At that moment, when he had leaned his ear against her chest, what he was listening to was her heartbeat…
The corners of Jing Haohao’s lips still lifted, but a layer of mist had welled up in her eyes.
Liang Chen carried Jing Haohao out of the apartment building, and when the wedding procession outside saw the bride, cheers and firecrackers erupted once again.
The sun shone brilliantly on the earth, the weather was ineffably pleasant, and Jing Haohao was carried by Liang Chen into the wedding car.
Through the window, Jing Haohao could see crowds gathered to watch the grand wedding. Someone, no one knew who, was tossing around red envelopes filled with wedding candies and fruits, causing a frenzy among the bystanders.
…
At half-past ten, the wedding procession slowly arrived at the Liang Family Old Mansion.
Although the Liang family held significant power and influence, they still adhered to many old traditions.
Liang Chen’s grandfather, whose health hadn’t been good in recent years and had been recuperating in a Beijing nursing home, had also made a special trip from Beijing for his grandson’s wedding. He sat at the head of the hall, with Liang Chen’s parents seated on either side.
Liang Chen, hand in hand with Jing Haohao, slowly walked over.

The best man and maid of honor followed, and when they passed by the fire basin, the maid of honor lifted the hem of Jing Haohao’s dress, and Jing Haohao took big strides to cross it.
When they reached the head of the hall, it was time for the tea ceremony.
A servant of the Liang family brought out the pre-prepared tea.
Liang Chen was the first to take a cup and respectfully offered it to his grandfather.
His grandfather accepted the tea with a chuckling smile, took a sip, then placed the teacup on a tray held by a servant nearby, and handed up a red envelope to Liang Chen.
Liang Chen took the red envelope, and then it was Jing Haohao’s turn to serve the tea.
Jing Haohao acted according to the given instructions, picked up a cup of tea, and politely offered it to Liang Chen’s grandfather. She bowed her head slightly and called out respectfully, “Grandpa.”
Liang Chen’s grandpa, with the very same smile as before, took Jing Haohao’s tea, also took a sip, and then handed her a red envelope.
Jing Haohao took the red envelope with both hands, and said, “Thank you.”
Hearing this thank you, Liang Chen’s grandfather couldn’t help but beam with glee.
After that, they paid their respects and served tea to Liang Chen’s father and mother, and received red envelopes as usual.
After paying homage at the main hall, it was time for the couple to tie their hair together and drink the conjugal cup.
This ritual of tying hair together is a very ancient ceremony which symbolized marital commitment in the past. Nowadays, it just symbolizes a couple’s unity.
Ahead of time, Liang Chen’s mother had instructed the makeup artist, so a loose strand of hair had been deliberately left hanging at the back of Jing Haohao’s ear.
The Liang family’s old nanny handed Liang Chen a pair of scissors. Liang Chen cut off the loose strand of hair from Jing Haohao’s head, then handed the scissors to Jing Haohao.
Since Liang Chen was quite tall, he deliberately bent down a little when Jing Haohao was cutting his hair, causing onlookers to smile.
Jing Haohao picked a discrete place and snipped off a strand of Liang Chen’s hair.
Nowadays, men’s hair isn’t as long as it used to be in ancient times, long enough to tie a knot. Therefore, they just mixed the strands of hair together and placed them in two sachets, embroidered with the red character for double happiness, then presented one each to the bride and groom.
This symbolizes that from now on, the couple will share a united heart.
After the hair-tying ceremony, it was time to drink the conjugal cup.
The wine was an excellent Hua Diao Wine.
As soon as it was brought out, the aged aroma infused the air.
The old nanny of the Liang family held the wine glasses and poured two cups of Hua Diao Wine, giving one each to the bride and groom.
In the conjugal cup ritual, it had been previously explained by Liang Chen’s mother that the bride and groom were supposed to just symbolically take a small sip when their glasses clinked.
