The matchmaker who came to Zhang Luo's appointment today is definitely not a good person, but she is definitely a smart person in the market.

what to say and what not to say; What rules can be overcome, and what rules cannot be overcome. Such people are clear in their hearts.

As one of the oldest professions that began to emerge with the advent of private ownership and women's trading, they have their own heritage and experience.

The two people behind him carried two big white geese instead of the wild goose to follow behind the witch, and the witch lightly buckled the closed wooden door, and after three clicks, he asked loudly, "Is anyone at home?" ”

The door was not bolted inside, and it was near the market in broad daylight, but no one opened the door after three consecutive calls.

The two people carrying the white goose behind couldn't help but say, "Isn't it not at home?" Still don't want to ignore us? ”

The witch turned around and said with a smile: "Two ink comrades, don't talk nonsense. This is intentional. ”

"Marriage between men and women, natural reason, that is the rule that Taihao had when he was there, the biggest joy. Nothing pleases Taihao God more than a male and female bow. ”

"This is deliberate, just to let people know that someone from their family has come to propose. If you two have a girl, and no one has proposed marriage when you reach the age of Jilu, but you are still happy? ”

After reassuring the company commander when he first came here as a commander and the first instructor of the handout class here, the captive who was carrying the white goose in the back shouted a few more times.

At this time, there were people around to see the excitement, and it was estimated that the inside was almost there, and the witch pulled the two men carrying the white goose to his sides, and whispered: "Don't stand so far back, and don't deliberately hold the geese, let people see but don't deliberately." ”

Inside, he really waited for the time, opened the door, and asked, "Please come in." “

When everyone was welcomed into the courtyard, he let them into the house and sat down, and brought some melon seeds, dates, and the like.

After dividing the guest and host to sit down, it was inconvenient for the girl to come forward at this time, so she could only be outside with her parents.

When he knew that it was time for him to play, he said: "There is a way, there are four seasons in the year, and there are four seasons in people. ”

"Flowers bloom in spring and bear fruit in autumn, the principle of nature."

"I heard that there is a good girl in the family, and when she is of age, it is time to prepare a bribe for her."

"There are people in the south who sing well."

There are plums, in fact, seven xi! Ask me to be a gentleman, and I will be lucky!

There are plums, in fact, there are three Xi! Please, my gentleman, I am in the future!

There are plums, and it is a basket! Ask me to be a gentleman, and I will say it!

"There are no plums here, but there are apricots. This apricot will be ripe, seven points today, three tomorrow, the sooner you pick the better. ”

"When it is the most prosperous and green, where can you not be in a hurry?"

The husband and wife on the other side have quarreled and quarreled, and they will never disagree again at this time, so the mother came forward and said: "How can you not be in a hurry? It's just that I've never met a guy she likes. ”

Wu clapped his hands and said, "Hey, this is a coincidence, I have a young man here." It was when he was young that he served as a company commander in the Takayanagi Army and made many meritorious achievements. I'm looking for a good girl, I heard that there is a good girl in your family, so I think two people are worthy of each other, and if you change someone else, you still can't match each other. ”

"This guy's surname is Shu, his name is Prisoner, and his family is ......."

The witch unfolded the means, which can be regarded as a lotus flower, and said the age, family and other situations of the captive.

It turned out that the first time I went to Nacai, I didn't have to worry about the food, because it was difficult to say whether this matter would succeed or not, and it turned out that everyone was poor, not nobles, and they really couldn't afford to entertain others with anything to eat.

As the saying goes, the noble are afraid of thieves, and the poor are afraid of customers, which is the truth.

Today, there is no need to take care of rice, but compared with the dates twenty years ago, there are more melon seeds and a pot of tea soup.

The witch talked for a long time, but the other side didn't seem to react, and the two people sitting behind him with geese didn't know what this meant.

After talking for a long time, the hostess on the opposite side just pushed the plate of dates to the side of the witch, and then turned her eyes away.

The witch stretched out his hand like electricity, grabbed a handful of dates at the moment when the hostess was not paying attention, and did not know where it was hidden on his body, and continued the previous topics.

The two geese are coming up, where can they understand the current situation, I don't know why, the goose in their hands doesn't know whether to put down or continue to carry it.

Fortunately, the witch kicked them lightly, and the two of them hurriedly put the goose on the ground.

The rules of Sishang are different, the woman will come out directly when they meet, and the man will also come forward when he is in Nacai, and because of Si's schooling, it is likely that the two of them have already met.

The woman here did not come forward, the two of them were not the elders of the prisoners, but at this time they were the most suitable to come forward.

Just like the middle-aged man who was in charge of the Gaoliu Xuanyi Department said that day, he was about the same age as his parents, and in the Mo family in Gaoliu City, they were all in charge of the party, and it was not appropriate to let such a person go to someone's house.

