Chapter 304 Welcoming the Bride
Coincidentally, when the group of archaeologists arrived, they encountered just such a grand scene. It was truly a grand scene; there were people all around, and they could hardly squeeze in. They only managed to squeeze in after seeing a few leaders and greeting them.
"Is this a wedding? There are so many people." The teacher in charge couldn't help but say to the leader on the other side.
"There aren't many people here. Many left early, and those who remain probably really don't want to leave, but most of them are keeping their distance. Most of the people who are gathered here have some connection with the Lin family."
"So many people you know well?" The teacher in charge of the group couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise.
"It's not that there are so many people who are acquainted; it's that anyone who has exchanged a single word with you on the street is considered to be acquainted, so naturally there are many such people."
Archaeological staff and supervising teachers: ...
I have so many questions in my mind, it's really nagging me to ask! I really, really want to ask!
Finally, one of the staff members couldn't hold back any longer: "Excuse me, is the Lin family very powerful?"
"Impressive? Not bad. The Lin family has already resigned and is preparing to go to the capital."
"So, is it really okay for a lesbian to make such a big fuss about her wedding?"
"What does it matter? Everyone did it voluntarily, and no one broke the law. What? Do you have a problem with that?"
Seeing that the leader seemed to be in a bad mood, everyone immediately fell silent. It was the teacher in charge who said, "Of course we have no objections. We are just curious. After all, it is the first time we have seen a wedding with so many people."
"What's so strange about that? It just means that Xiaotaohua is popular here. You wouldn't believe it, there are so many more people who want to come, but we really can't accommodate them all. Look at me, I don't even have a chance to sit inside and eat." The leader said this with some regret.
After all, he wasn't really familiar with the Lin family.
If they're close enough, he could sit inside and have a meal as a member of the bride's family. If possible, he could even escort her to the wedding.
But the Lin family did not accept it. Those who could sit in the Lin family's house were people who had had close ties with both families over the years, and then there were some people from the Xiaolin Village production team.
So, despite the large number of people, very few of those who came to offer their congratulations were actually able to get a meal.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment as they listened to their leader's words.
"Are you here to offer your congratulations as well?" the leader asked.
"That's the idea," the teacher in charge nodded.
“Let’s go and say hello to Lin Guangsheng. Oh, Lin Guangsheng is the bride’s father.”
"Wouldn't this be too much trouble for them?" After all, there are already so many people.
"It's alright, just say your blessings when the time comes, we don't need any response from them, it will be quick."
Everyone: ...
I find this matter increasingly strange.
But the locals didn't find it strange at all.
That, on the contrary, made them seem strange.
So, these people still gritted their teeth and went to Lin Guangsheng, and then said some words of blessing to him.
Lin Guangsheng was also surprised that this group of archaeologists came to attend Xiao Taohua's wedding. But guests are guests, and there were so many uninvited people, some of whom didn't even want to reveal their identities and just wanted to be ordinary people. So Lin Guangsheng went from being shocked at first to becoming numb later. He just nodded when others offered their blessings.
If he were to respond to each one individually, he would be too busy talking until his spittle dried up to keep up.
Just as the leader said, the archaeologists and Lin Guangsheng were pushed aside when they said their blessings, and then they watched helplessly as another group of people went over to say their blessings.
I was still shocked.
"Hehe, you guys do as you please after this, I won't stay with you."
"Thank you for your help earlier."
"It's not a big deal. Alright, I'm off now. I still need to go see Little Peach Blossom's wedding."
After watching the leader leave, I looked at the bustling crowd, puzzled: "Shall we go back?"
"Since we're already here, let's see what happens," someone suggested.
Everyone looked at the teacher in charge.
"Then let's stay and see." This was such a strange thing, not only were the staff curious, but the leader leading the team was also curious.
Since I have nothing to do back home anyway, I'll stay and have a look around.
Everyone cheered with joy.
The wedding procession finally arrived, with an eight-bearer sedan chair, all dressed in red, and Xiao Peichuan riding a tall horse in front.
The archaeological staff were dumbfounded.
This scene is just like a wedding procession in ancient times.
"teacher?"
"Keep watching."
No one is more familiar with these ancient customs than they are.
Even now, many weddings are simple wedding processions, but this one is a truly standard wedding ceremony.
But this was just the beginning, and they continued watching.
The scale of this wedding was indeed very grand.
The teacher leading the group had an exceptional eye; he could tell at a glance that the sedan chair was made of huanghuali wood, and the tall, strong horse was something that ordinary families couldn't afford. Even the sedan chair bearers were clearly not ordinary people; they were incredibly strong. And then there were the clothes worn by the wedding party.
The teacher in charge of the group hissed inwardly; these were all valuable items.
So, what on earth was this wedding all about?!
Even now that things have relaxed up to the higher-ups, those bigwigs in the capital wouldn't dare to hold such a grand wedding. Yet here, a small production team has put on such a high-profile wedding, with so many people involved.
No problem, he did a handstand right there!
But everyone could see the problem. Locals were used to it, while outsiders were completely baffled. But like these people, they could only remain silent bystanders.
Should I report it?
The locals aren't afraid at all, and they're even having such a big holiday. Where are you going to report this?
Even if the report is successful, can you guarantee that it won't take the person who reported it to come over?
In that time, since they're all locals, if they try to fabricate stories, what evidence can you find?
That's what's truly terrifying.
"Quick, quick, the groom is here! The bride is leaving!"
Lin Yuqing, being the eldest among them, naturally squatted down: "Come on, let your elder brother see you out."
"Thank you, Brother Yuqing." Little Peach Blossom obediently climbed up, but just as she was about to turn around, Yin Qing reminded her, "Once you're out the door, just keep going straight ahead and don't look back."
Little Peach Blossom nodded, ultimately obeying her mother's words and not turning back.
Xiao Pei-chuan had already arrived outside the gate.
To be honest, there should have been a difficult process before welcoming the guests, but since Xiao Peichuan was unwell, they didn't intend to make things difficult for their son-in-law, so they skipped it and had Lin Yuqing carry him out.
With Xiao Taohua's head covered by a veil, Xiao Peichuan watched as Lin Yuqing carried Xiao Taohua step by step toward him. He felt as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest, pounding incessantly!
Xiao Peichuan is getting married, and he's marrying the woman he loves most.
Xiao Peichuan swore to the heavens that he would never abandon Xiao Taohua in this lifetime.
Starting today, he will become a more responsible person, a reliable pillar that Xiao Taohua can depend on.
Perhaps these little peach blossoms don't care, but Xiao Peichuan's goal will only become more determined.
As they drew nearer, Lin Yuqing, carrying Little Peach Blossom on her back, stood before Xiao Peichuan.
