Making trouble in the bridal chamber is the last lively and interesting activity in the wedding custom, and it is also an important etiquette for the bride to enter the door to celebrate the bride and groom's birthday on the wedding night. The activities of making bridal chamber in ancient northern Guangxi were not in bridal chamber, but in auditorium. People call it "disturbing the bridal chamber", also known as "disturbing the flower hall" and "disturbing the new house"
In the evening, the groom's handyman cleaned the hall. Two square tables of the Eight Immortals are placed in the middle, and chairs and benches are placed around them for the guests who come to the "bridal chamber" to sit down.
After dinner, young men, women or old people in the village, or groups of three or four people, managed to set off firecrackers happily and walked into the groom's house with a can of good wine and several dishes of gifts, melon seeds, peanuts, candy, cooked pork liver slices and pork sausages. The receptionist immediately took the gift and was busy entertaining the guests to take their seats in the hall. When the villagers and guests who ate good wine filled the hall, the new house began to make trouble.
Two unmarried young people who are somewhat shrewd and graceful are selected from those who never make trouble in the bridal chamber to have tea, and the groom is invited into the hall. The two young people who invited the groom were called Lang Ke. The two of them walked up to the groom, bowed deeply, and then shouted:
Chrysanthemums are three feet short, and trees are spring breeze;
I didn't go to the emperor's, so I came to pay homage to "xianggong" first.
When the groom saw the guests coming to meet him, he immediately got up and walked to the hall with the guests. Another guest with lang sings in the roar of firecrackers:
One step peach blossom, two steps plum blossom;
Three steps to tie a knot, four steps to attract men! !
At this time, people waiting for the bride and groom to eat sugar tea in the hall saw the groom coming and sang loudly:
The wind shakes the ponytail, and the groom rides Gao Qiao;
Three feet of silk cushion the horse's back and four feet of silk girdle the waist.
As soon as the song stopped, all the people in the hall responded with one voice and cheered "Good!" Then, someone sings:
The groom is new, everything is new; Give birth to your son, China Hanlin.
When the groom walked into the center of the hall and waited for the bride to come out to serve tea together, the people who made trouble in the bridal chamber turned over the contents of the lyrics, and they kept singing to ask the bride to come out to serve tea. They sang:
Don't be busy making tea for the bride, turn your head and squint at the groom;
Look at the groom's good pattern, and add a champion next year.
Everyone shouted "Good!" , voice did not fall, someone sings:
The bride is wearing colorful flowers, please come to the hall to serve tea;
Everyone has tea to congratulate. The groom is your father and you are your mother!
The bride hasn't come out yet, waiting for someone to drink tea in the hall, so she dares to sing:
Don't get hurt when your daughter-in-law comes, but please don't come if you invite three or four;
The groom waited for your feet to swell and ran into the fire to carry you.
In the loud singing and jubilant atmosphere, two women who married the bride came out with her, entered the hall from the crowd and poured sugar tea into the cups on the table. At this time, the people who make trouble in the bridal chamber loudly sang songs praising the bride and groom, praising them as "talented women with talented people", "scholars with butlers", "a good wife and a good mother are as soon as possible" and "husband and wife love each other forever", and some even sang about making trouble in the bridal chamber and having tea. The content of singing is elegant and polite, full of poetry, and it is rare to see rough, vulgar, vulgar and slapstick phenomena. In this joyful and festive atmosphere, the bride and groom presented sugar tea to the guests with red painted square tea trays and cups of sugar tea.
