Emperor Kangxi sent me to marry

Chapter 205 Sea Clam
"Delicious and tender Juss,

It was a whole sheep dedicated to Yue-zhang;
Rich and delicious wine,
It is the fine wine to thank relatives and friends;
Holy and precious Hada,
It is a gift for seeking fame;
Gold and silver interlocking rings,
It is a proof of marriage as a spouse. "

The singing is melodious, resounding through Kulun Grassland Sleepless Night.

Kangxi specially decreed that this engagement banquet should be as grand as possible according to Mongolian customs.Not only the princes and nobles from the three tribes of Khalkha gathered, but even the 49 tribes in Monan sent decent representatives to save face for the four princesses.This is a good opportunity to bridge the generational gap between the Tuxietu Khan and the Zhasaktu Khan. Except for the grandfather of the fourth princess, Sanguanbao, Zhasaktu Khan is the most honorable seat at the table.

The eldest elder brother and the fifth elder brother took the kumiss and thanked the guests one by one according to their seats. They couldn't take it anymore after drinking half of it.Fortunately, Hai Feng has nine uncles who can help to block, otherwise the two elder brothers will have to make a fool of themselves.

The hustle and bustle outside belonged to the men, and the banquet would not end until dawn, while the women prepared to dress up the bride, prepare for the ceremony and other trivial matters.With several sister-in-laws and sister-in-laws, Ji Lan repeatedly counted the five gifts to be given to her son-in-law and in-laws tomorrow.

There are new white mandarin jackets, snuff bottle bags, silver bowl bags, horse forehead protectors, cigarette purses, and so on, all of which are piled up in three large boxes.

Haifeng saw the needlework, the stitches were fine and the stitches were vivid, and it couldn't be done in a hurry, so he knew that his mother had been preparing for it many years ago.

"How did Ernie prepare so much? If you hang them all on your body, can Dobu still walk around?"

Among the nine daughters-in-law of Sanguanbao, the youngest was the most eloquent, and hurriedly said:

"The princess doesn't know. Every time we enter the Shengjing Palace to greet Concubine Jing, the lady doesn't have any needles, thread, or embroidery frame even once. If this is the case, the lady still thinks it is simple!"

Ji Lan was a little embarrassed when his sister-in-law told her straight up.

"Only this is my heart. The rest are all given by the emperor. Mongolian customs, the more these things, the more it seems that the mother's family loves the son-in-law and values ​​the daughter."

After tonight, when the first light appeared, Dobu took her out of the tent. Hai Feng knew that it would be difficult to see her mother for a few more years.So after everything was packed, I politely invited the nine aunts and the eldest princess to rest in the nearby tent, and then pulled my mother to lie on the bed and talk.

Ji Lan was full of joy, but at the same time conflicted. She was reluctant to give birth to her daughter too early, and asked seriously when the official wedding date was set.

"The eldest grandson Taiji is not young. He is 16 years old. It is reasonable to have a concubine and a concubine by his side. It is not easy for him to be so considerate of your face. We have to show some sincerity to the in-laws. But if you are like the third princess I'm only fourteen when I get married next year..."

Haifeng still doesn't know what Kangxi said to Chahun Dahan, so she can't answer this question.

"It's Khan Ahmadin after all. Don't worry about Ernie. A few days ago in Duolunuoer, Dobu promised that we, we will have another child in a few years."

Ji Lan was moved, and seeing her daughter trust her son-in-law so much, she began to worry that she would be manipulated by Dobu after marriage.

"Feng'er, Er Nie told you something important, please remember it well."

"Ok!"

"You have to remember, if this man likes a woman to the extreme, it's not that you are gone, he is willing to die for love; but when he can't save himself, he still thinks about how you should live in the future. Changsun Taiji is now proud , you are also young and beautiful, so you naturally live harmoniously. Everything is rare in the world, and princes, generals and ministers cannot escape life, old age, sickness and death. Only when you encounter difficulties and he treats you well, that is the real heart and soul."

Hai Feng could tell that behind what his mother said, there must be a sad and touching story hidden.Presumably, my mother was also loved and cared for by a man before she could say such a comment.

