Chapter 149: Good News for Summer
Luo Niang was wearing a long skirt with a floral blue bottom at the time, and the feet were small whale skin wedges, and the soles were nailed together with buffalo leather and eucommia rubber, which was very wear-resistant. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The white stockings are just knee-length, and they are still in the mouth type.
She was like the quiet master's house, with fluffy braids on the left and right sides of her head.
There are several hairstyles that are popular among men and women on the island.
Among the men, there are those who like to have short hair like the Liuqiu Guard, which is neat and neat, and easy to care for, and not hot.
There are also people who have a big ponytail and put their hands together, and then they can tie it up, and they can also "brush" it thinner.
And, of course, the original bun.
Among women, there are those who like to imitate the braids that are tied on the left and right of the quiet master's house, thinking that they look good and are easy to care for.
Of course, there are also those who keep the original style.
No one on the island of Liuqiu cares what style of hair people have...... Except for the members of the Wandering Guard, everyone else is at will.
However, the director of Hu Zhenbei forgot the instructions of Wang Defa's family, and exposed his ponytail to his work cap, but he was almost caught up in the axle of the lathe, and he was scared into a cold sweat.
He simply led the Great Song lathe workers to cut their hair short...... This is also a case of the progress of the productive forces forcing the customs of life to change.
Luo Niang smiled at the time and said, "Hello Lord Wang, I've heard Aunt Jing say you many times......"
Wang Defa's family was drinking with Zhang Guoan's owner at that time, talking about oil distillation, and he was regretting that the paraffin in the crude oil was produced less...... Of course, if you want light crude oil that is easy to distill and has a high yield, then you don't want to ask for paraffin and asphalt at the same time, it's common sense.
Wang Defa's family laughed and was stunned for a while, while Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, had already prepared, and he hurriedly asked the two women to sit down in the same place, playing haha to ease the atmosphere.
Wang Defa's family is not a person who can't speak when he sees his sister, but he didn't think of it for a while.
He will soon be able to talk and laugh, and everyone said something together, but Luo Niang didn't interject easily, she has been listening quietly, sometimes nodding in approval.
When he came back this time, Wang Defa's jade family also brought some superb cassiterite to the quiet master's family, all of which were at the level of gemstones.
Those beautiful cassiterites sparkle on the table!
The quiet master picked up a light blue gem and gestured it on Luo Niang's neck, which is very suitable for the skin, okay, this is a meeting gift.
She could see that her husband's friends had treated Luo Niang as a student, which was not good...... She smiled and said, "Let's go, Luo Niang, let's go to the jeweler and see what kind of pendant looks good!" ā
If you count from the real age, they are mother and daughter, but now, at most, it is the level of the aunt, so she told Luo Niang to call herself Aunt An, and the other masters of the family kept calling...... She didn't have her husband's hobby, and she didn't feel comfortable being called that.
But now, she wants Luo Niang to change her name to eldest sister...... To imply, Luo Niang's age is a good time to talk about marriage in this time and space.
After the two women left.
Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, ate a few peanuts and said, "It's her, don't talk about anything......
Wang Defa's family frowned and said, "Can this go down?" It's too small......"
"Come on, this time and space are a little bigger, then there is only one who is looking for a second marriage, you want it!"
Wang Defa's family was not uncommon to take care of his provocation, and said: "Cultivate it slowly!" ā
"No, no! You have to give someone a name first, don't force the old man from the Great Song Dynasty to get married! ā
This is true, because the sea communication between the two sides of the strait is extremely convenient, and the so-called correspondence is of course very convenient.
Although Luo Niang kept writing letters saying that she had a very good relationship with the hostess here, and she was able to learn unexpected knowledge, and she also asked people to send back good objects many times to honor her father, but how can these solve a father's worries about his daughter's marriage?!
Therefore, Wang Defa's family can be cultivated, but the name must be given...... Zhang Guoan, the owner of the island, understood that if it weren't for the two old maids around him to take care of him, it is estimated that the little old man would have jumped to the island a long time ago!
Wang Defa smiled bitterly and said, "How can it be a little old man? It's about the same size as us......"
Zhang Guoan Island Master smiled wickedly and said, "Then there is no way, who makes us more than twenty years younger?" Unconvinced, go to God...... So you're going to change the mental age!
Think about how silly you looked back then, and in retrospect, those are beautiful memories. ā
Well, Wang Defa nodded in agreement, he had no other choice.
In the summer of 1274, there was a happy thing on Liuqiu Island, Wang Defa's family and Luo Niang's little lady were engaged!
The marriage of men and women in the Great Song Dynasty essentially followed the principle of "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker".
