062 Capsizing
At the same time, Du Erye in the main hall of the Xu family was talking to Xu Gucheng about Nacai.
In the Song Dynasty, there were six kinds of etiquette from marriage proposal to marriage, namely Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, inviting dates, and greeting in person. In the Song Dynasty, only Nacai, Naji, Nazheng, and Qinying were retained.
When the man's family invited the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose, and after the woman's family agreed, the man's family prepared six ceremonies to propose.
Today, the Du family did not ask the matchmaker to propose marriage according to the ceremony, but directly proposed marriage with six rites, which can be seen as being rude because of not paying attention to it, or it can be seen as coming to the door in person because of attention, what the Xu family thinks depends on the attitude of the Du family today.
Du Erye is tall and thin, and it is very appropriate to use a bamboo pole as a metaphor. His cheekbones are very high, his face is very three-dimensional, and his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Aunt Du.
Xu Gucheng listened to Second Master Du's words quietly, stroked the unwrinkled brocade robe with his hand, and said in a gentle voice: "Liuniang is still young, I have no plans to marry her for the time being, and Renguang's trip may not be as desired." ”
Second Master Du, Chinese New Year's Eve, Minghui, Table Renguang.
Xu Gucheng, Chinese New Year's Eve, is often written in the table.
"A man can marry fifteen, a woman can marry thirteen, and the sixth lady is a good age to discuss relatives, why don't you plan for her future early?" Du Erye smiled, with a wrinkle on both sides of his eyes.
How could Xu Gucheng not know his thoughts, and refused: "Of the six ladies of the Xu family, only one is married, and the sixth mother is the youngest, so she shouldn't have discussed marriage so early." ”
Second Master Du laughed twice and put down the teacup in his hand: "Brother Wen Chang, you and I are also old acquaintances, I still know about the affairs of the Xu family, isn't Xu Sanniang married?"
Xu Gucheng was resolute, and finally refused euphemistically after many persuasions.
It's not that he doesn't look down on the Du family as a businessman, but Du Dalang's temperament is really bad, and Mrs. Du has a lot of ideas, which is too different from his standard for choosing a husband for his daughter.
Du Erye was unhappy, but he couldn't express it, after all, Xu Gucheng was the governor of Suzhou, not a figure he could shake his face.
He originally felt that his son was a bit of a loss when he married Xu Liuniang, but Xu Gucheng refused like this, he felt that Xu Liuniang was not so bad and could attach importance to this family business. When I walked out of the door, I had already made up my mind, and it was not too late to find a good matchmaker to propose marriage in two months.
One of the two is comfortable in the officialdom, and the other is like a fish in water in the shopping mall, and the confrontation is very exciting, so I won't repeat it.
Xu promised to take the carriage with Du Erniang to the Du family's house, and after getting off the car, he found that Xu Sanniang and Xu Wuniang were also there, and there were a few women he didn't know. I wanted to come to Du Erniang to have a familiar woman in Suzhou, and I invited them all this time.
A group of people bypassed the wall, entered from the hanging flower gate, walked into the courtyard along the verandah, walked through the courtyard and walked a verandah, and saw the peonies that were full of flowers and bloomed red, and found that there was a circle in the middle of the flower garden that was pink, and the middle was white.
When six or seven ladies saw that the peony flowers were blooming brightly and gracefully, they suddenly became excited, and walked over quickly with their skirts one by one.
Walking at the back, the rich fragrance came to my face as I approached the flower garden, and I felt that my mind and body were relaxed.
Chuntang July also followed, the two of them looked at this peony flower intently, both showed a happy look, July even more praised: "In the past, I always heard that the peony flower of the Du family is the best in Suzhou, I didn't believe it, but now I know that it is not a lie." ”
Chuntang pulled Qiyue's sleeve and said, "This is not Mingjin Pavilion, don't talk nonsense." As he spoke, he glanced at Aunt Du.
