Chapter 30: The Wedding
(There are too many materials to prepare for the new book, and I am dizzy when I look it up!) From military to industrial, to agricultural, to ideological, including foreign conquest, diplomacy, and war, I feel like I'm going crazy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info)
Until many years later, countries around the world selected Ma Hongtao's wedding as the world's top ten most special weddings. Video clips of their wedding have also been going viral on video sites around the world, with a total of more than half a billion views, almost everyone in the world has seen it once.
Of course, the truth cannot be so high, mainly because there are dozens of clips that have been circulated, and many people have read it many times by themselves.
The reason why it has attracted the attention of people all over the world is that this wedding is not so much a wedding as a recreation of an ancient Chinese wedding, a fashion show of ancient costumes.
Because of this wedding, the retro style gradually became popular in the mainland. Because of this interesting wedding, as a designer, Paris regretted not coming for a long time. Later, she lived in the mainland for half a year, studied the ancient Chinese clothing style thoroughly, and finally many of her design styles have a strong Chinese style.
After Ma Hongtao became the chief financial officer of Zhou You, the latecomer came first, and now he has become the least poor among the brothers except Zhou You. Of course, this is not to think that Zhou You's salary is high, the main thing is that he manages the power to transfer funds and knows the flow of Zhou You's funds, so he can follow and make some investments, so that he can make a lot of money.
Since he is not short of money, as soon as he decides to marry Yu Xiaomin, he is ready to give Yu Xiaomin an unforgettable wedding. In this regard, Zhou You provided him with a lot of help, and on July 21, the whole Tang City was closed to the public, and no television and movie shooting was arranged, only for his wedding.
To this end, not only did all the staff of Tang City have to serve them, but the management office has prepared nearly 2,000 sets of clothes from different dynasties for all the guests who come to the wedding to change.
At the end of July, the temperature in Xiangcheng reached more than 30 degrees, and such weather, wearing such a robe, will definitely not be comfortable. To this end, the management office has moved all the blowers out, and next to almost every shade, there is a high-power blower working.
The chief planner of the wedding was a senior professor of the Xiangcheng Historical Research Association, who spent a month to formulate a complete set of procedures for the wedding, and all the guests were both guests and actors, and performed the drama together.
Since it is now dark, it will not really get dark until half past eight in the evening, so the wedding is arranged until six o'clock in the afternoon, and the official wedding is held at eight o'clock in the evening, and then at half past eight, after the worship ceremony, everyone will gather in the square for a big meal.
Arranged at this time, on the one hand, it is to follow the ancient rites, and the word marriage is derived from the knot and dusk, and the original wedding was arranged at dusk. Another reason, of course, is to avoid the hot weather during the day, and if you really want to hold a wedding in the heat of more than 30 degrees, you will wear a thick costume, I am afraid that it will be hot to death.
Zhou You chose a set of emperor's ancient costumes during the Qin Dynasty for himself, black on the top and red on the bottom, inlaid with gold edges, embroidered with a golden dragon, and a wig on his head, and then put on a crown of heaven. He is tall and tall, and if he wears the crown of heaven, he is more than two meters tall, and he looks very domineering.
In order to match Zhou You, Yan Fangqing chose a complicated set of queen suits, although it looks very graceful and luxurious, but it is obviously not cool.
Gracia is much smarter, and after wearing only underwear, he put on the neon clothes and feathers of the Tang Dynasty, although it is a little exposed, but it is much cooler.
Le Yao, who also came to the wedding, and Yang Mi are both scholars and Gracia, and they are dressed very coolly, but they will obviously take advantage of others in their eyes.
Several little guys also have their own choices, Zhongzhen and Zhong'an, who love beauty, both chose beautiful skirts, Zhongzhen chose the pleated skirt of the Han Dynasty, also called Liuxian skirt, and Zhong'an chose a full-breasted skirt, and they all specially asked Christina to braid their hair according to the pictures on the Internet.
Zhongxuan didn't like to mess with himself, so he wore a small scholar's green shirt, but Zhongge chose a good-looking chivalrous suit, but with her mixed-race face, it was not coordinated. The Central Plains didn't care so much, the weather was too hot, he refused to wear anything, so he put on a red belly pocket worn by a child, and he didn't care if it was exposed. However, he was combed with a cupola by Christina, which looked very cute.
