-----First of all, I wish you good luck! The Seven Fairies and Dong Yonglai are asking you for support! Without your support, it would be difficult for our husband and wife to reunite, and a happy life would be even more out of reach.

Ask for support-----

The next day, I had breakfast. The little girl Zhang Na and Zhang Na's father Zhang Fan went home.

The little girl Zhang Na's home is in Zhangjia Lane, not far from Lijia Lane.

At the same time, with the girl Zhang Na and Zhang Na's father Zhang Fan returning to Zhangjiaxiang, there are also Xiao Dongyong and Dong Yong's father directors, as well as Xiao Dongyong's stepfather and stepmother Li Zhiyong and Li Zhiyong's wife Li Zhang's husband and wife. In addition, there were several middle-aged strong men who carried the burden together.

What are they going to do?

Naturally, it is for the sake of Xiao Dongyong's inheritance.

Dowry, which means the gift of mutual engagement between princes in ancient times, and now the gift of engagement, the word comes from the "Book of Rites: Marriage", "Playing Wang Yuan" and so on. When engaged, the man's family gives the woman's gift, and the amount of the dowry often becomes the value of the married woman, so the wedding is pompous, arrogant, and luxurious.

Ancient princes greeted each other. "The Book of Rites: Marriage": "Dowry, the seventh introduction of the father, the fifth introduction of the Hou Bo, and the third introduction of the son, so the Ming is noble and cheap." "Chinese Zhou Yuzhong" "Sui pretended to be in Chen, in order to hire Chu " Three Kingdoms Wu Wei Zhao Note: "At that time, the Son of Heaven was weak, so the courtesy of vassals was false." Dowry, if you cross the country to the border, make the second false road, and the silk will be ordered in the temple. ”

However, for the people, the dowry refers more to the gift of engagement.

The gift of engagement. It also refers to the gift of money prepared at the time of engagement. Liang Shen of the Southern Dynasty made an appointment with "Playing Wang Yuan": "Zhang Xia Qian 50,000 yuan as a dowry." Qing Li Yu's "Nai He Tian Tumei": "If it is a young concubine, there is naturally no reason to be a parent." In this case, he had to return the dowry to him. Shen Congwen's "Ah Jin": "This marriage Ah Jin was originally prepared to make a decision tonight. I hugged a bunch of money tickets in my pocket, just to prepare something for the dowry. Ren Deyao's "Ma Lanhua" Act 1: "This is really our girl's dowry." ”

In ancient China, the wedding process was divided into six stages, which were called "six rites" in ancient times, namely, Nacai, Naji, Nazheng, Invitation, and Welcome. Among them, "Na Zheng", that is, the male family sends the dowry gift to the female family, also known as Na Yuan, big hire, excessive gift, etc.

In ancient times, the levy was mostly based on birds and beasts, and in ancient times, the dowry had to use the whole deer, and the later generations used deer skin. Cui Yan's "Wedding Text" recorded: "The bird is a goose, accompanied by a deerskin. "The Book of Songs, Zhaonan, and the Wild Have Dead Elk" says: "There are dead elks in the wild, and white grass covers them." There is a woman with a spring, and Jishi tempts her. "It's about proposing to a girl with a wild deer. Because in ancient times, it was a gift to hire more geese, so the dowry gift was also called "commission bird". Of course, in ancient times, it was not all birds and beasts as a courtesy, as said in "Wei Feng and Hooligans", "The hooligans are the ones who hold the cloth trade silk." Bandits come to trade silk, come and I seek", is an example of using cloth as a dowry. Later, the etiquette of the levy became more and more complicated, and it became one of the most cumbersome processes of etiquette among the six rites.

