Suddenly a burst of firecrackers sounded, which startled Su Lin.
Could someone be dead? Su Lin was suddenly shocked because he remembered that the reason why Mu Xue came back was because her grandma was seriously ill. It couldn't be...
Thinking of this, Su Lin also walked quickly towards the village.
However, what surprised Sulin was that there didn't seem to be many people in the village, because he found that many houses were empty and empty.
He quickly rushed towards the place where the firecrackers were set off, and the next thing he saw was a wedding team.
There were more than ten people in the wedding team, and everyone was dressed in Miao costumes. There were men and women. One of them, a man in his thirties, was carrying an umbrella, and there was a live duck hanging on the top of the umbrella.
Flapping its wings.
There was a wine bottle hanging on his waist, and Su Lin didn't know what was in it.
Around the wedding team, there were some Miao people, obviously they were watching the fun, and of course there were many children.
Su Lin was also interested. The reason was very simple. He had attended many weddings, both Chinese and Western, but he had never attended a Miao wedding.
So Su Lin also mixed in the crowd and followed the wedding procession.
Soon, a group of them arrived at the door of the woman's house. Immediately, a group of Miao women came out, holding wine bottles, wine bottles and wine glasses in their hands, forming a "wine card".
As soon as the wedding team arrived, they immediately started to toast. Su Lin watched this scene with great interest. They said they were toasting, but in fact they were pouring wine.
However, the people who were welcoming the bride obviously expected this scene. The people they sent were very good drinkers and quickly passed the wine bottle. Su Lin also followed the crowd and moved forward slowly.
When he arrived at the gate, Su Lin looked at the scene inside and couldn't help but take a breath.
The reason is very simple. There is a long table placed across the door, and a horn cup filled with wine is hung on the left and right door posts above the long table. As soon as the bride-to-be arrived, the host was
Grab him and force him to drink.
Su Lin didn't look at being drunk, his eyes fell on the long table. He had never seen a Miao people get married, so he was more interested.
There is a cooked rooster on the table near the shrine, but it has been cut into pieces and then reassembled into its original shape. The thighs, wings and chicken feet have not been cut off.
In a large wooden basin next to it were placed pig head, pork liver, pork loin, pig heart, pig lung, pig paws, and a basin of glutinous rice; three bowls of wine. The rest of the table was filled with sumptuous wine and meat.
Sitting in the middle of the courtyard was the woman's head of family.
The man's family finally finished drinking and sat on the right side of the long table. On the left sat the woman's "wine maker", "middle-aged man" and the relatives and friends accompanying the guests.
After everyone sat down, they slowly became quiet. Su Lin watched coldly, watching from the door. The host of the woman's family stood up at this time, and then said with a smile: "Today is an auspicious day, tonight
It is a peaceful night. The guests and hosts are sitting on both sides. The happiest thing in life is today, and the happiest thing is tonight. Jin Dan will be a couple only if he likes it, and A Jiao will be a couple only if she is willing. The ancestors are polite in front, and the descendants follow behind. I wish the guests and hosts the best
From family to family, we wish the bride and groom to grow old together."
There was a strong flavor of dialect in the voice. If Su Lin himself was not a language expert, he might not be able to understand it.
After the ceremonial words were finished, two bowls of wine were picked up and presented to the "wine masters" of both parties.
At this time, the "wine drinkers" on both sides also smiled and stood up at the same time. However, they did not drink directly. Instead, they dropped a few drops on the ground before each drank.
The master of ceremonies then took out two chicken legs, and then gave one to each of the two "wine masters", exchanging them with each other.
Su Lin looked confused, but at this time, an elder sister holding a child began to explain to the children around her, and Su Lin happened to hear it.
It turns out that they dropped wine on the ground to worship their ancestors. The exchange of chicken legs meant that from now on, everyone would have food and clothing.
However, Su Lin's eyes still fell on those people. The chicken legs they exchanged were placed on the table and not eaten in public. He didn't know why.
The master of ceremonies stood up again and poured a cup of wine for each of the two "steers", and they exchanged glasses again. The eldest sister next to them explained again that this was to ensure that the bride and groom would have good fortune and longevity.
After finishing the drink, the man's "sider" took out the one yuan and two cents he had prepared from his pocket. When Su Lin heard that the one yuan and two cents was a gift, he almost bit off his tongue.
.
Damn, Su Lin even thought that marrying a Miao daughter-in-law was a great deal.
This was not over yet. Soon the master of ceremonies also brought a bowl of wine to each of the "middle men" on both sides, and the "middle men" also stood up and took the wine at the same time, and they embraced each other across the table.
He also took two chicken wings and handed them to the "middle man" on both sides, and the "middle man" took them and exchanged them with each other.
The eldest sister of the Miao people said that this was a bridge for both parties to establish a close relationship from now on.
Immediately afterwards, several women came out of the house, all holding betrothal ribbons in their hands, and then tied the betrothal ribbons to the betrothal gifts.
Of course, they also tied betrothal ribbons around the waists of those who welcomed the bride. At first glance, it seemed as if everyone was wearing a pleated skirt, and it looked like a white flower tree.
At this time, everyone began to applaud and cheer, and Su Lin himself also applauded subconsciously.
The man’s “wine-keeper” stood up at this time and said, “Now you can invite the bride to come out!”
"Invite the bride to come out of the palace!"
As the woman's family yelled "Sjiu", the door of the back room opened, and then two old ladies escorted a young and beautiful woman in Miao costumes and slowly walked out.
The woman was extremely beautiful, but there was no smile on her face. Instead, she had a scowl on her face. She was struggling constantly, but the two old women around her were very strong and held her down to prevent her from resisting.
After Su Lin saw the bride's appearance clearly, the expression on his face could not help but darken.
The reason is very simple, because he knows the bride, it is none other than Mu Xue who sent Su Lin a distress message after returning home.
"I won't marry, and I won't marry until my death! Let me go, let me go!"
Suddenly Mu Xue began to struggle violently, shouting from time to time.
"Presumptuous!" At this time, the man sitting at the head of the long table also stood up. He turned around and looked at Mu Xue, as if he wanted to scold her, but seeing the look on Mu Xue's face
His stubborn expression finally softened, he sighed and said: "Xue'er, we have already accepted the betrothal gift, we can't go back on it!"