Rodriguez and his family took countless photos and videos and sent them to Paris in the UK, where Paris began to beat her chest with regret, which made everyone happy.
At half past five, as soon as they walked out of the hotel, they were immediately surrounded by countless reporters. But today he was not the protagonist, and he had stated in advance that he would not give any interviews, so although the reporters were enthusiastic, they only took some photos and followed around.
As soon as he walked out, he regretted it, although it was half past five now, the sun had not yet set, the temperature was still very high, he was a little better, Yan Fangqing was sweating profusely for a while. Originally, they were going to go to the Tang Palace, but a group of women and children quickly got into a flatbed truck parked on the side of the road and insisted on not walking over.
Zhou You, a few women, a group of children, and the children's nanny, followed by bodyguards, more than 20 people, took three battery cars for tourists on the roadside, and then was pulled to the door of the Tang Palace.
It's even more lively here, the procession to welcome relatives has been almost ready, everyone wears different clothes, from the robes of the ancient times, to the soldiers' uniforms and cheongsams in the late Qing Dynasty, the costumes of three thousand years are gathered together, which is dazzling.
Liang Hao wore a brocade dress and a spring embroidered spring knife hanging on his waist. Zhou Minghong was the most trouble-free, a pair of flip-flops, a pair of beggar's knee-high linen trousers, and a sleeveless gown like a coolie wearing, and came out with his chest exposed.
Today, Ma Hongtao is the protagonist, and of course he wears more formal clothes than everyone else. A graceful and atmospheric men's wedding dress from the Tang Dynasty looks very energetic. It's just that the sweat stains left on his face mean that he is actually not feeling well at all now.
The funniest thing on the scene is Ma Hongtao's aunt, although Ma Hongtao and Yu Xiaomin are in free love, but today she also acted as a matchmaker. The makeup artist applied all the bad images about the matchmaker to her perfectly, with a thick layer of powder on her face, a bloody mouth, red and green matchmaker clothes from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and two plasters on her sideburns. The funniest thing is that she has a mole glued to the corner of her lip, and there are two long hairs on it.
Seeing her image, almost no one did not laugh, and she was more popular with reporters and the surrounding villagers and tourists than she was around, murdering an unknown number of films.
Her personality is very cheerful, and she is also spicy and generous, not afraid of people laughing at all, but has a feeling of complacency. Zhou You felt a little curious, and asked Ma Hongtao's sister Ma Hongxia to know that she was a lively person, and she liked it the most, and now she often works as an extras in various crews, and she belongs to the kind of person with a relatively high level, not only shots, but also lines.
Zhou You secretly thought that once today's day passes, I am afraid that countless crews will come to her to play the matchmaker.
At six o'clock, the welcoming team finally began to set off, and Yan Fangqing, who was hiding in the wind, was not too hot, and insisted on following Zhou You's side and showing his presence in front of everyone. However, she didn't know where to get a small rechargeable fan and held it in her hand and blew it on herself.
In addition to the people they arranged, many guests also joined in the fun. However, except for Ma Hongtao, who rode a white quart horse, and then four Mongolian horses pulled a double-decker carriage four meters long and three meters wide, everyone else walked.
This carriage is a real antique carriage, as if it were a moving pavilion. The pavilion is built on the upper floor, the inside is wide enough to roll, the outside of the pavilion is about 30 centimeters shorter, there is a skirt about 50 centimeters wide, at this time, there are many children sitting on it, one by one very happy.
Tang City covers a total area of about 1,000 acres, divided into five major areas: city towers, palaces, markets, mansions, and temples, and forms an almost circular main street along the eight major Tang Dynasty buildings such as the Imperial Palace, Mingde Gate, Thousand Step Corridor, East Market, West Market, and Qinglong Temple.
The wedding was held at the Imperial Palace, but the marriage was in a royal mansion in the mansion area, and it took about ten minutes to walk there when you went there. However, the team followed the suona band in front and back, they played and played, and from time to time there were tourists who hindered the team in order to find a good angle to shoot, and it took 20 minutes to arrive at the gate of the palace.
At this time, the woman's team greeted her, and stopped their team to ask for red envelopes, of course, it was impossible for the two sides to chant two poems like in ancient times, that is, to have a good time. However, the two sides went back and forth, pulling out all kinds of reasons, especially Ma Hongtao's aunt, her combat power alone almost swept a large area directly, and the other party's people were all defeated in a while, which made everyone laugh.
