May 12th, today is the day of Xiao'er's engagement.

There is such a custom in Yangping County, men and women are engaged first, pass the bride price, and then get married, but now it is simpler than before, now as long as the parents of both sides agree to the agreement, you can set the kiss and pass the bride price two steps and make a step.

Generally, the man's parents will find a fortune teller, and choose an auspicious day to pass the bride price, and the content of the bride price prepared by the man's family is:

Two copies of the "Engagement Letter", the "Engagement Letter" states the betrothed, the witnesses, the names of the parents of the man and the woman, the date of birth of the man and the woman, the date of birth, the signature of the parents of the man and the woman, the date of the engagement, etc., so that on the day of the engagement, the woman leaves one copy and the man leaves one copy, which is called one copy for the man and the woman.

The items are: two red dates, two chestnuts, meaning early standing, ten circles of red thread, a needle at each end of the red line, a pack of hair primers, a bag of salt, meaning the meaning of perfect and perfect marriage and a thousand miles of marriage, both men and women give a belt, meaning a belt (that is, children).

The most important thing is that the man prepares the money to the woman, as for the amount of money depends on the man's economic strength, if the economic strength is strong, you can give more, if the economic strength is not strong, you can give less.

Of course, it also depends on the opinions of the woman's parents, some of the woman's parents are unreasonable, and the sky-high price is also pens.

Due to the question of the amount of the bride price, there are not a few parents of both men and women who quarrel, and many men and women are also unable to marry because of the amount of the bride price.

As for the woman, after receiving the man's things from the matchmaker, she first filled out the "Engagement Book", and then prepared a copy of the gifts sent by the man to give back to the man.

For the money sent by the man, a certain amount must be returned, and the amount of the return depends on the woman's situation, some give back 10,000, some give back 8,000, some give back 6,000, of course, some don't want a point, all the money is given back to the man, and it is reserved for the man to buy a house and get married, which depends on the woman's parents.

In other places, Ye Rongrong didn't know that in Ye Rongrong's hometown, it would not work if this bride price was not returned, even if you gave back a few hundred, but it would be gossiped about, if you didn't give back a cent, the man's parents would not agree, and the marriage would not be engaged.

The engagement banquet is set up on both sides, and the woman also has to set up several tables of banquets, invite the new aunt and the matchmaker, and at the same time will give the matchmaker a big red envelope, which is his hard work.

After all, before the marriage banquet between the man and the woman, the parents of both the man and the woman communicate with the parents of the other party through the guò matchmaker, and if there is any dissatisfaction or any request, they are all communicated through the matchmaker, and the parents of the man and woman rarely communicate directly.

Therefore, it is very important for matchmakers in rural areas, and generally matchmakers have to have children with the woman married by the man to end a marriage, and before that, the matchmaker still has to coordinate the problems of both men and women.

Of course, this is only a ceremony at the woman's house, and the man's family also has a ceremony, but the engagement ceremony at the man's house should be placed behind the woman's ceremony.

Generally, the woman holds a banquet at noon, and the man holds a banquet at night.

The engagement ceremony of the man's family is relatively simple, not so much, so complicated the ceremony, is to hold a few tables of wine, invite some of the man's relatives, friends, and classmates to drink, of course, this matchmaker still has to be invited, and the man also wants to give a big red envelope to the matchmaker to express his gratitude.

After the man's engagement wine is drunk, it means that the engagement ceremony is completed, and the man and woman are already husband and wife in the future, and they can live together without scruples.

In the eyes of rural people, the engagement ceremony is more symbolic than going to the government ~ government department to receive the "red book", you did not hold an engagement, wedding banquet, you are receiving the "red book", on behalf of the man and woman sleeping together is legal, people in the countryside will not recognize the relationship between men and women, and there will be a lot of rumors in the countryside.

Yesterday, Xiao Shi'er's mother looked for Ye Rongrong and wanted to ask Ye Rongrong to accompany Xiao Shi'er to the woman for the bride price, this is a continuation of the old tradition, when the man and woman were engaged in the past, the man had to have someone to carry the burden, and the burden was filled with the objects of the engagement.

The people who carry the burden are all the contemporaries of the engaged young man, and they are generally brothers, cousins, cousins, and Ming brothers (that is, very good friends who have grown up together) to carry the burden.

In the past, the countryside was poor, and people did not have private cars, so it was very hard for the people to carry the burden, all the way from the man's house to the woman's house.

But now that the economy is developed, many people have private cars, and they drive the car directly to the woman's house, and then they take the burden to the woman's house, without a few steps, and they can get two big red envelopes, and many people are still very willing to do it.

There are a lot of brothers in Xiao Shi'er's family, but as soon as Xiao Shi'er's parents put it together, they asked Ye Rongrong to be the one who carried the burden, mainly because Ye Rongrong is now a celebrity in the nearby towns and is very prestigious.

