It's summer, and the Xihu grassland is green. The Hu people herd horses and sheep, and the cattle were all fat and strong. When the old Xihu king was still alive, he crossed the horse to fight on the battlefield and pocketed the surrounding nomadic groups, which led to the unification of Xihu today.
Last year, the old Xihu king died suddenly, and the whole clan was divided by several brothers, and finally if it wasn't for the old witch standing up and praying to the gods, and named Shi Zhang's name, I'm afraid that Xihu is still making trouble today......
Even so, there is still a force in Xihu that still does not recognize the identity of Shi Zhang, the king, and still refuses to pay homage.
************
It was still early today, so the people of Xihu got up early to slaughter cattle and cook sheep. The purpose is not side-by-side, just because the king Shi Zhang returned today.
Around the hour of the hour, a group of men and horses came from the border between the grassland and the sky, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves, the people looked eagerly, and when one of them came forward to report the news, they finally confirmed the person, and cheered to welcome the king.
In this group, there were two carriages, one carrying a witch doctor and the other a Han girl.
This Han girl is Wang Xianyu.
There was a cheer in his ears, and Wang Xianyu frowned a little uncomfortably. In recent days, Wang Xianyu often feels a little headache, the most unbearable noise, half of the day is closed eyes to recuperate, perhaps because of the daily rush.
After the team stopped, Shi Zhang, who was at the front to receive the bow, was now bright-eyed. There is a rare pride on the face. When Mu Kua helped Wang Xianyu to get off the horse, Wang Xianyu saw Lang Jun like this, his cheeks were red, and he lowered his head and smiled.
Shi Zhangyu saw Mu Kua helping Wang Xianyu get out of the car, jumped off the horse, stepped forward and brushed away Mu Kua's hands holding Wang Xianyu, turned to do it himself, and said softly: "Yuan'er is tired?" Would you like to wait for the witch doctor to rest for a while and ask him to take a look at it for you? ”
This voice was so affectionate that everyone present was stunned.
Mu Kua covered his mouth and snickered. It took a long time to clear his throat. introduced to the unknown person: "This girl is the princess of Linyuan of the Great Jin Dynasty, and I am in love with the king of Xihu, and now I am returning with us and choosing an auspicious day to get married." ”
Mu Kua said this in Hu language. Although Wang Xianyu didn't understand everything. But I can probably guess a few points. Therefore, he was a little ashamed, and glanced at Shi Zhang timidly.
Wang Xianyu is a beauty, although this tossing and turning all the way makes Wang Xianyu look sallow. But it is still better than others, so Wang Xianyu's glance made many people who secretly looked at it feel a little surprised.
Shi Zhang's heart was beating even more, and now he was secretly glad that he had invited the witch doctor to practice witchcraft in the first place, so that the person on the tip of Wang Xianyu's heart became himself.
Otherwise, how could he have been so favored by a girl?
The art of witchcraft has existed since ancient times, and some emperors avoided it like snakes and scorpions, while some ethnic groups made good use of it. Their clan has never shied away from witchcraft, which has been passed down to this day and is blessed by the gods.
"Go and rest first, it's going to be very lively tonight, it's a pity to miss it." Shi Zhang's voice became softer and softer, and his voice sounded in Wang Xianyu's ears, making Wang Xianyu even more ashamed.
Shi Zhang said, and Mu Kua on the side stepped forward to help Wang Xianyu again. This time, Shi Chang didn't brush Mu Kua's arms again, but said to Mu Kua: "Send the princess to rest." ”
Mu Kua bowed slightly, helping Wang Xianyu to guide her.
After the two disappeared in front of everyone, the outside became lively again.
The place where Wang Xianyu collapsed was a gorgeous round house. Hu people are good shepherds, and their residences are often for the main purpose of convenient movement. Wang Xianyu didn't know if the group she was staying in was going to move back and forth, but it was just like the other groups she saw sporadically when she came over.
It's just that the decoration here is much better than the round house he stayed in these days, and Wang Xianyu didn't even need to think much to know that this place must be related to Shi Zhang.
After the master and servant came in, Mu Kua explained with a smile: "This is the king's tent, and now the king has given this place to the princess, which has never happened before." ”
Wang Xianyu listened to Mu Kua's words, and a strange feeling rose in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, smiled his head, and asked instead: "Then where does the king live at night?" ”
Mu Kua smiled again, and replied, "It will depend on the bonfire in the evening, and whoever can come out on top will stay in the tent of that one." ”
Wang Xianyu's face froze, and she finally realized why she felt something was wrong just now. The Hu people are different from the Great Jin Dynasty, because of the efforts of their ancestors, now the Dajin girls, especially the nobles and others, have always been unconcealed from their husbands' monopolistic hearts, and gradually now Lang Jun and others in the land of Jinling are also used to this......
