The grassland sun in June was very poisonous, and after staying at the door for such a short time, everyone had already seen fine sweat, so Ma Yan beckoned his parents to enter the house, and turned back to Zhao Yili and said:

"Stone, you just follow me and call Abba and Grandma, otherwise the name is too long, I'm afraid you won't remember, hehehehe!"

The sound of bell-like laughter was heard by the wind far away in the open grassland.

Ma Yan's father and his wife reacted at this time, blocking the guests and not letting them in, which was indeed a bit rude, so they nodded hurriedly, and Lian Sheng said okay, just call it that.

This also ended the first observation of the little test, judging from the reaction of the two people who nodded slightly after glancing at each other, the first impression of Zhao Yili was relatively satisfied.

Abba drove the sheep to the backyard first, and Zhao Yili opened the trunk of the car, and the big bags and small bags were moved out, and Ma Yan's aunt couldn't close her mouth.

It's not that grandma likes to accept gifts, the rule on the grassland is that even if the guests come empty-handed, they are friends of the grassland people and will be warmly received, but if you come with gifts, it means that you are a better friend.

Always have to entertain the original guests wholeheartedly, at this point, in the more than 20 years since marrying the grassland, Grandma has long been used to it, and she herself has regarded herself as a complete grassland person.

Zhao Yili followed the guidance of his grandmother, and placed the boxes containing gifts in an empty room in an orderly manner one by one, and after cleaning his hands, Zhao Yili began to look at the decoration of this room.

Obviously, even if the house was built in the Han method, the exterior and interior of the house on the grassland were still slightly different from the Han houses, just as he looked at and studied the interior of the room, which was obviously very different from the Han style. A large bowl of warm mare's milk wine was brought out by the girl Ma Yan who had changed into a Mongolian costume, with a long sky-blue Hada above her two arms, looking at Zhao Yili with a smile, and handed it over straightforwardly.

Not far away, Ma Yan's father and aunt also looked at him with a smile, it seems that this is a special etiquette for Mongolian people to welcome guests from afar.

Zhao Yili didn't know whether to take Hada or the wine bowl first, and when he was hesitating, he heard Ma Yan's crisp voice whispering:

"Stupid. Get the wine first! Then drink as much as you can, don't be reckless, this wine is very strong! ”

Since he took the wine first, and he had to drink it in person, Zhao Yili had a mental count, and after taking the bowl of wine, he saw Ma Yan take off the hada on his arm again, affectionately pulled Zhao Yili's wrist, and directly tied the five-foot-long hada to Zhao Yili's wrist. Then he waited for a pair of charming big eyes, just looked at Zhao Yili like this, and then said sweetly with an emphasis that Zhao Yili had never heard:

"Distinguished guests. Welcome to the beautiful grassland! ”

Zhao Yili was a little dazed at this time, he really hadn't thought about how to deal with the etiquette of the Mongolian people before he came, thinking that Ma Yan was there anyway. I can't look at my own jokes, but this girl is actually at this time. is also funny with himself, thinking that he has to watch his own troubles from time to time, and he is really naughty enough.

In fact, Ma Yan does have his own careful thoughts, the mare's milk wine originally given to the guests will not be as big as today's bowl, it is Ma Yan who temporarily took the big bowl of sheep soup on the usual table, in order to let his parents see the boldness of the person he likes.

Sure enough, Zhao Yili was heartbroken, moved his wrist, picked up the bowl of wine, leaned his neck and drank it in a few sips, and the sky-blue Hada hung down on his chest, not even a drop of wine was spilled, you can see how seriously this guy drank this bowl of wine.

In fact, the way to drink the first bowl of wine on the grassland is indeed a bit exquisite.

After arriving on the grassland, for the mare's milk wine brought out by the host's house, as a guest, he should immediately catch the wine, and then drink it if he can, and taste a little if he can't drink it, and then return the wine to the master. If you push, push, pull, pull, and don't drink, you will be considered to look down on the master, unwilling to meet with sincerity, and so on.

At this time, Zhao Yili actually drank it all, and Ma Yan's father and aunt immediately added an impression to Zhao Yili in his heart.

This young man is a very cheerful person.

