The majestic Haozheng Supreme Hall is even more brilliant under the sunset, and every stone brick is stained with light gold.
In the palace, with misty incense and bright lights, a wedding was being held. Fang Yuheng, one of the ancestors of Confucian saints and Mingde, presided over it. Zhi Tianming stepped back and became a witness.
As for miscellaneous events such as banquets and drinks, Xia Kanxuan personally arranged them. In such matters, he did not trust these old brothers.
The so-called simplicity in everything is just relative simplicity. If it is done according to Zhou etiquette, it will be too cumbersome. Not to mention Lin Tianxing and others, even the two parties involved, Lin Chongyang and Ji Wuxia, find it too troublesome.
Therefore, even after simplicity, the etiquette and links are still indispensable.
On the day of the wedding, since neither party had a family temple, they first went to the holy place inside the gate to offer sacrifices and perform the wedding ceremony at the same time. Fang Yuheng presided over it, which took half a day.
After the sacrifice, they came to Haozheng Supreme Hall, lit candles, burned incense, and blew firecrackers. The newlyweds took their seats and began to worship.
The Haozheng Supreme Hall is decorated with lights and decorations. There is an offering table in the center of the hall, with a memorial tablet for the Master of Heaven and Earth on it. There is an incense burner in front of the tablet. Lin Tianxing sits on the left side of the offering table, and the right seat is vacant.
"The auspicious time has come, the bride and groom are in place!"
As Fang Yuheng sang, Lin Chongyang and Ji Wuxia, dressed in formal attire, took their places under the leadership of Xia Yan and Mu Lingfeng.
Gentlemen grow old together, and their assistants have six hairpins. Tuo Tuo Tuo Tuo, like mountains and rivers.
Xiangfu is appropriate. If it is jade, it is Zhai.
His hair is like a cloud, and he disdains his hair. The jade is also the jade, and the elephant is the side.
It's fair to be proud of it.
The 瑳 Xi 瑳 Xi, its spread is also, covered with other 绻絺, this is the 绢碢.
The son's clear and elegant appearance is also the person's appearance, and the country's beauty is also the beauty!
"The bride and groom offer incense!"
The lit incense sticks were delivered to two people respectively.
"Kneel down, offer incense, and kowtow!"
The two of them knelt down, first inserted the incense stick into the incense burner, and then kowtowed in worship to heaven and earth.
Thank heaven and earth for providing everything they have now, so that the two can meet and know each other and love each other, and let heaven and earth bless their marriage.
After the ceremony was completed, the two were lifted up and walked to Lin Tianxing. Xia Yan and Mu Lingfeng brought tea cups to the other two people.
"Kneel down and serve tea! Kowtow again!"
The second time I bowed to the high hall, I thanked Master for his upbringing and hoped that the elders would bless their marriage.
Looking at the newlyweds in front of him, Lin Tianxing took the tea cup one after another, drank it all in one gulp, and then blessed the two of them:
"I hope that in the thousands of years of life, we will be reunited with each other for thousands of years, and our love will last forever. I wish you a happy trip to the Changchun house, and the orchid and jade will fill the garden."
He was also very polite for a rare occasion. Although his expression was still calm, people who were familiar with him could tell that his tone was so tense.
After serving tea, they kneel down and kowtow, and the two rituals are completed.
The two were lifted up again and stood face to face in front of Lin Tianxing.
"Kneel down and kowtow three times!"
The two of them bowed to each other, and from that moment on, they were officially married.
We share the same heart, the same virtue, and are comrades, sharing wealth and adversity.
"It's done!"
The two were helped up, the ceremony was completed, and then——
"Have a banquet!"
The banquet was more elaborate than the previous day, with Lin Tianxing and other elders sitting at the head of the table, Xia Yan and Mu Lingfeng and other contemporaries taking second place, and the guests and Di Longyin and other juniors taking second place.
Lin Chongyang and Ji Wuxia first toasted to their elders one by one, and then sat at the same table with Xia Yan and others.
