At the wedding banquet, the bride and groom must also toast the old people on both sides, which means that the children return the grace of nurturing, means the birth of a new family, and also means that the incense of the family has been lit, which is the content of a good life for the elderly, so there is a saying that "marrying a daughter-in-law and marrying a daughter-in-law is often in the drunkenness of the father".

After the bride and groom toasted the old people on both sides at the wedding banquet, they had to go to their relatives and friends to toast, and now Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing began to toast.

It's okay to toast at your own relatives, everyone is a relative, and they won't be too embarrassed by Zhao Chaogang, just drink a little bit of wine, but on the banquet of those officials, as well as the banquet of Zhao Chaogang and their friends, Zhao Chaogang has suffered a 'great disaster'.

These people toasted an absolute big cup, and the wine for Zhao Chaogang was not brought by Zhao Chaogang himself (when toasting at the banquet, the groom generally brought his own wine, and many of them were boiled water, just to avoid getting drunk), all of them were the wine on their banquet, and after a circle, Zhao Chaogang had seven or eight catties of wine in his stomach.

If it weren't for Zhao Chaogang being a cultivator now, his body would naturally digest alcohol, and Zhao Chaogang would be 100% down now.

In fact, Zhao Chaogang could have used some wine mixed with boiled water to fool him, but at his wedding banquet, Zhao Chaogang really didn't want to cheat, and when he started to get married, he began to cheat, so in the future, will his life be full of illusions, so. Zhao Chaogang didn't use mana to expel the alcohol power in his body, he was a man, and if he was a man, he had to be responsible. A few pounds of wine is nothing.

Fortunately, the officials at the table, as well as the friends of Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing, still knew how to advance and retreat, and they did not desperately pour Zhao Chaogang wine, therefore. Zhao Chaogang can be regarded as having escaped, otherwise, these dozens of tables will come down. If everyone toasts Zhao Chaogang with a few glasses of wine, Zhao Chaogang's body will automatically relieve hangover, and in the end, he will only end up drunk and fall to the ground.

Everyone was very satisfied with today's wedding banquet, especially the dishes on the wedding banquet. It is even more satisfying for these people who come to the wedding banquet.

The dishes at the wedding banquet are extremely rich. The taste is also extremely good, especially the dishes made of wild beast meat, which makes these people who come to the wedding banquet have a feeling of aftertaste of three lives.

The taste of the four-horned deer and the colorful snail is really delicious, and the food is unforgettable!

Of course, for Zhao Chaogang and the heritage of the Liu family, many people have a new understanding in their hearts.

After all, Zhao Gang is a master of the innate stage. and Zhao Cheng, the person in charge of the jade district, was so close when he talked to Zhao Chaogang. Or speak directly to Zhao Chaogang as an equal, it can be seen that Zhao Chaogang's identity is definitely not as simple as it seems, and Zhao Chaogang definitely has a more powerful identity, so many people have begun to pay attention to Zhao Chaogang.

The wedding banquet lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon, before the end of the wedding banquet, Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing returned to the new house under the congratulations of everyone, ready to welcome the haunted room of relatives and friends.

In China, when men and women get married, the haunted room is an indispensable procedure, the haunted house is not only happy for the family, but also the relatives and friends of the haunted room are happy to take the opportunity to make a noise, using all kinds of new tricks, so that the bride and groom "sit in the city of sorrow" and cry and laugh, so as to add some more festive atmosphere to the wedding.

The bride and groom and even the parents of the groom are often teased and teased by others and even the younger generations, and the person who is teased and teased cannot be angry, so as not to spoil the festive atmosphere of the newlywed.

Of course, the people who make trouble in the cave room should not be too out of line, and they should not make trouble for too long, so as not to affect the rest of the newlyweds. In particular, do not provoke unpleasant things by being rude.

There are often reports of excessive physical and mental harm to the bride and groom due to the haunted room, and even the injury and paralysis of the bride, so that the haunted house exceeds the limit and should be taken as a warning.

The haunting room is also known as "teasing the daughter-in-law" and "arguing the room", which is carried out on the night of the wedding.

The practice is to send the lamp by the sister-in-law first and hug the students early. Send off the lights, regardless of the elders, peers, juniors, gather in the new house, congratulate the newcomers, the drama is abnormal, there are many taboos, there are "three days without size", "joy and joy, the more noisy the more happy" said.

In the past, when the guests were in the room, they dressed up with a flower face, or put their hands on their feet, and after laughing, they were much more funny, and they were content with a laugh, which was of little significance. No matter how noisy it is, the owner must not be angry, and the more noisy it is, the more joyful it is.

