The Family Affairs of the Willow Vine (10)
Xiao Wanquan glanced at Zhang, originally he still had a little doubt in his heart, but now it seems that everything Liu Tiandong said to him is true.
"Brother and sister, we old guys have no other meaning to come to your house today. It's just that I heard that the vine girl hit the wall without knowing why, and we thought that this was a big deal, and we couldn't ignore it like that. That's why I came uninvited. Xiao Wanquan didn't say that Liu Tiandong went to find them, which can be regarded as Xiao Wanquan's meaning of protecting Liu Tiandong in front of the Jiang family.
Jiang smiled and said, "Li Zheng, what are you talking about, it's a blessing for us to come over from a village, but it's not a big deal, and you really don't need to come here." ”
Xiao Wanquan laughed, "What my brother and sister said is not right, I think I had the same relationship as your old Liu back then, although he is no longer there, but I should take care of my nephew as an uncle, otherwise I am afraid that Lao Liutou will jump up and make trouble for me." Xiao Wanquan's words are very interesting, in fact, the relationship between Liu Baojiang and Xiao Wanquan was just an ordinary neighborhood relationship, but Xiao Wanquan is naturally impossible to say that Xiao Wanquan is wrong when he says this now.
Jiang could only smile and say, "Who said it wasn't, but we are still little girls, so you shouldn't come to see her in person." ”
Before Xiao Wanquan could say anything, Zhang Jingyuan on the side said: "Sister-in-law, what you said is not right, I heard that you have set a good family affair for the mangirl." ”
Jiang was stunned for a moment, this marriage for the man girl was only announced at home last night, and these people knew it so quickly. It seems that this marriage of the vine girl will definitely be hindered.
But since Zhang Jingyuan talked about this matter, he naturally wouldn't let it go so easily. "I don't know, sister-in-law, which kid is the boy for the mangirl.?"
"It's not a big family, it's my eldest daughter-in-law's distant relative's boy, and it's because of my wit that I thought about setting it for my man, but it's not a sure thing." After thinking about it, Jiang still didn't finish his words.
Li Quanyong nodded on the side, "My brother and sister can't do this, and this family is not the biggest, how can you do this?" What will I do after this is going to let the branch girl and the round girl? You can't have a niece and sister marry first. Li Quanyong is talking about the common sense of the Zhuanghu people, since ancient times, the elders have been in front, and no one has ever broken this rule.
Jiang originally wanted to say a few more words, but with a "squeak" sound, Liu Zizhi had already led the rest of the Liu family into the upper room. As soon as the Jiang family saw that everyone found out, Liu Tiandong didn't come over, thinking that he was taking care of Liu Manman.
"Mother, what did you call us over?" Zhao in the third room asked, her husband Liu Chuanhua went to find someone and hasn't come back yet, and now she is alone in the third room, so naturally she can't say anything.
"It's nothing, it's just that Li Zheng said that he came to see our man, but I think there are some things that would be good if Li Zheng helped us testify." Jiang replied.
Xiao Wanquan frowned, then smiled: "If my brother and sister have anything important to witness for my brother, just say it now." ”
The Jiang family was originally afraid that Xiao Wanquan would blame himself for Liu Manman's matter, but Jiang thought again, no matter what, she was Liu Manman's own grandmother, could she not even be the master of her granddaughter's marriage as a real grandmother? Therefore, the Jiang family made up their minds to confirm the matter of Liu Manman's marriage.
"It's nothing, it's what I told you last night, and today I want Li Zheng and Brother Zhang to be a witness to Brother Li." Jiang said.
When Zhang heard that Jiang was going to tell Li Zheng about this, he was already happy in his heart. If Rang Li Zheng witnessed this incident, then the second room would not be able to refuse in the future.
"Yesterday I said that I would settle the marriage of the mangirl, and today I will ask Lizheng to give us a testimony to the mangirl." Jiang said.
Zhang Jingyuan laughed and said: "Sister-in-law, what you did is not right, we can't do this testimony." ”
Jiang was stunned for a moment and asked, "How can I not do it?" ”
Zhang Jingyuan said: "Sister-in-law, no matter what the girl is, she is your own granddaughter, right?" ”
Jiang nodded: "Of course. ”
Zhang Jingyuan then continued: "Then since it is your own granddaughter, how can you not follow the rules and etiquette at all?"
Jiang suddenly realized that he wanted to give the marriage a decision, but he ignored the simplest and most important thing, the woman decided the marriage by herself, what is going on?
You must know that the first thing to do is to accept the color first, that is, to accept the gift of its choice to the woman's family. That is, the man's family invites a matchmaker to the woman's house to propose marriage. Then there are the gifts given to each other by the men and women, and then there are the six wedding ceremonies.
The ancient Han marriage customs paid attention to the "six rites". The so-called six rites refer to the lottery, the name, the Naji, the sign, the invitation, and the welcome.
Nacai is the meaning of choosing a match and proposing a parent. It is also known as "talking about matchmakers".
Asking for a name, that is, the so-called "asking for eight characters". In ancient and today's marriage customs, the year, month, day, and time of the girl's birth should be calculated by Mr. Yin and Yang. Only when men and women are compatible, can they be married. The ancient custom of asking names also includes asking who gave birth to the girl, that is, asking whether she was born to her own or adopted, whether she was born in the main room or in the stepfamily. Since ancient times, it has been required to be the right person, and it is very important to ask about the relationship between the family and the family.
Najib refers to the propose. Generally speaking, the marriage can be established when the eight characters of a man and a woman are in harmony and receive good signs. The man told the woman about this fact and called him Najib.
Levy is "giving a bride price" and "giving a dowry". "Recruitment" is success. After the bride price. The marriage is settled. If the bride price is not given, the marriage may not be established.
The invitation period refers to the selection of the date of marriage and the notification of the woman's family orally or in writing, which is the so-called "sending day". The date of marriage must be agreed by the woman's family, so it is called "invitation period".
Kissing refers to marrying. The man sends someone or personally to marry the bride.
This is the most basic marriage, but now the Jiang family is the master of the marriage of Liu Manman on the premise that the man did not invite a matchmaker to the door at all, which is contrary to common sense.
As soon as Zhang heard Zhang Jingyuan say the three books and six ceremonies of the marriage in front of everyone, he knew that this matter was only afraid that there would be changes. So he immediately said: "My relative entrusted me to do this, I am the matchmaker, and besides, my own people don't talk about those false courtesies." ”
"You can't say that, old man, you said that your relative entrusted you to do this, and you are the matchmaker of this marriage, so let me ask you, are you an official media or a private media? The official media can have the certification of the government, and what kind of good couples can the private media make? ”