"The couple are getting together now, and the marriage will be made today." Xia Yan raised his wine glass and said to the two of them, "In the future, I have to trouble my younger brothers and sisters to worry about him."
"Thank you, senior brother." Ji Wuxia toasted in return.
"It's time to settle down after you get married." Mu Lingfeng poured himself a glass of wine, then looked at Lin Chongyang, raised his glass and chuckled, "I wish you two a happy marriage and a son soon."
Lin Chongyang also raised his glass in return: "Thank you, senior sister."
"Brother Xia and Sister Shuang said what they needed to say." Yin Xiao
Shaking his head and sighing, he raised his wine glass and said, "May you two become lovers and be destined for three lifetimes."
"Thank you, Brother Yin."
"I wish my brother and sister-in-law to be united and happy."
Although everyone came from the Confucian sect, they did not arrange special drinking orders, just simple blessings.
Xia Yan and Mu Lingfeng both understood how difficult it was for their junior brother's character to arrive on this day.
The elders have placed high hopes on him since he was a child, and he has been responsible for the rise and fall of the line. At the age of 1,200, he has been the leader of the line of Confucian saints and Mingde, and has been in charge for a total of 1,500 years.
It is unknown how much blood and sweat he shed in the process of developing the lineage of Confucian saints and Mingde to the current scale.
In addition to these two brothers and sisters, it was Fei Feijun and Yin Xiaoshen who had the deepest understanding of it. They were the junior brothers who they single-handedly brought up, and were the first formal friends they made. They had witnessed most of Lin Chongyang's journey.
The pursuit of Confucianism is to cultivate one's character, manage one's family, govern the world, and bring peace to the world.
He is now successfully married, which can be said to have opened up a new situation for Confucianism.
At the wedding banquet, there was a lot of people drinking and drinking, and wine was a magical thing. Even an innate person with a high level of cultivation could get drunk if he wanted to.
Moreover, once they get drunk, they will start to call themselves brothers regardless of whether they were separated by seniority before. However, this situation mostly occurs between the younger generations, and the older generations will not let themselves get drunk.
Lin Chongyang's table has shown signs of this over time, such as Jun Fengqing.
This guy doesn't drink well enough, but he's very good at talking even if he drinks two glasses of wine.
The two tables on Di Longyin's side were even more exaggerated. They were drinking and drinking together. Xian Mo Yu and Ning Yuan were in tandem, changing their ways to pour wine into Ying Yunqian. The others...
It's not too big a deal to watch the fun.
After the mood was aroused, the Haozheng Supreme Hall also became lively. Yin Xiaoshen ran to Lin Tianxing's table, and Jun Fengqing took Jian Wushang and Jian Chuanchi to Di Longyin's place. Some of them couldn't stand still, but they still felt that they were not drunk, so they continued to drink each other.
When the venue ends, it is still necessary to be supported by other people before leaving.
…………
The moon is high in the sky, and red lanterns and silks hang in the courtyard. Occasionally, plum blossoms are blown down from the branches by the breeze. The candlelight in the bridal chamber is swaying, reflecting the figure inside.
The busy day was finally over. Lin Chongyang took off his dress, sat on the edge of the bed, and let Ji Wuxia remove his hair crown.
"Time flies so fast." He sighed softly: "Everything I have experienced in these years seems like it happened yesterday."
"It seems like yesterday that we first met."
At the same time as he spoke, Ji Wuxia removed the beaded hairpin on his head, then walked to sit next to Lin Chongyang.
The two leaned together and listened to each other's heartbeats.
The bright moonlight shines through the window, and the dim candlelight makes the two people's faces look soft.
Feeling the warmth coming from his waist, Ji Wuxia's blue eyes flashed with color, and he asked softly: "What are your plans for the future?"
"After..., let's talk about what happens next."
Their eyes met, Lin Chongyang's tone was very gentle: "At this moment, I am willing to relieve you of the responsibilities on my shoulders and become the freest person in the world."
The silent wind blew out the candle flames, and among the bright stars, only the sun and the moon could be seen singing together.
