    As Yuanyuan forgave Hongtu, things began to develop in the direction originally discussed by Yuanyuan's parents and Hongtu's mother, and a grand wedding was imminent.  When narrating this paragraph, I found that Yuanyuan¡¯s eyes were full of happy memories.  In addition to sighing helplessly, I seemed to sigh.  After all, I am a wedding company myself, and I am familiar with various 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 quality and cost of the wedding.  money relationship.  But in business, I still hope that more couples will spend more money on weddings, so that I can earn more, hehe!  Having written this, it is necessary for me to explain the wedding ceremony in Chinese studies to the readers, so as to popularize knowledge.  Wedding is the etiquette of the ancients regarding marriage, and it is a kind of ceremony.  Marriage has been a major event in life since ancient times, so weddings were very important etiquette in ancient times and should not be taken lightly.  During the Zhou Dynasty, China had already formed a complete set of wedding ceremonies, with detailed regulations in the "Etiquette".  To put it simply, the entire wedding can be divided into "three books and six etiquette".  The three letters refer to the letter of appointment, the letter of gift and the letter of welcome.  The six rites refer to the six general steps from proposal to consummation of marriage.  Specifically, it is divided into: The first is to accept the lottery, that is, the man's family entrusts a matchmaker to propose the marriage intention to the girl's parents, which is commonly known as "matchmaking" among the people.  Don¡¯t we always watch TV dramas where parents order the matchmaker¡¯s words? To put it bluntly, it¡¯s the acceptance of the lottery among the six rites.  Because receiving a gift is not just an empty talk, but a real gift to the woman¡¯s family.  In the pre-Qin era, wild geese were used as gifts for receiving betrothal gifts. In later generations, sheep, deer, donkey-hide gelatin, pampas grass, etc. were used as gifts for receiving betrothal gifts.  As we in the Northeast call it, having an engagement meal is, to put it bluntly, a nacai ceremony.  The second is to ask for the name. If the woman accepts the gift when accepting the lottery, it means that she has agreed to the marriage.  So the matchmaker will ask the woman's name, age, birthday and family situation in detail to prepare for the next Najib.  The third one is Naji. This is where the man¡¯s parents ask experts in folk magic to calculate whether the birth dates of the man and woman are consistent.  Because the ancients believed in destiny (modern people believe in power and money), the words of fortune tellers also played a very important role in the success or failure of a marriage.  Digression: This rule was spread until the Republic of China. After the founding of New China, after several movements, there were basically no people left who knew how to do this. Therefore, Najib slowly withdrew from the stage of history and became a term in Chinese studies.  Yes.  The fourth is the betrothal gift, which is what the common people call the betrothal gift.  This is not something that a goose or a sheep can do, but something that can be done with real money and silver, and the number of betrothal gifts has been constantly increasing in the past dynasties (my personal understanding is that it is caused by the increasing abundance of materials)  .  The so-called 100,000 and 3 golds here in the Northeast are subject to taxation except for the garage.  The fifth is the request period. This is very easy to understand. When both parties set a wedding date, the man usually symbolically solicits the woman¡¯s opinion. In fact, after the man has decided, he politely informs the woman. Therefore, this  Also called the reporting period.  The sixth step is to marry in person, which is the last step for a man to marry his wife.  This step is mainly to welcome the bride and visit the church, but the specific steps are quite cumbersome.  On the first day of the wedding, the girl¡¯s family has to ¡°open her face¡± and ¡°dress her hair¡± for their daughter. These two steps are mainly because the hairstyle of a married woman begins to differ from that of an unmarried girl.  ??Then they go to the church to get married, worship heaven and earth, parents, husband and wife, and then enter the bridal chamber to perform the rites of Zhou Gong.  Finally, on the second day of the wedding ceremony, the bride has to meet her parents-in-law and other elders of the groom. The wedding is not officially over until she has visited these elders.  To be more strictly speaking, the wedding is not completely over until the couple is reunited on the third day from the wedding day.  This is what ordinary people today call returning home in three days. In ancient times, it was called Guining.  After talking about the Three Books and Six Etiquettes, let¡¯s go back and talk about Yuanyuan¡¯s wedding of the century.  It's too unreliable to say that the other party's parents are acceptable. Don't worry about why your daughter married into the Deng family. Anyway, she is climbing a high tree, so as long as she has some relationship with her family, they will  Notice of law change has arrived.  "Oh, isn't this Liu's mother!" "Ah, you are?" "You don't remember me. My mother and your family were neighbors." "Oh, I remembered, what's going on?" "Exit  On the eighteenth day of the month, my daughter is getting married to the son of the boss of a certain group. You must come to have a wedding drink then. "Well, let me congratulate you in advance." To put it bluntly, Yuanyuan's parents said hello.  The main purpose of these people attending the wedding is to show off to the outside world. What shameless parents they are. I am speechless!  Because I hold Deng Hongtu¡¯s braid in my hand.? (that pair of underwear), so these two couples are definitely a big deal. The betrothal gift is nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan and nine cents, and the gold is one kilogram, and it is also called "a thousand pieces of gold".  , a thousand gold, how can it be considered a thousand gold if there is not one kilogram!  Look, everyone, how shameless!  The hotel was chosen to be the most famous President Hotel in the area (the name sounds familiar), and both men and women were dining at the same time. To put it bluntly, they wanted to take advantage of the man¡¯s family. Fortunately, the other party¡¯s family tolerated it. If it were me, I would be  If you don¡¯t know how to do it, what¡¯s the big deal!  Deng Hongtu¡¯s family is also a very face-conscious family. Even if the woman doesn¡¯t want him, he still has to make things happen for his family.  There are all kinds of violins, pianos, various performing arts stars, and even a big spring singing duet. Anyway, the cost of the entire wedding is conservatively estimated to be more than three million, and friends in Shijiazhuang in the group should have heard about it.  On the wedding day, Yuanyuan came to the Deng family's villa for the first time, and the girl was instantly dumbfounded.  Specifically how grand and luxurious the villa is, we can just refer to Meng Laicai's house in the TV series "One Servant, Two Masters", and I'm too lazy to describe it.  For Yuanyuan, she was just like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. It was an eye-opener.  This is not a villa, it is just a palace!  Coupled with the grand wedding in the morning, Yuanyuan felt at this moment that she might have been right to finally agree to the marriage.  My parents¡¯ persuasion is not entirely unreasonable.  Thinking about the sisters around me, how many of them can manage such an awesome and elegant wedding?  How many people can live in such a luxurious villa?  Although all this is still the property of Deng Hongtu's parents, the other party's family only has a precious son like Deng Hongtu, and he is the daughter-in-law of the other party's family. After a hundred years, the two old people will not have such a huge family fortune.  They all belong to Deng Hongtu and himself!  Thinking of this, Yuanyuan's heart started to fly, and the unbearable past events all turned into clouds and smoke and disappeared without a trace.     to be continued
