The so-called good things are grinding, Yang Cong's marriage lasted for several months, and finally it was time to set the date, that is, to set the date of marriage.

At this time, this step is called the invitation period, that is, the man's parents choose a few special auspicious days to send to the woman's family, and then the woman's family chooses the best day.

It's not easy to become a parent these days, and there are six steps to follow according to the rules.

The first step is to accept the lottery, that is, the man asks a matchmaker to bring gifts to the woman's house to introduce the situation of his family, and see if the woman's family is interested in marrying.

To talk about this step, Lu Ling'er's family is simple, basically Nacai is a matter of this month, because Lu Song and Yang Lin have been in contact for less than a month.

Zhang Zhen's family is different, Yang Cong and his grandfather Yang Rong have been grinding with the Zhang family for more than ten years, and the middle matchmaker must have been invited, but the Zhang family has been lukewarm, and this lottery can be described as extremely difficult.

The next second step is to ask for the name, that is, the parents of both parties intend to get married, and they will hand over the names and birthdays of the men and women to the matchmaker to ask the good luck, and if there is no problem, the next step will be carried out.

This step is not a joke in these years, if the birthday is not right, then you can't get married, there is nothing to say.

As for how to deal with this birthday, it is said that it is based on the law of the five elements, the so-called white horse commits the green ox, the sheep and the mouse once rest, and the chicken and monkey do not have their heads, which is roughly the meaning.

However, as long as they don't restrain each other, this family affair can basically be done, because after all, the matchmaker has received money, even if it is not very suitable, they will say that this marriage is suitable.

The next third step is Najib, that is to say, the matchmaker went to the temple to get Jibu, to inform the woman's family, this family is quite appropriate, at this time, according to the customary etiquette, the woman's family is to send a goose to the matchmaker, and I don't know why there are so many geese in ancient times, geese in later generations are not so common, I can only see a lot of words about "Hong Geese" in the book.

The next fourth step is to pay for the levy, that is, the next dowry, there are no strict rules for this dowry, mainly depending on the conditions of the man's family, the rich nature is silk and satin, gold and silver treasures, pigs, cattle and sheep and other livestock, how to be polite, no money to send some food and daily necessities.

The fifth step is the invitation date, which is the date when the woman's family chooses to marry.

This step seems to be very simple, that is, the woman's parents choose a day among several auspicious days of the zodiac, but it is a little troublesome to get to Yang Cong, because he wants to marry two at a time, and Lu Linger and Zhang Zhen are not ordinary daughters.

Although it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines in these years, it is really rare to marry two at a time and marry at the same time.

According to the rules, even if they are the same wife, they must be divided into sizes, so there are often big wives and second wives in the play.

If the Lu family and the Zhang family are ordinary eunuchs, the size is not easy to distinguish, even if the difference in official positions is a bit big, if you want to make someone's daughter small, people will not be happy, after all, the daughter of the eunuch family in these years is not worried about marrying at all, there is a big impropriety, why should you be a small.

This is a matter of face, generally even a small official can't save this face, from here you can also see how hard Xu Jie is in history, he actually married his granddaughter to Yan Song's grandson as a little wife, which requires a lot of courage and a very thick skin, of course, as a man's parent, Yan Song also feels that he has a lot of face.

This Lu Song and Zhang Yue are not Xu Jie, who of them can save this face?

This, of course, is Zhang Yue, because Lu Linger is the emperor's sister, the kind that is closer than her own sister, she has played with the emperor since she was a child, she wants to cry, the emperor will be scared and at a loss, who dares to let her be wronged.

Therefore, Zhang Yue took the initiative to choose the last one among the auspicious days, and Lu Song also had a tacit understanding to choose the first one among the auspicious days, so that the marriage between the two families was about half a month apart, and the Yang family was more convenient to prepare.

Next is the last step to welcome the bride, at this time Yang Cong has to play, he has to wear a big red robe, take the big red flower to pick up the bride, and also have to prepare a banquet to entertain relatives and friends.

At this moment, the whole capital was shocked, joking, marrying the emperor's dearest sister, it is natural to be as grand as possible, the Yang family is also not short of money, just the wine banquet has set up hundreds of tables, and it has been placed for more than ten days, almost all the officials and gentry in the capital have received invitations, of course, there is no compulsion to go to the Yang family.

In short, the Yang family just wants to make the marriage as lively as possible, don't lose the emperor's face, and the officials in the capital are also very knowledgeable, and many of them take the initiative to send people to stare at the Yang family's banquet, but whenever the seat is not full, there are always people who come late with gifts, and do not call a seat empty.

This time Yang Cong was also tossed miserably, he was the champion, and he married the emperor's sister, and the person who presided over the wedding was still the head of the court, Li Shi, who came to celebrate, and naturally there were countless high-ranking officials and princes and nobles in the court, and he couldn't slack off any of them, so he had to accompany him every meal, and he was often filled with people who couldn't distinguish between east and west, north and south.

On the day Yang Cong and Lu Ling'er got married, the scene was quite spectacular, Jiajing not only sent several cars of dowry, but also authorized Lu Song to organize Jinyi Wei to support the scene, that guy, when the first assistant of the dynasty led the team, there were majestic Jinyi guards everywhere, even if the crown of the capital was gathered, it was the Yang family who made the marriage scene so grand.

On this day, the people of the capital have seen it for a long time, it seems that in addition to the emperor's marriage, it is also the most lively this time, the problem is that the emperor is in the palace, and the ordinary people can't see it.

That guy, almost the entire capital is crowded to Yongfang, from West Chang'an Street to the south wall of the inner city, there are crowds of people everywhere, except for the main road between Yang Mansion and Lu Mansion is guarded by brocade guards, and almost all other places are crowded and impassable.

The gongs and drums in the capital were noisy, and after a day of excitement, Yang Cong finally welcomed Lu Linger into the house, and as for the last cave room or something, he skipped it.

The Yang family really held a grand wedding this time, and the name of Yang Cong spread almost all over the capital, but the ordinary people didn't know that it was not over.

The Yang family hurriedly prepared for a few days, and even began to set up a banquet again.

People in the capital basically know about the marriage of Yang Cong and Lu Ling'er, but not many people know about the marriage between Yang Cong and Zhang Zhen, after all, Zhang Yue's official position is there, and no one will advertise that his daughter is going to marry someone to be a child.

As soon as the news of Yang Cong's marriage again came out, it made people's eyes red.

It's already great that your guy can marry the daughter of the Lu family, and he even married the emperor's new favorite, the daughter of Zhang Yue, the left deputy of the Imperial Palace, this guy, the future is limitless.

Yang Cong didn't think about the future at this time, what he was most worried about was whether Lu Linger and Zhang Zhen could get along, if the two of them had a conflict, then he would have a big head.

Fortunately, Lu Ling'er is innocent by nature, Zhang Zhen is gentle and considerate by nature, the two personalities are quite compatible, and neither of them is from ordinary families, they have seen a lot of men's three wives and four concubines, and Lu Ling'er, dozens of concubines in Jiajing, have seen it, and they don't have many opinions on Yang Cong's behavior of marrying the two of them at once.

However, just one point, Lu Linger is a little too lively, and when she is with Zhang Zhen, she is like a child, she doesn't look like a big wife at all, but the gentle and virtuous Zhang Zhen seems to be big.
