Chapter 55: Toast
Ding County Ling heard that the man was the husband of "Ha Mei".
There were all men here, and it didn't seem good to drive him away and leave him alone. So he reluctantly said:
"Add a chair over there."
In previous years, "Ha Mei" were all single women.
The women who can compete with the song and finally win the title of "Ha Mei" are all people who dare to speak and have an open temperament.
Xiaoshi only knows that "Ha Mei" has rewards and fame. But I don't know how this "fame" came about.
To put it bluntly, as long as "Ha Mei" can please everyone here, everyone will naturally give her face. If there is any more relationship in private, there will be face and money.
However, this year's "Ha Mei" is actually a married woman.
Even if you have a husband, you can even bring your husband with her.
It can only be said that Chen Xiao does not understand the "unspoken rules" here. They were all misled by the little stones, after all, he was still too young.
Gao Can looked at Chen Xiao thoughtfully, and then looked at her husband. I think she seems to have seen her husband somewhere.
Min Hong said to Chen Xiao: "Mrs. Chen, listen to Shopkeeper Li, your singing voice is very beautiful." We didn't go to the ring today, can Mrs. Chen sing a song for us now? ”
Fang Yu squinted at Min Hong. At the long table of more than 30 people, the county magistrate sat in the middle of the upper head, and Min Hong sat on the upper left side, indicating that this person's status was second only to the county magistrate. But it is also possible that his status is more noble than that of the county order. Because the prefectural commander is the master, he must sit in the middle, the left is noble, and the left is the top guest. This is the rule of the Xiling long table.
Chen Xiao didn't understand the rules of Xiling's long table, but he knew that if he sat on the top, he must be a person with status.
She picked up her wine glass, walked between Min Hong and Ding Xianling, smiled, and sang a toast song in Yi language.
"Su Mu Di Wei I, Qu Bo Ge Lasu, You and I Xiade Su, Mu Lagetebo, You Mu Xiajiele, Zhi Ji Bo Ge Da, Paper Miscellaneous I Mu Duo, Sera Luo I Su, Su You Su Da Duo, Su You Su Da Duo ......"
Everyone couldn't understand what she was singing, but her voice was crisp and tactful, tugging at the heartstrings like a bamboo leaf.
"What are you singing?" Ding Xianling was moved by her singing, and her words were gentle.
"Toast song. The little girl is late, please forgive me. ”
Chen Xiao held the wine glass and stood in front of Ding County.
She guessed that the person sitting in the middle should be the prefectural magistrate, but no one introduced her to her, and she couldn't figure out who was who.
But it doesn't matter, just respect the superior first.
"The little girl first came to Anxian County, and she was not very familiar with the county seat. The little girl drank this cup, adults, please feel free. ”
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he drank a glass of wine.
Ding Xianling wondered in his heart: Seeing that she is quite open, why did she bring her husband?
The woman did it, and Ding County Ling also dried his own wine.
"What do you mean by this song you just sang?" Min Hong asked. He didn't understand a word.
"I just sang in minority language, to the effect that friends from all over the world rarely get together, please have a glass of wine."
Chen Xiao asked the guy next to her to help her add wine, and then brought it to Min Hong:
"It's the first time we've met, so please take care of me in the future."
With that, she did it.
Min Hong asked, "Where are you from?" ”
Chen Xiaodao: "Xiling people. ”
The sitting Xiling people cast scrutinizing glances at her.
Chen Xiao added: "I am from Xiling Northern Black Mountain. ”
The Xiling people sitting in the seat seemed to understand, and someone asked, "You escaped from Montenegro a few years ago?" ”
Chen Xiao didn't understand why he said he was fleeing, but he had heard Fang Yu say that only 20,000 of the 300,000 troops in the Battle of Montenegro had returned, and there must have been a very tragic war in Montenegro back then. So he followed his words and said:
"yes, I came out three years ago."
The look on the man's face showed that he believed.
