Chapter 850: Wedding (Part 2)
Plain Land
Further away, there are continuous forests, which are only three hundred meters away from this small village. This is a forest protected by the God of Romon and cannot be reclaimed.
Now this forest has also been benefited by the dissipation of the fog and has become more lush.
A small river is winding through, which brings drinking water to the village and is also the source of watering.
Although spring wheat has just been planted, the wheat that is plowed in winter grows green and flakes of wheat fields swing left and right with the wind blowing, shaking waves.
These will be harvested from May to June.
Not far away is a village formed by wooden fences. The name of this village is Gading Village. They are all standard wooden houses, neatly arranged, and there is a group of people in front of one of the wooden houses.
"Have they not come yet?"
At the entrance of Gading Village, two people were standing on the high slope, looking towards the other end of the path, constantly looking at it.
A small number of villages were enfeoffed to the lord, and the lord personally served as the village chief.
Most of the villages were the territory of Count Sarante (upgraded), and he appointed some people as village chiefs, all selected pious and capable believers.
These two people are the village heads under the village chief. They usually have some small powers and are also considered figures with certain authority in the village.
This time, the two of them went to talk about the marriage between Peter's family.
The girl who was about to marry Peter's eldest son John was named Meilin, and she was a very simple and elegant girl.
The conditions in her family are pretty good, and their parents and relatives are both carpenters. If it were normal, such a girl would never be able to be a wife to a farmer's son. As the process of the glory of God Romon shining on the earth continued to expand, the status of the farmer in the territory of God Romon had already begun to gradually increase.
That's fine, the key is that Old Peter is said to be the head of the village where he is located, which is very good.
Meilin had the chance to meet John before, and it can be said that she fell in love at first sight.
There are not many concepts of hierarchy in this world when men and women get married. As long as the two parties are in love and their parents agree, they can stay together.
Now, it must also be baptized and recognized by the pastor.
"I think it's probably on the road?" Another man looked around for a while and replied.
The two people who told the couple of young men were not young anymore. One in his early forties was considered young, and the other was fifty years old.
"Hey, here, here, here, please take a look, are they sitting on the ox cart?" The man was looking around, suddenly he saw a ox cart coming at the other end of the path, and hurriedly asked the people beside him to look over.
"Yeah, it's them, it's them, it's them here." The other person nodded and confirmed the matter.
His eyes were better and he could see more clearly.
"Father, there are two people in front of us, as if they are waving to us." At this time, John was sitting in the ox cart, looking ahead, and his heart was pounding, so he saw at a glance that on a high slope not far away, two people were waving to them, so he reminded his father beside him and said.
"Let me see, oh, it's Holaid and Mithur. Your marriage is for them. They are both the heads of the village of Gading, and they are very prestigious." Looking at the two people in front, Peter turned his head and said proudly to his son: "Look, there are two heads who personally talk about marriage for you. If it were put before, they would never dare to think about it. All of this is the light of God Toromon. If it weren't for his brilliance shining on the earth, you kid want to get married, but you don't know when."
"Father, I know, I am full of gratitude to God Romon." John replied sincerely.
Seeing his son like this, Peter nodded with satisfaction.
Soon, their ox cart arrived at the land of Gading Village and met Holaide and Mishe who were waiting there.
"I'm glad to see you again, old friend." Holaid and Mithur treated Peter with a very enthusiastic attitude.
Seeing that the other party was enthusiastic, Peter greeted them very enthusiastically.
Then he called his eldest son John to his side: "Two sirs, this kid is my eldest son John John. Haven't you seen two of them yet?"
"Just call me Uncle Huolide. This is your Uncle Mithur. We will be a family in the future, so there is no need to say such dissenting words." Huolide said with a smile.
It makes sense for him to say that Meilin, the girl who was given to John, was a distant relative of the two of them. It was not surprising that she would be a family in the future.
Then Peter introduced his youngest son to them, but whether he could become a family in the future must be decided after both parties have met before they can make a decision. The group will no longer delay and will immediately walk to the village of Gading Village.
"Holaide, I think your fields are well prepared this year, and you have cultivated a lot of new land, right?" Old Peter asked while walking.
