136 The Gift of Marriage

The rare fur can be rewarded with relatives and people during the Spring and La second gift. Gems are used to create various jewelry and utensils, or as pestles. Cattle and sheep are 100,000, and sheep are 90,000. The male and half of the male and female are trying to produce milk.
Horses and slaves are the key.
Liu Bei is interested in these living things.
The horses were fed by Xilin herders. Tens of thousands of slaves were released to the town, all of whom were named Liu. Wuyan was known as King Khan. The Hu people in the town once called him Lord Liu Beikhan. Although the word Khan had not yet replaced the Shanyu, it was obviously also commonly used in Hu language.
Nowadays, everyone calls him lords, which is due to the Chinese version. It is still the same meaning.
Among the tens of thousands of slaves, most of the elderly and weak account for half. There are thousands of young and strong. They first form a family, marry and have children. They usually mow grass and feed horses, and serve as militia training. When they are in war, it is not too late to recruit cavalry again.
Not to mention beautiful appearance, all Xianbei women who are considered to be Zhouzheng are in Linxiang cities. The remaining ones in Xilin City are mostly few and few in color and rough in appearance. However, they are quite capable of giving birth but also have special skills. Moreover, ordinary families are the primary priority for their ability to work and give birth. As for their appearance, they actually don’t pay much attention to it. It should be noted that even middle-aged women who are neat and gentle in their hands and feet can buy 100,000 yuan. This shows how precious women in Xilin City are.
The Hu people in the Liu family formed their own lineage in the city. They were not divided into Wuhuan, Mixed Hu, or Xianbei.
It made Liu Bei very surprised.
In other words, the Hu people who followed Liu Bei actually surpassed their blood ties and tribes. Instead, they followed their surnames. It felt like Hu Hua's paternal system. Liu Bei thought about it carefully, perhaps it was the beginning of the transformation of tribes to agriculture and animal husbandry.
There are 100,000 Hu tribes and tens of thousands of good horses in Xilin City. When Dali City is built, 10,000 sets of armor will not be a problem. Once there is a change, Liu Bei will give the order and easily recruit 10,000 iron cavalry and hand it over to the command of Zhao Yun, Taishi Ci, Huang Xu and others. It will definitely be invincible.
King Guiyi was much older than Liu Bei thought.
A gray-white crane hair draped over her shoulders, an eagle-eyed nose, a little weak. However, she was extremely energetic. It seemed that an old wolf in the snowfield who would die at any time could always survive the cruelest winter. All those who thought he would die first died earlier than him.
This is Liu Bei’s first feeling.
Even in the hot summer, wearing a thick bear's skin cloak, Liu Bei felt that his body was cold.
However, whenever he mentions his children, he will always slowly overflow from the cold and dry bones with an unconcealed warmth.
This is an extremely restrained old man.
Liu Bei praised the title: "I am fortunate to know you, the king."
King Guiyi smiled and praised his title: "I am lucky to have a son-in-law like this."
Liu Bei grinned: "How about I am better than the Great Shanyu?"
King Guiyi paused slightly and said, "You are stronger, younger and healthy than him."
Liu Bei nodded gently: "I will take back my hometown outside the pass."
King Guiyi also nodded: "If I were still alive at that time, I would be a virtuous son-in-law who would overcome all obstacles and be a front-line pawn."
Liu Bei sighed in his heart: "There are so many heroes on the grassland."
King Guiyi also sighed: "Life is in the world for only a few decades. Even longevity is only a hundred years. The Han family lasts for four hundred years. Thinking about four hundred years ago, Maodun Shanyu destroyed the Donghu, conquered Loufan, and dominated the grassland. Four years ago, the Great Shanyu Tanshihuai robbed Han County in the south, resisted Dingling in the north, attacked Fuyu in the east, retreated to Wusun in the west, and occupied the homeland of the Xiongnu, more than 1,000 miles from east to west, and more than 7,000 miles from north to south. Now, I sit opposite my son-in-law. Both grassland heroes have died, and the Han Court is still there. What is the less grassland than the Han Court?"
Seeing that Liu Bei was silent, King Guiyi gently put down his imperial wine title and said, "Two hundred years ago, the Western Qiang was the great enemy of life and death in the Han court, and now the Qiang Rebellion has gradually subsided. I heard that the Western Qiang is a descendant of Emperor Yan. Therefore, I thought: 'The strong cannot be with the enemy, so they will be with the strong'."
