Chapter 290: Chapel
Chu Jiaqiang and his party also stepped on the point back, and after getting out of the car for a while, they heard someone shouting: "The auspicious time has arrived, fire the cannon!" "When the auspicious time is not enough, the newcomer cannot enter the door immediately, and can only stand at the door.
Hearing this, the long firecrackers that had been hung up a long time ago rang out again. Chu Jiaqiang covered Ye Caiping with an umbrella, walked into the door of the house under the fire, and signaled that they would be in the same boat, and so on.
"It feels very different from what we have there." At this time, there are tourists whispering about it.
"What's so strange about that? Marriage customs vary slightly across the country. By the way, what is your marriage entrance like there? Someone next to him continued.
The man turned his head to look at it, and then said, "Generally, when you enter the door, you have to put a fire at the door, and the newcomer must step over the fire." The meaning of this approach is actually the same, but in a different way.
"Huh! Isn't that like someone going into a cell and coming back? A woman was surprised. When you enter the cell and come out, you will usually step over the brazier when you enter the house, which means to remove all bad luck.
The man snorted, and then there was no follow-up. Everyone returned to the scene, and at this time, Chu Jiaqiang and the bride had already walked in.
When they entered the house, the elders first gave dividends, and after a while, the necks of the two were full of large and small laisees. made those children who watched envious, and secretly wondered when they would get married. Children's minds are always simple, and they are afraid that only they can come up with getting married for the sake of red envelopes.
"Okay, enter the door, and then we will be a family. Love each other. The second uncle spoke, as if he had put down a big stone in his heart. And no wonder. Chu Jiaqiang lost his parents since he was a child, and he is Chu Jiaqiang's only direct elder. Such a life event. He had to worry about it, besides, his nephew was not too young, and in Chujiazhai, there were almost no people like him who were not married.
Then, it's the theme song: Chapel. The room was already packed. Most of them can only listen to the sound outside, and cannot see the inside at all. In this case, they can only wait for the video to be watched. Anyway, the filming crew filmed the whole process, and you can watch that part if you want to when the time comes. There's no need to squeeze in and make a mess for others.
The chapel is also called "worshipping heaven and earth". One of the ancient wedding ceremonies. Chinese Wedding Ceremony. It is also known as worshipping high hall and worshipping flower hall. In the old days, when weddings were held, the bride and groom visited the heavens and the earth, and then repaid homage to their ancestors, the man's parents, and the elder. There are also worships on heaven and earth, ancestors, parents and husband and wife, all of whom are collectively referred to as worship halls.
"Hmmm! This time it was my turn. Ding Jianhui said with a smile. He also said that when Chu Jiaqiang gets married, he will be the main marriage. Before this, in order to cater to the customs of Chujiazhai as much as possible, he also learned how to officiate from the old village chief. After understanding, he was greatly relieved, it turned out that the main marriage of Chujiazhai was so easy to pass.
But Wan Lao's old qualifications are a little angry. This officiant, they also have ideas. But since they said it before, it's not easy for them to intervene.
The freshest ones may be the gringos like Jackton, Wells and Muddy. They are accustomed to church weddings in the West, and even now in China, especially in cities, many people still use that kind of marriage ceremony.
"This old man is the pastor of today? Okay! He seems to be engaged in science, right? Wells couldn't help but say when he saw Ding Jianhui walking out in a Tang suit. In his opinion, the pastor is engaged in pseudoscience in the church. It doesn't match this old man's profession! He had been here for so many days, and he knew the origin of this man, a natural scientist who had come to investigate.
"Unlike China, witnesses don't pay attention to their status, they look at their age. The older you get, the more qualified you seem to be to be a priest and a pastor. Mu Dezhen said.
The second uncle and second aunt sat in the high hall on the left and right, smiling. Ding Jianhui immediately sang: "The bride and groom, kneel!" ”
When Chu Jiaqiang and Ye Caiping heard this, they immediately knelt down in front.
"Bow down!" Ding Jianhui shouted again, and the two newcomers began to kowtow.
As soon as these words fell, the same voice came: "One kowtow!" One kowtow! ”
Everyone looked for prestige, only to see Brother Wren screaming not far away. Everyone thought that guy was so uninteresting, and he actually made trouble at this time. Seeing that it was Brother Wren, it was another flavor, and they all chuckled. For this little bird's learning ability, everyone here has already seen it.
Chu Jiaqiang glared at him, and Brother Wren immediately flew away, and at the end, he didn't forget to add: "Happy newlywed!" Happy Wedding! "This sentence has been said by many people today, so it's not surprising that this guy would say it!
"Up!" "Kneel again! Two kowtows! After Brother Wren left, Ding Jianhui continued. The bride and groom did so.
"Up!" "Kneel again! Three prostrations! Rise! Seeing the two of them standing up, Ding Jianhui finally shouted: "Enter the new house!" This is equivalent to the old tradition of "entering the cave room", which means that the bride and groom enter their own husband and wife rooms and adapt to the new house. In the midst of this, there is no husband and wife who worship this.
