The son-in-law with strange customs in rural areas is smeared
China's culture has a long history. In the long history of five thousand years, we have not only inherited unique arts such as Peking Opera, opera, and writing that have amazed the world, but also some strange and even scary customs and customs. Today, Xiaobian will take you into this mysterious world and let you experience the strange folk marriage customs in rural Handan, Hebei-the daughter-in-law smearing the face!
A long time ago, there was a small village called Xiaowa in Handan. The young man in the village was called Xiaoshan. He was handsome, hard-working and kind. Unfortunately, his family was poor and he was alone. Ten miles away, in Taohua Town, there is a girl named Guanxiu. She is the only favorite daughter of the wealthy Councillor Su! People are not only as beautiful as flowers, but also well-informed and polite. In the blink of an eye, Guanxiu was old enough to marry. She rejected her father's idea of finding a rich man and chose a son-in-law in a unique way.
Councillor Su persuaded Moguo, but he had to obey his daughter. On the day of the lottery, there was a sea of people in front of the lottery building, and Xiao Shan also came to join in the fun to broaden his horizons. Unexpectedly, the colored ball hit Xiao Shan's head without incident. This not only angered the friends in the same village, but also annoyed Qinxiang, a girl who passed away long ago. It turned out that Miss Qinxiang was also the daughter of a rich family in this town. She died of depression because she was dissatisfied with her father marrying her to Chen Tiangong, who had retired from retirement...
On this day, she heard that Guanxiu was going to choose a son-in-law in a lottery, so Miss Qinxiang also came to join in the fun. Unexpectedly, she also fell in love with Xiao Shan, a handsome young man. So she followed Xiao Shan to the house, revealed her true form at night, and told Xiao Shan what had happened. Miss Qinxiang also told him that she wanted to marry Xiao Shan. Unexpectedly, she was rejected by Xiao Shan, which angered Miss Qinxiang. Before she left, she threatened to destroy Xiao Shan's appearance during the wedding, and disappeared after saying that.
Xiao Shan was anxious and afraid, and immediately told the Su family about this matter the next day. When the whole family heard this, they were all stunned. Only Miss Guanxiu's sister-in-law said:"Don't worry, you have your own opinions on the day of the wedding." Time passed in the blink of an eye. On the wedding day, Xiao Shan rode a tall horse and followed the wedding team to the word Su. When the ceremonial officer shouted,"The groom mounts the horse," Xiao Shan was just about to stand up. At this time, Miss Guanxiu's sister-in-law suddenly appeared and stretched out her hands to wipe Xiao Shan's face. Suddenly, his fair and handsome face turned into a black pot. At this time, he heard his sister-in-law shouting loudly,"My brother-in-law has become an ugly monster, and my sister won't leave." After saying that, he grabbed Guan Xiu and stuffed him into the sedan chair.
At this time, Miss Qinxiang, who was waiting at the entrance of the village, saw Xiao Shanqi extremely ugly and thought to herself, I didn't get Qiaolangjun, and neither did you. So, he also disappeared laughing. Since then, the custom of a bridegroom marrying a daughter-in-law to smear his face has been passed down in Handan. At the same time, the habit of sister-in-law pulling the sedan chair when the bride boarded the sedan chair was also left behind.
