Chapter 1434: Wedding customs, thoughts in the dark night
These tribal women basically go on a diet for half a month before getting married, and this process is called "Zhakong!" There are different reasons for this, but generally speaking, when tribal women get married, it is different from that of the Song Dynasty.
You can't ride horses or sedans to travel far or near, you have to walk all the time! Therefore, the journey usually takes a long time, and it is not uncommon to walk for one or two days or even three to five days.
On this journey, there are many people and it is inconvenient for the bride to solve the problem of grains and grains. Therefore, she starts dieting early to keep an empty stomach as much as possible so that the wedding can go more smoothly.
Of course, as time goes by, this custom has also been endowed with many good wishes.
And a complete diet is not too harsh! However, starting from the fifteenth day before the wedding, these women can only eat one egg and a bowl of water every day, and on the wedding day, they will completely
No water, no food.
"Father and brother are so greedy,
He exchanged his daughter's flesh for silver,
He exchanged his daughter's blood for wine,
The daughter who was forced to marry far away had to leave,
Even if the mountains are closed due to heavy snow, we have to walk.
You have to walk through deep ravines caused by floods.
The supposed daughter Hou Cimu,
But now,
I can only let Guozhuang sit with my mother,
I can only let the doorframe stand with my mother.
Poor daughter, I can only walk across Jiudao Mountain,
You can only cross nine rivers by walking,"
Suddenly, the noise outside the door suddenly stopped, and a loud and long voice began to sound! Everyone in the house also calmed down, listening to the songs that sounded in the yard.
This is also one of the customs for tribal women to get married. From today to the night before the wedding, every day the neighboring men, women and children will come to Murong Yu's house to participate in various activities.
Among them, men mainly come to ‘conquer their intelligence’.
Restraint is the meaning of debate, especially for the elders of the clan, it is definitely a very favorite activity.
Those elders tell everyone what they have seen and heard in this life, and they can criticize and refute each other. If they can win, they will naturally be respected by everyone.
And the women mainly sing 'wedding songs!'
Usually, a highly respected woman starts singing, and the most famous or commonly used song is "Ahmo Nira".
After the woman finishes singing, others will start speaking one after another, and all kinds of tribal songs, whether sad, passionate or joyful, will be sung.
In addition, there is also a bride-grabbing game that young men and women love to see, which is also held at night.
These various activities are continuous, especially for wealthy families, they will basically go on all night long until the wedding day arrives in fifteen days.
It is no exaggeration to say that Murong Yu's wedding made the entire Jiazong tribe and even the entire Shanchan Mansion fall into joy! However, one of the protagonists of this wedding declined all the banquets and stayed alone.
In the peach forest, quietly accompany Li'er.
As night fell slowly, Shen Tang tidied up the inside and outside of the hut, then walked to the side of Li'er's tombstone, leaned down and looked up at the endless starry sky.
"Li'er, my brother is going to marry Yu Yatou!"
Shen Tang's voice was low and somewhat depressing!
In fact, he was extremely conflicted about this wedding banquet! First of all, his feelings for Murong Yu were similar to a brother's feelings for his younger sister, and after all, there was Li'er between them.
If Li'er was still here, it would be no problem. I think with Li'er's gentle personality, not only would she not object to this matter, she would even try her best to promote it.
It's a pity that Li'er is no longer here.
And under such circumstances, marrying Yu Yatou in front of Li'er is like a tangled betrayal.
However, he not only has a relationship with Murong Yu, but also has a little Nianli! If Murong Yu cannot be given a result and explanation, the Jiazong tribe and the Murong clan will naturally not and dare not say anything. However, this will not matter to Murong Yu.
For Murong Yu, it was definitely a fatal ending.
In fact, it is not unusual for someone to die because of this.
So, despite the entanglement and guilt in his heart, he still did it! Li'er has passed away, how can he let that innocent girl lose her life again?
Furthermore, with the current complicated relationship between me and Murong Yu, if I don't marry her, who else will marry her not to mention the Jiazong tribe, even in the whole of Dali?
Things have become inevitable, and naturally there is only one option left.
And these days, he was in the peach forest, accompanying Li'er, and telling his thoughts and entanglements in his heart!
"It would be great if you were still here!"
Shen Tang's expression was calm with longing and sadness, and there was a kind of pain called inexplicable! He kept forcing himself to hold Li'er in his heart, because every time he pulled it out, the pain would penetrate into the bone marrow, making it difficult to control himself!
That cheerful and beautiful little Li'er is gone forever! This is a kind of irreparable pain and regret!
"Li'er, brother misses you..." In the quiet night, Shen Tang slowly fell asleep, and in his ears, the song Li'er once sang to him could be heard.
"Reach out your hand and pick the reed-top, Apo, and pick this reed flower. Thinking of brother-brother-oh..."
"In the morning, I have many thoughts - ah eh, and in the evening, I have many thoughts. In the morning and evening, these two hours always move my heart, ah eh..."
Just as the Jiazong tribe was preparing for the wedding banquet between Shen Tang and Murong Yu, the two daughters Ayi and Yisha finally arrived at Lianli City along with the huge caravan.
"Sister, they said the city ahead is Liancheng!"
Ayi looked at the city that had appeared in sight through the gap with some anxiety.
Along the way, they saw all the scenery of the Song Dynasty, and finally got some understanding of this ancient and mysterious empire! At the same time, what they saw along the way made them clearly understand the power and reputation of Shen Tang.
.
As Lianli City approached, the two women couldn't help but feel anxious and nervous.
Although they were originally in the tribe and knew about the reputation and nobility of the so-called princess, they never really experienced or verified it.
After what they had experienced along the way, they also understood that the so-called princess was almost like a fairy in the sky compared to them. At the same time, she also had a power that made those tribes tremble with fear.
Including the financial resources of the Shao family caravan, they were also surprised and uneasy.
In their understanding, mutual trading between tribes or caravans coming to the tribe are already extremely large transactions and purchases. However, along the way, the Shao family caravan's transactions, regardless of the type or quantity of goods, are
It exceeded their imagination.
The huge amount of money was unheard of.
In fact, even eating along the way made them feel a bit humble.
