Chapter 849 Wedding Customs: Clothing Bedroom is a blessing
The fat wife got up and chased her, cursing her while chasing her. Seeing that she couldn't catch up, she shook her hand and threw a head of garlic in her hand over the guy's back, cursing, Erdan, you shameless, let's see how I'll slap you after I catch you later
Before he finished speaking, he made himself laugh. In the countryside, some middle-aged and half-aged men like to joke with middle-aged women of their sister-in-law the most, and it is common to touch them, but never cross the line. As for how to grasp this world, everyone knows it. Otherwise, as long as you pass this world, you will never be allowed and will be sneered by everyone.
The morning steak is the same as last night's dishes, but there are also fried dough sticks and buns. However, many people don't eat much. First of all, everyone thinks that it's enough to eat this breakfast, and it's 70% to 80% full. After all, you don't have to go to work in this day.
Secondly, I understand in my heart that they all want to keep their stomachs and eat more at noon. Because the meals for lunch today are the main dishes, good things and hard dishes, and there are too many. Think about it, although you are not hungry now, not every household has big fish and meat every day. Now there is a chance to make them. Who would like to miss this opportunity? Hahaha.
Here, according to the normal wedding process, the first major thing after dinner in the morning was to leave the carriage to pick up new people at the woman's house. In the past, there were horse-drawn carriages and donkey carriages, because the woman had a dowry that needed to be brought over. The family background was a big wardrobe, a big chest, a big table, a big box, etc., as well as bicycles, sewing machines, etc., but these things were bought by the man and sent to the woman, and then sent them together. It looks good in terms of face.
People with average family backgrounds will also get dowry boxes, etc., but the number will be smaller. There are many things to pay attention to here. This, then, you have to set fire to cross a bridge, and you have to set fire to cross a river. I heard that it is for the sake of worshiping the gods, so that they can bless the newcomers to pass safely, and their lives will be smooth in the future. To be honest, in the past, I not only followed the bride-welcome team to the woman, but also the bride-welcome team to the man, but I never understood the various things.
However, today I got married, I probably didn't have the opportunity to figure it out. I thought Zitong was from another place. Yesterday we discussed with the in charge and asked if we should stay in the county town the day before. Then we sent a car to the county town to pick up new people. This would be a complete process, and it looks good on the surface.
But Zitong thought about it and said she would forget it. She didn't want to make trouble anymore. She just wanted to get married for fun. As for the formalities or not, she didn't care too much. It was still so far from the county town, and she had to call a few cars. It was so troublesome. What's more, if you live at home, you can sleep in the morning. It's so cold, I really don't want to get up from the bed.
Hahaha, that's fine. Respect your opinions, just listen to you, so the bride was omitted. Early in the morning, a few sisters-in-law and aunts began to come to the west room to arrange the items needed for the wedding and bridal chambers, so "set up a new bed and welcome the bride, and the whole family was happy."
First of all, "making a new bed" - this is very important, and two or four "Full-Fu" must bear this important task. What is a full-fed man? It is the original couple, and both children. This is still easy to find in the countryside, but since the implementation of the only child plan, it has gradually become very rare. Later, as people's concepts begin to change, there are fewer and fewer original couples.
Mrs. Quanfu will fill in the pillow first, then put quilts, and finally lay the bed. At this time, you should put lotus seeds, peanuts, red dates, cinnamon gardens, ginkgo, etc. on the four corners of the bed to indicate the meaning of "setting up early, having a flower in your child (both men and women), and having a noble child in your child" and other good signs.
Under normal circumstances, in order to pray for "going a noble son early", a young boy with a minor and both parents had to be invited to accompany the groom overnight one night before the wedding, which was called "going out of the new bed". On the day of the big happy, he had to act as the "senior man". Of course, times have changed, new people, new things, and new tasks have been omitted.
This morning, before the chicken pen opened, my elder brother grabbed one of the big red roosters and a yellow little hen, then tied it up with one leg and tied it under the shrine in the church hall. This was not something I did casually, and there was something to say inside.
For us, although this is just a marriage ceremony, it contains many reasons. It is really difficult to find out when this custom originated. However, it can be found that when it comes to marrying chickens, it was not meant at first, such as chickens, geese, etc., but wild geese flying in the sky. The reason why wild geese are used as wedding bride price is probably because the wild geese are a migratory bird, and they migrate at the same time and in particular are particularly punctual, so it can represent "punctual and trustworthy".
In addition, the geese have only one spouse in their life, which is very consistent with the concept of marriage between us, loyalty, and husband-speaking and wife in the relationship between us, so it is natural to be a marriage gift. As for why it evolved into wedding customs such as sending geese and chickens, I personally think that the geese are a migratory bird. In addition, people obtain too many people, and use economic theory to explain it, it is more than demand. This naturally leads to people not being able to get geese so easily, but the demand is still there. What should I do? Hahaha, I naturally look for a suitable substitute.
Therefore, since the Song Dynasty, people gradually began to replace geese. After all, ordinary people have chickens raised in their homes, and they can catch chickens and gooses and other poultry. There are several other statements about getting married and holding chickens:
1. To give birth to a noble son early, it means to wish two newcomers early, to give birth to a noble son early.
2. Homophone theory: It originates from the homophone of "Ji" and "Shi (the fourth tone of ji).
The tied person is tied up, and the two feet of the big rooster must be "tied" (tied) with red lines. We are giving away the big rooster before marriage (the feet are tied with red lines). We only use our own home, because Zitong is from another place.
3. Purifying the body: After the wedding ceremony, the big rooster must be killed on the wedding night (or the next day) and made for the bride and groom to eat. Each of them eats one of the feet, which means that a couple will tie together from now on, grow old together and spend this life together. The hen is kept and raised until the wife gives birth to a child, and it is said that it can nourish the wife's body and make her milk more juice. With milk, the child will naturally not be hungry and will grow strong.
4. Same as saying: Chicken is homophonic with "光", and holding chicken means good luck, and chicken has symbolized good luck since ancient times and can drive away ghosts and evil spirits.
In addition, there is another aspect, this rooster is particularly punctual in crowing. It was the best time assistant for working people in the past to "work at sunrise and rest at sunset", and therefore became an important part of the wedding bride price.
I ate a lot in the morning and was full because my guests had different ideas. Although it was my first time, hahaha, I probably wouldn't have a second time in the future, but I clearly knew that the next day would be a hard work. If I didn't fill my stomach in advance and accumulate energy, I might not be able to persevere.
In addition, my mother has already told me several times, saying that you must eat more in the morning, and you will be busy at that time.
As expected, after dinner, I was busy working, and I was so dizzy. I was like a puppet carrying a string, and I was brought here and there. This one needed the groom to come forward, and the groom to handle it. Anyway, I had too much work.
I shuttled through the crowd and greeted the guests who came one after another, took out cigarettes, lit cigarettes, lit cigarettes, vented cigarettes, lit cigarettes, lit cigarettes, lit cigarettes, lit cigarettes, lit cigarettes, lit cigarettes, lit cigarettes, lit cigarettes
