Yuanfu means very much to Yingzi, Yuanfu represents a formal adult, from a child protected by parents to an adult who can take responsibility - the most important thing is that you can only marry after Yuanfu!

The crown wedding and funeral sacrifice are the four major events in the life of the Fuso people at this time, the yuan costume, the fate of the knot, the funeral ceremony, and the ancestor sacrifice, which must not be careless.

Fusang imitates the ancient Chinese rites, and the Yuan costume is mostly selected on the auspicious days of Jiazi and Bingyin, especially the first month of the month, and the Yuan costume ceremony is held between the ages of 15 and 20 for men and women.

After the Chinese "Lu Li" Day was spread to Fusang, the "crown ceremony" and "Lu Li" were combined into the "Yuan Fu", and the Shangsi Festival became the "Hina Festival" of the Daughter's Festival, which was specially used to celebrate and pray for the happiness, safety and healthy growth of girls.

Yingzi's Yuanfu was originally scheduled for last year, but it was postponed to this year because of Zhixiu - at this time, marriage is still the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, if there is a noble family who likes Yingzi, it can be delayed if it is not Yuanfu, and it is not easy to refuse if Yuanfu is served.

But the engagement can be carried out in advance, and the two families can agree to be each other's in-laws before the child is born, so most of the preparations for the fate of the three books and six ceremonies last year are gone - after all, Yingzi is very beautiful, and Zhixiu is also afraid of extraneous branches.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the hosts, Mr. and Mrs. Nakamura, attended in full costume, the main guest was Mrs. Takemae's mother, the assistant of the main guest was Mrs. Kojima, the presiding officer was Mrs. Nakajima, the waiter "Shoji", the "deacon" and the musician who played the shamisen were Eiko's friends, and the guests who watched the ceremony were all neighbor women, among which there was a man mixed with a man - Naohide insisted on participating, and Eiko also agreed after pretending to shirk it, there is a beloved person on a good day, show him both beauty and happiness!

It was the first time for Naoxiu to participate in her daughter's Yuanfu, and she watched it with relish.

At the beginning, to the sound of shamisen, the host welcomes the guests and visitors into the living room to take their seats.

"Today's little girl's Yuan costume, please all the teachers and relatives and friends to watch the ceremony", Nakamura Shoichi as the head of the family first gave the ceremony, and after everyone returned the salute, Mrs. Nakajima announced the start of the Yuan costume, and then Yingzi wore the regular clothes "small lines" and combed a simple hair to greet everyone.

Mrs. Zhengbin Zhuqian chanted, "The auspicious day of the moon is the beginning of the Canadian dollar service." Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. Then she sat on her knees, combed Yingzi's hair with the help of the "praiser" and added a hairpipe, changed Yingzi's hairstyle to a large hanging hair, the hair in front was stretched to both sides, the back of her head was tied into a bun, and the long hair was tied together and hung straight down - Nao Xiuxin said that this is not a long ponytail.

After the new hairstyle was combed, the guests returned to their seats, and the praiser Mrs. Nakajima straightened the hair flute for Yingzi, and then Yingzi saluted the spectators, and everyone returned the salute. After that, Eiko retreated to another room, and after a while she changed into a kimono with Nakatsu sleeve and reappeared.

Zhongzhen sleeves are much more beautiful than the regular "small lines". The small pattern is a kimono printed with a small pattern, relatively simple, "Zhenzu" is a long-sleeved kimono, and the decorative picture on the kimono "Painted Feather" can be put together into a whole large pattern, and the pattern seems to be a crane peony picture after looking at it for a long time.

The small pattern just now is cotton,This time the Zhensleeve is made of silk,In addition to the family pattern, there are embroidery、Embellishment、Bonzing、Foil and other special processes,Yingzi was originally very bright,After changing the gorgeous Zhensleeve, Zhixiu was dumbfounded,Almost drooled。

Zhensleeve, according to the width of the sleeve pocket is divided into large Zhensleeve, medium Zhensleeve and small Zhensleeve, is a special dress for unmarried women, only on very solemn occasions will be worn, such as Yuan dress when wearing the middle sleeve, when the fate of the big sleeve, after the marriage of the women's dress becomes a sleeve.

