Chapter 2398: Worship
After breakfast, we had to go to the paradise. None of the Chao family members and in-laws were holding back. They hurriedly took their seats when the meal was about to begin. The young people even went to serve the dishes.
Chao Erye rented hotel rooms for his relatives to stay in, and also took care of other business of the hotel. The chef in the villa was also the hotel's chef.
Their little grandson went to the Xiao family to marry. Mr. Li and Mrs. Li placed the pink dumplings in the middle and sandwiched the dumplings into a sandwich biscuit.
It was rare to have a meal with the children, so the old couple took on the entire task of picking up the food and fed the little dumplings vigorously. As a result, the little dumplings were full to the brim.
The little dumpling that was full after eating, groaned and said that he would never love his grandma and grandpa again, and would ignore them. When the old man handed him the tea, he took it with his hands and feet quite honestly and fucked him until he was done.
Mr. Yang, Zhou, Lao Chao and others were greatly amused by the little guy. Not only did Xiaotuanzi have superb medical skills, he also had a unique way of acting coquettishly, which was a real pistachio.
Everyone at Chao's house finished their breakfast and sat for a while. Seeing that the time was almost half past six, they packed up and set off to the paradise.
The group of people was divided into several groups. The first group was the old man, old lady, and Mr. Chao's family. They took a ride on Xiaotuanzi's helicopter to go to the park. The others stayed behind and someone would fly a helicopter to pick them up later.
Classmate Le dragged dozens of people back to his one-third-acre land and landed on the grass not far from the west gate.
The old man and the old lady got off the helicopter and looked at the beautiful garden. They were extremely surprised. They followed the little guy to the Nanpaizang room and stored the spare clothes they brought with them in the room.
The old men and women are old, so in order to prevent accidents, they all bring some daily supplies, as well as a change of clothes and a coat. If they accidentally get their clothes wet, they can also change them, so that they are prepared.
Put the old men’s belongings in one room, and the old ladies’ clothes and supplies in another room to avoid any embarrassment when changing clothes or looking for things.
The old man and the old lady were excitedly clamoring to see the crane. Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, accompanied the old people to visit the garden. The Chao family's Sanjun and his wife first went to see if there was anything wrong with the place where the banquet was being held.
The wedding company worked up to midnight to get to the paradise, and started work at dawn, placing potted flowers in the Hall of Heroes and on both sides of the road, and placing flower baskets inside and outside the west gate.
The lintel of the west gate is also hung with red silk flowers and lanterns with the word "happy", and the stone lions are also tied with red flowers. Although only the west gate is opened, the east gate is also tied with silk flowers, and the stone lions are also covered with big red silk flowers, but there are no decorations. Place flower baskets.
The people from the wedding company left the venue early after decorating the venue. Brother Fu, Brother Qian, and Brother Jie assisted the employees of the wedding company in the morning. Later, they placed many warning signs and signs throughout the park, so the hotel chefs were responsible for making breakfast.
Zongzi was the main food for breakfast. The chefs cooked a pot of chicken stewed with mushroom soup. Breakfast was served at the Wuweiqi restaurant, with a total of five tables.
Leyun arranged a place for the old ladies and gentlemen to put their things, went to the kitchen, and saw the young men she had reserved - Yan Foodie and Liu Handsome Guy.
The two handsome guys and Brother Fu, Brother Qian, Mr. Li and Brother Leshan were sitting around the table eating happily. When he saw the little girl coming, Brother Fu stopped his chopsticks and said, "Little beauty, have you eaten?"
When the chefs and waiters saw the youngest princess of the Chao family, they all stood up to say hello to the master.
"Masters and handsome guys, please sit down. You have worked hard. It's still early at noon. Don't be in a hurry. Eat slowly." Le Yun greeted the chefs and smiled at handsome guy Liu: "Brother Liu, you and Yan The handsome guy came quite early.”
