After answering his daughter-in-law's Yang Cuihua's financial management question, Zhang Jing said excitedly: "Let's focus on discussing the matter of running a carriage dealership!" ”

Zhang Jing cleared his throat as he spoke, looked at Tian Jing and said, "Brother Tian, can you first introduce the important facilities and lively places in Bianliang City to you, we are from the mountain valley; I don't understand anything! ”

Tian Jing heard Zhang Jing say this, and said with a smile: "Little Brother Zhang didn't prompt Tian to talk about it today!" ”

As he spoke, he looked around and said with a smile: "It's very rare to catch a scene like this today, Tian must take out all the words in his stomach!" ”

Tian Jing said, cleared his throat and stood up and said: "If you want to talk about the attractions and buildings in Bianliang City, Tian has summarized that there are about 20 places!" ”

"Twenty of them!" Wang Yang was surprised and said: "Then the Great Xiangguo Temple where we are located is not counted within the 20 places of Brother Tian!" ”

"Of course, Daxiangguo Temple must be counted among them! Daxiangguo Temple is also called the surname trading market, if the people who come to Bianliang do not come to Daxiangguo Temple; That means you didn't come! Tian Jingyang said freely, dancing with his hands and saying: "There is everything in the trading market of the ten thousand surnames of the Great Xiangguo Temple: the three gates are full of birds, cats and dogs, rare birds and beasts, everything. The second and third doors are all used to use all kinds of things, and the courtyard is set up with a colorful curtain open house shop, selling shop, mat, screen, washing, saddle bridle, bow and sword, time fruit, preserved and so on are daily necessities market. Near the Buddha Hall, it sells Mengjia Daoguan, Wang Daoren Honey Fried, Zhao Wenxiu Pen and Pan Gumo, etc., which is a cultural market. The two corridors are all temples and aunts sell embroidery, collar wipes, flowers, pearls, heads, raw colors, gold patterns, heads, hats, special buns, crowns, silk threads, etc., selling handmade handicrafts made by nuns of the temples. In front of the palace, there are books, good plays, pictures, and all kinds of earthy things and incense medicines for dismissed officials, which is also roughly a cultural market. The back porch is full of buy and sell the supplies of fortune-tellers!"

Zhao Ji listened to Tian Jing's funny speech, smacked his tongue and said: "It's really a deal with ten thousand surnames!" We hurried to eat, ate and walked around to have a look! ”

Zhang Jing said with a smile: "Brother Zhao Ji, don't be impatient, once we live in Bianliang; There are many opportunities to visit Daxiangguo Temple! ”

Zhang Jing said and looked at Tian Jing and said, "Brother Tian continued with the previous words!" ”

Tian Jing stretched his neck and swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "In addition to the most prosperous and lively Daxiangguo Temple in Bianliang City, there are also Tai Temple, tiles, and brothels......"

Zhao Ji interrupted Tian Jing's words and interjected a sentence to ask: "Is the brothel a place to do that......

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked by Zhang Jing on the ditch egg and said: "Zhao Ji, you have no success in the dog's day, we have come to the Qiangzhai burrow at the foot of the Bianliang Tianzi that is not where you live, you can talk leisurely and can't talk nonsense!" ”

As soon as Zhang Jing said this, the girls of Red Cloud, Green Apricot, Blue Plum, and Bai Xue started laughing.

Bai Xue glanced at Zhao Ji and said: "That's what the brothel does, but you have to give people money!" Brother Zhao, are you rich? If you don't have any money, then eat two taels of fireworks and go to the nest! ”

Zhao Ji's face was flushed by Bai Xue's words, like a chicken woman who had laid eggs, staring at Bai Xue and not knowing what to say.

The reason why Bai Xue damaged Zhao Ji was because this guy came all the way from Qingshichuan and didn't use words to tease her.

Bai Xue's girls used to do that line of work, but since Liu Min enlightened, taught, and learned to bandage and rescue the injured; has completely broken off the idea of Fang Ji's career, and wants to find a husband to start a family in the place where Ming Media is marrying.

Bai Xue was interested in Zhao Ji for a long time, but Zhao Ji, this kid, didn't realize it, but only didn't even talk about it; Bai Xue only took the opportunity to damage him once.

Zhang Jing saw Bai Xue's derogation of Zhao Ji, so he laughed out loud and said, "Zhao Ji pig's head, don't you still understand the meaning of Bai Xue's words?" The girl is interesting to you! ”

"Bai Xue is interesting to Zhao Ji!" Zhao Ji muttered in his mouth, and he couldn't help but walk towards Bai Xue; Bai Xue pretended not to see it.

Zhang Jing looked at Zhao Ji's stupid appearance and laughed, turned to Tian Jing and said, "Brother Tian, you go on!" ”

Tian Jing took a deep breath and calmed down, and said: "There are also the bustling places in Bianliang, such as the Royal Street, the Horse Market, the Jiang Store, the Blue Fish Market, the Clothing Shop, the True Incense Shop, the Jewelry Shop, the Pharmacy Shop, the Gold and Silver Exchange, the Commercial and Tax Firm Management Division, the Fabric Street, the Book Store, the Grocery Store, the Gold and Silver Shop, the Lacquerware Shop, the Zhouqiao Night Market, and of course, the five rivers that cross the city!" ”

Zhang Jing saw Tian Jing describe more than 20 major scenic spots and prosperous places in Bianliang, and said with a flash of inspiration: "Let's just have a new daughter-in-law and go to the kang!" ”

Zhang Jing used a post-break sentence, and his after-break sentence made the girls in Hongyun laugh.

