Beloved Concubine

Chapter 55 Toast
County Magistrate Ding heard that the man was "Ha Mei"'s husband.

There are all men sitting here, it seems not good to drive him away and leave only his wife here.So reluctantly said:

"Add a chair over there."

In previous years, the "Hamei" were all single women.

The women who can finally win the title of "Ha Mei" are all people who dare to speak and have an open temperament.

Xiao Shitou only knows that "Hamei" has rewards and fame.But I don't know how this "fame" came about.

To put it bluntly, as long as "Hamei" can please everyone here, everyone will naturally give her face.If there is any relationship in private, there will be face and money.

However, this year's "Hamei" is actually a married woman.

It doesn't matter if you are a married woman, but you actually brought your husband along with you.

It can only be said that Chen Xiao doesn't understand the "hidden rules" here.They were all misled by Xiao Shitou, after all, he was still too young.

Gao Can looked thoughtfully at Chen Xiao, then at her husband.I feel that her husband seems to have seen her somewhere.

Min Hong said to Chen Xiao: "Miss Chen, I heard from shopkeeper Li that your singing voice is very beautiful. Today we have something to do and we didn't go to the arena, can you sing a song for us now?"

Fang Yu squinted at Min Hong. At a long table with more than 30 people, the county magistrate sat in the middle of the upper head, and Min Hong sat on the upper left, indicating that this person's status was second only to the county magistrate.But it is also possible that his status is more noble than the county magistrate.Because the county magistrate is the host, he must sit in the middle, with the honored guest on the left and the honored guest on the top left.This is the rule of Xiling long table.

Chen Xiao didn't understand the rules of the long table in Xiling, but he knew that someone who sat at the top must be someone of status.

She picked up the wine glass, walked between Min Hong and County Magistrate Ding, smiled, and sang a toast song in Yi language.

"Sumu is great for me, Qubo Gelasu, you and I can drink Su, Mula Getebo, you Mu Jiajiele, Zhijibo Geda, paper miscellaneous, I Muduo, Saraluo, I Su, Su you Suda Duoduo, Su you Suda Duoduo..."

Everyone couldn't understand what she was singing, but her voice was clear and melodious, touching the heartstrings like bamboo leaves.

"What are you singing?" County Magistrate Ding was moved by her singing, and spoke softly.

"Toast song. The little girl is late, please forgive me."

Holding a wine glass, Chen Xiao stood in front of Ding County Magistrate.

She guessed that the person sitting at the top of the middle should be the county magistrate, but no one introduced her, and she couldn't figure out who was who.

But it's not important, it's right to respect the superior first.

"The little girl came to An County for the first time, and she is not very familiar with the county. The little girl drank this cup, adults please feel free."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, he drank the wine in his glass.

County magistrate Ding was puzzled: Seeing that she is quite relaxed, why did she bring her husband?

The woman did it, and the magistrate Ding also did his own wine.

"What's the meaning of the song you just sang?" Min Hong asked.He didn't understand a word.

"I just sang in a minority language, to the effect that friends from all over the world rarely get together, please have a glass of wine."

Chen Xiao asked the guy next to her to add wine to her, and then brought it to Min Hong:
"It's the first time we meet, please take care of me in the future."

Then she did it.

Min Hong asked, "Where are you from?"

Chen Xiaodao: "People from Xiling."

The people sitting in Xiling gave her a scrutinizing look.

Chen Xiao added: "I'm from Heishan in the north of Xiling."

The people sitting in Xiling seemed to understand it, and someone asked, "Did you escape from Montenegro a few years ago?"

Chen Xiao didn't understand why he said he was fleeing, but he had heard from Fang Yu before that only 30 of the [-] troops returned from the Battle of Montenegro, so there must have been a tragic war in Montenegro that year.So in his words:

"Yeah, I came out three years ago."

The expression on the man's face showed that he believed it.

"Your husband is also from Xiling?" Min Hong asked.

