The thunderstorm continued, and Kawei could not even dream of it now. Not only did he harvest his wife, but he also lived in the boudoir where his wife had lived for more than ten years.
Isn't Lilia feeling abrupt?
She must follow the decision of her parents and must marry this young man named Kawei.
The stay in the chamber seems to be as long as a year, and when I leave the boudoir, I still hold my sister's little hand, everything is just like when I was a child. Now, she has to admit that she is a wife. Although it is a discordant tradition, the parents and the Rose chief have acted as witnesses and fully recognized the legality of marriage.
wedding? That is necessary.
The wedding is just a cutscene, and now the two are already a husband and wife relationship recognized by everyone.
Lilia tried to accept this fact and prayed that she would really be happy by marrying him. Up to now, the housework she has studied for many years has finally come in handy.
Kawei stared at the low-bodied woman, her slender hands were folding the leather clothes she had removed, as well as sorting belts and other objects.
Don't say Lilia is cautious, isn't Kawei?
He looked at Lilia's back with her long tresses drooping, and he couldn't help thinking about his future.
This girl is indeed very beautiful, can she be a good mother? Can you give birth to many little blacksmiths?
"Don't do it anymore, rest early."
Lilia couldn't understand Kawei's words, and the girl shook her hand and turned around quickly.
Although there is no experience of sleeping in a wooden bed, Kawei does not reject a new sleep experience. Besides, this room is clearly decorated more beautifully and neatly than in my hometown, and the patterned linen sheets under my body clearly exudes a special fragrance.
He patted the bed and Lilia knew that she was going to go.
The girl sits cautiously next to her husband, gently pressing his linen robe.
Her dexterous nose smelled the special smell from her husband. It was not an unpleasant smell of sweat, but a strange smell—sulfur.
What a weird man, is it that the Ross people are so weird?
Lilia still doesn't know the secret of sulfur soap. The newlywed husband is an elusive person. For safety, it may be the smartest to keep quiet.
In fact, only in terms of height, Lilia is taller than a girl of the same age in Novgorod. This is because her life for more than ten years is "pampering and gracious" compared to others. If she eats better, she naturally looks healthier, and a healthy woman also means beautiful.
Kawei's big, calloused hands lightly placed her shoulders, and said some gentle words.
Although Lilia didn't understand, she could understand each other's friendship. As a woman now, she is even more prepared for that.
"Lilia, you are so beautiful. It is my happiness to be able to marry you."
The girl turned her head slightly, she looked very beautiful with her face sideways.
"It seems that you still don't understand me. Well, you will gradually learn our language."
Kawei released his hand and lay down on his back, covered with his own deerskin blanket.
"I've been rowing all day. I washed my hair with sopa and finally felt comfortable. I'm very tired. I'll rest first. Lilia, you can rest too." Kawei said to himself, regardless of whether the new wife was married or not. Understand.
Seeing him lying down, Lilia breathed a sigh of relief, but she suddenly felt regretful in her heart, muttering in her heart: "Isn't my appearance satisfying him? Isn't it?"
Lilia, who was also tired, lay down, wrapped in her own five-layer soft linen blanket stitched together. And her hand stroked her latest extremely precious necklace from her husband.
At this moment, outside the wooden door, a member of the White Tree Manor was ordered to take advantage of the rainy night to eavesdrop on the sound inside the house. It was Rigus himself who gave the order, and he had put the chief leader of the Ruth and several important men to bed, and then he was in a complicated mood waiting for the clansmen to come and report a result.
The chamber was still brightly lit, and Rigus sat on pins and needles waiting for news.
In the rainy night, the tribe hurried over, and immediately reported: "Manor, they have fallen asleep."
Rigus was stabbed, his tired body suddenly straightened, his eyes squinted and widened like a bull's eye: "My daughter is already?! Become a woman?!"
"No, the Ross man didn't do anything. The room was very quiet, they had already rested."
"Eh? Is that Kawei really calm?!" Upon receiving this news, Rigus instantly developed a new level of favor with Kawei.
Rigus himself really didn't understand the marriage customs of the Ross people. Even the girls who married the Ross people last year, they all became women after they had their own weddings.
The sky continued to thunder, and the more such weather, Kawei must maintain complete restraint out of his own beliefs.
Thor, the patron saint of craftsmen, is also the **** of thunder. Kawei didn't dare to blaspheme his beliefs, he was even more exhausted out of physical and mental exhaustion, and now he just wanted to take a good rest.
All the Roths fell asleep, and Rigus did not hold on to the news that his daughter was still pure.
The rain washed the mud and grass flats, and the whole Novgorod fell asleep.
It rained all night, and the rain stopped after dawn.
The rain in early summer is always like this, coming and going quickly, unlike the rain in late autumn that often lasts for many days.
