During the wedding, the man would use a sedan chair carried by eight people to pick up the bride, which was a sign of great respect for the bride. The formal marriage was particularly solemn.
The eight bearers, dressed in uniform, walked with unison, carrying the sedan chair steadily forward. The sedan chair swayed slightly on their shoulders, but they always maintained their balance.
When the eight-man sedan chair appeared in the wedding procession, the whole scene was very lively. There were people beating drums and gongs in front, and playing suona. The music was very cheerful and the rhythm was very lively, which made the festive atmosphere very strong.
People around came over, talking and laughing. There were people on both sides of the sedan handing out wedding candies, stuffing them into everyone's hands as if they were free.
Blessings came one after another, and wedding candies also continued to flow in. It can be said that the wedding candies were almost sold out. Just for this day, everyone witnessed this wonderful moment together.
㳔 place, "get off the sedan chair"
Lu Junze carefully led his wife out, looking heroic and confident, like a general who had won a battle. He walked into the wedding scene with his wife amid the blessings of the hotel staff.
The venue was beautifully decorated with bright colors: Chinese red was the main color, with red carpets, curtains, and lanterns everywhere, and paired with gold and yellow decorations, like auspicious dragon and phoenix patterns, and Chinese characters for happiness, creating a strong festive atmosphere.
In the courtyard, red silk is wrapped around the beams under the green tiles and white walls, and bamboo shadows sway through the windows; bamboo lanterns lead the way beside the moon-shaped door, and the lanterns are inscribed with "There is joy in my family"; the central courtyard is equipped with a bamboo dome, and sunlight shines through the hollows to cast mottled light and shadows.
The guests have already found their seats. Everyone has a specially assigned seat, and even the media friends have their own exclusive seats.
When several media reporters saw the security guards show up and the important guests flash in, and the Lu family, the Shen family, and even Governor Xu couldn't wait to greet them, they suddenly felt that they were too narrow-minded.
Oh my god! Wow! Oh my god!
These are all living big shots whom they could hardly see even in their dreams. Even if they wanted to take pictures of them, they don’t have the courage!
At this moment, they suddenly realized that it was not that other people were making a big fuss, but that Shen Qinghuan and his wife were too low-key. It also made them realize that this Mrs. Lu was really extraordinary!
Governor Xu invited these important leaders directly to a private room upstairs. Because it was guarded by security, the others could not go up.
They smiled at each other, knowing clearly what they could and could not write. The other guests invited were still the same ones from the engagement. Although they had the experience of meeting important figures, seeing them all show up this time, and even a few more, they were still amazed at the ability and status of the young lady of the Lu family.
No wonder the Lu family treats her like a treasure. If it were them, they would have to worship her every day.
Looking at how Lu Junze decorated the entire wedding scene, it was so luxurious and solemn. Table after table was filled with the betrothal gifts that the Lu family had openly prepared for Shen Qinghuan, as well as the dowries brought by Shen Yu and the Xu family.
"The auspicious time has come," the master of ceremonies's loud voice cut through the noisy crowd: "The groom welcomes the bride."
Lu Junze walked steadily through the crowd and came in front of Shen Qinghuan. He stretched out his hand, tightly grasped the hand wrapped in red silk, and led her step by step to the front of the hall.
"Bow to Heaven and Earth——"
The two men turned around and kowtowed gently towards the skylight outside the door.
Shen Qinghuan silently said in her heart: "Thank you." It happened that at that moment the sun shone in particularly brightly, covering the newlyweds' heads.
"Two bows to the parents—"
The elders in the main seat had slightly red eyes. The two children finally got together after going through hardships, and they were sincerely happy for them.
"Husband and wife bow to each other—"
Lu Junze looked up and caught sight of the hazy light and shadow beneath the red veil. He bent slightly, and their foreheads touched lightly in mid-air. The surrounding noise instantly vanished, leaving only the mingling sounds of their breathing.
At the moment the ceremony was over, the dragon and phoenix candles crackled and burst into flames, and the master of ceremonies shouted at the top of his voice: "Send them to the bridal chamber—"
