(Yesterday's recommendation rose by 42.,But the collection is not powerful.,Yesterday morning it was 294.,322 this morning.,It's just two short!

In a blink of an eye, three days passed, and at the same time, it was time for the appointment of Zhang and Zhao's families.

In the past few days, Zhang Xuan's biggest gain is to train Bao'er into a qualified scholar, and now Zhang Xuan can also enjoy the realm of the ancients' "red sleeves add fragrance to night reading", although this red sleeve is a little small.

And Bao'er's biggest gain was to use Bao's reason to frighten Bao'er that night, forcing Bao's to sign N unequal treaties with her, otherwise he would catch it in his arms, tickle him, and treat it well.

That's right, Po is the new name of the rat demon, and for the sake of convenience, everyone decided to give the rat demon a name. At first, Zhang Xuan gave a few names, such as "Xiaobai", "Wangcai" or something! However, Zhang Xuan really didn't have any talent for naming names, which made everyone roll their eyes, and even the rat demon looked at his master with disdain.

In the end, Bao'er was still given the naming right by Bao'er's sentence "Bao'er is called Bao'er, then you will be called Bao!"

In addition to the name, Po the guinea pig has another gain, that is, it can speak. The day before yesterday, Zhao Wan'er brought a pill and said that it was called "Transformation Pill", which could allow the little demon who had just opened the dexterity to refine the horizontal bones and speak, it is said that there is also a kind of "Transformation Pill", which is even more against the sky, allowing the demon clan to transform without crossing the transformation of the heavenly tribulation.

Since then, Po's communication with everyone has been unhindered. For some reason, Zhang Xuan let his mother and Uncle Zhong also know about Bao's existence, and the two of them were surprised when they saw a talking mouse for the first time.

On this day, Zhang Xuan was reading in the study, but was called over by his mother Li.

"My son is now a showman, today is the auspicious day for the appointment, and the marriage between you and Wan'er should be done as soon as possible, and you can enter the exam with peace of mind after getting married. The mother urged with some urgency.

"Well, I know, mother, after a while, the child will go to propose! It's just that there is some grievance in letting Wan'er be a concubine, and the child wants to wait until next autumn to marry Wan'er as a flat wife after she has an official body. Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment but still said his decision.

In this world, which resembles an ancient one, a man can marry multiple wives, but only if he has an official status.

The emperor has a queen and four concubines and five wives, and those who have titles can marry one wife, three equal wives and four wives, and those who have official status can marry one wife and two ordinary wives and three wives, which is also the origin of "three wives and four concubines".

Although the flat wife does not enjoy the same social status as her husband in terms of clothing, car system and etiquette like the main wife, at least she is also married by the Ming media, unlike the concubine, but a sedan chair is carried in from the back door.

Her status in the family is also equal to that of her wife, and she does not have to pour tea when she sits like a concubine, so she is called a "flat wife"! Moreover, the children born to her are also the sons and daughters who have the right to inherit.

The formation of this system is also caused by the low survival rate of young children in ancient times, although there is no lack of men's vanity considerations, but they are also afraid that no one will inherit the foundation they have laid.

As for concubines, their status is very low, which is higher than the status of maids and servants, and they can even be bought and sold freely, like the concubine's acceptance, which means to buy.

Moreover, the children born to him are called 庶 (shu) out, and have no right to inherit.

As for those rich businessmen who have no fame, the concubines they accept are just called in their own houses, in fact, they are the maids who are accepted into the house, and they are not officially recognized by Dayong at all, and the children they give birth to can only be called "illegitimate children", they are black households, and they can't even have an official identity, they are generally attached to the slave status in the house, if their mother has been favored, they still have the opportunity to get rid of slaves and become people, otherwise, they are just people in the house.

But not everyone can marry a flat wife, which requires having an official status. Now although Zhang Xuan has the fame of Xiucai, he has a status equivalent to the ninth grade. But it is not an official body, only the qualification of a concubine.

Because now if Zhang Xuan wants to enter the officialdom, he can only start as a junior official, and he can be an official of the ninth grade at the highest. And once there is an official body, it will be different, at that time, if Zhang Xuan wants to be an official, he can directly start from the official of the ninth grade, but there are also restrictions, and the highest can only be the seventh grade.

Therefore, unless there is really no hope, the average scholar will not be out of office before taking the Jinshi examination.

Zhao Wan'er is a great monk in the Jindan period, and she doesn't want to be bound, so she doesn't want to be Zhang Xuan's wife, but in the face of such a loving and righteous woman, Zhang Xuan doesn't want to wronged her, so the status of a flat wife is just right.

