Three days after the wedding, commonly known as "Three Dynasties". It is when the newlyweds cook their first breakfast on the stove. This is the moment to witness whether the new daughter-in-law is virtuous or not.
Today is also the day when the bride "returns to the house". Returning to the door is also called "Guining", which means returning to the mother's home to report to the parents that they are safe, and it is a relatively important link after the wedding. After returning to the door, the entire wedding ceremony is complete.
[1] "Three Poems for the Newlywed Wife" by Wang Jian.
The neighbors are unknown, sitting on the bed;
Lang came to the door, asking for money.
The two sides of the brocade curtain are horizontal to cover the maidservants;
Send a man to spread a mat, and pay homage to his family.
Go to the kitchen for three days, wash your hands and make soup;
If you don't know the nature of aunt's food, send your sister-in-law to taste it first.
At Yinshi, Mei Fei'er woke up.
She pushed the sleeping groom next to her, and Han Wo snorted, and said coquettishly, "It's still early, I'll sleep a little longer~"
In fact, Mei Fei'er didn't want to get up, and there was no place as fragrant as the bed in spring. She closed her eyes again, recalling the interesting events of the past few days, and couldn't help but feel happy in her heart.
At this time, the third cock crowed one after another.
Looking at her husband who was snoring soundly, the naughty Fei'er pinched his nose, trying to wake him up.
Han Wo turned over and muttered, "What are you doing~"
"You have to get up now! You forgot, what day is today?"
"What day?"
"Today is 'three days', the day I return home."
"Just go back!"
"You won't see me off?"
"Send it~"
"Send, are you still awake?"
"You didn't wake up either."
"Today the husband must get up first, and then he has to get out of bed to open the door."
Han Wo turned around, looked at Fei'er and asked, "What's the point?"
"It's not a reason, it's a custom."
"What custom, you have to ask your husband to open the door for you?"
"This showsII don't want to leave my husband's house~"
Han Wo smiled and stood up, "So, I have to wear today's clothes myself?"
Fei'er nodded to him, smiling beautifully.
Han Wo joked while getting dressed: "Let me get up first, then drag you out of the bed, open the door, and push you out"
Fei'er smiled and said, "Tui, there is no need, I will go by myself."
"Why does it feel weird?"
"What's wrong?"
"There is always a feeling that I want to drive you away."
"You don't want to drive me away?"
"How willing!"
"Hmph, even if you kick me out, I won't leave!"
"Why are you so rambunctious?"
"Who told you to marry me in! Once I enter your house, I will be your family member. You will never send me back in this life!"
"What if my uncle comes to pick me up?"
"That's another matter."
Han Wo got out of bed and opened the door, "Okay, the door is open, get up!"
"You go out first~ I haven't got any clothes on yet~"
Han Wo smiled and walked out of the room, "What kind of customs are these!"
Fei'er got up, washed up, and hurried to the kitchen.
"Washing hands to make soup" means that the new daughter-in-law will start her life in her husband's house with her own hands.
Every new daughter-in-law wants to make this first meal clean and crisp to win the favor of her mother-in-law. Mei Fei'er is no exception—however, what kind of food her mother-in-law likes is unknown to Fei'er.
A careless new daughter-in-law may think that she has cooked a good dish based on her own taste, but in fact her in-laws frown when they eat it.
But who is Mei Feier! She is a careful and intelligent girl. She wants to know her mother-in-law's taste in advance, so that she can be satisfied with the dishes that are served for the first time.
"If you don't know how to eat a girl's food, send your little girl to taste it first." What a clever, even a little cunning bride she is! She came up with a wonderful trick - let her sister-in-law try it first.

After breakfast, uncle Liu Ji also entered Han Wo's house.
After receiving three refreshments, Liu Ji retreated to his sister Mei Feier's new house to rest.
At noon, the Han family held a grand banquet, and?Liu Ji sits as the chief, which is called "meeting wine".
After the banquet, Liu Ji used a sedan chair to pick up the groom and the bride back to their natal home, which is commonly known as "Huimen".
On the way back to her mother's house, Mei Feier's mood was so smooth
[Female voice] "The blue sky in the mountains is empty, and the red plum blossoms all over the mountains are so beautiful."
[Male voice] "Hold your little hand and look at the blue sky together, the clouds will become your smiling face."
