A doctor who travels through two eras

The massive wedding procession of over a thousand people from Shilou Village soon arrived at the stone archway in Pingluo Village.

By this time, the entrance to Pingluo Village was already packed with people, and even many of the roadside trees were filled with people.

Although the eldest brother, Lin Pingyang, is a cadre, he stood at the front of the wedding procession today as a representative of the Lin clan and shook hands with Yin Dekang, the representative of the Yin clan of Pingluo Village.

Yin Dekang is also the director of a bureau in Huadu. The two are of similar status, which shows that Pingluo Village went to great lengths to prepare for the wedding.

After exchanging pleasantries with Yin Dekang, Lin Pingyang asked:

"Director Yin, when can we enter the village?"

Yin Dekang glanced at his watch, then said in a low voice, somewhat embarrassed:
“Director Lin, it’s not that I’m making things difficult for you, but our grandfather has repeatedly ordered that we must enter the village at 10:08, saying that this is an auspicious time. You know we don’t believe in this at all, but it’s hard to disobey the clan’s orders.”

Lin Pingyang glanced at his watch; it was only 9:38, and he still had a full half hour before he could enter the village.

This wedding procession of over a thousand people, with some carrying sedan chairs and others holding flags, is all physically demanding work.

In addition, the groom is still sitting on a horse, and the horse may not have the patience to wait for half an hour. If it gets angry, it will be troublesome.

Although there is no such thing as blocking marriages or making wedding pranks in Huadu, the clever Lin Pingyang immediately realized that this might be a way for Yin to give Lin a warning.

They deliberately made things difficult for the Lin family, or rather, made them stand outside Pingluo Village as punishment, so that the Lin family would lose face a little.

Realizing something was amiss, Lin Pingyang didn't make things difficult for Yin Dekang, since the other party was just a tool like him, with no decision-making power.

At this moment, Lin Yangping's eyes lit up, and after discussing it with the wedding planner Qu Xiaofeng, the two immediately came up with a solution.

The two bands at the front and back of the group were brought together and then began playing the Cantonese folk music piece "Step by Step Higher" right on the main road at the entrance of Pingluo Village.

Ding ding ding, the jingling music started, and it was lively and bustling.

Instantly, tens of thousands of citizens and tourists watching at the scene became excited.

The musicians in the wedding procession were all professional musicians from the Cantonese opera troupe, and their skill level was top-notch. Even in an outdoor, impromptu performance, they maintained a high standard.

After the performance ended, enthusiastic applause rang out at the entrance of Pingluo Village.

The musicians all stood up and bowed to the people around them in gratitude. They thoroughly enjoyed this novel performance style.

Next, several young actors from the Cantonese opera troupe, who were acting as performers, also took the stage to perform.

The young actors were dressed in ancient costumes, and their singing was completely natural. Their professional voices immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Those who know the story might think it's a wedding procession, but those who don't might mistake it for a traditional opera performance.

Seeing the tricks the Lin family had come up with, Yin Kangde knew that all his previous efforts to make things difficult for them had been in vain. So he smiled wryly and said to Lin Pingyang:

"Director Lin, alright, alright, let's stop this magical contest. The auspicious time has arrived, let's go greet the bride. Seeing all this gold, cash, and jewelry you're carrying, aren't you afraid of being robbed?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Pingyang also sighed:
"It's all because of your Grandpa Yin that we had to do this. Otherwise, who would want to flaunt their wealth? Oh, wait a minute, we haven't even sprinkled the wedding candy yet."

Yin Kangde thought that with so many people present, it was only right to sprinkle some wedding candy, so he smiled and said:

"Avoid stampedes; proceed with caution."

Officials always keep security in mind, and they dare not forget it even when handling personal matters.

Lin Pingyang was actually a little nervous, but today, with Shilou Village having the advantage of the east wind and Pingluo Village having the advantage of the west wind, he had no choice but to go all out.

At Lin Pingyang's signal, the emcee stood on the float and shouted through a loudspeaker:

"Next, it's time for the groom to hand out red envelopes. Whoever gets one will have good luck. But let's agree to be civilized when grabbing red envelopes. Please don't push and shove. Safety comes first."

Lin Sanqi then walked over and shouted to the thousands of onlookers:
"Please don't crowd. We're just here to share in the joy. Happiness comes first, and safety is our top priority."

“Okay~~~”

A cheer erupted from the crowd.

The locals in Huadu, including the tourists, are all well-off and don't care about a few measly coins. They just want to have fun and celebrate; nobody is really crazy enough to pick up money.

