What's the point of making a bed in Yangzhou?

This is from Nanjing, referring to the preface to the custom of making beds. According to the custom of Nanjing, the wedding bed of the new house needs special care. To this end, Rourou's mother specially found Rourou's aunt who was far away from home, and came from home early today to help Rourou make the bed. Let's talk about the custom of making the bed. About the custom of making the bed About the custom of making the bed, generally speaking, before the couple get married, the woman needs to buy some quilts, and at the same time, she can find someone to make the bedding together. I also pay attention to details. In short, it is a good sign to bring blessings to the newcomers. About the person who makes the bed For the person who makes the bed, not everyone is competent. It's best to find a lucky woman. By lucky, I mean having a high school, having children, living a carefree life, being healthy and so on. Choosing such a person to make the bed will bring good luck to the couple. Therefore, Rourou's mother specially called her Aunt Rourou. Her parents are alive and their children and grandchildren are full, and they are absolutely qualified for the task of making the bed. Today, it's time to make the bed. Mama Rourou asked Rourou to bring her aunt to make the bed. At first, Rourou felt very strange. In my impression, bedding is usually laid on the day before the wedding. However, according to Rourou's mother, it is ok to advance 1-3 days, and today is the sixth day of the fifth lunar month, which is a double day, which is more auspicious. Therefore, Mrs. Rourou and Aunt Rourou both think it's best to make the bed today. According to the traditional custom, when a girl gets married, she should buy some quilts at home, and then sew them with the most traditional quilt cover and needle and thread. There are also many stresses on needlework, for example, it is best to use red thread, and the whole quilt should be sewn to the end with one thread, which cannot be broken or knotted. Preparing the sewn quilt should be the first step in making the bed. However, as Rourou said before, it is much easier for Rourou's aunt to tidy up the quilts today because the quilts at home are all made by meat LPP. Like now, many mm don't necessarily buy quilts when they get married. Just buy a few cash beds, which is not as complicated as sewing quilts. Regarding the emphasis on making the bed, the quilt and other items that need to be laid on the wedding bed are still particular, mainly for a good meaning. For the items to be placed, it is best to have even numbers, indicating pairs. For example, you need to put two pillows and two quilts. If you have a pillow, you need to put a pair. But now many bedding will be equipped with a single small head pillow, also known as the offspring pillow, as long as one is enough. You can also put a pair of bed-pressing dolls on the wedding bed without looking for a little boy to press the bed. In addition, Rourou's aunt specially prepared red dates and peanuts to put on the bed, which means to have children early, O(∩_∩)O haha ~. It is said that when Sister Rourou got married, longan, red dates, peanuts and lotus seeds were put on the bed, which meant the same thing. There are a few other precautions that need to be reminded. First, the paved bedding must be brand-new and can't be washed. Sometimes the newly bought bedding may be folded unevenly. Then you can iron it with a steam iron in advance, but don't clean it. Some MM will think that the unwashed sheets are quilt covers, and they may feel uncomfortable falling asleep on the wedding day. It doesn't really matter. Just put on clean bedding when you sleep at night.
