On March 28, 1613, the heavy snow on the prairie outside the Great Wall finally stopped. The sun shone on the thick snow, making it a little dazzling.
However, at this moment, the people of the Borzijit family, the leader of the Horqin tribe, were not in the mood to enjoy this rare beauty. Mangus sat on the main seat in the tent, looking at all his descendants with a serious expression, except for his second son Zhaisang and his Fujin.
Mangus was a kind and friendly leader and elder in the hearts of the people. He rarely treated the people with such a serious expression, which made everyone guess what had happened. Ao Lebu looked at his uncle Ming An and the Ebugen Shaman with questioning eyes.
However, to his disappointment, the two equally serious people had no intention of answering his questions. Helpless, he could only ask himself,""Eh, Qi Ge, did something happen?”Ao Lebu asked tentatively.
He believed that Eqige was not worried about the Fujin's labor, so something big must have happened. And this big thing was probably related to Jianzhou. Thinking of that brave tribe, he secretly looked at his sister Zhezhe standing beside him. His sister was engaged to the Eighth Prince of Jianzhen. If nothing unexpected happened, they would get married the following year when she turned sixteen. Thinking about how his beloved sister would soon be married to another tribe, and that man was a man she had barely met. He was destined to struggle at the center of power and was filled with ambition. A hint of reluctance flashed across his eyes, but it was quickly covered up by him.
He looked at his father again, but this time, before he could say anything, he heard a voice from the main seat. It was directed at his sister," Zhezhe, you are already sixteen this year. You will be married to Jianzhou next year. Time flies. In the blink of an eye, you and Huang Taiji have been engaged for so many years. Qige only has you as his daughter. I really can't bear to part with you."”
Hearing this, Ao Lebu confirmed his guess and asked again,""Uh, Qige, is it Jianzhou…"
"I just received news that Wu La Tribe and Ye He Tribe have formed an alliance and are once again asking to marry Buxi Yamala of Ye He Tribe. It seems that Wu La Tribe is really doomed this time. Sigh, Nurhachi had become more and more unstoppable these few years. It seemed that it was not impossible for him to dominate Jianzhou and even the entire Central Plains. Sigh, I'm old. I don't have the ambition of others, and I don't want to get involved in these disputes too much. I only hope that all of you can be well and that our Horqin can develop smoothly.”
Looking at their old father, who seemed to be a hero in his twilight years, Zhezhe and Ao Lebu's eyes became moist. They were about to say something when suddenly, a thin but bright red light flashed across the tent.
Everyone was stunned. Only Ebulgen, who was sitting at the main seat, had a glint in his eyes. Then, he said in a low voice,"It seems like Horqin's lucky star has descended.”Everyone was awakened by this low voice. They seemed to have thought of something and walked towards the place below the red light road.
Outside a gorgeous tent, Zhai Sang waited anxiously for six hours. Finally, he heard the cry of a baby. After a while, the midwife walked out with a baby girl wrapped in swaddling clothes. Coincidentally, Mangus had arrived with the others. Mangus took the baby girl from the midwife and hugged her in his arms. He smiled lovingly."Our little lucky star is really beautiful. Why don't Wu Bo give you a name? Hmm, let's call it Bumubutai, alright?”
Zhai Sang looked at his father's actions and was stunned. In his memory, although his father was kind, he had never personally carried a child. However, when he thought about the news and the scene he had just seen, he also knew the reason. It seemed that his daughter was destined to be more important than the men of the Borzijit family.
Zhezhe looked at her father and brother's actions and expressions. She was smart enough to guess what they were thinking. She walked to her father's side, hugged the little Bumubutai, and kissed her on the cheek. Then, she said,"This child is so smart. He has only cried once since he was born. He has been smiling since he saw us. This is not just ordinary intelligence. Eh, Qige, I really like this child. Can I give her a nickname?”
"Hehe, the daughters of our Borzijit family are naturally smart. As for the nickname, you can ask your brother and see if he agrees.”
Just as Mangus finished speaking, he heard Zhaisang say,"It would be best if Younger Sister helped my daughter to give a nickname. You know that Older Brother is not good at naming, so this way, it would save Older Brother a lot of trouble.”
After saying that, he chuckled. Seeing that his father and brother had no objections, Zhezhe said to his chest,"You've just been born, and your skin is as smooth as jade. You're also a natural beauty. The Han people have a saying,'Beauty is as jade'. Aunt will be getting married next year and may not be able to see our Yu 'Er for a long time. However, Aunt believes that our Yu' Er will definitely grow into the most outstanding and beautiful woman on the prairie. I hope that Yu 'Er can bring stability and prosperity to Keerqin when she grows up. Before that, I will do my best to give you a safe and quiet environment to grow up in.”
Mangus 'eyes turned red when he heard his daughter's words. He knew that his daughter was saying these words to him. This was her promise to him and also a comfort for him. He looked at his obedient daughter and opened his mouth. In the end, he did not say anything. He turned around and left.
Under the setting sun, Zhezhe watched her father leave. She knew that he understood her words. She knew that the burden on her shoulders would be heavy from now on, and the little girl in her arms might have to bear more than her. However, this was also what they were destined to do.
Zhe Zhe turned around and smiled at Zhai Sang. He handed the baby over and said,""Brother, take the child and go in to see sister-in-law. I'll go back first and come back tomorrow to accompany sister-in-law. With that, he left with his maid Sang Lan.
A look of pity flashed across Zhai Sang's eyes. He lowered his head and muttered to the child in his arms,"It's all because I'm useless as a brother that your aunt has to sacrifice her own happiness to protect our Keerqin. I hope that your brothers can work hard and not let you repeat your aunt's mistakes. I also hope that you will understand your aunt's hardships in the future. If one day we're all gone, I hope that you can help your aunt a little more.”
After saying that, he looked up in the direction where his father and sister had left. He hid the helplessness in his eyes, carried the child, and walked into the cleaned tent.
