Chapter 199: Singers and Dancers
According to Huang Taiji's arrangement, that night, Dolgon hosted a banquet to entertain Huang Xiaofu and his party, which was the first contact between the two sides before formal negotiations.
Huang Taiji's purpose is to hope that Dolgon will find out the bottom from Huang Xiaofu's mouth, and the more information about Daming, the better, so the number of people attending the banquet is not much, only five people, except for Dolgon and Huang Xiaofu, as well as the translators of both sides, there is only one Dolgon's minor brother, the owner of the white flag, and one of the four little Baylors.
Duoduo took the translator Boercha and waited in the hall early, and the translator brought by Huang Xiaofu was called Qiu Zhen, who was a graduate of the Daming Detective Academy.
Soon after they arrived, Dorgon came.
"Mr. Huang, welcome to Dajin Country." Dolgon rushed over enthusiastically, about to give Huang Xiaofu a manly hug.
Huang Xiaofu couldn't hide, so he had to accept it, "Lord Belle is polite." ”
"Mr. Huang, let's talk while eating!" Dolgon stretched out his hand and invited Huang Xiaofu to the table, but turned back to the attendant behind him and said, "Since Mr. Huang has arrived, let's have a banquet!" ”
"Guests are as you please, Lord Belle, please!" Huang Xiaofu is also welcome.
Dolgon took the throne, and Huang Xiaofu and Duoduo, one on the left and one on the right, and two interpreters, all stood behind their respective masters.
A table full of dishes!
It is said that the table is full, in fact, there are only six kinds, five meat and one vegetable, except for the small point of the plate of Chinese cabbage, the rest are extra-large tile plates, the plate is full of meat, the weather is cold at night, in order to prevent the dishes from getting cold, the firewood is lit below.
Huang Xiaofu was overjoyed, he was a carnivore, but he was very poor whether he was foolish in Shaanxi or in the Ministry of Rites. When I suddenly saw so much meat, my heart was already happy, but my face did not change color.
"Mr. Huang, you are an envoy from the Ming Dynasty and the most honored guest of our Dajin Kingdom. For this first cup, our brother first saluted Mr. Huang. Dolgon raised the white jade cup, looked at Huang Xiaofu first, and then gestured to Duoduo with his gaze.
Duoduo had already raised the full cup in his hand and faced Huang Xiaofu.
Huang Xiaofu also raised his glass: "Thank you Lord Belle, two Lord Belle, please." ”
As soon as the wine was entered, Huang Xiaofu felt that something was wrong, and the mare's milk wine had a sour and astringent taste.
Half a glass of wine in the mouth, but I don't want to enter the stomach.
Dolgon noticed Huang Xiaofu's embarrassed appearance, "Mr. Huang can't get used to drinking this mare's milk wine?" ”
Huang Xiaofu had wine in his mouth, and he couldn't speak, so he had to grit his teeth, swallow it violently like drinking Coptis soup, "Goodong", swallowed half a cup of mare's milk wine, he patted his chest, inhaled again and again, and stuck out his tongue, "Lord Belle, I'm really a little unaccustomed." ”
"Mr. Huang, they all complain about me, I didn't prepare the rice wine that you Han people drink in advance - but in Dajin Kingdom, you can't buy this kind of wine at all!" Dolgon laughed, "When Mr. Huang returns to the Ming Dynasty in the future, he must build a relationship with your majesty and let the two countries have a normal exchange of materials." ”
"That's for sure." Huang Xiaofu said as he snatched a large piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, weakening the strange taste of mare's milk wine.
Mare's milk wine is not good, but the meat is still very satisfying to Huang Xiaofu, the meat of Dajin Country is spicy, but Huang Xiaofu is a native of Yansui, Shaanxi, Yansui belongs to the Qinling Mountains - north of the Huai River, it is a typical northern dry climate, in order to keep out the cold, local ingredients are also indispensable for spicy.
Although Dolgon frequently advised him to drink, Huang Xiaofu didn't drink much, he really didn't like the smell of mare's milk wine, and he had more energy to eliminate all kinds of big meat.
Dolgon and the Duoduo brothers, but they ate less and drank more, which just complemented Huang Xiaofu.
Dolgon originally planned to pour Huang Xiaofu hard, with the amount of alcohol of their brothers, it should be more than enough to pour down a Han person, but Huang Xiaofu was not used to mare's milk wine, so his wish was frustrated, he couldn't force the wine, at least now there was no need for this.
After gobbling it up, although the banquet was not removed, the speed of eating and drinking slowed down significantly.
Dolgon made a move, and seven or eight young women entered, all of whom were of good looks and dressed in different ways, the woman at the head was dressed in a purple and red jacket, decorated with strips of white cloth, and the two sleeves were sapphire blue.
"Mr. Huang came to Dajin Country for the first time, would you like to listen to the singing and dancing of my Jurchens? Jurchen is a nation that is very good at singing and dancing, and these singers and dancers are the most famous in the Shengjing area. ”
Huang Xiaofu has nothing to do, and now that he is back in the inn, he has nothing to do, he can only look at the fireworks and think about the night, he is noncommittal, "There is Lord Lao Belle to the gods!" ”
Dorgon clapped his hands gently, and several women, under the guidance of the leader woman, quickly arranged their positions.
The singer at the head sang and danced, and the dancers behind also danced.
Huang Xiaofu couldn't understand the singing and dancing of the Jurchens at all, but these young and lively Jurchen women with hot bodies were somewhat eye-catching, and Huang Xiaofu couldn't help but take a few more looks.
Slowly, he followed the example of Dorgon and Duoduo, clapping his hands and beating the dancers, but his eyes were staring at the singing and dancing girls in the field, one of them wearing a beige scarf and an emerald green short jacket, which gradually attracted all the attention of Huang Xiaofu.
