The King of the Warring States Era - C50

All the influential nobles in the Middle Kingdom raised their own “Scholars”. The more strange and unusual the people in the house, the higher the prestige of the powerful and powerful they would be. As such, the Hou Mansion was bustling with activity and fame.

The banquet was about to begin, as Young Master Wei walked into the main hall amidst the long cauldron chimes. Beside him was the marquis wife, and behind the prince and his wife were two people walking together, one of them was the advisor, the one who held the greatest wisdom in Wei Yu’s mind, Wu Ziqiu, while the other was a warrior whose aura was thick, and his vital energy and blood was warm. He was a Martial Saint Ranker with a sword in his left hand, Mu Shaofeng.

Originally, with his identity and title, he could not even sit in the front row. Even in the main hall, he sat outside in the courtyard, because he had used his great wisdom and bravery to infiltrate the hundred thousand Qin Army formation and capture the enemy Grand Marshal alive, and the enemy commander was even the famous Gan Mao, this made the Wei Country extremely infamous, and made the entire Eastern Kingdom sullen. On this night’s welcoming day, he was given a good seat, to display the thirst of the Young Master Wei, and show how talented he was.

Everyone looked at Chen Ling at the same time. Some people praised, some people were curious, some people were jealous, some people disapproved, and some people sneered without saying a word.

Chen Ling cupped his hands and returned the gaze of respect. It was not the least bit messy, but it was firm and steady, and his every move was flawless.

Young Master Wei opened with a speech, then said: “Let us invite Mr. Gan Mao to the feast!”

In that moment, two warriors opened the path, and brought Gan Mao into the main hall. As soon as he entered the hall, everyone’s eyes were on him.

Gan Mao came in front of the jade table and sat on the thick cushion, his expression was normal, as if he did not care that he had become the center of attention. At the moment, his face was slightly thin, but there were a pair of deep eyes that were still extremely focused.

Young Master Wei extended both his hands and removed the lid of the cauldron, then said: “Please enjoy your meal, everyone, please enjoy your meal.” Wei Yu smiled as he extended his hand to invite them in. All the guests present opened the stoves solemnly, releasing the hot air in the air, which lingered in the pavilion. At this moment, every maid knelt down behind the jade table and used a small copper spoon to place the bright red square meat onto the copper plate.

For a moment, the air was filled with hot air, the fragrance of meat overflowing, it made one’s appetite stir! Chen Ling had gone out of his way to eat and sleep, when he saw the fragrant and delicious cooked meat, he did not hold back and started to eat as well. The beautiful servant girls beside him continuously poured wine and tore off meat for him.

These maids did not have much status in the House of the Marquis, and were only servants that were only slightly higher than slaves. Sometimes, a guest could choose a guest official and ask him for permission to stay the night, and if he did, he could make a request to the Young Master Wei to accept him as a concubine, which would then be able to change his identity from a maid to that of a scholar and a capable concubine.

“Come, everyone, let us toast to the Qin Nation General Gan Mao!” Young Master Wei suddenly raised his bronze cup. He held his three-legged hat in both of his hands and invited a toast to the guests.

The guests raised their cups, and with Chen Ling and Gan Mao, they all drank a cup together.

The Young Master Wei smiled and said, “How can such fine wine and delicacies lack singing and dancing to liven things up? Wouldn’t it be disgraceful? Someone, invite Huai Shui and Bajie out for a dance.”

Everyone’s eyes immediately lit up when they heard the words “Eight Ji”. These eight Ji sisters were all extremely beautiful, skilled in singing and dancing, and had been bought from the Qi Nation with a huge sum of money. Normally, they would set themselves up to enjoy life, and it was normal for them to spend a night playing with other women.

In an instant, a bell sounded behind the screen, and the sound of a string of silk bamboo sounded out. The melody was melodious and melodious; following that, eight girls walked out from the other side of the screen with their hair in a bun, and floated to their seats like butterflies, dancing gracefully and performing a variety of beautiful and knowing dances.

These eight women were all exquisite and graceful. They were coated with a thin layer of makeup, and their skin was as white as snow. They wore a gauze gown which faintly revealed its curves, and when the skirt was lifted, it would reveal a smooth and delicate white color from time to time.

Chen Ling looked at the flourishing feast, and thought about the brutality of the battlefield. “Before the soldiers die in battle, under the beauties’ tent, there was dancing and singing.”

Gan Mao only glanced at them and laughed lightly. He actually closed his eyes and rested.

At the end of the dance, the music still played as the eight ladies walked out of the banquet hall. A guest praised, “The Young Master has collected the eight ladies of Huai, and they are extremely rare in the world. Those who are able to do so, please embrace them, Young Master Xi!”

“Congratulations, Young Master Xi!” Most of the foreign delegates followed suit.

Young Master Wei said with a smile, “This Bajie is indeed an outstanding singer and dancer, her looks are beautiful, but she is not at the pinnacle of beauty in the world. It is said that there is a list of the top ten beauties in the various empires in the world, and there are the four most talented and talented women, all of whom are rarely seen in the world.
