In the north corner of Dasheng City, in a small building completely built in the Ming Dynasty, Gao Mo met Han Naji, the grandson of Anda Khan, who the eldest young master ordered him to "get closer to".
The first thing that surprised Gao Mo was Han Naji's appearance. His appearance is obviously different from that of ordinary adult Mongolian men. He does not have a round face, but a square face with Chinese characters. Except for the chin, there is still some Mongolian flavor. He is almost the same as a Han man. .
And his attire is also quite interesting. Although the clothes are still in Mongolian style, the fabric is obviously from the Ming Dynasty, and the quality looks quite new. I am afraid it is from Suzhou when Cao Gan and others came to do business last time. As for the gold-encrusted jade belt around his waist and the white jade thumb rings on his fingers, their exquisiteness cannot be made by the Mongols. Look at the workmanship of the jade belt, it would be considered a top quality even in the Ming Dynasty.
What's even more interesting is the layout of this small building. Not only are there hung some furs and skins of prey, as well as scimitars, bows and arrows, just like other Mongolian nobles, but there are also some hangings that Gao Mo can't tell which famous people they belong to. The hand-written calligraphy and paintings, the whole small building is a combination of Han and Mongolian styles.
No wonder Cao Gan just said that Han Naji was an alien who "had his heart set on the Ming Dynasty". It seemed that the rumors were true. The Mongolian inside story that the eldest son got was obviously very problematic, but he didn't expect it to be right on this point. In this case, although the "dispute between the three ladies" is probably a misunderstanding, there is still a chance to build a good relationship with Han Naji. Well, the only problem is that since there is no longer a dispute between the three wives, it is unlikely that Han Naji will inexplicably give up his status and power in Mongolia and surrender to the Ming Dynasty, no matter how close his relationship is with us, right?
Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.
Bhan Naji is indeed only eighteen years old this year, but he has already grown two beards on his mouth, and the roots of the beard on his cheeks are also obviously blue, obviously he has just been shaved. Just when Gao Mo followed Cao Gan to pay homage, he had already stood up with a smile and walked over in an unusually friendly manner: "King Cao Tian, how are your animals? I am having a happy event, so you are here. Good luck! What good stuff have you brought this time? I just happened to pick a few more items to send to Tu Lajin’s family."
I don't know if this Hannaji really has a good relationship with Cao Gan or something, but he went up to him without any pretense, patted his shoulders with both hands, and then hugged him hard.
"My livestock is well, and I hope Dacheng Taiji's livestock is well."
Unlike the Han people who like to ask "Have you eaten?" when meeting, the first greeting of Mongolian people is usually to ask the other party "Is the livestock okay?"
Cao Gan seemed to be very familiar with Mongolian etiquette. After returning this greeting, he hugged Han Naji in his back and continued: "Dacheng Taiji is my most noble friend in Mongolia besides the Great Khan. , of course you have to prepare the goods when you come here! Not to mention Hu silk and Su embroidery, even your favorite Junshan Maojian from Taiji, I specially asked someone to get more than 20 kilograms -" He said this and lowered his voice. He said in a loud voice: "This is something even a big sweat can't do."
Han Naji was overjoyed and so excited that he patted Cao Gan on the shoulder and said loudly: "Okay, okay, good friend, Cao Tianwang, you are my good friend!" Then he greeted loudly: "You guys What's going on, slave? It's been so long since Ben Taiji's good friend came in, why hasn't the milk tea been served yet? Do you want the guests to laugh at me, Dacheng Taiji, for not being able to entertain guests at home? A bunch of losers!"
After the two parties were seated, the milk tea was immediately served. Cao Gan only glanced at the color and knew that this was the best milk tea. He immediately picked it up without ceremony, and at the same time turned slightly sideways and whispered to Gao Mo beside him: "It must be Drink it all in one gulp.”
Gao Mo was slightly startled. He had never drunk this before, and he could vaguely smell it just by holding it in front of him. It wasn't unpleasant, but it was definitely not a smell he was familiar with. If it hadn't been for Cao Gan's confession , he will definitely not touch it.
But after Cao Gan finished speaking, he picked up the large bowl of milk tea and drank it down without hesitation. Gao Mo had no choice but to hold his nose and suffocate.
Who knew that the milk tea was not over yet, and then Han Naji's slaves brought plates of milk rinds, cheese and other items. However, this time Cao Gan did not speak and Gao Mo did not move until the last burst of milk fragrance and wine. When the strong fragrance of incense came, Cao Gan whispered to him again: "We can drink as much as he drinks. Don't be afraid."
Han Naji picked up a large cup that was placed in front of him, stood up, raised the cup to Cao Gan and Gao Mo, and said loudly: "Guests from far away, please taste the supreme wine from Wanli Grassland! This mellow horse Milk wine is as long-lasting as the deep friendship between us!"
Cao Gan and Gao Mo also stood up at the same time, holding up the equally huge cups in front of them. While drinking from Han Naji, they also took big gulps of wine without showing any signs of weakness.
Han Naji looked very happy when he saw that the two of them drank the large bowl of kumiss in one gulp as he did. He laughed brightly and said, "Okay! Good friends, that's fun!"
He didn't know that Gao Mo on the side was secretly muttering in his heart: This wine seems mild and has a milky aroma, but I'm afraid it has a lot of stamina. Do all these Mongolians taste like this? If you get drunk while entertaining guests, wouldn't it be a joke?
Cao Gan smiled and turned the cup over to show that he had finished it, and then said with a smile: "I just heard Dacheng Taiji say that he wanted to pick some gifts for Tutu Jin's family. I don't know why? If it's not urgent, you might as well let Cao I will look into the details for you and decide what is appropriate to give as a gift. You also know Dacheng Taiji. Some of these things from our Ming Dynasty have special meanings, and they are also a bit particular to give."
Han Naji waved his hand boldly: "What does it matter? My auspicious prime minister has fallen in love with the daughter of the Ushenbu Tuchajin family. We have just settled the matter with them and are about to appoint him - King Cao Tian , you know that I have no shortage of cattle and sheep, but I am famous for my good writing in Mongolia. If I only send some cattle and sheep common things, how can I show my ability? So you Help me choose and see what I can give as a gift that will reflect Ben Taiji’s taste!”
After Gao Mo heard this, his eyes widened and he subconsciously looked towards Cao Gan. Cao Gan's expression also changed a little, and he also looked towards him. The two people's thoughts were particularly unified at this moment: Does Han Naji really want to marry a wife? But looking at what he meant, this matter was not planned in advance, but an impromptu idea. Otherwise, why wouldn't he prepare a gift in advance? But the question arises, could the eldest young master be so unpredictable that he could guess from thousands of miles away that Han Naji intends to take a wife?