There are very strict traditional tea rules for eating sugar tea in the bridal chamber. Whoever wants to get the rich gifts and hospitality of the bride and groom must sing colorful words or congratulations in four words and eight sentences. Anyone who is good at singing "Four Words and Eighty Days" will receive special courtesy. You can also praise or invite the bride and groom to toast and fruit after eating sugar tea, and wash your face with the bride's new towel as a guest of honor. If the bride and groom don't pass by you holding a tea tray and call you "tea", you will only ask them to call you "uncle" in the name of their future children, or ask your aunt and aunt to invite you to tea, and he (she) is shy and won't call. In this way, you will be respected. Therefore, people who can't talk in a few words rarely drink sugar tea in the bridal chamber. This rule makes many young men and women, especially young men, learn a few songs about Lang no matter how stupid they are when they are young, otherwise they will be laughed at. Some people are intelligent and quick-thinking, and when they see a few dozen, they are eloquent and amazing. Even in peacetime, it is highly respected by the villagers. When the red candle shines in the drawing room and the candle shines in the bridal chamber, the singer will take advantage of it and sing a reasonable and appropriate congratulatory message. Freely then sings:
Red candle lights illuminate the flower room, firecrackers celebrate songs,
Spend a full moon in the bridal chamber, spend a candle night, four words and eight sentences of He Xinlang.
When the bride and groom brought him sugar tea with a red lacquer tea tray, he sang again:
Don't panic when the bride serves tea, put less tea and more sugar;
Tonight, hospitality is good, and wisdom and shrewdness spread everywhere.
After singing, others will also compete to offer songs to congratulate each other so that they can have tea early. The bride and groom congratulated Miao Yan and thanked the visitors who made trouble in the new house. They will never leave at will, and they will definitely invite guests for tea. Moreover, they shouted loudly that their uncle or uncle would invite him to tea, and their future children would call him that. At this time, the guests took the sugar tea in their hands and sang again:
Put the sugar tea in the dish and drink it with both hands.
Drink sugar tea, sweetheart, and congratulate the couple on getting married early.
Guests are not satisfied with the first cup of tea, but also want to embarrass the bride and groom, holding empty cups in both hands, not on the tea tray, chanting loudly:
A cup of sweet tea makes you think more.
There are two balls in the pot and flowers in the cup.
At this time, the bride and groom will hold a second cup of tea to the guests. If the guest drinks the sugar tea, he wants to play a trick on the bride and groom, and then he sings loudly:
I want to smoke after drinking sugar tea. The tea is sweet and fragrant.
Red flowers with green leaves make the icing on the cake fresher.
A pair of sugar tea is all the gifts. However, when the topic of the guests changed, it was disrespectful for the bride and groom to leave at will amid praise. At this time, the two handed the cigarettes to the guests in the noisy room respectfully and politely, and shouted: "Uncle, please have a happy cigarette!" " "The guest took the cigarette and sang happily:
I like to smoke new cigarettes and compete with living gods.
It rains in dog days, so we can get together in May.
The man who made trouble in the bridal chamber took a cigarette, but he didn't bring a light. He asked the bride to take a matchbox, the groom lit it with a match, and then both of them lit cigarettes for the man who made trouble in the bridal chamber to smoke. Then export praised:
Sugar is sweet, cigarettes are fragrant, osmanthus and honey are mixed together,
Qi Mei has a long history of loving husband and wife.
The Song of Serving Tea in the bridal chamber is elegant and subtle, humorous and witty, which has attracted a house full of guests to burst into laughter and cheer warmly. Every poem was sung, and everyone shouted "Good!" After the bride and groom drink sugar tea for the guests who come to make trouble in the bridal chamber, the teacup can be removed and the bride can leave.
When the bride left the hall, the handyman immediately brought all the fruits, dishes and wine brought by the noisy new house and put them on the table of the Eight Immortals. At this time, two young people accompanying the groom accompanied him to the table, and the groom sat in the middle. During the dinner, an elderly emcee stood up and read the words. Master of ceremonies Yin, accompany the groom to accompany Langke, immediately sang:
A chair with nine dragons, how much work a carpenter does,
The groom will come to sit tonight, just like the prime minister sitting in the court.
When everyone shouted "OK!" Later, another person who sang with Lang came again:
The groom is admitted to the college tonight, and in the middle of the month, Dangui matches Chang 'e;
Couples sing for a long time, and the mating of mandarin ducks is always harmonious.