But the rain stopped. After the heavy rain, the whole world became muddy. In this case, the tribute still had to be collected as planned. It is really worrying for everyone to throw the muddy mud.
The sky was gloomy, and in addition, I learned from Rigus that the Pine Needle Manor also learned to collect tributes after the Ross people left. Otto decided to sanction them well.
After all, the rain affected the schedule of Sorgon. Looking at the status quo, Otto felt that it was absolutely impossible for him to collect all the tributes of the manor in just one day.
The plan can't keep up with the changes, and it's helpless to stay for a few more days.
Think about something happy!
Early in the morning, Rigus saw his eldest daughter Lilia, and learned from her the fact that Kawei did not move any hands or feet to him after one night.
"Maybe Kawei is a restrained Ross. Well, you take a break. After the priest comes back, we will have the wedding at home." Rigus said, touching his daughter's face.
Lilia nodded, and then she went to dress up with her mother. She knew that sister Svetlana was also waiting for herself.
Rigus also sent someone to inform Kawi that since he became a son-in-law, he should change into the traditional clothes of local young men and participate in the Novgorod-style wedding in accordance with Novgorod's etiquette.
According to Novgorod tradition, the wedding should be held in the man’s house, and then a celebration banquet will be held in the man’s house.
After all, the home of the Rus is too far away, and they are not residents of Novgorod either.
Rigus has discussed with Otto that his daughter must first hold a wedding in his hometown. He really felt that he was taking advantage of this. The wedding was handled at the wife's house, so he could proudly tell other manor chiefs that he had hired a son-in-law.
When the youngest daughter grows up, the wedding ceremony between her and Rose's only son must also be handled in her own home. That's even bigger and cheaper!
Rigus has always had a noble status in the manor, and his daughters are also noble.
Distinguished people are exquisite in this respect. Why is it so troublesome for ordinary residents?
The head of the manor, Rigus, had already put the news down. Early in the morning, a group of residents of the manor brought their daughters who were to be married and gathered in the square of the manor.
Several fancy-dressed priests came to the square early. These goddesses wore coats that were obviously deliberately drooping linen strips, with a circle of rattan crowns on their heads, and tambourines with drooping cloth strips around the square The water well in the middle jumped the great god.
Unlike the Ruths, the priests of White Tree Manor did not have so much power. The value of the existence of the priests of the manor, except for the festival priests to do some rituals to pray for good weather, that is, as a witch doctor, chanting some spells that are said to be blessings to the patients.
The main reason is that they dance the magic spells, which can only provide psychological comfort to the patients. The inhabitants of the manor don't trust the priests much, they are more willing to believe in the decision of the manor Ligus.
Priests cannot blast away the Roths of Sorgon by chanting spells. Only the manor can use some means to make the manor pay some acceptable price to curb the rage of the Roths.
A group of girls from the manor wore plain clothes and flower crowns on their heads. They wore felt boots and walked on the muddy square.
Oncoming came a large group of Ross people, who stepped into the collective wedding scene under the leadership of the leader of Ross himself.
Rigus originally planned to hand over 30 girls, but after the news was delivered, 50 girls were sent to the scene by their parents!
Why? !
On the rainy night that just passed, those young Ross youths who returned with their pregnant wives not only proved themselves to take care of their wives, but also gave a considerable gift to subsidize the lives of their wives and parents.
Those families whose daughters are waiting to be married based on inquiries about this reality have lost all their indecision!
Marry a woman to a Ross man! The son-in-law will bring her daughter back to visit relatives. Visiting relatives is equal to a financial gift! The Ross people come every year, and they can get gifts every year!
If you marry your daughter to another manor, those people are not as generous as the Ross people.
Things were completely beyond Otto's expectations.
He couldn't think of Rigus's cooperation like this. It was for marriage, and he vowed to marry all the girls in White Tree Manor to young Ross men as wives.
They are willing to cooperate in this way, so why not do the Ross people?
The wedding scene began with a blind date meeting.
Fifty Ross boys brought their prepared dowry, or some rough amber stones, or some silver coins, and found a girl they were satisfied with.
As for the other fifty Ross boys, they chose to stay on the sidelines.
With a few pieces of amber and a dozen silver coins, you can take these treasures to Smolensk in the south during the slack time, and you can exchange a large amount of flax thread from the locals, or pay a small amount of silver coins in exchange for a substantial ration.
Compared with the tribute paid by the family, where is the bride price paid by the son-in-law more expensive? !
Because of marrying a daughter, even if it is a family in trouble, the poverty situation can quickly improve.
This marriage is obviously a good thing for a win-win situation.
After seeing this clearly to each other, the collective wedding ended smoothly in peace.
