Cai Yong had heard that Dong Zhuo had sent Li Ru to personally come to the door and ask Zheng Tai, Dong Shouye's teacher, to be a matchmaker.

Today is the day to make an appointment to come to the door to propose marriage, and Cai Yong did not dare to slack off, and personally went to the door of the house to greet Zheng Tai.

After Zheng Tai saw Cai Yong, he saluted Cai Yong and said, "Brother Bokai, congratulations!" ”

Cai Yong felt bitter when he heard this, but he couldn't express it, so he forcibly returned the salute to Zheng Tai, and said: "Brother Gongye, rejoice and rejoice!" ”

Zheng Tai smiled when he heard this, and said: "Brother Bokai is reasonable, this time the apprentice won the first place in Caifu's recruitment of relatives, and he became famous as a Beijing teacher, and I, as a teacher, also have a bright face!" ”

The two brothers are also acquaintances, and after being polite in front of the mansion, they entered the mansion to discuss business.

After the guests and hosts sat down, Cai Yong and Zheng Tai began to discuss specific matters and set up family affairs.

In ancient times, there were "six ceremonies" for marriage, which were: one Nacai, two asking for names, three Naji, four Naji, five inviting periods, and six welcoming relatives.

The marriage between Dong Shouye and Cai Yan was promised in front of everyone, but according to etiquette, the six steps of marriage have to go down step by step.

Of course, Cai Yong is full of promises, and it won't work if he doesn't agree!

After Zheng Tai received Cai Yong's affirmative reply, he returned and sent it to Cai's mansion on a certain day with a dowry mainly of wild geese.

Then, Zheng Tai went to the door again to check the birthdays of both men and women, and asked Bu Ji to be the murderer, which is called asking for a name.

Then, after determining the good fortune and evil, prepare a gift and inform the other party that it is the marriage that is being concluded, which is called Najib.

And then there is the favorite part of modern people, gift-giving, which is the signage.

And then there's the deadline.

At the time of the acceptance, Zheng Tai went to Cai Yong's house in person.

Zheng Tai opened his mouth and asked, "Brother Bokai, I don't know what your opinion is about the marriage date?" ”

When Cai Yong heard this, his heart was bitter again, and he said: "There are no requirements at this time, I don't know what the Taishi side said?" ”

In fact, things have come to this point now, Cai Yong said that nothing would work, and everything depended on Dong Zhuo's meaning. If Dong Zhuo gives Cai Yong some face, then many things will be discussed, as long as he does not regret the marriage; If Dong Zhuo doesn't give Cai Yong face, then Cai Yong won't be able to do anything.

Cai Yong is also an old man, although he is a hundred unwilling in his heart, he doesn't dare to find himself unhappy.

As soon as Zheng Tai heard Cai Yong's words, he smiled, everyone is a smart person, it's good to know, and there is no need to break it, so he opened his mouth and said: "Brother Bokai, Master Dong is occasionally feeling cold at the moment, and your body is sick, and it will take a while to recover." It's already early November, and if you get married before the end of this year, I'm afraid it will be a little hasty. Therefore, the Taishi wanted to arrange the wedding after the New Year, but I don't know what Brother Bo Kai thinks. ”

When Cai Yong heard this, he knew that this was Dong Zhuo giving himself face, putting the wedding date after the New Year's Pass, and then he would be a donkey down the slope, and he would go down the steps given by Dong Zhuo, and agree to Dong Zhuo's arrangements in terms of the wedding date.

Whether it is the current custom or the ancient custom, the man's parents always hope to get married before the year, and the new daughter-in-law will be brought in before the year, so that the new daughter-in-law can celebrate the New Year at home; The woman's parents hope to get married after the year, so that their daughter can marry at home for one more New Year.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo's consideration of the marriage period is more to take care of Cai Yong's feelings.

What made Dong Shouye very depressed was that since he met Cai Yan when he recruited relatives that day, he had never seen Cai Yan again.

As a new youth in the 21st century, how can Dong Shouye stand this kind of thing? This is about to get married, and he won't even let his future bride see it, and this is okay. This guy wanted to go to Cai's Mansion to see Cai Yan many times, but he was stopped by someone.

In this regard, Dong Shouye was helpless.

If Dong Shouye forcibly went to Cai's mansion, Cai Yan's reputation would be ruined, and no one wanted to see such a situation. Here some people will say why Lu Bu had a private meeting with Diao Chan in the romance, and Dong Zhuo had also seen Diao Chan before collecting Diao Chan. Let me explain here once again that Diao Chan's identity cannot be compared with Cai Yan.

In fact, it is very simple, whether Diao Chan has followed Lu Bu or Dong Zhuo, her status is just a concubine, and it is absolutely impossible to be the lady of the main room. Even Lu Bu, who has always loved this Diao Chan, when Xuzhou City was about to fall, it was his wife who had been by his side, and Lu Bu would discuss with his wife about big and small things, and we had never seen Lu Bu discuss anything with Diao Chan.

For thousands of years in China, a man has only one wife, and her sacred status is unshakable. Even the emperor of a country would not dare to say that if he divorced his wife, he would divorce his wife, and if he didn't make it, there would be a big mess.

And the concubine is a man's plaything many times. Diao Chan was born as a dancer, Wang Yun can give her to Lu Bu, and he can give him to Dong Zhuo, all of which are very casual. In the Tang and Song dynasties, it was very popular to give their concubines to others, and even when guests came to the house, they also let the concubines sleep with the guests and entertain VIPs.

And I haven't heard of anyone who dares to take out his wife to entertain others. In history, Cai Yan had a miserable life and experienced three husbands, Wei Zhongdao, Zuo Xianwang, and Dong Ci. But Cai Yan is all saved as a wife, and her status is definitely not low.

After the wedding date was set, Dong Shouye also collected his thoughts and prepared for marriage, and at the same time continued to strengthen the training of the army and make some arrangements, just in case.

At the same time, he waited by Dong Zhuo's side every day and did his filial piety.

This is not Dong Shouye's pretentiousness, or to show others, but to take care of Dong Zhuo sincerely and do his duty as a son by Dong Zhuo's side.

If you want to say who is the best for Dong Shouye in this world, there is no doubt that it is Dong Zhuo, and Dong Shouye only has Dong Zhuo's relatives.

Even if it is a soul crossing, but the family affection in the blood is inseparable, Dong Shouye is flowing with Dong Zhuo's blood, and the attraction in the blood makes Dong Shouye involuntarily want to get close to Dong Zhuo and get close to Dong Zhuo, which no one can stop.

After getting along for a period of time, Dong Shouye has already regarded Dong Zhuo as his father, just like the father in later generations.

It has nothing to do with emotion, nothing to do with morality, this is the most primitive emotion.

The crow feeds back, and the lamb kneels, at this time a primitive instinct.

Dong Shouye watched his father Dong Zhuo recover day by day under his care, and his mood became better and better, and Dong Shouye's originally tense heart gradually stabilized.

Just when Dong Zhuo and Dong Shouye were enjoying the joy of family because of their illness, a bad news suddenly came, which made the originally peaceful Taishi Mansion regenerate a trace of turmoil.

What exactly is the message, and listen to the next breakdown.
