Chapter 261: The Gift of Choice
Xin Siyue, Jiazi Day, it is advisable to travel to get married and engaged.
Li Qingxuan entrusted his maternal uncle Zheng Yu to go to Cui's house in Gusu City to carry out the gift of selection, and the gift of selection is Nacai, and "Nacai" is the first of the six ceremonies. "The Book of Rites: Dusk" Day": The person who accepts the collection is the gift of selection, so the evening ceremony is issued, and the goose is also adopted. ”
Wild goose is a migratory bird, autumn goes to spring, and it never loses its trust. The geese fly in turn, leading the old and strong first, and the young and weak follow behind, never overstepping.
In addition to the wild goose, there are no other migratory birds, so since ancient times, the ancients have used the wild goose as the five rites.
Not only that, in addition to not losing time, not losing trust, and acting in an orderly manner, the wild geese are also loyal to love, from the beginning to the end, so from ancient times to the present, people are very fond of the wild goose.
Among the selection gifts entrusted by Li Qingxuan to his maternal uncle Zheng Yu, there were two handsome geese, which were twice as big as ordinary geese.
Cui Huanzhi, the head of the Cui family, accepted the gift brought by Zheng Yu, and informed Zheng Yu of the birthday of his daughter Cui Luoshuang. Zheng Yu did not stop at Cui's house for long, and then went to Yuqi Mountain on Xishan Island in Taihu Lake.
There is a Yuwang temple on the Yuqi Mountain, the incense is prosperous, extremely effective, the people of Suzhou Mansion whether it is marriage and marriage, or all kinds of matters, all like to ask for signs in the Yuwang Temple.
Zheng Yu knew that his nephew Li Qingxuan's birthday eight characters, so he put Cui Luoshuang's birthday eight characters and Li Qingxuan's birthday eight characters together, Zheng Yu offered a thick incense money, and asked the old temple Zhu of Yuwang Temple to ask for good fortune on behalf of the divination.
The old temple of Yuwang Temple shook the bamboo tube, and then there was a click, and a bamboo stick fell out. Lao Miaozhu glanced at the signature on the bamboo stick, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to the donor, congratulations to the donor, this bamboo stick is signed, a good omen, and a good fate!"
Zheng Yu was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, and then took out twenty taels of silver from his waist, which was counted as the hexagram gold of the old temple blessing. Lao Miaozhu hugged his fists and said lightly: "Compassion and happiness are immeasurable!"
Zheng Yu bowed his hand to the old temple, and then left the Yuwang Temple. Half an hour later, Zheng Yu came to the bamboo house courtyard on Qionglong Mountain, and Li Qingxuan invited his uncle Zheng Yu to the bamboo house.
Zheng Yu sat on the main seat, Li Qingxuan personally made a cup of tea for his uncle Zheng Yu, Zheng Yu took the teacup and moistened his throat, and then said: "Xuan'er, the old man thinks that you have done a good job in asking for names and Najib's divination, and your marriage sign is signed." ”
After Zheng Yu finished speaking, he took out a bamboo stick from his sleeve and handed it to Li Qingxuan. Li Qingxuan took the bamboo stick and looked at it, only to see two signatures on it, "Good couple? What more can a husband ask for? For the right couple, the fairy and the beautiful family, a hundred years of old age, no need to find a good match. ”
After Li Qingxuan read the signature, he said with a smile: "If it is really signed, this matter is up to Uncle Lao, my uncle's great kindness, Xuan'er has no teeth and never forgets, I don't know if my uncle will teach me next?"
Zheng Yu stroked his beard and said in a deep voice: "Xuan'er, Cui Yuanjun, as a member of the three grades of the imperial court, is not comparable to ordinary rich and noble families, and Cui Yuanjun was born in the Cui clan of Boling, so the next dowry cannot be shabby." ”
Li Qingxuan nodded lightly and said, "What my uncle said is very true, I don't know how much dowry is needed in my uncle's opinion?"
