In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, a very great person was born on the land of the Central Plains, and his name was Ji Dan.

Ji Dan is not an egg.

Eggs are meant to be eaten, nourishing the body and filling the stomach.

Ji Dan is a personal name, and a very great personal name.

His greatness lies in the fact that he developed a whole set of etiquette for Chinese society, prescribing people's daily behavior and the daily practice of many things.

According to the "Rites", there are 17 ceremonies at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, including the crown ceremony, wedding, meeting ceremony, township drinking ceremony, township shooting ceremony, dowry ceremony, pilgrimage ceremony, funeral ceremony, sacrificial ceremony, murder ceremony, military ceremony (march, march), guest ceremony, etc.

There are detailed regulations on weddings in the "Rites", and the whole set of ceremonies is combined into the "Six Rites", which together with the Three Books (i.e., the Letter of Appointment, the Book of Rites and the Book of Greeting) are collectively called the "Three Books and Six Rites". Since then, the six-ceremony wedding system has been passed down as a template for traditional Chinese weddings, and most of the marriage systems of later dynasties have been changed on this basis.

The six rites refer to Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and greetings. Nacai is to propose, ask the name of the woman who asks for advice (the same surname is not married), Najib is suitable for divination and birthday, Naji is to pay the bride price, the date of the invitation is to determine the date of the wedding, and the kiss is to welcome the bride.

Look, how complicated the procedure is.

These two children, who don't understand anything, came to propose to other people's fathers, you, you, are you joking?

When Gong Yu said this, he was a little embarrassed to say that Ying Kai was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Ying Kai, thank you Gong Yu for reminding me, I will go back to Inuqiu to beg my grandmother and father to come to the country of Yu to propose marriage." ”

Yes?

Why is this kid so dead-eyed?

Neither Duke Yu nor Mrs. Jun would have thought that this child was not only abrupt and direct, but also dead-eyed. He just reminded him, but he didn't expect people to take it seriously.

I was stunned and didn't know what to do.

Ying Kai is an older young man in the Western Zhou Dynasty, although it is the first time for him to propose marriage, he is at a loss, but people have courage and courage!

Nothing, let me tell you what I think. And this kid not only reacted quickly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was ready to go out without saying a word.

Why doesn't this kid have any patience at all?

He knew that the words of Duke Yu and Mrs. Jun were just words of prevarication, and at this time, Ying Kai, who was eager to propose marriage, was taken seriously.

Looking at the back of Ying Kai happily walking out of the palace, Duke Yu shook his head gently, and then walked towards the palace with Mrs. Jun.

Gong Yu and Mrs. Jun, who returned to the dormitory, couldn't sleep at all, their daughter was talented and beautiful, could a stunned young man like Yingkai not be tempted when he saw it?

"Hey---" Gong Yu sighed, "what can I do?" ”

For a long time, although Gong Yu has praised Yingkai, it does not mean that people are willing to marry their princess to you Qin Ren.

"I told you a long time ago, find a good family for Ruoxi as soon as possible, but you just don't agree, saying that your daughter is still young, and it's not too late to wait a few more years. Look, look, can we wait any longer? Even if he wasn't snatched away by Rong Di, he was taken by a barbarian Qin man from Inuqiu. I see how you clean up? Mrs. Jun complained.

"And what do you think I'm going to do?" Yu Gong said impatiently.

"What else can I do? Didn't Shen Hou send someone to propose to my daughter a few days ago? I think Prince Shen is okay, but you just don't agree. said that the prince of the family is too frivolous, and I am afraid that it will not be good for Ruoxi in the future. It's okay now, the prince of the Shen Kingdom can't do it, but the wild boy of the Qin people in the west can't do it? Mrs. Jun said angrily to Gong Yu.

"What are you talking about, where did I promise to marry my daughter to the Qin people?" Gong Yu said angrily, "What kind of place is Dog Hill, an absolutely barren land, surrounded by a bunch of barbaric Rongdi people. Ruoxi marrying into Inuqiu is equivalent to a sheep falling into the mouth of a tiger, can I harm my own daughter? ”

This is the voice of Gong Yu, although he admires such a young talent as Yingkai, but appreciation is appreciation, appreciation definitely does not mean that people are willing to marry their daughter to you.

