In the past, when the Zhou family was poor and Zhou Zhi had not been admitted to the Tongsheng examination, the statement of his mother Zhou He was completely different from now. At that time, Zhou He just hoped that Zhou Zhi could marry a virtuous and honest peasant girl.

But now it's different, time has passed, the Zhou family and Zhou Zhi have changed dramatically, and Zhou He's will be selective about his future son and daughter-in-law, and it is reasonable to think about it repeatedly.

But Kou Peihan is her beloved woman, she doesn't marry herself, and she doesn't care what kind of family she is, and she doesn't marry her. There is no need to hesitate in this matter, let alone think about it.

The marriage match in this era pays attention to the life of a parent and the words of a matchmaker. Although Zhou Zhi disagrees with this custom very much, he still has to make it clear to his mother and do her job well.

After thinking about it like this, Zhou Zhi said, "Mother, the Kou family is a famous family in Tang County, and a small household like our Zhou family is definitely our Zhou family!" Besides, Kou Peihansheng is handsome and knowledgeable, and his son can marry such a girl, which is a blessing that his son has cultivated in several lifetimes, and it is better not to consider it. ”

Although Zhou Zhi was persuasive, Zhou He could hear that Zhou Zhi had already been deeply affectionate to the girl of the Kou family, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

Fortunately, Zhou Luyun interjected beside him and said, "Mother, what Xiao Zhi said just now is right, the Kou family is a thousand households, people like us are like climbing people, so don't think about it." ”

Zhou He has long regarded Zhou Zhi as the hope of the Zhou family's future and as a very remarkable person. Her vision naturally rose a lot, but Zhou Luyun and Zhou Zhi's sister and brother both said this, and Zhou He couldn't say anything more.

But after being silent for a while, she still said uneasily, "Since your brothers and sisters say so, let's choose an auspicious day to go to the Kou family to propose." But this time you have to go with Xiaoyun and take care of your mother, if the woman of the Kou family is really as Xiaozhi said, our Zhou family will naturally set this family matter.

If the Kou family woman is an arrogant and unreasonable woman, then this family affair will not be agreed to by the mother. ”

In this family, in the past, as long as Zhou Zhi said almost everything, Zhou He would obey. She seems to regard Zhou Zhi as the pillar of the Zhou family and a family member. But for some reason, in the matter of Zhou Zhi's wife, Zhou He's attitude became extremely resolute, which made Zhou Zhi feel a little upset in his heart.

If Pei Han is arrogant and unreasonable, his mother will not agree to this matter. Kou Peihan is definitely reasonable and sophisticated. But she was born in such a family that her father loved and her mother cherished, and she was born in such a big family, as a woman like a pearl in the palm of her parents, she was naturally arrogant and domineering.

But if my sister Zhou Luyun discovers Kou Peihan's arrogant and domineering character, will her marriage with Kou Peihan fall through?

Absolutely not!

Alas! I didn't expect this incident to have such twists and turns,

Zhou Zhi narrowed his starry eyes slightly, and secretly made up his mind that no matter what, he would marry Kou Peihan after showing off his talent in the exam, even if it made his mother unhappy and went against his mother's wishes.

In a word, although you can't change this feudal marriage custom by your own strength, you still have to make your own decisions about your own affairs, especially in marriage, you must pursue your own freedom.

The three of them briefly summed it up, according to Zhou Zhi's thoughts, the matter of proposing marriage should be sooner rather than later, so Zhou Luyun immediately set off to go back to Gaochang Town to find Huang Daxian in the town and ask him to choose an auspicious day to go to Kou's house to propose marriage.

Speaking of Wong Tai Sin in Gaochang Town, he is in his fifties, divination, fortune-telling, asking the sun to look at the house, and even watching celestial phenomena. It is very famous in the area of Gaochang Town. There are many people who ask him for fortune telling.

For this kind of feudal superstition, Zhou Zhi naturally didn't believe it at all, and even said that he was a little disgusted. But since it was reborn in this feudal Ming era, sometimes it is necessary to follow the customs and rules, and not to behave too differently.

Fortunately, after closing his eyes and making a miraculous calculation, Wong Tai Sin said that the second day of the fifth month of May is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the Zhou family can go to the Kou family to propose marriage.

In ancient times, weddings were very cumbersome, with asking for names, making alliances, accepting appointments, paying coins, inviting dates, and greeting in person, which is the so-called six ceremonies. At this time, although the marriage customs were simplified, there were also four links: asking for names, making alliances, fixing appointments, and welcoming in person, each of which was very valued.

Now the Zhou family said that going to the Kou family to propose relatives is not the first link. The Zhou family wants to invite a matchmaker to go to the Kou family to say goodbye, see what the Kou family means, if the Kou family is interested, you can proceed to the first link: asking for a name.

Although Zhou Zhi and Kou Peihan can be said to have made a private decision for life, they also need a matchmaker to go to Kou's house to propose marriage at this time.

As for who to find to be a matchmaker, Zhou Zhi didn't want to participate in the opinion, but this matter could be answered by his mother. Anyway, there is my sister Zhou Luyun to follow to see, and I can ask Zhou Luyun when my mother comes back.

In fact, there are two matchmakers in Baiyue Village, and those two matchmakers have a good mouth, and they can say that the black is white and the dead are alive. There are not a few people who beg them to be matchmakers in the four miles and eight towns of Baiyue Village.

But the mother-in-law Zhou He didn't want them to go. In her mind, the two matchmakers are from the countryside after all, although they have said a lot of matchmakers, but they are all poor families, small families, and big families like the Kou family, but they have never said anything like this.

In Zhou He's opinion, what he was afraid of was that they would go, and the Kou family would immediately look down on the Zhou family.

Zhou He has lived in Baiyue Village for a long time, and he knows very few people, and there are almost no people who have some status and can speak well.

She immediately thought of the "mystery boy" Uncle Wang.

Although Uncle Wang is not usually upright, he always looks like an old naughty boy with a smile. But when it comes to getting down to business, it is very measured and orderly.

In Baiyue Village, in addition to the people of the Yue family and the Chen family, Uncle Wang can be regarded as a well-informed one.

However, Uncle Wang has never studied after all, and he can only be used as a foil for things like going to the famous Kou family to propose marriage. You also need to find someone who can speak well and is knowledgeable. Zhou He seemed to have become a lot smarter at this time, and immediately thought of Zhou Zhi's friend Fan Jin.

Turning his head to explain to Zhou Zhi, Zhou Zhi nodded slightly.

Fan Jin is a talent and a person who has seen the world. And some time ago, in Wanxian County, although Fan Jin didn't talk about his relationship with Kou Peihan, Zhou Zhi believed that he had already seen Kou Peihan's identity as his daughter and had already seen his thoughts. With him going to the Kou family to propose, there will never be anything wrong with him.

Because the relationship between Zhou Zhi and Fan Jin had long been irreversible, Zhou He immediately asked Qi Yanwu to invite Fan Jin to Gaochang Town and explained the meaning.

Although Fan Jin is in his fifties, he has never been a matchmaker or anything like that, he couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and said, "Since it is to go to the Kou family to propose marriage, the old man naturally agrees, in fact, it is the old man who goes to the Kou family to propose marriage!" Brother Zhou Zhixian, is what the old man said right? ”
