Chapter 113 [Robbing Relatives (Medium)]
(Daily Xie Dameng, Zhao Wuxian 2014)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Just ten miles southeast of Husu City, Tang was on the waterside, and Ma Han saw Su Fuyan and Datou father and son surrounded by all the horses.
As soon as they met, Su Fuyan laughed and got off the horse, and stretched out his arms to Ma Han: "Say goodbye to Rao Le Waterside, you will be one year old in a blink of an eye, it's great to see Ma Jun again!" β
"I'm also very happy to see the King of Cliffs, and I'm even more grateful that King Cliffs didn't have winged Xianbei people at the beginning, so we have today's meeting." Ma Han also dismounted and smiled and bowed to Su Fuyan.
Su Fuyan's outstretched arm stiffened for a moment, then he laughed, stepped forward to support Ma Han's shoulders, and laughed while patting, so enthusiastic that he couldn't speak. I don't know, I thought they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, but in fact, the two had only been friends on one side, and they hadn't said a few words in total, and they had been separated by a whole year.
At the beginning, on the shore of Raole Water, Kebi was able to gather 4,000 cavalry from Xianbei and Karasuma to chase and kill Ma Han, and a considerable number of forces did not participate, such as Louban, Su Muyan and other powerful people in Karasuma in the three counties. Lou Ban had a good impression of Ma Han, while Su Fuyan felt that it was too challenging for thousands of people to kill a dozen people, and it was not beneficial, plus he was quite bad with Wu Yan, and Lou Ban was against it, so in the end he did not send troops to help.
Originally, I thought that this was a matter of ten fingers pinching the snail - nine out of ten, but I never expected that the final result of the incident would be a fiasco for Kebineng, from himself to the entire tribe was hit hard, directly leading to the decline of a powerful tribe. This incident completely subverted Su Muyan's experience and common sense, and it also made him secretly glad that he had made the right decision in the first place.
However, Su Muyan scoffed at the "myth" that Ma Han was alone and had an enemy of 4,000 in Mobei, and he thought that the most likely thing was that there was an ambush hidden on Baizhang Gorge, because according to his inquiries afterwards, all the soldiers who participated in the battle of the canyon and survived said it. The enemy's arrows were so fast and fierce that they didn't look like they were shot by a man or a bow. Judging from experience, at least a dozen strong archers will fire at the same time to have such an effect.
Although Su Muyan did not believe that Ma Han's bravery was as terrifying as the outside world had rumored, he absolutely recognized the combat effectiveness of Ma Han and his subordinates. No matter how many ambushes there were on the Baizhang Gorge at the beginning, whether they were fifty or a hundred, they could defeat dozens of times the enemy, and this strength was enough to win the respect of any tribe.
It is this respect for strength that makes Su Fuyan not bring any weapons. The horseman, who had come with only one attendant, went out to meet him in person, and set up a banquet in the king's tent to entertain him.
The king's tent set up a banquet, and of course the ordinary entourage was not qualified to sit down, but Ma Han immediately pointed out the identity of the entourage, which was the military marquis Zhou Cang under his command, which was equivalent to the thousand chiefs of the Karasuma department's account, and was indeed qualified to enter the account.
After taking their seats, the first thing is a group of Karasuma girls singing and dancing. to welcome the guests. Among them is a girl with a round face and big breasts, intentionally or unintentionally, dancing in front of the horse from time to time, with two large waves on her chest. looked at Zhou Cang straight.
Su Fuyan has always paid attention to Ma Han's expression, but unfortunately no matter how he looks at it, he can't see the slightest fluctuation of desire on Ma Han's face or eyes, which makes Su Muyan not disappointed.
After a series of high-standard greetings of singing and dancing, saluting pulp, cleaning hands, and dividing sheep. The host and guest are seated.
