Chapter 608 Master Dabing (1)

A few days after Zhang Hu, Luo Pingyang, Tang Shi and Zuoshan Diao entered the mountain, good news came. The people in Zuoshan Diao's original village quickly killed, fled, comforted and began to slowly penetrate into the surrounding villages, and everything had a good start.

Wu Yonglin has prepared various "three books" and "six rituals" for Huang Miaohao to propose marriage to the Tangmen in Sichuan these days. In order to cooperate with this action, he sold better and better. He had already reached 500 copies of "New Youth" and added a related introduction to "perfume" - "He only likes moonlight. The moonlight does not distinguish between color, but only paints the outline of the terrain. It covers the earth gray and suffocates life for a night. In this world that is cast out of lead, there is nothing moving except the wind that sometimes falls on the gray woods like a shadow, and nothing is alive except the smell of bare land. Such a world is the only world he recognizes, because it is with his soul

The world is similar.'. In addition, the advertisement for Wang Gan Niang has long lost the addiction of the girls in the Qinlou Chuguan. "Perfume" is hot before it is sold. Now almost all the women of wealthy families in Chengdu know about "perfume", which has become their favorite question to discuss after dinner, and they have speculated on what price this thing will eventually be bought. Wu Yonglin was also surprised by the fact that he added this sentence at the end of the latest episode of "New Youth": The person who can guess the price of "perfume" will receive an unexpected mysterious gift. As soon as this statement was made, a craze immediately set off in Chengdu. The discussion of "perfume" is not limited to the wealthy family, but has become a national movement.

("Three Books" refer to documents used in the "Six Lies" process, including appointment letters, ritual letters and welcome letters.

The letter of appointment: is the document for engagement. When Najib (a man and a woman enter into a marriage contract), the man’s family handed over the book to the woman’s family; the letter of ceremony: the document used when the gift is over, listing the items and quantity of the gift is over; the letter of welcome: is the document for marrying the bride. It is the document given to the woman by the man when the bride is over.

"Six Lis" refers to the entire marriage process from proposal to completion. "Six Lis" means six etiquette laws, referring to Nacai, Naji, Nazheng, and invites you to welcome him.

Nacai: When children get married, the parents of the male family ask the matchmaker to propose marriage to the female family with a good choice. When the male family is in Nacai, they need to give about thirty gifts symbolizing auspicious meaning to the female family; the female family also asks the matchmaker to ask the male family about the situation. The ancient Han marriage customs are popular in many areas of the country. The first ritual of the "Six Lessons". The man wants to marry the woman, and the male family sends the matchmaker to propose marriage to the female family and sends the matchmaker to propose marriage to the female family and gives gifts. After receiving the approval, the matchmaker will ask the matchmaker to formally accept the "choice of selection" to the female family. After the initial discussion, if the woman is interested, the man sends the matchmaker to formally propose marriage to the female family and brings certain gifts, so it is called. The gifts of the Gunacai are only geese. Nacai is the beginning of all marriage procedures. The ceremony of the later generations is basically in the weekly manner, and the gifts are otherwise stipulated. "Celebrity·

"Shi Hun Li": "The Hun Li, the ritual is given, and the geese are used." Zheng Xuan's note: "If you want to marry him, you must first send the matchmaker to communicate with him, and the daughter will approve him, and then let someone take him to choose him." The gifts are made by geese. Later generations gradually add gifts. In the Ming Dynasty, Chen Yan and the gifts are in the hall. In the Qing Dynasty, Chen Yi and the wedding person were invited to court, and the letters were sent to the death. The host of the marriage received the letter and reported to the temple. The common people accepted the jewelry, and the number of jewelry was limited to four. At the beginning of Yongzheng, the Han people accepted the marriage, and the number of jewelry was limited to eight ranks. The number of food was limited to two ranks below the fifth rank, and two ranks below the eight ranks below the army, civilians and fruit boxes were also limited to four. On the day of the wedding, the official official deacon, lanterns, twelve drum music, and those who were not as good as the quality were, lanterns, and eight drum music were prohibited. All officials and civilians were allowed to use wealth gifts.

Ask for the name: That is, after the woman’s parents accept the proposal, the woman’s family brings her daughter’s Nian Geng eight characters back to the man’s family to make the man and woman a good or bad match.

