Chapter 252 Marriage Customs
Chapter 252: Marriage Customs
This early in the morning, Zhao Gang, a guy who has never learned music, howling with a thick throat is the greatest torture, and the evil slaves of the surrounding high-ranking families are about to come out to find trouble, but when they see Li Yuxi, the princess of Western Xia with golden branches and jade leaves, and the famous general Dingzhou Commander hugging together, naturally no one dares to find trouble, and no one dares to disturb, but quietly watched the excitement on the side.
When things got to this point, there were naturally no more variables, and Li Yuxi couldn't stand it in front of everyone, so he soon pushed away Zhao Gang's iron arm and ran away.
It is very simple for bold people to make decisions, but Li Yuxi is a little shy when it comes to implementation, and Zhao Gang is even more at a loss. Catch up? Don't catch up?
Seeing Zhao Gang standing there in a daze, one of them pushed Zhao Gang staggered regardless of the others, and signaled to catch up while the iron was hot. There are even bored ones, waiting for Zhao Gang to run away, and shouting that 'raw rice is cooked and ripe' to be guaranteed.
And Zhao Gang's guards took this opportunity to go to Shi Bin's mansion to deliver good news.
Early in the morning, Shi Bin was still lying on the bed and didn't want to get up, but when he heard Xu Feng say that Zhao Gang's guards came in a hurry, he immediately fell asleep and quickly dressed neatly and summoned the guard.
He followed Zhao Gang all the year round and was naturally not afraid of Shi Bin, and made a report with a happy face, saying that Zhao Gang sang love songs and lured Li Yuxi out, and then the two hugged each other.
In Shi Bin's imagination, this is a dangerous move, if Li Yuxi can't pull down her face and pour out a basin of washing water, it will be difficult to do, even if she doesn't complain, it will take a lot of effort, but it is a great thing for people to not only run out but also hug each other.
So he immediately asked, "Tell me about the situation after hugging, the more detailed the better, if you say yes, there will be a big reward!" ”
Shi Bin actually picks the door on weekdays, but he is very generous to those who are helpful, so if he agrees, he will definitely not be stingy with this bit of scattered silver, of course, the guard said it carefully, and also described the expressions of Li Yuxi and Zhao Gang clearly.
Hearing that Zhao Gang actually followed Li Yuxi and ran away, Shi Bin was both surprised and happy, and immediately rewarded the guard with two taels of silver, and without waiting for Xu Feng, who had sent the guard away, to come back, he himself rushed out of the mansion first.
First went to the Li Mansion to find Li Biao and inquire, and then took this smart deliberately to stay and wait for Shi Bin's inner guards to go to Li Yuxi and Zhao Gang together.
As a result, he rode a horse for dozens of miles but didn't see Li Yuxi and Zhao Gang's people, and when he was about to be discouraged, he saw Zhao Gang riding a horse alone and walking lonely.
What's going on?
Horseback riding is understandable, just go out of town and grab one in the post house. But why did Li Yuxi run for dozens of miles and not rest? Even shyness shouldn't be like this, why do you feel that something is wrong with it? I don't plan to think about it too much, Li Yuxi, a high-ranking cavalryman, can't have problems in his own territory, so he first has to get his soulless brother back to the city.
After meeting with Zhao Gang, Shi Bin immediately opened his mouth to ask the reason. Unexpectedly, Zhao Gang shook his head in frustration and said, "Big brother, your kindness brother understands, but this matter is probably hopeless." ”
Hopeless? Hearing this, Shi Bin immediately became angry, and said to Li Biao with angry eyes, "Li Biao, what does Li Yuxi mean by this?" Fool my brother? If you dare to play, I want your party to have no place here! ”
These words scared Li Biao enough, he didn't want an impulsive princess to ruin her current life and ruin her hope of revenge. So his brain sped up, and after a while, he squeezed out a smile and asked Zhao Gang, "Commander Zhao, has my princess rejected your marriage proposal?" If not, then what did it say? ”
"Refusal of a marriage proposal? Not really. But she said she didn't want to be too cheap!
