Chapter 474 The Grand Finale
The room door remained closed, and the bridesmaids all retreated back into the room.
This means that the test for the groom and his groomsmen is not over yet.
"What kind of trick is this now?" Wang Yanjun said with a helpless smile.
No sooner had the words left her mouth than Cheng Yiyi's voice came from inside the door:
"The next test has nothing to do with single people, bro, you can stand aside and watch the show."
Wang Yanjun was speechless.
"What's wrong with being single? Does being single disqualify you from even passing the test?"
"Tell me quickly how to get through this!" Tang Yu said with a smile.
Inside the room, Leng Wei burst into unrestrained laughter:
"Don't worry! You'll find out soon enough!"
Inside, preparations were underway for quite some time, and the laughter of the bride and bridesmaids could be heard from time to time.
Those outside felt a chill run down their spines, sensing something was very wrong.
A few minutes later, the door to the room opened.
Liu Manyun walked out with her big pregnant belly, and Jian Ming quickly went forward to help her.
Why did you come out?
Liu Manyun smiled and said, "Of course, it's about announcing the rules for the third round."
Liu Manyun took out five clay figurines.
The dolls all looked the same, except for their color. They all had a red ribbon tied around their bodies that led into the room.
"The ribbons are connected to the bride and bridesmaids. Now, grooms and groomsmen, please pick up the ribbons and choose the person you like. If you do, you've passed this round."
Upon hearing this, everyone was immediately at a loss.
"These five dolls all look exactly alike, a one-in-five probability, how do I choose?"
"Isn't there any hint for this level?"
The groom and his groomsmen gazed longingly at Liu Manyun.
Liu Manyun raised an eyebrow, extended her hand, and said with a grin:
"If you want a hint, you'll have to give me a generous red envelope first!"
"That's easy to say."
Wang Yanjun immediately pulled a heavy red envelope out of his bag.
Liu Manyun felt the thickness of the envelope; there were at least several thousand yuan inside.
"Young Master Gu is indeed generous, but one red envelope isn't enough. I betrayed the bridesmaids, and they won't accept it. What if we have to change the ribbons at the last minute?"
Wang Yanjun then took out another red envelope and stuffed it into his hand:
"Is that enough now?"
Liu Manyun accepted the red envelope with a smile, then cleared her throat and said:
"Listen up, everyone. I'm going to give you a riddle that can help you figure out who's on the other side of the blue doll."
"With Hehe by my side, my future is bright; standing beside me, I am full of joy; and there is also a beautiful woman standing beside me, playful and lively, her heart is joyful; even in adversity, her will is as strong as steel."
In order not to delay the wedding procession, Liu Manyun's riddles were very easy to guess.
Within minutes, Meng Lianyun hurriedly grabbed the ribbon behind the blue doll.
"This is mine!"
"Any other hints?" Tang Yu asked.
Liu Manyun rubbed her fingers together again: "If you want a hint, you have to give a red envelope."
Without saying a word, Gu Xicheng took out all the red envelopes from Wang Yanjun and stuffed them into her hands.
"Here you go, tell me everything, including any other hints!"
Liu Manyun was overjoyed to receive the red envelope containing tens of thousands of yuan, and quickly recited all the riddles.
"..."
"With ears to accompany the hill, the moon shines even brighter even without water. Laughing at the affairs of the world, my heart moves forward toward my dreams."
Having finally deciphered Lu Qing's name, Gu Xicheng eagerly grabbed the ribbon on the back of the red doll.
The groomsmen also grabbed the ribbons they had chosen.
"This is the final hurdle, isn't it?" Gu Xicheng asked.
Liu Manyun smiled and nodded, then glanced at the time:
"That's about it!"
"You can open the door now!"
Upon hearing this, the people in the room immediately opened the door.
The moment Gu Xicheng saw the bride, his breath caught in his throat.
The next second, he and his groomsmen rushed in, picked up their wives, and ran out.
Downstairs, the five brothers-in-law tried to block the door, but they were blocked and were knocked over by the groom and his groomsmen.
By the time they realized what was happening, the bride had already been carried into the car and driven away.
...
At this auspicious time, sunlight streamed into the antique-style mansion.
The courtyard was filled with guests, and bright red lanterns hung high, casting a warm and festive glow.
The drums and suonas resounded, creating a lively atmosphere!
"The bride has arrived!"
As the master of ceremonies announced, a bridal sedan chair carried by eight men approached.
In front of the bridal sedan chair, Gu Xicheng, dressed in a red long robe and mandarin jacket, rode a horse, looking like a victorious general, full of high spirits.
"Please, bride, alight from the sedan chair!"
At the master of ceremonies' loud announcement, the sedan chair was lowered and tilted slightly forward.
Lu Qing, dressed in a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, slowly walked out, her face hidden by a round fan.
Gu Xicheng stepped forward, took her hand, and helped her down.
Surrounded by guests, the couple walked slowly forward, stepping over the bright red saddle, crossing the brazier, and entering the wedding hall.
In the wedding hall, both sets of parents sat upright.
The master of ceremonies announced loudly: "First bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Bowing to the parents twice!"
"Husband and wife bow to each other!"
"Send them to the bridal chamber!!!"
The ceremony is now complete.
With everyone's blessings, Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing officially became husband and wife.
