The team set out from Binhai County and entered a hidden mountain road.
After walking for a while, Jiang Hai, who was riding on a white horse, found that there were many poles erected on both sides of the mountain road, and their wedding posters were hung on them.
Use a small horizontal bar on each pole, hang a poster on each side, and then fix it with another horizontal bar below.
Oh my god, why does this look so much like a telephone pole advertisement? Jiang Hai discovered that it’s not just a resemblance, it’s exactly like it.
There are two pages of posters on each pole. One page is their wedding poster, and the other page is a store advertisement, such as [Soft Girl Malatang], [Wen Ji BBQ], and [Five Big Shaobing] also joined in the fun.
Okay, Huang Haitang is really good at this. Jiang Hai couldn't help but admire this old man. He had only mentioned the advertising and marketing concept to him before, but now he was using it to make money after getting married.
Cai'er was sitting in front of the carriage and was very curious about the scene.
"Miss, look, there are a lot of your paintings hanging there."
Upon hearing the sound, Yuchi Ziling pulled aside the carriage curtain and took a look. It was true. She didn't even know when someone had painted her in, and the painting was so lifelike.
But, in the painting, aren't they a little too close to Jiang Hai? They're almost kissing, which is really embarrassing. Yuchi Ziling's face flushed as she lowered the curtain and sat upright.
Well, as long as you don’t look at it, you won’t feel embarrassed.
The team marched for about an hour and arrived at the East City Gate.
The city gate was decorated in bright red, with large posters hanging on either side. There was also a large red "囍" character. Next to it were inscribed: "Congratulations, Young Master, on your happy marriage, and may your marriage be harmonious and harmonious" and "Wishing you a happy marriage every year."
"Puff." Jiang Hai burst into a breath of joy. What the hell, "Every year has this day, every year has this day", I wonder who came up with this idea.
Jiang Hai approached the carriage and said to Yuchi Ziling slyly,
"My lady, please take a look at the blessing."
Upon hearing this, Yuchi Ziling lifted the carriage curtain and took a look. She almost choked, glanced at Jiang Hai, and hid back in the carriage.
After entering the city, the whole city was filled with joy. Firecrackers were crackling on both sides of the street, and red firecracker confetti was flying in the sky. The team had to stop and wait for a while.
These firecrackers are a specialty of Xincheng, produced by the Military Camp Research Institute. They are controlled and only sold locally in Xincheng. The production method has not yet been made public. It seems that the military camp has been busy this time and produced so many of them.
Jiang Hai couldn't help but feel a headache. This marriage was like a war. From the moment the team entered the city to Jiang's house, they had to travel through smoke and the smell was so choking.
Fortunately, the Jiang Mansion is in the east of the city, so the journey won't take too long. If it were in the west, setting off firecrackers like this would definitely delay the auspicious time.
Hong'er, sitting in the front of the carriage with Cai'er, was stunned by the spectacle and even startled by the firecrackers at first. This was too much! It was a world of difference compared to Binhai County outside.
No wonder Cai'er had said she'd know today. She hadn't known how to describe this new city. The roads, the buildings, the shops, the welcoming people, their brightly colored clothes, and the grand wedding procession—every single thing had deeply moved Hong'er.
"Cai'er, what is that crackling sound?" Hong'er asked weakly.
"Brother Wenzhi, what is this called?" Cai'er asked Wenzhi who was driving. It was also the first time for her to see it, but she was quite calm. She had seen cannons, and these were just side dishes.
"Firecrackers, the young master said they are called firecrackers." Wenzhi said.
"Oh, yes, it sounds a bit like firecrackers." Cai'er nodded to Hong'er in understanding, "You heard it, firecrackers."
…
Soon after, the convoy arrived at the gate of Jiang Mansion. The banquet of Jiang Mansion was set up at the door, and Liuzi came to greet them with a smile.
Jiang Hai dismounted the white horse and handed the rope to Liu Zi, then went to the carriage to help Yuchi Ziling get off. Jiang Hai stretched out his hand beside the carriage and said, "Come down, I'll help you."
Yuchi Ziling got out of the carriage, half-covering her face with a folding fan. She tilted her head slightly to glance at the ground, a little puzzled, "Don't we need to turn the seats?"
At this time, when the bride gets out of the carriage, her feet must not touch the ground, as this is a taboo. Hence the saying "turning the mats." If the road is long and the mats are short, the felt mat at the back must be moved to the front, and this process is repeated until the wedding ceremony is held in the Qinglu.
Now, at the Jiang Mansion, the felt mats on the ground have been laid out along the road for a long time, without even a gap.
"No need, our seats are longer than the road, let's just go." Jiang Hai calmly helped her out of the car. But seeing her covering her face with the folding fan always made Jiang Hai feel particularly awkward. Every time he saw it, he felt like she was swearing at him.
At this moment, the high-pitched chant of the ceremonial officer could be heard from inside: "The auspicious time has arrived, welcome the bride and groom into the mansion!"
A large group of children ran out from the door. The boys and girls in the lead clapped their hands and recited nursery rhymes, while the children behind them played and scattered flower petals and grains.
The phrase "a hundred sons welcoming the bride" symbolizes the couple's prosperity and prosperity after marriage. This part was something Jiang Xiuyuan insisted on; it absolutely had to happen. He only had Jiang Hai, and he had long yearned for a grandson.
Entering the gate and stepping over the saddle means that the newlyweds will live a peaceful life in the future.
"O Phoenix, O Phoenix, return to your homeland, and wander the world in search of your mate.
The green mountains in the distance lead to the flowers, and the fragrance of the flowers still lingers in my mind.
Phoenix, please come and live with me. I only wish that we will never leave each other until we are old.
The clear blue water pond is filled with the moonlight, reflecting the heaven and earth."
The ceremonial officer sang loudly, his words flowing with witty wit. Jiang Hai and his companions followed the children who were welcoming the bride, following the flower-covered path toward the courtyard of the palace.
The wedding pavilion was built in a lucky spot in the southwest of the courtyard.
These etiquettes all followed the customs of the capital, and were actually much simpler and less complex in Southern Xinjiang. However, Xiaoma Siqin still made thorough arrangements, demonstrating her considerable importance.
A group of guests were already waiting around the Qinglu to watch the newlyweds get married. It was very lively and everyone was laughing and talking happily.
After entering the Qinglu, several rituals were required: the Wojian ceremony, which involved washing hands and removing dust; the Tonglao ceremony, which involved eating meat together in public; and the Heqin ceremony, which involved drinking from the wedding cup.
Jiang Hai was very tired, but when he thought about the rare opportunity of traveling through time and space to hold an ancient wedding, he thought it was a good idea.
"Newcomers, please stand up." The ceremonial officer continued,
"A thousand miles of marriage are tied together by a thread,
…………”
Another long speech followed, followed by worshipping heaven and earth, the guests, the parents, and finally each other. Fortunately, in this era, worshipping did not require kneeling, but bowing, otherwise Jiang Hai would have been spitting out bad words.
After the ceremony, Jiang Hai thought it was finally over, but the ceremony officer continued,
"Since we have a good relationship in this life, let's join hands and don't take it lightly.
…………”
It’s not over yet. Jiang Hai has been keeping a smile on his face for so long that his face is almost cramping. If it weren’t for the wrong occasion, he would definitely put on a bitter face.
