My name is Zhang Qicheng, the name of the departure is a doctor, he said that when my mother gave birth to me that year, it happened to be on the train to Jiangsu, and fortunately there was an obstetrician and gynecologist on the train before my mother gave birth to me. www.biquge.info My father was so grateful that he asked the doctor to give me a name. Because I was born on the road, I gave my name and set out. Anyway, I like the name.

My hometown is a small village called Sihong Bay in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, but I heard my grandfather say that our ancestors lived in Shenyang City, at that time it was not called Shenyang, it was called Fengcheng, at that time the war continued, our Zhang family moved to Jiangsu in order to avoid the war, and later Zhang Xueliang changed Fengcheng to Shenyang, and occasionally went to the Northeast to worship the ancestors.

I grew up in Jiangsu, but I was also full of curiosity about the things of my ancestors in Northeast China, and I would often pester my grandfather to tell me about his youth in Shenyang. How could I stop there, I really couldn't help my grandfather just tell two stories to fool me, but I still listened to it with relish. My dad didn't know much about my grandfather, which deepened my interest even more. On weekdays, grandpa doesn't like to talk about himself very much, but one day, grandpa called everyone to his side and told him about an unforgettable event in his life. This is what he experienced firsthand, and this is the origin of the story I want to tell you.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Northeast was very chaotic, there were many bandits, and the people of the Northeast called the horses because they leaned on the back of the horses to rob their homes. The officers and soldiers themselves are fighting in the south and Beidou, even if they suppress bandits, they can't suppress much, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, and the officials and bandits are their own family. Therefore, the life of the people is always in fear. The more war-torn the era, the more likely it is that some strange things will happen, and they all say that the family and everything is prosperous, and the national turmoil is naturally not very stable.

There is a family surnamed Zheng, which is also a big family in Fengcheng, and generally rich people like this hold weddings for their children earlier, and women have to marry at the age of seventeen or eighteen. Weddings are a first-class event in the local area, so there is a lot of attention paid to it. First of all, I will popularize it with you, pay attention to the "three teas and six ceremonies" when getting married, pay attention to the "three teas and six ceremonies", the three teas include tea, the tea is the "hundred fruits" when the man sends each other, which means a hundred years of good cooperation, and the tea is the man who marries with jujube lotus seeds, which means that the noble son is born early, and the two people drink together with a cup after the cave room, and the tea also means the same sweet (dry) and bitter. Six rites are not six kinds of gifts, it includes the general name of the various stages of the wedding, which can be summarized as six processes: Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nahui, inviting dates, and greeting relatives, but the first four are generally the man's tasks.

If the woman agrees, the man will ask the matchmaker to go to the woman's house to say goodbye, and if the woman agrees, the man will ask the matchmaker to go to the woman's family to get her birthday. The birth of the eight characters is an important threshold for whether men and women can be together, because the traditional men and women at that time did not kiss, which is like now let you fall in love freely, and whether you are in harmony or not depends on a paper book. That is, the birth year, month, day and hour recorded by the sexagenary branch will also see whether the zodiac is compatible, which is called "asking the name". After the man obtains the birth date, he will put it under the pillow for three days, and if there is an ominous thing in the family during these three days, it is extremely inconsistent, and it is not good to break a bowl. When everything goes well, the two parties will set the time, and the man will send the dowry gift according to the woman's requirements, which is Najib and Nahui. After the woman's family agrees, if it is generally smoother, the marriage date will also be decided at this time, and the invitation date is commonly known as "mentioning the date".

On this day, the old Zheng family also received a dowry gift from the man, and the two families were happy and set a date, waiting for the official marriage of their daughter in the next few days. At that time, my grandfather's father worked as a servant in the Zheng family, and the general family members would also have a number and a job name, and they called him Xishun. The day before the wedding, Mr. Zheng instructed his subordinates to buy some clothes for marriage, as well as materials for various arrangements. The whole family is busy up and down. Xishun's task is to follow the third aunt of the Zheng family to pick out some wedding dresses for the bride. The young man doesn't know this, so Xishun is at most helping to carry it back and do individual work.

The third aunt's vision is really good, the wedding dress she picked is very beautiful, so that these young men are already blind just looking at the wedding dress, when the clothes are packed up and walked halfway, the third aunt patted her head: "Hey, why did I forget to take the red hijab, you don't know to remind me, I only know how to eat and drink on weekdays, and I can't do anything serious!" The third aunt was too fierce, and the people didn't dare to squeak, so the two maids rushed to the store to get it. It was not too early to retrieve the red hijab, and the third aunt took a look at it and asked Xishun to put it up, Xishun took it and put it in the bag, and was about to lift it, when he suddenly felt that the bag was heavy, and he felt that the bag seemed to suddenly have more weight than a person, and he was stunned and didn't pick it up, needless to say, he was scolded by the third aunt for a while, but then he mentioned it, and it was easy and returned to normal. It's weird, maybe I'm too tired, Xishun thought to himself.

