Seeker of Teyvat

When you enter, you bow and give way, and then ascend, you obey the orders of the temple, and you bow and greet you outside the door. When you enter, you bow and give way, and you ascend, and you obey the orders of the temple, so you should be respectful, careful, and observant..."

Listening to the "Book of Rites" from Zhongli's mouth, Wang Daoyi nodded slightly.

"Leave it to Liu Yun and the others to write the three books, which will be enough to carry your luck."

Three books are three betrothals, so three betrothals and six rites are also called three books and six rites.

The "three letters" refer to the documents used in the "six rites" process, including letters of appointment, letters of etiquette and letters of welcome.

"Six etiquette" refers to the entire marriage process from proposal to marriage, that is, six etiquette methods, including accepting, asking for names, accepting, accepting, asking for dates, and welcoming.

Letter of appointment: It is the document of engagement. When a man and a woman enter into a marriage contract, the man's family will give the letter of engagement to the woman's family.

Rite book: It is a document that needs to be used when giving a big gift. It mainly lists the items and quantities of the big gift.

Welcoming letter: It is the document for marrying the bride. It is the document that the man gives to the woman when she comes to marry the bride.

In fact, when Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling got engaged, the engagement letter had already been issued, and Zhongli helped arrange it at that time.

Now that there are still ritual books and welcome books, Zhongli, as the organizer, naturally cannot handle it all by himself, so he leaves it to a few immortals, who are enough to carry Wang Daoyi's luck.

"As for the matter of acceptance, we need a matchmaker to come to our door. Uncle Tian came here and told us to leave this matter to him."

As the saying goes, "The orders of parents are the words of matchmakers."

The first step in the Six Rites is to accept the offer. Normally, the offer should be accepted first and then the letter of engagement is issued. However, Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling got engaged first, so the steps were naturally changed.

"Uncle Tian? Yes. As a Tianshu star, Uncle Tian has high morals and high prestige. He deserves to be the matchmaker." Wang Daoyi was very satisfied with this arrangement.

Zhongli nodded slightly: "As for [Dian Yan], Liu Yun said she would prepare it for you."

[Dianyan] is the first step in the ceremony, because the wild goose represents loyalty, yin and yang, and harmony. After the completion of the ceremony, the wild goose needs to be released, otherwise it will be unlucky.

Wang Daoyi's mouth twitched slightly, and Liu Yun asked Feng Zhenjun to help find Dayan. This was... unexpectedly reasonable.

Zhongli smiled slightly and continued to explain the process to Wang Daoyi.

After the acceptance, it is time to ask for the name. As the name suggests, the name asking means asking the woman's name and birthday; both parties' horoscopes match.

Then enters the Najib stage, which mainly involves telling the woman the result of the name inquiry, giving gifts but not betrothal gifts, and issuing a marriage certificate. This process also requires a funeral ceremony.

These two steps were also disrupted by Wang Daoyi and Xiang Ling's engagement, but Zhongli rearranged it, canceled some steps, and retained the name change, gift giving, marriage certificate, and memorial ceremony.

Then came the tax collection.

Most of the six million molas prepared by Wang Daoyi will be used here.

"One mountain of gold, five mountains of silver, fifty pieces of cloud satin, five hundred pieces of silk, what do you think of this betrothal gift?"

Zhongli looked at Wang Daoyi.

Needless to say, Jinshan and Yinshan are all made of gold and silver, and are hills half as tall as a man.

Although Teyvat uses mola as its currency, gold and silver are precious metals.

The gold was originally part of Mora's construction.

Silver is also often used in various alchemical circles and weapon castings.

As for cloud satin, it is the best silk satin in Liyue, and Liyue's annual output is only fifty pieces.

Silk is Liyue's face product. Five hundred pieces is not a lot, but it is definitely eye-catching.

Wang Daoyi nodded lightly: "It's fine if the emperor makes the decision."

"As I said before, the due date is on the 15th after March. Remember to leave enough time."

The date of application is to choose a good day to get married, and the date has been set beforehand.

