Rebirth Starts From 2006

Rebirth from 06 Chapter 819: Watch the fun

Chen Yang's guess was correct. The snow didn't last long. When he came, it was windy and snowy. When he returned, it was already clear after the snow.

Unfortunately, this is not the north where the temperature is below zero. As long as the snow stops, it will melt soon. On the way back, the entire road is muddy and mud is splashing everywhere.

Fortunately, Cheng Chonglin was driving. Chen Yang closed his eyes, opened them again, and arrived at his garage.

After sending the boss home, the security team dispersed and waited for the next departure.

Chen Yang returned home slightly tipsy. As soon as he opened the door, he was startled.

My aunt, uncle, Wang Hong, and two pregnant sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law belong to my aunt's family.

Third Aunt, Third Uncle, Xiao Liang, Xiao Yan, these are from Third Aunt’s family,

Auntie, uncle, Gong Min, Gong Kai, this is my aunt's family,

Grandma is also there, plus the eldest aunt and little aunt who came here in the morning.

More than twenty people actually packed the huge living room to the brim.

Father Chen was sitting at the dining table, bowing his head and not knowing what he was writing. All the male elders and Xiao Liang were gathered around, giving him advice one by one.

On the other side, Mother Chen, her grandmother, aunt, aunt and several other women were discussing something.

Even Su Xiaoya and the others were discussing with great interest.

When everyone saw Chen Yang coming in, they greeted him a few times unevenly, and then continued busy with their own affairs, leaving him confused for a moment.

At this time, my father suddenly thought of what he had just explained and shouted, "Have you come to Zhou County?"

Chen Yang nodded quickly, "Here we go, he will come over in the evening and prepare with us in advance."

After a pause, he added, "Director Zhou from the Cultural Bureau will also come over to help with the consultation."

Upon hearing this, Father Chen immediately nodded with satisfaction and continued to do his own thing.

But the eldest uncle raised his head and shouted, "Is this Director Zhou Chuanjiang of the Cultural Affairs Bureau in charge of intangible cultural heritage?"

His shout immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Chen Yang helped his grandma, who was running over with a smile, to sit on the sofa. He turned around and said, "I don't know. It was arranged by Zhou County. He said that Director Zhou is very proficient in traditional folk customs and you can ask him to check it."

"That's him,"

The eldest aunt immediately smiled at Father Chen and said, "Second brother, we don't have to mess around here. When Director Zhou comes over, we can make clear arrangements for you in less than ten minutes!"

Father Chen was stunned when he heard this. He looked at him and then at the white paper on which he had written several pages. He could not help but frown slightly and hesitated for two seconds before saying angrily, "Then, I will write it down first and then look back." When Director Zhou arrives, ask him to take a look."

If he didn't personally participate in his son's marriage, he would always feel like something was missing.

On the other side, Chen Ma sat down next to Chen Yang.

Putting a piece of paper on the coffee table in front of him, he said, "Look, these are the things you need to prepare for the marriage proposal tomorrow. If you want to buy something, buy it quickly. You can't lose etiquette."

The eldest aunt also rushed over and said, "Yangyang, everything else is easy to talk about. We have it at home, but these six pieces of gold and one diamond need to be bought at a gold shop. My aunt has a friend who owns a gold shop. Go to him to buy it. Not only It’s cheap and it’s guaranteed to be reliable.”

"oh,"

Chen Yang raised his head and said with a smile, "I have already asked someone to buy the gold jewelry. I think it will be delivered in the evening."

The eldest aunt was stunned when she heard this, and then asked curiously, "What did you buy? This is a marriage proposal. If you can, prepare as much as you can."

Before Chen Yang could say anything, her little aunt patted her arm and said angrily, "You need to remind me. You don't know how generous your nephew is. The things he asks people to prepare must be better than six." A diamond is as strong as gold.”

The eldest aunt smiled coquettishly, "That's true, that's true."

Chen Yang smiled and said it was okay, then turned to look at the list written by his mother.

Noodles, wine, lucky yuan, four-color candies, livestock gifts, two rice cups, bride price? ? ?

Everything else is understandable, but what is Fuyuan?

Fortunately, grandma was explaining at this time,

"The eight rites for proposing a marriage are all very particular. You can only have more, but not less. What you want is completeness, happiness, and happiness.

Just like this noodle thread, it symbolizes the thread of a happy marriage between the couple.

It is best to prepare twenty-four bottles of wine, which means that everything will be safe and sound during the twenty-four solar terms. If you cannot get twenty-four bottles, at least four bottles will be needed to ensure peace in all seasons.

