Before leaving, Uncle Huang suddenly remembered something.
He seriously said, "After the beam-raising ceremony, the house cannot be left empty, and since you two are getting married soon, Zheng Hong, you should stay in the new house tonight."
Tan Zhenghong was completely sober now. Did this mean that he could not live with his wife anymore?
Before he could speak, Sun Erhu asked, "They're already married, isn't it alright for them to sleep together in the new house?"
"According to traditions, the two parties should not see each other before getting married. Besides, if they live together, what about the bridal procession when picking up the bride?"
Aunt Huang explained a bit, so the best solution was for Qiao Duo'er to marry from the old house into the new one.
It seemed to make sense when put that way. The bride is supposed to be carried in a bridal sedan chair. If they were both in the new house, wouldn't the sedan chair be unnecessary?
