Le Shuhai and his brothers were busy roasting whole lambs and stewing lambs. They were responsible for receiving guests. He informed his family and went back to work.
With the sound of horseshoes clattering, several people on horseback quickly arrived outside the tent group of old Mrs. Baoyin's house. They slowed down and got off their horses and walked on foot when they were still more than ten meters away from the tent.
Le Jian Le Kang Le Fu and his sons and nephews took turns going outside the tent to greet the guests.
When the guest arrived a few meters away from the big tent, the host greeted him. The guest picked up the gift from the horse and handed the horse to the young man assigned by the host to take care of the horse.
The young people in charge of the horses will take them to a distant place and put them in a pen to let them eat grass.
The guests who followed the host's family into the big tent were stunned when they saw the many gifts in the big tent. Following the host's companionship, they bypassed the gifts and arrived in front of old Mrs. Baoyin to greet the elderly and present gifts.
The visitor has some background. He is a representative of the Wula Grassland Management Committee, that is, an official representative.
Le Yun Yue, Le Yun Ji and two brothers from the Le family, as well as five young men named Shu, are all very competitive and are public officials. Among them, Le Yunyue works at the Management Committee of Wula Grassland and is a senior official.
Secretary.
Le Yunyue had taken leave of absence two days ago to go home to celebrate Grandma Luo's 100th birthday, and everyone in the management committee also knew about it.
Mrs. Baoyin is the first centenarian in Wula Grassland. Since it was the weekend, people from the management committee were also on vacation, so they also formed a team and came to celebrate the birthday of the old lady. There were 12 people in total.
Le Yunyue welcomed her colleagues and leaders, waited for the guests to present gifts to her grandmother, and solemnly introduced her natal family.
Leyun bowed and greeted the guests.
A group of guests also enthusiastically paid their respects to the distinguished guest from afar. When the host arranged for them to sit next to the old lady's mother-in-law, they did not shirk and happily sat down next to the little girl.
After discussing with his brothers and sisters, Le Jian originally wanted to display the gifts from his mother's family in the tent and save them to entertain guests in the evening.
Now, people from the Management Committee have come to wish my old mother a birthday. The public officials have to go to work tomorrow. People from the Management Committee must go back after lunch and will not stay for dinner.
There are also some in-laws in the Le family and guests from far away villages, who usually go back after lunch.
Le Jian discussed it again with his brothers, asked his old mother for permission, and brought the braised whole lamb that was a birthday gift from her natal family to entertain the guests at noon.
The braised whole lamb has already been simmered. You only need to heat it up on the fire or simmer it in a pot, which is very convenient.
Lekang went to call some grandchildren, and first took thirteen braised sheep to the temporary kitchen.
The people in the tent were chatting lively. Soon after, the leader of the upstream village and some villagers also arrived on horseback.
After the previous group of guests entered the tent and exchanged greetings with the birthday girl, they sat down to drink milk tea. Before finishing the bowl of milk tea, people from the village committee also came to wish the old lady a birthday.
The village committee is more than thirty miles away from the old lady's settlement. It is a relatively large village with a primary school. Children from several settlements within a radius of seventy or eighty miles generally do not go to school in the city.
Yes, they all go to elementary school there.
There were more and more people in the big tent, and the Le family members and some villagers went to the temporary tents.
After the people from the village committee arrived, villagers from the lower reaches and settlements within a radius of fifty miles sent representatives to celebrate the old lady's birthday.
For distant settlements, only one adult per family will come.
In the villages downstream, adults came and brought their children with them.
Soon, the natal families or in-laws of the daughters-in-law of the Yun and Shu generations of the Le family, or the in-laws of the Le family brothers also arrived one after another.
Some of the young men of the Lejiayun and Shu generation went to live or work in other places, and their wives were also from other places, and some young women also married to other counties or other places.
The aunts and sons-in-law who married outside came back yesterday. Some of the in-laws came only on the old lady’s birthday, and some of them were far away and came late.
Le's wife married local aunts in the Wula Grassland. Some of them are hundreds of miles away, some are sixty or seventy miles away, or twenty or thirty miles away. The nearest one is in this village.
The in-laws of several aunts came to Mrs. Baoyin’s house yesterday. In order not to cause trouble to the in-laws, most of the in-laws did not come until the old lady’s birthday.
Old Mrs. Baoyin has in-laws in her family, and her husband's brothers also have daughters and granddaughters. All the in-laws who are close to her are also here.
There are quite a lot of in-laws in the Le family. Even if the whole family is not dispatched, there are still nearly a hundred people.
In-laws came one after another, and among them were villagers from nearby settlements. There were more and more people.
When I finally had time to rest, it was almost eleven o'clock.
After a few more scattered groups of people arrived, the men, women, and children from the same village also spontaneously came to Lejia. Those half-year-old children who had gone to practice riding and shooting all returned to the village and also visited old Mrs. Baoyin's house.
