Early the next morning, a horse-drawn carriage entered Yankang Fang.The net carriage traveled in the streets and alleys of Yankangfang for a while and stopped at the door of Zhao Yunze's house.Half an hour later, the carriage departed.Zhao Yunze held a small wooden box full of copper coins in his arms, and looked at a large pile of silk, silk, brocade, porcelain and other materials piled up in the gatehouse, with a comfortable smile on his face."
General Cheng is a kind person" While Zhao Yunze sighed with emotion, he also decided in his heart that he would never secretly scold Cheng for biting gold in the future.Last night, Cheng Yanjin happily agreed to Zhao Yunze's debt.Those things and money were naturally sent by Cheng Yanjin.After Cheng Yanjin promised to lend Zhao Yunze money and things, Zhao Yunze immediately ordered Mingyue and Caixia to serve hard dishes.For this reason, Cheng Biting Jin scolded Zhao Yunze for not being authentic.Anyway, Zhao Yunze doesn't have to worry about the property of the marriage anymore.He pondered that after the wedding, the guests' gifts and money would definitely be able to repay the debt to Cheng Yanjin.Wei Chigong's mansion is located in Pingkangfang, not far from Changle Fang, where Cheng Yanjin and Qin Qiong lived.When Cheng Biting Jin went home last night, he went to Wei Chigong's house and told Yu Chigong that he would accompany Zhao Yunze to Qin Qiong's house today to pay a gift.Although Zhao Yunze did not go to Wei Chigong's house in person, he thought that Wei Chigong would definitely agree to this matter.Therefore, early this morning, after receiving the materials sent by Cheng Yanjin, he waited at home for Wei Chigong to come to the door.Sure enough, at more than eight o'clock in the morning in the later world, Wei Chigong came to Zhao Yunze's house with twenty or thirty guards and servants."
Peng Yu, you are so begging for someone to do something, I was waiting for you at home early in the morning, but I couldn't see you when I waited left and right.There's no way, I have to come looking for you" As soon as Wei Chigong saw Zhao Yunze, he complained."
Uncle Wei Chi, this is my fault.I was thinking that my house is closer to the West Market, waiting for you to come, let's go to the West Market to buy things together, and save the detour. ”Zhao Yunze hurriedly explained."
Then you are not afraid of something else, and I can't accompany you on the trip," Wei Chigong said with a bad face."
Hehe, if you have something to do today, then you will definitely send someone to my house last night to tell you."
Zhao Yunze said with a smile."
Count your kid reasonable," Wei Chigong also laughed, "It's all ready, if you're not ready, let's set off here." ”Zhao Yunze frowned and said, "It's easy to say other things, but it's the most important gift, the live goose is not easy to find" "You don't have to worry about this, someone brought it for you." ”Wei Chigong said."
Ah, you can actually find a live goose at this season," Zhao Yunze was taken aback.Wei Chigong didn't explain, and directly asked one of his servants to fetch the goose.After a short while, Zhao Yunze heard the cry of "quack", and Wei Chigong's servant walked over with two big, fat, gray feathered birds."
Isn't this a big goose," Zhao Yunze wondered."
If you say that a goose is a goose, which eye can you see that this is a goose," Yu Chigong said with a playful smile."
Yes, yes, yes, it's a goose, it's a goose," Zhao Yunze nodded hurriedly.He also understood, this is the workaround, right?"
”Wei Chigong smiled, "When you arrive at Shubao's house, no matter who asks you, you will bite to death and say that this is a wild goose." ”"Uncle Wei Chi, why does Nacai have to use live geese" Zhao Yunze was very curious.Wei Chigong looked at Zhao Yunze in surprise: "You are also a person who has read books, but you don't know this meaning" "Hehe, the first time you got married, I really didn't pay attention to these etiquettes before. ”Zhao Yunze said embarrassedly.Wei Chigong had no choice but to explain: "Geese are migratory birds, migrating in cold and summer, taking the meaning of yin and yang; And because the wild geese are the most loyal, the wedding uses the wild geese.As for why live geese are used, I don't need to explain it" "Understand, do happy things, you can't use dead geese, it's unlucky." ”Zhao Yunze said.Wei Chigong saw that Liu Shanbao had already loaded many gifts into the carriage, so he urged Zhao Yunze to say: "Let's go, do you still go to the West Market to buy things" Zhao Yunze said: "Since there are geese, then you don't need to go to the West Market."
