New house in Yangcheng.

The first night of marriage.

Setting up a bed.

This is a local custom in Xiangshan.

People who are healthy, have both parents, have healthy and strong spouse, have many children to set up beds. Such people are considered to be blessed and can pass on good luck to newcomers.

Generally, you will choose a good day for bedding based on the almanac or ask a professional person to choose. Usually, you will install a bed before getting married, and some will choose to represent a new beginning and a bright future the morning before the wedding.

The position of the new bed is particular, and should be placed in auspicious position that is beneficial to the newcomer. It must not be facing the doors and windows, nor can it be facing the pillars, nor can it be pressed against the beams.

"How can you do it? Oh, you run very fast, you are saying it well outside, why can't you do these small things well?"

"The placement is wrong. Come here, come here, let me do it. It's really worrying."

This is when Su Mu watched Su Shen tinker with it. She couldn't help but stop commanding after a long time.

This is going to end in person.

It seems like this is the case with my parents' generation.

At this time, no matter how you command it, you won’t feel at ease.

It's better to do it yourself.

Only then can you feel comfortable.

"Mom, is there any difference between me and what you put on?" Su Shen looked down. He didn't see much difference anyway.

But there are many tricks in the eyes of elders.

"Of course there is a difference. Look at what you put, it is almost facing the doors and windows. The window was opened at the beginning, the auspicious position of the machine was broken, and we will get married tomorrow. How can this work?"

"You must be well-positioned to be harmonious."

Su Shen smiled bitterly.

Although these aspects are customs.

But in fact, it's their generation.

I'm increasingly confused about it.

I can only do it by listening to my parents.

Of course, you can not do it even if you are big.

But this kind of thing.

I still hope both parents are satisfied.

Since parents like this kind of ritual and only feel at ease after doing it, it is equivalent to buying them some peace of mind.

"This bed is very particular, look at it."

Su Mu said: "The bedding supplies should be made in these processes. When installing the bed, you will use brand new bedding. Basically all red is used, mainly red, which symbolizes festiveness. Four quilts, four mattresses, two pairs of pillows, two pairs of cushions and other 18 items are the most auspicious."

"After laying the bed, sprinkle dried fruits such as red dates, peanuts, longans, lotus seeds and other dried fruits on the bed, which means that you will have a noble son early and have a happy life."

"This is called Sahiko."

"After a good person makes his bed, he will find a pair of healthy, lively, smart and smart children to jump around on the bed. It is best to choose children born in the year of the dragon, pig, and tiger to add the blessings of the newcomers. In some places, children will also spend the night in the new bed, and there is even a saying that children will urinate on the new bed, which means that they will spread out."

"This is called Guizi pressing the bed."

When Su Shen heard this, he wanted to lie down.

There are so many preparation procedures, and I feel more mentally tiring than training.

As a result, he was beaten immediately and said, "After setting up a bed, the newlyweds cannot sleep in the new bed before getting married, especially pregnant women, mourning women, widows, and women in menstruation cannot enter the wedding room to avoid catching up with the newlyweds' joy."

"Why are you going to lie down when you come up?"

"You'd better sprinkle sugar."

"Hey? More at the head of the bed!"

"Why are your child sprinkling so little on the head of the bed? You have to sprinkle more of these places so that they can be sweet and beautiful at that time. Do you know? But remember, otherwise, if your own child gets married in the future, you will know nothing."

"It's really worrying."

Su Shen could only smile bitterly: "Mom, there are so many details just for one installation, how can you remember this?"

"Is this quite a lot?" Su's mother said: "I remember that I was much more than this back then, and it's very simple now."

"I know you young people don't believe in this, but you only get married once. This time you have to follow my wishes and your father."

"Otherwise we won't feel at ease."

"You have to know that we all like Afang, and our parents-in-law and mother-in-law and our etiquette are also well done. We cannot neglect others. Afang must do enough etiquettes to be worthy of them, do you know?"

Su Shen could only nodded repeatedly.

He felt that Su's mother seemed to have never had so many speeches in her impression.

It seems that he is really concerned about this matter.

Since your parents are concerned, there is nothing to say about being a son, just follow them.

"Look at this bed making, the movements should be gentle and meticulous. The sheets, bedding, etc. should be flat and neat, and there should be no wrinkles or tilts. Each layer is laid, you can recite some auspicious words in your mouth, such as "making the bed and the dragon and the phoenix are auspicious", "one lay gold, two lay silver, three lay children and a large group of children" to send good wishes to the newlyweds."

"Do you understand?"

Su Shen nodded repeatedly.

"First lay the mattress, then lay the sheets, quilts, etc., and finally place the pillows. The pillows should be placed side by side, leaving a certain spacing in the middle, which means that the couple is companionship and independent of each other."

"This person spends half of his life in bed, so he must keep the bed in order to make the future more stable."

Su Shen nodded and replied, "I know, mom, I may have been staying in a hotel most of the nights before my life..."

"You're the only one." Su's mother glared at her, then turned to a smile again and said, "We didn't expect that your kid would get married so early. When you run better and better, your dad and I still discussed it. I don't know when you will get married."

"It turns out that celebrities and celebrities get married very late, and there are even those who don't get married, which makes us very anxious."

Su Shen laughed and said, "There is no way, Mom, then I have found my own true destiny. Why don't I get married?"

"Yes, yes, that's the reason." Su Mu's smile spread even further when she heard this, as if she was several years younger: "At that time, we can hold our grandson early and see our grandson getting married. If we get married so early, maybe our grandson can see it..."

"If I can live together for four generations, then I will be perfect in my life. I can still make friends with your old Su family."

These are the wishes of the previous generation of Chinese.

Since your parents like it.

Then he had no need to object.

Because of what I want to do.

My parents have never objected, have they?

Put your heart in mind.

This is just a kind of filial piety.

"After the bed is installed, the new bed cover will be covered with a red bed cover or sheet to prevent dust or other debris from smudgeing the new bed. The bed cover will not be officially unveiled until the wedding day of the newlyweds."

"After installing the bed and before the newlyweds get married, the new bed should be kept clean and tidy. Except for children who are pressing the bed, others should try not to touch the new bed to avoid affecting the joy of the new bed."

"Did you remember? If we are gone in the future, you should have a good bed with my grandson or my grandson. Otherwise, your dad and I will come down and we will cause trouble for you."

Su Shen could only continue to smile bitterly and nodded: "Haole, I remember, but you will live a hundred years old. Maybe you will have to command me by yourself at that time."

"Haha, I want to see my grandchildren."

Speaking of this, Su Mu's smile became even brighter. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and turned around and said to Su Shen: "By the way, you always say that we are superstitious, so now I will tell you something about science."

"Ha?" Su Shen was stunned.

I never expected that my mother would suddenly say this and stayed silent for a while.

"What, you know science."

"Remember it."

After Su Mu paved the bed, she said, "If the room is temporarily uninhabited after the bed is installed, the doors and windows should be closed to prevent dust, mosquitoes, etc. from entering the room. At the same time, it can also maintain the temperature and humidity in the room and protect the new bed and bedding."

"Be sure to remember to close it."

"Open it before you come in."

"And," Su Mu said.

"And?" Su Shen said, feeling that no matter how much more he has, he really can't remember it.

"You must be nice to Afang."

"This is something I discussed with your dad."

"You have grown up together, and everyone knows the truth, but don't just put your tail on the sky just because you have a little fame now."

"It must be nice to others."