Hongyun stood up and said, "Brother Zhang, you have to explain the sentence that the new daughter-in-law is on the kang, what does it mean!" ”

Lan Mei also picked up and said, "Why is Brother Zhang Jing called Meng Shangpu!" Could it be that you and Sister Cuihua are the ones who rushed to the kang, right? ”

Hongyun and Lanmei asked a strange question, Zhang Jing said "hey, hey, hey" a few times, and said a little embarrassedly: "The new daughter-in-law suddenly went to the kang to omit the procedures of those troublesome people in the middle, and directly entered the marriage stage; Go up to the kang! ”

Hongyun didn't relent: "Those programs were omitted in the middle, you have to explain it clearly!" ”

Grandpa Huo continued: "What Hongyun and Lanmei asked is a bit interesting, Shu Land belonged to the Qin State earlier; The marriage customs of the Guanzhong Plain were passed on, and the set of procedures before marrying a daughter-in-law was really cumbersome; If you can rush to the kang, it will save a lot of procedures! ”

Hongyun said with a smile: "What are the cumbersome procedures, Grandpa Huo, you can talk about it; So that when the buffalo brother marries his daughter-in-law, he will also come to the kang! ”

Grandpa Huo saw that Hongyun bit the radish and didn't change it, so he had to take the trouble to tell it.

The customs of Guanzhong and Shu people marrying new daughters-in-law are not the same, and there are generally such procedures:

The first is the proposal. That is, when men and women reach a certain age, parents should ask a matchmaker to propose marriage to their children.

Parents and children of both parties cannot meet each other when proposing, and it is all up to the matchmaker to agree.

The second is kinship. The parents of both men and women convey the eight characters of their child's birthday to each other through the matchmaker, and ask Mr. Yin Yang to calculate that it is "incompatible" and "not compatible"; For example, "the chicken and the monkey do not have their heads", "the dragon and the tiger do not get along", etc., are all mutually restrained marriages that cannot be accomplished.

The third is the ceremony, also known as the ceremony. On the premise that it is appropriate, the parties decide to enter into a marriage contract, and the matchmaker must send the ordered clothes and bride price to the woman's home, and there is also a first gift.

There are also two-way gifts and three-way gifts; The three-way gift is relatively simple, it is a bundle of cotton, a bundle of silk thread, and a mirror.

After giving the three-way gift, the man plans to get married, and he wants to invite the matchmaker to inform the woman's family; Ask the woman what other wedding items she needs and what other requirements she has; Commonly known as "dignitaries".

If the woman does not ask for permission to marry, Mr. Yin and Yang will choose the date; Regarded as an auspicious day.

The man and the woman preliminarily agree to enter into a marriage contract, and the woman's family members should go to the man's house to "see the house" in order to understand the economic situation of the man's family.

Once the woman has no objection to the man's family situation, the two parties will hold an engagement ceremony; After getting engaged, the New Year's festival should be exchanged with gifts.

The fourth is marriage, which is the last procedure to complete the major events of marriage; It is also the most important program.

Marriage is commonly known as marrying a daughter-in-law, and when the marriage date is set, the man will ask the elders of the family to preside over the marriage affairs; Discuss with the bride-in-law, marry a female guest, and discuss the wedding and wedding.

then set up a colorful shed and ask the chef to prepare a banquet and decorate the new house; He also sent two boxes for the woman to put in when the woman came.

The woman should send the female guest to sew clothes with her neighbors and prepare a dowry; Try on the wedding dress, comb your hair, open your face – thin your eyebrows with porcelain and twist your facial hair with a thread.

The close relatives and close friends of the man and the woman send congratulatory gifts to the man's family and "add boxes" to the woman to congratulate.

On the night before the wedding, the man should invite three young men with the surname to live together in the cave room and "step on the four corners", which is called "stepping on the room".

There are those who marry in a sedan chair, and there are also those who use ox carts and horse-drawn carts to marry.

Marrying a daughter-in-law pays attention to early marriage, that is, the bride must be taken home before dawn.

When the man goes to the woman's house to pick up the bride, he is accompanied by his own uncle, one or two female guests (mostly sisters-in-law), one or two escort children, relatives and friends.

When he left the man's house, the family set off firecrackers at the door; Then when you go out of the village gate, you have to fire a cannon at the cross, and when you enter the woman's village.

When they arrived at the woman's house, the male and female married guests sat in two places, and the woman made noodles for entertainment; And give a red envelope to a male and female guests, or a handkerchief to express gratitude.

During this period, the bride was cleaned and powdered and dressed under the care of the female guests; Change phoenix clothes and phoenix crowns, wear embroidered shoes, handkerchiefs, and hijabs, kneel to say goodbye to ancestors, and bow to father, mother, brother, and sister-in-law.

The bride was helped out of the house, and as soon as the firecrackers rang off at the door, the male and female brides immediately got up.

The bridesmaids hold a bowl in one hand with the bride in one hand, and the bride holds a pair of chopsticks in her hand; As soon as she walked out of the door, the bridesmaid broke the bowl in her hand, and the bride threw her chopsticks back; Then step on the hay, cross the fire, enter the sedan car or get on the car; There is also the custom of crying and marrying, and it is generally enough to cry outside the village.

If two families meet on the way to get married, it is considered to be a bad thing; The bridesmaids of both sides took out the bride's saffron and exchanged it to show that they did not interfere with each other and were safe with each other.
