Chapter 31 Chapter Six

Let's say that Qiao Tai followed Yao Tai in a big sedan chair and went to Yao's house for a short stay.Yao Taikai changed into a loose blue cloth robe and a black hat, and continued to go to Manser's house in a sedan chair for the banquet. In the sedan chair, Yao Taikai lost a lot of experience to Qiao Tai as if he was a treasure to the villager.It was the first time Qiao Tai heard the lesson of "Eat in Guangzhou, die in Liuzhou", which was very rare.I also believe that Yao Taikai is a first-class gourmet, a gluttonous family. The big sedan chair was carried to a garden house near Huaisheng Temple and stopped.Yao Tai said: "It's here." Then he said: "Brother Qiao Tai, you must look at me at the banquet, don't make mistakes."

A Si Yan with a white cloth on his head led Yao and Qiao through a well-repaired fountain garden and walked towards the master's living room. Qiao Tai saw the dome of a light tower looming outside the garden, and it was extremely solemn under the new moon.I know that Mr. Manser's mansion is not too far from the Five Immortals Hotel where he lives. Manser greeted him at the living room door.The clothes are bright and bright, and the air is imposing.Yao Tai touched his chest and said, "Mr. Manser, I take the liberty of bringing a friend here tonight. He is from Chang'an, our capital city."

Manser glanced at Chotai, but he didn't say no.He bowed and said, "God bless you." He then led the two of them to the table. The banquet is surrounded by a low round table, and the host and guests are all sitting on the carpet.The wonderful aroma of roasted lamb and smoked chicken made Qiaotai salivate.He took a sip of the wine toasted by the servant, only to find that it was fragrant and intoxicating, and it had a greasy sweetness like cheese. Manser and Yao Tai talked about business for half a day, and occasionally talked about big food, and they were very speculative. Yao Taikai introduced Qiao Tai to Manser. Manser was very excited and toasted Qiao Tai with his own hands. Gradually, he became drunk and felt slack in speaking.

Qiao Tai said: "I'm staying at the Five Immortals Hotel, right behind the Huaisheng Temple, I think it's very close to your residence." "Oh, Huaisheng Temple. The holy light of the Bunke Tower in the temple is immortal, and Allah is always there. The sage Wange Su first came to China and preached in this area. After the death of the immortal, he was buried in Osmanthus Gang. We Dashi expats also live in these two places. " "Mr. Manser knows a man named Ni Tianji, and his fleet often sails to your country." Qiao Tai started talking again. "Ni Tianji? I know, I know." Manser's eyes flashed a strange light. "The father surnamed Ni is from Guangzhou, but his mother is Persian. The Persians are not friendly to us. The warriors led by our British caliph have already defeated Persia."

Seeing that the topic was far away, Yao Tai was afraid that Qiao Tai's words would be wrong.Nai said: "Mr. Manser, it's such a good night, and the wine is intoxicating. Why don't you watch a big food and dance, it's just to add to the fun." Manser laughed loudly, grunted a few words in the big food language, and clapped his palms a few times. A coquettish woman gently jumped out from behind the bead curtain, wriggling along with the fast-paced music. ——That was a big food dancer, with painted eyebrows and eyes, and her belly exposed.The two red lips were like fire, and the pair of seductive and deep eyes were like the waves of the sea, which immediately swallowed everything in the banquet.

Yao Taikai and Qiao Tai were so intoxicated that they couldn't help themselves. Manser grinned and carefully twirled his red beard that turned up at both corners, very proud. "Her name is Zhumu Nu. There is no one who is not tempted by her beauty, and there is no one who does not fall in love with her dancing." The sound of the qin and drums stopped suddenly, and Zhu Munu jumped out of the dance carpet to bow to Manser, Yao Taikai, and Qiao Tai, and looked forward to the banquet with a pair of seductive eyes affectionately. Manser ordered to pour wine with the guests.Zhu Munu came to Qiaotai's knee with a smile and offered a cup first.When Qiao Tai was dazzled and distracted, he took a glass and drank it down.Suddenly he smelled the fragrance of sweat from Zhu Munu's body again, his blood flowed wildly, and the six spirits shook.

