The story of the rat marrying a girl.

The first day, the second scene, the third mouse marries the bride, this is a ballad about the New Year. Let's share the story of the rat marrying the bride. "The third rat marries the bride" is a very interesting folk legend; the old people say that the third night of the new year is the day when the rat marries the bride. Every family has to get up early, go to bed early, and every household has to remove salt and rice and fried sesame candy in the corner of the house to give them, commonly known as "rat money". It is the candy prepared for the rats to get married, to ensure a safe and auspicious coming year. There are four versions of the story, "The Origin of the Zodiac", which says that the Jade Emperor sent a cat to inform the bull and tiger and other beasts to go to heaven to rank in the sky. After the mouse overheard the cat's message, he took the lead, and the confused Jade Emperor named him the head of the zodiac. The cat was squeezed out of the zodiac and has since formed a deep enmity with the rat. The mouse wanted to settle the grudge with the cat, so he asked the wolf (weasel) to be a matchmaker, and promised his most beautiful daughter to the cat, and the cat agreed. So the mouse chose an auspicious date, stole a child's tiger head shoes to fill the sedan chair, and sent the girl to the cat's nest. As a result, the mouse married a girl and married into the belly of the cat. "The Rat Marries the Girl" said: The Rat King chose to marry the girl on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month. On the day of the happy event, the world was busy with New Year's goods, and people were grinding and making trouble. The Rat King was furious: "People make trouble with me for a day, and I make trouble for a year!" People suffered a big loss, so they were not allowed to grind and grind on the rat wedding day...... Version three According to legend, a long time ago, on the night of the eighth day of the first lunar month, the mouse girl got married. I saw that the lanterns were colorful, the candles were shining, the mouse bride wore emerald flowers on her head, sat in a sedan chair in new clothes, carried by four mice, and the groom was also accompanied by the prime minister, leading the way. Welcoming relatives and sending off women, hugging before and after, gongs and drums are noisy, suona singing, so lively! Just when everyone was laughing and laughing, and the cups were staggered to congratulate the bride and groom, the groom took advantage of the fact that people were not paying attention to steal the food. When the guard's cat saw it, he immediately stepped forward to grab the mouse. The bridegroom shouted for help, and everyone calmed down when they found out that the mouse groom had become a captive under the cat's paws. I went to the rat official to complain. The rat officer thinks that it is wrong for the cat to do this and asks to let the groom go. The cat was not convinced, and the two sides sued the county magistrate again. After listening to the statements of the plaintiff and the defendant, the county magistrate thought that it was hateful for rats to steal food, but they should be tolerated because they only once in their lives on their happy day. The cat does this, which is a bit unreasonable, so asks to let go of the mouse. Just as the verdict was announced, the mouse groom bit the table skirt on the county master's case again. When the county magistrate saw it, he was furious: "Bastard thing, it's really hard to change your nature!" The sentence was commuted: "The rat was caught, and the crime deserved; Cats eat mice, eliminate harm for the people, it is justified, forever! Since then, cats eat mice and it is justified."
