At home, one bids farewell to one's parents, offers tea, and then gets into the sedan chair.
She had no brothers; it was her brother-in-law who carried her to the sedan chair.
The sedan chair carried by eight men was the openwork kind.
Walking down the street, you hear all sorts of vendors calling out their wares, and friends and family are lining both sides of the street.
It must be said that everyone's ancient costumes are particularly beautiful.
"Oh, this is the second young lady of the Yun family. She's really beautiful."
"The second young master of the Bai family in Qingcheng and the second young lady of the Yun family are truly a perfect match."
"The bride is so beautiful."
"Young Master Bai is my dream lover."
Yun Shudai almost burst out laughing, not knowing which girl had said that.
The guests were so engrossed, showering the guests with compliments the whole way.
As we approached the Bai residence, music suddenly began to play, its sound echoing in the vast emptiness.
First came the sound of several children singing: "On the Lantern Festival, we invite the fairy maiden to the garden, where she dances gracefully."
After a couple of sentences, a very pleasant male emcee's voice came through.
The magnificent land of China, with its long and rich history, the Three Books and Six Rites, the grand national spirit, the peaceful and prosperous era, the glorious achievements, the drums of war, the auspicious wind and bamboo, the Qin-Jin alliance, may it prosper for five generations... Today, on the Bingxu day of the Ding Si month in the late spring of the Gui Mao year, the son of the Bai family of Qingcheng and the daughter of the Yun family, in this tranquil place, forge a golden alliance, and sincerely invite guests from all over the world to celebrate this auspicious union.
Weddings, the foundation of human relations, have been cherished throughout history. Today, at our wedding ceremony, the two newlyweds will uphold ancestral traditions, continue this glorious chapter, don their finest attire, and perform Han Dynasty rituals, thus reviving the magnificent clothing and traditions of our Chinese people and promoting the elegant demeanor of our nation...
Upon arriving at the Bai residence, Bai Muyin dismounted and went to the sedan chair. Yao Jie gave Bai Muyin a red silk ribbon and gave one end to the bride. The two of them each held one end and walked forward.
As they approached the stage, the emcee announced: "The auspicious time has arrived. Please invite the attendants to light the lamps, and the bride and groom to enter the ceremony."
As she entered, Yun Shudai held fans in both hands, her hands sweating with nervousness.
When they got to the stage, Yun Shudai suddenly noticed that Bai Muyin's hand was rubbing his sleeve.
He was nervous about the relationship too.
Throughout the wedding, they didn't need to say much; they just followed the emcee's rhythm.
Their witness was Professor Liang.
Professor Liang is dressed in official robes today. Last night, I heard from Aunt Liang that Professor Liang is a minor official in the Ministry of Rites.
He went on stage and read a wedding vow, his voice strong and clear. It must be said, coming from a professor, it was truly something else: "From this day forward, may you, my beloved husband and wife, cherish each other, be bound together by love, reflect each other's hearts, and be of one blood. The preciousness of marriage lies not in the sweetness of romantic moments under the moon, but in the unwavering support that melts away hardship and illness... May we be together, safe and content, and live in peace. Can we hold on to this?"
On stage, the two of them couldn't laugh, and their posture couldn't be relaxed. The most they did was bow, and then they served tea to their parents-in-law.
The wedding lasted for more than an hour.
After the match, even though it was still very cold, she was covered in sweat.
Bai Muyin felt sorry for him and said, "Change your clothes and rest for a while. It will be even more tiring when you're toasting."
Mili, who was standing nearby, said, "Don't worry, Brother Bai, we'll be there when you're toasting, and we'll help you fend off the toasts."
Bai Muyin clasped his hands in a gesture of gratitude.
This toasting is not something that can be replaced by something else.
However, He Qingyi and the other groomsmen came up with an idea.
The bottle was filled with a lot of water, about 1:10.
After all, there are so many guests; one table of guests could drink themselves to death.
There are at least a thousand people here today.
Yun Shudai first paid respects to her maternal family.
There were five tables at her maternal family's house, all occupied by uncles and elders, and none of them made things difficult for Bai Muyin.
Next up is my mother-in-law's house.
First came the relatives. The Bai family doesn't have many relatives, so there were three tables.
She had never met him before; Mu Yin said they didn't usually keep in touch.
The two tables at Uncle Bai's side were more low-key, filled with people from the political arena.
Still in the private room.
My second uncle was dressed in a traditional men's outfit today, and he had a slight beer belly. But I must say, he looked quite good in that hat.
These big shots seemed to be enjoying themselves, dressed very elegantly, with their accessories being particularly well-chosen.
Sure enough, when people are having fun, they don't care about their previous status; the main thing is to have fun.
