Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Because this engagement also meant celebrating Dobu's father, except for the consummation, everything had to go through a formal wedding.

Accompanied by several cousins, Dobu entered the bride's tent. The eldest princess asked the aunts a few symbolic questions, told her the new name, and then Ji Lan covered Haifeng with a hijab.Duobu happily put on more than a dozen purses prepared by his mother-in-law, bowed respectfully, reached out to hold his wife whom he missed, and walked out together.

In the singing of blessings led by King Balin, Dobu helped Haifeng get on the white filly.Chasu is off today.The bridegroom has to ride the dowry accompanied by the bride's family.

The elder brother brought a tall dark red horse and handed it over to him.

"Khan Ama searched for it. The sweat and blood horse is now priced but not marketed. This horse is said to be very close in blood. The saddle and bridle are all used by the queen."

Not only Dobu, but even Chahun Khan came to thank him.The groom got on the horse, and the eldest princess, supported by her husband, also got on the horse, holding the rein of Hai Feng's horse, and guiding the younger sister in the direction.The team of seeing off relatives is mighty and mighty, setting off in the morning glow.

The camps on both sides are only two or three miles apart, so we only have to go out symbolically and arrive there not too far away.The White Horse Banquet had already been set up, and two strong white stallions stood on both sides of the tent prepared for the couple.There is a white felt at the door, on which are Zhumashusi, tea bricks, white silk and other things.The yurt is made of brand-new white sheep felt. The morning breeze blows, and the cashmere is fluffy and white, like clouds floating in the sky.

The relatives of the third and fourth generations of the Tuxietu Khan tribe all came to watch the ceremony, together with other guests, nearly 200 people stood there.

The highlight, of course, is the bride crossing the fire.

In the southeast of the yurt, two campfires were burning.The eldest princess dismounted and led Haifeng's horse over, feeling a little uneasy, and asked someone to call her husband over to ask.

"This is very rare, my brother-in-law won't miss it, right? I heard that when many Mongolian nobles got married, they asked their men who were able to ride horses to do it for them. It's not a joke to show off your face in front of these many people."

Bundy knew what Dobu was capable of, and told his wife not to worry.The eldest princess tied a big hollow knot with the reins, and waved to Dobu who was waiting on the other side of the fire.

Duobu raised his whip to urge the horse forward, and at the same time the eldest princess threw the hollow knot high into the air.It was too late, but soon, Dobu's horse whip passed through the center of the hollow knot in an instant, and with a flip of his wrist, the groom's whip and the bride's reins were tightly entangled.The little white horse was led by the reins, and carried the bride steadily through the middle of the two bonfires. The audience cheered and applauded one after another.

A large amount of salt and cedar were thrown into the fire by the guests, which caused thick smoke to billow, and the atmosphere was gradually pushed to a climax.

The eldest brother and the fifth elder brother took Hai Feng's nine uncles to work together, dragged a dozen pieces of lamb skins from the dowry cart, and spread them on the way for the bride to enter the tent.The eldest princess helped her younger sister get off the horse, and the bride stepped on the sheepskins as soon as she landed.Hai Feng thought to himself, this is just a different color than a modern bride walking the red carpet.

Dobb was waiting at the door of the tent. As soon as he received her, he whispered in his ear:

"Aren't you tired? After offering Abu tea, you can rest for a while."

Hai Feng was fine, but the heavy head of the jewel made her neck uncomfortable, so she smiled and indicated that she was fine.

But when she entered the tent and saw her long-lost father-in-law, she almost couldn't hold back her tears, and the hand that was holding Dobu was so hard that her nails almost scratched him.

"Why, is it hurt so badly?"

In Haifeng's memory, the father-in-law is more like a good father than Kangxi.Optimistic, positive, joking, no food without wine, less meat for each meal, solid like a hill.But now, those thick fat and muscles have disappeared, and the skin hangs loosely on the skeleton. Although the complexion is still rosy, it is obviously brought about by the tonic, and it is empty inside.

Dobb felt her sadness and could only force a smile.

"Bake a bowl of tea for Abu."

Hai Feng just woke up like a dream, took the utensils from him, first swept away the old ashes under the fire support, re-ignited the fire, and brewed a new pot of tea.

Among the many wives in Chahun, the oldest one was holding a plate of milk food with a piece of sheep's neck on it.Hai Feng took the plate, and she wiped it on Hai Feng's hands with butter and fresh milk, and then handed a large spoon tied with a hada and dipped in butter to the bride.

Hai Feng used this spoon to hold a bowl of tea and served it to his father-in-law who was lying on the couch.

Galdan wanted to stand up to pick it up, but was stopped by both Dobu and Haifeng, so he leaned over to take the bowl of tea from his daughter-in-law, and said a few polite words according to the tradition, neither affectionate nor distant.

With such a polite, even somewhat alienated attitude, Hai Feng was filled with emotion: the father-in-law used to raise her like a daughter, and every time the young couple quarreled and got angry, the father-in-law scolded Dobu first and asked him why he couldn’t eat a big man. It's a bit of a loss, why don't you understand that the princess is marrying far away, and she has no relatives around her.

At this moment, they are strangers who have just met for the first time.

Hai Feng hurriedly asked the aunts waiting outside to bring in the cigarette pouch she embroidered by herself and other greeting gifts.

Galdan took the embroideries carefully, and suddenly a familiar fragrance wafted from the tip of his nose.He sniffed the cigarette pouch carefully twice to make sure he was right.

"The fourth princess is so powerful, she even knows exactly what kind of shredded tobacco I like to smoke."

Haifeng wanted to get back his father-in-law's love for her quickly, so he put the tobacco he often smoked in his purse.In her previous life, she often lit cigarettes and washed pipes for Galdan, and she still remembered his preferences.

"As long as Abu likes it. That's what Dobb told me."

"oh, I see."

Galdan looked at his son and found that he did not intend to refute, but acquiesced, and his heart became more suspicious.

"Your Highness, can you chat with me alone?"

"What did Abu say? Naturally."

So Dobu took everyone out to eat at the White Horse Seat, leaving Haifeng alone to talk to his father.

Galdan never believed that Dobu knew what kind of tobacco he smoked.Because my son doesn't like the smell of tobacco, he has never touched the stem of tobacco.Every time he smokes next to him, he has to stay far away.

"Good boy, listen to me carefully."

Hearing her father-in-law's tone, which was more familiar to her, Hai Feng held back her tears and agreed.

"Yes, Abu, Feng'er is listening."

"You and Dob, aren't you the same?"

"what?"

"If you're anything like him, you should know you made a mistake. Dobb doesn't smoke."

Stared at by his father-in-law's firm eyes, Hai Feng realized that this was an omission in his busy schedule, and he couldn't easily avoid it.

"Abu said, yes, which one is it?"

Galdan clenched the exquisite cigarette purse tightly, fearing that someone outside would be eavesdropping, so with all his strength, he leaned close to his daughter-in-law's ear and asked:

"You, with him, reincarnated together?"

Writing about weddings feels like a waste of words, but I am also tired of always writing about intrigues, and I especially want to write about pure beauty.As I said before about Mongolian marriage customs, there are many types of customs, and the information that can be found is all from Inner Mongolia and modern times. I can’t restore the appearance of that era, so I simply put together a few more interesting customs that I wrote, please. Textual research, because it can't stand the textual research at all, haha.Shusi is a whole sheep, and it seems to have been written in a previous chapter.The white horse banquet is not about eating white horses. The horse is the reward of the officiant and will be taken away after the end.
