Ordinary people in the world of Uncle Nine

Chapter 56

...

Not long after, rumors spread in the town that Mr. Shi became a fool. Every day, he would sit at the gate of Shi's mansion, eat and watch passers-by giggling. Sometimes he would uncontrollably rush up and beat passers-by. People on the road no longer take the road of Shifu.

After confirming Mr. Shi's situation, Boss Zhu gave up completely, and agreed to the marriage between Zhang Bold and Zhuzhu. Let him work in the tea house.

Boss Zhu has only one daughter under his knees. As the saying goes, a son-in-law is half the size, and a good daughter is not as good as a good son-in-law.

He wants to start training Zhang Bold and he can take over the teahouse when he gets old in the future. The family business he has worked so hard to save can't just disappear like this.

"Li Mu, I'm so excited!"

Zhang Family, Zhang Bold walked back and forth in the hall, and said to Li Mu excitedly.

"Okay, isn't it just marrying a wife? As for?"

Li Mu looked at Zhang Bold and he had a headache. He had never been married so he didn't know Zhang Bold's mood at this time.

"Why not? I waited for so many years and finally my father-in-law agreed to my marriage with Zhuzhu. What should I do next?"

Zhang boldly danced and fidgeted in the house. His parents passed away early, and they passed away shortly after the marriage was arranged for him. No one told him what to do next, otherwise he would not have just run away with the money that day. I went to the teahouse to find Boss Zhu.

"You ask me? Don't make trouble! I've never been married before!"

Li Mu was dumbfounded by Zhang Bold's question. He had no chance to understand these things in his past and present lives, so naturally he couldn't answer this kind of question.

But this doesn't bother him, they don't understand, there will always be someone who understands.

Li Mu covered up all the light in the room, lit the oil lamp again, and called Xiu Niang out.

"What is the priest looking for me for?"

Xiu Niang stayed at Zhang Bold's house to recuperate her soul and body with Xiao Xu since she regained her spirit that day. She was married before her death, so it is most appropriate to ask her this question.

"Zhang Bold's father-in-law 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 Bold was going to get married, and then told Xiuniang about the problems he was encountering now.

"My parents passed away shortly after they betrothed me, and now I don't know what to do next, Xiu Niang, please teach me."

Zhang Bold's eyes lit up when Li Mu called out Xiu Niang, obviously he also knew Li Mu's intention, so he asked Xiu Niang for advice after Li Mu explained the situation.

"Traditional weddings and marriages are based on the etiquette of three books and six ceremonies. The three books refer to the letter of engagement, the letter of ceremony, and the letter of welcome. The six ceremonies refer to Nacai, Asking Names, Najib, Najib, Nazheng, Date of Appeal and Welcome."

"You and Zhuzhu refer to the marriage by the belly. It should have passed the Nacai, asked the name, Naji three rituals, and the next thing is to prepare for the Najib period and the personal welcome."

Xiu Niang told the two of the rules of the Three Books and Six Rituals. Li Mu had gone to a wedding with his parents before, but he didn’t know much about it, and there were few such traditional weddings in the original world. Zhang Boldly listened carefully. It is related to his lifelong event, so don't be careless.

"Nazheng, that is, a big gift, continue to prepare the letter of appointment and letter of ceremony, as well as the dowry, the gift money and the dowry, and bring these to the woman's house to make an appointment and get married at a certain date."

"That's what you're going to do now. Choose a good day and auspicious day. If the woman's family has no objections, you can prepare the letter and hand it over to the woman when she welcomes the bride."

Xiu Niang slowed down a bit and then asked Zhang Boldly.

"Bold, have you found your matchmaker?"

"Not yet, but we are already in touch."

It's common sense that Zhang Bold, a matchmaker, is required to get married. It's just that the old matchmaker who used to match him with Zhuzhu is no longer there, so now he has someone in town to contact the new matchmaker.

"Then you should prepare the dowry."

Xiu Niang made a list of the required dowry gifts and asked Zhang Bold to prepare them. When the matchmaker arrives, he can go directly to the dowry ceremony.

Zhang Boldly took it over and took a look. He felt dizzy immediately, and saw all kinds of gifts densely written on it.

A load of gift cakes, some seafood, hair vegetables, a pair of chickens, a piece of pork, fish, a pair of coconuts, wine, Sijing fruit, etc...

Li Mu went over to take a glance and then slipped away. Marriage is so complicated, and he felt deep sympathy for Zhang Bold.

Zhang Daudao first contacted some relatives, friends and neighbors to come to help, and the letter of engagement needs to be accompanied by female elders, so he found two from the neighbors, prepared all the betrothal gifts that needed to be purchased, and set off to Zhuhai. Officially hired by the government.

Li Mu had already chosen the date for them, and three days later, it was time to get married on Gengwu, Wuwu month, so they needed to hurry up and arrange the wedding room, because Zhang Bold had few relatives and friends, and it was the help of the neighbors who made the arrangement. Everything was settled properly, which also benefited from his usual kindness, and he usually distributed more prey to the neighbors in the neighborhood to attract a group of good people for him.

After going through a complicated process, finally came the day when Zhang Boldly married Zhuzhu.

On this day, Zhang Bold’s home was completely cleaned up. The door plaque reads Zhang’s family welcomes the bride. full of joy.

"are you done?"

Li Mu stood in the yard and yelled towards the house. Now there are people inside and outside Zhang's house, and everyone's faces are full of smiles. Zhang Boldly changed the groom's clothes in the house, but it has been a long time. It seems that the auspicious time to go out is about to be missed.

"I'm coming!"

I saw Zhang Bold coming out of the house in a big groom's suit in a hurry. The red dress made his complexion darker.

"Let's go, the auspicious time is coming."

They were originally scheduled to go out to greet their relatives at [-] o'clock, and it took half an hour to walk to Zhu Mansion from here. After worshiping at Zhu Mansion, they had to come back to worship. This time was very tight.

The welcoming team at the door was already in place, a big red sedan chair was parked outside the door, the whole welcoming team consisted of more than 20 people, and the groom's official's tall horse was led there waiting for Zhang Boldly to take his seat.

Zhang boldly got on his horse and walked to the front of the team, followed by Li Mu as a relative and friend, and then he heard the high-pitched and loud voice of the matchmaker.

"Auspicious time! Welcome the bride!"

Immediately, the gong sounded to open the front door, followed by trumpet players playing festive tunes, and the wedding procession moved forward slowly.

Along the way, Zhang Boldly and Le's eyes were about to disappear, and from time to time he took out wedding candy peanuts from his body and sprinkled them on the surrounding crowds, and the bustling and lively way to Zhu's mansion.

Li Mu's mood at this time is also a little weird. He has never been a best man in modern times, but he has experienced an old group of relatives and friends.

Zhu's Mansion was not far away, and the team arrived within half an hour after setting off. As soon as the welcoming team arrived, a firecracker was set off at the gate of Zhu's Mansion.

After the sound of firecrackers stopped, Zhang Bold got off his horse, and the matchmaker led them in through the gate of Zhu's mansion, and gave the kid who was guarding the gate a reward, and then entered the main hall, where Boss Zhu was waiting.

"father in law!"

After arriving at the main hall, Zhang boldly stepped forward to bow to Boss Zhu, and then waited for someone to bring the bride out of the back room.

When the bride came out, Zhang Bold’s palms were sweating nervously. After handing over the letter of welcome, the bride and groom began to bid farewell to the bride’s parents and pay homage to the family’s ancestors. The direction returns to Zhangjia.
