Chapter 183: Marriage Proposal

On the first day of the ninth month, the hour of the hour. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

Wu Fanhui was already sitting in the hall, and he was sitting on the second chair on the left.

In the middle of the hall is a square antique table, on the left side of the table is Chen Shiqu, the magistrate of Beizhili County, that is, Chen Yitong's father, and on the right is Wu Qingchao, Wu Qingchao is Chen Yitong's mother Wyeth, and next to Wyeth is a matchmaker who has been to Mizhi County.

Next to Wu Fanhui, sitting is naturally the matchmaker's third aunt.

The words of the parents, Wu Fanhui's marriage, will be decided at this time.

When he saw Chen Shiqu and Wyeth, Wu Fanhui bowed and behaved very respectfully, if it weren't for this relationship, Wu Fanhui saw Chen Shiqu, and he didn't need to bow at all, just hug his fists, Wu Fanhui was compiled from the Hanlin of the sixth grade, the grade was higher than Chen Shiqu, and his identity was more valuable than Chen Shiqu, on the contrary, Chen Shiqu saw Wu Fanhui and needed to bow his head.

Wu Fanhui could sense that Chen Shiqu and Wyeth had been observing him all along.

From the time they met, Wyeth had a smile on his face, and his eyes almost never left Wu Fanhui.

Wu Fanhui was also calm, and his performance has been quite calm.

During this time, he did not speak except to introduce himself.

Wu Fanhui only sat for a few minutes, then got up and left the hall, the next thing is that Wu Qingchao and the matchmaker discussed with each other, and it has nothing to do with him, of course, he still needs to stay in Fengxiang Mansion City for a few days, it is estimated that after five days, he will come to the door again with Wu Qingchao, Sangu and others, after all, he still has to participate in this procedure.

Today's procedure is called Nacai, that is, the man goes to the woman's home to propose, if the woman agrees, then the next step is to ask the name of the procedure, which is to calculate the birth date of the male and female double anti-reverse, if the birth of the double anti-reverse eight characters coincide, then the next step of Najib, that is, the man agrees to marry the woman, followed by the Na Zheng, the man sends the bride price to the woman.

When the Wu family sent someone to Mizhi County, they brought Chen Yitong's birthday eight characters, and Wu Qingchao and Wang Hecui also provided Wu Fanhui's birth eight characters, specifically looking for someone to calculate, it was completely compatible, and it was a good omen, so Wu Qingchao and Wang Hecui agreed to come down, and there was this thousands of miles away.

Wu Fanhui and his entourage stayed in Fengxiang Mansion City for at least five days or so, or even longer, that is, they had completed all the four procedures of Nacai, Mingming, Najib and Nazheng, and after completing these four procedures, Chen Yitong was already Wu Fanhui's fiancée in principle.

Wu Fanhui's personal maid Li Jiacui followed to Fengxiang Mansion City, and will also follow to Chen's house during the Najib program, Li Jiacui will contact Chen Yitong on behalf of Wu Fanhui, one is to recognize the meaning of the housemother, and the other is to observe the future housemother by the way.

Wu Fanhui didn't want to see Chen Yitong, until the moment he entered the cave room, he untied the red cloth on Chen Yitong's head, and he would not see his wife.

There's no way around it.

The housekeeper took Wu Fanhui and walked around the front yard and the middle yard, the backyard was not enterable, it was the place where the female dependents lived, although Chen Yitong was in the backyard, Wu Fanhui didn't want to see it.

This way of marrying makes Wu Fanhui very helpless, but unfortunately this is the rule, as an official of the imperial court, he has to follow the rules, if he violates the rules in the matter of marrying, he will receive impeachment and punishment from the court, and he will not be able to raise his head in the future.

After walking around, Wu Fanhui clenched his fists and said goodbye to the housekeeper, he didn't need to wait in the mansion.

Back at the inn, Wu Fanhui called Li Yong and others, went to the street to wander around, and came to Fengxiang Mansion City, he didn't plan to buy anything, what he didn't expect was that Chen Shiqu actually returned home, it seems that the rules of the scholar family are different, and the court must be allowed to take a leave of absence for such a big thing.

Fengxiang Mansion is larger than Yan'an Mansion City, and the architectural style is not the same, there are no caves here, and Fengxiang Mansion is located in the Guanzhong Plain, compared with Yan'an Mansion, the overall terrain is still gentle, and the climate is better than Yan'an Mansion.

When wandering all the way, Wu Fanhui thought of Chen Minghui, this kid is still studying in the capital of the country, and it is possible to return to Fengxiang Mansion at the end of the month.

However, from another level, Chen Yitong, a little girl, married all the way to Mizhi County, the conditions are not as good as Fengxiang Mansion City, and she is so far away from home, she is really a little aggrieved.

Fengxiang Mansion City is definitely not as good as Xi'an Mansion City, and it can't be compared with the capital, so Wu Fanhui doesn't particularly care about the prosperity he sees in front of him, and all he thinks of in his mind are other things.

