The moonlight is like water, and the sky is full of stars. And under this dark blue dome, around the high Ao Bao, the joyful crowd held hands and circled clockwise three times, silently making a wish, praying for God's blessing and blessing the whole family for a year of peace.

Afterwards, they lit a blazing bonfire, sat around the fire, poured strong wine, and enjoyed the song and dance performances. There is no distinction between spectators and actors, everyone has to take turns on the stage. At the end of the performance, everyone applauded warmly.

Zhu Youzhen and Li Chongyao also sat in the crowd, participating in this annual feast on the grassland with great interest.

"What did you just wish?" Li Chongyao leaned into Zhu Youzhen's ear and asked affectionately.

Zhu Youzhen only felt that Li Chongyao was blowing like an orchid, and immediately felt soft, and remembered the moving scene last night. He couldn't help but put his nose against Li Chongyao's face, sniffed deeply, and sucked the faint girl's body fragrance into his lungs.

"Don't be serious! There are so many people here! Li Chongyao was immediately embarrassed, and pushed Zhu Youzhen away with a smile, "When people ask you, why don't you answer?" ”

Zhu Youzhen was still greedily admiring Li Chongyao's blushing face, and was stunned for a long time before saying, "Ask me what I wished?" I hope that the world is peaceful and there will be no more wars in the future! ”

"Your wish is too great! You can't be too greedy! Li Chongyao put her arms around Zhu Youzhen, leaned her head on him, and said happily, "The wish I made is much simpler, I just want to arrive in Xi'an safely with you, and meet Sister Rui'er soon!" And she has to like me too, and she can't kick me out! ”

"Your wish will definitely come true!" Zhu Youzhen said movingly, "At that time, we..."

"Ah, when I made a wish just now, I forgot about Sister Meifeng!" Li Chongyao suddenly knocked on his forehead in annoyance, "I'm so selfish, how can I forget her!" No, I'm going to go over and make a new promise! You sit here and wait, don't run around, don't peek at other girls! With that, he hurried away.

When Zhu Youzhen was crying and laughing, Battle stood up from the crowd and shouted: "Everyone be quiet, the Bailing on the Horqin grassland below, Borzigit?" Bumu Butai performed! ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Da Yu'er walked into the arena one by one, and everyone immediately responded with a round of warm applause.

Da Yu'er smiled at the audience, and nodded at the old man who accompanied her. The old man immediately played the horse-head piano, and with the melodious and weeping sound of the piano, Da Yu'er picked up a bowl of steaming milk tea, lightly put it on her head, and began to dance.

Zhu Youzhen knew that this was the famous Mongolian bowl dance, and hurriedly watched it. I saw Da Yu'er dancing slowly with the music, her movements were dignified and demure, and her posture was elegant and graceful. On top of her waterfall-like black braids, the white tea bowl floated steadily with Da Yu'er's figure, and the milk tea in the bowl only shook gently, but not a drop could be spilled.

Da Yu'er saw that the audience was watching with bated breath, and a charming smile appeared on her face, but she sang loudly, sang and danced, and sang the song "Sixty Beauties" again with a sweet voice.

After the song was sung, the audience was silent for a moment before thunderous applause and cheers erupted! Battle, in particular, applauded and looked around the crowd triumphantly, as if Da Yu'er belonged to him.

Da Yu'er stretched her arms lightly, took the tea bowl above her head, walked to Zhu Youzhen's eyes, and respectfully handed him the tea bowl and said, "Distinguished guest, please drink this cup!" ”

Everyone was in an uproar and looked at Zhu Youzhen in amazement.

In fact, according to the customs of the Mongolian people, it is a common ritual for a girl to offer tea to the guests after dancing the top bowl dance. However, the order of the tea ceremony must be offered to the most honorable patriarch first, followed by the elderly, and then to the guests who come from afar. If you don't follow this order, it means that the first person to accept the girl's tea ceremony is the girl's sweetheart.

As the eldest son of Zarut Taiji, Nabaatl is brave and aggressive, and he is deeply supported by his subordinates, and it is only a matter of time before he succeeds Taiji in the future. The Zalut Department and the Horqin Department have been in good relationship for many years, and Battle has known Da Yu'er for a long time. He coveted Da Yu'er's beauty, and he had long regarded her as his future wife.

He also thought that after Da Yu'er finished singing, he would definitely dedicate milk tea to himself. But Da Yu'er didn't even pay attention to herself, but she directly offered the tea to the Han man who came with her, and couldn't help but be furious.

But Battle has always been cunning and scheming. He knew that if he forcibly stopped it, he would offend Da Yu'er, and secondly, it would cause everyone's laughter.

