It is advisable to seek an heir and marry!

Zhang Meng went out early in the morning, took a few hundred brothers, smashed open many famous shops in Nanjing, and dragged the shopkeepers of the major shops from the bed, these shopkeepers thought that they had been robbed, and they were ready to spend money to buy their lives, who knew that people were just here to buy things, and the shopkeepers couldn't help but sigh that this world is difficult, and even selling something can not be treated gently.

All kinds of wedding cakes, happy fruits, red satin, red lanterns, and letters of appointment...... As long as you are married, you have to buy it, and you have to buy the best. personally handled Lord Cao's wedding, Zhang Meng was very happy, Lord Cao's wedding was handled by him, although this is not a big deal, but it shows that Lord Cao regards him as a confidant, which makes the other hundreds of households very jealous.

In ancient times, people attached great importance to personal greeting, and if they did not marry through the gift of personal welcome, it was considered unorthodox and would be ridiculed by the world. Therefore, the gift of marriage is very important, even if Cao Wei is a modern person, he has to marry according to the ancient rites, if he really travels abroad, even if he gets married, he must not be chewed off by others, not to mention that the law of the Ming Dynasty will not recognize the relationship between husband and wife.

Therefore, Cao Wei sent the sweet potatoes to the Wei Mansion two days ago, and asked the Wei Mansion to act as the sweet potato's maiden family, and instructed Zhang Meng to strictly follow the ancient ritual procedures, give three books and six rituals, and convince people with reason when handling it.

It's just that Zhang Meng has never organized a wedding, so the process of handling it is definitely not Sven, first smashed the door of the shop, bought the things needed to get married, and then hired a matchmaker to go to the Wei Mansion to propose marriage. Mrs. Liu just walked a little slower, so Zhang Meng picked her up and strode towards the Duke of Wei's mansion, ignoring Mrs. Liu's shouting.

The proposal is also called Nacai, which is the first of the six rites. When the man is interested in the woman, the man proposes to the woman, asks the matchmaker to be the matchmaker, and after the woman agrees, he will accept the engagement gift sent by the man's family, which is called Nacai.

In ancient times, "geese" were used as gifts, which had four basic meanings: one was to take yin and yang, and the woman followed the righteousness of her husband. The second is not to lose time and festival. The third is to marry the young and the old in an orderly manner, and not boast of each other. Fourth, the use of geese at that time also used a metaphor for its meaning of starting from the beginning to the end and not in Jiao, which was to strengthen social needs or always remind people of their behavioral concepts in family life.

In today's world, the male family uses raw noodles, and the meat bag box is carried to the woman's family, and the female family needs to return to the gauze scarf, sugar, thorn, silk scarf, flower belly and other things.

Zhang Meng hired a team of gongs and drummers who specialize in happy events, set off from Cao's mansion, with the happy fruits just bought in the morning, geese and other things, blowing and blowing all over the street, and walked towards the Wei State Mansion, and the sound of artillery battles woke up Nanjing City, and the people all knew that Cao Qianhu, the brocade guard, was going to marry the righteous daughter that Wei Guogong had just accepted.

The people stood on the side of the street and watched with envy as the lively procession of greeting relatives passed through the street. The children follow behind the greetering team to pick up the candy scattered by the greeting team. There was a group of beggars blocking the way when the greeting team went halfway, and Mrs. Liu saw a lot and threw a handful of copper coins at the beggars, and the beggars helped the greeting team to create momentum together, and the greeting process became more lively.

In front of the Wei Mansion, the old man Xu led a group of people to stand at the door with a smile, the matchmaker handed over the letter of appointment and the letter of gift, and the old man Xu accepted it in front of countless onlookers without saying a word, and then handed Liu a piece of paper with the name and birthday of the sweet potato written on it.

Mrs. Liu handed the paper to a fortune teller who followed, and then took out a piece of paper from her arms, on which Cao Wei's birth date was written. I saw the fortune teller holding two pieces of paper, looking at the sky, pinching his fingers and calculating for a while, and then said to the people: "A match made in heaven, it is really a perfect match!" ”

A burst of cheers broke out among the people, and Zhang Meng took a few captains to throw a few handfuls of copper coins into the crowd, and the scene became even more popular. At this point, Nacai, the name and Najib in the six rites are completed. The greeting team returned to Caofu again, waiting for the next greeting matters.

