In the early morning of winter, the earth is dyed with a layer of hoarfrost, and the road is frozen hard.
Zhang Chao had a fox fur scarf around his neck, and only a pair of eyes were left around his face.
Early in the morning, he was picked up by his father and practiced his gun first, and then he was driven out to Chang'an.
Today is the start of the Zhangjiaxin cellar, and it is also the day of worship.
Although the Qin Chengluo family in Chang'an City had already been notified, in order to show solemnity, Dad still asked Zhang Chaoda to run again in person early in the morning.
"You must remember to go to Cui's Mansion in person, you will be a family soon, and you can't be rude."
Whether Zhang Chao wants it or not, the marriage between Zhang Chao and the little lady of the Cui family is already going on step by step.
There are no clouds in the sky and no rain, and there is no matchmaker on the ground to get married.
Qin Qiong, the prince of the Winged Kingdom, personally came forward as a matchmaker, and there was a thousand taels of gold as a gift, and the marriage was discussed very smoothly.
When the Tang people got married, they paid attention to the six rites and three books.
The first gift is Nacai, the man asks the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose, and after the woman's family agrees to discuss the marriage, the man's family prepares a gift to propose.
Nacai is the head of the six ceremonies, and he has to send geese.
Nacai is followed by asking the name, that is, the combination of eight characters.
The matchmaker came forward to ask the woman's name and date of birth, Tang women, before getting married, the big name will not be revealed to the public, usually only use the nickname when she was born in March.
Before officially getting married, you have to ask for your name, and you have to send geese when you ask for your name.
It is said that the purpose of asking names is twofold, one is to prevent close relatives with the same surname from marrying, and the other is to combine the eight characters of the birth date to determine whether the marriage is appropriate.
However, under normal circumstances, the combination of eight characters can always produce a suitable result.
After asking the name, it is to accept the levy, that is, to make a decision to give a gift.
The two ceremonies of Na Zheng and Najib were carried out together, and Na Zheng sent the ceremony, and Najib made up his mind.
At the same time, Najib also has to write a book of marriage and a book of rites, the book of marry, that is, the marriage contract, and the book of rites is the list of gifts when he is married.
Dad, Qin Qiong and Cui Shanfu moved very quickly, three books and six ceremonies, Zhang Chao did not participate at all, he had already completed the four ceremonies and took two books.
Now all that remains is the invitation and the second ceremony of the wedding and the wedding letter to pick up the bride on the day of the wedding.
From the perspective of the law of the Tang Dynasty, the two families of Zhang and Cui have already exchanged marriage letters, so the little lady of the Cui family is Zhang Chao's fiancée, and Cui Shanfu has also become Zhang Chao's future father-in-law.
Both families can now be regarded as in-laws.
Thinking that he had become his fiancée without even seeing each other, Zhang Chao felt quite bitter in his heart.
If the other party is not good-looking and has a bad personality, wouldn't it be a pit for the rest of his life But Qin Qiong took all the marriage books back, and now that my father is hiding it tightly, it is impossible for Zhang Chao to withdraw from the marriage.
He dared to mention that his father and Qin Qiong would definitely beat him to death.
"You say, is there any way for me to meet the little lady of the Cui family?"
Zhang Chao asked a few followers around him, Cheng Yanjin's eldest son Cheng Chumo and Niu Jinda's eldest son Niu Jianhu, Li Shiji's younger brother Li Gan, plus Qin Qiong's general Qin Kang, Zhang Chao's account office Ma Zhou, and Ke Bake Thirteen and Zhang Shuzi, now that the nine of them are traveling, they also feel a little bit like traveling.
Niu Jianhu and Li Gan are both sixteen or seventeen-year-old teenagers, and now as the representative of the board of directors, they were thrown to the Zhang family by their father and brother, and it was called exercise, anyway, Zhang Chao felt that they were quite heartless, but the dignified prince threw his son to the countryside to exercise.
