Shi Bufan can be regarded as having eaten this canonization celebration banquet, and then he can go back. When he returned home, his fiancée, Dugu Daxue, came to find him.

"Let's set a date as soon as possible, and then find a time to get married!" Dugu Daxue said.

Shi Bufan then asked helplessly: "Are you still willing to marry?" ”

Shi Bufan thought that Dugu Daxue might not be willing to "get married", because Shi Bufan took in Li Jiancheng's daughter, and also helped Li Jiancheng's son escape, which can be regarded as being remembered by Li Shimin, if there is no accident in this life, there is no political future. Therefore, even if Dugu Daxue regrets his marriage, it is normal for Shi Bufan to think that it is normal. You must know that since ancient times, there have been many things to regret marriage, and perhaps some people value the future of a young man or the family behind him and are willing to marry their daughters to him. But if his future is ruined, or if his family declines, he will naturally think about regretting his marriage. This is human nature, after all, no one wants to marry their daughter to a man with no future. Or marry him in order to win over the forces behind him, if the forces behind him decline, then there is no need to continue to maintain the marriage contract.

Therefore, Shi Bufan thinks that Dugu Daxue regrets getting married, which is not an uncommon thing, but a very normal thing. But now Dugu Daxue is still willing to come over to set a date, which means that he still plans to marry him, which makes Shi Bufan quite surprised.

"This marriage gift was issued by the emperor, and the prince has no intention of revoking it. What's more, this kind of ordinary book making has no impact on the general trend of the imperial court, so the prince will not do such superfluous things in one fell swoop. Therefore, although the marriage letter between me and you was issued by the emperor, that is, the emperor soon after, the crown prince will not refute this matter. Dugu Daxue said.

Only then did Shi Bufan realize that this was the emperor's marriage, and the emperor's marriage was not so easy to regret, unlike an ordinary discussion that could be dissolved. And the emperor gives marriage, even if the husband wants to divorce his wife, it is not so easy, if the divorce of his wife is not a slap in the face of the emperor? Even if it is to reconcile, it is not easy. Because if he leaves, it also shows that the emperor messes up the mandarin duck spectrum, which is not very good. So this marriage has to go on as it is. And although Li Shimin is the crown prince, that is, the future emperor, he has no intention of rejecting this book. Because this book is just a consolation book, it is not something that has an impact on the general trend of the imperial court.

As a descendant of emperors, whether the policy of the previous emperor should not be changed or not. Li Shimin will not make any more moves to dismiss this marriage book, he thinks that there is no need to make himself angry for this marriage book. In addition, Li Shimin is not interested in Dugu Daxue, so there is naturally no need to do more. Anyway, this marriage system, including most of the books and edicts issued by Li Yuan before, will continue to be useful, and will not be annihilated because Li Yuan abdicated.

"Well, in that case, let's go visit my father-in-law and set a date. My parents have passed away, so naturally I don't have to make my parents' decisions, I can discuss and decide by myself! Shi Bufan said.

Originally, this kind of thing was decided by the parents, but if your parents have passed away, you can decide it yourself without too much trouble. So next, Shi Bufan and Dugu Daxue also came to General Dugu's mansion, ready to come and discuss a marriage with Dugu Kaiyuan.

"Our general said that your own affairs have been decided by yourself, and our general does not want to see you! In the future, you will discuss the good days by yourself, and then you will come to inform Dugu to act as a high hall when the time comes, needless to say. The servant of the General's Mansion said.

Shi Bufan was a little embarrassed, this was Dugu Kaiyuan's reluctance to see him. Originally, Li Yuan planned well, Dugu Kaiyuan pretended to cooperate with Li Shimin, and then calculated Li Shimin and Li Jiancheng. But he didn't expect to be seen through by Shi Bufan, which made Li Yuan's plan completely aborted. Li Yuan will face the result of abdication in a few days, and this result is an extremely huge blow to the Dugu family. Although the Dugu family is also a relative, a relative is also a son of heaven and a courtier. Li Yuan's biological mother is the daughter of the Dugu family, but Li Shimin's biological mother is from the Dou family, and they can't beat each other. In this feudal era, after all, it is still based on men, so even if the emperor takes care of his relatives, he can only take care of his mother and wife, and it is impossible to take care of his grandmother's generation. Li Shimin has no feelings for this so-called grandmother at all. said that there are feelings, but that's, so there is no need for him to take care of the Dugu family.

