Thirty-six, all the wise men gathered

When Abu saw Zhou Xuan, he moved forward and smiled and said, "Mr. Marquis, I have found three good things according to Miss Lin's preferences. Marquis, please see--"

Abu spread his hands on the desk, and a servant opened three brocade boxes of different sizes one by one, Abu introduced them one by one.

Zhou Xuan was overjoyed and said, "Brother Abu, thank you. It costs a lot of money. Just deduct it from the Xuanjing I deserve."

Abu thoughtfully: "Xuan Jing has only sold more than 40 pieces, and the profit is only a few thousand taels. It is still far from buying these three rare items." He also said: "It's not expensive or expensive, it's more rare and not easy to find. I also entrusted the Marquis to the Marquis. I bought these three pieces after a walk around the east and west markets. I am really glad to buy them."

Zhou Xuan said generously: "Even if you gave it to you, Brother Abu, you will also come to the music and tea party later-" He lowered his voice and said: "The East Palace will come, don't speak to the public, do you understand?"

Abu was surprised and happy, and said, "I understand." He felt like he was dreaming. He, a low-ranking Dashi merchant, was going to have a dinner with the crown prince. The cause of all this was that his wife had a difficult delivery that night. It was good that he would not have found Dr. Qin in the middle of the night. If he didn't have a difficult delivery, he would not have found Dr. Qin in the middle of the night. If he didn't have a difficult delivery, he would not have met Zhou Xuan. Who would have thought that a son-in-law of a doctor in the Medical Department could have reached this point today? And Abu was able to make friends with him when Marquis Zhou was not yet successful.

Zhou Xuan asked again: "Brother Abu came to Beijing this time, how many concubines did he bring?"

Abu replied, "Two houses, seventh and eleventh."

Abu has many wives and concubines, all with numbers. Zhou Xuan asked: "Are they all big food women?"

Abu said: "Qi'er is a Persian woman, and Eleven'er is a Dongtianzhu woman."

Persia is Iran, and East India is Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Zhou Xuan said in a panic: "Wow, Brother Abu, your wife and concubine are a multinational coalition. It is better to be a king in the south than a blessing in the south."

Abu said: "My family is spread all over the Western Regions. If the marquis is interested, I can give a few beautiful virgins from the Western Regions to the marquis, but it will be next year or the year after."

Zhou Xuan quickly waved his hand and said, "It's no need to worry about this. I asked my brother if these two concubines could sing and dance. If it's convenient, how about joining the music and tea party at night? No matter how high or low a person, they all have to perform the same talent. A piece of singing and dancing or a joke, so they can be relaxed and lively."

Abu said happily: "Persian and Indian women are good at singing and dancing, so I will definitely bring them to you."

As night falls, the smoke and water on the banks of the Mochou Lake are heavy. The residence of the Fenghua Jiedushi, built by the water, is brightly lit. Because the Lantern Festival has passed, the colorful lanterns in the city are already sparse, but it seems that they are all gathered on the banks of the Mochou Lake. The lanterns of various colors are filled with fire trees and silver flowers, dazzling. In the main hall of the residence, hundreds of big red lanterns are hung high, and maids come and go, happily.

Zhou Xuan went to the "Yangchun Baixue Hall" to welcome fairy Jingyi and Lin Hanyun to the main hall. Along the way, he saw the lights as bright as day, dazzling in the colorful lights, orchid paste bright candles, green jade coiled dragon lamps, Manjushri rides on lions, Samantabhadra rides on elephants, and countless lanterns of various Buddhist and Taoist legends.

Lin Hanyun said happily, "This is more lively than the Lantern Festival. Brother Zhou Xuan is really capable. He has found so many lanterns, which are colorful and beautiful."

Fairy Jingyi was wearing a goose yellow Taoist robe, still covering her veil, tall and graceful, and said lightly: "Brother Xuan has trouble, but in fact, the female Taoist likes purity."

Zhou Xuan said: "I also like purity."

Lin Hanyun smiled "Ge": "Brother Zhou Xuan likes purity, and there will be no lively people in the world!"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I like to be lively when it is lively, and be purity when it is purity."

Lin Hanyun pouted and said, "It's so mysterious. I don't understand. My sister should be able to understand."

Fairy Jingyi smiled and said, "Brother Xuan said this very Zen meaning, and the female Taoist also doesn't understand it."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "I don't want to be a monk. I like freedom. I don't want to be wronged or suffer. I have to fight for what I like."

Fairy Jingyi stopped talking, always feeling that this brother Xuan was hinting to her.

When I arrived at the main hall of the residence, there were strings of big red lanterns that made everyone look like peach blossoms. Unfortunately, Fairy Jingyi covered her face with a silk lion. Otherwise, her "Red Luan Sha" face would reflect the red lantern, and I wonder how beautiful it was?