"It's necessary." Young Master Liu said with an upright look on his face: "You must not be a hindrance in helping the little beauty. Brother, I got up at four o'clock and came here."
"Yeah, yeah, a handsome guy who is willing to stay up until midnight is a handsome guy. In order to thank you for your hard work, I'm going to give you a bunch of rice dumplings as a thank you gift after I finish my work."
"The thank-you gifts are too unusual, but the little girl's rice dumplings are the most fragrant. I like them so much that I still have to take them away. Don't worry, brother, I'll go to work after breakfast."
Little Lolita was talking to Mr. Liu, while Yan Xing worked silently. His job was to do odd jobs. His main job was to go to the kitchen to help cut vegetables before serving at noon. There were many dishes that had to be cut and plated before being served.
After walking to the kitchen, Mr. Le Xiao first took a lucky bag and hung it on the two doors. Then he also hung a lucky bag on the lintel of the main hall of Qunying Hall. Then he went to the room where the fruits are stored in the back room to get a plate. Or baskets of fruit.
The old man and the old lady wandered to Yinyue Lake and finally found five cranes.
The red-crowned crane did not treat himself as a guest in the paradise. When he was not playing in the lake, he was just taking a stroll. In just one day, he visited the area from Huanyu Pond to Yinyue Lake, and also took a tour along the canal.
Because there are two lakes, you can go wherever you want, which is very free.
Generally speaking, red-crowned cranes like to be active on the shore in the morning and play in the lake in the afternoon.
Five red-crowned cranes with red crowns on their heads were playing and foraging under the plant corridor on the east bank of Yinyue Lake. When they saw a huge group of people, they spread their wings and leapt into the lake with a cry of "Crane, Crane, Cuckoo!"
The old man and the old lady watched the red-crowned cranes playing in the water on the shore, and even went to pick a few bunches of grapes, chatting while eating, which was very pleasant.
After finishing breakfast, Mr. Liu quickly tidied himself up and flew a helicopter to pick up people from Mr. Chao's villa. He picked up a group of people and brought them back to the paradise. He went again and picked up all the members of the Chao family and his in-laws twice. All taken to the park.
When the young people of the same generation of the Chao family arrived at the paradise, they walked around the garden with great interest. After walking around for a while, they followed the old man and the old lady to visit the Concubine's Blessed Land and the Concubine's Academy.
Lehuan Paradise is a private residence. Only the nave of each building is open for people to visit, and other rooms are not open to the public.
Even so, the magnificent architecture and exquisite carvings are amazing enough, and the crowds visit and appreciate it with admiration.
Even if it was a quick tour, it took almost an hour to visit the two courtyards.
The Chao clan members and their in-laws visited the courtyard. Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, locked all the gates in the backyard of the east courtyard and the academy, and then left through the passage between the two courtyards. The gates along the passage were also locked.
There is a notice board outside the gate of the east courtyard, clearly informing people that the east courtyard is a private residence. In order to protect the privacy of the owner, it is not open to the public. Entry is prohibited without the owner's invitation.
After walking around the park, the young people of the Chao family whose curiosity was satisfied went to help and sent some fruit platters and baskets to the pavilions, waterside pavilion corridors, stone boats, pavilions, and even the plant corridors. Place a small round table at a distance with fruits and plates containing peels.
Classmate Le again led others to lay carpets on the front and back of the screen wall facing the west gate.
In front of the screen wall is a place for the newlyweds to greet guests and receive blessings from relatives and friends. If the guests have any gifts, they will be taken over and stored behind the screen wall.
A table is set up on the west side of the screen wall as a workbench for the clerks who receive gifts or red envelopes. A guzheng and a guqin are placed on the east side of the screen wall.
There is also a small table behind the east side of the screen wall with several musical instruments.
Young Master Liu picked up the people from Mr. Chao's villa to the paradise and stayed idle for a while. It was not until Young Master Xiao called him that he flew a helicopter to pick up the people from Xiao's house.
