Chapter 03: Marriage Proposal

Liao Hua's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he laughed: "Yes, heroes and beauties, a match made in heaven!" In this way, does Miss Guan Si agree to this family business? ”

Guan Yinping said with a smile: "I really want it, I don't dare to ask for it!" Marriage with Da Sima is a good thing for the surnames of Heguan and Jiang, and it is a great thing for the temple to succeed the future generations, the old general can rest assured, although the third uncle of Yi'er is not here, but I, the fourth aunt, can also be half of the master. The old general, please reply to Da Sima, this family matter, I will answer on behalf of Yi'er. ”

Although Guan Yi is a member of the imperial court, the third uncle and the fourth aunt are there, and the marriage must naturally be decided by the two of them, and it is not his turn to make his own decisions. sighed in his heart, although he still wanted to show his attitude, but after listening to the fourth aunt's words, he knew that there was no possibility of changing this matter, so in desperation, he had to swallow back the words that came to his mouth.

The expression on Guan Yi's face, Guan Yinping naturally saw it clearly, and knew in his heart that he didn't think much of this family business. But it is related to the rise and fall of the glory of the Guan family, and she really can't afford to take too much care of Guan Yi's emotions, so she can only harden her heart and follow her own thoughts. sighed in his heart, hoping that Guan Yi could understand his hard work.

But whoever is hired to get married, there is a custom in ancient times, the son of heaven is one year, the princes are half a year, the doctor is a season, and the common people are one month. According to Guan Yinping's thoughts, Jiang Weigui is the great Sima of the imperial court, and he is honored by the above pillar country and is named the Marquis of Pingxiang, so he naturally follows the example of the princes.

Liao Hua was originally so thoughtful, but since Guan Yinping has no objections, it is very good. The plan with Li Yi and Guan Yinping has been decided, Liao Hua went to Jiang Mansion to reply, and after Jiang Wei confirmed, Guan Yinping arranged for someone to go to Jiang Mansion to propose.

During the whole process, Guan Yi didn't say a word. After sending Liao Hua away, Li Yi patted Guan Yi's arm and said with a smile: "Yi'er, you have to be ready, you will be the groom official in half a year!" ”

Guan Yi scratched his head helplessly, and the clever smile of the woman in white flashed in his mind. He really wanted to tell Li Yi and Guan Yinping that he already had a crush, but looking at Guan Yinping's earnest gaze, he couldn't say anything when it came to his mouth. In fact, Guan Yi didn't understand the thoughts of the fourth aunt, the Guan family really wanted to form a child and in-law with the Jiang family, which would undoubtedly be of great help to the Guan family to revive its glory in the future. What's more, listening to Liao Hua talk about the talent and appearance of Miss Jiang, she must be a wonderful beauty that is one in a million, and ordinary people can't even think of it. Guan Yi married her, and Xu was also a blessing he cultivated in his previous life.

Guan Yi smiled bitterly in his heart. is wealthy, and many times many things are really out of their own minds. Perhaps, he is destined to have nothing to do with the woman in white.

Guan Yinping had another thought, thinking that he was about to become an in-law with Jiang Wei, he was both feeling and happy in his heart, and after thinking about it, he first wrote a letter, called a confidant, and asked him to send it to Wudu Guan Suo immediately, and then asked people to go out to buy things and prepare to go to Jiang Mansion to propose.

In the afternoon, Liao Hua went and returned, laughing as soon as he entered the door, and his face was full of joy.

Li Yi welcomed Liao Hua into the door and said with a smile: "The old general is smiling, it must be a good thing!" ”

Liao Hua didn't go around in circles, and said with a smile: "That's nature." The old man went to Jiang Boyo's house, and told Jiang Boyu about the plan with the virtuous couple, but Jiang Boyo said that it was an eventful time now, and everything should be simple, and there was no need to stick to the rules. ”

Li Yi and Guan Yinping were stunned when they heard this, and Guan Yinping said: "Da Sima is above the three dukes, and he is a very popular minister, so in a hurry, I am afraid that I will insult the reputation of Da Sima and Miss Jiang, and it violates the etiquette law, it seems inappropriate, right?" ”

Liao Hua smiled: "That's what I meant, but what Jiang Boyo said is also very reasonable. In extraordinary times, I think that back then, the first emperor was Mrs. Nami in Xuzhou, and the six ceremonies were only three ceremonies: Nacai, invitation, and personal welcome. Therefore, according to the old man's opinion, it is rare for Jiang Boyo to be so open-minded and informal, and the virtuous couple might as well follow Jiang Boyo's meaning! ”

Li Yi thought for a while and said, "Well, since Da Sima said so, I think we will follow his wishes." ”

Guan Yi shook his head helplessly, he didn't say a word, but his lifelong affairs were finalized by these elders who ignored his existence.

It's just that Guan Yi wondered in his heart, why did Jiang Wei want to marry his beloved daughter to him in such a hurry?

Guan Yinping didn't think about it so much, she couldn't ask for Jiang Wei's proposal. After all, forming an in-law with the Jiang Mansion as soon as possible is undoubtedly extremely convenient for the Guan family. Moreover, Guan Yi and Jiang Wan's marriage has been ordered by their parents and the words of the matchmaker, and there are a few things missing from the six rites, and it doesn't matter. What's more, Jiang Wei doesn't care, but why is he bothered? It's just that hundreds of miles from Chengdu to Wudu are far away, and the mountain road is rugged, so I'm afraid that when the wedding is held six days later, the third brother Guan Suo will not be able to arrive on time.

Fortunately, Guan Yinping knows that Guan Suo has a stable temperament, and his sister-in-law Bao Sanniang and Hua Wei are also well-informed people, if he learns that he has made decisions for Guan Yi and responded to this family affair with Jiang Fu, even if Guan Suo and his sister-in-law can't rush back on time, they will definitely not blame themselves. Thinking of this, Guan Yinping nodded and said with a smile: "Please ask the old general to convey to Da Sima, it is better for our husband and wife to be respectful!" ”

Liao Hua smiled: "So good! After the virtuous couple prepared all the things that should be accepted, the old man would go to Jiang's mansion tomorrow to propose marriage. In the past few days, Jiang Bo will pack up his makeup and prepare a BMW car, and Guan Yixian's nephew will come to greet his relatives in six days! After saying that, he immediately said goodbye, and Li Yi and his wife sent them back to the door.

Although the one-day period is tight, it is also enough to prepare a collection of goods, which is the first thing, and because it is winter, it is very easy to obtain, and if it is in the north, there is nowhere to catch it. Guan Yinping sent his relatives out of the city to catch them, and it didn't take half a day to hunt two male and female live geese in the lake of Du'anyan and send them to the mansion overnight. Early the next morning, Li Yi and Guan Yinping asked Liao Hua to represent the Guan Mansion and bring something that should be accepted to Jiang Mansion to propose marriage*.

Note: 1. Du'an Yan, that is, Dujiangyan. During the Han Dynasty, Dujiangyan area was placed in Du'an County, also known as Jindi, and it was called Dujiangyan after the Song Dynasty. 2. The weddings of the Qin and Han dynasties mostly followed the weekly system. The wedding ceremony is mainly based on "six colors", that is, Nacai, Ming, Naji, Nazheng (or Nacheng, Nayuan), invitation, and personal welcome. 3. After the Jiaozi ceremony, the groom wears a black and red wedding dress, and drives a car to the woman's house at dusk to greet his relatives, so it is called the "faint ceremony". 4. The bride is also a black dress, and does not wear a red Luo head cover, but here is a novel, and let the bride wear a head cover. As for other wedding and dowry systems, customs vary from place to place.
