Chapter 406 Going to the church to get married
Then he shouted to the crowd: "The auspicious time has arrived! The magnificent hall is adorned with brocade and splendor, and the music and songs are played on this beautiful day."
Our groom is handsome and has lofty ambitions;
The bride was gentle and charming, possessing a refined and virtuous character.
Now, the two of them meet in the vast sea of people, their hearts are in perfect harmony, as if they were made in heaven.
From this day forward, the groom shall, as a husband, protect his wife and shield her from the wind and rain.
Respect what your wife loves, value what she likes, stay by her side, and never leave her.
A bride should possess the virtues of a wife, manage the household well, and live in harmony with her husband.
Be filial to your parents-in-law, maintain good relations with relatives and friends, and create a harmonious and happy home together.
May your love be as strong as gold and your hearts as firm as a rock, supporting each other through the long river of time.
Through thick and thin, our love remains as strong as ever; we enjoy the four seasons together and savor the tranquility of life.
Let us pledge our hearts to each other and be united in marriage for a hundred years. May we enjoy prosperity and peace year after year, with many children and grandchildren, and a thriving family business.
This word!
Dongfang Jin and his group had just changed their clothes at the Prince's Mansion when they heard these touching words.
As soon as Gu Jingye and his group entered the Prince's Mansion, they were taken away by Gu Ruizhe (the second son of Lu Yunqing's sister).
Gu Caiwei had already left with An Dai.
"As you wish," [Wow, this word is absolutely brilliant.]
Dongfang Jin nodded. Marriage in ancient times was very particular, no wonder there are so many well-established families in modern times.
When the younger generation in the family gets married, this ancient tradition is still upheld: "Aren't you going to say a few words?"
Haha, this guy hasn't shown off in a while.
Ruyi cleared her throat. "When people meet in the sea of humanity, their hearts naturally merge; their minds resonate with each other, as if guided by the heavens."
On this auspicious day, we will be bound together in our love tent, and our beloved couple will sing together under the phoenix tree.
The husband shields his wife from the sudden rain, and the wife upholds the family's traditions and respects her father-in-law.
Affection is as firm as a rock, enduring through the ages; love is as enduring as flowing waves, lasting for ten thousand years.
Having seen countless sails, our affection grows ever stronger; having appreciated all four seasons, our joy is boundless.
We pledge our hearts to grow old together, may our blessings extend for generations to come. What do you say?
【Hmm, not bad, not bad, very fitting for the occasion.】
Ruyi smiled smugly and teased, "Aren't you going to sing one?"
Dongfang Jin walked to the side, holding a wine glass, and stood behind the crowd watching the newlyweds on stage. She raised an eyebrow and said, "Hmm, sing a song, I'll also cheer for my brother."
Our first meeting amidst the bustling world, a spark of understanding ignited our connection.
A blessed union, a perfect match made in heaven, may our love last forever.
The husband, with his strong will, sheltered her from the sudden rain; the wife, with her gentle virtue, managed the household and cooked meals.
A family that respects its parents and is harmonious with its friends will prosper; a family that lives in perfect harmony will enjoy a peaceful and happy life.
My love stands taller than a pine tree braving the snow, my heart is as devoted as the bright moon reflected in the water.
Amidst the passing of countless sails, love remains steadfast; through the changing seasons, love is never too late.
May our hearts be united in marriage, lasting a hundred years, and may our blessings extend to our descendants. How does this compare to yours?
They are evenly matched.
By the way, just now an envoy from the Cangmo Kingdom secretly went to the kitchen and bribed a chef.
He inquired about the source of the ingredients for the wedding.
Dongfang Jin swirled the wine in her glass, her face full of disdain. "So what if they find out? I doubt anyone'll tell them."
Indeed, the chef revealed nothing, only telling him to eat as much as he could at the meal.
[Hehe, well done! Remember that chef, give him a good reward later.]
Dongfang Jin looked up at the platform, at the couple standing opposite each other. [Let's play a wedding march.]
【okay! 】
Then, the master of ceremonies stood upright and unfolded his ceremonial fan with a "whoosh".
The gold-stamped character "礼" (li, meaning courtesy/gift) on it gleamed in the sunlight.
Then, he cleared his throat, drew out the words, and loudly proclaimed, "I bow to Heaven and Earth, thanking them for this blessed union!"
The sound was like the ringing of a great bell, instantly penetrating every corner of the Prince's mansion.
Upon hearing this, Prince Cang Lingxuan and Jun Qixian's expressions hardened, and their already solemn faces became even more dignified.
The two men placed their hands together in front of them, slowly turned around, and faced the direction where the ancestral tablets for Heaven and Earth were placed.
