Chapter 24 Festive 3
The hairdressing lady's words fell, and Liu raised the curtain and called Lin in, telling her to go out to the dam to spread some profit and money according to the custom. After telling her to fold back, she also urged the hairdressing lady to say, "You have to dress up. The newcomers will go to worship their ancestors later!"
The hairdressing lady dared not neglect it, and the action of her hand was a little faster, and soon dressed up the new bride fish according to the rules. At this time, Xiao Shuanzi had given a lot of money to the Yang family who blocked the door. It was not easy to get into the fish's boudoir and see the fish.
However, as soon as Xiao Shuanzi entered the room and didn't have time to talk to the fish, Yang Liulang and others who deliberately made trouble were clamped with a smile and pulled him out of the door. He didn't forget to say, "It's time to worship our ancestors!"
With that, Yang Liulang pulled out the small bolt that had finally entered the fish's boudoir, and the fish slowly walked out of the boudoir with the help of Liu and Lin. According to the customs of the Northern Song Dynasty women before marriage, he went to worship the ancestors of the Yang family...
After the fish and the little bolt respectfully worshipped the ancestors, immediately two blessed people held the fish left and right. One of them held a red oil paper umbrella in his hand and carefully covered the top of the fish's head until he sent the fish to the dam and climbed on the eaves. Put away the umbrella.
After the fish sat in the eaves, the eaves did not start immediately, and several sedan chairmen still stood still laughing. They had no intention of lifting the sedan chair out at all, as if they were not in a hurry at all.
There are even bold sedan chair men who directly said to the newcomers, "This benefit is that we don't have enough money, and we don't have enough strength to carry the sedan chair!"
The sedan chair man shouted for money, but did not deliberately make things difficult for the newcomers, but acted according to the rules and customs of the Northern Song Dynasty. This was called "loading burden" in the Northern Song Dynasty, which means that the sedan chairman was willing to lift the sedan chair after giving enough money, and only when he gave him enough money could carry the sedan chair auspiciously.
The Yang family has already had several happy events, so Liu knows these customs very well. As soon as he saw the sedan chair man shouting that he wanted money, he immediately wink at Lin. Seeing this, Lin immediately took the small basket with the red paper with the word "heng" and grabbed the copper plate inside and sprinkled it on the dam. Seeing this, several sedan chairmen immediately picked up the happy money.
The Zhao family's family, who accompanied Xiao Shuanzi to welcome his marriage, was also eager to carry the bride's eaves out of the Yang family and enter his Zhao family, so they also hurriedly took out the wedding money and stuffed it to the sedan chair man, urging them to carry the sedan chair out quickly. Don't miss the auspicious time...
The melodious music in the dam continued to play, and the team that welcomed the relatives took enough money to raise the eaves with a smile. After the leader shouted a few a few auspicious words, the eaves on which the fish was riding were steadily lifted out of the Yang's door.
As soon as the eaves went out, Lin hurriedly brought a bowl of pre-prepared water to Liu. After receiving the bowl of water, Liu wiped her tears and sprinkled the water in the bowl behind the sedan chair according to customs. This move means that the fish has been the water poured out by the Yang family, and the Yang family will never ask about everything in the future, and it also means to wish the fish that everything will go well in the Zhao family in the future.
After the eaves came out of the door of the Yang family, the matchmaker who followed the eaves quickly reminded the fish in a low voice: "The sedan chair has gone out. It's time for the bride to cast a fan!"
The fish was reminded by the matchmaker and quickly took out the fan that was ready to hide in the cuffs early in the morning and threw it out of the sedan chair. Yang Liulang, who was waiting beside him, immediately picked up the fan. After throwing the fan, the fish also cried a few times according to the rules, and then someone covered the back of the sedan chair with a "bamboo sieve" to symbolize prosperity.
The sedan chair man carried the eaves and walked slowly around Xiaoqi Village. There were many firecrackers along the way. It was not until he circled the front and back of Xiaoqi Village that the sedan chairman carried the eaves of the fish to the Zhao family. As soon as the welcoming team arrived at the door of the Zhao family, the people followed by the woman and the man's relatives and friends surrounded Lin and others for money and other things. This custom corresponds to the previous "loading burden" and was called "blocking the door" by the people of the Northern Song Dynasty.
With enough money, the fish was able to slowly walk down the eaves with the help of the matchmaker and step on a green cloth under the guidance of the matchmaker. Before going out, Liu repeatedly told her that she must carefully follow the instructions of the matchmaker after getting off the eaves. She must put her feet on the green cloth strips and never let her feet step on the ground, so as not to make people feel that the bride has done unlucky things before entering the door.
