Dong Ling danced with joy. She retreated and stepped on the tip of Hu Ji's foot, causing Hu Ji to cry out in pain. Dong Ling turned pale with fright and quickly turned around to support the wine cup in Hu Ji's hand. She said, "Be careful, this is a hundred thousand taels. If it breaks, I'll use you to pay the debt!"
When Hu Ji heard this, she was shocked. She quickly hugged the wine cup tightly to her bosom, putting on a heroic look that said, "If the cup lives, the person lives, the person dies."
"Madam, I think … … let's forget about it. It's just a bottle of wine. How can it be worth so much money?" Liu Junfan, who had just swaggered onto the stage, took advantage of everyone's attention being focused on the private room to come down from the stage. She embarrassedly moved to Madam Yao's side and quietly advised her.
Madam Yao ignored her and only fiercely glared at Tin Aino. She clenched her fists and shouted, "One hundred and twenty thousand taels!"
Unfortunately, even though she had increased the price by twenty thousand taels, there was no effect at all. Everyone held their breath and looked at the private room, waiting for the young girl to increase the price. The young girl did not disappoint. Her crisp voice rang out again, "Two hundred thousand taels!"
There was still no noise in the audience. It wasn't that the price wasn't high enough, but because the sudden increase in price was so unexpected that everyone was momentarily stunned.
Of course, Tin Aino wasn't afraid of bidding. This fine wine cup was brought by her. Even if she called out a price of ten million taels, her total loss would only be the five hundred taels she had paid the owner. What was there for her to be afraid of? Madam Yao's expression greatly changed. Her originally straight back slightly bowed.
Only then did the noise of the audience spread through the entire restaurant like a tornado. It was unknown who knocked over the wine pot or who knocked over the wine cup. There was also someone who stood up and looked around. However, because he couldn't keep his footing, he fell onto a screen and knocked it to the ground.
In the city of Luoyang, it was not uncommon to see people fighting for their wealth. It was said that on a hot summer day, there was once a noble young master who was enjoying the cool air by the Luo River. In passing, he plucked a pearl from his waist and threw it into the river, telling a Kunlun slave who was an expert in swimming to get it. The Luo River was deep and turbulent, how could it be so easy to find a pearl? Nine out of ten pearls simply could not be found.
But that was just a rumor after all. Two hundred thousand for a cup of wine was something that he had seen with his own eyes. How was this any different from throwing pearls into the water?
Tin Aino smiled and ordered, "Ke 'er, go get the wine."
Ke Er was the green-clothed maidservant that she had hired. This girl's figure and appearance were quite pleasant, but her IQ seemed to be a little low … so no one was willing to hire her. Tin Aino actually liked to keep her by his side. If she didn't understand things, then she wouldn't meddle. He would just treat her as a decoration. When he was discussing things with Yang Fan, he didn't need to be overly careful.
Ke 'er agreed and walked up to the stage. She took the cup of wine from the hands of Hu Ji, who' would rather die in glory than live in disgrace ', and walked back. When she got off the stage, she actually jumped off in a daze. The surrounding customers were all on tenterhooks, afraid that she would trip and two hundred thousand would go down the drain.
Madam Yao was so angry that her face turned pale and her body trembled.
Liu Junfan smiled and tried to persuade her, "Madam, how can a cup of wine be worth two hundred thousand? Why do we need to lower ourselves to the same level as these people …"
"Scram! You're so noisy, so hateful! "
Madam Yao vented all of her anger on him. She gave him a tight slap on the face, causing Liu Junfan to see stars. Madam Yao's face was filled with hostility as she said, "Scram and stand outside. This old lady is sick of seeing you!"
"Uh … okay, don't be angry. I … I …"
Liu Junfan walked out of the private room in a sorry state. The scene that happened in the private room was covered up by the clamor of the entire restaurant. Therefore, only a few customers on the opposite side of the stage, as well as the manager of Dong Ling Mountain and that Hu Ji saw it. Even so, seeing their strange gazes, Liu Junfan still felt extremely ashamed.
He stood at the door of the private room, dressed like a servant, so he could only slowly move his body, pretending to move to the left and right, as if he wanted to go to the toilet, so as to avoid arousing other people's curiosity.
Ke Er carried the cup of wine back to the private room. Tin Aino took the cup in his hand, gently pinched it, and reached out to pull out the cork. Immediately, the fragrance of the wine filled the room. Tin Aino filled two cups with the fragrant wine and pushed one cup to Yang Fan. Yang Fan took the cup and carefully sniffed it. He felt that the fragrance was overflowing, with a hint of sweetness. It really smelled good.
Tin Aino gently swirled the wine cup, sniffed the fragrance in the cup, and took a sip. He closed his eyes and savored it for a moment, then drank it in one gulp. His face relaxed as he said, "It really is a good wine!"
He looked at Yang Fan and saw that he was looking at him, so he squinted at him and said, "Why aren't you drinking?"
Yang Fan smiled and said, "That one sip will cost me a few hundred coins. I can't bear to drink it."
"Is it expensive?"
"Isn't it expensive?"
"It's not expensive!"
Tin Aino shook his head, slightly narrowed his eyes and said, "In the past, a bowl of rice soup was hard to find even with a thousand gold. Today, a cup of good wine from the Central Plains is shipped from tens of thousands of miles away. Is it expensive? It's not expensive at all! Come, let's drink! This is the first time I'm drinking with someone, and also the first time I'm asking someone to drink with me. This cup of wine, let's drink it all! "
'Golden Hairpin Drunk' shopkeeper Dong Ling sold an extremely expensive cup of wine and couldn't restrain his joy. Seeing that Madam Yao was indignant, in order to ease the atmosphere, after he left the stage, he ordered for the singing and dancing instruments to be quickly prepared. In a short while, the sound of drums rang out and a youth wearing a pointed hat and a thin felt shirt carried a dark green lacquer plate onto the stage.
