Chapter 132 years ago

"About and after the New Year, there will be many tribe members working outside in my Changwen Marquis' Mansion. I want to decide the rituals quickly. It is also my father who wants you to recognize some relatives first, which should be of some help to you."

Not only some help, but it must be quite a bit of help.

Changwenhou Mansion is a big family in the Fujian civil servant system. Its true potential strength is far inferior to the Zhao Wang Mansion in the civil servant lineage. After all, the Great Wei is a national system dominated by civil servant politics. From the center to the local government, the influence and actual power of civil servants are far greater than that of military officers and royal families.

King Zhao can't directly interfere in local government affairs? The impact of Changwen Hou Mansion on local government affairs is far beyond that of King Zhao.

Putting aside emotional factors, this is what Xu Zixian most likes.

There are at least twenty or thirty tribes in Changwen Hou Mansion who serve as officials in various fields in Fujian, ranging from county magistrates to magistrates or magistrates in one state, and there are also magistrates who are the official seal officials. Although they seem to have little official position, they are connected with each other and their ability to make decisions about government affairs is not inferior to the chief officials. Moreover, the Changwen Hou Mansion has been passed down for a hundred years, not only by their own tribe members, but also by their relatives and relatives, not only by Fujian Road, but also by all walks of life in the south.

If Xu Zixian had only been determined to be a tutor in Nan'an, the Changwen Hou Mansion would not have helped him very much, but if he was interested in using his strength and would cover the entire Fujian Road and even the south in the future, the Changwen Hou Society would have great help, at least in the talent reserve, waiting for a leap.

Of course, Xu Zixian would not use all the people in Changwen Hou Mansion for his own use. First of all, he should strengthen himself. External help can be used, but he cannot rely entirely on others, otherwise sooner or later there will be a risk of being too arrogant.

"I will ask His Highness King Qi to perform the ceremony of the tribute tomorrow..." Xu Zixian bowed and said, "The face should be enough."

In the six rituals of ancient times, Na Cai asked a matchmaker to come to the door to talk about the matchmaking, ask the name, and ask the eight characters to see if the eight characters are in harmony. Then Na Ji, who will tell the woman the result after he got the auspicious omen.

Generally, when the wedding is at the third step, you can still regret it. In fact, many weddings die in the second step.

When you arrive at Na Zheng, you will send the bride gift to the woman's house. Once the woman accepts it, the marriage will be decided in name and is legal. None of the party can break the marriage at will.

When it comes to the ceremony, it is time to set the wedding day and wait for the last step to welcome the wedding.

By the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Zhu Zi’s family rituals were used instead, with the six rituals as the nine rituals. In fact, it was almost the same, but some procedures were divided into two steps, making it more complicated.

Even in modern society, protecting the media and giving brides is basically a process for reaching a marriage contract. From ancient times to the present, since the beginning of China, the core of the wedding has really not changed much.

"Enough." Chen Zhengzhi said happily: "I think His Highness of the King of Qi will also give Nan'an Marquis Mansion and our Changwen Marquis Mansion a face."

Chen Zhengzhi looked at Xu Zixian and said, "You are too tired, I won't disturb you. I will rush back to the city early tomorrow morning and wait for your news to prepare."

"Okay..." Xu Zixian knew that this future brother-in-law had a wink and knew that he wanted to comfort the people in the inner house and would not stay here for a long time.

Now he sent Chen Zhengzhi to the door, and his brother-in-law slapped his head and said, "I'm confused. My father told me that there are many places to use money here in Nan'an. Mingda, you are not well-off now. For bride prices, it's better not to exceed ten thousand yuan."

"I can only do my best." Xu Zixian felt relieved. Generally, when two marquises get married, the man's dowry will not be much different from the woman's dowry. For example, the man pays tens of thousands of dollars, and the woman's dowry will usually be 15,000 yuan, which is always slightly more than the dowry. In this regard, it is different from the common people. The woman's dowry is to protect the woman's status in the man's home, and it is also considered the woman's private money. Under normal circumstances, the man will not use it.

This is different from the situation where the man offered a wedding room with a bride and the woman could give nothing after hundreds of years.

Pointing to the painting on the wall, Xu Zixian smiled and said, "Of course, my elder brother will take this painting away tomorrow."

"I won't be polite." Chen Zhengzhi said this, and Xu Zixian reacted as expected without any hesitation or hesitation. Although this matter was natural, there would still be variables before it was decided.

Changwen Hou Mansion or Changwen Hou Mansion, but Nan'an Hou Mansion is very different from half a year ago. Chen Zhengzhi was worried in his heart. If Xu Zi succeeded first and then his mind changed, things would be a little troublesome. The result now certainly makes Chen Zhengzhi feel happy. If he can marry Xu Zi first, he will feel happy for his sister. When he goes out, he will feel floating.

"Congratulations to brother, little sister." The shiny little sister also felt a sense of comfort. Two complex emotions appeared on the face of a girl in her teenage girl, which was quite inconsistent.

"Did you think of your father and mother?" Xu Zixian understood quite well and said slowly: "This time I worship my ancestors in the New Year, I have a lot of things to say to my father."

"He must be very happy." The little girl's eyes turned red in an instant.