Besides, what is the identity of someone's daughter, that is the absolute daughter of the kingdom, the only pearl in the palm of the prince, if you want to marry, you must marry the prince of any country among the princes of Jinai, and become a princess, and when the old monarch dies, she will naturally become the lady of the Guanzhong country.

The princes of Jinnai, don't understand, in the Western Zhou Dynasty, the princes of the world were divided into two categories and five levels.

The two categories are the Kinai princes and the Kinai princes.

The so-called princes of Jinai refer to the princes around the capital of the Zhou royal family, such as the kingdom of Yu, Shen, Sanguo, Yaguo, Jingguo, Rongguo and so on.

Relative to the Guanzhong states, the princes outside the Guanzhong are called the princes outside the Guanzhong, such as the Jin State, the Chu State, the Qi State, the Song State, etc.

Among these princes, there are also ranks, which are divided into five levels, namely: duke, marquis, uncle, son, male and so on.

The Kingdom of Yu is located near the capital of the Zhou royal family, and he is also the highest-ranking duke among the princes.

The daughter of the family, that is also the most noble among all the princesses of the princes in the world, the prince of the general princely state, people may not look down on it.

In Mrs. Qiu's opinion, Princess Ruoxi's husband must be closer to her parents, so that she can come and go often in the future.

This is equivalent to placing the object of choice among the princes of Jinnai, and looking for a husband for Princess Ruoxi among the princes of these countries.

The conditions are clearly there.

The first is the princes of Jinai, in fact, they have to be princes, and the third is needless to say, they have to be handsome.

It's too ugly, not to mention the impact on the exhibition, and it doesn't match when standing together!

Look at Yingkai again, you can't catch up!

If you want a place without a place, if you want an identity without an identity, you can only reluctantly make it difficult to look.

No matter how good you are at Yingkai, it would be very good to be the best doctor of Xitui, after all, the Qin people at this time had not yet founded the country, which means that no matter how hard you Yingkai tried, you would not be able to be the monarch, as long as Yingkai could not be the monarch, then there would be no way to give Princess Ruoxi the title of Mrs. Jun.

"Hey--, I knew that today, I might as well agree to Shen Guo's marriage proposal!" Now Yu Gong really feels that it was a mistake and an absolute mistake that he did not marry his daughter to Prince Shen Guo in the first place.

You must know that your daughter is already sixteen years old, and she should have promised to marry someone a long time ago.

"Husband, my daughter has a good choice." Seeing that Gong Yu had already regretted it a little, Mrs. Jun immediately put forward her own thoughts.

"You say."

"I heard that Zhong Geng, the crown prince of Cheng Guo, is not young this year, and he has not married any country. Besides, Uncle Cheng's father is an official in the same dynasty as you, if Ruoxi of my family can marry the prince of Cheng Guo, not only can he get rid of the Qin wild boy in front of him, but also increase your power in the court, isn't it beautiful? ”

Well?

Kill two birds with one stone.

After listening to Mrs. Jun's words, Gong Yu was silent, he knew and understood Uncle Cheng's father. After Yin Jifu, Cheng Boxiu's father served as the royal family's Sima, in charge of the Zhou royal family's army, and he was also a powerful figure in the court. And his crown prince Zhong Geng is of good character, and there seems to be nothing to be picky about.

If he can marry Cheng Boxiu's father's family, it should be a great thing for Gong Yu.

"You're right, Uncle Cheng's father's prince Zhong Geng is handsome, and he is also upright, which is really good, but I don't know very much about whether people are already married, in case someone has a marriage, wouldn't it be a shame for us to take the initiative to ask others?"

"That's right, we're girls after all, and we can't be too proactive in this matter. If the falling flowers are ruthless and intentional, Ruoxi will be hurt. Mrs. Jun knew that although she was the prince of Cheng Boxiu's father's family, if the other party did not take the initiative to propose to her, she could not be too active as a woman.

This matter is so brain-consuming, the husband and wife thought about it all night, but they didn't come up with a good solution. Take a hundred plating and read the latest chapter of "Pre-Qin's Starry Sky Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
