However, Lin Jue couldn't give much response. Firstly, it was because of the current situation, and secondly, because of the identities of both parties. Especially now, when he was basically kidnapped and didn't know Wanyan Aguda's thoughts,
You must not mess around. If you show a little enthusiasm and arouse Wanyan Agu's dissatisfaction, maybe things will get worse. Or if you act too indifferent, it will also arouse Wanyan Agu's dissatisfaction.
Dissatisfied. In short, actions at this time need to be carefully considered. One step away may lead to bad results.
So when Lin Jue saw Wanyan Mingyue, he just bowed and said, "Princess, you are fine. Lin Jue is polite." After that, he could only look at her nose and heart.
At the beginning of the banquet, Wanyan Aguda picked up the wine glass and laughed and said: "Hahaha, everyone, if you drink hastily at noon, you will not be able to enjoy yourself. Today, the army has no limit on alcohol. Mingyue has brought 350 barrels of good wine. Let's tonight
You don’t need to get drunk or come back to celebrate my army’s escape from trouble. Come, come, come, we’ve all done it.”
All the generals shouted to raise their glasses, and everyone drank the wine in the horn glasses. Lin Jue also raised his glasses helplessly, and Wanyan Mingyue whispered beside him: "If Mr. Lin is not good at drinking, he will
There is no need to drink it all. Just have a small taste."
Wanyan Aguda laughed loudly and said: "How can that happen? Brother Lin, although my sister takes care of you, I'm afraid you don't understand the rules of our Jurchens. When you drink with us Jurchens, you must drink to the last drop.
Otherwise, you are looking down on us. Look at the brothers here, which one doesn’t drink cleanly? If you don’t believe me, just find someone to test it.”
All the generals agreed one after another. Several generals picked up their own wine cups and turned them upside down and held them in the air. As expected, not even a drop of wine flowed down.
Wanyan Agu laughed and said, "Look, Brother Lin, he's not tricking you, right?"
Wanyan Mingyue said angrily: "Brother, Mr. Lin is from Zhou Dynasty. He is not used to our wine. Don't embarrass others."
A general smiled and said: "Princess Jinhua, what's wrong with the Zhou people? The Zhou people have to obey the rules in front of us Jurchens, right? As the Zhou people say, they do as the Romans do in the countryside."
Wanyan Mingyue opened her mouth to argue, but Lin Jue waved her hand and said with a smile: "Don't argue. This brother is right. When you go to a country, do as the Romans do. This is etiquette. It's just a glass of wine, just finish it."
Lin Jue raised the wine cup, raised his neck and drank the strong wine. Jurchen wine is stronger than Dazhou wine. In fact, the most popular wine in Dazhou is sake, which has a mild taste and even a little sweet aroma. This kind of wine
It is somewhat similar to the Zhuyeqing wine that Lin Jue often drank in the capital, but the Zhuyeqing wine has a pure taste and is strong but not pungent. The wine I am drinking now is extremely spicy, as if I drank a red-hot knife and put it into my throat. A hot feeling comes from my throat.
Going straight to his chest and abdomen, Lin Jue immediately broke out in a thin layer of sweat.
"Okay, enough of a man. This is a man. If you can't drink strong alcohol, can you still be considered a man? Brother Lin is indeed a cheerful man." Wanyan Agu clapped his hands and laughed, and all the generals also pointed their fingers and praised him.
Wanyan Mingyue frowned and looked at Lin Jue with concern, and wanted to ask Lin Jue how he was doing. Seeing that Lin Jue's expression was as usual, she opened her mouth and swallowed the words.
"Today our army was able to get out of trouble, in addition to the blessing of Changshengtian, it also benefited from the effective rescue of my sister Mingyue. In addition,
Brother Lin's planning is indispensable. If Brother Lin hadn't given me ideas, arranged the march plan, accurately predicted the flood situation, and pointed out a clear path, otherwise our army would not have been able to get out of trouble so smoothly. Brother Lin,
I offer you a glass of wine to express my gratitude to you. We Jurchens have clear grievances and grievances. You are kind to us, so I naturally want to thank you. What I didn’t say, from now on, I will treat you as my brother. After drinking this glass of wine, you and I will
Brother, I will never treat you as an outsider." Wanyan Aguda picked up the wine glass and laughed loudly.
Wanyan Mingyue's eyes widened in surprise. Only then did she realize that Lin Jue was the hero who helped the Jurchen army escape. She felt extremely grateful to Lin Jue in her heart. At the same time, she thought to herself: Lin Jue is willing to do this because of himself. Maybe he loves Wujiwu.
That's why. Otherwise, why would he do this?
The question that Lin Jue was concerned about was how to deal with the second glass of strong alcohol in front of him. Although he had a good drinking capacity, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand a few glasses of wine like this.
"We are brothers, so let's do it. Unless you think that I, Wanyan Agu, am not worthy of being your brother." Wanyan Agu raised his neck and drank up the wine. He turned the horn cup upside down without falling a drop.
Lin Jue frowned while holding the wine glass. Wanyan Mingyue wanted to speak again, but Wanyan Agu grabbed her wrist and stopped her sternly with his eyes.
"It's okay not to drink. If you feel that our leader is not worthy of being your brother, you don't have to drink. But if we are not brothers, then we can only be enemies." General Hulu sneered with a sidelong glance.
Lin Jue suddenly felt that tonight's banquet was not just a banquet, nor was it just a meeting with Wanyan Mingyue, but it seemed to be a game. The other party seemed to intend to get him drunk, maybe he had an ulterior motive.
