The procedure for discussing relatives is very complicated, but in Xinzhou, except for the Qi family and other big families with strict patriarchal laws, the general family does not strictly abide by these rules. one time.

Just because of the particularity of this marriage, neither the Qi family nor the Zhou family did it with much fanfare, until Qi Chen asked the Wu family to rush to arrange a marriage for Qi Sanlang. Qi Silang got married earlier, so Qi Sanlang's marriage was also put on the agenda.

Although Qi Sanlang's status is embarrassing, for the sake of the Qi family, there must be someone who is willing to marry his daughter to him, but the disrespectful behavior he made to the little lady of the Jiang family that time made many people hesitate.

One is that if they marry their daughter to Qi Sanlang, will it offend the Jiang family?The second is that they are worried that Qi Sanlang will say the same thing to their own daughters, which will only make them sad.

Therefore, Qi Chen called Qi Sanlang home and scolded him, and asked him to go to Jiang's house to apologize, so that others would not continue to hold on to this point.

Qi Sanlang contradicted his father for the first time, saying: "I won't go, since those big families look down on me, there must be some ordinary people who are willing to marry their daughters to me!"

Qi Chen was so angry with him, why didn't he marry someone from the right family, instead of looking for someone from a low family?

Qi Sanlang was very happy that his father who ignored him for more than ten years was finally willing to show some concern for his marriage, but it was too late, he wanted what he wanted more than his own father's concern.

He said: "Father thinks that the Zhou family and the Qi family are right?"

Qi Chen frowned, his already serious face was terribly dark at this moment.

"What's more, the Zhou family also proposed to let Shiro marry - naturally, there are Shiro's voluntary and grandma's persuasion, but if it happened to me, will daddy allow it?"

Qi Chen shouted coldly: "You are presumptuous!"

There was no trace of panic on Qi Sanlang's face. He calmly lifted his clothes and knelt in front of Qi Chen, saying: "I don't want to marry into another family, but I just want my father to tell me about a marriage. Not that bad."

Qi Chen said: "You really have someone you like."

After Fang Shi mentioned something last time, he realized that his son had already reached the age of spring heart, and he was afraid that he fell in love at first sight just like he did when he met Bai Shi.

"You refused to say it last time. If you don't say it this time, you won't have a chance."

Qi Sanlang observed his expression, and saw that his expression seemed to have softened, so he mustered up his courage and said: "She is a peasant girl, and her family does not seem to be rich."

Qi Chen's face darkened again: "If you like that little lady, you can spend some money to buy it as a concubine. If you marry her back home, she is a peasant girl, can she be a good housekeeper?!"

"I want to hire her home with three letters and six courtesy, and to be my Qi Youde's wife!"

Qi Chen snorted coldly: "You are dreaming!"

Qi Sanlang couldn't figure out why he hadn't cared about him for more than ten years, and why his father, who had been watching coldly because he killed his mother, suddenly insisted on this matter so much.

If it was for the so-called face of the Qi family, why did he let go of Qi Wangwang's matter with Zhou Shu so easily?Is it really because of favoring Qi?

Qi Chen refused to let go, so Qi Sanlang had no choice but to go to Fang Shi. In the Qi family, apart from the nurse, Fang Shi was the only one who cared about him a little bit. The only person he could think of asking for help was indeed Fang Shi.

Fang Shi heard him explain his purpose, and said bluntly: "I can't help you."

Qi Sanlang was a little anxious: "Can't Grandma persuade Daddy? But Shiro's marriage..."

Only then did Fang sigh and say: "Don't think that your father didn't let you marry a young lady of the wrong family because you didn't please him. In fact, you are his child. There is no overnight feud between father and son. Yes, how could he really ignore you? Originally, outsiders thought that you were not valued in the Qi family, and that you would have few resources in the future. If he really let you marry a peasant girl who is of no help to you, it would only be Encouraging such views will be very detrimental to you in the future..."

Qi Sanlang said: "But I don't need a lady who can help me in my official career, nor a lady with a lot of money. I just need a lady who doesn't care about my past, and won't approach me because of my status or bad luck." Or be afraid of me, and be with someone who makes me feel so at ease when I'm with him!"

"You two brothers are quite similar in this regard." Fang said.

Qi Sanlang was startled, knowing that she was talking about Qi Wangwang, but he was not very interested in Qi Wangwang's picky eyes, so he begged Fang again.

Fang didn't agree to him, but said: "Even if Brother Chun's marriage is settled, it will take some time to get married, so you should be more thoughtful!"

Qi Sanlang thought about this carefully, and realized that Fang was implying him that he still had a lot of time to think of a way to convince his father.