The second ritual among the "Six Rites" of the Western Zhou Dynasty. It says: "Ask the name: Those who ask about the name will return to the good or bad." The "Book of Rites·The Notes of Fang Family" also says: "Ask the name, ask the mother of a girl." When asking about the name, geese are used as the gift for Zhi to see. "Baihutong" Volume 4 "Marriage" says: "Na Cai, ask for the name, Na Ji, ask for a date, and welcome it in person, and use geese. Na Zheng is called Xuan Hu, so geese does not use geese." After the man's family performed the ritual, he asked the matchmaker to ask the woman's name, date of birth and time, so that the time of the time of the birth, so that

The man’s family asked questions, and whether to get married or not, what is the good or bad luck. Or they thought that the man sent an envoy to ask the woman’s biological mother’s surname to distinguish the legitimate and illegitimate. Later, the question was extended to many aspects such as family, position, property, appearance, health, etc. When asking for names, you must carry gifts, generally using geese. In Guangdong, Hainan and southwest ethnic minorities, betel nut is often used as gifts to carry names. The woman’s Geng Tie and the man’s birthday were divined, and it was confirmed that she could get married before performing a Najibian ceremony.

Naji (also known as the "Bowending"): After receiving the Geng Tie, the Geng Tie will be placed in front of the gods or in the ancestor's case to ask for good or bad luck, so as to confirm that the Geng eight characters of the two parties are not in conflict or in conflict. After learning that the two parties have no signs of conflict or in conflict, the marriage has been initially agreed.

Na Zheng (also known as the over-great gift): that is, the man's family will send the letter of appointment and the letter of ceremony to the woman's house. One month to two weeks before the wedding, the man's family will invite two or four female relatives (must be a person with full blessing) to meet with the matchmaker, bring the betrothal gift, gift and betrothal gift to the woman's house; at this time, the woman's family needs to return the gift, also known as "Na Cheng". "The Book of Rites·Shihun Li" Kong Yingda's memorial: "Those who accept the chasing are to receive the wealth of appointment. The chasing is to receive the wealth of appointment. First, the marriage is to receive the wealth of appointment and then the marriage is to be completed." After this ritual ceremony, the marriage contract is completely established. "The Book of Jin·Zhi 11": "In the eighth year of Taikang, there was a report from the Ministry of Justice: When the wedding was to be accepted, the Xuan Huo tied silk with silk, add jade and horses. The king and prince Xuan Huo tied silk with silk, add jade, ride a horse. The doctor used the Xuan Huo tied silk with silk and sheep." The gifts used in the Song Dynasty no longer follow the Zhou Zhi, gold

Silver silk and silk are determined according to the level. The Ming Dynasty betrothal gifts advocated frugality. "The Ming History·Zhiyi" wedding of the official: "The envoy is like auspicious rituals, add Xuanlu, tie silk, and write letters, and do not use geese." The ceremony followed the Song system: "Bin delivered a speech: "A certain official is the most important thing to the husband and wife, and is the one who is the one who is willing to follow the ceremony. If there is a coin of unsightly, he dares to ask for the envoy." The person in charge of the marriage said: "A certain official gave a respect for the gift, but he dared not to accept it." The person in charge of the marriage was given by the letter, and the person in charge of the marriage also answered the letter of letter." In modern times, there was no name for "the envoy", but there was the reality of giving gifts, which was added to Nacai, or even called "the envoy". The 1920 Yingshan County Chronicle: "In ancient times, there were Nacai, asked for the name, Naji, Nazheng, and asked for the appointment, and welcomed the six rites in person. Now, Nacai and Nachai were used and received the coins."

Ask for date (also known as begging for a day): that is, the male family chooses a good day for marriage and seeks the consent of the female family.

Welcoming (or wedding): On the auspicious day of the wedding, the groom in a dress will go to the girl's house with a matchmaker, and relatives and friends to marry the bride. Before going to the girl's house, the groom needs to pay a visit to the ancestral temple of the girl's house, and then use a sedan chair to bring the bride to the man's house. After completing the ceremony of worshiping heaven, earth, and ancestors at the man's house, he will be sent to the bridal chamber.

There is also a saying in Suzhou and Hangzhou: It is said that the two men and women who are matchmakers travel from "Question" to "Six Lessons", and the matchmaker has to go at least thirteen trips. The host has to kill chickens for every trip, and there is still a chicken that tastes delicious on the "good day" day. However, the bride wants to get into a sedan chair and cannot chew it calmly. At most, it can only eat half of it. Together, it will be thirteen and a half. This is the word "poor" and it will become the meaning of being a matchmaker over time.)

Although Tang Rui and Huang Chenke had already completed the two steps of naming and asking for names, Wu Yonglin, as a formal master of Dabing (a male matchmaker and female matchmaker called "Madam Dabing"), these essential procedures still had to go there in person. However, the night before departure, Huang Miaohao privately called the place where "New Youth" was printed. It was an ordinary courtyard with three gilded characters "Printing Bureau" on the plaque in front of the door. It was planned by Huang Miaohao in a very well-known manner, including carved plates, movable type printing, paper room, and ink room, and movable type printing,