Mother Zhang pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Wan'er, this child is also very fond of being a mother, being a concubine is indeed wronged, my son thinks well, but it is much more difficult to take the examination than to rely on the show, can my son be sure that he will be able to win the examination next autumn?"

"This ......" Zhang Xuan hesitated for a while, although he has the cheating weapon of prophecy, as long as the merit is enough, he can continue to improve his life, and he is not bad in terms of luck, but he does not dare to guarantee that he will be able to win, after all, no one can expect an accident.

Seeing Zhang Xuan's appearance, Zhang's mother persuaded: "If you don't win, you will have to wait for another three years." You must know that Wan'er is sixteen years old this year, she is a big girl, and she will become an old girl in four years, and it will be not good to gossip when the time comes!"

In ancient times, you can marry at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and at the age of sixteen or seventeen, you are a big girl, which is the best time to get married.

"According to my mother's opinion, it is better to marry first, and when my son is promoted in the future, I will be promoted to a flat wife. Moreover, although it is a concubine's room, you can enter the door according to the etiquette of a flat wife!"

"What my mother said is reasonable, so let's do what my mother said. Zhang Xuan felt that what his mother said was also reasonable, so he no longer insisted.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Xuan went to be busy with the hiring matters, as for the dowry and the like, his mother and Uncle Zhong had already prepared for Zhang Xuan in the past few days.

Since it is according to the etiquette of marrying a flat wife, it is natural to marry the media.

According to the wife etiquette of the Dayong Dynasty, it is divided into six rites, namely, adoption, asking for names, najib, acceptance, invitation, and personal welcome.

The first is adoption, i.e., proposing. In fact, three days ago, my mother had already proposed marriage to Zhao's mother, but since she had already decided that Ming Media was marrying, she naturally couldn't be like a concubine, and the two families would be carried directly into the house in a small sedan chair.

In order to show that the Zhang family attaches great importance to Zhao Wan'er, Zhang Xuan also specially hired a well-known matchmaker in Wei County to go through the motions of proposing marriage.

Then there is the question of the name, also known as the "eight characters", that is, the man asks the woman's name and birth date to be auspicious. This Zhang Xuan was naturally prepared, and handed over the names and birthdays of the two to a famous fortune teller for questioning, and finally came up with a good relationship.

In fact, as long as there is money to be made, no one will generally say that this is not a good match, not to mention that Zhang Xuan is now young and promising, he was selected for the show at the age of sixteen, and it is too late to please him, how dare he talk nonsense?

Then there is Najib, also known as "Guo Wending" or "Xiao Ding", that is, sending a matchmaker to give a thin gift.

Then the levy, that is, the "big gift", that is, is the next engagement, the dowry is generally the gift money, cakes, gifts and sacrifices, etc., divided into twelve and six.

Zhang Xuan brought forty taels of gift money, one piece of cake, six pieces of jewelry and led a sheep as a sacrifice, but it was the highest twelve.

Seeing the etiquette adopted by Zhang Xuan and the scale of the dowry, Zhao's mother vaguely guessed something, and immediately said with surprise and joy: "Xuan'er, you are ......"

"Auntie, I have discussed it with my mother, and I feel that it is too wronged to let Wan'er be a concubine, so I decided that Ming Media is marrying, just wait for Xuan'er to be promoted, and if she has an official body, she will raise Wan'er as a flat wife!" Hearing the prospective mother-in-law's inquiry, Zhang Xuan hurriedly told Zhao's mother the result of his discussion with his mother.

"Xuan'er, you have a heart, it's just that our family's Wan'er is blessed. Mother Zhao's moved eyes flashed with tears.

The identity of her daughter, the monk, is also known, and she can understand that she does not want to be restrained. It's just that although the family is in the middle of the road, but after all, it is a scholarly eunuch's house, if her daughter is a concubine, she will inevitably have some unwillingness in her heart, but now that she has the status of a flat wife, it is much easier to accept.

"Aunt, don't worry, I will treat Wan'er sincerely, and I will never let her suffer the slightest grievance. Zhang Xuan assured.

"Okay," Zhao's mother was relieved for a while, "Silly boy, you still call me aunt......

"Oh! Hearing this, Zhang Xuan was overjoyed and immediately bowed. Then the two looked at each other and smiled.

This trip can be described as a complete merit, but he didn't see Zhao Wan'er, and Zhang Xuan felt a little regretful in his heart. However, this is also etiquette, from the formal proposal to the chapel marriage, men and women are not allowed to meet.

The next thing is the invitation period, and the same is looking for the fortune teller, and the final date is set for the eighth day of the next month, that is, the eighth day of the eighth month of August.
