When the decree of marriage was issued, Cheng Yanjin was busy wiping the wooden armor he had just received from Lin Sen at home.

He reported eight sets of iron birch plate armor, and now they are all in Li Shimin's royal treasury. Of the two sets he withheld, one set was used by him for experiments.

Indeed, as Lin Sen said, ordinary bows and crossbows and knives and guns basically have nothing to do with this thing, that is, relying on heavy weapons and blunt weapons such as sledgehammers can better destroy this thing and cause real damage to the people who wear him.

Of course, fire attack is also possible, but due to the surface hardness of this thing, it is difficult for ordinary rockets to attach to it, and it can really hurt its flames, and you can burn you even if you wear it into an iron can.

To sum up, the defensive effect and wearing experience of this thing are much better than the precious Mingguang armor that he originally loved, so he is not very happy to wear Mingguang armor to go out now, unless it is some occasion that must be solemn and solemn.

It made other generals think that the goods of this sao bag have changed, and they began to play low-key, and they came out wearing a dull armor every day, but they didn't know that this product was actually secretly refreshing.

And this wooden knife is much sharper than the hundred steel knives, even if it is against the treasure knives in his hand, it has always had the upper hand, and often knocks those original treasure knives out one by one, against ordinary steel knives, it can be said that it is like sharpening iron like mud, so he has recently changed the saber.

Of course, this wooden armor is also a little inconvenient in the north, that is, in order to prevent them from cracking due to the change of humidity, it is necessary to get some tung oil from time to time to maintain it. However, if you take into account the difficulty of maintaining the 100-steel knife, this amount of work is also negligible.

With so many advantages, and the fact that he was privately paid tribute to him by his future son-in-law, it can be regarded as a unique good thing, and he is much more comfortable to use it.

After hearing the content of the holy decree, he didn't have much to resist except that Lin Sen, this kid, actually invited the emperor to be the matchmaker, and happily accepted the holy decree, after all, the girl is not small, and this face is enough, the son-in-law is still set by himself, there is nothing dissatisfied, he still believes in his own vision.

In fact, the last time Lin Sen mentioned this to him, he was already mentally prepared, but he didn't expect Lin Sen to get the Lord of Cloud Rider so quickly, and then he had this determination to make up his mind.

When Cheng Yanjin told the whole family the news, Cheng Huaiyu, as the person concerned, naturally couldn't help but be overjoyed, although there was a lot of shyness on her face, but she couldn't hide her joy, and then she was pulled back to the house by her mother to lecture, and what she told was probably some women's topics, and maybe she had already begun to teach her the secrets of how to control her husband.

And Lin Sen, who single-handedly contributed to all this, received the will, in addition to the spontaneous joy, he also scratched his head a little, worrying about what gifts to give at that time.

At that time, when I was excited, I ran to Qin Qiong to make peace, but I forgot about the dowry. It's not that he can't take out anything now, but he can't take out anything unique to show his love for Cheng Huaiyu, and he can't give Cheng Huaiyu an unforgettable memory.

He has not forgotten the goal he set at the beginning, he must make Cheng Huaiyu the envy of all women in Chang'an City, and let her entire wedding process be beautiful.

If you can't get a decent dowry, not only will you not be able to fulfill your promise, but I'm afraid that Cheng Huaiyu will become a laughing stock, which Lin Sen definitely doesn't want to see.

Fortunately, he still has some time to prepare a few more brilliant dowry, because the engagement process is still relatively complicated, and the first four of the so-called three books and six ceremonies are considered the content of the engagement.

The first is Nacai, that is, the man's parents ask the matchmaker to propose to the woman's family who has been searched, and the woman's family will also ask the matchmaker about the man's family at this time. When doing nakari, the man is required to give the woman a gift that symbolizes auspicious significance.

Lin Sen barely passed this matter, and he only needed to make up for the gifts, even if there were as many as thirty kinds of gifts, it was not too difficult to purchase.

And these things have a relatively beautiful meaning in it, such as sheep, herbs, deer, take their auspiciousness, in order to convey the meaning of blessings; The glue, lacquer, acacia bell, mandarin duck, phoenix, etc. are used to symbolize the meaning of good marriage between husband and wife; Or take the merits and virtues of each object to motivate and exhort the couple, such as the pampas reed, the cypress, the relics beast, the blessed beast, the fish, the goose, the nine children's wife, etc.

As long as the fortune teller doesn't plan to earn more medical expenses, or simply become a coffin, both men and women must be a match made in heaven and haven't run away, it's really a bit inappropriate, and there is definitely a way to resolve it.

At that time, Lin Sen planned to let Yuan Shoucheng come to help with this eight characters, and he would pull his beard fiercely if he didn't boast about it, and see who dared to say anything when the time came.

With God's blessing, the next step is to bring Najib, although you also have to bring gifts to the door, but the main thing is to officially present the engagement letter.

At this point, the engagement has not been officially completed, and there must be the most important levy, also called Na Yuan, that is, after Lin Sen cares most about the dowry link, the marriage contract between the two parties can be officially established, and the bride will be regarded as a member of the man's family in the future.

The reason why Lin Sen cares most about this link is because according to custom, the man's envoy should read the book of rites in the woman's court, and let the woman's family count the gifts brought, and then the woman will return the gift to the man's messenger after the counting.

The function of the gift book is to list the items and quantities to be collected, in short, it is a gift list, so that the woman's family can check whether there are any items that are clearly written on the list according to the gift book.

Whether it is to earn a fortune or lose face and throw it to grandma's house, it mainly depends on this, what gold, silver jewelry, antique jade is naturally vigorous.

And Lin Sen's biggest headache is this, the Lin family's background is too bad after all, although there is some money now, but there is no gift that can be obtained. I can only hope that before he is hired, he can find more really good things.

As for how to thank Li Shimin as a matchmaker, Lin Sen has already had a case, and he promises to let him smile when he sees it.

It didn't take a while, Lin Sen made the gift by himself, packed a few other things, and was ready to leave for Chang'an City again.

Although he may not have the opportunity to meet Li Shimin, after all, he does not have the permission to enter and leave the palace at will, whether he can see him or not depends most likely on Li Shimin's mood.

However, before entering the palace, he still had to go to a banquet first, and Cheng Huaimo, who had become his brother-in-law, set up a banquet on Duyiwei's side, saying that he wanted to introduce a group of heroes to him.
