Chapter 183: Marriage Proposal
The dowry was roughly decided, and Wei Fu was also a matter of mind.
When the family sat down and chatted after dinner, Wei Fu looked at Brother Tao and said, "Brother Tao, I want to send a dowry to the Shen family, I have already discussed it with your father, although there are still a few months before the wedding, but the six ceremonies have not yet passed, we can't be so rude all the time, pick a good day in the near future, you go to the Shen family to propose marriage first." ”
Brother Tao paused slightly, and then nodded silently.
Wei Fu did not delay, and on the second day, he turned over the yellow calendar.
The most recent good day was on May 16, and early in the morning, Tao Ge'er packed up and went to Shen's house with a pair of geese he hunted that day, along with the official media invited by the Guogong Mansion.
Brother Tao has never liked to go out, so there are not many people who know him, but no matter how many, when Brother Tao came to the door of Shen's house, and he was carrying a pair of geese, it was enough for people to guess his identity.
Because the Zhenguo Mansion had informed the Shen family in advance after setting the date for the proposal, as soon as Tao Ge'er arrived, the porter immediately reported to the inside, and after a while, someone led Tao Ge'er into to see Shen Cong and Yu.
Today is not the day when Shen Cong rests, he deliberately took leave from Shangfeng, and waited for Brother Tao to come to the door to propose.
Shen Cong and the Yu family both knew that the marriage with the Guogong Mansion was not up to them, as long as the Guogong Mansion did not regret it, then this marriage was a certainty.
In this case, Shen Jun will definitely marry to the Zhenguo Mansion anyway, even if it is for Shen Jun's life in the Guogong Mansion to be better in the future, their attitude towards Tao Ge'er cannot be bad.
Compared to Shen Jun's future situation, it's just a leave of absence from Shangfeng, what is it?
In short, Shen Cong and the Yu family never thought of embarrassing Brother Tao, and they did not have the attitude of their future father-in-law and mother-in-law towards their hairy feet and son-in-law.
And the official media invited by the Guogong Mansion is obviously a well-spoken person, and he already knew what kind of temperament Tao Ge'er was before he came, so he didn't expect Tao Ge'er to say a few more words, and then smiled and saluted Shen Cong and Yu, "Congratulations to Lord Shen and Mrs. Shen, the prince of Zhenguo came to propose marriage to the daughter of the mansion, it is really gratifying!" ”
When the official media spoke, Tao Ge'er also silently saluted Shen Cong and Yu, and sent a pair of live geese to him.
Seeing the pair of geese, Shen Cong and Yu's faces looked better.
Because live geese are rare, if you completely follow the ancient rites, you have to use five geese to get married.
If you are more particular, you will send a pair of live geese to propose.
Even though they had already known that Brother Tao had hunted a pair of geese, looking at the pair of geese in front of them at this moment, Shen Cong and Yu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At least......
This can also show that for this marriage with Shen Jun, the prince of Zhenguo attaches great importance to it.
In this way, maybe, after Shen Jun marries, he won't have a hard time as they think?
Because of this thought, Shen Cong and Yu's attitude after that was even more relaxed.
In such an atmosphere, Tao Ge'er's proposal this time can barely be regarded as a great joy.
Tao Ge'er's proposal was not hidden, but in just two or three days, the marriage of the two families was already on the agenda, and many people knew about it.
This also made everyone's eyes different when they looked at the Shen family again.
Although the girl of the Shen family and the prince of Zhenguo decided to have a relationship early, but a few years have passed, but the two families have not moved, and the Guogong Mansion does not regard the Shen family as a future in-law, so some people who have been envious and jealous of the fact that the Shen family can actually do family affairs with the Zhenguo Mansion in the past few years have been gossiping behind their backs.
Even, many people are still waiting to secretly watch the jokes, just waiting for Shen Jun and Brother Tao to withdraw from each other, and then satirize the Shen family.
But now, the prince of Zhenguo really went to propose marriage, and it was a pair of geese.
Just by looking at this pair of geese, you can know that the prince of Zhenguo and the Zhenguo Mansion attach importance to this marriage, and this is enough to shut up those who are waiting to see the joke.
Not only these people, but Shen Cong could clearly feel that his superiors had treated him very gently in the past few days.
Rectify the cause......
It's just because he really wants to become the father-in-law of the prince of Zhenguo.
Shen Cong was not happy about this, but sighed.
Compared with these, he hopes that his daughter can marry a son of an ordinary family, and it also saves him from worrying about his daughter's marriage from time to time.
Now, he can only secretly pray that the prince of Zhenguo can treat his daughter well.
*
Because the marriage date of the two families has already been set, and the wedding date is the invitation period of six ceremonies and five times, so after the marriage proposal, the follow-up questioning, Najib, and Nazheng were all completed in just half a month.
If before, outsiders only saw a little that the Zhenguo Mansion was not as contemptuous as they thought, on the contrary, they attached great importance to it, then when they saw the dowry gifts sent to the Shen family by the Zhenguo Mansion at the time of recruitment, such attention was not just speculation, but was clearly seen by everyone.
Suddenly, Shen Jun, who was originally regarded as a joke, became the object of envy and jealousy of many people.
After giving the dowry gift, it is time to invite, and at this point, the two families have finally made up for the missing gifts.
Next, just wait for the newlyweds to marry on the tenth day of October.
Wei Fu can finally breathe a sigh of relief for a while.
There are still four months left before the wedding date, so there is still plenty of time to prepare slowly.
In the blink of an eye, the time has entered June.
The third day of the sixth month is the Qianqiu of the Queen Fang, according to the custom, the day of the Queen's Qianqiu, the Holy is to set up a banquet to entertain the ministers, not only the ministers will enter the palace to congratulate the Empress Qianqiu, that is, the wives of all grades, will also enter the palace on this day to meet the queen, celebrate the queen's birthday at the same time, will also participate in the Qianqiu banquet organized by the queen herself.
The queen's Qianqiu banquet is naturally very famous in the capital.
Just because, this is not just a banquet for the queen to celebrate her birthday, the most important thing is that at the queen's thousand autumn banquet, the wives will bring their unmarried daughters in their families, in fact, it is to give the young ladies of each family a chance to show their talents.
It is said that over the years, after participating in the Qianqiu banquet, many young ladies from various provinces have quickly set up marriages, and they are all set to be good relatives.
It is precisely because of this that the queen's Qianqiu banquet has always been highly anticipated by the wives of various prefectures.