Chen Xiao looked at Fang Yu.

Fang Yu replied: "Yes. I am from Hexi."

Li Mingyu asked: "You grew up in Hexi?"

"Yes." Fang Yu nodded.

Li Mingyu said: "Speaking of which, you should be considered a native of Xia."

More than ten years ago, Hexi was still the territory of Xia State, but it was later invaded by force from Xiling.It was because of this war that Xia Guo closed the country and stopped doing business with Xi Ling.

The Xiling people sitting here looked at Li Mingyu, there was no hostility in their eyes, but there was no kindness in their eyes either.

Xia Guo claims to be a big country, but the country is weak and weak.The nobles of the Xia Kingdom would only be greedy for pleasure, and the court was corrupt.Xia Guo's indiscriminate issuance of official banknotes has driven up domestic prices. Xiling people usually trade with Xia Guo people by barter, even if it is calculated in silver, they only need cash.

Over the years, South Vietnam has opened more and more places and fields to Xiling. Originally, the silk of Xia Kingdom, they could grow mulberry, raise silkworms, spin silk and weave cloth in South Vietnam; some craftsmen of Xia Kingdom, through Nanyue, they Also recruited a lot of talent.Except for some things that are unique to Xia Guo, Xiling is gradually not needing Xia Guo.

County magistrate Ding saw that the businessmen of the two countries seemed to be estranged, so he said to Chen Xiao and Nie Feng:

"We didn't hear what you two were singing on the ring today, Mr. Nie...?" It meant, can you sing it again now.

He asked Nie Feng in an inquiring tone.

Nie Feng cast a look at Chen Xiao and asked her: Do you want to sing?

Chen Xiao said to Nie Feng: "Sing Guess the tune, you start first."

Nie Feng didn't know what "guessing the tune" was, but let him start first, so he knew what he was going to sing.

"Little darling, come on little darling, we told you to guess..."

The two sang a question and an answer.

Her voice is as clear as water drops, and as sweet as a yellow warbler in the mountains.

Fang Yu looked at the two of them flirting with each other with a condensed expression.

Gao Can listened to the singing, but looked at Fang Yu.

Where did he seem to have seen it?Where the hell is it?
After a song was sung, the audience applauded.

Villagers can whistle, and there are well-known wealthy businessmen sitting here, and they applaud in a civilized manner.

Min Hong smiled and said to Li Mingyu beside him: "You are really right."

He raised his wine glass and said to Chen Xiao: "My lady's singing is as beautiful as a yellow warbler, I offer a toast to my lady."

Seeing the frivolous smile on his face, Chen Xiao knew that he had bad intentions.Politely said:

"Thank you!" He drank the wine in his glass.

Chen Xiao asked the waiter to refill the wine, and said to Li Mingyu who was sitting next to Min Hong:

"Hello, I'm Chen Xiaoxiao, the owner of Chunji Snack Restaurant. It's the first time we meet. Please take care of me in the future."

The beauty toasted, Li Mingyu responded politely, and had a drink with her.

Then Chen Xiao followed the table and toasted one by one. Everyone said, "Hello, I am Chen Xiaoxiao, the owner of Chunji Snack Restaurant. This is the first time we meet. Please take care of me in the future."

When she paid respects to the last person, this one was more polite and enthusiastic.He introduced himself:
"I am Yang Shengchang, the owner of the Dama store. Thank you for the meat grinder in your store today."

"You are Boss Yang, sorry for your disrespect!"

"Come to our shop some other day. I want to ask Mrs. Chen about something."

Xiao Shitou went to help and praised his employer.By the way, it was revealed that the owner was going to open a big restaurant and was looking for a shop.Mysteriously said that the proprietress has a secret recipe, she will definitely make a profit.

The Dama store is an inn, and there are also restaurants in the store.Boss Yang saw that Chunji Snack Restaurant has such an easy-to-use meat grinder, and he made it himself, so he was impressed by the owner of Chunji Snack Restaurant.
