Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 115 Six Rituals

Zhao Chen returned to the palace. After lunch, Zhao Chen continued to learn carpentry from Wang Pu!

Today Zhao Chen is making a sailing boat, and Wang Pu is carefully pointing at the side!

"Your Majesty, to do carpentry, you must first have the frame, and then the details! If the frame is not well done, no matter how good the details are, it is useless! If the frame is well done, but the details are not good, we can still work slowly. Modify!" Wang Pu said.

This Wang Pu is an honest man, he taught Zhao Chen very carefully! In fact, Wang Pu also has his own "ambition". He intends to teach Zhao Chen to be the only living and best carpenter emperor in history.

"You're right! In fact, in everything you do, you need to have a framework first, and then the details! The same is true for governing the country!" Zhao Chen said calmly while doing carpentry.

"A villain doesn't understand the principles of governing a country! A villain is just a carpenter, so he doesn't dare to think about those principles!" Wang Pu laughed.

"Actually, all things in the world are interlinked and have the same principle!" Zhao Chen said flatly.

On the surface, he is doing carpentry, but deep down he is thinking about many things! He is forbearance, he is doing some very absurd things to paralyze what can be sought, but on the other hand he is also thinking, he is improving himself and accumulating strength in thinking!

Zhao Chen didn't stop until late at night!

He was sitting there, and Lin Bao rubbed his shoulders behind him!

"Your Majesty saw Miss Zhejia today?" Lin Baomei smiled.

"Yes, I saw her!" Zhao Chen said.

"What do you think of Miss Zhejia?" Lin Bao said.

"Beautiful and delicate, she really lives up to her reputation!" Zhao Chen said.

Of course, Zhao Chen wasn't trying to be perfunctory with Lin Bao, Zhe Yueru was indeed extremely beautiful, and could almost be called the number one beauty Zhao Chen had ever seen in this era! Even that A Yao, because she is younger than Zhe Yueru and her body has not yet grown up, she is a little worse than Zhe Yueru! Moreover, Zheyueru has a talented and feminine temperament, and her appearance is especially moving when she is concentrating on painting! In addition to the temperament of a talented woman, she also has a temperament of obedience. She has developed the spirit of three obediences and four virtues of ancient Chinese women to the extreme! For men, such a woman is extremely exciting!

"If Your Majesty likes Miss Zhe, then marry Miss Zhe into the palace!" Lin Baomei laughed.

"Are you going to marry Miss Zhe into the palace now? Isn't this...too fast?" Zhao Chen was a little stunned.

He and Zheyueru have only met once. Apart from knowing that Zheyueru is extremely beautiful in appearance and feeling that Zheyueru is extremely pure in heart, Zhao Chen has no other understanding of Zheyueru, but he did not expect Lin Bao to say it now. Come on like this! He came from modern times, experienced many things, and learned many things, but he still doesn't know much about the ways of the world in this era! Things between men and women in this era are not at all like the modern society of the later generations. In this era, men and women generally never meet before getting married! Many men and women don't even know each other's appearance or temperament, and they get married and have children under the arrangement of their parents! Zhao Chen was able to see Zheyueru early, which is already an exception in this era!

Because he is the king, there is such an exception!

"Does Your Majesty have any dissatisfaction with Miss Zhe?" Lin Bao asked in surprise.

"That's not true!" Zhao Chen said.

"Then what is Your Majesty worried about?" Lin Bao smiled while rubbing his shoulders.

"I'm not worried about anything... By the way, I think that Miss Zhe is nice, but how does Miss Zhe feel towards me?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the king of a country, and the object of all women's admiration. Miss Zhejia naturally admires and admires His Majesty!" Lin Bao said.

Seeing Lin Bao's efforts to promote himself and Zhe Yueru, Zhao Chen smiled slightly and said, "What if Miss Zhe Jia disagrees?"

Lin Baomei smiled and said: "Your Majesty, from ancient times to the present, marriage matters have been ordered by parents and the words of matchmakers. As long as Mr. Zhe agrees, Miss Zhejia will naturally agree!"

Zhao Chen said: "Then Master Zhe agrees?"

Lin Baodao: "Master Zhe naturally agrees very much! Lord Zhe watched His Majesty come all the way from Tongguan to Hanzhong with his own eyes, supported His Majesty on the throne, and now he is trying his best to help His Majesty handle state affairs! He is loyal to His Majesty, if he can I don't know how happy I am to marry Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Chen was silent for a long time, and said, "I'll leave this matter to you! Say hello to Mr. Zhe first!"

Lin Bao smiled happily and said, "Okay! Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely make this happen! By this time next year, Miss Zhejia should have already entered the palace!"

The ancient emperors took a very long time to prepare for their wedding, usually about a year! Of course, sometimes the time will be shorter, but it will take about half a year!

According to Zhao Chen's guess, Zhe Keqiu could not wait to send his daughter to the palace, so his wedding preparation time will not be long, it should be about half a year!

"I'm a little tired today, I don't want to talk or move! Go out and close the door for me!" Zhao Chen said softly.

Lin Bao nodded in agreement, and then quietly exited Zhao Chen's bedroom, not to mention that!

Zhao Chen opened the window and stood in front of it!

In winter, the cold wind is bitter, Zhao Chen let the cold wind blow on his face, this kind of cold wind can wake him up!

It has been almost half a year since he was enthroned! It has been a year since Kaifeng City was broken!

Over the past year, all kinds of things have happened one after another, such as fleeing, assassination, absurd times when cronies were demoted, hunting carpenters, etc., and now he has a big wedding again! If it was an ordinary eleven-year-old boy, he would have a mental breakdown after encountering so many things! Although Zhao Chen was not going to collapse, he still felt a little confused at this moment, the road ahead was uncertain, and he didn't know how much he could grasp! He doesn't know where his own destiny will go!

