The third brother is finally getting married, which is a big thing for the Zhou family.

The relationship between Fu Wenbin and Zhou Fangyuan, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother know very well that after so many years, they have actually regarded Fu Wenbin as their other son, and now as soon as Fu Wenbin says that he wants to get married, Zhou Fangyuan's parents are more anxious than the groom himself. Women are locals, family conditions can be said to be relatively poor, both parents have problems, and it is not a small problem, fortunately, the girl is very virtuous, and Fu Wenbin is rich now, and the medical expenses that are almost sky-high in the eyes of ordinary people are nothing in front of him.

In terms of the third brother's own relatives, as mentioned earlier, there is only one aunt and uncle left. The third brother originally had three children in the family, but the eldest brother died early, the second brother was killed in a car accident, and his parents rushed to the scene of the car accident, but there was also a car accident on the road...... In short, the third brother's life experience is not very good, his parents are gone early, and he was raised by his aunt and uncle, but his aunt and uncle are not good to him, he has gradually developed over the years, and his aunt and uncle have also asked him many times to repair the relationship, although there are some philistines, but after all, he is the third brother's blood relative, and after a few years, the third brother has gradually forgiven his aunt and uncle, and to be honest, his aunt and uncle are getting older, and they often repent of what they have done, the third brother does not say it, but Zhou Fangyuan knows that he has actually forgiven the other party in his heart。

The elders of both sides will be counted as this, and the wedding will be held smoothly!

With the progress of society and the continuous opening up of the motherland, some foreign cultures and customs have begun to enter the country. Especially in terms of weddings, Western-style weddings have begun to affect more and more young people, and as a result, some traditional customs and habits are slowly disappearing. For example, weddings in major marriage events are becoming simpler and simpler. In the city, weddings are now held in hotels, and the process is completely left to the master of ceremonies, and the bride and groom can complete some steps under the arrangement of the master of ceremonies. Traditional weddings don't stop there, and the third brother also intends to hold his own wedding according to the traditional old rites.

The wedding of the ancient Chinese was held at dusk, which is also the origin of the word "wedding (evening ceremony)". In some areas, this tradition may still be maintained. In the beginning, when people got married, there was a "six rites", which refers to the six etiquettes in the process from the proposal to the completion of marriage. Including Nacai, Asking for Names, Najib, Najib, Recruitment, Invitation, and Greeting. Nacai is the man's family invites the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to propose, and after the woman's family agrees to propose marriage, the man's family prepares a gift to propose. Asking for a name, that is, the man's family asks the matchmaker to ask the woman's name and date of birth. Najib, that is, after the man retrieves the woman's name and eight characters, he performs divination in the ancestral temple. Na Zheng, also known as Na Yuan, that is, the man's family gives the woman's family a dowry gift. The invitation date, the man's family chooses the marriage date, prepares the gift and informs the woman's family, and asks for her consent. A day or two before the wedding, the woman gives a dowry, makes the bed, and the groom goes to the woman's house to marry the next day. Once these processes are complete, the wedding is the time to do so. Although the statements in different regions are not consistent, they are basically carried out according to these links.

As for the third brother, with the help of the experts invited, he completed the steps according to the above rules one by one, although many things have actually been omitted, but compared to those weddings held casually in the hotel, the third brother is already full of sincerity.

A few days before the wedding, Zhou Fangyuan and they had already set up the marriage bed in the new house, laid the bedding and sheets on the marriage bed, and then spread the dragon and phoenix quilts, and sprinkled all kinds of happy fruits, such as peanuts, red dates, longan, lotus seeds, etc., and at the same time found a pair of boys and girls to roll around on the bed, which is called "rolling the bed", all of which means that the newlyweds give birth to a noble son early.

On the day of the wedding, early in the morning, a group of friends of the third brother ran out and pasted red paper all over the manhole covers and garbage cans, which meant to drive away filth and ward off evil spirits. In ancient times, there were those who walked and those who used cars, and it was more common to use an eight-person sedan chair to greet relatives. The person who carries the sedan chair must be physically strong, and when encountering someone else's sedan chair, he must not meet them, and must walk around. When you come back, you have to find another way back, which means that you will not go back. If you pass through temples, ancestral halls, tombs, wells, rivers and other places on the way, the person who marries the man must hold a red felt to cover the sedan chair to show "warding off evil spirits". If you meet a funeral procession on the way, the person who greets your relatives will say, "Today is auspicious, you have met treasure!" Because the homonym of the coffin is "viewing wealth", that is, the meaning of seeing treasures, this is mainly for the sake of good luck.

