Story of Yanxi Palace: Red Seal Spring Star

Later, Yingluo asked Aisha why she wanted to have a girl, and Aisha told her about Pudawa's parents, saying that both she and Pudawa wanted to have a girl because Pudawa had no memory of getting along with his biological mother. Unfortunately, it is said that Pudawa looks like his biological mother, so he wants to have a girl who also looks like his biological mother.Yingluo was very surprised and was shocked a lot, but she laughed, remembering that Fu Heng and herself both wanted to have a girl who looked like the Queen's sister, and Jiang Jiang really looked very much like Fu Heng, and she also resembled the Queen's sister...

Seeing her expression, Aisha smiled and said: Pudawa just thinks that Jiang Jiang looks like Fu Heng, so she thinks that her daughter must also look like himself!Then she told Yingluo that she had to give birth to a boy to fulfill Pudawa's wish to cultivate the ninth level of Lotus Gyalpo. Yingluo giggled when she heard this, and then told Fu Heng that Aisha and his wife were going to have a boy. It is to get a virgin boy to practice martial arts.Fu Heng couldn't help but smile too.

Two days later, the wedding of Aisha and Pudawa was held in Wuleweiguanzhai.

The wedding in Jiarongzang is presided over by the bride's uncle. Because Jiarongzang was centered on women in ancient times, people in ancient times only knew their mothers, but not their fathers.So Elsa's uncle and aunt also came from Danba.After meeting Pudawa, my uncle said that Aisha really has a vision, and my aunt said how could Pudawa give birth so well, such a man who becomes a monk is a waste of money, saying that Aisha does well, and Aisha's children will also be born well, love Sarah giggled.After listening to Mrs. Tusi, Yingluo felt that these Tibetans were really straightforward and interesting.

If Pudawa is the chieftain's son-in-law at her natal family's wedding, even if he doesn't consider his status, ability and wealth, he will never be neglected or discriminated against. Mrs. Chieftain likes this quiet and obedient son-in-law very much , Aisha told her parents that for Pudawa, it should be done according to the etiquette of the bride’s home, as a gift from her husband’s family, to show her nostalgia for Pudawa’s biological mother, and the Tusi couple agreed.Langka is the eldest son, and Langka will be the head of the family in the future. He will be the next chieftain of Jinchuan, but other chieftain families also have eldest daughters as successor chieftains.After listening to what Aisha said to her, Yingluo remembered what Ge said, regardless of gender, she and Langka's first child will be a toast in the future, so it can be done like this, and it is even more interesting.

According to the customs of Jiarongzang, the bride should be carried out by her elder brother to get married, so on the day of the wedding, before the sun came out, Aisha was carried by Langka from the outside of the open dam to the entrance of the main building, and she first stepped on a blanket that had already been laid. On the top, the blanket is painted with the pattern of "Yangzhu". Then he kneels on the blanket to receive the blessing of the monks chanting scriptures, while Pudawa stands aside with a colorful khata wrapped in his hand.Next to the simmering Sangtai cigarettes curling up.Pudawa was very pious and serious, but the brother and sister were laughing and joking. Mrs. Tusi told them to be serious, and Sha Luoben sat aside, stroking her upturned mustache and laughing.

When the first rays of the rising sun came, Pudawa led the bride into the house, and after entering the kitchen, Mrs. Toast put a small piece of butter on the bride's mouth to show auspiciousness, and the bride began to burn the first pot of milk tea. Mrs. Tusi has already cooked the fire, and the bride will go through the ceremony. During the ceremony, a yellow cloth should be placed on her back, which means that the love between husband and wife does not allow third parties to intervene.

According to the rules, when the guests arrive one after another, everyone should bring several khatas. The first one should be dedicated to the altar, and then khatas and gifts should be presented to the bride and groom in turn, and khatas should also be presented to the parents of both parties.Then take a seat. After taking the seat, the bride will hold a tray and the groom will toast everyone with a jug. The wine needs to be drunk three times. To express support and respect.During this period, male and female singers should sing auspicious songs beside them.

Because it was a family banquet, no singers were invited, only Fu Heng and his wife were the guests, offering hada to the newlyweds and the Tusi couple, and Pudawa toasted.Aisha had a red mole between her eyebrows, and she was wearing a colorful Tibetan robe and a satin hat with a pulu edge. If it weren't for her pregnancy discomfort, Mrs. Tusi would have asked her to apply rouge and lipstick.Since she came home, she has dressed in colorful clothes according to Mrs. Tusi's preferences. She has complained to Pudawa and Yingluo a lot, and she has long disliked these outfits, but Pudawa said they were beautiful, and Yingluo only laughed and said that she was very happy. Feeling in my heart, I haven't even seen my mother's face.Mrs. Tusi did not force Pudawa, but on the wedding day, he also dressed in colorful clothes, Mrs. Tusi praised him for looking good.

