The world of Chinese style creates a prosperous era for girl groups

While "snow falls in August" in the north, the warm south can still enjoy the vitality of spring.

No wonder Lu You wrote, "I am tired of wearing heavy fur coats in the twelfth month," and Su Shi also left behind the lines, "The twelfth month is like a raging wave, and catkins fly back and forth on the long embankment." Gu Lin even sang the lyrics, "At the end of the year, the sun is back, and the early plum blossoms are budding, and I can see through some of the whiteness."

It's a sunny afternoon.

Mother Xia, eldest sister-in-law Kuang Yurou, second sister-in-law Sun Na, Zeng Jingyi, and Xia Haoyang were drinking tea and appreciating flowers in the garden.

"It's so comfortable and warm under the sun. The South is so nice. I feel like sleeping." Zeng Jingyi had a lazy expression.

"The south and the north have their own characteristics. The north is cold but the climate is dry, so you won't feel cold if you wear two more layers of clothes outdoors. The south is warm but humid, which makes people feel more tired, as if they have lost blood and have no energy, just like how lazy you are now." Xia Haoyang said with a smile.

"Stop talking nonsense. Jingyi is sleepy because she is pregnant. Babies born to mothers who love to sleep will be healthy. It's such a good thing. Don't talk nonsense and make trouble." Mother Xia immediately spoke out to stop her and patted Xia Haoyang on the shoulder.

Xia Haoyang shrugged his shoulders and didn't care, but didn't refute.

The eldest sister-in-law Kuang Yurou and the second sister-in-law Sun Na pretended not to see it and took a sip of chrysanthemum tea. After all, everyone knew how protective Mother Xia was of her three daughters-in-law.

"By the way, Yangyang, Jingyi, do you have any special ideas about your marriage?" Mother Xia asked after taking a sip of tea. Although she asked both of them, her eyes were only on Zeng Jingyi.

This time, Xia Haoyang and Zeng Jingyi returned to Vancouver two months in advance. Their main purpose was of course to rest and protect the pregnancy, but they also discussed the issue of holding a wedding banquet.

The marriage certificate has been torn off, and the two have been living together for a long time. Their relationship is as close as paint and glue, and water cannot be poured in. However, Xia Haoyang's identity as a wealthy man and Zeng Jingyi's title as a female star meant that their wedding banquet was destined to be not too casual.

In addition, with the wedding templates of the eldest and second brothers in front of them, the two of them no longer cared about the content, process, guests and dishes of the wedding banquet. They just had some ideas about the time of the wedding.

And the idea is the sooner the better!

For Zeng Jingyi, who has been pregnant for half a year, if she wears a loose-fitting wedding dress, it should be able to barely cover her body shape without being too exposed.

For Xia Haoyang, since he had to hold the banquet anyway, he might as well do it early. According to the company's New Year arrangements, the period between the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and March was relatively free.

So both of them like this time period.

Xia Haoyang coughed loudly twice, then rubbed his nose with his right thumb. It was obvious that this was a prelude to saying something.

Mother Xia, eldest sister-in-law Kuang Yurou, and second sister-in-law Sun Na naturally turned to look at him, but the expressions of the three of them were somewhat amused.

"As for the wedding banquet process and venue, my family can arrange it anyway. But I don't want to invite any celebrities to sing at my wedding. I am a music studio myself, so I don't need to do that. I don't have much to say about the rest, but I don't know what your plans are for the timing?" Xia Haoyang threw the question back to his mother.

"I'm just asking for your opinions. Which month do you think would be a good time to get married?"

"If you ask me, I suggest that it should be after the 15th day of the first lunar month and before the third month of the lunar calendar. The sooner the better, because the entertainment industry is in the off-season at this time. We will be preparing for a new album after that. Also, there may be a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new university we are building in April, and I will definitely attend."

"What about Jingyi? What do you think?" Mother Xia turned and looked at Zeng Jingyi.

"Me? Well, that's fine. But the company does start to get busy after Qingming Festival every year, so let's do as my senior brother said and hold the banquet before March of the lunar calendar." Zeng Jingyi spoke quietly, her face still a little red.

"Okay, since both of you are interested in this period of time, I will find a good day during this time to help you get married." Mother Xia nodded with a smile.

"Okay." Xia Haoyang nodded in response with a relaxed expression.

Zeng Jingyi said shyly: "Thank you, Mom."

Mother Xia reached out and held Zeng Jingyi's two small hands, and said kindly: "Jingyi, are there any rules in your Yancheng for wedding ceremonies? It's best if you tell me first, and then I will go to discuss it with my in-laws."

Zeng Jingyi thought about it seriously, and then said: "There is nothing special about getting married in Yancheng. We just go to the hotel to eat, hire an MC, put on makeup, and find someone to take the video. That's it. But we usually eat at noon."

"Wedding banquets in Wenzhou are usually held at noon, but there are also cases where the bride sets up a banquet at noon and invites several of the groom's relatives and friends to attend, and then returns to the wedding banquet hosted by the groom in the evening. This is not a big problem. I want to ask if there are any particular etiquettes in Yancheng regarding wedding ceremonies or engagement etiquette?" Mother Xia asked kindly.

"Ah? Getting engaged? Can't we just find a hotel and have the wedding banquet?" Zeng Jingyi asked stupidly.

Mother Xia smiled and held Zeng Jingyi's hands tightly. "How can that be? We must follow the six traditional Chinese wedding rites. Even if it is simplified, engagement and marriage are equally important. I can't let my good daughter-in-law down."

Zeng Jingyi was somewhat moved by what Xia's mother said, but she didn't know how to respond. After looking at Xia's mother for a while, she turned her gaze to Xia Haoyang.

"Well, we in Wen City attach great importance to engagement. When my eldest brother got engaged, I deliberately rushed back from Yancheng, and then went to my eldest sister-in-law's house to hold the "gift-giving" ceremony." Xia Haoyang also nodded and said.

"Well, I don't know about all this. It's okay, actually. I don't mind, and my parents shouldn't mind either." Zeng Jingyi spoke in a low and awkward voice.

"How can you be so casual? Marriage is the most important event in life. The more solemn the ceremony and the more complicated the rules, the more it shows our Xia family's attitude towards this marriage. It is also a respect for you, Jingyi. It's a dignity. In ancient times, wealthy families seemed to have three wives and four concubines, but there was only one wife who was welcomed through the front gate with a sedan chair carried by eight people, firecrackers, gongs and drums. This was a symbol of status and an honor belonging to the hostess. Jingyi, do you hope that you can be sent directly into the master's bedroom through the back door by any brat?" said the eldest sister-in-law Kuang Yurou.

Zeng Jingyi once imagined her own wedding. She felt that her wedding banquet did not need to be too complicated. It would just be a simple meal for the closest people from both families to have together.

But what sister-in-law Kuang Yurou said just now hit her heart. That's right, how can marriage be so casual? If marriage is so casual, doesn't it mean that the man's family doesn't care about her at all?

Zeng Jingyi then realized why Chinese weddings have been so grand and lively since ancient times. It turns out that this is a proof of the status of the hostess in the family.
