At dawn, before the winter mist had dispersed, a convoy of brightly dressed and cheerful people came out of the newly renovated Qin Mansion.
Qin Yuan rode a tall white horse. He wore a dark black auspicious robe with vermilion trim. To keep a low profile, he only wore a black traveling crown.
According to the customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Qin Yuan was holding a golden goose as a betrothal gift in his hand. He looked energetic and high-spirited, and was truly a handsome man.
Behind Qin Yuan were Chen Wujiu, Wei Wuyin, Baopuzi, Yuan Gong, Lin Caiquan... and dozens of relatives and friends.
The scholars are dignified, the warriors are vigorous and fierce, and the alchemists have a celestial air, attracting passers-by to stop and watch.
In the middle was the wedding procession, but the only people riding were Murong Yanran and Jinlian.
Behind the motorcade were maids and servants holding various betrothal gifts.
The customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty were to celebrate weddings and funerals, so Chen Wujiu and Wei Wuyin also intended to use the wedding to give this talented and hardworking man some attention.
Therefore, the betrothal gifts were extremely gorgeous, including countless pearls, jade, gems, rice, fine wine, silk, deer, sheep, coins... There were even two precious white deer skins placed in the most conspicuous position.
There was a group of drummers and musicians in front and behind the motorcade. The musicians playing the zither, se, sheng, yu, drum, horn, flute, and oracle... lined up and marched in formation, accompanied by the top-notch Kabuki who had been invited, singing and dancing, and the road was filled with clear music.
The entire wedding procession stretched for miles, covered in red and decorated with colorful ribbons, with drums and music playing, creating a very grand scene.
In particular, Chen Wujiu specially dispatched yamen runners and soldiers to clear the streets for Qin Yuan, and all intersections were closed to traffic, causing many passers-by and onlookers to gather on both sides of the road.
"I can't believe it... I can't believe it..."
"He actually managed to marry the eldest daughter of the Li family..."
The onlookers didn't know whether to be envious or jealous, and could only sigh: "The dog licks the dog to the end, and finally gets everything."
Everyone knew that Qin Yuan was shamelessly proposing marriage to the Li family.
But Qin Yuan was just a small prefect of Jingzhou, and he was already married.
How could he possibly marry the darling of Li Yaoshi, the military god of the Great Zhou Dynasty who was at the peak of his power?
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a toad wanting to eat swan flesh.
In this era where matching of social status is important, no one thinks Qin Yuan can win the heart of the beauty.
However, they still admired Qin Yuan's indomitable spirit and his determination to fight again and again despite repeated failures.
Qin Yuan's spirit of putting aside worldly affairs, abandoning everything and pursuing love is admired by the people.
So, after dinner, they couldn't help but respect and congratulate Qin Yuan for his action which could be described as "Yugong moving mountains".
I don’t know how long it took, but Qin Yuan actually got married despite a lot of debuffs. While he was entangled with the most dazzling pearl of the Great Zhou, he also married the most heroic female general of the Great Zhou.
They just felt a chill in their hearts.
Some even exclaimed, "I understand, I understand. Sincerity can move mountains and break rocks. Tomorrow I will also learn from the spirit of Prefect Qin and bravely pursue love!"
A word can wake a person up from his dream.
Get rich today!
at the same time.
A Taoist priest wearing a feathered cloak and bearing the appearance of an immortal stood on a chariot with a green canopy. He raised his arms and chanted loudly to the accompaniment of drums and music: "Out of the east gate, there are women like clouds..."
The sound was loud and beautiful, echoing throughout the long street.
This poem, "Out of the East Gate," was a common hymn performed at weddings in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Everyone was familiar with it, and immediately a passerby responded by singing, "There is a girl like clouds!"
The cart was loaded with baskets of money. A chubby little boy shouted "good", picked up a handful of money and threw it to the place where people were responding, which immediately aroused cheers.
Lin Caiquan dressed like a god, waving his sleeves like a white crane, chanting and singing, his voice resonating with the iron and stone, "Though like a cloud, I am not in your thoughts. In white clothes and a scarf, I am enjoying myself..."
The drums started beating louder, and more people responded, "Let's have fun!"
Coins were thrown down like raindrops, mixed with silver and even gold coins.
The host was so generous that there was thunderous cheers on both sides of the street.
Lin Caiquan said loudly: "Out of the door, there is a girl as beautiful as tea..."
The passers-by on the street responded in unison: "There are women like flowers!"
Then the servants all worked together, and the crisp sound of coins falling to the ground became dense and continuous, and deafening cheers rose one after another, continuously.
Lin Caiquan raised his hands above his head, clapped his hands and sang loudly, "Although it is in full bloom, I am not thinking about it. I wear white clothes and eat glutinous rice, but I can still enjoy myself..."
Accompanied by singing, dancing and drum music, the wedding carriage arrived at Li's house.
The Li family's servants lined up in front of the main gate and had been waiting for a long time.
Qin Yuan dismounted and presented the golden goose. An elder from the Li family took the betrothal gift and personally led the groom to the front of the hall.
Pharmacist Li and Hong Fu Nu were already waiting on the steps.
"Father-in-law, mother-in-law, I'm here." Qin Yuan walked over with a smile.
Pharmacist Li still looked a little unhappy, but he just nodded coldly, "Hmph."
Hong Funu also came forward with a smile, "I have been waiting for a long time, you are finally here, Master."
Qin Yuan bowed and said, "I'm sorry for keeping my mother-in-law waiting. It's my fault."
"It's okay, it's okay. You must treat Yinhuan well in the future." With Li Dejian's help, the mother-in-law was very satisfied with this scholarly son-in-law.
Wei Wuyin and Chen Wujiu held the coins strung together with red silk, said auspicious words, and distributed them everywhere. As long as the guests came to watch the ceremony, they could get a share. The hall was filled with a joyous and lively scene.
After a lot of effort, the newly dressed bride came out and said goodbye to her parents one by one surrounded by a group of female relatives.
