Chapter 245: The Dinner Party
Because Buhe had not yet returned, Xiaohu and the others rested in the tent prepared for them by Bayar and Batu, and did not go directly to the noon banquet of the clan king's family.
Although the herdsmen don't care about so much etiquette, the Han people in the Central Plains, as a state of etiquette, know that it is quite inappropriate to go to a banquet without the invitation of the main family. If your status is higher than that of the other party, it can be said that you are courteous to others, and you can pass on your reputation. But an identity like Xiaohu is in front of the king of the human family, so forget it!
The herdsmen's feasts are not like those of the Han Chinese, who only eat and drink. There are many programs, singing, dancing, drumming, and playing the violin around the bonfire at night, and wrestling, horse racing, jousting, and competition during the day. Bayar and Batu originally wanted to invite Xiaohu and a few young men to go out for horse racing and martial arts competitions, but when they saw that Xiaohu was very tired and obviously wanted to rest, they swallowed back the words that were about to be exported.
When the sun set over the plains, Buhe's convoy with his new daughter-in-law returned. Their marriage is considered a marriage between two tribes, so most of them follow the etiquette passed down from the Central Plains.
The alien race failed in its rule in the Central Plains, and their nobles who were driven back concluded why they had failed. The biggest conclusion they came to was that they did not rule them according to the traditions of the Central Plains, which made them ostracized and incompatible with the Central Plains people everywhere. Therefore, during their rule in the Central Plains, they maintained their customs everywhere, and when they returned to the grassland, they imitated the etiquette of the Han people in the Central Plains everywhere.
The herdsmen of the north and the south are already connected, and the nobles of the southern herdsmen have something new, and the nobles of the northern herdsmen are not far behind, and they quickly pay attention to the etiquette of the Central Plains. Perhaps future generations will question their summary of defeats, but after another alien race occupied the Central Plains, they did implement political rule according to these summed up experiences, and it was also very coincidental that they successfully ruled the Central Plains for more than 200 years.
Ay! It's a little far, and it's also about the marriage etiquette of Buhe. Buhe's father changed the original custom for his son - robbery marriage, and adopted a dowry similar to that of the Central Plains, with dowry, dowry, greeting, sending, worshipping heaven and earth, returning to the door, and going to the ancestral tomb. Of course, there are also some things that they themselves cannot discard, blended together.
starred in the whole process of Buhe after this unique wedding, and missed the Xiaohu brothers in the Central Plains even more, with this wedding, he felt that he was much closer to them.
When Bu He, who followed his daughter-in-law back to his home, heard that Xiaohu was coming, he left his bride and ran to Xiaohu's tent excitedly.
"Little Tiger! I was thinking about you, and you came. Come join us for a bonfire in the evening! ”
Xiaohu, who had slept well, was playing chess with Mr. Chen, and when he saw Bu He running in, he looked at him with a smile, and when he invited himself, he took advantage of the situation and took the two pieces of silk that he had finally picked out and handed them to Bu He: "Bu He, this is a congratulatory gift for you!" Wishing you happiness! "Xiaohu didn't know how to say 'happiness' in Mongolian, so he had to say it in Chinese, and he didn't care if Buhe could understand it or not.
Li Darttou couldn't bear the two of them looking at each other like the two fools, so he kindly explained the meaning of Xiaohu to Buhe. Bu Hele smiled, happily took the silk that Xiaohu was going to give him, and said, "Then I'll go back first, and when the bonfire is set up when it's dark, I'll come and call you." ”
Who knew that after a while, Buhe came over with two pieces of silk and said to Xiaohu: "You keep this for change, if you have muslin, get me two muslin!" ”
Xiaohu thought that the cloth was polite, and felt that the silk was too valuable, so he hurriedly refused, "You just take the silk, the muslin is not worth a few dollars, and it is not good to make a congratulatory gift for you!" ”
Buhe explained for a long time, and Xiaohu understood what he meant, it turned out that Buhe's new daughter-in-law wanted muslin to make small clothes for close wear. This is not a trivial matter, Xiaohu hurriedly went to find two light-colored muslin, together with the satin to Buhe, let him take it back, but Buhe hugged the muslin, and did not want satin. Xiaohu had no choice but to forget it. By the way, he promised a few catties of good tea to Bu He and his father last year, and also asked Bu He to bring it back.
It was dark, and they couldn't sit still in the tent around the small oil lamps like soybeans, so they went out for a stroll. When I walked to the site of the herdsmen's bonfire, I saw that they were busy setting up firewood, and they all stopped with interest and watched with great interest.
The firewood piles set up by the herders are very different from the firewood piles they usually use in the fields to build firewood in a mess. Before the pyre is erected, an iron tripod or circular shelf is placed, and the firewood half a person or one person high is reclined upright on the iron shelf, and the firewood is formed in a circle or triangle around the iron shelf, and the middle is also hollowed.
This firewood pile is piled up by the herdsmen who pile firewood beautifully, it is round, the middle is high and the circumference is low, like the flower bones of a moon flower. When it was getting dark, the feasters all came from their resting places. It wasn't until Buhe's father also sat on the throne that someone poured a bowl of oil on the top of the pyre, and set the torch in his hand on the top of the pyre. Then it soared, becoming bigger and taller, and the colors became blue, white, yellow, and red, with different layers.
