   Peravina is not very tall. After taking off the burlap hat, she instantly showed her huge golden braids and the delicate awl-shaped face with white and slightly freckles.

   She seems to be very worried about her status quo. She keeps her head slightly hooked, and she stands stiffly. The opposite of caution is Arik’s smiling face.

"Haha! My dear brother, let me introduce to you. This is your new sister, Peravina. She is my new wife, and you and her will be a family in the future." Norse asked his wife: "Peravina, say hello to my brother."

   At this moment, Rurik finally understood that this girl who had never seen him before was obviously much older than him, was actually his own sister-in-law!

   In Scandinavia, there are very few terms for generational names among people, including the absence of a clear concept of "sister-in-law".

   People of the same generation are usually brothers and sisters, and call each other by their first names. Therefore, Peravina is obviously a woman of the same generation as Rurik, and naturally became his sister.

   The girl still seems very conscientious. She herself is unwilling to marry a Varange as his wife. For the safety of the family estate, she knows the importance of her mission.

   Maybe her husband named Arik is a kind person, but she has realized that she lives in the house of the leader of the Varang, and her husband is the leader's son.

  I have been in contact with the Varanga for a long time, and many people in the White Tree Manor know some Gnostic language more or less.

  Pelavina used her lame Nosse language and used simple vocabulary to fight with Rurik, and then she didn't want to talk more.

  While watching the show, Niya prepared a little snack, and kindly passed it over: "Arik, maybe she is a silent person?"

   "No! I think she is just a little scared. She also needs to learn our language." Arik laughed.

  Niya nodded, and brought a plate of dried salted fish to Peravina: "Eat some, kid. Don't be nervous, I will be your mother from now on."

   "Mother?" Peravina slowly raised her head.

The moma title of "mother" seems to be shared by humans, but later generations have theories pointed out that the entire Indo-European language family and the entire Sino-Tibetan language family are derived from the ancient Yenisei language family tens of thousands of years ago. Some of the core words are It is shared by all ethnic groups.

   The cautious Peravina basically understood Nina's words, and she also understood that the very old woman in front of her was the leader's wife.

   It seems that the Varangans live strictly according to the rules of monogamy? If that is the case, your future is not uncomfortable.

Peravina is also very clear about the meaning of "mother" now. More than ten days ago, she was recognized by the people of her hometown as the wife of the Varange according to the etiquette of her hometown. According to tradition, she was separated from the group of Baishu Manor. He left his own family and became a member of another family.

   Husband’s mother naturally became his own mother, and he had to live the rest of his life in Varangian style according to the traditions of the Varangans.

   It seems that everything is an irresistible fate.

  Pelavina was forced to accept, she slowly raised her hand, picked up a piece of dried salted fish and put it in her mouth.

   For an instant, the salty happiness filled her whole mouth, she subconsciously dared to stuff the whole dried fish into her mouth, and then chewed desperately. It's not over yet! A piece of herring was dried, and she hurriedly took another piece.

   It wasn't until a plate of jerky that there was only mediocre left, it seemed to have witnessed the surprised eyes of others, and then stopped. A finger sucking gesture once again inadvertently expressed her liking for dried fish.

  Lurik was surprised to see the process of his sister-in-law eating dried fish, everything was incredible.

   "Why does she like to eat those salted fish that I almost get tired of eating?!"

   Driven by curiosity, Rurik got up with many questions, and finally stood by his sister-in-law Peravina.

   At this time, he found through comparison that he was not taller than his sister-in-law's chest, and he was really a short man.

   Of course, compared with my brother Arik, the top of my head has just reached my brother's belly button.

   Leurik asked boldly in Nosse: "My dear sister, you are from Novgorod? What kind of place is that."

   The mention of the word "Novgorod" undoubtedly aroused Peravina's memories of the past.

   Subconsciously, she muttered in ancient Cyrillic.