The two of them had never experienced such a scene, and they could only be like many people who went to the "Tianzhi Pavilion" in Sishang for the first time, and they were really stunned and couldn't interject.

After talking for a while, the witch took the initiative to say, "Oh, it's not early. That's all that I said, and I'm leaving. ”

When he got up, the two people from the opposite family also got up, and when they walked past the two pairs of white geese, it seemed that no one saw them.

The hearts of the two people who carried the white goose before said, this is considered to be done? Still didn't work out? Why is there no reaction?

But the witch smiled, and when she went out, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, the hostess suddenly returned to the house, and said, "Oh, why did your geese fall?" ”

The two people who were carrying the white goose before didn't know whether to pick it up or not, and their hearts said how to say this? Is this disagreeable?

Who knew that the witch coughed lightly and motioned for the two people to take it over, and after the two people took it, the witch sang in that sacrificial tone: "The two geese fly together, never leave." If you can't find another one, you can chirp straight away. ”

"Let the goose ask the girl's name and birthday."

She took the white goose called the wild goose in her hand, and the hostess who had just sent the wild goose to the other side took it, and made a gesture of invitation, inviting the group to come into the house and sit down.

The two inkers who followed the man's family thought that this matter was yellow, and they didn't want to have a turn for the better, so they couldn't help but be overjoyed.

But the witch knew that the other party had agreed from the beginning.

Zhuxia is expensive with dates, which is not expensive in price, but a kind of nobility under the hierarchy, for example, peaches are obviously better than dates, but if you use peaches instead of dates in some sacrifices, there are no rules.

When she was sitting inside and talking about things, the woman's family pushed the dates forward, signaling that it was okay to talk.

The witch took the opportunity to grab a handful of dates and hide them, that is, to ask for good luck, signaling that he had stolen very valuable things from the woman's house - referring to his daughter.

Under normal circumstances, even if the woman sees it, she will pretend not to see it, at most, she will feel unlucky when she sees it, and she will be suspicious.

Normally, the nobles carried two pairs of geese.

For the first time, I gave it as a gift, and I would like to introduce the man.

And when it's time to leave, when you get to the yard, take out a pair again, and then ask for your name.

Civilian families rarely use wild geese, because wild geese are trespassing, which is a doctor's gift.

Civilians use cloth and soldiers use arrowheads, but even if cloth is used, it is impossible to prepare two copies: now they are all many children, and everyone has sons and daughters, so there is no need to find their own absence.

So it was very compromised, and an unspoken rule was formed.

The two programs of Nacai and Ask Name, with the same pair of gifts, the previous dates are a hint, and when you get up to give each other, you don't look at the gift and wait until you go out to send the gift back, which is the second hint.

Wait until you receive the gift and then invite someone in, which means that the second procedure of the wedding will be carried out: asking for names.

At this time, they were not able to eat, but with the planting of new crops and the use of iron tools in recent years, each family has a surplus of food.

And the next step after asking the name is to divinate whether it is auspicious, this step can generally be ignored and go through the motions. After this step is completed, it is the real dowry, engagement date, dowry negotiation and the like, that is, the last step of "come with a car and bribe with me".

It's all come to this point, and it's supposed to be a meal, and there are basically no accidents - the only accident left is that the south uses "divination and murder" as an excuse to regret marriage, but it is generally impossible to get to this point, especially the Mo family's divination about weddings, he is not fierce.

As the saying goes, "the servant invites, the guest holds the goose, and the name is asked." The master promises, please receive, as the first ceremony" is the step of Nacai into asking for the name.

Entering the house again, this time accompanied by the male host, normally both the male and female hosts have to accompany each other, the aristocratic etiquette is naturally impossible for the nobles to cook in person, but if there are servants in the civilian family, the hostess must prepare the meal for entertainment.

After sitting down, the host said: "Little girl Xing'er, Gengchen Nian ......"

This is to say the name, birthday, age, originally need to have a good memory, to remember word for word, because this kind of thing will only be said once at home, and it is unlucky to ask the second time, so you can't ask the second time.

However...... Twenty years ago, Sishang had paper and a simple charcoal pen, and the witches took out the paper and pen from their arms like a trick, and swished to use the "words" in their circle to write the birth date or something, and carefully put it away.

The words in their circle are sufficient to record the years, and as for girls' names, the general names are very common at this time, because fictitious, imaginary words that can only be constructed are rarely used now. Generally, it is a name such as jacket, jujube, and apricot.

The aristocracy uses a surname, such as Wen Jiang, not that according to the rules of later generations, this woman is called Jiang Wen, but a woman surnamed Jiang, who is called "Wen" because of her talent; Her sister Xuanjiang, that is because she married Wei Xuangong, later generations called Xuanjiang, indicating that this is Xuangong's woman.