Yingzi's first appearance to change her hairstyle is called "One Plus" in the Yuan Suit, and this appearance is called "One Worship". Yingzi slowly walked around the living room to show everyone the beauty, and then faced her parents and bowed to express her gratitude for her parents' nurturing grace.

Yingzi knelt in front of her parents, Nakamura Shoichi and Mrs. Sakurako said some words of affection, in short, some entrustment and expectations, Yingzi listened quietly, not at all to see the usual liveliness, After listening, he replied, "Although the son is not sensitive, dare not only admit it", and gave the Nakamura couple a salute again.

After that, Yingzi turned around and first saluted the guests and "praisers", then to the spectators, and then to the "praisers", "deacons", and "musicians", and everyone nodded slightly.

Then, Yingzi retreated behind her parents and sat down, and the head of the Nakamura family, Shoichi, announced that "the yuan service has been completed, thank you to the relatives and friends of the teacher for watching the ceremony", the Nakamura family gave the ceremony again, and the spectators returned the ceremony together, and the yuan service was over.

Yingzi's Yuan costume ceremony is relatively simple, it is said that the Yuan costume in the noble family's house is divided into 17 steps, including welcome, spectators in place, opening ceremony, Yuan costume in place, bin Xu, Chu Jia, one bow, two plus, two worship, three plus, three worship, Li, Jiaozi, Zi Xuan, listening, thanksgiving, and etiquette into seventeen steps, even the clothes have to be changed three times, it is really an unimaginable big scene.

At the end of the ceremony, Shochi Nakamura and Naohide leave together, leaving a group of women to rejoice on their own. Weng and his son-in-law looked at each other and smiled, hooked their shoulders and went to find the other three heads of the jujube house, and the children and their mothers all came to watch the ceremony, so everyone hurried to have fun.

At dusk, Yingzi changed his small sleeves to find Naoxiu, helped him cook small bean porridge and prayed for no disease and no disaster, burned the "New Year's moon ornament to dispel illness and eliminate disasters, hung the grains made of rice cakes on the branches of the courtyard, and prayed for a good harvest of grains.

Then Yingzi asked Zhixiu how he felt about the ceremony today, Zhixiu only took two teas from the gushing to the intestines and scraping the belly, and finally under the autumn waves of Yingzi's gentle sea, he handed over the account book, golden tickets, gold goods and copper coins, and reported his plans for the new year by the way, in which the fate was highlighted by Yingzi.

The next day, Naohide ran to the mansion of his new boss Domoto Hanbei Keita early, and presented an application for study abroad and a request for a tie, and Domoto said, "I'm busy just after the New Year, and you say I'm a retired little general who asks for control of the head of the group, is it easy for me", Naohide hurriedly shush the cold and ask for warmth, and finally, for the sake of the gift, Domoto promised to go to Edo Castle as soon as possible.

Ten days later, on the third day of the first lunar month, Horiya Yashiki was full of people, and it turned out that today was the joy of Naohide and Eiko.

合卺而醑, pronounced "hé jǐn ér yìn", 卺 is a scoop used as a wine vessel when weddings were held in ancient times, and 合卺而酳 is a glass of wine for newlyweds to drink. At the wedding, "eat together, eat together", on behalf of the newlyweds living together from now on, symbolizing the future of sharing weal and woe, honor and disgrace.

Marriage ceremonies in the Edo period were also similar to the Chinese Three Books and Six Rites: the three books were the letter of appointment, the letter of rites, and the letter of greeting, while the six rites were Nacai, asking for names, naji, nazheng, invitation, and greeting. Among them, Nacai is a marriage proposal, asking for a name is to ask for a woman's name, Naji is divining whether the eight characters of the birthday are appropriate, Naji is to pay the bride price, and the invitation period is for both men and women to determine the date of welcoming the bride, and the kiss is to welcome the bride.

