Just in the Middle, You Told Me This is Journey to the West

Nazheng is also called too big gift, in simple terms, the man chooses an auspicious date and gifts, and gets engaged to the bride.

To ask for a date is to choose an auspicious day to get married, inform the woman of the calculated wedding date, and obtain the woman's consent.

The last personal welcome is on the wedding day, when the man takes the letter of greeting to marry the bride, expressing his respect for the woman.

Therefore, getting married in ancient times was not easier than later generations. Not only the etiquette was more solemn, but also a lot of preparations were required.

Fortunately, Chen Qi didn't need to prepare these things himself. Naturally, Chen's father, mother, and seniors of Chen's parents took care of the preparations.

Chen Qi only needs to wait for the last of the three books and six rituals with peace of mind, prepare to be the groom's official, marry the bride, and then go to the wedding hall and enter the bridal chamber.

Therefore, even though the Chen and Yang families have already begun busy preparations for Chen Qi's marriage.

Chen Qi is still very leisurely, and he still reads when it is time to study, and it has not changed much from the past.

......

Just like that, another few days passed.

News from Hongnong Yang's family said that the marriage between Chen Qi and Yang Qingchan is absolutely fine.

The Chen family can prepare three letters and six rituals, and let the matchmaker propose marriage.

That is, the first ritual among the three scriptures and six rituals, Nacai.

Of course, considering that Qingzhou is far away from Hongnong, it is more than [-] miles away.

So Chen's father and Chen's mother went with a letter of appointment and a matchmaker.

Chen Qi's grandfather, Yang Jingming, also went there together.

After all, Yang Jingming is not only the head of Yang's ninth house, but also Chen Qi's grandfather.

With him by his side, Chen's father and Chen's mother will not be too nervous, and when discussing the marriage process, there is also someone who can make the decision.

The process in between is like this, Chen Qi doesn't know.

All he knew was that his grandfather Yang Jingming left with Chen's father, Chen's mother and others in a flying boat for seven or eight days, and then he came back happily and told Chen Qi that his marriage to Miss Yang Liu had been decided.

The wedding date is: the [-]th year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty, the sixth day of October.

On an auspicious day for the zodiac, it is advisable to marry and adopt, and pray for blessings and fasting!

Calculate the time in this way, that is, two months later.

Time is a little tense, much faster than falling in love in later generations.

Chen Qi, who was not nervous at first, became a little nervous after hearing the news.

no way.

Don't look at him as a man in two lifetimes, but it's really the first time for a big girl to get on a bridal sedan chair in such a matter as marriage.

So it is understandable to have a little bit of premarital anxiety.

Really no experience at all!

On this day, Chen Qi rarely put down the books in his hands, sat on the bamboo chair, quietly looked at the blue sky and lost his mind.

Past life, present life, future.

Countless thoughts came out of his mind.

There are memories, sighs, and more thoughts and worries about the future.

Chen Qi didn't purify these complicated thoughts with awe-inspiring righteousness, but just quietly reclined on the bamboo chair, quietly looking at the blue sky and white clouds above his head, thinking about the past, present, and future.

That night, Chen Qi suffered from insomnia, and sat quietly in the yard all night!

Looking at the night sky above his head, full of stars, a faint longing rose in his heart.

.......

When the sun rose again in the east the next day.

All kinds of distracting thoughts in Chen Qi's heart also disappeared with the rising red sun in the sky...  

When he opened his eyes again, he felt that his connection with this world was a little closer, and he couldn't help but feel a faint sense of belonging to this world, as if he had really begun to integrate into this world.

"pretty good!"

Chen Qi got up, said these three words as if inexplicably, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes became brighter.

Start a family!

start a family!

Family!

In two months, he, Chen Qi, is also going to start a family.

And in this world, I have a home of my own.

Although it was the words of the matchmaker at the order of the parents, they didn't know much about the future bride.

But this did not hinder Chen Qi's expectation.

Maybe with a wife and a home, he won't be as lonely as he is now.

It will not be as out of tune with the world in front of me as it is now.

He was really looking forward to that day.

