Chapter 46: The Wedding
Wang Lang looked at the two people who were talking and laughing away from the crowd, and said with a smile: "Fanxing, what do you think we should celebrate for the two of them at night?" ”
"Why celebrate?"
"Don't you think it's a very memorable event?"
Fanxing shook her head, she didn't think there was anything to celebrate, isn't it normal for the two to combine to have a child?
Seeing that Fanxing was a little unimpressed with her proposal, she knew what she was thinking, Wang Lang sighed lightly and said: "In the past, people could combine with anyone from other tribes, that was because the tribe could accommodate a limited number of people, and the people of the same clan were all related to themselves, these people naturally could not combine to have children, and people of foreign races, the tribe would not accept them, so there was such a tradition as before, and now, our tribe is eager for other tribes to join, you think about if many people from different tribes live together, How to distinguish people with similar bloodlines, if you still follow the original way, it won't be long before everyone's blood relationship will be chaotic. ”
Wang Lang paused for a while and continued: "I let them unite as husband and wife, so that the children they give birth to can determine their parents, instead of only knowing the mother and not the father, our next generation can choose their spouses through different parents, so that the generation will be passed down from generation to generation, and the number of our tribe will not be lost, and the tribe can find out." ”
Fanxing didn't expect this husband and wife system to have such a profound meaning, frowned and thought carefully for a while and said: "Lang, your eyes can see where we can't see, what you say makes sense, but this matter is not worth celebrating!" ”
Wang Lang smiled and said: "The matter of becoming a husband and wife is as important as sacrificing to the gods, without the union of two people, where can there be a new life born, the celebration ceremony will be passed down as a custom, everyone must celebrate when they become a husband and wife, if we don't pay attention to this matter from the beginning, after we die, our descendants will repeat the previous customs, after all, people will die." ”
Fanxing tilted his head and thought for a while, and said, "Lang, are we husband and wife?" ”
Wang Lang almost didn't catch his breath when he choked on this sentence, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, a large part of the reason why he wanted to confirm the marriage relationship so quickly was that he didn't want to be green.
"Of course we are husband and wife!" Wang Lang said solemnly.
"And we're going to celebrate too?" Fanxing asked.
Wang Lang shook his head and said: "We are in a different situation from them, I told you a long time ago, you can only belong to me, at that time we were husband and wife, two people will sleep together after becoming husband and wife, to celebrate the red fish and Jianya, is to tell people, men don't go to find red fish, women don't go to find Jianya, we don't need to tell other people, because we have always been like this!" ”
Fanxing said "oh", although he understood what Wang Lang meant, but he didn't know why he had a small sense of loss in his heart.
Later, Wang Lang gathered his people together and told them that the union of the strong tooth and the red fish would be celebrated in the evening, and the reaction of the people was no different from when the stars heard it, and they were a little unimpressed by it.
Wang Lang didn't explain anything to people, he didn't plan to ask for other people's opinions on this matter, but just told people that sometimes Yiyantang is indeed the most efficient way.
At dusk, people gather around the campfire to witness the world's first wedding.
The reason why he chose to do it at dusk was that Wang Lang felt that since it was a wedding with a dusk character, it was a very commemorative thing to hold it at dusk.
Looking at Jianya and Hongyu, who were a little nervous standing in front of him, Wang Lang said, "Lin Jianya, Heihongyu, are you two sure you want to become husband and wife?" ”
Jianfang and Redfish looked at each other and said, "We do!" ”
Wang Lang nodded and said, "Okay, then you have to remember that after becoming a husband and wife, you can't pursue other members of the opposite sex, understand?" ”
"Yes, we understand!" The two said.
"In this case, you will be married under the witness of the gods of heaven and earth, and Lin Jianya's black and red fish will now cut off a section of your hair and tie it together."
Jianya and Hongyu's nervous brains were blank, and Wang Lang did whatever he wanted, and he didn't care why he did it.
The two people took the tin dagger handed over by Wang Lang, cut off a short piece of their hair and held it in their hands.
"The two of you will tie your severed hair together, which means that you will be one in the future."
The two looked at each other's hair, clumsily tied the two pieces of hair together, and Jianya held the tied hair in his hand, not knowing what to do next.
"Marriage is a sacred thing, you need to tell the gods that you are married, and now you two kneel down and bow to the gods of heaven and earth."
After the two worshipped heaven and earth, Wang Lang asked them to worship husband and wife, and since the two had no parents, Wang Lang omitted the second worship hall of the traditional three prostrations in another world.
After the ceremony was completed, Wang Lang, as the patriarch, said a word of blessing to the gods.
Looking at Jianya and Hongyu, Wang Lang said: "You will be husband and wife from now on, you will have to endure hardships together, share happiness together, and raise your children together, understand?" ”
The solemn and solemn atmosphere is on par with the sacrificial gods, so that everyone dare not take a breath, and the two of them who are the parties are even more nervous at the moment, and their hearts are about to jump out, as for what Wang Lang said, he doesn't know at all, he only knows how to nod.
Wang Lang nodded and said to the others: "Everyone must also remember that from now on, you must not harass men and women who have husbands or wives, husbands and wives are blessed by the gods, don't offend the gods, everyone must remember this." ”
In everyone's hearts, the gods are supreme, and those who offend the gods will not be able to go to another world after death, and they will be excluded by everyone when they are alive, and no one has the courage to offend the gods, after Wang Lang finished speaking. Everyone nodded heavily.
"In the future, every married couple will perform this ritual, and for the sake of convenience, I will call it dusk, which means the ritual at dusk."
Wang Lang hopes that when he is still alive, he will establish people's ethical and moral concepts as much as possible, and he does not want his tribe to become a barbarian state where a brother marries a sister-in-law and a son marries a mother.