Once Li Shimin became the emperor, his relatives also changed. From the Dugu family and the Dou family, to the Dou family and the eldest grandson family, the Dugu family was completely kicked out. And what caused all this actually has a lot to do with the extraordinary times. If it weren't for Shi Bufan who ruined Li Yuan's plan, Li Yuan would not have ended up with the current abdication. So there is a lot of cause and effect in this, so Dugu Kaiyuan naturally doesn't want to recognize this son-in-law.

This time, Shi Bufan officially came to visit as a son-in-law, and Dugu Kaiyuan didn't pay attention to him at all, anyway, he didn't have this son-in-law. As for him, of course, it is impossible for him to reject Li Yuan's book, so he can only be out of sight, not to discuss this marriage, and let Shi Bufan and Dugu Daxue solve it by themselves.

Dugu Kaiyuan just let Shi Bufan and Dugu Daxue set their own dates, and when the time comes, you can notify him, and then he will do his duty to act as the high hall of the wedding, even if he has fulfilled his obligations, and it will never matter from then on. Dugu Kaiyuan's meaning is very obvious, from then on, Dugu Daxue is Shi Bufan's wife, and Dugu Kaiyuan only nominally recognizes this son-in-law, but he doesn't plan to have anything to do with Shi Bufan, let alone accept Shi Bufan's entry into Dugu's house, so after this engagement, it means that the relationship between them is only nominal, and the two parties are actually still strangers.

"My father-in-law is a little prejudiced against me!" Shi Bufan was embarrassed in the end.

Dugu Daxue doesn't matter, anyway, the rise and fall of Dugu's family has nothing to do with her as a woman. After she became Shanggong, she had no chance to marry according to the unspoken rules. But now that there is a chance to get married, then such a lonely snow is not excluded. Anyway, the strength of the Dugu family has nothing to do with her as a woman, and it is impossible for her to inherit the power position of the Dugu family, so there is no pity for Dugu Daxue. Anyway, whether it is her income as a five-grade official or an extraordinary title, or even Qin Jiarui's income in the tea industry is not low, her life will definitely not be poor, but very rich, so she has no opinion.

"Well, since my father doesn't want to come over and discuss it together, let's settle it ourselves! Fortunately, this time the prince also canonized you the title of a Dingxiang County man, although there is no income for the time being, but it is also a county man's title, which is equivalent to Wupin. In this way, it is not too big for me to marry you, so that you and I can avoid a lot of embarrassment. Dugu Daxue replied.

Shi Bufan's title is also useful, although there is no income at present, but at least the status has been promoted. The founder of the county male is equivalent to the five grades, although he does not have any real power, but not only has a higher status, but a title! Titles are more valuable than official positions. Although Dugu Daxue is the Shang Palace on the fifth grade, and Shi Bufan is only equivalent to the fifth grade, there is a big grade difference in the middle. However, this gap is much better than in the past, which was like the gap between the provincial and ministerial levels and the section level. However, now it is only a gap between the ministerial level and the deputy ministerial level, and it is not too big.

And Shi Bufan, this is a real title, even if there is not much income, it is also a title! A person with a knighthood cannot be measured simply by an official position of the same grade, so when Dugu Daxue and Shi Bufan get married, ordinary people will not think that they are married, they will be considered equal. The title is a big one, so it is basically equal, there is no one who is higher and who is lower, and everyone can avoid embarrassment. Otherwise, if there is no title, then going out and his wife will raise herself so much, not to mention that Shi Bufan is embarrassed, even Dugu Daxue is embarrassed.

"Okay, let's discuss the marriage, and then what date are you going to fix? What auspicious days do you have to choose from? Dugu Daxue asked.

Shi Bufan shook his head and said, "Okay, I don't believe this." But since you value it, it's up to you to choose! ”

However, it is obvious that Dugu Daxue is more familiar with these, because she is in charge of the affairs of the Shang Palace, and she is very familiar with these things in dealing with court etiquette, and she has been prepared for a long time.