Let's go" So, a large group of people left Zhao Yunze's house and rushed to Qin Qiong's house.To go to Qin Qiong's house, you need to cross most of Chang'an City.Zhao Yunze and his party traveled slowly because they brought a lot of gifts.By the time he arrived at Qin Qiong's house, it was almost ten o'clock in the future.Qin Qiong and his wife and Cheng Yanjin welcomed Wei Chigong and Zhao Yunze into their home.Nacai is the first etiquette of the wedding, which is actually a formal proposal.In the main hall of Qin Qiong's house, Wei Chigong presented a gift to Qin Qiong on behalf of the man.Except for wild geese, there are no special rules for the gift of gifts.Zhao Yunze just prepared four silks, four silks, a few porcelain, and several books.The rest of the gifts were carried into the main hall by the servants brought by Wei Chigong, but the pair of "live geese" were to be presented to Qin Qiong by Zhao Yunze personally.If the woman's parents accept the live geese, it means that they agree to the man's courtship.Of course, these are just formalities.If the woman does not agree to the marriage, then she will not agree with the man to pay the bride price.Zhao Yunze carried the two gray geese into the main hall, and the "quack" cry of the two geese suddenly resounded throughout the main hall."
Zhao boy, what are you carrying in your hand?"
asked Cheng Yanjin knowingly."
Quack" The two geese consciously made a harmony for Cheng Jin."
Naturally, it's a wild goose."
Zhao Yunze lifted the two geese high."
Quack" "Haha, your goose's cry is peculiar" Cheng Yanjin laughed.Qin Qiong also smiled lightly: "And it's still very fat."
I've lived for half a lifetime, and it's the first time I've seen such a big goose. ”"Hehe, please smile at Yigong."
Zhao Yunze said stubbornly."
Quack" Qin Qiong stroked his beard, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Okay, so-and-so will accept your pair of geese." ”The servants of the Qin Mansion in the main hall hurriedly stepped forward and took over Zhao Yunze's two geese.Zhao Yunze finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that Qin Qiong would refuse to accept the geese, so he forced him to find live geese."
Hurry up, please let these two geese out" Cheng Biting Jin deliberately bit the word "big" and said to the servant who took the goose.The servant carried the goose out of the main hall, and the cry of "quack" faded away.The main hall was finally quiet.It was only now that Qin Qiong invited Wei Chigong and Zhao Yunze to take a seat.This is not Qin Qiong's rudeness, but someone deliberately put the woman's parents on the shelf.You can't ask someone else to marry your daughter, so you immediately invite someone to sit down and watch the tea, as if your daughter can't get married."
Brother Shubao, since you have received the gift of the bride, the younger brother will implore Brother Shubao to give a certain family concubine's name."
Wei Chigong said to Qin Qiong.This is the second etiquette of the wedding, "asking for names".At the time of acceptance, if the woman agrees to the man's proposal, she will exchange the name of the child with the man, and the name card will be written with the name of the child of both men and women, the zodiac and the birthday.After the exchange of names, the parents of both men and women will ask someone to do a fortune calculation to see if the numerology is compatible.Of course, these are also formalities.Qin Qiong took out a red envelope from his sleeve and handed it to Yu Chigong, and the red envelope contained Qin Mo'er's name post.After Wei Chigong took Qin Qiong's red envelope, he also handed over a red envelope to Qin Qiong.Thus, the gift of "asking for names" was completed.Since the woman agreed to the man's proposal, she had to leave the man to eat at home.So, the Qin Mansion held a banquet to entertain Wei Chigong and Zhao Yunze.After lunch, Wei Chi Gongcai and Zhao Yunze left.I didn't see Qin Mo'er on this trip, and Zhao Yunze was a little regretful.But etiquette is like that, and he can't do anything about it