Qi Sanlang was finally not so at a loss, this time he didn't choose to go back directly to Biezhuang, but stayed at home.Although Qi Chen and Wu were surprised, they had no reason not to let him go home.

So when they acquiesced, Qi Sanlang seized the opportunity and spent almost every day in front of Qi Chen, making Qi Chen very angry every time.

Qi Chen scolded him: "Do you think you are Shiro? Instead of setting an example for my younger brother, I learned from him to be ashamed!"

Qi Sanlang had never been scolded by Qi Chen before, so he thought he would not be able to bear it, but suddenly found that the more Qi Chen scolded him, the more he could feel a feeling that he had never experienced before.

Qi Wangwang came home because of her marriage, and happened to meet Qi Chen scolding Qi Sanlang, but she felt it was very strange, so she ate cold melon and watched.

After Qi Chen finished scolding, he saw her watching a play nearby, so he scolded her too: "People who are about to get married, why are you still so ignorant?!"

Qi hoped to understand, and quickly handed the cold melon: "Of course I am sensible, dad eats a cold melon to moisten his throat, and later he will have the strength to continue educating the third brother."

Qi Chen glared at her angrily, wondering if he cared too little for her and neglected to discipline her all these years, which made her look so careless?

He didn't bother to pay attention to these two people, and after throwing them to Wu Shi and Fang Shi, he went out again.

Although he traveled far away, he only went to the neighboring state of Fuzhou to teach for half a month, and Qi Wangwang and Zhou Shu's marriage has already been agreed, so there will be nothing particularly important in the next half month. He needs to handle it himself.

Marriage is decided after the fixed post is sent to the homes of both parties. The "fixed post" is a post that remembers the situation of the two families. Although both parties are very familiar with each other's situation, the process still has to go.

Knowing that Qi Chen had gone far away, Mrs. Chen complained to members of Zhou: "Isn't Professor Qi the most respectful of etiquette? The two of you haven't seen each other yet, and he hastily left so far away. This is looking down on the Zhou family! "

Zhou Yuanwai was not angry, he said cheerfully: "I would be a little angry if it was me. After all, the Qi family was supposed to choose the auspicious day of the zodiac, but now it is my Zhou family who choose. It’s probably a little uncomfortable.”

Due to the particularity of the expected marriage between Qi Shu and Zhou Shu, the matter of agreeing on the ceremony cannot follow the normal steps of marriage. Qi Chen felt that since the auspicious day of marriage has become a matter of Zhou's family, he didn't have to go. Fuck it!

Isn't his act of traveling far away telling the Zhou family his attitude?

Chen asked again: "Then let the two see each other?"

Generally, the purpose of meeting each other is to let the other party know who they are marrying before they get married. Since Qi Wangwang and Zhou Shu have already known each other, can this step be omitted?

Member Zhou said: "We still have to go the whole way, so let's arrange to see each other!"

The Zhou family proposed to meet each other, but the Qi family did not refuse.The two parties set the meeting place at the teahouse that the Qi family often goes to. This is also to tell everyone that the Qi family and the Zhou family are married in full compliance with the etiquette.

Zhou Shu happened to also want to check the reputation of his own tea in the teahouse, so he arrived as scheduled.

The Zhou family chose the east tea room of the teahouse, while the Qi family chose the north tea room. The tea room is open on all sides, and only a roller blind is hung to protect the privacy of the guests.

Knowing that Zhou Shu was on the opposite side, Qi hoped to roll up the bamboo curtain, and only when Zhou Shu looked at her did she wave her hand excitedly.

Seeing her silly appearance, Zhou Shu couldn't help but chuckle.The matchmaker asked her if she was satisfied, and she nodded, "Satisfied!"

After speaking, he gave the matchmaker some rewards, and was delighted that the matchmaker said a lot of good things.

After reading the photo, the Zhou family also selected the auspicious day for the zodiac according to the two people's horoscopes, which will be in May next year.Originally, Mrs. Chen, who had a somewhat repetitive attitude, heard from the Taoist priest of Ge Xianguan that Qi Wangwang's horoscope of Universiade and God of Use is a very good fate, which not only prospers himself, but also prospers others.

The people in Xinzhou believed in Ge Xian, and they were even more convinced by the priests of Ge Xian Temple. Although she didn't understand the meaning of "Universal Luck, Use God", all she needed to know was that Qi Wangwang's horoscope was good, and that was enough.

As for the appointment, the Zhou family chose a day when Qi Chen was at home.

On the day of the appointment, Qi Chen and Mrs. Wu were going to come in person, but Qi Sanlang wanted to know if Chen Jianjiao was still at Zhou's house, so he went along with him.

