Zhutian: My skills are not serious

Chapter 511 Shang Xiufang, Dong Shu Ni, Rong Jiao Jiao, Good Job

Chu Pingsheng slowly opened his eyes with a strange look on his face. He didn't go after Wang Shichong and his son, but this old guy targeted him. It was like a tiger that doesn't show its power. Doesn't it think it's a sick cat?
There is also a pair of bootlickers, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, who actually came to Luoyang and set their sights on Wang Shichong, wanting to drive the tiger to devour the wolf and use it to attack Yu Wenzhi.

If you say they are stupid, they know how to use Wang Shichong's "niece" to achieve their goals. If you say they are smart, they are always led by Li Shimin.

Should I go to the dinner party tomorrow or not?

Chu Pingsheng thought for a while and burst out laughing. Why not go if there is a beautiful girl around?

……

The scene of Wang Shichong and Wang Xuanying's conspiracy made Chu Pingsheng hesitate again. Finally, he decided to give up practicing the content of the Demon-Establishing Chapter temporarily and wait until he had dealt with tomorrow's "Hongmen Banquet" before doing so.

The next morning, he indeed received the invitation sent by Wang Xuanying, so he asked Tuan to make some preparations. In the evening, he left the shop, wearing a small lotus crown on his head, a brocade robe, and a folding fan with the pattern of Huangshan Feilai Peak in his hand. He walked into the residence of the Minister of Personnel in a leisurely and elegant manner.

There were already well-dressed servants waiting at the door. When they saw him and Tuan come in, they bowed politely and led the way, leading the two to the quiet pavilion in the back garden.

Because it is surrounded by water on three sides and has windows on the east, west, south and north sides, it has excellent ventilation and is considered the coolest place in the Shangshu Mansion.

Wang Xuanying had been waiting outside when he received the news. When he saw him come in, he smiled and said, "Brother Chai, how long has it been since we last met? It's been more than a year, right?"

"Yes, more than a year."

"Brother Chai is a man of noble bearing and elegant demeanor. Just as the outside world says, he is truly a rare talent and the best among our generation."

"Brother Wang, please stop complimenting me. Where is my uncle?"

"Father is inside." Wang Xuanying waved and said, "Brother Chai, please come in."

"Brother Wang, please."

Chu Pingsheng said something polite and then walked with Wang Xuanying into the quiet pavilion with carved beams and painted buildings, which exuded an air of luxury.

Wang Shichong, wearing a tall hat and a jade belt, was sitting on a small couch one foot high. He was talking to Shuanglong beside him. When he saw the two of them come in, he hurriedly stood up and greeted them. He took Chu Pingsheng's hand and said, "Oh, nephew, you have lost weight."

Seeing Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's surprised faces, Chu Pingsheng also pretended to be surprised. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. He said unnaturally: "Uncle Lao, I am worried about you. It's been a hot summer recently, and my appetite is not very good."

"Then you must eat more tonight. I remember Mr. Chai said that you liked to eat shrimp when you were a child. Today I sent people to search all the food stores in Luoyang and collected some. I will ask the kitchen to steam them later."

Chu Pingsheng looked at Shuanglong and said, "Thank you for your kindness, uncle."

"Oh, you see, I forgot to introduce them to you. I'm sure you already know these two, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling."

Without waiting for either party to speak, Wang Shichong patted Chu Pingsheng on the shoulder again, pointed at the two people sitting on the other side and said, "You probably haven't seen these two people before."

Chu Pingsheng looked at the two people over there carefully. One of them was an old man about fifty years old, with small eyes, a big forehead, a slightly red nose, gray stubble above and below his lips, and a somewhat arrogant look... at least that's how he looked when he looked at him.

Next to the old man sat a woman, with a slender figure, charming and lovely. When she smiled, her eyes were full of charm and extraordinary grace. She wore a light green long skirt that reached her chest, with a white top, and her fair skin was faintly visible. The pair of soft little belts tied a bow on her chest, from the person to the clothes, the combination was very delicate.

"never seen it."

"This is the president of Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, Mr. Rong Fengxiang. Sitting next to him is his daughter, Miss Rong Jiaojiao."

"Nice to meet you, nice to meet you." Chu Pingsheng said nice to meet you, but his expression was quite disapproving.

Wang Shichong was slightly pleased to see that the two men did not get along, for he had heard from others that not long after the opening of "The World's No. 1 Pawnshop", Rong Fengxiang poured cold water on it and made sarcastic remarks.

This is normal. One of the main businesses of the Chai family is to run a bank, and lending is part of the bank's business. Rong Fengxiang holds the title of the president of the Chamber of Commerce, but he actually runs a casino and lends money at high interest rates. No matter how stupid Yang Guang is, he knows that loan sharking is not a good thing. Therefore, money lending is protected by the law, while loan sharking is something that cannot be put on the table. As the old saying goes, colleagues are enemies. It would be strange for Rong Fengxiang to see Chai Shaoneng behave well.

Of course, if it was Chai Shen, the Duke of Julu... we still have to give him some face.

Compared to her father Rong Fengxiang, his daughter was much more polite. She did a standard bow and said, "Hello, Mr. Chai."

"Miss Rong." Chu Pingsheng nodded, thinking that the two beauties of Luoyang were indeed worthy of their reputation, they were really beautiful and generous.