Especially for locals, the "lucky money" in Huadu has always been limited, and it's impossible to give too much, so people's expectations aren't that high.

Lin Sanqi, the groom, saw that everyone was ready, so he ran to the float and pressed a button that looked like a foam machine. Then, red envelopes flew out of the tubes like bubbles. The other five floats also launched at the same time, and tens of thousands of red envelopes flew into the crowd.

The scene instantly transformed into a sea of ​​joy. Even though each red envelope contained only 10 yuan, it was still a lucky charm.

Seeing that there was no chaos during the red envelope grabbing, Lin Yangping breathed a sigh of relief and felt a little smug. In this round, Shilou Village had beaten Pingle Village.

When the auspicious hour arrived, Lin Sanqi mounted his horse again, and the wedding procession continued towards the ancestral hall in the village.

The wedding procession should have gone to the bride's house, but the Yin family's house was in the center of the village, requiring them to walk through a series of narrow alleys, which was difficult even to drive an electric scooter normally.

When Lin Sanqi visited Yin Lianyi's house for the first time to offer New Year's greetings, she almost got lost and couldn't find her way.

The Lin family's wedding procession this time numbered over a thousand people, a massive undertaking that the Yin family's house could not possibly accommodate.

Because it concerned the reputation of the Yin clan, Grandpa Yin made an exception and allowed Yin Lianyi to marry out of the Yin family ancestral hall, which was the first time in a hundred years.

However, there's a condition: she can only use the side gate, not the main gate. This is the special treatment the daughter receives.

duang~~~duang~~~
As the Lin family's wedding procession approached with the sound of gongs and drums, a series of drumming and music suddenly rang out on the road passing the Yin family ancestral hall.

Thump thump thump~~~~
Dozens of large drums were struck simultaneously, producing a deafening sound.

Then a dozen or so lion dancers stood on both sides of the road and began to dance, instantly bringing the atmosphere to a second climax.

After reading it, Lin Yangping smiled and said to Lin Sanqi:

"The Yin family is unwilling to suffer any loss. Our band mainly consists of suona, erhu, and gong, but they brought a drum band, and the sound of their drumming completely drowned out our band."

Lin Sanqi said dismissively:

"It's okay. No matter how loud the knocking is, it's all to celebrate my wedding with Ayi. Whether it's an east wind or a west wind, it's still my wind, haha."

After the band and drum team met up, they walked together toward the ancestral hall.

When the musicians of the Cantonese Opera Troupe saw that someone had come to disrupt their performance, the band raised its volume even higher and put in all its effort.

This is no longer just a matter of the Lin family's face; it concerns the face of their Guangyue Cantonese Opera Troupe. A regular army can be overwhelmed by the Eighth Route Army.

The sounds of thumping and clanging filled the air, making the onlookers burst into laughter.

The TV reporters recorded everything, and they were equally delighted; this was all top-notch news material, no editing needed at all.

Finally, the wedding procession arrived at the entrance of the Yin Clan Ancestral Hall, and the sound of firecrackers began to crackle and pop incessantly.

The honor guard began to disperse in all directions, subtly surrounding the offering table at the entrance of the ancestral hall. Beyond that were the security personnel of Lingnan Hall and the outsourced security company, numbering over a thousand.

Because now is the time for the main event to begin.

Lin Sanqi remained seated on his Arabian horse. Lin Yangping, as the clan representative, stepped forward to greet Grandpa Yin and the other clan elders, clasping his hands in greeting.

“Grandpa, on behalf of the Lin family, I propose marriage to the Yin family and present our betrothal gifts.”

Grandpa Yin smiled and nodded: "Great!"

As the father-in-law, Yin Shengrong could only stand aside. There was nothing he could do; holding the wedding in the ancestral hall today was already giving his family enough face, and he didn't dare to act recklessly.

With a wave of his hand, Lin Yangping brought forward boxes of gold, cash, and precious gems, which were then piled on the offering table in order.

This is not a common part of weddings; at most, people will show the betrothal gifts or dowry to relatives and friends.

But this time, the Yin family wanted to save face, so Lin Sanqi directly used a tiny fraction of his wealth, displaying a ton of gold, nearly 200 million in cash, and jewelry and jade worth over 1 billion in the square for everyone to see.

Among them, a golden boy and a jade maiden carved from imperial green glass are particularly eye-catching.

These two items alone are worth over a billion yuan, far exceeding the amount that Grandpa Yin originally requested.

Once everything was set out, Grandpa Yin, all the clan elders, and Yin Shengrong's six brothers all came up to watch the ceremony. They all blushed and their hearts raced.

That's incredibly extravagant! (End of Chapter)
