Chapter 166 on marriage
Speaking of lifting people, if you don't pursue spiritual civilization such as personal values, from the perspective of material civilization alone, you definitely belong to the most refreshing group of people. There is an endless stream of donations, there is absolutely no shortage of money, and as a scholar, he enjoys all kinds of privileges. Especially in terms of property and personal safety, there are enough guarantees, for example, a local tyrant like Qin Bai may indeed have a lot of money, but can he catch up with the government and the powerful? In their eyes, these local tyrants are nothing more than fat sheep with a fat point. But in the face of scholars and doctors, it is necessary to take into account the public opinion of Shilin.
In addition to mastering public opinion, Juren is also naturally a local gentry leader, and can even influence the governance of the local government, and has great social influence. Anyway, the vast majority of Jinshi went out to be officials, and those who stayed in their hometowns were all lifters. It's a bit like those local councillors in modern society, if you provoke their group, it may not be easy to do something, but bad things have great energy.
Therefore, there will be a story like "Fan Jinzhongju", and there is a title like "Jinjuren", in a way, the happiness and sense of achievement of Xiucai and Jinshi in the examination are indeed far inferior to those in the examination.
Ding Qingfan knew that Huang Juren had great energy, so he would regret it again. In his eyes, it doesn't matter if he offends Qin Bai, but offending Huang Juren is a monstrous disaster. Steward Huang and Ding Qingfan were very familiar with the rules of this era, so they wanted to use the rules to suppress Qin Bai.
However, what they didn't expect was that Qin Bai happened to be the one who ignored the rules. He waved his hand without hesitation: "Then throw them all!" ”
Hundreds of thousands of matches up and down in a second, who has that bullshit time to grind their teeth with you?
……
However, what Qin Bai didn't expect was that Li Dang and Qin Gao were quite honest in their work. said to throw it out, but it was really thrown out, without the slightest discount, Ding Qingfan and Steward Huang all performed a dog gnawing mud at the gate of East Erfang. That Huang Butler Qin Bai won't care, but Ding Qingfan ......?
So when he returned to the inner house and saw Ding Yao, Qin Bai was a little embarrassed. Ding Yao didn't know what was happening outside, full of joy and shyness: "Wait a while...... You...... You're going to have to talk to my dad. ”
Qin Bai was speechless, how else could he say? People have already thrown out. After thinking about it, Ding Yao would know about this sooner or later. So he pondered his words for a while, and then briefly recounted what had just happened.
Finding that Ding Yao's face was becoming more and more pale, and the corners of his eyes were slowly turning red, Qin Bai hurriedly comforted: "Yao'er, you can live in peace, and I will deal with your father's affairs." You are father and daughter in the end, find an opportunity to talk about it in the future, there is nothing that cannot be solved. ”
Ding Yao's eyes slowly became firm: "Second Brother Bai, I am already your person." Yao'er listens to you. ”
At this time, Ding Yao was already discouraged, no matter how stupid he was, he would consider his own situation. The first time I was arrested for gambling debts, I was almost arrested. Now it's the second time, and she can't believe her father.
It's not that Ding Yao doesn't have filial piety, or no father-daughter love. Brain-dead episodes such as "parents' orders" may occur in literary works, but in real life, there are very few people who are willing to sacrifice themselves for foolishness. It's not cornered, especially now that there is such a choice as Qin Bai.
……
Unexpectedly, Ding Yao was much calmer than expected. She seemed to let go completely, and personally opened her mouth to discuss the wedding with Qin Bai, and even seemed a little impatient.
This allowed Qin Bai to learn a lot of knowledge about ancient weddings. There are many steps in the whole process, mainly three books and six rituals.
The three books are the letter of appointment, the letter of gift and the letter of welcome. The six rites are Nacai, Xiangming, Najib, Nazheng, Invitation, and Welcome. There are a lot of specific contents, so if you are interested, you can search for it. Qin Bai didn't want to wronged Ding Yao, and knew that women must attach great importance to their weddings, so they didn't think about making any changes.
However, there are objective situations that cannot be resolved. The matchmaker's words are simple, it is nothing more than finding a matchmaker, as long as the money is spent enough! But the parents' orders are a little more difficult. Qin Bai has no elders here, so he can decide for himself. Ding Yao has a Ding Qingfan here. So the two tacitly ignored the past. The first wood has become a boat, Ding Qingfan will never go to sue the official if he is ugly, right? If it is ruled by the government as "elopement", it doesn't matter if Qin Bai is a man, and the father and daughter of the Ding family will be completely discredited.
The other steps should be simplified and adapted. For example, Na Cheng Ji, both men and women are matched with eight characters, so there is no need for elders to come forward, and you can get your own eight characters.
However, everything that should be there is also everything, and Qin Bai is ready to do everything he can. is even willing to pay for himself to buy a decent dowry for Ding Yao. It's just that some things seem strange, such as giving geese as gifts during the Nacai period. In modern times, it is simply impossible to achieve it, unless you go to the zoo and steal it, there is simply no place to buy it in the market.
However, no matter how much it is simplified, the time of the whole process will not be reduced much. Therefore, the two of them calculated, and it basically took about half a year.
But after the discussion, Qin Bai always felt a little weird. How do you make it like a business? And is it a man and a woman who are talking about marriage face-to-face?
"Yao'er, it's not a good thing to stay with me. There is no guarantee of my own safety. You can still regret it. Qin Bai finally reminded.
Ding Yao smiled with a hint of bitterness: "Yao'er understands, no matter how bad it is, it will be worse than leaving here?" ”
Qin Bai nodded, understanding what Ding Yao meant. She just wanted to settle this family affair as soon as possible, and Ding Qingfan, a pit girl madman in the province, became nervous again.
However, when I think of myself, I don't seem to have the life to fall in love, whether it is in my past or present life, single or married. I always feel that the family affair between the two is a little inexplicable, and there is not even a process. Qin Bai finally couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm sorry for you, I'm really not a good match!" ”
However, Ding Yao suddenly misunderstood what Qin Bai meant, she bit her lip and said in a low voice, "Second Brother Bai, it's okay." Yao'er will not be that kind of jealous woman in the future. Yao'er would be nice to her sisters. ”
Qin Bai was stunned: "Huh? Only then did he remember that he had lived happily in the old society of all evils. However, basic emotional intelligence is still there. Anyway, even if you hear this, there is no woman who doesn't care about this. Misunderstanding is misunderstanding! Qin Bai didn't want to defend himself.
"Second Brother Bai, there is one more thing I want to ask you. Daddy ...... there? ”
"Don't worry, I'll keep him safe for the rest of his life."
"Uh-huh. Thank you, Second Brother Bai! ”
