across the left ear

Xu Yi's voice rang in his ear:

On this occasion of coming of age, in the name of a citizen of the People's Republic of China, I solemnly swear in front of the flag of the People's Republic of China——

Defend the sacred constitution and uphold the dignity of the law;

Fulfill civic duties and assume social morality;

Inherit the behest of the ancestors and carry forward the excellent tradition;

The prosperity of the country comes first, and the interests of the people come first;

Enthusiastically contribute to the society, worthy of the cultivation of the motherland;

Diligent and promising, live up to the high expectations of the people;

With my fiery youth, build a splendid China;”

Listening to such a modern oath, looking at the ancient costume in front of him, Jiang Jiao's whole body is not good! !What is this situation, how can there be a sense of time-traveling vision!While this scene was over and everyone was resting, Jiang Jiao touched Bai Yan's side and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, what's the matter, isn't it the ancient times? What the hell is that oath just now? !"

Bai Yan glanced at Jiang Jiao, and then said, "Then I have to ask you and Xu Yi?"

"(⊙o⊙)? Us? We didn't do anything!"

Seeing Jiang Jiao who started to shout excitedly, Bai Yan stopped teasing her, "The thing is like this: Although "Character" was supposed to be a short film, it was planned to be very short, you understand?"

"Well, at the beginning, I also thought it would be an hour or half an hour short film at most! But they took such a long time to shoot. I have always wondered why this is? It can't be that they have a large budget and the money is not paid. Let's spend it!" Seeing Jiang Jiao who was trying to guess the sky everywhere, Bai Yan coughed and pulled her back from her thoughts.

Jiang Jiao was interrupted by the sound of coughing, and looked at Bai Yan (isn’t this the one who knows the answer?! Why are you guessing! Jiang Jiao, who understands that he is wasting brain cells, is out of control, ╭(╯ ^╰)╮)

Seeing that she could listen, Bai Yan continued, "The first scene that day was...ahem...the day you and Xu Yi just finished putting on makeup, and the day Xu Yi auditioned..." Looking at Jiang Jiao, he finally remembered Finally, he went on to say: "Didn't many experts be there at the time~" I knew this, Jiang Jiao nodded, and then signaled Bai Yan to continue.

"Well, the main reason is that your performance (do you have this? Bai Yan) is too brilliant. One expert is the president of the Traditional Culture Communication Association. They plan to make a promotional video. After watching the tape recorded by Jack, they will talk with you Mr. Smith had a conversation and discussed asking them to help with filming together."

"Mr. Smith's official is very big, how can he make a decision and agree to it at once?!" Hearing Jiang Jiao's muttering, Bai Yan knocked on her, "You really care too much! This has nothing to do with us, It's their own business, our task is to film and act well according to their requirements."

"I see, Uncle, (pushing tongue out)" Looking at the mischievous Jiang Jiao, Bai Yan also smiled fondly, and the two continued to watch Xu Yi's filming.It may be that Xu Yi's crown ceremony has been filmed for two days in order to make a good promotional film regardless of the cost.Afterwards, we will shoot Xu Yi's marriage proposal after he becomes an adult, which will be filmed together with the wedding ceremony.

Today is the pre-wedding shooting, which mainly includes Nacai, asking for names, Najib;

In Chinese folk marriages, matchmakers play a key role.After this morning came, Jiang Jiao and Xu Yi discovered the expert who played the role of matchmaker.Because it follows Chinese etiquette and customs, which repeatedly emphasizes the so-called fate that there is no cloud in the sky and no rain, and there is no marriage on the ground without a matchmaker.Both men and women must go through a matchmaker before they can form a marriage.So the matchmaker's promotion of the matchmaker was focused on filming. In the shot, the matchmaker bridged the gap between the man and the woman. After matching the men and women played by Jiang Jiao and Xu Yi, the matchmaker received some money. (This amount of money is called a thank-you gift, and the money is usually paid by the man.) The pre-shooting of the matchmaker is over.