Because of severe rain disturbance and other incidents, Otto ordered all his staff to continue their stay.
The wedding was over, and the fifty young Ross men who had completed the wedding were taken home by their in-laws. Language barrier? That's not a big problem. They longed for their daughter and son-in-law to have **** with each other right away, and to do things thoroughly.
However, the Ross people all exercised restraint.
It's not that they have a high degree of self-discipline, it's all because of their beliefs. Only when the Roth’s own priest presided over the Roth-style wedding, the relationship between husband and wife can be solidified.
The priest of Rose will examine the bodies of these newlyweds, and if they are found to be unclean, the wedding must be abandoned. Of course, young men and women can still live their lives, that is, they will be despised by others, and the children they give birth will also be despised. For this reason, the Ross people really showed restraint and self-discipline in front of more residents of White Tree Manor.
Such a move is a strong mental shock.
Are they really barbarians? Will barbarians maintain spiritual restraint?
Even if it is a language barrier, a young Ross man with a wife can still realize that he is highly respected by his wife's family.
They are also teenage boys, and their brave and cruel temperament are also eager to be admired. They can understand this kind of praise from the faces of their parents-in-law, and they are happy to get it further.
Many newlyweds actually helped their parents-in-law to chop firewood. This kind move seems altruistic, but also a strong self-interest.
Newly-married girls have to accept the fact that their husbands are from Ross. Unlike their parents who laughed with money, they need to carefully understand who their husbands are.
The husband actually used a precious iron axe to help his family chop wood! This is unimaginable.
Since the husband is willing to do things for his family, then for himself...
The girls were moved one after another.
Fifty young men married girls from the White Tree Manor. Otto estimated that the entire Novgorod did not cooperate like White Tree in any other manor.
How about Pine Needle Manor?
Do not! This year, the estate needs sanctions.
The sky was still dim in the afternoon, but fortunately, the shadow of the sun appeared in the faintly western sky, and there might be no more rain for many days in the future.
After eating the brown bread and mead provided by White Tree Manor, Otto, who felt very comfortable, also personally inspected the barn full of tributes.
Although it was raining, he touched the linen bag full of oatmeal and rye kernels, and it was still very dry inside. The furs for tribute are also very dry, and the quantity is not different.
A batch of free-range chickens with all their flying feathers cut off were put into cages, and cattle and sheep that should have continued to graze were also taken back to the manor.
Rigus was very cooperative to hand over all the tributes!
Standing outside the barn full of tributes, Otto, in a good mood, held the hilt of the sword and said: "Ah, Rigus, it would be great if all the manors cooperated like you did!"
Rigus immediately raised his spirits, nodded and bowed to Otto's side, and deliberately said: "We are willing to be the servants of the Ross people forever, my master. There are just some people who still have great hostility towards you."
"Hostile?" Otto blew his beard contemptuously. "You mean the Pine Needle Manor?"
"Yes, it is them. I heard that they are the manor and the leader of Novgorod. Oh, this is really stupid. Smart manor knows that you are our masters."
"You are a great speaker."
"No, I'm talking from the bottom of my heart." Rigus continued to nod and bow his waist. "I have found all the children you want. Your Rurik needs servants. I found nine maids and a man for him. servant."
"Oh?" Otto hurriedly asked, "Why is there only one boy?"
"Yes. Because all the boys, when they grow up, will surely become farm laborers, and they will produce more wheat for the Ross people."
"So what's the situation with this boy?"
Rigus hurriedly replied: "The child's mother was killed by the bear by collecting mushrooms in the forest. We organized people to enter the forest to search for them. We killed the bear, but two people died as a result. The child's father was seriously injured and died. Poor, he has become a man. An orphan."
"This is destiny." Hearing this story, Otto instantly thought of his nephew Arik, "but he became a servant of my son, and it is also a destiny. A man and nine women, what are their ages?"
"All children are under eight years old, which meets your requirements."
Otto nodded: "Yes, the servant better not be older than the master. I want to see these children now."
In fact, Otto has no interest in a group of children at all. He saw little children whose clothes were still in tatters, so he was even less interested.
He noticed the little boy whose parents both died of bears. This boy has a dull face. The bear is his father-killing enemy. How can he take revenge if he is so dull and timid?
These children gathered at the door of Rigus's house. Otto examined the scenes of these children and was also closely watched by the children's parents.
Their young daughter is going to serve as a servant for the young son of the leader of the Roth people. They don't know whether the daughter is a good thing. The Roth people will pay ten silver coins for each child for this. This is of special concern to the girls' parents.
Otto pointed his finger at the boy and said to Rigus, "Let the boy come over."
"Yes." Rigus hurriedly pulled the boy over by himself.
The boy faced the tall and sturdy leader Ross, but he was still in a state of fear.
