Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 21 Discussing the Engagement Matters!Choose a date to get married!
In ancient times, marriage was a major event, and there was a specific procedure.

Not to mention the marriage of Yan Wangfu, every move is related to the face of the royal family.

Marriage of a man and a woman is a matter of marriage, according to the order of the parents, and through matchmaking, they think that they are of the same family, and exchange "geng stickers" (age, birth date) and press them on the bottom of the clean teacup in front of the kitchen god statue to test the spirit.

Because the public recruitment of a son-in-law is rather special, the step of matchmaking and exchanging "geng stickers" is omitted.

Then the man's parents go to the woman's house to propose and give the dowry.

Because both of Li Xiao's parents died, this step was omitted.

After Najib, the parents of both parties made an alliance, and after the engagement, the return gifts were also omitted.

These processes, in general, are engagements, which are the affairs of both parents.

After getting engaged, they will get married on a good day and auspicious day.

The man's family brings a welcoming team, carrying a sedan chair, to the woman's house to win the bride.

Then go to the man's house, visit the hall, set up a banquet, and finally enter the bridal chamber, and the marriage is considered over.

But
Li Xiao's family has neither high hall nor family members, only a broken thatched cottage
My daughter can't get married like this, and she can't live in a shabby cottage, right?
Because Li Xiao's family is in a special situation, there is no father or mother, and it is a farmer with no money.
Therefore, Princess Yan felt that this marriage should be carefully considered.

"Why don't you let Li Xiao marry into our family?"

Xu Miaoyun from Yan Wangfu suggested.

She thought in her heart that she would keep her daughter by her side forever, fearing that she would suffer.

"How can I do that? This king is looking for a son-in-law, not a son-in-law."

Zhu Di shook his head and said, "This is somewhat insulting. I think that Li Xiao cares about his daughter. If it makes him feel bad and treats our daughter badly, wouldn't it be putting the cart before the horse?"

Xu Miaoyun thought about it for a while, and men want face.

Although Li Xiao is a farmer with a low status, but his behavior is generous and decent, and he has some talents, so I'm afraid he doesn't want to be a son-in-law.

Zhu Di frowned slightly, took a sip from his teacup, and said:
"How about this, this king rewards him with gold, silver and money, and then rewards him with a house. Our palace will handle the marriage, and we can't let our daughter feel wronged."

"Inappropriate." Xu Miaoyun said.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Di asked.

"These days, I'm really happy to see Ningyun, he has belonged to Li Xiaoxin."

Xu Miaoyun analyzed: "Ningyun thinks that Li Xiao likes her talent. This is well known. If you give him money, will Li Xiao accept it or not?"

"If she took the money, would my daughter think that Li Xiao came here for the money in the end? Does she feel disgusted?"

"If you don't accept the money, it must be that Li Xiao thinks our family is a charity and doesn't want to take it. Didn't he have a bad relationship with our family again?"

When Zhu Di heard it, he agreed greatly: "What the princess said is very true, it's because the king lacked consideration."

He looked at Xu Miaoyun with a smile: "I'm afraid the princess already has a clever plan."

Xu Miaoyun smiled and said: "It's better than this, the marriage will be handled by the palace. Engagement first, no matter how much dowry Li Xiao gives, even if it is a penny of copper, we just give more dowry."

The extra is naturally the money and housing that Zhu Di just mentioned.

It's just a different way to give it to the past, not only not to make Li Xiao lose face, but also to let his daughter not be wronged and suffer along with her.

"A good way. The princess is really the king's virtuous wife."

Zhu Di said happily.

Zhu Di opened the book and began to calculate his own property.

Let's see how much I can get out, I can't let my daughter feel wronged.

Of Zhu Di's five daughters, only Zhu Ningyun, the owner of Yong'an County, was born to Xu Miaoyun.

Therefore, the eldest daughter is also the one who loves the most.

In addition, due to negligence, the house caught fire before, and the daughter suffered catastrophe. Zhu Di intends to make up for it.

