Chapter 360: Asking for Marriage
"Forget it! Brother Xian go back and prepare, the six rites of Zhang Gong and the Brotherhood will handle it for you. Zhou Yu shook his head with a wry smile.
The two couldn't talk anymore, so they had to look at each other speechlessly, and then separated, Zhou Yu went back to his life, and Situ Changfeng prepared to go to see his future father-in-law.
The first time he came to the door, he naturally needed to prepare gifts, and if the system didn't need it, it would be a trouble, so Situ Changfeng thought for half an hour before making up his mind.
Carefully prepared, the second Situ Changfeng changed into a Confucian shirt distributed by the system, holding a paper fan, the white paper is the latest product in Jiangdong, more white, the texture is more delicate, the paper fan is written on one side of Situ's two elegant seal characters, and on the other side is written a huge Wu character.
Situ represents himself, Wu is because this is Wu Land, and together it is Wu Di Situ Changfeng.
With two retinues and two carts of gifts, he went to Qiao's mansion.
These ordinary gifts were sent by Sun Ce, just so that he didn't have to worry about it, the best silk, sugar, and white paper not only seemed precious and scarce, but also made by Situ Changfeng, as long as Qiao Xuan used it, he would know it as soon as he inquired, and he would naturally give him a share.
Qiao Fu obviously also knew that Situ Changfeng came to the door today, the middle door was opened, and the ground was slightly wet, which was sprinkling water and clearing the way, indicating that the owner paid attention.
"After the end of school, I entered Situ Changfeng, and I came to visit Qiao Gong, please inform!" Situ Chang bowed his hand politely.
Today, Situ Changfeng is in a white Confucian shirt, holding a folding fan, although the folding fan is closed, but there is a round jade pendant pendant, coupled with his tall figure, like jade skin, it looks extremely elegant, no one would have thought that he would be a military general.
People passing by nearby were curious about him, and some people had already asked who it was, and the two girls who passed by even peeked and blushed.
"It turned out to be Situ Gongzi, the master has been waiting for a long time, please come in quickly!" Of course, the new housekeeper of Qiao's Mansion knew that it was the future uncle who came, so he hurriedly bent down with a smile and invited him, and asked his subordinates to accept the gift.
"Changfeng has seen Qiao Gong!" Following the housekeeper to the lobby, Situ Changfeng stepped forward to salute.
"Virtuous nephew, please take a seat." Qiao Xuan has been looking at Situ Changfeng since he came in, and he felt very satisfied when he saw him not wearing a military uniform for the first time. Seeing that he was polite and courteous, and his demeanor was neither humble nor arrogant, he couldn't help but feel more satisfied, and his old face was full of smiles, wrinkles, showing the master's mood.
"I've seen all the princes!" There were a few Jiangdong ministers sitting next to them, who came to testify. Generally, the main family invites guests to come, indicating that the main family has found a good son-in-law, so that it can be spread through the mouth of others.
It's just that the Qiao family just arrived in Jiangdong, so it was Sun Ce who sent a post and invited a few Wenchen, of course, Wenchen is also arrogant, and Qiao Xuan is quite famous, so all nine of them arrived, which can be regarded as giving enough face.
Situ Changfeng first saluted the people next to him, and everyone knew that they were not the protagonists, so they just smiled and nodded, expressing welcome.
"Come uninvited, and please forgive Gong Qiao, a little courtesy is not a respect." Situ Changfeng continued to say modestly.
Although everyone knows what is going on, the process and etiquette are still essential.
"Situ Gongzi is polite, you came to the house, which really made the cold house shine." Qiao Xuan smiled and returned the gift, and asked his subordinates to accept the gift.
According to the rules, the housekeeper placed the gifts on one side for everyone to see.
At the same time, the housekeeper smiled and sang according to the gift list: "Situ Gongzi gave a gift of 100 horses of Shu brocade, 60 catties of sugar, 800 pieces of high-quality white paper, two mountain snow lotus pills, and three folding fans made by himself." ”
With the singing, the Shu brocade pair is placed in the back, because this is the lowest price of all the items.
The white sugar was packed in a box made of high-quality fir wood, Qiao Xuan didn't know, but everyone in Jiangdong was staring at it with envy, because Sun Ce sent some according to his status every month.
As for the blank paper, it is even better, after all, the office is provided by the Wuhou Mansion, and the home use, saving a little is basically in the past. In addition, the paper production is larger, and there are fewer people who use it, so that no one is jealous, but some envy Qiao Xuan can squander it without scruples.
A meter of white paper, although Qiao Xuan didn't know its preciousness, he also knew that it was a good thing, and he immediately felt very embarrassed and satisfied.
Although the folding fan is elegant, it is not valuable, it can only be Situ Changfeng's heart, two snow lotus pills, can detoxify and nourish the skin, this is a good thing, and it is also a gift prepared by Situ Changfeng for his future wife and aunt.
"The virtuous nephew gave such a valuable gift, and the old man deserved it." Qiao Xuan began to pretend to excuse himself.
"My nephew heard that Ling is patriotic, gentle and virtuous, and he is in the boudoir, so he specially came to ask for marriage, so a little courtesy, uncle please accept it!" Situ Changfeng stood out in front of everyone.
"When the man is married, the woman should be married, the virtuous nephew is a talent, and the woman is a good match, and the old man accepted the gift." Qiao Xuan smiled and agreed loudly, for fear that someone would not hear clearly.
"Congratulations to Gong Qiao for finding a good son-in-law!" Seeing that the matter was decided, everyone congratulated one after another.
Then, according to the usual practice, the national situation naturally began to eat and drink. During the banquet, Situ Changfeng was also subject to various considerations, but fortunately, he had read a lot of books, coupled with a wide range of knowledge, and it was not false to him, to literature and geography, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and his performance was even more eye-catching.
At the strong request of the guests, Situ Changfeng presented a pair of calligraphy and paintings, which shocked everyone with his poems.
At the same time, Qiao Xuan knew that this new son-in-law was really powerful, not harshly touted by others.
If you don't have a good hand, let everyone ask for it, it is a series of nine good poems, which also makes people applaud, and the people who are happy to get it smile and smile, and the guests and hosts are happy and happy for a while.
In the backyard of Qiao's house, Da Qiao was looking forward to the open door.
"It's coming!" Qiao stood up and smiled at her sister.
"Eldest sister, second sister!" A maid ran into the room, gasping slightly.
"How's it going?" Joe asked, staring wide-eyed.
"Second sister, the matter has been decided, the lord has promised the uncle's proposal, just now the uncle wrote nine poems in a row, and now the outside is tasting, the lord is very happy, or it won't be long before the eldest sister will be happy." Ring twitter introduced.
"What poems were written?" Joe asked curiously.
"Second sister, you are a difficult slave, the slave doesn't know a big word, and she remembers so much there." Ring bowed his head with low self-esteem.
"Oops! It's stupid, you can always listen if you can't read, right? Joe said with a slight slap of his hand.
"Qian'er, don't blame the ring." Da Qiao's cheeks were flushed, but his eyes flowed, and he seemed to be in a happy mood but not calm.
