Chapter 354: Exquisite
Paintings are hung indoors, incense is burned, curtains are lowered, and red candles are shining.
Wang Lie suddenly felt that he had broken into a Middle-earth elegant house, but the exotic pendants hanging on the four walls rendered the customs of this place to the fullest, making it impossible to equate it with Middle-earth.
Yehenala was dressed in a blue background with flowers, and the style of the dress was between the Daming skirt and the Jurchen robe. The hair is held in a high bun, like a snail.
The Jurchens in the middle of the Ming Dynasty were dressed very differently from the Jurchens of the Jin Dynasty, and they were also very different from the later Manchu Qing Dynasty. At this time, the Jurchen men had their hair, and their hair was almost shaved, leaving only two small tufts of hair on the back of their heads, braided into two braids as thin as ropes, one high and one low, and usually wrapped in turbans. Most of the beard was also shaved off, leaving only about ten whiskers on the left and right of the upper lip.
Judging by modern aesthetic standards, such a look looks quite comical.
Jurchen women also wore their hair when they were young, kept their hair before marriage, and braided and combed it after marriage.
At this time, the Jurchens were in a cultural "depression" in their interactions with various ethnic groups in the north. They do not use the large and small characters of the Jurchens of the Jin Dynasty, and most of the communication with people is in foreign languages, such as Mongolian, Chinese, and even Korean, and many Jurchens are proficient in multiple languages. As for the Manchu script, it was created one hundred and fifty years later, when the Qing Emperor Nurhachi ordered the people to refer to the traditional Uighur Mongolian language.
On the whole, the culture and customs of the Jurchens were influenced by the Mongols, Han Chinese, and Koreans, among which the Mongols were the most influential. However, Yehenara obviously likes Han culture more, her dress and temperament are very different from ordinary Jurchen women, and when she gets along with Han people, she does not have half a sense of disobedience.
"General, please take a seat."
Seeing Yehenara's invitation, Wang Lie sat down in a panic, his butt only pressed the corner of the chair, and the chair suddenly tilted, but when he heard the "click", he hurriedly reached out to hold the wooden case, which saved him from falling on his back.
"Giggle······
The two maidservants in the room chuckled for a while, but they didn't cover their mouths like the Han girls.
Yehenara looked at the painting on the wall lightly, his eyes were gloomy, "Please General Huang drink." ”
General Huang? It's not as good as General Zhang! Wang Lie's heart was half cold, and he sat down blankly, and saw a servant girl pouring wine nearby, covering the face of Yehenara.
I drank it all, only to feel that it was like cold water in my throat, and the taste was faint, like a trace of night coolness outside the window. "My name is Wang Lie."
"I grew up listening to the story of King Yue, and I heard that he was assassinated and taken captive at the age of eight; At the age of ten, he killed five soldiers with one jade, and on the way to escape, he called a group of refugees to kill all the horses of Warat; At the age of twelve, the temple discussed politics and overpowered a generation of celebrities; At the age of thirteen, he led his army to intercept the Warat cavalry, which had entered the Kou, and tasted his first victory······ The general often follows the king of Yue, can you tell those bizarre stories again. ”
Can we not talk about King Yue? Wang Lie poured the pot of wine by himself, and his heart was mixed. When it comes to King Yue's past, Wang Lie has his own attitude of honor, but at this moment, he longs for the Yehenara clan to only ask about his own heroic past.
"'The heroes and heroes of the world, Jiang Zuo's beautiful husband'!" Yehnara's bright eyes were reflected in the candle flame, and the candle flame was also dimmed, "I finally understand what it means to be 'extraordinary'!" Today's crisis seems thrilling, but he is talking and laughing, letting everything settle down, and he is as comfortable as a game, and who in the world can compare with him! ”
Yehenala got up and walked slowly to the curtain to stop, "There are Warat people, Uliangha people, Liaodong army, Jianzhou Jurchen, and North Korea, all forces are intertwined, chaotic, but he acted meticulously, and after his skillful hands, he was born to make a good situation for the Ming Dynasty, this kind of wisdom and courage is really eye-opening!" ”
Wang Lie was taken aback, and then realized that the Yehenara clan was a strange woman, not as simple as a "vase", and the little insight in his stomach seemed to be far away from her.
Ye Henara opened the door curtain a crack, and saw that the figures in the hall were chaotic, and Zhu Qiming on the high platform frequently intersected with people's eyebrows and eyes, with a slight smile on his face, and his thoughts seemed to be between the ethereal clouds and water.
Alas, he did not belong to this wild land after all!
Yehenala closed the curtain, and when he turned around, he was lonely in his eyes, stood still for a long time, and smiled at Wang Lie, "General Wang just feel free and have fun." His face was slightly gloomy, "You are suspected of violating discipline today, King Yue is very strict in governing the army, presumably you will be punished tomorrow, I will go back to my father-in-law and tell him, let my father-in-law intercede for you." ”
Wang Lie's scalp was numb at first, and then a warm current surged into his heart.
That's it, as long as you remember the word General Wang, what's the matter if I am scolded with a rod!
······
"You're using the wrong needle, you're using too many flat needles!"
In Hangweiju, the place where Zhu Qiming once lived temporarily, Lu Xiyao lived for more than a year, here, she took care of her leg injury, in addition to practicing swords, she was with Mei Yingxue to play the piano and be a female celebrity, and occasionally pointed out this sister who was called "Xue'er" by people, and her life was not very lonely.
"I just got distracted and forgot to change the stitch!"
Mei Yingxue pleaded coquettishly, and then leaned on Lu Xiyao affectionately, "Sister, do you want His Royal Highness King Yue?" ”
A hint of shame flashed across Lu Xiyao's face, but she soon diverted the topic: "Let's continue to embroider towels." ”
Mei Yingxue sighed, and said sincerely: "Sister, I think your hard work over the years is worth it!" ”
Hard waiting? Lu Xiyao's heart moved, and suddenly felt that time had flown by, and the moment when her heart sprouted many years ago seemed to be just yesterday, and that unforgettable experience never went away at any time.
Girlfriends of the same age have already married women, and I heard that even Zhou Xiaodie, the woman who harmed her, was given marriage by the emperor and married to a new science and technology scholar, but she is still waiting.
No, there is no waiting between people with the same soul!
I wanted to let this cranky sister Xue'er take it away, and suddenly saw Yanluo entering, Lu Xiyao hurriedly invited Mei Yingxue to salute together.
"I've seen Mrs. Ru."
Yanluo didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly replied to Wanfuli.
"Miss Lu has recovered, and it is inconvenient to live here, so it is better to ······ Let's go back to Beijing? ”
"Back to Beijing?" Lu Xiyao was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes were as bright as usual, "I don't know where my family went, when I returned to Beijing at this time, could it be that Mrs. Ruru wanted me to stay in the Mansion of King Yu?" ”
Yanluo was slightly shocked, "What a delicate heart!" Oh, the King of Servants sent someone to spread the word, saying that Miss Lu should stay in the Mansion of the King of Servants, so that everything would be convenient. ”
Lu Xiyao's face was cold, "This is what Uncle Pang meant, right?" Madame Ru also knows that there is only one person who can decide whether I go or stay, and no one can make a decision except him, not even His Royal Highness King Yu! ”
Yanluo was stunned for a long time, and turned to Mei Yingxue, "What about Miss Mei?" ”
"Didn't you say it was okay earlier?" Mei Yingxue grabbed Lu Xiyao's arm, "I listen to Sister Lu!" ”
