The rules handed down by the elders, the more complicated and grand the wedding etiquette, the more important the man attaches to the woman, and the woman is also expensive.

Dong Ping has been struggling with how to ask Mr. for understanding all the way, if he doesn't say it well, it may cause the Yang family to misunderstand that he has a contemptuous heart. I didn't want Mr. to be so understanding, and solved his problem with a wave of his hand, he gave a big gift gratefully, and promised, "Mr. Xie is considerate, the disciple is really relieved that his sister is not going to spend his life in Kyoto, so he is anxious to finish the appointment and rush to visit earlier." In the future, the disciple will never snub Senior Sister Wanyin, please rest assured. ”

Mr. Yang smiled and nodded, and responded, "You are a good man who values love and righteousness, if you are not at ease as a teacher, you will not give you Wanyin." Don't worry, the big husband walks in the world, just be worthy of your heart, don't care about these small sections. ”

"Yes, Mr. Xie." Dong Ping saluted again, and said at the end, "Sir, the disciple is going to Kyoto here, and the way back and forth is long, and the delay is long. After thinking about it, I wanted to discuss with Mr.,Stay in Kyoto directly to prepare for the spring exam.,When the time comes, whether it's on the list or not, I'll come back as soon as possible to marry Sister Wanyin.,I hope Mr. will agree.。 ”

Previously, the two families agreed to marry Wanyin after the middle move, but now that the disciple wants to postpone the marriage, Mr. Yang frowned, and finally said, "Think about this matter for the teacher, you go back first to prepare for the marriage proposal." ”

"Yes, sir." Dong Ping also felt that he was a little inched, and his face was slightly red and he bowed and retreated.

Mrs. Yang saw Dong Ping walking away from behind the screen, and immediately turned out, and said with annoyance, "What does this Dong Juncheng mean, the etiquette is already considerate of him, why do you want to postpone the marriage?" Could it be that we Wanyin can't get married, so we have to enter the door of the Dong family? ”

Mr. Yang waved his hand and scolded in a low voice, "Don't be loud! What Juncheng said is not unreasonable, it usually takes two months to marry after being hired, and he will be far away in Kyoto at that time, if he rushes back, there will be too many delays on the road, which will inevitably have an impact on his studies. It's better to stay in Kyoto and then go back. If it is a fluke to enter the Shi and the first, wouldn't Wanyin have more brilliance on her face? ”

Mrs. Yang thinks about this and it makes sense, but when the mother is willing to let her daughter be wronged again and again, she hesitates for a while, and twists the handkerchief in her hand into a twist, and complains casually, "The eldest daughter and the second daughter are married in Kyoto, I want to keep Wanyin by my side There is a thought, why is her family still so twists and turns?" ”

Mr. Yang didn't know what he thought, a bright color flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep groan, "Juncheng went to the Beijing University Examination alone, and I can't rest assured." As... Please take a few months of vacation from the academy, let's go back to the old house in Kyoto for a while, and take a look at my daughter by the way..."

"Oh, sir!" Mrs. Yang happily threw the handkerchief directly, stepped forward and grabbed her master's arm, and asked one after another, "What you said is true?" Can the academy put it here? ”

The more Mr. Yang thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was good, and said with a smile, "Naturally, I can let it go, and the academy will not close without me, so why can't I leave it?" Besides, we haven't been back to Kyoto for six or seven years, so I'll pay a visit to an old friend. When the time comes, you can discuss with Princess Dong to see if you can let Wanyin marry in the old mansion. ”

"Thank you, sir, it's great!" Mrs. Yang thought of the lively scene of her daughter's marriage in the old house in Kyoto, and she was so happy that she trotted like a girl to tell her daughter the good news.

Dong Ping is now from a leading background, and he can be regarded as officially squeezing into the ranks of reserve officials, and marrying relatives is naturally qualified to call the official media.

Early this morning, he deliberately went to the government to find a woman who looked quite stable, and when he invited people to the car to the gate of the academy, he happened to meet Steward Zhang helping Master Dong get out of the car.

Dong Ping hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and at the end, he summoned the official media mother-in-law to greet him for a few words, and then watched Steward Zhang wait for his father to enter the gate of the academy. When proposing, the younger generation cannot be present, only the elder can bring the matchmaker.

Xizi had better be lively, jumping to look into the gate of the academy, but was slapped on the back of the head by Dong Ping, and finally obediently followed the master to the opposite teahouse to wait for the news.

The servants of the Yang family sprinkled and cleaned the courtyard in the morning, just waiting for someone from the Dong family to come to the door. Suddenly, he could hear someone's report, so Mr. Yang took it out. The two parties have long had a tacit understanding, and this marriage is a sure thing, so it will be much easier to act naturally.

Master Dong and Mr. Yang exchanged a few words and said nonsense with his eyes open according to the routine, such as hearing that the Yang family has a virtuous and virtuous lady, and he came to propose marriage for the child, and hoped that the Yang family would not dislike the Dong family's humble family background and send a daughter to marry.

Mr. Yang was funny when he heard it, but the rules passed down from the old generation were like this, so he patiently asked the official media to come forward to change the Geng post for the two families, which means that the two families have initially reached a willingness to marry.