Back at the inn, the housekeeper of the Chen family was already waiting at the inn and invited Wu Fanhui to go to the restaurant for dinner.

This is also an arrangement that has been made a long time ago, this meal is a treat for the Chen family, and all the people of the Wu family who came to Fengxiang Mansion City are going to participate, including Li Yong and others.

The restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Fengxiang City, and the Chen family has almost the entire restaurant.

Wu Qingchao, Wu Fanhui and the matchmaker Sangu sat in the chief, and Chen Shiqu, Wyeth and the matchmaker invited by the Chen family accompanied the chief.

During the meal, Chen Shiqu got up and went to toast the others, saying that everyone had come all the way to Fengxiang Mansion City, which was very hard, Wu Fanhui noticed that when Chen Shiqu saw Li Yong and others, his expression was a little focused.

After eating, when Wu Fanhui was about to go back to the inn with everyone, the housekeeper of the Chen family came to him and said that he was invited to go to the master's mansion.

The grandfather in the housekeeper's mouth is Chen Shiqu's father, the old man who once served as the imperial history of the Imperial Court in the capital, and the patriarch of the Chen family in Fengxiang Mansion City.

This time, accompanying Wu Fanhui to the Taiye's mansion was Chen Shiqu.

Wu Fanhui has almost no contact with such an old man, although he has been in the capital for a few months, but the most contact is Lu Weibiao, because they are familiar with each other, so there is not much restraint, he also went to meet Fang Fengnian, Fang Fengnian basically belongs to the more pedantic nerd sequence, and there is not much pressure.

The party struggle in the court was particularly fierce during the Apocalypse, and this old man was born during the Apocalypse, and he must have seen a lot of the world.

When he came to the front of a mansion, the housekeeper was already waiting at the door, leading Chen Shiqu and Wu Fanhui in.

Entering the mansion, Wu Fanhui immediately had a sense of tranquility, when walking in the corridor, he could see the mountains and rivers in the courtyard, quite a little bridge and flowing water.

It is worthy of the scholar family, such a mansion does not exist in Mizhi County, even the once extremely prominent He family, its mansion is not so quiet, this is probably the so-called aristocratic atmosphere hundreds of years later.

When Wu Fanhui saw this old man, he saluted in a proper manner and called the master in his mouth.

The old man's hair and beard were all white, but his eyes were very sharp, his eyes were like torches, and he looked at Wu Fanhui for a while.

Wu Fanhui was not afraid, his expression was very calm, and his momentum of neither arrogance nor humility was revealed.

When the old man showed a smile on his face, Wu Fanhui's face also showed a smile, and Chen Shiqu on the side seemed to be relieved, which inevitably made Wu Fanhui feel that it was the old man in front of him who could really call the shots in his marriage.

Sure enough, after the old man spoke, he did not ask Wu Fanhui how his knowledge was, but asked Wu Fanhui how he felt in the capital, after all, Wu Fanhui was written by Hanlin, and it was not a short time to participate in the meeting examination and the palace examination in the capital.

Wu Fanhui's answer is also very simple, Jingshi is indeed very prosperous and wealthy, but what he is more attached to is his hometown, maybe after a few years, he will adapt to everything in Jingshi.

Wu Fanhui's answer made the old man and Chen Shiqu stunned slightly, but they quickly understood the meaning, what Wu Fanhui meant was that he would not deliberately pursue glory and wealth, and would not linger too much in wealth.

This kind of words can only be said by the champion, and if you are someone else, you will encounter ridicule, after all, not everyone is qualified to stay in the capital.

The conversation was not long, and when the housekeeper left with Wu Fanhui, Chen Shiqu did not leave immediately.

After Wu Fanhui returned to the inn, he read the book for a while, and as soon as it got dark, he went to bed to rest.

After a day passed, when Wu Qingchao returned to the inn, he told Wu Fanhui with a smile that the matter of proposing marriage was basically decided, and Wu Fanhui understood that it must be the patriarch of the Chen family who nodded that the marriage could be decided.

The next thing is simpler, when Najib, Li Jiacui followed to Chen's house, and when she came back, the little girl's face was red, saying that the housemother was really good-looking.

Li Jiacui's words made Wu Fanhui finally feel at ease, if he married a mediocre-looking girl, it would be too wronged, and if he couldn't find a beautiful girl as a companion, it would be too much of a failure.

When the recruitment, Wu Fanhui went to the Chen family again, this time Chen Shiqu was full of smiles, after the recruitment, Wu Fanhui is his son-in-law, and the relationship is different, if it is not for the fact that Fengxiang Mansion is too far away from Mizhi County, the matter of the later request can also be determined in a short time, but Wu Fanhui's holiday time is running out, and he will rush to the capital during the Spring Festival, and it will definitely be too late to say the matter of the invitation before the year.

On September 12, Wu Fanhui and his entourage left Fengxiang Mansion and headed towards Mizhi County.

This time, Wu Fanhui did not follow the team, he took twenty guards and walked in front, while Li Yong took the rest of the guards to protect the safety of Wu Qingchao and others.
