Zhang boldly gets married
…
Not long after, rumors spread in the town that Mr. Shi had become stupid and stupid. He would sit in front of the Shi's Mansion every day eating his hands and watching passers-by giggle. Sometimes he would rush up and beat passers-by uncontrollably. Gradually, he was suppressed.
No one in the world will take the road of Shifu anymore.
After confirming Mr. Shi's situation, Boss Zhu gave up completely and agreed to the marriage between Zhang DaDa and Zhu Zhu. Although he agreed to the marriage of the two, Boss Zhu also had a condition, that is, Zhang DaDa could no longer work as a laborer, but instead
Let him go to the teahouse to work.
Boss Zhu has only one daughter. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half a son-in-law. A good daughter is not as good as a good son-in-law.
He wants to start training Zhang DaDa to take over the teahouse when he gets old. The family business he has worked so hard to save cannot just be lost.
"Li Mu, I'm so excited!"
In the Zhang family, Zhang DaDa walked back and forth in the hall and said to Li Mu with excitement on his face.
"Okay, isn't it just about marrying a wife? What about that?"
Li Mu had a headache when he saw Zhang DaDabao acting like this. Since he was never married, he didn't know Zhang DaDao's mood at this time.
"Why not? I have waited for so many years and finally waited until my father-in-law agreed for me to marry Zhuzhu. What should I do next?"
Zhang Bingdao danced excitedly and was restless in the room. His parents passed away early and died shortly after they arranged a marriage for him. No one told him what to do next, otherwise he would not have just taken the money and ran away that day.
Went to the teahouse to find Boss Zhu.
"You ask me? Stop making trouble! I've never been married!"
Li Mu was dumbfounded by Zhang's bold question. He had never had the opportunity to understand these things in his previous life, so naturally he could not answer such a question.
But this doesn't bother him. If they don't understand, there will always be someone who understands.
Li Mu blocked all the light in the room, lit the oil lamp, and called the embroiderer out.
"What does the Taoist priest want from me?"
Since Xiu Niang regained her energy that day, she stayed at Zhang DaDa's home to recuperate her soul with Xiao Xu. She was married before her death, so it was naturally the most appropriate question to ask her.
"Zhang Daring's father-in-law has agreed to marry Zhuzhu, but we don't know what to do next, so please come out and ask for advice."
Li Mu told her the news that Zhang DaDa was getting married, and then told her about the problems he was facing now and asked Xiu Niang to give her advice.
"My parents passed away not long after they got me engaged. Now I don't know what to do next. Please teach me, Ms. Xiu."
Zhang DaDaDang's eyes suddenly lit up when Li Mu called out the embroiderer. Apparently he also knew Li Mu's intention, so he waited for Li Mu to explain the situation and then asked the embroiderer for advice.
"Traditional weddings are based on the etiquette of three letters and six etiquette. The three letters refer to the letter of appointment, the letter of etiquette, and the letter of welcome. The six etiquettes refer to the acceptance, the name, the acceptance, the acceptance, the date, and the welcome."
"You and Zhuzhu are getting married at the fingertips. They should have gone through the three rituals of accepting, asking for names, and accepting. The next step is to prepare for the application period and the personal greeting."
The embroiderer told the two of them the rules of Three Books and Six Etiquettes. Li Mu had gone to weddings with his parents before, but he didn’t understand any of these, and there were very few such traditional weddings in the original world. Zhang Dadan listened especially carefully.
It is an important matter that concerns his life, so he must not be careless.
"Accepting the betrothal gift means giving a big gift. Continue to prepare the betrothal letter and gift letter as well as the betrothal money, gift money and betrothal gift. Bring these to the woman's home to betrothal and get married at a selected date."
"That's what you have to do now. Choose a good and auspicious day. If the girl's family doesn't have any objections, you can prepare the wedding letter and hand it over to the girl when she gets married."
The embroiderer calmed down for a moment and then asked Zhang DaDa.
"Bold, have you found a matchmaker?"
"Not yet, but we are already in contact."
Zhang DaDa knew that he needed a matchmaker to get married. This was common sense, but the old matchmaker who used to connect him with Zhu Zhu was no longer around, so now he had someone contact the new matchmaker in the town.
