Lin'an October.

Before the excitement of the Tomahawk Music Festival passed, the wedding of Han Lan and Xia Ningxuan came with the joy of the National Day.

Many couples also like to choose this day to hold their wedding and celebrate with the country.

Early in the morning, the relevant personnel of the wedding are in full swing to prepare.

The time of the wedding is set at dusk in the evening, and in the Chinese context, "dusk" means "marriage".

The Book of Changes also has a view that everything in the world has yin and yang, the sun is yang, and the moon is yin; The day is yang, and the night is yin; Men are yang, and women are yin. At dusk, it is an auspicious time to transition from day to night, from yang to yin, which coincides with the wedding.

From a practical point of view, this auspicious time is not unreasonable. After the wedding is held at dusk, it happens to be the night of candles in the cave room, and everything goes naturally and cheaply.

So traditional weddings are mostly held at dusk.

Since Han Lan and Xia Ningxuan's wedding this time chose a Chinese-style wedding, of course, the time was set at dusk.

In fact, as far as the complete theory is concerned, in ancient times, the wedding was in the early morning, from night to day, from yin to yang, the groom took the bride to the new house, and waited until dusk to hold the wedding.

During this time, the bride stays in the new house until the groom comes in at the end of the wedding. And the groom took the bride early, but he had to hold it, and he couldn't be in a hurry, and he couldn't go to see him in advance.

It was definitely impossible for Xia Ningxuan to stay in the wedding room all day, so this tradition was eliminated, and the wedding was also arranged to be held at dusk.

In addition to this, many etiquettes have also been eliminated or modified. For example, it is impossible for the bride not to see guests, and it is not so respectful to respect tradition.

In the end, the main links that were retained were selected: burning incense to worship ancestors, welcoming relatives, wo yu, holding geese, three worships, and untying the knotted hair with the same prison (jǐn), and there are some small details.

The busy early morning is mainly for the preparation of the feast.

Many ingredients need to be prepared in advance, and it can be time-consuming to make a wedding banquet well.

The wedding took place not in the old Han family's house, but in a Soviet-style courtyard in the suburban Shuangmu Resort. Han Lan contacted Lin Guiyi in advance and chartered the resort.

On the one hand, it is really inconvenient to hold this kind of wedding in the urban area; On the other hand, a Han-style wedding is still held in this kind of courtyard to feel better.

Now that you have this condition, why not use it?

The bride's boudoir is in another courtyard of the resort, and the procession of ladies and drums will beat gongs and drums to pick up the bride.

Although Xia Ningxuan's parents didn't catch up with the previous Tomahawk Music Festival, they also came over a few days before the wedding. Families stay here these days, and the resort has plenty of places to play, which is not boring.

Many relatives and friends who attended the wedding also arrived in advance and were arranged in the resort's homestay. There are still quite a lot of people, in addition to relatives and friends on both sides, some representatives of the fan group were also invited over.

Counting some of the staff who helped organize the wedding, as well as the company employees who signed up to join in the excitement without other arrangements for the National Day, as well as a small number of media who got the invitation, the entire resort was basically full, and it was not wasted.

In order to add some sense of ceremony, Han Lan and Xia Ningxuan were separated on this day, and they would not see each other again until they greeted their relatives.

After a simple lunch, the two of them changed their clothes and makeup in their respective rooms and prepared in advance.

The crew responsible for filming the documentary on site has also started filming.

The main thing is that there are more things on the bride's side.

Before applying makeup, it is necessary to precede the "noodle twisting ceremony", which is commonly known as the "opening ceremony", and the elders groom the bride's face before the wedding. Here Xia Ningxuan's mother uses a thin twine, which is pulled with one hand in the middle, and the two ends are tied to the thumb and index finger of the other hand, so that the twine is twisted on the bride's face to remove hair.

Of course, it's not really to twist the hair off the face, it's just that there is such an action, which is a bit ritualistic.

If you really want to operate, Xia Ningxuan's mother won't either.

After the dough is finished, it's time to put on makeup.

There are special makeup artists to help with makeup, and the makeup is more bright, but it is not completely in accordance with the makeup of the Ming Dynasty, but there is just a little style, and the actual operation is still based on contemporary aesthetics.

Xia Ningxuan's mother stayed by the side and looked at her daughter with emotion.

"The two of you didn't feel this way when you got your license last year, and today I have a feeling that your daughter is getting married...... Indeed, there is still a sense of ritual. ”

"Mom, are you going to forget that I'm married without this wedding?" Xia Ningxuan said with a smile.

"Not really, not so ......"

"Really, you and my dad lived in the Lion City for two, I'm afraid you forgot about me a long time ago, right?"

"Haha, not quite. You are the pearl of the two of us, mainly Han Lan, this kid, let us rest assured. You are also sensible, let us worry about ......"

Xia Ningxuan still glanced at her resentfully.

The relationship between this family is quite special, the parents are true love, Xia Ningxuan is dispensable at home, especially after she becomes an adult at the age of eighteen, she basically doesn't get involved in her private affairs.

But today, seeing that his daughter is really going to get married, the second elder still has a different feeling in his heart.

The makeup artist helped Xia Ningxuan draw her makeup, and Xia Ningxuan's mother stepped forward to take the comb and help her comb her hair.

It's like when I was a kid.

"I don't think I helped you tie your braids in years."

"Ever since I learned how to braid my own hair, when I was seven years old."

"Do you have any complaints about your parents?"

"There were, and now we ...... It's okay. I really appreciate that you respected my ideas at that time and didn't forcibly take me to immigrate to the Lion City, otherwise, I wouldn't have met Han Lan. ”

Xia Ningxuan's mother smiled a little guilty and slowly helped her tie her hair.

"Oh mom, I really don't blame you. You have your pursuits, your choices, and I know that. Since I was a child, I have learned to be independent, and it is also for my own good, I know ......," Xia Ningxuan said with a smile.

Mom didn't know when her eyes were red, and she choked up: "Think about how time flies really fast, the little girl back then is also married now......"

"Mom, what are you crying about......" Xia Ningxuan patted her with a smile in her eyes.

When the second elder immigrated to the Lion City, the family had actually experienced parting and seemed to be used to this kind of parting.

Xia Ningxuan really didn't expect that her mother would feel reluctant to marry her today.

Xia Ningxuan's mother wiped away her tears a little: "The little girl has grown up and married, and we are also old...... Alas, the years really go by so fast......"

"......" Xia Ningxuan.
