i have a small world

In Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, after the matchmaker has "looked at" the appearance of both the man and the woman, the wedding etiquette requires a "wrangling" ceremony, exchanging the birth date of the man and woman, and the man handing over the dowry to the woman to check out face to face.

Most of the dowry gifts are local products from various places, mulberry fabrics, Jiluo silks and satins, tea and gift money.The more dowry the woman has, the better, and she takes the opportunity to show off her wealth.The wedding ceremony and the meeting ceremonies thereafter are similar to those in the north.

Uncle Zhao Chaogang checked for 15 minutes before confirming that everything in the dowry gift was ready. The traditional nine dowry gift combs, embroidered shoes, ruler, cash box, wishful scale, mirror, bucket, scissors, and abacus were all the same. few.

But I believe that if Jingjing looked at the scissors and ruler inside, she would definitely have a headache. Liu Jingjing doesn't know how to be a girl, only Li Liping is better, she will become a little girl, but since Zhao Chaogang said that she wanted to wear Liu Jingjing herself After making the clothes, Liu Jingjing has already started to learn how to be a female celebrity.

Seeing her husband wearing the clothes she made, how does Liu Jingjing feel, how comfortable and warm she is.

In addition to these nine traditional betrothal gifts, the others are all betrothal gifts in modern society, such as the three gold betrothal gifts, which have already been prepared.

The origin of the three gold dowry gifts: In China, it is only natural for a girl to receive a dowry gift. To a certain extent, the value of the dowry gift represents the strength and sincerity of the man, and is also related to the face and glory of the woman.Therefore, the three golds have become the highlight of the betrothal gift. The man uses it to show his family background and sincerity, while the woman's family uses it to save face for herself and show off her happiness and sweetness.

Preparation and use of the three golds: The "three golds" are: bracelets, earrings, and necklaces. There are also rings, bracelets, and necklaces as gifts. Anyway, the three types are fine.The material can be gold, platinum, or colored gold, depending on your preference.

The quantity can include two gold necklaces, two bracelets (bracelets), a pair of earrings, etc. Anyway, if the number is even, it means a pair, which is auspicious.

In terms of use, according to the ancient customs, the bride should wear all the "three golds" on the wedding day. It is said that it is to show respect for her husband's family. Yes, that's right.

Although gold, silver, or even platinum can be used for the three dowry gifts, Zhao Chaogang still prepared gold as the three dowry gifts. If it weren't for the Chinese people, gold is the most precious thing and the most representative of wealth. It is not possible to use gold as a betrothal gift, but to use gold essence anyway. Things like gold are too common.

However, in the hearts of all Chinese people, gold is still a symbol of wealth, so Zhao Chaogang still uses gold as the three golds. Fortunately, Pingping and Jingjing also like gold very much.

Of course, Zhao Chaogang would not come up with such outrageous things as the few married couples that were rumored on the Internet a while ago. He was just married, and in order to show off, he directly brought gold jewelry weighing more than ten catties to the bride. The beautiful bride made a golden statue, which made people feel that she was not marrying a daughter-in-law, but a golden statue.

Zhao Chaogang also understands these people. After all, for many people, getting married only once in a lifetime, so no matter how grand it is, it can't be too grand, but there must be a limit to it.

Your bride is covered with gold jewelry, which relatives in your family dare to come to the bridal chamber or something, if after the bridal chamber, you find that many of the gold jewelry are missing, then the wedding banquet will definitely be covered. There is a shadow, but if other people are not allowed to make a bridal chamber to prevent the safety of the gold jewelry, then this marriage is still a marriage. Without the procedure of making a bridal chamber, a marriage is not a marriage.

What's more, if the news spreads that the bride will bring a dozen or even dozens of catties of gold with her when she gets married, God knows if some daring guy will organize a group of people to rob, then the wedding banquet will be It became a 'mixed banquet', with fleeing guests everywhere, and the scene was a mess.

Therefore, Zhao Chaogang would not do such a foolish thing as putting gold jewelry on the bride's body. What he married were Pingping and Jingjing, not two 'golden statues'!
In the betrothal gift prepared by Zhao Chaogang, in addition to the three betrothal gifts, it is the betrothal gift money. This gift money Zhao Chaogang prepared very well. Pingping and Jingjing each have a gold card, which contains 880 Thousand 880 eight yuan red.Anyway, Zhao Chaogang still has tens of billions of Hongtong in his current card, and taking out a dozen or two billion Hongtong is nothing to Zhao Chaogang.

