Manor Romance

Chapter 281: Tongshen Mountain

Sure enough, the mute came back very soon. Before the people arrived, the snow wolf dog had already sent them a signal in advance, rushed out the door to bring the mute back, and then continued to stay at Yunli's feet.

"Yi Yi Ya Ya, Yi Yi Ya Ya!" When he came back and saw Yunli, the mute was so happy that he danced like a child, with a deep babbling sound coming from his throat, he came directly to hug Yunli.

His stature is shorter than Lao Yang, and his height just reaches Yunli's shoulders, but today he is wearing a brown round mink fur cap, and when he hugs Yunli, the fluffy tall hat covers his face face, which made his nose itchy and almost sneezing, but the mute was too happy to notice these details.

In the end, it was Lao Yang who pulled him away and called the dumb new wife over. The two stood in front of Yunli. The people on the prairie are very good at equestrian skills, and they can make very good butter milk tea, you must try it later."

"Hello, Dumb is a friend I cherish very much. Although God gave him a little flaw, but at the same time let him have an extremely pure heart. He is a very good guardian. I hope you can grow old happily. This It's my little care for you." Yun Li said solemnly to Balan, and at the same time handed the gift he had prepared to the two of them.

"Thank you, Tashi Dele." The mute took the gift wrapped in a small box and smiled at Yunli. Balan also politely replied. She wears national costumes, but her ordinary face gives people a very gentle feeling. She is also a very shy girl, and she will blush when talking to strangers, but it can be seen that she has a good relationship with the mute.

The mute couldn't wait to open the small gift box. It is the local habit that no matter what festive gift they receive, they must open it in front of the giver. No matter whether the gift is expensive or not, they must express their gratitude to the giver on the spot.

Inside the small box is a pair of golden dragon and phoenix bracelets, this is the wedding gift that Yunli prepared for Dumb, it is a pure gold bracelet, very precious, although it looks a bit vulgar, but Yunli has inquired about it beforehand, here People in China believe in Buddhism, and they especially like goldware. It is very suitable to send gold products as wedding gifts.

Both the mute and Balan liked this gift very much. Their personalities were not hypocritical at all. They would not pretend to refuse a gift they liked and expensive, but accepted it generously and expressed their gratitude. In the days to come, give back and repay, this is their way of gratitude.

Seeing that they all liked this gift, Yunli was relieved. He has been very troubled about the gift these two days. No matter how he chooses it, he feels that it is not satisfactory. He even thought about picking one from the Sumeru Stone to give I got it for the dumb, but the idea was self-rejected in the end, not because he was reluctant, but because the things inside the Sumeru Stone were too eye-catching, and giving it to the dumb would only bring them potential distress. Gift.

"Then I have to give you a formal introduction. This is Lu Ci, my girlfriend. Maybe it won't be long before we can invite you to the manor for a wedding. As for Xiaoya, she has no manners at all." Yunli introduced Lu Ci and Xiaoya to them, but for some reason, the little girl's mood became very bad, and she lost her temper and shouted to go home.

Lu Ci nodded to the mutes. Hearing Yun Li's words were half sweet and half funny, he could only comfort the little girl while explaining, "You didn't make it up to me, come and explain to her and apologize."

"Why are you blaming me again? I've behaved pretty well today, Xiaoya, come here and give me a hug." Yun Li was puzzled, and reached out to hug the little girl to ask what was the matter.

"No, let's go home!" Xiaoya played wild in Lu Ci's arms, but she refused to let Yunli hug her, and she didn't dare to say it out loud. This is not to play a small temper, but really sad.

"Didn't you always call her a little dumb before, and you said you would give her to a big dumb as a daughter, now that you know that there is such a person, who really appears in front of you, what do you make her think?" Lu Ci explained angrily.

"Uh..." Yun Li realized that he was the one who had fallen behind, and immediately turned his head, and soon came up with a solution, and said to the little girl, "I was wrong, I was just joking before, and she is very dumb. I'm going to have a baby by myself, now I don't care about you, a little dumb, you can't go anywhere now, you can only stay with us."

"I'm only with sister Lu Ci, I don't want to play with you anymore." The child's temper is more unpredictable than the weather, Yun Li's consolation did not succeed, but the little girl calmed down after hearing this, Lu Ci winked at him, indicating that she could settle it.

