Chapter 247: The Banquet of the Wanyan Ministry

Zhao Yan asked Su Shi to tidy up his appearance, and then called the shy Yelusi, and the three of them came to the tent where the impeachment bowl lived, because the other party was the leader of the entire tribe, so there were still some privileges, for example, the tent where the impeachment bowl lived was the largest in the entire tribe, and any important things in the tribe were usually discussed with him.

At that moment, Zhao Yan took Su Shi and Yelusi into the tent, only to see a fire rising in the middle of the big tent, on which a suckling pig was roasting, and on the left side sat three Jurchen men, among which the big banya impeacher was sitting in the front, and the remaining two men were estimated to be the brothers of the impeachment bowl.

When he saw Zhao Yan and them coming in, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile: "The king of the county, please take a seat, the wine and meat are ready, just waiting for you to take the table!" ”

"Haha, thank you Wanyan for your hospitality!" Zhao Yan also laughed and said, and then Su Shi and Yelusi sat down together in the three positions on the right, and waited until Zhao Yan and they sat down, there were some coarse porcelain bowls on the simple log long table in front of them, and there were some mountain dishes in the bowls, mainly all kinds of meat, in addition to some mushrooms and other things, and the cooking technique was also very simple, except for roasting or boiling, it was estimated that the taste was not very good.

Seeing Zhao Yan sitting down, the impeachment bowl immediately announced the opening of the banquet, they Jurchen did not have so many rules, and they usually get together to eat whoever eats, but this time it is to show respect for Zhao Yan, so they have been waiting until now, and although these dishes are nothing in Zhao Yan's eyes, they are for the impeachment of Libo and others. But they are all rare and delicious, so after the banquet, Zhao Yan saw that the three of them immediately munched on each other's big plates, and they didn't have time to speak.

The officials of the Great Song Dynasty like to talk about things at the banquet, eating is secondary, mainly talking about things, sometimes after a meal, although the matter is negotiated, but not much at all, after going back, you have to make up for another meal. Compared with. There are too many Jurchens to impeach Libo. Please eat is to eat, and even the leader of the impeachment bowl only cares about bowing his head and eating violently, not to mention the big panya on the other side.

Following the local customs, Zhao Yan and the three of them were also a little hungry. So he didn't speak. I wanted to pick up chopsticks and eat something. But now they don't prepare chopsticks at all, and each person only has a knife in front of them to cut meat and eat, and then look at Da Banya and the others opposite. They are all eaten directly by tearing the meat by hand, and it is estimated that they don't know that there is such a thing as chopsticks in this world.

Seeing this, Zhao Yan and they were also a little helpless, so they had to cut the meat with a knife and eat the vegetables with their hands, although the cooking techniques of these dishes are very simple, but the ingredients are relatively fresh, plus Zhao Yan They have not been able to eat a good meal during this time, so they also eat very sweet.

At the end of the meal, the suckling pig on the fire is almost roasted, this is the most precious dish at the banquet, because Wanyanbu is good at raising pigs, and a piglet can grow into a big fat pig in the future, so if it is not for a particularly heavy festival, or when a particularly important guest, Wanyanbu is not willing to make this roast suckling pig at all.

I saw that the impeachment bowl clapped his hands, and then saw a young woman come out from behind the tent, this woman is different from the Jurchen women that Zhao Yan has seen before, although the figure is stronger than that of Han women, but she also looks quite slender and well-proportioned, and her appearance is also very beautiful, even if it is placed among the Han and Khitan people, she is also a beauty. Moreover, this woman is wearing sackcloth, which is very rare among the Jurchens, so it can be seen that this woman's identity is not ordinary.

I saw this beautiful woman take down the suckling pig from the fire and put it in a large wooden plate, and began to divide the suckling pig with a short knife. At this time, the impeachment bowl pointed to the woman and introduced with a smile: "King Jun, this is my wife who is lazy and has already helped me give birth to two sons!" ”

As soon as the words of the impeachment bowl fell, Su Shi next to Zhao Yan squirted out a mouthful of food that had just been eaten in his mouth, causing Zhao Yan and the impeachment bowl to turn their heads to look at him, only to see Su Shi say with embarrassment: "I'm sorry, this official is rude." ”

"Hehe, Deputy Envoy Su is polite, the next roast suckling pig is a famous dish of our Wanyan Department, the county king and Deputy Envoy Su must taste it!" Impeachment Libo didn't care too much about Su Shi's gaffe, but smiled and recommended the next roast suckling pig to them.

It's just that Zhao Yan looked at Su Shi at this time, and then looked at the woman who was dividing the suckling pig and was lazy, and glanced at Yelusi at the moment, and then showed a meaningful smile, it seems that they guessed correctly, the woman who went to Su Shi's tent before should be the wife of this impeachment bowl.

Su Shi didn't know that the Jurchens still had the custom of letting their wives sleep, and when they saw the laziness before, they thought that the other party was the maid or concubine of the impeachment of the bowl, but he never expected that the other party was the wife of the impeachment of the bowl, which made him shocked and afraid, worried that if the impeachment of the bowl knew about it, he would directly kill him and Zhao Yan in anger, after all, he could put a big green hat on the other party.