However, Zhao Chaogang will not announce the money, just let Liu Mingxin and Li Bin know about it. Zhao Chaogang spent so much money because he wanted them to show that he valued their daughter, while Pingping and Jingjing The gifts are the same, which means that I will treat them both equally.I believe that by then, Liu Mingxin and his wife, as well as Li Bin and his wife, will feel at ease.

Parents always want their children to be happy all their lives. Although money is not everything, enough money is the guarantee of a happy life.Zhao Chaogang was telling Liu Mingxin and his wife, as well as Li Bin and his wife, that he was 100% able to give Jingjing and Pingping happiness, so they can rest assured.

In addition to these betrothal gifts, Zhao Chaogang had already prepared other betrothal gifts.

Like betrothal cakes: one load (fifty kilograms)

Seafood: There are four types, six types or eight types. The styles and quantities depend on the economic status of the husband.Each style is usually divided into two packs.Among them, hair dish is a must, in order to get rich, and other seafood includes abalone, dried oyster, yuan scallop, mushroom, dried shrimp, squid, sea cucumber, shark fin and fish maw.

Three animals: two pairs of chickens, two males and two females (if the parents are incomplete, one pair is enough); three to five catties of pork can be eaten in pairs (Xizhifei), that is, one piece of chicken will be connected to two, to express a fruitful and sincere respect.

Fish: big fish or dace; it means fishy (sound) gas;

Coconut: Two pairs (one pair is available if the parents are not complete), which means that there is a father (coconut) and a son.

Wine: Four sticks, expressing strong love.

Sijing Fruits: Dried longan, dried lychee, dried walnut and peanut in shell, to bless the prosperity of the descendants, and also contain the meaning of perfection and blessing, endless life.

Fruit: It means vigorous and vigorous.

Four-color sugar: rock sugar, orange cake, wax gourd sugar and golden scallion, which means sweetness and longevity.

Tea and sesame: Because seeds are necessary for planting tea, tea is used as a gift, implying that once a woman enters into a marriage contract, she must keep her promise and never regret it, which is also the "oil hemp tea ceremony".

Tie box (gold gift box): there are lotus seeds, lilies, green strands, cypresses, two pairs of betel nuts, sesame seeds, red beans, mung beans, red dates, dried walnuts, dried longan, red bean ropes, red see, betrothal gold, and gold decorations , dragon and phoenix candles and a couplet.

Incense cannon bracelet gold: incense (without bones and green feet), cannon (big firecrackers and cannons), bracelets (dragon and phoenix paired happiness bracelets).

The preparations for these dowries are all in even numbers, in order to take its meaning of "good things come in pairs".

At seven o'clock in the morning, all the preparations were ready, and Zhao Chaogang and the others set off for the godmother's house.

In the countryside, as long as it is a village, they usually walk to get engaged and get married, and the bride and groom also walk. In this case, it will be more festive and lively.

This time Zhao Chaogang went to the godmother's house on foot, and a matchmaker led the way in front of him, but Zhao Chaogang and Pingping, Jingjing did not know each other through the introduction of a matchmaker, so the matchmaker Zhao Chaogang invited the oldest person in the family The little grandpa is his matchmaker, anyway, such things are very common in the countryside.

With a matchmaker, the guide boy is also indispensable.

Of course, there are also requirements for such guide boys, at least they must be the children of their own relatives, one on each side, and one boy and one girl.The matter of guiding the boy was very easy for Zhao Chaogang. There were many relatives and children in his family. In the end, the children of Zhao Chaogang's second brother and eldest cousin became the guiding boy. Behind the guiding boy, all the betrothal gifts prepared by Zhao Chaogang followed behind Zhao Chaogang.

The betrothal gifts prepared by Zhao Chaogang were all carried by people, and they were all packed in some baskets, which were opened for everyone to see.This is done to show the quality of the man's family, and it is also for the woman's family to show others that her daughter will never suffer when she gets married. This is an essential procedure for engagement.

