Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 138

At night, the grassland is still active, and the stone pot table is full of wood, and the fat sheep that has just been slaughtered is placed on it. After three days of eating, the staple food for the Turkic entertaining him is still roasted whole sheep. It is the highest-level food for the Turkic people, and it is also the etiquette for entertaining distinguished guests.

Wu Yanxiu took two sips, and then took another sip of the warm buttered tea that the old man in the village had polished for a long time to drive away the cold night.

With three or five guards, Man'er galloped forward again.

Wu Yanxiu walked over happily, and helped her get off the horse, "Didn't Man Er say to come back tomorrow?"

Man'er got off his horse and walked quickly to the fire, saying as he walked, "I miss you, and I still want to listen to the story."

He pointed at the lamb leg to the guy who was grilling, "Quick, give me a big piece of meat, I'm hungry."

Wu Yanxiu hurriedly moved her own plate from the dining table, "Come here without having dinner?"

Man'er cut off two pieces of mutton and put them in his mouth, "It's delicious."

Wu Yanxiu took the mutton from the roast lamb guy and carefully cut it into small pieces.

After eating meat and drinking milk, I was finally full.Man'er recovered from his hunger, "I didn't catch what you said."

Wu Yanxiu felt a little messed up in the wind, and she couldn't hear the voices of the people around her when she was eating.I remembered that the guards called her away to remind her to go to sacrifice, and eating is generally not allowed on such occasions. "Have you participated in the sacrifice so late?"

Man'er sighed, "Hey, the food that the priest ate was not cooked, but it still represents good fortune. I lost my appetite after eating it. Thinking of the delicacies you mentioned, it makes me feel better, so I came to see you. Here Too far."

Wu Yanxiu was a little distressed. The princess must have traveled a long way to find him. She didn't even bother to eat, so she hurriedly cut up a few pieces of mutton, and someone brought some spices and condiments from Dazhou, and put them in the mutton for her. Send it over.

Man'er watched him cut and stir, and the food smelled again, so he quickly picked up the knife and fork, and brought another piece of steaming mutton into his mouth.

After chewing several times, the taste is completely different from the previous ones. "It's delicious!" Man'er said impatiently.

Wu Yanxiu happily promised, "Tomorrow, I will ask the accompanying chef to give you more delicious food. When you arrive in Dazhou, there will be many delicious dishes waiting for you."

The Turkic youth, who had a few sips of wine at night, saw the princess eating for a while, and hurried over to invite her to dance.

Without saying a word, Man'er rushed into the crowd, dragging Wu Yanxiu who was next to him, and there was another burst of excitement.

Turkic dance looks very simple, but it takes a lot of effort to dance well.

Wu Yanxiu patiently asked Man'er for advice, but she laughed at her like a clumsy little bear.Wu Yanxiu was not angry, but said that the little bear would dance for Man'er in the future.

The bonfire warms everyone's body, and the ethnic barriers seem to be less obvious at this moment.

The wood in the fire was burnt out, and it was time to break up the banquet.

Wu Yanxiu volunteered to send Man'er back, "Princess Da Zhou always brings a hundred guards with her when she travels. Is it safe for you to bring just a few people?"

Man'er had a good time playing tonight, and the little bear next to him was very interesting, "The whole Turkic city belongs to my father, so I am naturally safe."

Wu Yanxiu asked very straightforwardly: "There are no thieves in Turkic, and no other people's influence. Do they all know you?"

Man'er looked at him strangely, and asked, "I don't know. There are many thieves in Dazhou, so can't they walk at night?"

Wu Yanxiu quickly denied, "No, no, most places in Dazhou are very peaceful, but some places are a bit chaotic." It is the land bordering Turks and Tubo, which is often attacked. Now Tubo is much more peaceful, and only I went to the Turkic border, I only hope that I can make a great contribution and return to Beijing.

Man'er rejected his offer, seeing that he was frail, sent him back and then came back, this was not good for Night Breeze.

That night, Wu Yanxiu slept soundly.

In the early morning of the next day, Wu Yanxiu finished washing and tidying herself up, and waited for Man'er to come to him.

There are still many things I haven’t communicated with her. The culture of Dazhou, the situation of sacrifices, and the marriage culture of Turks, some of which are of interest to her, and some of which he wants to know. Will her lively and cheerful personality get used to it?

Yesterday, I was called away by the guards without saying a few words during the day, and at night, I was tricked by Turkic youths to make jokes, and I was also obsessed with dancing. Today can't be like this.

After clearing his mind, Wu Yanxiu didn't go out today, but just stopped and went inside and outside the tent, occasionally asking, "Is Maner here?"

When it was time for breakfast, Man'er hadn't come yet, so Wu Yanxiu had no choice but to order someone to prepare breakfast.

The commoners of Dazhou and Turks eat two meals a day, but the nobles keep the habit of three to four meals a day.Eat less food for each meal and strive for delicacy, which is completely opposite to the common people's pursuit of food and clothing.

Breakfast is ready, Maner has arrived.

Wu Yanxiu teased her, "Man'er came just in time, because he smelled the aroma of breakfast, so did he rush over here?"

Man'er saw that his breakfast was extraordinarily rich, four small meat buns overflowing with juice, and twelve dishes of dim sum, but she only recognized three dishes of deep-fried purple potato glutinous rice snacks, black sesame walnut cakes, and mung bean cakes. Plump eggs, and a bowl of warm sweet potato porridge.

Ah.

Thinking that my breakfast is a rotation of wheat-flavored nude cakes, fried shortbread or noodles, two plates of barbecue, and milk mare's milk, it really is.

Monotonous.

I want to eat.

Seeing her greedy appearance, Wu Yanxiu hurriedly invited her to have breakfast together, "Man, come and taste, what do you like, I'll let someone make it."

After a while, Man'er tasted all the breakfast on Wu Yanxiu's table, it was really delicious.

Man'er thought about it carefully, and seriously commented, "I like to eat this, this, and this."

Wu Yanxiu wrote down one by one, "Will Man'er come to see me every day from now on?"

Man'er nodded happily, "Well, I want to eat delicious food."

These words made Wu Yanxiu burst into laughter, and the Turkic princess could be attracted by something delicious.

After breakfast, he quickly got down to business, "Princess followed me to Dazhou, if you want to come back that day, I will accompany you back."

Man'er didn't understand what he meant, "I want to come back by myself, you're walking too slowly, I'm faster by myself."

Sure enough, the customs of the Turks are different, at least the customs of the royal family are different.Wu Yanxiu: "Man, this is not the case in the Great Zhou Dynasty. If a woman marries a man, she must always be at the place where the man is. The two of them will always be together and will never be separated. The Turkic road is far away, and your father's status is extraordinary. , go home to visit relatives, there must be two people."

Man'er was puzzled, "So I want you to accompany me when I come back, otherwise I can only stay in Luoyang? That's not too boring. Then I might as well stay in Turkic, and when my father agrees, I will go to Luoyang to play with you .”

Wu Yanxiu was at a loss for a moment. I am afraid that with his status as a Turkic princess, he could only stay in the Luoyang mansion. "Didn't Man'er want to go to Dazhou to play? Didn't you promise to marry me, and we will go to all the famous mountains and rivers in Dazhou together?"

Man'er let out an uh, "Then what should I do if I miss Father Khan?"

Women always want to marry, even if Man'er doesn't understand this truth, Wu Yanxiu believes that Khan Mochuu understands it, so don't get too entangled with it.

Wu Yanxiu replied calmly: "Let's come back together."

Man'er didn't bother with these things, he didn't listen to the story last night.