Before the Tang Dynasty, the "words of the matchmaker" was only a requirement of etiquette, but the Tang Dynasty included it in the legal provisions.
As a result, the Great Song Dynasty followed the Tang Dynasty, and also attached great importance to the role of matchmakers, and most of the marriages were through matchmakers.
The matchmakers in the Great Song Dynasty were also hierarchical.
The superior wears a hijab and a purple back, saying that the official palace is gracious.
Medium wearing a crown, a yellow bun, a back, or only a skirt, holding a green umbrella, are all two people walking.
The inferior ones are the common matchmakers among the people, and they do the same thing......
Wang Defa's main family, of course, has to find the best, the top-notch...... As a result, Liu Qianxing was the first to look for it, and the other party was even awesome, and he didn't care about the matter of Liuqiu Island, and he didn't go!
Liu Qian didn't tell Liuqiu Island about this, this is a small matter, but they can't let them look down on their ability to do things.
He directly asked the Governor of Lin'an Mansion and the Hong Governor's Mansion for help, claiming that the lords of Liuqiu Island had no trivial matter, and he heard that the crystal ball formation was about to be completed...... Why bother with this when it's critical?
If Jia Pingzhang knows, it is not beautiful.
Of course, Governor Hong knew the problem...... It is not to be underestimated.
At that time, he stroked his beard and said: "Yin Di'an Dashang wants Ming Media to marry my Great Song woman, this is a good thing...... Sooner or later, I will be naturalized in the Great Song Dynasty! How can you look down on them because of this? Men marry women, human nature ......"
He casually asked someone to hand a post to the first-class matchmaker, meaning, you look at it.
A first-class matchmaker can look down on the big businessmen of Liuqiu Island, but he doesn't dare to look down on Governor Hong, he doesn't dare to bet on whether Governor Hong is a person with a large number of people, he will start doing it immediately.
Say a few more words.
The marriage discussion stage of this Great Song Dynasty is divided into three steps: sending a grass post to ask for divination, replying to the post, and going on a blind date:
The first step is for the matchmaker to send a straw post If the woman chooses a son-in-law, the woman will first send the matchmaker to send the "grass post" to the man's house.
The man's family asks for divination with a draft post, or prays for signs, and if there is no gram, he returns to the draft post to express his consent.
The contents of the draft slips of the two families are basically written with the names of the great-grandfathers, grandfathers, and fathers, family positions, family property, and their own names, dates of birth, etc., for the basis for the two families to consult and choose.
After the two families of men and women agree, they use "fine posts", the content is more detailed than the draft post, such as the female family in addition to the above, but also list the first few ladies, the first month and the auspicious time of the year and the marriage of the house, gold and silver jewelry, industry, land, etc.
After the matchmaker sends a detailed post to each other, it is called a "fixed post", this post is very important, and when you want to file a lawsuit to divide the family property after the divorce in the future, it is all a certificate!
There will never be things like borrowing marriage to blackmail property that often happens in that world, and if Wang Baoqiang had this, it is estimated that he would not have lost so much......
After the post, the man's wine preparation ceremony is sent to the woman's house on the same day, and the "blind date" is agreed, and the address is generally selected as a garden, or a chartered boat or a restaurant, or a tea room, and the two sides meet, with four cups of wine for the man and two cups for the woman, in order to show that "the man is strong and the woman is weak".
If the man likes it, he will insert the golden hairpin into the crown bun, which is called "inserting the hairpin".
If you don't like it, the man will send two colored satins, which is called "shock", and the marriage will not work.
"Blind date" means that the male family is in the active position and has the right to decide, and the female family is not a loss.
Then there is the engagement, which is the stage where the man and the woman are formally engaged and the marriage begins to be established.
After the blind date, a fixed appointment ceremony is held.
The man's family sends money and gifts to the woman's family to set up this family business.
Subdivided, there are also three steps: making a ceremony, giving a dowry, and giving a financial gift, as for the amount of financial gifts, it depends on your own level.
Three of these wedding invitations have a fixed format, and the first two are mostly polite words of greetings; Only the third marriage announcement is the marriage letter in which the man officially notifies the woman of the ceremony.
The female family accepts the gift box, puts it on the main house hall, prepares incense candles, wine and fruits, and blesses the ancestors of heaven and earth, and then asks the female in-laws and husband and wife to pick up the scarf and open it.
Of course, there are also troublesome ones, and there are also three steps to merge into one.
After the appointment is sent, the festival order is not sent, who wants to be so troublesome, and directly welcome it!
That's what Zhang Guoan meant...... He was going to use his identity as a first-class matchmaker and financial gifts beyond his imagination to scare the little old man named Luo Yuan to death! (To be continued.) )
