Chapter 275 Double Repair Ceremony ([-])

Chapter [-] Double Cultivation Ceremony ([-])
Although He Yuanying's real natal family now only has two elder brothers and sister-in-law, Hu Zhengying made the scene very big!

These distant relatives from ten miles and eight villages are close neighbors, as long as they are related to their He family, she will take them all as "first relatives", forming a mighty team to see off relatives!

The so-called "Shangqin" is a homophone with "Shangqing", which means respected status!It is a term unique to the Great Chu Kingdom, 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 a respectful title for all the relatives sent by the bride's family.
In the secular world of the Kamikaze Continent, the meaning of entertaining guests, giving gifts, and holding weddings is very rich!Lively and lively, sharing your own happiness and enhancing everyone's relationship is of course the main purpose of treating guests and giving gifts!
But there are also differences in emphasis. Most people’s family backgrounds are not rich, and the focus on money for treats and gifts is reciprocal, which has a great meaning of mutual assistance!

But for those who are not short of money, treat guests and give gifts, mainly focusing on popularity and face!
Some natal families, who are not close to the bride, send heavy gifts to the wedding just to sit in the east corner seat that only important people in the "shangqian" can sit!

Some wealthy families with small populations treat guests just for the sake of popularity. They are afraid that the guests will be in short supply, because they can’t participate because they don’t have gifts, and they even prepare generous gifts to send over. Please come and be a guest!

This kind of treat has to come, the so-called not receiving reward for no merit, you can't take other people's important gifts for yourself for no reason!
Hu Zhengying's treat this time is also for popularity!Of course, you can't let these people who are going to be relatives spend money, and they have prepared generous gifts for each of their families, which is equivalent to spending money to invite them to be "shangqin", and they can still get a generous gift from the Xia family!
It's rare to see such a good thing as a guest, especially being the most honorable "shangqin"!After all, there are not many rich people, and there are even fewer rich people who have such a good face!
For the poor relatives of He Yuanying's family, Hu Zhengying's such a treat this time was simply a blessing that fell from the sky, and everyone was beaming!

Dressed in their best clothes, with happy smiles on their faces, they played the role of "go-to" in the send-off team!

"Shangqin", in the eyes of the people sending off their relatives, is not just a respectful title, they come to send off their relatives, and it also means to show the strength of the mother's family, which can act as a deterrent, so that the in-laws will not dare to embarrass the new daughter-in-law in the future!
Under normal circumstances, when someone's daughter has a wedding, the selection of the "shangqin" is also quite strict. Except for the parents and brothers who are the legal candidates, among other cousins, it is not an easy task to become the "shangqin". things!

The general selection criteria for "Shangqin" are comparable to the imperial court's selection criteria for talents!For example, being highly respected, knowledgeable, eloquent, slick, bragging, etc., in short, you must have a skill!

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

Therefore, being selected as the "Shangqin" is a matter of pride in itself!
Although "Shangqin" exists as a deterrent, it mainly serves as a solid backing for the bride!
But it can't be a pure appearance, if you want to show the comprehensive strength of your natal family, you have to come up with some dry goods!
Their dry goods are not purely role performances, nor are they unreasonable troubles, but are targeted, mainly targeting some mistakes in the process of picking up the in-laws' family, making use of them to embarrass the team that is difficult to pick up!

For the "shangqin" who sent off their relatives, if they didn't find any problems with the pick-up team during the process of sending off their relatives, and if they didn't fail to stump the groom, it would undoubtedly be a failed send-off for them!

But for most of the brides, the consequences are even more serious, which means that the family members of the mother-in-law will not be able to stand on the stage, and the family members of the mother-in-law will not take the bride seriously, which can be said to be the beginning of suffering!
Once the sending team finds out the shortcomings of the in-law's family's pick-up team, it is equivalent to catching the shortcomings of the in-law's family for the bride, which can directly improve the bride's status in the in-law's family!

Therefore, many "going relatives" spare no effort to pick on the faults of the in-laws' family pick-up team!

The popular saying in the Kamikaze Continent of "picking the bone in the egg" actually has an allusion. It comes from the faults picked out by the "sister" when picking up the bride!
But this story is quite indecent after all, it is only spread among the mountains and fields, and there is no record in the books!

It was about a well-educated rich girl who fell in love with a talented poor scholar.There is a lot of enthusiasm for "not marrying unless you are a king, and not marrying a non-qing"!

The woman's family obviously couldn't resist her daughter's pursuit of life and death, so they could only agree to her daughter's request and marry him to the poor scholar.

But the woman's family was dissatisfied after all, so they chose a lot of tricky and weird "shangqin", preparing to make things difficult for the man when they received the marriage, so that the scholar's family would lose face!

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

The scholar was already very shrewd, he had anticipated this situation long ago, and made careful arrangements, all the people who arranged to pick up the relatives were his classmates and friends, they were knowledgeable and reasonable, and they did not leave any flaws in their work!
After receiving the letter from his fiancée, the scholar immediately came up with a countermeasure, which was to invite a good bridesmaid!This best man is not only a classmate of the scholar, but also the son of the county magistrate!

This county magistrate is an upright official. Although his son is young and unrestrained, he does not have the arrogance of an official's son at all. bridesmaid.

Not to mention that the best man has arranged things properly, he really can't fault him!Even if they could pick out the faults, these "superior relatives" would not dare!
As the saying goes: "The poor do not fight against the rich, and the people do not fight against the government!" Not giving face to the county magistrate will make his son unable to step down.

The bridesmaid who sent the bride off was also a close friend of the daughter's boudoir. Seeing that the girl liked the poor scholar very much, naturally she would not come forward to find fault with the scholar!

Seeing that the wedding reception team has entered the man's house, no one has found a problem that will not offend the county magistrate's son, but also make the scholar's family feel uncomfortable!

Once the "sisters-in-law" sit at the wedding banquet, they can no longer be awkward, that is a taboo!
Therefore, they don't have much time to find faults, and those "superior relatives" are sweating profusely!

The treatment of "shangqin" is very high. In Xiangzhou Prefecture, the treatment of "shangqin" is the same, which means that this is the best hospitality!
