Chapter 231 Minamoto no Mamoru's Wedding Ceremony
Chapter 231 Minamoto no Mamoru's Wedding Ceremony
Two days after the clothes were finished, it snowed again in the tribe.
This snowfall was much heavier than the first one, and a strong wind blew. The snowflakes fell obliquely, hitting people's faces unavoidably.
Jiang Luoluo was on her way back from Yuan's house.
It sounds a bit rushed, but that's right, it's about Minamoto and Morinari.
It had already been decided that the marriage ceremony would be held after the hunt.
For the first two days after returning, Yuan and Shou were sorting out the condition of the binoculars used in the hunt. After all, they had taken on such a mission, and they needed to take care of these things first.
After Jiang Luoluo finished wearing her new clothes, she received an invitation from Yuan and Shoucheng's family. The two of them remembered that they had promised Jiang Luoluo before.
On the day of their wedding ceremony, Jiang Luoluo will be asked to help decorate their home.
So Jiang Luoluo went to find Ke again and asked him for some jam made from red berries—the kind with a strong coloring effect.
After diluting with water, filter out the fruit pulp from the jam itself, and use the remaining liquid to soak a dishcloth to make a bright red linen cloth.
Actually, the tribe also has some plant dyeing recipes, but it's snow season now, and many plants can no longer be found.
Moreover, Jiang Luoluo didn't have that much time to search, so she naturally thought of the simplest way.
The red linen was tied into a large bow – actually, Jiang Luoluo wanted to make a Chinese knot, but unfortunately, her resources didn't allow it, and the fabric wasn't suitable either.
In the end, I chose the simple and easy style of tying a bow.
Bright red ribbons were hung in key locations throughout the cave, visible from any direction, making the entire cave appear red and quite beautiful.
Moreover, because the color was achieved by soaking the butterflies in jam water, these large red butterflies also emitted a sweet jam aroma, making the entire cave smell exceptionally sweet.
The guests attending the wedding ceremony were all swallowing hard.
Jiang Luoluo originally wanted to make a big red quilt to create a more atmospheric feel when covering the stone bed.
But after touching the slightly sticky linen, Jiang Luoluo regretfully gave up on the idea.
Otherwise, when she wakes up tomorrow, she will probably see two Yuan and Shou with their skin dyed red and their bodies exuding a sweet fragrance.
In other words, the fire in the tribe has an insect-repelling effect, so wild animals and insects can't get close. Otherwise, these big red butterflies hanging up would attract countless ants and other small insects.
Otherwise, Jiang Luoluo probably wouldn't have dared to do this.
However, these fruits that can be used for dyeing are indeed quite good. Next year, perhaps we can try to keep some to research how to make dye, instead of making them all into jam.
Speaking of jam, it seems that Ke has developed something new, but it's not quite mature yet and there are some problems. Jiang Luoluo plans to go over and check on the situation when she has time, to see if she can offer any help.
She has only scratched the surface of how delicious the fruit is; we still need everyone's help.
In short, amidst the snowstorm, everyone helped move Shou's belongings to Yuan's residence, and then ate the meat that Yuan and Shou shared.
This wedding ceremony can be considered over.
As for making... of course she came too.
Even the children from Fish Cave sent Little Fish King Biao as their representative to participate in Yuan's marriage ceremony.
Yuan has never forgotten that he was born in Yuerdong, and he often thinks about the children of Yuerdong and worries about their growth.
The children of Yuerdong naturally appreciate Yuan's contributions and hope to send her their blessings.
The marriage ceremony in the tribe didn't have many complicated procedures, nor was there much of a conversation between the mother and daughter, but Zao still talked with Yuan for a long time.
It wasn't until they each accepted the other's choice and sincerely wished each other well.
But the sentimental part ended there. After finishing his speech, Zao left without looking back because the wind and snow suddenly intensified, and went to check on the situation in the kiln.
The important matter is the priority.
After delivering his blessings to Fish Cave, Little Fish King Biao returned to Fish Cave, bringing with him some pieces of roasted meat that Yuan had given to Fish Cave.
As a return gift.
We can't feed all the children in Yuerdong, but it's still good to let them taste the flavor of roasted meat and share in the joy.
Jiang Luoluo took a bunch of bird feathers she had taken from Yuan and Shou back home.
Yuan Heshou also heard about what happened to Jiang Luoluo a while ago, such as soap—oh right, Jiang Luoluo even brought several bars of soap and a lot of glycerin as a wedding gift for Yuan Heshou—as well as bubble solution and a feather quilt.
It just so happens that it's Yuan and Shoucheng's house. Yuan needs to clear a lot of space for Shoucheng to put his things, and Shoucheng also needs to give up some things that are not easy to carry.
A large number of feathers naturally became discarded waste. Between throwing them into the fire to burn them and giving them to Jiang Luoluo, Yuan and Shou both chose the latter.
Jiang Luoluo accepted it without hesitation.
With so many feathers, she could make a quilt for Ge and a quilt for Zao as well—the others were young and strong, not yet at the point where Jiang Luoluo needed to worry.
But no matter how healthy they look, they are all getting old and not as resistant to the cold as young people. Coupled with some joint problems, they are more likely to feel uncomfortable when it gets cold.
After the snowstorm that had lasted for several days stopped, Ge went out to go hunting again.
If they're lucky and there's no heavy snow, the hunting party might not return for another ten days or so.
If they're unlucky and encounter heavy snow after only a few days, then even without much success, the hunting party must hurry back to the tribe.
Staying outside the tribe during the continuous heavy snowfall was extremely dangerous.
Jiang Luoluo also took the opportunity to go to the kiln to dry the cleaned feathers.
At first, Zao didn't know it was made for herself. It wasn't until Jiang Luoluo finished making it and mysteriously pulled her to sleep with her for a night that she realized this soft and warm thing was actually specially prepared for her by the cub.
This is far more moving than any food or glycerin soap.
After all, she had gotten used to the occasional, dull pain in her joints over the past few years, and rarely slept so soundly and peacefully.
Even when I wake up, I feel like I'm living on a cloud.
And with such good results, Zao didn't keep it a secret from the other elderly people in his tribe who worked with him.
Especially those orc warriors who were once the main force of the hunting party, although most of their various injuries from the years have healed, many still have hidden lesions in their bodies.
This means that many of them are younger than their parents, yet in worse physical condition.
Although Jiang Luoluo doesn't have that many feathers and energy to make more feather quilts to share with everyone.
But she's not the only one who can make this. Once they know the principles and how to make it, even if catching birds is a little more troublesome, they can handle these things themselves.
