The pomp and circumstance of this wedding banquet was very small, not to mention that a shed was simply set up in front of the door, and even the tables, chairs and benches were of different sizes. The dishes are not as good as a serious wedding banquet, not to mention four plates, eight bowls, four cold and four hot, and a large bowl of vegetable dumplings in the middle of each table is covered with two slices of meat.

This kind of meat slice is called "Tian Gai", which is the pork repeatedly marinated and cut with salt, so salty that people can't eat it. It's there for a look. There is no meat and no feast, and the poor people in the mountains and wilderness who live by farming do not have the ability to hunt wild animals, and they will not be able to get a bite of meat all year round. This "additional cover" will not be broken for a long time, so each family has a little bit to prepare, in case there is something that is ushered in and sent to it. Those who came to the wedding banquet also followed this tacit agreement and would not put chopsticks on the "cover".

Although it is a light diet, all the families in this willow village are gathered together, and the turbid wine is enough, and the smell of joy is everywhere. No one cared about the paper money burning in the brazier and the white bean hanging on the top of their heads.

Who lives in a village, who doesn't know that the widow of the white paper flower family is married back to a widow who wants to be a doorman.

The so-called "widowhood" refers to the fact that the two parties have set up their in-laws and have agreed on the wedding date with the dowry, but the embroidered clothes have not been done, and when the happy event is not completed, the man dies, and the woman is widowed. It stands to reason that this girl is not married, and she is still innocent, and the man she is engaged to is dead, and it is understandable that this girl will marry someone else.

But that's not how it goes. "Death by starvation is a small matter, but loss of festival is a big matter." Three from the four virtues, female training, female commandments, all make it clear that as a woman, you must start from the beginning, life is the husband's family, death is the husband's ghost, since you have already promised to marry someone, even if you have not passed the door, you can't marry someone else. If you remarry, you won't be a chaste woman!

And it is said that the widow of Wangmen has a hard life, and her life is bad, and she offends her husband. Such a woman, even if she doesn't want the chaste archway and is bent on remarrying, it is difficult to find a man who is willing to marry her. Most of them are lonely and old age. Some women with strong temperaments, when they heard the news of the death of the man Tianfang, committed suicide by hanging the beam on the spot, and they could also get the court's commendation and sympathize with their parents.

But most of the people who are a little more righteous can't bear to suffer such a sin from a girl's family. The woman's family returned the dowry in full, and the man's family did not publicize it, even if it could preserve the girl's reputation.

The white paper flower family, in fact, had to take the bride over.

The white paper flower is not called "white paper flower", but is called Qin's. This is the surname of her husband's family, and she doesn't mention what her surname is, so no one asks. This family is one of the few outsiders in this village. This Qin family was originally a young lady from a large family, and eloped here with a house slave. Fortunately, the husband is down-to-earth and hardworking, and with the help of the villagers for many years, he can be regarded as building a house and opening up a wasteland. Life is a little harder, but it also goes on like this.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, but this surnamed Qin was a short-lived ghost, and he left Qin and his five-year-old son behind and died. When the Qin family was desperate, they also wanted to go home to see, thinking that their parents could take in them, orphans and widows. But the Qin family, who didn't want to hold the child and beg to go home, was kicked out of the door by his own father. Since then, the Qin family has returned to the mountain village in frustration, becoming both a father and a mother, and pulling this child to grow up.

Later, when his son grew up to be nineteen years old, he didn't have a family affair yet, and the Qin family was anxious. She thought to herself, no matter what, she had to leave a trail of roots. So she reluctantly pawned a few pieces of jewelry that she brought out when she left home, looked for a poor family in Waizhuang, and bought a daughter-in-law and came back.

There are unpredictable circumstances in the sky, and people have good and bad luck. Qin's son didn't live long, but he fell when he went into the mountains to pick mountain goods, and a big hole fell out of his head, and the red and white dripped.

Qin's heart was sad, she was old, and her son died, she was really a lonely widow. In addition to grief, she also thought of the in-laws who had settled on her, and she discussed with others whether she could return the gift money, and she didn't talk about it outside, so that the girl could find someone else's home.

But the girl's parents were gone. The girl was raised until she was twenty-eight years old, and her parents hoped that she would be able to get married. The daughter is a money-loser, and she can neither show up to work, nor can she pass on the family lineage to inherit the heirs, marry out as soon as possible, and have one less mouth to eat at home. Now that the man is dead, and the mother wants to withdraw from the marriage, how can the girl's parents agree? What's more, if she were from another family, she might not have come up with so much money to marry a girl from her family.

The boss of the Qin clan was unhappy. She consulted with the girl's parents with kind words, but did not come up with a result. People just bit it to death, "the water spilled by the married daughter". It is difficult to collect the water, since this daughter is married, there is no reason to come back, even if she goes to the government, this girl still has to be sent to the Qin family. The family occupies a "reason" word.

That's done! Everything is according to the rules! Everything was done according to etiquette. The Qin family agreed to the marriage in one bite, and only made one request, that is, to advance the marriage. No matter what auspicious day of the zodiac, you must marry your new daughter-in-law before your son is buried!