"A thin child, what's his name?" Otto asked.
"It's Camney," Rigus explained.
The name means stone. Otto stretched out his hand to place the boy's chin, looked left and right, and then let go: "At least my son has nothing to do with servants. Rigus, I don’t like this kid. He is too cowardly."
"This...maybe I should pick another excellent one."
"No need." Otto waved his hand. "A coward is best suited to be a servant. I just regret that this boy can't be trained as a fighter. My Rurik doesn't have this requirement."
After all, Otto unlocked his purse and handed it to the leader of Rigus; "Give the silver coins to the girls' parents. As for this Kamnier~www.novelhall.com~ his parents are dead, you, as the head of the manor Continue to take care of him, ten silver coins are a reward for you."
"Oh, great leader, you are so kind." Rigus quickly bowed his head and nodded.
"Benevolent? Maybe." Otto still remembered another thing, "A hunter and his loyal dog may share the same barbecue. You White Tree Manor are our loyal servants. It seems that the Pine Needle Manor now has it. Some new ideas, I really need to teach them a lesson."
Rigus immediately asked vigilantly: "Is it an offense?"
"Do you want us to attack?" Otto suddenly turned his head, staring at Rigus.
After all, as an old guy who has lived for more than fifty years, Otto can feel that this Rigus is very much looking forward to Ruth's army being able to take a good look at Pine Needle Manor.
"This...I don't know."
"You don't need to know. I haven't gone to Pine Needle Manor or other manor to collect the tribute. Rain and the wedding have delayed too much. Now, I want to gather my people. Tomorrow I will take them to Pine Needle Manor. The 10,000 pounds of wheat harvested from your white tree will be provided by Pine Needle Manor. And you, Rigus!"
"Yes, Master." Rigus complimented.
"Now you organize women to make a lot of toast for us. This will be the food for our return trip. Listen, the bread you provided to me yesterday seems to have a sour smell. My people have complained. This You are not allowed to play slippery once."
"Yes, I will do it at once. Your people can eat the latest baked bread."
Otto nodded: "All your ovens are turned on, and try to do it as much as possible. I plan to leave in three days. During this time, you must make a thousand pounds of oatmeal into a large toast. Otherwise, it will be disloyal."
"Yes." Rigus hurriedly agreed.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
The thunderstorm continued, and Kawei could not even dream of it now. Not only did he harvest his wife, but he also lived in the boudoir where his wife had lived for more than ten years.
Isn't Lilia feeling abrupt?
She must follow the decision of her parents and must marry this young man named Kawei.
The stay in the chamber seems to be as long as a year, and when I leave the boudoir, I still hold my sister's little hand, everything is just like when I was a child. Now, she has to admit that she is a wife. Although it is a discordant tradition, the parents and the Rose chief have acted as witnesses and fully recognized the legality of marriage.
wedding? That is necessary.
The wedding is just a cutscene, and now the two are already a husband and wife relationship recognized by everyone.
Lilia tried to accept this fact and prayed that she would really be happy by marrying him. Up to now, the housework she has studied for many years has finally come in handy.
Kawei stared at the low-bodied woman, her slender hands were folding the leather clothes she had removed, as well as sorting belts and other objects.
Don't say Lilia is cautious, isn't Kawei?
He looked at Lilia's back with her long tresses drooping, and he couldn't help thinking about his future.
This girl is indeed very beautiful, can she be a good mother? Can you give birth to many little blacksmiths?
"Don't do it anymore, rest early."
Lilia couldn't understand Kawei's words, and the girl shook her hand and turned around quickly.
Although there is no experience of sleeping in a wooden bed, Kawei does not reject a new sleep experience. Besides, this room is clearly decorated more beautifully and neatly than in my hometown, and the patterned linen sheets under my body clearly exudes a special fragrance.

Kawei's big, calloused hands lightly placed her shoulders, and said some gentle words.
Although Lilia didn't understand, she could understand each other's friendship. As a woman now, she is even more prepared for that.
"Lilia, you are so beautiful. It is my happiness to be able to marry you."
The girl turned her head slightly, she looked very beautiful with her face sideways.
"It seems that you still don't understand me. Well, you will gradually learn our language."
Kawei released his hand and lay down on his back, covered with his own deerskin blanket.
"I've been rowing all day. I washed my hair with sopa and finally felt comfortable. I'm very tired. I'll rest first. Lilia, you can rest too." Kawei said to himself, regardless of whether the new wife was married or not. Understand.
Seeing him lying down, Lilia breathed a sigh of relief, but she suddenly felt regretful in her heart, muttering in her heart: "Isn't my appearance satisfying him? Isn't it?"
Lilia, who was also tired, lay down, wrapped in her own five-layer soft linen blanket stitched together. And her hand stroked her latest extremely precious necklace from her husband.