Su Fuyan first saluted a bowl of buttermilk, and after leaning his neck to drink, he smacked his lips. Straight shook his head: "I am waiting here for jade pulp and delicacies, but more than 100 of Ma Jun's subordinates are outside to satisfy their hunger with dry food, and if it is spread out, they will be made fun of our clan by other departments, thinking that I Su Fuyan does not understand hospitality...... Ma Jun, can you please come with your ministry and enter my tent, and I will treat him with buttermilk cattle and sheep. β
Ma Han smiled and refused: "There are many carriages accompanying him, all of which are gifts to Liaodong Taishou, in order to prevent mistakes, the guards must not leave their posts without permission, and the king of Qiaomei received it." β
When Su Fuyan heard this, his face suddenly became ugly, and he was displeased: "This radius of three hundred miles is the boundary of my department, and no one who dares to rob here, doesn't Ma Jun think that I Su Fuyan is not worthy of trust?" β
Ma Han arched his hand and said: "I can't hide it, I will meet a friend on the right road, describe it as a wolf, and the owner and property that he guards are all plundered by robbers, and he is even hunted down, and his life is almost lost." Therefore, I have to be careful, and I hope that the king of the cliff will understand. β
As soon as he heard this, the answer who was sitting opposite Ma Han changed color: "The warrior of my tent was really killed by you!" Ma Jinglong, being so arrogant in my department, is it too long? β
Zhou Cang heard that since he entered the account, the action of cutting meat that has been non-stop finally stopped, and he shook the meat cleaver in his hand, his big mouth still kept chewing, his bull's eyes were wide open, and he stared at the answer head provocatively.
Answer: How can the head withstand such a teasing, grab the meat cleaver and want to stand up.
"Bang!" Su Fuyan struck a few hard blows, and was furious, "Answer, what are you going to do?" If you say anything more disrespectful, get out of here. β
There was a commotion in the king's tent, and a group of big-shouldered and round-waisted knife and axe hands immediately poured in outside, staring at Ma Han and Zhou Cang with fierce light, and they were about to attack.
"Get out! Get out of here! Disturb your guests, I have skinned you! Su Fuyan slapped the case loudly, and the group of knife and axe men hurriedly lowered the knife and axe in their hands, bent down and retreated.
reprimanded his son and drank back the knife and axe, Su Fuyan turned his head and apologized to Ma Han again and again, only to find that the two distinguished guests were evaluating the food on the case.
"This meat is good, tender and delicious, the meat is bloodshot, at most it is only medium-rare, and it is a good lamb chop."
"It's good, but it smells a little bigger...... Uh, Castle Guard, what do you mean by 'lamb chop'? β
"Oh, that's a delicacy for the people of the Far West."
"Far West? Is it Daqin? Before I came, I heard the little lady of the Ma family boast that her Ma family had the descendants of the Great Qin people in the country of the extreme west. β
"Well, she's talking about Rome...... Well, it seems that there is a saying in later generations that there are descendants of Romans in the Ma family's army, but this is true......"
"What did the city guard say, it's too noisy here, I didn't hear clearly."
"Ah, it's okay, it's a little noisy......"
At the same time as the king tent staged a knife and axe play, the topics of Ma Han and Zhou Cang have changed from food, to geography, to history, whether it is depth or breadth, they are all remarkable. It wasn't until the king's tent was quiet again that Ma Han apologized to Su Fuyan and said, "I just discussed it with my subordinates, and if there is rudeness, please don't blame King Qiao." β
Su Fuyan was speechless. After a long time, there was a burst of laughter, and the voice buzzed in the nearly 100-square-meter royal tent: "Hahahaha!" It's the king who is rude. Ma Jinglong is no one, thousands of troops and horses are idle, how can they put a mere knife and axe hand in their eyes. This Marquis of Zhou is also very good, and he is really a real hero. β
Su Fuyan saw that he could not lure the white wolf cavalry into his tent, nor could he use his sword and axe to deter the horsemen, so it was the best choice to open the skylight and speak brightly for this kind of guy who was soft and hard.
