September, XXVII.

Appropriate: collection, sacrifice, prayer, lifting, groundbreaking, groundbreaking, burial

Don't: marry, migrate, enter the house

Zhang Ze sat in his position, a little uneasy, his left hand stretched the coat on his body over and over again (this coat is not the coat), and his right hand was placed on the table beside him, constantly scrubbing a prayer note at hand.

Looking at the signs that the prayer post was about to wear out the epidermis, it showed that it had been some time since the worship post was handed over, and Zhang Ze did not relax his destruction.

"Are you really coming today?"

"If you really come, will the old man agree? Or do you say yes? Or do you say yes? ”

“……”

Zhang Ze's tangled heart did not realize that the entanglement in his heart was actually not accurate, or the direction was not vague.

"Sir!"

The butler's light call pulled Zhang Ze's mind back.

"Hu Daru has arrived!"

Zhang Zeteng stood up suddenly, and was about to go out to greet him, but when he thought of today's events, he settled down, sat down again, and said, "Open the door, you will personally welcome them in!" ”

"Yes, sir!"

The butler answered. He also knows what is going on today, as the party who is being raised, it is usually the housekeeper who goes out to greet him, and Gao Tang is to put up a shelf to show that his daughter is virtuous and virtuous, and she is a good match. This is true even for those who have reached verbal agreements. Of course, this refers to marrying a wife, and concubines and the like are not among them, it is much simpler, generally giving a small dowry, and choosing a day to carry back in the afternoon or evening, and it is not without that day.

However, Zhang Ze didn't know what his psychology was, and after the housekeeper left, he still got up and came to the door of the lobby.

Hu Yan is old, but he doesn't rely on the old and sell the old, seeing Zhang Ze's figure, the speed under his feet is slightly faster.

"Youlao Zhang's family master has been waiting for a long time!"

"You're welcome!" Zhang Ze first returned the salute, then let go of half of his body, stretched out his left hand, and asked, "Please inside!" ”

"Please!"

Two entered, while the rest waited outside.

Sit down.

Hu Yan said with a solemn face: "Today, there are children of the Gongsun family of Liaodong, who are obscure, the word is promoted, he is seventeen years old, he is outstanding in learning, his martial arts are outstanding, his reputation is known abroad, and he is a rare talent in the world......"

The words of praise slowly came out like that upright matchmaker, and after talking for a long time, he concluded-

"Now the old man is entrusted by him to ask for an order from the door, is it allowed?"

This is the first procedure for proposing——

Nacai!

Although Zhang Ze knew that this was a normal process, he was still a little stunned by the words spit out one after another, because he didn't reply immediately, or rather, this was his intention, and he was still struggling.

Hu Yan didn't speak anymore, just sat on the chair, looked at Zhang Ze with his eyes faintly, and waited quietly, even the tea on the side didn't mean to move.

The eerie atmosphere did not make the two act differently.

There is still one person with empty eyes, and one person is calm!

Call~

Suddenly, Zhang Ze's moving figure appeared in Zhang Ze's mind, and he couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, and said, "The old man agreed!" ”

Hu Yan took a deep look at Zhang Ze, Zhang Ze's move was already putting his life in the hands of Gongsun Du, if he angered the current emperor because of this, not only Gongsun Du would be finished, but he Zhang Ze and the Zhang family would not be able to escape.

There was no persuasion, and he said directly: "Perhaps, dare to ask Ling Yanfang's name?" How old is it? ”

To put it simply, oh, it's the name and the eight characters of the birthday. (I checked it, and the name is not included in the eight characters of the birthday)

This is the second procedure of proposing -

Ask for a name!

But this is just a scene, Zhang Ze, who has already made up his mind, immediately replied: "Little girl Zhizhi, the first year of peace, the first year of Gengyin, the month of Jiaxu, ......"

"Gongsun Du, the second year of Yuanjia, the year of Renchen Gengwuyue ......"

Hu Yan also talked about Gongsun Du's birthday. Originally, this shouldn't be, it should be to get the woman's birth date, and then enter the temple for divination, so that it can be determined (this thing is more of a process).

After finishing speaking, Hu Yan didn't know where to take out the turtle plate and other things used for divination, and began the third procedure-

Najib!

