Chapter Ten

This era emphasizes the order of parents, the words of the matchmaker, the three media and six recruits, three books and six rituals. If two people fall in love freely, they will only become private relationships. If the three media and six recruits and three books and six rituals are not complete, they are called Yehe. The most famous one is "Records of the Grand Historian: The Family of Confucius": "He and Yan's daughter were born in Yehe."

Zhang Wei slept quite late yesterday, and was drunk, so he got up just before midnight today.

"Well~~~~~~~~~Oh!" Zhang Wei stretched out his long and stretched his waist outside the door, fetched a basin of water, and looked at himself reflected in the water, he adjusted his expression and smiled at him.

No matter what happened yesterday, the sun still rises as usual today, and it is another new day, and life still needs to continue.

Zhang Jian knew that he would ask for leave from the Mansion School for him, so he didn't rush to go back to Fengcheng. He cooked the stove and put the rice in the pot. When he was taking the rice, he saw the moldy green tangerines in the corner. After thinking about it, he didn't move. He came to the yard to stretch his arms, shook his waist, did some warm-up exercises, jogged around the yard for a while, and sweated.

"Sigh~ Yes! It smells good!" Zhang Wei was drinking hot porridge and eating the sour cucumbers he had pickled before, feeling very satisfied.

"I have to go back to the palace to school later. I don't know if I can get a car. I will ask my third uncle later if he will go to Fengcheng today. If he brings me back, it's best to send me back." Zhang Wei was thinking about his plans while washing dishes.

"Xiao Wei! Come out quickly! Xiao Wei!" There was a little noisy outside, and some people called him.

Zhang Wei wiped his hands and pushed the door out to see that his yard was full of people. The clan elder and the girl's father that day stood in front, followed by a series of carriages behind him. The carriages were tied up in red silk. The carriages extended outside the yard, at least ten.

"Old clan!" Zhang Wei stepped forward to salute and also bowed to Yang Zhiyuan, but did not know what to call him, so he did not speak out.

"Xiao Wei, today is your wedding day, why don't you call anyone?" The clan elder said with a smile.

"My marriage?" Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, feeling that his head could not turn.

"Yes, didn't you agree to join the Yang family last night? Today, I discussed with your father-in-law that it would be better to meet the day than to choose a day. Today is a good day. Your father-in-law happened to bring the betrothal gifts of the three media, six jobs and ten cars, so he directly recruited you to his family. Come and change him into wedding clothes quickly. It will be auspicious time in a while." The clan elder urged with a hint of cunning.

"Wait a minute!" Zhang Wei shouted, but no one paid attention to him. A group of healthy women came up and dragged Zhang Wei into the room. They were very quick, from the inside out, changed Zhang Wei's good clothes, then broke his hair, applied oil, and then combed it back into a bun.

Zhang Wei shouted a few times, but no one answered at all, so he could only be at the mercy of others. As the saying goes, since you can't resist, then enjoy it.

The appearance of the crowd once again appeared, and the coarse bun Rushan, which was originally a bit shabby, turned into a red wedding dress woven in high-quality silk. The crown on his head was also removed, and a smooth bun was tied with a red headband. Zhang Wei's face was originally just looking straight and slightly delicate. Now that he has changed his clothes and hairstyle, he immediately changed from a poor scholar to a handsome man.

Yang Zhiyuan looked at him and nodded slightly, and the clan elder waved: "The auspicious time has arrived. Get in the car and see the bride!"

"Old clan, what's going on?" Zhang Wei was almost escorted to the big red carriage, and shouted when he passed by.

"Last night I asked you if you would like to marry into a marriage, you agreed loudly. Have you forgotten? Get in the car quickly!" The clan elder said with a smile.

It turned out that after breakfast today, the clan elder realized that what Zhang Wei said yesterday should be all drunken words, but he sent someone to invite the Yang family early in the morning. If he regretted it at this time, it would be like turning against the Yang family directly. The clan elder Zhang was already in a difficult situation.

Yang Zhiyuan brought the three media six recruits and ten car gifts that had been prepared, and he came to the Zhang family's hometown in a vast way. The clan elder knew that he could no longer speak, so he simply told the truth to Yang Zhiyuan. Yang Zhiyuan was not a good person. As soon as the two discussed, they would just do the marriage today. Anyway, the raw rice had already been cooked.

The old tribe here first sent someone to investigate and confirm that Zhang Wei was at home and monitored him not to let him leave the village. He found a healthy woman in the village to arrange the process for a while, emphasizing that he didn't care what Zhang Wei said. He had already made a decision yesterday and he would not regret it.