Seeing that the Qin family was finally relieved, the girl's parents hurriedly agreed, hurriedly destroyed the wedding dress, rented a sedan chair again, and communicated with the other side, saying that they could come to pick up their own girl at any time.

But according to etiquette, this is not the end. Since ancient times, the widow has been most hated by her husband's family! Because if there is no such calamity star rushing to the court, then how can the bridegroom suffer from flying calamity for no reason? Since you want to enter the door of your husband's house, you must abide by the rules of your husband's house. The husband's family guessed that it was impossible for a good girl to endure loneliness, and he also wanted to make a way for her to obey the woman's way.

This method is called "closing the dirt". As the name suggests, it is to close and hide the filthy things, but in fact it is much more bloody and cruel. The so-called "closed dirt", to put it bluntly, is sewing yin! The gap between the two strands of the girl's house that is used to perform the Zhou Gong ceremony should be sewn to death with a needle and thread. This is said to be a form of etiquette, but it is clearly a form of torture.

Since then, the girl's monthly red dragon and usual defecation have been affected. Especially in the days when the wound has not yet healed, when I go to the toilet every day, I can't help but feel the pain! If it is not treated well, the wound is stained with unclean things and cannot be cleaned up in time, and it festers, which may kill the girl.

But the parents of the bride who are eager to marry their daughter can't take care of so much. Their own daughter, they couldn't bear to do it, so they found a stable woman, and did this "closed" etiquette before getting on the sedan chair, Huan Huanxi changed her daughter's clothes, stuffed it into the sedan chair, and carried it out of the door.

This is a wedding banquet and a funeral banquet. Everyone should not only happily make a fist, but also go to toast the Qin family with a sad face.

They all came in turns, one person went up to toast, compensated Qin for two words, wiped two tears, and then retreated and replaced the other. This wine, the people who come to toast want to drink it, and the Qin family can not drink it. Otherwise, so many villagers took turns to pour her one, even if it was a large amount of alcohol, it would not be able to stand it.

It was a man here who came to say a few words, lamenting what a good offspring the son of the Qin family was, and when he burst into tears, a young man rushed to lead a person over. He interrupted the Qin family and the man to toast sadly, and said, "Mother Qin, I found you the person you wanted." ”

Qin looked up at this person. With a wide forehead and big eyes, thoughtful eyebrows, and a dark satin-faced robe embroidered with a black python, he stood there like a strong pine, and his appearance was dignified! He had a banner in his hand. Qin recognized the word, which reads "Observing the wind and measuring the water, driving away ghosts and removing filth", and the word is crowned with a yin and yang fish, and he sees that it is a yin and yang gentleman!

This man looks young, but this line of work does not depend on age. Mrs. Qin hurriedly stood up and saluted the Mr. Yin and Yang: "I've seen Mr. I don't know the name of Mr.? ”

This person also didn't let the Qin family finish this ceremony and stretched out his hand to hold it: "The surname is Peng, Peng Xiuzhen." If you don't dislike it, just call me Brother Peng. Hearing them call you Mother Qin, I followed with a shy face. ”

"Good!" The Qin clan nodded again and again, "This mountain road is rugged, Brother Peng thinks it is abnormal, and I don't know if you are used to eating coarse tea and light rice in the mountains and fields, but I also invite you to enter the table quickly, let's talk about anything after eating." ”

"That's down, it's better to be respectful than to obey your orders." Seeing that this person was not like an ordinary mountain village woman between his words and deeds, Brother Peng paid more attention, and he listened to what people arranged.

When he entered the table, he was naturally greeted warmly. The mountain people are enthusiastic, and the people who come outside are high-ranking guests, and they can't be lazy. The mountain roads are rugged and closed, and it is very inconvenient to enter and exit, and in the past, outsiders who could come to this mountain were merchants, and they could bring sugar, needlework, ironware, and other things that could not be produced in the mountains, so they were very popular. Over time, the custom of entertaining visitors will usher in good luck.

The mountain people are simple, and after three or two glasses of wine, they opened the conversation box with Brother Peng, and after a few words, they made this matter clear. This little brother Peng nodded: "In other words, do you want me to find a good time and a good place to put Qin's mother's son to sleep?" ”

"Haha! Brother Peng's speech is worthy of being a person who has read books. The person at the table responded, "That's what it's all about." I don't know what Qin's mother thinks, I have to invite a gentleman to come, and I want to say, where did we farmers die, and we will be buried nearby. Brother Peng, don't be careful! I'm not saying this to run you, I mean to say, Mother Qin's family doesn't have much money, and the things she pawned have been replaced by a daughter-in-law...... You can do your best. ”

Hearing this, Brother Peng picked up a bowl of wine and walked in front of Qin's mother: "You are auspicious!" I've heard all about it, and since I'm here, there's no reason not to do things. It's too early to say, may I ask Mother Qin, Ling Gongzi, what is the birth and death? ”