So he rolled his eyes, got up and laughed: "This Han friend, do you know the rules of our Mongolians, this cup of tea is not something that can be drunk casually." You also have to sing a song to thank Da Yu'er and let everyone judge. If you sing well, you can drink this cup of milk tea. If you can't sing well, then you are not qualified to drink! ”

In fact, the Mongols didn't have this kind of rule at all, and Batel just deliberately made things difficult for Zhu Youzhen. But he has the highest status here, and he is surrounded by his subordinates, and everyone understands his thoughts, and they also coax one after another: "Yes! Sing, you can only drink if you sing well, and if you can't sing, you can go cool! ”

Zhu Youzhen suddenly felt very embarrassed, and before he could speak, Da Yu'er frowned angrily, glared at Battle and said, "Do you Zalut people treat guests from afar like this?" I don't care about your rules, I want him to drink this cup of tea! ”

But everyone shouted in unison, "No! If you don't sing, you won't be allowed to drink! Battle also shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands at Da Yu'er, making an innocent expression, meaning that this was everyone's request.

Da Yu'er was still arguing, but Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "Since everyone asks, sing one!" But I need two people to sing this song, and it's not interesting to sing it alone. ”

"I'll sing with you!" Da Yu'er said happily, "Are you singing the song "Wrangler" you sang this morning?" ”

Zhu Youzhen said: "This time, let's change the song, and I'll teach you to sing first." ”

As he spoke, he pulled Da Yu'er aside and hummed a song to her softly.

After hearing this, Da Yu'er's eyes sparkled with joy and said: "This song must have been written by us Mongolians!" Where did you hear that, and how come I never heard of it? ”

Zhu Youzhen scratched his head and said: "I only know that the name of this song is "Ao Bao Meeting", and I heard a singer named Daolang sing it in the past. But he also heard it from elsewhere, and I don't know who did it. ”

"Hey! If you can't sing or not, if you can't sing, I'm going to snatch this cup of tea! Battle shouted impatiently as he waited.

Da Yu'er glanced at him contemptuously, and said with a sarcastic smile: "Listen up! As he spoke, he took Zhu Youzhen's hand and walked to the center of the field.

Although Zhu Youzhen also liked to hum a pop song in his previous life, he was a microphone in karaoke or something, but he had never sung it in public. Seeing everyone staring at him in unison, he suddenly felt nervous. As soon as the horse-head qin sounded, his lips involuntarily began to tremble, and even his legs trembled.

When everyone saw this, they laughed again. Da Yu'er held Zhu Youzhen's hand tightly, and said with an encouraging smile to him: "Don't be nervous, you will definitely be able to sing well!" ”

This smile was so warm that Zhu Youzhen immediately relaxed and sang loudly: "The fifteenth moon has risen into the sky, why are there no clouds next to it?"

I'm waiting for the beautiful girl, why haven't you come yet~"

At first, everyone thought that this Han man couldn't sing at all, but when they listened to this song, although the words were simple, it was sincere, and the tune was also beautiful and abnormal, it was a typical grassland charm, and they were all shocked to open their mouths.

Da Yu'er looked at everyone proudly, smiled and sang: "If there is no rain in the sky, the begonia flowers will not bloom by themselves; As long as you wait patiently, brother, your sweetheart will come to you~"

The two sang perfectly, especially Da Yuer's high-pitched female voice, which echoed on the vast grassland for a long time, making people feel heartbeat.

As soon as the song was sung, all the Mongols, including Battle, were dumbfounded. After a while, I don't know who suddenly shouted: "Okay! Sing so well! ”

The venue suddenly resounded with heartfelt applause, applause and cheers! Unable to care about Battle's feelings any longer, these Mongols were full of praise for the song and shouted in unison: "Drink tea!" Drink tea! Drink tea!!! ”

In the cheers of everyone, Da Yuer picked up the tea bowl with both hands and sent it to Zhu Youzhen's mouth. Zhu Youzhen was just about to take it, but Da Yu'er shook his head with a smile, signaling that he only needed to open his mouth, and he actually wanted to feed him tea with his own hands!

Zhu Youzhen's face was full of embarrassment, but everyone shouted unrelentingly: "Drink it!" Drink it down! ”

Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to open his mouth and let Da Yu'er gently send the fragrant milk tea into his mouth and drink it all.

Everyone applauded again, and Da Yu'er also looked at Zhu Youzhen sweetly, and a trace of blush climbed up to her face unconsciously!

"Humph!" Zhu Youzhen suddenly heard that there was someone behind him who was coquettish, and when he looked back, it was Li Chongyao who had returned without knowing when, and was staring at him and Da Yu'er with a smile!

"You're back..."Zhu Youzhen said embarrassedly.

"Why do you always sing with her!" Li Chongyao muttered dissatisfiedly, "Can't you sing to me?" ”

Seeing this, Battle immediately came to his senses, and sneered loudly: "I said this Han friend, since you already have this beautiful girl to accompany you, why do you still want to slap our big jade?" Do you want to empathize with other lovers? ”

Everyone was coaxing again, and Li Chongyao's face sank.

Seeing this, Da Yu'er hurriedly took Li Chongyao's hand and said affectionately: "Sister, don't be angry, I just think he sings well, so borrow it for the time being!" He will always be yours and will be returned to you now! ”

As she spoke, she took Zhu Youzhen's hand, stuffed it into Li Chongyao's hand, clapped her hands and laughed: "Okay, the thing will be returned to its original owner!" ”

In the laughter of everyone, Li Chongyao also lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly, but involuntarily squeezed Zhu Youzhen's hand tighter!
