183 Ancient Marriage Again

The last time the book mentioned Ouyang Xinyu, who traveled from modern times to ancient times, wanted to go to the bottom of the cliff where Shangguan Wan'er fell to see if there was anything strange on this cliff. Please remember the URL of this site: . Xiaocui girl, afraid that the tragedy of their Miss Wan'er falling off the cliff would happen again, so she refused to help Ouyang Xinyu.

The two of them ate stinky tofu from under the east bridge in Furong Town and returned home, just in time for dinner, and after dinner, the two returned to Shangguan Wan'er's room.

"Xiao Cui, what I told you on the edge of the cliff this afternoon, how did you think about it? Are you really going to stop helping me? After returning to the room, sitting at the round table in the room, Ouyang Xinyu cautiously pleaded with the little cui girl.

"Miss Xinyu, Xiaocui can help you with other things, but this is the only thing that has no need to discuss! If you have to insist on going your own way, Xiaocui will not only not help you, but will also report the matter to the lord and lady, so that you can't do it at all! In the face of Ouyang Xinyu's plea to her, Xiaocui refused selflessly. Moreover, she also warned Ouyang Xinyu that if she insisted on going her own way, she would report the matter to Lord Shangguan and Mrs. Shangguan.

"Xiaocui, my good Xiaocui, don't you do this! Good no good! Hearing that Xiaocui said such a desperate thing, Ouyang Xinyu suddenly begged her coquettishly.

"Miss Xinyu, when I had dinner just now, I heard the maids in the house talking about it, saying that our Miss Wan'er's family affairs are about to be decided! Uncle, is the son of the Yang family, the richest man in Furong Town! Because the other party's family is prominent, Master Yang is the mayor of a town in Furong Town. The son of the Yang family, who has been literate since childhood, is also a talent, and the lord and his wife will naturally be satisfied! Think about how you will survive this catastrophe! Suddenly, Xiao Cui reminded Ouyang Xinyu solemnly.

"What? Xiaocui, don't scare me, why haven't I heard of this matter! Hearing Xiaocui girl say that Shangguan Wan'er's family affairs were about to be decided, Ouyang Xinyu asked her excitedly.

"Of course you haven't heard of it! There is a relative in the mansion who is a slave in the Yang Mansion, and he heard the news that it came to the mansion, and everyone knew about it! I also found out when I heard the girls in the house talking in private during dinner today! The little cui girl replied to Ouyang Xinyu.

"What are you talking about, the subordinates of the Shangguan Mansion know about this matter?" Hearing Xiaocui Yatou say this, Ouyang Xinyu's eyes suddenly widened, and she asked Xiaocui Yatou as if she didn't believe it.

"Yes, everyone should know about this matter except for you!" Xiao Cui pointed her finger at Ouyang Xinyu and replied to her with great certainty.

"Then you mean, even the lord and the lady know? Why didn't I hear them tell me at dinner? Ouyang Xinyu still asked the little cui girl unwillingly.

"Miss Xinyu, don't forget, this is in our ancient times! In this way, what has not happened yet can only be regarded as rumors. Moreover, this matter is related to the lifelong event of Miss Wan'er in our house, how can the lord and the lady sue you in the wind! Faced with Ouyang Xinyu's look of not believing her to death, Xiaocui reminded her.

"That is to say, as long as the other party comes to the house to formally propose marriage, and the lord and wife accept the dowry, this matter will be considered completed?" Ouyang Xinyu stopped arguing with Xiaocui girl, she suddenly asked Xiaocui girl.

"Miss Xinyu, our ancient wedding procedures pay attention to the 'six rites'. That is: kissing, asking for names, najib, recruitment, invitation, greeting. Due to regional differences, there are great differences in various places, but the essence is similar. The Six Rites have been used for thousands of years, and Qing Dynasty weddings also implemented their intentions, which were divided into three stages: marriage, engagement, and marriage. The little girl replied to her.

"Xiaocui, I know that this 'greeting marriage' means marrying a daughter-in-law, so what does it mean to accept relatives, ask for names, Najib, Na Zheng, and ask for a date?" Ouyang Xinyu didn't understand what the "six rites" meant, and she asked the little cui girl suspiciously.

"To accept relatives is to propose marriage; Asking the name is to ask the other party's birthday; Najib is a marriage; To levy is to give a bride price; The invitation period is to inform the woman first and obtain the woman's consent after the marriage date is determined. Xiaocui replied to Ouyang Xinyu's words.

"It's so complicated! How do I feel and still don't understand? Hearing Xiaocui girl's explanation of the "Six Rites", Ouyang Xinyu said that she still didn't understand. She tilted her head as if she couldn't figure out what was going on, and looked at the little green girl helplessly.

"Well, I'll explain it to you again! The 'Six Rites' I told you are the procedure for weddings of the Han people in ancient times. Qing Dynasty weddings carried out their intentions and were divided into three stages: marriage, engagement, and marriage. Marriage proposal is to choose the object, which is equivalent to accepting the lottery and asking for the name; Engagement is to establish the marriage contract between men and women, which is divided into small and large, small is equivalent to Najib, and large is equivalent to Nazheng; To get married is to hold a wedding, which is equivalent to welcoming relatives. Miss Xinyu, do you understand that? Seeing that Ouyang Xinyu was confused, Xiaocui had no choice but to explain to her in detail again and said to her. And asked her, did she understand?

"Your Qing Dynasty weddings are similar to our modern ones, why is it so simple, there are only three stages?" This time, Ouyang Xinyu understood it, she knew that the wedding in the Qing Dynasty was divided into three stages, which was too simple! In this way, doesn't it indicate that as long as the man and the woman decide to get married, they will get married soon? It's terrifying, it's terrifying! Ouyang Xinyu muttered and asked the little cui girl.

"It sounds simple, but it's not as simple as you think! Some details are still very complicated and cumbersome! Facing Ouyang Xinyu's muttering, Xiao Cui explained to her.

"Well, what if, I don't agree to this family business? Is it possible to stop this marriage? Suddenly, Ouyang Xinyu asked the little cui girl whimsically.

"Miss Xinyu, are you sure that you are not joking with Xiaocui when you talk like this? Do you think you have the power to stop this marriage here? In our ancient times, women had a humble status. What's more, you are also a daughter of a government family! Faced with Ouyang Xinyu's question, Xiaocui didn't answer her words directly. Instead, he asked her one question after another. Then, he told her that women had no status in ancient times, not to mention that she was replaced by a young lady of the government.
