Sorolla looked at Shen He silently. Although Shen He had not put on her wedding dress yet, today was her special day and she had a certain aura of a protagonist... That was great.
After the makeup was done, the makeup artist wiped the sweat from her forehead and gave some instructions on how to be careful so as not to ruin the makeup she had worked so hard to put on.
Shen He agreed. She was originally wearing a single lining, which made it convenient for her to change into the wedding dress. The next step was to take the wedding dress out of the closet and put it on.
Qi Liangliang was clumsy and afraid of tearing it. Barbara was from Mond, so she didn't know how to wear a Liyue wedding dress... Only the makeup lady could help. Shen He had worn it once before, and only showed it to his master.
She wore a phoenix coronet, a red gown with wide sleeves, a jacket, a red silk skirt, and embroidered shoes. The clothes were woven with gold and embroidered with phoenix patterns. This well-cut wedding dress fit Shen He's figure well, and the colorful embroidery made her look like a fairy concubine.
The wedding dress was designed and tailored by Xianyun. She was actually good at these handicrafts. When her apprentice got married, the wedding dress had to be made by herself.
To this end, Xianyun read a large amount of ancient books and materials, took the time to sneak a peek at a few Liyue weddings, and finally completed it after a month of hard work.
Nilu, Barbara and the others gathered around and looked at the incredibly beautiful Shen He. They subconsciously kept their distance, fearing that getting close would tarnish this beauty.
"How is it?" Shen He asked his friends before looking in the mirror.
"Very beautiful!" Qi Liangliang raised his hand.
"It makes me want to hold a Liyue-style wedding, and wear such a beautiful wedding dress like you." Dina Zedai smiled, "The prerequisite is that I have to find a boyfriend first."
"Can I touch it?" Barbara asked longingly.
"Of course." Shen He would not refuse such a thing. Instead, he felt that his friend approved of the wedding dress.
Everyone carefully touched the silk of their wedding dresses. They were all unmarried, had never been in love, and marriage was even more of a distant thing.
Shen He was the only one among them who was in love and married, and she had done both.
The fabric used for the wedding dress is not ordinary. Even for Xianyun, it took him a lot of effort to collect it. It feels smooth and is not stained by dust.
Even an ordinary-looking girl will look beautiful and charming when wearing it, let alone the beautiful Shen He?
She was definitely the most beautiful woman there.
Once there was nothing to do, Shen He began to realize that the wedding procession was on the way. She couldn't help feeling excited and nervous, so she chose to chat with the bridesmaids to relieve the tension.
In fact, Shen He was absent-minded. She was talking incoherently. Suddenly, Hu Tao rushed in and shouted excitedly.
"coming!!"
For a moment, the boudoir was plunged into chaos.
On the other side, Lin Ye greeted the immortals Xianyun, Xieyue and others one by one with a sincere attitude.
Xianyun thought of Xiaojin's sake, and several other elders were happy for the happy couple, so they did not make things difficult for Lin Ye. They handed the venue to the young man and went to the Lin Mansion first.
The people who should embarrass Lin Ye are Shen He’s army of close friends.
Walnut led the group, with Barbara and Qiliangliang as assistants, and they were aggressive, with Nel, Dina Zedai, Noelle, Solora and others following, blocking Lin Ye's way to Shenhe's boudoir.
These smiling girls not only asked for red envelopes as thick as bricks, but also wanted Lin Ye to write poems and answer riddles. They were so greedy.
Putting aside how Lin Ye responded cleverly and skillfully one by one, he knew Hu Tao's temperament too well, so how could he be unprepared and unarmed?
Furthermore, Lin Ye also has his own family and friends, such as Xingqiu and El Haisen who played minor roles. Chongyun is from his mother's family and was isolated...
In short, Lin Ye’s relatives and friends are all talented people with a lot of knowledge, and the “difficulties” carefully planned by Hu Tao are not difficult for them.
Even if Walnut's angle is tricky, we can send out the intelligent Seno, so why worry about not winning?
Half an hour later, Hu Tao was defeated unwillingly. The remaining Barbara, Qi Liangliang and others were just small fry, and Lin Ye resolved them one by one while chatting and laughing.
Among them, a certain witch lady is the most minor one, and it is not difficult to conquer her.
