After that, there will be a chapter around 12 noon and a chapter at about 8 pm. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info fix the time, so that everyone can read.

After a while, there is also a "single chapter" that Cangshan wants to say to everyone.

11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111

On the tenth day of the first month, Ma Dawei and Zhang Siniang became a gift of asking for fame.

...

There has been a lot of rain in Dengzhou since the beginning of summer, but fortunately, the weather is beautiful, and it has been sunny in recent days.

On the tenth day of the Lunar New Year, it was another sunny day, and the sixth aunt put on a set of newly made satin robes, and also pulled a new bun, and made a Poria hairpin on her head, which was very energetic. Walking with his head held high, step by step, the silk handkerchief in his hand was shaken out of flowers, and the last time he went to Zhang's house to ask for no confidence, it was completely two extremes.

Can you not be spiritual? The last time I went, I didn't have any hope of making it happen, so I naturally couldn't get angry. But who would have thought that these two families in heaven and earth would actually become. Although it was a family affair that Tang Dalang personally said, these two families were all the work of his six aunts, and in the future, his six aunts would also be beautiful.

When I went to Zhang's house to ask for her name today, the sixth aunt naturally had to dress up well, and it was good not to fall into the majesty of the Ma family.

...

The six rites of marriage are different from the six rites of Tang Yi's apprenticeship. It is not a symbolic gift, but a real ritual process.

They are Nacai, Asking for Names, Najib, Nazheng, Invitation, and Welcome.

Na Cai is the process of the sixth aunt who came to the door before. It is intended that the man will ask the woman's parents for their opinion to see if there is any intention of marriage. If the woman's family does not object to this family business, the man will choose another auspicious day for the matchmaker to come to the door again, and write the woman's age, name, and birthday on the Geng sticker to invite her back, which is to "ask for a name"

After the man retrieves the woman's name and eight characters, he must perform divination in front of the ancestral spiritual seat. Bu is auspicious, and then stick Geng in front of the ancestors to worship for a few days to see if there is anything ominous happening. If all goes well, the bride's family is notified and the marriage is decided, which is called "Najib".

The next step is to "enlist", the man orders someone to bring the dowry to the woman's home to formally propose, which is commonly known as the next engagement, the next or the engagement.

Only after the gift of the levy can the two family affairs be truly decided. Not only is it recognized by the people, but it is already legally binding, and no one is allowed to break the contract without authorization, otherwise he will suffer a lawsuit.

After that, there is a "request period", that is, the parties agree on the marriage date;

"Greeting" means that the man marries the woman through the door, and at this point, he can be regarded as marrying the daughter-in-law home.

These six rites also reflect the importance of the parents' orders and the words of the matchmaker in the ancient rites.

From beginning to end, there is nothing about the bride and groom, and the elders and matchmakers dominate everything. What's more, the newlyweds and men have never met before the cave room, and whether they marry back is a beautiful lady or a saltless woman, and they can only know at the moment when they lift the hijab, which is no different from the size of the pressure.

It's like the later life, not to mention free love, you have to "inspect the goods" before marriage, and only then do you plan to get married. The marriage is just a meeting between the two families, having a meal, and everything is settled.

There are even more young people who steal the household registration book and forcibly get the certificate if they don't agree with each other. Even if this is put in the very enlightened Tang and Song dynasties, you will have to be killed by an unfilial descendant.

.....

The sixth aunt arrived in Tang Ji early in the morning, and Tang Yi and Ma Laosan served with good wine and food as usual. After the sixth aunt had breakfast, Tang Yi mixed another bowl of cardamom tea for the sixth aunt to eat.

After drinking the tea, the sixth aunt shook the silk handkerchief out of Tang Ji. Tang Ji was waiting outside to buy fried food, and when he saw the sixth aunt dressed up and coming out of the store, he couldn't help but quip:

"Yo, the sixth aunt has been eating again, I don't know which little lady she is targeting this time?"

Tang Ji wanted to marry Ma Dawei, and the neighbors all knew, and the last time the sixth aunt went to Zhang's house to propose marriage, it was also rumored that the whole city knew.

It's not that they deliberately publicize it, but the tongue-chewing Xu Pozi in the south of the city proposed for the second son of Qian, and happened to meet the sixth aunt. After this mother-in-law went back, she spread a lot of rumors, saying that Ma Dawei was blinded by lard, and she couldn't do anything, and she wanted to marry Zhang Siniang.

Although everyone doesn't think that Ma Dawei is a humble body, they also feel that some idiots are dreaming, so ambitious.

The sixth aunt glanced at everyone with a smile and scolded: "A group of pickled idlers watching people in the crack of the door! How? The old body is to be a matchmaker, and the family matter has been decided, so I will ask for the name and take the Geng sticker. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and one of them immediately laughed and scolded, "This old woman is really not virtuous, Ma Laosan is blind, why did you invite this mother-in-law, no matter how good the girl is, she will be scared away by you!" ”

Another person said: "The sixth aunt really doesn't like what she says, but Dawei's family affairs have been settled?" Which little lady is it? ”

The sixth aunt glanced at the man and said hatefully: "I won't tell you!" When you get married, you idler will be hungry! ”

After speaking, he flicked the silk handkerchief, and shook his head three times through the person.

Everyone laughed for a while, and they didn't take Aunt Six's words seriously. Ma Dachuan is also a maid no matter what he says, he has no house and no property, even if he marries, he may not be a good lady.

....

