The first thousand two hundred and ninety-six chapters
At the wedding banquet, the bride and groom must also toast the elderly on both sides, which means the return of children's grace for raising children, the birth of another new family, and the incense of inheritance has been ignited, which is the content of a better life for the elderly. Therefore, there is a saying among the people that "marrying a wife and marrying a daughter is often intoxicated by the parents."
After the bride and groom toast the elderly on both sides at the wedding banquet, they had to go to their relatives and friends to toast. Now Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping and Liu Jingjing have started to toast.
It's okay to toast with your relatives. Everyone is a relative, so it won't be too difficult for Zhao Chaogang and others. They just drank a little wine. However, Zhao Chaogang suffered a "major disaster" at the banquets of those officials and the banquets of Zhao Chaogang and their friends.
These people toasted them in an absolute big glass, and the wine they drank for Zhao Chaogang was not brought by Zhao Chaogang himself (when toasting at the banquet, the groom usually brought his own wine, and many of them were boiled water to avoid getting drunk). They were all the wine on their banquet. After a circle, Zhao Chaogang drank seven or eight kilograms of wine.
If Zhao Chaogang hadn’t been a cultivator now, his body would have naturally digested alcohol, Zhao Chaogang would have been 100% down now.
In fact, Zhao Chaogang could have used some wine mixed with boiled water to fool him, but Zhao Chaogang really didn't want to fake it at the banquet when he got married. When he started getting married, he started to fake it. Will there be illusions in his future life? Therefore, Zhao Chaogang did not use his magic power to drive out the alcohol power in his body. He is a man, and he must be responsible if he is a man. What is a few pounds of wine?
Fortunately, the officials on the table, including Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping and Liu Jingjing, knew how to advance and retreat, and did not desperately drink Zhao Chaogang's wine. Therefore, Zhao Chaogang could have escaped. Otherwise, if everyone would pay a few glasses of wine to Zhao Chaogang, Zhao Chaogang's body would automatically quench the wine, and in the end he would have to fall into the ground.
Everyone was very satisfied with the wedding banquet today, especially the dishes on the wedding banquet. This made these people who came to attend the wedding banquet satisfied thousands of times.
The dishes on the wedding banquet are extremely rich and taste extremely good, especially those dishes made of wild beast meat, which makes these people who come to the wedding banquet feel like they have a long life.
The taste of the four-horned deer and the colorful snail is really delicious and unforgettable!
Of course, many people have a new understanding of Zhao Chaogang and the Liu family’s background.
After all, Zhao Gang, the innate master, and Zhao Cheng, the head of the Jade District, were so close to Zhao Chaogang when he talked to him. Or directly spoke to Zhao Chaogang as an equal identity. It can be seen that Zhao Chaogang's identity is definitely not as simple as it appears, and Zhao Chaogang has a stronger identity. Therefore, many people began to pay attention to Zhao Chaogang.
The wedding banquet lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon. Before the wedding banquet ended, Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping and Liu Jingjing returned to their new house with everyone's congratulations, preparing to welcome the bridal chamber of relatives and friends.
In China, when men and women get married, having a bridal chamber is an indispensable procedure. Not only do they have a happy family, but their relatives and friends are also happy to take the opportunity to make the bride and groom "sit in the city of sleepy and sorrow" and laugh and cry, thus adding a more festive atmosphere to the wedding.
The bridal chamber is "no size for three days". The bride and groom's parents are often teased and teased by others and even younger generations. The person who is teased and teased cannot be angry, so as not to destroy the festive atmosphere of the newlyweds.
Of course, people who make trouble in the bridal chamber should not be too out of order, and should not make trouble for too long, so as not to affect the rest of the newlyweds. Especially, they should not make rude and cause unpleasant things.
There are often reports that excessive physical and mental harm to the bride and groom due to the bridal chamber, and even causing the bride to be injured and paralyzed. In this way, the bridal chamber is exceeded and should be taken as a warning.
The bridal chamber is also known as "tricking the wife" and "quarreling the room", and it is held on the night of the wedding.
The method is to send the lanterns first, and hold the students early. After sending the lanterns, no matter the elders, peers, or juniors, gather in the new house to congratulate the newcomers. There are many jokes, and there are many taboos. There are sayings such as "no big or small in three days" and "the more you make a fuss, the more you make a fuss, the more you make a fuss."
In the past, when guests were having sex, they would pretend to be beautiful or start to do things. After talking and joking, they would make people laugh, and it would not make much sense to make them laugh. No matter how noisy, the host should not be angry, and the more the noise becomes, the more happy it will be.