Wang Daoyi counted the days, and it was probably half a month before the Hai Lantern Festival.

"No problem, I haven't had much to do recently. I have enough time." Wang Daoyi replied.

"As for the personal welcome, will you use an eight-carat sedan chair or something else?"

The personal welcome was the most helpless part for Wang Daoyi.

To put it simply, the groom personally goes to the bride’s home to pick up the bride.

Most people can just use a sedan to take them back.

But Wang Daoyi... It's not that he doesn't have a home, but he really doesn't have a permanent place to live.

You can't take him back to Red Sand Temple from Liyue.

As for the Pier Tea Room…

Not to mention that Wang Daoyi had already decided to give it to Sisi. Even the small space of the teahouse was not worthy of the many previous projects.

Finally, Master Mao and Zhongli discussed it and decided that since the wedding banquet would be held in the Qun Yu Pavilion, the wedding reception should also be held there.

Anyway, Ningguang had no objection and was very happy instead.

With this set, Qun Yu Pavilion can be considered as half of Wang Daoyi’s home.

"I do have a group of alien dragon lizards under my command. How about using them to carry the sedan chair?" Wang Daoyi suddenly had an idea.

Zhongli's hand holding the teacup froze for a moment, then he glared at Wang Daoyi: "...nonsense."

Zhongli values ​​etiquette and law, which is a contract between ancient people and modern people.

Although it is not a rigid adherence to the tradition, using a dragon lizard to pick up the bride is still considered unorthodox.

Without waiting for Wang Dao to speak, Zhongli said, "The Qianyan Army has some real tall horses. Go back and borrow them."

Wang Dao curled his lips. He thought that dragon lizards were better because they were both majestic and obedient.

However, under Zhongli's gaze, Wang Daoyi nodded and said, "I'll go find Panlie. It's easy to borrow a horse."

"Well, that's all you need to do. Once your Mora is delivered, Master Mao and I will start making arrangements."

"Okay." Wang Dao nodded.

All he did throughout the day was nod.

Like most men, I have no say in matters like this, so I just have to listen to the arrangements.

"As for the wedding invitations, if you have a close relationship with them, you can just deliver them yourself. But for some special people who are not your close relationship, you still have to follow the etiquette." Zhongli gave another reminder.

The royal way is clear.

For those who have a good relationship with them, such as Xingqiu and Chongyun, it would naturally be Wang Daoyi or Xiangling who would send the wedding invitations herself.

But there are also some people who are not too close to each other but have a special status.

For example, Yae Shinko, Captain Qin, and Uncle Lu, those who are familiar but not closely associated with each other, need to send someone to deliver wedding invitations.

Then there are some people with special status, such as Barbatos, Baalzebub, and even the Supreme Judge of Fontaine.

Their status is difficult to define, but it seems unreasonable to say that Wang Daoyi did not invite them.

After all, what happens after [Deceiving the Heaven] may require cooperation with them.

"As for relatives and friends, Xiangling and I will go and see them off. As for those who are farther away, I will send someone to go. As for them... I will go by myself."

Zhongli didn't express his opinion, just nodded.

"Then there's nothing to worry about. Go away."

He brought the tea and saw the guest off.

Wang Daoyi naturally would not stay shamelessly. He wiped the stone table with his dirty little hands, took a bag of tea from Zhongli, and left humming the latest ditty from Yunhan Society.

Zhongli:……

After leaving Zhongli's courtyard, I didn't see Master Hu. I heard from Master Buguachi that Master Hu had been out on business these days and usually came back around dinner time.

After seeing Hu Tao’s arrangement, Wang Daoyi did not stay in the Hall of Rebirth any longer and went directly back to the Hall of All People.

As usual, he fought for the whole afternoon, got Master Mao drunk at dinner, and after washing up, he went to Xiangling's room.

"Besides the relatives and friends that your uncle will invite, who are the people you are planning to invite?"

Holding Xiangling's soft body in his arms, one hand gently stroking her smooth back, Wang Daoyi leaned over to Xiangling's ear and whispered.

