Chapter 741
Chapter 740 The second uncle's relative

Then Secretary Luo said that since so many people arrived, why don't we hold a few meetings.

So the government-led seminars on jade carving, intangible cultural heritage, tourism, culture, ecological agriculture, and environmental protection were held together.

The grade is not low, and the participants are all big names in the industry.For example, the Jade Carving Symposium, of course, is the top level in the country; the Ecological Agriculture Symposium, one domestic and two foreign universities participated; the Environmental Protection Seminar, well-known enterprises and scientific research institutes in China and Germany; the Cultural Seminar, famous sinologists, musicians , painters, translators, filmmakers; intangible cultural heritage seminars, it is not the tree, but the nest that can be put on the table...

Secretary Xue's mouth was crooked. All the secretaries and county magistrates in the same city, this is what Secretary Luo meant, but it's really not my face in Jiachuan County who is asking for credit!

One trouble is that the higher authorities now require all kinds of reports to be concise and to the point, and the new secretary is not as good as Xiao Wang in the past. Ouch, this year's year-end summary report has to be a headache again!

Then when these people moved, of course Wang Yatou had to follow suit. This time, she definitely couldn't handle it alone, so she also brought a team.

Staggering these people, it is Mrs. Liu Yedu and Brother Datou Ermengyigan, along with Jack, Tang Jiankai, and a group of old colleagues from Yuzhou.

A Yin has already returned to the Miao village on the third day of September, and the Miao family also has etiquettes such as "crying for relatives", so they have to go up and prepare in advance.

In Miao family weddings, the groom and the bride do not "go to the hall" on the wedding day and have different rooms, which is just a symbol of the union of husband and wife, not the beginning of a new family established by husband and wife living together.Therefore, there is nothing to do with the groom, and even the groom has to hide elsewhere, usually at his uncle's house.

For the Miao family, this custom means that the newlyweds are polite, otherwise, if they have intercourse too early, people will talk about their ignorance and be ridiculed.

Since he didn't need to come forward himself, Li Junge arranged his Miao wedding ceremony at Uncle Orion's house. He is now an official disciple of Uncle Orion, he can be regarded as half of him.

Using Uncle Orion's family as her husband's family to marry A Yin, this is the most important wedding of the Miao family, "the uncle's relative".

When Ayin is brought down from the mountain, Uncle Orion's family will become the natal family of the Han family in Lijiagou, and then they will be taken to Li Junge's house according to the customs of the Han family.

So in fact, the wedding will begin on the evening of the fourth day of September.

The team to go up the mountain must be carefully selected. The Miao family must have more than ten people, all men, regardless of age, but the requirements are also high. They must be able to eat, drink, carry and run.

The old one must have a living spouse, the family is harmonious, and it is best to have both children; the young one must have both parents.

Among them, the most important people are the "wine secretary", that is, the officiant of the man; the other is the "middleman", that is, the witness of the man's marriage.

Therefore, the team must have Uncle Pharmacist who has been on the mountain for a long time and is familiar with Miao Min as the bartender, Wang Huanbang, the vice-captain of the cultural performance team who is eloquent and adaptable, as the middleman, and Miao Wa, a mixed race who understands the rules of both sides, as the military adviser. A large group of members of the team, as well as curious babies such as pig and insect king Congjun, and then Si Xingzhun joined with great interest with a camera on his shoulder.

On the afternoon of the fourth day, the team officially set off.

Miaowa is carrying a five-foot-long green bamboo, with green branches and green leaves, all roots and tips, no insect eyes and mud on the roots.This must be carried on the left shoulder throughout the whole process, with a big male duck tied to it, and the shoulders cannot be changed halfway, so as to show that the bride and groom will be like bamboo evergreen and never change their integrity.

Wan Dali and others carried the burden, as well as a nine-pound rooster with a big red crown, and a 200-pound rooster that had been slaughtered with its hair removed and its internal organs left. There was also a big black pig with a colored silk hydrangea and a lion's head tied on top of its head.

