The matchmaker saw that the embroidery stitches were fine, and the tattoos on it were lifelike, so this female red passed the level.

As for virtue, she saw that Cao Chifeng was graceful and sitting, like a flower, really like a green lotus in the pool, and thought to herself that there was nothing wrong with virtue with such a woman.

The matchmaker asked questions, and Cao Chifeng also answered appropriately.

After these four things were passed, the matchmaker saluted Cao Chifeng, and then said to Cao Xixiong: "Young Master Cao, please forgive the old body for offending a lot, this is to be a matchmaker for Uncle Xinwu, the old body has to be cautious, if Uncle Xin Wubo is satisfied by then, it is okay for the old body to be a little wronged, I am afraid that it will affect you, Young Master Cao." ”

Young Master Cao said that this should be, and the matchmaker said that the marriage was decided, so the next step was to hand over the tokens.

As for the six rites, the matchmaker said that Cao Xixiong had to take Cao Chifeng to find a place to live in Haining City, otherwise it would be difficult for this person to be so far away.

Cao Xixiong said that he would arrange it, and then looked at the matchmaker, ready to accept the token.

"Young Master Cao. Young lady and eldest girl, please kneel, this token was given to Mrs. Lin by the saint. ”

Hearing this, Cao Xixiong naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he prepared an incense case, and then the matchmaker put the box on the incense case, and the Cao family bowed to the box three times and knocked nine times.

Next, the matchmaker said that the matter was over, and she had to go back to tell the Lin family and let the Lin family prepare the six ceremonies.

Cao Xixiong was in a hurry, and he forgot to invite guests, so he let people send them off.

The matchmaker thought that this Cao Xixiong was really rude, and when she arrived at the Lin Mansion, she still had to say this matter, so that the Lin Mansion could be prepared.

It's not that she wants to give Cao Xixiong small shoes to wear, but Lin Duowen will have to deal with Cao Xixiong sooner or later, and Lin Duowen will know about it in the future, and she will complain that she, the matchmaker, took the Cao family's money and concealed it.

Cao Xixiong naturally didn't know the matchmaker's thoughts, but opened the box and looked at the bracelet inside, he wanted to pick it up, but in the end he endured it, he said to Cao Chifeng: "Sister, take a look, is it true." ”

Cao Chifeng picked up the jade bracelet, she was familiar with this jade bracelet, it was brought by Yuan Lihua, as for whether it was given by the emperor, it was not clear, she looked at the inside of the jade bracelet, and it was indeed written, Jianji Suiyou Sage gave and other words.

The lady of the Cao family then stepped forward on the grounds that Cao Chifeng brought a jade bracelet, observed the same, and also saw this line of words, so she smiled and left the jade bracelet in Cao Chifeng's hand, and said to Cao Chifeng: "Sister, you are really blessed, good luck, the items in this palace, even the prefect lady does not have them." Sister, there is this jade bracelet, and when the prefect sees you, he will salute you for three miles. ”

Cao Chifeng didn't say anything, and went back to Xiulou on the grounds that he was tired.

Cao Xixiong didn't pay attention to it, and asked his wife, is it really a royal gift? Cao Niangzi nodded, Cao Xixiong bit his fist happily, and only relieved when it hurt and said: "I really can't dream of it, developed, developed." ”

"What's the development, don't you go to my brother, your sister is going to marry into this uncle's mansion, do you think it's a very simple thing, a sedan chair is enough?"

Cao Xixiong said yes, so he asked the servant to invite Yang Ke, and when the servant came back, he told Cao Xixiong that today was the Wine Release Festival, and Yang Ke wanted to assist the prefect and had no time to come here.

"What prefect doesn't know the house, tell him that my sister's incident has been completed, and the saints have sent things."

The servant said yes, but this time he brought Yang Ke, and after Yang Ke arrived, he took off the Liuhe hat on his head, let people fan him, and then drank all the tea on the table, and then said to Cao Xixiong: "Brother-in-law, what's going on?" Something that the saints have rewarded, how did I not get the news. ”

"If you don't say that, can you please move this great god? However, there is indeed a gift from a saint, but it was given to Lin Wenzhenggong, and now it is given to my sister as a token. ”

"Then congratulations, congratulations, in the future, brother-in-law, you can go sideways in the four mansions of the East China Sea."

"I'm not looking for you to talk about this, brother-in-law, you also know, getting married in this uncle's mansion is not a trivial matter, if it is not done well, wouldn't it be that the Lin family has flattened my family."

Yang Ke said yes, this matter must be handled well, even if it is not very luxurious, it must be in line with etiquette, and the Lin family cannot be allowed to find fault.

Yang Ke said that where is the matchmaker now, this kind of thing, you still have to ask the matchmaker.

Cao Xixiong said that the matchmaker said that there was something, so he let her go first.

"Brother-in-law, you are really confused, this, it seems that you didn't leave her to eat."

"You don't say that I haven't remembered it yet, it's all my fault, after all, Ouchi's items are rare to see in this life. But I don't dare to complain about this matchmaker. ”

When Yang Ke heard this, he said helplessly: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, in this world, it is better to provoke gentlemen than villains, and it is better to provoke villains than to contact officials." If you offend the officials, you must not offend the three aunts and six mothers-in-law. ”

Cao Xixiong also made Yang Ke angry, the matchmaker has already left, and it is useless to say anything.