Manser ordered Zhu Munu to sing another fan tune.Zhu Munu was upset, stood up and began to sing again, sobbing.Although I don't understand the lyrics, I suddenly feel that the rhyme is depressed and the tone is sad, like Du Yu who is crying.After singing, he hurried towards Qiao Tai. Qiao Tai stared blankly at Zhu Mu Nu, feeling lost. Manser threw a gold coin to Zhumu Nu.Zhu Mu Nu took it and threw it to a musician who was waiting on him.Actually asked Qiao Tai in Huaxia Mandarin: "Dare to ask the name of the distinguished guest, I have never met before." Just as Qiao Tai breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly heard that the Zhumu slave was not speaking in a foreign language, and was at a loss for what to do.

"The military officer refuses to say his name, for fear that his soul will be captured?" Zhu Munu was seasoned in love. "My name is Qiao Tai. Qiao of the Immortal Prince Joe. Tai, this Mr. Yao is open about Tai, it is the same word Tai." "Heh, Qiao Tai." Zhu Mu Nu laughed. "It's better than Yao Tai's name. Mr. Yao, why do you have such a gloomy face?" Yao Tai smiled obsequiously: "Bless God, I'm relieved. As usual, my stomach is open." Zhu Munu didn't understand Yao Taikai's meaning, so he asked Qiao Tai with a smile: "What is the official title of the capital, sir?"

"Captain Zuo Guoyi of the Sixteenth Guards' Mansion, serving the Eastern Palace." "Oh, it turns out to be Captain Du. ——Looking at your beard has a streak or two of whiteness, I'm afraid you are a grandfather." Zhu Munu joked again. "I'm only forty years old, and I'm still unmarried." Qiaotai put down a big stone in his heart, and secretly admired his courage. "Dare to feel that the corners of your eyes are open at the Zenith Gate, so you don't look at ordinary people." Zhu Munu took a sip of his wine. Looking at Zhu Munu's beautiful face, Qiao Tai added a layer of blush, and couldn't help shaking his heart.

Just as he was about to calender his words, Manser suddenly heard a "dang beep" and threw an agate cup in his hand on the ground, his face ashen. Zhu Munu ignored Manser's anger, and took a step closer to Qiaotai charmingly, poured a full glass, and said with a smile: "Captain Qiao, drink again, be careful not to drop the glass." Qiao Tai was even more panicked, holding his breath and not daring to vent his breath. Yao Tai was knowledgeable, hurriedly got up and bid farewell.Manser ignored him and scolded Zhu Munu in Fan language.Zhu Munu also murmured and snatched Bai, which was regarded as a reciprocation.In the end, he suddenly said loudly in Huaxia Mandarin: "I'm not hired by you. What does it matter to you to make out with whomever you love?" After saying that, she turned around and left.The two musicians also ran away in a panic.

Qiao Tai was embarrassed and felt ashamed.Zhu Munu suddenly turned his head and whispered in his ear: "My family lives in the fourth row of flower boats in the northwest of Baietan. Fortunately, we can meet again." After speaking, a gust of wind left. Yao Taikai signaled Qiao Tai to leave.Manser didn't hold back, but waved his hand and ordered the seats to be withdrawn, and turned around to go to the inner hall. Qiaotai came out of the garden resentfully, conscious of being moody.Yao Taikai consoled him and said: "Qiu Duyu should be troubled, this is a common thing here, it's not surprising. We are used to it. Most of those fans are moody and eccentric, and they don't understand my Chinese etiquette and customs. You don't need to be serious." Qiao Tai said: "Today's incident has ruined your drinking. I can't blame Manser for being angry, but Zhumu slave is too rampant. I also made mistakes." Yao Tai laughed heartily: "Brother Qiaotai still has such guts. Don't talk about it anymore. Zhu Munu wants to strike up a conversation with you, so don't treat her coldly. It's just that Manse is narrow-minded, ungrateful and arrogant. Look at the guests. Don’t worry about it.——I’ll invite you to calm down some other day. I have a separate building called ‘Kaiyanju’, which is behind the Faxing Temple in the city. It’s elegant and secluded. The character in it is Yousheng Zhumu Slave, I will keep you happy. Uh, I'm going back now." Yao Tai comforted him with kind words, called a small sedan chair, and went on his own.Qiao Tai was at a loss, and stood blankly in the night wind for a long time.
