Ding Tian's Ancient Life

Chapter 253 Love That Doesn't Change

Ma De made someone make the best jasmine tea given to him by his classmates, and even the desserts were the best lotus cakes and horseshoes he bought.

cake.

Everyone was beaming with joy and harmony.

Ding Tian also felt a lot more at ease, because Ma De was good at chatting, and when everyone was having fun, someone outside shouted: "Second Miss is here."

Immediately, a woman came in at the door, followed by two servant girls.

Needless to say, this is the second girl of the Ma family. She has a duck-egg-shaped face of a standard beauty, wearing a lake-green skirt with a white cloud-pattern cross-neck slanted jacket, emerald green silk, and the whole person is like a plant. green bamboo.

Her smooth hair is like a cloud, half of it is scattered behind her back, and the other half is combed in a soft double bun. In the cloud temples are inserted the silver steps of magpies climbing on the branches. On her slender wrists, she wears a pair of bracelets carved with silver silk. There is also a sapphire inlaid gold ring on the long finger, a satin girdle on the waist, a sachet of broken branches hanging on it, and patterned cloud-toed boots on the feet, the whole person looks so cute.

She has a timid look, like a little white rabbit, but when she looks at you, you can't ignore her.

Especially a pair of warm almond eyes, when she is staring at you seriously, it seems that you are the only one in her eyes!

You are her one and only, her God, her whole world!

Ding Tian finally understood why the old boss of the Zhang family fell in love with Miss Ma Er.

This girl is not outstanding, and she is not even bold, but she has a unique and attractive temperament. It is not an exaggeration to say that such a woman is one in a million.

Ding Tian could tell that this woman had dressed up on purpose, and Jin Buhuan looked straight at her.

It turned out that the second girl Ma just went out in homely and half-worn clothes that day, but now she is well-dressed, so she looks better naturally

When the two met, the second girl Ma recognized Jin Buhuan immediately: "So it's you!"

"Yes!" Jin Buhuan nodded: "Come to the mansion to ask for marriage, brother Ling has already agreed, this is a token of love..."

He took the pair of jade pendants out, tied the Liuyun pendant around his waist on the spot, and put the other Baifu pendant in Miss Ma's hand.

Holding the warm jade pendant in the palm of her hand, Miss Ma'er changed her timid expression just now, and suddenly she became energetic, her whole body seemed to have changed, and she blessed everyone, and brought The servant girl, covering her face with her sleeve, resigned shyly.

Ma De said happily: "My sister agrees!"

If you don't agree, you'd have to leave your face and leave. You won't be "shy", okay?

Everyone was overjoyed, especially Matchmaker Wang, for whom Ding Tian had given her two "auspicious and wishful" little silver nudes.Great color, nice style.

Not to mention the husband's matchmaking money, hers is also indispensable.

A group of people did not have lunch at Ma's house, but got up to leave. Before leaving, Jin Buhuan said: "Because my age is too old

When I grow up, I really want to get married as soon as possible. From tomorrow onwards, I will be engaged under the ceremony. It is best to get married before the beginning of autumn. In this case, during the autumn harvest, the tenants of the family will come to send renters, and by the way, I can meet the Lord. mother. "

This is a euphemism, and even an excuse is thought out.

In fact, both the man and the woman are grown up and can't afford it, so they might as well get married quickly.

"Alright." Made also meant the same thing.

He was afraid that it would take a long time. No matter what happened to the marriage, he didn't need to inquire about it. He knew that the Zhang family would definitely not let it go.

Luckily, the person who came to their side was Lord Ding, someone who no one could afford to offend.

A group of people came and went with a clatter, coming and going like the wind.

As soon as they arrived at the government office, they disbanded on the spot.

Ding Tian wore his official uniform, entered his own office yard, pulled his collar and shouted: "Xiaofeng! Zheng Dang! Hurry up and help me!"

! "

"Here we come, we come!" The two of them ran in quickly, and quickly changed Ding Tian's clothes. His official uniform looked majestic, but it was an official uniform!

