As dawn broke in the east, the soft, gentle morning light bathed the earth, and the entire Liucun village was enveloped in a festive atmosphere.
"Dong dong qiang, dong dong qiang," the rousing and powerful drumbeats, like bursts of spring thunder, struck the hearts of the villagers again and again, stirring up the purest joy and excitement deep within them.
The crisp sound of firecrackers rose and fell, crackling and popping. The deafening noise startled the birds on the branches, and scraps of paper fell like snowflakes in winter, adding a fiery and vivid touch to the festive scene.
At the village entrance, a long red carpet stretches out along the winding road, extending towards the bride's home in the distance, a distance of ten miles.
On both sides of the red carpet, vibrant Damask roses were laid out, layer upon layer, some fiery red, some as pink as the sunset, some as white as snow. Glistening morning dew clung to their petals, shimmering in the morning light. A gentle breeze carried their sweet fragrance.
What intrigues people the most is the newly opened wedding tent.
Some villagers and children, like little bees attracted by sweet candy, got up early and excitedly rushed into the huge wedding tent.
The wedding tent was so grand that it was astonishing.
Upon entering, the first thing that catches the eye is the stage in the very center, which rises high and resembles a small palace.
Based on a solid wooden structure, it is surrounded by exquisitely carved vermilion railings, which are decorated with beautiful dragon and phoenix patterns. The dragons seem to be tumbling in the sea of clouds, and the phoenixes seem to be soaring in the sky, all lifelike.
The stage floor was covered with a red carpet, echoing the red carpet at the village entrance, as if a giant red carpet dragon stretched across the entire wedding venue. Behind the stage, a huge golden "囍" (double happiness) character painting hung high, gleaming under the lights. Below the stage, the seats were neatly arranged in an orderly fashion.
Each table was covered with a red tablecloth embroidered with auspicious floral patterns, and in the center was an exquisite blue and white porcelain vase with several freshly blooming plum blossoms in it, their subtle fragrance wafting through the air, symbolizing that the newlyweds would be resilient and unyielding in their future life, embracing every beautiful tomorrow.
At each of the four corners of the tablecloth rests a small, exquisite paperweight shaped like a gold ingot, gleaming and adding a touch of luxury to the tabletop.
Looking at the top of the wedding canopy, huge Chinese palace lanterns hang in a staggered arrangement. Their lampshades are octagonal, made of silk as thin as cicada wings, and decorated with elegant patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish, as if they have captured the beauty of the four seasons.
The candlelight flickered inside the lamp, casting a hazy glow through the lampshade, draping the entire wedding tent in a dreamy veil.
The walls around the room are adorned with exquisite traditional landscape paintings, depicting mountains and water in harmony, creating a profound artistic conception that complements the overall Chinese style of the wedding tent.
In a corner of the shed, there are several tall green plants, such as areca palms and pothos, which add a touch of fresh greenery to the lively space.
At this moment, inside the wedding tent, in the wedding hall.
Liu Feng was dressed in a red groom's suit with gold embroidery, and a black gauze hat with a round ruby inlaid on it, which was dazzling. He looked dashing and handsome, like a handsome young man who had stepped out of an ancient painting.