Xiaohu and a few of them couldn't enjoy watching it, and they didn't dare to get started, so they could only jump straight behind other people's butts. Buhe and Bayar were looking for people everywhere but couldn't find them, and they were also anxious and full of anger.
Buhe couldn't find Xiaohu and them, so he had to hurry back to the campfire, because his wedding banquet was still in the middle of three days, and he and the bride could not be absent from these three days. When he returned to his seat and watched a group of people skewering around the fire, he realized that it was Xiaohu and his party who were too excited to play with fire.
Hurriedly sent someone to call Bayar and them back who were looking for someone, and at the same time went down the field and invited Xiaohu and them to the seats specially prepared for them.
Although Buhe's father is also very enthusiastic about Xiaohu and Chen Dagongzi, compared with his pro-Li Darttou, you can know that among these people, he really looks up to Li Darthead. Xiaohu and Chen Dagongzi are both people with a generous mentality, whether they understand this point or not, they don't take it to heart, drink and eat meat according to everyone's rhythm, and say blessings to Buhe and his bride.
After everyone drank only two laps of wine, some people walked off the case, pulled the people around them to dance and sing, and some even picked up the small drum and played while dancing. Some people sitting in the seats also played the ponytail, and sang with a melodious tone, which was refreshing. Compared with the lion dance and flower boat specially invited by Xiaohu's family, it is more energetic and interesting. He looked at it, and he had an urge to dance and sing with the crowd, even Chen Dagongzi couldn't sit still, looking at Xiaohu's ass swinging from side to side and humming quietly in his mouth, he asked in a low voice, "Or let's go down and dance for a while?" ”
Xiaohu is very excited, but! He was embarrassed and said, "I can't jump!" Batuu, who was sitting next to him, was trying to go down and jump two laps to warm up. He listened to what Xiaohu whispered to Chen Dagongzi, so he stretched out his head and said to them, "Let's go!" It doesn't matter if you can't jump or not, just follow me to lift your legs and put your feet. Don't take it too seriously, just think of it as a hot body! ”
Although it is not yet time for heavy snow this season, it is not pleasant to be dry and cold. Xiaohu really feels that this foot is a little frozen, and he is already a little tempted, a little 'bad man can't hear the ghost call'! of the moment. So he didn't say a word of nonsense, and directly pulled Chen Dagongzi to follow Batu down to the crowd of crazy demons dancing around the fire, and followed the fangs and claws, and the random forks and forks were pulled. If Er Ya saw it, he would definitely say that he was practicing witchcraft in South Africa!
Buhe doesn't know why, he especially likes to follow Xiaohu behind, and when he saw Xiaohu get off the field, stretching out his arms and kicking his legs, he had already itched to go down, but he and the bride hadn't finished the salute in a circle, and he really couldn't leave the guests to go down by himself, so he had to be patient and wait for the bride to sing the toast song and immediately toast neatly. Finally, after a lap, they could shake off the field and jump for a while, but Xiaohu and they were tired of jumping again and returned to their seats to rest. The depressed Buhe had no choice but to pull his new daughter-in-law and follow the crowd around the fire to dance the simplest circle dance.
Xiaohu slept a little too much during the day, and played without restraint at night, until all the people left, and a group of people who hurriedly put out the fire and packed up the utensils left, and they returned to the tent unsatisfied.
Li Bangtou had already returned to the tent to rest, he hadn't slept yet, and when he saw the little tigers who were still excited, he asked curiously: "It's not like you haven't participated in their bonfire banquet in previous years, why are you so excited today?" ”
Chen Dagongzi is a more rational person, why Xiaohu is so happy today, he doesn't know, but he understands why he is very clear: "Those times were either because I was not in good health, or the situation was not right, everyone was unhappy with something, and they couldn't play if they wanted to." I rested for most of the day today, and I didn't have anything to worry about, so of course I was able to have fun. What, are you upset today? ”
Li Darttou smiled and shook his head, "What am I unhappy about!" It's just that I've never seen you and Xiaohu so happy as today, and it's amazing that you would go down and dance with them! ”
Xiaohu laughed on the side, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Li, I don't know what's going on, I used to watch them dancing and singing, and I listened to them, but I didn't understand them anyway." I don't know what's going on this time, but I want to dance when I see them dancing, and I want to sing when I hear them sing. Later, when Batu persuaded me again, I couldn't help but go down with him, and I raised my legs and stretched my feet in a mess. Eldest brother! I'm dancing ugly, isn't it? ”
Li Darttou hit him funny: "Hmm! It's not very good-looking, and people who don't know see you like that, and they think that you can't climb up after falling into the river! ”
"Ahh Xiaohu raised his hands to cover his face and screamed. "I'll never jump again!"
Chen Dagongzi also cautiously asked Li Darttou, "What about me?" ”
Li Darttou seemed to be addicted to hitting people, and replied to Chen Dagongzi with a smile: "You! It's a bit like taking a bath, the tub is so small that you can't stand on your feet together, and you always have to fall. ”
Chen Dagongzi looked at Li Dart's head suspiciously, and only after half a sound did he ask, "Are you jealous of our jump?!" ”R1152
