Hearing the shout of the master of ceremonies, Huang Wenyuan immediately pulled Xiao Yao, stepped on the red carpet, walked into the hall, and came to the front of the master of ceremonies.

The master of ceremonies also returned the salute and said, "Congratulations to General Xiao!" You can just stand here first. ”

Then the master of ceremonies said a long congratulatory message, and then shouted loudly: "Respectfully invite Mrs. Xiao into the hall!" ”

At this time, the eldest brother who was standing in front of the red carpet with Xu Miao did not move, and Xu Miao was accompanied by his personal maid, and walked on the red carpet towards Xiao Yao, until he arrived in front of Xiao Yao, Huang Wenyuan immediately reminded in a low voice: "Commander, salute Madame quickly, and I will salute again when I invite her into the hall later!" ”

Xiao Yao, who was reminded, immediately saluted Xu Miao and said, "Madame is polite." ”

I saw that Xu Miao just bowed back the salute, still standing still, and between her gestures, she showed the nobility of the gate valve and the luxury of everyone's ladies! Then Xiao Yao came to Xu Miao, saluted again and said, "Respectfully invite Mrs. to enter the hall!" ”

At this time, Huang Wenyuan, who was standing on the side, immediately walked out, holding a piece of red cloth with a big red flower tied in the middle with both hands, and then handed one end to Xu Miao, and the other end to Xiao Yao to lead, and then the two newcomers took the two ends of the red cloth and walked slowly to the door of the main hall together, but stopped again!

At this time, the master of ceremonies led everyone outside the main hall to congratulate Xiao Yao in unison and said: "Congratulations to General Xiao and his wife on getting married and growing old together!" ”

Xiao Yao and Xu Miao also nodded to the guests and bent down to thank them, and then Huang Wenyuan stepped forward to take away the red cloth in their hands, and the master of ceremonies continued to shout: "General Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are invited to enter the hall!" ”

At this time, Xiao Yao and Xu Miaocai officially stepped into the main hall, and the guests outside also came to the door one after another, standing outside the door to salute.

The couple came to the center of the hall, and the master of ceremonies followed them, and then continued to shout: "General Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are invited to perform the Wo Yu ceremony!" ”

At this time, the two little maids came to the couple with a mat, and after spreading out the mat, the master of ceremonies motioned for Xiao Yao and Xu Miao to sit on the mat together, and Huang Wenyuan had already walked over with a basin covered with a red cloth.

A little maid stepped forward and gently uncovered the red cloth, only to see that the basin contained half a basin of water, and then Huang Wenyuan first put the basin in front of Xiao Yao, and let Xiao Yao put his hand into the basin, and the little maid carefully helped Xiao Yao wash his hands.

After Xiao Yao washed his hands, Huang Wenyuan put the basin in front of Xu Miao in the shout of the master of ceremonies, and the little maid also continued to wash his hands for Xu Miao. ”

This is, Huang Wenyuan pulled up Xiao Yao, Xu Miao was supported by the maids, the two stood aside, and the other maids immediately stepped forward to move the mat and basin, and then moved a table, on which were also placed all kinds of tableware and meat, and there was also a gourd that was cut in half and then connected together with a red rope!

At this time, the master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "Please General Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are in the same prison!" ”

The gift of the same prison? Two people in the same cell? Is it going to be a cave so soon? Do you want to be in a public cave? It seems that the ancients also knew that marriage was a man's prison, so they said that the new house was a prison cell! Xiao Yao was still thinking nonsense, only to see Huang Wenyuan and the little maid helping Xiao Yao and Xu Miao to the table, and then let them sit down, Huang Wenyuan and the little maid held a bowl and a piece of meat, and then put the bowl of meat in front of Xiao Yao and Xu Miao, so that they both ate the same piece of meat.

