On the day following IL Chinese we'd
ding, at least in certain provinces, the
brides youngest brother goes to inquire
after her and to take Il present from her
mother Of bottle of hair oil. This is
q custom 50 ancient that none knows the
origin thereof.
No further communications take place
between tho bride and hcr family for
three months, when her mother sends a
sedan chair and an invitation to visit
her. If there has been neither birth
nor death il her husband S or in her
mothers house for 700 days, she goes
and makes short stay at her old home.
This visit over, She cannot see her
mother again until after her first child
is born, and not then should the child
be girl. Even then, if there has been
a death in either family, the visit can
not be made, and there have been many
instances where mother and daughter
living very near each other have not
met for years.
