Chapter 168: Candle Night in the Cave Room
Under the witness of a large number of people, this hastily arranged recognition ceremony ended quickly, but the specifications were not low, and the entire Yingxian county had a head and face in front of the Hu Xu's invitation, all came to cheer.
Wei Hong's name was also counted in the ears of these people at this moment.
The county order that anyone can step on in the film and television only exists in the film and television, and the official has no right to speak when facing the above, but in his own one-third of an acre, he can definitely be regarded as a character.
As long as you straighten out the intricate relationships in your place, it is not difficult to live a nourishing life.
In short, this confession ceremony is the clearest in the hearts of the parties.
After eating this meal, the crowd dispersed.
When Hu Xu took Wei Hong's sisters and brothers back to Zheng Xiong's mansion again, Zheng Hu already knew that the ceremony of recognizing relatives had come to an end.
After a little discussion, Wei Hong's sisters and brothers officially moved out of the Zheng Mansion and went to Hu Xu's house to live temporarily.
No matter how dilapidated the county government is, the residence of the Hu Yi family is a little simple, but it is many times better than Wei Hong's thatched house, at least the face is there.
On the second day of the confession, Zheng Hu came to Hu Xu's county government with the purchased materials, and the back house where Wei Hong's sisters and brothers lived temporarily, officially started the dowry.
The letter of appointment, the letter of gift was sent along with the bridal gift, of course, a pair of geese throughout the entire marriage ceremony was indispensable, and Hu Xu received Zheng Hu and his party.
At the same time, the date of Zheng Xiong's request was officially finalized, that is, August 13, which Zheng Xiong had already decided.
In this way, the matter is over, but it is only a few days of leisure.
On August 11, Hu Xu's carefully prepared dowry for Wei Hong was sent to the Zheng Mansion.
Ten miles of red makeup, the dowry and the dowry sent by Zheng Xiong are not far behind.
The dowry is the foundation of a woman's foothold in her in-law's family, which means that I don't eat you, I don't drink you, and I have my mother's family to support me.
Since Hu Yi became Wei Hong's mother's family, the dowry he gave was quite rich, and a complete set of daily necessities was necessary, such as gold, silver, jewelry, silk and satin.
It doesn't matter if the thing is worth it or not, but the face of the nonsense is enough.
Even if it was the news that Zhiweihong and Hu Xu became brother and sister, when Zheng Xiong saw the dowry given by Hu Xu, he didn't say much.
Such a talent who does his best to keep himself busy before and after, who can bear to refuse.
On August 13, Zheng Xiong's injury on his buttocks was also healed, and on the bright side, Zhang Huaiyuan, the boss of Yanmen, and Wang Xing, the second-in-command, were quite face-saving.
On the day of Zheng Xiong's wedding, everyone gathered together.
In Zheng's mansion, Zheng Xiong was at the mercy of everyone.
Follow the customs of the villagers, in this Yanmen, it is his matchmaker Wang Xing who is responsible for welcoming relatives, and Zheng Xiong is waiting at home to deliver it to the door.
Wang Xing traveled all the way, and the entire Ying County was lit up with lights, and the sound of firecrackers continued.
Obviously, there are a lot of big people in the eyes of ordinary people in this county, and these people have heard the rumors, especially the matter of Hu Xu's sudden recognition of relatives has fallen into the ears of people with hearts.
Well-informed, they were prepared.
Hu Xu's house was crowded with people who came to congratulate at the moment.
When Wang Xing appeared, the guests who came were all solemn and respectful.
Those who knew their identity saluted to the king, and those who didn't know also stepped forward to express their respect after asking their friends.
"It's all scattered, today I'm just a matchmaker, coming to greet relatives, and there are any matters to be left for later."
"Please also ask everyone to make way and let me welcome the bride back, so as not to delay the auspicious time."
"I'll wait for this to give way."
