Zhu Yuanfu paced back and forth in the room with his hands in his hands, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was teaching Zhu Peidun.

"The two families of Zhu Liu have been friends for nearly a hundred years, and after a hundred years of friendship precipitation, will they be bad because of a bad marriage? I will never believe that the root is still on the top of Zhu retreating and advancing in the past two years. ”

Zhu Pei nodded, "I heard my father say that the Zhu family's career has not been smooth in the past two years, which has greatly affected the status of the Zhu family, and the second grandfather is very anxious about it." ”

"Humph! That's his own stupidity, he went to hug Ding Wei's thigh in his early years, and he was branded with the mark of the Ding Party, if it weren't for the old love of the Son of Heaven for the concubine, he would have been degraded a long time ago.

The Zhu family's career in recent years has not been smooth or due to your second grandfather, his mother passed away, he should be worried for three years, he was impatient to come back after two years of filial piety, I advised him to wait another year, but he was worried that his opportunity was gone, although the Son of Heaven did not say anything, he must not like it in his heart, he was gradually not reused, and it was reasonable. ”

After a pause, Zhu Yuanfu said again: "The Zhu family's career is not smooth, and the Liu family is doing well because of hugging Zhang Yaozuo's thighs, Liu Yun has been promoted to the servant of the ministry, and the Liu family looks down on the Zhu family in their hearts, and wants to press the Zhu family from now on, becoming Liu Shang Zhu Xia, Liu Zhuo has not visited me once this year, thinking that I don't understand what he means, aren't you waiting for me to visit him?" ”

"So the Liu family insists on letting their granddaughter enter their Liu family, that's what it means?"

"It has always been the daughter of the Liu family who married to the Zhu family, and the daughter of the Zhu family married to the Liu family, this is the custom, if I marry you to the Liu family, the nature will change, when Liu Zhuo made this request, I refused, the Zhu and Liu families can break off their relationship, but the Zhu family must succumb to the Liu family and dream!"

"But the second grandfather succumbed."

Zhu Yuanfu couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, and said coldly: "He only cares about his own career and tries his best to please the Liu family, where did he consider the dignity of the Zhu family?" ”

..........

The second step in the six rites is to ask for the name, that is, the man's family will measure the fortune of both parties, if it is a good omen, then the third step is to formally propose and make this marriage.

Asking for a name is just a formality, there has never been a situation where the eight characters do not match, any fortune teller who receives money, will be greatly complimented, a match made in heaven, etc., so that the people of the Song Dynasty have directly skipped this step and saved a little fortune-telling money.

But the big eunuchs, this step is indispensable, Fan Tiezhou and Zhang Sanniang went to Lingyan Temple to ask the monks to test the eight characters of the two, of course, it is also a good fate of heaven and goodness.

Fan Tiezhou immediately performed the goose sacrifice ceremony, and personally sent it to Wujiang Zhu Mansion with gifts such as geese tied with colored silk and the fortune results of the monks of Lingyan Temple.

This is the third step in the six rites Najib, not only to tell the woman the result of the marriage made in heaven, but also to formally propose, once the Zhu family accepts the gift, the two sides exchange the post, that is, the proposal is successful, and the marriage is basically decided.

Of course, at this time, you can still regret it, both men and women want to see each other, the Song Dynasty is worthy of praise at this point, fully considering the wishes of both parties to the marriage, unlike the later Ming and Qing dynasties, the bride and groom have to wait until the night of the candle in the cave room to know what the other party looks like.

At this time, both parties thought that the other party was unsatisfactory, and clearly said that the man looked a little older, but now he looked completely a bad old man, and clearly said that the woman was a beautiful girl, but now she has become a female man, and either party can regret it if she is dissatisfied.

Moreover, the man has to compensate the woman for two pieces of silk, which is regarded as a mental loss fee.

If the man takes a fancy to the woman at this meeting, the man needs to take a golden hairpin and insert it into the woman's crown bun, which is called 'hairpin', which means that the man agrees, and the woman agrees to be much cheaper, just nod shyly.

It is precisely because Najib can regret it later, so Najib's wedding proposal should not be too expensive, otherwise disputes will easily occur.

In addition to the wild geese, the gifts sent by Fan Tiezhou also included a fixed post and a golden hairpin.

Zhu Pei and Fanning are very familiar with each other, they don't need to meet again, so they sent Jin Hai directly, the so-called fixed post is a statement of the situation, name, age, place of origin, how many acres of land the family has, how many rooms, how much savings, what kind of work I do, what position, how much salary, etc., must be explained clearly in the fixed post one by one.

The woman should write clearly how much the dowry is.

The people of the Song Dynasty are very real, marriage should not only consider the right family, but also consider the property situation, generally speaking, the man's fixed ceremony, dowry and financial gifts have rules, you can not write, but the woman's dowry must be written clearly.

This is the difference between the Song Dynasty and the present, the marriage of a daughter has to give a rich dowry, so the Song Dynasty has to suffer a little bit for giving birth to a daughter.

