Chapter 282 Master of Time Management

After listening for a long time, Ding Yuan would have laughed out loud if he hadn't considered that this place is a battlefield.

"Does Meng Ming have a marriage contract?"

Hearing this, Lu Li sighed secretly, pretending to be calm and said: "The family is in decline, and I don't have the good fortune to marry a wife."

In fact, the Lu family was also from the poor family of the county magistrate. If Lu Li really wanted to marry a wife, how could he not find him?

It's just that the cheap father Lu Xu has a high vision, and he insists on matching——

The daughters of the wealthy families in Taiyuan County do not marry.

But at that time, Lu Li was nothing more than a white body, with nothing but a handsome face.

Now, Ding Yuan, the head of the state, is marrying his only daughter to him. Can Lu Xu, who is looking forward to revitalizing the family, agree?

Although Lu Li's family background has been found out a long time ago, after hearing what he said, Ding Yuan still had a deep smile on his face, and said loudly: "Hahaha, why does a man have no wife?"

"Meng Ming is a rising star in our Bingzhou army. If you want to marry a wife, you must not only look for beauty, you must find someone who is not only beautiful, but also has a good family reputation."

"promise."

Lu Li responded vaguely, not knowing what to say.

Frankly speaking, it has been hinted to this extent. If it were someone else, they would have proposed marriage long ago, but Lu Li doesn't want to marry a wife at all, and it's not appropriate to act like this.

But Ding Yuan thought that his confidant would be thin-skinned, so he didn't urge it. After all, it seemed too solemn for the elder to discuss marriage with the younger generation.

With this in mind, Ding Yuan raised his eyes and glanced at the silent enemy camp in the distance, and said, "We fought all night, let's go back and have a rest."

Hearing this, Lu Li hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The final general will leave. My lord also entered the camp earlier to rest, and the coolness invaded my body. My lord is the hope of the whole army, so I will definitely rest."

Ding Yuan nodded.

Not long after, the two separated in front of the Chinese army tent. Lu Li returned to his own camp and asked the guards to soak two willow branches. After biting the thing open with his teeth, the willow fiber inside would come out, which could be used as a toothbrush.

After beheading thousands of people, there was no sleepiness at all, but the lord came out like this again. Therefore, after a little grooming, Lu Li, who couldn't sleep, simply put on his armor and lay on the soft couch, thinking wildly while waiting for the battle to resume. .

Only at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he became a general who was valued by the princes of one side, not only that, but also married the daughter of the lord——

The other party is beautiful and simple-minded. This kind of dreamy start is probably not to envy all men in the world.

"But, I'm just passing by."

Thinking of this, Lu Li let out a long sigh. He began to think about how to deal with it. First, Ding Qinyu had to marry. The three states of Bing, You, and Ji can walk sideways.

Unknowingly, Lu Li, who was thinking about the method of double perfection, suddenly thought of a possibility, and the more he thought about it, the more effective it became, he sat up with a bang——

drag.

In memory, people in this era want to get married, they must be divided into six parts, also known as the six rituals:

Nacai, ask for names, Najib, Nazheng, ask for a date, welcome in person.

Marriage is not considered complete until all are completed, and the more respectable the family, the more fancy these steps are.

The so-called Na Cai is actually a marriage proposal. The heads of the two families sit together and talk, and they are almost satisfied with the marriage of their children. The man chooses a good day and invites someone with status to be a matchmaker. The more honorable the better, go to the woman's house to formally propose marriage.

And the matchmaker can't come empty-handed, he must bring a gift, and one of them must be a wild goose.

In Bingzhou in March, it was cold and windy, and all the geese flew south, and they would not be able to return until mid-April.

However, it's okay to replace it with other things, otherwise northerners won't marry wives in winter?

If the woman’s family agrees, goose is fine. People in Qianshou don’t even have geese in their homes, so they can make do with ducks. If they don’t have any, then find a piece of wood and carve a poultry by themselves (if you are so poor, what kind of wife will you marry).

Of course, if you want to marry a noble girl like Ding Qinyu, you must use wild geese, so this step can be delayed for more than a month.

The second step is to ask the name, which is not easy. When the matchmaker in a formal dress comes to the woman’s house, he not only needs to give a gift, but also needs to ask the horoscope of the birthday, take it back to calculate, and see if there is any conflict between the man and the woman. ——

Certainly not.

If the fortune-teller dared to say yes, the cheap father Lu Xu would not kill people with a knife, and Ding Qinyu who hated to marry would have to order someone to beat him up and punish him until he could marry.

Hmm... It takes time to find a reliable fortune teller, at least two months.

Next is Najib, catch another wild goose, and ask a matchmaker to send the things over. This step has a lot of room for maneuver, because it is connected with giving a bride price.

It is necessary to select two sons with official positions, talents and looks from among the relatives, one as a "correspondent envoy" and the other as a "deputy envoy". If no one in the relatives is an official, then find a brother with a good relationship.

At this moment, Lu Xin already has a candidate in his mind:

Lu Bu, Zhang Liao!

In any case, when you marry a wife for the first time in your life, you must not wrong yourself, and you must make arrangements.

Hmm...with these two people participating as envoys, Lu Li dared to say that no one in the entire group would be more prestigious than him getting married.

The so-called envoy is to send a marriage letter, and the two escort a nanmu box, which is tied with colorful threads, and the words "common marriage letter" are written on the seal, and behind them is a mighty team of bride price bearers.

When it comes to bride price, here comes the highlight.

Ding Qinyu is the only daughter of Duke Ding. In this troubled world that is coming, she is even more noble than the emperor's daughter if she dares to say a word against the world.

Therefore, I must not wrong her, not to mention the five-color satin, the large bundle of brocade silk, the treasures of the Western Regions, the leftover pearls of the Eastern Sea, I must find a way to get one of them?

It takes at least two months to prepare.

The next step is to read the "Marriage Letter", which is read by the envoy, and Ding Gong stands opposite. After listening, the old man accepts it, and takes out the "Answer to Marriage Letter" that he has prepared for a long time, in front of relatives and friends, Read it aloud, and finally give it to the second envoy, and give it to Lu Xu, the cheap old man.

That's the end of Nazheng, there is no time to delay.

"Alas..." Lu Li sat on his knees beside the table, and kept drawing with his fingers, calculating how long it would take to get to this point.

It's almost October, which is the beginning of autumn.

At that time, the wild geese will fly south again for the winter, and then harvest another wave——

The fifth step is to catch wild geese.

It insists on monogamy and is the animal that best interprets the loyalty of love.

Lu Li personally caught a pure wild goose and sent it to a matchmaker, and the matchmaker came to ask Ding Gong when he would marry his daughter.

After November, there will be heavy snowfall in Bingzhou. I am afraid that we will have to wait until the beginning of spring next year, most likely in late April.

In the sixth year of Zhongping, the emperor passed away, and people were forbidden to marry. By the way, which month did Lingdi die?

At this time, Lu Li scratched his head with his wishful thinking. It seemed to be May, yes, it was May!