"Yongzhu" and "Bazaar" patterns are generally the most commonly used auspicious symbols in weddings. "Yongzhu" means eternal change, and "Bazaar" means love knot, which is one of the eight auspicious symbols in Tibet.In addition to the above two patterns, the auspicious eight signs are indispensable.

The eight signs of auspiciousness, also known as eight auspicious signs, eight treasures auspiciousness, and "Tashi Dajie" in Tibetan, are the most common combined patterns in Tibetan paintings that endow profound connotations.The symbols of these eight mascots are closely related to Buddha Dharma.The eight patterns can be formed individually, or they can be stacked into an overall pattern. This overall pattern is called "Dajie Pengsu" in Tibetan, which means the shape of an auspicious eight-figure vase.The eight treasures are treasure umbrella, treasure fish, treasure vase, white conch, auspicious knot, victory banner, golden Dharma wheel and lotus, which are the theme of Yuling stone carvings.

Weddings are usually held for three days.During the three days, those who participated in the ceremony sang and danced to their heart's content, and many places sang and danced all night long.But Aisha's wedding naturally omitted these.So on this day, Aisha and his wife were sent to the "bridal chamber", which is Aisha's own watchtower, about an hour after getting up early.At this time, the old mothers smeared white flour on the foreheads of uncles, brides and grooms, and let them wear red silk. After the wedding, it is carried out before returning to the mother's home.

After completing the ceremony, Pudawa came out again and enjoyed buttered tea, tsampa, ginseng fruit, buttered fruit, yogurt, Tibetan tea, highland barley wine, hand-grabbed yak meat, beef buns, Tibetan blood sausage, Tibetan cakes, air-dried yak meat and other Tibetan wedding banquet delicacies prepared by Mrs. Tusi were used as the brunch of the day. Mrs. Tusi asked the old mothers to prepare a light breakfast for Aisha alone.

Then the men went out as usual and went about their business.Yingluo went to visit the watchtower where Hu Lin lived, and asked him why he refused to come back when he was kidnapped the day he was kidnapped, and insisted on staying tied up. In fact, he could have escaped completely.

Hu Lin couldn't get out of bed yet, with bandages on his head, hands and legs, he sat on the kang and said: Madam, the duty of this slave is to protect you. This is the mission given to me by the emperor. If you are not in danger, the slave escapes. It's just that there are too many of them, and they separated us and detained us, so the slaves failed to protect you.Yingluo looked at him.Hu Lindao: At that time, after Lord Hai Lancha went back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor asked me to go to the residence of Lord Chunshu Hutong to protect his wife, so he promoted the slave to the first-class bodyguard, do you understand?

Yingluo's eyes were wet. It turned out that the emperor was so worried about her in the incident at Zhengjue Temple. It was Fu Heng who said that the emperor felt that he was the one who caused her trouble.Just as he was thinking, he heard Hu Lin say again: Before he came out this time, the emperor secretly summoned his servants to go again. He said again, in these wild and dangerous places, you must stay close to you, so Hu Lin can't resist the order.The servant did not tell the adults about this.Moreover, the slaves would never leave their duties. Regardless of whether the emperor said it or not, even the illiterate soldiers in the countryside knew how to fight for discipline and honor, not to mention that the slaves were the first-class guards of the Qing Dynasty personally appointed by the emperor. I'm sorry for this face.You disappeared, but I came back, not to mention that the emperor wants to kill the servant, the servant himself will no longer be ashamed.

Then he sighed: I understand why the battle in Jinchuan is so difficult. Apart from poor equipment, these local soldiers are even more brave and morale than the imperial army. Everyone is not afraid of death, surrounded by heavy siege But he is not afraid, fighting bloody battles and never idling for life!Everyone is a hero!The slave is so admired.It is really not easy for the emperor to win Jinchuan.I didn't have a musket with me that day, otherwise it might have been different.

Yingluo didn't know what to say, so she nodded, Hu Lin smiled, and said: "And Doro, before leaving, he asked me to have a farewell meal, and he also asked me to protect you."Therefore, in public or private, slaves will not leave you.

Yingluo suddenly understood, Hu Lin knew that both the emperor and Doro liked her, so she looked at him.Hu Lin nodded slightly, and said: Ma'am, before I came out this time, I always thought that Doro was following the holy order, but this time I understood, it was him himself.Seeing that he didn't mention the emperor, Yingluo knew that he was very taboo, so she said, "You know, Duo Luo is my brother-in-law now, so he cares about me for Rongrong's sake."Hu Lin shook his head and said: As early as three years ago, he often asked me about you, and I always thought he was following the holy order.

