Chapter Ninety-Nine: Najib and Najib
After leaving the capital, where to develop, how to achieve this goal, Wu Shaogang's key direction for asking for help is still Li Tingzhi, he knows the relationship between Li Tingzhi and Jia Yidao, both of them used to be Meng Hui's most valued talents, and there have been many happy cooperation between the two, and more importantly, Li Tingzhi has always admired Jia Nidao, and there is no idea of surpassing and replacing Jia Nidao, Jia Nidao can also feel this.

This determines that the relationship between Li Tingzhi and Jia Nidao is not ordinary, as long as there are no major changes, Jia Nidao will not calculate Li Tingzhi, and will take care of Li Tingzhi all the time.
Li Tingzhi has a very good prestige in the court, and is called Bole, if he is someone else, Jia Nidao has long been unable to bear it, because this threatens his own status, but Jia Nidao doesn't care about all this at all.
In the letter to Li Tingzhi, Wu Shaogang said this matter very calmly, and made it clear that he wanted to go to a relatively remote place that would not arouse the special attention of the imperial court, and he believed that Li Tingzhi understood the meaning.
In mid-March, Wu Shaogang's letter was delivered.
What Wu Shaogang never expected was that on the fourth day of his letter, his father Wu Qiming, mother Xu Zongying, sister Wu Shaolan and sister-in-law came to the capital.
Wu Shaogang had actually written a letter to his family, meaning that he would not let his little sister Wu Shaolan come to the capital and stay in his hometown.
Wu Qiming, Xu Zongying and sister-in-law came to the capital for the purpose of Wu Shaogang's marriage, Wu Shaolan came to the capital, it was to send Huanhuan to the capital, and then he would follow his parents back to his hometown, in fact, Wu Shaogang didn't know at all that Wu Shaolan was much more comfortable in his hometown, after all, there were many familiar partners in his hometown, and they could communicate and play with each other, and the status of the Wu family in the village was different from the average and received a lot of respect.
Wu Qiming and others came to the capital to implement the third and fourth ceremonies of the six wedding ceremonies, which were Najib and Nazheng.
The so-called Najib, is to inform the woman's family of the name, generally speaking, only the two men and women are compatible, there is a Najib, if the two sides of the eight characters do not coincide, the man will send someone to return the woman's birthday and so on, so that both parties understand the meaning.
Najib is actually the meaning of the good news, after this step, it is the most critical step of the recruitment, the man's family goes to the woman's house to send the bride price, once the woman accepts the bride price, the marriage will be decided.
After the levy is the invitation period, that is, to determine the time to marry the woman, this is generally not very fixed, if the grade of both parties is small, it can be delayed for a while, and the age of both parties is appropriate, then the date will be asked soon.
Wu Shaogang was a little caught off guard, in his plan, the matter of marriage was put behind, and he would not consider it for the time being, although he regarded Li Tingzhi as the biggest reliance, but he was also ready not to be Li Tingzhi's son-in-law, after all, when he arrived in a remote place, he would not be able to return to the capital for a while and a half, and the girl might not be able to endure hardships with him, in this case, the marriage would have to be given up, so as not to delay both parties, and everyone's face would not look good.
In his heart, Wu Shaogang did not want such a situation to happen, after all, in such a situation, he was bound to lose Li Tingzhi's support, and others had no obligation to help him.
The words of the parents and the matchmaker, Wu Qiming, Xu Zongying and sister-in-law came to the capital, this marriage is not something that Wu Shaogang can plan, as for whether it will affect Wu Shaogang's plan, it is uncertain.
Wu Shaogang was very anxious and felt helpless.
The letter has been sent out, and it can't be received back at all, according to the time, Li Tingzhi should have received it.
At home, his sister-in-law told Wu Shaogang that the dates of Najib and Nazheng were determined, Najib on March 28 and Nazheng on the first day of April, almost next to each other.
Wu Shaogang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, the days did not drag on too far, that is, within a dozen days, there would not be too much delay in his plan.
Wu Shaogang didn't tell his parents about his plans, he didn't think it was necessary, his parents were just ordinary farmers, and they didn't understand these things very well, and there was no need to figure them out.
Najib and Nazheng are both to give gifts.
Najib's gifts, generally colored silk, cakes, candles, etc., are all in pairs, to be good, if the woman accepts, indicating that she is satisfied with this family business, then you can determine the time of acceptance, if the woman is not satisfied, she will return the gift, then the rest of the steps do not need to be carried out.
The gifts of the levy are much more valuable, generally cloth and silk, gold, silver and jade, etc., which are worth a lot of money, and during the process of the levy, the woman will also return the gift, usually clothes, hats, shoes and socks and other things.
Wu Qiming and Xu Zongying had long wanted to come to the capital, but they had delayed some time to prepare gifts for Najib and Nazheng, and these things needed to be prepared with the best, gold and silver jewelry, etc., and they had to be carefully made, so they delayed the time.
