"For such an important thing as the master of ceremonies, I should be the one to do it. Second from the left, don't you believe in your brother's and my abilities?"
Zuo Mengeng was wearing a tuxedo, his eyebrows twitching wildly as he listened to Zhang Haogu's chatter.
"Brother, you are a great talent in this world, how can you use it lightly? Today's wedding is the first of its kind in this world, and you still need to come and take care of it."
How crazy must you be to dare to leave the wedding ceremony to Zhang Haogu?
Zuo Mengeng was afraid that the surprise he had carefully arranged would turn into the joke of the century.
The wedding master of ceremonies was eventually handed over to Huang Zongxi.
From the perspective of later generations, such weddings are considered Western-style. However, from the current perspective, they are actually neither Chinese nor Western, and are mixed.
This requires the participants to have a certain openness and be able to accept novel things. Otherwise, the wedding will be ugly if it is neither fish nor fowl.
Among young people, the only one who can do this is Huang Zongxi.
Following Zuo Mengeng's example, Huang Zongxi also put on a tuxedo, holding the manuscript in his hand and taking the time to check it. He was even more nervous than under Qingshuiguan.
"Zhongheng, if I say something wrong later, don't blame me."
Zuo Mengeng quickly said with relief: "Why are you nervous? It's just a wedding. You don't need to follow the words in the script exactly. Just be casual and keep the rhythm."
With his words, Huang Zongxi finally felt a little more at ease.
When the auspicious time comes, come and invite people.
Huang Zongxi quickly packed his luggage and walked out quickly.
The lively scene quickly became quiet due to his appearance.
Most of the guests present had never seen this kind of Western-style dress, and they couldn't help but talk about it.
The resolute young man wearing such simple clothes not only does not look weird, but also gives people a vigorous and high-spirited atmosphere.
Of course, the current Jiangnan customs are also the main reason why guests take it for granted.
When it comes to fancy costumes, there are many lunatics in Jiangnan today who are even more outrageous than this.
Huang Zongxi just had no experience as a wedding officiant, so he was nervous. Standing in front of a large audience, he was very calm.
Just kidding, Political Commissar Huang can preach generously in front of thousands of troops. Mere guests are really not enough to make him frightened.
At the beginning, Huang Zongxi didn't even read the manuscript. With his knowledge, of course he didn't need it.
I saw him shouting loudly: "The sun is shining in the east. That girl's son is in my room. He is in my room. He is walking by me. The moon is shining in the east. That girl's son is in my door. He is in my room.
Come on, walk on my back..."
The opening ceremony with a famous chapter from "The Book of Songs" was appropriate and well received by the guests.
After reciting, Huang Zongxi entered the state and began to host.
"Today is a special day for Mr. Zuo Mengeng and Ms. Xu Ruolin to get married. I am very grateful to all my relatives and friends for coming and blessing me."
Zhang Haogu's role was clearly demonstrated. He hid in the crowd of guests and applauded wildly. While applauding, he also motioned for those around him to follow suit.
The nearby guests were puzzled, but hesitantly joined in the applause.
The applause spread from one to ten, and gradually, the whole place was filled with applause. Although it was not enthusiastic, it was very lively.
This different atmosphere surprised many people and thought this method was very good.
Huang Zongxi on the stage has already entered the alley.
"Next, please invite the elders of the man's family."
Neither Zuo Liangyu nor the Huang family came, so it was Liu Zongzhou who was Zuo Menggeng's elder.
Obviously Tian Wenzong's reputation is greater, and Zhang Haogu no longer needs to be the supporter. The guests spontaneously applauded, and at the same time their understanding of Zuo Mengeng became clearer.
When the news about Xu Ruolin and Zuo Menggeng's marriage spread, the public opinion from the outside world was actually not good.
In the eyes of many people, the Xu family was from a scholarly family and had a great reputation. How could they marry the son of a military general?
Seeing the relationship between Zuo Mengeng and Liu Zongzhou at this time, many people mistakenly thought that what the Xu family valued was Zuo Menggen's status as Liu Zongzhou's disciple.
Then the elder woman, Gu, came forward.
Xu Ji was nowhere to be seen, and the guests were talking a lot about what had happened.
Huang Zongxi pretended not to hear and continued the process.
"Now, I would like to invite today's groom, Mr. Zuo Mengeng."
No one noticed that two beautiful girls came out from one side of the reception desk. One was sitting next to the piano, and the other was holding a jade flute.
When Zuo Mengeng's figure appeared from the distance on the red carpet, the music also sounded.
For a moment, the guests' eyesight was completely exhausted.
Is it to criticize the groom, or to see who is playing the music?
This music is so strange and yet so familiar.
It seemed like I had heard it somewhere before, but the sound effect was so unfamiliar.
