Chapter 54: Chief Wanyan
Huo Jun stretched his brows, and waved his hand at the strong man again and again, he said, "You're welcome!
The strong man also waved again and again, and muttered a few words.
Neither of them could understand what was being said, and neither of them understood what anyone was saying. At the moment, he turned his head to Xiao Xuan.
Xiao Xuan said: "This person is the chief of the Wanyan Department of the Jurchen clan. Then he pointed to the naughty little boy and said, "This is his son, whose name is Agushu." I told them we were going to Chenzhou and got lost, and Wu Guyi invited us to visit his residence. ”
Sure enough, Wu Gu Yi pointed to the tip of his nose with his eldest mother finger, and said, "Wu Gu Er!" and pointed at Huo Jun with his eldest mother finger, Huo Jun understood what he meant, and patted his chest and said, "Huo Jun!"
Wu Gu said: "Han?" looked at Xiao Xuan again and asked: "You, Khitan, he is Han, how can you two be together?"
Xiao Xuan first translated Wu Guyi's question to Huo Jun, and asked Huo Jun: "If you tell me how to answer him, I will answer him as I do." ”
Huo Jun nodded secretly, Xiao Xuan was afraid that she would suspect that she had hooked up with this Jurchen, and then sold herself.
Huo Jun said: "You can do it, I trust you!"
In the middle of the conversation, it was getting dark. Huo Jun and Xiao Xuan followed the two towards their chieftain.
The strong man and the boy dragged two wolves respectively, walking on the thick snow, but they looked extremely brisk. The two of them are very familiar with the terrain of this area, although they will not get lost in the dark snow.
The four of them turned around the two mountain passes, and saw hundreds of animal skin tents set up in black pressure on the southeast slope. The black bone whistled, and someone in the tent greeted him.
Huo Jun followed the father and son of Wu Guyi and approached, only to see that there was a fire in front of each tent, and some of the fires were surrounded by women, chatting and doing some needlework, and they talked happily.
There were a lot of animal skins hanging outside each camp, and some small muntjac deer and golden pheasants that had not been slaughtered were kept in captivity.
When the Jurchen people saw the black bones, they all came up to say hello, and the black bones also nodded enthusiastically to them, and some children came forward to touch their little faces and pat their shoulders.
Wu Guyi introduced Huo Jun and the others to the Jurchen people, who were very hospitable, warmly took Huo Jun and Xiao Xuan's hands and asked for warmth, and let the two of them into their tents.
Xiao Sui said a few kind words to them, and the Jurchen people showed even more affection when they saw that Xiao Sui actually knew their Jurchen language. And Huo Jun only knew how to smirk to respond to the enthusiasm of the clansmen.
A few women had already taken down the wolf carcasses from the hands of the black bones and Agushu, and brought them to the large iron pots set up with stones outside the tent, some women began to clean up the wolf corpses, and some began to light firewood.
In a few moments, the wood was crackling, and the water in the large iron pot was already steaming white.
Several men took the hunting forks and bows and arrows from the hands of the black bone and Agushu. Agushu's face was flushed, and he excitedly talked about the hunting with his father this time, and danced about Huo Jun's sword and killing the wolf.
Everyone gathered in front of Huo Jun and Xiao Xuan, stretched out their hands and raised their thumbs, and couldn't stop praising them.
Wu Gu invited everyone to his tent to talk to each other, and a few older people with status in the clan followed Wu Gu and his son into the largest tent with Huo Jun and the two of them.
The owners of the tents had already brought in some dried fruits, ripe meats, and fine wine. There was a table full of tables, and under the tables was a carpet made of tiger skins. Everyone sat around the table.
The water in the big iron pot outside had boiled, and the women who were quick with their hands and feet had already cleaned up the wolf meat, cut it into large pieces and put it in the pot, and the four wolves used four large pots. The women poured salt and other condiments into each pot, and the aroma of food began to fill the air.
Wu Gu and Agu Shu were the grandfathers and uncles of Wanyan Aguta, the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty. The black bone was later honored as Jingzu. At the time when he finished serving as the chief of the Yan Department, the Jurchens became drunk, and Shizu and Libu, who were the fathers of Aguta, once rode a donkey after being drunk, but now He Libu has not been born.
They drank wine in a bold way, not using glasses, but sharing a barrel, and everyone scooped up the wine in turn. At this moment, there is a small wooden barrel in front of each person on the table, and the barrel contains spicy red sorghum.
The Jurchens and Han Chinese were different from them, drinking directly from wooden barrels, and they did not pour wine from each other. Just each of them raised the barrel to persuade him to drink, and then he drank proudly.
This is exactly the right for Huo Jun's spleen, he likes to drink happily when he drinks, and he doesn't like those mundane etiquette.
The curtain opened, and four women came in with four pots of fragrant wolf meat. The aroma of wolf meat immediately made Huo Jun salivate. The wolf meat was put on the table, and he picked up a piece and chewed it. The Jurchens at the table did not give in to each other like the Han banquets.
They each eat their own meat, just eat and drink while talking and laughing with each other. Huo Jun saw that Xiao Sui was reluctant to move his chopsticks, and knew that she was a girl's family, after all, she was a little reserved, so she filled the empty bowl in front of Xiao Sui with food.
Huo Jun's lips did not stick to wine for half a month, and at this time, the Jurchen people took out barrels of wine and barrels of wine, and Huo Jun drank barrels and barrels, and his will was hearty.
The sorghum wine brewed by the Jurchens is spicy in the mouth, and the taste of the wine is extremely bad, but the temperament is violent, and Huo Jun drank more than ten barrels but his face still did not change.
The Jurchens are led by Wu Guyi, who are all good drinkers, and think that the wine is grandiose and really good, but at this time, everyone at the table is already red, and everyone is in awe when they see Huo Jun as usual.
Until the third watch, the banquet dispersed. Wu Guyi gave his tent to Huo Jun and the two. Huo Jun didn't understand what it meant.
When everyone was scattered, and only he and Xiao Yu were left in the account, Huo Jun asked, "What did you and Wu Gu Yi say, why did you arrange a camp for the two of us?"
Xiao Sui said: "I said that I am your daughter-in-law who has never passed through the door!
Huo Jun's eyes suddenly lit up, and his face turned red with excitement. I drank so much wine just now, and I haven't changed my color.
Xiao Xuandai frowned slightly, looked Huo Jun up and down, and said, "What are you happy about? Could it be that you are serious? This is all fake!, you just sleep here, I'll go to the inner room." ”
After speaking, Xiao Xuan glared at Huo Jun, turned around and walked into the inner room covered with a curtain.
The tent was very spacious, with a curtain partition and several inner chambers. Huo Jun watched Xiao Xuan's back disappear in a flash, and his excited expression froze there.
In the middle of the night, there was a 'snap', and Huo Jun slapped himself hard. He said to himself: "Huo Jun, Huo Jun, you are still the master of the big village under the general jurisdiction of the fifty villages in Hedong, even if you live to be twenty-five years old, no little girl can look up to you, today someone suddenly made up nonsense and said that it was your daughter-in-law, you don't have to be happy like this!"
