Chapter 452: A Cup of Wine (Thanks to Runde for the Reward)
After a long day of tedious wedding ceremonies and wedding receptions, the exhausted newlyweds want to be quiet and soak up their newlywed joy in their nests.
However, they are also subject to the customs of the haunted house.
On candle nights, people break into the cave house or make a fuss outside the cave house, so that the newlyweds cannot sleep peacefully.
It is said that the custom of the haunted house has a certain significance.
In the past, the meaning of the cave house was because at that time it was all a combination of "the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker".
The bride and groom met for the first time in the cave room, and through all kinds of laughter and amusement of the people in the room, the couple who had just met were shy, and happily started a new family life, so that the bride immediately adapted to this strange family, and at the same time lost the fear and anxiety of the wedding night.
The navy and Gu Fanxin have grown up as childhood sweethearts, and of course there is no fear and anxiety of unfamiliar strangers suddenly becoming a couple.
Their relationship until now, only the feeling of ripening and falling into a natural situation.
Although it is said that Gu Fanxin and Comrade Navy have both practiced martial arts, and their physical strength and energy are not exhausted, but for them, it has been a day of trouble, and now they really want to stay where to be quiet.
But I didn't expect that when the villagers who drank the wine withdrew from the banquet and the two people who were already smiling and their faces were stiff wanted to be alone, Grandma Quanfu, who was smiling, followed them into the new house with a smile.
In the corridor, the little daughter-in-law Niu Li smiled and walked towards the new house with a plate of half-baked vegetarian dumplings.
This is another custom of marriage.
First, the mother-in-law's family cooked half-cooked dumplings, deliberately let the bride eat half-cooked dumplings, and then Grandma Quanfu asked the bride seriously: "Are you born?"
Generally, the bride answers with one word: "Raw." ”
The dumplings were brought over, and under the eager gaze of everyone, Grandma Quanfu asked her to eat another dumpling.
Looking at the dumplings in front of him that even turned white and did not change color, Gu Fanxin was a little puzzled.
After thinking about it, I still took it, I guess it might be a ceremony.
Unexpectedly, after Gu Fanxin ate a dumpling with great affection, when Grandma Quanfu asked her if she was raw, she actually answered that she was not familiar.
When she heard that a group of daughters-in-law and aunts around her couldn't help but laugh, she knew that she might have made a joke.
Poor baby, she really doesn't know these things.
This is generally experienced before, as the mother of the person who came over, she personally dictated her daughter, and the Quanfu grandmother invited by Liu Lanzhi thought that Xu Zhaodi, as a mother, had already told her, so she didn't give her a hint of this stubble.
The comrades in the navy saw Gu Fanxin's nervousness, so they quietly approached her, suggesting that she should not be nervous.
The comrades in the Navy felt that they were derelict in their duties. He didn't know these things, and if he knew to tell Niu Niu in advance, she wouldn't be embarrassed.
Feeling the guilt of Brother Hai, Gu Fanxin smiled back to reassure him.
In front of everyone's eyes, Grandma Quanfu asked her to continue to eat another one, and asked seriously: "Is it alive?"
Dabao's daughter-in-law, Niu Li, quietly approached the bride Gu Fanxin, and told her that as long as she answered the word "raw", she didn't need to eat raw dumplings!
Gu Fan smiled at her gratefully. It can be seen that this brother and daughter-in-law are very good.
So when Grandma Quanfu asked again, she simply agreed to one: "Raw!"
Everyone smiled with satisfaction, and Grandma Quanfu also removed the plate. It was finally completed, and Gu Fanxin himself also felt relieved.
Comrade Navy also quietly hugged her waist as a sign of encouragement. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and everything was silent.
Zhang Minyi and Comrade One Piece took photos of these interesting pictures at the door.
The two of them also discussed, and when they went back, they would help each other, take out their own pictures on the buckle, and the two of them would share them together and then print them out.
In this way, both of them have a complete record and will not miss any pictures. You can then get two sets of commemorative books.
These are all beautiful records! Each one of them is very precious and memorable!
In the long run, I can keep these things for my grandchildren in the future!
"Hurry up, they're going to have another drink!"
Next, it's time for Grandma Quanfu to continue the 'combined wine' ceremony.
'Hehuan wine' refers to the newlyweds drinking 'Hehuan wine' also known as 'handover wine' in the cave room, symbolizing that the husband and wife will be happy forever. In the past, people mostly understood the meaning of union as unity and dignity, harmony and equality between husband and wife.
Drinking a glass of wine is also one of the repertoire of the wedding, where the bride and groom each take a glass full of wine, interlace their arms with each other, and drink the wine at the same time, and the whole wedding boils.
In ancient times, the cup was called "Heyi", which began in the Zhou Dynasty. It is a kind of gourd, which is said to have a bitter taste and is inedible, so it is commonly known as a bitter gourd.
The union is to cut a piece in half, and connect the handle with a thread, and the bride and groom each drink a piece, symbolizing marriage to connect the two into one.
It is said that the wine in the wine is unusually bitter, but the newlyweds are a sweet thing, so why drink bitter wine? It is said to have several meanings.
First, the husband and wife drank the bitter wine, which symbolized that the two would share weal and woe in the future.
Second, it means that the husband and wife will be like one in the future, tightly tied together, and become one.
Third, because it is one of the ancient musical instruments, "He" also means that the bride and groom will be in harmony after marriage, and the harmony will be forever.
Although in modern weddings, people no longer use bitter wine to serve wine, but the two cups of wine connected by colored threads still retain the meaning of "husband and wife become one".
Among the man's relatives or the people in the village, a middle-aged woman with both children and good fortune is selected to preside.
Pour two cups of Huadiao wine, give each newlyweds a sip, and then mix the two cups of wine, and divide them into two cups, take the meaning of "I have you, you have me", let the bride and groom drink it, and sprinkle a lot of candy outside the door, so that the crowd of onlookers outside competes.
After a series of rituals, the newlyweds can begin their sweet and painful first wedding night and then carry on the lineage.
This is the end of the wedding process.
The people in the haunted cave room tossed and turned until more than nine o'clock in the evening, and the people in the haunted cave room left unsatisfied.
The comrades in the navy came out again to seriously investigate, and when they made sure that there was no one peeping outside, they closed the door and came in.
After washing, the two lay side by side. The Navy turned sideways and put a free hand around his little wife tightly.
"Dear Niuniu, at this moment, I want to selfishly ask for my greatest happiness. Will you give it to me?"
