After the marriage was agreed upon, Gu Xu followed the rules of the Da Qi Dynasty and prepared Nacai gifts and sent them to the Shi family's temporarily rented mansion in the capital.
The word "goose" is commonly used when accepting gifts.
The ancients said: "Those who use wild geese as zhi should choose those who follow the flow of yin and yang."
After this, it is "asking for names".
After accepting the marriage proposal, the girl's parents will bring their daughter's birthday and horoscope back to the boy's home, so that the man and woman can be of the same family and can also predict good or bad luck.
Since Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan had known each other for a long time, they already knew each other's birthdays well. The so-called "asking for names" was basically just a formality.
Then there are "Naji" and "Na Zheng".
After receiving the Geng Tie, it will be placed in front of the statue of God to ask for good or bad luck. If the horoscopes of both parties do not conflict with each other, then the marriage has been initially agreed upon.
Then the man needs to send the betrothal letter and gift letter to the woman's family, along with the bride price and betrothal gift.
According to the rules of the Daqi Dynasty: "Accepting the Zheng as an auspicious ceremony, add Xuanhuan, bundle silk, write a letter, no wild geese are used."
As for "asking for a date", as the name suggests, it means agreeing on a wedding date, that is, the man's family chooses an auspicious day for the marriage and seeks the consent of the woman's family.
Gu Xu proposed to set the wedding date at the "Luoshui Conference", and Shi Lei readily agreed.
According to Shi Lei, the happy events in life include "the night of flowers and candles in the bridal chamber" and "the time of being named on the gold medal list". If he can win a good ranking in the "Luoshui Conference", such a happy event can be said to be even worse than being named on the gold list.
As an official who doesn't have much pursuit of power, Shi Lei's biggest wish at this time is to watch his daughter display her skills as expected on a stage that attracts everyone's attention, and then watch her sit on a sedan chair with someone who loves and protects her. Spend the rest of your life together.
As a sixth-rank official, Viscount of Daqi, and the most popular genius in Luojing City, Gu Xu's engagement undoubtedly attracted the attention of many people.
After hearing that he was engaged to Miss Shi's family, many dignitaries, including the Chen family of Xiangyang, Luo Jingxungui, etc., felt very regretful. They only felt that they had lost an excellent opportunity to win over this proud man. However, thinking that Gu Xu and Shi Xiaohan were once fellow villagers of Yishui, worked under the same government office, and shared weal and woe in front of the altar of Kongxuan Sanren, they felt that it was natural for this young man and woman to come together.
According to the customs of the Daqi Dynasty, after the wedding date is set, Shi Xiaohan will also enter "pre-marital training."
Shi Lei specially sent someone to bring his maid Chenxi to the capital, asking her to help Shi Xiaohan pack her dowry and teach her some things she should pay attention to after marriage.
Shi Xiaohan's dowry included gold and silver jewelry, clothing, calligraphy and paintings, cloth, antiques and other items, as well as clothes, bedding, furniture, medicinal materials and other daily necessities. Many of them were left behind by her mother who died young and have been passed down through generations in the clan. Passed down from generation to generation.
During this process, Shi Xiaohan felt nervous and expectant, full of longing for the future life.
At the same time, she would follow Chen Xi and stare curiously at her dowry box.
"What is this?" She took out a fist-sized, oval-shaped porcelain from the box and asked Chen Xi.
"This is called 'pressing the bottom of the box'," Chen Xi smiled and replied, "I was just looking for a chance to talk to you about it."
Shi Xiaohan frowned, opened the lid of the porcelain, and took out a small porcelain sculpture, which was a pair of naked men and women hugging each other tightly.
She felt a little confused, but a blush appeared on her cheeks inadvertently.
"What are they doing?" she asked again.