However, Zhang Chao is quite compatible with these guys, especially Niu Jianhu, who feels like a second-year teenager, not like Niu Jinda's son, but very reckless like Cheng Jinjin's son.
Li Gan is similar, not at all full of calculations of his eldest brother Li Shiji.
These guys, after a meal in Zhangjiagou, fell in love with Zhangjiagou and Zhang Chao.
"Let's just go over the wall and go in, I know where Cui's Mansion is."
When the cow saw the tiger riding on the horse, he immediately came up with a bad idea.
Who doesn't know where Cui's mansion is, although the Cui family is not as down-and-out as before, they are also relatives of the emperor and a wealthy family.
But casually, you have to climb over the wall and enter someone's house, you really think that the Cui Mansion didn't take care of the home, even if you don't, what will people think after seeing Miss Cui "If you want me to say, the third brother is just too blind to worry, not everyone who marries is like this.
With Uncle Qin and Uncle Zhang in charge of you, it will definitely not harm you.
You haven't seen it, but Uncle Qin, the matchmaker, must have seen it, since he didn't say anything bad, it must be good.
Cheng Chumo felt that Zhang Yu was worried.
Under normal circumstances, if the two families propose marriage, they will find an opportunity to take the man Xiaolangjun to the woman's house before the official decision, and then in the middle, the woman will arrange for the girl to show up, which will also give each other a preliminary impression.
But Zhang Chao's matter was handled by Qin Qiong and Father Zhang, and it was completely arranged, and he was never allowed to play at all.
"Third brother, I thought of a way, Cui Lvshuai who joined the Flag Army, I know him, he is Cui Xiaoniang's brother, we can ask him for help."
Li Gan's words were amazing.
"What, Brigade Marshal Cui who joined the Flag Army is Brigade Marshal Cui who guarded Yanping Gate during this time" Zhang Chao asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's him, Cui Yan, the third brother doesn't know him" Zhang Chao felt that he really didn't meet in his life, he didn't expect that Cui Yan was actually the brother of his fiancée.
"What a brother" "Half-mother, Cui Xiaoniang's mother is the daughter of the Zheng family in Xingyang, Cui Kuzhen's first wife, and Cui Lvshuai's mother is a maid of Cui's mansion, and he is a concubine."
The maid gives birth to a child, which is far inferior to even a concubine giving birth.
A concubine gives birth to a son, or a concubine, but a maid gives birth to a son, in fact, she is not even a concubine.
In the Sui and Tang dynasties, the knighthood system was inherited by the heirs, except for the country without the descendants, and the concubines wanted to inherit, called Shaofeng, depending on the emperor's mood.
In ordinary families, concubines have no right to inherit the family, and as for the maidservants who give birth to children, they are considered adulterous children.
In the Tang Dynasty, slaves and maids gave birth to children who were adulterous children, and the Tang Dynasty laws and regulations did not take concubines as wives, did not take maids as concubines, and it was the basic principle that good and low were not married.
And ordinary people who have no meritorious lordship do not even have the right to take concubines, so many ordinary people, or ordinary rich people, they have no right to take concubines.
And even if they have the right to take concubines, under the law of good and low marriage, slaves and maids cannot be accepted as concubines, so slaves and maids must first be released as beloved, and they can only be accepted as concubines after passing the documents in the government, and the premise is that his husband must have the qualifications to take concubines and have the official position of lord.
The law of the Tang Dynasty has a great improvement in the inheritance of the father's property, and the father's property is divided equally among the sons of the concubines, but the concubines here only include the sons born to officially recognized concubines, and the sons born to slaves and maids are all in line.
In some families, if the wife is willing to accept the concubine or the adulterous child in her name, then she can have the right to inherit, provided that the wife herself has no children and grandchildren, otherwise, the adulterous child still has no right to continue.
Cui Yan looks quite beautiful outside, a son of a wealthy family, but in fact he is just the son of the Cui family, his status in the Cui family is extremely low, and the concubines born to concubines are much lower, not to mention the concubines born to his wife.
