Chapter 256: Choosing a Husband
The sun is in the west, and there is still an hour before the mountain sets, and there are many Tianzhu people outside the Yi camp, all of whom are parents and brothers accompanying their daughters or sisters and sisters.
Yang Congyi came to the center of the camp early and arranged the venue for choosing a husband in advance.
When everything was ready, an order was given, and the unmarried Tianzhu women waiting outside the camp entered the camp one after another, and they were first brought into a barracks and rewarded with beautiful clothes. Then they began to select according to their age, and those who were younger than thirteen years old and more than thirty years old, and were not suitable for marriage, were sent directly out to the camp, leaving only the marriageable women and letting them veil their faces.
On the eve of the setting of the sun, no less than hundreds of marriageable women gathered and waited in the two neighboring barracks, and people from outside the camp came one after another.
When Yang Congyi, who was preparing in the center of the camp, learned the news, his hanging heart suddenly settled down.
Seeing that the hour was approaching, he immediately issued an order to let the 100 sergeants of the Xuanwei Army and the Reserve Army who were waiting to marry their wives quickly come to the center of the camp and form a circle half a step apart. Wait until you are ready to stand in a circle and ask them to hold their name tags in their hands.
After a short time, the Tianzhu women waiting for the marriage wore uniform clothes and veils, and came to the center of the camp in order, entered the encirclement of the soldiers to be married through the open gap, and stood in the circle at will.
They stood in the circle nervously, did not dare to raise their heads at all, and some were a little bold, quietly looked at the men who were standing quietly around, only to see that they were neatly dressed, burly, full of smiles, very gentle, they felt that it was easy to approach, and they couldn't help but be secretly happy. But the vast majority of women don't dare to raise their eyes, they are used to being arranged by fate, rather than choosing their own fate.
As soon as the time came, Yang Congyi walked into the circle with a translator.
He looked at the sergeant he married, and then looked at the woman he married, and was very satisfied, and immediately said loudly: "I am very happy that you have come to participate in the husband selection conference, this is a rare encounter between Da Song and Tianzhu." The men of the Great Song Dynasty are all hardworking and brave, honest and reliable, doting on their wives, reasonable, affectionate and righteous, and taking care of their families. Tianzhu women are beautiful and gentle, hardworking and tenacious, hard-working, loyal to their families and husbands. The Great Song Dynasty man, the Tianzhu woman, this is a match made in heaven. Now Tianzhu women, you can start to choose a husband, choose the man you like, and take down the brand in his hand after choosing, he is your husband. Start choosing a husband! ”
The translator translated Yang Congyi's words sentence by sentence to the Tianzhu women in the circle, and when they heard that they could start choosing a husband, they all stood in place, shy and at a loss.
The whole scene of husband selection was as quiet as an execution ground, no one dared to move, no one dared to speak, everything was still.
Seeing such an embarrassing situation, if the Tianzhu woman doesn't take the initiative, won't she have to choose a husband? Yang Congyi had to shout again: "Start choosing a husband!" ”
Hearing this, a bold woman finally began to walk towards the surrounding sergeants.
The woman slowly approached the sergeant seven feet away, but did not come any further, but quietly looked up at the sergeant in front of her, and saw that the sergeant was either smiling or serious, and all eyes were staring at her, so frightened that she immediately lowered her head. After a while, seeing that the sergeants in front of him did not approach her, nor did they do anything to her, he suddenly became a little bolder, and then raised his head, looked at them with his eyes upright, carefully observed their facial features, observed their bodies, swept his eyes over them one by one, and his feet gradually began to move with his eyes.
The first woman took the lead, and immediately the second and third women quietly raised their heads and looked at the Great Song Sergeant, but the vast majority of them were still in a state of waiting.
All this makes Yang Congyi very uncomfortable, if he continues to rub it like this, it will be dark soon, and he will not be able to smear him when the time comes? But he couldn't do anything to persecute the women, which made him anxious in his heart, but he couldn't do anything about it.
The first woman who chose her husband looked around, and finally took a fancy to a tall and burly sergeant of the Xuanwei Army with a kind face, and cautiously stepped forward and wanted to take the sign from his hand, but her hand was halfway out, and when she saw that the other party did not respond, she immediately withdrew her hand and stood in front of the sergeant and bowed her head.
Seeing this scene happening, Yang Congyi secretly scolded the sergeant for not understanding tenderness, and immediately reminded: "Give her the sign, hold her hand, and stand in place." ”
The sergeant had never seen such a scene of being selected by a woman, and he was flustered, and when he saw the woman stretching out his hand, his heart tightened, and he didn't know what to do. Hearing the loud voice of the prison guard, he woke up like a dream, and hurriedly reached out and handed the sign to the woman.
The woman was secretly sad and ashamed, but when she saw a sign handed over, she slowly raised her eyes to see that it was her husband's in her photo, and her heart was suddenly happy, and she hesitated, and slowly raised her hand to put the sign in her hand.
