Chapter 90: The Number of Rites
Lin Zhi looked at his brother's stupid smile and almost frightened off the chopsticks in his hand, is this still his cold-hearted and cold-hearted brother? After the three of them were embarrassed by Mo Caicai's actions and left the room before, they came to the side hall to have breakfast, and before they had eaten for a while, they saw Mo Caicai holding Lin Ye's hand and jumping happily in front of them, and then he saw a scene that was too unbelievable in front of him.
"By the way, did our Second Highness have been poisoned?"
"Nonsense, our Ono is healthy!"
Mo Caicai glanced at Lin Zhi, "You curse our family Xiaoye again, I'll let Coco poison you!"
"Hmph, as long as you can. Lin Zhi sneered, but still glanced at Qin Keke, who was silently holding a bowl of porridge next to him, only to see Coco blinking and looking at him, which seemed to mean that I had this idea for a long time... Lin Zhi couldn't help but skim his face stupidly.
"Okay, okay, stop making a fuss, let's get something to eat. Yuan Huan started the round at the right time, he felt that he was always going around among them when he went out this time, and he had to admire his wit.
Caicai's stomach was already rumbling, and she thought that maybe she had exerted a lot of strength in it when she received the spiritual power last night, otherwise she wouldn't feel like she could eat an elephant hungry. She unceremoniously picked up the white-flour steamed bun on the table and gnawed on it, Lin Ye frowned when she saw her gobbling up, got up and served her a bowl of gruel, and said softly: "Drink some, don't choke." ”
The same cherished words are like gold, but the gentleness in these words can greasy a bucket of water. The three people sitting beside them looked at each other, their biggest gain this morning was not that Caicai suddenly had more spiritual power, but that the forest they knew had changed completely, becoming like a person.
Ignoring the glances of a few people on the side, Lin Ye naturally continued to serve Mo Caicai for breakfast, and he was very happy.
It seemed that the person who had made them have trouble eating breakfast came, dressed in a white gauze skirt, and followed by the patriarch of three or two maids into the side hall where they were eating.
Without waiting for a few people to react, the patriarch spoke, "How did you sleep well yesterday? We are located by the sea, which is relatively humid, if there is anything unsuitable, you can always order someone to inform you." ”
Lin knew that they had all seen this patriarch yesterday, but Mo Caicai had not seen this person all the way to sleep, she was not willing to put down the sugar triangle in her hand, and looked at the slim female patriarch while gnawing.
The patriarch who noticed that there was one more girl among them frowned slightly, she knew that her appearance had always been regarded as a god-like elegance and beauty by the people of the clan, but the girl in front of her was no less than hers. Especially those clear and bright pupils, it seems to be able to look into your heart. Her skin is whiter than ordinary people, but this girl's skin is also very fair, but it is not as bloodless as her, and this girl's white also reveals a faint red powder. She admitted that she was very jealous of the girl in front of her, not only because her appearance was better than her, but also because she could see that she and Lin Ye seemed to be closer than anyone else, plus she had a better and healthier body than her...
"Who is this girl?"
Mo Caicai blinked, she was asked by name? She just glanced at the matriarch in Lin Zhi's mouth a few more times, and she was discovered first. Caicai had no choice but to put down the food in her hand, stood up, and replied with a smile: "My name is Mo Caicai." ”
"Oh, Miss Mo, hehe, welcome to our tribe. Please forgive me for not noticing Miss Mo yesterday. It's rude. ”
"No, no, patriarch, you are polite, the little girl was unwell yesterday and was carried away, but the little girl was rude and rude. ”
The two of you exchanged a few polite words, in fact, Mo Caicai didn't like this very much, but the patriarchs of the human family all spoke, if you shouldn't, wouldn't it be a Buddha to save people's face, this is still in other people's territory, it's better to bear with it. She secretly clapped her hands for her atmosphere, but Lin Ye beside her didn't think so, what he thought was that this patriarch was too blind to see, and he didn't see that they were eating breakfast at a table, and it was really annoying to run around at this time.
What's even more eyeless is that the matriarch watched Lin Ye chew the steamed bun in her hand, ordered someone to quickly take the breakfast she had prepared and put it on the table, and said earnestly: "Your Royal Highness, taste it, this is what I specially prepared for you." ”
Lin Zhi glanced at the exquisite food box on the table, and then at the steamed buns made by Yuan Huan, who was squeezed aside by the maid, and felt a little unhappy in his heart.
