Ji Yu once heard people say that in the early years of modern society, some relatively remote places did not have the habit of getting a marriage certificate.

As long as they hold a banquet and invite neighbors, relatives and friends, the two will be considered married.

Even if the man and woman have been together for several years and have children, and they say that they want to divorce, it is only the woman who moves away from the man's house, and there is no such thing as going through the divorce procedures and dividing the property.

So she always thought that it was enough to worship heaven and earth in front of the people in the village and walk through the process.

Aunt Gao reminded her that it was far from enough.

First of all, you have to have a marriage certificate.

The marriage book is also known as the dragon and phoenix post and the mandarin duck gift book, which is divided into the main book and other books.

The main book is the marriage letter of the man's family requesting marriage and the marriage letter of the woman's family promising marriage, and the content is mostly some false words.

Such as the beginning of Jiali, the conclusion of good fate, the red rope is tied early, the white head is eternal, the poem Guan Ju, the song of the toe and so on.

The other book is the main part of the marriage book, which records the real situation of the man and the woman.

However, it was simplified a lot, and it was enough to write the family relationship of the newlyweds, the eight characters of the birthday, and the auspicious day and auspicious time of the salute.

Only when a marriage certificate is concluded can the relationship between husband and wife be recognized.

Ji Yu was dumbfounded when she heard this.

"But, isn't that the contract when we got married?"

After the marriage is confirmed by the matchmaker, the man and the woman sign the marriage letter. The written marriage letter should not only be left for the matchmaker to be used as evidence, but also distributed to both men and women for future marriage.

This link is indeed very important, but、But in a place like Dafeng Village, it's not so necessary, right?

Ji Yu selfishly wanted to omit this, because this thing seemed to have legal effect.

Why? Because even if the two parties sign a marriage contract, breaking the contract happens from time to time.

If the man breaks the contract, he only needs to explain to the government, and everything will be fine if he gives up the dowry, which is only some economic loss at best.

However, if the woman breaks the contract and the man sues the yamen, the official will still re-award the woman to the man without asking the reason for the marriage certificate.

In other words, once this thing is signed, the woman no longer has the right to break the contract.

Therefore, its legal effect seems to be only for women.

Ji Yu didn't want to put a tight spell on her head and put herself in a very disadvantageous position.

What's more, she and the homeless man are just acting, so there's no need to be so real.

"Aunt Gao, this can be omitted, in fact, we don't need these ...... in the countryside"

Aunt Gao shook her head, "In the early years, no one really cared about it, but since the fight against Pan Zhixian to our inauguration in Yeyang, this piece has suddenly been grasped." At first, no one took it seriously, and later the villages were called to the yamen to reprimand. When he came back, he struck the gong and summoned all the people in the village to the old banyan tree, and repeatedly stated that the marriage of men and women must go according to the rules, otherwise the fine will be small, and I am afraid that I will have to go to the yamen to be punished. ”

Ji Yu sighed, it turned out that she hadn't caught up with the good time, and she had no time to drill for her.

"You don't have to go to the yamen, right? In addition to the official marriage certificate, isn't there a private contract? ”

A private contract, also known as a civil marriage contract, is a marriage contract signed privately by a man and a woman through an intermediary matchmaker, and does not need to go to the yamen to handle it.

The attitude of successive dynasties towards private contracts varied, some did not recognize them, and some regarded them as valid certificates.

In fact, private covenants have always been prevalent, does that mean that she can also ......

"It's been abolished a long time ago, and the government has clearly stipulated that the marriage between the two surnames must go to the Yamen's department? The household department or the rite department came, and went to get the marriage certificate. It can be handled by the village on behalf of the village. ”

Ji Yu was instantly sad.

The trouble is second, the key homeless man is a black household.

Aunt Gao said again, this has to be solved by Lizheng.

Well, let's go find it.

Meng Lizheng didn't expect Ji Yu to come to him.

To be honest, his feelings for Ji Yu are a little complicated now.

However, he is complicated, and there are not too many bad ingredients.

After all, at the beginning of the year, when he was raising food for disaster relief, Ji Yu had helped him a lot with ideas, and he was appreciated by the county for this, and he read this well.

The reason why it's complicated is because of Song Jing and her rumors.

He never thought that Song Jing would like Ji Yu, and he was rejected.

This is a ...... How embarrassing, even his uncle is embarrassed.

Ji Yu suddenly came to the door today, and he thought it was for Song Jing.

I thought to myself, is this regretful, enlightened, and changed my mind to agree?

It's a pity that a few days late, Song Jing has already married someone else, didn't she hear the news?

Alas, counting it up, he and Ji Yu are also suffering from the same disease, and they are destined to be the one who was left behind......

"You sit."

Meng Li was pointing to the bench next to Ji Yu.

was thinking about how to inform Ji Yu of this cruel fact, and Ji Yu told her intention straight to the point.

Meng Li was about to hit the bench with his buttocks, and when he heard this, he sat off for a moment, and fell on his back with a pop.

Ji Yu couldn't watch it either, so she stepped forward and grabbed him.

Meng Li was getting up, and he didn't bother to pat the ashes, so he glared at the two of them and asked, "You just said...... You repeat? ”

Ji Yu had to repeat it again.

"You—You're going to recruit you? Recruit that homeless man? ”

Ji Yu nodded, "It's him, I heard that someone said that they were going to ask you for a marriage certificate, and there was also a homeless man's household registration, you see ......"

Meng Li was dumbfounded.

He felt that either his ears were not good, or Ji Yu was crazy.

"Are you serious?"

Ji Yu frowned, "Uncle Lizheng, you and I have nothing to do, come here to tell you a joke." ”

"That's not ......" Meng Li coughed a few times, bent down to help the stool up, and sat down with one hand on the surface of the stool, "You sit, you sit too." ”

After Ji Yu sat down as she said, Meng Li was asking his little grandson to bring the cigarette pouch.

He has been worried a lot recently, on the day of Song Jing's wedding, he was stabbed by the Song clan and was not happy, and when he came back, he quarreled with his mother-in-law, and his mother-in-law was angry and returned to his parents' house, and his sons and daughters-in-law did not dare to come to him.

Sad, take a few puffs to relax your mood.

Ji Yu saw that Meng Li was putting on a contemplative expression and began to swallow the clouds, and she had a little headache.

She really couldn't get used to the smell of this dry tobacco leaf, and felt very choking, so she urged, "Uncle Lizheng, do you have a way?" If the household registration can't be settled, then is it okay not to apply for a marriage certificate first, and then reapply for it after two years? ”

Two years later, the homeless man has already become a missing person, and there is no need to do it.

Meng Lizheng finally finished his contemplation and exhaled the smoke from his mouth before speaking.

"No marriage certificate is impossible. As for household registration...... If a displaced person wants to settle in the local area, he or she does need to be at least three years old. But it's not without exceptions, and you just fit the bill. ”

With a bang, Ji Yu's dream was shattered.
