12. Chapter 11

Duan Ding and Gu Ren had a tacit understanding in their hearts, and naturally they both took action. Originally, they have been engaged for many years, three books and six ceremonies for marriage, Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, asking for periods, and six steps.

Although Qiluo and Gu Ren have been married since childhood, they are both verbal agreements, but the problem is that even if they are verbal agreements, they have legal effect. But even if there is legal efficiency, every step that needs to be taken has to be repeated.

So obviously the Gu family has Qiluo's Geng post, but their family still found a matchmaker and came over with thirty gifts to propose to them. Kira listened to the knocking outside, looked at the sky, and then directly lowered his head and concentrated on his own business. This step is called Nacai!

The second step is called asking the name, that is, the woman's family accepts the man's proposal, and the woman's family hands over the daughter's Gengti Bazi box to the man's family, and asks them to go to the Bazi and ask the good luck. Kira actually really wants to look up to the sky. Ask for a name, please, how many years have you taken away my Gengti, and you still ask for a name?

However, she couldn't help but think about it, how did she live these six rites in her last life? I can't remember it, it seems to be very grand, the Cheng family is in accordance with the rules, it is really three books and six ceremonies, and she is married by a famous matchmaker.

But she can't remember anything about that time now, it was too hurtful at that time, arguing with her parents, even if they reluctantly agreed, but it felt like she had nothing else but longing for life after marriage.

The third step is Najib, that is, both men and women have actually received the Geng post of the opposite family, in addition to offering in front of the ancestral tablet, asking the good luck, in fact, basically, this matter is settled.

The first three steps sound very annoying, but in fact, it can be done in one day, that is, take the form, knock and knock in the morning to ask for relatives and gifts, who is willing to put down the bottom of the child to refuse. Generally, they say it in private, they have combined the eight characters, and they have all seen each other, so they will come over so blatantly to ask for marriage, otherwise they will be rejected, and it will be spread out in the future, who will dare to marry and dare to marry. So it's customary, and when you come to propose, everyone basically thinks that this matter is a certainty. So the next day, the whole medical community in the capital knew that the medicine king Gu family was going to marry the daughter of the Shenzhu Duan family.

The marriage is finally finalized, in principle, the wedding in this era, is a very troublesome thing, a marriage, there are many details in the middle, especially in the woman's family, just preparing the dowry is an extremely cumbersome matter.

Because the fourth step is recruitment, which is a month or two before the wedding, the man's family sends the letter of appointment and the letter of gift to the woman's family. Then find a matchmaker, and a few Quanfu wives will send the bride price, gift money, and dowry to the woman's house, and the woman's family will return the gift. said that it was time to proceed to the next step.

The fifth step is that the man chooses a day and tells the woman, and the woman agrees. You can proceed to the sixth step of marriage.

In fact, the fourth and fifth can also be completed at one time, that is, choose a day, there are only a few days in a year that can match the birthdays of the two of them, especially if you want to do it as soon as possible, so in general, the days are also very easy to pick. Otherwise, the next generation would not have simplified the Three Books and Six Rites into three steps, but then again, in fact, there are really only three steps. Propose, discuss and marry. How simple!

But it's easy to say, but there's a lot in between. Even if the Gu Duan family is not a big family, even if the procedures are simplified a lot, at least it will take at least two months in the middle to get it done. This was only succeeded by Gu Ren's private efforts.

At this time, the marriage is actually not much different from the later generations, the man goes out of the house, and the woman has to fill the house, so the most troublesome thing is to beat the furniture. Because you have to go to the man's house to measure the house first, and then fill the room with furniture to use. The old gifts of the Chinese, the new people and the new spirit, cannot use the old ones.

The father of the Duan family is obsessed with medical skills, and he himself is from a poor background, how can he know that it is so troublesome to become a parent? And Aunt Duan felt that her daughter was still young, although she had saved a lot of good things, but everything was not discussed, so she went to the man's house to measure the house and customize the furniture. How ugly is it to spread out, for fear that my daughter will not be able to get married? So I really couldn't do this before.

I have to say that Gu Ren is really considerate, after he was in Qiluo 15 and Jing, he asked the craftsman to make the furniture, and the old camphor wood in Yishui was done, and it was polished and oiled by the craftsman. At this point, it happened to be pulled to the Duan family in one go, and it only needed to be re-polished and the last varnish, and it could be very beautiful.

However, Master Duan is not the one who likes to take advantage, he immediately transported the good wood stored for Qiluo to the Gu family, the meaning is very clear, we are in a hurry, so I won't fight with you, but I will not lack anything that we should prepare.

Master Gu was also very helpless to his stubborn junior brother, so he only let people enter the treasury, saying that it was better to leave it to his grandson. kicked his son by the way, "You want to marry your daughter-in-law so quickly, you can't wait for this time?" ”

Furniture is the most time-consuming, and now it is solved, but the rest is not simple. Generally, the dowry is something that a girl will use in her mother-in-law's house for the rest of her life, and there is also a stitch and thread, and I don't use yours, so you can't look down on me.

The richer the accompaniment, the more expensive the daughter is at home, and the in-laws dare not underestimate it, so every mother-in-law is actually eager to give everything to her daughter, for fear that her daughter will suffer a little in her in-law's house. What's more, Aunt Duan has a daughter and no son. Naturally, it is as much as you can give, and as much as you can get, you will be richer.

But the wedding dress, the hijab should be embroidered, as well as the clothes, shoes and socks for the male parents, all of which will take time. Now that she is fierce, she suddenly said that she wanted her daughter to get married immediately, and Aunt Duan really even had the heart to die, so she directly pulled Dr. Duan to scold him, and asked him why he went earlier?

Can Doctor Duan say that it was originally enough time, didn't he kill a noble son halfway? The two of them are ranked first in the medical industry, but as the old saying goes, the people don't fight with the officials, so why bother. Of course, he didn't scare his old wife when he said this, just let her prepare. It's just an extra cost!

Of course, after saying this, I was scolded by Aunt Duan again, what is it called just spending more money, with this money, it is not possible to buy another piece of jewelry for my daughter!

Doctor Duan doesn't look strict with his daughter, but in terms of housework, he really doesn't understand at all, the family is full of old wives who have the final say, so what she said, honestly touched her nose and went back to the study, anyway, he is responsible for booking the day, and the old wife will watch and do other things.

PS: It's not a question of whether Kira is happy or not, but it can only go on like this.