Wu Yonglin also taught those craftsmen a secret that they didn't know, which was to use stone to print certain fixed patterns or words, such as plum blossom papers and headers that fixed the title of the striking title. The reason why the circulation of "New Youth" was not increased in the past was because wood carvings were permanently easy to disperse ink and leave dirty, which invisibly restricted its development. At the beginning, in order to make the background of "New Youth" look like a scroll that is unbearable to put down, Huang Miaohao's background carvings made those craftsmen produce more than 100 copies in the previous few issues. Wu Yonglin later felt that this was a bit overwhelming. Huang Miaohao's painter could only be considered medium, and her miscellaneous

Bo's carvings will not help the release of "New Youth". Wu Yonglin could not bear to let down the beauty's beauty's good intentions. Without saying it, he only selected a few representative "New Embroidery Like Journey to the West", "Ink and Painting Journey to the West", and "Journey to the West of the Heavenly Palace" as a fixed background. Such a simple change not only increased the printing speed, but also improved the quality of the publication of "New Youth". The circulation of "New Youth" also increased. In the past, I was anxious to see the meat that I couldn't eat, but now I am afraid of printing more "New Youth" Chengdu Prefecture

The people couldn't digest it, and Huang Miaohao admired Wu Yonglin's subtle knowledge. The original feeling of goodness had already been wiped out. But what they didn't know was that the influence of "New Youth" was far more than that. I heard that "New Youth" had become popular in surrounding Dali and related prefectures. People circulated and followed it. The most shameless thing was that some bad businessmen in Tokyo were popular with the cold fried rice of "New Youth". The books published in chapters of "Journey to the West" were even in short supply. The most proud Tokyoites in the past began to envy the Chengdu people who were thousands of miles away.

When Wu Yonglin entered the printing bureau, the craftsmen around him greeted him enthusiastically. Wu Yonglin would come every few days, sometimes to deliver manuscripts, and sometimes to bring them some amazing changes. After spending a long time with this easy-to-talk prefect, these craftsmen have long regarded Wu Yonglin as their own.

Da Zhangzhu has now become the busiest person in the printing bureau. He can rarely see him in the printing bureau. The output of bamboo paper in the original town can no longer keep up with the supply of "New Youth". Wu Yonglin wanted to use bamboo paper to make some new articles. In order to reduce the cost of printing "New Youth", Da Zhangzhu started to go outfields to discuss paper business. Da Zhangzhu has been traveling almost all over the paper shops around Chengdu Mansion. He also found several paper shops that can replace bamboo paper. However, the other party saw that "New Youth" was very popular in Chengdu Mansion and secretly colluded to increase the price of paper. Da Zhangzhu is not the opponent of these slick merchants. Today, he went around again, and basically nothing was done. He returned empty-handed. When he entered the yard, he looked dazed and his eyes were scattered. Seeing Wu Yonglin in the printing bureau, he immediately felt like he had seen a savior, and he suffered a lot in front of him.

"Look, who did I bring you here today?"

"Miss Xingyue, why is it you?"

"I can't eat Mr. Wu's food forever. I have to put some effort into it." Du Xinyue cleaned her hair, looking leisurely with a clear mind.

"Xingyue, this matter is actually very simple. In my opinion, these people have already secretly colluded together. You might as well catch the other party off guard now and say to the boss there, 'I'll set the long-term supply of paper today', and the faster the matter, the better. The difference in the price of the paper he issued will belong to you."

"Mr. Wu, why are you so embarrassed?"

"The greater your ability, the greater your bowl of rice you can eat."

Da Zhangzhu was panicked. He didn't want to suffer the price offered by those paper merchants, and he didn't want to suffer the silence. "Mr. Wu, isn't this equivalent to bowing his head to the other party? Otherwise, I'll go back to my hometown now and ask my father and fellow villagers to hurry up and copy paper. They should have time to work harder."

"What should I do if I print 500 copies now, and what should I do if I print 1,000 copies in the future, or even more?" After Wu Yonglin said, Da Zhangzhu continued to feel sad.

Du Xinyue, who was standing beside him, quickly came out and said, "My dad brother, Lord Wu is called to defeat each one. Don't worry, this matter is covered by me, and I guarantee it will be beautiful."

Wu Yonglin's plan soon showed results. When Du Xinyue and one of the paper shops of "Iron Cable" were discussing the order of the first batch of paper, the other paper shops received news one after another that the paper shop was preparing to take over the business. When they arrived one after another, they seemed to be a step late. The boss of the paper shop was so happy that he was so happy that everyone had forgotten the oath of moving forward and retreating together. But when he took out the contract the next day and went to the printing office to deliver the goods.

But he was stunned. The paper was lost at some point, or the words on the contract disappeared. In fact, Wu Yonglin had already used cuttlefish ink and transparent fish glue to draw up a contract that would disappear overnight. That night, Wu Yonglin cut the mess and broke the other paper merchants who were extremely disappointed one by one. This paper supply crisis was solved. As for Du Xinyue, he stayed in the printing bureau for a long time, dealing with those paper merchants specifically, and became an indispensable part of the printing bureau.
