366. What reward do you want (tomorrow will be more exciting, Mo Mo Da)
Yang Shubao looked out and found that the appearance of the chief was called a grand one.
The mild-mannered black chief sat on a wooden sedan chair with his son in his arms.
Compared with the single soft sedan car between them, the current wooden sedan chair is much more luxurious.
It was carried by four strong men on their shoulders, and there were many beautiful feathers pasted on it, and all that Lao Yang could recognize were the feathers of the lover's parrot and the feathers of the green pigeon.
The front of the wooden sedan chair is inlaid with ivory and bison horns, and the four strong men carrying the sedan chair wear horned helmets on their heads.
They wore leopard skins on their upper bodies, leopard skins on their lower bodies, and serval bracers on their wrists and ankles.
As the voice of the officer on duty fell, the sedan chair was also put down, the officer on duty stepped forward to support, and the chief of the golden shield walked down with his son in his arms.
The people in the palace got up, and thought they would just come in, and then the feast began.
When the chief reached the door, the officer on duty raised his head again and shouted: "Oh, oh, oh, oh, Your Majesty the Great Chief Golden Shield, you are the great monarch of the Arrow Land tribe, the mighty king, the son of the sun, the son of the steppe, the son of the lion, and all the Zulu people in the world have bowed and saluted when they see you, and it is their honor to receive guests from foreign tribes today......
Lao Yang blinked vigorously when he heard this, he didn't know that modern society still retained such feudal customs, although he was a guest who was received, he still felt a little embarrassed.
Zhang Jinjie also wanted to say something, but this atmosphere was not suitable for biting his ears, so he had to close his mouth again.
The duty officer continued to praise the chief, and finally said: "Please come forward with the blessings from the Great Wall, please the great chief give them blessings from the sun and grassland, Mr. Yang and Mrs. Yang, please come forward to accept the sun's praise!"
Kirkla raised his hand and motioned for the two of them to step forward, and another set of etiquette walked down, and the chief finally spoke: "Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, Mr. Jin, welcome to your arrival, please take a seat." Duty officer, the dinner begins. ”
Originally, Yang Shubao felt that he was equal to Kirkla and the chief, and to put it bluntly, he even felt that his bloodline and knowledge were above these two people, but after experiencing this set of complicated rituals, this psychology was unconsciously abandoned and changed to a sense of awe for the chief.
This is the reason why some feudal rituals were born, they could create a sense of class in the crowd, and in the final analysis, it was for the sake of domination.
However, the Golden Shield Chief is still a very friendly person.
He sat on the throne and smiled at Yang Shubao and said, "Mr. Yang, it was a bit rude for me to suddenly invite you over, but I really can't wait to meet you, so I specially received you with the highest courtesy of our Arrow Land tribe to entertain civilian guests, I hope you can forgive me for my presumptuous invitation." ”
Yang Shubao said: "The chief is polite, I should thank you, if it weren't for your hospitality, I wouldn't have known that Zulu culture was so splendid and so atmospheric." ”
The two sides politely exchanged until the little prince looked at Nicole and said, "Dad, this sister is so beautiful." ”
These frank words broke the sense of distance between the two parties, and Golden Shield laughed and said, "When you grow up, will you find such a good-looking wife?"
The little prince hugged his knees and nodded, and asked Nicole again, "Sister, can you marry me when I grow up?"
Nicole couldn't help but laugh and said, "I'm sorry, cute little brother, I'm already married to your big brother, I can't marry you anymore." ”
The little prince said with some melancholy: "But I like you very much." ”
"I like her too. Yang Shubao followed his words and said.
The little prince sighed and said, "Then let's go to the gladiatorial platform for a battle, and use the rules left by our ancestors to decide who can pursue her." Alas, I'm afraid I'm going to lose, Dad, this big brother is very good at looking at it, and I don't think I can beat him. ”
The young child's words were a bit abrupt, but he used the consciousness of the Zulu people to think about the problem, follow the local customs, respect the customs of others, and the other party was still a child, so Yang Shubao couldn't be more serious.
Moreover, the little prince was very straightforward, which was a bit cute, and several adults were amused and didn't take his words seriously.
The golden shield stroked the stubble on the top of his son's head and said: "Your big sister is going to marry your big brother, the rules of the ancestors only apply to unmarried girls, when you grow up, this big sister is already married, and then you can't go to the gladiatorial platform with him to compete." ”
The little prince looked up and asked, "Then why don't I grow up quickly?"
"I hope you can grow up soon. Golden Shield smiled.
Speaking of this, he looked at Yang Shubao and said, "Mr. Yang, I have to thank you for the miraculous effect of the herbs you sent last time. To be honest, I didn't give you hope, but it did, so how can I thank you?"
Kirkla, who was sitting opposite, said with a smile: "The little prince was in much better spirits that day after eating the herbs you sent, and his spirit was better the next day, and he gradually grew a little stubble, and he began to like to eat." You're not here, so I don't know how happy our chief was the other day, if it weren't for the sun ceremony, he would have wanted to invite you here a long time ago. ”
Yang Shubao sent the small glass bottle he brought and said: "There are still some medicines here, please continue to take them for the little prince, I will send you medicine once a week in the future, and it is enough to take it once a week." This medicine can't be taken too much, in the words of our Chinese medical philosophy, it is too much, and the deficiency is not replenished. ”
The officer on duty was about to come up and take the glass bottle, but the golden shield stopped him and said, "I will keep such a precious thing myself." ”
He took the glass bottle with both hands, and when he faced Yang Shubao, he had a pious expression on his face, which was really pitiful for the parents of the world.
Taking the glass bottle and getting Yang Shubao's promise of healing, the golden shield said: "I need to repay you, Mr. Yang, you are the savior of our Arrow Land Tribe, without you, the inheritance of our tribe's royal power scepter will be severed, so please make a request, as long as I can do it, I will do my best!"
Yang Shubao said: "Our Chinese tradition is to help others for pleasure and not ask for anything in return, so you don't have to deliberately repay me, chief." Besides, being able to help a smart, cute and kind child get out of the torment of illness and make him smile is already the best reward. ”
The golden shield waved his hand and said: "Hearing you say this, then I need to repay you even more, please don't be polite, if you need anything, please be honest, our tribe has gold, land, and beautiful women, oh, you shouldn't need this, you already have one of the most outstanding beauties in Africa." ”
Yang Shubao has no need for beauty and gold, and he is really rare in this kind of land, but Nongoma is too far away from his reserve, and it is useless for him to take the land, and he can't manage it.
So he thought for a moment and said, "If you must give me a reward, can you allow my friend Jin to take a tour to visit your tribe?"
