August 15th is an auspicious day for marriage, and it is also the wedding day of Hua Qingcheng and Mu Lige.
The original "six rituals" of marriage, namely, Nacai, Wenming, Naji, Nazheng, Qingqi, and Qinying, would take at least a year and a half to complete. However, since Mu Lige's family members were not at home, the process could only be shortened to the final step of Qinying.
At the hour of Mao, Mu Lige was woken by her father, Ye Maochun. She washed up first, then showered and shampooed her hair. After showering and wringing her hair dry, Mu Lige changed into her bright red wedding dress.
People feel refreshed when they are happy. Mu Lige, who usually likes to wear white clothes, is handsome and elegant. Mu Lige, who wears black clothes, is cold and aloof. But today, Mu Lige, against the backdrop of bright wedding clothes, is full of energy.
For some, bright red is too gaudy, but on Mu Lige, it possesses a unique charm. In her red wedding gown, Mu Lige is not only vibrant and energetic, but also exudes a subtle air of nobility in her every move.
At the time of Chen, Xu Qingchuan, the husband of the clan leader Hua Zhengfeng, as a lucky man, had been invited to Mu Lige's room by Hua's father Ye Maochun.
"Come, Li Ge, sit down. Uncle will help you." Xu Qingchuan looked at Mu Li Ge with a kind face.
"Open your face?"
Mu Lige was slightly surprised. After all, in Zhaoyang Country, this was something only women would do. In Laifeng Country, he really didn't know what the men here would do after opening their faces.
"It means twisted noodles. It means that from now on you are no longer a boy, but a husband." Xu Qingchuan explained patiently to Mu Lige.
Although Mu Lige and Hua Qingcheng held a make-up wedding, they still had to go through the necessary procedures for a wedding ceremony.
Xu Qingchuan took out a box of powder, two pieces of thread and an eyebrow tweezer from the small wooden box he brought with him.
He first took a headscarf to wrap Mu Lige's hair, then put some powder on his face, and then took out the red double thread.
After forming the string into three ends, Xu Qingchuan pulled one end with each hand, keeping the string stretched between his hands. He then bit the other end with his mouth and pulled it apart, forming a "cross" shape. As his hands moved up and down, the red double string sometimes separated and sometimes joined.
Mu Lige felt a sharp pain when the thread touched his face, nearly bringing tears to his eyes several times, but it was still bearable. Xu Qingchuan used the "three-thread technique" to remove all the hair on Mu Lige's face and neck, and trimmed his sideburns.
After about a quarter of an hour, the pain on Mu Lige's face finally subsided. Xu Qingchuan had originally planned to trim Mu Lige's eyebrows, but seeing that his eyebrows were perfectly shaped, he gave up the idea. Mu Lige was finally freed from the feeling of being tortured.
After the facial surgery, Mu Lige's face was radiant and her complexion was as beautiful as Shunhua, which made Xu Qingchuan stunned. He had always known that Mu Lige was good-looking, but he didn't expect her to be so stunning.
After making the twisted noodles, Xu Qingchuan combed Mu Lige's hair while saying auspicious words.
"Comb your hair once to the top of your head, and you won't have to worry about wealth and prosperity; comb your hair twice to the bottom of your head, and your gray hair will reach your eyebrows; comb your hair three times to a house full of children and grandchildren, and you will be blessed with a long life."
Mu Lige's long hair was black and shiny, draped leisurely over her shoulders, and a wooden comb combed it smoothly from head to toe.
After saying the auspicious words, Xu Qingchuan tied Mu Lige's black hair up high and secured it with a large red headband. The gorgeous headband echoed with Mu Lige's beautiful wedding dress, showing a joyful mood.
Xu Qingchuan originally wanted to put makeup on Mu Lige, but seeing Mu Lige's natural beauty, he was afraid that he would overdo it, so he just lightly applied a little lipstick red.
At around six quarters past three in the morning, the groom Mu Lige was already ready and was waiting in the newly decorated room with a big red wedding character on it, waiting for Hua Qingcheng to come and pick him up.
As for the bride, Hua Qingcheng was also woken up by Situ Ye around 12:00 AM and similarly washed, bathed, and shampooed. After Han Yichen wrung Hua Qingcheng's hair dry, Yu Xiaotian helped her change into a festive bridal gown.
Hua Qingcheng's wedding dress and Mu Lige's wedding gown were specially made by Yu Xiaotian for husband and wife. They were also made of red satin embroidered with gold patterns, but the wedding dress was a little more complicated.
The top is a bright red tube top embroidered with a soaring phoenix, layered over a narrow-sleeved bright red open-fronted blouse, a waist-length pleated skirt of the same color, and a bright red satin ribbon around the waist. The sleeves and lapels are embroidered with peonies, the stitching is meticulous and the workmanship is very exquisite.
"My dear wife, you are so beautiful!"
Yu Xiaotian blushed as he looked at Hua Qingcheng in her bridal gown, and exclaimed in admiration. His words immediately resonated with Situ Ye, Han Yichen, and Si Chengfeng, who all nodded in agreement.
"Clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. This is all thanks to you, Xiaotian!" Hua Qingcheng raised the corners of her mouth and praised Yu Xiaotian generously, which made his ears blush.
"Come, my wife, I will put your coat on for you."
Like Mu Lige's wedding dress, Hua Qingcheng's wedding dress also has a wide-sleeved, straight-hem outer robe.
The outer robe's lapels are embroidered with delicate peonies, while the sleeves are embroidered with auspicious clouds in gold thread, echoing the soaring phoenix on the bodice, creating a majestic and beautiful look. The back of the robe is embroidered with a striking phoenix playing with peonies, radiating an air of prosperity and peace.
Hua Qingcheng was in high spirits as she looked at the exquisitely crafted bridal gown. She looked at Yu Xiaotian with admiration. Just based on his craftsmanship, if he were in modern times, his clothes would definitely be made to order at a high-end private boutique that would be impossible to arrange.
"Wife, there is another cloud shoulder. I will help you put it on."
Once Hua Qingcheng put on the cloud shoulder bag embroidered with auspicious clouds and flying phoenixes in gold thread, she looked very dignified and elegant.
Then Yu Xiaotian helped Hua Qingcheng change into a pair of exquisitely crafted bright red Xiuhe shoes. The shoe bodies were embroidered with phoenixes playing with peonies, and the toes were decorated with colorful beads. She looked very beautiful when she walked, and there was a sense of elegance in her grandeur.