After 1950, the cave house was mostly asked to the bride to ask various questions and let her answer, which was civilized and polite, and full of fun. There are also teasing the bride, and the bridesmaids often accept half on behalf of the bride, and in order to resist the teasing, they often throw candy to make trouble in the house.

After the end of the cave house, the bride should be asked to roll noodles and make zuò descendant soup, thinking that it can grow old with a white head and be full of children and grandchildren. The bride then feeds the animals, symbolizing taking over the household chores and working together to achieve prosperity. The beds are made by the elders, mostly male elders, and they say while making them: "The husband lays the kang, and the children have two lines." Finally, my sister-in-law sent the urinal.

The candle night in the cave room, the lamp is lit in the long night, the bride opens the cabinet, the bride opens the cabinet, the groom tries on shoes, the husband and wife talk, and the ears of eavesdropping outside the window are close to the wall.

Of course, there are not many of these customs of the cave house left, and with the progress of the times, the way of the hole house is constantly improving.

The custom of haunting the cave house began in the pre-Qin and Han dynasties, and the wedding was simple and solemn. Confucius described the scene of marriage at that time in the Book of Rites: Zeng Ziwen: "The house of a married woman does not extinguish candles for three days, and thoughts of each other are separated; It reflects the simple habits of the pre-Qin wedding, and there is no noisy and noisy scene.

After entering the Han Dynasty, the social economy has made great progress, and people are no longer satisfied with the old-fashioned and dull old-style weddings, and no longer stick to the ancient precept of "three days without fun", and begin to do a big job, so that the wedding is covered with secular festive colors.

Regarding the origin of the custom of haunted cave houses, there are two folk theories in China.

One theory originates from the exorcism of evil spirits and the avoidance of disasters: it is passed down. A long time ago, Zi Weixing went down to earth one day, and met a woman wearing linen and filial piety on the road, following behind a group of welcoming relatives. He saw that the devil was waiting for an evil spirit, so he followed him to the bridegroom's house, where the woman had already arrived and hid in the cave.

When the groom and bride were about to enter the cave after worshipping heaven and earth, Zi Weixing guarded the door and did not let them in, saying that there was a devil hidden inside. When everyone asked him for guidance on how to get rid of demons, he said, "The devil is most afraid of people." When there are many people, the devil will not dare to do evil. ”

So, the bridegroom invited the guests to play and laugh in the cave room. He used laughter to drive away evil spirits, and sure enough, at the fifth watch, the devil finally fled.

It can be seen that the haunted cave house was covered with the color of exorcism and disaster avoidance from the beginning.

Another view of the origin of the haunted house is that it is. Noisy houses first appeared in the north. And at the beginning, it was mainly the groom, which is probably related to the living habits of the northern peoples. Their means of living by hunting and nomadism made men very fierce and brave, and the beating of the club when they were newly married proved that a man was a good husband.

Some backward nations in the world use self-mutilation and abuse to show their qualifications as men, and even use hunted human heads as tokens for courtship, which may be the same thing. The cave house retains this original custom in ancient times.

The custom of exorcising evil spirits in the cave house is found in all parts of the north and south. Before the bride and groom enter the cave room, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the groom must sleep in the cave room the night before. Ask two girls to hold red candles in their hands to illuminate the new house in advance;

Tianjin people ask the blowing team to blow in the new house to seek good luck. After the newlyweds enter the room. It is still very important to drive away evil in the house.

For example, in Dongsheng, after the bridegroom enters the house, he should symbolically shoot an arrow at each of the four corners of the new house, or hold a single knife in his hand to each corner, and sing: "One cut the demon, two cut the monster, three cut the devil's bad head, four cut the mourning god and leave quickly, and laugh at the unicorn to send the child." ”

A more common custom is to build permanent lamps in new houses, which is what the so-called "candle night in the cave room" means. Some scholars have studied that the custom of "listening to the room" is essentially a protective measure to prevent ghosts from entering the cave house.

There is also a beautiful legend about the haunted house and the honeymoon:

The history of Chinese civilization has been more than 5,000 years ago, and people still call marriage "entering the cave room", although human beings have transitioned from cave living to today's high-rise buildings, but the term "entering the cave room" has not changed to this day. I've never seen anyone change "into the cave room" to "into the building".

Legend has it that this was prescribed by our ancestor Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou, quelled the war, established a tribal alliance, stopped group marriages, and ended the barbaric era, from which the era of human civilization began.

In the age of group marriage, how difficult it is to change to monogamy all at once! I am afraid that this was also a great revolution 5,000 years ago. For the newly unified tribal alliance, the group marriage system has factors that are extremely unfavorable to unity, and marriage snatching often occurs, not only men robbing women, but also women robbing men.

