Chapter 444 Wang Taisheng's Happy Life (Second update, please subscribe)
The influence of civilization is mutual. Whether willing or not, when the Chinese brought Chinese civilization to South America and influenced the locals, the Latin civilization of South America was also influencing South China and the lives of the Chinese.
The Palace of Happiness is the result of the mutual influence of civilizations. Long before the South China entered Chile, many Chinese immigrants married Latino wives, who generally believed in Catholicism and whose weddings were often held in churches. However, their husbands did not believe in Catholicism.
In order to avoid converting to Catholicism for the wedding, Zhu Xianhai decisively drew on Damao's experience - building the Palace of Happiness in the City Hall as a place specifically for formal registration and wedding ceremonies.
Therefore, the Palace of Happiness became the characteristic of Nanhua.
Like all cities, Buenos Aires also has a Palace of Happiness, a beautifully decorated palace that was once the seat of the city council. In the past few months, couples have been getting married here on almost every good day of the lunar calendar.
Today is a good day. Early in the morning, teams of soldiers and officers in formal attire came to the Palace of Happiness. They were all the grooms' comrades-in-arms.
The groom, Wang Taisheng, seemed a little nervous, as it was his first time getting married!
"Don't be nervous, Wang Shangbing. Everything is ready. It's your turn next. The ceremony will begin soon."
"Squad leader, why are you so nervous? This is a rare event!"
Facing the ridicule of his comrades, Wang Taisheng did not understand them and just looked at his watch from time to time:
"We only have 15 minutes. There will be several couples coming to register later. I have to give the place back to them. Is everyone ready?"
"Squad leader, leave it to me!"
Deputy squad leader Lin Yu turned around and went to organize the team.
"Where's the bride?"
"In the dressing room."
Sitting in the dressing room, Angela, wearing a beautiful wedding dress, never thought that she would marry someone else so soon.
For ordinary people, life always goes on.
The same is true for Angela. Three months ago, she and Wang Taisheng became lovers. And now, she is going to be his wife. This is because of love and the child in her belly.
In fact, when she first met him, she didn't think that she would marry him. At that time, she thought he was a gentleman who would blush and be shy. He was coy but not direct. She could feel the love and desire in his eyes, and all this gave her a long-lost heartbeat.
In the end, she still sank into his tenderness. Gently touching her belly, Angela smiled.
"Kasanth, I'm sorry..."
After silently apologizing to her ex-husband whose whereabouts were unknown, she stood up.
"Angela, you must be the most beautiful bride today!"
Anna's praise made her smile.
"One day you will become the most beautiful bride."
Accompanied by Anna, Angela walked to the wedding hall, and outside the door she saw Wang Taisheng and his comrades standing there. The heroic young soldiers were wearing majestic and handsome green uniforms with dazzling tassels, and they all wore sabers around their waists.
“Angela!”
Wang Taisheng walked up to her and gave her the flowers in his hand.
"You are so beautiful today."
The passionate and obsessed gaze of her lover made Angela's face filled with a happy smile.
"You are very handsome, too."
At this time, beautiful and joyful music came from the wedding hall.
To the melody of "Wedding March", Angela held flowers in her hand and took Wang Taisheng's arm. Surrounded by people and guided by the wedding host, they walked into the hall of Happiness Palace on the red carpet.
All the people participating in the ceremony gathered there, with the host and the bride and groom in the middle, and the best men standing on the left and right. Everyone had a smile on their face. When the music stopped, the host - Lin Jie, the mayor of Buenos Aires, presided over the wedding for the newlyweds, which was the mayor's duty.
After Lin Jie announced the start of the ceremony, he asked a few questions as usual, such as whether you truly love each other and whether you are willing to get married.
The answer is of course affirmative, and then at the host's suggestion, the bride and groom signed the marriage certificate.
The best man and best man handed over the wedding ring. That small ring was also the result of the mutual influence of civilizations. After all, in the Chinese tradition, rings were not considered as tokens of love. However, influenced by Latin culture, wedding rings became quite popular in South China.
When Wang Taisheng put the ring on his wife's finger, he was not careless at all, and even the smile on his face disappeared. According to European customs, if the ring is accidentally dropped on the ground during the wedding, it will be an unlucky sign.
When Wang Taisheng carefully put the ring on Angela's finger, all the guests watched them quietly. When they saw the bride and groom put the wedding rings on each other's fingers, warm cheers immediately rang out in the wedding hall.
Amid the cheers of the people, the bride and groom still have to worship heaven and earth. Here, the Chinese wedding customs are also perfectly integrated into it.
"Congratulations, Nanhua has one more happy family!"
After the newlyweds paid respects to heaven and earth, Lin Jie, as the mayor, once again congratulated them. This congratulation was from the bottom of his heart. It was not just a happy family. For Nanhua, every newlywed couple meant that a child would be born in the coming year. For the country and the nation, those children were the future. They were the future of China's survival on this land.
As the mayor, he certainly takes these very seriously. Not only does he, but even Zhu Xianhai takes them very seriously. That is why he requires these mayors to preside over the wedding of the Palace of Happiness. This is to compete with those priests for the right to speak, and more importantly, it shows an attitude - the government attaches great importance to it.
What is the reason for this high attention from the government? It is the attention paid to the future! Only people are the future, without people everything is just empty talk!
The wedding at the Happiness Palace had just begun. After the wedding, Wang Taisheng picked up his wife. Surrounded by the crowd and under the saber arch of his comrades in front of the door, he carried his wife into the carriage.
They will also go to the hotel, where the banquet will last for a long time, with people singing and dancing, and there will also be the most traditional wedding banquet. Chinese traditions and Latin customs are being integrated here in a clever way, just like the newlyweds.
All of this is not magical at all in this land. After all, even Latin culture is deeply influenced by Indian culture, and even the backward Indian culture has been integrated into Latin culture. Now these civilizations are just blending with each other in this land...