And this process, it has basically been all copied, the woman, was picked up early, and recently lived in a staff dormitory not far from the White Horse Mountain Manor, the distance can not be too far, too far, the sedan chair is not good. This distance is just right, although it is still a little far, but spend more money, give the sedan driver a lot of money, and let them suffer more.

When I got to the woman's house, there was a game of blocking the door, some of the woman's relatives and friends blocked behind the door, making various requests, or playing games, or singing, or expressing affection, or paying money, anyway, it was a trick, generally speaking, it was not too much, of course, there were also those who played too much, and there were also those who smashed the wedding directly. Fortunately, things gather people in groups, the third brother made up his mind to marry this time, and the wife is a very honest girl, and her friends and relatives are almost like this, so everyone is really playing games, and they must also want money, but it just means that they don't really follow this opportunity to make money.

And Zhou Fangyuan's gang is to help the third brother deal with these "difficulties", and at the same time find a way to "break the door", as long as the door is opened, even if it is just a small crack, it will be an instant to push the door open.

The New Year is not seen for the time being, Chinese weddings and Western weddings are still not the same, there are not so many games with the bride at the woman's house, as long as the door is pushed open, the woman will be covered with a hijab on the sedan chair.

The bride usually wears a three-foot-long square red scarf over her head, which is called a "gai", commonly known as a red hijab. It is usually the red hijab of the male and female lifting. There are generally two theories about the marriage custom of hijab: one is that the hijab is used to cover shame, while the other is that the marriage originated from ancient plunder, which means that the bride will never find her way back after wearing the hijab. In addition, the bride will hold a red umbrella above her head, which means "spreading the leaves". In addition to the clothes and accessories, the bride's dowry is mainly some things that symbolize good omen, such as: scissors, meaning Hu Butterfly Double Flying, vase, meaning flowers blooming and rich, shoes, meaning white-headed and old, ruler, meaning fertile land and so on. Of course, the customs and exquisiteness vary from place to place.

When the bride arrives at the groom's door, there is a "door-to-door" link. The "door" and "chapel" sessions are roughly equivalent to modern weddings.

Passing through the door means that the bride officially enters the door of the man's house after leaving the woman's house and meets her in-laws and other elders of the man's family. Therefore, when the woman enters the man's house, the in-laws will come out of the room and go to the hall to meet the newlyweds. Before entering the man's house, firecrackers are set off, and the saddle and burning brazier are crossed, which means that they will rise step by step, and they will be safe and prosperous. Then there is the chapel, also known as "worshipping heaven and earth", which is a very important ceremony in the wedding. After the "chapel", the woman officially becomes a member of the men's family.

When "worshipping the hall", the master of ceremonies presiding over the wedding will shout loudly: "One worship heaven and earth, two worship the high hall, husband and wife worship each other, and send them to the cave room." "In practice, the bride and groom will worship heaven and earth first, and then their ancestors. The newlyweds will offer tea to their in-laws and bow down. The in-laws will say some words of blessing and give jewelry and gifts to the bride. The bride is required to wear the ornament as a token of appreciation as soon as she receives it. The bride and groom will then serve tea to other elders and relatives. Generally, after these links, the bride enters the new house, and after the ancient bride enters the new house, the groom picks up the bride's red hijab with a scale, which means that the bride is satisfied, and then the two drink a glass of wine. Some areas immediately enter the link of haunted houses, and some areas are haunted by haunted houses at night.

One of the more important links after the wedding is to return to the door, also known as Guining. It refers to the third day after marriage, the bride, accompanied by her husband, returns to her parents' house with gifts to worship her ancestors, and then returns to her husband's house with her husband. Guining means to go back to your parents' home to report your safety. In ancient times, the so-called marriage was from the husband, and the woman may not have the opportunity to return to her mother's house after arriving at the husband's house. So returning to the door may be the last chance for a woman to set foot in her mother's home. Therefore, people attach great importance to the wedding custom of returning to the door. After returning to the door, the whole wedding ceremony is completed.

