Chapter 220 Our family's twenty-one groom-to-be

Daxuan's Nacai and Naji are equivalent to a marriage negotiation, that is, the man invites a matchmaker to come to his door and says that my child wants to marry your girl. If your family is interested, can you allow us to come to see the girl?

It’s similar to modern times. You get information about a girl through word of mouth, and then ask a matchmaker to ask if you can meet.

However, the process of looking at each other is relatively unequal. Only the man is allowed to look at the girl. If he likes the girl, he will insert a hairpin into the girl's head; if he doesn't like the girl, he will leave the colorful silk and satin, which is called "pressure".

After the marriage negotiation is over, it is the betrothal and the betrothal. The man must send a betrothal gift.

Our boys dare to bring the girls all the way to Chu Qing. Think about it, they already have the tacit approval of the girl’s family.

Therefore, Chu Qing asked Baijiaxing to represent him to visit the house, which was the step of giving a betrothal gift.

Our boy is getting married "seriously" and is not trying to trick other girls into eloping.

The collective wedding is scheduled for August 15th. This is a festival evolved from the "Autumnal Equinox Festival" in Daxuan, and is called the "August Festival".

In August, the autumn air is crisp and the moonlight is the most beautiful. It took some effort to set this date.

For the merchants in Xinlunzhou, they hope to get married as soon as possible.

From the "Donglun Kingdom" to the "Daxuan Kingdom", the aborigines of Xinlun Prefecture are the most embarrassed.

As people who have subjugated their country and want to live a better life, those who have the ability will "change their ways" and cater to the ruling system of Daxuan Kingdom, such as those nobles.

Those who are incompetent will be trapped in a trap, suffering from the long-standing habitual exploitation of the nobles and the constraints of the Daxuan system.

For example, people in some places actually pay double taxes, one for the nobles and one for the local and state governments.

To have the opportunity to intermarry with a Daxuan person, for a businessman with a small amount of wealth, it is equivalent to not being stuck in a trap and having someone to rely on.

Therefore, families here in New Lunzhou believe that the earlier the wedding date is set, the better.

The families in Daxuan Mainland are interesting.

They agreed that their daughter would follow the man to see Chu Qing. In fact, they just wanted to curry favor with the officials.

But when Chu Qing sent someone to ensure the etiquette was complete, they felt that it was too easy and should be more careful, so they postponed the wedding as late as possible.

Marriage is bound to happen, but if you fully express your reluctance to let go of your daughter and want to stay with her longer, then if the boys want to get married, you have to give them more benefits.

The boys were tough-talking. They could no longer let go of the girl and would not allow these people to seek favors from Chu Qing.

The girls are the ones in trouble in the end.

The young men said: "Our eldest brother also paid a betrothal gift, and our little treasure also used the money and changed his name to your sister-in-law. Now that this has happened, we still want to keep more!"

Just keep it! You can keep it as long as you want, I have no objection, just return the betrothal gift to me!"

Then the girls cried and complained and made a fuss with their families. Finally, after considering the opinions of all the families and allowing time to travel to Xinlunzhou, the wedding date was set for the August Festival.

The boys all have a clear mind.

What they like is a girl, and the girl they want to spend the rest of their life with is also a girl, but it is not necessarily what the elders in the girl's family like.

Although marriage is a good way to bring two families together, it is hard to see what these people can bring to the boss, but it is obvious what the boss can bring to them.

The boss treats me as a relative and arranges the marriage, so I must not cause trouble to the boss.

I would rather not get married or get married than let the boss be held hostage by these people.

………………

Xiaobao is very busy.

He wrote his brothers' wedding invitations himself, and he wrote more than two thousand copies.

In addition to the more than a thousand brothers in my family, there are also active-duty soldiers who are close to Ma Da, and my mother's relatives and friends who have business dealings in Jizhou and Xinlunzhou, all of whom have to post.

What is more confusing now is that Xiaobao regards these boys as his brothers, but these brothers treat his mother as a peer or even a junior to protect her.

Isn't it wrong to have the word "brother" on the hundreds of wedding invitations that have already been written? Is it written in vain?

Chu Qing saw that Xiaobao was actually pulling out his hair, and was very troubled. He solved it with one sentence: "The wedding invitation is sent out in your name, and it doesn't matter how you write it. They just discuss it with me!"

It's good to be confused like this. Chu Qing feels that this is a kind of family affection from another world, and seniority is not important.

When Xiaobao had written more than two thousand wedding invitations, it was already three days later.

In order not to waste time, I finally turned on the "cheat device"-open the bow left and right and write with both hands.

Not to mention that Xiaobao was tired from writing, Zhuo Yao had done nothing else in the past three days and felt extremely tired just from grinding ink.

Xiaobao sat in the room and carefully wrote wedding invitations one by one. It was better in the morning, but by noon he was so hot that he was covered in oil and sweat.

The child's head was covered with sweat, which went straight into his eyes. The child persisted like this, which shows how much he values ​​these brothers in his heart.

Zhuo Yao felt heartbroken just looking at it.

So, when Xiaobao finished the last one and stood up to stretch his back, Zhuo Yao couldn't help but suggest: "Let's go out and play. After three days of being bored in the house, it's going to go bad, right?"

It's true, every kid can make a clicking sound when he stretches out his arms and legs.

"Let's go out and play!" Xiaobao shouted as he ran out, "Mom, I'm going out to play!"

Chu Qing just came back from outside: "It's almost dinner time, you don't want to eat?"

Xiaobao had already run to the stable, leaving his mother with a back view and a word floating in the air: "I'm eating outside!"

Zhuo Yao stopped in time and finally said a complete sentence to Chu Qing: "Xiao Bao has been bored in the house for three days and wants to go out to eat Li Ji's Ice and Snow Leng Yuanzi. Don't worry, I will bring someone to accompany him!

"

After saying that, he ran away.

Chu Qing felt that Zhuoyao and Xiaobao had been together for a long time, and they were a little smart: they didn't eat when it was time to eat, but they went to eat shaved ice.

But it’s not easy to think about Xiaobao being stuck in the house for three days on a hot day writing wedding invitations. Just go, kid!

Everyone in Chu's house was busy, and everyone doing business had to go about their business, so these twenty-one boys were circled in the house and asked to decorate the house and new house with their own hands.

The original servants in the house, led by Huang Rong and Mu Nianci, were cleaning the house inside and out, and Xiaobao's escort team was busy following them.

Chu Qing's escort was sent out to rent an inn and buy wedding supplies.

Since it is a mass wedding, it is not possible to pick up the bride from the girls’ natal homes, which are too far away, so several inns must be booked and decorated as the girls’ “natal homes” to pick up the bride from here.

Lao Yu and Lao Zhao were responsible for picking up the "convoy" - Vosma.

As Chu Qing ordered, the modern wedding team must have good cars and equipment.

The horse alone is not enough, a uniform high-end saddle must be customized, and the bridle and reins must be wrapped with red silk cloth embroidered with gold threads.

All the people were out, those who ordered bridal sedans, those who bought firecrackers, those who ordered snacks, those who bought expensive flowers and bonsais... and the grooms' full wedding attire.

Other people's families have to be busy when one child gets married, but our family has twenty-one children! Just for the grooms' boots, we hired fifty cobblers to make them.

Xiaobao mounted his horse and was about to leave, but Zhuo Yao refused and wanted to call the boys from the escort team.