For the sake of crispness and prestige, this thing is very particular, not to mention the inner layer, the outermost is the official silk material embroidered with things, and the inner is lined, and you have to wear a slim dark blue jacket inside. Then there is the inner garment... and now it's past the beginning of summer,

On a hot day, he was wearing a padded denim jacket with long sleeves and long legs, and he went to a meeting that lasted almost an hour!

Although it is very cool early in the morning, no matter how cool it is, it is only relatively speaking!

Now the hurdle vest and the little pants he is wearing at the bottom are all soaked through!

In the end, Ding Tian went to take a shower. In order not to spoil himself, Ding Tian chose to wear a hurdling vest and capri pants, and then his official prison uniform.

The jailer's official uniform is also made of silk and satin, which is light and breathable. Lying in the middle hall of the house, there is a draft, so it is naturally cool.

But Jin Buhuan was busy.

Never married a daughter-in-law, and had no parents or relatives to help, Jin Buhuan could only do everything by himself, but he didn't know exactly what to do, so Old Zheng Uncle became his adviser, and Matchmaker Wang even asked for everything. Old Uncle Zheng took the details, Zheng Dang was running errands for him, and Xiaofeng also went to join in the fun.

The people in the government office knew that Mr. Buhuan was going to get married, so they all showed their arms and rolled up their sleeves to help. If you can't help with a big job, can't you do a small job?Run an errand, buy something or something...

At night, Ding Tian told Wang Zuo that Jin Buhuan was getting married!

"The two of them are a good match..." Wang Zuo thought for a while, "Jin Buhuan is not bad, he is capable, and has a good family background. The second girl from the Ma family... I don't know very well, but Jin Buhuan is someone he can fall in love with." , definitely can’t go wrong.”

"Yes!" Ding Tian said cheerfully, "It's my first time as a matchmaker!"

He was quite excited, and happily shared with Wang Zuo his experience of being a matchmaker.

It was rare for him to chatter all night without getting impatient, and when the two of them were lying on the kang to sleep, Ding Tian had already mentioned what the name of Jin Buhuan's child should be in the future.

"What do you think of being called Jinma?" Cheng Guangwa brightened Ding Tian's eyes: "How meaningful is this name?"

"Vulgar, and they must have more than one child." Wang Zuo said, "It's okay if the only son is called a golden horse, but the eldest is called a golden horse, so is the second child a golden donkey?"

Ding Tian immediately laughed "Hahahaha..." rolling on the pit.

Wang Zuo has always had a skill, which is to tell cold jokes in a serious manner, but he can still laugh at people to death.

Although it is said that they are engaged, those from poor families are not so particular. Three days later, Jin Buhuan went to Ma's house to hire him.

Jin Buchang's family wealth is not much, and only in the past two years, after being with Ding Tian, ​​he has some savings, and he can live well, but it is a bit frivolous to marry a daughter-in-law and pay a betrothal gift.

As his "lord", Ding Tian always thought it would be more appropriate to be his "employer"... Naturally, he was obliged to prepare half of the dowry for him.

He happened to have a lot of things that he didn't need here, so he spent a long time picking in the warehouse, and finally got out two carts, which Jin Buhuan pulled over.

Four pieces of bright red brocade from the prosperous Changchun, and four pieces of bright red silk cloth scattered by celestial maidens.

Ten pieces of muslin cloth with a pattern of red wintersweet flowers, and ten pieces of fine cotton cloth with a pattern of white wintersweet flowers.

A set of gold-studded ruby ​​heads and a set of silver heads.

One or two heavy pen ingots and twenty wishful golden nudes;

There are forty silver nudes with eight treasures in two or two weights.

Plus two rosewood decorations, a 200-split wenge wood screen... This dowry, two cows that are not exchanged for money, [-] taels of dowry, and [-] acres of high-quality farmland are enough.

Matchmaker Wang gave Jin Buhuan a checklist for him to prepare.

"He has so many things, isn't it enough for the dowry?" Ding Tian thought that the Ma family wanted too much?

"Your things are your wishes, and mine is a must-have dowry gift." Matchmaker Wang said, "This is all the rules."

Ding Tian glanced at the items on the list, okay, there are a lot of odds and ends.

What kind of betrothal cakes, you need a load, that is, one hundred, which means "a hundred years of good marriage".