Judge Fan, Lin Heishan, Chen Ji, and the Sun brothers arrived early and were looking at a row of riddles hanging in front of the hall. When they saw Zhou Xuan, the Sun brothers shouted: "Brother Zhou, Brother Zhou, I heard that these riddles were all produced by you?"

Zhou Xuan laughed and said, "Yes, there are twenty riddles, and the guessers will be rewarded. I will appreciate one New Year orange, haha."

Zhou Xuan was a literary activist when he was in college and participated in organizing various parties. Guessing riddles is the most common event in the evening, so he remembered many riddles, and selected fifteen suitable riddles in the afternoon, so that people could copy them in exquisite small calligraphy and paste them on fifteen fish lanterns.

Sun Zhan said: "How could Master Zhou be so stingy? Those who guessed must have a heavy reward. I'll guess first."

Zhou Xuan said: "Don't rush to guess first, there are distinguished guests here, and guess together."

Chen Ji and the Sun brothers learned in advance that the prince of the Eastern Palace was coming, and they all looked solemn when they heard this, dressed upright and looked solemn.

Three fools, four fools are here.

Yang Xiaopin, Niannu and Xiaoqian arrived. Niannu was wearing a pink veil. She lived in seclusion these two days, and the Sun brothers who lived in the same hospital did not know that she was Niannu.

Lin Hanyun was shocked when she saw Yang Xiaopin and asked Zhou Xuan: "Who is she?"

Zhou Xuanqi said: "Yang Xiaopin, have you seen her a long time ago? I took her back from King Jing that time from the boat."

Sheep frowns and combs with a bun, decorated with flower hairpins, thin silk and large sleeves, and slim skirts with picturesque eyebrows and eyes, and beautiful colors.

"Ah, it's the one you won back from Hongzhou!" Lin Hanyun widened her eyes. The little puff of Yang Xiaopin made her a little jealous. She took a look when she got off the boat that day, and Zhou Xuan scolded her. This little puffy squatted on the shore and cried, with a disheveled face. Unexpectedly, she was such a stunning beauty!

Hu Shang Abu came with two plump foreign concubines, one with blonde hair and the other with black hair and blue eyes, laughing before speaking, and being versatile, they were all mature and smooth, and they helped Abu get business training.

At the hour of the Youth, the government officials reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived.

Zhou Xuan and judge Fan, Lin Heishan quickly went out to welcome him, and saw a team of East Palace guards on both sides of the gate, and two carriages were parked in front of the door. Prince Li Jian got off from a carriage in front and walked to the carriage behind. He worked very hard to help a woman. The woman was wearing a white veil and a snow-white long skirt. Her hem was wide and fluffy like a big round cover, and her waist was very thin-

Zhou Xuan saw it in front of the door and was stunned. Who is this? Why are you here wearing a Western-style wedding dress? Oh, also known as the Australian women's crown Taoist robe.

Judge Fan and Chief Gu had already walked up and knelt down to welcome the Eastern Palace.

Li Jian waved his hand and said, "No gift." He strode to Zhou Xuan and whispered: "Cousin Xuan, I brought my sister Huzhu. She must come with her, there is nothing we can do."

Zhou Xuan frowned slightly. The moody Princess Qingle came to the music tea party. After that, it was boring to be full of dissatisfaction. He smiled and greeted him: "Your Highness, the princess, is in honor of being humiliated."

Princess Qingle was like a bride who couldn't find the groom, a little at a loss. She had a quarrel with Zhou Xuan the day before yesterday. At this time, she didn't know what to say, so she called out: "Brother of the Emperor." She followed Li Jian closely.

When I entered the door, I saw the lights in the garden, as bright as stars. Li Jian asked: "What is a good day today? Cousin Xuan has such a big light? Could it be the birthday of my cousin?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "No, my birthday is the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and it has already passed. Today is Miss Lin's birthday. Because she is a monk and practicing Taoism, she will not be extravagant, so I will organize this music tea party to celebrate her."

Li Jian said in surprise: "Why didn't cousin Xuan say it earlier? I can prepare a gift!"

Zhou Xuan said: "No, Sister Daoyun doesn't let me publicize it, otherwise you will blame me. You pretend not to know the best, so you can save gifts, haha."

Li Jian laughed loudly, and Princess Qingle also touched the veil with the back of her hand, obviously also laughing.

When he arrived at the hall of the residence, Li Jian took the lead and said, "Everyone, my cousin Xuan today invites you not to be polite, don't be restrained because I am the prince of the Eastern Palace, and don't be too polite, so you can bow." He took the lead to bowing to the people in the hall.

