Usually, the "goose cage", "sea of wine", dragon and phoenix wedding cakes, elbows, and wedding fruits sent by the man to the woman are all real, but the clothes and jewelry are paper artifacts.》.》
The dowry given by the woman is usually made of paper. After it is delivered to the man, it is only displayed in front of the "groom's" photo or memorial tablet for half a day. Some are just carried around the man's courtyard, led by drums, and then sent to a nearby open space for incineration.
The above-mentioned ceremonies do not necessarily need to be held in yin marriages, but the wedding ceremony is indispensable. A large tent is set up in the sky, relatives and friends are entertained, and a sedan chair is lit in front of the door.
In the wedding room, "hundred percent" of the whole god is enshrined.
There is a low table on the Kang opposite, for the "groom"'s photo or memorial tablet. There are some plates of apples and dragon and phoenix wedding cakes in front of it. There is also a big red flower with the word "groom" written on it on a ribbon.
The photo or memorial tablet of the bride in the woman's "boudoir" is as provided before, with a big red flower, a ribbon attached, and the words "Bride" written on it.
After the sedan chair arrives at the bride's side, the bride's photo or tablet will be taken down by the bride-to-be wife, and the wedding wife will take it over and place it in the sedan chair.
At this time, the "bride's" parents would inevitably cry loudly and chase her out of the house.
It's not the atmosphere for a happy event at all.
After the wedding sedan returns to the groom's side, the marrying wife will still take out the photo or tablet of the "bride" and place it on the altar table on the Kang in the wedding room, alongside the "groom". The two photos will be tied up with a red-headed rope (take Yue Lao)
(meaning to hold the red thread), and covered with red and yellow colored silk. "Mixed glasses of wine", "descendants dumplings", and "longevity noodles" should also be offered in front of the memorial tablet or photo of the "newlyweds".
In the future, we will choose a good day to break the ground for burial. The woman will be buried next to the man's grave at the designated time, and the two coffins will have to touch the trough to be buried together.
If the "newlyweds" have younger siblings, brothers-in-law, etc., they are called out and kowtow to the photo or memorial tablet.
The two in-laws congratulated each other.
After holding the above ceremony, choose an "auspicious day" that is suitable for breaking the ground for burial, and the woman can be raised.
According to the time specified by the Feng Shui master, after lifting the coffin hinge, immediately pour a bucket of water into the pit and throw in two apples.
At the same time, red paper money was raised high.
The man would dig a hole on the side of the grave to expose the groove of the "groom's" coffin and bury the "bride" in order to bury the "husband and wife" together.
After the burial, wine and fruits are placed in front of the tomb, red paper money is burned, and a marriage ceremony is held.
The father, mother and other family members of both men and women (that is, the two in-laws) cried and said "great joy".
From then on, the men and women could interact as in-laws.
Generally speaking, yin marriages also need to be introduced through a matchmaker. Both parties go through the portal invitation, go to the life hall to get married, and obtain the dragon and phoenix invitation.
Because most of the commitments in yin marriage are one-time, there is no such thing as big or small commitments.
Half of the betrothal gifts sent by the man to the woman were real silk and satin rulers, gold and silver treasures; the other half were made of paper leather, cotton, clips, a single piece of clothing, two pairs of brocade boxes, containing earrings, bracelets, rings and
Jewelry such as hairpins should be burned at the door of the woman’s house or on her grave that evening.
These are normal methods of underworld marriage. However, in China, a humane society, there are still some people who specialize in stealing young female or male corpses and specialize in this underworld marriage profession.
They are called "marriage stealers".
It can be said that those who engage in secret marriages are a group of people who are hated by everyone, but yet recognize their existence.
This is a very strange phenomenon.
"Master Su, I wonder if I can help you in any way?" Mr. Li paused and slowly spoke again.
"Mr. Li, I may indeed need your help with this matter, but not now. I have to go over and find out the specific situation first!"
Su Jiu did not refuse Mr. Li's kindness. She only knew about it roughly.
Among the brothers in the dormitory, Zhao Ren is from Guangd. The custom of shadow marriage is very popular there.
But for some unknown reason, Zhao Ren was involved in this.
The second brother called and just said that he hoped to come over, but did not explain the matter clearly.
Things that can make the second child rush back from school are definitely not small things.
Judging from the tone of the second child's words, it is very likely that he is involved with some powerful people.
Su Jiu knew in her heart that Zhao Ren's family, the second oldest, was just an ordinary family.
"Okay. Master Su, if you need anything, just call me. I can still talk to the Li family in Guangdong." After receiving Su Jiu's approval, Mr. Li said happily.
said.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Li. I have to ask Mr. Li to make arrangements. I will rush there this afternoon." Su Jiu sat up straight and said.
"good!"
Mr. Li readily agreed.
It's not far from Sh City to Guangd. In this society with convenient transportation and convenient travel, it only takes an hour or two.
At noon, after having a sumptuous lunch at Li’s hometown, the driver took Su Jiu directly to the high-speed rail station.
Zhao Ren's hometown is in Guangdong Province. It is not very far from the provincial capital city Guangz, which is more than an hour away.
Su Jiu took the high-speed train directly from Sh City to Guangz, and then took a bus to Zhao Ren's house. This was Su Jiu's plan.
There is a saying in China that the richest place is also in Guangdong, and the poorest place is also in Guangdong.
Yes, Zhao Ren's home is in a small mountain village in the south of Yunf City.
This is an ethnic minority autonomous region.
Here, some old Chinese customs are well preserved.
But, similarly, its economy can be said to be very backward, and the ideas of the older generation have always been deep in people's hearts.
Zhao Ren's home is in the south of the county, which is more than an hour's drive from Guangz. Of course, this is just to the county seat. It takes more than two hours to actually go to Zhao Ren's village.
The mountain road is rugged and it takes a sunny day to drive in. There is only one shuttle bus every day.
If it rains, it is impossible to travel at all and you can only walk.
Su Jiu only needs to reach the county seat in the south of the county.
Because Zhao Ren's father was detained in the county detention center.
Starting from Sh City, Su Jiu quickly arrived at Guangz City. After getting off the high-speed rail, he directly picked up a taxi without asking about the price. He just dialed the meter and set off towards Junnan.
When Su Jiu arrived at Junnan, it was already four or five o'clock in the afternoon.
The sunset has begun to set.
Su Jiu, who was still sitting in the taxi, took out her phone, pressed a number, and dialed it.
"Second brother, I arrived in Junnan, where are you?" When the call was connected, Su Jiu asked directly without any nonsense.
"Lao San, where are you? I'll come to pick you up!"