There are also two high-shouldered baskets of colorful glutinous rice, with dozens of colored eggs on the surface of each basket, two white porcelain flower bowls, two pairs of newly made red bamboo chopsticks, and one jar sealed with red paper. Glutinous rice wine.

Li Junge said: "Everyone, I lost face because I didn't know the rules when I delivered the order a few days ago, so now I can only accept the punishment and be good. My daughter-in-law, please everyone! Piggy, show me well! "

Zhu Chaoan was full of confidence: "Don't worry, leave it to us! I promise to bring Ayin down properly!"

Uncle Yaoshi smiled and said: "Chao'an, when the time comes to the stockade, drink as soon as you come, and eat as soon as you come, you can't shirk, otherwise you will dirty my Lijiagou team!"

Zhu Chaoan was gearing up: "That's easy to say! Nothing else, eating and drinking has always been a strong point!"

Li Junge drove them to the forest farm zipline, where Uncle Mu and Aunt Mu were already waiting. When they saw the crowd coming, they came over with a pot of steamed meat with sand, and said with a smile: "This show is fine, all of you can go up." No laxity! Come on, let’s put the bar mat first, it’s better than a wine card.”

A group of people went up the mountain on a zipline and organized the team at the forest farm. Miaowa led the team with bamboo on his shoulders, followed by Uncle Yaoshi and Uncle Huanbang. In the middle was the forest guard team carrying the wedding ceremony.

As soon as I walked out for a mile, I saw a horizontal table in front of me, and a group of Miao aunts, holding wine bottles, wine jugs, and wine glasses, had been waiting there for a long time. When they saw the team coming, Laughing and swarming up, those who twisted their ears twisted their ears, and those who pulled their noses pulled their noses, and they caught the team and poured them all.

Uncle Medicine Master was poured two cups, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Oh, I have to show the ceremony later, if you can't do it, behind, those young people behind will do whatever you want..."

Then Wan Dali also felt a little fierce, and hurriedly said: "I still need to work hard, I can't use my strength when I'm drunk, behind, those empty-handed people behind, let you toss..."

Then Zhu Er Chong Wang Congjun Xingzhun and a few rangers who were waiting to be rotated empty-handed were surrounded.

Si Xingzhun laughed, and patted the camera on his shoulders: "There is still a shooting task, I must take a full picture of Ah Yin's wedding..."

Then he was also let go, leaving the Zhuer Chongjun and several forest ranger bachelors who had just replaced their shoulders looking at each other.

Pigworm said: "Uh...can we surrender..."

A Miao aunt said with a smile: "It's so easy! Sisters, go!"

Then it was impossible to watch, Wang Congjun saw that the situation was not good, shouted: "Run!" and ran into the stockade with his head in his arms.

The aunts were laughing and chasing after him.

Not long after I ran out, I was stopped by the second drink card, and then I really couldn't run away, so I gave it another shot.

When they came to the edge of the stockade, the group had already been tortured by four or five wine cards, and many of them had already started to stagger.

Entering the village, there are red and colorful decorations at the wooden gate, a long table is erected across the road, and a large ox horn that can hold wine hangs on the left and right gates. Grandpa Yu is already waiting at the gate.

This is called "blocking wine", and those just now belonged to small troubles.

Seeing that the relatives arrived, Grandpa Yu raised his hand with a smile and waved lightly. This time it was scary. A group of aunts came up, each holding an ox horn with at least six taels of rice wine in it.

Except for Uncle Medicine Master and Uncle Huanbang who had to perform rituals to drink less, the rest of them were given two ox horns of wine each.

Zhu Erchong and Wang Congjun's eyes began to drift a little.

The Miao family happily surrounded the welcoming team and entered the village, and came to the big house on the top of the village.