"Book of the Later Han Dynasty: Biography of the Western Qiang": "Qian is the descendant of the Sanmiao and Jiang surname". In ancient times, Yan Emperor formed an alliance with Huangdi and married two daughters with Huangdi. From then on, all the descendants of Yan and Huangdi were descendants of Yan and Huangdi.
Liu Bei understood the heart of King Guiyi.
Then he stopped verbally tempting. He was in awe and frequently praised his titles. He was drunk without realizing it. He forced himself to stand up and sent King Guiyi into the car and watched him drive out of the palace.
Gongsun came out to support her. Liu Bei gently broke free from her hand and took a step back. After standing firm, he bowed to Gongsun to the ground.
Gongsun then bowed to the ground and returned the gift.
Looking up again, Liu Bei's eyes were clear and clear: "The woman in the grassland has a miserable fate. Mrs. Wan Hope treats her kindly."
"I know."
He looked up again and saw that the deputy Fuluo, who was standing on the large flat seat on the second floor of the East Hall, was already in tears.
Liu Bei smiled and waved his hand, his eyebrows were full of sunshine. Seeing that he was unstable, Gongsun stepped forward gently and held his shoulders.
Deputy Fu Luo hurriedly wiped his tears and bowed to the ground.
When he got up again, Liu Bei had already slept soundly against Gongsun.
Liu Bei felt.
After Gongsun Yan and Gongsun Lan merged into one, it was difficult for him to go through the three-way combination under Gongsun Yan.
The difference between first-class and top-notch is so big.
When I woke up, I felt refreshed.
Gongsun had already gotten up first. Then he ordered people to bring hot water to sober up Liu Bei's face.
After sorting out his appearance, he respectfully sent Liu Bei to the main hall to discuss with the retainers in the early morning.
Lin Township officials generally eat three meals a day. If they encounter a night banquet, they will have four meals. If there are endless discussions in the morning, Liu Bei will hold a banquet, and the chief minister will eat in the same hall. When the lunch hall is over, he will continue to discuss it.
Many retainers met Liu Bei when they were young, and they had been together for a long time and had a happy time.
The biggest thing recently is that I am granting marriage.
However, the etiquette of marrying a wife and taking a concubine cannot be used as a wife.
It also needs to be combined with the customs of the Hu people on the grassland. Therefore, many details need to be discussed. As the wedding date approaches, King Khan Lu and King Guiyi have moved into the residence of Linxiang. The embroidered clothes guards day and night, for fear of a small difference. If one is not careful, the one with ulterior motives will have an opportunity to take advantage of it. Marriage becomes a grudge, wouldn’t it be beautiful?
Finally, three days before the wedding date, the full set of gifts was agreed.
The wedding venue was also moved from Lou Sang to Linxiangcheng.
The wedding was changed to seeing off the bride. King Guiyi and King Khan Lu sent the two wives Ru to the palace gate. Liu Bei welcomed them in.
"Three Kingdoms: Wei Shu·Book of Wei·Biography of the Dongyi of Wuhuan": "They got married first, and they had a private relationship, and they were briefly (plundered) to leave their daughter, or half a year and a hundred days old, and then they sent a matchmaker to send horses, cattle and sheep as a gift for hiring. The son-in-law returned with his wife and saw that his wife's family had no high or low status, so he stood up and bowed to him, but did not worship his parents. He served as a servant for two years, and his wife sent his daughter to live in wealth and property, and left his wife's family. Therefore, he followed the plan of the woman and decided to himself when he was fighting."
It means that the Wuhuan couple first had an affair. Half a year later, he sent a matchmaker to send horses, cattle and sheep to marry him. The man brought the betrothal gift to his wife's house, but he could not hold a wedding, but came to be a cattle and a horse and lived in his wife's house. No matter who his wife's family was, he would go to salute one by one every morning. However, he never bowed to his parents. After two years of getting up early and working as a cattle and being a horse, the man could marry his wife openly. His wife's family would also prepare a very generous dowry, and all the belongings were handled by his wife's family.
After marriage, all family affairs are decided by the wife. There is an exception. When Wuhuan encounters disputes, the husband can make his own decisions.
It seems wild and vulgar. After careful consideration, it seems to be very similar to modern wedding customs.
First fall in love freely, then live together and try to get married for half a year. If you get along, you will go to the woman's house to propose marriage. Work hard and work hard and be a ox and a horse for two years. If you can still bear it at this time, you can truly become a husband and wife.
Um……
Chapter completed!
