In the early morning of the next day, the Li family father and son had already gotten up early to prepare. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Generally speaking, the six ceremonies of marriage customs are: Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and greeting in person.

Nacai is the meaning of choosing a mate and proposing a marriage. It is also known as "talking about matchmaking".

Asking for a name is to "ask for eight characters". Only when men and women are compatible, can they be married. Asking the name also includes asking who gave birth to the girl, whether she was born or adopted, whether she was born in the main room or in the steproom. Marriage pays attention to the right family, and it is very important to ask about the relationship between the husband and wife.

Najib refers to proposing. Generally speaking, a man and a woman are in harmony and have a good omen, and they are considered to be married. The man told the woman and called her Najib.

And the marriage of Li Yang's two families has already been decided. Although it's just a verbal family affair, it doesn't need to be so troublesome.

Today's door-to-door is mainly to collect levies. The so-called recruitment, that is, the man takes his parents to the woman's house, and the two parents meet and give a bride price. For the first steps, you only need to invite a matchmaker, and everything will be simple.

Li Xiuwen doesn't know much about this, the bride price and the matchmaker were all last night, Li Hongshen instructed the money manager to handle it early this morning.

has been a human being for two lives, and if he doesn't marry a daughter-in-law, Li Xiuwen feels that he will live in vain. Although he couldn't help much, he excitedly gave up his morning exercise and wandered around the house, not knowing what he should do.

Everyone's first time will be tense and unforgettable. Uh, don't get me wrong, this is Li Xiuwen's first time getting married, so it's inevitable that he will be a little nervous and a little overwhelmed.

With all the bride price and matchmaker, Li Xiuwen followed his father out of Kaifeng City and rushed to the Yang family in Weishi County.

As early as yesterday, Yang Yuxuan told his father about it. Therefore, the Yang family also got up early in the morning and made preparations to welcome the arrival of the Li family's father and son.

In Yang Yuxuan's boudoir. Her mother, Lin Jingyun, is teaching her the "enlightenment experience".

Nowadays, young people are rich in enlightenment materials, but not at that time. Especially in the daughter's house, the door is not out of the door, living in the backyard of the house, and even the male servants in the family cannot be touched at will.

Of course, Li Xiuwen didn't think about it so much, anyway, when it was time to take advantage, he would never take advantage of it.

There are cheap and don't take advantage of the bastard!

Therefore, when a daughter gets married, the mother usually gives her some enlightenment education. Although it was only a sign today, Lin Jingyun felt that it was not a bad thing to teach her daughter earlier.

Lin Jingyun was holding a few pictures of the Spring Palace in her hand, explaining to Yang Yuxuan in a low voice. Yang Yuxuan was so ashamed that her face was red, but she listened very curiously.

In fact, the Yang family has a lot of books, and naturally there are some books such as the art of the house. In her spare time, Yang Yuxuan reads some books. She had stumbled upon such books and had learned a little about it. It's just that she hasn't experienced it herself after all, and she is also ignorant about it.

Women in this period marry early, and at the age of 15, they are considered adults and can marry. Like Yang Yuxuan, who has not yet married at this age, it can be regarded as a late marriage. She is just 20 years old this year, and if she doesn't marry again, the government will intervene.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, stipulated that the legal age of marriage was 16 years old for men and 14 years old for women. And in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, although it was not too strict. But the government still has specific requirements. If a woman reaches the age of fifteen and is not yet married, she has to pay an additional tax, which increases year after year. And when it comes to women over 20 years old, the yamen will find three aunts and six mothers-in-law to forcibly marry them and marry them off.

Lin Jingyun married early, and she looks like she is in her thirties, and now her charm is still there. It is conceivable that when she was young, she must have been a rare beauty. The eyebrows and eyes of their mother and daughter are very similar, if she is a few years younger, she is more like Yang Yuxuan's sister.

"Hey, I said Yuxuan, my mother has been telling you for a long time, do you understand?" Lin Jingyun asked.

Yang Yuxuan nodded, shook his head again, and looked dazed. It seems that I have understood, but I don't seem to have understood it yet.

