The louder Wang Shouzhe made the celebration, the more honour it brought to the Liu family.
Maltose were rare goods; not only did the children scramble for them, but so did the adults. However, since they were all neighbours and friends, there was orderly conduct and no chaotic scrambling.
Suddenly.
A little girl aged around seven or eight failed to seize any maltose she desired several times in a row. She sat down on the ground and burst into a loud wail.
Wang Shouzhe instantly flew over to her, helped her up, and gave her a whole handful of maltose.
The little girl was so overcome with joy she began to cry and thanked Wang Shouzhe saying, “Thank you, bridegroom brother. I wish you and the bride sister many offsprings, several children as handsome as the bridegroom brother.”
Her words of blessing sounded rather pleasant.
Wang Shouzhe enjoyed it and handed her another round of sweets.
Then, he was immediately surrounded by the crowd.
Luckily, Shounuo and his team came over carrying boxes to break the crowd.
This bustle lasted for nearly thirty minutes.
At this point, those from the Liu clan, who had been waiting on the sidelines, specifically to greet Wang Shouzhe, came out to put an end to this segment: “This is good enough, don’t spoil the auspicious time intended for our bridegroom.”
The Liu family commanded significant respect. The villagers readily stepped away, satisfied and clearing the path.
A member of the Liu Clan stepped forward, smiled and bowed to Wang Shouzhe, saying, “I am seventh elder, Liu Gaoyun of the older generation in the Liu Clan. Brother Shouzhe, the journey here must have been exhausting, please come inside the shade to enjoy a cup of sweet tea and take a short rest.”
So it’s Seventh Uncle,” Wang Shouzhe hurriedly paid his respectful greetings, “The Seventh Uncle personally guiding me, it’s very overwhelming.” The younger generations too came forward to pay their respects.
At the same time, three elders in this marital procession team, Gongsun Qiang of Shanyang Gongsun Clan, Lu Zhengjie from Lu Clan of Yingxiu and Wang Dingzu from Ping’an Wang Family each stepped forward to greet Liu Gaoyun.
The first two men were Wang Shouzhe’s uncles, and Wang Dingzu was his third uncle. This convoy included elders from both his maternal and paternal clans and had everyone required.
Meanwhile, Wang Dingzu presented a red envelope to Liu Gaoyun’s team who had come to receive them. Liu Gaoyun received the biggest red envelope containing twenty pieces of Qian gold, for leading the way.
The band, specifically prepared by the Liu Clan, set a boisterous mood by playing cheerful festive music.
After having the sweet tea and a brief rest.
Lu Zhengjie came forward and said, “Brother Liu, it’s about time. Please lead the way.”
The time to receive the bride and then return to the Wang Family is always tight.
Liu Gaoyun, who received a sizeable red envelope, didn’t want further complications. He immediately announced, “Guide the bridegroom into the house.”
Then, the members of the Liu Clan took the lead, opening the way with the matrimonial convoy following behind. Behind them and around, an increasing number of spectators were following and watching. It was a lively and spectacular event.
When they were less than five miles from the main residence of the Liu Famfly, the path ahead was made of broad and sturdy slate.
By this time, the number of onlookers had increased significantly, and they started calling for more excitement. The band at the back was about to start playing.
They were about to step into the gates of the Liu family and without any lively programmes, it wouldn’t be in accordance with the rules.
In the convoy, Gongsun Qiang and Lu Zhengjie exchanged a glance, knowing it was time for them to take the stage.
During the bride-fetching process, the uncles from the bride’s side usually came forward to support their nephew’s show.
However, Wang Shouzhe was a mite special; he had two maternal clans.
Months before the bride-fetching, the two maternal clans squared off over this particular segment.
The cause of this, of course, was the two old ancestors who squared off first.
Mingsheng’s old ancestor and the other old ancestor pit against one another, arguing over who was the true maternal clan of Shouzhe.
Now both clans, one side held the family blood and the other held the moral high ground.
Naturally, neither would capitulate to the other.
And so, the tension extended to this moment.
Strike up the joyful music.” The well-prepared Lu Zhengjie, who had been instructed by Mingsheng’s old ancestor, launched his gong and drum band before their arrival.
Soon after, the sound of the gongs and drums vibrating, the atmosphere heated up instantaneously.
