Chapter 931: Surprising Wedding Customs
Li Sanniang was amused by putting a high hat on others. Jenna laughed when she saw Li Sanniang was stunned for a moment. Although she didn’t understand, she followed suit. Yang Yang also laughed.
"Haha, this is the first time I have heard such complimentary words. It is really interesting.
Jenna, please sit down."
Song Fuling brewed the cup in time. When the tea was served, Jenna skillfully picked up the tea cup and took a few sips to taste it, "Good tea! It tastes sweet, it's really good tea!"
It was not that Li Sanniang had never interacted with foreigners, but among the foreigners she had come into contact with, she had definitely seen a few women like Jenna who always put on high hats and praised others when she spoke.
Moreover, Jenna is a foreign woman who speaks Chang'an Mandarin so fluently, which is even more impressive.
"You don't come to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. Since you are here, there must be something to do. Tell me, what is the matter?"
Jenna was stunned for a moment after hearing Li Sanniang's question. Zi, "You speak Mandarin so well, and you also understand the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty, but I am really busy and have too many things to do. If you have something to say, just say it.
I can help if I can, help. If you are not busy, you might as well not waste time and ask others for help.”
"It makes Supervisor Li laugh. I have been in Chang'an for a long time, and most of the officials I met told the truth in a roundabout way.
Since Supervisor Li is busy, I will tell the truth without talking nonsense.< br>
My mother-in-law, He Bu, came to Dr. Li’s door to ask for a place to go to the Women’s Medical College alone.”
Li Sanniang first went to see Song Fuling. As soon as Song Fuling caught Li Sanniang’s eyes, she said, He went to the desk where he was and rummaged around for a while. After a few breaths, he found a booklet and walked to Li Sanniang and presented it to her.
Li Sanniang looked at the number of places sent by Honglu Temple from various ethnic tribes to study at the Women's Medical College, and saw only one person in Zhenla.
Putting down the folded book, Li Sanniang looked at Jenna questioningly.
Jenna stood up and bowed to Li Sanniang, and explained the matter clearly in a few words.
The original Taoism is that Zhenla is divided into four major tribes, and the Pohe tribe is the second largest tribe among them.
The patriarch of the Pohe tribe is the mother of Akilaya. Akilaya is the girl who gave Luzhu'er a rope of true love at the gate of the city.
“. She bled to death because she heard after childbirth that the Moling tribe led people to rob our Pohe tribe’s mines, leaving only Akilaya.
And the man who led the way for the Moling tribe was the man who married into our Pohe tribe, that is, Nesoteli, Akilaya's father. ”
Li Sanniang didn’t feel much about what Jenna said. This matter between the tribes of a small and medium-sized country sounds like a marriage between two wealthy families somewhere in the Tang Dynasty because of interests, but In the end, you eat me and I eat you because of profit.
Among them, the poor one is probably the child Akilaya.
However, Song Fuling stood there. Next to Li Sanniang, there was a bit of surprise in her eyes at this time
“The world is so big, it’s really full of surprises, it’s true that women marry men! ”
Jenna smiled slightly sadly. She raised her head and looked at Li Sanniang again: "This is the Tang Dynasty pilgrimage. Due to the conflict with the Moling tribe, our Pohe tribe came alone.
But the Honglu Temple only recognizes the Moling tribe, so I thought of asking Dr. Li if there could be an extra spot so that someone from the Pohe tribe could learn this magical skill!”
Jenna hit her left chest with a fist in her right hand. This is the etiquette of the Pohe tribe, which means respect and gratitude.
"Jenna asked Dr. Li for help, and Jenna is very grateful!"
The pressure is on Li Sanniang. Of course she is in the quota for selecting people to go to Ping An Women's Medical College to learn skills. There is power to increase or decrease.
But the question is, why did Li Sanniang want to join the Pohe tribe?
Seeing Li Sanniang's scrutinizing gaze, Jenna stood up straight and took out the wooden box she had brought when she came to the door from the table beside her.
The lid is opened, and the inside is full of gold.
"Jenna knows that this move is difficult for Dr. Li, so it is my mother-in-law's wish to ask Dr. Li to accept these."
It is gold wherever and whenever it is. Good thing, but Li Sanniang took one look at it and took it back.
"I understand your request, but I can't accept it. You should know that there are supervisory censors among the officials of the Tang Dynasty.
However, I think your proposal is very good. Increase the quota. I will discuss this matter with the Langguan of Honglu Temple later, and you will have news after a few days."
In the end, Jenna still wanted to keep the box of gold, Li Sanniang. Of course, I didn't dare and couldn't accept it, so I persuaded people to send it out the door. "Master, it is true that women marry men in this world!"
Li Sanniang smiled and stretched out her finger to tap the tip of Song Fuling's nose, "You kid, I said Why are you so surprised?
My master thought you were confused by the box full of gold, but my good disciple was surprised that this woman was marrying a man. "
"Master, I have seen more gold than this box at Mrs. Zhongli's place. The gold that Mrs. Zhongli donated to our obstetrics and gynecology hall was packed in boxes, which are much larger than that small box. .
The disciple has seen so much gold, so he is not surprised by what is in this small box.
But what is really surprising is the fact that Jenna said that the leader of their tribe is a woman, and she is also married to a man from another tribe! "
Qiuxiang took over the conversation and said: "Are you surprised here? ”
"Sister Qiuxiang, is there anything more surprising?"
"Of course there is."
"Good sister, tell me quickly."
Song Fuling diligently poured a cup of tea for Qiuxiang, "Before I was sent to Sanniangzi, I was also on a mission in the alliance.
A few years ago, I went to the Southwest with others. Exploring the land, you think it is surprising that a woman marries a man, but in fact there is something even more shocking than this
Walking marriage is an even more surprising custom than a woman marrying a man. "
" Walking marriage? "
Song Fuling repeated the two words Qiu Xiang said. When Li Sanniang heard these two words, she remembered the introduction she had read somewhere in modern times. Listening to Qiu Xiang's explanation , Li Sanniang nodded in her mind, matching this walking marriage with the customs she had seen in her mind.
"The tribes there simply don't have marriage. In our Tang Dynasty, men marry women. Marry, in Zhenla it is a woman who marries a man, but in the southwest it is not a law to marry a man.
People choose the time. If both men and women are interested, then they can be together.
If a woman has a child, she will give birth to it and be raised by her maternal clan members, such as her uncle, younger brother, and her mother, etc. It has nothing to do with the man.
When the man returns to his tribe, he also has to help his sisters or nieces raise their children with men from other tribes.
This is walking marriage.
Isn’t it more surprising than a woman marrying a man? ”
