Xi Zhong is Guo Jia's fellow villager and one of Guo Jia's most important teams in the early days.

Guo Jia also attaches great importance to it.

Zhongshan County is the foundation of Yunzhou, and as the Taishou of Zhongshan, Xi Zhong is the de facto manager.

Under one man, above ten thousand.

For Xi Zhong, Guo Jia is very trusting. When he went on several expeditions, he stayed in Xizhong to guard the base camp.

Of course, Xi Zhong is also loyal to Guo Jia.

Now that the two are not only classmates and friends, but also in-laws of their children, their relationship is naturally closer.

When he was drunk and hot, Xi Zhong suddenly remembered something again.

He put down his wine glass and said sincerely: "Lord, now that the external and internal troubles in Yunzhou are gone, you should also rest." ”

"Rest, naturally it's time to rest!"

Guo Jia raised his glass and drank it all.

In other words, he has always been a hands-off shopkeeper in Yunzhou, and he usually doesn't ask much about things.

No, no, no!

Xi Zhong hurriedly shook his head, his tongue was also a little bigger.

"The subordinate means that you should also think about your own affairs."

Own business!

Guo Jia was stunned for a moment.

Immediately understood what Xi Zhong meant.

This guy hasn't given up yet, so he has to go to Cai Meimei to give up.

"Lord!"

Xi Zhong persuaded bitterly: "Miss Cai is both talented and beautiful, graceful and generous, and she is really the best candidate for the housewife." In addition, Cai Yilang is famous, and the lord has become his son-in-law, which can be regarded as a good story. ”

It is said that this lord is good at everything, and the only bad thing is that he took the path of the ten permanent servants, and formed a relationship with the scholars of the Han Dynasty.

The celebrities and scholars hated the ten permanent servants to the core, and naturally refused to come to Yunzhou to give in, which was very unfavorable to Yunzhou's recruitment of talents in the future.

Cai Yong is a famous man in the dynasty, and if Guo Jia can become his son-in-law, it will be very beneficial to his future career.

Therefore, Xi Zhongcai is impatient Yucheng This is a good thing.

Besides, the two are also talented and beautiful, and they are a good match.

Marry Cai Yan as his wife!

A burst of warmth flashed in Guo Jia's heart.

This is his heart's desire.

When he saw Cai Yan for the first time, he had already made up his mind to get Cai Meimei in his hands.

If it weren't for Zuo Ci and Zhang Ning's affairs, I'm afraid the two would have achieved positive results a long time ago.

Broken!

Thinking of double cultivation, Guo Jiameng remembered one thing.

At the beginning, Zuo Ci once warned him that he must be with Zhang Ning and cultivate for one year before he can touch other women.

With Zhang Ning's pregnancy and the conquest of the Southern Xiongnu, Guo Jia had long forgotten about this matter.

Not long ago, I just had a while with Murong Yu'er of the Xianbei tribe.

There are no side effects, right?

Thinking of this, Guo Jiadeng became scared.

Although he didn't believe in Zuo Ci, he didn't dare to gamble with the happiness of the rest of his life.

He began to calculate carefully whether there was a full year.

Just then, a faint voice came.

"Mr. Xi, don't say it. Lord Thorn Shi is very resourceful, so he naturally doesn't take such a small matter to heart. ”

The wind is light and the clouds are light, and the fall is generous, it is Cai Yan.

Her face is not very good-looking.

Originally, she heard that the two were drinking in the backyard, and she planned to come over to take a look, but she didn't expect to come here and hear this section again.

Rao is Cai Mei's eyebrows are generous, which will also be a little angry.

Guo Jia, this bastard, still dares to hesitate, you really can't marry Cai Yan?

Wen Ji!

Seeing Cai Yan coming, Guo Jiadeng woke up a little drunk.

Not good!

He immediately realized that the hesitation just now might have misunderstood Cai Yan again.

