As the saying goes, good things have gone through many months. Yang Cong’s marriage finally came to a certain date, which is to set the date of marriage.

This step is called an invitation date, which means that the man’s parents choose a few particularly auspicious days to send to the woman’s family, and then the woman’s family chooses the best day.

It is not easy to get married these days, and there are six steps to follow the rules.

The first step is to receive the lottery, that is, the man invites a matchmaker to bring gifts to the woman's house to introduce his own situation to see if the woman's family intends to get married.

To talk about this step, Lu Ling'er's family is simple. It's basically just a month since Lu Song and his wife have been in contact with Yang Lin and his wife for less than a month.

The Zhang Zhen family is different. Yang Cong's grandfather Yang Rong has been with the Zhang family for more than ten years. The middle matchmaker must have invited him, but the Zhang family has always been lukewarm, and it is extremely difficult to win the lottery.

The next second step is to ask for the name, that is, when the parents of both parties intend to get married, they will hand over the names and birth dates of the man and the matchmaker to ask about the good and bad luck. If there is no problem, they will proceed to the next step.

This step is not a joke these days. If the birth date and horoscope are not in line with each other, then you cannot get married, and there is nothing to say.

As for the birth date and horoscope, it is said that the law of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements is based on the so-called white horse and green cow, once the sheep and rat are gone, the chicken and monkey are not in the end, so this is roughly the meaning.

However, as long as the relationship is not strong, the marriage can basically be accomplished, because after all, the matchmaker collects money, and even if it is not very suitable, they will say that the marriage is suitable.

The next third step is Najib, which means that the matchmaker went to the temple to get a jib and told the woman's house that this marriage is quite appropriate. At this time, according to common etiquette, the woman's family wanted to give a geese to the matchmaker. I don't know why there were so many geese in ancient times. Later generations were not so common. Only many words about "hero geese" were seen in books.

The next fourth step is to receive a levy, that is, to give a betrothal gift. There are no strict regulations on this betrothal gift, mainly depending on the conditions of the man's family. The rich ones are naturally silk, silk, satin, gold, silver, treasures, pigs, cattle, sheep, and other livestock. How can you be polite? If you don't have money, you can also give some food and daily necessities.

The fifth step is to invite an appointment, which is the date when the woman’s family chooses to get married.

This step seems very simple, and the female parents will choose a day on several auspicious days. However, it is a bit troublesome to get to Yang Cong because he wants to marry two at a time, and Lu Ling'er and Zhang Zhen are not the daughters of ordinary families.

Although it is normal for men to marry three wives and four concubines these days, it is rare to marry two at a time and get married at the same time.

According to the rules, even if you are both wives, you have to divide them into different sizes, so there are often big wives, second wives, etc. in the play.

If the Lu family and the Zhang family are ordinary officials, it will be difficult to distinguish between the sizes. Even if the difference in official positions is a bit big, if you want to define the daughter as the young one, they will not be happy. After all, the daughters of officials nowadays don’t have to worry about marrying. If there are big ones, why do you have to be the young ones for you?

This is a matter of face. Generally, even the smallest officials cannot afford to give up on this. From this we can see how hard Xu Jie has worked in history. He actually married his granddaughter to Yan Song's grandson as his little wife. This requires a lot of courage and a very thick face. Of course, as a parent of the man, Yan Song also feels very proud.

Lu Song and Zhang Yue are not Xu Jie, who can save their face?

Of course, this is Zhang Yue, because Lu Ling'er is the emperor's tits girl, the kind who kisses her even more than her own sister. She has been having sex with the emperor since she was a child. If she wants to cry, the emperor will be scared to the point of being at a loss. Who dares to let her suffer?

Therefore, Zhang Yue took the initiative to choose the last one among a few auspicious days, and Lu Song also tacitly chose the first one among a few auspicious days. In this way, the marriage between the two families is about half a month apart, and it is more convenient for the Yang family to prepare.

Next is the last step to welcome the bride. At this time, Yang Cong has to go on stage. He has to wear a big red robe and take a big red flower to pick up the bride, and also prepare a banquet to entertain relatives and friends.

This time, the entire capital was alarmed. Just kidding, marrying the emperor's dearest sister would naturally be as grand as possible. The Yang family is also a master who is not short of money. There were hundreds of tables on the banquet alone, and it was even more than ten days. Almost all the officials and gentry in the capital received invitations. Of course, there was no force to go to the Yang family.

In short, the Yang family just wanted to make the wedding lively and not lose the emperor's face. The officials in the capital were also very sensible. Many of them took the initiative to send people to stare at the Yang family's banquet. Whenever they were not full enough, there would always be people coming with gifts and not let a seat be empty.

This time, Yang Cong was also troubled. He was the top scholar and married the emperor's sister. The one who presided over the wedding was Li Shi, the chief assistant of the dynasty. Of course, countless senior officials and nobles in the court came to celebrate. He could not neglect any of them. Therefore, he had to go to accompany him every time, and was often infuriated to distinguish between the east, west, south and north.

On the day when Yang Cong and Lu Ling'er got married, the scene was quite spectacular. Jiajing not only sent several cars of dowry, but also allowed Lu Song to organize the Jinyiwei to support the scene. That guy, led the chief assistant of the dynasty, was full of majestic Jinyiwei everywhere. Even if the capital was full of champions, the Yang family would make the wedding scene so grand.

On this day, the people in the capital have gained a lot of knowledge. It seems that in addition to the emperor's marriage, only the top scholar Yang Cong's marriage was the most lively this time. The problem was that the emperor's marriage was in the palace, and ordinary people couldn't see it. The top scholar was outside the palace, and everyone could go to watch the fun.

That guy, almost all the people in the capital, were crowded to Dashiyongfang. From West Chang'an Street to the inner city wall, there were crowds everywhere. Except for the main road between Yang's mansion and Lu's mansion, there were almost all the Jinyiwei lined up to guard the other places.

The capital was filled with gongs and drums, and after a day of lively, Yang Cong finally welcomed Lu Ling'er into the house. As for the last bridal chamber, he couldn't tell.

The Yang family really held the wedding this time, and the name of the top scholar Yang Cong almost spread throughout the capital. However, ordinary people don’t know that it’s not over yet.

The Yang family hurriedly prepared for a few days and actually started to hold a banquet again.

Most people in the capital know about the marriage between Yang Cong and Lu Ling'er, but not many people know about the marriage between Yang Cong and Zhang Zhen. After all, Zhang Yue's official position is there, and no one will promote his daughter to marry someone and be a young man after eating too much.

As soon as the news of the top scholar Yang Cong getting married again came out, it made people jealous.

It would be amazing that you could marry the daughter of the Lu family. You even married the emperor's new favorite, the daughter of Zhang Yue, the left deputy censor of the Censorate. This guy has an unlimited future.

Yang Cong has not considered the future at this moment. What he is most worried about is whether Lu Linger and Zhang Zhen can get along well. If they want the two to have conflicts, he will be overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Lu Ling'er is innocent by nature and Zhang Zhen is gentle and considerate by nature. The two are quite compatible with each other. They are not from ordinary families. They have seen many men with three wives and four concubines. Lu Ling'er has seen dozens of concubines from Jiajing, and they have not much objection to Yang Cong's behavior of marrying them at one time.