There are two long tables in the main room, and there is a cooked rooster near the shrine. The cooked rooster has been cut into several large pieces and put back together again. The thighs, wings and claws must be intact and cannot be cut off.

Next to it is a large wooden basin, which contains cooked pig's head, pig's liver, pig's loin, pig's heart, pig's lung, and pig's trotter.

There is also a pot of glutinous rice and three bowls of wine.

The rest of the table was filled with rich wine and meat.

Then Grandpa Yu, Grandma Ou, Yin's father, and mother Ni sat in the middle seat, and on the right sat Uncle Pharmacist, Uncle Huanbang and the accompanying relatives.

On the left are the silversmith's grandpa, the woman's family secretary, Uncle A Chong, the middleman, and relatives and friends accompanying the guests.

Standing around are many aunts and aunts presenting gift belts to their loved ones, as well as guests from other villages.

The master of ceremonies was an old friend invited by Grandpa Yu. He was the old Kanye from Chigou Township in Qianzhou. In the cockfight between Grandpa Yu and old A-Bian, he was the referee.

The host and guests sat down, and the room gradually became quiet. Lao Kanye stood up and poured a little wine and offerings on the ground, muttering words in his mouth. This is a sacrifice to the ancestors and gods.

Then he stood up and began to praise: "Good days are peaceful and auspicious, good nights are smooth and prosperous. The guests are brilliant, and the high-ranking relatives are full of glory. The beautiful girl is married, and the golden core is a pair. The ancestors follow the rules and the children follow the rules. Yumei, I wish the bride and groom grow old together and live happily ever after!"

After the ceremony, Mr. Kan brought two bowls of wine to the winemakers of the two parties.

The pharmacist uncle and the silversmith grandfather stood up silently at the same time, dripping wine on the ground to worship their ancestors, and then exchanged glasses for a drink.

Next, Mr. Kan took two chicken legs and handed them to Uncle Pharmacist and Grandpa Silversmith, and then Uncle Pharmacist and Grandpa Silversmith exchanged with each other, saying that the two sides have food and clothing from now on.

This was inedible, and the two put the exchanged chicken legs on the table.Lao Kanye poured another glass for both parties, and the two exchanged glasses again, which means that the bride and groom will have a happy life together.

After the cup was handed over this time, Uncle Medicine Master took out a prepared gold coin from his pocket and presented it to the silversmith grandpa with both hands as gift money.

Lord Kan said in praise: "The rooster celebrates, and the road is accomplished; the gold is presented, and the husband and wife are married; the sons and daughters are good, and the relatives and friends witness; the family is passed on, and the happiness is boundless!"

Immediately afterwards, Lao Kanye also served a bowl of wine to each of the two parties. Uncle Huanbang and Uncle Achong also stood up silently to receive the wine, and exchanged glasses across the table.

Mr. Kan took two more chicken wings and handed them over. Uncle Huanbang and Uncle Achong exchanged them with each other after receiving them, expressing that the two sides have built a bridge of kinship since then.

Lord Kan said in praise: "The golden bridge is built with wings, and the two families are united; the ancestors are happy, and the gods protect them; when Yuzhen meets, yin and yang compare with each other; for a lifetime of harmony and beauty, the descendants will be prosperous!"

After the ceremony was over, Grandpa Yu handed over a straw label made of three straw cores wrapped in white paper and banknotes to Old Kanye. After Lao Kanye opened it for inspection, he handed the straw label to Uncle Pharmacist.

The Miao family attaches great importance to the grass bid. In the eyes of the Miao family, the grass bid not only has the functions of recording things, vouchers, education, transmitting information, and eliminating disasters, but also has the function of exorcising and killing ghosts.

Going out to the market, visiting relatives and friends, passing Baozhai trees, Yan father, and Yan mother; or after finishing every labor, or crops are plagued by pests, etc., put a grass mark there to bless the safety and harvest.

When going in and out at night, in case there are ghosts following behind, you can also stop them by making a grass mark and putting it on the road behind you.
