Chapter 137 Engagement 1

When I returned to the murder port, it was already the seventh day of September.

September 9th is the Double Ninth Festival. This time, in any case, I can't catch up with Yangzhou to enjoy the chrysanthemums in the autumn. In this case, Zhang Yang had to give up and let Shixin take people and escort two boats of salt to Yangzhou. Then let him have to explain to He Zhaoyi that he did not mean to veep his promise, but had no choice. Even so, Zhang Yang didn't know how the Miss He family would be furious. That's what Shi Xin had to consider.

Zhang Yang is a casual person. Although her mother and Uncle Liu have not informed her about the engagement, Zhang Yang feels that her mother Cao may have seen that He Zhaoyi is interested in her. For the sake of Ruohan, she wants to get engaged to Ruohan as soon as possible.

Engagement, Zhang Yang has seen it in modern times. The so-called engagement should be the first official visit of the woman to the man's house before the formal wedding, usually half a year before the formal wedding. Generally, parents of both sides talk about betrothal gifts and dowry, such as houses, gold and silver jewelry, household appliances, cars, and so on. It proves that the two parties have an agreement. The ceremony is much simpler than marriage. Usually, parents and relatives of both sides are present, set up a few tables, have a meal, and exchange engagement rings.

In today's high-paced society, engagement and marriage are already floating clouds. If you like to be together, you will be together. If you like to be with others, you will run to be with others. Men and women under the lights are no longer hindered by marriage.

But in ancient times, engagement was a very important thing. In addition to the open Tang Dynasty, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, we still paid attention to the three virtues and three chastity and nine martyrs. Once they were engaged, they would be born to the Zhang family, and death was also the ghost of the Zhang family.

So, Zhang Yang is also very solemn.

After arriving at the murder port, he settled down the newly joined people and arranged to send those women to the base. Zhang Yang took several people and rode back to his home in the salt farm.

Uncle Liu also went home with Zhang Yang, and he still had to discuss something with Zhang Yang's mother.

The village is still the same as before, quietly behind the green bamboo.

There is a saying that it is difficult to leave her hometown. Let her mother leave here and live in the base. I don't know if she will get used to it? Zhang Yang thought to himself.

In order to hide people's eyes and ears, Zhang Yang did not ride a horse directly into the village. He was just a little tooth pil. He didn't have any extra money to buy a horse to ride, and this was not one.

Leep the horse outside the village and let the rest of the people guard it. Zhang Yang and Uncle Liu walked into the village.

Uncle Liu is walking vigorously. If you only look at his back, you can't see that he is an old man who is over half a hundred years old. He is almost the same as a strong young man. This is the so-called happy event! It's a pity that it would be great if Ruohan's father were also alive!

Passing by Liu Ruohan's house first, Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment and did not go in. The last experience was still fresh in his memory. He Zhaoyi, who couldn't wait for himself, what kind of expression should he have?

Soon, I came to the door.

"Mom!" Zhang Yang shouted and walked in.

"Alas..." With the voice, I came out. Today, she also changed into a new dress. The upper part of the plaid cloth, the striped bottom, and a headscarf were tied. No matter how she looked at it, she looked like a complete matchmaker. It seemed that I was old and couldn't even dress up. Zhang Yang couldn't help laughing.

"Mom, tomorrow is the day of the begoal. I'm going to pick you up at the base, where there are many people and it's lively." Zhang Yang said.

" OK, come in first." Cao greeted Uncle Liu.

Sitting in the room first, Cao began to discuss with Uncle Liu first.

In fact, when Uncle Liu came over last time, he had already discussed it. This time it's just to confirm it again, for example, the date of birth.

"I found a fortune teller and gave it to Ruohan and Shi Cheng. They got married." Cao said.

The so-called marriage is naturally a very suitable marriage. In this era, people believe what fortune tellers say most. For example, whoever wants to rebel, he must first find someone to calculate. This calculation, saying that he is the true son of fate, then he will naturally run to raise the righteous flag. If he is a fortune, his fortune will be long. Forget it, let's be honest with other people's bullying.

Cao said, taking out the Geng sticker from under the incense burner, "I've been pressing it for a few days, and it's been safe. Nothing happened." Cao is very happy.

This Geng post should be pressed under the incense burner for three days in a row, which means to let the ancestors of the family review it. If nothing unexpected has happened at home and is safe in these three days, it means that the ancestors recognized the marriage.

Now, this marriage is recognized by the ancestors. If Zhang Yang is sorry for Ruohan in the future, he will be sorry for his ancestors. I'm afraid few people can stand this big hat.

Zhang Yang sat aside and listened to the discussion between his mother and Uncle Liu, but he was a little impatient.

Have you asked me about my engagement? Alas, these days, it is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. As for the parties, they have no right.

Zhang Yang stayed aside doing nothing, listened to them, and finally talked about the bride price.

"I have been preparing the bride price these days, and now I have prepared tea, pastries, red dates, peanuts, roosters, crucian carp and pork. There are also a pair of bracelets. Cao said that these bridesage gifts had almost spent all her savings.

Zhang Yang's public and private interests are clear. Most of the money he earned was reinvested. Therefore, he only gave his income from the salt farm to his mother every time.

Tea does not change its original, and plants must give birth to children. When the ancients got married, they must take tea as a gift, which means that it is not transplanted. The pastry is to take its homophonic height and wish the woman's life "step by step". Red dates and peanuts mean "early peanuts". Peanuts wish girls both boys and girls after marriage. Chicken, fish and meat are used for the gods of the female ancestors, representing the "three animals" in the sacrifice. The bracelet is a little gift from her mother to Ruohan. She uses the bracelet to hold Ruohan's hand and Ruohan's heart, so that she can accompany her for the rest of her life.

Zhang Yang looked at the things his mother had prepared. He had a big head. Just say the number directly, and give them all the money. Modern people are fastidious. The engagement is given 6,000 yuan, the wedding is given a 60,000 yuan, and the rest is free. How simple it is. Now for him, silver is no longer a big problem. Besides, the accounts are given to Ruohan. To put it bluntly, this family has been handed over to her, and all the money is hers.

As an outsider of the party, Zhang Yang listened to the two old people talking for a long time and finally made everything clear.

"Let's go, let's go back to the base." Zhang Yang said.

It's already afternoon. After returning to the murder port and returning to the base by boat, it should be dark.