Mr. Xiao lives in a compound assigned by the government. That compound is inhabited by bosses or their family members who have the same position as Mr. Xiao.
Mr. Xiao lived in an old-style three-sided courtyard. The east courtyard collapsed shortly after the founding of the People's Republic of China. After the residence was nationalized, it was rebuilt into a row of bungalows. The upper room and the west wing are still old-style brick and wood structure houses. Mr. Xiao's children all work in other places. Xiao Junyi's father is Mr. Xiao's youngest son. When Xiao Junyi was young, his father was still working in the capital. When he was a teenager, his parents also went out of town, leaving him to stay with his grandparents in Beijing.
Mrs. Xiao is four years older than Mr. Xiao. She also worked before and will retire when she reaches the retirement age. She will take care of the children's grandchildren when they need parental help.
Mrs. Xiao is actually already a grandpa and grandma. Their eldest daughter and her sons and daughters got married one after another in the past few years and gave birth to babies the year before last and the year before last. They were also promoted to grandpa and grandma.
Xiao Junyi is not the youngest among the cousins who share the same great-grandfather. She is the youngest among the brothers who share the same grandfather. She is also the last to get married. Once, the Xiao family almost thought that he would be single for the rest of his life after seeing through the world of mortals.
Xiao Junyi's parents, uncle and aunt are not in the capital. Mr. Xiao and his wife live in the compound. The place where he lives is very spacious. When Xiao Junyi gets married, the family dinner is also held in the compound. After the marriage, he will live with his grandparents for a while before moving. Go to their own little home to live a world of two people.
Xiao's family's triple courtyard has three upper rooms, with wing rooms on the left and right, three east and west wing rooms, and a bathroom in the northeast corner. There is also a row of three podium rooms behind the east wing, which were also used as firewood sheds for storing sundries or firewood in the past. .
The west wing is used as a study, and the east wing used to be a kitchen. Later, during reconstruction, the east wing was built into a bungalow. The northernmost one of the three bungalows was used as a kitchen, the middle one was used as a dining room, and the other was used as a guest room.
The other grandchildren are not with him, and the youngest grandson is getting married. Mr. Xiao will go to the west side of the house to build a new house for his grandson.
The Xiao family decorated the Sanheyuan by themselves, decorated it with lanterns and colors according to the traditional northern style, and paper-cuts were posted on the windows.
Mr. Xiao's children came back to live in the west wing. Mr. Xiao's brothers or cousins stayed in the hotel with Mrs. Xiao's natal family or her children's in-laws. Some of the young people who were arranged to pick up their relatives came to the compound the day before, and others arrived at midnight. Get up and go to the compound where Mr. Xiao lives.
Mr. Xiao led the wedding team to pick up his wife and hurried back to the compound. Because he set off early, he was only stuck in traffic for a short while and returned to the compound before 6:30.
Before the bride entered the courtyard, everyone waiting in Xiao's house had tidied up the main hall and laid carpets and tufts on the floor. Mr. and Mrs. Xiao and his younger brother and his wife sat down in front of the hall.
Xiao Chao's family is a high-ranking family, and they abide by the regulations on weddings and weddings. They did not set off firecrackers. They only set off a box of fireworks when the new daughter-in-law arrived in front of the Sanheyuan.
When they arrived outside the courtyard, Major Xiao carried his wife out of the car, stepped into the courtyard door, and put her down on the ground. The two of them stepped over the brazier together, stepped on the tiles, and were surrounded by people in the upper room.
The Xiao family members and in-laws were also amazed when they saw the bride in her attire. The phoenix crown and harem were exquisite and luxurious, especially the phoenix crown was the most delicate. The gems inlaid on the crown were all brilliant, and the headdress was worth millions at least.
An elder of the Xiao family served as the master of ceremonies. He and Quanfu's mother-in-law led the newlyweds to stand on both sides of the tuanpu, and then pressed the ancient chapel. The master of ceremonies shouted: "Bow down to heaven and earth."