After passing one level after another, victory was in sight. Lin Ye's expression was wanton and wild. He left the battlefield to his relatives and friends who were fighting fiercely, and came to Shen He's boudoir alone. At this time, he became reserved again and knocked on the door politely.
"Please come in."
Shen He's voice came from the door, trembling.
Lin Ye pushed the door open and saw a girl sitting obediently on the edge of the bed, wearing a phoenix crown, a bridal robe and a red veil on her head. He was attracted by her bright and charming figure and recognized her as Shen He at first glance.
"I am coming."
Lin Ye sat next to Shen He, held her hand and spoke softly.
"Um…"
The atmosphere was silent.
After a while, Shen He couldn't help but ask.
"what happened?"
"I'm thinking whether I should just carry you back."
When Shen He heard this, she recalled the scene and her body trembled. She clenched Lin Ye's big hand to express her dissatisfaction.
"It's just a joke," Lin Ye smiled, stood up without letting go of Shen He's hand, and whispered softly, "So, Ah He, are you ready to go with me?"
"Yeah." Shen He didn't hesitate at all.
Lin Ye walked out of the room slowly, holding Shen He's hand. Seeing this, Hu Tao and others who were fighting with the man's relatives and friends were all stunned, and then they smiled like aunties.
Miss Witch also smiled faintly, not knowing what she was thinking.
To describe Shen He and Lin Ye at this moment in one sentence——
The people on the road are like jade, and the gentlemen are like no other in the world.
Shen He was carefully sent to the sedan chair carried by eight people. Lin Ye, who was on horseback, waved goodbye to Hu Tao and the others with great vigor, and told them to remember to come to the Lin Mansion to watch the wedding ceremony after packing up.
The ceremonial carriage returned home with suona music playing.
She went to the Xiaogong with her girlfriends. She rode a horse, carried modified fireworks on her back, held a gun-barreled salute in her hand, and happily scattered colored eggs into the sky. Wuhu took off.
The old custom is to pour a basin of water behind the sedan chair, which means that a daughter who is married off is like water poured out.
Xianyun felt melancholy, and thought about going to Xiaojin to learn more about mechanical arts, and also to visit the child Shenhe.
After a while, it was getting late and it was already dusk.
Marriage, marriage and marriage are the time periods for marriage in ancient times.
When the groom brings the bride back, he has to go through several procedures, such as touching an orange and jumping over a fire basin. Each custom symbolizes a happy marriage in the future.
After some twists and turns, we finally arrived at the wedding hall.
Next, is the most important gift of the whole wedding——
Get married in the hall.
There is an altar with a tablet of Emperor Yanwang on it, and a curtain of ancestral gods is hung behind the altar.
Lin Xiaofeng and Mu Xiaojin sat on both sides, and the wedding hall was surrounded by guests.
After the bride and groom are in place, they are led by male and female guests to perform the ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows to pay homage to heaven and earth, ancestors and parents.
Then the woman stands to the east and the man stands to the west, and they bow to each other as husband and wife.
The best men, also known as the bridesmaid and groomsman, appear as "Yinzan" and "Tongzan" respectively.
The maid of honor is undoubtedly Hu Tao, and the best man is Xingqiu. At first, it was the big boss who had just been released from prison. This guy refused to agree for fear of messing up. In desperation, he had to find the chivalrous Xingqiu. He suggested that Chongyun dress up as a woman and be the maid of honor. Both Chongyun and Hu Tao were anxious.
Lin Ye doesn’t have many male friends. Why is that?
The purpose of Yinzan Tongzan is to open the worship ceremony, which is followed by the popular three worships.
A worship of heaven and earth.
One bow, respecting the heaven, the match is made in heaven;
Two bows, respecting the land, and tying the knot;
Bow three times to respect heaven and earth.
Two worship the high hall.
Bow and express gratitude to your parents for their upbringing, which is as heavy as a mountain;
Bow twice, wishing parents a happy family life and longevity;
Bow three times, praying for harmony and happiness for the whole family.
Husband and wife bow to each other.
A bow, a single heart, a deep love;
Two bows, two mutual wishes, the best of both worlds;
Three bows, three lives of good fortune, and eternal love.
Lin Ye once watched couples getting married on TV, but he didn't feel involved in the wedding. Weddings at that time were generally Western-style. Even if they were not, he would need a girlfriend to feel involved.