Seeing Cai Meimei, she looked very unhappy.

Guo Jia immediately remedied.

"You're just in time?"

He grabbed Cai Yan's right hand.

"Zhicai suggested that we get married sooner, I think so too, otherwise how about we get married tomorrow?"

Tomorrow!

Xi Zhong and Cai Yan were taken aback.

Please, getting married is not an easy matter.

The Han Dynasty advocated Zhou rites,

The whole process of marriage is called the "six rites", that is, Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, inviting dates, and greeting in person.

Nacai is the man's family inviting a matchmaker to the woman's house to propose marriage. If the female family agrees to the marriage, the male family formally proposes to the female family, and the formal proposal must bring a live goose as a gift, so that people can accept the meaning of their choice. In the "Rites and Rituals", it is said: "When the ritual is issued, the goose is adopted." ”

Asking for a name is when the man asks the matchmaker to ask for the woman's name and eight characters in order to prepare for marriage. It is recorded in "Etiquette and Ceremony": "Bin Zhiyan, please ask the name." Most of the words of the name are: "If a certain person is ordered, he will be added to the Bu, and he dares to ask the woman to be whom." "If the woman agrees, the gift is given; The male family determines the good luck and evil through divination. If the male and female characters are combined, then proceed to the next step.

Najib even informed the woman of the good news of the divination marriage, and also gave it as a gift to the wild goose - in later generations, it was mostly with gold and silver jewelry and other gifts. It is equivalent to the current engagement, commonly known as sending the appointment, passing the appointment, and fixing the appointment.

Nazheng means that the man's family sends the dowry to the woman's family, also known as Na Yuan, big hire, excessive gift, etc. Because in ancient times, it was a gift to hire more geese, so the dowry gift was also called "commission bird". 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.

The date of the marriage is the date in which the man chooses the date of marriage and then prepares a gift to go to the woman's house and ask for permission to get married. Now it is commonly known as "mentioning the day" and "sending the sun".

To welcome the bride is to marry the bride. Methods and etiquette vary, but generally men go to the woman's house to welcome them. After returning to the man's house, the bride and groom eat together, and then cut a gourd into two halves, and the husband and wife each hold one of them, pour wine and drink, which is called "Heyi" - this is the origin of the cup of wine in later generations. This process is one of the most folk phenomena in marriage culture.

Of course, this is just the etiquette of ordinary people.

Guo Jia is the Yunzhou assassin of the Han Dynasty and the title of Marquis of Guannei, and this wife has to inform the imperial court.

In addition, Cai Yan is Cai Yong's daughter, Cai Yong is a great Confucian in the world, and Confucianism attaches great importance to etiquette.

Fortunately, Cai Yong is in Yunzhou, so he doesn't have to rush back to Chen to stay and hire.

Still, it's hard to start preparing now without two or three months.

"So long?"

Guo Jia couldn't help but be taken aback.

Xi Zhong couldn't help but roll his eyes.

It's still streamlined.

If you count waiting for the approval of the imperial court, it will be at least half a year.

Hearing that Guo Jia was so impatient, Cai Meimei's face turned obviously cloudy.

She seems to have misunderstood Guo Jia just now.

It seems that Guo Jia can't wait to marry her.

Bong Hyo!

Cai Meimei suddenly wanted to speak and stopped, she originally wanted to say something considerate, but when she thought that Xi Zhong was still here, her voice gradually became quieter.

Xi Zhong immediately hugged his fists and said: "My subordinates are not strong enough to drink, so I will leave first!" ”

Saying that, he staggered away.

Although he drank a lot, his mind was still very clear.

The next should be the private time of the main princess mother, and it is a little inappropriate for him to stay here any longer.

Xi Zhong is very interesting.

Besides, he has achieved his goal.

The lord finally agreed to take a wife.

Once the two are combined, it will inevitably be a great joy in Yunzhou.

Without further ado, Xi Zhong must also hurry up and prepare.
