Chapter 443: Mongolian Wedding

In the end, Tian Khan sighed, shook his head and said, "The female is not in the middle!" That's it, since the two of you have experienced the test of life and death, and both of you have saved each other's lives, it can be regarded as seeing the truth in each other's tribulations. Doesn't it seem like I'm too stingy if I don't approve of the marriage between the two of you? ”

"Father Khan, then don't you blame Jiang Ge?"

"Of course I can't help but blame him, and I will punish him for taking good care of my baby daughter for the rest of my life!" Tian Khan said with a serious face.

Princess Siqin was relieved when she heard this, her father Khan was not really blaming Jiang Ge but entrusting himself to him. It's just that he was in the way of Tian Khan's face, so he took this opportunity to find himself under the stairs.

"Don't hurry up and promise Tian Khan, what are you doing stupid boy!" Jiang's mother really can't wait to help her son agree, why is her son so good, but he is a dead brain who doesn't know how to be flexible, if he wasn't lucky enough to meet Princess Siqin, he wouldn't know where to find such a good girl.

"Ah, oh, everything is under the hands of Tian Khan, Jiang Ge will definitely not let you down." Jiang Ge knelt in front of the Heavenly Khan and replied respectfully.

"Daughter, what's so good about this stupid boy for you to treat him like this, if I were you, I would have kicked him away when I met such a dumb boy, how could I let him talk to me like this here. It seems that this is really the fate between the two of you! He saved your life, and you saved his life. I don't have anything to say as a father, I just hope that he can fulfill his promise and treat you well in the future, if he has any second heart for you, I will never spare him! Tian Khan said as he pulled his daughter aside.

"No, Dad, Brother Jiang is not such a person, if he has two hearts for me in the future, then it must be that I am not good enough for him to dislike me, it should be that I need to find my own problems."

Who said that a woman in love is not blind, Princess Siqin's love for Jiang Ge now is no longer something that others can pry into in a few words, so Tian Khan just shook his head and couldn't interfere more. Fortunately, he knew that Jiang Ge was indeed a rare talent, and the little red horse was also the first to be subdued by him, and he was qualified to marry his daughter, if he was not allowed to be a concubine, it would be really difficult to convince the public.

After that, Jiang Ge was taken by Tian Khan's subordinate Agoura by Jiang Ge to observe their Mongol army, as the son-in-law of Tian Khan, the first thing to do must be to understand his own strength, and to train him to become a Mongol general. Jiang Ge also became the candidate in the mind of Tian Khan without exception. Jiang Ge knew the intentions of Tian Khan, but for the sake of Princess Siqin, he did not resist and went to the Mongolian military camp with Agoura. Princess Siqin was dusty along the way, so she first retreated to her palace to bathe and change clothes.

In the main hall, Tian Khan and Jiang Mu were left to discuss how to handle the marriage of these two dolls. "Old sister, how do you think the marriage of these two children should be handled?" Tian Khan asked Jiang Mu very politely.

Although Jiang Mu was blind and couldn't see Tian Khan's appearance clearly, she knew from the relationship just now that this Tian Khan should not be an idle person, his conversation was extraordinary, and he did not have the slightest disdain for himself, and his tone was very humble.

Mother Jiang is also a good family upbringing, and she will not say many rules, but said politely: "Everything is according to the customs, I don't know what customs you have on the Mongolian side." Since Jiang Ge and Xiaoqin are both married in Mongolia, it must be done in your way. ”

Seeing that Jiang's mother let her say her thoughts, Tian Khan also said bluntly: "According to our Mongolian marriage customs, young men and women should choose an auspicious day when they get married, and the man should give a bride price to the woman's family. The bride price includes cash, clothes, cloth, jewelry, rice, etc. Of course, I naturally won't let Jiang Ge come out of these things, and I will contract everything. ”

"This can't be done, how can Princess Siqin marry so wronged. Although our Jiang family is not as wealthy as before, but this time my son has a meritorious service, and Queen Xiang also rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver treasures and real estate deeds. Tian Khan, don't think that I am deliberately carrying it with you, this is also a little bit of my heart and Jiang Ge's heart, you must accept it. ”

Seeing that Jiang Mu was so persistent, Tian Khan was embarrassed to refuse anymore, and he continued: "......"

The first is to ask for marriage: "If you ask more, you will be expensive, and if you ask less, you will be cheap", as young men and women, Jiang Ge and Princess Siqin must ask the woman for marriage before they are married, and only with the consent of the woman's family can they be married. However, according to the traditional customs of the Mongolian people, the man must ask the woman's family many times to get the woman's promise. According to the first volume of the "Secret History of the Mongols", it is also time to lead his son Temujin (i.e., Genghis Khan) to the Dexue Chan family to seek marriage. Dexue Chan said: "Ask for it a few more times before you give it, and you will be respected; If you ask for it a few times, you will give it, and you will be despised. Therefore, later in the Mongolian people, the concept of "asking for more is expensive, and asking less is cheap" was formed.

The next step is to make a marriage: Hada, milk wine, and sheep five forks "make a decision", and after the marriage agreement is reached, the man needs to bring Hada, milk wine, and sheep five forks or the whole sheep to the woman's house to "make a decision". The woman's family will invite relatives and friends to accompany the guests to drink together to express the formal marriage.

Then there is the selection of the day: the lama divination chooses the auspicious day, in the traditional Mongolian marriage customs, after the man and woman are married, they must first ask the lama to divination, choose the auspicious day, and determine the marriage date. After the auspicious date is chosen, the man's family sends a matchmaker and relatives and friends to bring gifts such as hata, wine, and candy to the woman's house to discuss the marriage with her parents. After the negotiation, the man and woman began to prepare for the marriage. Generally, it is to clean the wedding house, or build a new yurt, slaughter cattle and sheep, prepare dowry, dowry and other wedding supplies, and notify relatives and friends of both parties to come to congratulate them.

Then there is the next hiring: cattle, horses, sheep, jewelry, clothing for the hiring, young men and women after the marriage, the man's family to the woman's family to give a dowry, also called a bride price. The amount of the dowry depends on the financial situation of the man's family. In pastoral areas, cattle, horses, sheep and other livestock are often used as dowry gifts, while in rural areas, gold and silver jewelry, cabinets, and clothing are mostly used as bridal gifts.

Because the number of dowries to be prepared for marriage is greater than the number of dowry, the Mongolian people are very particular about the dowry, according to the Mongolian marriage customs, the man gives as much dowry, the woman must accompany the corresponding amount of dowry. It is usually the woman's dowry that gives more things than the man to the woman's family. Therefore, there is a popular saying among the Mongolian people: "You can afford to marry a daughter-in-law, but you can't afford to hire a girl." Of course, as the only king of Mongolia, Tian Khan has no trouble in this regard.
