Chapter 83 Three Books and Six Rites
"What, are you going out again?"

In the front yard of Jia Yun's house, Xue Pan stared at Mrs. Miao with wide eyes, and shouted loudly.

Mrs. Miao nodded and said, "Yes, I went out again without taking a sip of tea when I came back."

Xue Pan took a deep breath, feeling unspeakably depressed. It seemed that no matter what he did today, he was going through a rough patch.

After thinking about it, he asked, "Brother Yun, did you say when you will be back?"

Mrs. Miao shook her head and said: "I didn't say, Dadi will come back very late, I heard that he went outside the city, so it takes two or three hours to come and go?"

Xue Pan was speechless. After scratching his head, he sighed and said, "Okay, then I'll wait here until he comes back. Heh heh, I still don't believe that I can continue to be so unlucky today!"

After speaking, he walked to the living room and sat down, patted the table and said loudly: "Go and prepare some food and wine for the master, why don't you let me wait here?"

Mrs. Miao was hesitating, Xiren and Meiren came out from the back house when they heard the commotion, and saw that it was Xue Pan, Xiren waved to Mrs. Miao and said, "Aunt Miao, listen to Uncle Xue and prepare the food and wine on the table. "

After hearing the words, Mrs. Miao stepped back, Xue Pan nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "You two girls are very knowledgeable."

"However, I'm curious. You guys stayed in Jia's house so well, why did you come to follow Brother Yun? Could it be that he has some charm?"

Xiren and Meiren laughed and said nothing, Xue Pan felt bored and waved them away.

On the other side, Jia Yun and the others went to meet Zhao Jin.

Speaking of which, Zhao Jin's illness was not too serious, he just had an occasional cold. When Jia Yun and the others came here, his illness was almost cured.

After all, it turned out that among this group of students, the one who first got the news of Zhao Jin's illness made a big fuss, and insisted on saying that Zhao Jin was going to die, so everyone was so worried.

Since Zhao Jin was fine, everyone said goodbye and left after a short stay.

After all, in this snowy weather, and it will take some time to return to the city, it is better to start early, so as to avoid walking at night, which is not good.

"That guy Dongming is too unsteady. Such a trivial matter just made our hard work a waste of time. Isn't it better to stay at home to keep warm in this terrible weather?"

After getting into the carriage, Zhou Kun complained.

Jia Yun kicked the box next to her feet, and said with a smile, "It's not a waste of our trip, I've gained something by coming out this time."

Zhou Kun rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily: "Of course you didn't run away for nothing, and I don't know what Master thinks. You are sick and still want to prepare study books for you. We don't have such a good life!"

Speaking of this matter, he felt a little sour in his heart. He went to Qingshan Academy earlier than Jia Yun. He was also a student of Zhao Jin, but he was not as valued by Zhao Jin as Jia Yun.

"Tell me, we pay the same amount of tuition fees, why does the master treat you so well, but treat me indifferently, as if you want to ignore him?"

Jia Yun said: "Is this strange? It's not strange at all, okay? All the masters in our academy do this. Whoever gets good grades will do their best to help them. I haven't seen you complain before?"

Zhou Kun sighed and said: "There is a way to worry about inequality rather than scarcity, and anxiety rather than poverty. In my opinion, Master should pay more attention to those of us who have poor academic performance."

"After all, since our grades are poor, there must be more things we don't understand, and we need to spend more energy on teaching, otherwise how can our grades improve?"

Jia Yun laughed loudly, gave a thumbs up and said: "Haha, what you said is very reasonable, but you can't tell me about this matter, if you have the ability, go and talk to the master face to face?"

Zhou Kun's expression changed, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, I don't want to be caught by Master to recite scriptures, just thinking about it will make my head buzz."

Towards evening, after the convoy entered the city, they dispersed separately.

After Zhou Kun sent Jia Yun to the back street, it was already dark, so he turned around and left without stopping.

