Chapter 393: Chapter 191: Repelling the Enemy and Punishment, The 1st Wedding_4 "Yes, Chief!" "I’ll head back to camp first." Xia Hong left a word, then turned around and walked straight out of the house. As he reached the door, he seemed to remember something, turned back, and said to Yue Feng, "Oh right, remember to go back on the eighth. There’s a lively event in the valley waiting for you all." The eighth, a lively event? ... First Year of the Great Xia, May eighth The last half hour before dawn. Usually, at this time, everyone just returned and was preparing to rest. But today was different. In the valley, three bonfires were lit, and the wooden houses were brightly illuminated, with people coming and going, bustling with excitement. "The wedding procession is coming, the wedding procession is coming..." A loud voice echoed through the wooden building, and many people rushed eagerly to the third floor upon hearing it. Room No. 96 on the third floor, west side. Xiao Kangcheng and Lin Lan, along with their son Xiao Hen, stood at their door. The three of them wore brand new beast skin clothing just exchanged from the Camp Supply Department, their faces full of smiles, looking both expectant and somewhat wistful. "The wedding procession is coming..." Hearing the voice from the hallway, the three quickly looked up. "Hahaha, Lord, this clothing is really festive." "This bright red is really eye-catching. I’ve never seen such red before." "Hahaha, how did this color come about, it’s just too red." "I heard it’s made by grinding Red Frost Tree into powder and then dyeing it with water." "It’s indeed eye-catching, but it looks very festive." "Hahahaha..." ... Before seeing Xia Chuan, laughter came from the end of the hallway. The Xiao Kangcheng couple seemed to know something, and their expressions became a bit strange; while the others around their door were puzzled and became curious about Xia Chuan’s attire today. After more than ten breaths, the crowd finally approached. "Hahahahaha..." "Hahaha..." When Xia Chuan stepped out from the crowd, those gathered around Xiao Kangcheng’s door burst into laughter upon seeing his clothes. Xia Chuan was not wearing his usual black cloak today; instead, he donned a slightly more fitting outfit. The material was obviously extraordinary, with a shimmering exterior, reminiscent of the black clothes worn by Chief Xia Hong. Extraordinary material alone wasn’t enough to cause such laughter among the crowd. The issue was that Xia Chuan’s outfit was red. Even though there were many white striped patterns on the outfit, the overall bright red was still too eye-catching. Coupled with Xia Chuan’s slightly awkward expression, it looked amusing, making everyone laugh even louder. There were many colors of clothing in the camp now, and red was not uncommon, but it was mostly worn by women or children. A grown man wearing all red was unprecedented, and naturally, it delighted everyone. "Father-in-law, I’ve come to fetch the bride!" "Alright, alright, Hang’er, quickly go bring out your two sisters." With a face full of smiles, Xiao Kangcheng instructed his son and, seeing Xia Chuan in that striking red, couldn’t help but laugh as well. "Hahahahaha..." As this father-in-law laughed, the others laughed even louder. "Hahahahahaha..." But soon, as Xiao Hen escorted his two sisters out on either side. The laughter of the crowd immediately halted. All eyes focused on Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu, and a hint of amazement appeared in their eyes, leaving them momentarily stunned. The same bright red, worn by Xia Chuan, was laughable, but on Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu, it was completely different. The fiery red long dresses beautifully accentuated their exquisite figures; The two sky-blue ribbons made of fine Frost Wolf fur crisscrossed on their chests, adding a touch of elegance to the outfit; Each wore a pair of dainty and exquisite red cloth shoes. With a layer of red cloth covering their heads, they couldn’t see their path, making their steps very light, which added to their charm to the fullest. "How beautiful." "This outfit is so pretty." "The shoes are lovely too, and those ribbons are gorgeous." "Isn’t this the wedding dress mentioned in the Xia Li?" "Yes, yes, it’s the wedding dress, the red veil, meant for brides." ... If the men present were stunned by their beauty, then the women in the crowd, almost without exception, all had eyes lit with admiration. Whether married or not, they looked enviously at the dresses on Xiao Ning and Xiao Yu, their eyes gradually filled with longing. "Sigh..." Yue Feng, amidst the crowd, felt a pinch at his waist, and grimaced. Turning to see his wife Lin Wan’s resentful eyes, he began to sweat profusely. "We’ve been married for so long already, don’t dwell on this. When Yuan’er grows up and gets married, his wife can surely wear this dress, right?" Lin Wan pouted but let her husband go. The thought that her son would grow up and marry, with a wedding just as lively, finally brought a smile to her face. Yue Feng was just an example. Many married men in the crowd were similarly pinched by their wives; as for those unmarried, the pressure naturally increased. "Don’t worry, everyone, I found out that the wedding dresses and groom’s outfits, the Craftsmen Department made five each. Anyone getting married in the camp in the future can use contribution value to rent them. Rest assured, all the ladies in the camp will definitely be able to wear them..." A quick-witted young man in the crowd noticed the anticipation on the surrounding women’s faces and hurriedly explained. However, before the women’s smiles faded, he added, "I’m talking about the unmarried ladies, not those already married, unless you marry twice." "Pshaw, pshaw, pshaw..." "Hu Peng, you can’t say anything nice, you’re the one who’s getting married twice." "Hahahahaha..." "Hahaha..." Seeing Hu Peng being chastised by a crowd of women, laughter erupted among the crowd. Leaving aside the banter, Xia Chuan completed the wedding procession, and took the two brides straight to the main hall on the second floor, to finish the final marriage ceremony. The main hall on the second floor was already filled with the rich aroma of meat and wine. With over twenty thousand people in the camp, almost everyone got a bite of beast meat cooked with salt, and those in the Earth-digging Realm each tasted a small cup of aged wine. "The chief said that all today’s expenses are on him, not just tonight. For the next ten newlywed couples, the same standards as tonight will apply. Everyone, enjoy the food and drink, we’re about to begin the ceremony!" With delicious food and wine, and the appearance of Chief Xia Hong, especially with Yuan Cheng announcing Xia Hong’s decision, the wedding atmosphere rose to another level. "First bow to the Great Xia." "Second bow to the parents." "The couple bow to each other." "Ceremony concluded, the couple crowns each other, may they be united forever!" ... The first wedding of the Great Xia concluded in an extremely lively manner. Xia Hong tried his best to complete all the wedding procedures based on his memory. To perfectly replicate everything was certainly impossible. Watching Xia Chuan crown each other with his two wives, Xia Hong felt gratified and also took note of the reactions of others in the main hall. Envy, anticipation, yearning, deep thought... Judging from these reactions visible in the hall, the first wedding of the Great Xia undoubtedly was a major success. "This can be considered the first step in establishing the Xia Li. With this start, things will be easier to handle afterward..."
