The magpie has a nest, and the dove lives in it;
The son of Yugui, a hundred and two royals.
The magpie has a nest, and the dove is there;
The son of Yugui, a hundred and two generals.
A magpie has a nest, and a dove is full of it;
The son of Yugui, one hundred and twenty percent.
Ji Xu, the temporary elder brother, sat in the living room and chatted with Gao Wenxiu after he picked up "Tinder".
Dafang pushed the door open and walked in, "So you're hiding here!"
"Isn't there something wrong with me?"
"I know you're fine, that's why I called you to the wedding banquet?"
"Who is getting married?"
"Han Donglang~"
"Didn't I send the bride to him?"
"So, you should drink his wedding wine all the more."
"I'm not representing my natal family, why don't I go to his house today? I only went to his house to pick up my sister after I got the 'three days'."
"Let's talk about 'three days' in three days, today you are his uncle"
"Who is his uncle?!"
"We are married by aunts and uncles. I am his cousin, so you are his cousin? Is there any reason not to go to congratulate your nephew on his marriage?"
"I'm very tired, so I won't go today."
"Anyway, the father has already gone, he asked me to call you, and said that he has something to talk to you, so don't push me down" Da Fang pouted and went out the door.
Wenxiu stood up and persuaded: "Brother Kaiduan, you should go there! On a big day, don't make the little princess unhappy."
Ji Xu said: "Brother Houqing, otherwise, you can go together, and we will have a good chat."
Due to the large number of people attending the wedding banquet, Yuan Zhen divided the guests into two groups, and most of the young people went to the bridegroom of the Han family.
Hearing Ji Xu's suggestion, Gao Wenxiu couldn't wait to go to the wedding venue, so she happily said, "Okay, I'll go and talk to my grandfather."
When she opened the door, she found that Dafang was grinning. It turned out that she hadn't left at all, but was hiding at the door to eavesdrop
The three of them rode fast horses and chased each other to Han's house. The big sedan chair [1] had just got off the sedan chair.
I saw that four sedan chairmen unloaded the sedan door of the sedan chair. There is a five or six-year-old girl in full makeup, commonly known as the "little lady out of the sedan chair", who comes to welcome the bride out of the sedan chair. The little girl slightly pulled the bride's Mei Fei'er's sleeve three times with her hand, and the bride Mei Fei'er stepped out of the sedan chair door.
Fei'er covered her head with a red hijab. When she stepped out of the sedan chair, she first stepped over a red lacquered wooden "saddle", stepped on the red felt, and was helped by Xi Niang into the red gate.
People who watched the excitement flocked in.
Mei Feier came to Xitang and stood on the right side of Xitang to wait.
At this time, the groom Han Wo did not know where to hide.
Why did the bridegroom hide? This is also a custom: the groom does not go to pick up the bride, and when he hears the big sedan chair arrives at home, he must immediately hide elsewhere. The little boy holding the candles must be asked back again and again before he can stand on the left side of the wedding hall and wait for the ceremony to begin.
This is mainly to avoid a nursery rhyme: "The chick has a long tail, married a daughter-in-law, but forgot her mother".
The son raised by himself is eager to get married, and then meets a girl he likes, and falls in love all day long. He is bound to forget the kindness of his parents in nurturing him. In order to avoid suspicion, there are such unnecessary superficial articles.

The wedding ceremony officially began.
The worship ceremony in the north is slightly different from that in the south. In the wedding hall, there is the master incense father-in-law, mostly the groom¡¯s grandfather or uncles.
The praisers shouted: "Go to the temple to see the ceremony, and play music!"
When the musicians played the music, the main wisher, Yixiang, came to the case and waited.
The praisers sang: "Kneel, all kneel! Offer incense, offer incense second, offer incense third! Kowtow, kowtow again, and kowtow three times!"
The main incense, the bridegroom and the bride all act in accordance with the sound of praise.
The praisers then sang: "Up, flat body, reset! Kneel, they are all crisp!" Then they sang, "Up, thanks! Up, thanks! Up, thanks!"
&nb?, the ritual of relative drinking. The wine glass is divided into two, which symbolizes that the couple is originally two bodies; the handle is connected by a thread, which means that the two people are connected through marriage; The newlyweds eat dishes prepared by a tripod and drink a glass together at the banquet, which symbolizes mutual respect, love and intimacy between husband and wife.
Passing the door: Passing the door means that the bride formally steps into the man's house after leaving the woman's house, and meets Weng Gu and other elders of the man's family.
Legend has it that Weng Gu can't directly see the newcomers enter the door in the hall, because it will conflict. So when the woman enters the man's house, Weng Gu will come out of the room and meet the new couple in the lobby. Then the bride and groom will worship heaven and earth first, and then ancestors. The newlyweds then serve tea to Weng Gu and kneel down. Weng Gu will say some blessings and present jewelry and gifts to the bride. After the bride receives the ornaments, she needs to put them on immediately to show her gratitude. Then, the couple will serve tea to other elders and relatives.
Weng Gu: Husband's father and mother, father-in-law and mother-in-law. In ancient times, aunts and cousins ??were generally married, and mother-in-laws were mostly former aunts.
Changed the words of respecting tea: Renamed each other's parents as "father and mother".
He Langjiu: On the night of the wedding, the man's family prepares a "good day feast" for the guests, which is called "Helangjiu".
The banquet is almost an essential part of every newlywed's wedding. Handed down to today, "eating wedding wine" has become the abbreviation of folk wedding. Banquets vary in size and scale, and the main significance is that the marriage of the bride and groom has been recognized by relatives and friends. Therefore, the banquet is also the most socially meaningful part of the wedding.

refers to a woman whose parents are both alive, her husband has brothers and sisters, and both children. The lack of any one party means that this woman is "five blessings are not complete".

"Waiting ceremony" is also called "seeing the size", which is to kneel down and meet in order of closeness and seniority.
When worshiping, there are two large seats in the hall, and the couple who are worshiped will sit together. If one of them is deceased, they will also sit on the left side of the man and the right side of the woman, and the other seat will be empty.
? Bibi gives a red envelope to the bride, commonly known as "meeting money". The parents-in-law don't give out red envelopes, saying that "the daughter-in-law is her own family". When the bride meets her peers, she bows. If the younger generation pays a visit, the bride will also give "meeting money".
After the bride has visited all her relatives, a "waiting feast" is held. The bride sits at the head, accompanied by 4 women at the banquet to persuade her to eat. After the feast, the bridal bride will accompany the bride to the kitchen to perform "pro-circumcision". There are customs such as fishing for vermicelli and touching loach, which is called "going to the kitchen". In fact, it is to see whether the new daughter-in-law has ever been in the kitchen at her mother's house before, can she do housework, and is she dexterous? (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