Wang Xing's status is not comparable to nonsense, the grassland has been decided, and Wang Xing, who is the deputy of Yanmen, holds the power in his hands, but he is an absolute boss, and no one has any objections.
Make way for Wang Xing, and at the same time, the soul of gossip is burning, so that Wang Xing can be a matchmaker, and Hu Yu surrenders his identity to recognize his relatives, and he also has the curiosity of the identity of the master of many big people.
In the back house, Wei Hong wore a phoenix crown and a light red makeup, and under the cleaning up of a group of women, even if they were both women, they couldn't help but feel jealous.
When the sound of firecrackers came from the door, the women brought red hijabs to Wei Hong.
Walking out of the county office, Wei Hong got into a sedan chair, and Wang Xing led the welcoming team to turn back.
Several of Wei Hong's little brothers stood at the door, looking at Wei Hong in the distance, and a sadness rose in their hearts.
It's not life and death, but the heart is empty, and the brothers who have been pulled by Wei Hong since they were children really feel the taste of their most important person being snatched away.
Tears fell uncontrollably.
Some people consciously or unconsciously stayed to eat at the table, but some people wanted to blend into Zheng Xiong's circle and follow the team to welcome relatives.
However, when Zheng Xiong appeared, everyone was a little stunned, with Zheng Xiong's age being amazing, and thought that it was the son-in-law of which family came to have such a big face, and some faintly heard about it were also impressed by Zheng Xiong's age.
welcomed Wei Hong into the mansion, and all the people who wanted to blend in were blocked from the door, and it was not so easy for people who were not in a circle to squeeze in.
There is no invitation to talk, and Zheng Xiong also knows some officials in Yanmen, and just gives some invitations, and even Zheng Xiong's younger brothers are Yang Yitian and Li Si.
At the beginning of the worship hall, candles are lit, incense is burned, firecrackers are firecracked, and music is played.
At this time, the celebrant (i.e., the wedding celebrant) chanted: "The cigarettes are ethereal, the lights and candles are brilliant, and the bride and groom are in the flower hall." â
The newlyweds are in place, and the students chant "one worship heaven and earth, two worship the high hall (parents), husband and wife worship each other, and send them to the cave room", kneeling down in order.
After the ceremony, I walked into the cave room.
After a series of tedious rituals, it is finally harvest season.
With Zheng Hu outside, Zheng Xiong can't manage so much.
After a few glasses of wine, he went straight into the cave room.
Everyone didn't care, what can a young man who doesn't know the taste of meat blame, no matter how high his achievements are, he is still a child after all.
With this experience, he may be treated as an adult by everyone.
Leave a crowd of people to eat.
Zheng Xiong entered the cave room and looked at Wei Hong, who was sitting on the bed with a red hijab, and his heart was mixed.
In the past and present lives, it feels wonderful to finally take a wife.
Different from later generations, the foundation of family feelings is very important, you can get on the car first, cultivate feelings, and it will come naturally, and you can divorce if you are unhappy.
Now marrying a wife is a lifelong thing, unless there is really a discord and the man divorces his wife, and the woman really doesn't have that much right.
For example, if a man divorces his wife, as long as the woman commits any of the "seven outs", then she can be swept out of the house unconditionally.
The so-called "seven outs", that is, unfilial piety, childlessness, adultery, jealousy, evil diseases, excessive speech, and theft.
"There are seven ways for a woman to go: disobedience to her parents, childlessness, adultery, jealousy, sickness, talk, and theft."
Of course, the right of interpretation lies entirely with the man, and what the man says is the criterion, and the woman's unsatisfactory life can only be discussed with the man.
Li Qingzhao is the only one who is more famous, and it is the result of the righteous killing of relatives, and he still has three years in prison.
All in all, it was easier to divorce a wife in ancient times.
And there is no need to give any compensation, where did you come from?
Unless the woman meets the conditions of "three no-goes": there is no mother's home, and she is lonely; and the husband has been mourning for the in-laws for three years; and those who share weal and woe with their husbands.