As soon as the fish got off the eaves, a Mr. Yinyang (a fortune teller) invited by the Zhao family in advance stood in front of the eaves and saw Mr. Yinyang holding a bucket in his hand, which was filled with cereals, soybeans, copper coins, fruits and other things.
As soon as the Mr. Yin and Yang saw the fish under the eaves, he began to read some words. After reading for a moment, he grabbed the things in the bucket and threw them at the door. The children around the door scrambled to pick them up. Several naughty people almost hit the fish, making the fish supported by the matchmaker's heart subconsciously hang high.
And Mr. Yinyang's move is called "spreading grain beans". People in the Northern Song Dynasty believed that this could suppress the green sheep and other killing gods and let the bride enter the door safely.
After Mr. Yin and Yang finished scattering grain beans, a man walked backwards with a mirror, leading the fish across the saddle, grass mat and scale. Because the fish had a red cap on her head, she could only see her own toes, so she completed this series of actions under the guidance of the matchmaker, and she always held her breath and dared not be distracted.
It was not until the matchmaker whispered "entered the house" in the fish's ear and led the fish into the tent and sat down according to the rule of "sitting on the false tent". The fish dared to relax the tone she had been holding for the time being, and the little hand that had been clenched slowly loosened. She felt a headache for a series of tedious rules for marrying a wife in the Northern Song Dynasty. Helpless.
After the Yang family followed the welcoming team and sent the fish to the house to sit down, everyone drank three glasses of wine and got up and left only the direct relatives such as Yang Dazhu, Liu and Yang Liulang in the Zhao family. This was also the marriage rule of the Northern Song Dynasty, which the people of the Northern Song Dynasty called "delivery".
Then there is nothing to do with the fish for the time being. As long as the fish rests in the new house, the little bolt will be busy to greet the guests who come to celebrate, or take the initiative to toast to the elders, or be pulled by friends to drink, and they will not be idle for a moment.
After three rounds of drinking, the small bolts wearing a dress and Huasheng's head climbed to a wooden collapse placed in the middle hall in advance, and a chair was placed on the wooden collapse according to customs.
However, after the little bolt did not sit down immediately after climbing on the wood collapse, he first invited the matchmaker, and then invited his aunt or sister-in-law and other elders to come over, and each poured a glass of wine for them to drink. Then he invited Liu's mother-in-law and respectfully toasted a glass of wine and waited for Liu to drink the glass of wine to the little bolt. Only then did Shuanzi dare to sit down, which was called "sitting high" and was also one of the marriage customs of the Northern Song Dynasty.
Let's not talk about the little bolt, but said that after the fish sat down in the new house, he first breathed a sigh of relief and rested for a while. After that, with the pair of red candle eyes inserted on the case, it became shorter and shorter and closer to the time of the bridal chamber, the fish began to be nervous again, and his thoughts were a little confused for a moment. Chaos, while raising some expectations for the upcoming "bridal night", the careful liver couldn't help but accelerate, which was a little more nervous than the previous salute...
And just as the fish was so nervous that a layer of sweat oozed from his palm, there was a sudden noise outside the new house, and the words "done room" flashed in the fish's mind, and suddenly there was a group of people outside the door. As soon as the group entered the new house, they scrambled to tear the cloth hanging on the forehead of the door, as if they wanted to be happy.
This sudden noise made the fish's heart tight. When she was at a loss and didn't know how to deal with it, her clenched little hand was wrapped in a big palm without warning. The temperature transmitted from the big palm seemed to have a magical power, which made the fish's nervous heart slowly settle down. The heartbeat gradually returned to its normal frequency.
Soon the fish heard the little bolt say in her ear, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
The "girls" made the fish startled a little unaccustomed, and then the face covered under the red cover turned red, and she wondered whether she was going to change her words to be a "official"...
But before the fish could summon up the courage to shout "official", the little bolt took her hand gently and took her slowly outside. Liu and Lin, who were waiting outside, saw that the little bolt invited the fish out, they took out a piece of colorful satin to make a concentric knot, and happily rushed the fish and the little Shuanzi shouted, "Take the towel and make a heart. From then on, the groom and the bride will always be together!"
Xiao Shuanzi's smile on his face was even brighter when he heard the words, and the hand holding the fish subconsciously increased his strength, as if he wanted to show his determination to "hold his hand and grow old with him" with the fish.
The fish standing next to Xiao Shuanzi listened to Liu and Lin's words and subconsciously buried his head low. The little daughter-in-law's posture because of shyness made Xiao Shuanzi couldn't help leaning against the fish. If it hadn't been for a few elders in the room, Xiao Shuanzi would have been close to the fish with his heart. My son is in my arms...
