Chapter 708 engagement
Hearing this, Zhou Yong was even more unhappy!
The competition is too fierce, it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law!
"You better shut up!"
He didn't speak, he could still be happy for a whole night, but only for a moment.
Li Xiangyu pursed his lips, and did not say anything.
In the evening, as soon as he got home, Zhou Yong started shouting again.
"Mother~ I can get a daughter-in-law or not depends on you and my father~ Mother-"
Seeing Zhou Cheng also sitting in the main room, he instantly got stuck, "Uh~ Dad came back so early?"
"Um!"
His heart moved, "Father, did you leave early when you came back so early? Is there anything important?"
Zhou Cheng glanced at him and said nothing, intending to hang him.
While he was scratching his head, Pei Xiu said with a smile, "Prince Prince looked for your father in the evening, and after beating a bit, let's go to the Imperial College to invite Mrs. Jijiu to be a matchmaker and propose marriage in the East Palace. "
His eyes lit up in an instant, and he said ecstatically: "Really? So fast?"
"Don't you want to hurry up? Aren't you in a hurry?"
"No, no, I'm in a hurry, I'm so anxious! Thank you, father, thank you mother, the child's life-long affairs depend on you." He put his hands together and begged!
"Mother was surprised when she heard it. Today's wedding ceremony is over, and the crown prince went to find your father. Is this the credit of Princess Xuexi?"
Zhou Yong smirked and said, "Should I?"
"You haven't discussed it?"
"She only said that when choosing a son-in-law, the prince and the princess would ask her for her opinion." He didn't expect it to be so fast!
Pei Xiu said with a smile: "Silly boy, treat the county master better in the future!"
"Don't worry, mother, I will definitely follow my father!" Zhou Yong said happily.
The speed of the Zhou family was also very fast. Early the next morning, Pei Xiu took the gift to the house where the wine was sacrificed in the Imperial College.
The East Palace had ordered someone to say hello yesterday, so Pei Xiu also went through the motions, and the wife of the Imperial Court's sacrificial wine directly responded with a smile.
The two surnames were married, and they signed a contract together. Look at the peach blossoms on this day, Yi Shi IKEA, Bu He Nian is full of melons, Er Chang Er Chi. I would like to use the white-headed covenant to write to Hongjian, so that the alliance of red leaves can be written down.
There are six kinds of etiquette in the process from marriage negotiation to marriage, namely: accepting, asking for names, accepting, accepting, asking for an appointment, and personally welcoming.
The adoption ceremony is the first of the six rituals. If the man wants to marry the woman, he asks the matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman. After getting the answer, he asks the matchmaker to formally accept the "gift of selection" to the woman's family.
Knowing that he is going to shoot the geese in three days, and take the salute, Zhou Yong laughed silly all day while he was on errands, and the fool knew it was done!
Li Xiangyu poked his chest, "When will you invite me to a wedding wine?"
"It's early, I just got the birthday horoscope, just wait."
"You really got it?"
"What does it mean to be successful? It's so ugly, the eight characters have just been slapped, you are not allowed to shout out!"
"Understood, brother, I have sense."
Asking your name is the second of the six rituals.
That is, the man sends a matchmaker to the woman's house to ask the woman's name and date of birth. After retrieving Geng Tie, Bu Ji joined the eight characters.
Of course, the Royals are different.
In ordinary people's homes, it is the woman who provides the man with the eight characters of the birth date. When it is their turn, it is the Zhou family who will hand over the eight characters of Zhou Yong's birth date to the East Palace.
Najib is the third of the six rituals. It is the man who asks the name and combines the eight characters, notifies the woman of the auspicious omen of the marriage, and gives a gift to express the etiquette of getting engaged.
Donggong was also afraid of having too many dreams at night, so he intended to set the wedding date earlier, so the ceremony was also very quick and efficient.
In less than half a month, the first three rituals have been completed, and the next is the fourth ritual, Na Zheng!
Acceptance levy, also known as accepting Cheng and accepting coins, is the fourth of the six rituals. It is a man who gives a dowry gift to a woman.
"Book of Rites, Huiyi" Kong Yingda Shu: "If you accept the levy, you will also accept the employment of wealth. The recruitment is also successful. First you will accept the employment of wealth and then get married."
In less than a month, the Zhou family's dowry had already been carried into the East Palace, and the guards in the palace envied Zhou Yong's luck.
Looking at the posture of Donggong, there is a sign of getting married soon, which is really cheap for him.
It's all because Xidi came and went out, the beauty that Zhou Yong wanted to hug was not so easy to return.
Although it was a temporary and hasty engagement, the proper etiquette was not lost. The East Palace had already been prepared after entering Beijing, and even the county master's mansion had been prepared early.
Those who are particular will start preparing the dowry when their daughters land.
Therefore, there should be, as many as the Princess Xuexi!
After the levy is over, it will come directly to the invitation period!
The invitation period is also known as the announcement period, commonly known as the election date. It is the fifth of the six rituals, and it is when the man's family sends someone to the woman's house to notify the date of marriage.
Of course, they went the other way, and Donggong told them directly that there are two good days for them this year.
One is on the eighth day of May, and the other is on October 16th, and it is implicitly informed that I hope it will be later.
The Zhou family also agreed directly, and chose October 16th. It just happened that the weather was not hot and the autumn was cool. The new candidates were also more comfortable this month.
And the ceremony to go has been finished, it can be regarded as a decision, and the only thing left is to welcome the relatives.
This time, the ministers in the middle court can no longer ask Princess Xuexi to marry. After all, she is already engaged, and even the wedding date has been set!
The East Palace has this confidence, and the princess born from the concubine is not favored, and there is absolutely no way to compare with the granddaughter.
What's more, Xue Xi is the only one!
The two princesses in the harem were happy for a few days, and then fell into anxiety again.
They were so afraid that Sidi would go to the paper again and ask to kiss the princess.
Their worries were not unreasonable. It was only in April when the border gates came to report, and Xi Di was about to move, and began to station troops at the border gates again.
And a new document was sent, with arrogant words, and a strong request for the Princess Xuexi to be with her relatives.
This is maddening the court and the opposition!
The white-eyed wolf is nothing but the same. Originally, I thought that the Great Xia Dynasty had provided food and drink to the new King Xidi for a few years. He should be close to the Great Xia Dynasty. , as soon as it was put back, the troops were stationed at the border.
There are also ministers with unclear minds, shouting: "If Donggong is willing to send Princess Xuexi to be with her, there will be no war there, and Princess Xuexi is the reason!"
This is maddening the prince and grandson.
Taisun said angrily, "I am a dignified and powerful country, do I still fear that a mere Xi Di would have to endure humiliation and seek perfection, and be reduced to relying on a woman in exchange for peace?"
"Is the Great Xia Dynasty so unbearable? Are the sons of the Great Xia Dynasty all cowards? There is no blood? If there is a war at the border in the future, I will send the women to go to relatives, and the Great Xia Dynasty will not be far from the country!"
"What is the purpose of Mr. Li's remarks? Could it be that Xi Di's spy was sent to disturb my court?"
Mr. Li who spoke out, his legs trembled instantly, shouting that he was wronged!