Fuyuan refers to dried longan and longan, which means prosperity for descendants and inheritance from generation to generation.

The four colors of sugar are rock sugar, brown sugar, orange cake, and persimmon cake, which mean sweetness and growing old together.

Livestock gifts include chickens, ducks and fish, but they cannot be taken indiscriminately. You must be particular about what you catch. If possible, a pair of wild geese, a pair of hams, and a pair of live carps are required. If not, two chickens are required. Two fish with knife and meat,

To fight two meters, you need to prepare twelve kilograms of glutinous rice and three kilograms and two taels of brown sugar. These are the ingredients for making glutinous rice balls for the woman, which means reunion and happiness.

The last thing is the bride price. This bride price is a figure agreed upon by the two parties."

At this point, grandma took Chen Yang's hand and asked with a smile, "You haven't discussed the bride price with the woman's family yet, have you?"

Chen Yang shook his head with dizziness, "No, no, I just decided to propose marriage this morning."

"What a nonsense,"

Grandma raised her hand and patted the back of Chen Yang's head as gently as a fallen leaf, "You're in your twenties and you don't have any skills at all. How can you make such a decision casually?

This means asking a matchmaker to come to negotiate terms first..."

Before she finished speaking, the aunt shouted from the side, "Mom, what era is this? It's the 21st century. If we still go by the way we were fifty years ago, we won't be able to get married."

As a result, grandma's eyes widened and she said, "It's nonsense. Who would want these ghost things fifty years ago? If you just grab a handful of wedding candies and get a certificate, you can get married. Who would dare to engage in these extravagant and wasteful things?"

Then he turned around, pulled Chen Yang and said with a smile, "Yangyang, although you are young people, you still have to follow the old rules. Don't be surprised if there are many people with courtesy..."

On the mahjong table in the corner, a group of little ones were laughing non-stop.

Su Xiaoya bumped Gong Min with her elbow, "Hey, has grandma always had such double standards?"

Gong Min spread her hands helplessly, curled her lips and said, "She is the famous double standard in Wangjiacun!"

Xiao Yan and Gong Kai nodded in agreement.

Chen Yang was already half drunk, but when they pulled him away, he suddenly felt dizzy.

But since he was proposing marriage, and the elders were explaining the etiquette, could he still run away?

Apart from silently regretting that I should have come back later with Zhou County and the others, I could only listen patiently.

It's whatever they say.

…

After finally staying up for two hours, Zhou County finally came with someone.

A round-faced old man in his fifties wearing a Chinese tunic suit was what he called Lao Zhou from the Cultural Affairs Bureau.

When we got home, Boss Chen had to step aside. Father Chen was the one who took care of everything.

After a while of pleasantries, Father Chen invited Director Zhou to inspect the work.

Director Zhou looked at the specific items and material lists written by the two groups, raised his face and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, there are capable people in your house. These are basically the same, so my trip was in vain."

"Where, where,"

Father Chen was polite and polite. It would be better if the corners of his mouth could be restrained a little and not pulled behind the ears.

Then he pointed at grandma and said, "This is the old lady in our family. Thanks to the old lady's guidance, I can understand these things."

Director Zhou immediately cupped his hands in front of grandma and said with a smile, "It's like having an elder in a family with a treasure."

With the room full of laughter, Father Chen said again, "After all, we are following country customs. There must be some things that are not thoughtful. Please give me some advice, Director Zhou."

Zhou Xian also smiled and said, "Old Zhou, this is what I invited you to do. Why are you so polite?"

My eldest aunt and others also sincerely invited me.

Director Zhou chuckled twice and said, "That's okay, that's okay. Since you guys are so flattering, I'll show my shame."

As he spoke, he held down the two stacks of paper written by Chen's father and Chen's mother, looked at everyone and said, "There are three matchmakers and six betrothals for this marriage proposal.

The three matchmakers refer to the matchmakers for the man and the woman, as well as the matchmaking middleman.

Maybe you have all heard of the six recruitments, namely Nacai, Asking for Name, Naji, Nazheng, Qingqi, and Personal Ying.

According to ancient rituals, a marriage can only be considered official after going through three matchmakers and six betrothals."

He himself laughed as he said, "Of course, now it is absolutely impossible to say that the three matchmakers and six hires are completely followed. After all, the new era and new fashions all emphasize free love. There is no such thing as the 'parents' order and matchmaker Of course, the so-called "three media and six hires" are gone.

However, we can retain some good things in the "three matchmaking and six employment", such as the etiquette respect for both men and women, as well as the processes of proposal, engagement, and marriage, which can also be regarded as part of our traditional culture.