But think about it, a disciple of the Yin Gui Sect, the daughter of the Great Ming Sect, how could such a woman not be good at disguising her emotions? Besides, it was still doubtful whether Rong Jiaojiao was Rong Fengxiang's biological daughter.

"Nephew, please take your seat."

After the introduction, Wang Shichong took Chu Pingsheng's hand and sat down behind the dining table next to his seat. He clapped his hands outside and shouted "Serve the meal". The maid from the Shangshu Mansion came into the hall with a gust of fragrant wind and placed the meat, vegetables and fruits in the food boxes on the dining table in front of them.

Not only were there stewed venison and mutton that ordinary people couldn't eat, the cold locust leaf soup that could cool down the heat, the fresh steamed shrimp that Wang Shichong just mentioned, but even the signature dish of the imperial kitchen, the golden minced fish and jade bream, were served.

If it weren't for Master Chai sitting opposite, that face was really disgusting, Shuanglong would have been unable to hold back and would have eaten and drunk with great relish. The maid with a touch of plump whiteness filled Chu Pingsheng's wine glass and stood up holding the mutton-fat jade wine pot. Chu Pingsheng took the opportunity to touch her little hand. She was not shy, and looked Master Chai in the eyes openly, walked to the back and knelt, with her hands flat on her knees, and served carefully.

Wang Shichong noticed this scene and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Please Miss Shang."

The servants waiting outside the hall walked away in small steps. Not long after, footsteps were heard. A young woman wearing a yellow silk dress and a light green shawl, who was graceful even without makeup and beautiful even without a hairpin or jewelry, walked in from outside.

Arriving in the hall, Chu Pingsheng cheered in his heart. She was beautiful, not as charming as she was, but more graceful and elegant, and three times more beautiful than Wan Wan, especially those bewitching and captivating eyes. A glance at her could make one's bones melt.

Wang Shichong looked around and was very satisfied with the performance of Shuanglong and the young master of the Chai family.

Wang Xuanying leaned to the side and whispered, "This is the most famous prostitute in Luoyang City, Miss Shang Xiufang. She sells her art but not her body. Father spent a lot of effort and money to invite her to the mansion to entertain tonight's banquet."

Wang Shichong laughed and said, "I wonder if Miss Shang could dance a little to entertain my guests."

Shang Xiufang smiled lightly, opened her red lips, and said in a clear and ethereal healing voice: "I wonder if the Shangshu has any requirements for the music?"

"No, no, just do as you please."

"it is good."

Shang Xiufang blinked her eyes, looked at Chu Pingsheng and Wang Xuanying sitting on the left, then looked at Shuanglong and Rong Fengxiang, father and daughter, sitting on the right, and nodded to the musician who entered the venue holding a guzheng.

Ding dong.

Ding ding dong...

The music suddenly started, from light to crisp, slow to long, and a moving melody was played.

Shang Xiufang suddenly spread her arms, and her sleeves gently slipped off, revealing a pair of white arms that were as tender as spring buds and as smooth as mutton fat. Her slender waist twisted slightly, like flowing snow in the wind, and her dance steps were graceful, like light clouds covering the moon. She sang and danced to the rhythm, so beautiful that it was breathtaking and captivating.

Kou Zhong's eyes widened as he stared, but Chu Pingsheng remained relatively calm, occasionally taking a sip from his wine glass and humming along with the melody.

"Pearl tears wet the silk, the young man has been so ungrateful. At the beginning, the sisters clearly told us not to give our true feelings to him. Think carefully, is it better to be indifferent to knowledge and understanding?"

The originally ethereal voice carries a little bit of sadness and a little bit of reserve, and the singing is low and gentle, as if she is pouring out her heart to her sisters. The emotions are very full, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

Xu Ziling's eyes also widened.

Wang Shichong and his son, Rong Fengxiang and his daughter were also captivated by her graceful dancing and gentle singing. They either swayed their heads to the beat or were fascinated and had their imaginations run wild.

"The bridal chamber is deep, empty and quiet, with an empty body and mind that feel lonely. When you come, you must pray, not to be attached to the wild flowers of youth."

"Light and even makeup, little interaction, just because Wuling is so distant. The snow on my chest, if you bite it, I am afraid of spending a lot of money to buy my smile."

She sang two more lines, and then the zither music stopped abruptly.

Shang Xiufang showed surprise on her face, she stopped and looked back. The flying silk ribbon brushed the corner of her lips and swept across her forehead, giving her a lazy beauty like a bird startled from its nap and looking back lazily.

Wang Shichong and others were also awakened and looked carefully, only to see that the young master of the Chai family had come to the musician at some point and pressed the strings of the vermilion guzheng.

"This song is too pretentious. I don't like it."

Shang Xiufang's performance...so far no one has said so bluntly that they don't like it.

Rong Fengxiang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and narrowed his eyes: "You don't like it, but I do."

Wang Shichong said patiently, "It's hard to please everyone when it comes to music. My nephew, please don't make trouble. After this piece of music is finished, let Miss Shang play a more unrestrained piece, okay?"

Chu Pingsheng said: "But I like her dancing."

Don’t like the soundtrack, but like dancing?

Even Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, two guys who knew nothing about music and only cared about what sounded good, thought he was deliberately looking for trouble.

Kou Zhong suppressed his anger and said, "Chai Shao, don't you think it's rude to do this?"