   No one knows what she mumbled, anyway, Liu Rick clearly saw that the blue-purple eyes of the sister-in-law were bursting with tears.

   Her eyes are indeed different from those of the Ross tribe.

  Lurik had carefully observed himself on the surface of the water, with blue and white pupils, fair skin, and blond hair. If he were a girl, he must be the kind of natural Barbie doll?

   This Peravina is different. The blue-purple pupils in her eyes fully prove that she is completely different from the lineage of the Ross tribe.

In fact, in Europe, the relative separation of geography has made the three barbarians in the north that the Romans called: Germans, Slavs, and Baltic peoples. All three are Indo-Europeans, and their body structures have been very slightly different. , Can only be identified by careful observation.

Strictly speaking, the Vikings and the Germans are the same ethnic group, but the former encroached on Western Rome. Four hundred years later, the North Germanic tribes staying farther north were forced by the reality of the colder climate throughout Europe. Obtained the title of Viking, and began to go south on a large scale.

  Lurik wanted to chat with her a few more words, but after all he didn't get a clear response.

   But Rurik knows a little bit of Russian after a thousand years, and Novgorod is an extremely old city in the Slavic world. Through Peravina’s mumble, he can fully understand the taste of Russian.

   is really different from Gnoss, my sister-in-law’s mumbles are really full of tongue sounds, extremely fast speaking speed, and unique pronunciation under the action of the tip of the tongue and nasal sounds.

   To be honest, she speaks very nicely.

  Failed to chat with Peravina, and Lurik could only ask his brother Arik for more information.

   "Arik, since you are married, will you move out soon?"

   "Yeah! Why? Is it a bit reluctant?"

   "No." Rurik shrugged, "I know our traditions."

"I will move out soon." Arik subconsciously patted his cousin's forehead: "Rurik, you are the father's eldest son, understand? You want to inherit this family, and I want to inherit me Everything about my biological father Ogier. This winter I will move to my own house with my Peravina! Honey, I am married, and it has proved that I have grown up, hehe, maybe I will be a father by this time next year Up."

  Arik thought that his younger brother Rurik didn't understand, but in fact, Rurik knew all.

  He was in a very good mood and continued: "There are many beautiful girls in Novgorod. Rurik, when you grow up, you can find your wife anywhere."

   "Really? But I am too young now."

   Arik shrugged: "Soon, you will grow up in a few years."

   At this time, Niya interrupted Arik with a smile: "Silly boy, I know you performed the ceremony in Novgorod, but your marriage was not recognized by the tribe."

Niya’s words reminded Arik. He approached his new wife’s ear and said in Gnostic: “She’s right, you can’t actually call her mother now. And what you look like now, I should get rid of you. You should have your hair loose, and only after passing our wedding ceremony can you tie it up again."

   Peravina didn't understand it very well, and now she had to completely obey the man's orders.

   Soon, her blonde hair spread out. In Rurik's eyes, her sister-in-law has actually become more beautiful.

   After hearing the news again, his elder brother Arik, he also understood that his sister-in-law was just 18 years old, and Arik was actually the same age.

   Although Peravina is such an age, she seems younger no matter how you look at it, perhaps because Novgorod’s living conditions are not very good, and men and women are not as tall and strong as the people of the Rus tribe? ! It must be so.

  Lurik is not wrong in thinking this way. The staple food of the people of Novgorod is rye and wheat, and there are not many opportunities to eat meat. Although the Ross tribe has few opportunities to eat wheat, they eat a lot of fish and meat from wild beasts they have caught.

   When a person is growing up, the more meat he eats, the stronger he grows up.

   Novgorod, a city where manor and small villages are mixed, has a large population and their height is low.

   There are not many people in the Ross tribe, and they are full of strong people.

  In the fight between barbarians in ancient Europe, both sides always lacked tactics. At this time, which side is stronger, often has the ability to fight one against ten! The gathering of hundreds of Ruth Berserkers can indeed overthrow the professional farming organized by the various dealer families in Novgorod.

