Lin'an October.

Before the bustle of the Tomahawk Music Festival was over, Han Lan and Xia Ningxuan's wedding came with the joy of National Day.

Many newlyweds also like to choose to hold their weddings on this day to celebrate with the country.

Early in the morning, the wedding personnel were preparing in full swing.

The wedding time is set at dusk in the evening. From the Chinese context, "dun" is the same as "marriage".

The Book of Changes also has a view that everything in the world has yin and yang, the sun belongs to yang, the moon belongs to yin; day belongs to yang, night belongs to yin; male belongs to yang, female belongs to yin. At dusk, it is just the transition time from day to night, and from yang to yin, which is exactly in line with the wedding, which is auspicious time.

From a realistic perspective, this auspicious time is not without reason. After the wedding is held at dusk, it happens to be a wedding night. Everything goes with the flow and acts cheaply.

Therefore, traditional weddings are mostly held at dusk.

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

In fact, in terms of the complete theory, in ancient times, welcoming brides 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 before the wedding was held.

During this period, the bride had to stay in the new house until the wedding was over and the groom came in; and the groom took the bride early, but had to hold back, not be anxious, and not go to see her in advance.

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

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

The selected parts were finally retained and selected mainly: burning incense and worshiping ancestors, welcoming in person, holding vegetarian geese, bowing three times, joining together with the corpse, untied tassels, and some small details.

The busyness in the early morning is mainly to prepare for the banquet.

Many ingredients need to be processed in advance, and it takes time to hold a wedding banquet.

The wedding was not in the house of Lao Han, but in a Su-style courtyard in the suburbs Shuangmu Resort. Han Lan contacted Lin Guiyi in advance and booked the resort.

On the one hand, it is indeed inconvenient to hold such weddings in the city; on the other hand, Han-style weddings must be held in such a courtyard to make it feel more comfortable.

Now that you have this condition, why not?

The bride's boudoir is in another courtyard of the resort. At that time, the wedding procession will beat drums and drums all the way to take the bride over.

Although Xia Ningxuan's parents did not catch up with the previous Tomahawk Festival, they also came early a few days before the wedding. The family has lived here these days, and the resort has many places to play, so it's not boring.

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

Including some staff who helped prepare for the wedding, the company employees who signed up for the fun on National Day without any other arrangements, and a small number of media that received invitations, the entire resort is basically full and not wasted.

In order to increase the sense of ritual, Han Lan and Xia Ningxuan were separated on this day and they would not see each other again until the wedding.

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

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

The main reason is that there are many things happening with the bride.

Before putting on makeup, you must first perform a "face-twining gift", which is commonly known as the "face-opening gift". Elders modify the face of the bride before the wedding. The specific customs of different places are different. Here, Xia Ningxuan's mother uses a thin linen thread, which is pulled with one hand in the middle, and tied the two ends to the thumb and index finger of the other hand respectively. In this way, the twine is twisted on the bride's face to remove hair.

Of course, it’s not that I really snatched my hair from my face. It’s just that I have such an action, which makes me feel a little ritual.

If you really want to operate, Xia Ningxuan’s mother doesn’t know either.

After the twisted surface is finished, make-up will be put on.

There are special makeup artists who come to help with makeup. The makeup looks more Ming-style, but it is not exactly based on the Ming Dynasty makeup. It is just a little style. The actual operation should still focus on contemporary aesthetics.

Xia Ningxuan's mother was with her side, looking at her daughter with emotion.

"You two didn't feel this way when they got their marriage certificate last year. Today I would like to give you a date and feel like your daughter is going to get married... It's true that you still have to have a sense of ritual."

"Mom, do you have to forget that I am already married without this wedding?" Xia Ningxuan said with a smile.

"This is not, not..."

"Really, you and my dad have lived in the Lion City with two people. I'm afraid you've forgotten me a long time ago?"

"Haha, it's not that. You are the jewel in our hands. The main one is Han Lan, which makes us feel more at ease. You are also sensible, so we can save our worries..."

Xia Ningxuan still looked at her resentfully.

The relationship between this family is quite special. The parents are in love with each other, and Xia Ningxuan is dispensable at home, especially after she became an adult at the age of 18, she basically didn't get involved in her private affairs.

However, today I saw that my daughter was really going to get married, the two elders still felt a little different.

The makeup artist helped Xia Ningxuan paint her makeup, and Xia Ningxuan's mother came forward to take the comb and helped her comb her hair.

Just like when I was a kid.

"It seems like I haven't braided you for many years."

"Since I learned to braid myself, I was seven years old."

"Do you have any complaints about your parents?"

"I used to do it now... it's okay. Thank you very much for respecting my ideas at that time. I didn't force me to immigrate to the Lion City, otherwise I wouldn't have met Han Lan."

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

"Oh mom, I really don't blame you. I know your pursuit and your choice. I have learned to be independent since I was a child, and it is also for my own good. I know everything..." Xia Ningxuan smiled.

My mother's eyes turned red at some point and she choked and said, "Think about it, time flies so fast. The girl from back then is now married..."

"Mom, why are you crying..." Xia Ningxuan patted her with tears in her eyes.

When the two elders 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 leave her because she got married today.

Xia Ningxuan's mother wiped her tears slightly: "The little girl has grown up and married, and we are old too... Alas, time really passes so fast..."