In ancient times, single men and women rarely had the opportunity to get close, especially women, who lived deep in the boudoir.After the matchmaker agrees, the man usually proposes to take a look. This kind of activity of visiting the woman's home for the first time under the leadership of the matchmaker is called a blind date, commonly known as watching relatives.However, due to the setting of the plot, Jiang Jiao and Xu Yi are childhood sweethearts, and they grew up like childhood sweethearts, so the blind date is omitted.

What is directly carried out is the shooting of the ceremony. After the blind date, the man and the woman can perform certain marriage procedures. This process is called the ceremony.During the ceremony, the matchmaker should send the man's birthday horoscope to the woman, and the woman's birthday horoscope to the man.At this time, most superstitious parents will ask a fortune teller to calculate whether the horoscopes of a man and a woman are compatible or not.If you agree, the marriage will continue; if you don't agree, stop the marriage and avoid talking about it.After exchanging posts, the matchmaker will choose a good day to take the man to the engagement ceremony.A gift is a big event in a wedding, and the initiative of the marriage should send a generous gift to the other party.Due to the different customs in different places, the gifts are also different.Some places require gifts to include at least one pork knuckle, two bottles of wine, one chicken and one duck, one set of clothing for each other's parents, one pair of shoes and socks, one bag, and some things for the girl.How much money to seal in the envelope and what engagement items to give to the girl are generally negotiated in advance by the matchmaker and the two parties separately, and cannot be counted as much as the man gives.After the ceremony, the men and women can agree on the date of marriage.Looking at the experts who look like old actors, Jiang Jiao and Xu Yi feel that they have learned a lot of things. When they have no part in their own scenes after filming, Jiang Jiao and Xu Yi quietly stay aside and study carefully...

One day passed during the study of the two, and the next day, it was time for the shooting. In the traditional Chinese concept, the choice of the day of marriage is also very particular. People think that the choice of the day of marriage is related to the future happiness of both men and women. .This activity of choosing a good day and auspicious day is called choosing a date, or choosing auspiciousness.The elective tasks are usually completed by astrologists or fortune tellers. Of course, parents with a high level of education can also read the imperial calendar or make their own calculations.After the wedding date is decided, the parents of both parties can send invitations to invite relatives and friends to the wedding.Wedding invitations are generally sent to relatives and friends in person by the parties to the marriage or their parents.After the relatives and friends receive the wedding invitation, generally speaking, even if they can't go, they still have to give gifts and write a word of congratulations on the gifts.In ancient times, most of the gifts given to the woman were real objects, such as boxes, cabinets, beds, quilts, clothes, materials, etc., and the gift giver did not have to wait until the invitation was delivered, because the woman's parents had to decide the marriage according to the number of gift givers. Wine scale.Looking at those things, Jiang Jiao really admired the props group! There are so many things, and I don’t know how they found them in such a short time. “This time the country also attaches great importance to them. Some of those things are real antiques. I borrowed it from the museum first, and I will send it back immediately after the filming is completed. Did you see the preservation next to it? It is here to protect these cultural relics!" Bai Yan immediately explained her confusion when he heard Jiang Jiao's words .Only then did Jiang Jiao realize that he had spoken out what was in his heart again.She was going to be pissed to death by her occasional foolishness! !Seeing Jiang Jiao's annoyed expression, Xu Yi stroked her head with his hand to comfort his cute little girlfriend.

During the time when everyone was talking, the filming was finished at an optional date.Next is the shop.In ancient times, the day before the wedding between a man and a woman, the woman would send someone to the man's house to lay the house together with the man. This procedure is called paving the house.Laying things are different between men and women.Sima Guang's "Shu Yi San Marriage Ceremony" said: Beds, mats, chairs, tables and the like should be used for men's furniture, and felt mattresses, curtains and quilts should be used for women's furniture.After making the house, the woman's family must personally press the house and prepare gifts before coming to warm the house.Also, the trusted women and the envoys of the married women guard the house and prevent outsiders from entering the house to wait for the new couple.

