The first of the six rites - Nacai, and the second rite - asking for the name (taking the eight characters of the birthday).

Generally, the man finds the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to understand the woman's wishes first, and if the woman has no opinion, he will take out his birthday and hand it to the matchmaker, which is also to avoid the woman from agreeing and the man being embarrassed.

The third salute – Najib.

Get the woman's birthday, the matchmaker returns to the man's side, and looks at each other with the birth date of both men and women, and sees if the birth date of both men and women will clash with each other, if not, then follow the second look to see the auspicious time and auspicious day.

The auspicious day of proposing, the auspicious day of marriage.

This is to protect the woman, in case the two birthdays do not match, then it doesn't matter if there is no follow-up.

The Fourth Rite - Acceptance.

That is, the man prepares the letter of appointment, the letter of gift, and the gift representing auspiciousness, and goes to the woman's house to propose.

The letter of appointment and the letter of ceremony are two of the three books, and the other book is the book of welcome, also called the marriage book, which is only used when the church is married.

And this auspicious gift is also unlimited, the more you prepare, the more auspicious it is.

Generally, families with sons, large households, these things will start to prepare a long time ago.

Nangong Night is no exception.

Just say more or less.

The Fifth Rite - Farewell Period.

That is, when proposing, the woman will be informed at the woman's house of the auspicious day of marriage.

The sixth ceremony - greeting the family.

As for the dowry, it is sent to the woman's family before the wedding, and then the woman will marry the man's family with the dowry when she gets married.

As for the marriage, this is a self-choice, in fact, the date of marriage is considered a marriage.

However, if the days of marriage are far away, the relatives of both men and women can have a light meal together and recognize each other, which can be regarded as a marriage.

There's no need to make a big deal out of it.

In the afternoon of the same day, the matchmaker arrived at Gu's house.

successfully got Gu Qiqi's birthday eight characters.

also successfully set the date of marriage.

Set for the beginning of September 9, two years later.

The next day, Nangong Ye went to Gufu with a letter of appointment, a letter of gift, and a gift with Jiang Su and the matchmaker.

Looking at the mighty proposing team, Gu Qiqi didn't expect this guy's speed to be so fast.

Seeing the elders talking about their family affairs in the main hall, Gu Qiqi motioned for Nangong Ye to go to the back garden with her.

Looking at Nangong Ye, Gu Qiqi asked: "We just decided to marry first yesterday, and the matchmaker came to the door in the afternoon, and you came to propose marriage today?" Those things have been prepared for a long time? ”

Nangong Ye: "Some gifts have been prepared a long time ago, and families with sons who want to marry their daughters-in-law will prepare some in advance." The other is what I prepared myself for most of the past six months. ”

Gu Qiqi was meaningful: "Then you have been planning for a long time, just wait for me to jump into the pit." ”

Nangong Ye replied with a smile: "Wait for you to be willing, take the initiative, and never force you." ”

After speaking, he took the initiative to take Gu Qiqi's hand and walked in the artificial lake in the backyard.

Gu Qiqi let him lead him, and then said: "Forget it, since it has been decided, it is only a matter of time or time, so I will not pursue your deep pit." ”

"However, for the day of marriage, is it really counted on the 9th day of September? Or did you decide? ”

Nangong Ye said honestly: "I didn't have any intervention in this, and if I intervened, it wouldn't be so late, when the matchmaker calculated the day for us, my mother and I told her about the auspicious time and auspicious day in two years." ”

"So in this way, one is the ninth day of the ninth month of September, and the other is the first day of the twelfth month."

Gu Qiqi: "So you chose the ninth day of the ninth month of September." ”

Nangong Ye wanted to survive on the line, and immediately explained: "On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the meaning is long, so I chose this auspicious day." ”

Gu Qiqi looked at Nangong Ye's anxious explanation, looked at him and couldn't help but smile, and asked rhetorically, "Did I say anything?" You are in such a hurry to explain. ”

Nangong Ye: "I, I'm not in a hurry to explain, I'm showing you the situation." ”

Gu Qiqi: "Eh, is there a difference?" ”

Nangong Ye looked at Gu Qiqi, if she dared to say that there was no difference, he might be blocked.

Looking at Nangong Ye's posture, Gu Qiqi hurriedly replied: "There is a difference, there is a difference, you are not explaining to me, you are explaining to me." ”

Nangong Ye listened to Gu Qiqi's answer, and then changed the topic: "Now that the family affairs are decided, you can rest assured that you can be busy with your business." ”

Gu Qiqi: "What about you?" Do you have any ideas on the sixth brother's side? Or do you have any ideas? ”

Nangong Ye: "Naturally, there is, take advantage of these two years to unify several surrounding countries that are eyeing Dayong." ”

"As for what you said, there may be other countries on the other side of the sea, and as for those other countries, we will wait until they appear."

"And during this period, before they appear, we just need to strengthen our own country first, and they in the province appear, and we have no ability to protect ourselves."

Gu Qiqi looked at Nangong Ye, who had a plan, and nodded: "Two years to dominate the Central Plains, I'm afraid it's a bit rushed." There are many small countries around Dayong, and even if we have weapons, we will need one in three months to six months. ”

The word Central Plains was said by Gu Qiqi when he told Nangong Ye and them that there might be countries beyond the sea after learning that there was a sea in the south.

She called the land where they are currently located the Central Plains.

Nangong Ye replied: "Don't forget, I'm not alone, in the later stage, the eldest brother, the second brother, Chang Wu, and Chang Ning will lead the team by themselves, plus me, it is five teams, and it is not impossible for our five teams to set off together, within two years." ”

Gu Qiqi thought for a while and said, "Then we have to make good preparations this year, food, grass, food, and troops." ”

Nangong Ye: "Don't worry, the sixth brother was going to arrange for the eldest brother and the second brother to go out to recruit soldiers, and it happened to be a matter of the past few days, and when our family affairs are settled, they should be about to set off." ”

"As for grain, grain and grass, now that the disaster has passed, and potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn have been planted in large areas in various places, there should be no need to worry about grain, grass and grain."

Sweet potato vines and corn stalks can be used as food and grass to feed horses.

Sweet potatoes and corn were available for the soldiers to eat, and they were not wasted at all.

Gu Qiqi nodded: "Well, when the time comes, I will also think about it, and I will not sell a few Zhuangzi's grain, and hoard it to supply the military camp." ”

After finishing speaking, Gu Qiqi remembered something again and said, "In that case, the matter of building an official road has to be postponed." Otherwise, it is a south-to-north water diversion project, a road construction project, and a unified Central Plains, and Dayong's manpower is afraid that it will not be enough. ”

"In addition, since you are going to be separated at that time, then train more people to come out, let the eldest brother and the second brother choose some people to come out, and when the time comes, you will try to bring 10,000 each as elite soldiers."