Zheng Yu thought for a while and said slowly: "According to the old man, at least forty taels of gold, six hundred taels of silver, sixty taels of colored satin, one hundred and twenty horses of miscellaneous silk, four boxes of brick tea, and a few four-color fructose, so that it is not a shabby gift." ”
Li Qingxuan was silent for a moment and did not speak. Seeing this, Zheng Yu opened his mouth and said: "Xuan'er, you don't have to worry about the dowry, the old man can be regarded as having a thin family, and the old man can still afford this dowry." ”
Li Qingxuan stood up, bowed to Zheng Yu, and said respectfully: "Uncle, thank you for your kindness, the dowry matter, my uncle doesn't have to handle it for me, although my nephew is not rich and rivals the country, but it can be regarded as a family wealth." ”
Zheng Yu glanced at Li Qingxuan, then looked at the furnishings in the bamboo house, and said in surprise: "Xuan'er, do you have ten thousand family wealth?"
Li Qingxuan smiled, and did not directly answer his uncle Zheng Yu's question, but shook the Qiankun bag on the table, only to hear the sound of a bang, and more than a hundred gold ingots appeared on the table, all of which were horseshoe gold with pure color.
When Zheng Yu saw this scene, he was speechless in surprise. Li Qingxuan coughed lightly and said lightly: "Uncle, these horseshoe gold is about five hundred taels, which should be enough for the dowry." ”
Zheng Yu calmed down and said in a deep voice: "Xuan'er, where did you get these gold ingots?" Li Qingxuan heard the meaning of Zheng Yu's words, "Uncle don't worry, these gold ingots were given by the king of Fengjie County in the Eastern Capital. ”
Zheng Yu said: "Why did the King of Fengjie County give you five hundred taels of gold?" Li Qingxuan said: "Because the nephew saved the life of the King of Fengjie, the King of Fengjie County gave the nephew five hundred taels of gold. ”
Zheng Yu nodded and said, "In that case, Xuan'er, when are you going to let the old man go to Cui's house to give a dowry ceremony?"
Li Qingxuan thought for a while and said: "Uncle, please send someone to buy a dowry tomorrow, and go to Cui's house to get a dowry the day after tomorrow. ”
Zheng Yu picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said, "I don't know how much Xuan'er wants to give as a dowry?"
Li Qingxuan pondered for a moment and said: "Two hundred taels of gold, one thousand two hundred taels of silver, one hundred and twenty taels of colored satin, two hundred and forty horses of miscellaneous silk, twelve boxes of brick tea, and a few four-color fructose. ”
Zheng Yu stroked his beard and said: "Xuan'er is really magnificent, you are like Lingzun, since this is the case, the old man will personally lead someone to buy a dowry tomorrow, which will inevitably make Xuan'er beautiful in Gusu City, and will not humiliate the face of Li Cui's family." ”
Li Qingxuan saluted Zheng Yu again and said respectfully: "Nephew, thank you uncle, Uncle Lao has bothered with this matter." ”
Zheng Yu waved his hand and said, "The family doesn't talk to each other, your parents are gone, of course my family affairs have to be organized for you." By the way, what kind of treasure is the bag of gold on your waist, Xuan'er? A palm-sized bag can pour out so many gold ingots?"
Li Qingxuan smiled and said, "Presumably my uncle has heard the story of Maitreya Buddha, right? This bag of nephews is called Qiankun bag, although it is far less than Maitreya Buddha's wishful Qiankun bag, but it can also be used for storage, although it can't fit a mountain, but it can also fit this bamboo house." ”
When Zheng Yu heard this, he almost pulled off his beard, Zheng Yu paused, and said hesitantly: "Xuan'er, are you a cultivator?"
Li Qingxuan nodded and said, "Uncle, my nephew is a cultivator. Zheng Yu said: "Xuan'er, you are a cultivator? Then you can call the wind and rain and scatter beans into soldiers?"
Li Qingxuan smiled slightly, and said lightly: "Uncle, my nephew doesn't know how to sprinkle beans into a soldier, but my nephew can call for wind and rain." ”
Zheng Yu was surprised and said, "Xuan'er, will you become an immortal in the future?" Li Qingxuan nodded lightly, and did not mean to elaborate on the matter of cultivation.
Just as Zheng Yu was digesting this shocking news, Uncle Jian's voice came from outside the door, "Childe, lunch has been prepared, when do you think it's time to eat?" Li Qingxuan glanced at the door and said, "Uncle Jian, I'm going to have dinner with my uncle." ”
Zheng Yu stood up and said with a smile: "Xuan'er, let's go, the old man hasn't tasted your old Jane's cooking skills for a long time, I don't know if Lao Jian's cooking skills have regressed?" Li Qingxuan smiled and said, "Uncle will know if he has tasted it." ”
