Chapter 225 What I want is just a psychological comfort
Su Keke's master mentioned this bad habit to her many times. Even now, this bad habit still continues in many areas, all of which are remote and backward places.
Different places have different views on shadow marriage.
In some places, it is called "making a marriage in the shadow", in other places it is called "marrying a ghost", and there are also other terms such as "matching in the shadow", "seeking a ghost wife", and "ghost marriage".
The "building bones" that Su Keke just mentioned is a term used in remote places in the north.
Qin Mochen saw that the little girl had a serious expression and seemed a little worried, so he asked, "Want to go out and take a look?"
Su Keke shook his head: "Uncle, it's not because I haven't seen it before that I want to see it, but"
The little girl had a sullen face and hesitated for a while before continuing: "Yin marriage is more than just the dead and the dead. What I just said is that ghosts marry ghosts and ghosts marry ghosts.
There is another kind, which is for both the dead and the living, that is, marrying a ghost wife or marrying a ghost husband.”
Su Keke looked out the window, "I wonder what kind of restaurant this is outside? If it's the latter, it would be too immoral."
If a living person marries a dead person or a living person marries a dead person, once the ceremony is successful, it means that the living person will be married to the dead person for the rest of his life.
Ghost husbands/ghost wives will not come back to life, but they will haunt each other for a lifetime and consume each other's yang life span, so living people will lose their life span. People who could originally live to be 80 years old will only be left after they have a yin relationship with a ghost.
A lifespan of about forty.
In fact, it is wrong to say that solitary graves are not good for family homes.
In addition to the resentment caused by babies who die in their mother's womb, how can those children who already know how to be grateful harm their relatives after death?
In the final analysis, it is just for the elderly to seek psychological comfort.
"After this ceremony is held, will the ghosts of the deceased really become husband and wife?" Qin Mochen asked.
"Yes, that's why more problems will arise. Various problems will arise after living people get married. If a ghost is married to a ghost, it is more likely to cause problems."
"Come on, let's go out and take a look."
When the two of them went out, Yin Shaoli and Zhou's mother also got dressed and came out. The others probably didn't go out because they were unlucky.
Not far after the team passed by, when Su Keke looked over, he could still see two people carrying a big red sedan chair made of paper. In front of it were three people playing music, one playing the drum, one blowing the trumpet, and one playing the suona.
"Why are you two coming out? I just advised this young man not to come out and see. There is nothing good to see. It is unlucky to see such things." Zhou's mother looked helpless.
"Aunt Zheng, do you know about this secret relationship?" Su Keke asked.
"You don't know, it's Dunzi's family who is going to marry the ghost wife!"
Su Keke was surprised, "Didn't you say that Zhou Dun had just died a few days ago and that the secret kiss would be held so soon?"
Although it is a shady marriage, according to custom, it must first be introduced through a matchmaker, both parties must go through the portal, and then choose an "auspicious day".
Today is only the fourth day since Zhou Dun passed away, so it is too hasty.
Zhou's mother explained: "There is a matchmaker in Buffalo Village who specializes in matching dead people. Half a month ago, the daughter of Zhang's family in Buffalo Village died. She was only seventeen years old. Her parents have been looking for someone to marry their daughter.
The person to marry in secret, no, the day after Zhou Duncai died, the matchmaker brought the Zhang family to the door, saying that their horoscopes were very suitable.
I was telling you about this yesterday, Aunt Hu. The Zhang family leased land and made a lot of money in the past few years. They were the first people in Buffalo Village to become rich.
At first, Zhou Dun's family was not happy when they heard that the other party was going to have a secret marriage, but later the secret matchmaker won people's hearts with his clever words, and the Zhang family also gave a lot of benefits. Dunzi's family prepared the money for the 'bride price'
They were all given privately by the woman's family.
The night before you came, the 'dowry' from Zhou Dun's family was carried to the woman's family, and that night, the 'dowry' from the woman's family was also delivered to Zhou Dun's family."
At this point, Zhou's mother lowered her voice, "Everyone thought it was unlucky and didn't go out to join in the fun. I didn't go out either, but I stood by the window and watched for a long time.
Some of the "betrothal gifts" sent by Dunzi's family were real, such as the dragon and phoenix wedding cakes, wedding fruits, and elbows, but the rest of the clothes and jewelry were all made of paper, as well as the "dowry" sent by the Zhang family.
, all made of paper!
Do you think it’s scary or not?”
Mother Zhou couldn't stop herself when she started talking about it, "I didn't go with him, but I heard from others that after the Zhang family's dowry was delivered to Zhou Dun's house, it was left in front of Zhou Dun's portrait all night, and it wasn't there the next day.
When it was bright, people from Zhou Dun's family took it outside and burned it."
"Aunt Zheng, is this your first time seeing this shady marriage?" Su Keke asked curiously.
"Yes, our village didn't have this custom in the past. It was the Buffalo Village in the south that started practicing this shady marriage in an unknown year. I've heard a lot about it in the past few years, but this is the first time I've seen it."
After confirming that this shady marriage was between a dead person and a dead person, Su Keke didn't plan to follow it.
Let them resolve the matter between ghosts themselves.
After the "welcome" team was too far away to see anyone, and the sound of suona, drums and other music could not be heard clearly, Su Keke took her uncle back to the house and continued to sleep.
Yin Shaoli didn't know what he was thinking, and kept his brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything and followed Zhou's mother in.
Su Keke soon fell asleep again. About an hour or two later, she vaguely heard the sound of drum music again. It must be that the paper sedan chair of Zhou Dun's family came back to take the "bride's" tablet...
Early the next morning, Zhou's mother disappeared.
Because Zhou's mother and Yin Shaoli were both staying at the neighbor's mother-in-law Zhou's house, Su Keke felt that Yin Shaoli should know where Zhou's mother was.
However, after Su Keke asked, he discovered that Yin Shaoli didn't know anything about it.
"I slept too deeply last night and didn't pay attention." xdw8
Qin Mochen thought for a while and then said: "People of Aunt Zheng's age like to have trouble with others. I think she went to the top of the mountain with her neighbor Aunt Hu to find someone for information."
It has to be said that Fourth Master Qin’s insight and analysis are very impressive.
Sure enough, Zhou's mother went to other villagers' houses with Aunt Hu next door. When they came back, they were still mumbling something.
That expression was obviously the expression of someone who had just heard some big gossip.
Mother Zhou was talking enthusiastically, but she was shaking her head again and again.
Su Keke was originally ready to say goodbye to Zhou's mother, but after hearing what Zhou's mother said, she hesitated.
"...Oh, what a sin, for having a secret relationship, and yet being disliked, and then breaking off the engagement."
According to the news obtained by Zhou's mother, in the early hours of this morning, the mother of the Zhang family suddenly called and said that she wanted to break off the engagement. The reason was that her daughter, who died young, entered her dream that night and cried to her, saying that she did not like this Zhou Dun.