The road to the engagement was very lively, and those who didn’t know it thought that some family was holding a ceremony to welcome the bride. Although the engagement was only a process before getting married, it was an indispensable step. It has been decided, no matter which party it is, it is impossible to unilaterally destroy the marriage, so the degree of grandeur is no less than the ceremony of welcoming relatives.

Qi Sanlang followed behind in a low-key manner and entered the Zhou family. Everyone's eyes fell on Qi Chen and Wu, Zhou Yuanwai and Chen. Qi Sanlang took advantage of the large number of guests and the Zhou family had no time to care about him. , So I found it among the guests of the Zhou family.

After searching for a while, he didn't see Chen Jianjiao, but he met an acquaintance.

He was quite surprised: "Brother Rong Shi?"

When Chen Zizai saw him, a trace of panic flashed across his face, but he didn't know what he thought of, his expression relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Zhou Yuanwai is my uncle, I live here, but why is Zong Hua here?"

Qi Sanlang was silent for a while, obviously he didn't want to reveal his identity, but he thought that since he called Zhou Yuanwai his uncle, he had something to do with Chen Jianjiao, so he said: "I am from the Qi family, and today I came to Zhou's house with my elders to replace my fourth brother. Hired."

Chen Zizai pretended to be surprised, and said, "Zong Hua kept it from me!"

Qi Sanlang was a little ashamed by what he said. He and Chen Zizai met by chance. That day when he came back from home to Biezhuang, he met a mother and son who were scolding their child for losing their family in the alleyway of Biezhuang. As soon as he said those words, he immediately thought of himself, and immediately felt uncomfortable.

At this time, Chen Zizai passed by, and he went forward to quote scriptures and told the mother earnestly that there is no such thing as "unlucky" in the world, but that the child is young and suitable for taking the blame.As a mother, she should take care of the child, not humiliate him like this.

Qi Sanlang didn't know whether the relationship between the mother and son had changed in the end, but he was moved to tears by Chen Zizai's words, so he made friends with him.

He reported his family background, but Chen Zizai said he was from Yiyang, and he was not familiar with the customs of Xinzhou, and he didn't even know many people in Xinzhou.He breathed a sigh of relief, and became friends with Chen Zizai.

Even on the day when he heard that Mrs. Wu was going to look for him, he was originally playing with a group of friends near Furong Lake. Later, he met Chen Zizai and invited him to join the party.

When a group of men in their teens and 20s got together, some people praised the beauties in the name of writing poems, and everyone began to discuss the beauties in Xinzhou and even the world.

When it comes to Zhou Shu, most people who have met her agree that she is a great beauty. Only a few people who want to show themselves to be unique use Zhou Shu's publicity as an excuse to retort that Zhou Shu's reputation is not good.

Later, someone inadvertently mentioned that Zhou Shu stayed at Qi's Silang's villa on rainy nights, which seemed to be "evidence" that Zhou Shu's reputation was bad.

……

"I don't intend to hide my identity." Qi Sanlang said.

Chen Zizai waved his hand: "It's because I don't know Mount Tai, and it has nothing to do with Zong Hua."

Qi Sanlang didn't want to talk to him about so many unimportant things, he asked: "Then, brother Rong Shi is actually Miss Chen's elder brother?"

Chen Zizai freely admitted: "I do have a younger sister."

Qi Sanlang asked again: "Does she often go to Chuting Township?"

Chen Zizai nodded.

After confirming the identities of their siblings, Qi Sanlang asked again: "What about Miss Chen?"

Chen Zizai asked back: "She was called home by her parents a few days ago, why did Zong Hua inquire about her?"

Qi Sanlang thought to himself that she really wanted to hide back home because she was hurt by love, suddenly felt uncomfortable in his heart, and said in a daze: "It's nothing."

Chen Zizai didn't ask any further questions, but there was a hint of calculation in his eyes where Qi Sanlang couldn't see.

The author has something to say: Wang Wang: Anyway, Shu Shu wanted to see me today, although she still couldn't make out.

Shu Shu: I just want to see the word-of-mouth of tea.

Wangwang: Grandma, change the bed into a single bed! ! !

Shu Shu: Single bed?Although the requirements for posture are very high, it is not impossible to challenge.

Wangwang: Bah!

Speaking of the ancient marriage etiquette system, in fact, before the Southern Song Dynasty, the north paid more attention to it. Because the south was far away from the political center, some people often did not buy the etiquette system. Even in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, men and women fell in love freely. It is common to play bumper cars in the woods and parents don't care about anything, and the government has nothing to do.

So here I simply don't bother to entangle with the set of strict marriage rules, it's just nonsense.