However, at this moment, even if he felt like this, he had to drink the wine. Lin Jue gritted his teeth, raised his neck and drank the wine. When he put down the wine glass, he staggered slightly and his head felt a little dizzy. Lin Jue felt a little dizzy.
I knew that after drinking two large glasses of strong liquor, I had almost reached the limit of my drinking capacity.
Wanyan Mingyue knew that Lin Jue must not be able to withstand the intensity of the drink, so she frowned and said, "What are you doing? How can Mr. Lin stand up to such a big drink? Doesn't this way of drinking make you drunk?"
Wanyan Agu laughed and said, "Sister, Mr. Lin has a heavy drinking capacity, so it doesn't matter."
Wanyan Mingyue said angrily: "There are many Jurchens in my tribe who cannot drink like this. Besides, Mr. Lin is from the Zhou Dynasty. You also have some hospitality, okay?"
General Yalu Buhua laughed dryly and said: "Sister Mingyue, we are thanking him for helping our Jurchen army escape the difficulties. The big leader personally toasted, isn't this the highest courtesy? The big leader toasted, and we people have to toast too.
.How could you lose etiquette?"
General Hulu nodded in agreement: "Exactly, don't lose etiquette."
Wanyan Mingyue said in a cold voice: "It is not considered etiquette to give people drinks. If any of you want to drink, just come and drink with me. It doesn't matter if you have ten or eight cups. I will discipline you to drink enough!"
Yalu Buhua was stunned for a moment, then said with an apologetic smile: "That's no need, we are going to drink with Mr. Lin, what's the point of drinking with you?"
"That's right, princess, you are so strong. What's the point of drinking with you?" General Hulu agreed with a half-smile on his face.
Wanyan Mingyue was speechless for a moment and her face was a little red. Yes, she stood up for Lin Jueqiang.
What is it? There is no connection between himself and Lin Jue, so it seems a bit inexplicable to forcefully defend him.
Wanyan Aguda didn't speak the whole time, he only smiled and looked at Wanyan Mingyue with a meaningful expression on his face. Seeing Wanyan Mingyue's embarrassment, he chuckled and said: "What the girl said is right, Lin Jue is a native of Zhou Dynasty and is not used to it.
We can't lose our etiquette when drinking like this. Someone, come and change Lin Jue's small cup, we can't get drunk without eating a bite of the food."
Wanyan Mingyue cast a grateful look at Wanyan Aguda, but her brother still looked at her. However, Lin Jue smiled at this moment and said: "No, no, no, guests do as they please, and do as the Romans do. This is my Zhou people's
Etiquette, there is no need to exchange wine cups. Today's meeting of the armies is a day worth celebrating, so what if you are drunk? Generals want to drink with me, so let's drink. Although I am a Zhou Dynasty, I also have a good drinker.
Besides, how can a man be cowardly at the wine table? The wine table is a battlefield."
Everyone looked at him in astonishment and saw Lin Jue pouring himself a full glass of wine. He picked it up and said with a smile: "Thanks to the great leader and generals for taking care of me, Lin and his subordinates expressed their deep gratitude and borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha."
A cup for you all.”
Everyone was in a daze, Wanyan Mingyue frowned, and felt very uncomfortable. From the moment he saw Lin Jue until now, Lin Jue's attitude has always been lukewarm. Although he may not be able to express it in front of others, he obviously
He tried his best to defend him, but he didn't seem to appreciate it. He took the initiative to drink, how could he be the opponent of the people at the table? Wasn't he determined to get drunk?
Wanyan Aguda was also a little surprised. He did intend to make Lin Jue drunk, but his purpose tonight was not to make Lin Jue drunk, but to make Lin Jue drunk so that he could decide a big event.
It is most appropriate to talk about this matter when you are drunk but not drunk.
Lin Jue toasted to him, but Wanyan Aguda said hurriedly: "If you're not busy, let's eat some meat first. I haven't eaten anything yet. I'm just drinking. Eat some mutton. I have something to talk to Brother Lin."
discuss."
Lin Jue raised his neck and drank the wine in a few sips. He held the cup and smiled and said: "This is my respect. I drank it all. The chief and the generals can do whatever they want. We Zhou people have different etiquette from you Jurchens."
, I drank, and if you don’t drink, I won’t blame you for not being a friend enough.”
When Lin Jue said this, Wanyan Aguda and others felt embarrassed. Lin Jue had already done it, could it be that they, like themselves, were still cheating? At that moment, everyone had to drink their glasses of wine.
Before putting down the wine glass, Lin Jue touched the jug and poured the wine. Wanyan Agu hurriedly grabbed Lin Jue's hand and said: "Brothers, please stop, I'm afraid you will get drunk if you drink like this. Eat the food first, eat
vegetable."
Lin Jue's face was already a little pale, his tongue was a little big, and his words were a little bald: "No, no, no... no, our Zhou rule is that three toasts is the greatest... respect. I still have two glasses.
Let’s drink. It’s okay not to drink.”
Everyone's eyes were rolling, and he wanted to drink two drinks in a row? Speak of Lin Jue, he is drunk, and even if everyone in the seat is afraid, some of them will fall down. Is this Lin Jue crazy? The Jurchen tribe's wild monkey wine is very powerful.
To the extreme, even the Jurchen people do not dare to drink continuously, but need to drink slowly, and make a fuss while drinking to release the smell of alcohol. This continuous drinking is not enjoying the drink, but fighting with it.