"Yes, after leaving the city, the village began to reclaim new land. Due to the grace of God Romon, the place shining with sunshine is very large, and there is a lot of land that can be reclaimed!" Huolide said with emotion.
Mishe, who was standing by, also said: "Yes, when I was in my original territory, although I had thought about reclaiming new land, because the pastor could not provide us with more protection, reclaiming new land has always been a delusion in our hearts."
"Although there is more land and more grain, there is always only so much land. Now, with God Romon blessing us, we can reclaim all the barren lands, and the food we plant in the future will be enough for us to eat."
Speaking of this, both of them showed smiles on their faces.
It has to be said that being conquered and incorporated into other territories can indeed make people feel fear and uneasy, but after some time, these people found that their lives have improved.
For most of the leaders, the Lord Romon only brought this point, was enough.
With too much land, the commission is not large. As long as you work hard in the future, you will not starve to death again.
This alone makes all conquered people begin to calm down and ignore anything else. As long as they can still live, it is an extremely lucky thing.
The group said as they walked towards the village. Meilin's house was at the entrance of the village, and soon they reached the place.
When Meilin's family heard that people came from Peter's family, they all smiled and welcomed them. They were even more satisfied with seeing John, who looked handsome and the gifts they brought.
"Oh, this is John, what a handsome young man, come on, come and sit in it. Meilin, hurry up and put the water on the guests." Meilin's mother became more satisfied with John's mother. She hurriedly greeted them in and asked her daughter out.
If the two parties don’t meet, how can we confirm the marriage?
Soon, a graceful and handsome girl walked in from outside, holding a tray in her hand, and putting water on it. The girl stood up and stood beside her.
The mother immediately asked her to sit down and talk to the people from Peter's house.
Although it was the first time we met, the Peter family was very satisfied with the girl.
Especially John, as soon as the girl came in, his eyes never moved away from her.
Both parties can say that they are very happy with this marriage.
"Peter, I heard you are going to be the head of the banker?" Huolide asked intentionally.
"Yeah, yes, the village chief admires me very much and has reported the list. If approved, my family will be a citizen and have twice as much land. John will stay at home and inherit my position in the future."
"As for Little Cola, if I obtain the civil status of ***, I want him to go to the city and learn craftsmanship." Old Peter said frankly.
"Good, the arrangement was very appropriate." Mishe said with satisfaction.
This also represents the feeling of Meilin's family.
The village chief may be an outsider. In order to strengthen the management of the village, he needs the assistance of local managers who are familiar with the situation of the village. This position is Zhuangtou.
Zhuangtou is the best farmer, and can make the production in the village proceed smoothly and effectively.
Zhuangtou must also be a devout believer and never forget to pray.
There are many managers in charge of specific affairs under the village head, and they can often be hereditary, so this is a good family in the village.
Little Cola went to the city and learned skills, which also avoided the future struggle, which was indeed good news for the woman.
There was not much time, and the marriage was settled.
"Then please prepare for the priest, and get married in the temple next week!" Finally, Peter decided.
"Well, at dusk, we go to pray. After the prayer is over, we will say to the pastor and sign the documents so that we can move out of the village!" Mithu said.
Everyone nodded.
Time was fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was dusk, and a group of people headed towards the village altar.
Generally speaking, an altar can be established as long as there are ten devout believers, and a hundred believers can be maintained. Now the village is established according to the standards of 200 adults, and the population will grow in the future.
When the loud bell rang, most of the villagers gathered inside the altar.
The bell is the sign of the beginning of the ceremony.
The priest stood in front and led all the leaders to kneel down and began to pray.
After a moment, the entire interior was full of people.
The shouts of "God Romon" were heard immediately.
"Praise you, you are the God of Nature and Punishment, and your glory shines on the earth." Under the leadership of the pastor, prayers rushed into the sky.
In this April evening, if you look down from a high altitude, you will find that there are two hundred places on this land, and 50,000 people will kneel in front of different altars and call the name of God.
The fire of faith is burning, and countless white lights gather into a torrent that is several times larger than before, heading towards somewhere.
Although some people hesitate, most of the prayers are full of piety, firmness, joy, and even gratitude.
At this time, the fire of faith is full of hope!
