After eating the glutinous rice balls, Ye Chenming escorted Yan Xiaonan to the bridal chamber, but there was still a distance between the front and back yards.
Now that Yan Xiaonan has lost her superpowers, she is indeed a bit out of breath. She has decided to exercise properly after returning to her parents' home in three days.
Ye Chenming knew that Yan Xiaonan's physical condition had declined after losing her superpower, so he let Nannan lean on him and bear most of the weight.
Finally, we arrived at the backyard. The vibrant garden with its red flowers and green leaves was a sight to behold. There were ancient trees, a rockery, and red carp in the pond that could even surface to blow bubbles.
Above the antique-style gate is a plaque made of ebony wood, with several large characters engraved in gold powder: Nanming Academy.
The combination of green bricks and red tiles with large red wooden beams creates a charmingly ancient and serene atmosphere.
An exquisite courtyard gate, a bright lintel, and steps that have been washed so thoroughly they are now almost reflective.
Ascending the steps and entering the north wing, one is enveloped in a rich and lingering atmosphere of luxury, creating two distinct worlds inside and out.
A faint scent of sandalwood filled the air, and dappled sunlight streamed through the openwork window lattice.
Inside the gauze curtains, a bright red wedding quilt was piled high, and an antique bronze mirror was placed on a large dressing table.
The countless dowry chests were placed in front of the most conspicuous door, making one really want to open them and take a look.
Shen Shaohua was dumbfounded. She knew this marriage was a powerful alliance, but she hadn't expected it to be so extravagant.
The eight-courtyard house was sore from walking from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard. Suddenly, her memories came flooding back, and she recalled the words Bei Nan had given her in the three-courtyard house.
Good heavens, the Yan and Ye families are incredibly wealthy; she wouldn't dare join such a family.
Bei Nan never expected that Shen Shaohua would be scared off by this wedding and that it would take a lot of effort to win him back.
After lunch, Yan Xiaonan changed out of her formal dress, rested for a while, and waited for Ye Chenming to pick her up and take her to the Beijing Club.
As the sun sets, it transforms into shimmering gold, falling upon every corner of the courtyard.
The cannons in the eight-courtyard house began to fire, and everyone knew that the bride and groom were about to come out.
The onlookers stood at a distance and watched; this grand wedding opened the eyes of the people of Beijing.
Yan Xiaonan put on the priceless wedding dress and knelt down to express her gratitude as she passed by Fu Qingping.
Fu Qingping felt a warmth in her heart. What a sensible child! All her years of burning the midnight oil had been worthwhile.
The sound of firecrackers was almost constant. Yan Xiaonan leaned weakly against Ye Chenming, feeling like she was going deaf.
Ye Chenming covered Yan Xiaonan's ears with both hands: "Nannan, just bear with it for a while, it will be fine after tonight."
Yan Xiaonan nodded. Of course she knew, but her ears were so sore from the noise that she could barely hear Ye Chenming speaking.
At the Beijing Club, colorful flags fluttered and bright red lanterns hung high. Everyone stood at the entrance, windows, and flower beds to welcome today's protagonist.
The waiter opened the car door, and Ye Chenming helped Yan Xiaonan out of the car. Everyone forgot to applaud or cheer, as they were all stunned by the beauty of this perfect couple.
The applause only thundered and resounded after the two figures disappeared through the gate.
Wow, what a feast for the eyes today! There really are handsome men and beautiful women in the world. It's truly a feast for the eyes!
Today, Ye Ren is the officiant at the wedding, and the person who arranged the marriage is that high-ranking leader.
The grapes and wine were laid out on the high platform, the wine glasses were stacked high, and the golden microphone awaited the officiant's declaration.
When the person seeking a spouse read out their proposal, applause erupted from the audience and lasted for a long time. Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chenming bowed to the officiant to express their gratitude.
Then Ye Ren went on stage to preside over the long-awaited wedding.
No one knew that an old senior alumnus and scientist was also a stand-up comedian.
Those humorous and witty sentences flowed from Ye Ren's mouth as if they were free.
Yan Xiaonan tried her best to tell herself to hold back, to hold back, that she couldn't laugh out loud like the guests in the audience.
Finally, Ye Ren picked up the bottle and handed it to the newlyweds: "Please open the champagne of love, pour out the fountain of love, and wish you a loving and happy life together."
The two men held champagne bottles and poured the golden wine into the champagne tower.
Love is a lamp, the more you have, the brighter it shines; love is a river, the longer it flows, the longer it grows; love is wine, the older it gets, the better it becomes. The champagne of perfect love, poured out in a single cascade, symbolizes the eternal commemoration of a happy marriage.
This is the source, this is the nectar, these white wine bubbles are the joy and sweetness of the newlyweds.
When the clear spring of love dances in the cup, like a melody that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, that is your river of love, a river of love that flows on forever.
The two put down their wine bottles and stood in the center of the stage, waiting for Ye Ren's even more brilliant lyrics.
"Holding your hand, we grow old together. Through thick and thin, we are bound together. Now, please exchange wedding rings with the bride and groom."
Ye Chenming opened the box, and two identical diamond rings sparkled brilliantly under the light.
He took out a small diamond ring and slipped it onto Yan Xiaonan's slender and graceful ring finger.
Yan Xiaonan also took out a large diamond ring and put it on Ye Chenming's fair ring finger.
The crowd erupted in applause, congratulating the newlyweds on the successful completion of their ceremony.
Ye Ren picked up the golden microphone again:
"Thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my grandson's wedding ceremony. Now there is another very important announcement to make: the bride, Yan Xiaonan, will be the matriarch of the ninth generation of the Ye family from today onwards."
Ye Huili went up to the platform and put the emerald ring that Yan Xiaonan had just given him on her thumb.
The ring was a bit big, but Ye Huili carefully wrapped a red thread around it, making it fit Yan Xiaonan's thumb perfectly.
Ye Chenming took the golden microphone and first raised Yan Xiaonan's left hand: "Yan Xiaonan, my wife."
He then raised Yan Xiaonan's right hand: "Yan Xiaonan, the matriarch of the Ye family."
The initial shock and tension were dispelled by Ye Chenming's childish action, and everyone burst into laughter.
The leader's eyes flickered. They had just gotten married today, and he was already announcing that Yan Xiaonan would become the matriarch of the Ye family.
So Ye Ren means that the Ye family will focus on business in the future, and he wants to change the family's reputation as a shipping family?
Ye Huili also glanced at the leader out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that he looked thoughtful, he sighed inwardly.
In truth, he was also deeply conflicted. On one hand, he hoped that Ye Chenming could shoulder the responsibility of the shipbuilding family, but this responsibility was too heavy, and Ye Chenming was the only male member left in the Ye family, making it difficult for him to bear.
Back then, I had a younger brother. Although his main profession wasn't shipping, he could still help me with other things.
But who can Ye Chenming turn to? Ye Chen'er is no match for him, and Yan Aidang also has his own career.
Moreover, times have changed, and the Ye family can no longer dominate the shipping industry.