Mrs. Yang had long been curious about what Dong Ping's father looked like, and secretly saw Mo Bo standing at the door of the lobby gesticulating, so she smiled and took the maid into the house. She first took the reward to thank the official media, invited the old woman to the flower hall to have a wine banquet, and finally stepped forward to salute while secretly looking at Master Dong.

Xu is a son who has a future, and there is light on his face as a father. Master Dong pulled up his waist today, his chin was raised, he was wearing a new limestone brocade robe, a hollow jade plate on his waist, and a boxwood hairpin to tie his hair. At first glance, those who don't know the inside story think that he is also a gentleman of the academy.

The more Mrs. Yang looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and most of her worries about how rude her daughter's future in-laws would be were removed, and at the end, she became more and more enthusiastic in directing the maids and servants to serve food and wine.

Master Dong was afraid of losing face to his son, so he tried his best to stir up the ink accumulated in his stomach and talked with Mr. Yang.

Mr. Yang inevitably praised Mr. Dong for teaching his son well and teaching his daughter, and said that he hoped that his in-laws would teach his in-laws more when he married in the future. Master Dong endured his blushing face and responded weakly, and secretly decided that after returning home, he must beat Niu a few more times, and it was best not to let her appear in front of his new daughter-in-law, so as not to ruin his good reputation in front of his in-laws.

The two talked and ate until the sun set in the west, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves.

Mr. Dong staggered out to report the good news to his son, and Mr. Yang also welcomed a group of colleagues who heard the news and came to congratulate him.

Mr. Feng was not angry, but laughed proudly, which made many old friends blush. Mrs. Yang also received the ladies there, but she was not so easy to fool around. Especially the two ladies who had intended to recruit Dong Ping as their son-in-law before, they had seen Dong Ping move in the past few days, and they had restarted their minds, and they didn't want to suddenly hear that the Dong family had come to the Yang family to propose marriage, and under the disappointment, they naturally had resentment in their hearts.

So the two joined hands, you and I said a word, forcing Mrs. Yang to apologize again and again, and in the end, there was an agreement with the Dong family at that time, but I didn't dare to say it because I was afraid that things would change.

The two ladies actually knew that Mr. Yang was Dong Ping's mentor, so it was only natural for them to be so close to each other. So after the mouth was happy, they also revealed the matter, after all, they couldn't tear their faces with the Yang family because of this matter.

It was so noisy until sunset that the Yang family was quiet. Mrs. Yang settled Mr. Yang to sleep, thought about it, and went to her daughter's room to check the needlework needed for the next hiring, and then returned to the room to rest with confidence.

The sun rises and sets, the stars change, and soon another three days passed, and the good day for the two families to make an appointment for the next hire has also arrived. Steward Zhang and Wen Niang found sixteen young descendants with good looks and good conduct in Yimianpo Village, each of them was issued with a set of blue clothes and pants and a wide red belt, dressed neatly and sat in the carriage, and followed Dong Ping to Yimian Po.

When the carriage stopped in front of the owner's house, the descendants jumped down and prepared to help carry the wedding gift box, but they were blocked by the people of Huaishu Village who rushed to see the excitement after hearing the news. So everyone can't help but praise it, and some of the daughters in the family have hooks in their eyes, and they can't wait to hook these descendants to look at each other carefully.

Mr. Dong changed into a new set of clothes, came out of the house with a red face, and after greeting the people of the same village, he set off happily with his son and the convoy. It stands to reason that it is best for an uncle of the same clan to lead the team in this matter, but Master Dong is an old brother, and he feels that he owes a lot to his son, so he went into battle in person.

Because of the families of the gentlemen, Bailu Academy built a high wall between the study house and the inner courtyard many years ago, and left a small door under the wall for gentlemen to enter and exit. More than a dozen gentlemen live in the adjacent small courtyard, and they get along with each other on weekdays, so naturally they can't hide anything, and it will spread throughout the courtyards in less than a moment.

Today, the Dong family came to give the dowry gift, and the gentlemen gathered at the Yang family early to have a good time. Mr. Yang is in good spirits at happy events, and the loud laughter spreads far away. A few naughty scholars seemed to find that the atmosphere on the territory of the gentlemen next door was a little different, so they found out that Dong Ping was going to marry the little sister of Mr. Yang's family.

This news instantly grew wings and quickly flew into various schools and dormitories, especially Dong Ping's classmates, who screamed excitedly after hearing about this.

This shouted, "When did Dong Juncheng deceive the little junior sister?" ”

The other one was also annoyed, "He's not enough of a brother, so he didn't tell us a big thing." ”

"Yes, this can't spare him. Let's go and settle accounts with him! ”

As he spoke, all the students threw away the books in their hands, and they didn't care about the homework that the husband told them to study on their own, so they ran to the corner gate. As a coincidence, Dong Ping happened to bring someone to walk over with the dowry.

Xu Mao shouted and ran over to pull him, hugged his neck firmly with his arms and shouted, "Dong Juncheng, you guy, when did you deceive your junior sister, you didn't even say a word to your brothers." You say, how to punish you! ”

"Yes, yes. If you don't satisfy your brothers, don't think about the dowry today! ”

Master Dong saw that his son was surrounded by a group of people in an instant, and he was so shocked that he stepped forward to help pull it. didn't want to be in charge of Zhang, but he stopped him and whispered a few words, and when Master Dong heard it, he smiled and stroked his beard and let his son "fall into trouble".