As soon as he entered the door, Laipi Gou stepped forward and told him that Xue Pan was here, and he had been waiting for him all afternoon, and now he was still waiting in the living room drunk.

Jia Yun was amazed, and her opinion of Xue Pan was greatly changed.

Although this guy is a rascal, he is really kind to Xue Baochai, and he can be regarded as a responsible brother.

Stepping through the hanging flower door, to the front yard, Xi Ren and Mei Ren are sitting in the corridor warming up, as if they are waiting for him to come back.

When the two heard the footsteps, they showed joyful smiles on their faces, and hurried forward to greet them.

"You're back. Uncle Xue has been drinking at home for a long time today, and he lost his temper several times." Xiren said with his lips pursed, because his face was flushed after being warmed by the fire.

Charming then said: "Fortunately, with Aunt Miao watching, Uncle Xue didn't dare to mess around. Otherwise, the family would be turned upside down by him today."

Jia Yun stepped forward to hold Xi Ren and Charming's hands, and said unexpectedly: "Can Aunt Miao hold Xue Pan down?"

The charming man smiled and said: "This is the first time I see Aunt Miao lose her temper today. You haven't seen it. The vigor is so frightening. With just one stare, one akimbo, and a few words, you can dumb down what Uncle Xue said." Speechless."

After saying a few words, Jia Yun came to the living room and saw that Xue Pan had been drinking all afternoon, but he still didn't drink enough. It seems that he also knows how to measure.

As for the purpose of Xue Pan's visit today, Jia Yun knew without even thinking about it. Apart from being related to Xue Baochai, there was probably nothing else worth his coming and waiting patiently for so long.

Seeing Jia Yun came back, Xue Pan jumped up excitedly: "Brother Yun, you have waited so hard for me!"

Jia Yun smiled and said: "Don't get excited, sit down and talk, I really have something to go out today, I'm rude, I'll punish myself with three cups later to make amends."

"There's no rush to drink, let's get down to business first!" Xue Pan said with a restrained smile after sitting down.

Jia Yun nodded and said, "Listen carefully."

Xue Pan pondered for a moment, then said, "Okay, we are all young people, I won't beat around the bush anymore, I'm not happy, I'll be frank, my mother has promised you to marry my sister."

"However, there are no less etiquettes that should be followed. The birthday horoscope, zodiac signs and so on should be combined. If you and my sister are really destined, you can make dowry whatever you want. My family is not short of money."

"That's the thing. If you don't think you have any objections, how about calling the matchmaker to my house to propose marriage as soon as possible?"

Jia Yun replied, "No problem, I'll invite a matchmaker tomorrow to propose marriage at your house, is that okay?"

The ancient marriage process paid attention to three books and six rituals.

The three books refer to the documents used in the process of the six ceremonies, including the letter of appointment, letter of ceremony and letter of welcome.

"Six Rituals" refers to the whole marriage process from proposal to marriage, which refers to Nacai, Wenming, Najib, Nazheng, Date of Appeal and Welcome.

According to the rules, the marriage process is very cumbersome, but after what happened in Lixiangyuan today, it is estimated that the most important thing in the marriage between Jia Yun and Xue Baochai is to ask for names and Najib.

The main content of Wenming and Najib is that the men and women exchange Geng posts and ask for good or bad luck, so as to make sure that the year and Geng horoscopes of the two parties are not in conflict with each other.

After learning that there is no sign of conflict between the two parties, the marriage was preliminarily settled.

As for the other links, in Xue Pan's words, they are all trivial, as long as you follow the process and don't be too rude.

Xue Pan heaved a long sigh of relief when he got Jia Yun's letter, he had to be nervous about this matter.

In ancient times, etiquette stipulated that men and women should not touch, talk or give or receive objects directly.

There is a saying that "you can't eat together, you can't sit together". It's not a joke that men and women can't kiss each other.

Taking the situation where Xue Baochai ran directly into Jia Yun's arms today, if Jia Yun really didn't admit it, Xue Baochai might commit suicide if he was stronger...