At this moment, outside the wooden door, a member of the White Tree Manor was ordered to take advantage of the rainy night to eavesdrop on the sound inside the house. It was Rigus himself who gave the order, and he had put the chief leader of the Ruth and several important men to bed, and then he was in a complicated mood waiting for the clansmen to come and report a result.

In the rainy night, the tribe hurried over, and immediately reported: "Manor, they have fallen asleep."
Rigus was stabbed, his tired body suddenly straightened, his eyes squinted and widened like a bull's eye: "My daughter is already?! Become a woman?!"
"No, the Ross man didn't do anything. The room was very quiet, they had already rested."
"Eh? Is that Kawei really calm?!" Upon receiving this news, Rigus instantly developed a new level of favor with Kawei.
Rigus himself really didn't understand the marriage customs of the Ross people. Even the girls who married the Ross people last year, they all became women after they had their own weddings.
The sky continued to thunder, and the more such weather, Kawei must maintain complete restraint out of his own beliefs.
Thor, the patron saint of craftsmen, is also the **** of thunder. Kawei didn't dare to blaspheme his beliefs, he was even more exhausted out of physical and mental exhaustion, and now he just wanted to take a good rest.
All the Roths fell asleep, and Rigus did not hold on to the news that his daughter was still pure.
The rain washed the mud and grass flats, and the whole Novgorod fell asleep.

The girls were moved one after another.
Fifty young men married girls from the White Tree Manor. Otto estimated that the entire Novgorod did not cooperate like White Tree in any other manor.
How about Pine Needle Manor?
Do not! This year, the estate needs sanctions.

"Hostile?" Otto blew his beard contemptuously. "You mean the Pine Needle Manor?"
"Yes, it is them. I heard that they are the manor and the leader of Novgorod. Oh, this is really stupid. Smart manor knows that you are our masters."
"You are a great speaker."
"No, I'm talking from the bottom of my heart." Rigus continued to nod and bow his waist. "I have found all the children you want. Your Rurik needs servants. I found nine maids and a man for him. servant."
"Oh?" Otto hurriedly asked, "Why is there only one boy?"
"Yes. Because all the boys, when they grow up, will surely become farm laborers, and they will produce more wheat for the Ross people."
"So what's the situation with this boy?"
Rigus hurriedly replied: "The child's mother was killed by the bear by collecting mushrooms in the forest. We organized people to enter the forest to search for them. We killed the bear, but two people died as a result. The child's father was seriously injured and died. Poor, he has become a man. An orphan."
"This is destiny." Hearing this story, Otto instantly thought of his nephew Arik, "but he became a servant of my son, and it is also a destiny. A man and nine women, what are their ages?"
"All children are under eight years old, which meets your requirements."
Otto nodded: "Yes, the servant better not be older than the master. I want to see these children now."
In fact, Otto has no interest in a group of children at all. He saw little children whose clothes were still in tatters, so he was even less interested.
He noticed the little boy whose parents both died of bears. This boy has a dull face. The bear is his father-killing enemy. How can he take revenge if he is so dull and timid?
These children gathered at the door of Rigus's house. Otto examined the scenes of these children and was also closely watched by the children's parents.
Their young daughter is going to serve as a servant for the young son of the leader of the Roth people. They don't know whether the daughter is a good thing. The Roth people will pay ten silver coins for each child for this. This is of special concern to the girls' parents.
Otto pointed his finger at the boy and said to Rigus, "Let the boy come over."
"Yes." Rigus hurriedly pulled the boy over by himself.
The boy faced the tall and sturdy leader Ross, but he was still in a state of fear.
"A thin child, what's his name?" Otto asked.
"It's Camney," Rigus explained.
The name means stone. Otto stretched out his hand to place the boy's chin, looked left and right, and then let go: "At least my son has nothing to do with servants. Rigus, I don’t like this kid. He is too cowardly."
"This...maybe I should pick another excellent one."
"No need." Otto waved his hand. "A coward is best suited to be a servant. I just regret that this boy can't be trained as a fighter. My Rurik doesn't have this requirement."
After all, Otto unlocked his purse and handed it to the leader of Rigus; "Give the silver coins to the girls' parents. As for this Kamnier~www.novelhall.com~ his parents are dead, you, as the head of the manor Continue to take care of him, ten silver coins are a reward for you."
"Oh, great leader, you are so kind." Rigus quickly bowed his head and nodded.
"Benevolent? Maybe." Otto still remembered another thing, "A hunter and his loyal dog may share the same barbecue. You White Tree Manor are our loyal servants. It seems that the Pine Needle Manor now has it. Some new ideas, I really need to teach them a lesson."
Rigus immediately asked vigilantly: "Is it an offense?"