Yu Xiaomin's family was very good to Ma Hongtao's son-in-law in his previous life, and he is even more satisfied in this life, especially today's wedding, they can't find any dissatisfaction at all, in their circle of relatives, the old couple has earned enough face in this life.
During the Tang Dynasty, there was no phoenix crown and xia veil, and Yu Xiaomin wore a set of hairpin dresses, that is, a kind of skirt-style dress, but the main color was green. This is also the origin of the term red man and green woman. Zhou You also listened to the explanation of the professor who was the chief planner, and only then did he learn a little new knowledge.
However, when they were behind, they both knelt in front of Yu Xiaomin's parents, and Yu Xiaomin's father said: "Go to the daughter's house, take obedience as the right, and never forget to be respectful." The turtle's journey was half-understood, but he was too embarrassed to ask others.
Yu Xiaomin's mother also said under the arrangement: "You must be respectful, you must refrain from it, and you will not disobey your aunt's order."
Zhou You understood this sentence, and then Yu Xiaomin said: "Obey your parents' orders." ”
Although it may not be possible to do it, after such a ceremony, this wedding is no longer a lively in the heart of Zhou You, but full of a sense of sacredness. This feeling is difficult to feel in today's loss of traditional culture.
A sweet smile appeared on Yan Fangqing's face, but her eyes also became crystalline, obviously moved. Yu Xiaomin was still laughing at the beginning, but when she raised her head, she was already in tears.
Zhou You regretted it a little. He has always not attached much importance to feelings, and he just held a banquet with Yan Fangqing, and later coped with Gracia and Paris after a set of ceremonies in Salt Lake City.
He couldn't help but stretch out his hands, holding Yan Fangqing with his left hand and Gracia with his right hand, and whispered, "I owe you an unforgettable wedding." ”
Yan Fangqing hadn't reacted yet, but her eyes were much brighter, and she was embarrassed to ask if there were too many people. But Gracia was excited, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, this kind of wedding is so interesting, and we will make up another such wedding." ”
Yu Xiaomin is an only child, one of her cousins carried her on her back and sent her out of the door, and everyone followed suit, and when she saw too many people, she pulled the two daughters behind and told Batistuta. "You go with the children, don't let them get hurt."
Yan Fangqing said happily at this time: "The children are so old, how embarrassing it is to hold a wedding with such fanfare." What's more, your identity is different now, and you have to hold another wedding, which will have too much impact. ”
It is true that if Zhou You gets married now, I am afraid that the president will have to come a lot, and the impact is indeed too great. Gracia grinned and said, "Then let's do a small one together, you see the children, today is also very happy." ”
When they came out, the mats and braziers on the ground had been put away, but there were still a large patch of millet and sorghum on the ground.
On the wide carriage, Yu Xiaomin sat in the middle with a plate, obviously very excited. Zhong'an, who knew her, also ran to the car, didn't know what he was talking about, and was even more curious about her full head of golden hairpin, and touched it with his hand from time to time.
Under her influence, Nakahara, who was bare-bottomed, also climbed up and talked to Zhongxuan, who was sitting below, through the railing. Yu Xiaomin saw Zhongzhen, who was a little shy on the side, beckoned to her, and called her up, and Zhongzhen also laughed happily.
It took twenty minutes when I came, but when I went back, there were more programs scheduled, and it took forty minutes to get back to the palace. All the guests left a red carpet avenue, Ma Hongtao riding a white horse and Yu Xiaomin sitting in the carriage were sent to the bottom of the steps of the lobby like the emperor and empress, but these ministers wore too many styles of clothes.
Then, the two of them took the red silk and walked up the royal road together, entered the lobby, and prepared to worship the church. Waiting for the guests to watch the ceremony poured in, and those who couldn't get in could also watch the big screen play the inside from outside.
The timing was just right, eight o'clock, the chapel officially began, and then the two of them were sent into the cave room. The palace is fake, it looks like a product, it is full of palaces, and there are no cave rooms where people can live at all. This cave house was renovated from an ordinary house, pretending to be pretending, everyone gathered around for a while, and then asked Yu Xiaomin to change into a refreshing skirt, and then came to the square.
Now the task is to start eating and drinking.
