Nancheng is famous for its gardens, a place where emperors of all dynasties have cooled off their summer heat. As their first stop in Nancheng, the two chose the largest garden scenic spot in Nancheng.
Although it was the off-season, the entrance to the scenic area was still full of people. Xu Yang opened an umbrella to shade her from the sun.
"Xianxian, come in a little, it's a bit hot."
Jin Mingzhu leaned towards him and held his arm.
The scenic spot staff was maintaining order among the queueing crowd. When they saw the couple Jin Mingzhu and Xu Yang, their eyes suddenly lit up and they turned back to the office.
Soon, a lady who looked like a leader came out to talk to them.
"Hello, sir and madam! I am the person in charge of the South City Garden Tourism Company."
"Hello, is there anything I can help you with?" Both of them felt strange.
"It's like this. Recently, our Nancheng Garden Scenic Area launched a free experience project of a Chinese wedding on the water, inviting tourists to experience the wedding customs of the Song Dynasty: phoenix crown and bridal robe, ten miles of red makeup, three letters and six engagements, and formal marriage. The performance process is also a viewing program in our scenic area."
"You two should be a couple, right? The gentleman has a handsome face, and the lady is as beautiful as a flower. They are simply a perfect match made in heaven. We would like to invite you two to participate in our water wedding experience."
"This……"
"Sir and Miss, you are not married yet, right? Taking part in this event can be regarded as a wedding experience. The photographer will follow you throughout the whole process to record your sweet moments." Seeing that the two were hesitating, the person in charge stepped up his persuasion.
"Xu Yang, I want to attend." Jin Mingzhu was persuaded. Although she knew it was fake, she really wanted to have a wedding with Xu Yang.
"Will you come with me?"
Xu Yang was a little hesitant at first, but seeing her expectant look, he nodded.
The person in charge smiled happily when he saw that the two agreed, and quickly arranged for staff to take them downstairs to dress up.
"Sir, Miss, this way please!"
Jin Mingzhu was brought to a room, where the staff first applied base makeup to her, drew distant mountain eyebrows, and put pearl veneers on her face; then she changed into her wedding dress, and finally combed her hair into a bun and put on an exquisitely crafted phoenix crown.
Jin Mingzhu is naturally beautiful, with skin as white as snow, bright eyes and white teeth, and a tall figure. After putting on the phoenix crown and bridal robe, she exudes an aura of extraordinary beauty, and her eyes and eyebrows reveal her unparalleled grace.
"Miss, you are the most beautiful person I have ever seen. This phoenix crown and bridal gown are tailor-made for you and make you look so stunning." The staff members exclaimed in amazement.
Seeing herself in the mirror, dignified and elegant, like a bride-to-be, and knowing that Xu Yang would come to propose to her later, Jin Mingzhu suddenly felt a little shy and covered her face with the Hehuan fan.
Soon, Jin Mingzhu was helped out by staff members dressed as dowry maids and boarded the black-sailed boat.
As a key tourist project of Nancheng Garden, the wedding custom performance of the Song Dynasty was created with great expense by the garden authorities; the costumes and props were all exquisite, and the staff also dressed up as people from the Song Dynasty to participate in the wedding. The rockery, strange rocks, pavilions and waterside terraces in the garden were all hung with red silk, trying to restore the real wedding of the Song Dynasty.
Both banks of the river were hung with red silk, the black-sailed boats were decorated with flowers, and the shore was crowded with tourists watching the wedding performances.
Jin Mingzhu covered her face with a fan and waited quietly for Xu Yang.
There was a sound of music and drums, and the crowd on the shore began to stir. A fleet of boats came from not far away, loaded with people and gifts to welcome the bride.
Jin Mingzhu tilted the fan and took a sneak peek. She saw Xu Yang wearing a red official uniform, an official hat, and standing at the bow of the boat with a heart-shaped knot in his hand. He bowed to the tourists on both sides of the strait from time to time. He had a handsome face, a graceful demeanor, and was as gentle as a jade-like ancient nobleman. Jin Mingzhu thought of two lines of poetry.
"When I was young, I could see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day."
Tourists from both sides of the strait were extremely excited to see such a lively wedding on the water, and cheered from time to time.
The wedding boat was approaching, and the bride's family refused to let her go and asked the wedding party to compose a poem to urge them to get ready.
Xu Yang thought for a moment and said, "I wish the phoenix would return home, but the flowers and butterflies are still reluctant to leave. I regret that I have not grown wings, so I can always fly with you."
