Chapter 21: Check the auspicious days of the zodiac
Lao Liuxin called Xinglan and said, You are not young either, I plan to prepare a little gift to go to Glass Village to find Han Xusong to see a good day, and marry the daughter of the Mu family, how do you feel?
As soon as she heard that she was going to marry a daughter-in-law, Xinglan's heartbeat was inexplicably faster, and her face turned red.
Seeing this, Lao Liuxin smiled slightly and said: What's the matter, are you still shy?
Xinglan blushed noncommittally and nodded.
In this way, the father and son decided to invite someone to watch the day and marry a daughter-in-law.
Early the next morning, Liuxin prepared two big red roosters, two carp tails weighing two catties, two catties of red cane sugar, two bags of old dry roasted tea, two bottles of sorghum burning, and now two pieces of ocean. Together, the gifts are six, the local for auspiciousness, the marriage to see the day is called "check the day", all the days of the most solemn is to see the days of marriage.
Therefore, the family that wants to marry will prepare rich gifts, which are generally even-numbered, and there is generally no such thing as leaving a letter to shoot two oceans.
You must know that at that time, the poor people couldn't save more than two oceans after a year of exhaustion and exhaustion.
Han Xusong was born in a family that watched the days, anyway, since he can remember, his grandfather has been showing people the days, and later after his grandfather passed away, his father continued to watch.
After his father had a stroke a few years ago, he took up the technology again. Because his grandfather and father taught him the five elements of yin and yang since he was a child, and he learned a lot over the years, so he has heard and seen a lot of them, so he looks very handy.
Relying on this craft, the family has already reached the level of being well-off. At least there is no shortage of chicken, fish, wine, sugar and tea every day, and it cannot be used every year, not to mention the gift money.
There is a local saying that how the two live after they get married, whether they are prosperous or not, is directly related to the day they watched.
Han Xusong saw that the gift brought by the old letter was so rich, so he picked up the present ocean in the gift bag and put it to his ear to blow, and then put it to his ear to listen to the sound of the ocean, looking very satisfied and intoxicated.
Lao Liuxin looked at Han Xusong and didn't say anything, just waited patiently, he was originally a humble character, not to mention that he had something to ask for someone now.
Han Xusong took out a yellowed old yellow almanac, put on flat glasses, and made a pedantic look.
took the birthday of Xinglan and the girl of the Mu family brought by the letter, and began to slowly look through the yellow calendar, the fingers of his left hand were still pinching and calculating the ......, and he was holding a brush in his right hand to write something on it.
After a long time, I picked up two pieces of cut red paper and wrote on them the days of the check, as well as the matters that should be paid attention to when both men and women are checked.
After writing it, he handed over the two pieces of red paper to the old letter, and at the same time said: On this day of today's check, these two children can live a big life, and a big day is the meaning of being rich and good in the future.
Liuxin looked at the red paper and saw that the day of the check was really a big day, September 9 next month!
There are two days to check, one is given to the in-laws, called the delivery date.
The other one is kept at home.
But seeing the precautions, Lao Liuxin frowned slightly.
Han Xusong frowned when he saw Liuxin, and said: According to the eight characters of the birthdays of these two children, if you check the date, you will have to wait until the Dragon Boat Festival next year. But you said that you are anxious to have a child to marry.
But it's nothing, Daddy Cha wants a month, that is, a month's time, and it will pass quickly.
It is implied in the book that the day of finding out the marriage is found out from numerology according to the relationship between the five elements, if it is the day when the relationship is found out, this is called the day of the moon, and the opposite is called the day of the month.
Because the moon and day are found out by the relationship between the two sides, there is still a certain way to crack it in reality.
For example, in order to crack this one for Xinglancha today, this good day is called "Daddy Month", that is, after marriage, whether Xinglan or daughter-in-law, you can't see the father-in-law and mother-in-law, if you see each other in this month, it will indicate that it is not good for both parties, so as long as you find this daddy month, you will strictly abide by the restraint yourself, and the newlywed two will not meet with the father-in-law.
In addition to numerology, there is also a day according to the palace check, only numerology and the palace are smooth, this day is the great shun.
Xinglan and the Mu girl's palace also have a small matter that needs a little attention, that is, on the night of marriage, Xinglan has to carry a burden on her back, circle around the wall of her house three times, and after the turn, she asks the new daughter-in-law of the cave house three times outside the gate: Do you keep guests, do you want to keep guests?
If the bride answers to stay, and the groom enters the house, the small obstacles in the palace are solved.
If the bride answers no!
Then the groom will run away from home with the burden on his back, and come back in three years to ask questions.
If you don't stay, if the bride doesn't stay, just leave it.
Although it sounds a little absurd, this is indeed some of the local people's attention to red business such as marriage, which is also part of the traditional folk culture.
And there are many places where this custom is still the case!
Although the book says: Ding is Ding, Mao is Mao! When is the church dozens good.
But getting married is a lifelong event after all, and no one wants to take that unnecessary risk with their lives.
So this feng shui master still exists to this day, and Han Xusong's Nth generation grandson is still making a living from it......
After the old man left a letter to thank Han Xusong, he went home and began to prepare to send a day to his in-laws, Lao Mu's family, to prepare for Xinglan to marry......
But after Xingting returned to the county, there was an endless stream of patients who had saved up, and they were busy every day.
That afternoon, the county magistrate Fu sent someone to invite him to his house for dinner in the evening, and asked him to bring a box for the visit, but he did not say who he wanted to see.
When Xingting finished watching the last patient, it was getting dark, so he packed up the outpatient box, locked the door of the consultation room, and went to the county office, muttering in his heart as he walked: Who is this going to see? ……
If you want to know how to listen to who the county magistrate Fu went to to diagnose the disease, and listen to the next decomposition!
More exciting next time!
