Chapter 201: Chapter 201: The Ceremony Concludes! The Banquet Begins!

The grand convoy, after drawing almost everyone’s amazement and attention along the way, finally returned to Star Moon Bay.

When the convoy stopped at the gate of Xiao Fei’s villa, Xiao Fei was the first to step out of the car.

The maid approached the car and opened the door on Tang Yuxin’s side.

The guests invited to the wedding banquet lined up on both sides.

When Tang Yuxin stepped out of the car, everyone who caught sight of the bride was left stunned, their eyes widening in astonishment.

"Oh my heavens..."

"Sister-in-law looks absolutely stunning today!"

Xiao Jun, who hadn’t gone along to meet the bride earlier, nearly bit his tongue in shock.

Xiao Jun’s team members, who had been invited over, immediately pulled out their phones and began taking pictures relentlessly, as if they wouldn’t stop until their phone storage was completely full.

Xiao Jianwen, standing beside Xiao Jun, patted him on the shoulder. "Brother, you really found an enviable daughter-in-law."

"Beautiful, with a great personality, and outstanding in her career."

"There’s not a single flaw I can point out."

The group of sisters invited by Wang Fang clustered together, chattering nonstop with excitement.

This was also the first time they had seen Tang Yuxin, and exclamations of surprise kept flowing from their mouths.

Having previously seen the array of celebrities arranged by Xie Qiang inside the villa to liven up the atmosphere, they were already plenty astonished, but they hadn’t expected the bride to be far more stunning than any of the stars seen on television.

"I can’t even feel jealous anymore..."

Jiang Yu sighed in defeat.

"How can the rest of us women even compare to someone like Teacher Tang?"

Yuan Tong laughed and playfully smacked Jiang Yu’s arm.

Although she’d been married for years and had a loving relationship with her husband, even she couldn’t help but feel envious at this moment.

As soon as Tang Yuxin stepped out of the car, her three little ones, who hadn’t seen their mom all evening, instantly lost control of their excitement.

The toddlers toddled over eagerly.

"Mama..."

Da Bao was the first to cling tightly to Tang Yuxin, followed closely by Er Bao and San Bao.

Little Bei, perched atop Xiang Zilan, also rushed over with the two little pups.

"Aww... Da Bao, Er Bao, San Bao, did you miss Mommy?"

"Yes~~~"

The little ones responded in unison, with Da Bao even questioning her, "Mama, where did you go yesterday? Did you not want us anymore?"

"How could that be?"

Tang Yuxin planted a kiss on Da Bao, leaving a lipstick mark on the little one’s cheek.

"Mommy’s back now, isn’t she?"

Xiao Fei chuckled beside her, "Alright, alright, let’s head inside now, don’t keep everyone waiting."

The maids immediately came over and escorted the little ones away.

Yu Gaoshan, who had everything prepared, raised his voice and declared, "The bride has arrived! The newlyweds will now receive their friends’ blessings!"

A prelude of zither music began to play.

Led by a few artists arranged earlier, the crowd began reciting lines from the "Book of Songs."

Peach blossoms in full bloom, radiant in their beauty.

This girl marries, creating a harmonious household.

Peach blossoms laden with fruit, their branches bowing.

This girl marries, fostering familial happiness.

Peach blossoms with lush foliage, showing their verdancy.

This girl marries, bringing warmth to her loved ones.

Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin bowed in gratitude to all well-wishers and then stepped forward hand in hand.

At the grand entrance, Xiao Fei released Tang Yuxin’s hand and gestured in respect, inviting her inside.

Upon entering the villa foyer, Xiao Fei made another gesture of invitation, and Tang Yuxin finally stepped into the house she was so deeply familiar with.

Thanks to the assistance of property management and event planners, the interior of the villa had been completely transformed.

Not only was the already vast dining room utilized, but even the living room was filled with banquet tables, and additional seating spilled out into the garden courtyard.

The space was more than sufficient to comfortably host over a hundred guests.

At each seat of every table, a name card was placed, bearing the name of a specific guest.

At the very center was a special table.

This was arranged for Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin.

The chefs, who were well-prepared, now brought out the ceremonial "shared meal dish."

At the same time, Yu Gaoshan announced, "The groom and bride shall now perform the handwashing ritual!"

With that, he stepped forward to remove the red cloth covering the shared meal dish, revealing two copper basins underneath.

The groomsmen and bridesmaids immediately stepped up to assist; the bridesmaids ladled water over Xiao Fei’s hands while the groomsmen did the same for Tang Yuxin.

"The groom and bride shall now perform the facing table ceremony!"

Once again, Xiao Fei bowed respectfully to Tang Yuxin, inviting her to take her seat before sitting across from her.

"The groom and bride shall now perform the shared meal ceremony!"

Yu Gaoshan stepped forward, symbolically serving food to both Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin in turn. The couple ate and then rose to bow to Yu Gaoshan, who returned the gesture.

"The groom and bride shall now perform the hejin ceremony!"

The hejin ceremony, better known as the "cross-cup wine" ritual, was different from how it’s often portrayed in movies. Instead of linking arms to drink their own cups of wine, the couple fed wine to each other.

The cups used for this ceremony were specially crafted, made entirely of white jade. The two cups fit together perfectly, symbolizing a couple embracing each other.

Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin gazed at each other gently as they performed the hejin ceremony, then brought the two cups together, placing them on the ceremonial table.

The entire process was solemn and majestic, devoid of any banter or clowning, any gaudy entertainment gimmicks, or chaotic background music.

Almost everyone present was witnessing such an authentic Zhou-style wedding for the first time, and they were awestruck by the profound historical heritage it showcased.

Even Musk, who didn’t understand Yanxia culture at all, unconsciously held his breath as he took in the scene.

He could sense that these rituals clearly conveyed the significance people placed on "marriage"—the visible manifestation of marriage and family’s sacred place in the hearts of humanity.

Following the hejin ceremony, under Yu Gaoshan’s direction, Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin stood and performed eight reverent bows to heaven and earth, followed by a mutual bow between the couple.

Once again, the gathered crowd sang from "The Book of Songs: Tang Feng: Choumou" to offer their blessings.

Yu Gaoshan beamed brightly as he proclaimed:

"The ceremony is complete! Let the feast begin!!!!"

Finally, the wedding banquet commenced.

Everyone relaxed at last, taking their seats to eat, drink, and vividly discuss everything they had just witnessed.

The celebrities brought by Xie Qiang took to the stage one after another, each performing songs.

Joining the banquet?

They weren’t qualified for that.

Even the most prominent stars frequently seen in leading TV dramas and blockbuster films could only stand on stage, singing while casting envious glances at Tang Yuxin, who, under Yu Gaoshan’s guidance, followed Xiao Fei from table to table, offering toasts to the guests.

To ordinary people, those celebrities were unattainable.

But in front of genuine power and capital, entertainers like them were no more than playthings.

One particularly famous starlet was all too aware of this truth. In the entertainment industry, even a so-called "model couple" known widely across the nation could be ordered to divorce obediently when certain people wanted to divert public attention. Their marital failure would then be used to trigger a media frenzy and shift the public’s focus.

Finally, Xiao Fei and Tang Yuxin finished toasting every single table.

Even though Xiao Fei had been tirelessly helping Tang Yuxin, taking on most of the toasting duties himself, Tang Yuxin was still tipsy by the end, her steps swaying slightly as she walked.
