The residence of Wan Yansheng, the leader of the Ankang tribe, is located in the center of the city, occupying almost half a street, which shows its scale.

Wanyan Sheng and a large family were waiting at the gate. Chen Xiuyan and others got off the carriage one after another. Chen Xiuyan's first feeling about this house with red walls and green tiles was that she felt as if she had returned to Yijiang County. Her first

When I saw the Wang family mansion.

For a Tatar, this mansion was really grand. Its scale was very similar to the courtyard house of Chu State. There were also stone lions outside, the vermilion gate, and the style of the walls were also very similar. Chen Xiuyan could not help but take a few more glances.

"Chief Wanyan." Ge Shumu greeted Wanyan Sheng and saluted.

It can be seen from Ge Shumu's attitude towards Wanyan Sheng that the other person's status is higher than Ge Shumu's.

"General Geshu, welcome." Wanyan Sheng spoke authentic Chu State Mandarin. In fact, these words were meant more for Chen Xiuyan and his party.

"Hello, King Taiping, we haven't seen each other for many years. The last time we saw each other was when you sent our Tartar Queen to get married." Wanyan Sheng said with a smile.

"Marriage?" The corners of King Taiping's lips curled up, "The King of Tatar proposed marriage with sincerity and gave almost half of Tatar's financial resources as a betrothal gift. Now the fifth prince is not willing to give in too much. If this is a marriage, then Tatar

It won’t be long before the children of the Tartar royal family marry into other countries.”

Wanyan Sheng's smile froze, "King Taiping's eloquence is as good as ever."

"Leader Wanyan is as dishonest as ever." King Taiping had a smile on his face, but his eyes were so deep that Wanyan Sheng did not dare to say any more unpleasant words.

"Who are these?" Wanyan Sheng looked at Chu Wenqian and Chen Xiuyan to change the topic.

"Chief Wanyan, this is the eldest son of Prince Jin of the Chu Kingdom, this is the eldest concubine, this is Princess Changshou, the direct granddaughter of Prince Taiping, and this is the Princess of Wenshui County, our future fifth princess."

Ge Shumu took over the conversation and introduced Chen Xiuyan and his party to Wanyan Sheng. There were only a few important masters.

Hu Yuanan, Jiao Niang and Yi Ran were also there, but the three of them were behind Nanny Mu and the others. Hu Yuanan was well covered, so outsiders couldn't see anything strange.

Wanyan Sheng welcomed Prince Taiping and his entourage into Wanyan Mansion and introduced them all the way.

Chen Xiuyan looked at the luxurious decoration inside and had a preliminary understanding of the Wanyan family's wealth and taste. The family's wealth must be rich, but their taste was really not that good.

The splendid screen wall is engraved with patterns that seem to be those of mythical beasts from mythological stories. They are all covered with gold, and the four sides are inlaid with various gems. The whole thing is dazzling. People may want to blind the eyes of people who enter the door.

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

The temperature in Tatar country is destined to make it impossible to grow any water plants, so fish are raised in the pond.

"This pool is not only built according to the style of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River in Chu State. Craftsmen were specially invited to build it. The location is also based on the Feng Shui of the master." Wanyan Sheng almost walked all the way to introduce it, with a self-satisfied expression on his face.

People can see it at a glance.

"It seems that Chief Wanyan really likes the customs and customs of Chu State. He specially invited Chu State's skilled craftsmen and trusted our Chu State's magicians. If he hadn't known that he was in Tatar territory, I would have thought he had gone home.

"King Taiping said very casually.

Chen Xiuyan held back her laughter after hearing this, and had a new understanding of leader Wanyan. He didn't seem to have a high emotional intelligence, but to put it bluntly, he was stupid.

As expected, Wanyan Sheng's expression turned bad as soon as King Taiping finished speaking.

"The fact that Chief Wanyan admires some of Chu's customs and customs is all due to our Tatar Queen." Geshumu said with a smile, "Our two countries can have such long-term friendly exchanges because of the Queen's enlightenment to the people of the country.

It’s important.”

Wanyan Sheng smiled and echoed a few words. Geshumu was a popular figure around the Tatar King, so what he said had a certain weight. What's more, the Tatar King's attitude towards the queen, no one in the country dared to be disrespectful.

Wanyan Sheng personally took Prince Taiping and his entourage to the backyard. He had people clean up several nearby yards for Prince Taiping and his entourage to live in. Prince Tingping took Luanping to one yard each, and the rest followed Chen Xiuyan.

Her and Chu Wenqian's yard.

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

As soon as she entered the house, Chen Xiuyan felt a warmth. There should be a fire wall in the house. It was more comfortable than a charcoal pot and did not require the smell, but it was also drier.

A slave came in with hot water. Chen Xiuyan was the first to wash up, and then Chu Wenqian and others washed together. By the time the family and Luo Mingxin in the yard had tidied up, it was already getting dark.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, a dinner party has been prepared in the flower hall. Please move over." 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's mansion made Chen Xiuyan and others particularly adaptable. The flower hall was the same as that in her own mansion. At this time, there were two large tables in the flower hall, and some cold dishes were already placed on the table.

Chen Xiuyan was a little surprised when she saw the dishes. They were very authentic Chu cuisine, and the presentation of the cold dishes was also very Chu.

"I thought that after entering Tatar territory, you, King Taiping, would eat Tatar food all the way, and you might not be used to it. There is a chef in Wanyan Mansion who is good at Chu cuisine. I specially spent a lot of money to invite him. Today

Let’s try Chu cuisine.” Wanyan Sheng said.

"Chief Wanyan is interested." King Taiping said, and then he sat down on one of the main seats under Wanyan Sheng's guidance.

Chu Wenqian, Chen Xiuyan, Princess Changshou and Luo Mingxin took their seats one after another.

Wanyan Sheng only allowed his wife, his eldest son and his eldest daughter-in-law to sit at the main table. Plus Ge Shumu, there were exactly ten people.

After everyone was seated, hot dishes were served one after another.

The first thing that came up was the Buddha Jumping over the Wall Porridge for one person and one Gu. Chen Xiuyan looked at the rich yellow color and fragrant taste in front of her. In addition to the precious seafood, it was yellow millet.

"After a long journey for several days, let's drink a bowl of porridge to cushion our stomachs before eating or drinking. This is good for the spleen and stomach." Wanyan Sheng said.

The taste is mellow, with a fresh seafood flavor in the mouth. The millet has completely absorbed the umami flavor of the soup. After scooping ten spoons, it is almost all gone. The portion is not big, but the aftertaste is endless.

Sweet and sour pork ribs, fish fillet soup, roasted whole lamb, sauced elbow, steamed river fish, stir-fried river shrimp, and six or seven seasonal vegetables...

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