A Weird Theater That Started In London
Chapter 278
After listening for a long time, Ding Yuan would have laughed loudly if he hadn''t considered that this place was a battlefield.
"Does Meng Ming have an engagement?"
Hearing the speech, Lu Li sighed secretly, pretending to be calm and said, "the family is in decline. I don''t have the blessing to get a wife."
In fact, the Lu family is also a poor family who has been out of the county Cheng. If Lu Li really wants to get a wife, how can he not find it?
It''s just that cheap dad Lu Xu has a high eye and has to be a good match——
Not the legitimate daughter of the Hao family in Taiyuan county.
But at that time, Lu Li was nothing more than a white body. He didn''t have any literature or martial arts. He had nothing but a handsome face.
Now, Ding Yuan, the chief of the state, will marry his only daughter. Can Lu Xu, who is looking forward to revitalizing the family, agree?
Although Lu Li''s family background has long been found out, after hearing what he said, Ding Yuan still had a strong smile on his face. Lang said, "hahaha, why can a big husband have no wife?"
"Meng Ming is a rising star in our Bingzhou army. If you want to get a wife, you can''t just look for beauty. You must find someone who is not only beautiful, but also has a good family voice."
"Promise."
Lu Li replied vaguely, not knowing what to say.
Frankly speaking, they all hinted to this extent. If they were other people, they would have taken the initiative to propose marriage long ago, but Lu Li didn''t want to get a wife at all. In addition, it was too menglang to do so.
Ding thought that his confidant''s love would be thin skinned, and he didn''t urge him. After all, it seemed less solemn for the elderly to talk about marriage with the younger generation. When he calmed down the civil strife in the state, he discussed major matters with his father about his children.
At this point, Ding Yuan looked up at the silent enemy camp in the distance and said, "after fighting all night, go back and have a rest."
Hearing the speech, Lu Li quickly arched his hands and said, "at the end of the day, I will leave. The Lord also entered the account earlier to have a rest. He was cool and invaded the body. The Lord is the hope of the whole army and must rest."
Ding Yuan nodded.
Not long after, the two separated in front of the Chinese army tent. Lu Li returned to his camp and asked the bodyguard to soak two willow branches. After this thing was bitten off with his teeth, the willow fiber inside would come out and can be used as a toothbrush.
Killing thousands of people meant nothing. The LORD came out again. Therefore, after a little grooming, Luli, who was hard to sleep, simply lay on the soft couch in armor, thinking and waiting for the war to start again.
In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he became a general valued by one of the princes. Not only that, he will marry the daughter of the Lord——
How many people in the world can get such a dream start?
"But I''m just a passer-by."
With this in mind, Lu Li sighed and began to think about how to deal with it. First, Ding Qinyu must marry. First, he can''t get rid of it. Second, he can enjoy the cool under the big tree. Once he is Ding Gong''s son-in-law, he can run across the world, at least in the three prefectures of Heyou and Hebei.
Unconsciously, Lu Li, thinking about the double perfection method, suddenly thought of a possibility, and the more he thought about it, the more effective he felt, he sat up——
Drag.
In my memory, if people in this era want to get married, they must be divided into six parts, also known as six Rites:
Accept the lottery, ask the name, accept the auspicious, accept the levy, ask for the time, and welcome in person.
Marriage is not complete until it is completed, and the more dignified people are, the more they value these steps.
The so-called lottery is actually a marriage proposal. The heads of the two families sit together and talk about their children''s marriage. They are almost satisfied with their children''s marriage. The man chooses a good day and invites someone with status as a matchmaker. The more noble the Confucianism, officials and generals are, the better. They go to the woman''s house to formally propose marriage.
The matchmaker can''t come empty handed. He must bring gifts, and there must be a wild goose.
The cold wind in Bingzhou in March made all the geese fly south. They can''t fly back until the middle of April.
But it''s OK to replace it with something else, otherwise northerners won''t marry in winter?
If the woman''s family agrees, it''s OK to use geese. Qianshou people don''t even have geese at home. Then make do with ducks. If there''s nothing, find a piece of wood and carve a poultry yourself (if you''re so poor, what daughter-in-law you want to marry).
Of course, if you want to marry an expensive girl like Ding Qinyu, you must use wild geese, so this step can be delayed for more than a month.
In the second step, it''s not easy to ask the name. When the matchmaker in formal dress comes to the woman''s house, he not only needs to give a gift, but also needs to ask the eight characters of his birthday and take it back to calculate whether there is any place for the two men and women to compete with each other——
Definitely not.
If a fortune teller dares to say yes, his cheap father Lu Xu doesn''t cut people with a knife. Ding Qinyu, who hates to marry, has to ask someone to beat him up and blame him until he can marry.
Well... It takes time to find a reliable Xiangshi, at least two months.
Next is Naji. Catch another wild goose and ask the matchmaker to send things. This step has a lot of operation space, because it is connected with the gift giving.
We should select two talented children with official positions among our relatives. One is the "letter envoy" and the other is the "Deputy letter envoy". If no one in our relatives is an official, find a brother who has a good relationship.
At this moment, Lu Li has candidates in his heart: Lv Bu and Zhang Liao!
Anyway, when you get married for the first time in your life, you must not wronged yourself. You must make noodles.
Well... With these two as envoys, Lu Li dares to say that no one in the whole man is more arranged than his own marriage.
The so-called letter envoy is to send a wedding letter. The two escorted a nanmu box bound with colorful lines. The title of the seal reads "intermarriage letter", and behind them is a vast bride price carrying team.
When it comes to betrothal gifts, the big play comes.
Ding Qinyu is the only daughter of Ding Gong. In the coming troubled times, if you risk universal condemnation, she is more noble than the emperor''s daughter.
Therefore, I must not wronged her. There is no need to mention the colorful satins and large bunches of brocade and silk. What treasures of the western regions and what relics of the East China Sea can''t find a way to get one?
If you delay, you''ll have to prepare for at least two months.
The next step is to read out the intermarriage letter, which was read out by the official envoy, while Ding Gong stood opposite. After listening, the old man accepted it, took out the long prepared marriage letter, read it aloud in front of relatives and friends, and finally handed it to the second envoy and gave it to the cheap father Lu Xu.
Na Zheng is over. It won''t take long.
"Alas..." Lu Li knelt down at the table and rowed with his fingers, calculating how long he could drag at most when he reached this step.
It''s almost October. It''s early autumn.
At that time, the wild geese would fly south for the winter and harvest another wave——
The fifth step is to catch wild geese.
It adheres to monogamy and is the animal that can best interpret love loyalty.
Lu Li personally grabbed a goose with pure fur and handed it to the matchmaker. The matchmaker came to the door and asked Ding Gong when he would marry a girl.
After November, there will be heavy snow in Bingzhou. I''m afraid it will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year, probably ten days after April.
In the sixth year of Zhongping, the emperor died and civil marriage was banned. By the way, which month did the spirit emperor die?
At this time, Lu Li, who could fly with his wishful thinking, scratched his head. It seemed to be May. Yes, it was may!
