Chapter 414: Turkic Strange Customs
Mo Cha's face was solemn, and he said: "You can't say that, in fact, the city lord of Eagle's Beak City is very skillful, and he has a good way of governing the government, and the people are quite fond of it." ”
"Huh? That's right. The people loved him and were so happy about his death? Chai Yunrui pointed to the distance and said: "Look at that descendant, he is dancing happily, don't tell me, it's the old man's dazzle." ”
"Of course your old eyes are fine." "Actually, it's our Turkic custom to get married at a funeral. ”
Then, he explained in detail the special Turkic custom of "funeral marriage" to Cui Geng and others.
It turned out that the Turkic people lived on tribes and herds. It's usually nothing, but boys and girls have grown up, and they have to get married. If there is a suspicion of consanguineous marriage within the tribe, then you have to find someone from another tribe.
Now the problem is, the Turkic land is vast and sparsely populated, and the two tribes usually can't touch, even if they do, there is not much room for choice, and there may not be a suitable one, what can be done?
Over time, a special custom was formed, funeral marriage.
When a nobleman of high status died, everyone rushed to his funeral. At that time, the boys and girls all dressed up and dressed themselves up like peacocks in courtship. When a young man fell in love with a girl, he hurried to ask if they were willing or not, and then asked the girl's parents for a kiss and gave him a dowry.
Time is urgent, everyone is still busy grazing, and generally after the funeral, it is the peak of the wedding.
Cui Geng understands this time, daring to love is similar to the Shangsi Bathing Festival in the Tang Dynasty, it is a platform for young boys and girls to fall in love, no wonder they are all happy.
……
……
Mocha Pegasus goes to Hawk's Beak City to report the news of the arrival of King Zuoxian. The new city lord Hu Lu Miyi hurriedly led people out of the city to greet him, and the courteous reception went without saying.
After drinking and eating, Hu Lu Miyi said attentively: "King Zuoxian, otherwise, you won't leave today, right?" Rest in the afternoon, and have fun in my eagle's beak in the evening. ”
"Huh? What do you mean? ”
"Today, the old city lord has been buried, can those young boys and girls find the person they like, but it's tonight. So, tonight, everyone sang and danced, drank and had fun, and it was very lively. King Zuo Xian is lucky, maybe there will be a few beautiful women to give him a hug. ”
Song Genhai was puzzled: "Look at what you mean, do you want to use beauties to please my family?" Could it be that you are not afraid that Princess Radamizhu will be jealous? ”
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." Hu Lu Mi waved his hand again and again, and said nonchalantly: "My Turkic customs are different from your Central Plains, if you can't get married, it's good to have a child for your nobles, and the whole tribe feels a light on their faces." After those women knew the identity of King Zuo Xian, they would definitely not entangle, and the princess would definitely not eat the vinegar of an ordinary shepherd girl. It's a complete affair. ”
After a pause, he said to Song Genhai and the others: "You are all from the Central Plains. Official, you can also try it, as long as you are willing to do it, the lord of this city is happy to see it. ”
"That's ......"
Song Genhai was a little moved at that time, swallowed his saliva, and said, "My lord, my brothers are tired after walking all the way. Why don't you be lazy today? ”
Feng Changqing didn't have a family, and he couldn't help the light in front of him, nodded and said: "I think Brother Song is reasonable, there is a way, one is relaxed, and the way of civil and military affairs is also!" ”
What kind of text are you dragging?
Isn't it just that he likes Emperor Hu Tian and Hu here, and he doesn't have to be responsible?
Cui Geng wanted to oppose it at that time, but Chai Yunrui said with interest: "Well, this statement makes a lot of sense!" The old man also wants to open his eyes! ”
I. Day!
This Chai Yunrui is also an old pervert, and he also said that he has a deep love for his deceased wife. Well, even Wu Zetian, an old lady in her seventies, can do it, maybe this is his true face.
Of course, no matter how much Cui Geng slandered, Chai Yunrui was the main envoy, and he was the deputy envoy, so it was difficult to say anything at this time, so he could only nod his head and agree.
……
……
That night, in a large clearing outside the city.
Countless bonfires have been lit, and young men and girls, and even middle-aged men and women who are not so young but still in their hearts, are singing, dancing, drinking, and even fighting, trying to show their best side to the opposite sex.
"Come, Cui Shu drinks!" Chai Yunrui casually handed over a rather delicate small wine jug.