Chen Ji and the Sun brothers were stunned, and they wanted to kneel down, but it was wrong not to kneel down.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is humble and approachable. Don't be restrained. Just treat it as a friend. Come and take a look at the riddles I made first. Those who guess will have a good start."

Everyone went to watch the riddles, but only Sanqi remained safe. This guy was almost uninterested except Go, fighting insects and swords. The four mysterious people were better, so he also went to watch the riddles.

There is a riddle that says "A thousand miles of Jiangling returns in one day". With a common saying, Chen Ji said loudly: "I can do this, I am going to go out early and come back late. Brother Zhou, am I right?"

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "This is the simplest. You, a talented man in Hongzhou, guessing that this is not a useless person. You cancel the lottery and will not be rewarded."

Everyone laughed.

Another mystery is "Falling flowers are everywhere, and I'm not scared." Guess an ancient man.

Fairy Jingyi whispered to her sister quietly, and Lin Hanyun walked over with a smile and said, "Brother Zhou Xuan, I guess one, 'The fallen flowers are all over the ground' is Xie An, a native of the Eastern Jin Dynasty."

Zhou Xuan deliberately said in surprise: "This mystery is very difficult. I didn't expect that Hanyun's sister could guess it. Wizards, wizards and girls' wizards. Xie An also has a daughter with the same name as Daoyun sister, and is known as the talent of Yongxu."

Li Jian smiled and said, "Cousin Xuan, I can also guess one - 'Fifteen Days', isn't it the word 'fat'? Haha, this mystery is interesting."

Zhou Xuan praised: "Your Highness is wise."

Judge Fan and Chief Gu quickly agreed and praised.

There is a mystery called "half of the Spring and Autumn Period", which is a word.

Princess Qingle wandered under the fish lamp for a long time, and walked to Li Jian with her round and puffy skirt, saying something, Li Jian smiled and said, "I don't know if it's right, go to the person who asked the riddle."

Princess Qingle hummed lightly, walked up to Zhou Xuan in a wedding dress and asked, "Is the word "Qin" the word "half of the spring and autumn?"

Although the princess refused to admit that Zhou Xuan was her cousin, her attitude was quite sloppy tonight. Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Your Highness the Princess answered correctly."

Twenty riddles are not difficult. After a while, they were all guessed. The prize was a side of Xuan Jing, sponsored by Hu Shang Abu.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "The riddle is over and the music party officially begins."

Sixteen mahogany tables in the hall are arranged in the Eight Trigrams diagrams, and everyone sits in the rows. Prince Li Jian and Princess Qingle sit in the Gan position, Fairy Jingyi and Lin Hanyun sit in the Kun position, Zhou Xuan and Lin Heishan sit in the Zhen position next to Kun position, Judge Fan, Gu Changshi sits in the Xun position, Yang Xiaopin, Niannu, Xiaoqi sits in the Gen position, Abu and his two concubines sit in the Dui position, Sun brothers sit in the Li position, Sanqi and Siqi sit in the Kanhui, and there are three meter-long open space in the middle, with a red large food carpet, and various musical instruments, gold, stone, earth, wood, bamboo, silk, yu, leather, and Bayin section musical instruments.

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "Today, the wise men are coming, and beauties are gathering. Haha, since it is a musical tea party, then there must be music first. Please choose a suitable instrument and let's have a big ensemble."

Li Jian chose the guqin, Princess Qingle was the guzheng, Fairy Jingyi was the dongxiao, Lin Hanyun was the feng flute, Chen Ji drums, Sun Zhan chose Zhuchi, Sun Sheng chose the guanzi, Yang Xiaopin was the zheng, Niannu Pipa, Xiaoqian looked at Zhou Xuan pitifully and said, "Son-in-law, Xiaoqian can't even have any musical instruments."

Zhou Xuan smiled and said, "It's okay, just sit and listen. From now on, I will learn the same musical instrument with Miss Xiaopin."

Lin Heishan raised his beard and smiled, "I don't know either, I just brought my ears and mouth."

Judge Fan beats the six chimes, Gu Changshi met Xiao Ruan, and Abu beats the Jie drum. His two concubines can play pan flutes and the other can play the flute.

The Three Crazy is rather boring, and he doesn’t know how to play musical instruments. If the Four Crazy chooses the same olympus, it is rare for those who can play the olympus.

Zhou Xuan took out the shiny Bayin Baoqin. He asked Lin Hanyun back in the afternoon except this.

Zhou Xuan said loudly: "I have three questions, all of which are related to music. Every time the answer is correct, there is a unique thing to give to each other." As he said that, he looked at the Lin sisters, and Lin Hanyun blinked at him.
