Chapter 166 Talking about marriage

Speaking of Juren, if you do not pursue spiritual civilization such as personal value, from the perspective of material civilization, you will definitely belong to the most enjoyable group of people. With a steady stream of investment, there is absolutely no shortage of money. Moreover, as a scholar-official class, you enjoy various privileges. In particular, there are sufficient guarantees for property and personal safety. For example, a local tyrant like Qin Bai may indeed have more money, but can you be as powerful as the government officials? In their eyes, these local tyrants are nothing more than fat sheep. But when facing scholar-officials above Juren, you have to take into account the arguments of the Scholars.

In addition to mastering public opinion, Juren is also naturally a local gentry leader, which can even influence the governance of local governments and has great social influence. Anyway, most Jinshi go out to serve as officials, and those who stay in their hometowns are Juren. It is a bit similar to those local council members in modern society. If they provoke their group, it may not be easy to do something, but what is bad for you has great energy.

Therefore, there are stories like "Fan Jin passed the imperial examination" and titles like "Jin Juren". In a sense, the happiness and sense of accomplishment of being a scholar and a Jinshi exam is indeed far inferior to being a scholar.

Ding Qingfan knew that Huang Juren had great energy, so he regretted it again. In his eyes, it didn't matter if he offended Qin Bai, but offending Huang Juren would be a huge disaster. Butler Huang and Ding Qingfan were both familiar with the rules of this era, so he wanted to use the rules to suppress Qin Bai.

However, what they both expected was that Qin Bai happened to be a person who ignored the rules. He waved his hand without hesitation: "Then throw it all out!"

Hundreds of thousands of matches in a second, who has that bullshit time to grind your teeth with you?

...

However, what Qin Bai did not expect was that Li Gan and Qin Gao were quite honest in their work. He said he threw it out, but he really threw it out without any discount. Ding Qingfan and Butler Huang performed a dog-chewing mud at the gate of Dongerfang. The butler Huang Qin Bai would not care about it, but Ding Qingfan...?

So when he returned to the inner house and saw Ding Yao, Qin Bai was somewhat embarrassed. Ding Yao was not aware of what was happening outside, full of joy and shyness: "Wait a minute... you... you want to talk to my father."

Qin Bai was speechless, what else could he say? Everyone had already thrown out. After thinking about it, Ding Yao would know about this sooner or later. So he thought about it and then briefly described what had just happened.

Seeing that Ding Yao's face became paler and the corners of his eyes gradually turned red, Qin Bai quickly comforted: "Yao'er, just live with peace of mind. I will deal with your father's affairs. After all, you are father and daughter. If you find an opportunity to talk about it in the future, there is nothing that cannot be solved."

Ding Yao's eyes gradually became firm: "Brother Bai, I am already yours. Yao'er listens to you."

By this time, Ding Yao was already discouraged. Even if she was stupid, she would consider her situation. The first time she was almost captured for gambling debts. Now it was the second time, and she could no longer believe her father.

It is not that Ding Yao has no filial piety or father-daughter relationship. There may be a brainless plot like "parents' destiny" in literary works, but in real life, there are very few people who are foolish and filial to sacrifice themselves. It is not that they are desperate, especially now that Qin Bai has a choice.

...

Unexpectedly, Ding Yao was much calmer than she thought. She seemed to let go completely and personally discussed the wedding with Qin Bai, even looking a little impatient.

This allowed Qin Bai to learn a lot of knowledge about ancient weddings. The whole process has many steps, mainly three books and six rituals.

The three books are letters of appointment, letter of ceremony and letter of welcome. The six rituals are letters of Nacai, name of name, Naji, Nazheng, request of appointment, and welcome. There are many specific contents, if you are interested, you can search. Qin Bai didn't want to feel wronged Ding Yao, and knew that women must attach great importance to their wedding, so he never thought about making any changes.

However, some objective situations cannot be solved. The matchmaker's words are simple, they are just looking for a matchmaker. As long as they spend enough money, their parents' destiny is a bit difficult. Qin Bai has no elders here, so he can decide. Ding Yao has a Ding Qingfan. So the two of them ignore it tacitly. The first thing they have done is that Ding Qingfan will never make a fuss about his family and sue the official, right? If the government ruled that Qin Bai is a man, it doesn't matter if the Ding family father and daughter will be completely discredited.

Other steps should be simplified, and those that should be simplified. For example, if Na Cheng Na Ji is matched with the eight characters of both men and women, there is no need for elders to come forward, just take out your own eight characters.

However, there are all the things that should be available, and Qin Bai is ready to do everything he can. He is even willing to pay for Ding Yao himself to buy a decent dowry. Some things seem strange, such as giving wild geese as gifts when the Nagain Procuratorate is inquiry. In modern times, it would not be possible. Unless he goes to the zoo to steal, there is no place to buy them in the market.

However, no matter how simplified and adapted it, the time for the entire process would not be much shorter. Therefore, the two of them calculated and basically it would take about half a year.

But after the discussion, Qin Bai always felt a little strange. Why did he make a fuss like doing business? And it was the opposite side of the man and woman talking about marriage?

"Yao'er, it's not a good thing to stay by my side. Even my own safety cannot be guaranteed. You can still regret it now." Qin Bai reminded at the end.

Ding Yao smiled with a hint of bitterness: "Yaoer understands, will it be worse than leaving here?"

Qin Bai nodded and understood what Ding Yao meant. She just wanted to make the marriage as soon as possible, so that Ding Qingfan, the female madman who cheated, was nervous again.

However, when I think of myself, I don’t seem to have the life to fall in love, whether it’s past and present, single or marriage. I always feel that the marriage between the two was a bit inexplicable, and there was not even a process. Qin Bai finally couldn’t help but smile bitterly: “I’m really not a good match for you because I’ve been suffering!”

However, Ding Yao suddenly misunderstood Qin Bai's meaning. She bit her lip and whispered: "Brother Bai, it's okay. Yao'er will not be that kind of jealous woman in the future. Yao'er will be kind to her sisters."

Qin Bai was stunned: "Ha?" Then he remembered that he lived happily in the old society of evil. However, he still had basic emotional intelligence. Anyway, even if he heard this, women would not care about this. Just misunderstand it! Qin Bai didn't want to defend himself.

"Brother Bai, there is one more thing I want to ask you. Where is Daddy..."

"Don't worry, I will keep him healthy for the rest of his life."
