The Gu family in Hedong was busy, and the Zhou family in Hexi was not idle. Early the next morning, as soon as the sky was dark, he began to prepare a banquet to entertain the man who came to the door today.

It is human nature to love to watch the excitement, the Gu family has not yet come to hire, and the Zhou family has already attracted many onlookers, and the three layers outside the three layers are surrounded by water.

When the time came, Gu Wenxuan came with the Gu patriarch and the male matchmaker accompanied by his family, followed by his cousins carrying the dowry.

"It's here, it's here, the Gu family has come to hire."

"The letter of appointment has been issued!"

"Hurry up, it's time to salute and sing."

Before Patriarch Gu stepped into the door of the Zhou family's courtyard, he saw Patriarch Zhou walking briskly to greet him, he hugged his fists and said with a smile, "Today I hired my Gu Jialang to come to your Zhou family." ”

The two patriarchs here exchanged pleasantries, and Zhou Yujiang (Dajiang) took the prepared caramel to the people who came to see the excitement, which made everyone happy.

In the hall, the male matchmaker opened the dowry brought by him, and in addition to the tea, wine, sugar, wedding cakes, fish, meat, etc., there was actually a set of silver jewelry.

Although this set of silver jewelry only has a pair of earrings and a pair of hairpins, it is certainly nothing in a large family, but no matter how solid a farmer is, it can be described as a big deal.

Hearing that a sister-in-law came to whisper a dowry, Zhou Banxia was stunned. Obviously, the two families are ordinary people from small households, why is this?

"Sanya, I'm going to the hall. Their Gu family patriarchs have personally come to the next office to deliver the papers, and when you get to the hall later, you remember to pour tea for the Gu patriarch in person first. ”

Zhou Banxia, who was a little dazed, was reminded by the eldest daughter-in-law of the patriarch of Zhou, nodded subconsciously, and stood up and followed out of the room with the strength of the other party's hand.

This time I went out, and there were all those sitting and standing in the hall. But the most dazzling thing for her to say is the silly big guy who is grinning standing up.

Silly?

Zhou Banxia bowed his head slightly with a shy, pressed his right hand on his left waist, put his right foot on his back, and slightly bent his knees to give a blessing to the elders present.

Gu Wenxuan almost looked stupid. This is the daughter of the ancient lady who was raised in the boudoir, listen to everyone's praise, his wife's adaptability is much stronger than him.

Look at a room full of old men and old ladies. Pretending to be like it, you Wednesday! Yes, yes, my daughter-in-law is very handsome and handsome.

It was too dark to take a closer look, and his wife was very tender. Wearing a single ancient costume is more fairy than wearing a wedding dress when the wedding was held before.

This is the end of the etiquette.

Ming Media is marrying three books in the "Three Books and Six Rites", the letter of appointment and the letter of ceremony are all available, and the marriage book of one book is waiting for Gu Wenxuan to bring the marriage book to the door twelve days later.

Respectfully saluted, Zhou Banxia returned to the "boudoir". At this time, there was no one inside, and even Zhou Daya, who was still shouting that she would stay in the house with her if she didn't do anything this morning, didn't know where she was.

Not to mention the custom of going through the hiring process and serving the wine and food, how did the patriarch of Zhou lead Zhou Shun and greet the Gu family who came to give the dowry to sit down.

How did you tell Patriarch Gu that my daughter of the Zhou family attaches great importance to it, and she must not be bullied in the future; The other replied, I care about how good the boy's nature is.

Before the local customs, the man would not leave at noon, so Zhou Banxia first opened the cage and took out the red wooden box and took out the dowry list.

said that it was a dowry list, but it was actually a piece of red paper. On the red paper, the name of the woman's dowry and the amount were written on it, in triplicate.

The mother's family and the husband's family each keep one copy, and the other copy will be filed with the county government together with the marriage after marriage, and then it will become a booklet and be stamped with the official seal.

The law of the Great Liang Kingdom stipulates that the dowry is owned by the married woman personally, and the husband's house is not allowed to occupy it. Even if the husband's family wants to use it, it needs to be agreed by the person.

After dinner yesterday, her father and mother went to the patriarch's house to go around and come back, and when they got home, they asked Dajiang to draw up this dowry list, one for the newspaper and the other for writing.

All the supplies that can be used as dowries at home are written on it, and even the furniture that has not yet been brought home and the two acres of dowry fields that have not seen the shadow are already on paper.

This dowry list can be seen to be written in small black letters. From the big kang cabinet to the small sewing box, you can write the big river's small hands to cramp quickly.

Odds and bits, even more. At that time, she heard that her scalp was numb, so she took care of the family room, so many couldn't be stuffed in, and she didn't panic.

As a result, her father said emotionally that she was cast into the wrong fetus, and most girls planted trees early when they were born, and the trees were made into furniture for their daughters as a dowry.

For a while, I didn't think about what trees could grow in sixteen or eighteen years to make furniture, and a fool nodded and wrote down everything on the list.

"Sister, third sister, I'm here."

I don't know you're here? Zhou Banxia smiled dumbly. looked at the younger brother who ran in, and put away the brush that had imitated the eldest brother's handwriting and wrote the dowry on the list.

Zhou Yuhe approached, turned his head to look at the door and the window, and saw that no one was approaching, so he asked quietly, "The third brother-in-law asked you if it was inconvenient to meet you at this time?" ”

"It's inconvenient."

"Give."

Bought so quickly? Zhou Banxia took the letter from his younger brother with one hand and scratched the bridge of Zhou Yuhe's nose with one hand.

"Third sister, I'm an adult!" Zhou Yuhe stomped his feet, "The third brother-in-law promised me that he would listen to you and promise not to bully you in the future, otherwise I wouldn't be able to spare him!" ”

"Awesome!" You're the best brother-in-law in the world! Zhou Banxia couldn't help but chuckle, "Did he ask you to wait for me to reply first, and then give it to him." ”

"Humph! I said there was no one in your house to talk about. "Zhou Yuhe changed his position and stood next to Zhou Banxia," the third brother-in-law said that it was okay to reply to the letter for a while.

If anyone is in your house, as long as I give it to you, it doesn't matter if you read the letter later. The third brother-in-law is still afraid that being seen will affect your reputation, and I will be a tiger. ”

"That's right, my brother is smart." Zhou Banxia patted his little brother's immature shoulder. Since there was no need to rush to read the letter, she put it in the nearest box and closed it.

"Do you want me to help you with your words?" Zhou Yuhe glanced at the third sister's face, he should like the third brother-in-law very much, right? "I promise I won't let outsiders hear anything."

Zhou Banxia hesitated slightly, "It's okay." You just say that I said it, and let him go back with everyone before noon according to custom, and wait for me to reply later. ”

Zhou Yuhe silently read the words that his third sister had just said, and made sure that he could relay them word for word, and focused on his little head, "And Brother Liulang, their family wants you to get married on June 6 at the beginning of next month." ”

So fast?

"Listen to the meaning, that day was also Gu Shilang's marriage. Third sister, at first I heard the patriarch grandfather and our father talking outside about whether to hurry up or not to hurry, but I don't know what this means. ”

It seems that whether it is the patriarch and the clan elder, or the man's family, they have decided to let the girl "die" recently. "Let's go back and ask Dad."