"Then it's time for you to prepare the betrothal gift."
The embroiderer made a list of the required betrothal gifts and asked Zhang Dingdao to prepare them. When the matchmaker arrived, he could go directly to the wedding ceremony.
Zhang boldly took it and took a look. He was immediately dizzy and saw various gifts densely written on it.
A load of gift cakes, some seafood, nostrils, a pair of chickens, a piece of pork, fish, a pair of coconuts, wine, Sijing fruit, etc...
Li Mu leaned over, took a look, and then ran away. Getting married was so complicated, and he felt deep sympathy for Zhang DaDa.
Zhang DaDa first contacted some relatives, friends and neighbors to come and help. To deliver a betrothal gift for a large gift, a female elder would need to accompany him, so he found two of his neighbors, prepared all the dowry gifts that needed to be purchased, and set off for Zhu.
Officially appointed by the government.
Li Mu had already chosen the day for them. Just three days later, Wuwu month and Gengwu day were suitable for getting married, so they needed to seize the time to arrange the wedding room. Because Zhang Bingdao had few relatives and friends, it was all with the help of neighbors that they arranged the wedding room.
Everything was settled properly, which was also due to his usual kindness. If he hunted too many prey, he would share it with the neighbors, which helped him win over a lot of good people.
After going through a complicated process, the day finally came for Zhang DaDa to marry ZhuZhu.
On this day, Zhang DaDa's home was completely new. The door plaque read "Zhang Mansion Welcomes the Marriage." Two red lanterns were hung high at the door, and red cloth strips were hung on the door frame. Two red double happiness stickers were posted on the door panels on both sides. There were signs inside and outside the house.
Full of joy.
"are you done?"
Li Mu stood in the yard and shouted into the house. There were people inside and outside Zhang's house now, and everyone had smiles on their faces. Zhang boldly changed into groom's clothes in the house, but he had been doing it for a long time.
I was about to miss the auspicious time to go out.
"I'm coming!"
I saw Zhang boldly walking out of the house wearing a loose groom's suit. The red suit made his skin color darker.
"Let's go, the auspicious time is coming."
They were originally scheduled to go out to meet the bride at eight o'clock. It took exactly half an hour to walk from here to Zhu's Mansion. After worshiping at Zhu's Mansion, they had to come back to worship. This time was very tight.
The wedding team at the door was already in place. A big red sedan chair was parked outside the door. The entire wedding team numbered about twenty people. The groom's tall horse was being led there, waiting for Zhang Bingdao to take his seat.
Zhang boldly got on his horse and walked to the front of the team, followed closely by Li Mu as a relative and friend. Then he heard the matchmaker's high and loud voice.
"The auspicious time has come! Welcome the bride!"
Suddenly the gong sounded to open the front door, followed by trumpet musicians playing festive tunes, and the wedding procession slowly moved forward.
Along the way, Da Le's wide-open eyes almost disappeared. From time to time, he took out wedding candy and peanuts from his body and scattered them to the onlookers on both sides. It was a lively journey all the way to Zhu's Mansion.
Li Mu's mood at this time was also a little strange. He had never been a modern best man, but he had experienced an old-time family and friends group.
Zhu's Mansion was not far away, and the team arrived half an hour after setting off. As soon as the wedding team arrived, firecrackers were set off at the door of Zhu's Mansion.
After the sound of the firecrackers stopped, Zhang Dadan stood up and dismounted. The matchmaker led them through the gate of Zhu's mansion, gave the child a gift to the gatekeeper, and then entered the main hall, where Boss Zhu was waiting.
"father in law!"
After arriving at the main hall, Zhang boldly stepped forward and bowed to Boss Zhu, and then waited for someone to take the bride out of the back room.
When the bride came out, Zhang Daudao's nervous palms were sweating. After handing over the welcoming letter, the bride and groom began to bid farewell to the bride's parents and worship the ancestors of the family. Then the matchmaker took the bride to the sedan chair under an umbrella, and the welcoming procession started from another side.
Directions return to Zhang's house.