Yang Ke didn't say anything, saying that he was also a big girl in a sedan chair in this matter, and he didn't know very well, what he could do now was to ask some old gentlemen.

Cao Xixiong said that he heard from the matchmaker that he was going to Haining City to find a place to live.

Yang Ke nodded, thinking that it should indeed be so.

Then Yang Ke didn't stay long, and when he was leaving, he said to Cao Xixiong: "Brother-in-law, now that you are developed, don't forget me." ”

"What do you say, I have always helped you as my big brother. By the way, I will go after dinner. ”

"Forget it, between you and me, there is no need to be so polite."

Yang Ke left here and went to the wine banquet, which had not yet begun, but many people were already sitting there.

Yang Ke found a person, saluted to this person and said, "Uncle Wu, you are well." ”

"Chengfu, Chengfu, Master Yang, do you have something?"

"Uncle Wu, this city belongs to your old knowledge is the best, and the book you wrote is praised by everyone in the world. Truth be told, when you write a small paperwork, you also have to refer to your old book. ”

When Uncle Wu heard this, he said to Yang Ke: "Master Yang, what I wrote is just a storyteller, which is absurd, and you don't have to make fun of the little old man." If Xiao Lao'er was really that powerful, he wouldn't have made a living by writing this. ”

"Uncle Wu, you don't have to be modest, you can't hide it, this time I just looked for you, I want you to do you a favor."

After hearing this, Uncle Wu asked Yang Ke to say that if he could help, he would definitely help.

"That's right, my brother-in-law's sister, preparing to marry into a high family, you are also the way, we are all small families, I don't know these rules, so I want to ask you for advice."

"The high gate near here, except for returning home, is the Lin family."

"It's Xin Wubo."

After hearing this, Uncle Wu sighed and said: "When I met Lin Wenzhenggong, Wenzhenggong was not married, and now time flies, and even his youngest son is already getting married. ”

Yang Ke didn't answer, he didn't care about these past events, it was not a strange thing that Uncle Wu had seen Lin Wenzhenggong, there were many people in Hailan and Haining who had seen Lin Quan.

Uncle Wu thought about it for a while, and then said with a smile: "It's really old, it makes you laugh." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Wu Laozhang said that this matter is not difficult to do, and he told Yang Ke that the most difficult thing for this nobleman is to have a period of seeing the temple in March.

After getting married, the marriage should be tried within three months, and if the man thinks that the woman is not good, he will let the woman come back.

The marriage contract that has not been seen in the temple is not recognized among the nobles of the Yu Dynasty.

When we meet at the temple in March, the man will prepare all the items, and there is no need for Cao Xixiong to worry.

The most important thing is that if Cao Xixiong's sister marries the past, then Cao Xixiong can't put out the candle for three days.

Other than that, it's the ordinary six rites, and there's not much difference.

Uncle Wu said it in detail, Yang Ke wrote it down, and when Uncle Wu finished speaking, it was almost time to have a banquet. Yang Ke also retired, went to the backyard, asked for a pen and paper, wrote this down, and then assisted the prefect to deal with this banquet.

There is no difference between a wine banquet and an ordinary wine banquet, what Yang Ke has to do is to change the dishes, because the old man has bad teeth, if the meat can't be bitten, he has to put it back and re-steam.

This banquet is a sign of respect for the elderly by the imperial court, and there must be no accidents, so all aspects must be taken into account.

In addition to this change of dishes, there are also those who persuade the elderly, and this persuasion is not to persuade the elderly to drink more, but to persuade the elderly to drink less, so as not to drink too high.

There are also those who specialize in feeding the elderly, and some are old, and the food clamp is unstable, so these people have to help.

The prefect also said a congratulatory sentence on it, hoping that these old people would live a long life and be able to participate in this banquet every year.

These old people, some of whom have read books, will answer the prefect, like some who have been demented, or who are loyal and honest, and do not know how to answer.

Because there are too many old people, the wine banquet is very busy, and the people of the prefect's yamen shuttle back and forth to ensure the smooth holding of the banquet.

At the end of the banquet, Zhihong, Yang Ke was sweating, returned home, and fell asleep directly.

The next day, Yang Ke only felt soreness all over his body, so he asked the servant to invite Cao Xixiong.

After Cao Xixiong arrived, he saw Yang Ke's spiritless appearance, and said with concern: "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's not the wine feast, you don't know. Forget it, I've done what you asked me to do, you can take a look, and then find the official matchmaker to see if there is anything wrong. ”

Yang Ke handed the written letter to Cao Xixiong, Cao Xixiong opened it and looked at it, and said to Yang Ke: "You write everything clearly, who do you need to ask." ”

"Brother-in-law, this matter is not a trivial matter, if I am not too tired to walk, I will ask in person. As the saying goes, shop around, if you are so lazy, if something goes wrong with this matter, and you want to run at that time, it will be difficult. Yang Ke hated iron a little, and wondered why Wu Bo didn't take a fancy to his sister.