After three bows and nine kowtows, Lin Ye's heart was in turmoil. He had gone through all the storms and waves, and he wanted to remain calm, but it was hard to do so on such a happy day.
Any eagle-like man would become pretentious when he gets married with the woman he loves and receives blessings from relatives and friends.
While bowing, Lin Ye stole a glance at Shen He, curious about her expression underneath the red veil, but unfortunately he couldn't see it.
Lin Ye took the marriage letter handed over by Zhenjun Xueyue Zhuyang who had transformed into a human form. It was one of the three letters and a love letter written to the girl. He read it aloud in front of everyone.
"I am glad that the red rope has been tied today, and it is a perfect match."
"I predict that we will grow old together, with the fragrance of osmanthus and orchid."
“This is the certificate.”
Everyone applauded and congratulated the newlyweds on their everlasting love and long lasting happiness together.
After the worship ceremony, the banquet will begin.
Shen He was led into the bridal chamber by the bridesmaids, while Lin Ye socialized with the guests who came to the wedding. Today the groom could not refuse any toasts.
The banquet was held in Xinyuexuan, which was not a private room. The venue was spacious. The night sky was dust-free and the moonlight was bright.
Lin Ye asked everyone to take the carriage and move on, while some people waited there first.
Crescent Moon Pavilion.
There were sixty-eight tables in total, all occupied by distinguished guests.
There were many foreign friends attending the banquet, and at first glance, it looked like an international event.
The previous gift-giving session really shocked the local guests who were unaware of the situation, and they even felt at a loss.
Let’s first talk about the local forces in Liyue. The most prestigious ones are the Liyue Seven Stars who participate in the governance of the country. Compared with them, the other forces are second-rate, so I won’t go into details.
Well, on the day of Lin Ye’s wedding, two of the Seven Stars, Tianquan Star and Yuheng Star, came to the banquet personally with gifts.
The other seven stars who were unable to arrive due to official business also asked someone to deliver the message on their behalf.
Back in Mond, an envoy from the Knights of Favonius came to visit, and the captain of the cavalry squad, Kaia, brought a handwritten letter from the acting captain, expressing his blessings for Lin Ye and Shen He's marriage and his regret for not being able to attend.
Those who traveled with Kaia included librarian Lisa, scout knight captain Amber, and guerrilla squad leader Eula.
Among Mond’s guests are Albedo, Klee, Mona and others.
Speaking of Inazuma, the long-rumored Princess Shirasagi among the shrine magistrates represents the will of the shogun Raiden and expresses her friendship with Hayashino in an official manner, and the same is true for the current human god priestess, the ruler of Umijima.
The fox fairy priest of Mingjin Taisha Shrine presented him with a consecrated treasure, and Yingxiang Tengu gave him a heirloom inscribed knife.
Monsters such as Tengu and Oni often appear in Inazuma's group.
It didn't end there, as many well-known and powerful figures, including the Xumi National Religious Academy and the newly emerged alliance in the desert, showed up at the wedding to offer congratulations and gifts.
The guests from Mondstadt, Liyue, Inazuma, and Xumi are extremely distinguished.
It is said that they are friends made by the groom. It is really scary and caught some older generations off guard. They could only sigh that there are always talented people emerging in every generation.
In comparison, the guests from Fontaine, Natta and Zhidong were a bit ordinary, but to ordinary people, they were still big shots.
Lin Xiaofeng and Mu Xiaojin were also surprised by the connections their son had accumulated outside, and it felt unreal.
In the eyes of parents, they don’t care much about their children’s achievements, but whether they eat well, sleep well, and care about their health when they are away.
Some people reasonably speculated that today's wedding was comparable to the wedding of the century, the most grand one in all of Liyue, and no other newlyweds could bring along so many dignitaries.
You know, this is an "ordinary" wedding, not some national festival, but many governments have appointed envoys to offer congratulations.
In fact, the exaggeration goes far beyond this.
Lin Ye was arranged to sit at a separate table. There were not many seats, but the position was prestigious enough, which showed how much the host valued him.
Zhongli glanced at Lin Ye who was busy socializing, then looked at the guests at this table.
Barbatos, the god of wind, was drinking heavily. He argued that he had no talent for drinking and that he would perform later.