"Your father-in-law is also from Xiling?" Min Hong asked.
Chen Xiao looked at Fang Yu.
Fang Yu replied, "Yes." I am from Hexi. ”
Li Mingyu asked, "You grew up in Hexi?" ”
"Yes." Fang Yu nodded.
Li Mingyu said: "Speaking of which, you should be regarded as a native of Xia Guo. ”
More than ten years ago, Hexi was still the territory of the Xia State, and was later occupied by Xiling by force. It was because of this war that the Xia Kingdom closed itself off and no longer traded with Xiling.
The Xiling people who were sitting looked at Li Mingyu, there was no hostility in their eyes, but there was no good intentions either.
The state of Xia claims to be a great power, and the country is weak and powerless. The nobles of the Xia Kingdom would only be greedy for pleasure, and the court would be corrupt. The indiscriminate issuance of official silver bills by the Xia State raised the domestic prices, and the Xiling people traded with the Xia people, generally bartering, even if they were calculated according to the silver money, they only needed cash.
With the years of these years, South Vietnam has opened more and more places and fields to Xiling, and the silk of the original Xia Kingdom, they can grow mulberry and silkworms, spin and weave cloth in South Vietnam; Some of the craftsmen of the Xia Kingdom, through South Vietnam, they also dug up a lot of talents. Except for some things that are only unique to Xia Guo, Xiling is gradually not needing Xia Guo.
Ding County Ling saw that the businessmen of the two countries seemed to be estranged, and said to Chen Xiao and Nie Feng:
"What are you two singing in the ring today, we didn't hear it, ...... Nie Gongzi?" Meaning, can you sing it again now?
He asked Nie Feng in an inquiring tone.
Nie Feng threw a look at Chen Xiao and asked her with his eyes: Do you want to sing?
Chen Xiao said to Nie Feng: "Sing and guess the tune, you start first." ”
Nie Feng didn't know what "guess the tune" was, but let him get up first and know what he was going to sing.
"Little girl, let's guess for you......"
The two of them asked and answered, and sang.
Her voice is as clear as a drop of water, as graceful and sweet as a mountain warbler.
Fang Yu looked at the two of them with frowns, his expression condensed.
Gao Can's ears listened to the singing, but his eyes looked at Fang Yu.
Where does he seem to have seen it? Where the hell is it?
After the song was sung, the people sitting applauded.
Only the villagers will whistle, and there are rich businessmen with heads and faces, and they are civilized applause.
Min Hong smiled at Li Mingyu beside him: "What you said is really good." ”
He raised his glass and said to Chen Xiao: "The lady's song is as beautiful as the yellow warbler, I toast the lady." ”
Chen Xiao saw a frivolous smile on his face, and knew that he had bad intentions. Courtesy:
"Thank you!" Dried a glass of wine.
Chen Xiao asked the guy to add wine, and said to Li Mingyu, who was sitting next to Min Hong:
"It's the first time we've met, so please take care of me in the future."
The beauty toasted, and Li Mingyu responded politely and toasted with her.
Then Chen Xiao followed the table and toasted one by one, each of whom was "meeting for the first time, please take care of me in the future".
When she was at the bottom of the seat, he was more polite and welcoming.
"You are Mrs. Chen? I'm the owner of the Malaysian store, Yeo Seng Cheong. Thank you for the meat grinder in your store today. ”
"Oh, you are Boss Yang, disrespectful and disrespectful!"
"Come to our store another day, there are some things I want to ask Mrs. Chen for advice."
Little Stone went over to help and advocated for his owner. By the way, it was revealed that the owner was going to open a big restaurant and was looking for a shop. The god mysteriously said that the proprietress has a secret recipe, and she will definitely make a profit.
The Malaysian store is an inn, and there are also food and drinks in the store. Boss Yang saw that Chun Kee Snack House had such a good meat grinder, and he made it himself, and he was impressed by the owner of Chun Kee Snack Shop.
