The businessmen listened to Xia Hongsheng and understood the benefits, and their status was not high, who didn't want to have a good reputation and not want to be famous behind them?

So even if they asked for donations, they all wanted the county government to erect a stone statue for themselves, put it in a conspicuous place, and be admired. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The resources needed to build five schools were enough in an instant, and there was even a lot of surplus.

Xia Hongsheng solved this problem, and thought that he could rest for a while again, but he never thought that after just two more days, someone came to the door again.

It was Li Gang and Yan Shigu who came to the door, and Xia Hongsheng hurriedly went out to meet him and introduced them into the hall.

In other words, this Li Gang looks quite good, his face is ruddy, and he is also very energetic when he walks his way, not at all like a person in his eighties. But Xia Hongsheng seems to remember that Li Gang seems to have died within a few years of Zhenguan in history. After thinking about it, Xia Hongsheng attributed this to the fact that he let them have a physical examination early, let Sun Simiao diagnose and prevent them, and let them exercise. The so-called upward and downward effect, Xia Hongsheng persuaded Li Shimin to develop the habit of exercising, and the courtiers below saw that the emperor was diligent in exercising, and his body was getting better, so he naturally rushed to follow suit, so his body also got better. It seems that the few people who died early in the original history seem to be still holding on now. Xia Hongsheng is very happy about this.

Li Gang and Yan Shigu went to the main hall, and Xia Hongsheng was about to ask someone to watch the tea, but he heard Li Gang say to him: "Don't delay, don't delay!" Hurry up and call your sister-in-law out, and the old man will talk about something important. ”

Xia Hongsheng was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what was going on. So he asked, "Huh? The two masters came out of the palace? ”

Yan Shigu waved his hand: "You don't have to ask more about this matter, the old man will discuss with your sister-in-law first, and then you will do it." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand again and again, urging Xia Hongsheng to call his sister-in-law out.

Ouch, this is the marriage of this son, which is finally on the agenda!

I was a little excited to think about it - I suddenly became nervous!

Xia Hongsheng ran to the backyard with a complicated mood, called his sister-in-law to come out, and went to the front hall.

When he arrived at the front, after everyone sat down, Xia Hongsheng also wanted to sit down in the back, but Li Gang waved his arm and said, "You go out first and get busy yourself!" ”

Xia Hongsheng turned his head to take a look, and saw that the three of them looked like they were waiting for him to go out, so he had to stand up again helplessly and walk out.

walked a few steps outside, looked back, and saw Yan Shigu probe out to see if he had gone far, and saw Xia Hongsheng walking away, so he went back again.

Cut, what Ben Gongzi said is coming out, are you afraid that Ben Gongzi will not be able to overhear?

Xia Hongsheng thought about it, and then he limped down, hooked it back, hid outside the wall, and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement inside.

But I heard Yan Shigu inside say: "Jingshi hasn't returned for two years, and this marriage has been delayed until now." Now it's no longer possible. Your Majesty's side, and the palace is in charge, there is no elder in the Er family here, we are the teachers of Jingshi, Your Majesty ordered the two of us to marry Jingshi Zhangluo. Your Majesty has decreed that the two of us must be married within this year. ”

"That's great!" Xia Lin suddenly became excited, and even his voice trembled a little with excitement.

But I heard Li Gang say: "Princess Changle is Your Majesty's beloved daughter, the princess surrendered, Your Majesty was called Fang Gong before, saying that Princess Changle was born to the queen, and His Majesty and the queen loved her." Now it will be surrendered, and the number of rites will be increased, and the priest will be sent twice as much as the eldest princess of Yongjia. It shows the love of His Majesty. ”

Knowing that Xia Hongsheng's sister-in-law didn't know who this eldest princess of Yongjia was, Yan Shigu explained beside him: "The eldest princess of Yongjia is the daughter of the emperor, the sister of His Majesty, and the aunt of Princess Changle. It should be respected as Princess Changle. Your Majesty is very fond of Princess Changle, and he actually wants to go beyond the courtesy! Fortunately, Wei Zheng's persuasion made His Majesty dispel his thoughts. ”

Damn, Uncle Wei, are you nosy when you're full? This son marries a daughter-in-law, and the emperor is the father-in-law, so naturally the more you marry, the better!

Xia Hongsheng slipped outside the wall and heard it, and his heart was full of slander.

"This ...... The concubine was originally a peasant woman in the countryside, and Princess Changle was the daughter of His Majesty's beloved...... The concubine was afraid of snubbing the princess and lost her manners. Please also ask the two adults to give you advice, and everything is at your disposal! Xia Hongsheng's sister-in-law also became nervous when she heard that the emperor loved this daughter so much, for fear that her family etiquette would be inadequate and make the emperor angry, so she hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty has decreed that the marriage must be completed within this year, and the time is much shorter." Li Gang stroked his beard and said, "The top priority is to finish the six salutes immediately. Although it was His Majesty's marriage, the princess surrendered, and Jingshi was the man, and this should still be done. Time is too tight to be delayed. In the old man's opinion, by the middle of next month at the latest, the first four rituals should be completed. ”

Yan Shigu also nodded and said, "Yes, the old man also means this." The two parties have been married by His Majesty, and the marriage contract is in advance, which is much faster. The first four rituals should be performed as soon as possible, leaving time for the invitation. ”

Hearing this, Xia Hongsheng, who was eavesdropping on the wall outside the door, almost jumped out uncontrollably.

In the middle of next month? Are you kidding!

It's the end of the month!

Six Rites, Han Marriage Rites. It refers to the six kinds of etiquette in the process from marriage proposal to consummation, namely: Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Najib, asking for appointments, and greeting in person. 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. Asking for a name, that is, the man's family asks the matchmaker to ask the woman's name and date of birth. 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. The invitation date, the man's family chooses the marriage date, prepares the gift and informs the woman's family, and asks for her consent. Welcome, that is, the groom and the official son personally go to the woman's house to marry.

The ancients paid great attention to the rites, and the six rites began from the week and were strictly observed. After the Han Dynasty, due to the chaos of the world, these six rites were also relaxed. However, after the Sui and Tang dynasties, the ritual system was restored, and the marriage of the imperial family was also done according to the six rites. These six rites are indispensable at this time.

The six ceremonies are cumbersome, in this half month, don't say that it is the first four ceremonies, even the first salute, which is also very urgent!

"If you want to propose, you should have a matchmaker." Li Gang said: "The old lady can invite the wife of the prince, who is usually seen in the queen, mention this matter to the queen and act as a matchmaker." Jingshi has always been good with the buses, which is not very difficult. Because His Majesty has already given the marriage, it is considered that there is a marriage contract in advance, and these first few ceremonies can be completed together. ”

Belch...... Xia Hongsheng scratched his head outside, the emperor has given marriage, isn't the six rites just a formality? Come on, the formalism on the scene, this son is the best at it! (To be continued.) )