July stuck out his tongue, and watched with envy as others folded the hairpin on his head, and his eyes never stopped for a moment. Although she was promoted to a first-class maidservant, she promised not to go out to banquets much, and the only few times she went to banquets was Chuntang who followed her, so she rarely saw this kind of scene.
Xu Yu was about to fold a half-opened peony, when Aunt Du suddenly appeared, with a rare smile on her face: "I know you like to order tea, there is a set of good tea sets in the wing, but do you want to take a look?"
Stretch out your hand not to hit the smiling person, and promise to smile and come down.
When she was about to arrive at the wing, Aunt Du suddenly said: "These maids don't know how to use the tea ceremony, so it's better to let them play and reward you with two flowers." ”
July just coveted the hairpins on the hairpins of those ladies' hair, and his eyes lit up happily.
Xu Promise naturally noticed her reaction, and looked at Chuntang again, his face was also full of expectation, and he couldn't bear to disappoint them, so he agreed. I vaguely felt that Aunt Du's behavior so close was a bit abnormal.
The two returned to the courtyard from the backyard, entered the wing, and sure enough, they saw a set of excellent tea sets, each of which was the best of the best, and the name of the Du family, the richest man in Suzhou, was not false.
Aunt Du said politely that she wanted to taste the tea that Xu promised to brew, and she accepted the promise gladly.
She lit a fire to boil water on one side and began to crush tea cakes on the other.
Now that I have worshiped Ye Niangzi as a teacher, the tea ceremony has already surpassed the level of the Qingming Tea Fight, and the movements are skillful and elegant, and no one can find the slightest fault.
The promise of ordering tea didn't notice Aunt Du's action of covering her nose, and when she went out, she only glanced at it with her afterglow, and didn't care.
When she was blowing, she smelled an aroma that was not tea, the fragrance was very faint, but it was enough for her to notice. When ordering tea, other aromas interfere with the sense of smell when tasting tea, and she can't help but frown. Just as he was about to look up to see where there was an incense burner in the house, he heard footsteps, and then a young man walked in, it was Du Chen.
Du Chen, dressed in a bright brocade robe and wearing a jade belt around his waist, sat next to Xu Promise, supported his head with his elbows on the tea table, and said with a smile: "Liuniang, I heard that you have surpassed Xu Liuniang in the tea ceremony, I wonder if I can have the honor to taste it?"
He had always been unreasonable and rude, and these two sentences were the most civil-grained things he had ever said.
When he saw Du Chen come in and promise, he felt bad.
Since the Du family came to propose marriage, and the person who came was Du Erye, it must be for Du Chen, but at this time, according to etiquette, Du Chen should not come to the Xu family.
Even if the Du family did not find a matchmaker to propose marriage according to the ceremony, they would not let Du Chen come, which shows that he came secretly this time.
Xu Yu frowned and opened his mouth to let Du Chen out, but he heard his voice faintly audible, and then found that he couldn't use his hand when he struck, and the soup bottle in his left hand almost fell to the ground.
The lightning and the fire thought of the aroma I had smelled before.
There is no incense burner in the house, so ......
Is it the smell coming from the stove where the water is boiling?
No wonder Aunt Xu left early, was she afraid to ask about the fragrance?
With the last of her strength, she poured the water from the soup bottle into the fire, and the aroma dissipated.
Du Chen laughed a few times and straightened up: "Liuniang is really smart, she found out so quickly." Xu Siniang also said that this fragrance is odorless and has a great medicinal effect, I knew she was bragging, and it was so!"
Xu Yu lowered his eyes, not looking at Du Chen's smiling face, and tried to stand up to find that his legs were rude, and his head was dizzy.
She actually capsized in the gutter!
As Zijuan said, Xu Qian will not settle down, and it is even more dangerous than in the past.
Aunt Du didn't show half a point along the way just now, but Du Chen only said two words, and she said Xu Qian, thinking that he was not difficult to deal with.