On the other side, Yang Zhiyuan also sent someone home to notify his wife to prepare for the wedding, and at the same time he quickly notified his relatives and friends, regardless of what they thought. Anyway, if you have time, you will come nearby, and if you don’t have time, you don’t have to make things difficult for those who don’t have time.

Then the two exchanged the Geng letters with the names of the two and their birth dates and eight characters respectively, and wrote the three books.

At this time, the three books and six rituals for getting married are: Book of appointment, Book of ceremony, Book of welcome and Nacai, Ask for names, Naji, Nazheng, Please give me a date, welcome to you,

At this point, except for the bride, the other three books and five rituals were completed in simplicity. The two looked at each other and smiled, and felt a little sympathetic.

-------------------------------------

Shi Qing woke up early in the morning. She was afraid of meeting her sister, so she got up gently. She went to the kitchen to boil Wenqing's medicine, and took some pastries made in the morning. While eating, she boiled the medicine. When the medicine was ready, it was already dawn. She brought the medicine and pastries back to the room and saw that her sister had woken up. She brought warm water first, scrubbed her face and hands with a towel, and blew the medicine one by one, and fed it to Wen Qing carefully. Wen Qing looked at her sister with a smile.

"Why are you laughing at? Isn't this medicine bitter?" Shi Qing said in confusion.

"Although the medicine is bitter, the heart is sweet. I don't know who will be blessed to marry a caring person like my sister in the future." Wen Qing said with a smile, then her face changed, and she felt that she seemed to have said the wrong thing.

"Your little mouth is smearing honey? I will never get married in my life. I will just wait for you to get married and have children. I will follow you to help you take care of your children." Shi Qing said casually as if she was unaware of it.

"Then I won't marry, you can take care of my child at home!" Wen Qing said playfully.

At this time, the door of the house was suddenly pushed open.

"Shi Qing! Shi Qing!" Shi Qing's mother came in in panic.

"Mom! What's wrong? What's wrong? Tell me slowly." Shi Qing saw that her mother was panicked and hurriedly comforted her.

"Your father sent someone to say that you will get married in a while. Hurry up and dress up. The person is coming soon!" Shi Qing's mother waved her hand, and several maids and mothers behind her came in with wedding clothes, jewelry, rouge, gouache and other items.

"Get married? Mom? Who is getting married?" Shi Qing was stunned for a moment, feeling that she couldn't turn her mind.

But her mother ignored her, and as a result, the medicine in her hand sat at the head of the bed and fed it to her sister Wen Qing, who was also confused.

"Wait a minute! Mom! I won't marry!" Shi Qing shouted, as if she hadn't heard it.

The maids and mothers quickly broke the girl's bun on her head. A good-faith woman who had invited specially made up her hands, applied hair oil, and recombed it into a woman's bun. She muttered while combing, "One comb to the end, two combs until the white hair is up to the eyebrows, and three combs to the ground all over the children and grandchildren." This is the head.

Then she took out a thin twine, pulled it with one hand in the middle, tied it to the thumb and index finger of the other hand, forming a crossed triangle, rolling around Shi Qing's face, tidying all the hairs on her smooth little face, and trimming her beautiful eyebrows and temples one by one, which is to open the face.

Then he took out the rouge and water powder to add makeup to Shiqing, changed Shiqing from the inside to the outside to the red wedding dress, and finally put the golden flower and eight treasure phoenix crown on Shiqing, pinned it with a phoenix hairpin, put it on the robe, fixed it with a fishing ring, and straightened the pendant in front.

During this period, Shi Qing wanted to resist several times and was held down by the maids and mothers. When she was dressed neatly, she saw Shi Qing's bright and beautiful face, and her face was even more dignified and elegant. Her lips and teeth were red, her eyes were white, and her eyes were bright and charming. It turned out that the most beautiful moment for a woman was when she put on her wedding dress.

The house has also started to be cleaned up. Several maids and mothers helped Wen Qing back to the room, replaced the quilt with a festive red color, and pressed red dates, peanuts, longans and lotus seeds under the quilt to symbolize "being young son early". The doors and windows were pasted with red paper-cut big red "囍" characters, and the whole room was filled with red festiveness.

Shi Qing looked at her mother with a confused look on her face. Her mother stood up and walked around Shi Qing, and said with relief: "My Shi Qing has indeed grown up."

"Mom! What's going on? Can you explain clearly who am I getting married?" Shi Qing asked her mother again.

"Why do you ask me? Didn't your father say that he had already made a reservation with you?" Mother said with a smile.

-------------------------------------

The old and father-in-law joined forces,

All media appointment gifts are required;

Sisterly love is deep and never marry,

My mother, please ask if I don’t know.
