PFC Chapter 189 Xinyu's Wedding
Chapter 189 Xinyu's Wedding
On a sunny day, our heroine, the bride Liu Yixin, was sitting in her spacious and bright bedroom, fixing her hair in front of the mirror while glancing at her phone from time to time, her expression a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.
"Oh dear, it feels like there are still so many things we haven't prepared for this wedding!" Liu Yixin couldn't help but mutter, her voice clear and melodious, like a mountain spring.
At this moment, her older sister, Li Shiqing, walked in with light steps, carrying a bunch of small items needed for the wedding. She smiled and said, "Sister, don't worry. There's always a lot of chaos before a wedding. Let's go through the checklist one by one, and there won't be any problems." Li Shiqing was wearing a simple floral dress, and her wavy hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She exuded a mature and gentle aura.
Liu Yixin turned to look at her sister, sighed, and said, "Sister, I'm just afraid something might go wrong. What do you think of my makeup? I can't embarrass myself at the wedding, since so many relatives and friends will be watching." As she said this, she carefully examined herself in the mirror again.
Li Shiqing walked over to her, patted her shoulder, and teased, "You're a professional makeup artist, how could you ruin your own makeup? But speaking of which, the makeup trial today was really good. On the wedding day, you'll definitely look like a fairy descending to earth and make that kid Fu Yu dizzy with envy."
As the two were talking, Liu Yixin's phone suddenly rang. It was her best friend and bridesmaid calling. Liu Yixin quickly answered the phone and heard a hurried voice on the other end: "Yixin, something bad has happened. It seems there's a problem with the flowers we ordered. The supplier said they might be a little late."
"What? What are we going to do?!" Liu Yixin stood up abruptly from her chair, her face full of anxiety.
Seeing this, Li Shiqing quickly grabbed her phone and said into the call, "Don't panic. Let's ask them how late it will be, and then we'll think of something. If all else fails, we can go to a nearby florist and see if they can restock." After saying that, she comforted Liu Yixin, "Sis, don't worry. This is a small problem that can definitely be solved. Wedding flowers are very important, but we can't let this throw us off balance."
Just then, Liu Yixin's younger brother, Liu Qicheng, burst into the room like a cannonball, shouting, "Sister, brother-in-law asked me to ask you if you've prepared all the ancient ritual props for the wedding?" Liu Qicheng was in high school, full of energy, with a neat short haircut and two deep dimples when he smiled.
Liu Yixin glared at him and said irritably, "You brat, can't you be a little gentler? You scared me. Isn't Fu Yu in charge of those props? Go ask him."
Liu Qicheng scratched his head and said with a grin, "My brother-in-law said he's so busy he's dizzy, so he asked me to ask you."
Li Shiqing smiled and said, "Alright, you can go out now. We're busy here. The props should all be ready. You can have your brother-in-law check them again."
Liu Qicheng responded and ran out.
Liu Yixin watched his retreating figure and shook her head helplessly: "When will this kid ever be able to behave himself?"
While Liu Yixin and Li Shiqing were still worrying about the flowers, Liu Yixin's parents, Liu Xuan and Li Yuan, entered the room. Liu Xuan was wearing a neat shirt with a kind smile on his face; Li Yuan was wearing an exquisite cheongsam, looking elegant and poised.
"Xin'er, what's wrong? You're sweating profusely." Li Yuan asked with concern.
Liu Yixin told her parents about the flowers. After listening, Liu Xuan pondered for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll call a friend of mine. He has some connections at the flower market. Let's see if he can help." With that, he took out his phone and dialed the number.
Li Yuan walked over to Liu Yixin, gently took her hand, and said softly, "Xin'er, don't worry, your parents are here, we'll definitely be able to handle it. Just focus on preparing for your wedding, leave the rest to us."
Thanks to everyone's joint efforts, the flower problem was finally resolved. The supplier said they would deliver the flowers as soon as possible and would also give away some decorative greenery as an extra token of their apology. Liu Yixin finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking gratefully at her family and friends around her, her heart filled with warmth.
On the wedding day, the sun shone exceptionally brightly, as if the whole world was bathed in a golden glow. Fu Yu, dressed in a handsome traditional Chinese suit, arrived at Liu Yixin's house in a grand procession with a group of groomsmen.
"Open the door, honey, I'm here to pick you up!" Fu Yu stood at the door, knocking and shouting loudly.
Inside the room, Liu Yixin and a group of bridesmaids were laughing so hard they were doubled over. One of the bridesmaids, Xiao Mei, said with a laugh, "We can't just let them in so easily. We have to make things difficult for them."
Liu Yixin nodded with a smile: "That's right, we can't let them get away with this."
So, the bridesmaids started creating all sorts of challenges. First, they made the groomsmen sing love songs loudly outside the door, and if they didn't sing well, they had to start over. Fu Yu and the groomsmen started singing at the top of their lungs, and their off-key singing made everyone in the room laugh until they almost cried.
"No, no, this sounds awful! Let's start over!" Xiaomei shouted from inside the room.
Fu Yu had no choice but to sing it again with his groomsmen. This time, they were a little more serious, and they managed to barely pass.
Next, the bridesmaids took out a blindfold and had Fu Yu put it on, so he could find Liu Yixin by feeling her hands. After putting on the blindfold, Fu Yu carefully groped among the bridesmaids' outstretched hands, looking quite comical.
"Is this your hand, wife?" Fu Yu asked as he touched it, which caused everyone to burst into laughter again.