After 1950, when the wedding chamber was in a bridal chamber, they often asked various questions to the bride and asked them to answer them. They were civilized, polite and interesting. Some also teased the brides, and the bridesmaids often received half of the brides. In order to resist the teasing, they often used candy to mess with the bridal chamber people.
After the wedding chamber, the bride had to roll out noodles and make soup for descendants, thinking that it would be a long time to grow old and have a lot of descendants. The bride then feeds the animals, symbolizing taking over housework, working together to get rich together. The bed was paved by elders, and most of them were followed by male elders. While laying, she said: "Old man lays the kang, and the children are two rows." Finally, the sister-in-law sent the urinary pot.
On the wedding night, the bright lights are burning in the long night, the bride opens the counter, the bride opens the counter, the groom tries his shoes, the couple talks, the ears eavesdropping outside the window stick to the wall, if you get a word, it will be spread to people for many years.
Of course, these customs of bridal chambers are not preserved now. With the progress of the times, the way of bridal chambers is constantly improving.
The custom of bridal chambers began in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, and the wedding was simple and solemn. Confucius described the marriage scene at that time in "Book of Rites? Zengzi Question" and said: "When a daughter is married, she will not stop candles for three days, and she will not stop with each other; when a married family is married, she will not hold fun for three days, and she will not miss her elders for her relatives." This reflects the simple customs of pre-Qin weddings, and there is no noisy and riotous scene of grand ceremony.
After entering the Han Dynasty, the social economy developed greatly. People no longer satisfied with the old-fashioned and dull old-style weddings, no longer stick to the ancient saying of "no fun for three days", and began to hold big celebrations, making the weddings festive colors.
There are two opinions about the origin of the custom of bridal chambers in our country.
One theory comes from exorcising evil spirits and avoiding disasters: According to legend, Zi Weixing came to earth a long time ago and met a woman wearing mourning clothes on the road, following a group of wedding reception teams. He saw that the devil was waiting for an opportunity to do evil, so he followed the groom's house and saw that the woman had arrived first and hid in the bridal chamber.
When the groom and the bride was about to enter the bridal chamber after worshiping the heaven and earth, Zi Weixing guarded the door and refused to let him in, saying that there was a devil hidden inside. Everyone asked him to give him some advice on how to eliminate demons, and he suggested: "The devil is most afraid of many people. If there are many people, the devil will not dare to commit evil."
So the groom invited the guests to play and joke in the bridal chamber, and drove away the evil ghosts with laughter; sure enough, at the fifth o'clock in the morning, the devil finally escaped.
It can be seen that the bridal chamber was concealed from the beginning of the color of exorcising evil spirits and avoiding disasters.
Another view on the origin of bridal chambers is that bridal chambers first appear in the north. At the beginning, they were mainly grooms, which was probably related to the living habits of northern ethnic groups. They used hunting and nomadic life as their means of life, which made men very brave and brave. To endure beaten bars during weddings can prove that a man is a qualified real man.
Some backward nations in the world demonstrated their men's qualifications by self-harm and abuse, and even used the hunted heads as tokens to court, which may have the same righteousness. The bridal chambers retained this primitive custom in ancient times.
There are customs to wield evil spirits in the north and south. Before the newlyweds enter the bridal chamber, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the groom must sleep in the bridal chamber the night before. In advance, two girls are asked to hold red candles to illuminate the new house;
People from Tianjin ask the blowjob team to blowjob in the new house for good luck. After the new people enter the room, it is still very important to drive out the evil spirit in the room.
For example, when the eastward rises, the groom will symbolically shoot an arrow at each corner of the new house after entering the house, or hold a single knife in his hand and slash at each corner, and sing: "One chops the demon, two chops the monsters, three chops the devil's heads, four chops the gods of devastating death, and leave quickly, smile and watch the Qilin send his son."
A more common custom is to have a long-lasting light built into a new house. This is what the so-called "breeding room" means. Some scholars have studied that the custom of "listening to the room" is essentially a protection measure to prevent ghosts from entering the bridal chamber.
There is another beautiful legend about bridal chambers and honeymoons:
The history of Chinese civilization has been more than 5,000 years ago. People still call marriage "entering a bridal chamber". Although humans transitioned from cave-style living to today's high-rise buildings, the term "entering a bridal chamber" has not changed to this day. I have never seen anyone change "entering a bridal chamber" to "entering a building".
Legend has it that this was stipulated by our ancestor Xuanyuan Huangdi. Huangdi defeated Chiyou, quelled the war, established a tribal alliance, stopped group marriages, ended the barbaric era, and the era of human civilization began from then on.