Fights and brawls often broke out between the tribes of the new alliance over marriages. After a long time, the contradictions will inevitably intensify, and there is a possibility of re-splitting between the tribes. The Yellow Emperor was often worried about this matter, and he found the ministers around him, Chang Xian, Da Hong, Feng Hou, Li Mu, Cangjie and others, and discussed many times how to stop group marriages and establish monogamy, but no one came up with a feasible solution.

One day, the Yellow Emperor accompanied a group of big giants to inspect whether the cave where the people lived was safe, and suddenly found that a family lived in three caves, in order to prevent the invasion of wild beasts, a high wall was built with stones around it, leaving only a person to enter and exit the door, this discovery immediately aroused the interest of the Yellow Emperor.

That night, he summoned all the ministers around him, and the Yellow Emperor said: "I have an idea to stop group marriage, and let everyone talk about it and see if it works", and all the ministers told the Yellow Emperor to speak quickly.

The Yellow Emperor said: "Today we looked at the cave where the people lived, and I thought that the only way to stop group marriage is to marry a man and a woman in the future, and when they get married, they will first gather the people of the tribe to congratulate them, perform a ceremony, worship heaven and earth, worship their fathers and mothers, and worship each other as husband and wife."

Then, eat and drink to celebrate, sing and dance, announce that the two have officially married, and finally, send the husband and wife into the cave (room) prepared in advance, build a high wall around it, leave only one door in and out, eat and drink by the relatives of both men and women, the long is 'three months, the short is forty days, so that they can establish the relationship between husband and wife in the cave, learn to cook on the fire, and learn how to live.

Henceforth. All the men and women of the tribe who marry into the cave house are called formal marriage, and it is no longer allowed to rob other people's men and women. To distinguish between married and unmarried. Every woman who is married must tie her unkempt hair in a knot. When people looked at it, they knew that the woman was married, and the man could no longer have any other plans, otherwise he would have violated the tribal law. ”

After the Yellow Emperor finished speaking about this proposition, he immediately received the support of Chang Xian, Dahong, Li Mu and others. Zhongqunjian asked Cangjie to write a law and publish it to the public, and this idea was quickly supported by various tribes.

People are vying to dig holes and build high walls for their children. As soon as the sons and daughters were married, after the ceremony, they were sent into the cave house. In this way, the vice of group marriage gradually disappeared.

But the forces of habit for thousands of years. is the most terrible force. It is deeply ingrained and cannot be completely changed overnight, and there are also some people who are not used to monogamous married life for a while.

It is said that there is a pair of hunters, the male is called Shi Zhen, and the female is called Mu Miao. The two are agreed by the parents of both sides to be married. After the wedding, they were both sent to the cave house.

After living for less than ten days, Shi Lei began to feel that he only accompanied one woman all day. What's the point, it's better to marry in a group. Accompany whichever you like, you can find two or three a day.

Mu Miao also felt uncomfortable in the cave room, and it was really no fun to spend time with a man all day long, it was better to marry freely in a group, and love each other for a few days if you fancy any man, and then find another man if you don't like it after a few days, how free.

Since both of them had the idea of not wanting to live a monogamous life, one night, taking advantage of the late night, the two of them crossed the wall and ran away.

Both Shi Zhen and Mu Miao fled into the big forest, and they couldn't find a place with people for a while, and the more anxious they were, the more confused the road became. He didn't have hunting tools with him, for fear of being invaded by wild beasts. After dawn, thirsty and hungry, the two unconsciously came together again.

In order to save their lives, the two had to rely on each other, picking wild fruits and mushrooms all day long. Because I got lost, I couldn't get out of the big forest for a while, I really don't know what to do?

In the end, they realized that no one could do without anyone at the moment. One day, the two of them were really thirsty, hungry and tired, and they both lay down under a big tree to rest, and a swarm of bees buzzed and circled over his heads, and the stone broke a branch, and beat left and right to disperse the swarm.

Unexpectedly, the bees became angry and stung the two of them with blue noses and swollen faces. Shi Zhen found that the bee colony came out of the crack in the tree, took out the flint he had brought with him, he told the sapling to collect dry firewood, and quickly lit a fire, and they took out the fire stick from the fire, and burned it vigorously towards the crack in the big tree.

In an instant, the bee burned its wings and could no longer fly. Flames reached through the cracks in the trees and burned the hive, and honey seeped out of the cracks.

At first, the two of them didn't know what was flowing out, but they smelled the fragrance, Shi Zhen dipped it with his hand, put it in his mouth and licked it with his tongue, it was very sweet, he asked Mu Miao to taste it again, and the two concluded that it was not poisonous, and hurriedly picked up some bark and filled all the honey that flowed out.