People sitting around the table poured good wine from the first chair at the table, and everyone raised their glasses to propose a toast to the groom. At this time, there are congratulations everywhere, wine songs are flying, three glasses of wine are drunk, the people who make trouble in the bridal chamber take turns to propose a toast to the groom, and sometimes the bride comes up to propose a toast to the groom. At this point, the bridal chamber reached its climax, and the toast became more and more beautiful. The lyrics sang:
A pair of five-color wine bottles, a glass of wine, He Xinlang.
The groom drank this cup of wine and gave birth to his son early.
In March, peaches and plums bloom all over the garden, and the spring breeze blows off two branches.
Today, I planted the heart of the East Garden and the plum of the West Garden in one place.
The silver hip flask is shiny, and the silver cup is filled with wine to toast the couple.
When two people drink a glass of wine together, their white hair will never part.
While drinking with the groom, everyone sang to congratulate him. When there are four glasses of wine, the assistant ministers on both sides will propose a pair or four glasses to the groom. When everyone was discussing how to propose a toast to the groom, the groom politely declined. At this time, someone will sing a toast song loudly:
A glass of wine smells fragrant, holding a toast to the groom in both hands;
The groom drank this glass of wine and thought of his wife and mother.
Give the groom two glasses of wine, and I advise putting a lot of glasses;
Wine helps heroes out, and everything goes well in the family business.
Three glasses of wine to the groom, and the groom drinks happily;
Raise a glass and drink three glasses of wine to get your son into school early.
Give the groom four glasses of wine, and the four seasons are rich and auspicious;
The groom drank four glasses of wine, and the spring breeze was proud.
Five cups of wine are fragrant and fragrant, and they are held in their hands to respect the groom;
Drink this glass of wine and send you to the bridal chamber early.
Everyone took advantage of joy and moved, He Lang sang one song after another, drank one cup after another, and drank ten cups. Some people continue to sing and toast:
Add another pair after drinking ten cups, but try to fill them with gold cups.
Tonight's wedding night will be a good time to talk to each other.
Advise the groom to drink another pair, and the cup will be drunk;
Yuanyang's neck is full of joy, giving birth to the first scholar Lang early.
"toast song" is mostly improvised. Anyone who participates in drinking with the groom in the flower room will output songs to make the flower room full of vitality and joy. After drinking ten glasses of wine with the groom, a dozen people accompanying Lang's bridal chamber carried a basket with a pot of good wine and three cups inside, and set off firecrackers to send the groom into the bridal chamber. Go with Lang and sing together:
"Spring Breeze" attracted Lang all the way, but Lang's door was not opened.
Please throw the key to the bride.
Everyone sang and pushed the groom into the bridal chamber. First, they poured three glasses of wine in front of the bed to pay tribute to their in-laws, and then spilled three glasses of wine on the floor in front of the bed. Everyone sang songs that caused trouble in the house and gave the groom four drinks. Then, the host sang the lyrics:
To the east of the tent, the red brocade tent is in the spring breeze, and the dragon and phoenix will be born in the coming year, so we should take good care of it.
South of the tent, Chang 'e flies under the clouds. Today, the wedding night is like a phoenix.
Zhazhangxi and Rongmen, a good couple, were called Zhu Feng 500 years ago. Today they are in a good family.
Tie the hukou to the north, how happy Rongmen is tonight, a hundred-year-old husband and wife match, and have a baby early in the palace.
On hukou, a pair of mandarin ducks is no different;
In the tent, the couple celebrated today;
Now, IKEA Yi Shi is happy.
The account has been settled, the poem has been sung for weeks, and the fish and dragons are playing in the water to protect the future forever.
After the emcee who accompanied the bridal chamber read the song of setting up a tent, everyone said in unison, "Get a good sleep while it's early!" " Then exit the door. Then the woman who accompanied the bride also accompanied the bride to the door, gave the bride a lock on the door, pushed the bride into the room and closed the door, and the wedding ceremony was over.

The main reason is closely related to free marriage. This form of joy is consistent with people's pursuit of happiness. Now, except that He Lang songs are used less than in the past, the procedure of making a new house is much more interesting and lively than in the past!
