Volume 1 Folk Thoughts Chapter 7 Joy and Joy

After Wang Dashi came into contact with Meixi, he gradually felt that she was gentle, graceful and considerate, and the more she looked at it, the more pleasing it was to the eye, Wang Dashi was a little ashamed at first, and then he became easy-going, but his only worry was that he felt that the girl was too good, and he felt a pity for his marriage, he often thought of the swan and the toad, and the plum blossom next to the pig pile, was the pig compost fattened the plum, or was the plum disgusting pig pile?

Once, Wang Dashi tried to persuade the girl to find a good family. The girl was cowardly, tugging at the corner of Wang Dashi's clothes, and refused to be coquettish.

Not long after getting acquainted, poems came out of the village and outside the village:

"Eighteen brides and eighty langs, with pale hair and red makeup. The mandarin ducks are made into a double night, and a pear flower presses the begonia. ”

It's just that this is not "white hair" and "pear blossom", it is Wang Dashi's ugliness and Meixi's beauty.

The girl also listened to the rumors in and out of the village, but she didn't seem to have seen a man, didn't know the ugliness, and sucked Wang Dashi, but the girl's parents didn't like to deal with it.

Soon, it was the stage of accepting the ceremony, and every time Wang Dashi gave a gift, the woman's parents only accepted the gift and never mentioned the marriage.

Even though Wang Lichang thought that the two were not suitable, he often thought about Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian who were told by the storyteller on the street corner, but he was wrong with this door, and he couldn't wait for the next temple.

After being dragged on for a year, Wang Lichang couldn't hold back the pain of gift-giving, and took Wang Dashi and the matchmaker to propose marriage, preparing to end the marriage in the second half of the year. When proposing, the girl's family asked for a lot of gifts and gift money, which was much more than the "bastard" when Wang Dashi first recognized his marriage.

Gifts and gifts cost a lot of money, as long as Wang Dashi can marry a daughter-in-law, no matter how much money he has, Wang Lichang will also spend it refreshedly. He believes that marrying a daughter-in-law like Meixi, who is both wise and beautiful, will be glorious and sweep away the humiliation.

After confessing their relatives and having a good day, after all the rituals and customs were completed, the girl's parents found a whole person (an old man with children and grandchildren, sons and daughters, fathers and mothers) and handed over all matters to the whole person.

Wang Dashi accompanied Wang Lichang to sell fields, cattle and pigs.

According to the rules, on the wedding day, the bride gets on the sedan chair at noon, and the bride is led by the whole person, with makeup, and the sedan chair of the man goes to greet him, and the bride changes to the sedan chair and passes through the door with the groom. This is not a local custom, but it is the sum of the bride's parents, called "one send and one welcome". After the man marries the bride, he is handed over to the village general (making ceremonies, holding accounts, supporting guests, arranging feasts, etc., commonly known as the chief manager. Most of these candidates are seniors with high seniority and old qualifications in their own family names) to preside over ceremonies such as worship, making holes, eating raw noodles, drinking jujube soup, and grabbing fruits.

Lao Chitose has been a general ruler in the village for nearly 40 years, and he only reads that Wang Dashi has not entered the village tree and genealogy, and is unwilling to help. Wang Lichang had to invite others, but the head of the village was afraid of the old Chitose and was unwilling to appear. Seeing that there is no candidate for the unification outside the village, I am afraid that the marriage file will be cut off and the wedding date will be delayed.

The general manager is the general manager, who coordinates all matters related to the wedding. The palm ceremony is the presiding officer, and the current accounts, expenses and other documents are trivial.

Today is the day of Wang Dashi's wedding, and the two brothers of Dafu, who are not serious in death, do the unification and palm ceremony for the first time, which makes Gu'anzhai Village explode, and the neighbors in the village and the village live next to each other and gather together. The old Chitose found Dafu right with a cane, and the crutches pointed at the bridge of his nose and wanted to poke it in, and said: "A person who rubs his bath and pinches his feet, who can't read a single word, actually dares to be a great unification?

Dafuku didn't spare him: "It's really unfortunate! You are not more than 100 years old, you dare to call yourself an old thousand-year-old? People are only 100 years old, turtles are only 1000 years old, you call yourself an old thousand-year-old, but you are just a turtle, and you are counting me here? I will pull a toenail to add a layer of cover to you, and let you make a double-covered turtle! Hahaha......

The villagers all know that Dafu's right mouth can eat, drink, speak, talk and shout, listening to him speak is like listening to a big farce, and he laughs at the "double-covered turtle" he said.

