Chapter 50: The Choice of Advance and Retreat
On the second day of Zhiyanchong's return to Huining, Wanyanhu's brother Zongxiong came to him for a drink. Orihiko said: "It's better to drink tea." I recently got two catties of good tea in the south, which is Sichuan Mengding, which is extremely rare here. ”
Zong Xiong was overjoyed, he was diligent and studious, although he did not waste a day of study in the frequent wars, Yang Yingqi said that he "looks completely a Jurchen, but his spirit is better than that of my Han people." He was also proud of his civil and military skills, and was extremely fond of all aspects of Han culture. Yang Pu's Tang Tea Ceremony, Yang Kaiyuan's Song Tea Ceremony, and Yang Yingqi's New Tea Ceremony He has studied. Originally, Zhe Yan Chong was the master, Zong Xiong was a guest, and it should be Ori Yan Chong who made tea, but the relationship between the two was extraordinary, and Ori Yan Chong was not good at this, so Zong Xiong did it.
When the water was boiling on the charcoal stove, Zongxiong asked Zhi Yan Chong: "Did the second uncle tell you about the relocation of the Han Department today?" ”
Orihiko said, "I said." ”
Zongxiong asked, "What did the second uncle say?" ”
Zhi Yan said: "It seems that it is necessary to move." ”
Zong Xiong took water to wash the tea, and said, "Did you say where to go?" ”
Orihiko rushed: "No." ”
Zongxiong stopped talking, concentrated on the tea, put the tea soup into the dish, picked it up and sniffed, tasted it for a long time, and then said: "Yan Chong, there are some words, I hesitated for a long time and didn't speak." But now that the big thing is going to be decided, there will be no chance in the future. ”
Zhi Yan said: "You and I are called Uncle Lang, and we are like brothers. Between brothers, there is no end to words, why hide it? ”
Zong Xiong said: "At the beginning, Mu Han (Zong Han) took you into my Jurchen, and I didn't approve of it very much, but seeing that you are loyal, brave and upright, and Ying Qi is erudite and talented, it is really very beneficial to my Wanyan clan, so I gradually gave up my previous suspicions. After you married Ah Hu, Hanbu and Wanyan became even closer. The fact that my father was here when he died is proof that he has completely treated you as his own. It's just that in the past few years, you have always insisted on retaining Han customs, and your behavior is very different from my Jurchen. That's right, my second uncle is inconvenient to force you to change your customs because of his original promise, but in his heart he hopes that you can take the initiative to change your customs. Can't you see his thoughts? I'm afraid not. You want to keep the ancestral family law, but this is the Jurchen, it's Huining! Seeing that my Dajin has shocked the world, but you are still so stiff-necked, can the second uncle have no mustard in his heart? So although your credit has been getting bigger and bigger in recent years, the tribute and goods paid by the Han Department are also the highest among all the tribes,?