The two were about to move, when two golden bamboo rats swaggered out. Seeing this scene, everyone was dumbfounded. I saw Xiao Jin and his wife carrying a ginseng two fingers thick and more than 30 centimeters long, Xiao Jin carried his head in front of him, and his wife carried his tail in the back.
Chu Jiaqiang sweats wildly! After many people were shocked, they were surprised and screamed one by one. The people outside were depressed, and they only heard exclamations, which showed that something interesting was happening inside, but they couldn't see it.
Professor Wen took the ginseng, looked at it for a while, and then said in surprise: "This ginseng is at least three hundred years old, which is very precious, and now you can't buy it with money!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone exclaimed again. Many people know that a few days ago, a wild ginseng plant of 30 grams in Chinese New Year's Eve was auctioned for a sky-high price of more than 3 million. The gift of these two bamboo rats is probably the most noble of all the gifts, right?
Xiao Jin was very satisfied with everyone's looks and expressions, and when he saw Chu Jiaqiang accept the gift, he took his daughter-in-law and left with his head held high.
"Oh my God! Where are these animals found? One is more wicked than the other. Hu Hai rubbed his eyes that were a little tired, and said incredulously.
The worship hall is over, but the steps of marriage are not over, and there is still one last step - confession! It is the groom who takes the bride to know his relatives.
"That's it? Shouldn't they kiss in public? Jackton asked, the guy was a little loud, and many people heard it.
Zhou Furong immediately raised his hand in agreement: "That's right! How can you forget such an important thing? ”
In fact, in Chujiazhai, there are also people who make trouble after worshipping the church, which is similar to many people's "haunted cave rooms", but they are all slight nonsense. In the countryside, people are not open-minded enough, so they will usually coax "kisses" or the like, or deliberately make things difficult for you to sing a song and listen to it, which is harmless.
The haunted room is an indispensable part of the traditional wedding, which can be counted as a wedding*, and there are customs of the haunted house in various places. In addition to being amused, the haunting room has other meanings. Not only are the family happy, but the relatives and friends in the cave house are also happy to take the opportunity to make a noise and use all kinds of new tricks to make the bride and groom cry and laugh in the "sleepy city".
It is said that there are often foxes and ghosts in the cave room, and the haunting cave room can expel the yin energy of evil spirits and enhance people's yang energy, so there is a saying: "People do not haunt ghosts". Haunted house in a positive sense. It can add a lively atmosphere and remove the feeling of desertion. Therefore, some places are also called "greenhouses".
In the old days, the union of men and women was mostly introduced by people, and they were relatively strange to each other, and the haunted room could allow them to eliminate the strangeness and make a good start for the newlywed life. In addition, the haunted room can also make relatives and friends get to know each other. It shows the prosperity of the family and strengthens the relationship between relatives and friends.
"Kiss her! Kiss her! I don't know that the guy spoke first, and there was an instant commotion.
"Since everyone is enthusiastic, the bride and groom can express it!" Ding Lao said with a smile.
Although Ye Caiping accepts the open-mindedness of the outside world, now in front of the public, she is still looking at and kissing fixedly, and she still makes a big red face.
However, Chu Jiaqiang is not very polite, straighten Ye Caiping's face and kiss it, you can see it! Anyway, you only have envy.
"This guy is really not reserved!" Ye Jisheng said with a smile.
"What's this? Last time you wantonly touched a woman's thigh in front of me, didn't you see you kid reserved? Li Xiangdong unceremoniously exposed Ye Jisheng's scandal.
The people around all looked at these two unscrupulous guys, and Ye Jisheng's face was bitter: "Boss, can you give some face?" Just talk about it in private, there's no need to make a fool of your brother, right? ”
Subsequently, some people asked to sing, and it was a love song sung by a man and a woman. This is difficult for the two of them, and they picked a classic song "The Moon Represents My Heart" and sang it in duet with affection.
After singing, everyone stopped making trouble and let the newcomers go for the time being. said for the time being, because when I drank later, I would embarrass them.
After looking at the new house and getting to know relatives and friends, everyone chatted with each other. Chu Jiaqiang was free, and only said a few words to everyone one by one, don't let people come from afar and feel left out. Especially Mr. Gu and other people who came here for the first time, they chatted a few more words.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, the feast began. Although I had a meal in the morning, because the protagonists were not there, that meal was not too rich, and this meal was the main dish in the afternoon.
Although the venue is not luxurious, most of it is placed outdoors, but it has a unique style. Although the table is also a table of eight immortals that everyone gathers, the food is full of color, flavor and flavor, so that many people open their bellies and eat very happily.
During this period, Chu Jiaqiang took Ye Caiping around to toast, which was also necessary. Although Chu Jiaqiang drank a small glass every time he toasted, the amount was very small, but the nearly 100 tables of people here also drank Chu Jiaqiang's head and head swelling. If he hadn't cultivated and kept running with his true qi, he would probably have fallen a long time ago.