"Jingle bell" sounded, and the final result was self-evident. And it's good luck!

Although he knew that this would be the case, Zhang Ze saw this, and his heart was still much more relaxed. On the contrary, it is nonsense, although there is no change on the face, but the bottom of the heart is full of doubts.

He has always been against the marriage of Gongsun Du and Zhang Zhi, even if he has to be a matchmaker now, he has no intention of changing his inner thoughts, because he has already gotten the birth dates of the two, and wants to dissuade Gongsun Du from divination.

However, reality gave him a hard blow, whether it was tortoise shell, or yarrow, etc., the result of divination was very uniform, that is, good luck! It's the same even if you do divination multiple times in a row.

Therefore, although Hu Yan still felt that it was inappropriate, he still changed his mind slightly, because when he was studying, he had heard that King Wen, the First Emperor, and Gaozu had such an experience.

That......

It's scary to think about it.

"The Emperor and the Queen of Heaven are very lucky!"

Hu Yan sang loudly, then took out the gift list that had been prepared for a long time, and shouted outward: "Carry the dowry in!" ”

Then, he handed the gift list to Zhang Ze, and after returning to his position, he said again: "Two wild geese, two hundred gold, twenty Shu brocade, two hundred coarse cloth, two hundred stones of rice, two hundred jars of wine, and sake (not the one of a certain book)......"

A series of a total of more than 30 kinds, the value of high and low, the highest is naturally "fine wine", each altar does not say ten thousand gold, a thousand gold, but a hundred gold is indispensable, in addition, there are thousands of gold.

Originally, Gongsun Du disagreed with such extravagance and waste, but was stopped by Wei You and others, including Hu Yan. Not to mention anything else, Gongsun is the lord of Liaodong, if he is too shabby, he will be laughed at. Moreover, in addition to the value of the wine itself, the cost of making it by Gongsun Du's subordinates is actually very low.

The most important thing is that Gongsun Du uses less dowry, so what should those who have been married before and will marry in the future?

Will those who have already married feel that they have given too much at the beginning? If you want to get married, will you feel that you have to lower the dowry again, so that it will be lowered layer by layer, and in the end, there will be a dowry?

Zhang Ze didn't know these inside information, he only cared about the contradictions these days, but he was also a little relieved to see these dowries. No more, no less, it shows sincerity, but it doesn't make people feel embarrassed and feel too precious. Or some people will think that more is better, but Zhang Ze definitely won't.

At this time, he was not a businessman, nor was he the head of a family, but a father who loved his daughter.

No matter how much the dowry is, it can't be worth whether the daughter's future life is good. He has seen many examples of taking out many dowry gifts when proposing marriage, and being poor after getting married.

Zhang Ze nodded with a smile and said, "Please ask Hu Daru to turn around and ascend, the old man is very satisfied, and I hope he can treat Zhi'er well in the future." ”

After the levy, it's time to apply!

Yes, Zhang Ze then said: "It's just that Zhi'er and his mother went early, and the old man hopes to postpone the day for a while, I don't know what Hu Daru thinks?" ”

Zhang Ze was originally because he loved his daughter, but it was exactly in line with Hu Yan's thoughts, so he immediately nodded and responded: "Judging from the eight characters of the two birthdates, it is better to get married on the day of Wuchen and Wuyin in the next year." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, and then said happily, "What Hu Daru said is extremely true, just this day!" What a day! ”

Seeing this, Hu Yan was overjoyed: It should be enough to delay for such a long time! If the imperial court can't recover Youzhou at that time, it can only be said that it is providence!

After the dowry was put down, Hu Yan returned to the Taishou Mansion and returned the good news to Gongsun Du.

"Does it have to be this day?" Gongsun Du was upset when he heard that he would have to wait for almost a year and a half, and asked.

Hu Yan made a straight face and said: "My lord, this is based on the birth dates of the two of you, and it cannot be changed by the elderly, and the head of the Zhang family also agreed." ”

When Gongsun Du heard this, although he was still dissatisfied, he still agreed: "Okay, then so be it!" ”

Hu Yan left satisfied.

But I didn't know that Gongsun Du was relaxed for a while: That's okay, Zhi'er is eighteen years old, so it is not considered an early marriage!
