Chapter 459: Hospitality

"Come, Song Envoy, please take a seat!" After Yan Agu entered the felt tent, he said enthusiastically: "Serve the wine!" ”

According to the customs of the Jin Dynasty, every important guest must drink, which is not a drink before a meal, but a kind of respect, but also a symbol of status. It's just that the Jin Dynasty has not yet invaded the Great Song Dynasty, so it drinks mare's milk wine, the same as the Liao.

When the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty won a battle, they would definitely drink alcohol, and they would also drink alcohol whenever they had a happy occasion. Originally, drinking utensils were only made of wood, but later they traded with the Great Song Dynasty, so that the nobles of the Jin Dynasty used gold, silver and jade as the material to make drinking utensils.

With the sound of Wanyan Agu, a maid immediately served the wine, and the mare's milk wine was directly packed in a pot made of cowhide, which not only maintained the original flavor, but also was easy to carry. Therefore, the Jurchens have a long history of drinking and live in the north, and when the weather is cold, they must drink to ward off the cold.

Moreover, the Jurchens like to persuade them to drink the most, and they must drink heavily whenever they drink, and they will not return home if they are not drunk. This is a custom, and Wanyan Aguda shows his sincerity and respect for Zhao Gou and others.

Zhao Gou, Zhao Yougong, Gao Chong, and Yue Fei sat down separately, each of them had a pot of mare's milk wine in front of them, and there were four maids who were beautifully dressed and beautiful, pouring wine for Zhao Gou and others, and the drinking objects they used were all cups made of pure gold.

As for the porcelain used by Wanyan Aguda, don't think that the porcelain wine utensils are not good, that is wrong. The flavor of porcelain drinking is stronger, even if Wanyan Aguda is old, they still love the things in the cup, which is their habit and has been cultivated since childhood.

"Thank you for the emperor's reward!" Zhao Gou respectfully thanked him, he did not follow the Jurchen people's name, but according to the Song culture.

Then, Zhao Gou picked up the wine glass, and a fishy smell came to his nose, which made him frown, and after seeing Yan Aguda so hospitalized, and he couldn't help but know what to do, so he had to drink it hard. The smell was hard to swallow, and there was a fishy smell in the wine.

Although it is a strong drink, it is really difficult to accept it in such a way.

Zhao Yougong, Gao Chong, Yue Fei and others also took a drink, and their feelings were the same as Zhao Gou. If it weren't for the felt tent, I am afraid that everyone would have poured the mare's milk wine directly, and they would really not be used to it. Such a drink is simply not drunk by people, and there is still a fishy smell of mare's milk wine in the mouth.

Zhao Gou used to drink mare's milk wine, but the taste at that time was very different from now, not to mention the technical content at all, it was a disgusting taste.

"What does the Song envoy think?" Wanyan Aguda also drank a cup, in a happy mood, and saw that Zhao Gou and the others had a drink, he was slightly stunned, and said with a smile: "Do you feel a little difficult to swallow?" Actually, it's not that people of our own tribe basically don't get used to it, but we just like the taste, it's strong and strong enough! ”

"You Song people drink wine differently from ours, I think I also drank it at the beginning, but unfortunately the taste is still not as good as our wine!"

Zhao Gou smiled: "We are Song people, so we should not be suitable for drinking this kind of wine." ”

Wan Yan said: "No, this kind of wine has strength." Just like going into battle to kill the enemy, drinking this wine, the body is full of raging fire, even if it is cold, there is no need to worry. With this wine as a companion, even the Khitan is still fearless! ”

"What the emperor said is extremely true!" Zhao Gou replied without being humble or arrogant, "However, I still think that the wine is suitable, and there is no need to have too much!" More is a loss, less is boring, only moderation is the right way. In addition, I thought that such a fine wine was full of wildness, but it still did not match me! ”

Wan Yansheng sneered: "I think you dislike it!" ”

"Fourth brother, stop it!" Wan Yan Ah Gu saw Wan Yan Sheng interject and immediately stopped.

"Sure enough, it's him!" Zhao Gou heard the sound of Wan Yan Ah Gu's beating, and he was sure that the envoy in front of him was Wan Yan Sheng.

Suddenly, Zhao Gou's mind recalled the Jin soldiers' invasion of the Great Song Dynasty, and there was a bit of sharpness in his eyes, which was fleeting. However, he was still beaten by Wan Yan Agu, he glanced at Zhao Gou quietly, and then looked at Yan Sheng, and secretly thought: "Could it be that you have exposed your feet?" ”

Wan Yan Sheng was stopped by his brother's drink, his face changed suddenly, and he stared at Zhao Gou again, his eyes were full of provocation, ridicule, and a trace of murder. Zhao Gou saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, but he didn't respond all the time, and looked back with a smile on his face.

Although Wan Yan Sheng interjected, Wan Yan Ah Gu reprimanded a few times, but he did not continue to investigate, and Zhao Gou and the others also took it to heart and did not show it. Then the crowd drank again, and ordered the deer and goats to be roasted directly on the fire.

Deer, goats, etc. were all freshly killed, and there was a trace of blood between the flesh and blood, which was roasted by the fire and dripped directly onto the charcoal fire. Because the weather here is a little cold, although it is already spring and summer in the Great Song Dynasty, the climate here is more like winter.

Although there is sunshine, it is not so hot, even in the felt tent, there is still not a trace of heat. It wasn't until the fire was lit that everyone noticed that it was a little hot, and Wanyan immediately ordered someone to open part of the felt tent, and a gust of wind blew, and the temperature dropped again.

At this time, the climate of Liaoyang Mansion was suitable, neither hot nor cold, and the Jurchens were also dressed in spring, and the women's clothes were even more diverse. Originally, I wanted the maid to dance for fun, but now is the time when the war is tight, and I will let go of this thought.

Drinking mare's milk wine and eating barbecue, Zhao Gou recalled the experience of eating barbecue in later life, if there was beer, it would be better than mare's milk wine. Eating barbecue and drinking beer, the taste is really indescribable, which makes Zhao Gou yearn for a while!

Due to the continuous rush and the fact that he had never rested, Wanyan Aguta was even more thoughtful, and directly asked Zhao Gou and the others to go down to rest, and then discuss the next day. Originally, Zhao Gou was ready to show off his might and might, but this situation was far from what he thought, and the second monk was really confused.

This time, Wanyan Aguda treated them and others as guests, not only hospitality, but also respected Zhao Gou and others very much, without any arrogance, which was in stark contrast to Wanyan Sheng's attitude. Zhao Gou was really a little puzzled, and he couldn't understand which play this was singing.

If Wanyan Aguta really treated the Song people so politely, then the previous envoys would not have suffered much. Therefore, Zhao Gou guessed that there was bound to be fraud. But these things must be done after tonight, and tomorrow will not be really seen.

Not only Zhao Gou was puzzled, but even Zhao Yougong, Yue Fei and others were a little puzzled, they really couldn't understand Yan Agu's plan, not to mention that this matter was originally an alliance, he was not in a hurry at all, this was even more incomprehensible!