Yun Li spread his hands to everyone to express his helplessness, but everyone could understand the child's temper, the mute liked children very much, and really planned to give birth, but knowing that he was Xiaoya's shadow, he didn't go up to comfort her. On the contrary, Balan was very considerate, and took off a string of small bells tied together with ribbons from his waist to give to Xiaoya.

The string of small bells can make a crisp sound of "ding ding". The sound is not loud but very pleasant. With Lu Ci's tacit consent, the little girl took over the small bells and played with them carefully. The crisis was finally resolved. It's coming.

"Okay, there are still some ceremonies to be carried out later. When the sun sets, everyone will light a fire and have dinner. You will definitely like it." Lao Yang explained to them, and the mute nodded sharply in agreement.

"Well, let's just watch from the side, maybe it will be useful soon, I have to study hard." Yun Li also nodded and replied, this made everyone laugh, and then Lao Yang went to Other things were arranged, while the dumb and Balan continued to go through the marriage custom process under the guidance of the old man.

They are a place where Chinese and Tibetan cultures meet, and they have their own unique customs and culture. They attach great importance to such important events as marriage. There are many procedures and ceremonies, but for the parties, this is only once in a lifetime, so Even though it was cumbersome, they would enjoy the process. Yunli and Lu Ci also watched with the mute's other relatives and friends, but the snow wolf dog slipped away at some point or where.

There is a very important process in the ceremony, that is, they have to stand up the ribbon pole, which is made of many long bamboo bundles, slender and strong, with two large golden bells tied on the top of the bamboo pole, which are wrapped around from the top to the bottom. All kinds of ribbons and blessing paper talismans can form a large round umbrella when the ribbon pole is erected. They call this "Tongshen Mountain", which is an important medium to connect with the gods and pray to them for blessings.

Whenever there is a major celebration, they will set up such a mountain to pray for blessings. The bigger the mountain, the greater the sincerity and the more blessings they can get. Like the dumb wedding, there are more than ten bamboo poles Meters long, tied up as thick as an adult's waist, plus the ropes and ribbons tied to it, this Tongshen Mountain weighs almost a thousand catties, and it is not easy to stand up.

Standing up the ribbon pole should be done in one go, there can be no mistakes in the middle, and it must be carried out along the track of sunrise and sunset. Therefore, when erecting the ribbon pole, everyone needs to work together to do this well. Dumb, their relatives and friends all come to help erect the ribbon pole Yes, Yunli also participated in it with great interest, and Lao Yang had already made preparations for the matter. They needed to pull the long rope together to pull the ribbon pole upright and fix it.

This thing looks very simple, but when you try it yourself, you know that it is a lot of physical work, and it is very skillful. It takes a good sense of cooperation.

Lao Yang and his family in Xigang are considered to be in relatively good conditions. This time, he made the ribbon pole very large, but the length of the rope is limited, and it can only accommodate a dozen or so people to pull it. At first, he felt that it was not safe. , I want to extend the rope so that more people can pull it, but everything is new for the wedding ceremony, and they can't find a new rope for a while.

Seeing that the auspicious time was about to pass, they acted according to the original plan under Yunli's suggestion. It wasn't that difficult, and he had the confidence to propose it to them.

After the construction of Tongshen Mountain, everyone began to prepare for the dinner. Different from other areas in the southwest, the wedding banquet here likes to be held in the way of herdsmen. A big fire is set up next to Tongshen Mountain, and the whole sheep is roasted. Roasted naan, highland barley wine, butter milk tea and other grassland delicacies were presented one by one. Everyone enjoyed the food and wine and celebrated and danced around the fire.

When the dinner was just served, Wang Chengyuan finally arrived. Except for the driver, he did not bring anyone else. He had a lot of work recently, and it was not easy to catch up. The mute and Lao Yang were quite happy to see him. Pleased, please take him into the seat immediately.

The wedding gift Wang Chengyuan gave the dumb was in line with Yunli's idea, they were all gold, but what he gave was a big golden pig, which was much more valuable than Yunli's pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets, and the dumb was stunned when he opened it It's not just him, even other people are shocked and envious when they see it. This big golden pig is worth a large herd of cattle and sheep.

Not only that, but Wang Chengyuan also brought a gift from Boss Qi Shi Qi, which was a pair of emerald green jade bracelets. Those who know the business can tell that this pair of bracelets is also quite expensive, at least worth six figures. Small.
