This custom continues in Xianning. Both men and women choose an auspicious day, and the matchmaker takes the southern son to the woman's house. The woman's parents drew up a list of five or six uncles, seven aunts and eight aunts, and the man's family prepared the "four gifts", and the woman's elders and matchmakers led them in one by one. In Xianning rural areas, it is usually the day before marriage. The man sends people, usually the matchmaker, son-in-law and the man's uncles and uncles, to deliver gifts, clothes, tables and drinks to the woman's house after daily consultation. The woman's house hosted a banquet for the man. After lunch, the man and his party hurried home. If the woman is far away in Xianning, she can't return that day, and there is also the custom of staying at the woman's house for the night and marrying the bride the next day.
