Chapter 401: Three Books and Six Rites
"Look at you, how much did you drink?" Liu covered his nose in disgust, "I want to vomit when I smoke it!" ”
Du Heqing has drunk sobering tea, and his mind is still very sober at this time. His amount of alcohol was already good, and the wine Yang Zheng brought was really not good, so although he drank a lot, he was not drunk.
"I'll go wash it, you don't have to worry about me, you go to sleep first!" Du He Qingle went outside, took the kettle from the stove, mixed it with warm water, cleaned himself up again, and changed his clothes.
"Daughter-in-law, is it better this time?"
Liu pushed him, "Hurry up and sleep, don't be afraid of the cold." ”
Du Heqing replied and got into the bed.
"Oh, I'm so happy today!" Du Heqing sighed, "You said that our daughter, it's time to get married in a blink of an eye." ”
Liu is also thinking about this! She's past the first trimester, so her drowsiness has gotten better! At this time, because of the family matter related to Du Yuniang, the whole person is also very energetic and not sleepy.
"His father, what did Yang Zheng tell you today? I listened to a few words in the room, but I didn't hear them all. ”
Du Heqing turned over, turned his face to Liu's side, and then said: "Yang Zheng said that in two days, he will find a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, and go through the motions." ”
This kind of thing, the two families know it well, and the matchmaker goes through the motions, and it's not easy to talk to the outside world.
"What's the matter with his stepfather?"
"Oh, father-in-law! Yang Zheng's father-in-law ...... "After drinking wine, his thinking couldn't keep up, Du Heqing thought about it for a while, and then said: "His father-in-law is a very reasonable person, with a prominent family background, compared to ordinary people like us, how to say the status of his father-in-law!" It's a bit of a high-mindedness! ”
When Liu heard this, he couldn't help but be worried.
Du Heqing said again: "This is not what Yang Zheng said, I guessed it!" ”
"Then, will his stepfather disagree with Yu Niang and Yang Zheng's affairs?"
"No, that's his stepfather, not his biological father! And I heard that Yang Zheng saved him inadvertently, and the two of them got married. Presumably, his stepfather also wants to take care of him more through the relationship between his father-in-law and son. Yang Zheng himself is willing to do this, how can he be reluctant? Besides, if you want to oppose it, you can still let Yang Zheng propose marriage? ”
Hearing him say this, Liu Shi finally let go of his heart, and then asked, "Then, did you two say anything else?" After talking all afternoon, you can't just talk about such a thing, right? ”
"Ouch, boy, ask me if I have any requirements for a dowry! Hehe, do you think he's stupid or not? "Although it is said that matchmaking is a process, where can I ask in person about such a dowry?
Liu also smiled, "It's stupid!" What do you say? ”
"I said, I hope that Yu Niang will marry a good person, and I don't want her to climb high branches!" Du Heqing blinked his eyes, full of complicated emotions.
On the one hand, the girl has grown up, and it is time to get married, and he is happy.
But at the same time, the daughter he raised was about to become someone else's daughter-in-law, and he was a little sad.
In any case, there are more joys than sadness.
"I also said, pretty much fine, but not too low. What about our jade girl, how can you say that she is also a girl who stands out, right? Besides, no matter how much dowry he makes, I will bring it back to Yu Niang! ”
Liu nodded, "Yes, bring it back to the children." ”
"I think Yang Zheng's side, I'm afraid it's also tight! He's a clean house, right? Haven't all the money earned over the years been filled into his family? Du Heqing didn't know much about Yang Zheng's family, but he also knew that he was out of the house. And in order to cut off the family cleanly, he also took out five hundred taels of silver.
That's not a small amount, now the Du family's business is so good, if you want to save up to five hundred taels of silver, you have to use two years younger!
Yang Zheng bought a house in the town, which is another large amount of money.
Du He's liquidation came and went, and he always felt that the money in Yang Zheng's hand was not very abundant.
"I said eighty-eight taels is fine, if he is not enough, let's secretly get some for him, so as to save the child's face."
Liu thought more than Du Heqing, "His father-in-law came forward, didn't he also mean to help him?" ”
Du Heqing thought for a moment, "Who knows!" Oops, forget it, it's useless to think so much now, go to sleep! "He was really sleepy, and the wine came up.
Liu Shi replied vaguely and slowly fell asleep.
Within a few days, the matchmaker Yang Zheng was looking for really came to the door.
The iceman in the yamen is much more reliable than the country matchmaker! These people are holding iron rice bowls, and their professional ethics are several grades higher than that of matchmakers, otherwise, how can people call them official media!
The official media speaks more truthfully, will not deceive, and there are few official media to do that kind of deception on both sides, but the official media charges quite high, and ordinary people can't afford to hire it, which has prompted the rural matchmaker industry to flourish.
The official media came to say goodbye, that is, to make a shake, the Du family and Yang Zheng had already tacitly understood it, so the matchmaker or something was really just a formality.
But the three books and six rituals must still be implemented seriously! This is the rule set by our ancestors!
When he was picking, Yang Zheng really sent geese, and they were still alive!
The wild goose is a loyal bird, which is a metaphor for choosing a mate in a lifetime, and the white head is not separated, which is an excellent meaning. Wild geese are not easy to get, especially in this season, it is difficult to catch wild geese, but I didn't expect Yang Zheng to do it.
After Du Heqing looked at the pair of lively geese, the corners of his mouth kept rising, thinking that Yang Zheng took Yu Niang very seriously, otherwise it would be impossible to go to great lengths to catch a pair of live geese.
In addition to the wild geese, Yang Zheng also sent good tea, shochu, silk and jewelry for Du Yuniang.
The Du family naturally had nothing to do, and then took out Du Yuniang's birthday and brought it to Yang Zheng, and then, the two sides exchanged Geng stickers.
Then came Najib, who placed the stickers in front of the shrine and asked for good luck.
This step is also useless for Yang Zheng and Du Yuniang. Ordinary people look at each other's relatives, they will always inquire about the temperament of both parties in advance, and it has reached the point of saying that they are close, if something terrible does not happen, Najib's step is very good.
After Najib, it's time to take the levy. In the countryside, Na Zheng is also called a big gift, which is a very easy to understand name. To put it bluntly, at this time, it is time for the man to give the dowry.
There are a lot of exquisiteness in giving dowry gifts! The man must invite two female elders, and they must also be Quanfu people, make an appointment with a matchmaker, bring a dowry, a dowry, and a gift money to the woman's home. And the woman's side also needs to return the gift.
Yang Zheng is now alone, and it is indeed a little difficult for him to send Quanfu people to give dowry gifts. But I don't know where Yang Zheng found two relatives, but they are really blessed people, and he gave the dowry gift properly. Please pay attention to the latest chapters in the future