In the Song Dynasty, tea was listed as an important gift in the dowry and became almost indispensable. Since then, the folk have called the dowry gift "tea", "tea ceremony" or "tea ceremony"; when a woman is hired, it is called "eating tea" or "receiving tea"; the so-called "three teas" are the "tea" when they are engaged, the "fixed tea" when they get married, and the "combined tea" in the cave room. According to Song Huna's "Records of Experiences and Experiences": "Usually engaged, tea is a gift. Therefore, it is called the appointment money of the dry house to send the Kun house, which is called "tea gold", also known as "tea ceremony", and also called "substitute tea". The female family was hired and said 'to receive tea'. Wu Zimu's "Tokyo Dream Lianglu Marriage" also talked about the tea used in the marriage in the Song Dynasty: "The Taoist party will give the wedding gift, and when it comes to the dowry, the rich family should prepare three golds to give it,...... Add flower tea, fruits, reunion cakes, sheep wine and other things, and send the official meeting silver collar, which is called 'the next financial gift'. Wu Zimu recorded that even for poor families, tea cakes are indispensable in the dowry, and even women's gifts also use more "tea cakes and fruits" and "goose wine tea cakes".

The "six rites" of marriage were later simplified and merged by Sima Guang, Zhu Xi and others, but the tea ceremony that prevailed in the Song Dynasty was inherited by the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. Huang Zuo, a native of Xiangshan (now Zhongshan City, Guangdong) in the Ming Dynasty, the word Taiquan, wrote the "Taiquan Township Ceremony" when he was at home in his later years, and the book recorded: "Recently, those who accept and recruit people stop using a box of fine tea, and the hairpin is particularly simple and can be passed." Youyun: "Where third-class households are hired, use one piece of wine, two geese, two horses of cloth, and a box of tea." It reflects the popularity of tea ceremonies in the Lingnan area of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, some of them are things that happened later in the era in which Xiao Dong Yong lived.

Although it is said that the little girl Zhang Na was caught by Xiao Dong Yong when Xiao Dong Yong caught Zhou, it was understood by the people who participated in Xiao Dong Yong's Zhou ceremony as a match made in heaven. The little girl Zhang Na inexplicably became Xiao Dong Yong's wife, and Xiao Dong Yong was full of luck, just such an ordinary and unnovel etiquette of catching Zhou, Xiao Dong Yong can catch Zhou and catch Zhou out of a wife casually, what can it be if it is not lucky?

However, even if Xiao Dongyong is lucky, the dowry must still be given.

Now, it's time for Xiao Dongyong to make up the dowry.

Xiao Dong Yong and Dong Yong's father, director, and his entourage, set off towards their destination, Lijia Lane.

On the way, I met many people, all of whom were barely villagers and villagers.

When these villagers saw Xiao Dong Yong, they couldn't help but smile.

Obviously, after a lot of voluntary propaganda of the guests who participated in Xiao Dong Yong's Zhou ceremony, Xiao Dong Yong's Zhou is a legend of catching Zhou and catching a wife is already well known.

All of them, although these villagers couldn't help laughing, they still didn't laugh.

After all, it doesn't matter if it's just a smile.

However, if you laugh out loud, you may be thought by Dong Yong's father and director that these villagers are laughing at you, so won't that lead to conflicts?

Dong Yong's father, the director, also saw the smiles of the villagers, but the director was not unhappy, after all, the fact that Xiao Dong Yong caught Zhou and caught Zhou came out with a wife was very funny even the director himself thought it was very funny.

It's just funny, but if someone laughs at Xiao Dong Yong for being a little pervert, how can he be so young that he knows how to find a woman, Dong Yong's father director will still be angry.

So the funny and the ridiculous look pretty much the same, but the result is two complete endings.

Therefore, keeping the mouth on and off moderately is a good thing for yourself and others.

Xiao Dong Yong and Dong Yong's father, director, and his party soon arrived at Zhangjiaxiang.

The little girl Zhang Na's family has already been prepared, after all, the little girl Zhang Na and some uncles also went to participate in Xiao Dongyong's Zhou ceremony. After the little girl Zhang Na came home from some uncles, she would naturally talk about it.

What's more, Xiao Dongyong's stepmother, Li Zhiyong's wife, Li Zhang, will definitely tell her family again and again that she must prepare when she returns home.

Now that you're ready, aren't things going unusually well?