All the gifts were brought to the capital this time, and they were all packed in good sandalwood boxes.
Wu Qiming and Xu Zongying's mood is very good, after all, Wu Shaogang's marriage is about to be decided, and they can be regarded as the biggest thought, and the next marriage between Wu Shaozun and Wu Shaolan will have to wait for a while, the status of the Wu family in the village is no longer the same, and the marriage of Wu Shaozun and Wu Shaolan, who stayed in their hometown, should be much smoother.
Where is Wu Shaogang's mind on these things.
However, Naji and Nazheng are two very critical steps in the six rites, among which Wu Shaogang must go to the woman's house, which is a basic etiquette and cannot be missing.
For several days in a row, Wu Shaogang went out early and returned late, and he had to go home every day, Wu Qiming and Xu Zongying knew that Wu Shaogang had a lot of things, and they did not complain, and persuaded Wu Shaogang not to work too hard.
Seeing that the days were approaching day by day, Wu Shaogang was also a little apprehensive.
He knew very well that Najib and Na Zheng, Li Tingzhi would also return to the capital, and once Li Tingzhi considered his daughter and denied his request, the rest of the matter would be difficult to handle.
It was March 28.
Najib's etiquette, Wu Shaogang does not need to participate, Wu Qiming and Xu Zongying need to go to the woman's house, and his sister-in-law is Najib's main and key figure.
On this day, Wu Shaogang did not go to the barracks, waiting for news at home, he could not go to the barracks, if outsiders knew, they would say that this was his disrespect for the woman and the woman's family.
In the evening, Wu Qiming, Xu Zongying and his sister-in-law went home, all three of them had comfortable smiles on their faces, compared to the last time they came to the capital, Wu Qiming and Xu Zongying's demeanor was much more natural, which can be regarded as progress.
After eating, Xu Zongying came to Wu Shaogang's room.
"Gang'er, prepare at home in the past two days, I'm going to Li's house the day after tomorrow, my mother knows that you have no problem, but you also have to dress up seriously, and I told my sister-in-law, this is respect for the woman's family."
"Mother, the child knows, the child will be ready."
"By the way, the master of the Li family talked about the invitation, your father and mother are not very clear, and your sister-in-law is also a little unclear.
Master Li, that's Li Tingzhi.
When his mother Xu Zongying said this, Wu Shaogang's heart chuckled.
Li Tingzhi must have received the letter, the reason why he didn't reply to the letter was because he returned to the capital, this day was really a coincidence, several things had come into a bunch of things, if his parents had told him in advance, such a thing would not have happened, but Wu Shaogang could not blame his parents, the marriage was originally the direct decision of the parents, Wu Shaogang had no right to speak.
Xu Zongying is still constantly instructing Wu Shaogang, but Wu Shaogang has already thought of other places, he doesn't know what Li Tingzhi's attitude is, it is difficult to disagree with his request, so he specifically mentioned the matter of the invitation, this invitation is to ask Wu Shaogang to marry Li Hanwei earlier, once married, if you want to be free, it is not so simple.
When he thought of this, Wu Shaogang's heart sank a little.
Early the next morning, Wu Qiming and Xu Zongying took Wu Shaogang to the bazaar to make new clothes for Wu Shaogang, and Wu Shaolan also followed him to the bazaar and made a few new clothes.
New clothes are naturally good materials.
Wu Shaogang's figure is very good, and even the tailor who makes clothes is amazed, which makes Wu Qiming and Xu Zongying even more happy and gives some more deposits.
Wu Shaogang didn't speak, he didn't think so, he could only be a merchant in the Song Dynasty, he was very good at doing business and understood people's hearts, no wonder the commerce and trade of the Song Dynasty were so developed.
Wu Shaogang was at home for several days in a row, and Huanhuan was also very happy, following Wu Shaogang's side all the time, sometimes putting his front paws on Wu Shaogang's back, constantly licking Wu Shaogang's neck with his tongue.
Although Huanhuan has been by Wu Shaolan's side for a long time, his most loyal master is still Wu Shaogang.
Wu Shaolan brought Huanhuan this time, which means to leave it in the capital, after Huanhuan arrived in the village, the mood was not very good, no matter how Wu Shaolan greeted, he couldn't keep his spirits up, Wu Shaolan knew Huanhuan's emotions, so this time he specially followed him to the capital and sent Huanhuan back.
Everything is ready, and the day of April 1 has arrived.
Early in the morning, Wu Qiming, Xu Zongying, Wu Shaogang, sister-in-law and Wu Lin set off, because with many gifts, the housekeeper Wu Lin must follow, and the matter of handing over the gifts is completed by Wu Lin.
When Wu Shaogang went out, his expression was very calm, but his heart was full of worry, this time he went to Li Tingzhi's house, not only to be completely sure of marriage, but also to the future, and in Wu Shaogang's opinion, under the current situation, the future is much more important than marriage.
It's a pity that he can't say such words, he can only keep them in his heart.
