Chapter Seventy-Three: Talking about the bride and groom at night

Bai Ling is very good at association. She held Fang Ming's hand tighter, as if she was the woman who was lost in the forest.

Fang Ming stroked Bai Ling with both hands and his whole body. He wants to give more warmth to his wife.

"How did the names 'groom' and 'bride' come from?"

Bai Ling asked as she swayed her body.

This goes back to ancient times.

"There was a young man named 'The Bridegroom,' who was intelligent, kind, and versatile. Whoever asks him a question he doesn't understand can get a satisfactory answer. In order to help more people, he posted a couplet at the door of his house: ambition is not old,

There is no ambition to live a hundred years old.

One day, three businessmen passed by and were very unconvinced when they saw this couplet from the bridegroom. They felt that they were so knowledgeable that they had to test the bridegroom.

"When they found the bridegroom, one of them would make a ball the size of the sun, and one of them would make a bowl for all the sea, and one should weave a cloth that would cover all the roads under heaven. Ask the groom if he can help. The groom agreed and said that he would pick up the goods in three days.

Just after three days, the three guests shouted before they could enter the door: "Groom, are we ready?" ”

The groom greeted him with a smile: "All my preparations have been made, and I am waiting for you to provide data." First guest: What is the size of the sun? I would like to ask the second guest: How much sea do you say? I would like to ask the third guest: How long is the road you are talking about? ”

The three were dumbfounded by the groom's question. They immediately changed their tune and said, "No, no." ”

At this time, the bridegroom smiled and said to the three guests: Please do me a favor, I want to buy the "six certificates", I heard that you are well-informed......

The three businessmen had never heard of the "six certificates". They were embarrassed to ask what the "six certificates" were. But he said, "It's easy to say." ”

The three businessmen said goodbye to the groom and asked as they walked, and I don't know how many people were inquired, but none of them knew what the "six certificates" were.

One day, they came to the foot of a scenic mountain. It just so happened that a fairy-like girl came out of the cave. They hurriedly asked the girl about the "six certificates".

The girl laughed when she heard it, and my family has "six certificates". So saying, he brought out six things to them:

"Scissors, combs, mirrors, buckets, scales, and abacus."

I only heard the girl explain: "Tailoring, scissors as evidence, combing hair, combing as evidence, appearance and dressing, mirror as evidence, how many catties, scales as evidence, measuring rice and noodles, bucket as evidence, settlement accounts, abacus as evidence." ”

When the three businessmen heard this, they hurriedly asked, "How much money are these six certificates worth?" We bought them all. ”

The girl said, "I don't want any money, I'll give it to you." But tell me who asked you for these things. ”

"A man named the bridegroom."

The girl smiled: "If there is anything in the future, you can come to me." ”

"We don't know the girl's name yet." The three guests hurriedly asked.

The girl said generously: "My name is Chen Niang." ”

The three merchants gave the "six certificates" to the "groom". The bridegroom asked the reason and immediately wrote a letter: "When I want to go west, the vegetables are in the garden, the water is in the stream, there is rice at home that no one cooks, and there is a pillow on the bed and a wife." ”

The bridegroom then said, "Trouble three, please forward this letter to Chen Niang." ”

When Chen Niang saw the groom's letter, she immediately replied: "There are no beams in the house, no purlins and no walls, warm in winter and cool in summer, and a natural stone wall." ”

When the bridegroom saw Chen Niang's reply, he immediately understood everything, and he arched his hand and said:

"Thank you, three, I know what to do."

The groom immediately packed up and went to find Chen Niang. The two fell in love at first sight and became married in the cave. The two are like glue, and they hate to see each other late.

The "groom" said: Chen Niang, we are all a family, so you can change your name to "bride" according to my name. This Chen Niang readily agreed.

This is the origin of the "groom" and "bride", and it is also the source of the "three media" and "six certificates" in our marriage.

Bai Ling was in Fang Ming's arms, listening to it like a drunken man. She looked up at the clock on the wall and said, "Husband, it's time for us to make dinner." I reckon there will be guests coming tonight. ”

"Who could it be?" Fang Ming asked rhetorically.

"My roommates, Lao Qi and Lao Jiu, haven't shown up yet."

"Really? Okay, cooking. White Peony, I remember just letting you eat, and now you're hungry again? ”

"What just eaten? It's been five or six hours. Bai Ling pointed to the wall clock on the wall and said.

Fang Ming grimaced and said seriously, "Isn't it?" I seem to remember that you just had a snack. And it's not too little to eat. ”

Bai Ling's face flushed, and she raised her jade hand with a smile: "Can you say something?" ”

Fang Ming grabbed Bai Ling's hands, and with just a light press, he pressed Bai Ling's hands behind Bai Ling's back. He stared at Bai Ling with both eyes, and said with a smile: "Everything I say is human talk, and everything I do is personnel." ”

Bai Ling was just about to open her mouth to refute, but before she could say anything, she was blocked by Fang Ming. Fang Ming tightly hugged Bai Ling's waist with one hand and Bai Ling's back with the other. Bai Ling also stretched out her hands and hugged Fang Ming's neck tightly, and then the husband and wife had a happy battle......