After much effort, Fu Yu finally found Liu Yixin's hand. He held it tightly, as if he were holding the whole world in his hands.
“Wife, I’ve found you,” Fu Yu said gently.
Liu Yixin's face was filled with a happy smile as she softly said, "Yes, I'm here."
Just when everyone thought the wedding procession was about to end, Liu Yixin's younger brother, Liu Qicheng, appeared again. He was holding a small box and said with a grin, "Brother-in-law, it's not that easy to take my sister away. You have to answer the questions in this box first."
Fu Yu looked at the box curiously and asked, "What's the problem?"
Liu Qicheng said mysteriously, "This is a quiz on ancient etiquette that I prepared carefully. If you can't answer it, you can't take my sister away."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yu inwardly groaned. Although he was an ancient etiquette teacher, this kind of impromptu question really made him a little nervous.
"My first question is, what are the 'Three Letters and Six Rites' in ancient weddings?" Liu Qicheng asked seriously.
Fu Yu thought for a moment and replied, "The three letters refer to the betrothal letter, the gift letter, and the welcoming letter; the six rites refer to the betrothal ceremony, asking the name, the auspicious date selection, the presentation of betrothal gifts, setting the date, and the wedding ceremony."
“Correct answer.” Liu Qicheng nodded, then asked, “In ancient times, what did newlyweds bow to first during the wedding ceremony?”
"Let's pay our respects to Heaven and Earth first," Fu Yu replied without hesitation.
So Liu Qicheng asked several questions in a row, and Fu Yu answered them all correctly. Although Liu Qicheng was a little unwilling, he had no choice but to let Fu Yu take Liu Yixin away.
After the wedding procession, the newlyweds arrived at the wedding venue. It was a beautifully decorated Chinese courtyard, adorned with red lanterns and red silk ribbons, creating a festive atmosphere.
The wedding officially began amidst melodious classical music. Accompanied by her father, Liu Xuan, Liu Yixin slowly walked towards the stage. She wore a magnificent traditional Chinese wedding dress, adorned with a phoenix coronet and embroidered robe, looking as beautiful as a fairy stepping out of a painting. Fu Yu stood on the stage, watching Liu Yixin walk towards him, his eyes filled with deep affection and emotion.
When Liu Xuan placed Liu Yixin's hand in Fu Yu's, he said earnestly, "Fu Yu, I'm entrusting my most precious daughter to you. You must take good care of her and make her happy."
Fu Yu nodded solemnly and said, "Dad, don't worry, I definitely will."
Next, guided by the emcee, the newlyweds began the various wedding ceremonies. They first bowed deeply to heaven and earth to express their gratitude for the blessings bestowed upon them; then they offered tea to both sets of parents to thank them for their upbringing.
During the tea ceremony, Liu Yixin and Fu Yu respectfully approached Liu Xuan and Li Yuan, carrying teacups. Liu Yixin sweetly said, "Dad, Mom, you've worked hard, please have some tea."
Liu Xuan and Li Yuan accepted the tea, their faces beaming with happiness. They nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, get up quickly." After saying that, they each gave the newlyweds a large red envelope.
Fu Yu's parents also had smiles on their faces, looking at the newlyweds with great satisfaction.
Next, the newlyweds exchanged rings and made a lifelong promise. Looking into Liu Yixin's eyes, Fu Yu said affectionately, "Yixin, from today onwards, I will always be with you. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we will face them together. I will love you with all my life."
Liu Yixin was moved to tears, and she said earnestly, "Fu Yu, I will always be with you, and we will create our own happy life together."
The relatives and friends in the audience were moved by this heartwarming scene and applauded enthusiastically, with cheers and blessings filling the air.
After the wedding ceremony, the wedding banquet began. Guests sat around round tables laden with delicious food, enjoying the feast and sharing in the newlyweds' joy.
Liu Yixin and Fu Yu went from table to table toasting the guests, thanking them for their presence and blessings. At each table, everyone offered their sincerest blessings, and of course, a few lighthearted jokes were exchanged.
"Teacher Fu, you'd better listen to Yixin from now on, or we, her family, won't forgive you," one of Liu Yixin's best friends said with a smile.
Fu Yu nodded quickly and said with a smile, "Definitely, definitely, I will take good care of her."
At this moment, Liu Yixin's brother-in-law, Zhang Chen, stood up, raised his wine glass, and said, "I'm especially happy for my sister-in-law and brother-in-law's wedding today. I just hope that you two will have a sweet and happy life together from now on, and that you won't rush things, but understand and tolerate each other. Come on, everyone, let's raise our glasses and wish the newlyweds a happy marriage and a long and happy life together!"
"Happy wedding, may you live a long and happy life together!" Everyone raised their glasses, wishing the newlyweds a blissful and fulfilling marriage.
At the wedding banquet, some fun programs were also arranged. First, Liu Yixin's younger brother, Liu Qicheng, went on stage to perform a street dance. His cool dance moves and energetic performance won rounds of applause and cheers from the audience.
Next, several of Fu Yu's friends went on stage to perform a skit. Their humorous performance made everyone laugh heartily, and the entire wedding banquet was filled with laughter.
Amidst laughter and cheers, the wedding banquet drew to a close. Although Liu Yixin and Fu Yu were a little tired, their faces remained beaming with happiness. Looking at their family and friends, their hearts were filled with gratitude. This wedding was not only a testament to their love but also the beginning of their new life together. In the days to come, they will walk hand in hand through every spring, summer, autumn, and winter, creating a beautiful future together.