Jun Qixian's fingertips trembled slightly, but she still tried her best to maintain a dignified demeanor.
Sensing her nervousness, Cang Lingxuan, who was beside her, subtly moved a little closer to her, offering silent comfort.
The two stood upright like pine trees, their knees slowly bending as they knelt steadily on the prayer mats.
As the melodious ancient music played outside the hall, they bowed and kowtowed, their foreheads lightly touching the ground, their movements perfectly synchronized.
Every time I rise or fall, it is filled with reverence and gratitude for heaven and earth.
At this moment, a gentle breeze blows outside the hall, causing the wedding banners to flutter in the wind, as if heaven and earth are responding to the newlyweds.
After the first bow to Heaven and Earth was completed, the master of ceremonies waved his fan lightly and shouted again, "Second bow to the parents, to express our gratitude for their nurturing grace!"
Upon hearing the sound, Prince Xiaojun and Jun Qixian slowly rose, straightened their clothes, and turned around to face Prince Dun and his wife, who were sitting upright in the carved armchair.
Prince Dun stroked his beard, his eyes filled with love and relief, while the Princess clutched her handkerchief tightly, her eyes reddening, unable to hide her excitement.
The newlyweds took two steps forward and knelt down again. This bow was to express their gratitude for being raised and their deep love for their child.
Tears welled in Jun Qixian's eyes as she kowtowed, expressing her deep emotion.
Cang Lingxuan also looked solemn, expressing his respect for his parents with steady and powerful movements.
Then, the master of ceremonies waved his fan again: "Husband and wife bow to each other—!"
The young prince and Jun Qixian slowly turned to each other, their eyes meeting with deep affection.
They bowed deeply, making a vow to stay together for life, wishing that time would treat them gently and that they would never be apart until their hair turned white.
After exchanging greetings, the two turned around and faced the elderly Duke and his wife, who were seated in grand chairs, and bowed to them as well.
The old Duke Fuguo, as the maternal grandfather, said with a loving expression: "May you two support each other in the future, bring glory to the family, and live a prosperous and thriving life."
The Duchess rose, walked to the newlyweds, and personally straightened their clothes, gently instructing them: "Xian'er, from now on, the Prince's Mansion will be your home."
Xiao Xuan, you must treat Xian'er well, and may your marriage be harmonious and happy.
Cang Lingxuan pulled Jun Qixian along and said with a smile, "Thank you, Grandma. My wife and I will live a good life together."
Finally, witnessed by everyone, the young prince and Jun Qixian slowly turned around and stood face to face.
The master of ceremonies waved his fan one last time: "Send them to the bridal chamber—!"
Dongfang Jin...
He's panting heavily.
My grandparents are really something, why are they getting involved at a time like this?
Is this part of the wedding ceremony?
Cang Nanxi and Dongfang Yuan exchanged a glance and smiled helplessly. Their father-in-law and mother-in-law remained the same as always.
When he married Yuan'er and his brother-in-law, his parents-in-law were the same.
Oh well, let them have fun. As long as they're happy.
The moment the master of ceremonies' fan fell, the sound of firecrackers and gongs was deafening.
In an instant, the xiao (vertical bamboo flute), the chime bells, and the yusheng (a type of reed pipe instrument) resounded together, their melodies lingering and seemingly telling a story of ancient romance.
Ruyi: [Wow, this is a wedding scene! It's so interesting.]
Dongfang Jin's gaze was equally intrigued, and she nodded hastily. "Who says otherwise? I've only ever seen it in TV dramas and movies before; seeing it in person is even more exciting!"
Ruyi noticed that Dongfang Jin's second brother's mouth was stretched to his ears, and he walked with a swagger.
He teased, "Jin-jie, look how silly your second brother is grinning! He's so happy just thinking about our wedding night!"
Of course!
Dongfang Jin couldn't help but chuckle. "A moment of blissful intimacy is worth a thousand pieces of gold; how could Second Brother not be happy!"
Ruyi, [Shall we go take a look?]
You can't look at that; it's their private matter.
We must keep a close eye on those envoys and make sure they don't cause any trouble.
"Don't worry," Ruyi said nonchalantly.
Those people are very well-behaved now; they're eyeing our country's treasures with longing.
You didn't see it? The envoy from the Western Regions brought us everything except carrots.
Now, what they're really thinking about is the recipe for making cement and red bricks that your cousin has.
Dongfang Jin crossed his arms, his eyes gleaming with shrewdness. "If you want the formula, you'll have to exchange it for something of real gold and silver."
It's not just their country's crops, livestock, medicinal herbs, and minerals.
And the border lands and cities, none of them can be lost!
They can trade what they have for what they don't have.