This is followed by the six rites of acceptance, invitation, and welcome.

Acceptance is the formal dowry gift, and the man gives gifts, cakes, gifts and sacrifices to the woman's home, which is called acceptance. Of course, the larger the family, the heavier the gift, which shows status and wealth, and indicates that the man has the ability to take care of the woman's married life.

The invitation period is that the man's family asks the fortune teller to choose a day, and after determining the auspicious date for marrying, he will send someone to inform the woman's family and ask for the opinion of the woman's family, which is called the invitation period, also known as the begging day.

Greeting is the last procedure of the six ceremonies, that is, the groom goes to the woman's house to greet the bride by limousine, showing respect for the woman and the strong desire of the man to marry the bride.

Early the next morning, Zhang Meng took people to the Wei Mansion with various bride prices, and then the accompanying fortune teller patted his chest and said that the day after tomorrow is a rare auspicious day of the zodiac in a hundred years, which is the most suitable for marriage, and the old man Xu accepted the bride price with a smile, and then told Zhang Meng to let him tell Cao Wei that the wedding was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

Time flies, and a day later, the day of intimidation has arrived.

Cao Wei was put on a bright red auspicious dress by a few old mothers early in the morning, with two palace flowers inserted directly on the black black yarn, and a big red flower in front of him, so a handsome groom with red lips and white teeth appeared.

Surrounded by the greeting team and a group of subordinates, Cao Wei rode a high-headed horse, and set off towards the Wei Mansion with great satisfaction, along the way the suona gongs and drummers worked hard to blow and blow, and the greeting team sprinkled copper plates indiscriminately, seeing Cao Wei's face twitching, he wanted to jump off the horse to pick up the copper plates, but he was too embarrassed to dislike it, so he gave up.

The welcoming team entered the Wei State Mansion, Xu Peng came out to receive him, said a few words of painless scenes, and then led Cao Wei to meet the old man Xu and the old lady.

When Cao Wei walked into the inner hall, Old Man Xu and Old Lady Xu sat on the chairs, Cao Wei picked up the tea sent by the servant, put it in front of the table of the old couple, bowed and saluted: "I have seen my father-in-law and mother-in-law." ”

The old lady couldn't close her mouth with a smile, but Old Man Xu had a bitter face, looked at Cao Wei's smug appearance, and snorted coldly: "If you don't treat Wan'er well in the future, I will take three hundred armor soldiers to cramp and skin you alive, crush your bones and scatter ashes, and then scatter the ashes into the dung pit, so that you can't live in peace......

Cao Wei was in a cold sweat, what's wrong with this old man Xu? Just borrowing a piece of land to act as the maiden family of sweet potatoes, how can you do it like you want to marry your own daughter, Old Man Xu can play this play!

Old man Xu didn't notice it, he still said the most vicious words, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, foaming at the mouth, and there was a tendency to come forward and beat Cao Wei if he didn't agree with him, and even it was possible to use a knife......

Mrs. Xu quietly kicked the old man with her foot, and the old man stopped his mouth unsatisfied, and then Cao Wei respectfully handed over the letter of welcome, the old man snorted coldly and accepted it, and was about to speak, when the old lady gave him a fierce look, and the old man reluctantly turned his face away.

At this point, the three books and six ceremonies were all finished, and everyone surrounded Cao Wei and happily walked into the inner courtyard of the Wei Mansion, and then gave the maids and servants who blocked the road two taels of silver each, so that they had to get out of the way.

Sweet potato was led out of the room by the bride, Cao Wei looked at the sweet potato with a smile, although he couldn't see the face of the sweet potato clearly with the hijab, but the big red wedding dress made the sweet potato look very beautiful, this is the woman who wants to be with him for a lifetime......

In a person's life, all the people who can support each other and support each other are only husband and wife, there is lovesickness, embarrassment, and noise in the middle, but when they can go to the end, strong feelings flow quietly in the bottom of their hearts, and each other becomes the most important person.

Even if she has a thousand gold, she can't smile in this life......