"Do you want us to attack?" Otto suddenly turned his head, staring at Rigus.
After all, as an old guy who has lived for more than fifty years, Otto can feel that this Rigus is very much looking forward to Ruth's army being able to take a good look at Pine Needle Manor.
"This...I don't know."
"You don't need to know. I haven't gone to Pine Needle Manor or other manor to collect the tribute. Rain and the wedding have delayed too much. Now, I want to gather my people. Tomorrow I will take them to Pine Needle Manor. The 10,000 pounds of wheat harvested from your white tree will be provided by Pine Needle Manor. And you, Rigus!"
"Yes, Master." Rigus complimented.
"Now you organize women to make a lot of toast for us. This will be the food for our return trip. Listen, the bread you provided to me yesterday seems to have a sour smell. My people have complained. This You are not allowed to play slippery once."
"Yes, I will do it at once. Your people can eat the latest baked bread."
Otto nodded: "All your ovens are turned on, and try to do it as much as possible. I plan to leave in three days. During this time, you must make a thousand pounds of oatmeal into a large toast. Otherwise, it will be disloyal."
"Yes." Rigus hurriedly agreed.
The thunderstorm continued, and Kawei could not even dream of it now. Not only did he harvest his wife, but he also lived in the boudoir where his wife had lived for more than ten years.Isn't Lilia feeling abrupt?She must follow the decision of her parents and must marry this young man named Kawei.The stay in the chamber seems to be as long as a year, and when I leave the boudoir, I still hold my sister's little hand, everything is just like when I was a child. Now, she has to admit that she is a wife. Although it is a discordant tradition, the parents and the Rose chief have acted as witnesses and fully recognized the legality of marriage.wedding? That is necessary.The wedding is just a cutscene, and now the two are already a husband and wife relationship recognized by everyone.Lilia tried to accept this fact and prayed that she would really be happy by marrying him. Up to now, the housework she has studied for many years has finally come in handy.Kawei stared at the low-bodied woman, her slender hands were folding the leather clothes she had removed, as well as sorting belts and other objects.Don't say Lilia is cautious, isn't Kawei?He looked at Lilia's back with her long tresses drooping, and he couldn't help thinking about his future.This girl is indeed very beautiful, can she be a good mother? Can you give birth to many little blacksmiths?"Don't do it anymore, rest early."Lilia couldn't understand Kawei's words, and the girl shook her hand and turned around quickly.Although there is no experience of sleeping in a wooden bed, Kawei does not reject a new sleep experience. Besides, this room is clearly decorated more beautifully and neatly than in my hometown, and the patterned linen sheets under my body clearly exudes a special fragrance.He patted the bed and Lilia knew that she was going to go.The girl sits cautiously next to her husband, gently pressing his linen robe.Her dexterous nose smelled the special smell from her husband. It was not an unpleasant smell of sweat, but a strange smellsulfur.What a weird man, is it that the Ross people are so weird?Lilia still doesn't know the secret of sulfur soap. The newlywed husband is an elusive person. For safety, it may be the smartest to keep quiet.In fact, only in terms of height, Lilia is taller than a girl of the same age in Novgorod. This is because her life for more than ten years is "pampering and gracious" compared to others. If she eats better, she naturally looks healthier, and a healthy woman also means beautiful.Kawei's big, calloused hands lightly placed her shoulders, and said some gentle words.Although Lilia didn't understand, she could understand each other's friendship. As a woman now, she is even more prepared for that."Lilia, you are so beautiful. It is my happiness to be able to marry you."The girl turned her head slightly, she looked very beautiful with her face sideways."It seems that you still don't understand me. Well, you will gradually learn our language."Kawei released his hand and lay down on his back, covered with his own deerskin blanket."I've been rowing all day. I washed my hair with sopa and finally felt comfortable. I'm very tired. I'll rest first. Lilia, you can rest too." Kawei said to himself, regardless of whether the new wife was married or not. Understand.Seeing him lying down, Lilia breathed a sigh of relief, but she suddenly felt regretful in her heart, muttering in her heart: "Isn't my appearance satisfying him? Isn't it?"Lilia, who was also tired, lay down, wrapped in her own five-layer soft linen blanket stitched together. And her hand stroked her latest extremely precious necklace from her husband.At this moment, outside the wooden door, a member of the White Tree Manor was ordered to take advantage of the rainy night to eavesdrop on the sound inside the house. It was Rigus himself who gave the order, and he had put the chief leader of the Ruth and several important men to bed, and then he was in a complicated mood waiting for the clansmen to come and report a result.The chamber was still brightly lit, and Rigus sat on pins and needles waiting for news.In the rainy night, the tribe hurried over, and immediately reported: "Manor, they have fallen asleep."Rigus was stabbed, his tired body suddenly straightened, his eyes squinted and widened like a bull's eye: "My daughter is already?! Become a woman?!""No, the Ross man didn't do anything. The room was very quiet, they had already rested.""Eh? Is that