The newlyweds stand facing the direction of the door, then kneel down and worship.
When the couple bows to heaven and earth, the master of ceremonies first calls "get up", and when the couple stands up and turns to face the high hall, he then shouts: "Second bow to the high hall."
Quanfu's mother-in-law helped the bride hold up her skirt while the couple knelt down and paid their respects.
The master of ceremonies shouted, and when the couple stood up, he shouted: "Husband and wife bow to each other."
When the couple bows to each other, the newlyweds do not need to kneel, but only bend down to bow to each other.
"The ceremony is completed and sent to the bridal chamber!"
After three bows, the master of ceremonies shouted, and Quanfu's mother-in-law supported the bride and entered the west room surrounded by relatives and friends.
Mother-in-law Quanfu arranged for the newlyweds to be enthroned.
The wedding bed purchased by the Xiao family is a double-moon-hole carved canopy bed, hung with a hundred child tents and covered with a bright red quilt.
Mother-in-law Quanfu helped the newlyweds sit on the wedding bed, tied a piece of their wedding clothes into a knot, and then handed them to the groom to unveil his head.
The bride did not cover her head, but had a bead curtain.
Young Master Xiao used the weighing pole to push open the bead curtain, and when he saw his wife's beautiful face, he smiled stupidly: "Ah Fu, my wife!"
Chao Yufu: "..." Could it be that Brother Xiao was transferred?
The groom stared at the bride and couldn't bear to miss her, and the relatives and friends who were watching made a fuss.
The onlookers' relatives and friends yelled at the groom to kiss the bride, but Mr. Xiao returned the favor and kissed his wife on the face, causing Chao Yufu to blush.
Quanfu's mother-in-law laughed so hard that she took the scale from the groom's hand and put it aside. Then she asked the groom to help the bride take off the bead curtain that covered the bride's face, picked up the tray with the wine glasses, and let the newlyweds drink the wine.
After drinking Hexin wine, the ceremony was completed.
In ancient times, a small strand of hair had to be cut from the heads of men and women and tied into a central knot. Nowadays, men do not have long hair, so this ceremony is omitted.
After all the steps were completed, Quanfu's mother-in-law went out to have tea with everyone, while the bride's bridesmaids and the Chao family who were bringing the wedding were well entertained by the Xiao family.
All the onlookers went out. Young Master Xiao quickly untied the central knot in his clothes and packed some dowry first. Then the young couple held hands and went out to meet several elders of the Xiao family.
Because I had to rush to the paradise in time, I only recognized a few elders of the Xiao family, including my parents, uncles, uncles, aunts, and uncles. I didn’t have time to introduce the other elders one by one. I will wait until the tea ceremony tomorrow morning to introduce them in detail.
After a brief acknowledgment, the Xiao family also served breakfast.
The Xiao family itself has nine tables, plus the bridegrooms and bridesmaids, there are twelve tables in total. Banquets are set up in the dining room and the upper room, the east wing is also set up for banquets, and there is also a table in the kitchen.
After breakfast, we still had to eat and tidy up, and then we were ready to go to the paradise.
Young Master Xiao waited for everyone to tidy up, and then told Brother Bo that they were ready, and Brother Bo called Young Master Liu and asked him to pick them up.
Mr. Liu drove the helicopter to park outside the triple courtyard of Xiao's hometown in the compound. He waited for the black-hearted little princess of the Chao family, the bride and groom, and the elders of the Xiao family to board the helicopter before driving away.
When the helicopter flew to the park, Major Liu landed the small plane on the sidewalk outside the west gate, allowing everyone to get off the plane and walk into the park.
The invitation from Chao and Xiao's family stated that the park would officially receive guests at nine o'clock. However, it was not yet eight o'clock, and there was already a long queue of cars parked in the reserved parking area outside the park. Those were all guests who came to the park early. , just wait until the park officially opens to welcome guests.
