After wearing the book, I spoiled the powerful minister

Chapter 356 Ankang Tribe
The mansion of Wanyan Sheng, the leader of the Ankang Tribe, is in the center of the city, occupying almost half a street, which shows its scale.

Wanyan Sheng waited at the gate with a large family. Chen Xiuyan and the others got out of the carriage one after another. For this house with red walls and green tiles, Chen Xiuyan's first feeling was that she had returned to Yijiang County. When I saw the Wang family mansion.

For the Tatars, this mansion is really magnificent, its scale is very similar to the Siheyuan of the State of Chu, there are also stone lions outside, the vermilion gate, and the style of the walls are also very similar, Chen Xiuyan inevitably took a few more glances.

"Chief Wanyan." Ge Shumu said hello to Wanyan Sheng and saluted.

From Ge Shumu's attitude towards Wanyan Sheng, it can be seen that the other party's status is higher than Ge Shumu's.

"General Ge Shu, welcome." Wanyan Sheng spoke in authentic Chu Guo official dialect, which was actually more for Chen Xiuyan and his party.

"Hello King Taiping, we haven't seen each other for many years. The last time we met was when you sent us the Tatar king to marry." Wanyan Sheng said with a smile.

"Marriage?" The corners of King Taiping's lips curled up, "At the beginning, the Tatar king sincerely proposed to marry him, and he gave almost half of Tatar's financial resources as a dowry. It won’t be long before the sons of the Tartar royal family will marry other countries.”

Wanyan Sheng's smiling face froze for a moment, "King Taiping's eloquence is as good as ever."

"Leader Wanyan is as dishonest as ever." King Taiping smiled, but his eyes were so deep that Wanyan Sheng didn't dare to say anything bad.

"Who are these?" Wan Yancheng looked at Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan to change the subject.

"Leader Wanyan, this is the son of King Jin of Chu State, this is the concubine, this is Princess Changshou, the granddaughter of King Taiping, and this is the princess of Wenshui County, our future Fifth Prince Concubine." Ge Shumu took over the conversation and introduced Chen Xiuyan and his party to Wanyan Sheng, and there were only a few of them as the most important masters.

Hu Yuan'an, Jiao Niang, and casually were also there, but the three of them were behind Madam Mu and the others, and Hu Yuan'an was well covered, so outsiders couldn't see anything unusual.

Wanyan Sheng welcomed King Taiping and his party into Wanyan Mansion, and introduced them along the way.

Looking at the luxurious decoration inside, Chen Xiuyan had a preliminary understanding of Wanyan's family background and taste. The family background must be rich, but the taste is really not good.

The magnificent screen wall is engraved with patterns that seem to be mythical beasts, all of which are pasted with gold, and the four sides are also inlaid with various gemstones. The whole is dazzling, and people may be trying to blind the eyes of people who enter the door.

The interior structure of the mansion is the same as that of Chu’s courtyard house. It can be seen that thought has been put into it, and the decoration is more like the style of Jiangnan water town. It is an ornamental pool built in a water-scarce country like Tatar.

The temperature in Tatar country is doomed to not grow any aquatic plants, so fish are raised in the pool.

"This pool is not only built according to the customs of Chu country's Jiangnan water town, but also specially invited craftsmen to build it. The location is still for the master to see Feng Shui." Wanyan Cheng almost walked all the way to introduce, and the self-satisfied expression on his face made him feel uncomfortable. People can see at a glance.

"It seems that Chief Wanyan really likes the local customs and customs of the state of Chu, and specially invited the skilled craftsmen of the state of Chu, and even trusted our warlocks of the state of Chu. If he didn't know that he was in the territory of Tatar, the king would have thought he had returned home. " King Taiping said casually.

Chen Xiuyan suppressed a smile when she heard the words, and she had a new understanding of the Wanyan leader in her heart. It didn't seem like she was someone with a high EQ, but to put it bluntly, she was just stupid.

Sure enough, as soon as King Taiping finished speaking, Yan Sheng's expression turned dark.

"It's the Tatar Queen's credit that Chief Wanyan's admiration for Chu's customs and customs is all due to us." Ge Shumu said with a smile, "Our two countries have such a long-term friendly exchange, and the Queen's education to the people of the whole country is the most important thing. It matters."

Wan Yancheng echoed with a smile, Ge Shumu is a popular person around the King of Tatars, what he said has a certain weight, not to mention the King of Tatars' attitude towards the queen, who dares to be disrespectful in the whole country.

Wanyan Sheng personally took King Taiping and his party to the backyard. He had someone clean up the nearby yards for King Taiping and his party to live in. King Taiping took Luan Ping to one yard, and the rest went with Chen Xiuyan. She and Chu Wenqian's yard.

Therefore, King Taiping gave the big courtyard to Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan. There are three main rooms and three east and west wing rooms, which are completely enough to live in.

As soon as she entered the house, Chen Xiuyan felt a wave of warmth. There should be a wall of fire in the house, which is more comfortable than a charcoal basin, and there is no need to smell it, but it is true that it is also drier.

A slave came in with hot water, and Chen Xiuyan was the first to wash up, and then Chu Wenqian took care of it and washed it together. After the whole family and Luo Mingxin and others in the yard had cleaned up, it was already dark.

"My son, my concubine, the flower hall has prepared a dinner, please move." Someone led Chen Xiuyan and his party to meet King Taiping outside the courtyard, and then went to the flower hall.

The layout of Wanyan Mansion made Chen Xiuyan and others very adaptable. The flower hall was also the same as the one in his own mansion. At this time, two tables had been set up in the flower hall, and some cold dishes had already been placed on the tables.

Looking at the dishes, Chen Xiuyan was not surprised at all. It was very authentic Chu country food, and the cold dishes were also very Chu country.

"Thinking that after entering the territory of Tatar, all of you, King Taiping, ate Tatar's food along the way. You might not be used to it. There is a chef in Wanyan Mansion who is good at Chu country's craftsmanship. I specially paid a lot of money to invite him here. Today Let's try Chu's national cuisine." Wanyan Sheng said.

"Chief Wanyan has a heart." King Taiping said, and then sat on one of the main seats under Wanyan Sheng's guidance.

Chu Wenqian, Chen Xiuyan, Princess Changshou and Luo Mingxin took their seats in turn.

Wanyan Sheng only let his wife, eldest son and daughter-in-law sit at the main table, plus Ge Shumu, exactly ten people.

Waiting for people to sit down, hot dishes came up one after another.

The first thing served was the Buddha Jumping Wall Congee for one person, one Gu. Chen Xiuyan looked at the rich yellow color in front of her, with a fragrant taste. Apart from the precious seafood, it was yellow millet.

"After a long journey for a few days, let's drink a bowl of porridge to pad our belly before eating and drinking, it will be good for the spleen and stomach." Wanyan Sheng said.

The taste is mellow and fragrant, and there is a fresh seafood flavor in the mouth. The millet has completely absorbed the umami taste of the soup, and it almost bottoms out after ten spoonfuls. The portion is not big, but the aftertaste is endless.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, fish soup, roasted whole lamb, pork knuckle, steamed river fish, stir-fried river prawns, and six or seven dishes of seasonal vegetables...

The dishes on this table were very important, and Chen Xiuyan ate very happily.