It was precisely because of the above that Su Shi was very worried, and even wanted to hint to Zhao Yan several times, hoping that he could find an excuse to come out, and then tell him about it, but unfortunately Zhao Yan deliberately turned a blind eye, and finally let Su Shi's anxious cold sweat come down.

Yelusi next to her saw Su Shi's anxious appearance, she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, she was very hard, but she also felt very relieved, Su Shi's movements before made her and Zhao Yan so wolf, and now let Su Shi suffer a little, which can be regarded as revenge for the previous incident.

Lazy divided the suckling pig into seven pieces, and gave the first half of the fat to Zhao Yan and the three of them, and gave them personally, but when he gave Su Shi his share of the roast suckling pig, Su Shi lowered his head weakly, and the cold sweat couldn't stop flowing down, fortunately, there was only one fire in the tent, and the light was very blurry, and the impeachment bowl and others did not notice his abnormality.

After Zhao Yan and the others tasted this roast suckling pig, the first half of this banquet was finally over, only to see that at this time, the impeachment bowl said to Zhao Yan: "King of the county, during this time, I will gather the leaders of various tribes to come to discuss the matter, as long as most of the people have no objections, then we can discuss the assistance of the Great Song Dynasty to our Wanyan Department." ”

Although Zhao Yan knew that the impeachment was talking nonsense with his eyes open, Zhao Yan still showed a sincere expression and said: "This is the best, I have already discussed with my eldest brother about aiding the Jurchens, and he is very much in favor of this, as long as the leaders of your ministry have no objections, then we can send the agreed terms of assistance to Tokyo for my father to see, presumably with my father's wisdom, he will definitely agree to this matter!" ”

"Haha, although the king of the county can rest assured, our Wanyan Department does need the assistance of the Great Song Dynasty, presumably most people will not object, but this matter is related to the life and death of our Wanyan Department, so each leader may be very cautious, and it will also take a while for them to consider, so the county king should live in our Wanyan Department with peace of mind during this time, if there is any request, even if it is lazy to ask my wife, she will try to satisfy the county king's request." At the end of his speech, he pointed to the lazy way standing beside him.

"Thank you Yan Ling, then we will wait for the good news of Yan Ministry!" Zhao Yan also smiled and said, as if he really didn't mind living in Wanyan at all, but at this time, Zhao Yan scolded the impeachment bowl in his heart, with this attitude of Wanyan, not to mention that he didn't plan to help Wanyan at all, even if he wanted to help the other party before, I am afraid that he would give up completely at this time, after all, he was a county king, but now he is under house arrest by the other party, this is definitely an insult to Zhao Yan, it is ridiculous to impeach these fools who think that the Great Song Dynasty has to help them in order to contain the Liao State, It's a pity that they are too self-conscious.

By the time the reception banquet ended, it was already nearly three watches, and after Zhao Yan and the three of them said goodbye to the impeachment bowl, they returned to their tents, but Su Shi was very uneasy along the way, and as soon as he returned to his residence, Su Shi immediately pulled Zhao Yan to his tent and said: "King of the county, I'm in a big trouble!" ”

"What catastrophe?" Zhao Yanqiang held back a smile and asked knowingly.

"I ...... I ......" Su Shi looked embarrassed and regretful at this time, "I" was embarrassed to say it for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Xia Guan's crime deserves death, the woman who was happy with me before turned out to be the wife of the impeachment of Li Bo for being lazy, I don't know why she got into my tent, now the big mistake has been made, in case the impeachment of Libo knows about this matter, the life or death of Xia Guan is not important, I am afraid that in case the king of the county is implicated!" ”

When Su Shi said the end, he also showed a look of shame on his face, but Zhao Yan laughed when he heard this: "Brother Zizhan is really good, not only does he have a personal relationship with Queen Xiao of the Liao Kingdom, but now he has come to Wanyan and has a skin-to-skin relationship with the wife of the other party's leader, which really makes this king feel envious!" ”

Seeing that Zhao Yan not only did not blame him after hearing this, but also joked with himself, which made Su Shi feel a little inexplicable while being anxious, and even suspected that Zhao Yan was not crazy, and he didn't seem to care about such a strict matter?

After Zhao Yan laughed enough, he finally felt that the punishment for Su Shi was enough, and immediately talked about the customs and habits of the Jurchens, but after Su Shi listened, he also showed an incredible expression, he never thought that there was still a custom of using his wife to serve guests in this world?

"Okay, if that lazy person comes back tonight, Brother Zizhan will enjoy it boldly, and the impeachment bowl will definitely not be angry because of this!" Zhao Yan finally patted Su Shi's shoulder, and then turned around to leave, but as soon as he walked to the door, he stopped and told Su Shi, "But Brother Zizhan, you have to take it easy, don't let the chief's wife scream too loudly, otherwise the princess and I won't be able to sleep."
