The wife of a woman collecting herbs cannot be bullied

Chapter 55

On the fifth day of April, the weather was fine.

The unknown Taoist priest put on Zhou Zheng's blue-gray muslin robe early on, dressed neatly, and sat in the main hall drinking tea; Li San led people to spread mats on the west side of the yard, set up tables, incense burners, fresh fruits, and knives. Things needed for the ceremony.

Shi Chuying couldn't show up today, and the Taoist priest Wuming was afraid that she could not help but do something bad, so he had to send her to gather medicine, lest the yard is small and it would be unsightly for the guests to see.

Before and after Yuzhong, a line of chariots and horses drove up the dirt road outside Wangyun Village. The rumbling sound of the chariots and horses spread far and wide, raising a cloud of dust.

Chu Xu was riding on the horse, and when he saw the fence of Shi's house from a distance, he couldn't help grinning, laughing like a fool.Seeing his younger brother's instantly stupid appearance, Chu Wei had nothing to say.

Ever since he approached Wangyun Village, this fool's mouth has never closed!shame!He really wanted to see what kind of girl it was that could fascinate his brother who had never been enlightened like this...

A group of chariots and horses stopped outside the fenced yard of Shi's house, and a group of guards with cold faces immediately got off their horses and quickly guarded Shi's house, and no one else was allowed to approach.Fortunately, it is a little far away from the village, otherwise the children would have been frightened.

Chu Wei hurriedly got off his horse, and Chu Wei also came over, followed by Matchmaker Hao and two servants holding live geese.

"Brother!" Chu Xu said, "This is the Shi family."

"Oh, it's finally here!" Matchmaker Hao worked really hard to earn the matchmaker's money. She has traveled thousands of miles twice, and she will come again for the next six rituals. She has decided to live in Jianzhou City first. .Otherwise, after the six ceremonies are over, her old bones will also be broken.

Matchmaker Hao made some adjustments and knocked on the door, "Is the old gentleman in your house at home?"

Li San stepped forward to answer the door and replied, "The old man is at home, please come in!"

At this time, Li San opened the door and welcomed everyone into the yard. The people behind also brought in a few gift boxes, two live geese, and even a tied live sheep at the end.

The Shi family had already made preparations. At this time, the unnamed priest was in front of the gate of the courtyard with his whole body in order.

Although he has a high status, he is asking for relatives at this time, so Chu Xu stepped forward a few steps, greeted the unnamed Taoist priest, and said: "The boy is late, I hope the old man will forgive me!"

Wuming Daoist gave him a slight look, yes, Hei has lost a lot of weight, but his complexion is not bad, so he nodded and said, "It's okay, a man is a man, he should make a contribution." Chu Xu felt bitter, he didn't rush He was blackmailed by others for making great achievements, and he couldn't say that, so he had to be aggrieved.

Seeing that the Wuming Taoist priest had already set his eyes on the person behind him, he hurriedly introduced him: "This is my elder brother Chu Wei." He didn't mention the title of title. You came here to ask for marriage, not to show off. Can't let people salute?
But Taoist Wuming obviously doesn't think so, he is a member of the clan and royal family, he is just a commoner, so why not show courtesy?

At the moment, people called "grass people" came forward to pay homage, and all the people in the yard also bowed to the ground to pay homage, how could Chu Wei accept it?He hurriedly supported him, and said with a smile: "Don't be too polite, old man!" The Taoist Wuming didn't force himself to salute.

Chu Wei raised his hand again, glanced at the people on the ground, and said in a gentle voice, "Get up, everyone, today is a happy event, so there is no need to be too polite." Then everyone cheered and got up, and they couldn't help but sigh secretly. At this stop, people couldn't help but look up, and they were much more disciplined than usual.

Over there, Matchmaker Hao looked at the time, and then stepped forward and said: "The auspicious time has come." Everyone straightened their clothes and retreated to observe the ceremony.

Matchmaker Hao said: "I heard that Shi Gong's family has a good daughter, please give her wife Chu Xu, the fifth grandson of Chu's mansion in Zhengyang Lane Township, the capital. Please accept it." Although the nameless Taoist priest is not Shi, but for convenience, everyone called Shigong, the old man didn't care about these things long ago, and acquiesced.

The unnamed Taoist priest said in a polite way: "A certain son is dull and can't teach. He is favored by the General Chu's family and he sent Matchmaker Hao to come, so he dare not resign."

At this time, Matchmaker Hao said with a smile: "Dare to accept the lottery!" and handed a live goose to the Wuming Taoist priest, who took it and handed it to Li San.This is all the dowry.

This is not over yet, next, Matchmaker Hao took another wild goose and asked: "Since the old man has been ordered, I will add divination, who dare to ask the girl to be her family?"

The unknown Taoist priest replied: "The matchmaker has a life, and he chooses according to propriety. I dare not resign. The girl's name is Chuying, and she is the second-in-law granddaughter in the family." He took the second live goose handed over by Hao Matchmaker and passed it on to Li San. Then, the unknown Taoist priest took out the box of Geng Tie that he had prepared earlier from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Matchmaker Hao. Matchmaker Hao saw it face to face and put it away carefully; Pried it open with a knife, took out Geng's stickers to check, nodded and put it away, and all the gifts were asked.

After accepting the color and asking for names, the Taoist priest Wuming led brothers Chu Xu and others to the main hall to drink tea and talk, while Matchmaker Hao was arranged by Li San's family to go to rest first.
