Chapter 37

Marriage in the countryside has always been less particular than that in the city. Marriage matters are mostly based on the words of the matchmaker, and the man asks the matchmaker to propose marriage to the woman first, which is called "reporting good luck".After the woman agreed, she handed over a red post with her daughter's birth date written on it.

After the man gets the geng post, he presses it under the incense burner in front of the ancestral tablet for three days, which is called "pressing geng", and then asks a fortune teller to calculate whether the birth horoscopes of men and women are compatible, which is called "marriage".If the five elements are in conflict with each other, the woman's "Geng Tie" will be returned, and some gifts will be attached to apologize.

The etiquette in rural areas is relatively simple. The man chooses the wedding date and informs the woman's family half a year in advance.Gifts are entrusted to the matchmaker, including silk, cloth, jewelry and gift money, and the gift money is also considerable.There are also women who bargain to make the man give gifts.

There are also those who are really poor, or those who have remarried and low-married. If they are close, a few people next to them will blow suona and wear red hijab, and they will be led by the matchmaker; if they are a little richer, they will have a sedan chair to sit in , Before getting on the sedan chair, you have to cry. The bride usually cries softly, while the mother cries loudly.

Yue Niang has no relatives, so these are naturally avoided.Now that Lin Dalei has made up his mind to marry Yueniang, although it is a continuation in the eyes of others, Lin Dalei does not want to wrong Yueniang in the slightest.I took some food and hunting in the mountains early, went to the market to exchange money, and bought all the things that should be compradors.Seeing this, Mrs. Cai exaggerated Dalei's thoughtfulness and consideration, and sighed: "God sees whoever does what, and will never lose a good person, and will never spare a bad person." !"

People in the village heard that Lin Dalei was going to get married, and that the woman was the little girl who was rescued back home. They also heard that Mrs. Cai was a matchmaker, so those good-for-nothing people went to Langzhong Li's house to inquire about it. Li Langzhong's house was bustling like never before.

Mrs. Cai knew what everyone was thinking, and felt that this was a good thing, and there was nothing to hide, so she said that although Yueniang was once a noble lady, her life was miserable and no one cared about her, so she had nothing to rely on. Fortunately, God blessed her and met her. Da Lei is such a good person.

Everyone climbed up the roots and asked about Lin Dalei's efforts to find a husband for Yueniang.Cai patted her thigh, and said that Da Lei was honest, afraid that he would tarnish the reputation of the girl, so she wanted to find a good husband for her, the two of them are innocent until now...

Some of those people didn’t believe it, and some just let it go after solving their doubts. Regardless of whether they had an intimate relationship in the past, they are going to get married now. .But this matter is still a bit interesting in this dull and boring countryside, so everyone prepared to watch the excitement on the day of Lin Dalei's marriage.

It took only three to five days to get everything in order, because Yue Niang didn't have a natal family, so she had to prepare in advance at Li Langzhong's house, escorted by Mrs. Cai, and circled the village in a sedan chair before returning to Lin Dalei's house. .Lin Dalei went out to greet her in person, Yueniang couldn't see the couple outside, she was led by Lin Dalei, and according to the old custom, five sacks were laid out one by one in front of the door, Cai hurriedly replaced Lin Dalei, Fu Yueniang stepped on the sacks to enter the door, there is a saying about this custom, pass the sacks Paving, called "passage".With five bags, it is a sign of "five sons ascend the imperial examination".

Walking into the courtyard, the bride and groom bowed to heaven and earth, ancestors, parents and each other. Neither of them had parents or relatives, so they bowed to the empty seat in front of them, then bowed to heaven and earth, and finally they crossed their necks. bye.Although it wasn't the first time Lin Dalei got married, he was much more nervous and happy than last time. Having said that, he didn't seem to feel anything about the last time he got married.

The moon mother was led back to the bridal chamber by Lin Dalei with red silk, and the bridal chamber sat on the bed, male and female. It is said that the bride sits on a large bed, which means that she is afraid of his wife after marriage; Sit close together.And Lin Dalei seemed to have no intention of doing a little more to the east, leaving a huge space on Yueniang's side.

When Lin Dalei lifted up the red gauze scarf of Yueniang's hijab, under the red gauze, the delicate beauty with a little makeup was even more difficult to look away. Lin Dalei just looked at her obsessively.

Seeing his appearance, Yueniang couldn't help feeling a little bit of pride in her shyness, so she glared at him coquettishly.

Cai Shi was watching from the side, covering her mouth and laughing, Lin Dalei just came back to his senses, and stood up a little brilliantly.Cai threw dates, peanuts, candies, etc. into the bed tent of the new house, which is called "removal of the tent".

Lin Dalei was afraid that Yueniang would have a headache if she drank alcohol before, so she whispered in her ear, "Just take a sip, and I'll drink the rest for you." .”