Before the sixth aunt had walked a few steps, she saw Tang Dalang chasing her out of the store and shouted to the sixth aunt: "Auntie, bring a message to Uncle Zhang, you don't need to start a fire tomorrow morning, come to me and have breakfast together and go out of the city." ”

Everyone was stunned and listened to Tang Dalang's meaning....

Aunt Six, this is going to Zhang's house...

Which Zhang family?

It won't be...

Zhang Siniang's house, right?

.....

Tang Yi's unintentional words aroused everyone's interest, and he hurriedly asked Ma Laosan, who was guarding the big stove, which little lady was it. Ma Laosan also sold Guan Zi and laughed silently.

He actually has a fire in his heart, who doesn't want people to look up to him? No one wants to be looked down upon!

You all said that my family Dawei couldn't marry Zhang Siniang, so the old man didn't tell you, and then he would blind your dog's eyes.

The best lady in the city has settled in our Ma family, what's the matter? Defy? If you don't accept it, you will marry one!

.....

The sixth aunt swaggered through the city, all the way to Zhang's house in the east of the city, outside Zhang's house, no, she didn't want to meet the person she wanted to touch, and she didn't want to touch.

Mrs. Xu!

This thief has a cheap mouth and a black heart, and the sixth aunt is disgusted when she looks at her. Naturally, I didn't want to touch her.

However, when I met it at this time, it made Aunt Liu's heart indescribably transparent. Moreover, as long as you take a look, you can know what this person is here for, which makes the sixth aunt feel even more refreshed.

Mrs. Xu is not alone, but with a group of servants, carrying small bags and large boxes of various gifts.

Seeing the sixth aunt coming from afar, Mrs. Xu couldn't help frowning, "Why did this poor woman come again?" ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Xu to open her mouth first, the sixth aunt screamed from afar:

"Yo! Isn't this Xu Yapo? How? Is this going to be hired? I don't know which good thing it has become? ”

Where else can I go at the door of Zhang's house? Besides, she also knew that Mrs. Xu was not hired, and she was promised to Ma Dawei, what else did she hire?

Mrs. Xu was uncomfortable by her swallowing, of course she didn't come to hire her. The application hasn't been submitted yet, what kind of hire will you make? It's just that the Qian family has made a lot of money this time, and this time let her bring a heavy gift to propose, so I don't believe that Zhang Quanfu was not moved by such a heavy gift.

"Yo, the sixth aunt is not extravagant. Why, Ma Dawei's subordinate is still not giving up on the Zhang family's little lady? Mrs. Xu did not show weakness, when it came to quarrels, she really wasn't afraid of anyone in Dengzhou City.

The sixth aunt didn't answer her, but circled around the servants who were carrying gifts. "Old sister, it's really a good business, it's all about the matchmaker of the rich family, this dowry is not light, it's enough for our small family to earn a lifetime." ”

Mrs. Xu knew that the sixth aunt was buried in her heart, and she said: "The sixth aunt is an understanding person, and the fourth mother of the Zhang family is not something that everyone can worry about." If you don't have a little family background, you are embarrassed to go to the door of Zhang's house? ”

The sixth aunt suddenly said: "It turns out that you are still here to mention the relatives of the Zhang family?" Or is it the second son of Qian? ”

The sixth aunt pouted, "Then the old sister should be careful, Qian Er's virtue, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling are all good, if Siniang has a bad life in the Qian family in the future, the old sister will be poked in the backbone by Zhang Quanfu." ”

Her yin and yang weird appearance made Mrs. Xu's nameless fire swoop, and she wrinkled her old face and said in a deep voice: "Whether you are doing well or not is a matter of the two families, what does it have to do with the old body?" Don't slander with false words! ”

"How is it slander?" The sixth aunt pretended to be puzzled and said: "Speaking of matchmaking, it is a two-handed support, and whether it is good or bad is all in the mouth of the matchmaker." The responsibility in this, the old sister has been a tooth woman for so many years, and she should know it better than the old body. ”

"You!" Mrs. Xu was speechless for a while, so she had to say hatefully:

"I advise you, don't mix blindly here, even if the old man can't say that he can't be this family, he Ma Dawei doesn't have to daydream. Even if Zhang Siniang is blind, she will not go to Ma Dawei's nest to suffer. ”

The sixth aunt didn't care, and glanced at the big and small bags of gifts with envy, turned to Mrs. Xu, and smiled deeply, "If the Ma family can't succeed, then the Qian family can succeed?" ”

Mrs. Xu snorted coldly, "The rich side of the Qian family, even if Boss Zhang has doubts for a while, sooner or later he will understand the benefits of marrying the Qian family, and he should not worry about this family." ”

The sixth aunt smiled secretly, and she didn't know where this thief's confidence came from, and said in her heart, the more arrogant you are, the more uncomfortable it will be for a while.

Ignoring Mrs. Xu, who had an old face, the sixth aunt went up to the door of Zhang's house and buckled the knocker.

The servant of the Zhang family, who came out to answer the door, opened the door and saw that it was the sixth aunt, so he hurriedly made a gesture, smiled and said respectfully: "Why did the aunt come, the master has been waiting in the hall for a long time." ”

As he spoke, he led the sixth aunt towards the courtyard, and never looked at Mrs. Xu and the pile of gifts from beginning to end.

...

Before the sixth aunt entered the door, she slanted a provocative glance at Mrs. Xu, which made Mrs. Xu so angry!

"What's the situation? The old man came to visit with a heavy gift, why hasn't anyone taken care of it yet? ”

I was apprehensive, and I subconsciously followed in.
