During the Northern Song Dynasty, from marriage proposal to marriage, there were six ceremonial procedures, the so-called six rites. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The first step is to propose relatives in today's society, and of course the proposal is to give a bride price. This "vice" of giving a bride price has existed since ancient times.

The second step is to ask for the name, and the man asks the woman for the woman's name. It is estimated that the female family will slaughter the male family with hatred again.

In the third step, Najib, the man's family finds a half-immortal to approve the eight characters, and the eight characters are harmonious, and then he goes to the woman's house to report the auspiciousness, and then gets engaged. Of course, the male family still has to let blood, otherwise how can it be called raising his head to marry his daughter and bowing his head to marry his daughter-in-law?

In the first three steps, Zhu Biao and Hu Sanniang have already completed, and the acceptance certificate is the fourth step. The so-called acceptance certificate is that after the engagement, the male family officially sends a dowry gift to the female family.

After Hu Cheng left satisfied, Zhu Wanmao took Zhu Long and Zhu Hu brothers, Zhu Wanmao walked slowly two steps in the hall with a cane. He walked over to a chair next to Zhu Biao and sat down, and asked, "Biao'er, have you thought about it?" ”

"I've figured it out." Zhu Biao's tone was unquestionable.

"She was caught in the den by thieves." Zhu Wanmao emphasized again.

"Does Daddy think this is important?" Of course, Zhu Biao understood the meaning of Zhu Wanmao's words.

"Entering the thief's den, the chastity of this girl's family ......" Zhu Wanmao didn't continue, just shook his head, with a fierce and auspicious expression.

"Daddy, if you want to keep our Zhujiazhuang, you must unite them to Hujiazhuang, if we regret the marriage now, it is reasonable, we will not lose the family, it is reasonable. But then we wish that Jiazhuang and Hujiazhuang will not get along with each other from now on. Of course we have it

Although there is evidence that they colluded with the Liangshan bandits, once there is a real emergency, I am afraid that our Zhu family will not even have a chance to come up with this evidence. Zhu Biao said: "We can't let Hujiazhuang be beheaded by the whole house, and we can't let Hujiazhuang become our Zhu."

The enemy of the family village, the only way is to marry the family village. ”

Zhu Wanmao listened to Zhu Biao's eloquent words, and every sentence was reasonable.

Zhu Biao continued: "Daddy, don't forget, there is still a playboy in Dongping Mansion?" Li Ying of Lijiazhuang has been taking refuge in Liangshan Thief Kou for some time, why did this playboy who was still shouting every day for Kutian at the beginning suddenly not move? ”

"What does Biao'er think?" Zhu Wanmao didn't pay attention at first, but now that Zhu Biao said it, he couldn't help but be suspicious.

Zhu Biao pondered for a moment and said, "This is the calm before the storm. If this dude is not busy with the fields elsewhere now, there is a bigger conspiracy brewing. ”

"That Biao'er thinks this playboy is in the field elsewhere or ......"

"There must be a bigger conspiracy!" Zhu Biao didn't wait for Zhu Wanmao to finish speaking, so he made up his mind.

"How so?"

"Now the fields of Dongping Mansion and Dongping Mansion have been almost covered by this duke, even in Liangshan Bo, as long as the Liangshan thieves can't control the water Bo, so why is he still in Dongping Mansion?"

"Yes, only our Dulonggang duke has not yet come."

Zhu Biao sneered: "But don't worry, Daddy, as long as we marry Hujiazhuang successfully, then the grandfather will not be able to cover our Dulonggang field." ”

"Really?" Zhu Wanmao was full of doubts about Zhu Biao's words.

Zhu Biao smiled slightly: "This dude is selfish. ”

"Selfish? How so? ”

Zhu Biao approached Zhu Wanmao and said: "Just because Dongping Mansion and the fields around Dongping Mansion are included, only our fields in Dulonggang are not included, that is, Lijiazhuang has now become an ownerless field, and his father-in-law does not come to bracket, doesn't Daddy think this matter is a little strange?" ”

Zhu Wanmao bowed slightly when he heard Zhu Biao's words, and said, "Did the grandfather see that our Dulonggang was fighting with the Liangshan thieves, so he didn't come." ”

"Then now that the Liangshan thieves have left, I recently heard that the Liangshan thieves are now attacking Gaotang Prefecture, so why hasn't this duke come yet?"

Zhu Wanmao frowned, nodded slightly, and said, "Is he waiting for ......?"

"Daddy is right, and my son thinks that this playboy is waiting."

"And what are he waiting for?"

"Then what is he waiting for, my son can't guess." Zhu Biao said: "No matter what he is waiting for, we first have to form a group by ourselves, and if we want to hold a group, we must first hold a group with Hujiazhuang." Marriage is the best way to go. Speaking of this, Zhu Biao stood up, paced back and forth two steps, and said

"My son is willing to fulfill the marriage contract with Hujiazhuang, which is also for the sake of our future and destiny. ”

Zhu Wanmao sighed when he heard this: "Hey, Biao'er, I have wronged you." You go to Hujiazhuang to pay the bride price, for your father to handle for you, and never let you suffer half of the grievances. ”

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said, "In addition, my son wants to sell all the fields under his name to the eldest brother and the second brother. ”

"You want to sell land? Why? You have sold all your land, and what will you live on when you become married? Zhu Wanmao couldn't help frowning when he heard Zhu Biao's decision to sell the land.

"My son wants to use the money from the sale of land to buy a regimental training envoy."

"Biao'er, you buy an official, your father has no objection," Zhu Wanmao said: "But this dynasty is a noble and lowly martial artist, if you want to buy an official, you should also buy a civil official, no matter how much money you spend, it is worth it." ”

"Daddy, not far from our Zhujiazhuang is the Liangshan thief, and civil officials can't be in charge of the army," Zhu Biao shrugged his shoulders and said: "Buying a civil official is just to look good and have face, only by buying a military attaché, we Zhujiazhuang can protect ourselves." ”

Zhu Wanmao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, for the father, I will depend on you." Don't sell your land, buy the money of the official, after you and Hu Sanniang of Hujiazhuang get married, you will buy the official for your father. ”

Zhu Biao arched his hand and said, "Then thank you, Daddy." ”

"Oh, by the way, how is your salt-making business going?"

Zhu Biao smiled: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, and you have to prepare for a while." ”

Zhu Wanmao said: "Biao'er, you now put down all the things in your hands, first complete the major events of the marriage, and after the marriage, these things you have to do will definitely help your father." ”

Dividing line ********

Just when Zhu Biao and Zhu Wanmao were discussing the marriage with Hujiazhuang in the hall, a team of military horses entered Dongping Mansion under the cover of night, and the big flag headed by this military horse was embroidered with a big "flower" character, and on one side of the word "flower", a line was embroidered near the flagpole

Small print: Cizhou Soldiers and Horses Defense Envoy.

Yes, this force is Hua Huai, the righteous son of the playboy who is dormant in Dongping Mansion, and the 3,000 Xiang army under his command have arrived.

That night, the duke set up a feast at the pavilion, and after he was full of wine and food, the father and son retreated into a room and discussed how they could incorporate the feng shui treasure of Dulonggang into their own name under the banner of the Gutian Order.