   After a brief contact, it is of course impossible for Rurik to understand the past of his sister-in-law, and even he does not understand the ancient Slavic meaning of the name "Pelavina".

In this era, the Rus tribe of the Varyags did not accept the Eastern Orthodox Church of East Rome. The same is true of the ancient Slavic tribes. The names of the populations of these tribes are varied, which looks like later generations. The only thing that people can choose from is the book. Of more than four hundred choices.

   Of course, like the Slavs, some inherent words describing flowers naturally continue, such as "Natasha", "Lilia" and "Katyusha", which have been used for at least two thousand years.

   This "Peravina" is not like this at all, her name is very simple and straightforward.

   The White Tree Manor in Novgorod has a population of up to two thousand. The interior is also divided into nuclear families and affiliated families. It is based on the concepts of "large clan" and "small clan", but they do not have a clear concept of surnames.

   "Pelavina" actually means "the eldest daughter". She is the eldest daughter of a small family of Baishu Zhuang clerk. She had reached the age of marriage, and her parents had already started the marriage.

   When the autumn harvest was over, the Varangans came again as scheduled. This time their leader took a lot of amber and asked Novgorod for the marriage of the young Varangans.

   For greater wealth, Peravina's parents decided to accept the dowry from Varanga.

   She is a pretty girl, and of course Otto personally supervises her Arik’s marriage, and in this way, her family gets a small packet of precious amber.

   is this bag of amber, and the family's identity in the manor has increased dramatically! Doing business with Amber and Smolensk in the south, the family quickly entered into the wealthy life they knew.

   Maybe this marriage was a win-win situation, although Peravina was more resistant at first.

   Now she is finally appointed, especially to eat salted fish!

  Because in Novgorod, it is the "inland area" in the pure sense! They did not have the ability to go along the river into the Arctic Ocean beach to boil the sea to make coarse salt. In fact, they knew little about the far north. The priest claimed that it was the residence of the **** of ice and snow, and entering by mistake would bring death.

   As for why the Varangans dared to come from the north, the priests of Novgorod claimed that the Varangans had made a deal with the ice body.

   The residents of Novgorod are extremely salt-deficient, UU reading www.uukanshu.com, but people want to eat salt. Eating marine fish and hunting wild animals, such hunters and fishermen do not have the problem of salt shortage. Those inland farmers could not expect to grow rye to get enough salt in the land. They had to buy it from private salt dealers in Eastern Rome at a high price.

   In fact, as early as the prosperity of the Roman Empire, a trade road from the Black Sea and the Aegean Sea north to Northeast Europe has always existed. On this trade road, coarse salt has always been a hard currency. Through this trade route, Eastern Rome obtained quite rich and precious animal skins, such as ferret skins, which became the decorations of noble clothing.

  In Roseburg, even though the seawater is very low in salinity, people still burn a lot of firewood to get the coarse salt in the sea. They are happy to do this, just to marinate more dried meat to survive the winter.

  Pelavina has eaten a lot of salt, so if her hair is put down, or she obeys her husband’s orders to do something, what else can she resist?

   Obviously I will not go hungry, and my future life will not be bad if I want to. The most important thing is that there is enough salt here!

Niya again asked the new couple: "Arik and Peravina, your marriage has not been approved yet. But I think the situation will change soon. On the next Frige Day, you will officially hold it. Wedding. Maybe a lot of people will have a wedding at the same time. It’s on our stone boat altar, and the priest Veria will hold it personally. At that time..."

  Niya thought about it again, and pointed to Arik’s matching sword: "Your sword and your dagger..."

   "Is it a sword donation ceremony? I understand. Mother, don't worry, I will do everything by then."

  Niya smiled knowingly: "Child, you are still too innocent. Take care of your wife these days. Your wedding day is really approaching, and I will also be a witness by then."
