Traveling through the Lishu to farm the fields

Not long after Cheng Pei and Niu Jin left, Fuhong Village ushered in a happy event.Fu Tianshan, the elder brother of Li Shu's neighbor, Nanny Shen's family, is about to get married to Wang Lin, the son of Wang Tieniu, a carpenter in the neighboring village.Nanny Shen was very satisfied with this marriage, and everyone said that her elder brother married a good husband.Li Shu also paid attention to that family, which is indeed good.

Nanny Shen has been busy since the day before yesterday, the dowry is well prepared, there are more than a dozen tables planned for the banquet, the materials and food have been prepared, and helpers have been found.People from the village and Mammy Shen Fu Dahe's relatives on both sides were invited.

Of course, Fu Shan and Li Shu were among the first to be invited.For this matter, Li even made a special trip to the county town, and picked out a congratulatory gift that he wanted, a carved red lacquer eight-treasure box, and inside it was a silver bracelet weighing eight coins. In addition, Li Shu planned to give a number like the villagers Auspicious copper plate.I originally wanted to include 88 essays, but in the end it was too heavy and cumbersome, so I changed it to [-] essays.

The people in the village didn't buy anything else, they just followed the usual customs.It's very simple, as long as you don't violate any taboos, wrap it with auspicious copper plates, and add a chicken, a duck, a few catties of pork, a few white porcelain bowls and so on.These are enough to make the organizers happy for a long time.A bolt of sackcloth or cotton or something would be even more delightful.

On the day of the wedding, congratulators all took their seats.When Li Shu and Fu Shan came, it was neither too early nor too late, and they saw Fu Dahe greeting the guests, Fu Tianshui was also helping his father, and Nanny Shen didn't rest, busy receiving gifts and receiving soft hands.Li Shu and Fu Shan handed over the congratulatory gifts with a smile, and saw a room full of gifts, including chicken, duck, geese, rabbit meat, fur, cloth, porcelain bowls, everything, it was like a wholesale market for small commodities.Li Shu and Fu Shan saw that Nanny Shen's family was busy and couldn't stop, so they found a seat for themselves, and found a table with villagers from the village and started to chat with each other.

Around noon, Wang Lin's wedding party arrived, and the sound of festive trumpets and suonas could be heard faintly from a distance, and the mood was clearly elevated, making noise, beating, and shouting, "Groom The official is here, here we are." Many nuns, husbands, and children who wanted to join in the fun ran to the door to greet them.Li Shu hadn't seen an ancient wedding before, he pulled Fu Shan bouncing past him, and looked at the welcoming procession with his head outstretched.Fu Shan looked at Li Shu's excited face, blushing and impatient look, Fu Shan felt a little guilty that he hadn't given Xiao Shu a wedding yet.Yes, Fu Shan and Li Shu haven't held their wedding ceremony yet.

A long string of firecrackers crackled, and the welcoming procession entered the courtyard gate of Nanny Shen's house. The scene suddenly boiled up. After the smoke cleared, a handsome groom in red and flowers appeared In front of everyone.I heard many people say: "The groom is so handsome, he is really a man of talent and looks, a match made in heaven!"... There are so many good things to say.

The welcoming team had a meal at Nanny Shen's house. Even though it was almost done, the groom official Wang Lin visited Nanny Shen and his wife, and then came to Nanny Shen surrounded by a matchmaker and a group of young men. In front of the door of his house, Wang Lin knocked on the door under the instructions of the matchmaker, and saw the door opened a crack, and a tender white hand stretched out from the inside.Wang Lin smiled and took out a big red envelope from his pocket and put it in his little hand.The little hand tightly grasped the red envelope and put it in the door, and then saw a tender white bun coming out of the door, opened the door wide, and said in a childish voice: "Brother, brother, come in quickly, My brother is waiting inside!" After speaking, the thief ran away with a smile.Wang Lin blushed and continued to move forward. The husband who wanted to repay the return, the road ahead was bumpy!

Here, the tender little bun Fu Tianlin got the wallet given by his brother-in-law and ran away happily to show off in front of his little friends. He opened the red envelope in front of everyone's shouting, and it was a whole lot of fun. Twenty copper coins, envious of a group of hanging silk friends, and the adults I met at the same time also said that the people of the Wang family are really generous, and a red envelope is twenty coins.

Here, Wang Lin finally came to pay Tianshan's money after going through a series of checkpoints.These are the rules left by the ancestors, the door opening money, the groom must give it, if you don't give it, you won't open the door, and you can't take the husband away.Most people follow the rules, give what should be given, and take what should be taken, and no one will be so boring as not to give or to ask for more.These are all for fun, to paint a festive and auspicious.

Wang Lin came to Du Fu Tianshan's room now, feeling relaxed but most nervous. Under the gaze of everyone, he knocked on the door one after another. A cousin.Wang Lin quickly gave the red envelope and was let into the room.After a while, Wang Lin came out with Fu Tianshan, who was wearing a wedding dress and a red hijab, and came to the wedding hall. The matchmaker put a flowery red silk in the hands of the two of them, and paid homage to the ancestors here. , the field, the parents, and offered tea to the two elders. After Fu Dahe and Mammy Shen drank the tea, they each reported a red envelope to each of them.Li Cheng!

After Wang Lin took Fu Tianshui to bid farewell to Fu Dahe and his wife for the last time, he was surrounded by a group of people and got on the sedan chair.As the welcoming team set off to go back, there was another long sound of firecrackers, accompanied by the cry of Shen Nai, the sound of persuasion from the crowd, the sound of children playing, and the sound of trumpets and suonas...

On the bridegroom's side, relatives were also sent to pick out the dowry, which is commonly known as the wedding team.These people also gave the new husband a boost of face and confidence by the way.They are all the first relatives and cousins ​​of the bridegroom.In this way, the husband's family will know the new husband? The family is not afraid that you will bully our married brother.Those who send off the bride will go to the hall to have a wedding feast before coming back, and some will not come back until the next day.

On Shenmao's side, some close mothers stayed behind to help tidy up the table, clean up and so on.It wasn't until mid-afternoon that the calculations were finished, and the evening banquet was also prepared. This evening banquet was prepared for those who did not have time to come over to have a wedding banquet during the day, relatives and helpers at home.Although there are not as many people as at noon, there are still five or six tables, and it is still lively.Li Shuhao and Fu Shan were also begged by Nanny Shen to stay, just as Li Shu didn't have to go home to prepare dinner.The crowd ate happily again and didn't leave until midnight.

The newlyweds have to return home for three dynasties.

On this day, Wang Lin and Fu Tianshui drove an ox cart back home early on, loaded with presents.You have to stay at Yue's house for one night, and you can go back the next day.When going back, the Mo family had to bring Fu Lang back with Hou Huo's return gift.In this way, both sides are happy, and it is also a custom.