This is also the reason why Cui Yan was born in a wealthy family in the Kanto clan, but joined the army, he has no qualifications to inherit the Cui family's family business, and he can only earn it by himself in the future.
"Cui Lvshuai can help me" "I heard that Cui Lvshuai has a good relationship with Cui Thirteen Niang, after Cui Lvshuai was born, his mother died of illness, and Thirteen Niang's mother Zheng raised him."
In this way, Zhang Chao understood.
Although Cui Yan was born as a servant, he was brought up by Thirteen Niang's mother Zheng when he was young, but Zheng also died early.
Speaking of which, Cui Yan has a good relationship with Thirteen Niang, which is normal.
Cui Yan is no longer guarding the city gate, and the city gate is also guarded in turn.
Zhang Chao and the nine people found Cui Yan in the camp of the Flag Army outside the city, and they didn't see him for many days, but Cui Yan still looked like he was smiling.
"I really didn't expect that you would marry Thirteen Niang."
Zhang Chao smiled, "I didn't expect that Cui Wulang turned out to be the elder brother of Thirteen Niang." ” "Hahaha."
Cui Yan burst out laughing.
"I only found out yesterday, I often go back to the barracks once, or Thirteen Niang wrote to me to talk about it, so I went back.
Who knows, the husband that the family found for Thirteen Niang is actually you.
I was really surprised, very unexpected, I had thought before that Thirteen Niang would marry the Zheng family, the Wang family, or the Li family, the Lu family, and I also thought that I might marry Pei Wei Yang Liudu and other wealthy families in Guanlong, but I never expected that the family would marry Thirteen Niang to a villager in Bashang. ” Zhang Chao also nodded, "I never thought that I would climb to the Cui family." ” "The Cui family is not as good as it was at the beginning, and it can't talk about climbing or anything."
Cui Yan doesn't seem to have much affection for the Cui family.
Cui Yan looked at Zhang Chao seriously again and patted him on the shoulder, "In the future, you will be my sister-in-law."
In the future, you have to be kind to Thirteen Niang, if you have wronged her at all, I will hit you Zhangjiagou. ” Zhang Chao smiled helplessly, there was no way to have such an uncle-in-law who was an officer.
"Fifth brother, I'm going to Cui Mansion to invite Uncle Cui to my house as a guest in a while, and Fifth Brother will show me the way."
"I still have something to do today, so I don't have time to go back."
Cui Yan shook his hand.
Zhang Chao said with a smile, "Fifth brother, don't hide it, in fact, this marriage was completely arranged by my father and stepfather, and now I have taken the marriage book, but I haven't even seen what Thirteen Niang looks like."
As for me, I want to ask you for a favor and see if I can arrange for me to meet with Thirteen Niang. ” Cui Yan frowned, "What do you mean, are you still worried that my thirteen mother is disabled or deaf and dumb, or that she is as ugly as a saltless ugly mother."
Cui Yan said as he raised a pair of fists the size of a sand bowl, and the two fists smashed against each other.
"Hey, let's be reasonable, this blind marriage is always unrealistic, I believe that now the thirteen ladies must have been nervously guessing what kind of character I look like, what kind of character or something, why don't you do a favor and arrange for us to meet, if the thirteen niangs feel that I can't get into her eyes when they arrive, this also has a room to turn around."
"It's you, kid, have other ideas," Cui Yan looked uncertain.
"Gorou might as well ask Thirteen Niang what he means first, maybe Thirteen Niang is willing to see it" Cui Yan groaned, "Okay, if you go back to Cui Mansion with me, I will ask Thirteen Niang what she means, if she is willing to meet you, I will help arrange it."
If she doesn't want to, you'll have to leave again. ” "Good" Recommend a book: I play live broadcast in the Three Kingdoms, I play live broadcast in the Three Kingdoms, accept famous generals, Na'vi, take you to pretend to be b and take you to fly t1706231537:
