Chapter 283 The Wedding is in Progress 1
On May 23rd, Lu Yao's family was the only one to get married in Ping'an County.
Fortunately, there was only this family, so the venue for the wedding reception and banquet was not crowded, and there were enough cooks and servants to cook.
Because of Lu Yao's wedding, a hundred tables were booked for the banquet alone.
The three husbands entered the house together, and there were hundreds of relatives and friends from the three families who came to see them off.
Especially for the local richest family like Song Yan, who already has many family members and a complex social network, when everyone comes to drink a glass of wedding wine, the number of people increases rapidly.
The Lu family has quite a few people of its own, including relatives and friends, good neighbors in the village, Lu Yao’s own friends, people who come to support the business, and so on.
There are also hundreds of workers in the workshop who are all on holiday today to attend the boss' wedding.
One hundred tables were booked for twelve people each.
The wedding banquet was held above the workshop.
Lu Yao's new house is there.
The first floor of a large house of over a thousand square meters is mainly used for meeting guests, entertaining guests and working.
There are many halls of various kinds, which can be used as private rooms to entertain guests.
The rest of the guests were spread out in the living area above the workshop.
The venue here is very large and clean and tidy, so it is no problem to set up more than 70 tables.
The wedding was grand and there were many guests, not to mention that Xie Jingran also had distinguished guests from the palace come.
The person in charge of this wedding is no longer an elder like Lu's mother.
Looking at the entire county, only the County Magistrate of Ping'an can hold on.
Lu Yao invited the county magistrate and her aunt Liu Fang, who had been promoted to county lieutenant, to help take charge of the situation.
Early in the morning, with the help of the matchmaker, she changed into a gorgeous bright red wedding dress, carefully combed her hair, and put on a golden crown.
She had never been dressed so grandly before. The hollow golden crown made her look even more noble, and the bright red wedding dress embroidered with gold also perfectly displayed her beauty and heroic spirit.
Lu Yao was so beautiful today that even her father could hardly recognize her.
"Boss, you look so beautiful!" Zhang Sanniang's eyes lit up as she looked at the dressed-up Lu Yao.
"Of course I need to say more!" Li Siya looked at Lu Yao with a silly look on her face.
Zhao Cuihua: "Our eldest daughter used to be a great beauty in Ping'an County. Now that she's wearing her wedding dress, no one can compare to her!"
Wang Xiaowu exclaimed: "Boss is awesome!"
Lu Yao rolled her eyes: "It's been so many years, why are you still praising your boss with the same old words?
I hired a teacher for you guys before, have you been studying hard with her?"
When they heard about studying, the little sisters lowered their heads and turned their faces to one side.
Later, everyone followed the eldest brother and became rich. The eldest brother hired a teacher to teach everyone how to read and write, saying that "knowing how to read is not a disadvantage, and only with education can you go further."
It's a good thing, but for the poor students, everyone knows how difficult and painful it is.
"I think I need to put on some makeup." Lu Yao looked at herself in the mirror and had some dark circles under her eyes.
Because she was getting married, she was so excited that she couldn't sleep well these few nights.
The most annoying thing is that she didn't unlock a memory until last night, and learned that there is a custom in Feng Dynasty weddings:
When the bride goes to pick up the groom, she has to recite three lines of poetry.
Only when they were aligned did the groom open the door.
This, this, this is exactly the same as the groom knocking on the door at the wedding in the previous life!
Unfortunately, in his previous life, when knocking on the door, the groom could just give the door a red envelope and ask it to open.
You really have to match three sentences here.
Lu Yao hurriedly asked someone and found out that there really was such a link.
Lu Yao's heart skipped a beat at that moment.
Before, I secretly admired that the wedding etiquette in this world was not that complicated. It might be that Emperor Wu Zetian made some improvements.
Who would have thought that there was something set up during the makeup urging process.
After all, it is a world that values literati, and many places emphasize using talent to impress.
If the bride can speak eloquently and recite poems and songs at will during the wedding, it is a very proud thing.
Memory told Lu Yao that if they were ordinary people, they would just need to come up with a few proverbs, allegorical sayings, and auspicious words that come naturally.
The more educated and wealthy a family is, the more they pay attention to poetry.
When Lu Yao thought about Xie Jingran's family background, Song Yanyi's financial resources, and Jiang Yulang, the top student, she couldn't afford to embarrass herself at this time!
So, last night I found a copy of "Three Hundred Poems of Dafeng" and memorized them all night long.
Sharpening a gun in the face of battle will bring displeasure.
I hope I can catch the husbands’ poems and not let her be unable to knock on the door.
I just didn't sleep well last night, so not only is my brain a little fuzzy, but I also have dark circles under my eyes.
In order to brighten her complexion and cover up the faint dark circles under her eyes, Lu Yao applied a light smoky makeup!
The dark eyeliner outlines a smooth and perfect eye shape, and the perfect dark eyeshadow not only conceals the slightly dark circles under the eyes, but also highlights the eye contour, adding an indescribable sense of charm.
It feels a bit sharp, yet also a bit evil, and has an indescribable charm.
The girls were stunned when they saw Lu Yao like this for the first time:
“It turns out that women look so beautiful with makeup on!
The boss looks like a charming villain!"
Lu Yao looked at herself in the mirror and was very satisfied. "Mirror, mirror, am I the most beautiful woman within a hundred miles?"
The suona sounded, and the groom went to pick him up.
Xie Jingran was getting married from the old house in Shanyang Village, which was the farthest away. There were people from the palace helping to send him off, so Lu Yao was the first to pick him up.
Today, the Xie family's old house is decorated with colorful lights and red silk flowers hung everywhere, creating an atmosphere of joy.
The servants at the door distributed some wedding candies and fruits from time to time, attracting many villagers and children from Shanyang Village and even nearby villages to join in the fun.
The atmosphere of the happy event is quite strong.
Lu Yao rode on a tall horse, like a peerless hero, stepping on a colorful cloud to pick up the bride.
It was smooth entering the gate of the Xie family's old house, and the poetry recital was held at the door of Xie Jingran's house.
Surrounded by the crowd, Lu Yao stood at the gate in an orderly manner.
After several calls to urge the bride to get ready, a response was finally heard from the groom's side of the family.
Songyan's face was filled with joy, and he shouted loudly: "If you want to take my son away, you have to recite three lines of poetry!"
Lu Yao's people: "No problem! Please teach me, sir!"
After a burst of laughter, Songyan volunteered to shout out the first sentence.
