Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 738 Indian Marriage Customs

As night fell, the banks of the Amazon River became a bit blurred like a thick ink landscape painting, but the Emperor was brightly lit.

It was also the first time for Taichang to bring his apprentice back to have dinner with his family, and the imperial concubine Wu Wan'er asked someone to inquire, and learned that this apprentice was from the primitive tribe here, and he basically hadn't eaten anything delicious.

So she specially ordered the imperial chef to cook a very sumptuous meal.

There are more than 30 dishes in this big meal, not only all the river seafood here, but also all the dried goods and cured meat they brought.

She also specially ordered someone to put out the large round table designed by Taichang himself, on which more than 30 dishes were placed, stacked on top of each other.

A Suzu looked at the mountains of dishes and was dumbfounded again.

My God, what is this for?
In fact, there are not many people sitting at this big table, there are only a dozen or so adults, and there are a few children in their arms, so there is nothing to eat at all.

If it was in the giant horse tribe, with such a small number of people, it would be considered rich if they could make two big pots of stewed wild vegetables.

Ever since he met his mentor, it seems that every meal is very hearty, at least more than ten dishes, and he can't finish it at all.

He had never dared to think of this way of eating before.

Where can they find so much food, it is not bad if they can eat enough, and it is even more impossible to eat and have leftovers.

This time, there was too much food, and he couldn't help but mutter to Zhao Baiyun in a low voice: "Do you cook so much delicious food every meal when you get home?"

How can we cook so many delicious things.

Zhao Baiyun replied in a low voice: "We ordinary people can't cook so many delicious food, the emperor is the most honorable person in this world, so of course the food should be the best.

Your Majesty, this is relatively frugal.

When I was studying in Nankun Kingdom, I heard that every meal of a truly extravagant emperor consists of hundreds of dishes.

As for us ordinary people, we usually cook some beef and fish, as long as we can eat enough. "

Oh, I see.

Seeing the two whispering to each other, Taichang couldn't help smiling.

These two little guys look about the same, but they are still a little shy.

Alcohol can strengthen courage, let them drink a little wine first!

Thinking of this, he raised his glass with a smile and said, "There is nothing to worry about when we get home. You can drink more today. Come, let's have a drink first."

This table is mostly his family, as well as his apprentices, apprentices' wives and so on. Naturally, there is no need to toast, just raise a glass and drink.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the chopsticks and said, "Don't be so polite as a family. Come, let's eat."

After finishing speaking, he directly picked up a piece of bacon and chewed it happily.

All the concubines are used to eating with him, so naturally they won't be restrained, they all moved their chopsticks when they saw Taichang, put a few dishes in it and put them in a bowl, and they enjoyed eating with their little ones. Almost.

A Suzu was a little confused again, he knows how to use chopsticks, but he doesn't know most of the dishes on this big table!
Here, what would you like to eat?
After hesitating for a while, he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of familiar fish to try. It tasted really good.

Ever since, he grabbed the plate of fish and ate it.

Seeing this, Taichang turned the turntable slowly, and passed a few cured meats to Zhao Baiyun and A Suzu, then smiled and said: "Don't just grab the fish and eat it, this is the special cured meat of the Ming Dynasty, you can try it."

Zhao Baiyun wanted to introduce it to A Suzu, but when she picked up a piece of bacon, she couldn't recognize what kind of meat it was.

She couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, what are these cured meats made of?"

Uh, this, it seems that the Indian tribes in North America haven't seen pigs, let alone chickens and ducks.

Taichang thought for a while, and then introduced: "You know wild boar, pheasant, and wild duck. These are made of pork, chicken, and duck. However, these are not caught in the wild, but are raised by the people of Ming Dynasty themselves."

Hearing this, Zhao Baiyun couldn't help asking curiously: "Can wild boars, pheasants, and wild ducks be raised? If they can be raised, I will ask my tribe to raise some when I go back. In fact, these taste very good, but it is difficult to find them in the wild. "

When Taichang heard the words, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Yes, you can teach the Indian tribes in North America to raise pigs, chickens, and ducks. They produce a lot of food, and raising these is not too simple.

Moreover, there are wild boars, pheasants and wild ducks there, which proves that it is very suitable for the growth and reproduction of pigs, chickens and ducks.

Thinking of this, Taichang couldn't help but nodded slightly: "Well, you can indeed raise pigs, chickens and ducks, and chickens and ducks can also lay eggs, and the eggs and duck eggs can be preserved for a long time.

If the weather cools down, it can be stored for a whole winter.

You raise a lot, and you can make money from eggs and duck eggs.

Tomorrow, I will order people to deliver an order to go back and ask the Ministry of Agriculture to bring you some fine-bred pigs, chickens and ducks, and I believe they will be bred soon. "

Zhao Baiyun couldn't help nodding his head when he heard the words: "Okay, okay."

Taichang thought for a while, then suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "By the way, this duck is very good at eating small fish, and it can also be used to clean up parasitic fish.

Zhongyong, remember this, when the time comes, more ducks will be bred here, hundreds of ducks will come from each river. "

Wang Chong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I will remember this at the end."

What is this for?

Seeing this, imperial concubine Wu Wan'er couldn't help persuading: "Your Majesty, don't worry about state affairs all day long. You think about it when you eat, aren't you tired?"

Uh, this.