Zhao Yili thought that this Abba and Aunt would immediately chat with him and understand his own situation, but he didn't expect that just after sitting for a while, the two of them went out together very tacitly, let their daughter stay here to greet guests, and went out to get busy.

Zhao Yili was a little puzzled, so he asked:

"Strange, what are they doing?"

Ma Yan sat down next to him, gave him a blank look, and said:

"This doesn't need to be asked, even if it is an ordinary guest, it must be entertained, not to mention you, Abba and Aunt seem to be quite satisfied with you, and you must have slaughtered sheep."

Zhao Yili scratched his head and continued:

"I know this, but why don't they talk to me about family matters or something, and they don't ask me any details, and they are happy with me? Isn't it hasty? ”

"Come on, we grassland people are not like you Han people, we have our own set of methods on the grassland, besides, even if you know who your surname is, where your home is, who you are, what you are good at, what your preferences are, and what can you do, can these ensure that you will be good to me for the rest of your life? Can't!

"Therefore, people here make friends based on character and action, not on your external things, of course, if you want to cheat their daughter away, you still need to get a few animals as a bride price."

"How many animals? Oh, tell me, how many cows do I need to bring in to marry you? ”

Ma Yan saw Zhao Yili's narrow smile at this time, but he didn't pat him or have a brain break like usual, but said seriously:

"Our people's wedding customs are very interesting, and there are much more lively content than your wedding customs, generally speaking, the amount of the bride price (that is, the bride price) depends on the economic situation of your man's family. If it is in the agricultural area, gold and silver jewelry, cabinets, and clothes are mostly used as dowry gifts; In pastoral areas, cattle and horses are often used as dowry gifts. Think we belong to the herdsmen, we put "nine" as an auspicious number, the dowry to "nine" as the starting point, from "nine" to "ninety-nine", at most not more than eighty-one, take "ninety-nine" for the meaning of longevity.

"Of course, if you are poor and can't afford to get a bride price of eighty-one heads, you can also choose a smaller odd number as a bride price, but no matter which number you choose, it can't be an even number, otherwise it will be unlucky."

"Ah, and all these things!"

Zhao Yili vaguely remembers a movie that he used to like very much, it seems to be about a group of Shaolin lay disciples, if they want to please their wives, they must first save nine cows before they can make a dowry, but I didn't expect the Mongolian side to have the same custom, it seems that I really know too little.

Ma Yan got up at this time and completely opened the windows of the room, but the wind blowing in from outside was also hot, and the ventilation effect of the tiled house structure of this kind of settlement was much different from that of the yurt in winter and cool in summer.

Thinking of this, Ma Yan suddenly took Zhao Yili's hand, ran out of the door with him, and went straight to the southwest.

Soon the two men came to the door of a six-leaf yurt with a 12-foot roof and a wall about 5 feet high, facing southeast. Raised his hand and opened the door of the bag, but in the middle of the eye was a medium-sized portrait, although Zhao Yili was not familiar with it, but even if he was a fool, when he entered the yurt, he could guess that this was the portrait of Temujin who was respected as Genghis Khan.

Because the screen is isolated, Ma Yan took him to visit one by one, this yurt is the one that accompanied Ma Yan since he was a child, it is very well preserved, there has been no major damage, and it has been preserved to this day, on the other hand, it must not be said, maybe it is the abba who gradually distances away from the children around him.

Bypassing the screen at the door, the space inside is also very wide, it seems that the minimum space of this yurt is more than 80 square meters, and there are vents on the upper and lower sides, so after entering the yurt, the whole person is instantly cool several degrees, which is really calm and naturally cool!

And what Zhao Yili was even more surprised was that he saw a family photo on the inside of a screen, and saw that in that group photo, beside Ma Yan, there was a young man who looked very familiar!

Who is this man? We'll have a breakdown later.

(To be continued.) )

PS: Bypassing the screen at the door, the space inside is also very wide, it seems that the minimum space of this yurt is more than 80 square meters, and there are vents on the upper and lower sides, so after entering the yurt, the whole person is instantly cool several degrees, which is really calm and naturally cool!

So, who could this person be? We'll have a breakdown later.
