The Siheyuan started with the young He Yuzhu

Chapter 64

A week later, He Yuzhu remembered what he promised Xu Huizhen, and asked a fortune teller to help him see the auspicious day!
It is worth mentioning that fortune tellers are not allowed to tell fortunes now, and they have all changed their careers to work in factories!

However, people's customs and habits cannot be changed, and they still come to find such people in private, such as choosing an auspicious day for marriage and so on!

The fortune teller gave He Yuzhu three auspicious dates for He Yuzhu to choose. The first one is May [-]nd, the second is December [-]th, and the third one is May [-]nd next year!
He Yuzhu didn't take it seriously at first, but later showed Xu Huizhen the three auspicious days, and Xu Huizhen's first choice was the third auspicious day!The reason is naturally to keep filial piety for the godfather for a year!
This is the ethos at this time, and in fact, it is generally the same in later generations, at least it will take a year to complete one's lifelong event!

If you were in the old society, if you kept your filial piety for three years, the neighbors would probably poke your spine!Gossip!If you can't do it by then, I'm afraid getting married and finding a partner will be a difficult problem!
He Yuzhu also wanted to understand at this time, he must have told the fortune teller about Xu Huizhen's situation, and the fortune teller deliberately added the third one!
But this is not to blame the fortune teller, the atmosphere is like this at this time, of course, in the new society and new atmosphere, there are still many people who don't care about these things, the key depends on the individual!

Now it is Xu Huizhen's own choice, and He Yuzhu can only helplessly support it!
Since the choice was made a year later, He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen discussed it, and they still unanimously decided to treat them as acquaintances and friends on the surface, and secretly communicate with each other if there is anything!

At this time, with the help of He Yuzhu, the tavern continued to open smoothly!

Xu Huizhen said that there is nothing to do in the morning. From the afternoon to ten o'clock in the evening, it is time to run the tavern. It sounds hard to do things alone!

He Yuzhu simply transferred a biochemical person, He Jiu, to apply for the job. Xu Hui was really in need of help, and the biochemical person He Jiu was successfully selected as the waiter of the tavern!
This afternoon, He Yuzhu came to the tavern for a walk, there were quite a few people drinking, Xu Huizhen and He Jiu were both very busy!

He Yuzhu and Xu Huizhen also made eye contact, but they didn't talk together!
He Yuzhu just sat for a while, and several men who were drinking had already started making some big jokes with Xu Huizhen!

Xu Hui really said a few words with ease, and blocked the teasing of these people back!

Although He Yuzhu was relieved, he still felt uncomfortable. People from all walks of life came to this tavern. Xu Huizhen is really not suitable for such a woman!
Well, the person Xu Huizhen greeted and sent to is indeed suitable for running a tavern, otherwise Old Man He wouldn't have left the tavern to Xu Huizhen in the end!

It was nothing more than He Yuzhu feeling that these drinking men coveted Xu Huizhen, which made He Yuzhu feel bad!

He Yuzhu once tried to let Xu Huizhen go to Dongxing Building as the manager and help him manage Dongxing Building!
Xu Huizhen directly declined, and she also made it clear that this tavern was left behind by her godfather, who had always told her to run it well. Since she agreed, no matter how difficult Tama is, she must continue to run it!
He Yuzhu did the same thing, he could only let Xu Huizhen continue to run the tavern. Fortunately, He Jiu was here, which was enough to protect Xu Huizhen's safety, so there was no need to worry too much!
He Yuzhu drank a couple of glasses of wine, took advantage of people not paying attention, met Xu Huizhen's eyes, and left quietly!
He originally wanted to go to Dongxing Building, but he didn't expect to pass by Dashilan, and he happened to meet Qian, the shopkeeper of Chen's silk and satin shop.

"Treasurer Qian, you are in a hurry, where are you going?!"

He Yuzhu greeted.

"Yo! Boss He, I didn't see you just now! I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Shopkeeper Qian cupped his hands and said with a smile.

"You're welcome, with my relationship with the Chen family, there's no need for Shopkeeper Qian to be like this!"

He Yuzhu waved his hand and said.

"That's right! Boss He, guess what I'm going to do!?"

Shopkeeper Qian asked with a mysterious face.

I know what are you doing? !Wait, could it be...

He Yuzhu thought of something, and tentatively said, "Could it be that you are looking for me?!"

Shopkeeper Qian smiled and nodded: "Boss He, you guessed it right, I was indeed going to Dongxing Building to find you, but I didn't expect to meet you on the way!"

"So there is news from Xueru?!"

He Yuzhu continued to test.

Shopkeeper Qian said with a smile: "That's true. My master asked someone to look at it. Next month No. 16 is a good day! It's just right for you to be engaged to my young lady!"

"That's a good idea. There are still twenty days left. I'm afraid I still need to make some preparations. By the way, Shopkeeper Qian, I don't understand this aspect, do you understand?!"

He Yuzhu calculated the time and asked back.

Shopkeeper Qian understood this matter very well, and immediately gave He Yuzhu a popular science talk!
After He Yuzhu listened silently, he understood the process.

Engagement is also known as "Wending", which used to be called "Naji" and "Nazheng". Although engagement is not as complicated as marriage, traditional customs still attach great importance to it. Both men and women need to prepare some gifts. The process is as follows: the groom first at home After the family sacrifice, they will take the same car with the matchmaker to the woman's house to marry.After getting out of the car and entering the door, you need to give a red envelope!

([-]) Tribute Officer: Commonly known as "Mr. Bao Box", he is specially responsible for presenting gifts and making appointments.Tribute officials must control the number of people (make up an even number), vehicles (six or twelve), dowry (even numbers and wrap properly in red paper), and six gifts.

([-]) Family Sacrifice: Before leaving for the woman’s house to Nacai, the man will perform the ancestor worship ceremony at home first. The maiden is hired by Fang's family, and asks the ancestors to bless this marriage with happiness.

([-]) Departure: After the family sacrifice, the tribute officer is responsible for loading all the betrothal gifts into the car, and the groom rides with the matchmaker to the bride's home.

([-]) Red envelopes: In addition to the number of people, the number of cars, and the betrothal gift, the Gongli Palace must also remind the groom to prepare more red envelopes before departure.For example, the uncle who came to open the groom's car door, the "press table", and the six accompanying relatives all need to prepare the bride's meeting gift, the bride's new friend who holds the washing water, and the matchmaker gift.

After that, how do you get hired after you set a lifetime appointment?

"Eat rice fragrance, marry a good son-in-law", there must be rice fragrance cakes in the six rituals.

Four-color sugar is also prepared, which symbolizes the sweetness of the new couple and the meaning of growing old together.

The bride price not only represents the man's repayment to the woman's parents, and thanks to the woman's family for their hard work in raising the newlywed, but also represents the man's face.Therefore, most of them are willing to buy in a beautiful and decent way, and each dowry gift also contains the symbolic meaning of auspiciousness and perfection.

Dowry gifts are usually divided into simple six-piece gifts or exquisite twelve-piece gifts. The amount of betrothal gifts depends on personal budget. At the same time, it is advisable to ask the matchmaker to ask the woman’s parents for advice and advice, so as to make the best of both worlds.

Next, the marriage of men and women officially debuts, and the sound of firecrackers sounds, and the person to be married by the man is here!On that day, ancestor worship and tea service will be carried out, and the ceremony will not be considered complete until wearing the ring holding hands to the white head.

After the big gift, how does the woman return the gift?
Chinese people have always paid attention to "reciprocity". After the man's gift, the woman will naturally return the gift, so that the man will not return empty-handed...
