"Cousin, Ming'er will trouble you to accompany my sister." Yun Xiang said to Wei Yu with a smile.

Wei Yu has always been very low-key, and when he has nothing to do, he stays in his small yard to do needlework. Sometimes I go to Yunlian to go out of the door, or go to ask for peace for the Zhou family. Several little girls who served her also liked her very much, saying that she was quiet and good-tempered.

Yun Xiang doesn't blindly trust a person, so she plans to test this matter too.

Wei Yu laughed softly, she bowed her head gently, and her voice was soft, "I know, is it tomorrow?" ”

Yun Xiang nodded, "Yes, I will officially come to propose tomorrow." My elder brother's time is limited, so I have to be tight. ”

Wei Yu smiled and said generously, "It's really enviable." ”

Yun Xiang also smiled, "Cousin, don't worry, fate is predestined, and you can't run away on time." "You can't get it if it's not yours. So, Anfen is the best.

Wei Yu raised her eyes to look at Yun Xiang, she had heard about Zhou Qin, and knew that Yun Xiang was deliberately warning herself. So he said very seriously, "I know my catties and I will never ask for anything." ”

"Cousin understands, I was also bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope. Don't blame cousin. Yun Xiang also apologized generously. No ideas are best. My aunt's family is generally good.

Wei Yu sighed, "I understand, don't worry." She didn't think that Yun Xiang had done too much at all, if she had done it, she would have done more for her sister to add some troublesome things.

Nacai is the first stage of the marriage proposal, and the man asked the matchmaker to mention the family. The woman agrees to the marriage, and the man prepares a gift to go to the woman's house to propose, and the gift is a goose. The geese must all live. The goose is a migratory bird, taking the symbol of yin and yang, and saying that the goose loses its mate, and will no longer be a pair for life, so take its loyalty.

Yun Lian wanted to discuss the matter of marriage, and she didn't say much to others, so she was very low-key. But a white horse riding a divine steed. Dressed in an ivory white gongbi landscape tower round-necked robe, Situ Liufeng, wearing a jade crown, carried a pair of geese into the gate of Liu's mansion. It's just a morning's work. The entire Dongxuan Mansion knew about Yunlian's marriage.

Xiao Yan did not invite the official media. Instead, he personally took out Situ Liufeng's Geng post, "This is my junior brother's birthday, please accept it." ”

Zhou Shi took the Geng post and said with a smile. "We took it. Please dine at the house later. In three days, we'll talk about other things. ”

This app is all about asking for names. Generally, after the marriage proposal, the two families will exchange Geng posts and take them to get married. Then press it on top of the lobby, or in front of the ancestral tablet. If nothing bad happens within three days, it will pass without a hitch.

Three days later, Xiao Yan came to Liu's Mansion early with Situ Liufeng. Because his time is limited, he is reluctant to procrastinate. When the time is up, move on to the following procedure.

Najib is the etiquette of informing the woman of the good news of the marriage after asking the name. It is also called "making alliances". This is the main etiquette at the stage of engagement. They came to the door this time and solemnly sent a token of marriage.

It was a pair of mandarin duck jade pendants with mutton fat and white jade. The tentacles are warm. The texture is delicate and smooth, and it emits a soft light under the illumination of the light.

When Yun Xiang saw the jade pendant, she knew that this thing came from the treasure house of the senior brother, and it must be one of the treasures that Situ Liufeng picked out in the treasure house every year over the years.

Since it is a token of kinship, it is naturally one for each person. But it stands to reason that the woman should also give the man a token. But the Zhou family is newly rich, and there are not so many cherished treasures. Most of the things left by the ancestors are women's jewelry, and I really don't know what to give.

Yun Xiang knew that the senior brother and the second senior brother were used to seeing treasures, and they couldn't look down on things in general. So he took out a pocket watch from the space. She is a younger sister on one side and a younger sister on the other, and it is said that both sides are close. However, the identity of the second senior brother is a mystery, and it is difficult to say whether any family will suddenly appear in the future. She didn't want her sister to be despised for something, so she had to come up with something good that could be calmed down.

This pocket watch is a gold case with twenty-four delicate sapphires on it, which is very luxurious. It is very in line with Situ Liufeng's style.

Sure enough, this thing has been sent out, and even Xiao Yan, who prides himself on being accustomed to seeing treasures, can't help but be surprised to come over and play with it.

"What is this?"

"It's for the hour, and I call it a pocket watch." Yun Xiang explained, "The number in it is time. Every two hours is an hour, and many small hours are subdivided. The long hand is the minute hand, the short hand is the watch hand, the long hand is a quarter of an hour in three squares, and the short hand is half an hour when it goes one square. ”

Xiao Yan was still curiously calculating the time, and Situ Liufeng had already snatched it up and put it in his arms. "This is my engagement token." Therefore, it must not fall into the hands of others!

This pocket watch has a bracelet, and Yun Lian put a lot of thought into making a small cover for the pocket watch, royal blue satin, and white lotus flowers. Now, Situ Liufeng is even more reluctant to let go.

Xiao Yan looked at Yun Xiang, the meaning was very clear. It's that he wants one too. Yun Xiang was very embarrassed, not that she didn't have it, but that it was not suitable. What Yunlian gave to Situ Liufeng was a token of love! If you give one to your brother, what will it become? She winked at Xiao Yan, signaling that she couldn't forget him. In his heart, he made up his mind to give him a mechanical watch, which must not be the same as Situ Liufeng's.

The next step is to levy. This is the ceremony that after the engagement, the man's family sends the dowry to the woman's family, which is the etiquette at the marriage stage. This wedding is also commonly known as a complete or big engagement, a big gift, etc.

The Zhou family didn't want Yunlian to marry in a hurry, and according to Yunxiang's meaning, the Liu family was afraid that they would enter Beijing after the year. "Our marriage has been decided, and the tokens have been exchanged, so you should be relieved. Let me say something very selfish, my daughter can't get married in a hurry, even if I prepare the dowry, I need a while. What's more, there may be changes in the affairs of our master after the year...... Your house was purchased in the capital, and I also need to send someone to measure the size so that I can make some furniture. ”

Xiao Yan nodded and looked at Situ Liufeng. Generally, after being engaged, it will take three months to get married at the earliest. It's a long time, and it's a few years. People who value their daughters want to keep their daughters well. One is to show that he likes his daughter, and the other is to organize and prepare a dowry for his daughter.

Situ Liufeng naturally nodded, "Then let's wait until the end of the year." He also got the news that the Liu family was going to enter Beijing, so he bought a house in the capital. The house is newly bought, and it has to be painted anew, and some of the patterns have to be changed. Except for the furniture in the upper room of the main courtyard, which is for the woman to marry, he plans to replace the other furniture with new ones.

In addition, the housekeeper and the subordinates must be in place, so that Yunlian can be comfortable as the young grandmother in charge.

Yun Xiang looked at Yun Lian, who was hiding behind the bead curtain in the side hall, her face flushed, and her heart was mixed. Is it okay for her to be a sister, not a mother. How can there be a complicated feeling of a family girl? (To be continued.) )
