even some drunken businessmen who stripped a prostitute's clothes in front of everyone.

Not only did the prostitute not resist, she was even very accommodating. After she was naked, she twisted her seductive body and breasts in front of those wealthy men.

The entire flower boat was, for a moment, filled with the word desire.

However, in the main cabin of the flower boat, which was also the attic where Xie Yuying performed, such a thing never happened.

Although the prostitutes tried their best to seduce the business tycoons who were rarely seen in daily life, they remained unmoved and just sat quietly, waiting for Wei Yuan's arrival.

In this attic, in addition to more than a dozen merchants, there were three people: Lin Zhaoyuan, Guo Hao, and Chen Daniu.

Chen Daniu was having a lot of fun, hugging women left and right. From time to time, he would call a few women to his side, blindfold himself, and use his hands to measure which woman was bigger or guess which woman was sitting next to him.

If he guessed wrong, he would have to drink a glass of wine.

While Chen Daniu was having a great time, Guo Hao felt like he was sitting on pins and needles. The only person sitting next to him was Zhao Jianjia, who had half her face covered. Apart from her, there were no other geishas to serve him.

Guo Hao lowered his voice and asked Zhao Jianjia, "You were often in the capital before. Have you ever seen my elder brother?"

Now, Zhao Jianjia has tied her hair up, and it is obvious that she and Guo Hao are husband and wife. The two of them behave intimately, with their bodies close to each other, just like a newlywed couple.

"Of course I have seen him, but we have never interacted much."

What Zhao Jianjia said was half true and half false.

Guo Hao said relievedly: "My elder brother is a military commander. You girls naturally have few opportunities to see him."

Zhao Jianjia nodded slightly, poured him a glass of wine and handed it to him personally.

Seeing this, he smiled, took the glass and drank it all.

Zhao Jianjia snuggled into his arms, looked into Guo Hao's eyes lovingly, and boldly put his hand on her chest, saying with a smile:

"How do those voluptuous bitches compare to me?"

Guo Hao quickly said in a serious tone: "I can't compare with you. You are a daughter of heaven and a daughter of the royal family. It is my honor and the honor of my Guo family to meet you in this life."

Zhao Jianjia was stunned when she heard the voice.

It turned out that in this world, there were still people who regarded her as a royal family member.

She looked a little sad.

Seeing this, Guo Hao said: "When I get through this, I will marry you and welcome you into my Guo family with great fanfare."

Zhao Jianjia only felt a little surprised for a moment, but soon her brows drooped, she forced a smile, and replied "OK".

There were also two prostitutes serving Lin Zhaoyuan.

At first, he couldn't accept it.

Later, it was Wei Yuan who told him, "You are now a military commander after all. In the future, you will have the hope of being promoted to a high position or even becoming a minister of the Central Government. You must learn to adapt to the games played by the big men."

Therefore, Lin Zhaoyuan took the initiative to ask two good-looking prostitutes to serve him.

At this time, after waves of geishas came on stage to perform, some business tycoons could no longer sit still and started toasting Lin Zhaoyuan and others.
"I wonder when Lord Wei will arrive?"

"Yes, it's getting late, we should discuss this matter as soon as possible."

"."

They thought that they would get the results today and leave the flower boat tomorrow.

After all, if they continued to stay, it would inevitably cause some rumors. If they were targeted by the court, as a marquis, he would not be afraid.

But what about them? Commoners and merchants, the court would be eager to find some excuse to confiscate their homes.

Perhaps because they were tired of asking too many questions, Lin Zhaoyuan had no choice but to stand up and look at everyone, then slowly said, "Please be patient."

Before he could finish his words, Wei Yuan, accompanied by several personal guards, slowly came here.

In an instant, everyone stood up, including the prostitutes who were serving them, and bowed to Wei Yuan.

"Greetings, Lord Wei." "Greetings."

Wei Yuan looked around at everyone one by one, his gaze lingered on Zhao Jianjia for a moment, then he nodded and smiled at everyone:

"I am late."

One of the merchants from Fuzhou bowed and said, "Lord Wei, you are too kind."