"This kind of forbearance, this kind of depression, I don't know if I can overcome Zhe Keqiu in the future! Now Zhe Keqiu stuffed his daughter next to me. His daughter is indeed very beautiful, but he forced her into me like this. I really don’t want the one next to me! Forget it, just follow him! All I can do now is follow him, satisfy him, and let him not be wary of me at all! Now that Kang An has taken refuge in me, I hope Kang An An can find more people who are loyal to me! Now, everything depends on the outside world, look at the situation of Li Gang and Yue Fei! If they are strong enough, I should be able to kill the thieves with internal cooperation! However, it still needs time! I have to wait for the best time, and once I make a move, there is no room for the slightest mistake, and I have to let it go without any chance of surviving!"

Zhao Chen's martial arts gradually improved, the cold wind only made him awake, but it couldn't make him sick!

After a long time, he finally closed the window, lay on the bed and began to rest!

*** ***

Early the next morning, Lin Bao told Zhe Keqiu the news that Zhao Chen agreed to the marriage. Zhe Keqiu was overjoyed and immediately started to arrange the matter!

The ancients had six rituals for marriage, which are Na Cai, Wen Ming, Na Ji, Na Zheng, and He Qin Ying! Na Cai is a matchmaker who comes to propose marriage. If the woman agrees, she will ask for her name, and the woman will tell the man her name! Then there is Najib, Najib is the man who handed over the names and birthdays of the two men and women to the Taoist temple for divination, and finally told the woman the result of the divination! When it comes to Najib, it is equivalent to the end of the engagement, and there is no room for regret! Nazheng means that the man sends the bride price to the woman's home! The due date is when the man informs the woman of the auspicious day, and the two parties begin to formally prepare for the marriage! The kiss means that the groom comes to the woman's home, takes the woman into his own home, and completes the whole process of the wedding!

Emperors also follow these six ceremonies when they get married, but the difference from ordinary people is that the emperor's levy is huge, so it is called the big levy! The emperor's marriage is determined after the Qin Tianjian sacrifices to the sky, so the due date must be determined by the Qin Tianjian! In addition, the emperor's status is noble, and it is impossible to go to the woman's home to marry the bride in person, but to send the ministers of the court to marry the bride, so the personal reception is called "welcome"!

Zhe Keqiu hurriedly arranged this matter, he hoped that his daughter and Zhao Chen would get married as soon as possible! The sooner he becomes the head of the country, the stronger his position will be!

On November 25th, Han Ping, Yushi Zhongcheng, Wei Ming, Minister of Rites, and Xue Rui, Minister of Hubu, came to Zhekeqiu's home together. It is equivalent to these three being Zhao Chen's matchmakers!

The three of them are close friends at the same time, and they can treat the three of them well at home!

The identities of the three of them are different today, so naturally it is impossible for him to act like a superior!

It was not until dusk that the three of them left Zhe Keqiu's home, and the three of them came to the palace all the way, and informed Zhao Chen of the results of "Nacai" and "Ask for Name", indicating that Zhe's family agreed to the marriage, and at the same time, Zhe Miss Jia's boudoir name was handed over to Zhao Chen!

The first two procedures of the six rituals are considered complete!

Looking at Zhe Yueru's name written on the brocade cloth, Zhao Chen had a sneer on his face!

Regardless of Zhe Yueru's temperament, this marriage is a conspiracy after all! He had to accept this conspiracy, he didn't have any good feelings for this marriage!

"There is only half a year, Li Gang and the others are definitely not ready! Don't they want to marry a traitor's daughter then?" Zhao Chen was very bored!

*** ***

After Na Cai and asking for his name, it was Najib, and Han Ping and the other three were still going to do this matter!

The three of Han Ping sent the names of Zhao Chen and Zheyueru to a nearby temple, and finally got the hexagram of "Daji"! Both their names and birth dates match, so they are suitable to be a couple!

Najib is an engagement in ancient times, and Han Ping and the other three informed Zhe Keqiu's family of the result of the divination, and the marriage was considered settled! Also, when Najib, both men and women need to exchange gifts! Han Ping sent the man's gift to the woman's home, it was a strange stone seal! In the evening, Zhao Chen also received a gift from the woman's family! The gift from the woman's family turned out to be a sachet. According to Han Ping, this sachet was made by Zheyueru himself!

In the middle of the night, Zhao Chen was holding the sachet, sniffing the fragrance of the sachet, and thought to himself that the female worker Zheyueru was very good, and the mandarin ducks were embroidered on the sachet, so lifelike! It's a pity that this person is a daughter who can be expected, otherwise, if he is older, when he really has the ability to control his own destiny, he may really consider this woman! Now I have to accept it!

At this moment in Zhefu, Zheyueru is having trouble falling asleep!

Najib has passed away, and the marriage between the two parties is officially settled! In half a year to a year, she will enter the palace, and she will be officially married from then on! It is impossible for her to say that she is not apprehensive at this moment!

She is different from Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen only regards this marriage as something that must be accepted and endured. Zhao Chen has no expectation or joy for this marriage, but Zhe Yueru is sincerely looking forward to it. Looking forward to this matter, she has a pure mind and has never thought about anything else!

"May the Bodhisattva bless all the best! Others say that your majesty is a foolish king, but when I saw him at home that day, your majesty didn't look like a foolish king at all! When I get to the palace, I will assist your majesty and be a real Empress of the world!"

Thinking of the embarrassment, Zhe Yueru blushes all over her face!

Until the end, Zhe Yueru fell asleep with a heart full of happiness, not to mention that!