Fan Tiezhou came to Zhu's mansion and waited at the gate for a while, Zhu Yuanfu got the news and came out to greet him in person, and said with a smile: "Fan Yuanwai, rare guest!" ”

The current Fan Tiezhou is no longer the little doctor who just washed his feet and went ashore in the past, he is now very famous, and he has the rank of the sixth rank Xiao cavalry captain, and he is also the second senior member after the master of the Liu Courtyard in Mudu Town.

Fan Tiezhou hugged his fists and smiled: "Today is for Najib, I hope it will not cause trouble to the big officials." ”

"Where! Where! I've been waiting, please! Let's go to the living room to talk. ”

The two walked into the door of the house and came to the guest hall, and the housekeeper sent in the gifts brought by Fan Tiezhou, there were three main things, put them in three plates, one was a wild goose wrapped in colored silk, which was a necessary thing, followed by a golden hairpin, which was a gift of inserting hairpins.

All three are necessary wedding gifts, and the man's family can also give some other gifts, mainly to show sincerity.

In addition to the golden hairpin on the plate, there is also a very small silver lock, which is the longevity lock that Fanning brought when he was born, and it has been brought to the age of three, which is for Zhu Pei, and it is not a gift, but this silver lock expresses the sincerity of the Fan family for this marriage.

"This is Najib's gift, and I hope that Zhu Daguan will accept it."

Zhu Yuanfu smiled slightly, took out a thick booklet from his arms, and handed it to Fan Tiezhou, "This is my granddaughter's post, please accept it outside!" ”

Fan Tiezhou was taken aback, this post was at least half an inch thick, indicating that the woman's dowry would be extremely rich, and he hurriedly respectfully followed.

"Thank you Zhu Daguan for your love for the dog!"

Zhu Yuanfu sighed slightly, "The first time I saw A-Ning, I felt that he was different, and he actually shared the same table with Pei'er, this is fate!" To be honest, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. ”

Fan Tiezhou also smiled: "Humble Jing is especially fond of Ah Pei, and often says that if my family Ning'er can marry Zhu Pei, it will be a blessing that he has cultivated for eight lifetimes, so we have been looking forward to this marriage for a long time." ”

Zhu Yuanfu laughed, "Then it is called the agreement in the past life, and the marriage in this life, I hope that this marriage can make our two families truly become a family." ”

"That's for sure!"

Fan Tiezhou asked again: "I don't know if Zhu Pei's parents want to ......."

Zhu Yuanfu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't worry about Pei's parents, Ah Pei was brought up by me since she was a child, and I will decide her marriage, I have already agreed with Pei'er's parents on this point, and Ah Ning is a rare handsome talent in a century, and he has become the military and political chief of a state at a young age, opening up territory for the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the blessing of Pei'er's parents to get such a good son-in-law." ”

Fan Tiezhou put down his heart and said: "There is also the marriage period, and the big officials also know that A Ning is overseas and will serve in Kunzhou for three years, he said in his letter that he will return to Beijing in March next year to report on his work, can we take the opportunity of his return to Beijing to handle the marriage between the two." ”

Zhu Yuanfu nodded, "We want to go together!" ”

Zhu Yuanfu ordered the maid to call Zhu Pei again, and after a while, Zhu Pei walked into the guest hall quickly, and Zhu Yuanfu smiled: "This is Fan Ning's father, you should have seen it, give Fan Yuan a courtesy!" ”

Zhu Pei's face was full of shyness, and Ying Ying gave Fan Tiezhou a salute, "Pei'er has seen uncle!" ”

Fan Tiezhou saw that Zhu Pei was pretty and dignified, and he had the appearance of a prosperous man, he was happy in his heart, and hurriedly picked up the silver lock and handed it to her, "This is the longevity lock that my family A-Ning wore when she was a child, so I will hand it over to you for safekeeping!" ”

"Thank you, Uncle Fan!"

Zhu Pei's face turned even redder, and he timidly took the silver lock.

Zhu Yuanfu smiled again: "We will also move to Mudu Town in a few days, and everyone will be very close by then, and Apei will accompany A-Ning's mother when he has time." ”

Fan Tiezhou was overjoyed, "This is the best." ”

Juppé didn't dare to say more, so he bowed again and retired.

Fan Tiezhou saw that the time was not early, so he made an appointment with Zhu Yuanfu on the date of recruitment, that is, the date of the dowry.

The bride price of the man in the Song Dynasty should be given three gifts, which are called the next ceremony, the next wedding gift and the next financial gift, the next gift is generally the second day after the successful marriage proposal, send a jar of wine and eight-color silk silk, but the most important thing is the next dowry, once the woman's family accepts the dowry, the marriage is officially decided,

After the dowry, it is followed by the financial gift, and there is no time to be idle.

After the three ceremonies, it is time to welcome the relatives, but because their situation is relatively special and Fanning is overseas, they will finish the three ceremonies first, set the marriage, and wait for the wedding to be held at a later date.

Fan Tiezhou left Zhu's mansion, Zhu Yuanfu personally sent him on the boat, and just after Fan Tiezhou walked less than a mile, a fast boat came to him, and the people on the boat made Fan Tiezhou stunned for a moment.