Wei Yuan said: "Please sit down. If you have anything to say, let's talk after we finish drinking."

When the merchants saw him appear, their uneasy minds finally calmed down.

As long as he came, they would not panic, and they would not care even if they drank all night long.

What I’m afraid of is that they come but Wei Yuan doesn’t.

Once the backbone arrives, they will naturally stop panicking.

Wei Yuan sat on the main seat and instructed a geisha, "Please ask Miss Xie Yuying to come over."

After a while, Xie Yuying, who had been prepared, walked slowly over holding a pipa.

Behind her, there were more than thirty geishas.

This time, Xie Yuying did not wear a mask and attended the event in full makeup.

Many people are attracted by her stunning beauty.

There is not a single flaw on her fair face, her fingers are slender, her figure is graceful, and her temperament is extraordinary.

If some lustful people come here, I am afraid that just by looking at her fingers, they will sigh and say, if they hold their own
That was such a treat.

At this moment, Xie Yuying's fingers were grasping the pipa.

Before the show started, Wei Yuan raised his glass and said to everyone, "Yesterday, Miss Xie came to me and said she wanted to perform a song to break the formation. I originally wanted to listen to Ten Sides of Ambush, but then I thought this song is more suitable for the occasion."

"Gentlemen, drink the wine in my cup with me, and listen to the battle-breaking song played by Miss Xie."

After saying that, he drank the wine in the glass.

The crowd followed closely behind.

Immediately afterwards, Wei Yuan nodded towards Xie Yuying.

The latter gestured and immediately played the pipa.

The geishas who came with her also performed one after another.

The solemn and blood-boiling music spread immediately.

Wei Yuan slowly closed his eyes and lay lazily on the chair, as if enjoying the charm brought by the song.

The other merchants and others had no intention of listening to the music, but kept repeating what Wei Yuan had just said, and could not help but whispered:

"What does this mean, Lord Wei? What does it mean to be in tune with the situation?"

"Yeah, Breaking the Formation Song is for the occasion? Whose formation is this going to break?"

"Could it be that Guo Hao's?"

"When Commander Guo first arrived, Commander Wei had already broken his formation."

"."

The Qin King's Breaking Formation Music needs someone to dance and someone to play.

But because of the limited space on the flower boat, if you want to fully release the charm of this song, you have to at least be on the deck.

However, the wind was strong and the waves were rough at night. For safety reasons, Wei Yuan decided to let Xie Yuying cancel the dance and only play music.

But this song alone gives people a soul-stirring feeling, as if they are in the midst of thousands of troops, unable to resist fighting with the enemy.

When the music reaches its climax, it seems to awaken the warlike blood buried deep in the hearts of the Han men.

Even some merchants were thinking of taking up their swords to recapture Yanyun and attack Xixia.

"it is good!"

Chen Daniu applauded.

Some businessmen also cheered.

When the song ended, Xie Yuying slowly stood up and bowed deeply to everyone.

Wei Yuan called over the King of Wu's trusted confidant, Old Man Zhao, and said with a smile, "Reward."

Mr. Zhao bowed and said, "Yes."

Anyway, the money used to reward the geishas came from the King of Wu, not from his hands.

Xie Yuying bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your reward, my Lord. Is there any other song you want to hear? I will play another one for you."

Wei Yuan waved his hand, "Take a break first, you will have something to sing later."

Xie Yuying nodded, walked down the stage slowly, and came to Wei Yuan's side, saying, "My Lord, may I sit here?"

The remaining twenty or thirty geishas stayed on the stage to perform.

Although Wei Yuan did not respond to Xie Yuying, he did not reject her kindness.

So I just knelt beside him and poured him some wine.

Xie Yuying did not have the heavy rouge smell of ordinary prostitutes, but instead had a fresh and unworldly scent.

She sat next to Wei Yuan, and directly outshined the royal family woman Zhao Jianjia who was sitting next to Guo Hao.

"My Lord, is there anything wrong with the piece I just played? I heard from General Lin that my Lord often listens to this piece of music, so I think he is quite familiar with it."

Xie Yuying stuck close to Wei Yuan and asked seriously.