Well, let's talk about something personal.

Taichang thought for a while, and then simply said to Zhao Baiyun: "Baiyun, what happened to you and A Suzu, I don't know if your Indian tribe has any rules.

Otherwise, you can take A Suzu back to live with you today.

After all, he was not familiar with the place where he lived, so it was really hard to arrange a place to live. "

Oh, my lord, what are you talking about?

Zhao Baiyun couldn't help but blushed when she heard this, she was stretching out her chopsticks to pick up vegetables, but at this moment she retracted them and covered her face.

Uh, is there any other wedding customs in Indian tribes?
Question, he doesn't seem to have seen any wedding ceremony held by Indian tribes.

Taichang thought for a while, and simply asked Concubine Su: "Do you Indian tribes have any customs for getting married?"

Concubine Su glanced at Zhao Baiyun who was full of shyness, and couldn't help but smiled slightly: "In fact, we Indian tribes don't have many customs for getting married, usually the two agree, and the family members make arrangements and build a house for them to live together.

If it is more formal, invite the chief and his relatives and friends over for a meal, and then ask the chief to bless him.

The Chief Necklace binds the two together, and the two are officially married. "

It turns out that there are really marriage customs.

Taichang was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Is the chief of all the people I am a chief?"

Concubine Su nodded quickly and said, "Of course, Your Majesty, you are the great chief of all our Indian tribes, and it is the greatest honor to receive your blessing."

That's it.

Taichang immediately beckoned and said, "Ziru, go get ready for the necklace."

Uh, what necklace.

When Cao Huachun heard the words, he couldn't help being stunned on the spot.

Seeing this, Concubine Su got up quickly and said, "Eunuch Cao, let's go, I'll tell you what the necklace should be made of."

This, is not too sloppy?

The imperial concubine Wu Wan'er saw A Suzu's concentration on eating, and couldn't help reminding: "Your majesty, your apprentice seems to know what's going on, do you want to ask him?"

Uh, by the way, I forgot to ask Asuzu.

Although this marriage is very important, it cannot be forced.

After all, this apprentice was very important for him to unify the Indian tribes in the Amazon jungle. If such a life-long event made people uncomfortable, it would be a bit troublesome.

Taichang hurriedly said: "Baiyun, ask him to see if he is willing to marry you."

Hearing this, Zhao Baiyun was stunned for a moment, then summoned up his courage, and said affectionately to Asuzu: "Do you like me, do you want to be with me?"

what?
When A Suzu heard this, the meat that had just been stuffed into his mouth almost fell out.

He couldn't understand so many official words of Ming Dynasty, so he had no idea what these people were discussing.

Isn't this for food?
Why are you talking about getting married all of a sudden?
To be honest, he also has feelings for Zhao Baiyun, otherwise, he wouldn't be tired of being with him.

With his conditions, he naturally has no shortage of girls who want to be with him. There were many girls in the clan who wanted to be with him in the past. However, he has no feelings for them, so he has never had a woman by his side.

Speaking of this suddenly at this moment, he was really a little dazed.

He thought about it carefully, and then solemnly said: "As long as you are willing to be with me."

OK!

Zhao Baiyun couldn't help but excitedly said: "He agreed."

That's it.

Everyone happily ate the meal, and then arranged the top floor of the emperor well, hung up red lanterns, covered with red ribbons, and Taichang solemnly sat on the grand master's chair in the middle.

Zhao Baiyun dragged A Suzu slowly to him and knelt down, then said shyly: "Chief of all people, A Suzu and I want to live together, please bless us."

it is good!
As soon as Taichang raised his hand, Cao Huachun immediately held a plate wrapped in red silk and handed him a long pearl necklace.

He picked up the pearl necklace, wrapped it around the necks of the two of them twice according to the method taught by Concubine Su, and then raised his hand again.

Liu Shiyou held another plate wrapped in red silk and handed it to him respectfully.

Inside the plate were actually two stacks of banknotes entangled in red paper, and they were all in denominations of 100 taels!
This blessing is to say some good things, but no matter how much good words are said, there is no money to get benefits. Only by giving people more money can they really live a good life.

Taichang directly picked up two stacks of silver bills, stuffed them into the hands of Zhao Baiyun and A Suzu respectively, and then smiled slightly: "This is the rule of Ming Dynasty. After all, A Suzu is my apprentice. He got married, so I feel sorry for you, Mrs. Let's also think about it, and you all accept it."

Zhao Baiyun took the bank note and looked at it, he couldn't help being surprised.

My God, such a big stack is all 100 taels of silver bills, I am afraid that a stack is worth tens of thousands of taels!
She quickly pulled A Suzu and kowtowed: "Thank you all the chiefs."

Taichang nodded slightly, and then solemnly said: "Happy marriage for a hundred years, early birth to a precious son, many sons and grandchildren, longevity and well-being."

Even if the ceremony was completed, Zhao Baiyun and A Suzu went into the bridal chamber with gratitude, but all the concubines looked at Taichang with resentment on their faces.

Your Majesty, you only think about how many other people have more children and grandchildren, so why don't you have more?

Especially Concubine Su, everyone has little princes and princesses, but she doesn't have one yet.

She looked at Taichang with such resentment in her little eyes that water dripped out.

Well, Taichang really didn't expect that a blessing would get him into it, and now he's going to be overworked again.