When we got home, everyone was busy all day, and the lively atmosphere became much quieter in an instant, and after dinner, the third aunt came to pick up the wedding dress for the young lady to try. The lady wears it and the size fits just right, and it looks even more charming. The family gathered around the bride and gossiped, after all, it was the last night of the girl's house, and it would be someone else's house after the door tomorrow. As the saying goes, the girl who marries out spills the water, and the parents are not happy and sad on the day the girl gets married.

The people went to bed early after dinner because they were busy all day, but Xishun didn't sleep for a long time, and kept muttering about taking a red hijab during the day. When it comes to the red hijab, everyone knows in their hearts that it is actually a piece of red cloth covering the bride's face, the bride was lifted by the groom, and before that, the other party did not know what the other party looked like, so many ugly rich people will find a substitute to marry, and they are opening it at night, and the woman sits in the cave room and thinks about how handsome she is when she describes it, and the moment she is lifted, she sees how ugly she is and how much she even has the heart to die, but marriage is something that you can't control, the matchmaker's words are the life of your parents, The red hijab has also become a terrible thing in the hearts of many brides. Fear that you will be lifted away, and what you see is what you don't want to see. Xishun also knows this in her heart, but she can only pray that her young lady will not encounter such bad luck.

It's already ugly, Xishun drinks too much at night, and it's convenient to get up. When I came back, I passed by the lady's room and saw that the lights in the house were still on, and I didn't sleep so late and got up early tomorrow to get on the sedan chair, but it was not good to go to disturb, and I looked twice and was ready to go back to sleep. Just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly heard a whisper in the young lady's room, and through the window, the figure of a bride was sitting in the young lady's room, and there was a red hijab on top of her head. Xishun was very puzzled, the young lady in the big night was still wearing a wedding dress, and this was not what the cave was doing with a red hijab? Xishun is afraid that Miss will have some accidents. Then he gently leaned in front of the lady's window, and saw the figure of the young lady sitting motionless on the bed, and kept muttering: "Red hijab, red hijab, lift my red hijab, and stay ......with you from now on" Because the voice was relatively small, Xishun only heard it vaguely, and he was still a little scared when he saw Miss like this, and said in a trembling voice: "Miss? Miss, rest early. The young lady stopped talking at this time, but did not respond to any other words, but sat quietly. Xishun still often sees Miss on weekdays, Miss is lively and cute, she is also beautiful, she loves to talk and laugh, why is she so strange tonight? Xishun as a subordinate is not good to stand in front of the lady's house for a long time, it is not good to be seen by others in the middle of the night, I think that the young lady also knows that tomorrow is going to get married and there are some abnormalities on weekdays, and it is understandable, or go back to sleep with me, and I will be busy tomorrow.

"Heeshun, what are you doing outside my room?" As soon as Xishun turned around, he saw that the young lady was walking towards him in her usual clothes. Xishun hurriedly turned around and looked inside the house, and there was no sign of anyone in the room. At this time, the young lady had already walked up to Xishun and pinched her waist to ask Xishun.

"I'm going to get married tomorrow, what are you doing on my side without sleeping in the middle of the night, don't make it clear, be careful I tell Daddy."

"Miss... Just now... I saw you just now..."

"What do you see? Don't be a fuss. ”

"Hey, maybe you don't believe it, even I don't know myself, I just saw you wearing a wedding dress in the house, and you are wearing a red hijab, I am curious..."

"Nonsense! I just got back from my second mother, you must be lying to me, I'm going to tell Daddy. "With that, he turned around.

Xishun saw that Miss lost her temper, and fell to her knees with a thud, "Miss, I really didn't lie, maybe I was hallucinating, you must not tell the master, otherwise my job will be difficult to protect." After speaking, he quickly buckled his head twice.

Miss snorted and laughed out loud, look at what scares you, I don't care about this little thing, hurry up. Tomorrow is my big day, and I don't want to cause anything upset. Hee Soon saw that Miss didn't blame herself, and stood up tremblingly.

"Okay, you go back, I'm so sleepy, Miss Ben is going to sleep." After saying that, he yawned again, pushed open the door and entered the house.

Xi complied and hurried back. Fortunately, the young lady is a good person, if she meets a master like the third aunt, Xishun will not be able to eat and walk around now. Back in the room, several people who lived together were sleeping deadly, and the snoring sound was louder and louder. Hee Soon climbed into his bed, but he couldn't sleep. The events of the day already made him scratch his head, and just now such a scene happened, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong.