"You kid......"

Lin Jingyun was helpless, and when she wanted to continue teaching her, there was a knock at the door. Then I heard the voice of the maid Cui'er: "Madam, the master of the Li family is almost here." ”

"So soon?"

When Lin Jingyun heard this, she had to tell Yang Yuxuan to take a good look at herself and study, so she went out to meet the Li family father and son.

After Lin Jingyun left, Cui'er teased: "Miss, but have you learned?" ”

Seeing Cui'er's evil smile, Yang Yuxuan said angrily: "you, even you little girl, dare to come and make fun of me?" ”

"Miss, don't worry, even if you can't, my uncle will teach you." After Cui'er finished speaking, she smiled and ran away.

Yang Yuxuan let her say it again with a burst of shame, and said in her heart: "That bad guy...... I really don't know where he learned this? ”

The gate of the Yang family.

"Brother Li, it's been a long time. Your demeanor is still the same as it was back then! This is the clumsy thorn. ”

Yang Wenan and his wife greeted him in person, and after seeing Li Hongshen's father and son, Yang Wenan smiled and complimented, and then introduced his wife to Li Hongshen. Immediately, Lin Jingyun also stepped forward and saluted Li Hongshen.

Now in Kaifeng Mansion, the prestige of the Li family can be said to be in full swing. In just one month, Li Xiuwen has become famous in Kaifeng. Not only has a relationship with several adults in the palace, but also is a guest in the palace. Yang Wenan felt guilty about the Li family, so he treated Li Hongshen very politely.

People are in good spirits when they are happy, and they are talking about Li Hongshen. The son has a good life, and even with him there is light on his face, and he seems to be much more energetic. He had eaten Yang Wen'an's closed-door soup, and he still had some pimples in his heart, but now that he saw that the other party was so polite, he also let go of the grievances in his heart.

Brother Yang laughed. How dare Mr. and Mrs. Lao Xian personally greet him? This is the dog. ”

Li Hongshen agreed, and also introduced his son to them. Li Xiuwen immediately stepped forward and saluted.

Yang Wenan had already seen Li Xiuwen, and he was also very satisfied with this prospective son-in-law, so he naturally praised it again.

After greeting them at the door, Yang Wenan invited them to the house. Many of the bride prices brought by the Li family were also brought in by the subordinates.

Originally, today was just a levy, and the man had to go back to choose the day of the wedding, and then notify the woman for the invitation. After choosing a good date, he only waited for the wedding day, and Li Xiuwen could come to greet him in person.

This matter is not only Li Xiuwen is anxious, but Yang Wenan and his wife are also anxious. This daughter is old, and if she doesn't marry again, she will become an "old girl". Therefore, under the consistent attitude of the two families, everything is as simple as possible.

Regarding this marriage, the two parents have no objections. So they discussed in the hall and chose a good day in the near future to let Li Xiuwen and Yang Yuxuan get married.

In this kind of matter, Li Xiuwen couldn't interject, just sat quietly and listened.

After choosing a date, Li Xiuwen and the others said goodbye and left.

Yang Yuankui happily ran to his sister's boudoir and said to Yang Yuxuan: "Sister, Brother Xiuwen and Uncle Li are gone. ”

After Yang Yuxuan nodded in response, he then asked, "Sister, are you going to marry Brother Xiuwen?" ”

"Well, yes."

Yang Yuxuan's face was slightly red, and she touched his head with a smile.

"That'...... Am I going to call him brother-in-law in the future? ”

Yang Yuankui's eyes widened with curiosity and continued to ask. He's still young, and he's just ignorant of these things. He also has a good impression of Li Xiuwen. It's just that he suddenly has to change his name, and he's still a little unaccustomed to it.

"You kid, don't bother your sister, hurry up and go to school."

Lin Jingyun's voice came from the door. Yang Yuankui heard his mother's reprimand, stuck out his tongue and ran away

After driving away her son, Lin Jingyun entered the house and sat down, and started her enlightenment education for her daughter again.
