The courtyard is very large, there are thousands of tables set up, cold dishes have been placed on it, and then the dried fruit saucer is collected, ready to be served, at this time, according to the rules of Zhang Tianyuan's hometown, the bride and groom are going to toast each guest, and then when toasting, the person who is respected, naturally has to take out a red envelope to a pair of newlyweds, how much you can weigh yourself, this will not be registered.
However, because there are too many people, I finally discussed with the guests, as long as you respect the elders, you can respect the closer ones, and the rest of the people can be saluted together, as for the red envelopes, it is not necessary.
You must know that a table is at least a dozen people, thousands of tables, that is tens of thousands of people, let this couple toast one by one, even if you are tired, it is estimated that it is enough to choke.
At this time, the venue used for the worship hall has not been removed, and it can be seen that the words of blessing written by Master Yuanbo himself have been framed and hung there.
Although Master Yuanbo didn't come, he also asked his disciple Zhang Rusheng to bring gifts, that's it, this old man, although he and Zhang Tianyuan are only one side, but they have become almost irreversible friends.
Hearing Zhang Rusheng say that the old gentleman originally planned to come, but because he had to undergo a physical examination in the hospital, he couldn't come, Zhang Tianyuan naturally wouldn't blame him, the old gentleman himself is very old, if he still has to let the old gentleman come to congratulate him, it will be a bit too much.
Zhang Tianyuan held the wine jug, and Liu Mengxun held the wine glass. began to toast the elders one by one, which was basically based on seniority. So Zhang Tianyuan's grandmother became the first.
The old lady drinks a lot of wine, and likes to have a drink on weekdays. Seeing that his grandson got married today, he was naturally overjoyed, took out a red envelope and handed it to Liu Mengxun, and then said with a smile: "Yuan, let grandma hug her great-grandson as soon as possible." โ
Zhang Tianyuan smiled awkwardly, he knew that his grandmother would say this, but this is also human nature, the old man probably knows that he is old, and he may not be able to see the day his great-grandson is born. So I was a little anxious.
After toasting grandma, it was the old man Nie, although he was just a godfather, but after all, the seniority was there, and he happened to be sitting at his grandmother's table, the calculation was convenient, so it should be his turn to be an old man.
"Grandpa Nie!" Liu Mengxun called sweetly, and then sent the wine glass to Old Man Nie.
"Grandpa, don't drink. I'll do it for you. Nie Zhen was also sitting at this table, he was forcibly dragged over by Old Man Nie, don't look at his usual swagger, but his concern for Old Man Nie is not fake. The old man beat him a lot, but he also knew that if there was no supervision from the old man. I'm afraid that he won't have today's achievements, maybe like many cheaters. Embarked on a road of no return.
However, Old Man Nie didn't accept this at this time, and waved his hand and said, "How can this work." Can you drink for me, and can you still be this godfather for me? This is the wine that Tian Yuan and Xiaoliu toasted me, so naturally I came to drink it!"
After that, Old Man Nie didn't blink, and drank the glass of wine, in fact, this wine is monkey wine, Zhang Tianyuan specially asked the factory to send it, not only strong enough, but also has no harm to the body, it belongs to the highest grade of the monkey winery, it is extremely expensive, so it is only used for toasting, and the ones drunk on the table are ordinary monkey wine, which cannot be compared with this.
After drinking, Old Man Nie returned the wine glass to Liu Mengxun, and then took out the red envelope that had been prepared a long time ago and handed it over: "Come, take it, I wish you two young people can be kind and loving, and grow old together, this is my old man's greatest wish." โ
After that, Zhang Tianyuan and Liu Mengxun toasted their parents, seven aunts and eight aunts, and naturally Dong Lao and Li Lao were indispensable, but after a circle, it was really tiring, but fortunately, after the toast, there was nothing to do for the time being, and the two of them were also arranged to eat together at the table.
Although few of Zhang Tianyuan's relatives are rich and can't give too expensive gifts, Zhang Tianyuan didn't leak them, otherwise if this matter was to be spread, then his reputation of "disliking the poor and loving the rich" would definitely be betrayed.
A person who does business still needs at least a reputation.
What's more, although the relationship between their family and their relatives is not particularly good, but it is not bad, they have to walk with each other during the New Year's holidays on weekdays, and now that you have money, you don't recognize poor relatives, what is this?
To be honest, Zhang Tianyuan really can't do that kind of thing.
"You two have worshiped heaven and earth, and now you are a real husband and wife, but do you know what this worship of heaven and earth means?" When eating vegetables, he was bored, and Old Man Nie asked this question with a smile.
"Of course, I know this, in the old days, when weddings were held, the bride and groom worshiped their ancestors, the man's parents, and the elders after visiting heaven and earth. There are also worships on heaven and earth, ancestors, parents and husband and wife, all of whom are collectively referred to as worship halls. In the Tang Dynasty, the newlywed woman saw her aunt, commonly known as the worship hall. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the wedding day first worship the family temple, the joint ceremony, the next day five watches, with a table, the mirror on the mirror, look at the worship, called the bride to worship. "After all, Zhang Tianyuan studied archaeology, and he still has a lot of research on this.