But returning to the door is another day, and I don't think about this issue on the day of marriage.

The last step of the whole process on the day of marriage is to make a hole in the room, but according to the rules of Beitong's side, the hole room is only made at night, so during the day, let go of the third brother for the time being.

At this point, the wedding is basically over.

But that's not all, otherwise wouldn't those celebrities or something be invited for nothing?

At the end of the Chinese-style part, in the cave room, after the third brother lifted the bride's hijab, everyone immediately shifted their positions.

The second half is Western-style content.

In fact, it's nothing, it's the last wedding ceremony at the Beiyuan Hotel next to the Municipal Party Committee compound.

This Beiyuan Hotel, it is not simple, at the beginning, this hotel was actually the location of the Municipal Party Committee Hotel, at that time it was still the most famous hotel in the city, but after so many years, gradually, there were more and more high-end hotels, and the status of Beiyuan Hotel began to decline. But, no matter how it falls, the heritage of Beiyuan Hotel is there after all, and even today, Beiyuan Hotel is still a must-go place for the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government to hold an important banquet, the interior decoration is low-key with luxury, the quality of the meals is quite high, well, the price is also high.

Among those invited stars, some people will give some performances, so a huge stage was built here in Beiyuan Hotel. There are also some celebrities who don't participate in the performance, so you can drink and eat below.

The emcee of the Western-style part, or the host, is the famous Xiao Cui. Xiao Cui is the number one host under Yang Ma, and a show that tells the truth has made him the hottest host in the country. It is not easy to invite him to be there, to be honest, is Xiao Cui short of money? No, if it is an ordinary event and wants to invite Xiao Cui to come, it is not easy, people's current identity is the number one general under Yang Ma, but they will not be bent by five buckets of rice casually. But the invitation of the Yuanfang Group is different, although it is the wedding of the third brother, but this time, the Yuanfang Group is making efforts. Including his manor at the foot of White Horse Mountain, it is also the building built by the Yuanfang Group to win the land, it can be said that the third brother has been with Zhou Fangyuan for so many years, and Zhou Fangyuan also reciprocated the favor and gave the third brother the grandest wedding.

There are no less than 50 celebrities from all walks of life, which is already worth a large-scale party. Among them, there are many superstars from across the Taiwan Strait and three places, and many faces that can only be seen on TV or the Internet, have appeared here, so to speak...... For the sake of the third brother, Zhou Fangyuan took face and money, the money is okay, in terms of face, even Brother Xiao Li's face has been used.

In addition, Brother Xiao Li and they also came, and some domestic business tycoons were also invited to attend the third brother's wedding.

In fact, speaking of which, this third brother's wedding, how to say it, is equivalent to a rehearsal.

With the improvement of status, with the continuous increase of money, Zhou Fangyuan's status in China is also rising, his current private life is relatively chaotic, but it is difficult to say how long this situation will last, as a more traditional Chinese, he will always get married one day. When Zhou Fangyuan gets married, the situation will only be more exaggerated than now, and now it is equivalent to a rehearsal of Zhou Fangyuan's wedding, and it is also a fight for face for the third brother, so Zhou Fangyuan spent a lot of effort and invited all kinds of people to come, just these celebrities and bigwigs, they made a full ten tables.

and the leaders on the ground were also invited to the wedding.

In fact, there is a very realistic reason for this, that is, the Beiyuan Hotel has a large enough hall to accommodate up to 100 tables of people to dine, and if there is a demand, the wall between the surrounding halls can also be moved, and it can accommodate more than 200 tables at most. This is already quite unbelievable, the family members and friends of both sides are full of twenty tables and killed, and the remaining nearly eighty tables are basically all guests invited by Qing.

When Xiao Cui appeared on the stage in a suit, there was warm applause below, and when the third brother and his wife appeared, everyone knew very well what kind of treatment should be given to the main master, and the applause and cheers could almost lift the roof.

The third brother was very excited, really, thinking that a few years ago, he was still a little ruffian, a little gangster, not even a gangster, at that time, he was not a character, in the eyes of some people, it is hard to say whether he can be regarded as a person, as a result, because of Zhou Fangyuan's invitation, a few years have passed, and now he can actually get the blessings of so many people, looking at the heads of people below, the third brother was excited in his heart, and couldn't help but have some red eyes.