From this day on, the two of them picked mushrooms in the forest all day long, dipped in honey to satisfy hunger, and spent a whole month in the big forest.

After more than a month of tossing in the big forest, the little couple was frightened, worried all day long, only afraid that wild beasts would come to attack, no one wanted to separate, no one could not do without anyone, the relationship between husband and wife became deeper and deeper, and they really understood the taste of love.

After returning to the tribe, Shi Zhen and Mu Miao were never separated again, and the young couple established a happy family from then on. This is the origin of "entering the cave room and honeymooning", which has been passed down to this day.

Of course, in some places in the countryside, there are also quite vulgar ways of making holes, such as hiding frogs in the quilt of the newcomer, and the newcomer will be scared when he opens the quilt. There are also firecrackers set off outside the new house in the middle of the night to scare people, causing the newlyweds to dare not sleep for a night.

What's worse is that in the middle of the night, the roof tiles of the new house are lifted and water is poured in, so that the newcomers cannot sleep. These are unethical and are subject to public criticism. Of course, these behaviors are also very rare.

These strange tricks of making holes in the house are also quite vulgar, and they are actually a kind of regression of social civilization, and everyone must resolutely stop them.

In today's civilized society, there should be no more such pranks, and the way of making a hole should be fun, humorous, and lively. Couples and relatives and friends should respect each other, so that everyone does not break up unhappily.

However, relatively speaking, whether it is a pure folk custom or a story or a legend, it is also a part of Chinese culture after all, and it should be selectively preserved and carried forward.

Marriage, no matter who it is, is a great joy and a major event in life after all.

Everyone is usually very busy, and there are few opportunities to get together together, so the cave room is a good opportunity to communicate and catch up.

As relatives and friends, it is usually difficult to get together for small things, but the marriage of relatives and friends is generally not lazy, so simply take this opportunity to make a good fuss.

Zhao Chaogang's noisy room for this wedding, his relatives and friends did not embarrass them so much, and they all stopped in moderation.

When they were in the cave room, they just asked Zhao Chaogang, Li Liping, and Liu Jingjing to perform some of the programs that Zhao Chaogang was good at, such as singing, dancing, some small magic tricks, and some very simple programs such as riddles.

Of course, not everyone chooses such a simple program, such as Cai Chanjuan and a few of Liu Jingjing's best friends, which gave Zhao Chaogang a problem.

Zhao Chaogang's age is eleven years older than Cai Chanjuan and them, so Zhao Chaogang is in Cai Chanjuan's eyes, he is an uncle-level cunzii, and now he sees that the tender Jingjing is married to the 'uncle', Cai Chanjuan, Liu Jingjing's best friend, wants to fight for Liu Jingjing, so he racked his brains to make a problem to embarrass Zhao Chaogang.

Cai Chanjuan and the others covered Zhao Chaogang's eyes, and then mixed Li Liping and Liu Jingjing among seven or eight women, and asked the blindfolded Zhao Chaogang to pick out which two were his brides among the seven or eight people.

If he was wrong, Zhao Chaogang would bark a few times as a puppy, and Cai Chanjuan wanted to make it more difficult for Zhao Chaogang to choose, but she also asked those girls to apply the perfume used by Li Liping and Liu Jingjing, and wanted to yin Zhao Chaogang because of this.

Cai Chanjuan's calculations are indeed very good, but unfortunately, people are not as good as heaven, Zhao Chaogang's sense of smell is very sensitive, plus some things that Cai Chanjuan doesn't understand, so Zhao Chaogang found Li Liping and Liu Jingjing in the crowd at once, otherwise, without using his divine sense, it is really difficult to pick out Li Liping and Liu Jingjing among seven or eight women.

So why was Zhao Chaogang able to find Li Liping and Liu Jingjing so easily? In fact, the reason for this is very simple. Because, even if other women apply the perfume used by Li Liping and Liu Jingjing, the body fragrance of each woman is the same as the fingerprints on their hands, which is different.

For other people, it is indeed difficult to distinguish the difference between them, but this is a very simple thing for Zhao Chaogang, a cultivator, so Zhao Chaogang found them very easily based on the unique body fragrance of Li Liping and Liu Jingjing, which made Cai Chanjuan on the side stomp her feet a few times in disappointment.

This most difficult problem was solved by Zhao Chaogang lightly, Cai Chanjuan and the others suddenly lost the mind of playing tricks on Zhao Chaogang, and then, Cai Chanjuan and they did not have any problems to embarrass Zhao Chaogang, which can be regarded as allowing Zhao Chaogang to escape again.