"Feng'er remembered."

Ji Lan was afraid that her daughter would go to bed too late and her make-up would not look good tomorrow, so she ignored Hai Feng's coquettish behavior and forced her to lie down and go to bed.

"You, don't be so willful. There are so many princes Fujin and Junjun Gege outside to congratulate you. It's shameful to close your eyes tomorrow. Besides, Changsun Taiji was so generous when he gave the bride price that he even used his forehead I will send it here for you to use. The bride is not in a radiant state, what a disappointment to him."

With that said, he opened the brocade box and showed his daughter the headband inside.The gold ribbon and black satin decorated on it are as good as new; the pearls, agates, corals, and turquoises are all first-class quality, with bright colors and jewels.

"I heard that it is almost 20 years ago. If it is not carefully stored, it must not be so complete."

Hai Feng knew about this.In the previous life, the father-in-law gave her this set of hair masks on behalf of the deceased mother-in-law on the second day after passing through the family.It was only later that she heard Dobu talk about it, and that was the only souvenir he left behind in Ernie.

In order to match it with the most beautiful appearance, Hai Feng went to bed early.

When Ah Xiang woke her up the next day, the noise outside was louder than before going to bed. It should be the end of the banquet, and the men were all drunk and started booing.

Sister Sai Lun smiled, arranging the wedding clothes in her hands, and described the events at the banquet to the female relatives in the room.

"I heard from the eunuchs that the king of Bahrain broke the sheep and gave it to the son-in-law with a red willow stick inserted into the neck of the sheep. Our son-in-law is so strong that it was broken, so there is a lot of applause."

Now that the outside world has reached this stage, it is estimated that the forehead will come to invite the princess out in a short time.After Ji Lan directed the servants to dress her daughter, she combed her hair and put on makeup herself.

The eldest princess stood by to help out with ideas, and Ji Lan's ninth sister-in-law went out to ask for news, and rushed in again after a while.

"Oh, how good is this? There are many rules in Mongolia, after all, we are not fully prepared!"

Before the newcomer Hai Feng could ask, the princess spoke first:

"Don't worry, just tell me, everyone will help you figure out a solution. Where did you not expect that?"

"My family said that there will be a name question later, that is, the mother-in-law asked the mother-in-law's name, what is the girl's name. It turned out that the parents-in-law prepared it for the daughter-in-law in advance, and the forehead just asked him to come over and ask if the princess has a prepared name? If there is one, use the one the princess likes."

Ji Lan knew that this was usually an idea thought up by Mongolian families to prevent the new daughter-in-law from having the same name as the female elders of her husband's family.After living in her husband's house, the new daughter-in-law will be called this new name.

"Changsun Taiji is really careful. Even this question is asked of you first, and he doesn't make up his own mind. Come up with something nice and tell him."

Hai Feng didn't have a good idea. In her previous life, everyone in Mobei called her 'His Royal Highness'.

If you want to say a good name, it is naturally the current one, and it sounds the most pleasant to my ears.It's a pity that 'Haifeng' is a Han Chinese name.In Manchu and Mongolian, there is no such name.

"My aunt helped to tell my uncle that I wanted to use the name 'Sea Clam'."

When the eldest princess heard the name, she said yes again and again.

"This is the meaning of 'staff officer' in our Manchu language. You are resourceful and worthy of it."

Haifeng's casually chosen name will be more deeply rooted in people's hearts than the title given to her by Kangxi.The name of Princess Haiceng, after many years, resounded throughout the Mongolian grasslands, and even, it will be famous forever.

　After a few words, I have written all about the wedding, and let’s talk about Mongolia’s wedding customs. Here, I will first talk about the name Haiceng.

　　In the beginning of this article, the name was Princess Haiceng, because this was Princess Kejing's alias.Being disliked is not like an online article, it has been changed.The heroine's name also evolved from a sea clam.I removed the radicals first, leaving the word Haifeng. I thought it looked more like a man’s name, so I wanted to change it. After all, the pronunciation is nice, like Haifeng, and it has a free spirit when pronounced. Finally, I added a wooden border. , into Hai Feng.Dare to ask, what is the name like?Does it sound good?
