Chapter 95: Marry

In the Dali Dynasty, the status of scholars was very high, and if they won the imperial examination, even if they were old Xiucai in a very old age, they could have no worries about food and clothing, and they could find a job to support their family casually.

What's more, Xu Xian is still so young, and he has won the position of the head of the case in the government examination and the hospital examination, and he has a bright future.

At present, in Hangzhou Prefecture, almost all scholars aim at Xu Xian; many parents also take Xu Xian as an example when educating their children; even walking on the street, you can hear people talking about Xu Xian's deeds almost everywhere; and even many famous prostitutes in Qinglou openly say that they are willing to pay a hundred taels of silver, just to have a good time with Xu Hanwen......

Xu Jiaorong has reached this point, and there is no worry in her heart, she is all satisfied. She finally lived up to her parents' last words before leaving, and fulfilled her responsibility as a sister.

Xu Xian was raised by her to become a talent, and she glorified her ancestors!

So, she did not delay her marriage to Li Gongfu any longer.

First, after getting along for so long, she knows what kind of person Li Gongfu is.

With Xu Xian's talent and reputation now, as well as the speed at which Yuewei Bookstore is making money, I don't know how many people are willing to marry Xu Jiaorong, and they will no longer feel that Xu Xian's brother-in-law is a burden. But Li Gongfu is different, he didn't have the slightest dislike for Xu Jiaorong before Xu Xian 'opened his mind', he agreed to any request from Xu Jiaorong, even if he supported Xu Xian to continue studying after marriage, he didn't care.

Such a man is a good match worthy of being entrusted for life.

Second, Xu Jiaorong's age is really not young, ordinary women are afraid that they will get married a few years ago, and it will not be good for her and Li Gongfu to wait any longer.

So when the autumn list was released, Xu Xian asked the academy for a long vacation, and returned to Qiantang County with his sister, and after Xu Jiaorong and Li Gongfu got married, he returned to the academy and prepared to participate in the Jiangnan Talent Literary Conference.

Both men and women are in love and have the same heart, but the number of etiquette that should be there for marriage is indispensable.

In the Dali Dynasty, marriage can be said to be the most important thing in life, and it is very important, and many of the ceremonies of marriage are written into the law.

Generally speaking, there are four indispensable etiquettes for folk marriage, namely: Nacai, Naji, Nazheng, and Qinying.

Nacai means that the man's family invites the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose, and after the woman's family agrees to propose marriage, the man's family prepares six ceremonies before the marriage proposal.

Najib, that is, after the man retrieves the woman's name and eight characters, he performs divination in the ancestral temple.

Na Zheng, also known as Na Yuan, that is, the man's family gives the woman's family a dowry gift.

A day or two before the wedding, the woman gives a dowry, makes the bed, and the groom goes to the woman's house to marry the next day.

Although the four rites are cumbersome, they are actually a deleted version after the people dislike the trouble.

If it is between princes and nobles, marriage is no longer four ceremonies, but six ceremonies. There are two more 'asking names' and 'asking for appointments'.

In addition to the four etiquettes, there are also 'three books', which are the letter of appointment, the letter of ceremony, and the letter of welcome. The Three Books are written records that guarantee the validity of marriage, which is roughly equivalent to the marriage certificate of the earth in the future.

On the third day of the ninth lunar month, it is advisable to marry, make an alliance, and adopt, and everything is not taboo!

After a heavy etiquette, on this day, the groom's official Li Gongfu finally wore the red groom's official uniform, rode a horse, followed by the sedan chair man carrying the delicate son, and the festive team that blew away the suona and trumpet.

Li Gongfu usually works as a shopkeeper, and he is used to wearing simple and capable clothes, and it is obviously a little awkward to wear this loose groom's official uniform, but he is happy from the bottom of his heart, and the smile on his face has not been broken, and he keeps saying "thank you and thank you" to the people who congratulate him.

After many years of long-cherished wish, today I finally got my wish, I can marry the virtuous and virtuous bride home, Li Gongfu has been laughing out loud in his dreams in recent nights, and when he and his subordinates are on patrol duty, they can not help but giggle alone occasionally, and make a lot of jokes.

Xu Jiaorong was wearing a vermilion cardigan shirt with large sleeves and a phoenix crown on her head, she had been in charge of her family for many years, and she couldn't help but feel her heart pounding at this time, like a deer crashing, and she was extremely shy.

Marriage is an important moment for a woman's life, and after today, her identity will completely change. Her first identity will become Li Gongfu's wife and a member of the Li family. So at this time, in addition to joy and anxiety, she was inevitably a little apprehensive.

Fortunately, the groom knows and likes the groom very well, so she has no worries in her heart at this time, and she doesn't have to worry about life after marrying.

There were no parents in the house, and many of the rituals were done with the enthusiastic help of the neighbors' elders.

Stumbling, laughing and laughing, Xu Jiaorong married a lot of people in the neighborhood to help, and Li Gongfu had to send more red envelopes and 'checkpoints', especially some jumping children, who were running and laughing.

Rao is Li Gongfu's martial arts are good and vigorous, but when he walked from the alley to Xu Xian's house and knocked on the door, it had been more than half an hour, and Li Gongfu was even more tired and sweaty, and his underwear was almost wet.

But fortunately, the bride finally walked out slowly with the support of a neighbor's woman, and was given a sedan chair by him.

Next, it is to go home, and Li Gongfu can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, even if you go home, you are still far from the cave candles. The family has already set up a banquet, Li Gongfu, as the head catcher of Qiantang County and an official of Jiupin, is also regarded as the number one person in Qiantang County, and there are naturally many people who come to congratulate him when he gets married, and there are nearly 20 tables at the banquet, and he needs to toast at each table.

It is an indispensable procedure for the groom to toast the guests, and it is not possible to sneak and cheat without drinking, and Li Gongfu's alcohol consumption is not very good, and I am afraid that most of them will be drunk today.

In this way, on this happy day, I am afraid that I will not be able to cave the room at night, and I will have to be complained by Xu Jiaorong at that time...... The bits and pieces of these newlyweds are not enough for outsiders.

On the day of Xu Jiaorong's wedding, Xu Xian, who was her younger brother, couldn't help too much except for her sister's heartfelt blessings, so she could only eat and drink with most of the guests.

For Xu Jiaorong, she can rest assured when she sees Xu Xian being admitted to Xiucai, glorifying her ancestors, and worry-free about food and clothing from now on; for Xu Xian, she can rest assured that she can only feel at ease when she sees Xu Jiaorong finally marry her brother-in-law Li Gongfu and live a happy life.

My sister, who has worked hard for herself for so many years, is now considered to be bitter.

In the evening, when the guests have returned with all their hearts, they are all gone.

Letting go of a big event in his heart, Xu Xian, who was relaxed, carried a pot of wine, walked to the arch bridge of the river, drank to the moon alone, and muttered: "My sister and brother-in-law are finally married, and now I am alone." Lady, you should be looking for a husband soon, right?"