At the same time, Xu Yi went to shoot, and on the day before the marriage, Xu Yi needed to send chickens, ducks, pork knuckles, shoes and socks, fabrics, and money for the matchmaker’s thank-you gifts (must be sealed with red paper, called red envelopes or Envelope.) Send them to the matchmaker’s house together.Afterwards, the matchmaker must go to guide the marriage the next day, which is called a round matchmaker or a matchmaker, or a matchmaker.

Seeing Xu Yi whose acting skills had obviously improved a lot, Jiang Jiao was happy.It seems that the observation and study these days are still very effective.

After one night, it was the day of welcoming the bride. The filming started in the woman's boudoir. As soon as she woke up in the morning, Jiang Jiao would have her face opened. This is a process that girls do before they get married, also called face opening.A woman with both sons and daughters, played by an expert, is twisted with two threads to pluck the hair from the face of the woman to be married.Wear an extra velvet flower on Jiang Jiao's head. (The velvet flower is made of weaving grass to become a human image, like a unicorn giving birth to a child. Because the homonym of velvet flower and Ronghua means prosperity and wealth.) This scene is completed.Waiting for this scene to be filmed, Jiang Jiao felt that his face was not his own anymore.Xu Yi hurried over and asked, "Jiaojiao, how are you doing?"

"Xu Yi, my whole face is numb! How did the people in the past endure it? Did it change after I opened my face?"

Hearing Jiang Jiao's question, Xu Yi began to look at her seriously. At this time, Jiang Jiao's head was black, his face was like a silver plate, his eyes were like autumn water, and his two beautiful eyebrows were like a slender crescent moon, and his eyebrows were not drawn. And Cui, with a plump nose and vermilion lips, and between opening his mouth, his white teeth are as white as jade... Xu Yi suddenly felt embarrassed, and his ears turned red all of a sudden.

Seeing Xu Yi's expression, Jiang Jiao was also shy. She turned around and saw herself in the mirror, with blushing lips, face like a silver basin, and eyes like apricots.

"Okay, the one just now was very good, let's move on to the next one. Attention everyone, get ready..." After hearing the director's voice, Xu Yi quickly backed away, and Jiang Jiao quickly sat down. The servant girl came up to help her put on the phoenix clothes and phoenix crown.This is the custom of dressing when the bride gets married. (Phoenix clothes and phoenix crowns are clothes embroidered with phoenix dragon patterns and colorful decorations, which symbolize auspiciousness and wealth, and were unique to ancient nobles. The increase or decrease.) Then, before the bride gets on the sedan chair, the peers or juniors will accompany the groom to eat and share a meal.The bride puts on her crown and headscarf after the dinner, and is led by the supporters to bid farewell to her parents, relatives and friends. Afterwards, the sieve holders and candle holders guide her from left to right, and she leaves the pavilion and enters the sedan chair. "Okay. Card! Let's take a break first. Let's shoot the wedding part after dinner." Jiang Jiao immediately took off the headscarf after hearing the director's words, and when the makeup artist took off the phoenix crown for herself, Bai Yan had already helped Jiang Jiao took the meal back.She didn't find Xu Yi when she walked over, she asked: "Where is Xu Yi? Uncle"

"Xu Yi is on the other side, filming the part where the man greets the bride after he comes out of the house. I called back just now and said that I ate there, and I can come to pick up the bride in a while."