Of course, there are also some relatives of Zhao Chaogang, such as Zhao Chaogang's eldest brother, second brother, eldest cousin, second cousin, etc. These relatives follow Zhao Chaogang's surroundings, and along the way, these relatives of Zhao Chaogang will stop The setting off of kicks and firecrackers, on the one hand, highlights the festive excitement, on the other hand, it has the meaning of auspiciousness and prosperity, and it also means to drive away the evil spirits on the road and to report safety.

As soon as the second kick and firecrackers sounded, Zhao Chaogang and the others officially set off. Of course, as soon as they heard the sound of firecrackers and second kicks, the villagers in the village also went out to watch the fun. Many people passed by Zhao Chaogang's house Every time, they will send a blessing or something, and Zhao Chaogang will also be very friendly and give this villager a pack of candies, a pack of incense, etc. This is also a kind of etiquette.

The more people who come to congratulate you, the happier your life will be in the future.

There were even some villagers who took the initiative to set off firecrackers when Zhao Chaogang and the others passed by. These people went to work in Zhao Chaogang's restaurant, or received the favor of Zhao Chaogang's love clinic in the village, so they wanted to use such Way to express gratitude to Zhao Chaogang.

Not to mention how much the villagers of Zhaojiacun who were brought by Zhao Chaogang to the restaurant he opened felt grateful to Zhao Chaogang, the old people in the Zhao family were more sincere and strong in their gratitude to Zhao Chaogang.

Once a person gets old, various ailments in the body will follow, and in many cases, these ailments will not only make the life of the elderly very painful in their later years, but most importantly, they will greatly drag down the family. Inside, so, many old people are actually worried about their illness or something, but all these things don't exist in Zhaojia Village now.

The love clinic established by Zhao Chaogang has completely eliminated the worries in the hearts of the elderly in Zhaojia Village. The elderly in Zhaojia Village no longer dare to speak out when they are sick. They can go to the Love Clinic in the village to see a doctor.

In the love clinic in the village, if you only see a doctor, you don’t need to pay if you don’t take medicine. Do some volunteer work in the village, or go up the mountain to pick some common Chinese herbal medicine to compensate for medical expenses.

Of course, if you are too old to do these things, you can let your son replace them.

It is these surname measures that make all the villagers in Zhaojia Village no longer have to worry about seeing a doctor. In addition, Zhao Chaogang lost to the puppet's extremely strong medical skills. It is the medicine that cures the disease, even the terminally ill disease can be controlled for you, which makes the villagers of Zhaojia Village thank Zhao Chaogang from the bottom of their hearts.

Therefore, when the police came to arrest Zhao Chaogang last time, the villagers of Zhaojia Village came to help Zhao Chaogang so unitedly. This time when Zhao Chaogang got engaged, they also set off firecrackers to congratulate Zhao Chaogang in such a united manner. This is Zhao Chaogang It is a good reward for doing things sincerely for the villagers of Zhaojia Village.

Good returns are good, this sentence is indeed good!

Amidst the sound of firecrackers all the way, and the farewell of the villagers in the village, Zhao Chaogang and the others came to the place 5 meters in front of the godmother's house in less than 30 minutes. They just saw the house of the godmother's house. The firecrackers on the side started to ring violently, which was telling Liu Jingjing that Li Liping and the others, Zhao Chaogang and the others had arrived, and with the violent sound of firecrackers on Zhao Chaogang's side, violent firecrackers also sounded in front of the godmother's house The sound, and Zhao Chaogang and the others entered the godmother's house amidst the sound of firecrackers all over the sky.

As soon as he entered the godmother's house, Zhao Chaogang came to Li Bin and his wife, as well as Liu Mingxin and his wife, and kowtowed to them. Jingjing's eight-character document was handed over to Li Bin and Liu Mingxin respectively, and after Li Bin and Liu Mingxin took these two things, they handed them to the person on the other side. After receiving the gift list and the eight-character document, they came to the godmother At the door of the house, the gift list and the eight-character document were read out loud. This is for the family to show others that the son-in-law they chose is very rich, and their daughter will not suffer hardships when they marry, so they can earn face for the woman's family. Meaning of flaunting happiness and sweetness.

Of course, the amount of money for the two gold cards prepared by Zhao Chaogang was only 880 yuan on the gift list. In this case, everyone can accept it. If the actual amount is really written, Zhao The villagers in Jiacun really couldn't accept it. (To be continued.)
