After a bumpy ride, she sorted out her mood and returned to Zhao's house. Zhao Xibao's legs, before he stretched out the carriage, heard his mother's voice at the door: "My heart, you are finally back, my mother thought that you were going to leave us and become a nun." ”

Don't think this is an exaggeration, when he was very young, Zhao Xibao was clamoring to go into the mountains to be a nun, and he didn't want to pay attention to all trivial matters.

Later, after the Zhong family's affair, his daughter's temperament became more and more elegant. Others think it's a good thing, and praise the daughter of the Zhao family for her temperament. The Zhao family was very worried, for fear that she would not figure it out, leave the world, and go to be a sister-in-law.

Zhao Xibao jumped out of the carriage, looked at the eldest brother with a straight face, and the second brother who squeezed his eyebrows at her, and hugged his mother comfortingly. "Where's Daddy? Gone out to talk about business? Why didn't you see him? ”

The second brother said solemnly: "The girl is not staying, Daddy, he will buy a dowry for you." ”

Since the day Zhao Xibao returned home, she was forced by her eldest brother to learn wedding etiquette to prevent her from doing anything inconsistent with etiquette. She held the "Book of Rites" and shook her head and muttered. "Those who bow will merge the two surnames, go up to the temple, and go down to the future generations, so the gentleman is important. It is to dusk Nacai, ask for the name, Najib, Nazheng, please period, all the master feast a few in the temple, and greet outside the door, enter, let and rise, obey the orders of the temple, so respect and prudence is dusk also. ”

Zhao Xibao snorted, chewed the words, and Rory was wordy. Isn't it what the "Etiquette" says, Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, inviting dates, and greeting in person.

Nacai is commonly known as "fixed marriage". That is, when the children get married, the man's parents ask the matchmaker to propose to the woman who is looking for a good marriage. When the man is collecting, he needs to give the woman about 30 kinds of gifts with auspicious significance.

Hey, she seems to have this too. No wonder there are so many little mascots in the room. I thought her dad bought it for her and let her play with it.

It seems that King Ning did not directly use the royal customs, but used the most solemn three books and six ceremonies of the people to marry.

Presumably, "sheng geng" was also carried out, that is, asking for names, commonly known as "eight characters". After the woman agrees with the man's proposal, the woman's parents write the daughter's name, ranking, and birth date on the red post and bring it back to the man.

Swap "Geng stickers" (age, birthday) pressed on the bottom of the teacup in front of the statue of the god of the stove to measure the divine will. If there is no "abnormal" situation such as broken bowls, rancid meals, quarrelsome family members, and uneasy cats and dogs at home within three days, please ask the fortune teller to "line up the eight characters" to see if the Nian Geng is compatible and whether the zodiac is compatible.

If it's too peaceful, it's the eight characters that are combined. The co-ordinator chooses a date to send the proposal post, otherwise the "Geng post" must be returned to the woman.

Many people believe that six years of big chong and three years of small chong; Men marry at a double age, and women do not marry at nineteen; It is said that chickens and dogs (chickens and dogs are not in harmony), dragons and tigers (dragons and tigers fight), tigers and sheep (sheep fall into the tiger's mouth), snakes and rats (snakes and rats) are difficult to match.

For example, the second brother's relationship with Miss Zhou Fuchang was not completed this year because of the age of the two. The second brother is twenty-three, and Miss Zhou is nineteen years old this year, so she is delayed for a year.

In the Etiquette. Shi Dusk Ceremony", Najib is also known as "Guo Wending": "Return to the temple, get good signs, and reply to the messenger to report." ”

That is, after the man asks the name, if the result is auspicious, the two parties do not rush to each other, and at the same time report the good news to the woman, the marriage is preliminarily agreed, which is commonly known as "engagement".

One of the most critical of the six rites is to pay for the levy, also known as "Na Yuan", which is recorded in the book: "Levy, Cheng Ye, so that the messenger can pay the money to make a wedding." The matchmaker will give the woman a dowry, dowry, and gift money to make the wedding, so it is commonly known as "complete engagement", and the woman needs to return the gift. After the recruitment, the man and woman enter the formal preparation stage.

It is precisely because of the importance of the link that the Zhao family has been busy with chickens and dogs in the past two days.

When the pearl in the palm of her hand is married, she can't wait to pack up and send the whole house over, lest she have a bad life after she gets married. Zhao Xibao flipped through the book backwards, what else, begging for a day, welcoming relatives, and looking at the dowry.

Reading is boring, so let's go to Yue Bao Pavilion to play. After all, who would dislike a little money and a lot of money?

Yue Bao Pavilion is up and down, and it is also very busy. After all, it is the owner who is married, and the good jewelry and jade on Yuebao Pavilion, as well as antique paintings, must all be carefully selected.

The neglected proprietor had no choice but to swing the Yuqing fan and run to the restaurant to listen to the news to pass the time.

"You all know that our Miss Zhao is about to get married. The lord instructed that this month, anyone who comes to the restaurant for a banquet will not accept cash, and everyone will be invited to a wedding banquet for free. The right is for the Zhao family to thank you for your care of the Zhao family's business over the years. ”

When this word came out, the restaurant was blessed and envious.

"I have a custom that when my daughter gets married, the more banquets you invite, the more blessings your daughter will have."

"Miss Zhao deserves to be the pearl of Master Zhao's palm"

"Miss Zhao will definitely be with His Royal Highness King Ning, and he is beautiful, growing old together, and the house is full of children and grandchildren."

Zhao Xibao has always known that his father is generous, but this time he was generous and invited almost the whole city to dinner. Zhao Xibao thought about it, but it still hurt tightly.

She thought about it, and her future behavior was estimated to be restricted by many parties. In an instant, it became wilting.

King Ning doesn't seem to have an invitation yet, it's a "begging day". It is the man who chooses the auspicious day for marriage and asks for the woman's consent, commonly known as "mentioning the day".

Is it to give her enough time and be mentally prepared? Or, King Ning himself was not prepared?

Zhao Xibao shook his head, he didn't want to do so much. She can be a happy salted fish again, wandering around.

After she wandered the major celebrity places in the capital, she played everything she could and wanted to play. I found that the capital was also quite boring, and I was ready to go out of the city to have fun. The idea was snuffed out in the cradle.

The family sent someone to look for her, saying that King Ning was here and asked her to return home quickly.

If the eldest brother saw her appear in front of King Ning like this, he would definitely reprimand her. Zhao Xibao changed out of his men's clothes as quickly as possible.

Fortunately, she couldn't meet King Ning, so she was at ease behind the screen, eating fruits and tasting beautiful men. But she felt that King Ning's eyes were looking at the screen, as if he knew that she was hiding behind.

She couldn't help but take a serious look at the person who was about to become her husband. Nearly seven feet tall, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like stars and streamers, gentle and elegant, noble and handsome, and as bright as the sun and the moon.

The jet-black hair is combed in a neat bun, set in a delicate crown of purple gold and white jade, interspersed with a moire-shaped white hosta.

Wearing a dark cloud pattern purple brocade robe, covered with a milky white placket, and a small brocade bag hanging under the white jade belt, it seems that he has seen it somewhere. It is estimated that he came on horseback, and he was wearing white deerskin boots on his feet.

His complexion is very white, and his handsome features are particularly distinct. Although he is beautiful, he does not have the softness of a woman at all. In particular, those eyes looked wise and deep.

Zhao Xibao was immersed in someone's beauty and didn't hear what was said outside.

When she knew, she exclaimed. It's just that at that time, King Ning was already gone.

Immediately regretted, the beauty misled people!