After eating the meat, the master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "Newcomers raise their glasses!" ”

Then Xiao Yao and Xu Miao picked up a glass of wine, Xiao Yao thought that he was going to drink together, but he saw that Xu Miao had already drunk the wine with his head high, and Xiao Yao could only drink the wine immediately, and the master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "The same prison ceremony is over!" ”

It turns out that this prison does not mean to go to prison, "prison" is actually the ancient sacrificial thing, if you use three kinds of animals, cattle, pigs, sheep, it is called "too prison", only pigs and sheep are called "less prison", so the original meaning of the prison cell is to keep these animals in the room, and later the prisoners are also locked in these places where animals are kept, and gradually, the prison cell becomes the meaning of prison.

So the gift of the same prison, in fact, is that the bride and groom eat a share of meat to signify the beginning of a common life!

After drinking, Xiao Yao thought that the wedding was almost over, but the master of ceremonies shouted loudly: "Please General Xiao and Mrs. Xiao have a joint ceremony!" ”

What, didn't you already drink just now? Although the two didn't cross their hands and drink a glass of wine, wasn't that a joint wine just now? Xiao Yao was at a loss, only to see Huang Wenyuan and the little maid step forward, and then poured the wine into the cut gourd melon, and then handed it to Xiao Yao and Xu Miao respectively.

"Commander, just drink half of it!" Huang Wenyuan reminded in a low voice.

Xiao Yao and Xu Miao both took the gourd, and then took a sip of the wine in the melon, Xiao Yao suddenly felt that the taste of this wine had been mixed with the bitter taste of gourd, which was very unpleasant, but Xiao Yao could only frown and swallow it, and Xu Miao was also so bitter that he frowned!

Then Huang Wenyuan took the gourd gourd with only half of the wine left, then exchanged it with the half of the gourd gourd that Xu Miao had drunk, and handed it to Xiao Yao and said, "Commander, this half of the wine is about to be drunk!" ”

Xiao Yao also understood a little, so he immediately took the gourd, and then drank the half of the wine that Xu Miao had drunk, and drank it in one go!

It turns out that the wine is not a glass of wine!

卺 actually refers to this gourd gourd, its taste is bitter and inedible, so most of them are used to make scoops, and the merge, in fact, is to cut a gourd gourd into two scoops, and then use the thread to connect the handle, by the groom and the bride each take a scoop to drink, drink together, symbolizing marriage will connect the two as one.

Moreover, the wine not only conveys the meaning that the husband and wife will never be separated, but also has another layer of deeper meaning, that is, the taste of wine in ancient times is sweet, so the wine is poured into the two bitter gourd scoops, so that the newlyweds drink this sweet and bitter wine, which means that the husband and wife will share joys and sorrows together!

After the two of them finished drinking, the master of ceremonies continued to shout: "Please General Xiao and Mrs. Xiao pay homage!" ”

Finally a ritual that Xiao Yao feels more familiar with, the so-called worship ceremony is common in later generations, one worships heaven and earth, two worships the high hall, and husband and wife worship each other!

Then in the shouting of the master of ceremonies, Xiao Yao and Xu Miao solemnly bowed to Xiao Moke and Zhou Chao, after all, one of them is Xiao Yao's father-in-law, and the other is Xiao Yao's master! But except for Xiao Moke's gratifying acceptance of Xiao Yao's Xu Miao's bowing, Zhou Chao felt very uncomfortable, after all, he was Xiao Yao's master on the surface, but in fact he was Xiao Yao's subordinate!

However, Xiao Yao didn't feel that there was anything wrong, he still looked elated, took Xu Miao to kneel and kowtow to the two elders, and asked why there were no red envelopes for the couple to give them, which surprised everyone!

In the end, it was the master of ceremonies who shouted loudly in time: "Thank you!" ”

Xiao Yao and Xu Miaocai stood up and saluted together to thank the guests who were watching the ceremony outside, and everyone also returned the salute and shouted: "Congratulations to General Xiao, congratulations to Mrs. Xiao!" ”

It was not until the end that the master of ceremonies shouted: "After the worship is over, the chief is seated!" All guests are invited to take their seats! ”

So, a set of cumbersome marriage etiquette is finally over!
