The huge wedding procession of more than a thousand people from Shilou Village soon arrived under the stone archway of Pingle Village.
At this time, the entrance of Pingle Village was already surrounded by a huge crowd of people, and even many of the trees along the road were filled with people.
Although the eldest brother Lin Pingyang is a cadre, he stood in front of the wedding procession as a representative of the Lin clan today and shook hands with Yin Dekang, a representative of the Yin clan in Pingle Village.
Yin Dekang is also the director of a certain bureau in Huadu. The two have equal status. It can be seen that Pingle Village has put a lot of effort into welcoming the bride.
After Lin Pingyang and Yin Dekang exchanged pleasantries, he asked:
"Director Yin, when can we enter the village?"
Yin Dekang looked at his watch and said in a low voice embarrassedly:
"Director Lin, I'm not trying to embarrass you. Our grandfather has repeatedly ordered that we must enter the village at 10:08, saying it's an auspicious time. You know we don't believe in this at all, but it's difficult to obey the clan's orders."
Lin Pingyang looked at his watch. It was only 9:38, and it would take a full half hour to enter the village.
This wedding procession of thousands of people, some carry the sedan chair, some raise the flag, all of this is physical work.
In addition, the groom is sitting on the horse, and the horse may not have the patience to wait for half an hour. It will be troublesome if it gets angry.
Although there was no such thing as blocking or pranking a wedding in Huadu, the clever Lin Pingyang immediately realized that this might be a warning from Yin to Lin.
He deliberately made things difficult for the Lin family, or in other words, made them stand outside Pingle Village as punishment, to embarrass the Lin family a little.
Realizing that something was wrong, Lin Pingyang did not make things difficult for Yin Dekang. The other party was just a tool like him and had no decision-making power.
At this time, Lin Yangping's eyes turned and he discussed it with the wedding boss Qu Xiaofeng, and the two immediately came up with an idea to solve the problem.
The two bands at the front and back of the team were gathered together, and then they played the Guangdong folk music "Bubugao" directly on the main road at the entrance of Pingle Village.
Ding ding ding, the music of ding ding ding sounded, and it was lively and bustling.
In an instant, tens of thousands of citizens and tourists watching the scene became excited.
The musicians in the wedding procession are all professional musicians from the Cantonese opera troupe. Their skills are first-class and they maintain a high standard even when it is a temporary outdoor performance.
After the song was over, warm applause broke out at the entrance of Pingle Village.
The musicians all stood up and bowed to the people around them to express their gratitude. This novel way of performing also made the musicians enjoy it.
Then, several young actors from the Cantonese opera troupe began to perform on stage.
It just so happened that these young actors were all wearing ancient costumes, and there was no sense of incongruity when they sang the opera. Coupled with their professional voices, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Those who know that this is a wedding reception think it is a big show, while those who don’t think it is a big show.
As soon as Yin Kangde saw what the Lin family had done, he knew that all his previous troubles were in vain, so he said to Lin Pingyang with a wry smile:
"Director Lin, that's enough. Let's stop fighting. The auspicious time has arrived, let's go and welcome the bride. I see you're carrying so much gold, cash, and jewelry. Aren't you afraid of being robbed?"
Lin Pingyang sighed upon hearing this:
"Isn't it because of your Grandpa Yin's pressure? Otherwise, who would want to show off their wealth? Oh, wait a minute, we haven't distributed the wedding candy yet."
Yin Kangde thought that with so many people present, it was only right to spread some wedding candy, so he smiled and said:
"Don't let a stampede happen. It's better to be careful."
Officials always have safety in mind and dare not forget it even when doing personal matters.
Lin Pingyang was actually a little nervous, but today the east wind was in Shilou Village, and when it came to suppressing the west wind in Pingle Village, he had no choice but to give it a try.
At Lin Pingyang's signal, the emcee stood on the float and shouted through a loud speaker:
"Next, it's time for the groom to hand out red envelopes. Whoever gets one will depend on luck, but let's agree that we should grab the red envelopes in a civilized manner and not push or jostle. Safety is our top priority."
Lin Sanqi also came over at this time and shouted to the thousands of onlookers at the scene:
"Everyone, please don't crowd. The main thing is to share in the joy. Our happiness and safety come first."
“Okay~~~”
A cheer erupted from the crowd.
The locals in Huadu, including tourists, are not in bad financial condition and don't mind these small things. They just want to have fun and feel festive. No one is really crazy about picking up money.
Especially for the locals, the "lucky money" in Huadu has always been just enough, and it is impossible to give too much, so everyone's expectations are not that high.
