Chapter 418: The Evening

No matter how much unpleasantness happened, everything went according to schedule in the evening. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The bonfire party is different from the normal banquet, there is no need to deliberately invite, but anyone who wants to come can come and have a lively time. So this time, Lin Yu also brought Taicai over.

It's almost March, so the wind at night is exceptionally warm.

During the day, the tables were set outside, and everyone still sat in the same position as during the day, but there were many tables, but some of the tables that originally sat for two people became three, and the slaves who were not allowed to enter the yurt during the day could now stand in the outer circle of the table.

A huge bonfire was lit, and four sheep were still roasting on a small fire next to it. The whole venue is full of aromas, and it is very warm and bright.

The bonfires are also of great significance to this people on horseback.

It is said that in the beginning, the steppe people, like the people of the Central Plains, used fire to disperse wild beasts. Later, it was discovered that the smoke from the campfire could repel mosquitoes. And this bonfire can also point the way for nocturnal walkers. Therefore, the prototype of the bonfire party is that in the early years, everyone returned from hunting every day, sat around the bonfire to roast food, and then sang and danced for the bonfire to express the joy of harvest.

Nowadays, bonfires have become a celebratory event and an important part of Hushan culture.

This is the first time Lin Yu has participated in a bonfire party since he arrived in Hushan.

A chubby, somewhat depressed middle-aged man and a thin old man with white hair and beard walked out. The middle-aged man was dressed in a beautiful blue outfit, and the black belt stretched his big belly out of a swimming ring. All of his curly hair had been combed back by him, and he had tied a ponytail with a hoop around his beard, and although he tried his best to cover it with the hair in front of him, he could still see the shiny scalp in the middle. The elderly are relatively simple and not so fancy, but they can also see the good texture of the clothes. He was in good spirits and his eyes were very bright. The Hu Shanqin in his hand has the appearance of years, and it can be seen that the years with him are not short.

The two of them arrived in the center of the room, saluted the emperor, and then saluted in turn to both sides, and finally the old man went to the chair prepared in advance and sat down. Then, the melodious sound of Hushan Qin sounded. This Hushanqin is also called Huqin, which is the later horse-head qin. In modern times, it is not easy to hear the matouqin, Lin Yu is not an expert in music, but he feels that this situation, with this music, seems to be very beautiful. However, listening to it, it seemed that there were other things mixed in the sound of the horse-head qin, and it turned out that I don't know when the fat middle-aged man began to join in, singing a long tune in a guttural voice.

Long tune, also known as long song or long tune pastoral song, is also a musical form formed by the Hushan people in their long-term nomadic life. Savoring it is like whispering to nature.

The sound of the horse-head qin is small, but with a long song as a companion, the two can be regarded as making up for each other and complementing each other. Everyone held their breath for fear of missing every comforting, ironing syllable.

After the song, the audience burst into warm applause.

"Uncle Huang, these are the two most famous music masters in our Hushan, right?" Jing Hao asked the emperor for confirmation.

"Exactly!" The emperor smiled, not seeing the unhappiness in the yurt before, and even told Jing Hao about the history of these two artists. also said that when Jing Hao ascended the throne, he would let the two of them sing poems to him.

After a performance by two of Hushan's most famous performing artists, Coral also walked up.

Coral was predominantly young, and unlike the artists brought by the emperor, they excelled in tanka accompanied by drums. Compared with long songs, tanka is more cheerful and can bring the atmosphere around you better, so after a while, everyone is infected one after another, happily joining in the venue, dancing to the beautiful music.

The bonfire party is a time to have fun with the people, so there are no rules at this time, and anyone who wants to play can join in the field.

Qing'er's eyes were shining, and Taicai also looked eager to try, so Lin Yu let the two of them go down together, and he continued to sit at the table, enjoying the roast lamb chops that Chef had just sent and were still bubbling with oil.

A mouthful of roasted lamb chops, a sip of mare's milk wine, and then watching the cheerful dance in the field, listening to melodious music, if it is regarded as a tourist vacation, then she is really worth the trip this time.

"Miss Lin!" At this time, Lin Yu heard someone calling her, and she looked in the direction of the finger of the person who reminded her, and it turned out to be Concubine Yu Niangniang who was greeting her.

Lin Yu got up and went to Concubine Yu's side.

"When I see you watching a polo game during the day, it's called full attention, I thought you liked Hushan culture very much, why don't you like to watch this interesting show at night?" Concubine Yu smiled warmly, as if she was caring about an old friend.

"It's not that I don't like it, it's just that I prefer to be around and watch others be lively rather than participating. Drink a little wine, eat some food, how comfortable. Lin Yu smiled, her limbs were uncoordinated, and she couldn't dance Hushan's dance, so it was better not to go down to attract attention.

"Yes. Most of the women of Tianzhe do not like to participate in such activities. Concubine Yu smiled, "But ah, since you're here, it's best to follow the local customs, otherwise it will be more conspicuous." After speaking, sure enough, a noble lady next to him came over and invited Concubine Yu to dance together.

Concubine Yu nodded at Lin Yu, and joined the scene with the noble lady.

Lin Yu returned to his seat, and many people around him had already left the scene one after another, Lin Yu poured the wine in the cup just now, and asked the maid next to him to refill a pot for himself, and then began to enjoy the dance and drink at the same time.

At this time, Jing Hao had already accompanied the emperor to get off the field, and after jumping a few times, he came to find Lin Yu.

"Don't you want to go down and play for a while?" Jing Hao sat next to Lin Yu and asked.

Lin Yu felt as if the air around him had suddenly become hotter. Smiled and shook his head, "I can't go down, I don't want so many people to look at me, I'm not doing well." ”

"Hmm. It's okay, I'll teach you later. Jing Hao's mouth was close to Lin Yu's ear and said.

"Okay." Lin Yu also smiled, and then drank another glass of wine.

"You wait a while, if you feel bored, I will ask Tianjiu and them to send you back in advance, and you don't have to follow the situation tonight. The saint drank too much just now, and as long as he leaves, we won't have to stay until the end. ”

"Hmm." Lin Yu responded, "But I always feel a little hot, maybe I was roasted by this fire." I guess I'd better go out for a walk first, it's around here. ”

"Okay, you wait a while, I'll let Tianjiu and Tianten accompany you." (To be continued.) )