Yingluo didn't know what to say.Hu Lindao: Ma'am, don't worry, I won't tell anyone.Little Heipi, that is Doro, I got him for Little Heipi, he is my best friend, I have known him for more than ten years since Baqi Guanxue, I will keep this secret for him, I Don't ask him, don't tell him I understand, I don't want to upset him.

Yingluo sighed slightly, Hu Lin didn't know that Duo Luo had already told Yingluo, and said: Madam, don't worry, I understand Doro, he won't make trouble for you, and he won't treat Rong Rong badly either.Yingluo nodded and said: I understand too.Hu Lindao: Ma'am, if Doro knows that you worry about him so much, he will be very happy, Madam, don't blame yourself.Yingluo said: Thank you, I am not worried about him.After returning to Beijing this time, I will teach Fu Heng to let the emperor release you, so that you can do something and don't have to guard me, a woman, all day long.Hu Lin laughed and said: Suqiong thinks my job is very good, she hopes I will keep doing it.

Yingluo and Hu Lin's wife, Suqiong, have met many times and knew she was a capable little woman, so she said, "What's so good about it? You see, Doro has been promoted to Minister of Luan Yiwei."Hu Lin laughed and said: That is what he bought with his life, I am not jealous.Ma'am, don't worry about me, I also think it's very good, this job is not dangerous, the salary is high, and my lord treats people so well with you.

Yingluo said: "It's still dangerous. You were seriously injured this time. Doctor Ye said you lost a lot of blood. Fortunately, you came back in time, otherwise your life would be in danger."Besides, don't you think about your own future?Hu Lin said: "These injuries are nothing, they cannot die."Our family is different from the Doro family. I have never been to the front line, and I have no military exploits. If I hadn’t been on an errand in Shangyu Jingyuan, I don’t think I would have been promoted to the first-class guard, so I cherish this opportunity very much. At that time, It was Lord Fu Heng who recommended me to the emperor.

Yingluo was even more surprised, and asked: Fu Heng?Hu Lin nodded, and said: Your Excellency knows, what will those people's families think if it is inconvenient for the emperor's first-class bodyguard to give to his wife, so he recommended me.There are a total of 150 second-class bodyguards of the emperor, and I have only just been promoted from the third-class bodyguard to the second-class bodyguard. I feel that I have been selected, and I am very lucky.A year ago, my lord also asked me that he could recommend me to other positions in front of the emperor, so I said the same thing.We are all sent by the emperor, but I am more relaxed than Zatiwei and Ah Zheng. Most of them are instructing others. I have nothing to complain about. I will definitely do my best to ensure the safety of my wife.

Yingluo knew that Fu Heng was more thoughtful than her, and it seemed that he knew Hu Lin well, so she asked him to work as an errand in Yujing Garden, and said: I understand, thank you!Fortunately, you are fine this time, otherwise I don't know how to face Suqiong.Hu Lindao: Thank you madam for caring about me!You treat people very well, not to mention working for the common people in the pharmacy all day long, and you still want me to leave at that moment.It is my honor to protect you and share the worries of Mr. Fu Heng. For the sake of the emperor and Doro, I will also protect you well.If they kill me and the translator, they are openly hostile to the imperial court, and they will not do so lightly.In those two days, you three women were under the control of others and were isolated and helpless. It was very dangerous. I worried about you day and night, but luckily you were all fine.

After a few days, Aisha stopped her dizziness, and everyone was relieved, so the women went to worship the Guanyin Temple together.In view of the previous incident, Le Wuwei stepped up his vigilance, and the men were no longer worried about letting the women go alone, especially for such a long distance, and they had to stay there for a night. Hu Lin was recuperating, so Pudawa led the twenty A soldier accompanied him, and he could take care of Aisha.

The Guanyin Temple is on Nale Mountain, and the winding road is narrow and steep. Yingluo and Zhenzhu Ruidong are sitting in a carriage. When they open the curtains, they can see white clouds floating above the tops of the mountains. What is particularly mysterious about the head is the pair of bright big eyes, the black eyeballs and the whites of the eyes are particularly distinct, and the distance between the eyes is very wide, looking directly at the pilgrims from not far away.This must be the eye of the mountain god!The mountain god is examining the piousness of the pilgrims with those sharp eyes.The three felt a sense of solemnity and awe instantly.