In the human era when people are used to group marriage, it is not easy to change it to monogamy at once! This was probably a great revolution five thousand years ago. For the newly unified tribal alliance, the group marriage system has extremely unfavorable factors. There are often cases of marriage robbery, not only men robbing women, but also women robbing men.
The tribes of the new alliance often had fights and fights over marriage robbery. Over time, the conflicts would inevitably intensify and the tribes would have a possibility of re-dividing them. Huangdi often frowned for this matter. He found the ministers Chang Xian, Dahong, Feng Hou, Li Mu, Cangjie and others around him, and repeatedly discussed how to stop group marriages and establish monogamy. No one came up with a feasible solution.
One day, Huangdi followed a group of giants to inspect whether the caves lived in the group were safe. Suddenly, he found that the family lived in three caves. In order to prevent wild animals, a high wall was built with stones around him, leaving only one person's doorway to enter and exit. This discovery immediately aroused Huangdi's interest.
That night he summoned all the ministers around him, and Huangdi said, "I have an idea to stop group marriages. I will tell you it and let everyone discuss it. Is it OK?" All the ministers asked Huangdi to speak quickly.
Huangdi said: "Today we saw the cave where the people live. I think the only way to stop group marriage is to be a man and a woman in the future. When getting married, we will gather the people of the tribe to come to congratulate you, and have a lucky ceremony to worship the heaven and earth, and worship parents, and the couples to worship each other.
Then, we celebrate, sing and dance, and announced that the two have officially gotten married. Finally, we sent the couple into the cave (room) prepared in advance, and a high wall was built around them, leaving only one door when entering and leaving. The meals and drinking water were sent by the relatives of both men and women, ranging from March to forty days, so that they could establish a relationship between husband and wife in the cave, learn to cook fire, and learn how to live.
In the future, any man and woman who get married into a wedding chamber is called formal marriage, and no longer allowed to steal other men and women. In order to distinguish between married and unmarried women, a married woman must tie her hair into a knot. When people see, they know that the woman is married, the man can no longer have other plans, otherwise he will violate the tribal laws."
After Huangdi finished speaking this proposal, he immediately received support from Chang Xian, Dahong, Li Mu and others. The public suggested that Cangjie write a law and publish it to the public. This proposal was soon supported and supported by the people of various tribes.
People are scrambling to dig holes (houses) for their children and build high walls. Whenever their children get married, they will be sent to the bridal chamber after the ceremony. The bad habit of group marriage gradually disappears.
However, the habitual forces that have been used for thousands of years are the most terrible forces. They are deeply rooted and cannot be completely changed overnight. Some people are not used to monogamous life.
It is said that there is a pair of hunting experts, the man is called Shi Xiong and the woman is called Mu Miao. The parents of both parties agreed to marry each other. After the wedding, they were sent to the bridal chamber.
After living for less than ten days, Shi Xiaowei began to feel that she only accompanied one girl all day. What's the point? It's better to marry a group. You can accompany each other if you like, and you can find two or three a day.
Mumiya also felt uncomfortable entering the bridal chamber. She had no fun with a man all day. It was better to be free in group marriage. She fell in love with a man for a few days, and then looked for another man after a few days.
Because both of them had the idea of not wanting to live a monogamous life, one night, while the night was quiet, both of them crossed the wall and fled.
Shi Xiong and Mu Mi both escaped into the forest and could not find a place where people could be found. The more anxious they were, the more lost they were on the road. They did not carry hunting tools, for fear of wild beasts. After dawn, they were thirsty and hungry, and the two of them came together unknowingly.
In order to save lives, the two had to rely on each other, pick wild fruits and mushrooms all day long to satisfy their hunger. Because they got lost, they couldn't get out of the forest for a while. I really didn't know what to do?
Finally, they realized that no one could do without each other. One day, they were really thirsty, hungry and tired, and they were lying under a big tree to rest. A group of bees buzzed and circled on both ends. A stone clenched a branch and beaten them from left to right to disperse the bee swarm.
Unexpectedly, the bees were angry and stung the two of them to their noses and faces. The stone wool found that the bees were coming out of the cracks of the tree and took out the flints they carried with them. He asked Mu Mi to pick up dry firewood and quickly lit a pile of fire. They pulled out fire sticks from the fire and burned towards the cracks on the big tree's body.
In an instant, the bees burned their wings and could never fly. The flames penetrated through the cracks of the tree and burned the hives, and honey seeped out from the cracks of the tree.
At first, the two of them didn't know what was leaking out, but they smelled the fragrance and dipped the stone mattress a little with their hands, put it in their mouths and licked it with their tongues. It was very sweet. He asked Mumi to taste it again. The two of them decided that it was not poisonous and quickly picked up some bark and put all the honey that flowed out.
