52. Dismount
Liu Ting didn't take the initiative to approach Yanmei, but she couldn't avoid meeting Yanmei. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 The head of the family has married a new wife, and all the wives and children are invited to attend the breakfast the next day to introduce the new members to all the family members. Liu Ting, as Ou Zhu's maid, followed Ou Zhu into the main tent early.
While Liu Ting was helping to set the table under Ou Zhu's command, Tashi was still sleeping on the couch with Yanmei in his arms. This situation is commonplace for the unruly Tiele people. Ou Zhu didn't think there was any problem, and the two people who were sleeping on the couch didn't think there was any problem, and the next person didn't think there was a problem.
But Namel, who came in later, felt that there was a problem.
Sleeping in her husband's arms and watching the others go about their business in the tent was a treat that had been exclusive to Nell until the smoke arrived. Suddenly becoming a character who was caught in the wind and frost, waiting for another woman to get up before she could start eating, Nammel kicked away the wooden stool in front of her with a slightly sullen face.
"It's just a Han person, the head of the family shouldn't give her such dignity." In front of the smoke, Nammel raised her eyebrows and said to Tashi: "The Han people can't even ride horses, and they can't do anything to worship the river god!" Even if you marry her, those who are not capable of worshipping the river god are not worthy of us waiting. ”
The hat of worshipping the river god is very high for the Tiele tribe. From King Tiele to the common people, they didn't dare to be disrespectful. In the eyes of the Tiele people, taming horses, grazing and migrating with the river grass were all ways to worship the river god. But for the Han people who have just entered the Tiele family, which is a big problem. If you can't ride a horse or herd, you are blaspheming the gift of the river god; does not migrate with the river grass, but is greedy for comfort and disappoints the behavior of the river god. The Han people who first entered Tiele can't ride horses, can't graze, and have no habit of migrating, but aren't they guilty of "not being able to worship the river god"?
Nammel talked about the river god, which was regarded as giving Yanmei an unbearable dismount. After all, the king of Tiele did not dare to disrespect the river god.
Not only Liu Ting, but all the people in the tent did not stop their work, but they all quietly paid attention to Tashi's next words. Even Ouzhu, who was sitting on the side fiddling with the saddle, also made the corners of his mouth slightly upturned by bowing his head.
This kind of situation, which is impossible to appear in the Da Wu family's house, really made Yan Mei stunned for a moment. However, questioning in front of the head of the family is nothing in Yanmei's eyes. Yanmei, who has been in contact with the Tiele people, has long understood that there is no way out here, and the Tiele woman has no awareness of "don't look at incivility". Moreover, compared to the fact that the head of the house had a servant shuttling through the tent before he got up, Nammer's questioning was even less worth mentioning.
Rubbing her head against Tashi's chest, Yanmei didn't look at the others in the tent at all, and didn't answer. Tashi, who was questioned, laughed twice and gently pushed the cigarette: "Namel wants to go horseback riding with you." ”
Liu Ting couldn't help but sigh: The man is really a good hand at pounding paste. Nammel clearly talked about the river god and complained that Tashi should not be too nice to the Han Chinese, but the latter offered to let Nammel take the smoke to ride a horse. If you can ride a horse, there is naturally no such thing as not worshiping the river god. So it seems that Yanmei can ride a horse?
Yanmei came back with Tashi on a horse, but the "horseback" in Nameer's mouth and the "horseback riding" that Liu Ting thought of were completely different from being brought back on a horse.
First of all, Yanmei has a horse of her own. Everyone has their own horse, which is tamed by themselves. Unless they were crippled or Hannu, no Tile would want to use a tamed common horse. Yanmei was married into the door by Tashi, so naturally she couldn't ride a public horse to lower her value. Of course, if she didn't understand the reason, Nammel would have been happy to see Yanmei riding on a public horse and being looked down upon by the Tielers.
In the Han nationality, no one would dare to despise a woman who is respected by the head of the family. In Tiele, just being valued by her husband is not respected by others. If she wants to meet Namel's challenge, she will have to pass the horse training level. The problem is that Tieler's horses are good, but they have a wilder temperament, and there are many wild ones that have not been taken off, and even Tiele people dare not approach them lightly. Can Yanmei see what kind of horse is easy to tame and what kind of horse is difficult to subdue?
Liu Ting couldn't help but sweat for Yanmei in her heart. In between serving the dishes, she sneaked a glance at the bed and saw Yanmei get up with a light smile.
"Sister Nammel is taking me for a horseback ride?" Yanmei looked at Nammel as she put on her robe, turned her head and asked Tashi in a soft voice, "But you haven't given me the saddle yet." ”
"You can choose the saddle at home." Tashi sat up and shouted to Ouzhu, "Take her to the saddle after eating." ”
Knowing that she picks the saddle first, Yanmei should not be ignorant of horse taming.
Liu Ting quietly breathed a sigh of relief and stood behind Ou Zhu with her head bowed. After the noisy breakfast that was common in the Tiele family, she followed Ou Zhu and led Yanmei to the warehouse camp. The moment the curtain was lifted, Liu Ting saw Namel standing not far away sneering. She realized that Nameel might have been prepared, just waiting for the smoke to make a fool of herself.
Liu Ting didn't want anything to happen to Yanmei at all. Yanmei was the only key person she had been waiting for for a long time, and it was possible for Ouzhu and Nammel to join forces against Tashi. If Ozhu and Nammel have enough resentment against Yanmei to be willing to transfer it to Tashi, Yanmei must of course have everything go smoothly and their arrogance will be stable over them. Regardless of whether Yanmei really knows how to tame a horse or not, and what tricks Nammel has prepared, Liu Ting doesn't want anything to happen to Yanmei.
But what could she do? Not to mention going to the stable, Liu Ting couldn't leave without Ou Zhu's consent. She didn't dare to talk to Yanmei in front of Ou Zhu, even if Ou Zhu couldn't understand Chinese, she would be wary when she saw what Liu Ting and Yanmei said. How can you quietly remind Yanmei under Ouzhu's nose?
Liu Ting thought about it and walked into the camp. With the humble posture that a Han slave should have, Liu Ting didn't dare to raise her head. Picking up the silk cloth hanging by the tent door, she walked straight to Tashi's saddle. As he began to wipe Tashi's saddle, Ojoo was leading Yanmei to talk in front of the haphazard saddle.
As the first wife, Ou Zhu maintained the justice that the first wife should have. Although he looked down on the Han people in his heart, and also looked down on Yan Mei, who attracted her husband with her weakness, Ou Zhu still pointed to the saddle and said in a flat tone: "The shape of the saddle is similar, only the material is different. The head of the house said that you can choose whatever you want, and you can choose the best material. The better the material, the stronger it is, and the more valuable it is. Speaking of which, sister, you are Han, you should know all kinds of materials better than me, so you can choose for yourself. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Ou Zhu sat on the nearest couch and beckoned to Liu Ting: "Go and bring the brewed tea." ”
