The trainee starts by splitting bricks with bare hands

Han Lan and Xia Ningxuan sat opposite each other under the guidance of the waiter, and the beef from the same cow was placed on the table.

The customs of the specific dishes vary from place to place, and the choice of beef here is purely because Han Lan likes to eat it.

And at this moment, it's not that they can really eat all they can, but they just ceremonially pick up a slice and eat half of each, which symbolizes that after eating a pot of rice, they will be a family in the future.

After the ceremony of the same prison, there is the ritual of joint marriage, which is also called "the same prison together" in some places, as a link.

Few people may know about the wedding ceremony, but there should be more people who know about its common name, which is called "making a cup of wine".

But in fact, the marriage ceremony is not as in the film and television works. The husband and wife hold wine glasses and drink with each other's arms. There are other special points.

卺 is a kind of Pao páo melon, that is, gourd.

The wine glass used for the wedding ceremony is to split a gourd into two pieces and connect them together with a red silk thread.

It means that the husband and wife are originally one, but they are divided into two. Now they are brought together by marriage, and they can become one again.

At the same time, gourds are bitter in taste, and wine is also bitter. Drinking the bitter wine in the gourd indicates that after marriage, the couple will share joys and sorrows and share weal and woe.

In addition, "匏" is one of the eight musical instruments in ancient times, and it also contains the meaning of harmony of phonology, so "He 卺" also means that the bride and groom should be harmonious and harmonious after marriage, and become good friends with the harp.

In fact, it is the same as the oath in Western-style weddings, "Whether rich or poor, healthy or sick", it is a vow made by the husband and wife to each other, and it is an outsider's blessing for their marriage.

It's just that the Hua people are more reserved, or they like to use realistic things to symbolize instead of saying it directly.

In addition to the marriage ceremony in the same prison, there is another very classic in the traditional wedding ceremony of Huaguo, which is called the untie knot and hair ceremony, which is also a link that more people know.

There is a red ribbon on the bride's head, which is a hair accessory used to tie the hair.It will be untied at the wedding, and then the husband and wife each cut a strand of hair and tie it together.

That's how the term "married couples" came about.

But in fact, this link is not a necessary link of the Ming wedding, or it will not be taken out and operated in front of all the guests at the wedding.Even if there were, the young couple would cut and play by themselves in the wedding room, and then wrap them in red silk and put them away as a keepsake or something.

Just like the husbands in some costume dramas who give thrushes to the newlyweds, it is a private drama for young couples to promote their relationship.

The same is true of the marriage ceremony mentioned above. Later, it did evolve into a cup of wine that appeared in film and television dramas. When the young couple returns to their new house, they may play again and become more intimate.But in the lobby, it is definitely not possible to show affection so clearly, this is not in line with the implicit tradition of the Hua people.

Therefore, after the wedding ceremony, Han Lan and Xia Ningxuan began to bow three times under the auspices of the ceremony.

It is also the last guest-facing project of the wedding.

After the worship, Li Cheng was sent to the bridal chamber, and went to lift the red hijab.The follow-up private games between the young couple, including getting married and having a glass of wine, are not humane.

In the new house, everything is dominated by red tones, and the layout is very festive.

Of course, there is no need to light candles in pursuit of tradition. Red light bulbs are used inside the lampshade. After the lampshade is softened, the light is actually softer than candles.

The brightness is also appropriate, otherwise it would definitely not be able to achieve the romantic effect in film and television dramas by relying on candles. There are lights lighting outside the camera.

Of course, the most important thing is safety.

"Sister Xuan, are we going out?" An Keke and others escorted them all the way into the new house, and stopped following them. She greeted them with a smile and closed the door for them.

It is impossible to make trouble in the bridal chamber. This bad habit will cause them to be hanged to the door by Han Lan to show the public.

After the three prostrations, the groom and the bride will also hold hands, holding hands and growing old together, so now there is no need for red silk, they can directly hold hands and take Xia Ningxuan to the bedside to sit down.

A tray was already placed on the table, and on the tray was a jade ruyi covered with red silk.

According to tradition, the bride's red hijab can only be uncovered by the groom's official, but not directly with hands, and a special ritual vessel is required.

Those who have conditions use Yu Ruyi, and those who have no conditions use Ruyi, also called Xi.It's actually a scale.

But now that the times have changed, it is not so easy to find the scale beam.

So, I found someone to order such a jade ruyi.

"Have I revealed it?" Han Lan rubbed her hands and picked up Yu Ruyi, bending down in front of the bride with a little excitement.

"Yeah." Xia Ningxuan responded, and put her hands on her thighs nervously.

In ancient times, couples could not see each other before the bridal chamber, so when the red hijab was lifted, it was the first meeting of the couple, which was a very important moment for both of them.

Although Han Lan and Xia Ningxuan had known each other for a long time, in this atmosphere, they couldn't help being a little excited, looking forward to seeing each other when they lifted the red hijab.

It's like opening a box. You know what's inside, but you still have expectations.

Han Lan took Yu Ruyi and gently lifted the red hijab away. As the red hijab was lifted, the two happened to meet each other's eyes, and they happened to see the best side of each other.Everything is just right.

Perhaps, this is the romance that the Chinese people are after.

Chapter 1008 Who Am I Yours?

Outside the window of the new house, a few thieves were lying under the window sill in the dark.

"Enkeke, did you hear anything?" Liu Rong asked in a very low voice.

"Shh, don't make noise, Han Lan will come out and kick you to death later!" An Keke threatened in a low voice, and then continued to press her ears against the wall.

"Sister Keke, there's nothing interesting about this, right? There's a banquet in the front yard, why don't we go eat something first?" Qiu Yushi persuaded in a low voice.

"Go, go, foodies, don't make noise!" An Keke said impatiently.

Everyone looked at each other helplessly, and they withdrew first, not daring to stay any longer, leaving only Liu Rong who was courageous enough to accompany her to eavesdrop on the young couple's private conversation.

Liu Rong was also very helpless. He didn't expect An Keke to stay here to eat dog food instead of going to the front banquet to eat delicious food?

The key point is that I didn’t seem to eat dog food. Although it is an antique building, it is actually a modern building. The windows look like paper windows, but they are actually electroplated glass with sound insulation.

They lay here and could barely hear what was going on inside.

Enkeke was a little skinny, and her little hand quietly touched the window and tried to open a small slit. Unexpectedly, the window was really unlocked, and it could be opened with a little effort.

It's just that, afraid of attracting the attention of the people inside, Enkeke only carefully moved a little bit away.

Liu Rong was terrified watching from the sidelines, and dared not speak out.

Now that the window was open, Enkeke was naturally not satisfied with eavesdropping, so he squinted his eyes and peeked inside.

Liu Rong couldn't help but leaned over, and the two pouted their buttocks together to watch the young couple discuss the mysteries of the universe.

The lighting inside is in warm tones, which looks very warm and very emotional.

It can be seen that Han Lan has already lifted the red hijab, and Xia Ningxuan is sitting on the bedside, very close to each other.

Huh?

The two suppressed their aunt's laughter, quietly frustrating their little hands and looking forward to the follow-up development.
