Chapter 1065: Wedding on the Prairie
The wedding on the grassland is very special, and it is completely different from the wedding in the Central Plains.
At this time, the weather is very hot, but the hot sun can't stop people from loving the lively mood, and the white horse, as the groom's official, is naturally dressed up, as the groom, he can walk around.
The vast grassland, the grass is like felt, the grassland is full of yellow begonia flowers, and the begonia flowers will not wither before winter, so there are such flowers everywhere here, and this piece of flower sea makes people look intoxicated.
The village where the white horse was located was not very far from the barracks, less than an hour's road, but it was also a necessary procedure, and along the way, the white horse sat in the carriage and saw that the grasslands here were more abundant than the grasslands passed by one of the roads.
There are not only colorful wild flowers on the grassland, but also a lot of wild leeks, it is not too much to describe it everywhere, this wild leek is the favorite wild vegetable of the war horse, so the war horse in the north is as tall as the strong, strong and majestic, and almost no one can stop it.
"It's down. Ye Feng said, he looked at the dressed white horse and smiled, "You are really lucky, my third sister Ye Wen, she is a good talented girl in the north." ”
"But I'm more than eight years older than her, so am I suspected of eating young grass from old cows?" said Hakuma.
Ye Feng was happy, and picked up a plate of fruits on the carriage, which was filled with sugar and dried fruits fried with noodles, as well as hot buns that had just come out of the pot, as well as the indispensable milk tea, he picked up a dried fruit and threw it into his mouth and chewed: "My sister likes you literati things, literary crepe, whatever, anyway, I don't understand, listen to my eldest sister, at that time my sister knew that she was going to be married to you, she was so happy that she couldn't sleep all night, she was very rare with you." ”
"Then I'm honored. Hakuba said.
According to the tradition here, the preparation of the wedding banquet takes two or three days, so it takes nearly 100 people from distant relatives and neighbors to go into battle, and the division of labor is clear, each with its own responsibilities, preparing, slaughtering, and frying.
Then there is an important job before the wedding, which is to hand-sew the traditional wedding gown for the couple to wear in the coming year, sewing one such gown, about thirty sheepskins, a needle sewing, the robe has to be sewn by a few skilled old people, basically sewn for several days.
Middle-aged women are in charge of making pastries, and in addition to frying dried fruits, they also make an important traditional food on the day of the wedding feast - Babao Rice, which uses a wild fruit called thick plum to make jam, mixed with dried milk, leba, oil cakes, red dates, raisins and other foods, which symbolizes a happy and prosperous life for the newlyweds.
The men are responsible for slaughtering the cattle and sheep, how many sheep are slaughtered, the symbol of the family's wealth, and the preparation of the meat, which begins in the afternoon before the wedding to ensure that the meat is fresh on the wedding day, and the nomads in the north eat meat very directly, because the cattle and sheep are fat and fresh, so they are only boiled in plain water without any seasoning.
Because you hold the meat directly with your hands and cut small pieces with a knife to eat it, it is vividly called hand-handled meat.
Such pre-wedding preparations are in no way inferior to major festivals. The lively and solemn wedding will last from noon to evening, with people laughing, singing and dancing.
Of course, Baima's wedding was not so sumptuous and only prepared for one day, mainly because of the lack of manpower, after all, it was impossible for Captain Ye to mobilize the army to come over to help, so he only invited the villagers from nearby villages to help.
When a set of complicated etiquette, the bride was also sent by carriage, with the blessing of relatives and friends, the two were sent into a huge tent, Ye Wen sat on the edge of the bed, constantly twisting a silk handkerchief, good silk handkerchief, she was twisted everywhere with folds, it can be seen how nervous her heart must be.
It's nervous, after all, it's still a bride.
The experienced white horse, after drinking a few glasses of wine, also gained courage, he came to Ye Wen's side, but he also looked a little restrained, he said: "Ye Wen, that ...... I ......"
"Do you still call me by my name?" Ye Wen chuckled, her laughter soft.
The white horse scratched his head: "That...... Wife. ”
"Well, Xianggong ......," Ye Wen said.
Listening to Ye Wen's voice, Bai Ma gritted his teeth and immediately grabbed Ye Wen's hand, and he said, "Today is our great day...... I also said some things in front, maybe I'm from the Central Plains, you are not used to it, but I have to tell you about me...... I used to have a home, and I still have a ......."
He wanted to explain his past, but Ye Wen put her finger against her lips, and she said gently: "It's all over, now is a new life, I won't be jealous of your past, because I didn't know you at that time, I just want to hold hands with you to spend the days after that." ”
"Wenwen. Bai Ma's heart was moved, and Ye Wen also fell into his arms.
The two snuggled up to each other, and their hearts were also filled with sweetness, Ye Wen said quite shyly: "Turn off the lights......"
As soon as the lights went out, the men and women in the tent unfolded the most primitive rhythm of life, and from today on, the white dragon had a new identity.
Son-in-law of the steppe.
......
Li Hugo, on his side, trekked through mountains and rivers with everyone to a pasture not far from the grassland, and drove 1,800 miles in two days, which was a big project and particularly consumed people's physical strength.
Everyone plans to spend the night here today, and this ranch is called "Heaven and Earth Ranch", which is a fairly famous pasture, where birds and flowers are fragrant, and there are flocks of beasts, which is almost a paradise of escape.
"It's coming!" In the distance, Fan Jian recruited Li Hugo, it turned out that Li Hugo asked him to take the silver and go to the ranch to exchange for food, of course, their army was stationed on the edge of the ranch, and they didn't intend to disturb the tranquility of the ranch.
A sturdy open-top carriage was a four-horse carriage with a lot of meat and vegetables on it, and this carriage was quite exquisite, because there was not only one carriage, but a train carriage, a total of three carriages, each of which had food on it.
The uncle who drove the car said: "Guest, this is the food you want, but the one hundred taels you give is too much, so there is still a car coming, according to your request, I also prepared our own mare's milk wine for the guests." ”
"Thank you. Li Hugo said.
"Haha, you're welcome, but is it really okay for you to spend the night here? It's night, but there are a lot of gray wolves......" The uncle said worriedly.
"We are all from the army, what kind of gray wolf are we afraid of, as long as the gray wolf comes, we will add supper at night and roast wolf meat!" Fan Jian laughed.