From this day on, the two of them collected mushrooms in the forest and dipped them in honey to satisfy their hunger. They spent a whole month in the forest. Fortunately, they were discovered by Yu Ze, a hunting expert under Huangdi, and then they rescued the stone wool and the wooden seedlings.
After more than a month of tossing and terrifying in the forest, the couple was worried and worried all day long, fearing that wild beasts would come to attack, no one would want to separate, and no one could leave each other. Only when the couple's relationship became deeper and deeper, did they truly understand the taste of love.
After returning to the tribe, the stone wool and the wooden seedlings were never separated again, and the couple established a happy family from then on. This is the origin of "entering the bridal chamber and taking a honeymoon", which has been passed down to this day.
Of course, there are also quite vulgar ways to make wedding chambers in some rural areas. For example, hiding frogs in the quilt of a newcomer, the newcomer will be scared when he opens the quilt. There is also a scary firecrackers outside the new house in the middle of the night, which scares the newcomer, which makes the newcomer not dare to sleep all night.
Even worse, the tiles on the roof of the new house were lifted up in the middle of the night and poured water in, making the newcomer unable to sleep. These are all unethical and are criticized by the public. Of course, these behaviors are also very rare.
These strange tricks of bridal chambers are also quite vulgar. They are actually a regression of social civilization, and everyone should decisively stop them.
In today's civilized society, this kind of prank should not appear again. The way to make a wedding chamber should be fun, humor, and liven up the atmosphere. Newcomers and relatives and friends should respect each other so that everyone will not part in a bad mood.
However, relatively speaking, whether it is pure folk customs or stories, it is part of Chinese culture and should be selectively retained and carried forward.
Marriage, no matter who it is, after all, a great joy in life and a major event in life.
Everyone is usually very busy and rarely has the opportunity to gather together. Therefore, having a bridal chamber is a good opportunity to communicate and reminisce about the past.
As relatives and friends, it is difficult to get together in small matters, but the marriage of relatives and friends is generally not neglected, so just take this opportunity to make a good deal. As long as the quarrel is reasonable, the quarrel is educated, and the family affection is close, it is still worth the bridal chamber.
During the wedding ceremony of Zhao Chaogang, his relatives and friends did not make things difficult for them so much, and they all stopped.
When they were having a bridal chamber, they were asked to perform some programs that Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping and Liu Jingjing, such as singing, dancing, some little magic, and guessing riddles.
Of course, not everyone chose such a simple program. For example, Cai Chanjuan and the others Liu Jingjing's best friend posed a problem for Zhao Chaogang.
Zhao Chaogang is eleven years older than Cai Chanjuan and the others, so Zhao Chaogang is an uncle-level existence in the eyes of Cai Chanjuan and the others. Now seeing the tender and tender Jingjing married the "Uncle", Cai Chanjuan and Liu Jingjing's best friends want to stand up for Liu Jingjing, so they racked their brains to find a difficult problem to make things difficult for Zhao Chaogang.
Cai Chanjuan and the others covered Zhao Chaogang's eyes with cloth, then mixed Li Liping and Liu Jingjing into seven or eight women, allowing Zhao Chaogang, who was blindfolded, to choose which two of his brides among these seven or eight people.
Once, Zhao Chaogang had to bark like a puppy. In order to increase the difficulty of choosing Zhao Chaogang, Cai Chanjuan also asked the girls to apply the perfume used by Li Liping and Liu Jingjing, so she wanted to make Zhao Chaogang feel uncomfortable.
Cai Chanjuan's calculations are indeed very good. Unfortunately, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. Zhao Chaogang's sense of smell is very sensitive. In addition, some things that Cai Chanjuan doesn't understand, so Zhao Chaogang suddenly found Li Liping and Liu Jingjing among the crowd. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to select Li Liping and Liu Jingjing from seven or eight women without using their spiritual sense.
So why can Zhao Chaogang find out Li Liping and Liu Jingjing so easily? In fact, the reason here is very simple. Because even if other women applied the perfume used by Li Liping and Liu Jingjing, the body fragrance of each woman is the same as the fingerprints on their hands.
It is indeed difficult for other people to distinguish the differences here, but this is a very simple thing for Zhao Chaogang, a cultivator. Therefore, Zhao Chaogang found them very simply based on the unique body fragrance of Li Liping and Liu Jingjing, which made Cai Chanjuan on the side stamp her feet in disappointment.
This most difficult problem was easily solved by Zhao Chaogang. Cai Chanjuan and the others suddenly lost the intention to tease Zhao Chaogang. Next, Cai Chanjuan and the others did not ask any problems to make Zhao Chaogang difficult, which made Zhao Chaogang escape again. (To be continued...)