Xiangling was lying on Wang Daoyi's body with her eyes closed and her eyelashes trembling slightly. She was enjoying the caress of her lover. When she suddenly heard this question, she was stunned.

It took him a while to react: "I think I only have good friends like Yunjin, Xinyan and the others...oh, and Diona!"

Xiangling’s social circle is not that wide. Apart from a few young holders of the Eye of God in Liyue, there is also Diona from Mondstadt.

As for Grandma Ping, she is an elder and should be invited by Master Mao.

"In that case, I have already given the invitations to Xingqiu, Chongyun and Hutao. I will give the wedding invitations to you later and you can give them to whoever you want." Wang Daoyi said softly.

"Eh?" Xiangling raised her head slightly, "Aren't you going with me to see it off?"

Wang Daoyi raised his hand slightly and rubbed Xiangling's hair. It was also magical. Although they were doing a mundane business, Xiangling's hair quality was unexpectedly good.

Not only is it smooth, it is also long and the color is rich.

"I also have to deliver wedding invitations. For some friends who are far away, I will send people to deliver them. The same goes for Diona. In addition, there are some people with special identities, and I have to deliver them personally."

"Oh." Xiangling nodded as if she understood, then buried her little face in Wang Daoyi's chest again.

……

Early the next morning,

A sign saying "Closed" was hung at the entrance of Wanmin Hall.

Master Mao is going to Yujingtai to discuss the banquet at Qunyu Pavilion.

Xiangling was going to send wedding invitations to her friends, and she also brought some rice crusts.

And Wang Daoyi is also going on a long journey.

So there was no one at Wanmin Hall and it naturally closed down.

After bidding farewell to Xiangling and Master Mao, Wang Daoyi left Liyue Harbor, found a corner, and opened the underground channel.

Mondstadt, Windrise

A huge tree stood behind the Seven Heavens Statue, with the gently flowing wind element surging on the branches and leaves.

Dozens of wind crystal butterflies were flying under the cover of the trees.

This kind of environment with a slight wind element is undoubtedly the Wind Crystal Butterfly's favorite place.

Wang Daoyi stood in front of the giant tree, looking at the trees in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The seedlings have grown into towering trees, but where are the people who planted them now?

"Do you like this tree very much?"

A soft voice came from behind Wang Daoyi, and besides the voice, there was also a smell of alcohol.

The tip of his nose twitched slightly, and Wang Daoyi showed a hint of amusement: "Master Diluk is actually willing to lend you wine?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? Although Dawn Brew is expensive, I am the best bard in Mondstadt after all. As long as I save up money for a few months, I can still afford it."

Wendy's face was red with alcohol, and she could vaguely see a hint of drunkenness.

"You actually paid? I thought you were buying on credit again." Wang Dao shrugged indifferently.

"Hmph." Wendy snorted and rolled her eyes, but did not refute. She changed the subject and asked, "What are you doing in Mondstadt this time?"

As the god of Mondstadt, Wang Daoyi appeared in the windy land and Wendy noticed it at the first moment. After all, Wang Daoyi did not hide his aura.

Seeing Wang Daoyi staying at the place where the wind was rising and starting to look at the trees and sigh, Wendy understood that he was looking for her, so he showed up.

"Two things." Wang Daoyi stretched out his hand and raised two fingers. "First, I'm going to send you the wedding invitation for my wedding."

A wedding invitation floated towards Wendy.

"Wedding invitations? Wedding wine! Great!" Wendy's eyes rolled. As a god close to Liyue, he knew Liyue's wedding banquets very well. Wine was a must anyway.

Without any hesitation, he put the wedding invitation away and stuffed it into his arms.

"I'll take it. I'll be there when the time comes. Is there one more thing?"

"How do you deal with the soul?" Wang Daoyi asked softly.

Wang Daoyi's question was like a bucket of cold water poured over her. Wendy's drunken face froze, then she waved her hand, and the wind element surged, disrupting the energy of the area.

"What do you want to know?"

"The Maintainer's Sleep, you should also take action."