"Thank you, Patriarch, but we're full. ”
Seeing that Lin Zhi didn't appreciate it, the patriarch didn't get angry, after all, her purpose was not to give Lin Zhi food. She smiled faintly and said, "Then please ask Your Royal Highness to taste it, this is an ingredient that only our clan has, and it has the effect of strengthening the body." ”
"Oh, thank you. Lin Ye thanked him, immediately picked up the vegetables in the food box and put them in Caicai's bowl, and said, "Eat quickly." ”
Caicai actually wanted to put down the chopsticks for a long time, but because of the presence of outsiders, it was just a little shrunk. She smelled the fragrance wafting from the food box before the maids brought it up, and she had been swallowing silently as she seduced her. Fortunately, her family Xiaoye was intimate, she ate all the dishes in the bowl with satisfaction, and did not forget to look at Xiaoye after eating, and motioned him to come again, you're welcome. Lin Yewan'er really picked up the whole plate directly and put it in front of Caicai, and Caicai winked at him with emotion.
Seeing that the dishes on the plate were quickly eaten by Mo Caicai, the matriarch gritted her back molars, but her face did not show the slightest displeasure, and she still had a shallow smile.
"Second Highness, I still have something in front of me, so I won't bother for now, and a few of you will use it slowly. And, don't forget, tonight's feast for a few people. ”
"Thank you, Patriarch, we will be on time. Yuan Huan, who had been sitting, stood up at this time, he knew that it was unrealistic to let Lin Zhi and Lin Ye learn to give away, save some saliva, it was better to come by yourself. He politely sent the matriarch out of the door, and the matriarch didn't mind who sent her, and her care in her heart was far more than these small things.
As soon as she walked out of the courtyard, a maid who followed the patriarch couldn't help but say: "Who do they think they are, they take themselves too seriously, and no one stands up when they see our patriarch come in, it's really rude!"
"Hugh is too talkative. ”
The matriarch glanced lightly at the maid who was fighting for her, "They are the two highnesses of our human race, even if they are sitting, don't lose the etiquette of our tribe." ”
"Yes, follow the teachings of the patriarch. The maid bowed her head respectfully in response. The rest of the people also bowed down one by one, and in their hearts everything the patriarch said was right, the patriarch was their patriarch and their queen.
"Let's go, prepare well for tonight's feast. ”
"Yes. ”
There have been no outsiders in the clan for a long time, and tonight must be lively, the matriarch took her hand behind her back, and the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually disappeared as she moved away from the forest and their courtyard, and now her eyes were indescribably deep, and she couldn't even remember how long she had been waiting.
After sending off the matriarch, Yuan Huan stepped into the dining room again and found that Caicai had already eaten, and he was just sitting and waiting for him.
"We're so rude, and she's not angry?"
Lin Zhi was the first to ask curiously.
"Yo, do you still know that you are rude?" Yuan Huan scolded him angrily.
"Hey, didn't you stand up just now, don't say it seems like I'm alone, you, Coco, Lin Ye, Caicai, didn't all stand up. Lin Zhi called their names one by one, and he categorically refused to admit that he was the only one who didn't know how to count.
It is true that what Lin Zhi said is the truth. Yuan Huan shook his head with a smile, sat down next to Coco, Coco smiled and poured him a cup of tea made from the tea leaves she carried, even outside, Coco couldn't be bitter about herself. She made tea for several people, and she was going to talk about things later, how could she not be accompanied by good tea.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Mo Caicai raised a small face that had been buried in the breakfast for a long time, and asked, "What is the name of the matriarch just now?" Didn't she say that she dedicated her daughter to the dragon god, but when I saw her, she didn't look like a person with a daughter, let alone a person who wanted to marry her daughter to Ono. ”
"I don't know what her name is. But what the surname, I know, the inhabitants here all have the same surname, and they all have the surname of mother. ”
Yuan Huan is like a know-it-all, things that few people don't know, but he can explain them clearly.
Several people put their exploratory eyes on his face, and Yuan Huan took a sip of tea, living up to their expectations.
"It is said that this northern tribe lived by the sea, and it is an exaggeration to say that they were all people who came out of the sea. However, I think that it is all a false statement, and I believe that it was spread by themselves so that outsiders or other tribes would not dare to bully them. Naturally, they are also a tribe under the protection of the king, but the mountain is high and the emperor is far away, if we wait for our majesty to receive a letter for help before sending troops, I am afraid that they will be wiped out long ago. Each tribe will have its own way of surviving and surviving. I can't go into it, so I won't say much about it here. Many years ago, I spent some time in the coastal area, and met some fishermen with the surname Mu, which is much farther away from here, I asked them, and they told me that they are all part of the branches of the northern tribes, and since their ancestors brought them to the north to set the foundation, they have changed their surnames to the surnames of the patriarchs of the original generation, and no one has raised any objections. Due to the clan rules, those who came out of them couldn't go back, so they simply stayed where they were and settled. As for which clan rule they violated, they didn't tell me, but when I entered the city yesterday, I had already guessed that the clan rule they had violated was probably a marriage with a foreigner, and was not accepted by the people in the tribe. It's the first time I've seen a tribe like this. ”