"There is no place to return", "three years of mourning with more", "the former poor and the rich".
And "Hufu" requires more stringent conditions, at least if your husband has broken the law, such as killing someone, forcing a good person to become a prostitute, or something.
This era is a very good era for men, marrying a wife is a lifelong thing, and the choice of going to stay is still in the hands of the man.
Don't worry about women cuckolding themselves, in the era when chastity is greater than everything, the binding force is still sufficient.
To put it simply, a woman who marries into the door is basically bound and is the destination of her life from the beginning, unless there is someone in her mother's family.
Obviously, Wei Hong's maiden family is a lot worse, and the initiative is completely in Zheng Xiong's hands.
Under the reflection of the red candle, Zheng Xiong slowly walked towards Wei Hong.
Both of their hearts were pounding and colliding, and for the first time in their lives, both of them were a little nervous.
When Zheng Xiong lifted Wei Hong's red hijab, their eyes met.
Although there is not much emotional foundation, it is enough, and it is much better than some parents who have never met and have decided to be married.
Wei Hong's face at the moment, light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate enough to describe, a light makeup completely involved Zheng Xiong's mind, and he was a little stunned for a while.
Looking at Zheng Xiong in a daze, Wei Hong blushed his cheeks, as if he knew what was about to happen next, and whispered with a red face.
"Husband, husband."
Wei Hong's call brought Zheng Xiong back to his senses, and he couldn't help but quip.
"What the lady just said, I didn't hear clearly."
Although he already knew Zheng Xiong's personality, in the face of ridicule, Wei Hong still couldn't let go at the moment, and his voice was a little louder, but not much.
"Husband, why were you in a daze there just now?"
"Don't care why you're in a daze, I want to hear those two words now, and you can talk about it again."
"Husband."
"Hey, lady."
"Hmm."
A cordial salutation made the distance between the two a lot closer.
The overall situation has been decided, Zheng Xiong is not so impatient, and the TV is not in vain, he picked up the wine jug from the table, arrived at two glasses of wine, and came to Wei Hong.
"Lady, you and I have a drink."
On this happy day, Zheng Xiong's small request, Wei Hong can still meet it.
Pick up a glass and drink it all.
Zheng Xiong hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.
"Wait, it's not like that, let's have a toast, my hand through your hand, your hand through mine, come like this."
"That's not how you go, is it?"
"It doesn't matter if it's from the pre-Qin or the pre-Song dynasty, whatever you want."
A glass of wine, one of the marriage customs of the Han nationality, originated from the pre-Qin period.
After the bride and groom enter the cave room, they first drink half a cup, and then exchange them to drink dry together, which is called drinking a cup of wine, which is also called "ååš (jĮn)" in ancient times
In the Song Dynasty, the broken wine utensils were replaced by two wooden cups.
After the bride and groom drink together, throw the cup under the bed, if the two cups are one up and one together, it means that the man is on the back of the woman, the sky is over, and the yin and yang are harmonious, which is really a good thing.
And the etiquette of "together" was changed to "drink a glass of wine".
Zheng Xiong smiled evilly, the cup in later generations was still a little conservative, and it was worse than the ancient one.
The sense of ritual of life, the ancestors are very elegant.
It's much easier to do after drinking this.
Looking at Zheng Xiong's evil smile, Wei Hong was at a loss, the time was too short, and he hadn't had time to learn yet.
"Listen to your husband."
"Then do it all over again."
"Hmm."
Life should have a sense of ritual, starting from the beginning of the pre-Qin period, the former Song dynasty and Zheng Xiong's said that the cup has come again.
Wei Hong's face became more and more red, like a ripe red apple, which made people salivate.
But Zheng Xiong's amount of alcohol was really not good, and after barely drinking three glasses, he fell down in front of Wei Hong, and fell asleep in Wei Hong's arms.
Zheng Xiong's sudden move startled Wei Hong, but fortunately, after testing Zheng Xiong's snort, it was quite stable, and he was relieved.
had an experience, this time Wei Hong was quite calm, took off Zheng Xiong's clothes twice, and helped him to the bed.
