Chapter 279: Double Cultivation Ceremony (3)

Although He Yuanying's real mother's family now only has two brothers and sisters-in-law, Hu Zhengying made the scene very big!

These distant relatives in ten miles and eight towns are close to each other, as long as they are related to their He family, she will all take them over as "relatives", forming a mighty team to send relatives!

The so-called "Shangqin" is homophonic with "Shangqing", which means that the status is respected! It is a noun unique to the Great Chu State, and it is only used in weddings!

The original meaning refers to the bride's parents, brothers, and other close relatives, and later it is an honorific title for all the people who send relatives to the mother's family.

In the secular world of the Kamikaze Continent, the meaning of hospitality and gift-giving is very rich! Lively and lively, sharing one's own happiness and enhancing everyone's feelings are of course the main purpose of hospitality and gift-giving!

But there are also differences in emphasis, most people's families are not wealthy, and hospitality and gifts focus on money, gifts are still exchanged, and there is a great sense of mutual assistance!

But for those who are not bad for money, the main thing is to focus on popularity and face!

Some mothers' families are not close to the bride, and they give heavy gifts to attend the wedding, just to sit in the east corner of the important person in the "upper family"!

Some people are thin rich people, the treat is for popularity, they are afraid that the guests will be poor, because there are no gifts can not participate, and even prepare a rich gift to send over, please come and be a guest!

This kind of treat can't help but come, the so-called merit is not unacceptable, and you can't take other people's heavy gifts as your own for no reason!

Of course, we can't let these people who are relatives break the bank, and they also prepare generous gifts for each of their families, which is equivalent to spending money to invite them to be "relatives", and they can also get rich gifts from the Xia family!

It is rare to see good deeds in this way, especially to be the most honorable "relatives"! After all, there are not many rich people, and even fewer rich people have such good faces!

For those poor relatives of He Yuanying's family, Hu Zhengying's treat like this time is simply a good thing that fell from the sky, and everyone is beaming!

They are dressed in the best clothes, with happy smiles on their faces, and play the role of "relatives" in the send-off procession!

"Shangqin", in the eyes of the people who sent relatives, is not only an honorific title, they come to send relatives, but also show the strength of the mother's family, which can play a deterrent role, so that the mother-in-law's family will not dare to embarrass the new daughter-in-law in the future!

Under normal circumstances, whose daughter does a happy event, the selection of this "upper relative" is also quite strict, in addition to the parents and brothers are the legal candidates, among the other cousins, can become "upper relatives", that is not a simple matter!

The general selection criteria for "superior relatives" are comparable to those for the imperial court in selecting talents! For example, they are highly respected, knowledgeable, able to speak well, exquisite, bragging, and so on.

Although the family sending team does not need to bring emergency talents such as "chicken and dog thief", it must also be able to show that the mother's family is full of talents, so all talents from all walks of life will bring some.

Therefore, being able to be selected as a "parent" is a proud thing in itself!

Although the "upper family" is used as a deterrent, it is mainly to act as a solid backing for the bride!

But it can't be pure goods, if you want to show the comprehensive strength of your mother's family, you have to come up with some dry goods!

Their dry goods are not simple role performances, nor are they vexatious, but targeted, mainly for some mistakes in the process of receiving relatives from their mother-in-law.

For the "relatives" who sent off their relatives, if they did not find any problems with the kissing team in the process of sending relatives, and they could not stump the groom, this would undoubtedly be a failed send-off for them!

For most brides, the consequences are even more serious, which shows that the mother's family is not allowed to be on the stage, and the mother-in-law's family does not take the bride seriously, which can be said to be the beginning of suffering!

The team of sending relatives, once the problem of the in-law's pick-up team is found, it is equivalent to grasping the shortcomings of the mother-in-law's family for the bride, which can directly improve the status of the bride in the mother-in-law's family!

Therefore, many "relatives" spare no effort to find fault with the in-laws' family pick-up team!

The popular saying of "picking bones in eggs" in the kamikaze continent actually has an allusion, which comes from the fault picked out by the "upper relatives" when picking up relatives!

But this story is quite indecent after all, it is only circulated in the mountains and wilderness, and there is no record in the books!

It is said that there is a rich girl who is knowledgeable and reasonable, and she falls in love with a talented poor scholar, and the two of them are in love with each other, and they vow to be in alliance!

The woman's family obviously couldn't resist her daughter's search for life and death, so she could only agree to her beloved daughter's request and marry him to the poor scholar.

But the woman's family was not satisfied after all, so they chose a lot of tricky and eccentric "relatives", ready to make it difficult for the man to pick up the kiss, so that the scholar's family would lose face!

As the saying goes, "Girls are outgoing!" When the scholar's fiancée got the news, she sent her maid to report the news!

The scholar was already quite shrewd, and he had long expected this situation, so he made careful arrangements, and all the people who arranged to pick up his relatives were his classmates and friends, who were knowledgeable and reasonable, and did not leave any flaws!

After receiving the letter from his fiancée, the scholar immediately came up with a countermeasure, that is, to invite a good concubine! This concubine is not only a classmate and friend of the scholar, but also the son of the county magistrate of this county!

Although his son was young and dashing, he did not have the arrogance of the children of the eunuchs, but was modest, well-versed in etiquette, responsive, and enjoyed high prestige among his classmates, so he was invited by the scholar to act as a bridesmaid.

Not to mention that this male bridesmaid arranged things properly, he really can't find fault! Even if he can find fault, these "relatives" don't dare!

As the saying goes: "The poor don't fight with the rich, and the people don't fight with the officials!" After all, the father-in-law of this male bridesmaid is the parent official here, and that is "the county order of the broken family!" No matter how rich the woman's family is, she will not dare not give face to the county order, so that his son will not be able to step down.

The bridesmaid who sent her relatives was also a close friend of her daughter's boudoir, and she saw that the woman liked the poor scholar very much, so she naturally would not come forward to find fault with the scholar!

Seeing that the pick-up team has entered the man's house, no one has found a son who not only offends the county order, but also makes the scholar's family uncomfortable!

Once the "relatives" sit at the wedding banquet, they can no longer find fault with each other, that is taboo!

Therefore, they don't have much time to find faults, and those "relatives" are sweating profusely one by one!

The treatment of the "relatives" is very high, and in Xiangzhou Mansion, the treatment of "dotting the relatives" is the same, which means that this is the best hospitality!