However, although Chen Qi was looking forward to the future, he did not change his daily life because of this incident. He quickly picked up the books on the table and continued to read.

Because he knows very well that no matter what the future holds, one thing will not change.

That is, in this dangerous world, only one's own strength is the greatest guarantee.

Without strength, even if you are given a home, you will not be able to keep it.

All happiness needs to be built on one's own strength.

Therefore, when his marriage was settled, Chen Qifan did not relax himself, but worked harder and harder.

Because he felt that the burden on himself was heavier and the pressure was greater, so he had to work hard.

Outsiders understand Chen Qi's approach very well, they only feel that Chen Qi is very weird and withdrawn.

Addicted to books, nerds, reading stupid and so on.

Although no one dares to talk about it publicly, there are definitely a lot of people who gossip about 0.0 in private.

Even Chen's father, Chen's mother, and Chen Qi's younger brothers and sisters find it difficult to understand his behavior.

Only Chen Qi's grandfather, Yang Jingming, and Bai Yu'er from Furongyuan, not only did not underestimate Chen Qi's actions, but even more.

Because they know very well that there are no flukes on the road to success.

The real strong are those who can endure loneliness.

Chen Qi became a great scholar of Confucianism and Taoism at a young age, and he did not slacken the slightest slack afterwards, but instead studied harder and harder.

With such a mind, absolutely ordinary people can do it.

Most importantly, from Chen Qi's words and deeds, it can be known that he is comprehending the principles of the sages through reading, and accumulating merits for his own Confucianism and Taoism.

Instead of being like a nerd, reading for the sake of reading.

Such a talented, persevering, and neither arrogant nor impetuous young Tianjiao.

The future is bound to be limitless.

It's too late for them to make friends, so how could they look down on them.

Not to mention that he would not think Chen Qi is a nerd like ordinary people.

If such a person is a nerd, then they only hope that their whole family and clan will become nerds. .

Chapter 147

As the wedding day approached, whether it was the Chen family, the Yang family, or the Hongnong Yang family, they all began to get busy, and the entire Qingzhou city began to be decorated with lights.

Especially in Chenchen Mansion, red lanterns are hung high.

All kinds of happy characters, red silk, etc. are also ready, and they can be pasted all over the house at any time.

After all, it was Hongnong Yang's legitimate daughter getting married, so even if she kept a low profile, the scene could not be small.

In addition, Hongnong County is more than [-] miles away from Qingzhou County, some things must be discussed in advance.

Especially the matter of welcoming relatives is the most important thing.

According to Chen Qi's idea, the process of welcoming the bride can be simplified a bit, and the Yang family in Qingzhou will be temporarily used as the bride's natal family.

In this way, the wedding and marriage parties are located in Qingzhou City, and the wedding arrangement will be easier, and the auspicious day will not be missed.

But this suggestion was opposed by the woman's family, because they felt that it was not solemn enough, too child's play, and could not show the heritage and strength of the Hongnong Yang family.

Therefore, the location of the wedding ceremony was set in Hongnong County, where the main line of the Yang family was located.

For this reason, ten large flying boats were specially prepared as means of transportation for the personal welcome.

These ten flying boats are not the civilian merchant ships that Chen Qi took before, but real top flying boats.

Produced by the public loser, an absolute boutique.

In terms of flight speed and attack defense, it is not a little bit better than the latest model of Xuanjia Flying Boat of the Tang Dynasty.

The distance of [-] miles can be reached in half a day.

The speed is more than twice as fast as the Xuanjia of the Tang Dynasty, more than 18 times faster.

This is also easy to understand. After all, one is carefully crafted by the public loser, and the other is the assembly line product of the Tang court. If the two are really the same, that would be a strange thing.

In this way, do you want to lose the name of Qiangu Tiangong family, the public loser?

Therefore, the woman's family directly said that the distance is not a problem at all, and there is no need to make such trouble because of such a small matter.

Then, Chen Qi and Chen's father and mother stopped talking, and all the etiquette procedures of the wedding were carried out according to the woman's wishes.

This is also impossible, because the level gap between the Chen family and the Hongnong Yang family is too great.

This is like your rural family marrying the daughter of the richest man in the city.