But the Hu people are different, in the past, my father and younger brother Wang Lu have said some different customs and habits from the Han people, and the Hu people are especially casual about them......
So...... Wang Xianyu couldn't help biting her lip, if this was the case, she didn't like it......
Thinking of this, Wang Xianyu himself was a little surprised. In the past, when she was only a concubine, she never dared to have such thoughts. Now it's really a different identity, so even jealousy is obvious.
Mu Kua on the side saw Wang Xianyu frowning, as if he understood something, and stepped forward with a smile, and said softly: "The princess doesn't like the king to be close to the girl next to him?" Without waiting for Wang Xianyu to answer, he said, "Why should the princess be angry? When the princess and the king are done, aren't all the girls in Xihu under your control? ”
Wang Xianyu glanced at Mu Kua, and the meaning in his eyes was unclear. Mu Kua's face stiffened, and he finally felt a little uncomfortable, so he diverted the topic and said, "The slave maid went to fetch water." He bowed and stepped back.
Wang Xianyu saw Mu Kua leaving, so he let go of his guard and couldn't help sighing. She has a lot of headaches these days, and she can't remember some things. Even so, Wang Xianyu also knew that her marriage alliance with King Xihu and the two at this time was wrong.
Although Shi Chang explained that she was exiled because she was robbed, she didn't believe it. How could she marry far away from her parents? Shi Zhang is the king of Xihu, and there is no room for negotiation to return to Jinling together.
Knowing this, how could she fall in love with Shi Zhang?
But she did have palpitations for Shi Zhang...... How can this be explained? There are too many contradictions.
Wang Xianyu thought about a few turns. Shi Zhang entered from outside, and when he saw Wang Xianyu sitting alone in a daze, he stepped forward with a chuckle and said, "Yuan'er is homesick?" Don't worry, on the day of your wedding, your relatives will definitely be able to come. ”
When Wang Xianyu heard this, his face was full of joy, and he secretly felt guilty in his heart. It was she who thought too much, since her relatives could come to congratulate, it can be seen that they are also happy to see it.
I don't remember something. Maybe this marriage alliance was originally asked for by me. My brother and his parents can't stand it, so that's what happened today! When my grandmother comes over, I have to ask carefully.
Also, where do those twists and turns come from. It's really not like me.
Wang Xianyu lowered his head and smiled. Said softly to Shi Zhang: "If you can come." That couldn't be better. ”
Shi Zhang also smiled and said, "You and I are married, it's not just a matter of you and me. Not to mention your parents. How could your brother let you marry celibaly? You two brothers and sisters are so affectionate......" After a pause, he said, "Besides, I can't bear to wronged you." ”
This last sentence Wang Xianyu was a little throbbing again, and at the same time, Wang Xianyu had a thought in her mind that kept coming: she really had a deep affection for this person, so ...... Is she throwing away her parents for ****?
How can you be so unfilial?
Wang Xianyu thought like this, his heart sank, and Fang Cai's joy faded a little.
Seeing Wang Xianyu like this, Shi Zhang thought that she couldn't stand the pain of the long journey, so he sighed and said: "You have a good rest, and if you have something, you will tell Mu Kua, I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you." ”
Wang Xianyu nodded, and after seeing Shi Zhang leave, his mood became dull. She hadn't thought so much about it before, so what's wrong?
Wang Xianyu fell asleep in extreme drowsiness, and when he woke up, the sun was faintly outlined on the horizon. From time to time, there was the smell of meat and the noise outside, and Wang Xianyu somehow felt abrupt.
Compared to her previous world, it was a lively place.
"The princess is awake? The slave and maid have already prepared their clothes, so please ask the princess to change them! Mu Kua heard Wang Xianyu wake up, smiled and picked up his clothes, and said to Wang Xianyu.
Wang Xianyu followed Mu Kua's movements and saw a Huren-style dress jumping in Wang Xianyu's eyes. Wang Xianyu didn't like it, but he didn't like it much.
After a pause, Wang Xianyu said, "Put it on for me!" ”
Mu Kua was originally a little apprehensive, but seeing that Wang Xianyu did not reprimand, he breathed a sigh of relief, and respectfully got up and walked to Wang Xianyu to freshen up and change her clothes.
I don't know how long it took, Wang Xianyu saw himself from the bronze mirror. Her hair is braided into small loose braids. There is no cumbersome skirt on the body, and it is replaced by a short beard suit that can set off the figure. The girl in the bronze mirror is dressed in green clothes, and the lining is more touching than the emaciated body of the Hu people.
With such a look of himself, I have to say that Wang Xianyu was also a little surprised.