Kawei really calm?!" Upon receiving this news, Rigus instantly developed a new level of favor with Kawei.Rigus himself really didn't understand the marriage customs of the Ross people. Even the girls who married the Ross people last year, they all became women after they had their own weddings.The sky continued to thunder, and the more such weather, Kawei must maintain complete restraint out of his own beliefs.Thor, the patron saint of craftsmen, is also the **** of thunder. Kawei didn't dare to blaspheme his beliefs, he was even more exhausted out of physical and mental exhaustion, and now he just wanted to take a good rest.All the Roths fell asleep, and Rigus did not hold on to the news that his daughter was still pure.The rain washed the mud and grass flats, and the whole Novgorod fell asleep.It rained all night, and the rain stopped after dawn.The rain in early summer is always like this, coming and going quickly, unlike the rain in late autumn that often lasts for many days.But the rain stopped. After the heavy rain, the whole world became muddy. In this case, the tribute still had to be collected as planned. It is really worrying for everyone to throw the muddy mud.The sky was gloomy, and in addition, I learned from Rigus that the Pine Needle Manor also learned to collect tributes after the Ross people left. Otto decided to sanction them well.After all, the rain affected the schedule of Sorgon. Looking at the status quo, Otto felt that it was absolutely impossible for him to collect all the tributes of the manor in just one day.The plan can't keep up with the changes, and it's helpless to stay for a few more days.Think about something happy!Early in the morning, Rigus saw his eldest daughter Lilia, and learned from her the fact that Kawei did not move any hands or feet to him after one night."Maybe Kawei is a restrained Ross. Well, you take a break. After the priest comes back, we will have the wedding at home." Rigus said, touching his daughter's face.Lilia nodded, and then she went to dress up with her mother. She knew that sister Svetlana was also waiting for herself.Rigus also sent someone to inform Kawi that since he became a son-in-law, he should change into the traditional clothes of local young men and participate in the Novgorod-style wedding in accordance with Novgorod's etiquette.According to Novgorod tradition, the wedding should be held in the man's house, and then a celebration banquet will be held in the man's house.After all, the home of the Rus is too far away, and they are not residents of Novgorod either.Rigus has discussed with Otto that his daughter must first hold a wedding in his hometown. He really felt that he was taking advantage of this. The wedding was handled at the wife's house, so he could proudly tell other manor chiefs that he had hired a son-in-law.When the youngest daughter grows up, the wedding ceremony between her and Rose's only son must also be handled in her own home. That's even bigger and cheaper!Rigus has always had a noble status in the manor, and his daughters are also noble.Distinguished people are exquisite in this respect. Why is it so troublesome for ordinary residents?The head of the manor, Rigus, had already put the news down. Early in the morning, a group of residents of the manor brought their daughters who were to be married and gathered in the square of the manor.Several fancy-dressed priests came to the square early. These goddesses wore coats that were obviously deliberately drooping linen strips, with a circle of rattan crowns on their heads, and tambourines with drooping cloth strips around the square The water well in the middle jumped the great god.Unlike the Ruths, the priests of White Tree Manor did not have so much power. The value of the existence of the priests of the manor, except for the festival priests to do some rituals to pray for good weather, that is, as a witch doctor, chanting some spells that are said to be blessings to the patients.The main reason is that they dance the magic spells, which can only provide psychological comfort to the patients. The inhabitants of the manor don't trust the priests much, they are more willing to believe in the decision of the manor Ligus.Priests cannot blast away the Roths of Sorgon by chanting spells. Only the manor can use some means to make the manor pay some acceptable price to curb the rage of the Roths.A group of girls from the manor wore plain clothes and flower crowns on their heads. They wore felt boots and walked on the muddy square.Oncoming came a large group of Ross people, who stepped into the collective wedding scene under the leadership of the leader of Ross himself.Rigus originally planned to hand over 30 girls, but after the news was delivered, 50 girls were sent to the scene by their parents!Why? !On the rainy night that just passed, those young Ross youths who returned with their pregnant wives not only proved themselves to take care of their wives, but also gave a considerable gift to subsidize the lives of their wives and parents.Those families whose daughters are waiting to be married based on inquiries about this reality have lost all their indecision!Marry a woman to a Ross man! The son-in-law will bring her daughter back to visit relatives. Visiting relatives is equal to a financial gift! The Ross people come every year, and they can get gifts every year!If you marry your daughter to another manor, those people are not as generous as the Ross people.Things were completely beyond Otto's expectations.He couldn't think of Rigus's cooperation like this. It was for marriage, and he vowed to marry all the girls in White Tree Manor to young Ross men as wives.They are willing to