Zhao Gang said that he was not only depressed, but also cried, "Isn't this still disgusted that I am from a low background and unworthy of her?" ”
After hearing this, Li Biao immediately burst out laughing. Everyone was slightly angry when they saw this, but they all understood that Li Biao at this time could never be ridiculed, so they endured it again.
"Commander Zhao, congratulations, my princess is definitely going to marry you, but you misunderstood what she meant."
Not only Zhao Gang couldn't understand these words, but even Shi Bin couldn't understand them, since it was Li Yuxi who claimed that he didn't want to be too low, didn't he dislike Zhao Gang's low background and was not worthy of her? But before she claimed to be her younger brother and sister, which made Shi Bin unable to figure it out anymore, so he could only ask Li Biao for advice.
Naturally, he didn't dare to pretend to be profound in front of Shi Bin, and soon said what Li Yuxi meant, it turned out that there is a proverb among the ethnic minorities in the north called 'If you ask more, you will be expensive, and if you ask less, you will be cheap'. This is just a formality, as long as the woman does not explicitly refuse, it does not affect the outcome.
I see, isn't this just more marriage proposals to ensure the status of the woman after entering the door? It's just that Shi Bin and the others don't know the customs so they misunderstand. It's really a big joke made by ignorance, and everyone naturally doesn't blame Li Biao for his rudeness.
Since asking for more is expensive, Li Yuxi is a princess, so she naturally asks for more, but she can't come up with new methods again and again, so won't she be tired of herself and Jia Ling?
Perhaps understanding Shi Bin's concern, Li Biao immediately spoke to comfort, "Please rest assured, there is no need for more ways to propose, one method is enough, but the gift money at the time of this marriage proposal is indispensable, after all, my master was once a princess..."
With the flat avenue pointed out by Li Biao, Shi Bin immediately felt much more relaxed, isn't it just to use money to pave the road? Zhao Gang is his brother, and Li Yuxi is a collaborator with strategic value, so how can two people be stingy when they get married? Before Li Biao finished speaking, Shi Bin laughed and said, "Do you think I'll be stingy?" Zhao Gang is my brother, and your princess has also helped me a lot, can I be stingy? I believe you know where your princess is hiding now, take what I just said to him, as long as she waits at home for Zhao Gang to keep proposing! ”
brought Zhao Gang, who was constantly complaining, back to his house, and when he saw Zhao Gang, who had obviously fluctuated violently, Jia Ling naturally asked clearly, and after listening to it, she also laughed all the time, and only said, 'I really have to live to learn all the time'.
Then there is a sensitive issue – the dowry. How much is the question. According to Shi Bin's opinion, he has to mention it from Wang San, but it takes some effort to get the iron rooster to agree.
Looking at Shi Bin, who was frowning again, Jia Ling said with a smile, "My senior official, not everything has to be reasonable, this kind of thing is suitable for human feelings." ”
"The question is whether I talk about it or not?"
"Since he doesn't talk about it, it's better to do it..." As she spoke, Jia Ling laughed meaningfully.
understands what Jia Ling means, she is prepared to be evil, and if she can't do it, she will use whichever line of stealing and abduction she is. On closer inspection, I think she's right. If Wang San really refused, he would be angry, even if Jia Lingming robbed it, no one would feel that it was inappropriate, and even think that her sister-in-law was righteous.
After thinking about these things clearly, the two decided to spend 50,000 taels of silver to marry Li Yuxi, and the dowry was sent in five times. Zhao Gang himself contributed 10,000 taels, Shi Bin and his wife contributed 15,000 taels, and the rest of the brothers contributed 15,000 taels. 10,000 yuan should also be allocated from the public funds to make wedding drinks and return favors.
The matter was discussed, the preparations were done, and Jia Ling, a powerful woman, went to Wang San's to 'collect debts' in person. She is a debt collector and is full of confidence in this mission, but she also thinks that it will be a little troublesome, after all, Wang San is also a powerful character.