Jin Mingzhu sat in the inner room, and Xu Yang's gentle voice struck her heart again and again.
He also wrote a few poems to embarrass the wedding procession, and was teased by others: "Stop embarrassing the groom, the beautiful bride can't wait any longer."
Jin Mingzhu's cheeks blushed and she was helped out of the boat.
"I'm here to marry you, Xianxian." Xu Yang bowed to Jin Mingzhu and extended his hand.
Jin Mingzhu felt a surge of tenderness in her heart. She took Xu Yang's hand and boarded the wedding boat.
After distributing red envelopes, the wedding boat set sail, and tourists came to greet them along the way, with gongs and drums beating, creating a lively atmosphere.
The ceremony was held at a waterside pavilion. After getting off the boat, the guard of honor led the way in front, holding signs, flags, weapons, etc. Xu Yang and Jin Mingzhu walked in the team, holding love knots.
When they arrived at the waterside pavilion, the bride stepped over the saddle, the wedding host said auspicious words, and the staff threw wedding candies and red envelopes to the onlookers, and the scene became lively again.
"The wedding ceremony will now begin. Please bow to heaven and earth."
Following the master of ceremonies' instructions, Xu Yang and Jin Mingzhu bowed outside the water pavilion.
"Second Worship Hall"
"Couple bows to each other" The two bowed to each other. The staff just reminded that in the Song Dynasty, men were superior to women, and the man should be taller than the woman when bowing. Jin Mingzhu lowered her head, and Xu Yang deliberately lowered it even lower than her.
"It's done!"
Under the guidance of the staff, the two sat upright on the bed. Xu Yang took down the acacia fan in front of Jin Mingzhu. The onlookers had been looking forward to seeing the bride. Seeing that the bride had grown up to be so beautiful and charming, they could not restrain their excitement and called her a fairy from heaven.
Xu Yang knew that Jin Mingzhu was beautiful, but he couldn't help but be stunned by her outfit today. Jin Mingzhu's cheeks were flushed, and she looked at him lovingly. At this moment, the noise outside seemed to have quieted down, and each other's eyes reflected each other.
The wedding master of ceremonies continued the wedding process, saying auspicious words and performing the knotting ceremony: cutting a lock of hair from the heads of the newlyweds and tying it into a heart-shaped knot.
The maid brought two glasses of wine. The two men held the glasses with the bases of the glasses connected by red thread. They saluted each other and drank from the glasses. Then they exchanged glasses again and drank from the glasses.
The ceremony was successfully concluded, and the last part was the encore tour. Flowers and plants and gardens complemented each other, and the black-sailed boats paddled slowly forward through the clear water. Jin Mingzhu, Xu Yang and staff stood at the bow of the boat, interacting with tourists from both sides of the strait.
"婠婠" Jin Mingzhu heard Xu Yang calling her and looked up at him.
"I actually regretted showing such a beautiful you to others."
"Let's get married, and I'm yours." Jin Mingzhu whispered in his ear.
The crowd on the shore saw this and shouted, "Give me a kiss!" and "Give me a kiss!"
Xu Yang was about to raise his hand to refuse, but Jin Mingzhu held up a round fan to cover them and kissed him on the lips. Xu Yang quickly kissed him back.
The crowd was almost boiling with excitement, and they rushed to take out their mobile phones to take pictures and record the scene, and their calls became louder and louder.
After the event, it was almost evening when we took off our costumes. The golden afterglow of the setting sun covered the garden, creating an extremely romantic light and shadow. Xu Yang held Jin Mingzhu's hand and strolled through the garden, pointing to her, "Look up, this is looking up at the scenery, borrowing the scenery, framing the scenery..."
Walking through the corridor and across the small stone bridge, Xu Yang introduced everything to her in detail. Jin Mingzhu listened quietly, looking up and asking questions from time to time. Happiness seemed so simple and within reach.
Back at the hotel, the scenic spot staff had sent all the image data to her. Jin Mingzhu snuggled in Xu Yang's arms and looked through them one by one. The photographer was also very professional and recorded many wonderful moments for them. Today's Song Dynasty wedding customs experience was too real, and they really felt like they were married.
"Xu Yang, it seems like we are really getting married." Jin Mingzhu squeezed into his arms.
Xu Yang hugged her, bent down and kissed her forehead, and said firmly: "We will get married."
Jin Mingzhu selected a few photos she liked and posted them on her Moments: An immersive Song Dynasty wedding on water, the Nth day of wanting to marry Lawyer Xu.
