306 sedan chair is coming, and the bride gets on the sedan chair

The auspicious time has arrived!

After noon, it is an auspicious time for the bride to get on the sedan chair.

The Xi Fang was busy boiling the pot, and Xi Po dispersed the people in the room to both sides, covered Liu Ginkgo with a red hijab, and carried the bride out of the door.

Ma didn't eat at noon, so he sat in the room and stayed with his daughter. The two of them talked about crying and crying, and they were already crying at this time.

Li Banxia also sat next to him and talked to the bride. Speaking of emotion, seeing my sister-in-law getting married, my sister-in-law didn't know how many times a year they met, and they were a little choked.

In ancient times, when a girl got married, the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried, Li Banxia still felt that this was very strange at the beginning, why did she cry when it was a good thing? But thinking of ancient folk customs, which are very different from modern times, a married daughter is equal to spilling water, marrying a husband, what happens to the daughter in her husband's family in the future, and how she lives is not something that her mother's family can worry about.

In addition, the transportation in ancient times was inconvenient, the mountains were high and the rivers were long, and it was not suitable for women to go out, and they had to inform their mother-in-law again and again when they returned to their parents' home, and it was not easy for mother and daughter to see each other. It's no wonder it's so hard to give up.

However, the matter of a daughter crying and marrying can really be traced back, as if it was left over from ancient women's resistance to relatives and snatching relatives. Over the years, the meaning has slowly changed.

The sedan chair has arrived in front of the door, according to the custom of Dayang Village, the daughter is carried on the sedan chair by her father and brother before getting on the sedan chair. Before this, the married girl had to drench the flower dew and cross the brazier, which means to wash away the dust and bad luck from the bride's body, and go to her mother-in-law's house clean and innocent, so as not to bring any bad luck to her husband's house and cause trouble for her husband's family.

Liu Ginkgo lowered her head, and saw the charcoal pot burning with flames under the red hijab, and smiled a little sarcastically and bitterly.

The plum blossoms, narcissus and azalea dew that had been soaked in the morning were a few drops on Liu Ginkgo's body, and when the matter was over, Liu Ginkgo stepped over the brazier and walked outside the house.

Liu Shenjiang is old. I'm afraid it's a little hard to carry my daughter, and Liu Dongshan has inconvenient legs and feet, so Liu Xishan has to do this.

Liu Xishan was festive today, wearing a new dress, and his original mood was still a little depressed, but it was swept away with the arrival of Li Banxia. Now he regained his cheerful temperament, and drank a few more drinks at noon, but now he even spoke with a big tongue.

Ma asked someone to twist a cold handkerchief for Liu Xishan, let him wipe his face, and get drunk. Don't drop his sister off his back.

The sound of firecrackers has been crackling, and after greeting relatives "three invitations" and "four clears", I saw Liu Ginkgo, the bride wearing a xia cloak, wearing a phoenix crown, and covering a big red scarf. was carried out by her second brother Liu Xishan.

Before getting on the sedan chair, Ma fed a mouthful of "sedan chair rice" into Liu Ginkgo's mouth, which means not forgetting the grace of nurturing. Then the mother and daughter cried loudly again, and there was a slang saying: "My mother's family is crying loudly, and my mother-in-law's family is rising." ”

Liu Xishan carried Liu Ginkgo on his back and got on the sedan chair. The sedan chair was surrounded by people. In addition to the guests and friends on the Liu family's side, there is also the Zhao family's welcoming team.

In Dayang Village, the groom's brother-in-law or matchmaker takes someone to the bride's house to marry, and the groom sits and waits at home.

The person sent by the Zhao family to greet his relatives was Zhao Qingshan, Zhao Dushan's younger brother. Zhao Chenzong called him uncle, Zhao Qingshan's status in the Zhao family was second only to Zhao Dushan, and he had also laid a lot of foundation. Today, he came to welcome his relatives, and it can also be seen that the head of the Zhao family attaches great importance to this family affair and shows sincerity to the Liu family.

Zhao Qingshan is a middle-aged man in his forties, several years younger than Zhao Dushan, and he looks very young. With a stiff body and straight bones, it can be vaguely seen that he must have been a very handsome man when he was young.

Zhao Qingshan is very kind. There is also a bit of elegance. I heard the old man of the Zhao family say that his younger brother not only practiced martial arts, but also learned very well. It looks like a dashing and well-educated person.

stepped forward to greet the second elder of the Liu family for a few words, and assured him once again that the Zhao family would not treat their daughter badly, and Chenzong would also treat Ginkgo biloba and the like. Ma and Liu Shenjiang also solemnly entrusted their daughters to their Zhao family, imploring them to take good care of her and not wronging her.

Zhao Qingshan met the rest of the Liu family one by one before returning to the sedan chair.

After Liu Ginkgo got on the sedan chair, she sat down in the sedan chair. Under the seat in the sedan chair, there is a copper fire (pronounced the same as "zong"), which burns charcoal fire and velvet incense. There are two young people in the sedan chair, waiting for the sedan chair to rise and slowly move forward with the sedan chair, weighing the sedan chair.

The sedan chair is about to arrive, and the groom's family arranges for someone to go to receive it. When they meet, the man presents pastries to the woman as a sign of respect. At this time, the sedan chair presser lit a bag of cigarettes from the fire and sucked back one by one, saying "receiving incense".

Li Banxia has been in the past six months for more than half a year, and he has also seen men in the village marry, and he knows a little about these customs. When I saw it for the first time, I was like a curious baby, but if there was anything I didn't understand, I grabbed Liu Dongshan's sleeve and asked. Although Liu Dongshan was surprised that she didn't know anything about these things, he still patiently explained them to her one by one.

The so-called following the customs of the locals, even though Li Banxia has something difficult to understand about these customs, he will not scoff at them. Even some of these unreasonable things can only be accepted calmly.

Not only the woman, but also the man has to follow many local customs when marrying. If you think about it this way, your mind will be balanced.

The day before the wedding, the man set up a banquet to thank the matchmaker and distributed sweet soup fruits to the neighbors. In the evening, the groom is accompanied to sleep by a "langtou" (also known as a shilang, referring to an unmarried boy). On the day of greeting relatives, "Wangniangpan" took the lead. There must be a goose in Wangniangpan, and the goose edge was formally proposed to the woman in ancient times with a goose, because the spouse of the goose is dedicated for life. It symbolizes the steadfastness and harmony of marriage, and the future generations will replace the goose with the goose.

Zhao Chenzong is a well-known gentleman, and he doesn't like to stick to the rules the most, and he is afraid of the constraints of some rules and regulations. I'm afraid that with his nature, he is not willing to do any of these things.

In a burst of cheers and uproar, the sedan chair was raised, and the crackling sound of firecrackers resounded in every corner of Dayang Village.

Ma chased the sedan chair, crying so much that his voice was hoarse, Liu Shenjiang and Li Banxia grabbed Ma's and watched the sedan chair go farther and farther.

The people who send their relatives here have also been determined in advance. Ma Guigui is Ginkgo's uncle, and Liu Ginseng is Ginkgo's uncle. The elder who sends off the relatives is an important role, and he represents the authority and decency of the bride's family. The woman is particular about who to choose to send her relatives, and under normal circumstances, the woman's direct uncle is responsible. I really don't have a direct uncle, so I look for the closest and closest elder.

The Liu family was very cautious, and they didn't want to lose face in the Zhao family, so after thinking about it several times, they finalized Zhao ginseng and Ma Guigui.