There are eye-catching white Tibetan characters "Moo Mani Banme Hum" six-character mantra on the mountain.Ascending up the mountain, these six characters are very conspicuous. This is a symbol of common blessings for worshipers, and it embodies the long-cherished wishes and expectations of believers.The textures and shapes on the mountainside in the distance have a mysterious combination, and the auspicious eight treasures map is clearly displayed in front of you.

They also saw a monk in a red Tibetan robe and a yellow hat standing under the blue sky and white clouds, on the edge of a cliff, gazing into the distance, as if on a high mountain, preaching scriptures and sending Buddha to all creatures, praying for blessings in the world... ... Yingluo's heart is full of pride again!

The Guanyin Temple on the large platform, with red walls and golden roofs, illuminates the entire valley and the town at the foot of the mountain, and comforts the people who come to worship.The steps leading to the temple are high and steep, like a ladder to the sky, and the white marble railings climb around the platforms, like pieces of auspicious clouds.Above the side door of the Guanyin Hall, Master Padmasambhava is enshrined.On one side of the hillside, there are many Mani stones filled with colorful characters, representing full blessings.On the other side of the hillside, a tall white pagoda stands in it.A wisp of smoke drifted past, and the White Pagoda formation was full of mystery.

Pudawa helped Aisha up slowly.Mrs. Tusi and Gelai held the hands of Sonomu and Sasa. They brought the two eldest children with them this time.Yingluo held Zhenzhu's hand and looked at the two children behind her, feeling very happy in her heart.Sonomu is about the same height as Fukang'an, and they are both quite strong. Sasa does not look like her mother, but looks like her grandmother, Mrs. Tusi, so Sasa's eyebrows and eyes are also very beautiful. Her name comes from Langka It was taken by my sister Aisha who was far away in Lhasa.

Yingluo suddenly felt emotional, such a glamorous, rich and powerful chieftain family, and Gelai’s sister’s heart-wrenching past, there is nothing perfect in this world... Zhenzhu knew that Yingluo remembered Long’er and Jiang Jiang, and kept smiling , seeing Ruidong's melancholy expression in a blink of an eye, he gestured to Yingluo.Yingluo nodded and didn't say anything. She also felt that Ruidong had always had something on her mind. After the kidnapping, she once asked her. Ruidong only said that she was fine and was worried about them.So I thought: When I arrived in Yili, I saw Hailancha, and she would be fine.

The author has something to say:

[Tibetan Marriage System] In general, the boss is the head of the family, and the rest, regardless of gender, must get married or come to the house.This kind of marriage system is manifested in the equality of men and women, and children born to boys and girls are also passed on to the family.

The oldest child in the family, regardless of whether he is a man or a woman, has the right and obligation to inherit the family business and support the elderly.In some places, the oldest boy is the head of the house, and when the rest of the siblings reach the age of marriage, the man will come to the house and the woman will get married, and they can also become monks and nuns.There are also those who remain unmarried all their lives and act as uncles (uncles) and mothers (aunts) at home. Not only are they not discriminated against in the family, but many of them become the head of the family, the head of the family.Nephews and nieces often respect and love their uncles (uncles) and mothers (aunts) more than their biological parents.Because they never get married and have no children, but they devote their whole life to the whole family, always thinking about the harmony, unity and prosperity of the whole family, so they are respected and loved by the whole family.

This is just generally speaking. In fact, there are things that the eldest son is not the head of the family. It is usually decided by the parents or the eldest son voluntarily goes out, and the younger siblings are weaker. Sometimes the parents are worried that they will be bullied when they go out, so they stay at home.

The door-to-door son-in-law is not discriminated against by the society. The door-to-door and getting married are the same in Tibetan marriages.When a man comes to the woman's door, it means that he becomes the head of the whole family, and he becomes the representative of the family both internally and externally.Therefore, when the two sisters in a family are of marriageable age, the older brother sometimes offers to keep the younger sister at home to recruit a husband, while he goes to someone else's house to recruit a son-in-law.Parents are willing to do the same.Because in the eyes of Tibetans, it is much better for a man to go to a woman's house than to marry a woman to a man, so that he will not be bullied and avoid the burden of discord between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

[Jinchuan Guanyin Temple] is located on the hillside of Nale Mountain in Guanyinqiao Town, 90 kilometers away from Jinchuan County, with an altitude of about 3680 meters.Its history is shown in the text.It is composed of twelve landscapes, including Guanyin Temple, Guanyin Square, Lotus Square, Free Life Pond, Water Turning, Sangsang Square, Great Turning Road, Buddhist Pagoda, Elephant Mountain, Mani Wall, Longda Terrace, and Oudu Temple.