Having said that,"

Director Zhou looked at Zhou Xian, then at Chen Yang, and said with a smile, "This time Director Chen proposes marriage, it must be a grand event. However, I think Director Chen is busy with official duties, so the specific process should be simple, not Knowing that I understand it this way, is there any problem?"

Chen Yang immediately nodded repeatedly with a serious face, "No problem, no problem."

He originally planned to take his things and run to Zou Rong's house tomorrow morning, and then the two families would have a meal. Even if the marriage proposal was successful, and then he would take his wife home, no one would gossip.

Now when I look at it, well, don’t mention anything else, just the darkness of this room, I know how troublesome things will be tomorrow!

It's completely inconsistent with his lazy temperament.

So Director Zhou said it was best to keep things simple, which was exactly what he wanted.

After receiving confirmation from Chen Yang, Director Zhou nodded slightly and then said, "In this case, we have to start from two aspects, one is the matchmaker and the other is the betrothal gift."

Having said this, he opened his right hand and pointed at Zhouxian, and said with a smile, "It must be grand for Zhouxian to be the matchmaker, so I will just talk about the betrothal gift."

Then he looked at two more stacks of paper, raised his head and said, "The list you are drawing up now is called the 'Ancient Eight Rites' in the old saying, but in addition to the 'Ancient Eight Rites', there are also the 'New Eight Rites' and the 'Shanghai Eight Rites'. Eight Rites'."

Hearing this, Father Chen immediately frowned and asked, "What's the difference here?"

"The difference is huge,"

Director Zhou smiled and said, "Let's talk about the 'Eight Ancient Rites' first. They focus on perfect metaphors, but in terms of value, they are actually not high."

Hearing this, everyone who had been immersed in "etiquette" just now reacted immediately,

Yes, these eight wedding ceremonies look very formal and grand, but if you think about it, they are just some drinks and candies. How much are they worth?

Although the Zou family is not that kind of snob, as a man, he has to take this into consideration. If he prepares such a small gift, wouldn't it be a joke for the whole county to see the Zou family.

Father Chen thought of this and immediately asked, "What are the 'New Eight Rites' and the 'Shang Eight Rites'?"

Director Zhou said, "The 'New Eight Rites' are compared to the 'Ancient Eight Rites'. In fact, they replace those traditional things with products that are convenient to buy today. In addition to being more convenient, they are also easier to operate in terms of value.

The specific content is mainly tobacco, wine, supplements, tea, fruits and the like. There is no specific scope, as long as you can gather eight items. "

Without waiting for Father Chen to ask more questions, he continued, "Besides, 'Shang Ba Li', as the name suggests, means higher value.

There is even less particularity in this aspect. Gold, silver, diamonds, jewelry, high-end clothing, and even houses and cars, as long as they are of high value, if you put them together into eight items, it will be the ‘eight gifts’. "

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nodded in unison,

To put it bluntly, it’s just a waste of money.

The Chen family has nothing but a lot of money.

Everyone immediately reached a consensus, burn it, burn it to the death!

Father Chen made the decision on behalf of the Chen family and immediately slapped his thigh, "Then use the 'Shang Ba Rites'!"

"Brother Chen, please wait a minute and listen to what I have to say."

Director Zhou smiled and waved his hand, and was about to speak when the doorbell rang. Everyone couldn't help but look at the door affectionately.

Chen Yang looked out the window strangely and read a book; at this time, neither Shen Youshun nor the delivery man should have arrived.

Who is that outside?

Su Xiaoya was closest to the door, and immediately ran to the door, turned on the surveillance camera, and several figures appeared on the screen.

Then there was a scream, "Ah, it's Jackson, Jackson is here."

Then press the switch key to release.

The people in the room were very calm. They all knew that Jackson stayed in Xijiang for two months, especially grandma and Wang Hong. They lived with him every day. After staying for a long time, they discovered that big stars are just like that. Such a thing,

After a long time, I became calm.

Chen Yang was a little surprised. After attending the annual meeting, Jackson did not return to the United States. Did he come to Xijiang again?

When guests arrived, Director Zhou stopped talking.

Within two minutes, Jackson walked in from the door. When he saw Chen Yang, he opened his arms and laughed, "Chen, I heard that you are getting married. Congratulations."

After listening to what the translator said later, Chen Yang let go of him, said thank you first, and then asked curiously, "What's the matter with you coming here now?"

Jackson nodded immediately, "Yes, I'm here to watch the fun!"