One of the villagers also brought a sheep to thank their guests from other provinces. Of course, they would not let the host entertain their guests in vain.
Herdsmen are famous for their hospitality and will not dislike their guests. They will treat guests warmly no matter who they are. It is not impolite in the eyes of herdsmen for villagers in the same village to invite their own guests to visit other houses.
Before half past eleven, all the guests were here.
Le Yun was in the big tent, but her consciousness covered the area for several miles. She knew what was going on in every corner and could tell how many people there were.
There were a total of 530 guests, including villagers and distant guests, and 94 in-laws. In addition, there were 105 people from the same clan as my aunt's husband, the Le family, old and young.
Therefore, not counting the direct descendants of my great-aunt, there were a total of 712 guests.
With so many people, a small Naadam Conference can be held.
When all the guests arrived, Le Jian and his brothers invited the guests in the big tent to sit at the dining tent outside.
The guests followed their hosts as they pleased, surrounded old Mrs. Baoyin and her family members, walked out of the big tent and walked towards the temporary square tent.
The square tent is U-shaped, opening to the southeast, leaving a wide open space in the middle, and the fire pit originally used for burning bonfires at night is temporarily covered.

There are two rows of tables in the tent, and carpets are spread around the tables.
The Mongolian people respect the right, that is, the west. The tent in the east is filled with younger guests, and the tent in the west is the seat for the host or the elderly, with some elderly people sitting there.
The host and distinguished guests arrived, and all the guests present stood up to pay tribute.
Lejian and his brothers supported their old mother and entered the tent in the west area with all the guests. They invited the old lady to sit on the table. They invited the cousins and their family to sit on the right side of the old lady. On the left side were the leaders of the management committee, and opposite them were
A member of my own family will accompany me.
People from the management committee and village committee, together with the heads of each village and the elders in-laws, sit at other tables. The older or older people, the middle-aged and the young, follow the principle of ordering the elders and the younger ones.
Take your seats one by one.
The dining table is made up of two tables put together. There are more than a dozen people sitting around the table. Not counting those who are working, there are more than fifty tables in total.
The person doing the work must be responsible for serving or removing dishes throughout the entire process, and must not sit at the same table with the guests.
Everyone sat down, and Leyun also found a distant visitor brought by a certain villager.
There were eight visitors from far away, four men and four women, aged between twenty-five and forty-three. One of the young men was handsome, well-spoken, and considered a social expert.
After scanning five distant visitors, Le Yun collected information about their bodies. None of those people were related to anyone she was familiar with.
However, she was sure that it was not a coincidence that those people came to the grassland.
At least two of them are suspicious characters.
Even though the two people appeared to be tourists, their spirits and the subtle expressions of paying attention to her when she appeared have changed, and they have been paying attention to her secretly.
When those people didn't come to Le's as guests, they would often lie to the villagers. After coming to Le's, they also walked around "curiously" and asked questions.
After analysis, Le Yun is 99% sure that the two people in that group were either being bribed to gather information, or they were minions or informants of certain people or organizations.
Everyone has broken into the village where my aunt lives, which can be considered as breaking into the inside. It can be seen that some people who are paying attention to her move very quickly.
If the enemy does not move, I will not move.
Everyone has sent people here, and there must be backup plans. Le Yun is not worried about her family. She dares to bring her family here, so she is naturally prepared.
Regardless of whether others are trying to trick her or not, she will do it.
Besides, after my aunt returned to her hometown to worship her ancestors, she never made any move, just to create opportunities for those who secretly stared at the Le family or her.
This opportunity is fleeting.
If my great-aunt was sold and the strife between my great-grandfather's family was really related to the inheritance my great-great-grandfather received, then if those who are watching the Le family have doubts, they probably won't let go of such an opportunity.
The prairie is wide and offers retreat routes in all directions, making it the most suitable place for action.
The most important thing is that the grassland is far away from the city. There is no electricity or cameras, so you are not afraid of exposing your whereabouts.
Whether it is to say that the artist is bold or arrogant, Le Yun did not hesitate to use her family and her aunt as bait in order to fish out one or two of the Le family's enemies behind the scenes.
If one or two suspects can be fished out this time, it means that her guess is correct. Either an old woman in Jiangnanxi City has already doubted the identity of the great-grandfather and the origin of the Le family, or the great-grandfather and his family frequently
The incident is related to a certain inheritance.
If no one takes the bait, it is possible that the person behind the scenes is deeply hidden and will not take action easily;
The people behind the scenes have not taken any action, which means that my aunt is relatively safe for the time being.
What Le Yun is more interested in is that she doesn't know who the spies who broke into the herdsmen's houses in the village are from. Is it from the side of an old woman in Di City, or is it someone else?
The people who arranged for those two people to be spies also put a lot of thought into it. Those two people are relatively ordinary in appearance. If they have jobs, they should be ordinary elites, and they are of a regular type.
Both of them have learned boxing and kicking skills. Even if they are discovered, it can be said that they are for self-defense and will not make people think too much.
