Today was a good day, as it was the wedding day of Yu Zihan and Gu Jingxuan. Yu Zihan was pulled out of bed early in the morning to get dressed. After discussion with several elders, they decided to hold a Chinese-style wedding.
The process of a Chinese wedding is very complicated. The bed must be made first. The fortune-making woman will be responsible for making the bed. She will spread peanuts, red dates, longans, lotus seeds and other dried fruits with meanings on the new bed to pray for the newlyweds to have a baby soon.
Next comes the "Shangtou Ceremony," where a well-wishers comb the newlyweds' hair, saying auspicious words while combing, to pray for their happiness. Then comes the "Bridal Party," where the groom and his best man go to the bride's home. After a series of games and rituals, they take the bride away.
After arriving at the groom's home, a ceremony of worshipping the bride and groom takes place. Presided over by the host, the bride and groom pay homage to the heavens, earth, parents, relatives, and friends, expressing their respect and gratitude. Following the ceremony, the groom lifts the bride's veil using a scale or a wish-fulfilling hook, symbolizing the couple's future happiness and contentment.
After that, the wedding ceremony will be held, in which the newlyweds drink from the same cup of wine to symbolize their eternal union. Finally, the wedding ceremony will be held, in which the newlyweds enter the bridal chamber surrounded by the crowd, symbolizing that they will live happily ever after.
The scene of a Chinese wedding is very spectacular, with lights and decorations everywhere and the sound of gongs and drums. The groom wears a long gown and a mandarin jacket, and the bride wears a phoenix crown and a veil. The two walk hand in hand into the ceremony hall amid the blessings of everyone.
In the center of the ceremony hall stood a large red table, upon which were placed tablets for the gods of heaven, earth, the emperor, parents, and teachers, as well as incense burners, candlesticks, and fruit offerings. The hall master stood before the table, chanting in a high voice, guiding the couple through the various rituals. The best man and bridesmaid stood on either side, holding red candles to illuminate the couple. Relatives and friends gathered around the hall, watching the ceremony with occasional bursts of applause and cheers.
In the auditorium, six elderly men sat in a row on the upper floor. Their elder brothers, all dressed in Tang suits, were energetic and youthful, accepting the couple's greetings. Pei Xiao and Yu Meijuan sat below them, their emotions mixed. They were delighted that their daughter had found such a good husband, yet also reluctant to let her marry another man.
After the ceremony, Yu Zihan walked to his father and mother and hugged them.
"Mom and Dad, I will go home often. Don't worry. I will be happy and I want your blessings." As she spoke, tears couldn't help but flow down her face.
Seeing their daughter crying, the couple forced themselves to control their emotions and smiled at their daughter.
"My child, be happy. We will always be your strong support. If you are wronged, come home. Mom and Dad are here with you."
Chinese weddings are characterized by meticulous attention to detail and ambiance, with each step symbolizing the couple's happiness and well-being. While the process is complex, it also allows one to experience the charm of traditional culture.
Their bridal chamber was also decorated in a traditional Chinese style, creating a particularly festive atmosphere. Red paper-cuts depicting double happiness characters were pasted all over the doors and windows. Red bedding was neatly spread on the kang (kang), and a pair of dragon and phoenix candles burned brightly, illuminating the room. On the table beside the kang were red dates, peanuts, longans, and lotus seeds, symbolizing the early birth of a son.
Yu Zihan wore a bright red cheongsam, a phoenix crown on her head, and a happy smile on her face. Gu Jingxuan wore a brand new Zhongshan suit with a big red flower pinned on his chest, looking particularly energetic. The two walked into the bridal chamber hand in hand and were very satisfied with the decoration in front of them.
Yu Zihan and Gu Jingxuan sat opposite each other, silently gazing at each other, their eyes gleaming with happiness. Their hands clasped tightly together, feeling each other's warmth. After a moment, Gu Jingxuan gently caressed Yu Zihan's face and whispered, "Honey, you're so beautiful." Yu Zihan smiled shyly and said, "You're very handsome." The temperature in the room gradually rose, and an ambiguous atmosphere filled the air between the two.
Their eyes began to blur, an involuntary emotion lingering between them. Then, Gu Jingxuan slowly embraced Yu Zihan in his arms, their lips gently touching. Their bodies gradually heated up, and their breathing became rapid. Their hands began to grope each other's bodies, feeling each other's bodies. They gave themselves completely to each other in this beautiful and warm atmosphere.
On this beautiful night, the two welcomed the most unforgettable moment of their lives. Their love, like the blazing dragon and phoenix candles, will illuminate their lives forever.
After their wedding, the couple went on their honeymoon together. Yu Zihan, having lived a new life, understood that life is short and she must live up to her own expectations. Therefore, she maintained a clear distinction between work and personal life. She didn't want to be an entrepreneur who worked herself to the bone and ultimately became ill from overwork. She wanted to have time after work to relax and spend time with her family. So, their honeymoon took them to many different places.
They went to the beach, where there was a blue sky and turquoise water. They walked hand in hand on the beach, feeling the breeze and the warmth of the sun. They also took a yacht, sailing on the sea and enjoying the beautiful seascape. At the beach, they tasted seafood together and enjoyed the delicious food.
They also visited the mountains, home to lush forests and clear streams. Together, they hiked through the mountains and forests, experiencing the beauty of nature. They also took a cable car ride, enjoying breathtaking aerial views of the mountains. In the mountains, they sampled local cuisine and savored its diverse flavors.
Their honeymoon also took them to a city with its bustling streets and tall buildings. They visited shopping malls and bought some souvenirs. They also went to the theater and saw a wonderful performance. In the city, they sampled various cuisines and experienced different cultures.
During their honeymoon, the two supported and cared for each other. They spent many wonderful times together and left many wonderful memories. Their love was also sublimated during this honeymoon, becoming deeper and more firm.
After their honeymoon, they both returned to their normal work.
Yu Zihan's factory and its products became renowned brands in the city and even nationwide. During this period, foreign brands flooded the market, and overseas study was highly valued in China. Using foreign brands became a point of pride for some. Yu Zihan experienced that period, when China's doors opened wide, and people's blind adoration for novelty was unnatural. That consumption mentality was distorted. Gradually, as domestic production capacity increased, many foreign brands were actually produced domestically.
Therefore, Yu Zihan firmly believes that within a period of time, people's consumption attitudes will return to rationality. To do this, major companies need to improve product quality and gain the trust of the Chinese people. This cannot be accomplished by one person or one company alone. Yu Zihan advocates for the belief in domestic products. Her philosophy is: "Support domestic products, trust Chinese people, be proud of domestic products, and be proud of Chinese people."
