Jingmen, Yingcheng, Xianning and other places generally adopt this wedding custom, and the red envelope sealing methods in these places are also different. On the wedding day, the stylist who helps the bride go out to dress up should pay for dressing up, the uncle should pay for hard work, foot lifting, bridge crossing, tobacco and alcohol, the groom's care, change, the matchmaker's money and so on. The red envelopes for these people are called scattered red envelopes. In fact, red envelopes are just a beautiful implication and a good omen. Most of the money in it is homophonic numbers, in order to make yourself feel happy.