The dark green lacquer plate was three feet in diameter and looked like a large lotus leaf that had opened up. When the 'lotus leaf' was placed on the floor, that youth, Hu 'er, leaped onto the plate and danced along with the rapid sounds of the Jie Drum.
This youth, Hu 'er, was about fifteen or sixteen years old. His skin was as white as jade and his nose was like an awl. He hooked his hands and stirred his sleeves, swayed his head and twisted his hips, lifted his knees and jumped. Sometimes, he leaned to the east and west, and sometimes, he did a roundhouse kick. Every movement was in response to the sound of the drums and was filled with the beauty of his movements. But no matter how graceful his dance was, his feet never took a step out of the round plate.
Some of the more knowledgeable customers saw this brilliant 'Hu Tengwu' and couldn't help but cheer.
Yang Fan and Tin Aino watched the dance and drank the wine. Very quickly, the two of them drank more than half of the cup of wine. The wine that Tin Aino drank was more than two times stronger than ordinary wine and the aftereffects were very long. At this time, the wine faintly took effect and Tin Aino's jade-like clear cheeks seemed to be smeared with a layer of rouge, a faint blush appeared on her cheeks.
This was the first time that Yang Fan saw her drink and he didn't expect her to drink so quickly. Without any persuasion, she drained the cup. She was a complete drunkard. He couldn't help but say, "Don't drink so quickly. Although this wine is sweet and mellow, the shopkeeper also said that the strength of this wine is more than two times stronger than the best wine in his shop. Don't get drunk."
Tin Aino held the cup in her hand and said charmingly, "How can I get drunk with this little wine? This wine has already been opened and there is no ice cellar to keep it. It won't be long before it turns sour. Just drink it all. " As she said this, she smiled at Yang Fan and said, "What, a man can't even drink as much as a girl like me?"
She tilted her head and looked at Yang Fan. There seemed to be a faint trace of seduction in her eyes. Yang Fan was still at the age of Mu Ai. He couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. He raised his cup and said, "Good! Although I don't drink often, I'm confident that my ability to drink is not below yours. If you want to enjoy yourself, I'll keep you company. Cheers! "
The two of them raised their cups from afar and drank it all in one gulp.
After Hu Er finished her dance, she picked up the dark green lacquer plate and retreated amidst the cheers of the entire hall. Several Hu Ji danced up onto the stage.
What was the most popular dance in Luoyang?
Of course it was the Hu Xuan Dance!
Who in the world could dance the best Hu Xuan Dance?
Of course it was Hu Ji!
Who loved to watch Hu Xuan Dance?
Of course it was men!
It was the nature of men.
As a result, as soon as the six beautiful and graceful Hu Ji went up on the stage, the entire hall was greeted with cheers.
Although Tin Aino had drunk quite a lot of wine, the more he drank, the brighter his eyes became. Looking at the six Hu Ji singing and dancing on the stage, Yang Fan couldn't take his eyes off them. He couldn't help but tease him, "Are you looking at the person or the dance?"
Yang Fan came back to his senses and said, "I'm not looking at the person or the dance. I'm just thinking, although you showed off your wealth in front of Liu Junfan today, how are you going to take it a step further? It's not easy to do it naturally. "
The corner of Tin Aino's mouth curled up. He said, "So you're worried about this. You're a man, so you think it's difficult. But for me, it's as easy as turning my hand over!"
Yang Fan said, "What brilliant plan does Mountain Man have?"
Tin Aino drank the wine in his cup in one gulp and gently placed the cup on the table. He said, "Watch me!" Lightly flicking his belt, he walked out of the room.
Yang Fan didn't know what she was going to do. Tin Aino had already stepped onto the stage. The customers who were watching the dance immediately became excited. They knew that this female guest was drunk and wanted to dance on the stage.
Just now, some of the guests had already seen her appearance; they felt that she was pretty and lovely, tender and alluring, like a flower swaying in the wind. In terms of appearance, although the Hu Ji on the stage had the advantage of the exotic charm, they were obviously inferior to her by a few notches. The other customers only knew that the female guest in the private room was extravagant, but it was only now that they saw her appearance.
Hu Ji's dance was something that could be seen every day. If she wasn't drunk today, it would be very difficult to watch a girl from a good family who was extravagant and wealthy like her. Therefore, all the customers applauded her. They had just seen a battle of wealth, and now they were able to see the dance of one of the victims. Today's trip was not in vain.
As soon as the six Hu Ji saw the female guest step onto the stage, they tacitly moved back while dancing, giving her a large space. Tin Aino seemed to be unable to drink, her feet were a little unstable. Yang Fan couldn't help but feel worried. Tin Aino steadied herself and turned around. Seeing his concerned gaze, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. Her high spirited appearance was indescribably cute.
She swayed her body to the beat of the drums, waiting for the next piece of music to start. The accompaniment to this Hu Xuan dance had a fast rhythm, vigorous and powerful. It was made up of Jie drums, clappers and other percussion instruments. The musicians on the side of the stage saw that there was a guest on the stage, so they also came to join in the fun. Suddenly, they moved the door and the Hu Xuan dance started playing again.
The heart responded to the strings, the hands responded to the drums. With the sound of the strings and drums, Tin Aino's sleeves were raised high and the sleeves slid down, revealing half of her white wrists. Before anyone could see that pair of delicate and moving wrists, Tin Aino's body was already dancing like snow in the wind. The dance was beautiful because of the movement and the heart was flying because of the dance.
Tin Aino was sometimes like a snowflake floating in the air, sometimes like a fluffy grass dancing in the wind. That enchanting body was perfectly displayed as she spun.