Wang San, who saw Jia Ling, said with a smile, "I heard from my subordinates that Zhao Gang went to the gate of Princess Yuxi to sing this morning, and then the two hugged each other, right, sister-in-law?" It seems that the marriage is a certainty, so the younger brother made a suggestion to allocate 10,000 taels of silver from our public funds as a dowry, what do you think of the sister-in-law? ”
Once you enter the door, you're ready to swing
opened the formation to fight with Wang San, but unexpectedly, it made her punch empty. But the goal has been achieved, Jia Ling naturally didn't say more, and naturally agreed with a smile, but secretly sighed that Wang San was too smart.
After the dowry is handled, it is naturally a ceremony.
I made a big joke because I didn't know the party's marriage customs, but fortunately, only a few close people saw it, and I couldn't stand it. But it reminded Shi Bin and others that they had to pay careful attention to this, and if they made similar jokes at the wedding ceremony, it would be a shame.
So in the days when he proposed and gave the dowry, Shi Bin took Zhao Gang to listen to the 'Party Marriage Customs' class, and gave Li Biao, the teacher, a tuition fee of 100 taels of silver.
'Unmarried with the same surname' and 'polygamy if you have the ability' are the same as the Song people, so 'taking step-mothers and uncles, sisters-in-law, and children's wives' is more primitive. Just as the two of them were drowsy when they listened, Shi Bin, who was a little energetic, heard the word 'breaking the sheep's neck' in a daze.
For Shi Bin, this is incredible, naturally he immediately came to the spirit, how can he break if there are not many bones in the sheep's neck?
"Li Biao, what do you mean by breaking a sheep's neck? How can this sheep's neck be broken? How can your party have such a strange ceremony? ”
Hearing Shi Bin's question, Li Biao replied with some embarrassment, "Lord Qiqi, this is not the marriage custom of my party, but Mongolian." ”
"Yuanren? So what are you going to do with this wedding? Have you forgotten your ancestors? Shi Bin roared violently.
"My lord is angry, this is what my princess deliberately added." Li Biao was already trembling when he spoke at this time, and he didn't dare to tremble slightly.
"Your princess? She hates the Yuan people to the bone, why does the marriage customs add the Yuan people? Make it clear to me! ”
Being able to explain himself, Li Biao was naturally relieved, calmed down and said carefully, "My princess just hates Yuan and wants to do this." The adults didn't know that there was actually a thick stick or even an iron rod inside the neck of the sheep, and the Yuan people used this to test the groom's bravery. And my princess will definitely use this to test Lord Zhao and convince everyone. ”
There are still so many ways, if Shi Bin doesn't have enough strength to break it, won't it become a big joke again? This kind of thing must not happen.
Now that he understood, Shi Bin gave Li Biao another twenty taels of silver as a special reward in order to express his gratitude, after all, the ceremony is not difficult to do, but the test is sad. With Li Yuxi's temperament, he will definitely put an iron rod to show his husband's bravery.
Seeing that Zhao Gang was still in a daze and didn't know that the matter was urgent, he kicked him to the ground and shouted, "Get up quickly, give me exercise!" ”
The word 'exercise' is the biggest joke in Zhao Gang's heart, although he is not called innate divine power, but his strength is not small, he is definitely the first in the army, of course, he doesn't care about Shi Bin's words. If Shi Bin wasn't the big brother, he would have to make fun of him.
"Do you know the test that Li Yuxi gave you in two days?"
"Isn't it just a dress and a master of ceremonies?"
"What about breaking a thick iron rod for me?" Shi Bin sneered.
What does marriage have to do with breaking iron rods? Zhao Gang couldn't understand. Naturally, he asked, only to get an answer and continue to rest.
"If you keep breaking that hardcore, you won't be able to marry Li Yuxi!"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Gang was immediately shocked. He still knew that he had a few pounds and a few taels, and although he was strong, it was difficult to break the iron rod with a thick bowl mouth. Thinking of this, he naturally begged Shi Bin.
"What's the use of asking me? I have to beg Li Yuxi. She's willing to follow you, but you also have to meet some of her conditions, right? I'm the big brother, but I can't be too domineering. ”
understood that Shi Bin was deliberately watching from the wall, but Zhao Gang was happy, after all, he didn't want to trouble others in everything, especially his own marriage. (https:)