Cui Geng took a sip and said in surprise: "Senior Chai, this is the good wine that Wang Zhu saw off that day, why are you still hiding your secrets?" ”
Chai Yunrui smiled slyly and said, "Cui boy, people are old and treacherous, horses are old and slippery, learn more." If it weren't for the good mood of the old man today, he wouldn't have shared it with you. ”
Cui Geng snorted disapprovingly, and said, "What's in a good mood, you'll be in a bad mood soon!" See, those little ladies are all flattering to me. If you're interested, you'll have to be at least forty years old. ”
"Do you think the old man stayed today for that? To be honest, I'm so old, and I've long taken the love of men and women lightly. ”
Chai Yunrui glanced at Cui Geng and continued: "I can't hide it, I just want to see how young people look like they are. Well, it's good to be young! ”
"Hmph, if you can't eat grapes, you can't talk about grapes...... Eh, what's that? ”
As soon as Cui Gengyan said this, he was attracted by the group of people in front of him. But not far away, the Turks surrounded three layers inside and three layers outside, and they continued to make loud cheers.
Chai Yunrui was also very curious, separated the crowd, and took a closer look. 、
But he saw that there was a large bonfire lit inside, and in front of the bonfire, a handsome, slightly weak Turkic nobleman and eight powerful companions of Kongwu were standing.
In front of them, a large white cloth sang.
On this white cloth lay three small heaps of gold. A rough estimate is that the first pile is one thousand taels, the second one hundred taels, and the third one twenty taels.
Next to this white cloth, there are dozens of jars of good wine.
One of the companions said loudly: "I'll tell the rules again, today my son-in-law wants to have a meeting with wine." See these wines? This is the good wine "Mulan Spring" of the Central Plains. Just now, many people saw with their own eyes that my son-in-law drank three jars in a row and was not drunk. If any of you drinks a jar of wine and is not drunk, the twenty taels of gold will be yours. If you are not drunk with two jars of wine, a hundred taels of gold will be yours. If you are not drunk with three jars of wine, a thousand taels of gold will be yours. ”
One thousand taels of gold is 10,000 yuan, which is quite a huge amount of money in the Great Zhou, not to mention the Turks who don't poop?
The sake is red, the wealth is moving, and immediately someone shouted: "I! I got it! ”
"Slow!"
The companion waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, listen to me first, don't get drunk after drinking, that's right." However, it is not possible to deceive our family into drinking. If you can't drink a jar of wine in a quarter of an hour, then I'm sorry, you'll have to pay for this jar of wine, ten times a penny, not a single one is missing. ”
As soon as he said this, the enthusiasm of the people suddenly decreased.
That wine jar is not small, four or five catties, who is sure to drink it in one go?!
After a long time, a man with a rough face said, "I'll try it!" ”
After speaking, he took a few steps forward, held the jar of wine in his hand, raised his head, and poured it into his throat!
However, it's a pity that I only drank half of it, and even a few full burps, I couldn't drink it anymore.
There is no way, I can only admit it, pay the money and leave.
A few more strong men came over, but they couldn't take the twenty taels of gold.
At this time, the handsome-faced Turkic nobleman didn't speak well, pointed to the people around him, and said, "Rubbish! It's all a bunch of rubbish! There are so many of you, can't you pick out one who can drink with my son? ”
"I'm coming!"
Chai Yunrui came out of the crowd and said, "Little doll, your grandfather Chai didn't stand up, first, he looked down on this money, and second, he was not rare and had the same knowledge as you." Since you are not so bad, then I can't say it, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of your family! ”
The handsome-faced nobleman said, "Oh? Is it? Old gang, toad yawns, you have such a big breath! Tell me, how many jars can you drink? ”
Chai Yunrui did not answer him directly, but asked rhetorically: "I heard that you drank three jars of wine just now, and you stated that whoever can drink three jars of wine will get a thousand taels of gold." Then the old man asks you, what if I drink five jars of wine? What about the ten jars of wine? ”
"Five jars of wine, give you two thousand taels of gold! As for the ten jars of wine...... That's impossible! No matter how big your belly is, can you hold dozens of catties of wine? ”
Chai Yunrui smiled calmly, "You don't care if the old man can or not." Now I'll ask you, I've really drunk ten jars of wine, what's wrong with you? ”
"I ...... I'll ......" The handsome-faced nobleman also let go, and said, "You can really drink ten jars of wine, I ...... I'll leave it to you on one condition. ”
"Lord, no!"
The companions behind him were anxious and spoke in unison to stop them.
The handsome-faced nobleman turned pale and said, "What? Is it not easy for this king to speak? If you look down on this king, go back, for this king is not uncommon. ”
"The subordinates don't dare!"
"It's better not to dare!"
After finishing speaking, the handsome boy suddenly turned his head and said, "Old guy, don't talk nonsense, do you dare to accept it?" ”
"Why don't you dare!" Chai Yunrui laughed and said, "Little doll, you have an eye!" ”