She just took the sign in her hand, turned around to leave, suddenly felt her hand being grabbed, suddenly screamed, was about to break free, looked back, grabbed her was the husband who had just been picked, and then meekly lowered his head. Pulled back with a slight force by the sergeant, he took a few steps back and stood with the sergeant.
The other sergeants beside him saw it in their eyes and slandered in their hearts, what is so good about this kid, he was actually the first to be picked, everyone was angry, but fortunately, there were many Tianzhu women in the field, and they still had a chance.
The woman who was still watching in place, only daring to take a peek from time to time, saw that someone had picked her husband, and the two stood together hand in hand, which was a very warm and sweet scene, which suddenly aroused their courage to pursue happiness. They boldly raised their heads and looked carefully at the man opposite, and their footsteps moved slowly, little by little, towards them.
Soon after, four more women were elected to the center of the ceremony.
The selected sergeant had learned from the past, as long as the woman was within two feet of the woman, he quickly handed over the sign in his hand, and when the other party took it in his hand, he grabbed her hand, pulled it back to his side, and stood together holding hands, making others envious.
With these pioneers, plus Yang Congyi shouted at the right time: "It's getting dark, hurry up, otherwise you won't be able to see clearly." The woman in the room finally got into action.
If you don't take action, good men will be snatched away by others, and you won't regret it when the time comes!
The Tianzhu women, who gradually overcame their shyness, began to slowly approach the surrounding sergeants, and suddenly several women walked quickly towards the Da Song sergeant in the distance, and two of them actually walked towards a sergeant at the same time.
The sergeant naturally didn't know who to pick, so he only handed the sign in his hand to the two women. The two women looked at each other, and after a moment's pause, one of them reached out and grabbed the sign in front of him, then stepped forward and took the sergeant's hand. Another woman who gave in slightly suddenly lost the man she liked, and seeing the two standing hand in hand, she had to leave lonely and go to find her favorite again.
This brief scene is undoubtedly an inspiring war drum for other women who choose husbands. Remind them that there are not many good men, and if you take a slow step, you will be snatched away by others!
From this moment on, the Tianzhu woman who was waiting for a husband finally put aside her shyness and reserve, quickly approached the sergeants around her, and hurriedly chose her favorite husband.
The decisive woman, after looking at a few moments, quickly moved, took a few steps closer, took the other party's sign, and stood with him holding hands.
And hesitant women, after watching a circle, can not choose the person they like, and when they look around again, they will find that many men have women holding hands around them, the longer they watch, the fewer and fewer objects to choose from, but this is their nature, they are destined to be only chosen, and not others.
After a rush like the wind to rush for the election, there are only a handful of sergeants without female companions, but there are still many Tianzhu women in the field.
In the face of such a scene, they no longer had any room for hesitation, nor did they bother to take a closer look, so they went straight to the sergeants who had not yet been chosen, snatched the signs in their hands, and took them as their own!
The hundred sergeants were divided, and each of them was accompanied by a Tianzhu woman, looking at them, holding hands, as if in a dream.
The women who chose their husbands, although their faces were covered with scarves, they could still see full of happiness in their eyes.
In stark contrast to the women who harvested their husbands, there were dozens of lonely and helpless figures in the field, they were like abandoned orphans, homeless, and they didn't know where to go, so they stood in the field, because they were shy or afraid to gradually gather together, they didn't choose their husbands, they didn't know what they were going to face next, maybe they were beaten and scolded, maybe they were starving, who knows, they can't choose fate, they can only be swayed by fate, obviously they missed the opportunity to choose fate.
One hundred couples held hands in pairs, Yang Congyi was happy, and immediately announced loudly: "This is the end of the husband election conference." Limited by the conditions in the army, everything is simple, hundreds of couples hold hands, skin to skin, and the wedding ceremony is completed. From now on, the man you hold in your hands is your wife and your husband. Congratulations to all the newlyweds for giving birth to a noble son, and the earth will last forever! ”
"Thank you, sir!" A sergeant who had married his wife excitedly thanked him.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you for your success! Thank you for your success! Immediately, all the sergeants thanked him three times, and the shouts in the camp shook the sky.
"Okay, save some effort, let's go into the cave room quickly!"
Yang Congyi shouted, and immediately a sergeant led a pair of newcomers towards the sea boat.
The newcomers were impatient to go to the cave room, and the field was empty in an instant, leaving only dozens of Tianzhu women who were at a loss to stand in place.
The marriage was done, everything went well, Yang Congyi was very happy, turned his head and saw that there were still so many women in the field, and he was about to take advantage of the fact that it was not dark to drive them out of the camp, but he heard those women start to tell him something.
Without waiting for instructions, the interpreter immediately said, "My lord, they said that if they go back, they will definitely not have a good day." They don't want to go back, so please take them in. ”
Don't want to go? But the quota is full, I'm afraid I can't help them. I was about to refuse, but suddenly I thought of something, so I replied: "Ask them if they would like to go with us, stay if they want, and leave if they don't." ”
The translator immediately told Yang Congyi's meaning to the Tianzhu woman who didn't want to leave.
After discussing it for a while, they came to a decision.
"Call the entire military battalion commander here, there is a big matter to discuss!"
