August 8, 2013, the year of Gui Si, the month of Geng Shen, the day of Bing Wu.

Suitable activities include: getting married, traveling, praying for blessings, setting up a bed, offering sacrifices, and praying for a child.

At dawn, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, the newlywed Jiang Xia, wearing a scholar's hat and a custom-made cloud-shoulder robe with long sleeves and a python pattern, the dark red and black colors of the robe exuding a magnificent and noble air.

The bottom of the cloud-shaped shoulder and sleeves is embroidered with patterns of sea and cliff, auspicious clouds, jade gourds, and fire pearls to symbolize good fortune and longevity. The hidden pattern is a combination of copper coins and bats, forming a pattern of four bats holding up the symbols of fortune, prosperity, and longevity. The red bats are called "red bats," which sounds like "great fortune."

The dragon pattern on the shoulder is beautiful and vigorous, as if it is galloping in the clouds and waves of distant mountains and seas, welcoming the rising sun and the fiery pearl, which symbolizes the sun. Below is the surging sea, and the fireball leaps out of the sea, which symbolizes the sunrise in the east and the azure dragon in the east.

As the saying goes, Zongzhi, a handsome and dashing young man, raises his cup and rolls his eyes at the blue sky, as radiant as a jade tree standing in the wind.

Xia Shanshan personally pinned a red flower on her son's chest; this was called "wearing a red cloak."

Surrounded by many others dressed in Hanfu, Jiang Wende, also dressed in Hanfu, loudly recited the ancestral document of his great-grandfather towards a ancestral tablet inscribed with "Heaven, Earth, Ruler, Parents, Teacher," a ritual performed to inform the ancestral temple.

"...Today, in Wanxian, the mountain city, Mr. Lin Gaoyuan and Miss Ji Wanqiu's daughter, Lin Yanwan, and her foolish son, Jiangxia, are to be married for a hundred years. We have chosen tomorrow as an auspicious day for their wedding. On this auspicious occasion, we respectfully present this humble gift. We humbly beseech our ancestors to rejoice on this day, with the three stars shining upon our home and the candles glowing brightly. We wish the newlyweds a long and happy life together, living in harmony and mutual respect. We respectfully beseech our ancestors to silently protect and bless their ancestors, so that they may be free from illness, disaster, decline, prosperity, and bring glory to their lineage. We humbly accept this blessing to express our loyalty."

Before the words were finished, the hymn was sung, and Shen Ying and her parents bowed to their ancestors.

"Of course, he also saw how much money he spent. He got a villa in the capital just like that, so how much baby formula would he have to buy?"

When the bride returns to her home, she must scatter grains to ward off evil spirits, leave the bridal chamber, step over a fire basin, tread on gold bricks, and meet her parents.

"How cute! Mr. Jiang has no talent, no looks, and no money. How did you end up with such a terrible girlfriend? By the way, you're a woman too."

Other animation projects outside the company are also progressing steadily but in an disorderly manner. Digimon has entered a low ebb in the battle against Devimon, and Cardcaptor Sakura, led by Luo Peng, has also entered the formal production stage and is expected to meet the audience soon.

Anyway, without Lin Yanwan and Gan Qi as the right and left arms supporting the company, it's the same whether I'm the boss or not.

"Hmm?" Gan Qi responded groggily.

How can we make an effort?

Another half month passed, and Shen Ying and Li Weiya appeared in Xiaoli. The two stayed in a guesthouse far from Erhai Lake for a month, exploring all the surrounding mountains and rivers.

"Hehe?"

Gan Qi rode a small horse with its head down, followed by a small red sedan chair. Relatives and friends held up signs with the characters "Welcoming the Bride" and "Double Happiness," and there were eighteen pairs of musicians. Music and ceremonies continued all the way.

"Absolutely gorgeous!"

"Two jars of fine wine!"

"Honey, are you satisfied with that wedding?"

The main stage is an ancient stage built a century ago outside the garden. Guests lingered for a while, led by staff, and walked through the garden's connecting corridors and paths. They were amazed by the luxurious scene set up behind them.

"Eight silver platters!"

"Zhou Lu, what about him?" Gan Qijia smiled and turned her gaze to you.

Inside the courtyard, Shen Ying stood respectfully behind her father-in-law, holding the marriage certificate. Apart from this, there was no other betrothal gift.

"As beautiful as the autumn moon."

If President Jiang's red envelopes are all small, the highest amount is probably 100 yuan. Considering that bad things often happen in pairs, it's probably starting at 200 yuan. So, if all those red envelopes are added together, it probably wouldn't be worth tens of thousands of yuan, right?

As soon as he finished speaking, the groom, wearing a scholar's hat and a robe with cloud-shaped shoulder caps and long sleeves, stepped forward and bowed to the guests.

"One bow to Heaven and Earth to bestow a good marriage, seven bows to the hall to report the spring sunshine, husband and wife bow to each other to be of one heart forever."

Shen Ying took out a small handful of red envelopes that she had prepared beforehand and teased her sister-in-law: "How about he uses idioms to describe it, and if he says one word, your brother-in-law will give you a red envelope?"

Li Weiya's pretty face flushed, and as she recalled the more formal moments of the wedding, her heart was still beating calmly.

"A moment of spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold, how can he possibly strive for it?"

"You too, being younger, you take a more detached view of relationships between men and women, and think that being alone is pretty bad."

On this auspicious day, accompanied by the playing of a classical band, Wang Ming, dressed in a round-necked robe, appeared on stage holding a jade tablet and bowed deeply.

It symbolizes that the two people are bound together as husband and wife, but will be separated forever.

"You're quite beautiful?"

The wedding started off with a bang, leaving everyone amazed. On the D-site livestream, no one suddenly recognized the emcee as a self-proclaimed scholar of traditional Chinese culture; no wonder he spoke eloquently yet possessed an ordinary demeanor.

Of course, if the scale is that small, Gan Qi will still compare Jiang Xia with Shen Ying. If you don't have that much money, you should buy a luxury car or another house.

Witnessing this event, many guests were truly amazed, realizing that traditional Chinese weddings actually involve quite a few intricacies. In contrast, Western weddings may lack formality, but they are rich in substance.

It must be from a past life; the two lines might have meant a positive COVID-19 test, but right now there's no result yet!

"Millions? Tens of millions!"

Many guests simultaneously took out their phones to take pictures, and DiliDili even started a live stream. On the day of the boss's joy, the whole world should celebrate.

The result was that all of them showed two lines!

Xu Shao and the others watching the silence were all shocked. Considering President Jiang's image, if those betrothal gifts were genuine and of great significance, then they would be truly remarkable.

The waiter then prepared a feast, displaying meat from eight kinds of animals, grains from seven kinds of grains, and a bottle of fine wine.
