The most important event in life, one of the three major events: getting married!
Bai Yu took this matter very seriously. On January 11th, she stayed up all night, waiting at home.
After all, the next day, the 12th, was his wedding day; how could he possibly sleep?
As the morning of the 12th arrived, Bai Yu finished washing up early and appeared dressed neatly.
Bai Yu's wedding was a traditional Chinese wedding, and he wore a bright red Hanfu, which looked very festive.
No problem, this outfit was picked out by Bai Yu at the bridal shop. The shop also has Chinese-style wedding dresses, and it's a complete set.
Aside from their Hanfu attire, the wedding procession today didn't involve driving; instead, they were carried in sedan chairs.
A true eight-bearer sedan chair requires eight bearers in total, and Bai Yu prepared four sets of such bearers.
It wasn't that Bai Yu was extravagant, but rather that Li Xue's house was located some distance from Bai Yu's.
It would be impossible to carry it to the Bai family with just one group of sedan chair carriers.
That's why Bai Yu prepared four sets of sedan chair carriers. To ensure that the carriers would carry the sedan chair with all their might, Bai Yu paid them generously.
Before we even started working, he gave each of us a big red envelope, a carton of cigarettes, and a big bag of candy.
Because of the long journey, Bai Yu got up early in the morning, had a bowl of sweet soup at home with her groomsmen, and then hurriedly set off with the sedan chair bearers.
Bai Yu's wedding had a set procedure, but while he followed some of the rules, he omitted or changed others whenever possible.
For something like picking up the bride, Bai Yu would leave very early in the morning. He had to bring his wife from the county to the Bai family home, and that round trip would take at least two hours.
So let's hurry up and leave, so we can come back sooner.
Although Bai Yu didn't care whether the wedding was grand enough, there was one thing he still wanted others to know: he was getting married to Li Xue today!
By the time Bai Yu returned to the village with the eight-bearer sedan chair, it was already past ten o'clock in the morning, almost eleven o'clock.
Although traditional Chinese wedding ceremonies are usually held in the evening.
However, for Bai Yu and his group, noon was the time when everyone was present, so that after the ceremony was completed, everyone could go about their own business.
Especially for Bai Yu's wedding this time, many friends from other places came. It was already good enough that they could take the time to come. After attending the wedding, they still had to rush back.
Therefore, this timeframe naturally needs to be slightly adjusted.
Even with slight modifications, the wedding still lasted for several hours, and everyone didn't leave until evening.
Bai Yu's live stream, on the other hand, ran from morning until afternoon without stopping.
In the live stream, many viewers sent their wedding wishes, which made Bai Yu very happy.
After Bai Yu closed the live stream, he checked the backend data and found that the number of viewers on both platforms had reached a staggering 200 million.
Although there will be some overlap in viewing, once the number of viewers reaches a certain level, the overlap is no longer a major issue.
Regarding this live stream, if you ask how much money Bai Yu earned or how many gifts he received, the only answer is that Bai Yu didn't receive a single penny of gifts.
Because when he was live streaming, he didn't turn on the gift-receiving function; on the contrary, he sent out quite a few red envelopes during his wedding.
Every platform has been giving out a lot of red envelopes. Douyin and Kuaishou have been constantly giving out lucky bags, and Weibo has been continuously giving out cash red envelopes.
All together, a total of one or two million yuan in red envelopes were sent out.
Furthermore, in Bai Yu's village, an even grander banquet was held, stretching from one end of the village to the other.
A wedding would involve at least several thousand tables of food and drink. Anyone who comes to the village to offer their blessings to Bai Yu on his wedding day can enjoy the feast here for free.
After several hours, the most exhausted were the chefs and the staff responsible for table turnover; they were truly worn out.
Fortunately, chef Bai Yu and his team didn't lack cooks. Bai's father had a large group of fellow apprentices, most of whom now worked at the shipping company, which also had cooks.
If everyone works together, we can manage to prepare a banquet for thousands of tables if we grit our teeth and persevere.
Moreover, most of these diners were villagers from several nearby villages, as well as employees of Bai Yu's own company.
There weren't many fans who were actually invited or came uninvited; at most, there were probably only two or three hundred tables.
After all, Bai Yu had already posted a video beforehand, telling his fans to act rationally and that it was okay if they didn't come to the event; he could still do a live stream.
As for the fans who were invited, they were all his long-time fans, the kind he would only send private messages to invite.
Overall, Bai Yu's wedding was not very grand. Compared to those so-called weddings of the century, his was just lively.
However, the impact was indeed very significant, especially in showing netizens what a truly low-key yet luxurious wedding looks like.
Bai Yu's wedding wasn't just a one-day affair; it included everything from the Najib ceremony to the wedding procession.
Everything, from betrothal gifts to signing marriage certificates, was included without exception.
As for the betrothal gifts, Bai Yu emphasized extravagance. The betrothal gifts were all the same, and they could be summed up in three words: a box of gold.
The rest are all ordinary things, but the first three words are enough.
Besides that, there's the cost of Bai Yu's wedding. Putting everything else aside, just hiring the etiquette team, sedan chair bearers, honor guard, drum and gong team, and the purple-robed Taoist priest all add up to a considerable expense.
Some busybodies have specifically estimated that, not counting other expenses, these alone would cost at least a million.
Does Baiyu follow the Dao?
He didn't believe in Buddhism before, but since he got the system, he's started to believe a little. As for Buddha, to hell with him.
After seeing off all the guests, Bai Yu had only one thought in her mind: exhaustion.
Besides being tired, I was still so tired, so very tired!
Although he was very tired, he felt very happy, extremely happy, with a smile that he couldn't suppress.
He finally got married, and it was the kind of marriage that required a formal marriage certificate!
