Chapter Ninety-Eight: Three Books and Six Rituals
Du Jun was a little panicked, the sky was already dark, it was estimated that the city gate in the county was about to close, could Song Jiang still go back?
Song Jiang also found out about this problem and wiped the sweat on his face, "It's not early, I'll go back first." After saying that, he was going to go out and say goodbye.
Du Jun grabbed it, "My mother has already done it for you, let's eat here and talk about it." And now that the gates are closed, where are you going? It's really not good, just stay at home, there is still a room for you. ”
Song Jiang was a little embarrassed, "Wouldn't that be bad, after all, we haven't gotten married yet!" I'm a headhunter, and the gates will be opened for me, so you don't have to worry about that. ”
"Who said I was worried about you? After eating, it is estimated that my mother will find you something, and I will send someone to send you back when it is late. ”
Seeing his thoughts, Du Jun was a little depressed, dropped this sentence, turned around and went out, and fetched water for Song Jiang to wash his face.
I was in a panic, I was really worried that he wouldn't be able to go back just now, so I couldn't say it clearly! I'm not worried about you, you fool.
Song Jiang, who stayed in the hall, looked confused, what's wrong? Am I saying the wrong thing?
Until Du Jun brought him water and asked him to wash his face, he didn't react.
The woman's heart is needled, and she doesn't blame Song Jiang for being confused.
Zheng and Aunt Liu used their strength to eat milk, and in less than an hour, sixteen dishes filled the entire table.
"Song Zhutou, knowing that you are alone in Anxian County, and you usually take care of everyone, and you don't know what you like to eat, so you make more, what you like to eat, just tell your aunt, and I will make it for you separately in the future."
Zheng looked at Song Jiang opposite, how to look at how handsome he was, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became.
Facing a table of women, Song Jiangxiao's face stiffened, Du Jun's family was too enthusiastic, the dishes in front of him had never been broken, and it was difficult to refuse, and the food was a little supportive.
"Yes, brother-in-law, what do you want to eat, just tell my mother, these are all raised by ourselves, and they don't cost money", as he spoke, Zhao Xiu sandwiched another chicken leg and put it on the plate in front of Song Jiang, "It's just that there is no beef today, my sister's specialty dish, you didn't eat it, wait for the next time, let my sister make it for you, right, eldest sister?" ”
Zhao Xiu turned to Du Jun and asked.
It's you who want to eat it yourself, this girl, and she still uses Song Jiang as an excuse.
Seeing Song Jiang looking at the food in front of him with an embarrassed face, Du Jun also had a headache for his family's enthusiasm, and hurriedly said to Zheng: "Mother, it's not too early, it's not good for Song Jiang to go back too late, don't you still have something to discuss with him?" ”
Song Jiang also hurriedly continued: "Auntie, I don't know what's going on? ”
Don't let him eat it again, he has a big appetite, and he can't stand so many people feeding him!
Zheng looked at Song Jiang with a smile, "It's not a big deal, you will come to my room with the gentleman in a while, and I have something to ask for something." ”
Finally survived this dinner, Song Jiang was led by Du Jun to Zheng's room.
Du Jun, who knew it, made tea for the two of them and went out.
Marrying in ancient times is different from modern times, there are troubles in it, Du Jun doesn't understand these processes, and he is self-aware, so let Zheng and Song Jiang worry about it.
How the two talked in the house, Du Jun didn't know, but when Song Jiang came out, his face was flushed, his eyes flashed, what did his mother tell him?
Du Jun didn't keep it anymore, and sent someone to carry a lantern to send Song Jiang to the gate of the city.
When I turned back, I saw Zheng standing at the door of the house with a happy face, waiting for her.
"Gentleman, come here, my mother has something to tell you."
"It's the wedding date! That day? "You don't have to guess to know what Zheng wants to say.
"You girl, how can you settle down so quickly, tomorrow Song Jiang will invite the matchmaker to come over and ask for the name, and then there will be Najib, Najib, Nazheng, please date, and finally you can welcome in person, and there are three books, a letter of appointment, a letter of ceremony and a letter of welcome. When the three books and six ceremonies are complete, it is time for you to get married. ”
These words of the Zheng family, these were all put forward by Song Jiang, and he bluntly said that he could not wronged Du Jun. I didn't expect Song Jiang to value Du Jun so much, while Zheng was really happy for his daughter, he also felt that his daughter was really going to get married, and she would be someone else's daughter-in-law in the future.
"My mother also has to prepare three shops and three covers for you, jewelry and clothes, house ornaments, furniture, you also have to have snacks, your wedding dress, Song Jiang's shoes and socks, middle clothes, in-laws' purse, and insoles must be made by yourself, representing the bride's dexterity, these are not allowed to find others to do it for you."
is still a girl's life, and she has a husband who loves her.
When I got married, not to mention the three books and six ceremonies, the two families just made up their minds verbally, and they didn't even have a matchmaker, so they got married, and the dowry was a silver hairpin.
Now that the daughter is capable, although the time is tighter, the dowry must be richer.
Hearing Zheng's nagging, Du Jun's head is big, and he has to make his own wedding dress, is there still embroidery on it?
"Mother, I don't want to get married!" Du Jun's face is loveless, and the marriage is too troublesome.
"You stupid girl, this is Song Jiang who takes a fancy to you, don't be ignorant, hurry up and go back and think about it, make a list of the things that my mother told you, and let Zhao Yan buy them back quickly."
Zheng turned around and was about to leave, this dead girl, if she talked to her again, she had to be angry.
"Mother!"
"Don't call me mother, and you ask Song Jiang, how much higher is that happy bed, hurry up and find Tong Yue to make it."
Just after the next day, the county government's Wang matchmaker came to the farm with small steps.
Because Song Jiang and Du Jun had already completed their family affairs in private before, this time the matchmaker came over to go through the motions.
Mrs. Wang herself also knows it, and she is also willing to push the boat down the river, she doesn't have to worry about marriage, and Xie Matchmaker has a lot of money, such a good thing is not every day.
Nacai is intended for the man to ask the woman's parents for their opinions to see if there is any intention of marriage.
If the woman's family does not object to this family business, the man will ask the matchmaker to come to the door and unload the woman's age, name, and birthday on the Geng post to invite her back, which is to 'ask for a name'.
After the man retrieves the woman's name and eight characters, he must perform divination in front of the ancestral spiritual seat. Bu is auspicious, and then put Geng in front of the ancestors to worship for a few days, to see if there is anything ominous happening, if everything goes well, then prepare a ceremony to notify the woman, decide to conclude a marriage. This is "Najib" and is submitted to the letter of appointment.
The next step is to "accept the levy", the man orders someone to bring the dowry to the woman's house to formally propose, which is commonly known as the next engagement or engagement, and bring the gift book.
Only after the levy has passed, can the two family affairs really be decided, not only recognized by the people, but also legally binding, and no one is allowed to break the contract without authorization.
After that, after the "invitation period", that is, the parties agree on the date of marriage.
"Welcome" means that the man marries the woman into the door and brings the welcome book to the woman, and at this point, the daughter-in-law can be regarded as really marrying back.
From the beginning to the end, there is nothing about the bride and groom, and the elders and matchmakers dominate everything.