The biological mother of the siblings died early, and the father has always been the elder brother and sister since they remembered it.

In order not to ask the brother and sister to be wronged, although Xu Yingbin had two concubines, he never married again. There was no maternal mother in the mansion and would no longer have a legitimate son and daughter. Of course, the brother and sister would not be bullied or neglected.

In fact, even the concubine did not give birth to a child. When Xu Yingbin couldn't afford it, he had already given the two concubines a sum of money and got married again.

This was also the norm at that time. Women would not force them to be widowed. Although widowedness was considered to be noble in character, most women would remarry, let alone concubines with lower status.

The little girl knew how to advance and retreat. She knew that Xu Zi must have some explanation to Xiu Niang first, so she said a few words and left early.

Xiuniang waited for Xu Zi to have a meal first, and asked someone to bring a large bucket of bath water to ask Xu Zi to take a bath first.

On a winter night, Xu Zixian, who had not closed his eyes for a day and night, couldn't help but moan comfortably.

"You have worked so hard." Xiuniang pressed Xu Zi's shoulder first, her eyes full of pain and pity.

"If many heroes can achieve great things, they have to endure hardships." Xu Zixian lay down halfway and said, "There may be people who have smooth sailing, but most of them only see their glorious side, but never see their hardships."

Xiu Niang smiled and said, "It's what you said, I only saw the thief eating, but I didn't see the thief being beaten?"

"By the way." Xu Zixian also laughed.

He turned his head to look at Xiuniang and said softly: "Do you feel wronged?"

"How can I..." Xiu Niang's eyes rolled down, her eyes turned, and she looked at Xu Zixian very seriously, and said, "A woman wants to rely on a good man for the rest of her life. She is born to be a family and cannot be a master. How can she make the decision by herself? If she can choose, I really want to meet you early. But even if she meets you early, I can't take over you. Even if she is Miss Chen San, her identity is higher than me, and she has to endure that there is already a me in the back house? Women are like this. I wish that their own men are men who stand tall, but men who stand tall can't have a woman's truth?"

Xu Zi was ashamed. Women would not recognize this truth hundreds of years later. If he had said this at that time, the straight man would have to wear the hat. If he dared to promote it in person, he would probably be scratched by the radical little girl's face.

"Women can't go out often..." Xiu Niang said this, as if she had relieved a lot of knots and smiled with her lips: "Often the door is not out of the second door, you are busy again. It's okay if there is a little girl at home talking, but sooner or later, I'll get married. A lady Chen San comes in. At least we have a companion and we have a discussion when we encounter problems. Even if she told me last time, it would be impossible for a big wife in the back house. She thinks I'm fine, and I also think that I can't hold on to the back house of the Marquis' Mansion. She can't stand it for you. She can give you some advice. Otherwise, if you are so big, you will be very tired..."

Xiuniang smiled embarrassedly and then said, "If Miss Chen San passes the door and she becomes pregnant, you don't have to count my life. I also want to have a son soon... The man in the Nan'an Marquis' Mansion is too thin, and it's a single generation. I have to give birth to a few more sons for you. In the future, there are many sons who will guard you for the family business you have worked hard to create in the future."

Xu Zixian knew that what the little woman in front of him would be scolded as a dog in the future, and it might not be right, but now he is only moved... Who doesn’t like such a woman?

...

King Qi readily agreed to Xu Zixian's request.

Before the New Year, I would have the three rituals of honor and asking for the name, and let the three rituals be given to Xu Zi first, just ask the King of Qi. Inquiring the name and Najib, Li Yi, the marquis's mansion, had no choice but to pay the title, and of course Li Yi ran forward and behind.

Li Yi and others were responsible for all the details. This was a trivial matter. Li Yi and others ran for several days, and every day they were full of spring breeze and came back with a red face.

Everyone knows that the prince has been engaged in a marriage and a major event has been settled.

No matter what, inside and outside Nan'an Town, they look a little happy.

Of course, Xu Zixian's marriage will not be dissatisfied. Although seriously injured soldiers have died in the past few days, most of the people who can save their lives in three days are fine. Many seriously injured and disabled soldiers with their calves cut off can already be held up by someone and see the scenery outside the house.

The training of the Wu Zuo was still suspended. After the war, people's mental and physical strength were very poor. Xu Zi first gave all Wu Zuo five days off. Except for the rotating personnel, the rest could leave the camp and rest.

However, most people choose to come back to the camp after going home to visit.

People can adapt to the environment. The rules in the regiment camp are very strict. At the beginning, no one can adapt. For example, when you meet an officer, you have to stop and salute, which is to cultivate the authority of the officers. There are also queues for eating, washing, towels and coats, quilts must be hung neatly, garbage must not be thrown around at will, and even the cottage must be cleaned.

At the beginning, everyone was not adapted, but now the Wushu returned home and was not adapted. They had become soldiers and adapted to the environment and rules of the military camp. The lives of civilians were very casual and lazy. Especially during the slack season before the New Year, most of the business businesses were closed one after another. Even the diligent people could not take on work, and most of the people were idle at home. This situation actually made the Wushu not adapted. Most of the people returned to the camp after staying at home for two days.