After making some calculations, Zhu Di looked at Xu Miaoyun and said, "My dear concubine, you see that the eldest daughter is our heart and soul, and Liuyun Villa has two thousand acres of fertile land, so we can give it to my daughter as a dowry."

The prince has his own farmland, which is a reward from the sage Zhu Yuanzhang. Zhu Di, as the fourth son, guards the border town, so naturally there will be no shortage of farmland.

Hearing this, Xu Miaoyun nodded with a smile: "Of course, I can give it to Ningyun."

Zhu Di continued: "How about adding a thousand gold to a house with four entrances?"

"En." Xu Miaoyun nodded, and said again: "However, no matter how much money you give, you will always sit back and eat."

"Aifei is still thoughtful."

Zhu Di pondered for a while, and then said: "The situation is special, how about I ask my father to give my son-in-law Li Xiao a title, and then find a way to find him an errand?"

Xu Miaoyun smiled gradually: "That would be the best."

"Just do it!"

Zhu Di slapped the table.

"Tomorrow, the king will ask the master to see if the day is good."

"I settled the marriage earlier, and this king's heart. Only then did I let go."

The next day.

Because Yao Guangxiao returned to the temple.

Zhu Di went out in person to Qingshou Temple.

Yao Guangxiao also gave a good day and auspicious day.

The 24th of the first month.

That is half a month later, it will be the day of engagement.

Generally speaking, it is most suitable to get married after three months or six months, but Yao Guangxiao said that it has to be calculated on the specific date.

After returning to Prince Yan's mansion, Zhu Di told Zhu Gaoxu about the matter and asked him to convey it.

Because these things are negotiated by both parents.

It's really inappropriate for Zhu Di, an old father-in-law, to talk about this matter with his son-in-law who hasn't been married yet.

After Zhu Gaoxu received the order, he went to find Li Xiao non-stop.

These days, Zhu Gaoxu has received a lot of rewards, and he is very happy.

This Li Xiao is indeed his lucky star, bringing good luck.

Therefore, the relationship with Li Xiao is getting better day by day, and it seems that the relationship with his elder brother Zhu Gaochi is much closer.

Zhu Gaoxu quickly found Li Xiao and explained the whole story.

"Engaged on the 24th of the first lunar month?"

Li Xiao calculated, after half a month.

"Yes, my father asked me to tell you."

Zhu Gaoxu said with a smile.

Li Xiao nodded.

From memory, the ancient betrothed Li Xiao knew a little bit.

The dowry must be carried to the woman's home in a wooden box. This is for others to see. There will be many distinguished guests visiting on the day. It is too shabby and embarrassing.

Li Xiao is still a person who cares about face, he must not do it empty-handed.

China is a society of human feelings, especially in ancient times.

I am empty-handed, I am afraid that my father-in-law Zhu Di's face is not bright, right?

Then his future wife, Zhu Ningyun, will also lose face, right?That won't work!

It seems that he will earn his first pot of gold in half a month, and the time is a little tight.

Seeing that Li Xiao was uncertain, Zhu Gaoxu knew what the other party was thinking.

The other party has no money, no house, no land
But Zhu Gaoxu didn't care about these things.

All he cares about is that this Li Xiao treats his sister well, that's enough!
Ever since, Zhu Gaoxu whispered: "Brother-in-law in the future, I will tell you the truth, my father is planning to return a villa and a mansion."

These are all Zhu Gaoxu inquired from Princess Yan in private.

It was disclosed backhandedly.
Hearing this, Li Xiao was surprised, does Zhu Di value himself so much?
To be honest, Li Xiao was a little moved, and felt a little warm in his heart.

People are mutual.

He treats you well, why should he return it!

The other party returned such a heavy gift, so it was impossible for him to bring a copper coin to make the betrothal gift, right?
Think of this.

Li Xiao made up his mind, looked at Zhu Gaoxu, and said with a smile:
"Gao Xu, I want to do business with you, are you interested?"
