Chapter 226: A Perfect Match
Seeing Zhou Zhi's tea and dinner on this day, he was listless, and his mother Zhou He had already understood Zhou Zhi's thoughts. So at this time, she can also hope that this marriage can be completed.
But what she cares about most is what kind of woman the girl of the Kou family is. If it was too bad, she wouldn't agree.
Zhou He, the mother-in-law, asked anxiously, "The Kou family is here, and the old body knows what they mean, Mr. Fan, you still tell me in detail if you have seen the girl of the Kou family, what kind of woman is she?" ”
Fan Jin secretly glanced at Zhou Zhi, and saw that Zhou Zhi's face was solemn, obviously overly worried, and couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. He had the intention to tease Zhou Zhi at this time, but he also knew that this matter was very important, and it was not trivial, and he should not be joked.
Fan Jin pondered for a moment and said, "The Kou family is a famous family in Tang County, and the family has a big business. However, the Kou family is not like those big families who bully people, their family is wise and kind to others, and has a good reputation in Tang County.
We first scanned the reputation of the Kou family in Tang County, and the people were full of praise and admiration for their family!
The little girl of the Kou family, Kou Peihan, was born in such a family, and she is naturally knowledgeable, virtuous and virtuous, and she is an authentic lady. From the perspective of personality, she doesn't smile or speak, she is gentle and lovely, and she is a rare good woman.
If you talk about appearance, then you can't say it, it's good to be beautiful. The old man is old, so it's hard to say anything.
In a word, if Zhou Zhi can marry Kou Peihan, a little woman from the Kou family, it will be a blessing that Zhou Zhi has cultivated for several generations. ”
When Fan Jin said this, he turned his head to Zhou Zhi and said, "Zhou Zhi boy, you really make the old man envious, hum!" I didn't expect you to be so blessed! ”
Zhou Zhi's face flushed instantly, but he was secretly grateful to Fan Jin from the bottom of his heart. A friend is a friend, and he is trying his best to speak for Pei Han in front of his mother-in-law Zhou He.
Fan Jin had already seen Kou Peihan, but Kou Peihan was dressed as a man at that time, but Fan Jin had only met a few times, and he still admired Kou Peihan very much, so he naturally wanted to speak to Kou Peihan at this time.
Zhou He nodded lightly, and then looked at the "mystery boy" Uncle Wang.
Uncle Wang is from the countryside, and he has never studied, and he has already been dazzled by a trip to Kou's house. When he saw Miss Kou Peihan, he was even more shocked and amazed.
At this time, Uncle Wang stroked his beard slightly, shook his head and said, "This woman should only be in heaven, how can she be in the world!" ”
His words made Fan Jin and Zhou Zhi immediately happy.
A person who has never read a book wants to write such a sentence, which seems to have more weight than what Fan Jin said just now.
My mother-in-law, Zhou He, has never read a book, but what Uncle Wang said just now is easy to understand. She soon understood, and the somewhat pale face slowly revealed some joy.
Without waiting for his mother to ask about him, Zhou Luyun said, "Mother, this Miss Kou Peihan didn't say anything, but she has everything that is good in women." As for the family situation, the Kou family is many times stronger than our Zhou family.
The mother may not know that when her daughter got married last year, the generous gift sent by Tang County was given by Miss Kou Peihan.
The daughter chatted with Miss Kou Peihan for almost an hour this time, and Miss Kou Peihan is so sensible and worthy of being the daughter of a big family. It was just an hour before her daughter fell in love with this Miss Kou family.
Mother, Xiao Zhi can choose such a good woman, it is really a blessing for the Zhou family! In her daughter's opinion, if Xiao Zhi doesn't marry Miss Kou, her daughter will not be happy. ”
I don't know when Zhou Luyun can also speak lotus, and he is very good at talking.
Hearing his sister Zhou Luyun praise Kou Peihan so much, Zhou Zhi was even more excited, it seems that his mother has passed this hurdle, and after all, he and his mother did not have any unhappiness because of their marriage.
Fan Jin reached into his arms, took out a folded piece of red paper from his arms, handed it to Zhou He with both hands, and said, "This time the three of us will go, and we will simply come to Miss Kou's Geng post." ”
The post is written on a red rectangular piece of paper, with a straight book in the center. Although "Geng Ti" and "Eight Characters" are both called Nian Geng, they are slightly different, that is, the Eight Characters of Jia Geng must be used for branch writing, so as to be used for divination, and Geng Ti is to write the place of origin, ranking, etc., as a search for the purpose of searching.
Zhou He said with a smile, "It's okay, set this marriage before Xiaozhi's Dao exam, so that Xiaozhi can concentrate on studying, and the Dao exam can get a good result." ”
She didn't know how to read, so she didn't look at the Geng post, but hid it very carefully. Then taking advantage of the dead of night, he placed Geng Ti in front of the ancestral tablet of the Zhou family, and asked the good luck.
This is like the first part of the wedding.
The main ceremony of the name asking is that the man and woman exchange their official names, year and birthday, so that they can understand each other's origins and measure whether the marriage is a good match.
The process is that the matchmaker asks the woman to come to the man's "Geng post", and the man puts the post on the ancestor's desk. Within three days, if the man's home is safe, the man's post will be sent to the woman's house, and the woman's family will accept it, or ask the astrology, or agree to the marriage.
This matter was done like this, just wait for the three days to expire, Fan Jin will go to Kou's house again, bring Zhou's Geng post, and let the Kou family say goodbye. After that, the Zhou family can go to the Kou family to give a small bridal gift.
It was too late, and Zhou Zhi arranged for Qi Yanwu to send Fan Jin back to Gaochang Town, and Uncle Wang went home by himself.
The Zhou family has been safe and sound for a while, but Zhou Zhi met Yang Jinshan in Wanxian County and injured the four heavenly kings of Jiangyang thief Xie Dingtian. That Xie Dingtian has never come to trouble Zhou Zhi to this day.
Therefore, within three days, the Zhou family did not make any waves, on the contrary, there were often neighbors who came to visit the Zhou family, and the Zhou family kept laughing. Their purpose is very simple, this is to have a good relationship with the Zhou family as soon as possible.
In a blink of an eye, it is the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the Dragon Boat Festival.
In the past, the Zhou family was poor, and festivals like this were basically no different from ordinary days, just eating bran vegetables.
And now the family life is better, and this festival will naturally be a little more exquisite. Zhou He's mother-in-law wrapped the zongzi as early as the day before, and cooked a big pot early in the morning on the fifth day of the new year. Take out some and let Zhou Tie send a few to each of the friendly villagers.
The family ate zongzi in the morning, and the lunch was a flat food filled with pork and leeks, which can be described as a happy one.
Sometimes Zhou Zhi often thinks that in fact, people don't have to fight for fame and fortune in this life, and it is very good to live a peaceful and happy life in this way.
He thought so, but his mind has been very clear these days, and the speed of reading and writing seems to be much faster.
It's no wonder that now he and Kou Peihan of the Kou family are about to get engaged, and people are in good spirits when they are happy.
On the sixth day of the fifth month, Fan Jin took Zhou Zhi's Geng Ti to Kou's house again. After Kou Jiayang investigated, they came to the conclusion that Zhou Zhi and Kou Peihan were a perfect match, which made Zhou Zhi even more happy.
On the eighth day of the fifth month, Zhou Zhi followed Fan into Kou's house and gave a small appointment gift.