"What do you think of next June?" Dugu Daxue asked.

"Next June? Why next June? Shi Bufan asked.

Shi Bufan feels that it is too late, and it will take a whole year to officially get married, is it too late? So it's a little difficult for Shi Bufan, because since the marriage contract has been set, it is natural to prepare it early, and there is no need to drag it so much.

But Dugu Daxue smiled bitterly and said: "You think that you are the only one who is in a hurry, and I am also in a hurry, but next June is already as early as possible, and it can't be any earlier." You should know that Ling Zun Lingtang just passed away in February last year, and according to filial piety, he should not be able to officially get married for twenty-seven months, that is, within twenty-seven months. It's only been sixteen months, that's eleven months left, and next May will be the day you can officially get married. But it's not good that you've just passed the filial piety period and get married right away, right? It's easy to criticize you for not being able to wait, so you have to delay it for another month, which is already very extreme and can't be sooner. ”

Shi Bufan only then realized that this filial piety is such a thing, although he doesn't have much affection for the parents of the deceased ontology, but he has to bear these for this ontology. When he crossed by himself, it was August of the eighth year of Wude, and at that time, his parents had passed away for half a year. And now it's only been sixteen months, and it's going to be eleven months away. But if you get married in a hurry just after the filial piety period, it looks too ugly, and this is not good. So if we continue to delay for another month, that is, it will be another twelve months before we can get married, which is already as early as possible.

Although Shi Bufan was in the capital of the developed region in later generations, there were very few ancient traditions of filial piety, and even although Shi Bufan knew that there was such a thing as filial piety, he didn't care about it in his bones. Especially in many cities in later generations, filial piety has completely disappeared, even if it is not suitable to get married after the death of parents, it is already great at most a year, and it is actually good to be able to delay marriage for half a year for the death of parents, and even many parents can get married within 100 days of death, there is no such a rule of keeping filial piety for 27 months.

But since he came to ancient times, he naturally understands the truth of survival of the fittest. Natural selection for the survival of the fittest is not only a biological science, but also a philosophical science, and Shi Bufan understands this. Therefore, he also chose to acquiesce.

"Wait a minute, you go and send some things over, you don't need to be too precious, just some rare things." Dugu Daxue said.

"What do you mean by sending it here?" Shi Bufan was a little confused.

"Give a bride price! To give a bride price can be regarded as a formal engagement, although the emperor makes a book, but some folk processes still need to be there. I also know that you are a nine-rank official, and you have no income for the title, so I don't need you to send much. At that time, the property you live in now will also be my dowry at that time, so that's it. It is impossible for the Dugu family to give me any dowry, and this property can be regarded as my dowry. Dugu Daxue said.

Only then did Shi Bufan realize that in ancient times, not only the man had a dowry, but also the woman had a dowry. It's just that in later generations, it is often the man who gives the dowry, but the woman rarely returns the dowry, especially in some places in the countryside, the dowry is even more crazy, not to mention that the woman will give the dowry back.

However, it is obviously impossible for the Dugu family to give Dugu Daxue any dowry, Dugu Kaiyuan is already almost about to hate Shi Bufan, and it is impossible to take the money to go to waste. However, the house that Shi Bufan lives in at present is actually attached to the name of Dugu Daxue, in fact, if you want to say that Shi Bufan is ethical, he is just temporarily living in the name of his fiancé. This house was actually blackmailed by Shi Bufan at that time, but now Li Shimin can't go back to the point where he has to go back, so this set of properties attached to Dugu Daxue's hand is also used as Dugu Daxue's dowry.

Of course, there is such a thing as a dowry, which is only for the wife, and even the husband and in-law have no right to interfere. Even after the death of the wife, the husband cannot swallow these dowries, which can only be inherited by the wife's own children, and even if the wife gives birth to daughters, they can only be inherited by her own daughters, and the children born to other women, including the husband, are not qualified to take over. This dowry belongs to the woman completely, and even if she is divorced or divorced, I can take it away.

"Alright, that's it!" Shi Bufan replied.

Soon, both parties also set a date to officially get married in June next year.
