Strong wife likes farming

Chapter 405 Engagement 3
The tenth day of October is the day when Wang Han and Huaihua got engaged.

Although it's just an engagement, it's also very particular. Yun Shu thought that it would be enough for both parents to meet and nod, but she didn't expect that it would take a whole day just to get engaged, and that's not counting the time spent on shopping and preparations. .

In the morning, Aunt Wang and Uncle Wang prepared all the food items needed for the day, and Wang Han drove the carriage to pick up the matchmaker who had booked in advance.

Although the two of them are in free love, people at this time pay attention to three matchmakers and six employments. It is impossible to do without a matchmaker, and the matchmaker must hire someone with high morals and high prestige.

After much deliberation, Wang Han still invited the old village head to be the matchmaker.

In fact, strictly speaking, Yun Shu was the matchmaker for the two of them.It's just that she is young and her seniority is young, and since ancient times there has been no saying that a girl will be a matchmaker for her brother, so in the end she automatically retreated to the side.

In fact, it's good not to be a matchmaker, just to send Sophora japonica to get married, but it will not be so easy if you become a matchmaker.

Because they belonged to one village, the people in the village were automatically divided into two groups, some of them helped Wang Han's house, and some of them helped Huai Hua's house.

After the matchmaker is invited to the home, he will eat and drink first, and then bring the dowry and several respected elders in the family to the woman's home to propose marriage and make a decision, and then have a meal at the woman's home.

After the meal, the two parties set a date for getting married, and finally take the bride to the man's house to have another meal. This is called eating fugen'er, but in fact it is just reheating the noon meal and eating it up.

Yun Shu always thought that two people could not meet before getting married, but she didn't expect that each place has its own customs. It seems that not all marriages in ancient times were blind marriages.

Dowry gifts and other things were prepared by Wang Han with the money from opening the crayfish shop, chicken, duck, fish, silk and satin, these are all necessary.If the conditions are better, or if the bride is valued, some jewelry and the like will be prepared.

The things Wang Han prepared were naturally the best. He wished he could quickly marry Sophora japonica back home. Naturally, everything he prepared was the best and the most.

Aunt Li and his wife only have such a daughter. If they hadn't had to marry when they were old, they really wanted to keep the daughter for a few more years!

At the beginning, Aunt Li still wanted to recruit a son-in-law, but Wang Han was also from the same village, and the two families were not far away. very.

The day when the two get married is set on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. People like to marry a new wife before the year. Moreover, the weather is cold at this time, and all kinds of meat and vegetables in the house are not easy to spoil. There are still more marriages in the next year. .

The engagement has been tossing all day, and at night a few little sisters sat on Sophora's bed and chatted.

Huaihua felt that she was in a daze all day, and didn't know what to do. Anyway, she felt that her mouth had never stopped, she kept eating and eating, and her stomach was swollen.

The sisters of Yun Shumo's family laughed and couldn't help but tease a few words.

Not to be outdone, Sophora Hua looked at Yun Shu: "Just wait, it will definitely be more troublesome when you get married! The Feng family is a big family in the capital, and they must have more rules than us. I think you will be hungry then." Hold on or hold on!"

"Of course I'm holding on, brother-in-law is not willing to let sister Shu go hungry!" Mo Hanqing giggled, if she hadn't dodged quickly, Yun Shu would have pinched her arm.

"I guess Yun Shu will be the next engagement." Mo Hanrui said with a smile, but everyone could see that the smile on her face was a little tired.

At the beginning, Mo Hanrui and Yang Jiajun were also engaged, but the habit in their village was that the two of them could not meet each other, so the engagement day was not as lively as it is today, and even the parents of both parties had never met.

Seeing the lively scene of today's engagement, Mo Hanrui has some doubts that maybe their marriage has hidden dangers from the very beginning, and the two are destined not to be together!
"Sister Rui, you might be the next one! Fate is something that you can talk about, maybe you can meet your own happiness when Huaihua gets married!"

"That's right, Sister Rui, maybe you got married earlier than Yun Shu!" Sophora Hua also quickly comforted Mo Hanrui.

