Chapter 380 Longxia Wedding
Kaixuan International Hotel, multi-function hall.
It has already been decorated as a pure Longxia wedding venue:
The whole scene is red, with red flowers and a lot of wooden elements, such as flower stands, wooden doors, corridors, windows...
The softness of wood and the grandeur of red blend together, not only making the scene appear fuller, but also highlighting the leisurely and festive atmosphere of Longxia’s traditional wedding arrangement.
At 10:53, the wedding ceremony started on time!
All 50 tables in the hall were already fully occupied.
Ding ding dong dong!
As the soothing pure Longxia traditional music resounded throughout the hall, Su Yiming, wearing a red loose Hanfu, walked onto the front stage with a hand card that looked like a "memorial" in his hand.
He first faced the guests, put his left hand on his right hand, raised his hands to his forehead, bowed ninety degrees to all directions, and then stood up.
This is the most traditional bowing ceremony that has been passed down in Longxia to this day.
Wow!
The relatives and friends present at the scene, except for the relatives of Jiang Changqing and Ye Sangsang, were all friends of the Jiang family.
Business partners, good neighbors, classmates, teachers... are all present.
Many people here understood that Su Yiming was greeting them.
So the applause of hundreds of people soon filled the entire hall.
There were even many people who couldn't wait to take out their phones and start recording when they saw that the emcee was Su Yiming.
After all, it would definitely be a big deal if a popular first-line singer came to be the MC for someone else.
Some people are more direct and simply open their mobile phones, click on DouLe and start the live broadcast.
At the beginning, there were not many netizens in their live broadcast room.
But when netizens discovered that the person dressed in Hanfu standing on the stage in front was Su Yiming, they all became excited.
One by one, they began calling their friends and relatives to come to the live broadcast room to watch.
As a result, the number of guests online on the same screen in several Doule live broadcast rooms, which originally had only dozens of people, began to increase rapidly.
Hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...
In just a few minutes, the total number exceeded 20, and the number continued to rise.
"The great Longxia, the heaven has Han!"
After the applause died down, Su Yiming said in a magnetic voice, word by word: "The sun and the moon are bright, and my homeland is bright. I have been thinking about it for a long time and I admire it.
Now, Longxia has a dream, a rich country and prosperous people!
Falling in love with the phoenix crown and bridal robe, recreating the Han wedding of the Ming Dynasty!"
Wow!
Although Su Yiming's two sentences sounded difficult to understand, there was a sense of awe in them.
But the guests present could still understand "Han and Ming".
These were all extremely powerful dynasties before Longxia. The strong Han and prosperous Ming were not just talk.
As a result, an inexplicable emotion stirred in everyone's heart.
Unconsciously, loud applause once again echoed throughout the hall.
Facing the applause, Su Yiming opened the memorial in his hand and read: "Today we have a new son-in-law, Jiang Changqing, and a new bride, Ye Sangsang. Heaven and earth are in harmony, yin and yang are alternating, we respect the way, and celebrate together.
We invite you to the beautiful capital to witness a lifetime of tenderness!
The wedding master of ceremonies, Su Yiming, expressed his gratitude to all the guests on behalf of the new bride and groom!"
Having said that, Su Yiming bowed ninety degrees towards the guests again.
The applause was even louder than the previous two times.
Who would have thought that a celebrity could host Longxia’s traditional wedding ceremony with such style.
Not only does his appearance have an ancient charm, his speech is also very ancient, and even the content of his speech can match the atmosphere of the scene.
You know, in the traditional weddings they knew before, this kind of hosting words had never appeared. Generally, they just sounded "like" ancient style, which felt a bit out of place.
Now, not only do they no longer have this feeling, they even feel that this is how it should be!
It has to be said that Su Yiming's personal charm played a certain role.
"The Book of Rites says: A wedding is to reconcile the goodwill between two families, to show it to the ancestral temple, and to continue the family line. It has the important responsibility of carrying on the past and opening up the future."
Su Yiming continued, "It is shown to the ancestral temple, continuing the ancestral bloodline and maintaining the good family tradition; it is passed down to future generations, educating the next generation, inheriting the ancestral virtues, and setting an example for future generations.
The time has come, respectfully invite the new son-in-law, and inform the ancestors! "
Boom boom boom!
With the rapid drum beats, Jiang Changqing, also wearing a bright red Hanfu, but in the shape of a wedding dress, appeared on the stage.
He also imitated Su Yiming's actions and bowed to the guests and friends from all directions.
Afterwards, Su Yiming led Jiang Changqing forward and said, "Please!"
Jiang Changqing nodded slightly to Su Yiming and said loudly:
"Today, Jiang's son Changqing and Ye's daughter Sangsang hold a wedding ceremony and become husband and wife. We respectfully inform the ancestors of the Jiang family!"
After saying that, Jiang Changqing bowed 90 degrees to the sky.
What follows are some rather elaborate warning ceremonies.
After a full 5 minutes.
“The ceremony begins, ring the bell, light the lamp!
Respectfully welcome, newlyweds, to your wedding!"
Su Yiming looked at his friends and relatives who were still applauding, and raised his voice.
Soft music played, and the wooden door of the hall slowly opened. Ye Sangsang, wearing a phoenix crown and a bridal robe, walked out slowly with an exquisite round fan in her hand, half covering her face.
At this point, the new groom and bride come on stage and the wedding ceremony officially begins!