cooperate in this way, so why not do the Ross people?The wedding scene began with a blind date meeting.Fifty Ross boys brought their prepared dowry, or some rough amber stones, or some silver coins, and found a girl they were satisfied with.As for the other fifty Ross boys, they chose to stay on the sidelines.With a few pieces of amber and a dozen silver coins, you can take these treasures to Smolensk in the south during the slack time, and you can exchange a large amount of flax thread from the locals, or pay a small amount of silver coins in exchange for a substantial ration.Compared with the tribute paid by the family, where is the bride price paid by the son-in-law more expensive? !Because of marrying a daughter, even if it is a family in trouble, the poverty situation can quickly improve.This marriage is obviously a good thing for a win-win situation.After seeing this clearly to each other, the collective wedding ended smoothly in peace.Because of severe rain disturbance and other incidents, Otto ordered all his staff to continue their stay.The wedding was over, and the fifty young Ross men who had completed the wedding were taken home by their in-laws. Language barrier? That's not a big problem. They longed for their daughter and son-in-law to have **** with each other right away, and to do things thoroughly.However, the Ross people all exercised restraint.It's not that they have a high degree of self-discipline, it's all because of their beliefs. Only when the Roth's own priest presided over the Roth-style wedding, the relationship between husband and wife can be solidified.The priest of Rose will examine the bodies of these newlyweds, and if they are found to be unclean, the wedding must be abandoned. Of course, young men and women can still live their lives, that is, they will be despised by others, and the children they give birth will also be despised. For this reason, the Ross people really showed restraint and self-discipline in front of more residents of White Tree Manor.Such a move is a strong mental shock.Are they really barbarians? Will barbarians maintain spiritual restraint?Even if it is a language barrier, a young Ross man with a wife can still realize that he is highly respected by his wife's family.They are also teenage boys, and their brave and cruel temperament are also eager to be admired. They can understand this kind of praise from the faces of their parents-in-law, and they are happy to get it further.Many newlyweds actually helped their parents-in-law to chop firewood. This kind move seems altruistic, but also a strong self-interest.Newly-married girls have to accept the fact that their husbands are from Ross. Unlike their parents who laughed with money, they need to carefully understand who their husbands are.The husband actually used a precious iron axe to help his family chop wood! This is unimaginable.Since the husband is willing to do things for his family, then for himself...The girls were moved one after another.Fifty young men married girls from the White Tree Manor. Otto estimated that the entire Novgorod did not cooperate like White Tree in any other manor.How about Pine Needle Manor?Do not! This year, the estate needs sanctions.The sky was still dim in the afternoon, but fortunately, the shadow of the sun appeared in the faintly western sky, and there might be no more rain for many days in the future.After eating the brown bread and mead provided by White Tree Manor, Otto, who felt very comfortable, also personally inspected the barn full of tributes.Although it was raining, he touched the linen bag full of oatmeal and rye kernels, and it was still very dry inside. The furs for tribute are also very dry, and the quantity is not different.A batch of free-range chickens with all their flying feathers cut off were put into cages, and cattle and sheep that should have continued to graze were also taken back to the manor.Rigus was very cooperative to hand over all the tributes!Standing outside the barn full of tributes, Otto, in a good mood, held the hilt of the sword and said: "Ah, Rigus, it would be great if all the manors cooperated like you did!"Rigus immediately raised his spirits, nodded and bowed to Otto's side, and deliberately said: "We are willing to be the servants of the Ross people forever, my master. There are just some people who still have great hostility towards you.""Hostile?" Otto blew his beard contemptuously. "You mean the Pine Needle Manor?""Yes, it is them. I heard that they are the manor and the leader of Novgorod. Oh, this is really stupid. Smart manor knows that you are our masters.""You are a great speaker.""No, I'm talking from the bottom of my heart." Rigus continued to nod and bow his waist. "I have found all the children you want. Your Rurik needs servants. I found nine maids and a man for him. servant.""Oh?" Otto hurriedly asked, "Why is there only one boy?""Yes. Because all the boys, when they grow up, will surely become farm laborers, and they will produce more wheat for the Ross people.""So what's the situation with this boy?"Rigus hurriedly replied: "The child's mother was killed by the bear by collecting mushrooms in the forest. We organized people to enter the forest to search for them. We killed the bear, but two people died as a result. The child's father was seriously injured and died. Poor, he has become a man. An orphan.""This is destiny." Hearing this story, Otto instantly thought of his nephew Arik, "but he became a servant of my son, and it is also a destiny. A man and nine women, what are their ages?""All children are under eight years old, which meets your requirements."Otto nodded: "Yes, the servant better not be older than the master.
