It is also commonly known as "the bride's husband".
The Great Gan Dynasty was a dynasty that had never existed in history. Qin Chuan knew that he had traveled to a fictional dynasty.
The country has been at war with neighboring countries for many years, resulting in the deaths of a large number of men. Today, the male-to-female ratio is severely imbalanced, reaching a terrifying ratio of one to five.
In order to stimulate population growth, the imperial court issued a decree requiring all prefectures and counties to organize "bride-sending parties" and "bride-welcoming parties".
A "wedding procession" is a gathering of eligible adult women to marry together.
The "wedding procession" involved organizing unmarried adult men together and taking them to a designated place to choose a wife.
In Dagan, boys were considered adults at the age of sixteen, while girls were considered adults at fifteen.
I never expected that the government would actually be providing wives; what a stroke of luck...
Qin Chuan didn't need the village head to pull him; he started running on his own.
The imperial court is giving away brides without asking for dowries or buying a house. Anyone who isn't enthusiastic is out of their mind.
Seeing him run faster than a rabbit, the village headman's eyes filled with tears: "Silly boy! You've finally gotten the hang of it!"
"Everyone, hurry up and keep up!"
Before long, the group arrived at the "wedding procession" site.
The "wedding procession" was held in the county town market, attracting people from all around to come and watch the excitement.
In the market square, a stage had been set up, but there were not many people left. Only a few officials, a beautiful woman dressed in a wedding gown, phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, and some onlookers remained.
It should be noted that at this time of year, the place is usually packed with people and filled with the sounds of drums and gongs; it seems we've arrived too late.
"What happened? There's only one left?"
"Village head, that woman... looks like Miss Su!"
"Oh no! I told you to hurry up! It's all over! It's all over!" The village head slapped his thigh and cried out in despair.
"Village head, what are you panicking about! It's not like you're getting married!"
"You don't know, the higher-ups said that if ten couples can be formed in this village this year, I can be directly promoted to county elder, not just township elder... Alas, it's a pity that we're only missing Qin Shazi's couple, otherwise we would have ten couples!" the village head sighed.
"Hey, the treatment of elders in the county is twice as good as that of elders in the township..."
"What a pity, this Miss Su is definitely not going to make it!"
"Alas, what a pity! Miss Su would rather die than marry that idiot Qin!"
Listening to the discussions around him, Qin Chuan tried hard to recall this "Miss Su," but found he had no memory of her. He had no choice but to ask:
"What's wrong with Miss Su? Why would she rather die than marry?"
