Chapter 177: Cai Wenji
Hu Chuquan showed his mind as a Xiongnu king at this moment, and Liu Bao relieved his previous suspicions and appointed him as the Xiongnu Zuoxian King again. Among the princes and princes of the Xiongnu, the title of King Zuo Xian has the highest status, and he is often regarded as the crown prince. This is also the reason why Yu Fuluo made Liu Bao the king of Zuoxian.
At this time, Hu Chuquan once again appointed Liu Bao as the king of Zuoxian, and his intention was obvious, after he abdicated, the Xiongnu Shan Yu's position was still Liu Bao's.
Liu Bao knelt down on his knees and thanked him: "Thank you Shan Yu, the minister must live up to his mission!"
All the kings also came forward to congratulate Liu Bao.
Since we have arrived at the gate of Liu Bao's house, Liu Bao invited all of us to go to the house as guests. The country initially decided, and Hu Chuquan also needed to have a relationship with the kings, so of course he agreed. It was getting late, and I was hungry after a day, so I entered the palace of Zuoxian with the kings. The family in the palace was originally holding knives and guns, but at this time, seeing that the uncle and nephew were reconciled together, they were also happy from the bottom of their hearts, and they ran east and west to arrange wine and food.
In a short time, the food and drinks were already served. The Huns had a very simple meal, putting a leg of mutton, beef, horse meat, etc., which was a sumptuous dinner. Of course, good wine is indispensable, this wine seems to be clear, but the internal force has a mare's milk flavor, and the end is full of aftertaste.
At this time, everything was calm, Hu Chuquan was naturally very happy, and said with a smile: "Virtuous nephew, I heard that there is a Yan family in your house, who is not only extremely beautiful, but also has a huqin in one hand, I wonder if you can please come out for us to feast our eyes?"
The Xiongnu nomads, although the aristocracy were also familiar with ritual music, did not have as many ritual restrictions as the Central Plains. Moreover, at that time, the social atmosphere was open, and it was not indispensable for women to come out and show their true colors.
Hearing Hu Chuquan's praise, Liu Bao was also very happy. At that moment, I ordered my subordinates to invite this Yan clan to come.
After a while, a woman came out of the back hall, holding a huqin, and she was generous. I saw that this woman was twenty-eight or nineteen years old, wearing Han costumes, her eyebrows were picturesque, and she was indescribably beautiful. The man stretched out his sleeves and stroked the strings, covering half of his jade cheeks.
The woman bowed slowly, her eyes were bright, and she and I touched her eyes, as if our whole body was immersed in warm water, and it was indescribably comfortable. Looking at everyone else, it suits me in general. There was silence in the hall for a while, and suddenly there was a loud bang, and the wine glass in someone's hand fell to the ground, and then there was a long and long sound, and another person's wine glass fell to the ground, as if it was playing music.
She smiled and was full of charm. 11
After a few sounds......, the woman's piano sounded for a while, and she sang in a low voice: "It is as white as snow on the mountain, and as bright as the moon among the clouds." Wen Jun has two intentions, so he decided to break up. Today's wine fight, Mingdan ditch head. On the ditch, the ditch water flows from east to west. Sad and miserable, there is no need to cry when you get married. I wish to have one heart, and the white head will not be separated. What is the curling bamboo pole, how can the fish tail be curled! The man is heavy-spirited, why use the money knife!"
Her singing voice is soft and her piano sound is agitated, and I am fascinated by it. I have heard this song, among which "I wish to have a heart, and the white head is not separated" is a famous sentence for the ages, written by Zhuo Wenjun, a talented woman in the Han Dynasty, this poem is a story about a woman who longs for love, and hopes that the man will be sincere and single-minded.
As soon as the song ended, Hu Chuquan took the lead in applauding, and everyone cheered loudly. Hu Chuquan said: "It is really a great relief to hear this beautiful music today. The virtuous nephew Jinwu Zangjiao is cheaper for us!"
Liu Bao said: "My Yan is a Han woman, named Cai Yan, she is erudite and proficient in music and rhythm, I am proficient in Han culture, in fact, I am also quite influenced by her. ”
I "chuckled" in my heart, recalling the words that Guo Jiayin instructed me when I went to the Huns that day. When I arrived in the Xiongnu, I was asked to find such a woman, she was Cai Yanzi Wenji. I was wondering to myself why she had become the Que clan of King Zuo Xian, but I heard Hu Chuquan ask, "Why did the Han woman become the Quan clan of the virtuous nephew?"
Liu Bao said: "This is also related to the war between the Xiongnu and the Central Plains a few years ago. At that time, my father, Yufu Luo, was the king of Zuoxian, and when he saw the emptiness of the northern part of the Central Plains court, he united with the Wuhuan Kingdom to attack thousands of miles, invaded Qingzhou and Youzhou in the Han court, and captured many women. It was at that time that Wen Ji was robbed to the Xiongnu. I found her among the slaves, and learned that she was the famous and talented Cai Yan, so I begged her from my father. The father said that it would not be difficult to release her, but there was one condition, that is, to marry her as a Yan. Later, I thought about it, in fact, my father was greedy for encroachment on the Central Plains and needed to be familiar with the culture of the Central Plains, so he deliberately kidnapped her, and had already intended to let her be my Yan's family. ”
Hu Chuquan nodded, "I see." ”
At this time, I only heard Cai Yan say: "The little girl has written a song and made a song for the princes." ”
After that, she adjusted the strings and sang: "I didn't do anything at the beginning of my life, and after I was born, Han Zuo declined." The heavens are unkind, and the earth is unkind, so I am at this time. The road is in danger, and the people are in exile and mourning together. The smoke and dust cover the wilderness, and the ambition is obedient and righteous. Who should I sue if I am not suitable for being endured and humiliated......?
The lyrics and songs are tactful and charming, but they talk about their own life experience, as well as the hardships and hardships when they first came to the Huns, and people can't help but feel sad and can't help but cry. I made up my mind: "I must find a way to rescue her and let her return to the Central Plains." ”
But he didn't show his face, just drank secretly.
After she sang this song, Ying Ying saluted, and everyone cheered again. Although these rude princes may not understand the meaning of the lyrics and songs, she has a beautiful voice and sings very well, coupled with the expression of feelings, but it also plucks people's heartstrings.
I sat next to Hu Chuquan, and Hu Chuquan said: "Brother Duan, my nephew and daughter-in-law are from the Central Plains, you can come to Zuoxian's Mansion more often these days, and you can also talk more about what you have seen and heard in the Central Plains, so as not to make her feel more sentimental." ”
I naturally obeyed my fate. It's just that as soon as this sentence came out, Cai Yan looked at me with a pair of wonderful eyes, which made me a little embarrassed.
Many of the kings did not know me, and Hu Chuquan gave me a detailed introduction to everyone, praising me for how benevolent and righteous and heroic, and I naturally humbled a few words. But it was Cai Yan, who looked at me differently. She sighed faintly and went back to the back hall.
I looked at her back and suddenly felt melancholy.
At that moment, there were warriors of the Huns who offered sword dances and wrestled and frolicked, and everyone kept applauding. People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and before they know it, it is late at night. Hu Chuquan and Liu Bao and others were already drunk unconscious, especially Liu Bao, who had already fallen asleep on the table.
I said goodbye to everyone, found the back door of Zuoxian's palace, looked at the left and right, and gently crossed the wall with light skills, but I didn't know which room Cai Yan lived in?...
