The next thing will make the two families very busy. Because marriage is a major event that only happens once in life, every detail must be paid special attention to. The guest list for the banquet must be prepared, and the details of the wedding must be discussed. But these are all We don't need to worry about it. The servants of the two families are busy shopping on the street all day long. The mansion is also decorated with joy. Obviously marriage is a matter of two people, but everyone makes it seem like a big deal.

On the second day, families exchange "geng stickers" (age and birth date) and press them on the bottom of a clean tea cup in front of the statue of the God of Kitchen God to test the gods' will.

If within three days there are "abnormal" situations such as broken bowls at home, spoiled food, quarrels between family members, or uneasy cats and dogs, then ask a fortune teller to "make horoscopes" to see if the year and age are compatible, and whether the zodiac signs are incompatible. People strongly believe in the six-year conflict. , a small conflict in three years; men marry at double ages, women do not marry at 19; it is called chickens and dogs (chickens and dogs do not get along), dragons and tigers (dragons and tigers fight), tigers and sheeps (sheep fall into the tiger's mouth), snakes and rats (snake swallows them) (Rat) is difficult to match, and we should wait until everything is considered before discussing marriage. These are all cumbersome etiquette before marriage, rules passed down by the ancestors. In order to get married and make everything prosperous for the family, almost every newlywed tries to complete it as much as possible.

Brother Yin and I were laughing at how complicated the process was. The fortune teller carefully asked our birthdays and horoscopes, took out a few coins and began to calculate. Brother Yin and I waited nervously for the results. If the horoscopes did not match, the fortune teller would The marriage was about to fall through. We saw the fortune teller frowning. We were shocked, fearing that our horoscopes would not match. We quickly asked the fortune teller.

"How?" we asked together.

The fortune teller looked up at us and said, "I have been doing fortune-telling for so many years, but I have never seen such a strange divination. The two have been in love since they were childhood sweethearts. But if they are destined to get together, they will be apart more often."

We still don’t believe it. We are obviously about to get married, how can we be destined? The old man is really worried too much. It seems that fortune telling is really inaccurate. I don’t know why people still believe it so firmly? We still start I sent him away happily.

The horoscopes were suitable, so the marriage was decided. The next day, the general came to discuss the marriage. The discussion started with "small gifts" and decided to give "four to six pieces of magenta" or "six magenta" (four to six pieces of silk and satin clothing). ), two gold rings, a pair of gold earrings;

The betrothal gift includes thirty-six small gifts, sixty-four medium gifts, and one hundred and twenty big gifts (silver yuan); the number of food items is "sixty-four", that is, 64 pairs of Baotou, 64 oil buns, 64 sesame cakes, etc., and 8 old wines. No, after the engagement, the Jiangjun Mansion sent people to deliver the betrothal gift to my home. According to the rules, I had to reciprocate the gift. I set a gift of repaying the gold package, oil bag and embroidery. The General Mansion is indeed a wealthy family. .Even the gifts are quite luxurious. May this marriage be a golden match.

The General's Mansion sent a "letter of approval", commonly known as "red and green paper" (the two layers of paper are red on the outside and green on the inside), and I sent a "reply note" for approval, commonly known as "Date". This is the proof of engagement. Following the "Date" "Then we choose auspicious days to get married, and let the date shop choose a "good day". When both families are busy with the tedious details of the wedding, I am also looking forward to my life after marriage. There are still three months. , I can become Brother Yin’s wife. Although there are a series of red tapes every day, I am still very happy. I heard that I will find a good woman to comb my hair that day. I have imagined many times how we will get married that day. Imagination I have lived a happy and sweet life after many marriages. Everything is new. I feel that the sunshine every day is so fresh and beautiful. I am full of longing for the future every day. When I think that these will become a reality, I can’t help but feel a wave of excitement in my heart. Secretly happy.

We still can't see each other during this period. We only exchange secret letters every day. Whenever I see Brother Yin's familiar handwriting, he always reminds me many times in his heart. Pay attention to your health, don't stay up late, and take good care of yourself. And I

I look forward to a happy life in the future. Occasionally I write one or two small poems to express my feelings. I am a girl who likes to rush into the future. I am a little dreamy and can imagine many, many dreamy things. Brother Yin replies quickly every time.