"A rabbit can't escape an eagle's eye, and a flock can't escape a hound's nose. The wrangler's eyes can't rub the sand, Ma Jun is on this trip, but he came for the Zhen family's dowry? β
Ma Han said bluntly: "As a person, I also came for makeup." β
The answer head laughed proudly: "You're late, whoever grabs the kiss is whoever starts quickly." β
"Kissing?" Ma was stunned for a moment, didn't he say robbery, how did it become robbery?
"That's right, it's a kiss." The smug look in the eyes of the head of the answer became stronger, "Ma Jun once built a tent and a village at the foot of Baitan Mountain and on the shore of the wet water. is also half a grassland person, so he must not know this old grassland custom, right? β
Zhou Cang was so confused that he even forgot to chew, but Ma Han understood. He really knew about this robbery, and he knew it in modern times, when he had not yet become half a steppe person. This is also thanks to the famous Genghis Khan.
As long as you know a little about the early experience of this prairie Tianjiao, it is easy to know. Temujin's mother, Ha Erlun, was snatched by his father from the Mir'er Beggars on his way to the bridal journey. In the same way, Temujin's Yuan Pei Erti was later robbed by the Miri beggar, and when he was recaptured. The belly is big. Therefore, there is a theory that Temujin's eldest son, Jochi, was not his own son.
The marriage robbery system was once popular in the Mongolian people, which is of course not unique to the Mongolian people, but has a long history, and the emergence of this system is naturally related to the Mobei grassland region. Mainly because of the vast nomadic areas of Mongolia, and the Mongolian people practice the extra-clan marriage system, men often have to go to hundreds of miles or even thousands of miles away from the clan to find, it is very difficult, so if a woman of appropriate age is found in the process of nomadism, often in line with the principle of "rather kill the wrong than let go", directly start to rob, they will give this behavior a warm name - "robbing relatives".
Since this kind of behavior is produced by regional rather than national, it is enough to show that all the peoples who live in this grassland will inevitably have this kind of behavior, but these peoples have disappeared one after another, so their marriage customs are mostly unknown to later generations.
Whether it is the Karasuma people or the Xianbei people, they are not the same as Cheng dΓΉcun zΓ i to grab relatives. The Karasuma people are a little better, since they were attached to the Han Dynasty, they migrated to the counties of Youzhou, and the tribes were much closer to each other, and it was much easier to intermarry, and the custom of robbing relatives gradually faded - this is a typical demand for needs. Only the Xianbei people are still messing around in the endless prairie, and their robbing of relatives is much stricter.
When Ma Han was establishing Hange Village, he heard Hannu mention this custom, and many female slaves in his clan had also been victims of this kind of behavior, and he didn't expect to see it today.
Of course, Ma Han doesn't really think that the answer head needs anything to rob the family, and the people who rob the relatives really meet the needs of the lineage. Needless to say, this must be a smokescreen used to cover up the trouble. Not to mention, this reason really makes Gongsun Du angry and has nowhere to say, unless he really wants to have a bad relationship with Su Fuyan for this matter, but thinking about it, it is unlikely that he will finally borrow the slope to get off the donkey and accept Su Fuyan's apology.
But in this case, what should Zhen do? Where is the face of this Zhongshan clan? Especially the party, Zhen Qin, the victim of the incident, bears such a humiliating reputation, can she still have a good one in Liaodong?
Ma Han's mind was turning, and he had already calculated, so he slowly stood up and said, "Grab a kiss, right?" Great, don't mind if I take one too, right? It is said that the seeers have a share. β
The answer sneered: "Do you want to take the place of that Gongsun Gongzi?" Yes, go to Xiangping first to get the consent of Gongsun's family before coming. β
"Who said I was going to replace Gongsun Gong?" Ma Han said coldly, "I only represent myself, isn't it just fighting for the right to mate?" Whoever has the better minions will be more qualified. Play civilized Lao Tzu to accompany you, play barbarism, Lao Tzu also accompany. This dear, I'm sure I've got it! (To be continued......)