Brought tea and served Zheng Xiong.
Time passed minute by minute, and Zheng Xiong showed no signs of waking up at all.
Suddenly, there were a few noises at the door, which startled Wei Hong.
"Second brother, what's the matter with you, why haven't you moved at all?"
On one side was Zheng Xiong, who was sleeping soundly, and on the other hand, there were a few people listening to the root of the wall, Wei Hong had to blush and say.
"Uncle, the husband fell asleep after a few drinks, you don't have to hide there and listen."
Eh, what do you drink if you don't know how to drink, you are given tea instead of wine on the wine table, and you don't have a point in your own wine volume.
Such a beautiful day, sleeping in bed, what a talent.
If you can't wait, you won't wait, Zheng Hu didn't get entangled, as a person who came over, he didn't have to listen.
"Then the second child bothered you to take care of it, I'll leave."
"Hmm."
I didn't hear what I wanted to hear, and the few people who listened to the root of the wall were a little interested, and returned to the banquet dejectedly.
Seeing a few people coming back, the people drinking tea asked.
"How's it going, what do you hear?"
"I didn't hear anything, the second child drank a few glasses, fell asleep, and didn't know when he woke up, so he came back first."
Well, it's sad that you let down this great time.
"That being the case, I have eaten and drunk this food, and I have drunk it, and I will leave it later."
"Everyone, why are you in such a hurry to leave!"
"No, no, it's a little late, farewell."
Everyone said goodbye one after another, Zheng Hu did not force him to stay, he gave face, and the money was collected.
I have eaten and drunk well, and I really don't want to stay, and I can't live in this house.
"Then I won't leave you, thank you for coming here to enjoy the light, it's an honor, please take it."
One by one, they said goodbye, including Zhang Huaiyuan and Wang Xing, and the entire Zheng Mansion suddenly became much cleaner.
Finally finished the second child's lifelong event, Zheng Hu breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he could be regarded as making up for his mistakes, and he had a chance to quibble when he went back.
The banquet on Hu Xu's side is almost over, and he can't enter Zheng Xiong's circle, but Hu Xu's door is open for these people.
finally got Hu Xu drunk, and they all set up nonsense words.
"Who is the main family this time, why is this marriage scene quite big?"
"That was the official in the same year, who was raised by the Huimin Pharmacy, and is now a DPRK and Central official of Zhengwupin, this meeting is not big."
Putting out the nonsense, everyone was relieved, no wonder the young age can make the people of this Yanmen willing to come here, and now everything makes sense.
got what they wanted to know, and everyone said goodbye and left, leaving the drunk nonsense alone.
On the other side, Wei Hong, who was taking care of Zheng Xiong on the side, didn't know how long it took to wait for Zheng Xiong, who woke up leisurely.
"Husband, are you awake, are you feeling better?"
"Okay, what's wrong with me?"
"Aren't you going to drink, and after three glasses of drunkenness, you got drunk."
A little embarrassed, Zheng Xiong hurriedly changed the topic.
"What time is it and how long have I been sleeping?"
"An hour or two!"
Wasted three or four hours, I really want to beat myself, I can't drink, drink a fart!
"Well, I'm drunk, you can go to bed too!"
"Hmm."
Even if the sound is like a mosquito, Zheng Xiong still hears it clearly.
immediately tinkered in the quilt, and then looked forward to watching Wei Hong lie down in his clothes.
The Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, I don't know how much gold has been wasted, the good night is short, and it takes time to live up to the time.
What I have learned is finally put to use today, and the spring breeze is surging in the room.
Early the next morning, Zheng Hu came to knock on the door early in the morning and shouted into the house.
"The dick is up."
Zheng Xiong, who was hiding in the quilt, didn't want to move at all, and shouted directly outside the door.
"Big brother, what's wrong, you know me, why are you calling me to get up."