As the groom today, Lin Sanqi saw that everyone was ready, so he ran to the float and pressed a button similar to a foam machine.
Then the red envelopes flew out of the tube like bubbles, and the other five floats also launched red envelopes at the same time, and tens of thousands of red envelopes flew towards the crowd.
The scene instantly turned into a sea of joy. Although each red envelope was only 10 yuan, it was still a good omen.
Seeing that there was no chaos in the red envelope grabbing scene, Lin Yangping felt relieved and a little proud. In this aspect, Shilou Village surpassed Pingle Village.
When the auspicious time arrived, Lin Sanqi mounted his horse and the wedding procession continued to walk towards the ancestral hall in the village.
Originally, the wedding should have been held at the bride's home, but the Yin family's house was in the center of the village, and one had to walk through one narrow alley after another, which was difficult even with an electric car.
The first time Lin Sanqi went to Yin Lianyi's house to pay New Year's greetings, he almost got lost and couldn't find the place.
This time, the Lin family’s wedding procession had thousands of people, and it was so large that the Yin family’s house was completely unable to accommodate them.
Because it was a matter of face for the Yin clan, Grandpa Yin made an exception and allowed Yin Lianyi to marry out of the Yin family ancestral hall. This was the first time in a hundred years.
But there is a prerequisite, you can only go through the side door, not the main door. This is the different treatment for my daughter.
duang~~~duang~~~
As the sound of drums and gongs from the Lin family's wedding procession approached, bursts of drum music suddenly rang out on the road passing by the Yin family's ancestral hall.
Boom boom boom~~~~
Dozens of drums were struck at the same time, making a deafening sound.
Then a dozen lion dancers stood on both sides of the road and began to dance, and the atmosphere on the scene instantly reached a second climax.
After seeing this, Lin Yangping smiled and said to Lin Sanqi:
"This Yin family is not willing to take any loss. Our band is mainly composed of suona, erhu, and small gongs, and they just sent a drum band. The sound of the drums drowned out our band."
Lin Sanqi didn't care and said:
"It's okay. No matter how loud the bells ring, it's to celebrate my wedding with Ayi. Whether it's the east wind or the west wind, it's my wind, haha."
After the band and drum team met up, they walked towards the ancestral hall together.
When the musicians of the Cantonese Opera House saw that someone was coming to disrupt the show, the band raised the volume a few notches and played with all their might.
This is no longer a matter of face for the Lin family, but a matter of face for their Guangle Cantonese Opera House. The regular army can be overwhelmed by the Eighth Route Army.
There was a sound of "dong dong dong" over here, and "clang clang clang" over there, which made the onlookers laugh out loud.
The TV reporters recorded all the footage and were equally delighted. These were all the best news materials and there was no need to edit them.
Finally, the wedding procession arrived at the gate of the Yin Family Ancestral Hall, and the sound of firecrackers began to pop non-stop.
The honor guard began to spread out in all directions, vaguely surrounding the altar at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Outside of that were the security guards of Lingnan Hall and the outsourced security company, with a total number of over a thousand people.
Because the main event is about to begin.
Lin Sanqi was still sitting on the big Arabian horse. Lin Yangping, as the clan representative, stepped forward to meet with Grandpa Yin and other clan elders, and greeted them with his hands clasped together.
"Grandpa, on behalf of the Lin family, I would like to propose marriage to the Yin family and present our betrothal gifts."
Grandpa Yin smiled and nodded: "Colorful!"
As the father-in-law, Yin Shengrong could only stand aside. There was no other way. Holding the wedding in the ancestral hall today had already given his family enough face, and he didn't dare to act rashly.
Lin Yangping waved his hand, and boxes of gold, boxes of cash, and boxes of precious jade and jade were brought forward one after another, and then all were piled on the altar in order.
There is no such step when ordinary people get married. At most, they will show the betrothal gifts or dowry to relatives and friends.
But this time, Yin wanted to save face, so Lin Sanqi directly took out a tiny bit of his own money and displayed a ton of gold, nearly 200 million in cash, and jewelry and jade worth more than 1 billion in the square for everyone to see.
Among them, a golden boy made of gold and a jade girl carved from glass-type imperial green are particularly eye-catching.
These two items alone are worth more than ten billion yuan, far exceeding the amount Grandpa Yin originally requested.
After everything was in place, Grandpa Yin, all the clan elders, and Yin Shengrong's six brothers all went up to watch the ceremony, and then they all had red faces and their hearts beating faster.
So generous! (End of this chapter)