"No, no, no, that's not right. Zhang Tianyuan's grandmother suddenly waved her hand and said: "You said that I don't understand there, in fact, according to legend, when Nuwa created people, she only created a handsome offspring at the beginning. That's why I often sigh. โ
When Zhang Tianyuan heard it, this old lady likes to listen to stories on weekdays, but it is time to eat vegetables and chat, and it doesn't hurt to listen to a story, so he stretched out his ears to listen, after all, he really doesn't know much about this matter.
The old lady continued: "One evening, when the moon was full, and the light hung in the sky, the young man felt more lonely, and said to the moon, 'Listen carefully, old moon, old moon. Find me a confidant, and I will receive your affection for generations to come!' Just finished speaking. The moon flickered, and an old man with white eyebrows and a long beard came to the young man with a dragon-headed cane. Say: 'Don't worry about the next life, I'll find you a little helper'. After saying that, there was a gust of wind, and the long-bearded old man was gone. โ
The lad wondered. After an hour, the old man with a long beard led a girl to the young man and said to the young man, 'I went to Nuwa and asked her to make another woman and bring it to you.' You get to know each other first, and I'll do a happy event for you later. 'A flicker. The old man is gone. โ
When the young man saw that the girl's cheeks were crimson like the flowers of the moon, he was overjoyed, and when the girl saw that the young man's eyes were bright, and he was honest and frank, she also felt that she was in love. The two looked at each other and fell in love at first sight. The young man stammered, 'Will you live with me?' When the girl heard this, two red clouds flew over her face, and she said, 'Yes.' โโฆโฆโ
"'Ha-ha-ha!' Just then, there was a burst of laughter. The long-bearded old man led two white-haired and white-bearded old men to stand in front of the young man and the girl, pointed to the two old men, and said, 'This is the heaven and the land, and you will be inseparable from them for the rest of your life.' Now we're going to do a happy event for you, first of all. Bow three times to the Lord and the land that raised you, 'one, two, and three.'' With the shouting of the old man under the moon, the young man and the girl bowed to heaven and earth three times. Subsequently. The old man under the moon smiled and said, "I will show you the red thread, and you have to give me a goodbye." ''One prostration, two prostrations, three prostrations.'' The young man and the girl bowed three more times to the old man under the moon. Just finished worshipping. The three old men were all gone. โ
From then on, the young man got up early every day and went dark. Working in the fields, the girl cooked for the young man at home, sewing the new and washing the old, and the two loved each other and lived a happy life. โ
"In order to thank the heavens and earth for their nurturing grace, and to thank the old man under the moon for his affection, from now on, when getting married, you must: worship heaven and earth, worship the old man under the moon, and worship your parents three times. The custom of 'worshipping heaven and earth' was formed. โ
"Tian Yuan, what you said is really not good, it's too rigid, how good it is to listen to grandma. After listening to the story told by the old lady, Liu Mengxun may have thought of his relationship with Zhang Tianyuan, and couldn't help but have two red clouds floating on his face, extremely shy.
"That's how old my grandmother has lived, how old have I lived, that's incomparable. Zhang Tianyuan said with a smile.
When everyone heard this, they also burst into laughter.
Although tired, but this banquet is also lively, but as long as there is no problem, it is estimated that the next time there is really a banquet, it should be for the child to spend 20 days, this is the custom of their hometown, 20 days is to have a big one, even if he is not happy, it will not work, he can't pass the old man at home.
After the banquet, most of the guests left, and only those who were closer to each other and far away from home continued to stay and prepared to leave tomorrow.
Yang Yaoshan was in a hurry to return to Myanmar to deal with the mine, so he quietly took the four tiger skins he brought from Myanmar into the house, and called Old Man Nie, Zhang Tianyuan's grandmother and parents together, planning to give this gift.
After all, this thing is more sensitive, he doesn't want to be in front of too many people, but there is no way, there are still Nie Zhen, Wang Siyuan and others in this room, he glanced at Zhang Tianyuan, confirmed that these people are all right, and then said respectfully: "Old General Nie! Old lady! and aunt and uncle, I received Tianyuan's great favor from Myanmar, so I prepared gifts for the four of you." โ
"Oh, who are you?" asked the old lady, puzzled.
"Grandma, this is my eldest brother Yang, from Myanmar, the last time I went to Myanmar, I also stayed at his house. Zhang Tianyuan explained.
"Oh, the people of the Yang family in Myanmar, I do know, I still remember when I went to Myanmar to visit Wรจn, I saw an old man of your Yang family, it should be your grandfather, right?" Old man Nie touched his head, although his memory is not very good, but for those special things that he remembers more deeply, it is still difficult to forget.
And just before the wedding, Zhang Tianyuan also led Old Man Liu, Yang Yaoshan, Hu Qiyi, Hu Liuyi, Wu Qiling and others to visit Old Man Nie, which is even more unforgettable.
"Old General Nie, you have a really good memory, that's right, when you went to Myanmar to visit Wรจn, you met my grandfather, but his old man has been dead for a long time, and he is not as strong as you. We don't have any special products in Myanmar, except for jadeite is the fur of those animals, jadeite I think Brother Zhang has is, I don't need me to send it, I specially brought four skins, you see, they are all the best goods!"
Yang Yaoshan's gift at this time was also arranged by Zhang Tianyuan, after all, Old Man Nie was very busy, if he didn't seize this opportunity, he might not be able to see anyone tomorrow.
