Doriku couldn't help asking, "Why are you looking at me? I'm definitely not the material to be a patriarch. Besides, I don't have that interest. I can't manage so many things."
One of the elders said to him: "If you want to choose something related to the camel team, it can only be doriku. Although doriku is an orphan in the tribe, he is honest, gets along well with other young people in the tribe, and knows to take care of other young people, such as mcginnon. In addition, other young boys in the tribe listen to him, so it is most suitable for him to take charge of the affairs of the tribe."
Doriku said, "I have to go out with the camel team all day. I can't take care of anything in the tribe. Can you rest assured that the patriarch is not at home all day?"
"Mahal used to be out of the tribe and earn his own money everywhere. Besides, if something happens, we elders can deal with it for you temporarily. If you really need to make a decision, we can wait for you to come back."
"..." doriku also wanted to shirk.
But Li Chengru said impatiently, "doriku, since the patriarchs think you are suitable and competent, you should take this patriarch as a good one."
Doriku: "
The seven princes were so impatient that they seemed to be his mother-in-law and mother-in-law.
Another elder of the clan said, "since the seven kings have said so, the handover ceremony of the patriarch should be scheduled on the day of Eid al AdhA, doriku. This was appointed by the Lords. You can't get rid of it."
Doriku's brothers unanimously elected doriku and advised doriku not to think too much. If he became the patriarch, they would certainly support him.
Doriku had to bite the bullet and agree.
……
Mahal's position as patriarch was cancelled and replaced by doriku. The news soon exploded in the tribe.
There are supporters and opponents.
But the voices of support are louder than those of opposition.
In the past, doriku was just a poor boy. Even if he was good at riding and shooting, he was not qualified to be a patriarch. But now it's different. He is the leader of the camel team, and the camel team is valued by the imperial court. He has this qualification.
Those who support doriku will work for those who oppose. Gradually, the voices of opposition are less.
Besides, it's better for doriku to be elected than Mahal.
Mahal has been working for so many years, the life of the tribe has not improved, and Mahal's wife and daughter always follow the bullying, which has long been despised by the people of the tribe.
……
When ye Xiaoxian heard that doriku was going to be the patriarch, she was also happy for him.
When doriku becomes the patriarch, they will be restrained by the patriarch in the future, and they will be more open in business. It will be more convenient to purchase materials in the future. She can let doriku publicize to the people of the tribe and support their work more, so as to achieve a win-win situation.
After discussing with Liu Yuanwai, ye Xiaoxian decided to raise money to send doriku a suit of clothes and a pair of black leather boots to wear on the day of Eid al AdhA, so as to celebrate his election as patriarch.
……
Eid al AdhA.
Like last year, every family slaughtered sheep and cattle to sacrifice Tianshan God.
After the sacrifice, there is a song and dance performance.
Without Guli this year, the song and dance performance has become much more beautiful. Now the dancers are all beautiful girls in the tribe. Ye Xiaoxian also went to see it. She thinks this is the real beauty of Tianshan tribe. It's really eye-catching.
The next day, Li Chengru did not participate in the riding and shooting, but doriku did.
Doriku is still the first in the riding and shooting competition.
After the riding and shooting competition, there was the patriarchal handover ceremony.
Doriku, who won the first prize, put on his new clothes and flower collar and was pushed to the podium by his brothers.
Doriku seemed unnatural at first. He used to be free and lived a casual life. Now he was pushed to the stage. He was worried about whether he was a freak.
However, after he came out, many girls exclaimed.
In the past, doriku was a poor boy, dressed casually and in rags, but now after dressing up, the girls found that he was so beautiful that he was the most handsome boy in the tribe.
Doriku's neighbor sister was surprised when she saw the girl next to her. She said proudly, "you just found that he is good-looking. I've already found it. I said before that doriku is the best looking, better than the son of the rich man."
On the stage, the patriarch began to hold a ceremony for doriku, offering sacrifices to heaven, earth and mountain gods, sprinkled "holy water" on his head, and then led him down for a circle. In this way, doriku is the official patriarch of the tribe.
As soon as the patriarchal ceremony was over, the atmosphere relaxed. Someone shouted: "doriku, I remember that our tribe has a rule that if the patriarch doesn't get a wife on the day of the ceremony, you can express your love to a girl on the spot. The girl shouldn't refuse you."
The elders seem to remember.
The main reason is that doriku is too young. Unlike the previous patriarchs, he only became patriarch after he married a wife. Few patriarchs like doriku have not married yet.
The elders suggested to doriku: "doriku, you pick a gentle and virtuous girl on the spot. If she agrees, she can become the patriarch's wife now and help you take care of the family's affairs in the future."
The girls in the tribe suddenly became shy.
Some hope was picked by doriku, but they didn't dare to express it, so they took two steps forward, hoping to attract doriku's attention.
Doriku's neighbor sister raised her hand to half, hoping to attract doriku's attention.
Others were cheering like spectators: "doriku, pick one, pick one."
“……”
Doriku on the stage was also a little uncomfortable, but he subconsciously glanced in the direction of Ye Xiaoxian.
At that time, ye Xiaoxian was mixed with a group of locals. Because she thought the tribal custom was very fun, she came to see it with a lively attitude.
When doriku looked over, her heart suddenly tightened.
Doriku confessed to her. Is he going to confess again now?
Don't. She doesn't want to be the target of public criticism, and she doesn't want to be a clan leader's wife. Doriku's foundation in the clan is still unstable. If you find an original woman, I'm afraid the people who oppose him will come out and make trouble again.
But doriku still spoke. He said, "I actually have a girl I like in my heart."
The people under the stage immediately asked, "who?"
"Who is it?"
"Come on, tell her you can get married right away."
Dolly cotton paused and said, "but she doesn't like me."
The audience was in an uproar.