[Female voice] "Although plum blossoms are not as beautiful as roses, they are the strongest flower fairy in the mountains and fields." [Male voice] "Your coldness and arrogance are like a lonely plum, so straightforward, I want to protect you and accompany you."
[Accompaniment] "Plum blossoms make fun, make fun of, we met in the cold winter, even to the end of the world, even to the end of the world, we compose this poem together. Meeting in the mountains of Meihai, asking what love is, it connects people's hearts, and we will hold hands together forever."
At the end of the day, Liu Ji took Han Wofei'er back to her natal home.
At this time, when Han Wo visited Yuan Zhen and Luoluo, he wanted to change his uncle and aunt to father-in-law and mother-in-law.
At the time of application, Yuan Zhen's family had already prepared dinner. Why so early? According to the custom, you must return to your husband's house before sunset today, because "newly married people cannot empty their new house".
After eating her mother's meal, Fei'er hurriedly followed Han Wo back to her in-law's house.
Arriving at the gate, as soon as Mei Fei'er stepped out of the sedan chair, twenty or thirty benches among the guests who were fond of making troubles were laid in advance from the front of the sedan chair to the door of the new house, calling it "Xianxian Bridge".
The boys asked Han Wo to help Fei'er cross the "bridge".
The guests laughed and urged, and when they approached the door of the new house, they folded another bench on the stool at the "bridge head" and handed over an oil bag, asking Fei'er to bite the oil bag and walk through. "The carp jumps over the dragon's gate".
After passing the "Dragon Gate", Mei Fei'er was surrounded and entered the new house, sitting awkwardly by the bed.
Some young men who were not married were hiding in the new house, and when they saw Han Wo coming over, they blocked the door to prevent him from entering, asking for money all the time, asking for a happy money for auspiciousness.
Han Wo gave each of them a red envelope, and they skipped away, leaving the new house to the couple

Notes
[1] Wedding process
The third stage: the ceremony after marriage, which is the ceremony of "becoming a wife", "becoming a wife" or "becoming a son-in-law", which expresses the roles played by men and women after marriage.
(1) Return to the door in three dynasties
On the third day after the wedding, the bride, accompanied by her husband, returns to her natal home with gifts to worship her ancestors, and then returns to her husband's home with her husband.
In ancient times, the so-called marriage followed the husband, and the woman might not have the opportunity to return to her mother's home after she arrived at her husband's home. Therefore, "returning to the door" may be the last chance for a woman to set foot in her natal family, so her natal family attaches great importance to the wedding custom of returning to the door.
(2) Gifts to bring when returning home
One roasted pig, two boxes of western cakes, one pair of wine, two sticks of bamboo, one pair of chickens, lettuce, two baskets of raw fruit, two boxes of rice dumplings, two boxes of Yi noodles, two catties of chicken lantern gold, two catties of pork belly and pork.
Other gifts can be omitted according to the circumstances. But this "pair of roosters" is a must. It implies good luck and is a symbol of auspiciousness. Especially the rooster, with bright and colorful feathers. Moreover, the ancient rooster had the effect of warding off evil spirits. At that time, people usually believed that when a newly married woman returned to her natal family, it would bring bad luck to her natal family. Therefore, bringing a pair of roosters back to the natal family can just ward off evil spirits for the natal family, and it also heralds auspiciousness and wealth.
(3) Procedure for returning to the door
Get up three days after returning home to get married, and the groom must open the door.
On that day, the man prepared a palanquin to invite his uncle [big brother-in-law]. After receiving three refreshments, the uncle retreated to Amei's new house to rest.
For lunch, uncle is invited to sit at the head, which is called "meeting wine", and hairy crabs (my uncle jokingly called hairy crabs) are not allowed. After the banquet, the bridegroom is picked up in a sedan chair to accompany the bride back to her natal home, which is called "Huimen". Send a load of "Wang Niang Plate" with the sedan chair.
The parents-in-law's family banquet is for "the first-born son-in-law", and rock candy soft-shelled turtles are not allowed.
(4) full moon disk
Newly married, the parents-in-law's family sent someone to send a load of gifts, which is called "full moon plate". They also gave a number of gift certificates, ranging in amount, for the son-in-law's family to reward the wedding staff, commonly known as "flower laugh tickets".
In the old days, there was a huge disparity between the rich and the poor. The above mentioned are rich and middle-class families. As for the poor families, they cut a double happiness character on cardboard, pasted it on gold paper, hung it on the wall, a pair of flower candles, and a crappy sedan chair, and they got married.
