Song Yaoyao could see clearly then that Ji Minyue was wearing a long skirt that dragged on the ground. The hem of the skirt was folded layer by layer, and ripples appeared with every step she took.
After they left the General's Mansion and got in the car, they did not go to the Marquis' Mansion, but drove around the city three times before going there.
This was also the unanimous decision of the Song family.
Cars travel too fast, so there is a process of going around the city three times, which is also to ensure that people can enter the city at an auspicious time.
Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as Song Yaoyao and the others got off the car and walked into the hall from the gate of the Marquis' Mansion, they were immediately covered with a big red carpet.
The matchmaker appeared, holding a big red silk ribbon in her hand. She handed the two ends of the ribbon to Song Qingyu and Ji Minyue, and the two of them slowly walked into the marquis' mansion.
Entering the Marquis' Mansion, the two walked side by side!
Some people sprinkled glutinous rice, red dates, longans and dried shrimps on them.
Scattering glutinous rice is a traditional wedding custom in Tianfeng Country. It is meant to ward off evil spirits and pray for good luck. The "cleansing" property of glutinous rice is used to dispel any bad luck that may be present along the way, and it also symbolizes a "good harvest and no worries about food and clothing" in married life.
Sprinkle red dates, longans and jujubes to wish the newlyweds a baby soon.
After the two entered the hall, the ceremonial officer began to preside over the worship ceremony.
"Bow to heaven and earth."
Song Qingyu and Ji Minyue faced the tablets of heaven and earth, and the ceremonial officer chanted the ritual: "First bow to thank heaven for the gift of a good marriage, second bow to pray for heaven and earth's blessings, and third bow to wish the couple a long and happy marriage."
Every time the ceremonial officer sang a line, Song Qingyu and Ji Minyue bowed. After bowing three times, the next round began.
"Bow to your parents twice."
Song Qingyu and Ji Minyue turned to face their parents' seats, and the ceremonial officer continued to chant the ritual: "First bow to thank parents for giving birth to us, second bow to thank parents for raising us, and third bow to wish parents good health and longevity."
The two bowed three more times.
"Husband and wife bow to each other."
Song Qingyu and Ji Minyue stood facing each other, and the ceremonial officer continued to sing:
"First, we bow to the couple's deep love; second, we bow to their happiness; third, we bow to them spending their lives together."
The two bowed three times again.
"The ceremony is over! Send her to the bridal chamber!"
Only then did Song Qingyu take Ji Minyue to the backyard.
Guagua: [Host, this is different from what's shown on TV. This is equivalent to bowing nine times.]
Song Yaoyao: [Yeah. It's definitely different.]
We've attended wedding banquets before, isn't it always like this?]
Gua Gua: [I know, I was so busy eating melons at the wedding banquet that I didn’t pay attention to many details!
By the way, host, are you going to the bridal chamber tonight?
Song Yaoyao: [I don't want to make a scene in the bridal chamber, I want to eavesdrop!]
Gua Gua: [Host, you really are the one who wants to listen to this kind of conversation?
Be careful, your big brother will beat you! 】
Song Yaoyao: [I'll be careful not to let him find out.]
When the Song family heard this, their eyelids twitched.
Lord Song winked at Madam Song, asking her to look at Song Yaoyao.
Mrs. Song nodded, meaning that she understood.
There were many dignitaries who came that day, and their expressions were indescribable after hearing what Song Yaoyao had just said.
He didn't even let his own elder brother, the melon, go. Master Jiahe is really...
As soon as the banquet ended, Madam Song called Song Yaoyao:
"Yaoyao."
Song Yaoyao stopped and asked:
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"The banquet is over. Please help me check the gifts and the gift list. This one needs to be put into storage."
"Isn't there someone specifically responsible for this?"
"Mom thinks it would be better if we check it ourselves."
"Come on!"