Naohide was not interested in Shinto and stayed away from monks, so the fate was in front of the people that was common at this time - the pre-god style and the pre-Buddha style were unaffordable and unaffordable.

Because of the rush of time, many relatives and friends are not able to adjust their time, and Naohide was warned by Oguri's representative shogunate to be cautious recently, so there are not many people who come to the marriage ceremony, and the scale is not large.

Originally, Naohide didn't want to invite his boss Domoto, but the "busy with official business" Domoto said that he would definitely take the time to participate, and Naohide saw that he was thinking hard about "how much thank you should receive when he was not the guest of honor", so he directly told him that Naoxiu's teacher was the guest of honor, so as not to make any trouble with this master.

Actually, Mr. Hyun Park is still in Saga, and Mr. Tanan has already gone to Nirayama to serve the princess, and it is Egawa Youngtoshi who replaces his father as the guest of honor.

In the Edo period, there was also a custom of welcoming relatives in a sedan chair, but the Nakamura family and the Naohide family were neighbors, and Fuso did not set off firecrackers, cross the brazier, etc., so the two families were combined, and on the day of the fate, Naohide carried Yingzi to his house early, and no one saw it, although it didn't conform to common sense, but Yingzi was happy to race high!

Hori's house is not big, there are not many people and can't be stuffed, the weather is not very warm in the moon, and it is definitely not good to entertain guests in the courtyard, so Naohide divides the guests into three places, the important male guests are in Hori's house, the other male guests go to Uncle Takemae's house, and the female guests all go to the father-in-law's Nakamura house, anyway, it's close, and when Naohide and Yingzi toast around, they won't leave everyone out in the cold.

The master of ceremonies "praise" is played by the neighbor Edo-cho Tongtong Nakajima Kuroo, who is a human spirit mixed up in the market and can cope with any scene.

The "marriage" of the wedding was originally "dusk", the ancient Chinese took dusk as the auspicious time, the woman was yin, and the dusk was "yang to yin and yin", and the wedding was held at dusk, which was in line with the saying that the yin qi entered the house. Fuso's weddings are influenced by Chinese culture, but also retain some local customs, and the so-called auspicious time is not limited to dusk.

Uncle Taro Takemae, as the general of the man's side, entertained Hidetoshi Egawa, Oguri Tadashun and other guests to take their seats, and after the important guests arrived, he motioned to Kuroo Nakajima to start the ceremony.

After Nakajima Kuroo sings, the shamisen sounds, and Naohide and Eiko dress up.

Hana-in-law Naohide walked into the living room from the room behind the house, and Yingzi was helped into the living room from the courtyard, and today she was dressed in white and clean, with a "cotton hat", holding a fan in one hand and an umbrella in the other.

As the name suggests, the white kimono is made from the inside out, consisting of a gown, a gown, a belt, and cloth socks, the gown is a long, wide-sleeved coat with dark lines or other decorations such as white embroidery, and the inside of the gown looks similar to the small sleeves in the furisode.

The gown is the thickest and heaviest single piece of all kimonos, generally more than 3.5 kilograms, and was nicknamed "quilt" by many girls in later generations.

"Cotton hat" is not a real cotton hat, it is a huge round hood that covers the bride's "flower marriage" hairstyle and forehead, representing the meaning of "only for the groom to see", and also indicates that the bride will suppress her temper and represent the meaning of obedience.

The fan held by the bride is called "Suehiro", which means that the road is getting wider and wider.

Zanli first briefly introduced the family backgrounds of Naohide and Eiko, and then said good things about Naohide and Eiko, and then announced the beginning of the ceremony.

Naohide and Eiko first saluted the altar where the ancestral tablets were enshrined, and then to their parents—their uncle Taro Takemae and his wife took the place of Naohide's parents, and then bowed to the guest of honor and the observers in turn.