The crowd of spectators cheered.
“Is that all?”
Gongsun Qiang, who was also given a stern talk by the ancient ancestor, showed a look of disdain. “My brother Lu, could you show a bit of cunning when managing the affair for your nephew?”
With that, Gongsun Qiang clapped his hands.
Following that, a small group hanging at the rear of the convoy sprung into action. They were a carefully dressed acrobat team flipping and dancing, performing fire-breathing stunts on the go.
The scene was undoubtedly lively, immediately drawing the attention of the crowd. Even peripheral members of the Liu Family started to gather, enjoying the spectacle and cheering.
This acrobat team was specially hired from Longzuo County.” Gongsun Qiang said proudly, “Many prominent families in Longzuo County use this troupe for their weddings. Our old ancestor said that Wang Shouzhe is the legitimate grandson of our Gongsun Clan. On his wedding day, we must make it as lively as possible and can’t be careless.”
Wang Shouzhe in the parade looked helpless. These two uncles have been bickering all the way, neither willing to bow down to the other. He couldn’t intervene in such matters, and besides, it’s a wedding. It was normal for people to vye, competing in merrymaking.
Unexpectedly!
Lu Zhengjie, Wang Shouzhe’s uncle, raised the corner of his lips, “Just this?”
Following that, he carefully took out a red fan from the jade box. As soon as it appeared, a wave of heat surged out.
“The Fan of Fire Departure?”
Wang Shouzhe was taken aback. Really? The Lu Family actually brought out The Fan of Fire Departure just for the sake of saving face. That thing was a spiritual artifact, a great weapon in the battlefield!
Lu Zhengjie solemnly said, “In order to stage this show, the old ancestor allowed me to use this fan and spent five fire spirit stones to infuse the Fan of Fire Departure with energy, taking a whole month to train it.”
After saying that, he waved the fan.
Suddenly!
The Fan of Fire Departure burst into bright flames, and a majestic Fire Phoenix illusion lept out from within, dancing in the sky with blazing flames, creating a visually stunning impact.
Immediately after, another Fire Phoenix flew out from the Fan of Fire, chasing and playing with the previous one, as if they were an immortal couple.
“Wow!”
The crowd burst into a frenzy. Such a wedding scene was unheard of, unseen before. Even the direct bloodline members of the Liu Family were startled and ran out of the main house to watch.
Goodness!
Despite their worldly experiences, they had never seen someone use a spiritual artifact to set off fireworks at a wedding.
This Wang Family’s wedding procession really knows how to entertain.
However, the livelier the wedding procession, the more it flattered Liu Family.
This indicated that the party getting betrothed regarded this marriage very seriously and were earnest in their approach.
If the wedding party didn’t make any preparations, hurriedly arrived and hastily departed, it would make the Liu Family lose face.
It would feel as if they didn’t value their legitimate daughter.
Two months ago, when Chen Fangjie came to get married, he also made this part of the wedding very lively. They even invited an exotic dance troupe from overseas to liven up the atmosphere, giving the common folks in Ping’an Town quite the spectacle and broadening their horizons.
Yet Chen Fangjie’s celebration seemed lacking compared to Lu Zhengjie’s grand display. Filling a spiritual artifact with five fire spirit stones just to set off grand fireworks, that truly was extravagant.
In this way.
The direct bloodline members of the Liu Family were pleased. The Wang Family was extravagant in setting off fireworks, obviously esteeming Miss Ruolan very much.
This scene also reached the main residence of the Liu Family.
So much so, that the clan leader and his wife of the Liu Family, who were guarding the main hall, couldn’t help but sing praises.
Among the wedding party, Lu Zhengjie was quite pleased with himself, and looked provocatively at Gongsun Qiang, “After all, he’s a legitimate grandson adopted from outside. They’re not really putting their hearts into it. Unlike our Lu Family, who share direct blood ties with Shouzhe.”
All eyes then fell on Gongsun Qiang.
He rolled his eyes, “That’s all?”
Then, Gongsun Qiang waved his hand, with a grand air, “Come, come, let everyone experience the grand finale that we of the Gongsun Clan have prepared for our legitimate grandson.”
What?
It’s already come this far, and the Gongsun family still has a grand finale? The onlookers and members of the Liu Family were all astounded, eagerly anticipating what was next.
