186 Ancient marriage

"Xiao Cui, if it's completely dark, it's probably nine o'clock in the evening!" Xiao Cui Yatou said that it was still early now, and it was time for everyone to go to bed before they could do it. Ouyang Xinyu sat at the round table in the room, staring at Xiao Cui Yatou with big eyes, and waiting for the arrival of the night in boredom. Suddenly, Ouyang Xinyu held her chin with her hands and asked Xiao Cui Yatou.

"Miss Xinyu, what does it mean at nine o'clock in the evening? Are you referring to time? We didn't have this statement in ancient times, so we count time according to "update"!" Xiao Cuiya also sat on a stool like Ouyang Xinyu, holding her chin with her hands and looking at Ouyang Xinyu. When she heard Ouyang Xinyu ask her, Xiao Cuiya asked Ouyang Xinyu.

"Then, what update should we wait?" Seeing that Xiao Cuiya couldn't understand, Ouyang Xinyu asked her in another way.

"It's probably the second update! In ancient times, we were divided into fifth updates, and there were people who specialized in the evening." Xiao Cuiya understood this time, and she replied to Ouyang Xinyu. Because there was no clock in ancient times, they didn't know what the hour of the hour meant.

"This is too general. At night, how do you tell what time it is?" Xiao Cuiyato didn't mention it to her. Ouyang Xinyu really didn't know that there was no clock in ancient times. She asked Xiao Cuiyato curiously.

"This can be distinguished from the sound of the update! The first is 'falling', one slower and one fast, and three times in a row, the sound is like "dong!-dong!", "dong!-dong!"; the second update, the sound is like "dong!-dong!" and the second update, the sound is like "dong!-dong!" and the third update, the sound is like "dong!-dong!-dong!"; the third update, the sound is like "dong!-dong!-dong!"; the fourth update, the sound is like "dong -dong!-dong!-dong!-dong"; the fifth update, the sound is like "dong -dong!-dong!-dong!-dong!". In general, it is from slower to fast, and the three consecutive trips are completed. Miss Xinyu, do you understand?" Hearing that Ouyang Xinyu didn't understand how to distinguish the number of updates, Xiao Cuiya explained to her in detail. And, telling Ouyang Xinyu the different methods of distinguishing each update are different sounds and different rhythms.

"So, you had some special considerations in ancient times? I thought a few updates were just a few knocks! Then why didn't you beat them after the fifth update?" After hearing Xiao Cuiya's explanation, Ouyang Xinyu suddenly realized and said to her. She asked Xiao Cuiya, why didn't you beat them after the fifth update?

"After the fifth update, it's almost dawn! The servants are about to get up to work, so there is no need for anyone to call us!" Xiao Cuiya replied to Ouyang Xinyu.

"That is to say, you started to do updates in the evening in ancient times. According to our modern time, the first update should be around seven o'clock, the second update should be nine o'clock, the third update should be eleven o'clock, the fourth update should be 1 a.m., and the fifth update should be 3 a.m. In this way, your ancient servants got up to work at around four o'clock! At that time, it was not dawn, so hard!" Ouyang Xinyu calculated the modern time based on the update time provided by Xiao Cui Yatou. At the end, he found that it was only three or four o'clock after the fifth update. It was so hard to get up to work so early! After calculating the time, Ouyang Xinyu sighed and said to Xiao Cui Yatou.

"Miss Xinyu, you are so awesome. What did you calculate this time based on?" Hearing that Ouyang Xinyu was so amazing, Xiao Cui's girl suddenly felt energetic. She asked Ouyang Xinyu excitedly.

"Xiao Cui, how could I be so powerful? I'm calculating randomly, but I don't know if it's right!" Seeing Xiao Cui's girl so excited, Ouyang Xinyu seemed very calm. She felt that she was not powerful at all! She didn't know if she was right. If her phone was here, she just happened to find a way to charge it, and she could immediately confirm whether her guess was correct. Unfortunately, she didn't know where the phone died. She didn't know whether it had traveled to this dynasty with her?

"I think you are very accurate!" Xiao Cuiya said to Ouyang Xinyu.

"Xiao Cui, since we have determined the time to start the night, we won't talk about this. Let's talk about your ancient 'marriage'! Tell me what the process of your ancient marriage was like, okay? I want to know about it!" Suddenly, Ouyang Xinyu changed the topic to the process of ancient marriage, and she asked Xiao Cuiya.

"Okay, Miss Xinyu! In ancient times, the most important thing about marriage was the 'Ming's regular marriage'. Any marriage must be matched by a matchmaker. When the matchmaker accepts the task of talking about the matchmaker, he will search and select and choose a suitable partner. After he has a suitable partner, he will lobby both sides. If both parties have the intention to follow the introduction of the matchmaker, they will enter the 'proposal' stage." Hearing that Ouyang Xinyu wanted to know about their ancient marriage, Xiao Cuiya immediately told her.

"Xiao Cui, is the procedure for any young couple in ancient times the marriage of you is the same?" When Xiao Cui finished speaking, Ouyang Xinyu immediately interrupted and asked her.

"Miss Xinyu, what is 'program'? Xiao Cui doesn't understand what you mean!" The term program is relatively unfamiliar to Xiao Cuiya, and it seems that this word does not exist in her dictionary. Therefore, she asked Ouyang Xinyu in confusion.

"Oh, the program is the stage you just mentioned. These two words mean similarly!" Ouyang Xinyu explained to Xiao Cuiya.

"Well, I understand! The procedures for our ancient marriages were basically the same! Maybe different regions and procedures would be different. Anyway, they are all similar!" Xiao Cuiya replied to Ouyang Xinyu.

"Then what was the process of your ancient 'proposal'?" Xiao Cuiyato mentioned earlier, probably the matchmaker, so the next step is to propose marriage. What was the process of proposing marriage? Ouyang Xinyu continued to ask Xiao Cuiyato.

"Proposal is usually done in the morning, which means it is prosperous. The matchmaker leads the man's father to the woman's house to propose marriage, and the woman's parents are socializing, and the daughter is not allowed to show up. The two sides understand each other and weigh each other during the conversation, and generally express the result of the proposal based on whether to eat or not." Xiao Cuiya replied Ouyang Xinyu's words.
