"It's almost time! Don't miss the auspicious moment, let's get going!"
The Third Master glanced at his watch and squatted down in front of the bed.
"Come, Xiao Guo'er, let your uncle carry you out."
According to the rules, a girl should be carried out of the house by her brothers when she gets married, to show that she has the support of her family.
However, there is also a tradition in which the uncle carries the bride on his back to show the bride's favored status in the family, and also to warn the husband's family to treat the bride well.
The Third Master had been abroad for many years, but when it came to important matters, he was still very disciplined and traditional. Since none of the three Su brothers were present, he took it upon himself to take on the responsibility of betraying the bride.
Even if he had to carry the little princess of the Lan family on his back for the rest of her life, he would have no complaints! No one else could look down on her!
"Third uncle, how about I do it?"
The Third Master was old, and although he was still in good health, Tang Zhan, a strong man, felt a little sorry for him as he watched from the side.
"It's not like my Lan family doesn't have anyone!" The Third Master glanced at him, "You kid, stay by my side and protect me! Don't let those ignorant people bump into Xiao Guo'er again."
Although the Third Master's tone was serious, Lan Guoer felt warm in her heart.
Although traveling to another world was not her wish, she had no complaints as long as she met the elders who treated her like this.
"Third uncle, let's go!" Lan Guoer hugged his neck from behind, her crystal eyes filled with a smile.
"Bride, please stand up and may you have long-lasting good fortune!" The Third Master shouted and carried her on his back.
Tang Zhan followed him closely.
The bridesmaids, some holding their bags and some holding their skirts, also hurried to catch up.
Chen Lin led the groomsmen to rush forward to clear the way for them.
The sound of firecrackers popped again at the hotel entrance.
"What's in these mahogany boxes? Why are they still piled here?"
He Jiacong pointed at the large pile of mahogany boxes that were placed in the middle of the road when he came here, and frowned.
"What are bodyguards for? What's going on? Why haven't they been asked to move away? They're clearly in the way!"
As they arrived, the wedding car came in from the right side of the road.
According to the tradition that newlyweds do not go back, the wedding car should go out from the left side.
These mahogany boxes just happened to block the road.
Lan Guoer was carried out of the hotel gate by the Third Master, and was shocked at first sight by the bright red on the road!
Countless mahogany boxes, tied with bright red silk, covered most of the road ahead like dominoes.
"Oh my god! I couldn't see it clearly when I was upstairs just now. I just saw a piece of red! This...this can't be a dowry box?"
Potato's ancestors smuggled into Hong Kong from the mainland. When he was a child, he often heard the elders talk about the customs and experiences of the mainland.
I know that there is a tradition in mainland China of using wooden boxes to carry dowries, just like my grandmother's story about a wealthy family's daughter getting married, and her parents gave her a lot of dowry...
But this is the first time I’ve seen it with my own eyes!
I didn’t expect the scene to be so spectacular, even shocking!
But... isn't this a bit too much?! A box that stretches half the length of the street, how much stuff must be packed in it?
The Third Master put Lan Guoer into the car and waved to Amin who was not far away.
Suddenly, there was a "hissing" sound on the road, and then Amin raised his loud speaker and shouted,
"Today, the head of the Lan family is getting married, and the dowry is 108 loads!"
"Dowry? Are these all dowries?"
As soon as Amin started talking, the crowd became excited.
Although there were bodyguards guarding both sides of the road, both ends were still crowded with people watching the excitement.
Among them were reporters and photographers carrying lenses and flashes, constantly pressing the shutter button.
"Humph! Young Master Zhou Er's new wife is really good at being mysterious and trying to flatter herself!"
Qiu Yinghui, the third son of the Qiu family, learned that his second brother suffered a great loss at the Zhou family last night, so he took the opportunity to make trouble for the second son today.
"You think you can fool people by putting a bunch of boxes like this? What a joke! Who knows what's in them? They can't be all toilet paper, right? Hahaha, hahaha~"
The others looked at the box in front of them and couldn't help but whisper.
"That's right! Even if all these boxes were filled with food, it would be enough for the whole family to eat for a lifetime! How far behind must this woman be to be able to afford such a large dowry!"
"Who knows, it's just for show! After all, even if the box is empty, we can't see it, right?"
"That's really just a show of force! You said the Zhou family doesn't need her at all, so why would she act like a toad with a feather duster and pretend to be so powerful? And she's the head of the Lan family? Humph, I think she comes from a humble family and is petty at heart!"
......
Listening to the discussions behind him, Tang Zhan glared at them and everyone fell silent instantly.
At this time, the loudspeaker spoke again, "The dowry list is as follows. Please ask the man's manager to come forward and open the box for inspection."
Although Zhou Jingrui could not go up to greet the bride as the best man, there were many people involved, so he brought his butler along just in case.
Hearing the shout, the two men got out of the car and strode forward.
A Ming pointed to the ten mahogany boxes in front and announced loudly,
"Ten boxes of gold, may the mistress and her husband have a love stronger than gold, and live in harmony and happiness!"
As his words fell, the crowd gasped!
"What?! Is there something wrong with my ears? Gold? Ten boxes of it!"
"Humph!" Young Master Qiu sneered, "She's really becoming more and more shameless! A box containing half a tael of gold is also called a box? Who knows if she has half a tael in this box?"
He Jiacong rolled his eyes at him and said, "If you open your eyes and look, you'll know! Didn't you see Young Master Zhou unpacking the box?"