Mu Kua saw that Wang Xianyu was a little stunned, and praised with a smile: "The princess's clothes are very good-looking, presumably the king must be happy to see the girl like this." ”
Only then did Wang Xianyu understand Mu Kua's intentions: before resting, Wang Xianyu was a little displeased that Shi Zhang had a warbler next to him at night, so Mu Kua found this dress, wanting Shi Zhang to see his "intentions" and reject other girls......
Wang Xianyu sighed secretly and said to Mu Kua from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you." ”
Mu Kua pursed his lips and smiled, and replied: "What did the princess say, it is the duty of the slave to solve problems for the princess." ”
*************
The dark curtain fell, but the grassland that should be quiet was very lively, Mu Kua opened the curtain for Wang Xianyu, and after the master and servant came out, Wang Xianyu saw the scene outside.
Not far away, the bonfire piled up with firewood is burning, and there are Hu people sitting around the bonfire. The crowd around the bonfire was full of people talking and talking, holding musical instruments, tuning and trying the piano, drinking wine and eating meat, and their postures were different.
The only thing they have in common is that they all have smiles on their faces, and their hearts are full of joy.
Wang Xianyu was also unconsciously infected with a smile, and took a step forward and said, "It's really lively." ”
Mu Kua responded: "The king has not come yet, and the song and dance have not yet begun, so it will be lively for a while." ”
Saying that, he made a gesture of invitation and said to Wang Xianyu: "While the song and dance have not started yet, the princess and her maid will first come forward to eat something to wrap their stomachs, and they will make trouble for a while, but I am afraid that there will be no time to eat." ”
It's already lively before it starts, and I don't know what the scene will be like in a while. Wang Xianyu unconsciously gave birth to expectations, and replied with his chin: "It's okay." ”
Mu Kua answered, escorted Wang Xianyu to the bonfire, cut a leg of mutton with a dagger and gave it to Wang Xianyu, "Princess, please use it." ”
Along the way, Wang Xianyu had long been accustomed to the Hu people's way of dining, and without the slightest hesitation, he took the leg of mutton handed by Mu Kua, took the food in one hand, and cut it with a dagger in the other hand and put it into his mouth.
Wang Xianyu's identity was known to everyone as early as noon, and she became the focus of everyone's attention as soon as she appeared. Now seeing the Han princess's sassy behavior, everyone is a little happy.
A more hospitable person personally brought wine up, and said in unskilled Chinese: "Distinguished guest, this is our own wine, how can we eat meat on the grassland without wine?" ”
Before Wang Xianyu could speak, Mu Kua on the side took it for Wang Xianyu, and said with a smile: "The princess hasn't eaten for a day, and she will get drunk if she drinks now, so let's wait for the princess to eat a few more bites." ”
Mu Kua said this with a little smile, although he rejected the kindness of the visitor, but it did not make people unhappy. The toaster laughed loudly, and even said that it was true, and then made a bow and withdrew.
I don't know if he was infected by the atmosphere or how, Wang Xianyu said to Mukua: "Wine!" ”
Mu Kua was stunned for a moment, paused, but did not refuse. Wang Xianyu took the wine, raised his head and drank it, and no longer bothered to cut the meat with a dagger, and gnawed it directly like a Hu person.
Although the girl's figure is thin, her bold spirit is not inferior to others, which makes the Hu people on the side feel even better, and they have stepped forward to toast.
Wang Xianyu was just doing it casually, and he didn't want Shi Zhang's people to be really hospitable, and when he saw that everyone stepped forward to toast, he was scared into a cold sweat.
Mu Kua on the side blocked again and again, but he was really invincible alone, and was finally drowned in the crowd.
Seeing that everyone surrounded Wang Xianyu in the center, a laugh came from behind everyone: "What are you doing here?" So lively? ”
Hearing the words, Wang Xianyu and Mu Kua both breathed a sigh of relief. It was not someone else who came, it was the king of this group of people-Shi Zhang.
Shi Zhang appeared, and everyone who came to toast bowed down and saluted, forgetting Wang Xianyu on the spot for a while.
After everyone had different opinions, Shi Zhang finally understood the reason, and said to Wang Xianyu from the crowd: "A-Yuan, come here." ”
Shi Zhang's voice was softer than before, Wang Xianyu followed the sound and looked over, only to see Shi Zhang's face with a little joy, and his eyes were even more scorching when he looked at Wang Xianyu......
Wang Xianyu was stunned for a moment, then understood the reason, and unconsciously blushed his cheeks.
This garment...... Shi Zhang, who really likes this dress.
Wang Xianyu didn't get up under shyness, but Shi Zhang called again: "Ah Yu, come here." ”
