A few minutes later---
"Zhao Akang, do you still remember me?"
On the side of the cliff, A-Kang was telling A-Chen about what was happening here.
Unfortunately, they had barely started when An Jing, a Han woman, ran up and interrupted them.
Ah Chen glanced at An Jing, then whispered a few words to Ah Kang before walking away.
Although A-Kang didn't know why A-Chen had told him not to reveal his identity and not to tell these Han people that he could speak Han language, he nodded without saying a word.
"You are...that...Miss Chen's friend?"
Perhaps because he had a deep memory of Shen Weixun, Akang naturally remembered An Jing when he saw her.
"My goodness, we've finally found a Miao man with status who can also speak the Han language."
An Jing was very excited, and then waved to Shen Weixun over there, calling her to come over quickly.
As Shen Weixun approached, Achen, who was squatting on the nearby boulder, clearly saw that Akang's expression faltered for a few seconds.
Therefore, he was certain that A-Kang liked this Shen Weixun, so after thinking for a moment, he waved to A-Yin next to him.
"Later, find an auntie and ask her in Han language if Shen Weixun has any belts."
"Brother Chen, you're married, you can't steal it." Ayin was startled and quickly reminded him in a low voice.
Ah Chen glared at him, "What nonsense are you talking about! Haven't you noticed that Ah Kang likes this girl? Let Ah Kang snatch her away."
call--
Ayin thought that the future Miao king would steal other girls' flower ribbons after getting married, which almost scared her to death.
You must know that she has been sent by the Holy Maiden to protect the future Miao King in the forest. If the future Miao King were to steal the flower ribbons from other girls in the mountains, she and her thirteen sisters would be the first to be punished.
“Brother Chen, two of the three are Han Chinese. Although Shen Weixun knows a little bit of our Miao language, she’s a fake Miao, so she probably doesn’t have a belt on her.” Ayin said, looking at the group who were already talking to Akang.
"So what should we do?"
"Brother Chen, I'm still a girl. I'll call an auntie for you, and you can ask her anything." A-Yin blushed.
"Quickly, quickly, call them over! This is our chance!"
Ah Yin hurriedly went to the area where there were many aunties. She originally only wanted to call one, but when the busy aunties heard what she wanted to do, several of their most experienced ones came at once.
"Ah Chen, are you going to help Lan Miao and Zhao A Kang find wives?"
"Ah Chen, which of those two girls does Lan Miao and Ah Kang like?"
"They are Han Chinese girls!"
The three women speaking were all Miao women from the Bai Miao branch.
Their hair was all coiled on top of their heads, and because they were working, they wore pleated skirts made of snow-white linen that were neither dyed nor embroidered, and the skirts were long enough to reach their knees.
Ah Chen looked at the group of people seven or eight meters away and whispered to the women, "The girl on the left wearing a light yellow coat, her name is Shen Weixun, she's a fake Miao."
"Fake seedlings?"
"Ah Chen, fake Miao people don't have Miao citizenship!"
“Sister-in-law, don’t be afraid of being a fake Miao. You should follow your husband wherever he goes. If you marry Zhao Akang, a blue Miao, you will be a blue Miao wife and you will naturally have Miao status.”
After discussing it for a while, the aunties came up with several different methods. One of them said to Ah Chen, "Ah Chen, don't worry about not having a flower ribbon. The girl's mother or grandmother should have told her how Miao men express their love."
“That’s right! Even if this girl doesn’t know anything else, I think she should know the two simplest ones: ‘finger counting’ and ‘begging for candy’.”
"Counting fingers" and "begging for candy" are the two simplest.
Asking for candy is a little harder than counting on your fingers.
Because if an unmarried young man is in love with a girl, he will sing folk songs to woo her under the guise of "asking for candy".
The first line of the song is: "I heard that little sister's candy is very sweet, but I want to eat candy but I didn't bring any money."
If the girl agrees, she will sing back loudly: "Little sister has candy that's too sour, brother will bend over if he eats it."
Miao Lang continued singing: "Big brother longs for candy, his eyes are sore from gazing at it; little sister, the candy may be sour, but my heart is not."
And so, after several rounds of "begging for candy,"
If the girl is interested, she will sing a tender folk song to the Miao man: "Brother wants candy, come with me, don't blame me if it makes your teeth ache."
Then the girl took a step and left, and Miao Lang followed closely behind. Then they whispered intimately in the woods and by the stream.
After that, we discussed the engagement and all the traditional wedding customs!
They eventually got married!
but--
If a girl already has a sweetheart when the candy-hunting begins, she will sing back after the Miao man's first line of a folk song: "Little sister's candy is sold out early, brother, you can taste candy elsewhere."
Another way is that if the girl doesn't agree with the Miao man's love, she will sing back: "Little sister is poor and doesn't sell candy, brother wants candy but has no place to sell it."
After being rejected, regardless of whether the girl made excuses or something else, Miao Lang would tactfully leave.
Mu Achen grinned. He hoped that Akang would use the "begging for candy" method to woo her, but he was worried that Shen Weixun, this fake Miao girl, wouldn't be able to sing a folk song in response.
So I still think "finger counting" is simpler.
But then I thought, it's not exciting enough!
"Auntie, is it a good time to grab this opportunity?" Ah Chen asked.
The Bai Miao woman said, "You can't rob here, you have to lure them to Phoenix Mountain to rob them!"
"Then you guys go ahead and do your work. I'll go check on them. We've been talking for so long."
Ah Chen patted his hands, which were now dirty from handling mud, then got up and walked over, just in time to hear the girl named An Jing say to Ah Kang:
“Brother Zhao, I really don’t believe that you, one of the eight great wolves, can’t even take a few people to your Miao family’s future Starry Sky Fruit Forest. We’re just writing some reports and taking some photos, we’re not doing anything reckless.”
