Chang Xhong returns with the bride, and Zhulan and Zhou Shuren sit at the main seat, watching the couple slowly walk in, surrounded by witnessing friends and family, with everyone's eyes on the newlyweds.
Zhulan doesn't want to show emotions, but upon hearing the call to bow to the heavens, tears uncontrollably well up in her eyes.
Zhou Shuren is not much better; with the bow to the heavens, bow to the parents, couple-to-couple bow, he uses his sleeve to wipe away tears while no one is noticing.
Actually, the elder sons noticed, but out of respect for their father's authority, they looked away, though their hearts felt an ache, as the youngest son is truly his father's treasure.
After the ceremony, the young couple is sent to the bridal room; Chang Xhong's courtyard has been newly renovated with added scenery and transplanted maple trees. At this time of year, the maple leaves are bright red, matching the red silk, leaving first-timers mesmerized.