The old Chitose was so blushing that he didn't know what he could do, so he rushed to the ceremonial room to find Dafuzuo, and said: "Do you do the palm ceremony? And what etiquette do you know? Let me ask you, on the day of the wedding, how can you summon the gods to protect you? The bride and groom worship the high hall, and worship the sky, and worship the earth, who worships again, and who worships later? How do you do the horizontal and vertical criticism of the high hall? I ask you again, and do you know what the number of abacus is one in and one in return? How is it really reasonable for you to do the unification and palm ceremony, and you don't humbly ask me for advice?"

"In the southeast and northwest, there are green dragons, white tigers, vermilion birds, Xuanwu, the four great divine beasts, and the red horses lead to protect them. The bride and groom bow to the heavens, bow to the ground, and kneel down to their fathers and mothers. We are doing the ceremonial room, why don't we know the two catties and abacus beads, why don't we know the Wentou wedding card and the peach charm couplet?" Then Dafuzuo sang an authentic local pair song: "Heaven to earth, rain to wind." The thunder is faint and the rain is misty. basin on urine bucket. The blind woman ...... to the lame old man".

After Dafuzuo finished speaking, he opened his mouth and came to two couplets: "The red candle reflects the red spirit, and the white lotus and the white head." Butterflies fluttering among the flowers, and mandarin ducks swimming in the water ......"

Old Chitose nodded and sneered: "There are some tricks! I'll make a couplet, if you get it right, I'll serve you!"

Dafu Zuo is not knowledgeable, and he is afraid that he will be embarrassed, so he bows his head to show weakness, a cognacy and hypocrisy.

The old Chitose saw that he was almost crazy before, and he was acting hypocritically at the moment, and said word by word: "Wang Li's long family, in charge of the ceremonial room, Dafu Zuo, half crazy and half crazy, hypocritical, and his head is clasped to honor his guests." ”

Daifuku left can't come out, and the pen is brewing.

Dafuku is illiterate, but he deliberately wants to insult the nosy old Chitose, and said: "You insult my brother half-crazy, hypocritical, I think you are limping, deceiving the world and stealing fame, half-old and eighty, and want to rub the cave room!"

Old Chitose rushed and said: "Don't be foolish, talk about the pair, if you don't have the pair, you will have a scene!"

Wang Dashi thought to himself: "Dafu Right and Dafu Zuo brothers sincerely help to set up, not like the hypocrisy that Lao Chitose said, but Lao Chitose looked at me uncomfortable and deliberately found fault and demolished the scene." ”

The group thought that this couplet was interesting, and anxiously waited for the two Dafu brothers to solve the siege.

In fact, Wang Dashi said that it is not easy to marry, not to mention the scenery, you must be smooth, if you are smashed on the field, you may not be able to marry again in this life, he is in a hurry at the moment, and he said to the scene on the spot: "Gu'anzhai Village, marry a bride, old Chitose, limping, deceiving the world and stealing fame, wide clothes and rubbing the cave room!"

After saying this, there was a burst of laughter in the courtyard.

The old Chitose was so angry that his crutches smashed directly on Wang Dashi's head.

Wang Dashi's head was a red envelope.

He hated Lao Chitose the most in his heart, and at this time he wanted to theorize, and even wanted to do it, to vent all his humiliation and grievances...... However, he secretly swallowed this breath and said to himself calmly: "Don't be angry, don't be angry, I, Wang Dashi, have lived for more than ten years and endured for more than ten years, and I must not ruin a big thing because of this." I have ruined my marriage like this, and I have found a daughter-in-law again, and if I cause trouble at this juncture, I am afraid that it will be difficult to continue in this life. This is a time of concern, and you must not shoot yourself in the foot......!

In the end, Wang Dashi only glanced at the old Chitose timidly, and said: "I, I'm blind, just talking nonsense, if it becomes a couplet, it is also a blind pair......" Then, as if nothing had happened, he walked aside.

......

Daifuku Zuo doesn't make trouble, and he is not afraid of things, so he wrote out the pair, dipped it in paste, and pasted it on the back of the door. But when anyone saw it, they all laughed.

The old thousand years old is the old man of Gu'anzhai Village, respected the elders, full of knowledge, was ashamed of this, disgraced, and walked away arrogantly, and said when he left: "The elegance of the white snow in the spring is not worthy of the customs of the Riba people!" He was ashamed of himself, ashamed of a handful of white noodles in the ashes of the pot, and should not be mixed with the vulgar and stubborn rats like Dafu right and Dafu left!

Daifuku right and Daifuku left this is considered a "banner victory", it seems to have increased prestige, under his Zhang Luo, arrange the cave room, arrange the drum team, set up a feast, etc., everything is logical and in place.

At this time, a villager caught Wang Lichang to "make a happy father-in-law." ”