Three animals: two pairs of chickens, two males and two females (if the parents are incomplete, one pair is enough); three to five catties of pork can be eaten in pairs (Xizhifei), that is, one piece of chicken will be connected to the other to show rich and sincere respect.

The wine needs four jars and peanuts in shells: to bless the prosperity of the descendants, it also contains the meaning of perfection and blessing, and endless life.

Tea and sesame: Because seeds must be used to plant tea, tea is used as a gift, implying that once a woman enters into a marriage contract, she must keep her promise and never regret it, which is also the "oil sesame tea gift".

Incense cannon bracelet gold: incense (without bones and green feet), cannon (big firecrackers and cannons), bracelets (dragon and phoenix paired happiness bracelets).

Dou Ermi: The man prepares twelve catties of glutinous rice and three catties of sugar, which are used to make desserts for the bride's family, in order to take the meaning of perfection and sweetness.

Before Ding Tian and the others finished watching, Old Uncle Zheng had already snatched it up: "Okay, I'll let someone do it right away!" Matchmaker Wang said happily: "As soon as possible! I'll go and see over there again, do you think the date is suitable? But is there anything else to say?"

After finishing speaking, he flicked the handkerchief and walked away staggeringly.

Ding Tian sneezed several times behind her back...

It's just that Matchmaker Wang had just left, and Uncle Zheng took people out to do some shopping, and another matchmaker came outside!

Because Jin Buhuan is about to get married, Ding Tian gave him a wedding leave. He is fine on weekdays. Ding Tian is at Jin’s house. Jin Buhuan has already asked Uncle Zheng to find someone to renovate the old house and paint the walls. Let's clean it up.

Ma De has prepared wood for furniture a long time ago. He spends more money, hires more people, and works faster. Now it happens to be the slack time for farming. Once the beginning of autumn is over, he should be busy with the autumn harvest. At that time, really There are not many idlers.

So now I would rather rush to work than get married as soon as possible. After the beginning of autumn, I will be busy.

The workers who were working enthusiastically let the matchmaker in. Ding Tian and Jin Buhuan were wearing ordinary homely clothes and directing the workers to do their work.

Seeing the matchmaker, he thought she was looking for Matchmaker Wang. Ding Tian just wanted to say that Matchmaker Wang had gone to Ma's house, when he heard the matchmaker wave her handkerchief... Ding Tian's sneeze, "Ah choo", sneezed again. up.

"Hey! This is not to change the husband, right?" The matchmaker said in the same tone as Wang Matchmaker, exaggerating: "What a talent!"

"This... who are you?" Jin Buhuan took two steps back and rubbed his nose, which was also itchy.

"My surname is Zhang, and they all call me Matchmaker Zhang!" Matchmaker Zhang announced her family name, and then opened her mouth... At least Ding Tian thought so. This matchmaker has a big mouth, which is not very attractive.

"I'm here to tell you about a good marriage, the second daughter of the Liu family in the south of the city, she has a beautiful face, good embroidery, and hardworking....

"The man said with a crackling mouth.

"Stop!" Ding Tian raised his hand and made a "stop" gesture: "Mr. Buchang is already engaged, and the betrothal gift is about to be given. Are you going to be a matchmaker? Are you asking him to take a concubine?"

Zhang Matchmaker's face froze unnaturally: "The second girl of the Liu family is a big girl, she is 16 years old this year, the age of a flower branch..."

The implication is that she is much younger and more tender than the 23-year-old girl from the Ma family.

Whoever it is, will marry a younger one, right?Who cares about an old girl who can't get married like an old aunt?

"She is a fairy, and I don't want money!" Jin Buhuan immediately understood the meaning of the matchmaker: "My wife will only be the second girl of the Ma family. Hiring, the second girl of the Liu family, you can give it to someone else."

Matchmaker Zhang wanted to say something, but Jin Buhuan waved her hand: "Go, don't give it away!"

Ding Tian looked at him and gave him a thumbs up, perhaps, this is the love that never changes.

Matchmaker Zhang said without giving up: "The second girl of the Liu family is a famous beauty in the city! The dowry is generous! Her family is rich!"

The Liu family is a business that runs restaurants. Since the fall of the Ma family, the Liu family has risen rapidly...