Mo Hanqing hooked her sister's arm, and said crisply: "Sister, don't worry, I still can't bear to let you get married so early, you can stay with me for two more years!"

Mo Hanrui chuckled, and said repeatedly: "Okay, I will stay with you for another two years, and I will marry my sister after you get married!"

"That's impossible! Sister, I'll get married after you get married!" The two sisters looked at each other and smiled, their cheeks flushed.

Yun Shu rolled her eyes and said excitedly: "By the way, when Sophora gets married, shall we make her a bouquet?"

Bouquet?What it is?
Yun Shu jumped off the bed excitedly, grabbed something and tied it casually, and then jumped back on the bed to show a few people: "That's it, make a bunch of flowers and trim them into a ball. Tied with a ribbon, this is what the bride will hold in her hand when she is married."

"Holding flowers when getting married? Is it the same as holding apples? There is also a special meaning?" After all, Mo Hanrui was a person who was about to get married, so she knew a little about the process of getting married.

Yun Shu hurriedly said: "Yes, just like holding apples, they all symbolize auspiciousness and peace. Oh, by the way, different flowers also represent different meanings. For example, roses represent love, and lilies represent a hundred years of happiness. , and others, anyway, there are so many!"

"What does Sophora japonica represent?" Sophora japonica is most interested in her own name.

It seems that there is no pagoda flower in the bouquet when they get married, but Yun Shu said with a smile: "Of course the pagoda flower represents the favorite Wang Han! Haha."

puff!
The girls couldn't help laughing.

But if you really use a bouquet when you get married, you can use Sophora japonica, and intersperse some other flowers in the middle for decoration, that's all.White and fragrant Sophora japonica, with many small flowers on it, also symbolizes many children and grandchildren!
"However, when I got married, it was at the end of the new year. At that time, it was so cold that there were no flowers. Where can we find flowers? Sophora japonica is only available in spring, or should I wait until spring to get married? I will go now Tell your mother!"

Huaihua remembered that every time she came out, she really wanted to go down to the ground to talk to Aunt Li about it!

Yun Shu hurriedly pulled her back: "Come back soon! This wedding day is a date set by the elders of both parties and the old village head, how can you change it by yourself! If you want to change it, say it in advance , it’s too late now! Besides, what will your elder brother think if you delay the day? He must be anxious to come over and ask you if you don’t want to marry him. Maybe, I’ll take you back tonight The bridal chamber is full of raw rice and cooked rice!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Sophora Hua's cheeks were so red that she was about to scramble eggs, she took a look at Yun Shu, and she didn't mention the day anymore.

But the bouquet is really a problem.

Seeing that several people were frowning, Yun Shu smiled and said, "Oh, you don't have to worry, isn't it just a bouquet? Does it have to be real? Can't we just use fake ones?"

"Fake? Flowers can be fake too?" Mo Hanrui thought for a while, her eyes lit up: "You mean we do it ourselves? What do you use? Cloth?"

Yun Shu snapped her fingers: "Yes, it is made of cloth, and the bouquet made of cloth is more colorful and can be stored for a longer period of time. At that time, we will sprinkle the powder on it, isn't it just a bouquet with fragrance Is it? More importantly, the bouquets I made are stronger, so I don’t have to worry about breaking them when I throw them!”

Throw a bouquet?
Several people said in unison: "Why throw the bouquet? Doesn't this bouquet symbolize auspiciousness? Isn't it auspicious to throw it away?"

Yun Shu shook her head and said with a smile: "Actually, the biggest function of this bouquet is not to symbolize auspiciousness, but to convey marriage and good luck. When the bride finishes the ceremony, she will throw this bouquet to her good sister, Whoever can grab the bouquet will be the next one to get married. Do you think it is better and more meaningful to convey auspiciousness like this?"

The girls looked at each other with excitement on their faces, throwing bouquets and snatching bouquets, it was a very interesting thing to hear!

"Okay, let's make a bouquet! We'll start making it tomorrow!"

"I must grab the bouquet and give it to my sister!"

"Okay, okay, I won't fight with you, let's give the bouquet to Sister Rui! Haha."

　There is one more update, come back at night, okay~