"Oh..." Knowing the reason, Jiang Jiao started having dinner with Bai Yan.Not long after eating, the make-up artist came, first to touch up Jiang Jiao's makeup, and then put on a phoenix crown for her. Just after finishing the work, other people came back and continued to shoot.Xu Yi brought the bridegroom to Jiang Jiao's house, and when the sedan chair arrived at the woman's house, he fired cannons and played music to welcome her.After the welcoming team enters the main room of the bride's family, the bridegroom lands on the sedan chair, pays homage to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and presents a red greeting card written in his father's name.Then there is a festive feast for women.The matchmaker and the groom should be more careful during the banquet, because there is an unwritten custom among the Chinese people. During the three days of the wedding, young people of the same generation and younger generations among relatives and friends can ingeniously make up a few small comedies to tease the matchmaker or the groom. It is called media washing and hanging red, commonly known as He Xinke.Matchmakers and grooms should tolerate these little dramas that can add to the joy, and take a little revenge, but don't really get angry.After the meal, the bride and groom will salute to the bride's ancestors and elders under the guidance of the matchmaker, and then the bride's head will be covered with a red scarf, and the bride can help the bride on the sedan chair.At this time, a respectable old woman took a dustpan containing millet and beans and scattered them everywhere, and in some places she sowed grass.Before the bride gets on the sedan chair, the inside and outside of the sedan chair must be sown.Before going out, the bride usually has to cry to show her attachment to her parents and family.After the bride gets on the sedan chair, she plays music and fires guns, and gets up from the sedan chair to make a kiss.The band is in front, and behind the band is the groom, riding a horse if possible, followed by the bridal sedan chair and other people who see off the relatives.When the procession of picking up the bride is about to arrive at the door of the groom's house, the groom's family will fire cannons to welcome them with joy.When the sedan chair arrives in front of the man's door, the bride also needs to sow the beans before getting off the sedan chair, which is called sowing grain beans.Afterwards, the sedan chair stops in front of the main room of the groom's house, and the bride invited by the man's family will step forward to lift the curtain of the sedan chair and help the bride out of the car. Red and yellow confetti are used instead, pushing the wedding to the eclipse.

Holding the red silk in his hand, Xu Yi felt that he was about to fly.I finally got married to Jiaojiao, helped her step over the high threshold, and stood still in front of the hall. The incense table was surrounded by cigarettes, the red candles were burning high, and relatives, friends, and officials took their places.The two bridesmaids appeared as Yin Zan and Tong Zan respectively, and began to salute.The bride and groom receive the praises of Yinzan and Tongzan and start to worship.The traditional worship ceremony procedure is as follows:

Yin Zan: The bridegroom stands in front of the sedan chair.

Tong Zan: Start the newcomer on the sedan chair.

Cited praise: The groom bows and bows to invite the bride.

Cited praise: The bride and groom arrive in front of the flower hall.

Cited praise: The bride and groom take their places in front of the incense table.Playing music and firing cannons.

Tongzan: The bride and groom offer joss sticks to the gods and ancestral tablets.

Cited praise: Kneel, offer joss sticks.Lighting candles, burning incense, burning incense, accumulating energy, rejuvenating, resetting the body.

Tongzan: Kneel, kowtow, kowtow again, kowtow three times

Then there is the traditional three worships - first to heaven and earth, second to parents, husband and wife to each other, and finally to the bridal chamber.The worship ceremony is over.

After entering the bridal chamber, Xu Yi took off the hijab on Jiang Jiao's head, and saw her big eyes were smiling, pretty and seductive, the water covered the ground with mist, rippling with charm, the corners of her small mouth were slightly raised, and her red lips were slightly parted. Xu Yi's eyes were filled with astonishment, and the people who congratulated her also took this opportunity to have a look at the bride's demeanor.After reading it, Xi Niang arranged for the woman to sit on the left and the man to sit on the new bed, and the men from the man's family spread the tent with grains, beans, fruits and coins. "Ka, it's really great! Let's call it a day!" Following the director's voice, Xu Yi's dream was broken. It turned out to be a promotional film. Looking at such a moving Jiang Jiao, Xu Yi couldn't help feeling that the time was so long... …