……
Compared to Western weddings, Longxia’s traditional weddings are much more complicated, and many of the rituals are passed down from ancient times.
After a series of ceremonies, it was finally time for the Heaven and Earth Worship Ceremony that the Longxia people had been looking forward to the most.
At this moment, each of the guests who are broadcasting live on the spot has more than 50 netizens in their live broadcast rooms!
It was also the first time for them to see such a pure Longxia wedding ceremony, so as they watched, they also discussed it:
"Oh my god, I didn't expect that Su Shen has the potential to be a host!"
"Don't mention it, this Longxia wedding is much more interesting than other Longxia weddings."
"Woo woo, if Su Shen could come to preside over my wedding, I could brag about it for the rest of my life!"
"I really envy this kind of wedding ceremony. I hope I can have it like this when I get married."
"It has to be something left behind by our Longxia ancestors..."
Netizens were discussing this wedding celebration. In addition to Su Yiming, their focus was more on the various Longxia traditional rituals presented in this wedding ceremony.
There are many that they haven’t even heard of.
But that doesn’t mean they don’t enjoy watching!
On the contrary, it was very enjoyable to watch!
Back to the wedding celebration:
"I bow to heaven and earth, thank God for the good marriage, and wish for a long and lasting marriage. Kneel!"
Su Yiming's shout was quite unique. Not only was his voice loud, but it also had a rhythmic tone, like he was singing.
Jiang Changqing held Su Yiming's hand and knelt down together facing the sky.
"I pray for peace and prosperity for the country and the people. I kowtow once. I pray for good weather and good harvests. I kowtow again. I pray for a good harvest. I kowtow three times! Get up!"
The roles of He Miao and Yan Yan are highlighted.
The two little girls diligently helped Jiang Changqing and Ye Sangsang to get up.
Although this scene seemed funny, the guests just thought the two little girls were cute.
"Bow to your parents, pray for their good health. Kneel!"
Next, Jiang Changqing and Ye Sangsang turned around and knelt down to pay their respects to their parents who were sitting on mahogany chairs.
"I kowtow once to thank my parents for giving birth to me. I kowtow again to thank my parents for raising me. I kowtow a third time to thank my parents for helping me grow up. Now stand up!"
Respect heaven and earth, thank parents, and then the couple bows to each other.
This time Su Yiming said a little more, he continued: "On the Three Lives Stone, the marriage is written, a hundred years of cultivation to be able to ride the same boat, a thousand years of cultivation to be able to sleep on the same pillow.
Newlyweds, perform the ritual of bowing to each other!"
Jiang Changqing and Ye Sangsang turned around together, facing each other, very close to each other.
"For one lifetime, one deep love, one bow; for mutual affection, two willing, two bows; for three lifetimes, three lifetimes of happiness, three bows!"
Jiang Changqing and Ye Sangsang looked at each other.
When the two men bowed, their foreheads lightly touched each other.
The eyes of the newlyweds, both man and woman, were filled with tears!
These are tears of joy, and even more tears of happiness!
“Three bows completed!
I will hold your hand and grow old with you. I invite the new son-in-law and the new bride to hold hands politely..."
Another series of etiquette and rules.
At 12 o'clock, Su Yiming was the only one left on the stage. He bowed to all the guests and made a closing statement:
"In the year of Jiashen, the month of Wuchen, and the day of Yichou, the new groom Jiang Changqing and the new bride Ye Sangsang, in obedience to the work of heaven and the union of earth, in compliance with the wishes of our parents and the wishes of the newlyweds, perform the grand ceremony of marriage and become husband and wife, a family, forever and ever, and only you two are in this perfect marriage!
Done! "
Wow!
The wedding ceremony, which lasted more than an hour, finally ended.
In fact, it was not just Su Yiming, but even the newlyweds Jiang Changqing and Ye Sangsang, who felt physically and mentally exhausted.
However, the relatives, friends and guests were quite enjoying the show.
When had they ever seen such a pure Longxia style wedding?
Not only did it broaden their horizons, but they also learned new knowledge.
Even many young men and women who are not married yet are thinking about having a pure Longxia-style wedding when they get married.
I’m really envious!
Of course, in addition to the guests at the scene, the netizens who watched the entire event were also full of envy and emotion.
Millions of people watched the ceremony together, and Jiang Changqing and Ye Sangsang's wedding was unique in the whole of Longxia!
……
From early this morning till now.
Best man, master of ceremonies, and Zongli, Su Yiming was so exhausted from switching between three different identities.
But we can’t rest now, because the big gifts promised to Jiang Changqing and Ye Sangsang have not been given out yet!
He went to a rest room and changed into his clothes again.
After looking at He Miao who was eating obediently beside Song Qingzhu in the hall, he went on stage again.
"Hey, why did Su Shen go up again?"
"Yeah, or is there any surprise?"
"Hurry, hurry, start live broadcast again..."
The wedding ceremony was over and the banquet had begun, so many guests who had just started the live broadcast turned off their phones and ate while discussing the meal.
They didn't expect Su Yiming to be on stage again, and everyone was full of curiosity.
"I'm very sorry to bother you for a few more minutes."
Su Yiming looked at the guests in the hall with a smile and said, "I have promised Changqing and Sangsang before that I would give them a big gift when they get married.
But I'm just a singer, I don't have any special talents. The only thing I can show off is singing, so I composed a new song especially for this couple.
Moreover, the copyright of this new song has been transferred to both of them.
Now, I will sing it to you!"