Ye Rongrong accompanied Xiao Xian'er to the woman's house, with face, he could also suppress the scene, so that the woman's family did not dare to underestimate their side.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Ye Rongrong drove an Audi Q7 to Xiaoshier's house, and today he was going to drive an Audi Q7 to the woman's house to give a dowry.

In Yangping County, whether people are engaged or married, they have a good face, and the better you drive to the woman's house, the more face the woman's family feels.

The woman's family is not afraid of the man's family showing off, but afraid that the man's family will not show off.

As for whether the car is the man's own, the woman doesn't mind very much, since they have agreed to get engaged, it is to accept the man's family situation.

"Glory, I've worked hard for you today. ”

As soon as Ye Rongrong got out of the car, Xiao Yan'er's mother came over and said to Ye Rongrong.

"Auntie, you are too polite, Xiao Shi'er is engaged today, this is a good thing, you let me accompany Xiao Shi'er over, I have a big red envelope to take, I want to thank you." ”

Ye Rongrong said with a smile.

"When I come back, my aunt will definitely give you a big red envelope. ”

Xiao'er's mother smiled.

"Brother Glory, you're here. ”

Hearing Ye Rongrong's voice, Xiao Xian'er came out of the house and said to Ye Rongrong.

"Xiao Xian'er is dressed well today, very handsome. ”

Ye Rongrong glanced at Xiao Yan in a black suit and said. This is the first time Ye Rongrong has seen Xiao Xian'er wearing a suit, and he thinks it's very good and handsome.

"Really, I've always felt a little unaccustomed. ”

Xiao Xian'er said. On weekdays, Xiao Xian'er basically doesn't wear suits, but when he wears a suit at this time, he always feels that something is wrong.

"I'm getting used to it, when I first got married, I wasn't used to wearing a suit like you, but now it's much better. ”

Ye Rongrong said. Before getting married, Ye Rongrong never wore a suit, but after getting married, he slowly got used to wearing a suit.

"Glory is coming, thank you for your hard work today. ”

Xiao Yan'er's father also came out of the house at this time and said to Ye Rongrong.

"Uncle, don't be polite to me, when can you leave?"

Ye Rongrong asked. After all, it's nine o'clock now, and this engagement should go to the woman's house as soon as possible, after all, many of the woman's relatives have not seen this new aunt, so there must be a lot to ask.

"It's almost time to go now. Xiao Yan'er's mother said.

Several people worked together to quickly put all the bride price in the trunk of the Audi Q7, and of course some of them could not be put down, so they were placed in the back seat.

"Glory, you help your aunt pay attention, the longevity noodles with the red bag on the basket, and the bride price money are all in the red envelope inside. ”

After all the things were loaded into the car, Xiao Yan'er's mother secretly pulled Ye Rongrong aside and whispered. After all, the bride price of seventy or eighty thousand yuan is in it, so don't worry.

"Okay, I'll take notice. Ye Rongrong nodded and said.

The bride price for this engagement is basically given on the day of the engagement, and it is given by the matchmaker when she brings her new aunt to the door for the first time, and she is placed in a red bag in the longevity noodles.

When people give gifts in this area of Minzhou, they always like to bring longevity noodles, because longevity noodles are very long, which means longevity in people's eyes.

This birthday gift means a long life, and this engagement birthday noodles means a long marriage in the future.

"Auntie, don't worry, I know. ”

Ye Rongrong said. After all, you really have to be careful about this money, it is really not easy for the elderly to save this money for half their lives, and even some of them are borrowed from others.

"With you by my side, I'm relieved. ”

Xiao Shi'er's mother said. Who would have thought that Ye Rongrong, who was despised by the villagers, would now become one of the few figures in the village.

……

The woman's home is located in the northwest corner of the town, and it takes about ten minutes to drive there, after all, it is driving on the provincial road, which is not fast if you want to.

"Your name is Ye Rongrong, this car is yours?"

Aunt Wang, the matchmaker sitting in the back seat, looked at Ye Rongrong curiously and asked. As a well-known matchmaker in the town, Aunt Wang is not an old woman with no knowledge, and she can still understand luxury cars.

Aunt Wang knows that even in the county, there are few big bosses who can drive such an expensive luxury car.

In the eyes of the matchmaker Aunt Wang, this Ye Glory is definitely a powerful stock, and it is worth learning more about it.

You must know why you do the best in so many peers, she is the most famous matchmaker in the whole town, in the final analysis, she is still her usual efforts, often go to the homes of those marriageable young men and women, care about their marriages, understand their needs, and designate suitable blind dates.

has been a matchmaker for more than ten years, and Aunt Wang knows very well that basically women want to marry rich men, who are older, maybe divorced, and if the family is very good, there are also many girls who are willing to marry.

More importantly, this rich family, as long as this family affair is successful, this red envelope will definitely not be small, so as a matchmaker, my favorite thing is to be a matchmaker for rich people.
