the last witcher

After Yuanyuan forgave Hongtu, things began to develop in the direction that Yuanyuan's parents first discussed with Hongtu's mother, and a grand wedding was imminent.

When telling this passage, I found that Yuanyuan's eyes were full of happy memories.In addition to sighing helplessly, I seem to be sighing.

After all, I am a wedding company myself, and I am familiar with all kinds of wedding customs and various forms of weddings, but as far as I am concerned, whether two people live happily has nothing to do with the grade and cost of the wedding. money relationship.But in business talk business, I still hope that more couples spend more money on their weddings, so that I can earn more, hehe!

At this point, it is necessary for me to explain the wedding ceremony in Chinese studies to the readers, and it should be popularized knowledge.

Wedding is the etiquette of the ancients about marriage, which is a kind of Jiali.Marriage has been a major event in life since ancient times, so weddings were a very important etiquette in ancient times, and they should not be sloppy at all.

In the Zhou Dynasty, China had already formed a complete set of wedding ceremonies, which were regulated in detail in "Rituals".

Let's put it simply, the whole wedding can be divided into "three books and six rituals".

The three books refer to the letter of appointment, letter of ceremony and letter of welcoming relatives.

The six rituals refer to the six general steps from marriage proposal to marriage.Specifically divided into: The first is Nacai, that is, the man's family entrusts a matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman's parents, which is commonly known as "matchmaking".Don't we always watch TV dramas: the words of parents' orders and matchmakers?

Because Nacai is not just empty talk, but a real gift to the woman's family.In the pre-Qin period, wild geese were used as gifts, which was passed down to later generations, and sheep, deer, donkey-hide gelatin, and pampas grass were used as gifts.Like the so-called engagement meal in Northeast China, it is simply an acceptance ceremony.

The second is to ask the name. If the woman accepts the gift when accepting the lottery, it means that she has agreed to the marriage.So the matchmaker had to inquire about the woman's name, age, date of birth, and family situation in detail, so as to prepare for the next Najib.

The third is Najib. This is the man's parents asking the folks to calculate whether the birth horoscopes of the man and the woman are compatible.Because the ancients believed in the destiny (modern people recognize power and money), the words of a fortune teller also played a very important role in the success or failure of a marriage.Digression: This rule has been passed down to the period of the Republic of China. After the founding of New China, after several campaigns, there are basically no people left who can do this. Therefore, Najib gradually withdrew from the stage of history and became a term in Chinese studies. Slightly.

The fourth is to accept the levy, which is the dowry gift as the common people say.This is not something that can be sent by a wild goose or a sheep, but something that can only be done with real money, and the number of betrothal gifts in the past dynasties is constantly increasing (I personally understand that it is caused by more and more rich material) .The so-called one hundred thousand and three gold in our northeast, outside the garage, falls into the category of taxation.

The fifth is the application period, which is very easy to understand, that is, the two parties set a wedding date, usually the man solicits the woman’s opinion symbolically, in fact, after the man decides, he politely informs the woman to know, so this Also called a notice period.

The sixth is welcoming in person, which is the last step for a man to marry a daughter-in-law.This step is mainly about welcoming the relatives and paying homage, but the specific steps are quite cumbersome.

On the first day of welcoming the bride, the bride's family has to "open the face" and "upper the head" for the daughter. These two steps are mainly because the hairstyle of the married woman is different from that of the unmarried girl.

Afterwards, it is to worship in the hall to get married, worship the heaven and the earth, worship the parents, and the husband and wife worship each other, and then go to the bridal chamber to perform the ceremony of the Duke of Zhou.

Finally, on the second day of the church visit, the bride has to meet her parents-in-law and other elders of the man. The wedding is not officially over until the meeting with these elders is completed.Strictly speaking, on the third day counting from the day of the wedding, the wedding will not be considered completely over until the young couple return home.This is what we ordinary people call the three-day return door, which was called Guining in ancient times.

After talking about the three books and six rituals, let's go back and talk about Yuanyuan's wedding of the century.To say that the other party's parents are good enough, it's so unreliable, don't care why your daughter married into Deng's family, anyway, she has climbed to a high branch, so as long as they have something to do with her family, they will The notice of changing the method has arrived.

"Oh, isn't this Liu's mother!" "Ah, you are?" "You don't remember me, my mother and your family were neighbors at the beginning." "Oh, I remembered, what's the matter?" "Next On the eighteenth day of the month, my daughter is getting married, and she is marrying the son of the boss of a certain group, so you must come to have a wedding drink." "Okay, then I will congratulate you in advance."

To put it bluntly, it is not the purpose of Yuanyuan's parents to invite these people to the wedding, the main purpose is to show off to the outside world, what shameless parents, I am speechless!

Because they hold Deng Hongtu's braid (that pair of underwear) in their hands, the couple is definitely a lion. Its name is: Qianjin, Qianjin, without a kilogram, how can it be regarded as a thousand pieces of gold!Look everyone, how shameless you are!

The hotel chose the most famous President Hotel in the area (it’s a vulgar name when you hear the name), and both men and women dine at the same time. To put it bluntly, they want to take advantage of the man’s family. I won't do it, what kind of thing is this!

Deng Hongtu's family is also a very face-saving family. Even if the woman doesn't want it, their own family has to make a big deal of it.What kind of violin, what kind of piano, all kinds of performing arts stars, and even La Dachun singing duo, anyway, everything is available. The whole wedding cost is conservatively estimated to be more than 300 million, and the friends in Shijiazhuang should have heard of it.

On the day of the wedding, Yuanyuan came to Deng's villa for the first time, and the girl was instantly dumbfounded.To be specific about how magnificent and luxurious the villa is, please refer to Meng Laicai's house in the TV series "One Servant, Two Masters", and I am too lazy to describe it.

For Yuanyuan, she was like grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, which was an eye-opener.This isn't a villa, it's just a palace!Coupled with the grand wedding in the morning, Yuanyuan felt that she might be right in finally agreeing to the marriage.Parents' persuasion is not without reason.Thinking about those sisters around me, how many of them can hold such an awesome and magnificent wedding?How many people can live in such a luxurious villa?

Although all of this is still the property of Deng Hongtu's parents at the moment, Deng Hongtu's precious son is the only one in the other's family, and he is the daughter-in-law who is being married by the other's family matchmaker. They belong to Deng Hongtu and himself!

Thinking of this, Yuanyuan's heart soared, and the unbearable past also turned into wisps of smoke and disappeared without a trace.