Next is the "Three Offerings of the Ceremony", also known as the "Three, Three, Nine Degrees Cup", there are a total of three red wine cups, each wine cup has to be passed to each other three times before drinking, the first two times are slightly lip touched, the last time to drink the wine dry. The first cup is that the flower first drinks a little and then hands it to the flower marry, the flower marryes a little drink and then hands it to the flower son-in-law, and then the flower son drinks it dry in one gulp; The second cup starts with the flower wedding; The third cup starts with the flowers. After the flower and son-in-law are drunk, the guest of honor and the audience should accompany a plate of wine.

The ritual of three offerings symbolizes the goodness of heaven, earth and man in this marriage, and the nine degrees of cupping have a good omen of growing old together and growing old for a long time. The third is the favorite auspicious number of Fusang people, but nine is similar to "bitter" in the pronunciation of Fusang, so "Three Offerings" is a more pleasing name.

The earliest human pre-ritual knot was successfully completed after the ritual of the three offerings, but there is still a ritual to be carried out.

Then Naoxiu and Yingzi read the marriage contract together, indicating that both parties share weal and woe, support each other, and grow old together.

After reading the wedding book, the guest of honor, Egawa Hidetoshi, expressed his blessings for the marriage on behalf of Naohide's husband, Egawa Tanan. After that, the praise and the two sides of the family head of the congratulatory speech, Takemae Taro is more vulgar but the words are sincere, everyone listened to the nod again and again, Nakamura Shoichi used warm words, but everyone reacted in general, so Takemae Taro was very proud.

After the end of the congratulatory speech, Naoxiu and Yingzi greeted everyone again, and then the two left, the ceremony officially ended, the banquet began, and everyone began to eat and drink after the wine and food came up.

Yingzi replaced Bai Wujian with Da Zhen sleeves, and went out with Naoxiu to toast the important guests, and now there is no wine to say, the son-in-law is respectful and respectful, and the attitude of the guests is also very serious and solemn. After the toast, Yingzi went to the Nakamura house where the female relatives were located to greet relatives and friends, and Naohide hurried to Takemae's house to greet the other guests - they made a special trip, and they couldn't even see each other when they watched the ceremony.

When Naohide came back, Taro Takemae, who had drunk high in Hori's house, was clumsily performing the folk dance "Sumiyoshitsu" for everyone, and Oguri Tadashun laughed when he saw it - Naohide sent him an invitation out of politeness, but he didn't expect Oguri to take leave to participate, and Naohide was a little touched by this.

Egawa Youngtoshi saw that Naohide was back, so he said goodbye to Naohide - he was not used to the atmosphere here, Egawa Youngmin said goodbye, and Oguri Tadashun was not good to stay, so he had to leave with Egawa. As soon as the two of them left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, so they began to laugh and drink loudly.

It didn't make trouble until the evening, the three banquets didn't end, and Naoxiu sent everyone away before coming back to see Yingzi, and the female relatives and friends ended early, Yingzi had already returned, and she was tired for a day, but she still insisted on not sleeping.

Zhixiu laughed dumbly, the fate of the knot was down one day, the young couple was tired and half dead, just happy for the sake of guests and relatives and friends, and always felt that something was wrong.

Yingzi wants to serve Naoxiu to wipe her body and wash her feet, Naoxiu refuses and says that he can do it, he asks Yingzi to quickly remove her makeup, shave off her eyebrows is enough, and white-powder is also good for her face - it is said that you can avoid finding your wife in the dark night, what the hell is Black Fang?

Yingzi heard Naoxiu complain about black teeth, and she was also quite proud of her neat teeth, but it was customary to shave off her eyebrows, apply white-powder to her face and blacken her teeth, and today was a big day, so she had to do it, and now when she heard Naoxiu say this, she happily went to remove her makeup - Naoxiu praised her for her natural beauty before, so Yingzi would not suspect that Naoxiu disliked her.

Yingzi returned to the bedroom, and saw Naoxiu's eyes burning and shy, Shimada untied her black hair hanging down like a waterfall, she bowed her head slightly, "The service is not good, please bear with Lang Jun."