The reason why it gives guests such a feeling is that the music is produced by an ensemble of two very different instruments, the piano and the jade flute.
The guests felt that the music was familiar because it was "Feng Qiu Huang".
The piano player is Xu Ruoxin, and the flute player is Qiao.
That day, Xu Ruoxin was fascinated by the piano after seeing Zuo Menggeng playing the piano, and pestered Zuo Menggeng to learn it.
Of course, Zuo Mengeng could not refuse his sister-in-law's request.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ruoxin's talent was very high, and she was already good at it after only a few days of learning.
Seeing this, Zuo Mengeng taught her several pieces of music and asked her to change "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix" from a guqin piece to a score for piano and jade flute, and then use it at the wedding.
Xu Ruoxin was very happy that she could contribute to her sister's wedding, so she took her second sister-in-law Qiao and started practicing.
Today's appearance really shocked everyone with his skills.
Pan Xiaona hid among the men of Xu Mansion, watching his fiancée concentrate on playing, and he was completely obsessed.
It was also the first time that he discovered that women are so charming when they focus on doing things.
Thinking of what Zuo Mengeng said before, I couldn't help but secretly make up my mind.
To the beautiful melody of "Feng Qiu Huang", Zuo Mengeng walked straight and walked to the podium and stood to one side.
By this time, the guests had been attracted by this novel wedding. They stretched their necks to see what new tricks there were.
Huang Zongxi strictly followed the wedding procedures and announced loudly, "The bride is invited to enter!"
Xu Ruoxin, who had just finished playing "Feng Qiu Huang", seemed to have gotten the signal, and her fingers fell on the keys again.
Dang Dang Dang...Dang...Dang Dang Dang...
The solemn, elegant yet joyful melody quickly ignited the atmosphere.
The bride appeared in front of the guests, creating an effect like a volcanic eruption.
Many mature and prudent people couldn't help but exclaim, as if they were seeing a god.
An old scholar was trembling and couldn't help mumbling.
"The autumn chrysanthemums are shining brightly, and the spring pines are luxuriant and luxuriant. They seem like the moon covered by light clouds, and flutter like the snow covered by the flowing wind..."
Good guy, looking at Xu Ruolin wearing a wedding dress, he thinks she is the Goddess of Luo.
In fact, it's almost the same. Xu Ruolin is walking slowly while bathing in the warm spring sun. The loose hem of her wedding dress makes her seem to be floating in the clouds, and her whole person is full of fairy spirit.
Under the crystal white veil, the looming peerless face is even more breathtaking. Even Zuo Mengeng, a person who is used to seeing this, is completely lost at this moment.
There were many women present, and there were almost none who didn't go crazy when they saw this scene.
In the corner of the guests, there was a pair of stunningly beautiful mother and daughter. At this moment, looking at the dazzling Xu Ruolin, they were all lost.
The mature woman stared blankly, and couldn't help but mutter: "I can't breathe out half happy and half angry, and I can't hold it in my arms like I'm intoxicated."
God rewards a beautiful woman by marrying a talented and good son-in-law."
Then I didn't know what I thought of, and I looked sad and looked at myself in pity, which was incompatible with this happy and lively scene.
The twelve or three-year-old girl next to her was anxious and asked softly: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
The woman came back to her senses, quickly put her mood away, and looked at the girl.
"Chaoyun, the residence of the great scholar of Zhou Dynasty is high and deep, and the family rules are strict. After you go there, remember not to lose your sense of proportion, otherwise you will have no place to stand."
After hearing this, the girl's pupils trembled.
I happened to see the fairy-like Xu Ruolin walking up to Zuo Mengeng on the ceremonial stage.
The young general who was famous all over the world did not appear to be domineering at this time, and his eyes like a pair of seas were full of affection.
This kind of friendship is only for one person.
For some reason, seeing this scene, the girl became more courageous.
"Mom, I don't want to go..."
The woman was startled and couldn't help but scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about? Zhou University has a great reputation all over the world. Being able to like you is a great blessing for us women. Don't make any mistakes..."
The girl pointed at the newlyweds standing side by side with a stubborn look on her face.
"Why do we women have to be men's playthings? Why do we let others bully us like Piao Ping?"
Seeing the joy on the stage, the woman couldn't help but shed tears, and for a moment she was miserable.
Looking back on my life, it can be said that it was full of bitterness. Under the seemingly glamorous appearance, how can the humiliation I endured be explained to outsiders?
But she is old and can only do this for the rest of her life.
The girl in front of her was the one she picked out after thousands of choices. She has been cultivating her with all her heart, and she has become a real person.
It was originally a source of wealth, but people are not just grass and trees. How can they be ruthless?
The two have been together day and night for many years. Although they are not related by blood, they have the same affection as mother and daughter.
Do you really want this child to step into the pit of fire like yourself?