In this group of singers and dancers, she is like a green butterfly, flying up and down left and right in the field, more enchanting than the leading singer.
Huang Taiji leaned over: "Mr. Huang, Da Ming and Da Jin, if they were like us tonight, with wine to drink, meat to eat, and songs and dances to enjoy, it would be so good - there would be a lot less fighting, and fewer brothers would die!" ”
"That's what Lord Belle said!" Huang Xiaofu's gaze hadn't left the butterfly green dancer yet, "That's what my Imperial Majesty meant, that's why he sent me as an envoy to Dajin Kingdom." ”
"Hey!" Dolgon sighed, "It's a pity that those soldiers on the front line, Mr. Huang, have you suffered heavy casualties?" ”
Huang Xiaofu shook his head lightly: "Our casualties are not big, but Mang Gurtai is miserable, and the whole Zhenglan Banner ...... Hey, don't you know? ”
Dolgon was secretly surprised, he began to suspect that Mang Gurtai's military report was fake, could it be that Mang Gurtai really had such courage?
"Of course we know, since it's a war, how can there be immortals?"
"That is, we also have some casualties, so my Majesty hopes that the two countries can truce their troops, and if our two countries can reach a peace treaty, it will also save the soldiers from the pain of casualties." Huang Xiaofu said while looking at the dancers on the field, and by the way, he also eliminated a large piece of sauced beef.
"But, Mr. Huang, these demands made by your majesty obviously do not have the sincerity of the peace talks, if we really return to Hetuala, then the Dajin Kingdom is still a country?" Huang Taiji said faintly, his voice was subdued and abrupt, and it was easy to be assimilated by singing and dancing.
"My Imperial Majesty said clearly, at least ......" Huang Xiaofu was startled, he immediately stopped talking, and his eyes were withdrawn from the dancer's body. He smiled apologetically at Dolgon, "Lord Belle, watch the song and dance first, this topic of peace talks will be discussed another day." ”
"Watch the song and dance first, watch the song and dance first, what Mr. Huang said is that I care too much about the peace between Dajin and Daming." Dolgon smiled slyly, "I was fascinated by singing and dancing, and I was inspired by it, so I asked this question, Mr. Huang doesn't have to care too much." ”
"Where, where, I can completely see that Lord Belle is a person who sincerely hopes for peace between the two countries, and we will become true friends sooner or later." Huang Xiaofu arched his hand and gave a Han courtesy.
At the end of the song, Dorgon had no intention of stopping.
The leading singer, change the song again, and the dancers behind her will dance to her singing.
Huang Xiaofu basically ignored the delicious big meat on the table, and even the Dorgon brothers were left to dry.
He was completely immersed in the song and dance, or rather, his mind was already immersed in the butterfly green dancer.
Dorgon sneered.
At the end of the song, Dolgon's interpreter whispered a few words to the dancers, and the butterfly green dancer immediately blushed when she heard the voice, and she walked out of the crowd with her head down.
She walked quickly to Huang Xiaofu's side, filled Huang Xiaofu's cup with a glass of mare's milk wine, and then knelt down on one leg, raising the wine bottle above her head with both hands, and didn't know what to say in her mouth.
Before Qiu Zhen could translate, Dolgon laughed: "Mr. Huang, this cup of love wine from our Dajin Kingdom, I'm afraid you can't shirk it." ”
At this time, Qiu Zhencai translated her words: "This cup of mare's milk wine, together with the little woman's qiē, is offered to the most distinguished guest. ”
Huang Xiaofu hesitated for a moment, he looked at Dolgon: "This...... Not suitable, right? ”
Dolgon laughed again: "It's not the first time that Mr. Huang has been on a mission to another country, is it?" Do as the locals do, and you don't want to live up to the good words of the beauties. ”
Huang Xiaofu saw that he couldn't shirk it, so he had to take the mare's milk wine, and the woman still knelt still, and there was a kind of loneliness in her eyes.
Huang Xiaofu held his breath, suddenly raised his neck, and drank a full glass of mare's milk wine.
The woman smiled on her back, and the two charming dimples aroused a certain nerve in Huang Xiaofu even more.
Dolgon and Duoduo both laughed: "Mr. Huang, this is a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade!" ”
The butterfly green woman kept kneeling, until Huang Xiaofu drank the mare's milk wine in the cup, she stood up, bent her body into a right angle with her hands into fists, saluted Huang Xiaofu, and then filled Huang Xiaofu with mare's milk wine, then turned around and returned to the group of dancers.
When she was halfway there, she looked back and glanced at Huang Xiaofu.
It's another song and dance that Huang Xiaofu can't understand or understand, the firewood on the table has been extinguished, and the dishes have long been cold.
Dolgon hugged his fist to Huang Xiaofu: "Mr. Huang, the wine and food are cold, but the beauty's heart is hot, Mr. should go back and rest early!" ”
“……”
With a wave of Dolgon's hand, the singers and dancers all withdrew, except for the butterfly-green dancer, who roamed around the room.
Huang Xiaofu was not very drunk, but his eyes were already drunk, and he looked at the woman from time to time.
Dolgon spoke to the butterfly-green woman: "Mr. Huang is the most precious guest of my Dajin Kingdom, and I will serve Mr. Huang well tonight." ”
"Yes, Lord Belle." The butterfly-green woman saluted Dolgon and Duoduo before walking to Huang Xiaofu's seat.
She picked up Huang Xiaofu, Huang Xiaofu simply pretended to be drunk to the end, and he pressed most of his weight on the dancer's body.
Qiu Zhen followed behind them, watched them hug each other, and returned to the guest house where Huang Xiaofu went down the tower together.
