Chapter 336: The Secret Marriage (Part II)
That game is the secret marriage frozen in the photo. οΌοΌοΌ
Secret marriage is a bad practice among the people. Usually after the engagement of both men and women die, or the children who have died before the engagement, the parents are in a mood of love and longing, and want to complete the marriage for them, which is a secret marriage. In addition, in the past, it was believed that having a solitary grave in the ancestral tomb would affect the prosperity of future generations, and it was unlucky, so it was necessary to hold a ghost marriage for the deceased.
This bad habit appeared long before the Han Dynasty, continued until the early Republic of China, and is often heard of even today. In the Song Dynasty, the practice of underworld marriage was the most prevalent, and almost all the families of the unmarried deceased had to carry out underworld marriages for them.
The ritual of the secret marriage is mixed with the etiquette of red and white, and the form varies greatly according to the opinions of the parties. Generally speaking, the underworld marriage should be introduced through the matchmaker, and the two parties will pass through the portal post, and the dragon and phoenix post will be obtained after the marriage. The man's release is also carried out, half of which is real silk and silver, and half of which is papier-mΓ’chΓ© clothing, and finally burned at the door of the woman's house or grave.
This is the custom of secret marriage between humans and humans. But what if he marries God?
The people of Yangma Village have worked hard to arrange a marriage game for me, and the bride is the god of golden dolls.
On the night of the dream wedding, it was pouring rain, and the black canopy was like a crying dirty ugly face. My mother sobbed and changed my groom's clothes. Dad smoked silently and patted me on the shoulder, "It's okay, come and see how handsome my little night is!" It's just a game, and there's no missing piece of meat. It's over soon! β
I don't know why I was chosen as the husband of the god of the golden doll, and some villagers say that it is the will of God, but I still don't understand how that god's will was conveyed to the people of Yangma Village. In short, he was only five years old at the time and had no clear understanding of marriage, although he said that he wanted to marry Li Xiaoyou, but how many wives a person can have by law, this deep concept is completely unclear.
After doing it for a long time, it turned out that he had violated the current marriage law thirteen years ago and married a big house and two rooms, a total of two wives. What's even more depressing is that one of his wives still doesn't know whether it's a ghost or a god.
The greeting team came early. They were dressed in black, with a white cloth bag tied around their waists, blowing a terrible suona, and they kept making noise in front of my house. Mom held my little hand tightly, as if I would leave her forever if I let go.
Dad comforted her again, and then shoved me out. Depressed, generally speaking, the wedding should be carried by the woman to the man's house in a sedan chair. Am I getting rich?
As a child, I was dressed in a black groom's costume and a black hat, and sat in a white sedan chair, carrying me all the way to the threshing floor. In the dream, this sedan chair is also very strange. The wedding was originally a red satin sedan chair with eight lifts. But this one is indeed white, and the white is dazzling. It is preliminarily estimated that it was used to carry the holy maiden during the sacrifice!
Although it was late at night, a large shed had been erected around the corpse pavilion, and a raging fire was burning underneath. Almost all the adults from the horse village came. Seeing the white sedan chair approaching, the bride also greeted her.
I glanced through the window to the bride's place. It turned out to be a five-year-old girl dressed in snow-white clothes. She was a very delicate girl, but her face was expressionless, and she was dragged forward by the elders in a sluggish manner. She was holding a small plaque in her hand, and it was hard for me to see it clearly. Bian Ran wrote the bride's golden doll.
The flood of the Yangma River has been flooded to a distance of only more than ten meters from the corpse pavilion, which also means that most of the Yangma village has sunk to the bottom.
I slowly got out of the sedan chair, and the wedding began to proceed step by step. The elders led me and the girl with the bride's tablet into the corpse chamber. At that time, I had never entered this place where the dead were placed, and looking through the young eyes of a five-year-old into the corpse pavilion, I couldn't help but feel terrified in my dreams.
The corpse pavilion, which was already very gloomy, was densely packed with the tablets of the ancestors. And there are several large tablets directly opposite the door, I am afraid I don't know that they are the ancestors thousands of years ago.
I and the golden doll god worship heaven and earth, worship ancestors, and then worship husband and wife. Finally, he entered the cave room.
The so-called cave room is a whitewashed room, and the white madhouse is even better. The girl in white sat on the edge of the bed in a daze, holding my little wife in the second room with both hands, the tablet of the golden doll. We were so stupid that we didn't look at each other and sat all night.
The next day, just after dawn, I heard the excited cheers and the noisy and piercing sound of firecrackers from outside the house, and the flood finally receded!
"So, you were married thirteen years ago, and you married two wives?"
When the lost memory was slowly recounted, Zhao Yunhan was drinking water. But as soon as I heard that I had married the golden doll god, I immediately squirted out all the very unladylike liquids that I drank into my mouth. Fortunately, my motor nerves are not bad, so I dodged!
"Still, you're fine, you almost scared me to death just now." She laughed unsightly for a long time, and finally reined in, covered her slender waist and said hard.
I glared at her fiercely and said angrily, "Keep laughing, I know it's going to end badly if you tell you!" β
"Absolutely no more laughing. I'm sorry, because who would have thought of such a thing! She clapped her hands cutely, thinking that she could hide her extremely unpleasant facial expression, "And then?" Why do you have amnesia? β
"I don't remember the reason for this." I said in despair, "I guess something happened after the flood waters receded." After I go back, I must torture my father carefully, that old guy actually married me casually! β
"Married? Hehe, it's a brilliant word. I didn't expect the golden doll to be female in the eyes of the aborigines. This is not mentioned in any of the relevant books! Zhao Yunhan took out her notebook and wrote and crossed it on the side, looked up and asked, "Then, what do you think of your little wife?" β
"Views? Hell view! I exclaimed, "I'm curious to know how the aborigines chose the husband of the saint and the golden doll." Throughout the world's many sacrifices, when they want to use humans as sacrifices, they have a very complex selection process. But the legend of the golden doll on the banks of the Yangma River has never been mentioned. Few people even know that there have been sacrificial saintesses here for thousands of years. β
Zhao Yunhan pondered for a moment, "It's really incomprehensible. However, I always feel that the flood will end because you got married. β
